3. Always use a meat thermometer.
Overdone, dry turkey is the worst.
To make sure you don’t overcook your
bird, always use a meat thermometer.
Make sure the thermometer is
inserted into the thickest part of the
thigh and isn’t touching the bone.
When the thigh temperature
reaches 180°F, you’re done. Note: If
your turkey is stuffed, the temperature
must reach a minimum 165°F deep
in the stuffing.
4. It’s not all about that baste.
Despite the longstanding tradition
of turkey basting, Chef Shahir says
you may be surprised to learn that
it’s actually not doing much for your
turkey. Every time you open the oven
door, heat and moisture escape. This
means it will take longer for your
turkey to cook and you could end up
with a drier bird. Plus, the drippings
you’re using to baste are a mixture of
fat and liquid that can actually make
the skin soggy and dry out the meat.
5. Give it a rest.
Before carving up your turkey, let
it rest for 15 to 20 minutes by loosely
covering it with foil. This will help the
turkey to retain its moisture, making
it extra juicy.
For any questions or concerns
about your Thanksgiving turkey,
the Butterball Turkey TalkLine staff
are available to take your call at
1-800-BUTTERBALL (1-800-288-8372).

(NC) Roasting the perfect holiday
bird isn’t always as easy as we’d like.
Fortunately, with the right tools and
pro tips, you’ll be well on your way
to seasoning and stuffing a turkey
worthy of showing off on social
media. Here, Chef Shahir Massoud,
spokesperson for Butterball and
Kimberly Mann, national training
manager at GE Appliances, talk
turkey and reveal their top tips.
1. Chill out.
If you’re cooking a frozen turkey,
thaw the bird in the fridge, not the
counter as the room temperature can
promote bacterial growth. Plan one
day of thawing for every four pounds
of turkey. In a rush? Chef Shahir
suggests submerging a fully wrapped
turkey, breast down, in cold water.
You’ll need about 30 minutes per
pound for the whole turkey to thaw
with this method.
2. Don’t fear convection.
“Convection cooking is the perfect
way to roast a turkey because the
circulating air helps seal in juices
and browns the skin to perfection,”
explains Mann. Although the
convection feature on your oven
can seem daunting, she suggests
cooking the turkey at a slightly
lower temperature than normal and
checking it more frequently as it will
cook a bit faster on a convection
setting. Some of GE’s ranges even
feature
automatic
convection
conversion, making all these
adjustments automatically.

10-minute home repairs you
can do yourself
(NC) No matter what your level of
expertise, there are plenty of small
fix-ups you can do around your
home with relative ease. It's always
advisable to call in an expert for
large-scale home repairs, but more
minor projects are a great way to
keep your home in top shape for
your family and potential buyers
should you ever decide to sell.
“Maintaining your home is by far
the best way to preserve its value,”
advises Mark Wolle, broker-owner
at Royal LePage Wolle Realty in
Kitchener, Ontario. “And with an
arsenal of timely small-scale repairs,
homeowners can keep many larger
scale fixes at bay.”
There are hundreds of small ways
you can keep your home in top
shape. Invest in a good home-repair
manual, or visit your local library
for resource materials. Here, Wolle
offers his top five easy 10-minute
fix-ups:
1. Fill cracked drywall seams.
Using a taping knife, smooth a
piece of nylon drywall tape over
the crack, working from the centre
toward the edges. Cover the tape
with a thin layer of joint compound
and let dry. Apply a second coat,
feathering at edges. Sand, prime,
and repaint the area.
For Advertising Information please call: 905.420.4123 or 416.779.2523
2. Silence squeaky floors.
Scrape the joints between
floorboards to remove dirt, then
sprinkle a little baby powder
between the squeaky ones. Bounce
up and down on the area to work the
powder into the joint.
3. Repair a sticky sliding glass door.
Clean the tracks by moving the
door to one side and then the other
as you vacuum. Clean the tracks
with denatured alcohol. Spray the
upper track with silicone spray and
rub paraffin wax along the lower
one.
4. Unclog a sink with non-toxic
chemicals.
To clear most clogs, pour a cup of
baking soda into the drain and then
add a pint of vinegar. Stand back
and wait for an eruption. After about
fifteen minutes, pour several cups of
boiling water down the drain.
5. Caulk a bathtub.
Remove old caulk. Tape above and
below the joint that needs caulking
and fill tub with water to weigh it
down and open the joint. Squeeze
a thin bead of caulk along the open
joint. Use your index finger to smooth
out the caulk; remove tape and wipe
away excess with a damp rag.

Top 2 tips to being part of a
successful virtual workforce
(NC) Whether you own a business or
work for a large company, chances
are you or some part of your
workforce, work from home at least
part of the time. The latest Statistic
Canada data show nearly two million
of us are working remotely at least
once a week, and that number is
growing as we learn more about the
benefits of telecommuting for both
employees and employers.
Organizations realize that a virtual
workforce allows them to expand
their potential labor markets, so that
they can hire for good fit, regardless
of physical location. Employees
like it because there's potential for
better personal and professional life
balance, and added flexibility.
Dr. Lori LaCivita, director of
Walden University's industrial and
organizational psychology graduate
program, says there is often the
misconception that working from
home is not as serious or demanding
as in-person labour. “It's actually a lot
harder to work remotely — it takes
more effort to be effective in this
environment. You need to prioritize,
triage, and structure your day to be
productive,” says Dr. LaCivita.
Whether you're an employer,
employee, manager, student or
freelancer, you're sure to benefit
from her top two tips to being a part
of an effective virtual workforce.
1. Communication is key.
“Working remotely requires a
higher level of communication since
you can't pick up on nonverbal cues
and don't have the in-person social
ISSUE 10 – OCTOBER 2016
interactions that office workers have,”
says Dr. LaCivita. Communicating
helps you feel connected and fights
feelings of isolation. Get creative
and use technology to collaborate
with your team. Managers need to
understand that close supervision is
not the key to success, and should
instead look at virtual workers'
responsiveness, consistency, and
successes to determine performance.
2. Become friends with technology.
To be a successful virtual
employee or have an effective virtual
workforce, you need to have a good
understanding of technology and
how to use it properly. An employee
should always have a backup plan if
technology fails: get a landline and
save work in multiple locations, and
identify local coffee shops where
you can connect online should the
power ever go out.
Employers and managers need to
have an understanding of how an
employee does their job, both virtual
and onsite, and an appreciation
for what each person brings to
the table. It's a manager's job to
create an inclusive, collaborative
environment, and an employee's
responsibility to show that their
physical location doesn't affect their
ability to successfully perform their
job. Virtual workplaces are not just
the wave of the future, they're the
now, and with the right team and
skill set, they can be beneficial for
all.

5 tips to make an older home more energy efficient
(NC) While new homes are being
built to be more energy efficient
than ever before, thanks to a
growing green building movement
and increasingly strict building
codes, the age of existing dwellings
continues to present challenges.
More than half of Canada's housing
stock was built before 1980 and
simply wouldn't stand up to today's
standards. Yet, much can be done
to help homeowners improve their
building envelope to reduce energy
use and increase efficiency.
Improving your home's energy
efficiency can help save money,
keep you more comfortable, reduce
pollution, and prevent global
warming. Try these five simple
measures to maximize the energy
efficiency of your home:
1. Seal cracks and gaps around your
home's windows, doors, and vents.
These can be a considerable source
of energy loss, allowing conditioned
air to escape and unconditioned air
to infiltrate your home, stressing your
furnace and air conditioner in the
process. An easy DIY solution is to
caulk around windows, doors, and
vents, and install or replace worn
weatherstripping. An average home
loses up to 30 per cent of its energy
through air leaks, so sealing your
home is a worthwhile exercise.
2. Top up or replace old insulation in
your attic.
A poorly insulated attic is a primary
source of energy loss. Also, over time,
some types of insulation can settle
and compact, allowing heat to escape
through gaps. Experts recommend
installing a dimensionally stable batt
insulation like a Roxul product called
Comfortbatt. Aim for an r-value of at
least R50 or roughly a depth of 16
inches (41 cm).
3. Insulate basement headers.
Uninsulated basement headers are
common, especially in older homes.
They can act as a gateway for heated
air to escape. Fixing the problem is
fast and easy. Simply cut Comfortbatt
stone wool insulation to fit the cavity
and compress into place. Doing
this throughout your basement will
prevent heat loss and can potentially
save hundreds of dollars each year.
4. Switch to LED light bulbs.
Some LED light bulbs have a
lifespan of up to 10 years, and are
80 to 90 per cent more efficient
than an incandescent bulb. They
are generally more environmentally
friendly than CFLs and safer, too,
since they produce less heat. The
return on investment is excellent, as
LED bulbs often pay for themselves
through energy savings within the
first year.
5. Consider a home energy audit.
This will help you identify and
target specific problematic areas of
energy loss. A professional home
energy audit will also provide a list
of recommended solutions to help
you maximize your energy-efficiency
strategy.

Remember, if you have benefits from
your employer or another policy,
you may already have some level
of coverage for some or all of the
changes made. You should consider
these benefits as you review your
coverage options.
3. Understand your policy. Discuss
exact coverage in the event of an
accident and get clarity from your
insurance representative. Ask about
options to increase the benefits –
and ways to reduce the costs, such
as discounts that may be available to
you. Drivers who use winter tires, for
example, are eligible for a discount.

steps to make sure you know what
you are getting, and get what you
need to help protect you all winter
long:
1. Read the “Important Changes To
Your Policy!” document that you'll
get with the renewal package from
your insurer. It will help you better
understand the changes and will
help you assess if they reduce or
eliminate something that was
important to you.
2. Compare the new policy with your
current policy to pinpoint changes in
coverage. This will help you decide
whether you need to add options.

(NC) Most auto accidents happen in
Canada during the season of ice and
snow, so right now is a critical time
to make sure your auto insurance
policy has you covered.
This is especially important this
winter because to help reduce costs,
major changes to auto insurance
came into effect on June 1, 2016.
Some benefits have been reduced
and some options for increased
coverage have been eliminated or
changed. If your policy is coming up
for renewal this winter, the changes
will impact you.

What is a Shareholders’ Agreement and does my small company need one?
When setting up a company with
family or friends it is easy to assume
that nothing can go wrong in the
future. You might assume that as
you trust one another you do not
need to put in place something like
a shareholders’ agreement – in fact,
you might think that asking for a
Shareholders’ Agreement will make
it sound like you do not trust or
respect your new business partners.
Hopefully nothing will go wrong
in the future. However, even family
members and best friends fall out
and, if the worst should happen, you
could then end up with nothing. Or
you might face the breakdown of a
friendship alongside a costly and
acrimonious legal dispute related
to the business. A fully considered
and well drafted Shareholders’
Agreement can act as a safeguard,
prevent costly litigation, and give
you and your fellow shareholders
more protection against these types
of scenarios.
The benefits of having a
Shareholders’ Agreement do not
end with addressing disagreements
among business partners or dealing
with unforeseen circumstances.
Rather, a Shareholders’ Agreement,
first and foremost, lays out the ground
rules of the business relationship;
it clarifies roles, responsibilities
and procedures. Also, should the
articles of incorporation permit and
should you decide to sell your shares
to a third party, a Shareholders’
Agreement can add significant
value to your investment as it makes
your interest in the business more
marketable.
The Shareholders’ Agreement will:
Set out the shareholders’ rights and
obligations;
Regulate the sale of shares in the
company;
Describe how the company is going
to be run;
Provide an element of protection
for minority shareholders and the
company; and
Define how important decisions are
to be made.
The key provisions that you should
consider including in a Shareholders’
Agreement are those relating to:
Issuing shares and transferring shares
– including provisions to prevent
unwanted third parties acquiring
shares and how a shareholder can

Renovate for maximum ROI with these top projects
By Scott McGillivray
(NC) As a contractor and real estate
expert, homeowners often look to
me to provide advice on the best
projects for their renovation dollars.
While it’s important to first consider
the purpose of the renovation (is it
for yourself, for resale, or as part of an
income-generating suite?), there are
some renovations that have proven
to be reliable investments over time.
Some of these include:
Kitchens and bathrooms.
Renovations here top the list. Highend finishes, like marble and quartz
countertops and stainless steel
or commercial grade appliances,
are greatly coveted. Clever storage
is desirable, along with home
automation––a new and growing
trend.
Bathrooms.
This one is simple. The hottest
bathrooms right now aim to replicate
a spa-like experience. From colour
and accessories to scents and
lighting, transforming this room into
a relaxation haven will maximize its
appeal.
Basements.
Basement renovations are among
ISSUE 10 – OCTOBER 2016
the best ways to gain space without
going the route of a costly addition,
but the key is doing it right. Address
moisture issues first and hire
professionals for plumbing, electrical
and mechanical work. Insulate with
a water-repellant insulation made
from inorganic materials to improve
energy efficiency, and then focus on
the finishes.
Insulation.
Installing, topping up, or replacing
insulation is one of the most costeffective ways to increase energy
efficiency and save money over
the life of your home. For exterior
walls, basements headers, cathedral
ceilings, and attics, I recommend a
product called Roxul Comfortbatt
stone wool insulation for exceptional
thermal performance. For interior
walls and between floors, I’m a big
fan of Roxul Safe ‘n’ Sound for its
excellent sound dampening qualities.
Both products are fire resistant up
to 1,177˚C, resistant to mould and
mildew, and Greenguard certified to
the highest level for air quality.
Smaller fixes.
Know that you don’t have to spend
a lot of money to realize a good
return. Can’t afford a full-out kitchen
or bathroom reno? Consider painting
walls and cabinets, replacing
outdated hardware or fixtures,
and installing new lighting for an
impactful refresh. When it comes
to living spaces, it’s amazing what a
splash of colour, some new flooring,
carefully selected accessories and
strategic lighting can do for the look
and feel of a room. Save a little extra
by doing it yourself. With a positive

attitude and some elbow grease,
you can make a big difference with
projects that require low to moderate
know-how.

Help shape the future with Ontario universities
(NC) As the pace of change
accelerates and the challenges facing
Ontario residents grow increasingly
complex, the province’s universities
are asking parents, students, and
other members of the public what
keeps them up at night.
Disruptive technologies, artificial
intelligence, and demographic shifts
are changing every aspect of society,
including how people communicate,
their workplaces, and the services
available in their community. This
is why universities want to know
what these changes mean for you
and for the future of your family and
neighbours.
“The world is changing so quickly
these days that it can feel hard to keep
up,” says David Lindsay, president
and CEO of the Council of Ontario
Universities,
which
represents
universities across the province.
“Universities want to know your
hopes and concerns about the future
so that we can help empower our
students, our economy, and our
whole society to unlock the full
potential of our province. We want to
understand what you’re concerned
about and tap into your ideas and
aspirations about the future.”
To canvas your ideas, Ontario’s
21 universities are asking the public
to take part in a short online survey
about their hopes and concerns for
the future as they launch a provincewide conversation about how to
make sure the future is bright for
everyone.
“We are asking people directly —
tell us what kind of future you hope
to achieve for yourself and your
family,” says Lindsay.
“We are going to spend the year
listening. This input will be an
important part of the dialogue
about how universities can work
with parents, students, businesses,
communities, and everyone else
to make sure people feel confident
about what lies ahead. That’s a role
universities want to play.”
Lindsay says universities are
hoping for feedback on a whole
range of questions facing Ontario
today. Is the province keeping pace
with the rest of the world? How do
we plan for the jobs of tomorrow?
How do we maintain a vibrant arts
and culture sector? How can we
ensure social services adapt to serve
a changing and aging population? As
the stress on our planet continues,
what opportunities are there for
Ontario to provide global leadership
in environmental issues?
Universities also want to know
what skills people think today’s
students need as they prepare to
launch their careers. Is it the ability
to solve problems, or the ability to
communicate? Is it leadership, or do
they need hands-on training? Maybe
all of those skills are considered
essential.
Take the survey at www.
ontariosuniverisites.ca. Follow the
conversation on social media @

Top 3 Thanksgiving hosting
tips
(NC) Whether it's your first or
twentieth time hosting loved ones
for Thanksgiving, everyone can use
some extra advice on making the
event super special and delicious.
Don't fret and get on track easily
with these three hosting tips for
both traditional and modern décor
schemes:
1. Welcome guests with sights and
scents that please.
Before guests arrive, have
pumpkin pie baking in the oven
so that the scents of cinnamon,
nutmeg, and ginger greet them. You
can find an easy pumpkin pie and
other Thanksgiving recipes online
at carnationmilk.ca. You can also
decorate your walkway, front door,
or foyer with Thanksgiving-themed
accents. Doing this will make guests
feel at home quickly and spark
conversations.
Traditional: Place a wreath in fall
colours on your front door and
decorate your front steps or foyer
with ornamental corn or mini orange
pumpkins.
Modern: For a funkier vibe, embrace
a different colour scheme, like white,
grey, and silver. This neutralizes the
tone of your décor, while maintaining
a fall feel. Paint mini pumpkins white
with silver stems, or put a birch
wreath on your door instead of an
orange one.
2. Ensure your table has the basics
covered.
In the weeks leading up to the
main event, count up all your dishes,
mugs, and cutlery to ensure you have
enough for everyone. Don't forget
often-overlooked items like a pie
slicer, a carving knife, and a gravy
boat. Next, plan your table's theme
to feel Thanksgiving-appropriate.
Traditional: Tie straw strings around
the necks of mason jars, looping
them into a bow. Arrange them
down the centre of the table and fill
them with sprigs from maple trees
with the orange, red, and yellow
leaves still on.
Modern: Pick up some ornamental
corn (dried husks on), trim the husks
to your liking, and spray paint the
cobs silver. Lay one at the top of
everyone's place — you can even
write their name on the husk for a
personal touch.
3. Plan for your littlest visitors.
If children are going to be
in attendance, plan something
specifically for them. Both kids and
their parents will appreciate your
efforts.
Traditional: Greet your youngest
arrivals at the door with a
Thanksgiving-themed colouring
book and crayons.
Modern: Set up an easy-to-reach
dessert station with paper plates,
sprinkles, whipped cream, and
pumpkin pie tarts — you can put
tarts in the oven before guests arrive.
Encourage kids to decorate the tarts
to their liking and even serve them
to others.
