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.

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.
