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.

Statin Drugs For Cholesterol

For years I have said that these satin drugs folks are taking for Cholesterol  are in for some problems down the road aways with sore muscles and all kinds of things going wrong.  Take a look at this article out today. http://www.naturalnews.com/041605_statin_drugs_breast_cancer_prostate.html

My believe is that there is no such thing as bad Cholesterol. One needs the so called bad as well as the good to stay healthy. What needs to be done is folks have to make some life style changes in their life.

Not to much happening in and around town.  I have been busy renovating our old home.  Was going to buy new windows but instead decided to fix up the old ones.  Takes some work but when all said and done, money is saved and you have a better product than the new that is out there today.  On another note, here at our store my wife and I have decided to have a sale with 20% off every thing in the store and no tax for the month of August.  We would like to reduce inventory this summer.  So lots of good buys for folks on a lot of hand crafted items. For example, beautiful hand crafted drop leaf pine table with hand painted center.  Was only 450.00 now being sold for 360.00.  Native American Flutes all hand crafted, was $125.00 now $100.00.   A sale like this only comes along once in awhile my friends.  Enjoy your day my friends.
