Drummond praised for special week

The following letter, to Mayor Marolyn Morrison, was submitted to the Citizen.

As you are aware Heritage Day 2007 was celebrated Tuesday, Feb. 20 at the Caledon Town Hall with the theme being "Early School Days in Caledon."

Sally Drummond, the Town's heritage officer along with others, was instrumental in putting together a wonderful display of history and pictures of the older school houses in the Town of Caledon which were located in the former townships of Albion, Caledon and the northern part of Chinguacousy. Her ideas of an old fashioned spelling bee, penmanship competition and a relay race brought much enjoyment to the event. Many who attended also participated in the baking contest, paper airplane throw and a raffle to raise funds for Heritage Caledon. An excellent display of artifacts including a school desk, a bell, an inkwell, a wooden pencil case, old readers and books, as well as a makeshift outhouse and much more helped to make the day interesting. Having been involved with others from Heritage Caledon in the planning and organization, we saw first-hand the dedication and enthusiasm shown by Drummond.

The Town of Caledon can be justly proud of Sally Drummond's many accomplishments and her interest in Heritage Caledon. Heritage Day was informative, educational and well received by all who attended.

Thanks to Samaritan

I was stranded on Mayfield Road at Bramalea Road in the snow storm Feb. 25. While I was waiting for the CAA tow truck to arrive, a vehicle pulled up behind me. A gentleman came to the car and asked me if I needed assistance. I explained I was waiting for the tow truck. He very kindly tried to see if he could get the car going, but could not. He then offered to stay with me until help arrived even though he was on his way home.

His name was Rob and he lives in Caledon. When the tow truck arrived, I was in such a hurry to talk to them that I completely forgot to thank him. I want him to know how much I appreciated his help. It is really wonderful to know there are people out there who will take time and trouble to help a stranded motorist.

Many, many thanks.

Working for world peace

My name is Duffy Gorski. I live in Alpena, Michigan and I read the column by Mark Pavilons in the Caledon Citizen (Positive energy is infectious, Feb. 28) and was move to write this.

I am a believer in the power of positive energy and thinking. I believe that it is contagious. Mark's article also moved me to tell you about our organization - the We Want World Peace Organization. You can read about us at wewantworldpeace.com. What struck me in his column was the comment about anti-war rallies, I agree. They may have helped end a war but it does not get us peace. We, the WWWPO, have known this for many years now and have come up with a plan for world peace. It has to do with the power of the people and how if we all consciously express what we want we will have it as a whole. I don't know if an individual can have a new car just by consciously wanting it, but if more people express that they want world peace and we all work for it I believe that it will happen. WWWPO is a positive peace movement.

Our goal is to prove without a doubt that establishing world peace is now possible.

Love, peace and God bless.
