Restaurant has new owners
4' by Pat Livingston
The little restaurant at
the west end of Lucknow
may have changed hands
but the menu remains the
same - great, home
cooked meals just like
mom makes.!
Mary's Family
Restaurant, formerly
Country Citchen, is now
owned by Mary and Russ
Mackie, who took over
from MaryLou and Doug
Raynard on Oct. 28.
Mary's no stranger to
the restaurant business as
she was employed for
seven years at the
Mayfair. Most recently
she worked at Pinecrest
Manor as a health care
aid.
The twosome decided
it was time to be their
own .bosses and so they
embarked upon this new
venture which'they are
finding challenging and
rewarding
The transition period
went very smoothly with
the Raynards helping the
Mackies all along the
way. Add to that help
from your family and the
fantastic response from
the public, you've got a
winning situation, Mary
said.
Russ said, "I'm having

how to do dishes very
well, says Mary.
Some of the former
staff are still with the

Compile case studies
for health council
by Pat Halpin
A month after raising concerns about
the effect hospital restructuring would
have on students, the Bruce county
board of education wants to get down
to specifics.
Last month, trustees said the Grey -
Bruce District health Council health
care steering committee neglected the
impact hospital restructuring would
have on the 10,000 students in. the
Bruce board's 30 schools. Trustees also
complained that they .had not been sup-
plied with copies of the restructuring
committee's newsletters or interim
report.
In response, the District Health
Ccuncil sent the information, along
with assurance that the restructuring
committee is trying to "address the
needs.of all Grey -Bruce residents"
"A' specific request for comment on
our Interim Report has not been made
to any particular groups, but Council
would be pleased to add you to our
mailing list for subsequent newslet-
ters," said a letter signed by Peter
Bantock, Hospital and Health Services
Restructuring Committee Project
Manager.
Bantock said in his letter that the
board of education could have attended
any of the 33 community meetings held
in September. He noted the District
Health Council "would encourage
board trustees to work with their local
hospital Boards during this transition
period."
Board vice -Chair Frank Eagleson
wasn't satisfied with the District Health
Council's response. He said it made. no
mention of students, and noted that the
board has not received the most recent
newsletter from the DHC:
It's time for the board to be clear
about problems that would accompany
the restructuring committee's proposals
to close local hospital beds and emer-
gency departments, according to chair
Jennifer Yonssen.
"Our first letter spoke in general
terms. I think the time has now come to
cite specific areas of concern in regard
to our students," she said.
High among those concerns are stu-
dents with severe allergies and other
identified medical conditions.
"We have 1,000 students who are
well within a five to 10 minute time
period that they must have health care,"
said Director of Education Paul
Martindale. "Not just first, aid, but a full
range of services proyided at a local
Hospital.
Principals will be asked to put
together anonymous case studies of stu-
dents with "critical" health care needs.
That fist will be taken to the District
Health Council to illustrate the board's
worries about hospital restructuring.
