OSU dining records at least 89 health code violations
K a e ly n n Knoernschild invest i gativ e re p o rt e r
Dead crickets, dirty can openers and salads above 41 degrees have resulted in health code violations for Oklahoma State University. OSU campus dining accumulated at least 89 state health code violations in 2015, according to Payne County Health Department records. Of the 32 campus dining establishments, four passed inspection with no violations. The Student Union food court amassed the largest number of violations with at least 19, and the Atherton’s Rancher’s Club gathered at least 18, according to records. Records also revealed a sample of 12 off-campus restaurants collected 192 state health code violations in 2015. Most recurring violations at
OSU dealt with temperature control and sanitation. Some of the violations included failing to provide accurate thermometers, issues with the cleaning frequency of non-food contact surfaces, not sustaining the cleanliness food contact surfaces of equipment and utensils are clean, and improperly maintaining the proper cold and hot temperatures of food. Many of the violations were labeled as corrected during the inspection, according to the documents. George Neurohr, a Payne County health inspector, said he shows up for unannounced visits at each university dining spot at least once or twice a year depending on the level of risk the establishment poses to the public. Low-risk operations sell only bottled drinks and packaged food, which requires no preparation, and are inspected once a year, Neurohr said. Medium-risk establishments, which offer cook-to-serve foods and a minimum amount of raw meat products, are supposed to be examined every six months, while high-risk restaurants encompass a more complex menu and are to be inspected every three months.

“If for some reason we have a lot of violations, we can do more
inspections if we need to,” Neurohr said.

2009 Oklahoma state health code, which includes criteria for protection from contamination, chemicals and employee health among other categories. Alan Nahs, OSU’s food service coordinator, spends most of his time at West Side Café teaching students about food service and the rules and regulations that accompany the industry. “(Health inspections are) a necessary evil,” Nahs said. “Nobody likes having them.”
At each inspection, Nahs follows the inspector closely, correcting any issues not compliant with code and making mental notes about what can be improved. “He goes around and checks everything from top to bottom,” Nahs said. “Any food prep that we are working on or we have food out, he’ll make sure that it’s in the correct temperature, (and that) it’s not in the danger zone.” In addition to food preparation and overall cleanliness, the health inspector ensures items are properly labeled and stored and
We really want to do the best that we can. Are we perfect? No. But we can make an effort to be as best as we can.” Terry Baker Director of University Dining Services
confirms the kitchen equipment is functioning correctly, Nahs said. After the inspection, a report is given to the manager. If there are substantial violations are listed, a date is agreed upon for the inspector to return for a follow-up inspection. “If there is a major violation, they’ll be back anywhere from 72 hours to 14 days,” Nahs said. “They give you time to get it fixed, and then they come back.” If a restaurant is found to be non-compliant in the follow-up inspection, examiners offer management one more chance to correct the issue(s) before reporting the establishment to the state health department, Neurohr said. “For the most part, they’re in business to maintain a customer base,” Neurohr said. “And if you have people complaining about things not being done right, they’re not going to come back
and eat, and they’re not going to tell their friends to come back and eat.” Terry Baker, director of University Dining Services, said to maintain a safe operation, it’s essential for employees to receive food safety and sanitation training. “It’s important not (only) for the people that serve the food, but the people who receive it at the dock,” Baker said. “Safety and sanitation comes from the moment the food hits the dock.” Managers and full-time employees go through the ServSafe Food Safety Training Program sponsored by the National Restaurant Association, Baker said. Through the program, employees learn the proper ways to handle and store food, Baker said. Those who go through the training and pass a test over the material are certified for five years, she said.
In addition, University Dining Services has a handbook for employees, including those who work part time and don’t receive the ServSafe training. “Part of it’s the uniform code, what they wear to work and what’s required,” Baker said. “Then, they are trained on different ways of serving food, depending what the venue is and things like that.” UDS serves more than 17,000 students each day, and Baker said students are outspoken when they have issues with campus dining. UDS receives complaints in the form of social media posts, emails and in person, she said. “We really want to do the best that we can,” Baker said. “Are we perfect? No. But we make an effort to be as best as we can.” F o l l o w k a e ly n n :

Stillwater City Council proposes 2017 budget, wants public input news
. Council plans to transfer $15.3 million from Stillwater Utility Account into the general fund.
christie ta p p sta f f r e p o rt e r
The Stillwater City Council proposed 2017’s fiscal year budget at the Jan. 25 meeting, and the council is looking for feedback from Stillwater residents. Norman McNickle, interim city manager and public safety officer, said he wants to account for every penny Stillwater has. The projected revenue for

FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 2016
Becky Corbin/O’COLLY File Photo Mayor Gina Noble said that she wants the public’s opinion on how to make the Stillwater 2017 budget better. The city council proposed to transfer $15.3 million from the Utility Account to the general fund.
the fiscal year is $27.8 million, according to the budget packet. After Stillwater pays for the city and state mandated departments like finance, legal, police and fire, there will be $188,758 that will need to be paid off. That’s not including an additional $15.2 million for mandated city ordinances such as developmental services, parks and recreation, and transportation. At the end of the 2017 fiscal year, the total general fund is estimated to be $36.9 million with the Stillwater Utility
Account revenue estimated at $71.9 million. The total general fund revenue from the fiscal year of 2015-2016 is estimated to be $36.8 million with the Stillwater Utility Account revenue estimated to be $56.9 million, according to last year’s budget packet. These numbers are projected before the actual transfers. To pay the remaining balance, the council plans to transfer about $15.3 million from the Stillwater Utility Account into the general fund, according to the budget OCOLLY.COM
packet. “We are simply blessed to have the SUA be able to be an enterprise fund, which the founding people of this city said, ‘We’re building this, so we not only provide a service, but we can provide additional revenue to provide city services,’” McNickle said. Without the transfer from the SUA to the general fund, the budget for the city-mandated ordinances such as the developmental services and transportation may be cut. The numbers could also be subject to change because
they’re based on Stillwater’s sales tax revenue and how much the city spends. McNickle said in the past the transfer has been less than what is initially predicted. The council has until the end of June to decide on any changes to the budget, including how much is transferred from the SUA. The proposed budget is posted to Stillwater’s website, and the council also encouraged the public to attend a meeting Thursday to ask the administrative team that compiled the budget any questions about it. Mayor Gina Noble said she wants the public’s opinion on the budget and how it can be improved. “We are doing the people’s work, and we need their input,” Noble said. “So, we have started earlier. We are trying to put everything out there and to make it more simple and more transparent.” F o l l o w o ’ c o l ly : @ o c o l ly

After taking on long lines, Tapingo starts off-campus food delivery service
Riley Medill Sta f f Repo rt er
Tapingo made it so students don’t have to wait in line, and now they don’t have to leave their room. The mobile food-ordering service first gained popularity on the Oklahoma State University campus by allowing students to cut down long waits. Now the app offers a delivery service, in an attempt to make ordering food more convenient with mobile ordering. The conveniences Tapingo provides has caused the service to take root on many college campuses across the United States, and OSU is no different. Tapingo’s delivery service is operated through the Tapingo Courier app. Once an order is placed through Tapingo, it is funneled through the app, which sends a notification to available drivers in the area to pick up the food and deliver it to the customer. FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 2016
Andrew Alonso, a former management information systems student, is one of Tapingo’s Stillwater couriers, and despite being new to the job, he said he’s enjoyed it. “It’s just a fast process,” Alonso said. “They have a bunch of apps for us to use, and it’s really simple. So far it’s been awesome.” Alonso said at first he did have some trepidation, and that it took time to figure out the system, but that now it’s second nature. “At first I was a little hesitant because I didn’t really understand the whole process,” Alonso said. “But after about a week, it actually makes a lot of sense and I quite enjoy it.” The app has been popular at OSU, Leanne Reis, Tapingo public relations manager, said. “Tapingo is performing exceptionally well on the OSU campus,” Reis said. “In fact, OSU is one of our most successful campuses.” One of Tapingo’s focuses has been hiring couriers familiar with the campuses where they deliver, Reis said. Because of the recruiting strategy, many of the drivers are students. “We actively recruit current students,” Reis said. “But in high-demand areas anyone can be a Tapingo Courier as
long as they meet our quality standards.” Ashley Kuhn, an animal science production freshman, said she uses Tapingo to order meals regularly. “Well, (I’ve) used it a lot,” Kuhn said. “I’d say at least a couple times a week.” She prefers to use Tapingo rather than waiting in long lines to get her food, Kuhn said. Providing students with a more convenient lifestyle is Tapingo’s primary focus, Reis said. The app focuses solely on students because of the busy, technology-based lifestyles they live. “College students love Tapingo because it’s the perfect solution for the on-the-go, on-demand generation,” Reis said. “Not only do students live busy lives, they have also been the driving force behind the shift toward mobile technology.” “College life is busy, and the last thing students should be doing is wasting time waiting in line multiple times a day.” Without revealing Tapingo’s future plans, Reis said OSU students should expect the service to continue to improve and expand in Stillwater.

From OSU Communications
OSU OFFICE OF OMBUDSPERSON A PLACE TO BE HEARD communications and locate appropriate OSU resources to help. All services are free, voluntary and confidential. Since it was established in November 2013, the office has served about 200 students, faculty and staff. “The biggest thing I try to do is make sure people understand that this is totally confidential and voluntary and is the first step they can take if they think there is a problem with a policy, colleague, professor or pertinent issues related to the university,” said Bartels, OSU Center for Veterinary Health Sciences professor emeritus.
By Alex Marianos After sharing his knowledge during a distinguished career on the Oklahoma State University faculty, Kenneth Bartels is now listening to the concerns of others. Following his retirement last year after more than 30 years in veterinary health, Bartels was named to lead the Office of the Ombudsperson, which offers help in solving university-related concerns, conflicts or difficult situations for individuals or groups that mutually agree to participate in the process. The office helps students, faculty and staff across Stillwater, Tulsa and Okmulgee campuses. The ombudsperson can hear concerns, mediate conflicts, improve FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 2016
Bartels said he is not an advocate for just faculty and that he reports directly to the president, which helps him mediate situations and conflicts more effectively as a third party for students, staff and faculty “My job is to help whoever visits this office understand policy and procedure and point them to resources that can help them resolve their situation,” Bartels said. “The mediation is meant to provide the 'visitor' and whomever is being questioned to get together and talk about what is going on. Sometimes I can speak for the visitor to address who they are conflicted with if the visitor wishes to remain anonymous.” The Office of the Ombudsperson is not a replacement for formal dispute, however. “I am not trying to prevent people from going to a formal dispute,” Bartels said.
“I try to see if I can get people to talk with me as a mediator, but sometimes more formal means need to be taken. If the situation does escalate to a formal dispute, I step out of the situation and shred the documents from the person’s visit to my office because I maintain total confidentiality. I would only ever break confidentiality if the visitor presented a danger to himself or to others.”
As a member of the International Ombudsman Association, the OSU Office of the Ombudsperson adheres to standards of practice such as independence, neutrality and impartiality, confidentiality, and informality. When creating the vision for the office, Dr. Bartels and previous ombuds officer, Dr. Ron Beer, wanted to make sure that visitors knew there is a conflictresolution option for issues, large and small, before taking formal steps. “The whole idea is not to avoid formal disputes, but to get all the information about a situation and all parties involved before going further," Bartels said, “We want to be the first step in conflict resolution. What we don’t want is people thinking they have nowhere to go to be heard. We hear whatever people need to talk about and whatever they think needs to be fixed no matter how big or small.” Dr. Bartels holds his office in the highest regard and has three main goals for its growth and progression. “My vision is to work with the faculty, staff and administration to come up with a better way of introducing and teaching

new faculty and administrators about the evaluation system and learn how to utilize or clarify issues before a formal dispute is initiated,” Bartels said. “I think we have issues across our campuses that are different because the nature of the campuses are different, but I would like to create a level playing field in similar circumstances concerning policy and procedure and really working together as part of Oklahoma State University. Also, I just want to get the word out about the open door at the ombuds office and our role here at OSU.”

Most anticipated movies of spring 2016 by B r an don S c h mi t z Sta ff Reporter
“Hail, Caesar!”
Release Date: Feb. 5
Joel and Ethan Coen are among today’s most versatile directors, making it difficult to predict what the duo will do next. From grisly thrillers such as “No Country for Old Men” to my all-time favorite comedy “The Big Lebowski,” their work runs the gamut. “Hail, Caesar!” marks the duo’s return to crime comedy, as it focuses on the disappearance of Hollywood star Baird Whitlock (George Clooney). The trailers capture the aesthetic and behavior of the 1950s film industry. The 1950s film quality combined with a terrific ensemble and the Coen brothers’ pedigree, this looks like a winner. universal
“10 CloverField Lane”
Release Date: March 11
If nothing else, this movie deserves praise for remaining a secret up until a couple of weeks ago. In an era when films are announced years in advance, it’s refreshing to see a movie come out of left field a mere eight weeks before its release. It’s unclear what connection this movie has to the 2008 “Cloverfield.” Producer J.J. Abrams touts it as a “blood relative.” If “Hateful Eight” is any indication, then I love seeing talented actors trapped in a single location with one another.
“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”
Release Date: March 25
As a fan of “Man of Steel,” I’m cautiously optimistic about D.C.’s second cinematic universe entry. The premise of the film is long overdue for many: a big-screen clash between the two most iconic comic book characters. In addition, Ben Affleck seems to nail the rage of a seasoned Dark Knight. Jesse Eisenberg’s portrayal of Lex Luthor hints at Batman and Robin levels of hamminess. Fingers crossed, that’s just a facade. Additionally, the trailers and other marketing material point toward a cluttered story. Hopefully this movie avoids the failings of “Amazing Spider-Man 2,” which crammed in too much world-building material. dc comics
“Captain America: Civil War”
Release Date: May 6
Marvel’s hold over the first week of May continues with its adaptation of another beloved comic book arc. The events of “Age of Ultron” led to legislation that holds superheroes accountable for their destructive exploits. This doesn’t sit well with everyone, least of all Captain America. Directors Anthony and Joe Russo brought the Marvel cinematic universe back down to earth with 2014’s spy thriller in disguise, “Winter Soldier.” Considering what they’ve brought to the table, they’re the perfect duo to explore both the political and familial conflict of a post-Ultron world.
