i i EIEN... 2- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, November 10, 1998 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" CHRIS HALL/PORT PERRY STAR JUMPING FOR HEART: More than 100 students at R.H. Cornish Public School participated in the annual Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser recently, including Krystal Currie, a 10-year-old Grade 5 stu- dent. It's for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Durham Regional Police are looking into two recent incidents they think may be related. Police say that sometime overnight between Nov. 6 and 7, thieves broke into a black 1987 Chev S-10 pickup that was parked in a municipal parking lot behind the CIBC bank on Queen St. A Caesarea couple were at a local restaurant when the truck disappeared, police say. At around 4:30 a.m., the truck was discovered by the docks at the east end of Queen St., say police. A - small quantity of money was taken during the theft. Later, around noon on Nov. 7, a man was tending ~ to a Bigels home called police after he noticed a : partial case of beer, some Canadian . © pay stubs on the lawn near the Police probe link between theft reports side of the residence. The pay stubs were made out to the Caesarea man who lost his truck earlier, say police. All material were returned to him, but a leather jacket is still missing, police add. During the same time frame, Nov. 6 to 7, Durham Police report that more than $700 in tools went missing from a green 1997 Ford pickup which was parked near the stolen vehicle, say police. More than $400 damage was done when thieves smashed a complete lock assembly off of a tool box which was left in the bed of the truck, police say. Once inside the box, thieves stole a tool pouch, var- ious tools, a cordless drill, three complete sets of screwdrivers, and other various electrician's tools. Local teacher honoured with award By Chris Hall Port Perry Star For the second time this year, Greenbank's Brian Jones has been honoured as one of the top teachers in the province. Already chosen as Durham's Educator of the Year by the Ontario Public School Teachers' Federation (OPSTF), Mr. Jones will receive another form of recog- nition this Friday night (Nov. 13) when he travels to Toronto to be named one of The Toronto Sun's 1998 Teachers of the Year. An application package was forwarded to'the news- paper by parents of students in Mr. Jones' Kindergarten class at Meadowcrest Public School in the spring earlier this year, and he was informed of his selection a short while later. "It's an incredible feeling, not only to be honoured by your community and school, but to be recognized in the province," he said last week. "Being selected as one of the top teachers in 1998 is very rewarding. Everyone has been great." While not quite sure what makes him stand out amongst his peers, Mr. Jones explains that, personally, he believes his attention to detail helps both him and his students. "I like to create comfortable conditions for learning," he said, noting that a lot of his time is spent on laying out his lesson plans. "I believe what I am doing is right and that I have to be accountable to the students, parents, adminis- tration and the general public." Mr. Jones has chosen to take a three-year leave from the Durham public school system to teach in York University's Faculty of Education department at the Durham Campus. "I'm loving it there. I'm teaching 85 students who are quite keen and are looking forward to becoming qualified teachers," he said. "They're very different from three, four, and five-year-olds. "Here, I can share my beliefs about teaching, I can help others and that is extremely rewarding."
