The' Huron County board of education will
not deviate from its transportation routes for
one little five-year-old girl, even though that
girl's mother may pull her from school.
What was to be Tabatha Thompson's first
day in the kindergarten program at Hullett
Central Public School turned out to be a
morning spent at home and an afternoon
spent at the school board office in Clinton.
Tabatha's mother, Christine, with a
four -month-old baby in her arms, Tabatha
and another child showed up at the first
school board meeting of the 1985-86 school
year.
I want to lay a complaint," Mrs.
Thompson of RR 1, Londesboro started out
when she faced the trustees and school board
administration,
Barely able to control tears, the young
mother said she had to look after her father
who is confined to a wheelchair and is unable
to accompany her daughter to the bus stop.
She estimated the bus stop is about 60 rods
from the end of the Thompson laneway, but
not visible from her home.
"I'd like the board to make an exception. If
they cannot make an exception my daughter
will not be attending school," she said.
Exeter trustee Clarence McDonald asked
that transportation manager R.L. Cunning-
ham look at Mrs. Thompson's request "with
a little bit of compassion." .
However, an in -camera session at the
conclusion of the school board's regular
meeting resulted in a motion being passed
giving no special consideration for the
Thompson child.
"If we give into one, there will be more
than one later," said school board chairman
Eugene Frayne.
He added kindergarten is not mandatory
and if Mrs. Thompson wants to pull her child
out of school she can.
The chairman said the transportation
manager had been out to the Thompson home
after the mother's initial complaint. Accord-
ing to his measurements, the Thompson
gateway is one-eighth of a mile from the bus
stop.
The Thompson laneway leads out onto
County Road 8 in Hullett Township. The bus
stops at the intersection of County Road 8 and
Concession 10.
Trustee Tony McQuail said the only other
alternatives are to either turn around in the
Thompson laneway, an alternative consider-
ed too dangerous, or continue down the
county road to the next intersection The
second idea would take the bus out of its way
by about three miles.
Mr. McQuail said there was some
discussion of an old laneway from the
Thompson home that has direct access to
concession 10.
Mrs. Thompson said if her child could not
be accommodated on the bus route, she
would want the school board to write to the
ministry of education to obtain an individual
home learning program for her daughter
"I'm not so worried for now," said Mt's.
Thompson, "but when the snowbanks are six
feet deep."

HOW TO HELP
THE WIDOWS?
Widows widowers and droorcecl penpl"
hate to he grouped or lumped
together at social events 411 too often a
hostess will invite a newly widowed
person and then bring in three or four
more widows to keep her company
This is lust what they don't want'
Widows find themselves considered a
'separate clan" and they feel isolated in
spite of themselves Most widows and
widowers struggle to get hack in the
mainstream and they want to eminy the
company of married couples and of other
single persons not necessarily in their
same widowed situation
As a host or hostess. you should try to
find social activities which are not always
couple -oriented Try to arrange group
action and group soctalving Widows
(and widowers) become all too self -con•
scious and afraid of being 'fifth
wheels " It becomes easy for them to
retreat into shells of loneliness ,The time
to prevent this is in the early stage of
widowhood
