The town will try to attain the prestigious ISO 9001 stan- dard for quality assurance by next June, launching its drive to that lofty goal last week. 11 Ajax is successful in eaming the ISO rating - a standard for quality improve- ment developed in Switzerland and recognized around the world - it will be ISO rating in the STAR$ for A jax the first municipality in Ontario (and one of the first on the continent) to do so. The campaign kicked off September 16 but the drive for quality and efficiency really started wide the introduction of the town's highly success- ful STAR$ program. intro- duced by dynamic CAO Barry Malmsten soon after his arrival in Ajax in early 1994. Linda Cork, chosen to champion the program on its inception, says the drive for ISO rating is just an extension of STAR$ a campaign that has already saved the town more than $ l.6 million and boosted employee morale. "It really is pan of STAR$, because, basically, what we're looking for is consistent ser- vice delivery, in the most cost- efficient manner," she explains. "The goal is continu- ing improvement; to keep costs and taxes down and to find predictable and better ser- vice yields." While Ajax is hoping to be Ontario's first ISO -recognized municipality, businesses in town have been reaching that apex in customer service for years. Cork says the town's research team has spoken to officials at ISO -registered companies in Ajax, such as Jet Composites. Dupont, AEG, Fasson. Dominion Color and Morton Chemicals, for input.

Durham board says no truth to closure rumors by Glenn Hendry Durham Board of Education officials, still basking in accolades after being named the best education system in the world by Germany's Carl Bertelsmann Foundation, are trying to diffuse a report that they're planning on closing seven elementary schools for sag- ging enrollment. .Board public relations director Mary Brown admits the report has alarmed many parents, but points out there is "absolutely" no truth to the rumor. "We're not closing those schools. That is not the case. Absolutely not." The report, first released in the spring, names Valleyview Public School in Pickering And South Simcoe Public School in Oshawa. The latter school, ironically, was visited by foundation judges and recognized for its community involvement. Brown says the confusion canes from board policy that requires schools that don't meet certain enrollment requirements to be plated on a list for possible closure. Trust= however, didn't like the policy And rescinded it in the spring, electing to set up an ad hoc committee to design a new pol- icy. - - That committee met for the first time two weeks ago, sparking more confusion from parents and other community members, an exasperated Brown says.

Pickering paranoia continues to fester It doesn't seem to matter how much we try to avoid drawing comparisons between Ajax and Pickering: the saga continues to be a tale of two cities. Last week pre- sented yet another example of the vast differences in the way these two councils operate. We have often vented our annoyance about Pickcring's obsession with closed -doors. In -camera meetings have become so much a way of life with this group that it's a wonder they bother to hold public meetings at all. When does the paranoia stop? In this past year, seldom has a Pickering council meeting ended with councillors being able to go home and relax: each open session has been followed by yet another secret meeting, purposely designed to prevent the public and the media from knowing what is really going on in the Town of Pickering. But wait, it gets worse! For extra insurance, to be certain that no one blabs outside of council, Maurice Brenner is currently in the process of pushing through a "loose lips" policy; one that would make it punishable by law for any council- lor to speak publicly about anything discussed at an in - camera meeting. Even worse! If the rumors we hear are true, this council now intends to outfox the media and the public in yet another way. Obviously upset by the fact that we were able to gain access to the minutes of these secret meet- ings through the Freedom of Information Act, council is now considering the use of reports to limit what information will show up in an in -camera meeting's minutes. By putting every issue in report form and having councillors adopt each one, future minutes will read that councillors "adopted the report" and discussions will remain hidden from the media, from taxpayers and from everyone else who has a right to know exact- ly what it is that is going on behind the closed doors. What a breach of public trust! By contrast, Ajax council has been duking it out / with Rogers Cable. Accustomed to having the TV cameras at their meetings every Monday night (with a replay later in the week), councillors are annoyed the cable giant has announced that it is "bringing Ajax into line" with its practices in other communities. Only council meetings will be covered in future; committee - of -the -whole meetings will not. Carried live and taped on the Monday night of the meeting, the program will be replayed once - the following Monday night - in the time slot usually reserved for live broadcast of the committee -of -the -whole. Hey Pickering, get this: Ajax council wants the pub- lic to know what's going on. These elected officials are willing to acknowledge that their taxpayers have a right to know. Well done Ajax! In Pickering, council paranoia continues to fester to such a degree that with each additional secret act, it buries itself even deeper into a hole of public mistrust. As we've said so often in this past year, a council with nothing to hide would have no fear of public scrutiny. Open the doors, Pickering! Late4u ik E4u4 The "Original Bay Watch" thanks council To the Editor, A long overdue note of thanks to the Pickering council in finally acting to remove the dredge "Primrose" from Frenchman's Bay. Special thanks to our ward 2 councillor Sherry Senis for all her hard work and persistence. Perhaps it was her real estate experience that led the town to include the dredge's removal, as a condition of their offer to purchase the bankrupt marina. Sherry promised, if elected, she would fight for its removal and persuaded council now was the time to deal with it. Even though the dredge was obviously infringing on many of the residents' basic 'property rights,' the town had previously done nothing maintaining it was a "grey area" of the law. Instead of trying to help the residents stop the noisy parties, some councillors were attending them. How nice to now live our view of the bay and lake back that we paid for and watch as others pass by and marvel at it since the departure of the dredge. How nice the town is attempting to purchase this property for a park for all to enjoy. Good riddance to the "Primrose" and its noisy parties (finally stopped by the I..,L.B.O.) and everything it may have become. lAkkome back spectacular sunsets over the water we've not seen for 8 years.

Fans of other forms of outdoor recreation may want to celebrate as well, after Ajax Council approved, in principle, a concept plan for the development of a major sportsplex in north Ajax. The sportsplex, to be build on 100 acres of land south-east of Taunton and Audley .Roads, will address the current and future shortage of base- ball and soccer facilities in the area, says Parks and Recreation director Tom Flood, who added that the shortage has curtailed the growth of what would otherwise be a rapidly expanding local sports scene. Flood points out that Ajax's baseball organiza- tions alone have waiting lists of 400 potential par- ticipants, not including other residents who have turned out to town venues to play ball. The new facilities, he claims, would definitely be used. Not only baseball lovers will benefit. The site is currently designed to be multifaceted and flexible, boasting picnic lawns, a man-made lake, courts for basketball, a major building that could house a hockey arena, and a network of trails, both gravel and asphalt, con- necting the facilities. Don't wax those cross- country skis just yet, however, the sportsplex is still in the very early plan- ning stages. Basic details, such as its pro- jected cost and starting date for construction, are at least months away from being made public by the sportsplex commit- tee, let alone approved by Council. Funding for the project is to come from both pub- lic and private sectors. Council's standing com- mittee -of -the -whole has authorized a public pri- vate partnership commit- tee to obtain the services of a consulting firm (fee not to exceed $25,000) to advise it on the best possi- ble financial relationship between the two sectors. The interim plan for the sportsplex also included the transformation of part of Ajax Community Centre land into a "soccer centre." Councillors balked at this proposal, though, fearing that the increased cost associated with such a transforma- tion would either scare away investors or make the town too dependent on private funding. "These days, mega -pro- jects are doomed," declares councillor Joe Atkinson, adding that even if Ajax received funding for both sites, "free money from the pri- Conservation Happenings Ms. Carmen Ellyson Board Operations Officer Marsh monitoring brings favourite summer moment ith summer understanding of these Coot.

A portion of athletes from the Ajax/Pickering area contribute to that success. On every varsity team you will find at least one contributor to the squad. On the men's varsity baseball team, Ajacian Tim Puddister is entering his second year «ith the squad and compiled four wins last season with an earned run average under two. The pitcher / outfielder recently collected four hits and drove in a run in a 13-11 victory over the Queen's Golden Gaels. Puddister, a former Ajax High School student is now ,joined with rookie Brian Vickers, a graduate of I)unbarton High School. Two Lady Lords from last season's softball team, Janice Gordon and Kelly Green, both former Dunbarton High School students, will now be joined by ex -Spartans Laura Edelhofer, Jessica Allen and Pickering High School grad Tasha Gardiner. But the two Pickering athletes who are certain to make some noise on the playing field and court are Caroline Acome and Chantell Marsh. Marsh was a standout point guard for the Pine Ridge Pumas High School girls basketball team and was the key player in that team's successful Lake Ontario Secondary School championship win. This being her rookie year with the Lady Lords Ajax -Pickering contingent shining for Varsity teams hoop team, she will not have so much pressure placed upon her shoulders to carry the team. The team shows great potential for the first time in school history. With the additions of two-time Ontario Colleges Athletic Association scoring leader Julie Goedhuis, and Marcy Scribe (arguably the best women's collegiate basketball player in the province) it is a good opportunity for Marsh to get her feet wet in her rookie year. "I'm pretty excited," says Marsh about having the opportunity to play with two of the best players in the league. "When those two were added to the team it made me think I made an excellent decision coming here. "I came here because they offered a program that I was looking for (Sports Administration). Now I know I made the right choice." Tired of having the burden placed upon her to lead her high school team to victory after victory, Marsh is glad there will be two other players who will do the majority of the scoring. There is no doubt she will be a key to the team, but until she steps on the court against some stiff competition, Marsh is still a little skeptical. "I hope I can fit in at the college level," says Marsh. "I hope IT be able to make things happen for Julie and Marcy and the rest of the team." . As for being a part of a championship team, Marsh said they will just take it one game at a time. She doesn't just want to succeed on the court, but in the classroom, too. "I hope I maintain a high GPA," says Marsh. "And as far as basketball goes, I hope I can become an asset to the team." One player who has already had made an impact on the Durham Lady Lords' soccer team is Caroline Acome. Acome is a threat to score in every game she plays; and with the exception of two games this season. she has.A rookie striker who graduated from Dunbarton High School, the blonde striker spent a half semester on a scholarship at California University of Pennsylvania before she went to Durham College. Nothing went right from day one at the Pennsylvania school for the 23 year-old soccer player. "I witnessed a shooting my first day of school," recalls Acome. "My tires were slashed and there were reported rapes every other week." Then, after problems with her social insurance number, she was unable to register for her classes and decided enough was enough. A year removed from the Pennsylvania debacle, Acome wanted to find a school to continue her education. She chose Durham College for a number of reasons. "It was close to home, I had friends here and Susan (her older sister) was going here. And it was about time I headed back to school," says Acome. Her sister has just re,_ently decided to attend another ,��11:_;. but the younger sister will continue her schooling at Durham where she is studying Early Childhood Education. She has played all her soccer for Pickering and last season played with Pickering United Women's Open club. Now, aiming for goals in the classroom, she is also targeting goals on the playing field. "I'd like to be one of the main contributors to the team on the field and off the field," says Acome. "One of my main problems is that I'm a little lippy. I tell people what they're doing wrong, but I also tell them they're doing good as well. "I'd like to win the OCAA (gold medal) and get some recognition for myself. If the school has a Rookie of the Year award, I'd like to win that. I don't know if that's possible." It's possible. She has already shown she is a vital part of the team and is already a strong candidate. Joining Acome on the team is her Pickering United teammate and former Dunbarton student Tara Stedman -Smith. The two ex -Spartans are joined by former Ajax High School student Catherine Henderson, Denis O'Connor grad Lynsey McCulloch and St. Mary graduate Kristi Micheal. All five are rookies to the Lady Lords. This is just the beginning of the flood of Ajax/Pickering athletes at Durham College. The winter season is just around the corner and more athletes should come out of the woodwork. ..,mow.;.. .. .... ... ..:... <,.:.— t:?re?.rsa:a'o!Ism:'e,. r.✓,.:Jnr...:.rtgmn:aro�+a^�ry.�a..ra:�c+x>.q'G*�-?. a.•^wz.>;: r�m� __ ._. .. .,..: � Via"-`?�?�r ......!a."�',.t;^t•i�,td"a��•,if5v'=t+r2vX w..-,.....,,. .... ... q High School Schedule WED.

BETTER HOMES & BUILDERS Insurance by M.H.Parnu All of us know the importance of having insurance to protect us in case the worst happens. But once we've bought home coverage, we often assume that we're covered for everything in our home and anything that may happen to us. Here are some of the most common myths that people have about their insurance coverage: Myth #1 Anything that is considered an "act of ('sod" is not covered under your insurance policy. Contrary to popular belief, many "acts of God" are covered under most home policies, such as hail, tornado, lighting, blizzard, excessive heat, hurricane, storm, fog, freezing rain, extreme cold, and landslide. Myth #2 If you have to make an insurance claim, the insurance company is obligated to provide you with the amount for the replacement cost value of whatever was damaged. It all depends on what coverages you purchased with your policy. If you have "Replacement Cost" then the claims settlement will be based on the cost to repair or replace the item at today's prices. If you have "Actual Cash Value" on your policy, then the claims settlement will be based on the value of the item today, including depreciation. "Let's say you bought a TV 10 years ago for $500 and needed to make a claim on it," says Dolores Vokey, a home insurance expert with The Co-operators. "If you have Replacement Cost, and the item can't be repaired, then your TV would be replaced with a new one of comparable kind and quality. If you have Actual Cash Value on your home policy, you would receive the actual value of it today including the depreciation, which won't be much." Myth #3 If I'm renting an apartment or condominium, I don't need to have any tenant insurance because if there is a fire or burglary, the landlord will be responsible. Your landlord may have insurance but it only covers the building itself, hallways, etc. It won't protect you if you have a loss (such as fire or burglary in your apartment) or if you are responsible for injuries or damage to the building. As a tenant, you should have a policy for your personal property and liability. Myth #4 You've returned home from a week's vacation in the winter to discover that your water pipes have frozen and burst. You didn't have anyone checking your house while you were gone but you're sure your insurance will cover the damage. Not necessarily. Most home policies state that if you are leaving your home for more than four days, you must have someone check your house daily or you need to shut off the water supply and drain all the pipes. Your insurer does not have to pay for any damage to your frozen pipes if you do not take these precautions. Myth #5 Once I have an an all risk home insurance policy, then everything in my home is completely covered against all types of pergs. While your home policy will cover a lot, there are a number of items which may not be included automatically or may have only limited coverage in most policies. Some optional coverages that can usually be purchased are: MORTGAGES & LOANS •1st & 2nd *Lines of credit *BEST RATES Frank Callahan 686-6450 24 Hours Upper Canada Funding Inc. -sewer back-up -golf carts -TV antennas or satellite dishes -earthquake damage -business equipment -bicycles Most home policies have a limit that they insure jewellery up to, so it's best to check what limit your policy has. If the value of your appraised jewellery is above that amount, you can purchase additional coverage to provide complete protection. Other valuable items, like furs, fine art, and stamp and coin collections, also have limits and may need additional coverage. Having a yearly review of your home insurance, with your Agent, will ensure that your home and valuables are properly protected. DID YOU KNOW> Canada is near the top of the list of nations in the percentage of national income spent on socially - desirable endeavours such as health care and education. In fact, more money is spent on learning in this country than anywhere but Finland and Switzerland. It says something about social mobility in Canada that it has the highest percentage of post- secondary graduates of all industrial countries. Having begun its life as a nation 129 years ago with little industry or capital of its own, Canada has grown into the world's seventh largest economy. With close to 30 million inhabitants, Canada is the world's 29th most populous country, a little smaller than Colombia and a little larger than Morocco. Yet it is in an elite economic league with the historical giants of Europe that have twice its population, at least. Carpentry Ltd. Contracting Bat. 1979 Complete home 3 office remodelling.

The tradition continues at The Original Bay News In September of 1995 local businessmen Dave Demerino and Kip Van Kempen brought The Bay News back from the ashes, with a promise to residents that they would "tune into the community, and give them what they want." It's been one year on now, and the owners of the 26 year-old community paper, now called The Original Bay News, hope the residents of Pickering and Ajax believe they have kept that promise. What The Original Bay News has tried to do over the past year is carry on a tradition - albeit at a higher level - that began in 1960. That was when The Bay News was founded. Originally a newsletter aimed at keeping residents in the new Bay Ridges subdivision informed of local happenings, the newspaper - the dream of insurance broker Alex Robertson - developed into a full-blown newspaper in 1966. Robertson, who was later joined by his brother George, ran the paper until 1988, when they sold to Chere Bunting (who had joined the paper as an advertising representative 18 years before) and her Husband, John McCormick. The McCormicks kept up the editorial traditions of the paper - it has always concentrated on local issues important to our residents - and eventually increased the circulation to 35,000 readers. In October, 1994, the newspaper was sold to lawyer/journalist Jim Middlemiss. Unfortunately for Middlemiss, his grand ideas for the paper weren't matched by his pocketbook and The Bay News folded eight months later. The newspaper lay dormant only three months, however, before Demerino - the owner of Treco Real Estate in Pickering - and Van Kempen, a local insurance company owner and former Pickering regional councillor - picked up the ball. "I don't think one paper, no matter how good or bad, should dominate an area. We need to hear more than one opinion," Demerino said last year. "It's important that we have a community newspaper providing community reporting," added Van Kempen. Giving new life to The Original Bay News - literally from scratch - hasn't been an easy task, but with a dedicated effort from a team (many of whom are former employees of The Bay News) the paper has thrived. With a circulation topping 43,500, the paper is one of the largest independently -owned weekly community newspapers in Ontario. "I have always felt that it's nice to be part of an accomplishment; to take something and change it," said Demerino. "I always liked The Bay News - it was the only paper that really did any reporting locally and focused on the community - but I always felt it needed something that maybe I could provide." The tradition, started 36 years ago, continues. ! r Letter to our Readers ,-Waving now completed our first year in the newspaper business, we have to admit, we are still occasionally surprised when someone accuses The Original Bay News of being negative, biased or unfair. The reason we decided to start our own newspaper was because we believed that the communities of Ajax and Pickering deserved an alternate voice, one whose policies and reporting wasn't guided by forces in downtown Toronto. That we, our friends, and taxpayers, had a right to know what was really happening; to hear the news that matters; to hear the story behind the story and to read the truth. Most say The Original Bay News should be proud of the approach it takes in the type of reporting it does, regardless of the fact it is unusual for a weekly to report this type of news. As someone, more experienced, pointed out, we don't chase ambulances or fire trucks; we seldom report the latest hold-up; our pages do not carry photos of accidents or carnage or death; we restrict ourselves to the news that we feel matters most to our community. The rest is best left to the dailies. We pride ourselves on telling the truth and we have taken great care to ensure that our investigative reporting can stand up to scrutiny by any member of the community we serve. Call us negative? We don't think so. We just received a letter telling us that the writer would rather see us print things that put a smile on people's faces rather than printing lead stories that are negative. From the beginning we determined that our newspaper must act as the conscience for the community; that we would take a stand in favour of our readers. That decision hasn't always made us popular with some of our town councillors, but at the least we have remained true to our goals. In the past year we have written far more good news than bad; our photography has sparkled; our cartoons have been funny. We may have been guilty of printing some of the dark truths of life, but we have also tried to celebrate all that is good and right and beautiful about the communities we serve and live in. Having just reviewed the last 52 issues published at the Original Bay News, we want to thank these personalities and organizations for their co-operation and support in producing memorable lead stones: Barry Malmsten - CAO, Town of Ajax, Doug McKay - McDonald's franchise owner and strong community supporter, Esme & Elly Gotz - Toronto School of Business, Ken Shaw - CFT'O, Tartan Dan - AM640 radio personality, Anne Walker - singer song writer, Dr. Murray Speirs - Conservationist, Joe Atkinson - Ajax politician, Pauline Laing - Durham Board of Education, Bill Hutchinson - Television personality and charity spokesperson, Barry Holmes - Publisher Home Digest, Roland Rutland - Social activist, Robert Simmonds - Cleamet president, Wendy Wu - and the Buddhist community, Jim Witty - Regional Chairman, Santa Claus - World Wide Good Guy, Thelma Bamber - Good Samaritan, Bobby Baun - Tim Horton's franchise owner and strong community supporter, Sarah McDonald - Educational Guardian of Unity, Nancy Maxwell - Ajax Pickering Hospital Foundation, John Boddy - Builder, developer and community supporter, Dan McTeague - MR Pine Ridge Secondary School - Theatre Production/The Arts, Pickering Museum Village, Horst Hornung - Environmentalist, Durham Economic Development Department, Canada Day Celebrations, Ajax Pickering Athletes who went to Atlanta, The Honourable Janet Ecker - Minister of Social Services, Joe Grayson - Tireless land fill opponent, Ajax LACAC - Duffrns Creek Historical perspective, MTRCA - Waterfront Trail Development, Jewel of the GTA, Aids - James House of Durham, Durham College - becoming a University. Five issues dealt with vandalism, historical deterioration, amalgamation & land fills. All in all, 42 out of our fust 52 issues informed, raised interest and brought smiles to the faces of our community. We will endeavor to do the same in the next 5200. nso- e0loam Phone 837-1888 i."Classifieds 837-2900 ,Fax 837-0260 1400 Bayly Street, Unit 6A, Pickering,Ontario L1 W 3R2 .,(Behind Winchester Arms) 10 a 01 LK N 4 N z A O 0 C% MOO a �6 n L -if estyle A R T S A C T I V E ;L 1 V 1 N G L E I S U R E F U N 0 Ronald J.
