Cogan noted that she will be meeting with the new manager of
Friendly's Ice Cream and neighbor, Ed Lehman, in September to
discuss an ongoing problem with grease spillage. The Inspector
has noted an ongoing problem with the dumpster at Anthony's Subs
and Seafood and requested that they meet with the Board if it
continues. Bill Murphy held a chokesaver course for 11 Reading
restaurant workers. He was thanked by the Chairman for volun-
teering to do this for the community.
The Prevention Education Coordinator gave a short presentation of
the substance abuse program. A lot of discussion centered on the
teacher training which was happening that day. 141 or 80% of the
teachers will have completed this training by tomorrow.
The Board discussed their meeting with the Board of Selectmen on

would be the need for a Public Health Nurse. Nugent will make
the presentation with other Board members present for back up.
The next scheduled meeting is September 10.
