Proposed liquor
legislation could
hurt restaurants
From Page 1
restaurants could be
deadly.
She worries that if "four
people come into the
restaurant and they all
bring wine. What if they
drink it all themselves'?
Who's responsible? Who
would keep track of that?"
Ellis also worries that
what may appear to be
wine in a bottle may be
liquor.
"They could bring a
bottle in that is from a
distributor and have the
top on it. So that means
we'd have to check closely
that the top or seal is not
broken. That's just more
work for us."
The program would be
voluntary and only for
participating licensed
restaurants. The Lager
House would "definitely
not" be participating in the
program according to Ellis.
Participating restaurants
would be free to charge a
"corkage" or service fee.
The government also
proposed legislation that
would allow customers to
take a bottle of wine they
purchased home from the
restaurant.
According to a
government press release,
the Take Home the Rest
program would "encourage
the responsible
consumption of liquor,
since patrons would no
longer be compelled to
choose between finishing a
bottle of wine, which may
lead to over -consumption,
or leaving it behind."
Ellis also worries that if
a customer were to take the
bottle home that they may
drink it on the way home.
"If they were to buy a
bottle of wine at our
establishment and take it
home I would say that's
fine. I would think that's
fine except the government
would have to pass a law
to allow liquor to leave our
establishment," said Ellis.

Relay honours cancer' survivors' struggle
From Page 1
The first lap,of the relay
called the Survivors' Victory
Lap is for cancer survivors.
It celebrates their courage in
the struggle with the disease.
Lee said each year the
Victory Lap gets easier but
it's still emotional.
"This year it was kind of
emotional, but last year it
was really emotional. I was
just (thinking) 'I can't
believe I survived,— she
said.
The most amazing part of
the relay for Lee occurs
when they start to light the
candles at 10 p.m. for
survivors and in memory of
those who died of cancer.
"It's just an amazing night
and I think that everyone
should take the opportunity
to just witness it and be
there," said Lee.
Last year, Lee was not able
to participate for the full 12
hours of the relay because
her body was not fully
recovered, just four months
after finishing her treatment.
This year, she took part in
the full 12 hours of the relay.
Lee knows first hand that
cancer can affect the ones
you love as her father-in-law,
Chris, battled colon cancer.
"Cancer touches everyone
around us. There's not one
person that you can stop and
talk to that hasn't known
someone who has had cancer
or has cancer," said Lee.
Seaforth considers consolidating continuing care
From Page 1
"It's a bit of a redistribution
of service," she says.
"The senior team. has been
doing a lot of 2004-05 budget
planning scenarios to contend
with the $4.7 million deficit
and this is one of the scenarios
being offered," she says.
While Seaforth has 34 beds,
11 of which are continuing
care beds, Cardinal says the
redistribution plan will
continue to offer several acute
care beds to back up Seaforth's
24-hour emergency ward.
Cardinal would not say if
the plan involves moving beds
from one hospital to another.
"A reallocation of services
is a better way of looking at it.
But, if you required a
continuing care bed, you'd be
at Seaforth the same way that
if you were having a baby,
you'd go to Clinton or
Stratford," she says.
While the idea of creating
centres of excellence was
broached under the former
eight -hospital Huron -Perth
Hospital Partnership, Cardinal
says the idea "never got far
enough to say Seaforth was the
site" for continuing care.
However, the idea has
received some protest at
community forums in
Stratford lately.
Former hospital board
member Colleen Misener had
some emphatic advice for
Alliance CEO Andrew
Williams about the idea of
consolidating rehabilitation
services exclusively to St.
Marys Hospital.
She said such a move would
be a profound mistake.
She said these services are
often used by senior citizens,
many of whom are dependent
on public transportation or
their families to get them to
the hospital and it would be
extremely difficult for many
seniors to get to St. Marys for
rehabilitation services.
"r'm glad it's not a fait
accompli," she admonished,
referring to the fact no final
decision has been made.
