Couple says their children's safety as well as others compromised Photo by Dave Chmara Parents fighting board over cancellation of bus service By Dave Chmara Although the Lake Superior Board of Education (LSBE) has thus far refused their request, Bill and Billie Jo Keating still plan to continue their fight to have bus service for their two children reinstated. The Keatings live on Lakeshore Road, just east of Rossport Provincial Campground and, just before the start of this school year, they were notified that bus service along their road would be discontinued. Because of this move, the Keating's children, three-year-old Jonathan, who attends junior kindergarten at Schreiber Public School, and six-year-old Tiffany, who attends grade one at the same school, are now forced to walk down Lakeshore Road and along Highway 17 to catch the bus everyday. In all, Jonathan walks 13.6 km each day, Tiffany walks 6.8 km, and the parents walk 20.4 km each day.

She explained the bus stops on the part of the highway where there is a passing lane.

Along with the traffic, there is the added problems of walking along the highway: in the dark and cold. Billie Jo said the LSBE policy for providing bus service states: We shall provide safe, essential and efficient transportation to stu- dents when warranted due to one or more of the following factors - 1) distance from school 2) traffic and safety hazards 3) special physical, mental or essential needs of children.
