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.

Port Loring Ontario, A Place To Raise Your Children, Start A Business, Or Just Settle Down.

You know for most my life I have lived in the country. Moving here to Port Loring, Ontario was just one more of our adventures in trying to keep  us alive and well. In Niagara where we farmed it has grown to enormous proportions and  you might say folks don’t have any elbow room any-more.  Here in Port Loring that problem is solved.   For those that want the simple life with a country backing, well this is the place for you.  We are a growing area. but still with in our growth rate to get bigger, without loosing what I call necessities in life.   Homes are readily available at a very reasonable price in and around our area, and lots of good land if you choose to build your dream home.   We are still an unorganized area, but don’t let that worry you, as through my eyes it is an advantage point, as there are a lot of things not in place to hamper a fellow or gal, when the urge strikes to doing certain things.  Also  remember this, being unorganized doesn’t mean we don’t have rules to follow, and that any one can do what ever they want, as it doesn’t. We have our own Board here called the LSB, that takes place every month, open to the public and things are getting done.  I can vouch for that, as I am on the Board, newly elected  and lots of good things are about to happen and have happened.  Guess what I am saying is, we have lots to offer here in Port Loring,  so why not put it on your list of places to visit, you will be surprised in what you see.  And when in town, stop in and see my wife and I, we would love to see you. Coffee is always on. Should say here too, if you need more info on our growing community, feel free to get in touch with either my wife or I.   You can reach me here on the Blog or at :   [email protected] or 1 705-757-1640  Take Care, George & Ruth Walters

A Few Words On Things That Plants Depend On & How We Can Learn From Them

You know every once in a while I get to thinking that these so called Pharmaceutical companies are not doing things that are in the public best interest. Now take herbs.  Did you know that herbs have an antibacterial and antiviral properties?  Well they do, especially the ones out in the wild.   Only common sense that they do, as if they didn’t they would be eaten alive by microbes in the soil before they even got to growing.  In saying this, the Pharmaceutical and others say that there is no plant fungi in the world that can act as an antibiotic in our body. Hmm, I wonder where they think mould came from when they got to making penicillin.  My Opinion Only.
