Remember, Your Septic System Is Alive, Take Care Of It.

One item that most folks forget when living in the country on septic systems, is what you are putting into it.  The main thing that should be avoided is antibacterial soap or bleach. Thing is folks, a septic is made up of bacteria that eats things down in there and keeps things moving.  So……..only common sense not to put things into your septic that kills bacteria.  My wife and I use good old regular soap of years past. Works great.  We never use antibacterial soap for anything, as all that does is promote stronger bacteria, which causes all kinds of problems with our health.  Through my eyes it should have never been made and brought onto the market for public use.  My Opinion Only

Good day sir:
I’ve been reading your stories since they first appeared in Community Voices.  Am I ever glad that you joined this team of story tellers. Now I see that we have the good fortune to have your stories appear in the Sat. edition of the Nugget. You’ve had some very interesting things happen to you throughout your life. Thank you for sharing them with us. You fill the shoes of Mr. Hakala very well as I had read his stories for a few years but never took the opportunity to thank him. I just read your story about Grey Wolf and his bear friend, “awesome”, to say the least. Please keep up the good work.
I am fairly familiar with your neck of the woods as I have done some work in Port Lorring. My wife and I reside on the outskirts of Mattawa, Papineau Twp.
Have a good day sir.
Sincerely Bart

I never miss your column in the North Bay Nugget or
 Community Voice.
I Love it. Reminds me of my Grandfather
 A gentle hard working orderly person who never
 wasted a thing in his
 life and could make me a whistle or a toy or a very useful
 item out of  something he knew the exact where-abouts-of.
 He went overseas during
 World War I, and the only stories I remember him telling
 were in relation to the kindly and appreciative people
 he met and the countryside.
 He raised a wonderful family of 5 after his wife died
 in child-birth.
 Mom was the oldest and had to quit school at the age of 13
 to stay home with her siblings. You are so right.
 It WAS a hard life, but those people will never be forgotten.
Thanks for keeping their memories alive.  Elva

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your stories.  It is the first thing I look for in the Community Voices. I am sure I missed your first ones because I don t know who Laura is.  My guess is that you were taken in as a child by her and husband. It sounds like it was the kinda of childhood that I  always wanted. Your stories are so down to earth and I use a lot of your  tips for the garden etc. Keep it up  and the next time I see you in the IGA in Sundridge I am going to speak to you and maybe get your autograph.  That way I will have it before your autobiography comes out.  Be well       Pamela
