People in Business, Friday, May 2, 2008 3 Women In Business Many people are surprised when they find out how emotional Cathy Longhurst's profession is. As the owner and operator of Art Effects Gallery and Framing Centre, Cathy and her dedicated staff are professional picture framers. But when you think about it, if you care enough to have something framed, the picture or object is obviously quite important to you. "Picture framing is a luxury thing," says Cathy. "People bring things in to be framed because it means something to them." Located on Guelph Street near Delrex Boulevard, Art Effects has been framing memories for 21 years. Cathy has worked at the business for 15 years and became the owner nearly two years ago. Art Effects doesn't just frame photos and paintings. Cathy has framed some unusual objects over the years, including snakes skin, butterflies, even a man's hip joint. And that's why Cathy loves her job. "I love the people," she says. "I love the emotional, personal stories that bring people here to frame what they love." 348 Guelph St., Georgetown 905-877-7491 Cathy Longhurst Gallery & Framing Centre Hi, my name is Dianne Gamble.

She made wine at her home for years until she realized that there was no place in Halton Hills where people can brew their own wine. Corks Winery grew out of her love for homemade wine. In its seven years in business, Corks Winery has become the place to go if you love wine. The winery offers brew-on-premises services as well as wine kits that customers can buy and bring home to make. The brew-on-premises process takes two visits. During the first visit, customers pick the wine they want to make and add the yeast. Four to five weeks later, they return to the winery and bottle their wine. "We tell the customer that those are the longest five weeks they'll ever have to wait," Susan says with a laugh. Susan enjoys getting to know her customers in the winery's friendly, relaxed atmosphere. "The customers are the best part," she says. We really enjoy getting to know our customers, and helping with their selection of wines. 71 Mountainview Rd., Georgetown 905-873-6663 Susan Hamilton CORKS WINERY If you are looking for a safe, healthy and positive method of weight loss then the Georgetown location of Herbal Magic is there for you!

It was on this day the she opened the Mountainview Animal Hospital in Georgetown South, a veterinary hospital that offers preventative health care, and surgical and medical diagnostic and treatment to local animals. A veterinarian with 14 years of experience, Dr. Ewing dedicates herself to the care and treatment of companion animals- pets like dogs, cats, rabbits and rodents. "I love animals and I love working with the clients," she says. "Veterinarians get a sense of satisfaction in helping an animal get better and seeing the happiness it brings the family." In all her years as a vet, Dr. Ewing has seen many changes in the field. Diseases and animal health problems that couldn't be fixed when she first graduated from vet school can now be treated thanks to advances in science and technology. And that's great news for all veterinarians, who love helping animals get better. "I think this is the most rewarding career," she says. "There's nothing else in this world I could see myself doing."
