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.

Modern Day Medicine Versus Common Sense

For those that would like to reduce their risk of a lot of diseases I would recommended a daily amount of foliate  which can easily be obtained through eating more  vegetables and fruits. Raw, natural foods high in folate include leafy greens, such as asparagus and spinach; dried or fresh legumes, including beans and lentils; and yeasts and sunflower seeds, while moderate amounts of folate can also be gotten from fresh fruits and vegetables (including oranges, bananas, broccoli and sprouts).  The more of these that one eats the better we all will be.  There is lots more things on the list that I could recommend one being raw garlic.  I believe that if every one took and crushed one clove of garlic a day, along with a drop of vitamin D that most of all the colds and flu’s would be eliminated. I also believe that if one dug enough Dandelion  roots each year from good healthy soil, that we would be able to eliminate over 75 % of all diseases.  Will this happen? Of course not, it’s to simple. Now a days folks look for that magic pill to fix everything and what is happening is that the pills are causing most of our problems.  Mark my words folks, the time is near when we will all soon find out, what is and has been happening with all these treatments and things that are being  handed out daily.  I can sum things up saying this.  Most folks have gotten used to the easy, softer smoother paths of life.  What should happen is they should be taking the rougher paths now a days, as that way it would slow one down a touch and give them time to think.  Sooner or later you will slow down, I can guarantee that, just it won’t be by your choosing.  It can be corrected though, you have to do it.  Start listening to your body and do what you know is right, not what others think is right.  We are all given that gift, just most never use it.

IN The News. Cancer

Clinical breast exams are no longer routinely recommended for women at average risk of breast cancer, according to new Canadian guidelines.  Remember though that it doesn’t just stop here with Breast Cancer there is many many more on the list that should be stopped.

So there you go.  For years now I have always said that these tests and things that they are subjecting folks to are not good, if anything they are contributing to the cause, not the cure.  Same as biopsies, all they are dong will be proven one day, that it causes trouble not prevent it.  Today folks think that all these tests that are being done is a great thing, when in turn it is the cause of most of our troubles. Same as most of the medicine we take today.  No one and I say no one really understands what the long term effects have from taking these drugs.  I would bet that over seventy five percent of the folks today could fix their own problems, by just using common sense, along with a bit of research.  There is alternatives out there folks believe me.  One has to learn to take back the reigns and look after yourself and don’t rely on others to do it for ya.  My Opinion Only.

Good morning.  Well nice sunny morning.  Temperature is going to reach 31 °f today then dip to 20 °f later on tonight.  Folks in an about Port Loring are burning wood now.  Nothing like wood heat though let me tell ya.  Also a lot more healthier for ya too.  Especially with the old gravity fed furnaces.  Nothing comes from them but heat.  Barometer is rising as I type, sitting at the moment at 29:53 in Hg.  Winds are from the  North East which explains the cool temperature.  Wind is calm this morning, hardly a whisper.   Well deer season is over this morning for those that like to hunt with guns.  I hope everyone got meat for the freezer.  Myself I didn’t get one myself but not because it wasn’t possible.  Just that I had so many different engagements going on this year and I just didn’t get out there as much as I would have liked to. Next year I will keep my schedule clear, nothing but hunting.  Near the end of the season I bought a new scope for my rifle too and didn’t get a chance to use it.  So guess will have to wait till next year.  For those that are into Bow hunting though the old weather stick says the best times to be out there today will be from 2:12 PM – 3:12 PM.  The moon will Rise: 2:51 AM & Set: 2:12 PM. It will be Overhead: 8:38 AM & Underfoot: 9:05 PM.

Bit Of What Is Happening Here In Port Loring, Sunday, November 20 2011

Last day for hunting up here in Port Loring using rifles that is. Bow season still continues on for a few weeks if your into that.  My self I am a rifle man and usually after two weeks I have had my fill.  This year though I didn’t get out as much as I would have liked as wife, my youngest son all went to visit out oldest son in St Catharine’s for a few days.  Next year will have to make sure nothing is booked for them two weeks.

On another note our book signing at Gulliver’s yesterday ended being a great day.  We had folks waiting for us when we came in and a steady stream after that. Got to meet a lot of my readers and would like to say thanks to all those that attended.  Means a lot to my wife and I.  Lot of books were signed let me tell ya.  So again.  Thanks to all those that took the time to make it a great day.  Also thanks goes out to Gulliver’s for making it a great day.  Great folks and if your in the need for some great gifts along with books this coming Christmas, this is the store for you.  The store is loaded with quality gifts and it is a place that you should really take the time to stop in and browse.  You will be surprised I guarantee you that.
