George Walters is a Canadian columnist and author with more than forty years of writing experience. For over twenty years he has written a weekly column for Postmedia Network — Canada's largest newspaper chain — never missing a single week, publishing fifty-two stories a year. Combined with his work in Reader's Digest Community Voices, World News, Country Living, The Country Register, and farm and rural lifestyle magazines across Canada, he has published well over two thousand stories drawn from everyday life. He writes about farm work, fishing, old trucks, and the kind of people you only find in small towns — but just as likely he'll hand a voice to a weathered telephone pole, or turn his eye on something happening in the world today and tell you exactly what he thinks about it. No subject is off limits. If there's a story in it, George will find it. He has been called a philosopher of everyday life, a description that came up more than once during his television appearances over the years — and it's not hard to see why. His writing has a way of making the ordinary feel worth sitting with. He is the author of eleven books, including yearly short story collections and the Clay Moretti Files mystery series. Clay is a fifty-year-old private investigator who drives a 1967 Ford Galaxie, smokes cigars, and operates by a code the modern world gave up on a long time ago. The cases are present day. The man handling them is not. All titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. Together, George and his wife Ruth have also created Elmer Finds His Way, the first in what he hopes will be a long series of children's books. Ruth did all the illustrations, as she has for every one of George's books — and beyond that she designed and painted the covers as well. Her work is woven into every page of everything he has published. A few words from readers: "I pulled up a kitchen chair and read your story three times." "You have a way of making a person homesick for a place they haven't been to." "Thank you for writing things that make old people and kids feel the same way at the same time." All my titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon.ca here.

What’s Happening In & Around Port Loring, Ontario, Canada on Oct 26/2022

It’s a cloudy morning here, waking up in Port Loring. We won’t be seeing too much sunshine today. We might however see some rain, which will cool things down some. Tomorrow we should see a return of the sun if things go to plan. Highway 522 is bare and dry, so far, this morning. There are still lots of hunters moving into our area for the deer hunt that starts next week, It will get even busier nearing the weekend.

On another note, my wife and I worked outside on a few projects yesterday, getting a lot done. We like to take advantage of the nice days when ever we can. Today, being that it is going to rain, I will clean up my shop getting it ready for another project. My part in making the … new one of a kind end table is finished, now my wife is going to work her magic painting a scenic picture on the top. She is an amazing artist, and people have bought her paintings from all over the world. Once I clean up my messy shop, I will finish up another Podcast that I have been working on, which I will post live Friday morning.

With that I am off for some homemade pancakes my lovely wife is preparing for me, and will then see what the day has in store, other than what I have planned. Stay safe.
