concerns
are heard...
from page 1
McQuail that bus routes are subject to '!>
changes at the start of the school year to ac-
commodate special cases, and that the
HCBE managementcommittee would look !;
at Mr. Wain's case in detail.
Board member Joan Van Den Broeck sug-
gested that the busing policy be reviewed in
its entirety to ensure that such a situation is
not happening elsewhere.
"There's no parent here that would allow
their child to walk such a busy stretch of I:.1
road (is Highway 21)".
She said that since the busing policy was
developed in 1972, significant traffic in-
creases
>`
have been evidenced along major
highways in the county.
"It's time to review the policy on busing,
particularly the farm gate pick up for early,
elementary students," she noted.
The board agreed to look into this,
however Dr. John Goddard suggested that :>
immediate action should be taken to resolve <'
the Wain case, then the policy could be`:?
reviewed at a later time.
Mr. Wain asked, • "How long will this
take."
Mr. Allan said, "As quickly as possible if
your particular case is dealt with. If the
whole policy is examined, it may take until
the next HCBE meeting in October."
Mr. Wain said he would give the board a
week to come up with a solution. After that,
he said he would go to the public to seek
their support.
"You try to teach children about road
safety at school, then you turn them out to
the bears," he told board members.
In the meantime immediate action has
been taken to provide additional bus service
to ensure that the Wain girl is delivered to
her farm gate each day after school. The
management committee will further ad-
dress the situation this week in an effort to
make more permanent routing suggestions
and to make recommendations regarding.
the busing policy as a whole.

CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1987—Page 3
Piano factory
is fighting
to stay alive ...
from page 1
allowing them to operate until September
15. Now, Mr. Ryckman is awaiting word
from the trustees as to whether or not he
should continue to seek funding or lock-up
shop.
Different avenues have been tried in an
attempt to obtain the required operating
capital. So far a $400,000 loan has been of-
fered from the Ontario Development Cor-
portation (ODC) and investor Robert Reid
has agreed to fund the building
rehabilitation,
In the past, Mr. Ryckman has been un-
successful in his dealings with the Royal
Bank, but this week said he was getting a
good response. His blocked avenue, he
says, is the federal government.
"They're doing absolutely; nothing for
me - they won't even return my calls," he
said.
MP Murray Cardiff appeared before
Clinton Council on Septebmer 8 to discuss
the piano factory situation.
Mr. Cardiff has faith in Mr. RNckman
and the piano industry, saying, "It is
always my feeling, if Paul Ryckman can
get funding, he can make the plant work."
He also told council that the issue has
gone right to the top, right to the prime
minister's office, but it is difficult to find
funding.
At the present time, Mr. Ryckman isnot
sure how long the proposed extension will
be, but he is optimistic.
"But I'm sweating," he said.
