Won't bus students to Hensall
BY JEFF SEDDON
.The Huron county
board of education stuck
to its guns Monday and
refused to bus elemen-
tary school students to
school in Hensall if the
village annexes the part
of Hay township the
students live in. •
The board's refusal to
budge from its policy of
buss-ing-students-in urban
areas to school could play
an integral role in
Hensall's bid to annex
part of Hay township on
the village border.
The board was asked to
consider continuing
bussing the students after
the annexation is com-
plete. The request from
the councils of Hensall
and Hay township was
that students living on
Highway 4 on the fringe
of the village continue to
be- bussed to school until
safe walkways to school
can be constructed.
The"te'mporary bussing
is designed to ensure the
safety of school children
living in the area to- be
annexed. The highway
has an 80 kilometer per
hour speed limit posted in
front of the childrens
homes and there are no
sidewalks or street lights
for the children to use
walking to and from
school.
The township and town
hoped that the board's
temporary bussing would
remove any hazards to

that pressure and gav
parents what they wante
the trustees should mak
it clear to the parents th
board should "not receiv
any nasty letters a
budget time".
He told the board th
policy was not an un
weildy thing to work with
He said it would en
courage school principal
and teachers to wor
together and "be in
novative" wit
timed
tabling. ' He -. added
that if a student real]
wanted to take a specifi
course they may have t
get to another school t
get it.
"We (the board) can'
tie up a teacher for a yea
for three or four student
it's just too costly," sai
Cochrane.
He also warned th
board that there wer
some pitfalls in the ne
policy. He said smal
Grade 13 classes may b
eliminated, students wit
be reluctant to travel t
other schools. the
"smorgasbord" o
courses offered will have
to be drastically reduced,
board members will be
subjected to local
pressures if classes in
"their school" . are cur-
tailed or eliminated and a
viable Grade 13 program
may well mean changes
in transportation policy
and philosophy.
"It doesn't take too
much imagination to
realize that some Grade
13 courses and even some
classes will be wiped out
altogether," warned
Cochrane. But he added
the policy is the first step
ttl'ward handling
problems of declining
enrolment and it "has to
be taken".

the children until
sidewalks and\ street
lighting is constructed in
the area.
The board policy
clearly states that no
children in urban areas in
the county will travel to
school on county owned
or operated busses.
Exeter trustee
Clarence MacDonald told
the board the bus stops in
the area and picks up
childrenfrom the homes
in the area to be annexed
as well as children from a
farm across the road. He
said even if the an-
nexation goes- through
and the children not
picked up on the bus the
bus will continue to stop
in the same place to pick
up children from the
farm.
MacDonald said
parents of the children
involved may be able to
continue putting their
children on the bus if they
work ollt an arrangement
with the bus driver. He
said the driver would pick
up the children as usual
except the service would
be paid?for daily by the
parents.
Zurich trustee Herb
Turkheim told the board
the annexation and
bussing problem had
been "hanging fire for
quite a few months". He
said "we're (the board)
being used as pawns
between two sides".
Turkheim said one
group was in favor of
annexation and another
opposed and the board's
support was being sought
by both sides.
He warned that if the
board made any ex-
ceptions to its bussing
policy it could be creating
problems for the future.
He said towns like
Goderich and Exeter
would probably be ex-
panding in the future and
similar requests would be
coming from both areas.
He asked trustees how
the board could refuse
bussing then if it gave it
now.
He recommended that
the board either stick to
its present policy or
change the policy to allow
for situations like in
Hensall.

DO IT ALL FOR YOU!
How did we do it? By combining a sophisticated
humidity sensor with complex microprocessor dr-.
cuitry, that .calculates power and time settings
based on the time it first takes steam to be emitted
by different foods as they cook. All you do is place.
the frozen food in the oven (be sure to cover it as
directed in the recipe book), tap out the ap-
propriate Auto program (one through six) on the
"Cook" or .the "Def -Cook" pad, tap "Start" and let
the Genuis 11 take over! There's no need to set
power or time when you cook with the Genius It's
Auto Sensor. And it's versatile and easier to use
than a temperature probe!
