The college hired 68 as part of community college teacher's collective agreement easing workload requirements. The remainder were hired to teach in new and expanding programs. '""This is no comparison to last year when we hired 12 or 15 teachers," said director of human resources, Don Sinclair. ¥ Teachers were hired in all divisions ... applied arts, business, health, industrial skills and technology. | The college needed teachers for its new three-year retail management | program which started this fall. Expanding programs include the food and i beverage management program; early childhood education, which is enter- ing its second year; and the sports administration program, which now has an optional third year. by Harold S. Sobel There are various reasons why your teeth may be discoloured, but in many cases a recent procedure called 'Bonding' can be the solu- tion. Since bonding is usually for aesthetic reasons it is mainly done on front teeth. Permanent teeth may appear light grey to dark brown if the an- tibiotic tetracycline was taken dur- ing pregnancy or early childhood. When the fluoride concentration is too high in drinking water dark brown stains may occur. A high fever in childhood during formation Bonding can often be finished in one appointment. It is virtually painless because it no nee- dle or drilling. After the tooth is cleaned, the dentist applies a condi- _ tioner to roughen the enamel. The soft plastic material used in bonding is selected to match the colour of surrounding teeth. The dentist ap- plies the material to the prepared tooth, shapes it with an instrument and hardens it with an electric white light. There is no trimming to do and best results occur when more than one tooth is bonded. This procedure can also be used to eliminate or close spaces between front teeth. Many people find bon- ding a less expensive alternative to caps and crowns.

NEWCASTLE Newcastle town council has sent a letter to' Prime Minister Brian 'Mulroney asking him to immediately stop Eldorado Resources Ltd.'s , search for a radioactive waste dump site in Durham Region. - Marie Hubbard, a Newcastle Regional councillor and chairman of the | region's planning committee, said the town is united in its fight against i Eldorado. i She also confided the issue will be discussed at a major joint meeting between the town and the region on September 17. Eldorado is presently considering three prospective sites. One, a half mile from Tyrone, a second near Starkville, just west of the Durham- i Northumberland border, a third, Wesleyville. The one chosen in the end would be the site for radioactive waste from the Port Hope refinery. > Hubbard said she could not reason how Eldorado could even consider the Tyrone site because of its proximity to Skinner Springs, where the town gets its water supply. It is also lush Class 1 agricultural land. "And besides, it's not as if Durham is the one who is creating the waste, why should we take Port Hope's garbage," she said. . Hubbard feels telegrams from regional and local governments could serve to embarrass Mulroney. The town is also making its feelings known by telegram to every director of Eldorado. DURHAM The 6th Annual Terry Fox Run is slated for Durham College on September 14. The run, which will be just one of some 2,000 scheduled across the country will raise funds for the Cancer Society. People can run, walk, jog or cycle around the five and 10 kilometer courses between the hours of 1 and 4 p.m., starting from the Durham Col- lege athletic complex. : Whitby Tigers Running Club will be sponsoring the event and along ! with the Oshawa Chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society, are encourag- i ing participants to bring along a friend and "double the victory." Last year, 322,500 Canadians took part and raised $3.7 million through i pledges to support Terry Fox's dream of finding a cure for the dreaded 3 Local organizers are anticipating between 200 and 400 residents from § the Oshawa/Whitby area to participate this year.

UXBRIDGE A former Uxbridge man who indecently assaulted a young girl was fined $1,000 by a district judge in Whitby last week. Judge William Lane also placed 61 year-old Morley Webb on proba- tion for 18 months and ordered him to stay away from the victims and receive any counselling deemed necessary by his probation officer. He was | given 120 days to pay the fine. A charge of sexual assault was dropped by the crown. The victim's ' name and age were prohibited from publication.

Not every business works on a Monday through Fri- day, 9-5 situation. When people accept a position, they are fools not to find out what their work- ing hours will be .. if there are any shifts, nights, weekends'etc. If they don't like the shifts or weekends, then they are just as foolish to take the. job. Just take a look around you and think how many people work on Sundays on'a regular basis ... drivers, doctors (if they are on call), taxi drivers ... and yes, even we humble. newspaper reporters. If the bleeding hearts are to have their way, should we not close down EVERYTHING, and pray there is no emergen- cy somewhere on Sunday. And what about the school students who would just love to pick up a few extra bucks to help with tuition by working on Sunday (for many the only day they are not up to their eyeballs in scholastic endeavours). 0.K., now let's get down to the | nitty-gritty. Putting politicians aside, there is one compelling economic reason for an "open"' Sunday. The latest stats in- dicate the Blue Laws may cost Metro Toronto about $500 'million a year. Metro receives nearly 17 million visitors a year, most of them from the United States, lured by the bargain-basement Canadian dollar. They stay an average of four nights each, spend $2 billion, and complain they can't shop on Sunday. Think back a little, to when the U.S. and Canadian dollars were flip-flopped. How many of you paid a weekend visit to Buf- f. lo or Rochester, particularily just pior to school starting or Christmas? And how many of you did so because you could do a little shopping on Sunday? Sure ... you all did. Does shopping really mean that Amuch? The Metro conven- tion and visitors bureau sa:' it cops, nurses, bus ° JOIN NOW for *10...

It is no wonder that polls show that 73 percent of Metro residents are in favour of Sun- day openings. Mom-and-pop stores may worry about competition forc- ing them to stay open and work - seven days a week. But surely they can determine which day is their slowest and sir it off.
