You See! Old lessons for a modern world (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Through years of writing for this paper, I’ve shared many tales about my elders who lived in another time. So, I’ve come up with my own way of sharing some of those old lessons. It starts with two little words . . . You see! That’s a perfect example …. You see! That’s a perfect example of what folks used to do when something broke. You didn’t throw the damn thing out, you got out the toolbox and tinkered with it until you figured out what was wrong. And if you couldn’t fix it, you found someone
Trips with Dad down Highway 27 always bring back fond memories (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thinking back to when my old Dad was alive always puts a smile on my face. Some of my finest memories are from the roads we traveled together. Take Highway 27, for instance. If you know it, you know it runs between Barrie and Toronto, right through the heart of the country here in Ontario. Now, that highway is still there, but it’s a different place these days. Back then, the traffic was light and the towns like Schomberg, Bond Head, Cookstown and Thornton were small enough you’d wave and folks
What wood would cost if it cost what it used to cost (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Occasionally, I find myself looking back on the past, and one thing that stands out is the price of lumber. In 1935, as hard as it is to believe, a man could buy a thousand board feet of birch, for just $45 and, if you needed something cheaper, hemlock went for only $16. The best part was, when you dealt with the folks selling the lumber, there were no contracts, no fine print, just a handshake. That was business back then, straight-up and no nonsense. Now, again … you have to remember the price
WALTERS: An old-timer's weather forecast (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You know, I’ve always had this thing for watching the weather, and growing up on a farm, you learn quick to read the signs. At an early age with the help of my old friend Grey Wolf, an Indigenous man, I learned to watch the sky before you watched the calendar, and I learned that the land will tell you what’s coming long before any forecast does. Like lately, being mid-August now, I’ve started to notice that summer is starting to change. Mornings have a different feel to them, evenings come on qu
One More Story: The tomato I remember (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You know, if I had to pick a favourite sandwich it would have to be a tomato sandwich. But here’s the thing. Years ago when my lovely wife and I were farming in Niagara – Beamsville, Ont. to be exact – we would always plant around an acre or two which we would take to market, along with other tender fruits that we grew. The two we grew back then were Bonny Best and Glamour, which was my favourite. Reason being they had a flavour to them that would be hard to match today. Today, if someone blindf
