A4 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER JO Wednesday December 15, 1999 C a th o lic S ch o o l B oard says i t 's Y2K ready Years Eve just in case. A report presented by staff at the regular Tuesday night board meeting indicated that almost all of the foreseeable problems sur rounding Y2K have been addressed. The biggest concerns are the embedded systems within the school plants as it is impossible to locate and identify them all. Embedded systems are small date sensitive computer chips that are located throughout a system and could cause things like the heat ing to switch off, alarms to mal function or cars not to start. "We have had confirmation from most of our suppliers that most of the technology we have in place is Y2K compliant," said Joseph Birett, Superintendent of Business Services and Treasurer. "But just to make certain there will be people on duty to ensure we don't lose heat and power to our systems." Birett said that for the last year they have been running extensive checks on the equipment and computers. Any problems have been rectified and older technolo gy replaced wherever possible with Y2K ready machines. Provisions have also been made to manually flip any remaining machines that are not Y2K ready. In any event, Giacomo Corbacio, Superintendent of Planning, said there will be a check of all buildings on January 1, 2000, to make sure the heating systems are working and the security systems are functioning. Corbacio feels confident that should anything go wrong it will be fixed quickly with minimum impact on the school community.

Effective December 15, 1999, the firm o f O 'Connor MacLeod has become a limited liability partnership, as permitted by amendments to the Partnerships Act and the Law Society Act. The firm is now known as O 'Connor MacLeod LLP As the name suggests, the partnership carries on the practice o f law with a degree o f limited liability. The partners in a limited liability partnership are not personally liable for the negligent acts o f another partner or an employee who is direcdy supervised by another partner. Each partner is personally liable for his or her own actions and for the actions o f those he or she directly super vises and controls. The partnership continues to be liable for the negligence o f its partners, associates and employees, and accordingly there is no reducjion or limitation on the liability of the partnership. All o f the firm's assets remain at risk. Liability insurance protection for the members o f the partnership continues, and minimum insur ance requirements, as required by the Partnerships Act, have been established for LLPs by the Law Society. The Law Society has determined that the liability insurance coverage for an LLP is that maintained individually by the partners. In addition to the minimum liability insurance required by the Law Society, O 'Connor MacLeod LLP maintains substantial additional insurance coverage. LONG-TERM PARKING Day long parking is available in lots 5 , 7 , 8 & 1 1 B. In addition there are long-term m eters along W ater, Robinson and Douglas Streets. FREE PARKING is available in all Municipal Lots and at street meters daily after 6:00 p.m., Sundays and holidays.
