All posts by George Walters

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.

Information For Port Loring Ontario Canada

Good Morning:  Well another cold morning here in Port Loring. Temperatures waking up were sitting at -7.1 C | 19.22 F.  Quite a bit cooler than yesterday.  But some sunshine is peaking through at us.  Makes one feel good.

Forecast For Today:  Will remain cold today and for the next couple days for that matter.  It will be rather Unsettled, probably improving as the day progresses. One can only hope.

Hunting Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 8:30 AM – 10:30 AM.  Then once again from 3:00 PM – 5:30 PM.   Winds are coming in from the South South East and at the moment calm.  They will pick up to around 11 MPH later on this afternoon.  I give it a 4 Buck Rating out of 5 for seeing a few.  Good Luck!

Around Town:   Very Quiet here in Port Loring these days.  Folks that are out an about are all in the cities shopping I am thinking.  But that is OK too, as it gets one out an moving.  Nothing worse than being cooped up in the house all the time.  Highway 522 is bare and dry at the moment so travelling is good.  Don’t forget today is “Cyber Monday” which means there will be deals galore On Line today.  I have to say I even found some great buys.  Might as well take advantage of them.  Feeling great these days and why not.  Eating healthy living in one of the best places in Ontario, one should be doing OK.  Great to have no worries and enjoying life to the fullest. It’s up to each individual to take the right road in life.  Some do some don’t.  On another note I had another friend of mine let me know this morning that he got his first deer Bow Hunting yesterday.  Great to hear things like that. Said it was quite exciting, got it at 30 yards out.  Congratulations goes out to Joey.  That brings it up to 12 friends of mine that did well this year and dropped by,called or E-Mailed to let me know.  All goes to show ya that there is no better hunting than right here in Port Loring Ontario Canada.  Have a great day.  You can reach me George Walters if you like at  [email protected]
