BY JOAN JANZEN Karen Francis, owner of MonAmie Boutique in Kindersley, has been nominated for the 31st annual RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Awards. Karen said she is honoured and humbled to have been nominated for this award, in the “The Ones to Watch Award” category.

This award highlights individuals who demonstrate incredible potential through their innovative ideas, keen business sense and solid plans for future profitable growth.

It’s open to those who have been in business for more than one year, but fewer than three years. MonAmie Boutique is looking forward to celebrating their second year in business this spring.

As Karen took a step back, she soon realized how far she has come in just two short years. During that time she has been working very hard to grow her online business, as well as her brick and mortar store in Kindersley. She really is a deserving nominee for this award.

“There are many aspects to owning your own business, and it’s not for the faint of heart,” she noted. “But at the end of the day

it’s so rewarding.”

Since the inception of the RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Awards, more than 70,000 women have been nominated, and over 210 awards have been presented for outstanding entrepreneurial achievement.

Each of these awards is tailored to recognize women from all sectors of the economy and at all stages of business growth.

The categories for the award include: Ones to Watch Award, Micro-Business Award, Start-Up Award, RBC Momentum Award, Social Change Award: Regional Impact, Social Change Award: National/International Impact, Innovation Award, and Excellence Award.

Each year, RBC calls on businesses, organizations, and communities to help recognize the important and transformative work women entrepreneurs contribute to our country. As one of those entrepreneurs, Karen is thankful for the nomination and recognition from RBC. “There’s thousands of women who are nominated, so I’m excited!” Karen said.

“It’s such an opportunity!”

Francis McManus nominated as a Woman of Influence

BY JOAN JANZEN Francis McManus was both surprised and delighted to discover she has been nominated for the 31st Annual RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneuer Awards. Frances is truly honoured and grateful to be recognized as one of many “Women of Influence’.

This year LaBelle Boutique is heading towards celebrating its 40th anniversary. As a long time business owner, Frances said she feels privileged to be included among such accomplished women who are making a difference in their respective fields.

“I look forward to continuing to grow our business and contributing to the wonderful community of Kindersley and surrounding area,” she said. “The local support and clientele mean everything! I also couldn’t do it without the help of both my amazing staff and family.”

Since the inception of the RBC Canadi-

an Women Entrepreneur Awards, more than 70,000 women have been nominated, and over 210 awards have been presented for outstanding entrepreneurial achievement.

Each of these awards is tailored to recognize women from all sectors of the economy and at all stages of business growth.

The categories for the award include: Ones to Watch For Award, Micro-Business Award, Start-Up Award, RBC Momentum Award, Social Change Award: Regional Impact, Social Change Award: National/International Impact, Innovation Award, and Excellence Award.

RBC annually calls on businesses, organizations, and our community to help recognize the important and transformative work women entrepreneurs contribute to our country. As one of those entrepreneurs, Frances expressed her gratitude for this wonderful opportunity.

Q:

Whatever happened to Patricia Heaton? She had two very successful sitcoms, but I haven’t seen her in anything since. Is she retiring from acting? — L.A. The talented Patrica Heaton has been blessed to star in not only one but two hit sitcoms in her life. She played exhausted wives on both “Everybody Loves Raymond” and “The Middle” for nine seasons each and then starred in “Carol’s Second Act,” but it was canceled after just one season.

Now she’s bouncing back with another sitcom, which is yet to be named, with veteran comedy writers Carol Leifer (“Seinfeld”) and Andy Gordon (“Modern Family”). According to Deadline. com, Heaton will play “the host of an upscale lifestyle show sent to prison for embezzlement and tax evasion. She gets out after two years, forgotten and broke, and moves to Tennessee to live with her estranged sister.”

The show will be filmed in Nashville, where Heaton has a residence, and will air on Fox. The only thing stopping it is the potential of a writers strike if negotiations with the Writers Guild of America come to a halt when their contract is up for renewal in May. While there aren’t as many network sitcoms as there used to be, the few that have premiered in recent years have generated quite a loyal audience. “Abbott Elementary,” “Ghosts” and “Night Court” all have already been renewed for another season before their current one has been completed. *** I remember when Chrishell Stause was a soap opera actress, but now she’s on a reality show. Is she ever going to act again?

— N.S. Chrishell Stause, who hails from Kentucky, made her acting debut on the ABC soap “All My Children” back in 2005. She went on to play Jordan on “Days of Our Lives” and Bethany on “The Young and the Restless,” the latter soap in which she starred with her husband at the time, Justin Hartley. She supplemented her acting revenue by getting her real estate license and joined the Oppenheim Group, selling mansions in

Hollywood and being featured on Netflix’s “Selling Sunset.”

Justin Hartley became a household name with the hit drama “This Is Us,” but he broke Stause’s heart when he left her for another former “Y&R” star, Sofia Pernas. Stause was chosen to compete on “Dancing With the Stars” and is five seasons into “Selling Sunset,” but she hasn’t given up acting — she recently starred in the Lifetime movie “A Rose for her Grave: The Randy Roth Story.” *** Is it true that “Titanic” is returning to theaters? Is it a remake? Who will play the leads?

— S.M. No remake is on the horizon, but the original “Titanic” has been remastered and made its way to theaters this February. James Cameron, director of the Oscar-nominated blockbuster “Avatar: The Way of Water,” has redelivered “Titanic” to the big screen for its 25th anniversary with stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. The running time is 3 hours and 15 minutes, which was an anomaly back in 1997.
