(A) Denturist WE BUILD BEAUTIFUL SMILES! Consultations are always free!! TOOTH TIDBITS I needed to take an impression of my new patient's mouth in order to have his dentures made. The material I had prepared was ready, and I placed the impression tray in his mouth. When I removed the tray, I noticed a large air bubble in a critical area. "I'm sorry", I told the patient. "I haven't made a very good first impression." "What do you mean?" he asked in surprise. "I think you are very nice."

They found in it, a pile of false teeth that had fallen into the mouths of screaming passengers. One newspaper promptly renamed the ride the "Molar Coaster."

The Halton Catholic District School Board has hired its fi rst female director of education. The appointment of Paula Daw- son to the top administrative role was announced at Tuesday's public board meeting, where she was briefl y intro- duced to trustees and senior staff. Dawson will replace current educa- tion director Michael Pautler, who an- nounced his retirement earlier this year after fi ve years with the board. Currently a superintendent of educa- tion with the Wellington Catholic Dis- trict School Board, serving Guelph and Wellington County, Dawson will assume the head administrator's position with the Halton Catholic board on Aug. 31. She becomes the board's sixth direc- tor of education. "The board is confi dent that her ex- tensive experience, commitment to ex- cellence and devotion to working with all stakeholders will provide the ongo- ing vision, caring and direction to en- sure that our Catholic schools continue to thrive and serve the needs of our students, our families and our commu- nity," said Diane Rabenda, chair of the board. Dawson is coming from a school board with just 17 elementary and four high schools, serving about 8,700 students, to oversee the Halton Catho- lic board's more than 29,000 pupils at 43 elementary and eight secondary schools. In an interview, Dawson said she doesn't see the move up to the top job at a much bigger board as an intimidating task. "It's bigger but the work is the same. It's more people to help you. It's exciting. It's not daunting be- cause I know the people in there and what they can do." As she made the remark the presi- dent of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association (OECTA) Halton elementary unit, Richard Brock, walked by and said, "It's an outstanding selec- tion," he said of Dawson. For the past 26 years Dawson has served in a variety of education roles including the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, the London District Catholic School Board, the Hal- ton Catholic District board and the Wel- lington Catholic board. She was vice-principal at St. James School (2000-01) and principal at St. John (2001-05)-- both in Oakville. She also was an education offi cer with the Ministry of Education (2005-07) and has been at the Wellington County Catholic board since. "It's nice coming back here because I still know a lot of people. A lot of the senior (administrative) team were pre- viously with me as principals," when she worked at the Halton board as a curriculum consultant in information and communication technology She describes her management style as "very collaborative. I'm open to sug- gestions. I'm not quick to judge. You have to garner trust." Dawson, 50, is single with no chil- dren and lives in Guelph. She just had a home built in the south end and said she is not that far from the board's main offi ce in Burlington. Dawson attended St. John's College in Brantford, completed her undergrad- uate degree in religious studies at Mc- Master University, her teaching degree at Brock University and obtained her master's degree in educational technol- ogy from Charles Sturt University.
