Got a sec? Great. All alone? Perfect! It’s time to lean in real close cause I’m back with Secret #2 in my 5 Secrets of a Successful Sale. Secret #1: It’s your kitchen that’ll sell your home. Secret #2: Declutter, depersonalize, and stage your home. THE Buyers must be able to picture themselves living in YOUR home. Give ‘em a chance to do just that by decluttering, depersonalizing, and staging your home: • Declutter: Picture your home as a vacation rental. If you wouldn’t see it out in a rental, you shouldn’t see it out during a showing. • Depersonalize: A few modest photos here and there is fi ne, but pack away the excess, take down oversized monograms, and remove wall letters from the kids’ rooms. TEAM • Stage: If you’re using the dining room as a craft area or home offi ce, reset it as a space to dine. Also, get rid of unnecessary furniture to make your living Town & Country room feel airy and spacious. Staging doesn’t have to be costly or complicated — it simply helps buyers make sense of your home and see its potential. mckillop.ca When it comes to getting your home ready for the market, less is ALWAYS more.

Within this authority, 15 geographic regions would Continued on page 8 focus on local needs and there would also be a separate francophone division, instead of the existing 37 school di- visions. Parents would provide input through new school community councils, with volunteer executives from each region on a provincial advisory council. There would be no more school boards with elected trustees. If these changes are implemented, the provincial govern- ment expects that $40 million could be shifted to classrooms. However, these proposed changes don’t sit well with Alan Campbell, chair of the Interlake School Division’s board of trustees and president of the Manitoba School Boards As- sociation. “On Monday, March 15, Education Minister Cullen an- nounced the government’s plan to strip democratic ac- countability out of public education, with the elimination of locally elected school boards and the dissolution of local school divisions,” he said. “Sadly, in the wake of an announcement that has proven drastic and wholly disruptive for the system in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has not been any evidence provided by government to justify their plans. The govern- ment’s claims that student outcomes will improve, that par- ents will have ‘more say’ and tax dollars will be saved have not been supported by any examples or evidence in the gov- ernment literature or announcements to date.” Campbell said one of the most important realizations to 21034gm8 come out of last Monday’s announcement was that the gov- ernment has decided not to follow many of the recommen- dations of the K-12 Education Review Commission. “I would strongly encourage all Manitobans to read the commission’s report and recommendations because the drastic steps which government are planning to undertake in Bill 64 do not align,” he said. “Contrary to government’s plans, Manitobans will fi nd that the K-12 review commissioners did not recommend the elimination of school boards and school divisions. They did not recommend that new directors of education be ap- pointed by government to replace local school division ad- ministration. They did not recommend the complete cen- tralization of authority over public education under a new provincial education authority, to be led by a politically ap- pointed board.” These changes are all part of government’s plans, he add- ed. “In actual fact, the K-12 review commissioners recom- mended the preservation of local school boards with trust- ees to be appointed and elected from their communities so that local democratic accountability could be protected. Commissioners further recommended that local boards retain responsibility for superintendent hiring, parent and

Trustees were faced with the diffi cult task of reducing $700,000 in program and service ex- penditures from the $39 million budget due to a shortfall of provincial funding. The fi nalized budget was passed with a $45,000 shortfall, which will come out of the 2021-2022 division surplus budget. The Continuing Education program ($38,000) and the Junior Kindergarten program ($162,000) were both cancelled. The original reduction of administrative assistant allocations of $76,000 was reduced to $68,300 and the reduction of li- TRIBUNE PHOTOS BY MATTHIEU MEIER brary staffi ng of $82,000 was reduced to $65,000.

Now, at the age of 46, she is pitching her music for use in television and fi lm productions. “I have two goals. One is to write songs that fi nd a home in TV and fi lm and also write songs for and with other art- ists,” said Schwartz. Schwartz used to live in Stonewall where she played pia- no in a band at the New Life Church for 15 years. She and her husband Don have since moved to the U.K., where she is taking an online class that helps musicians get in con- tact with music supervisors that pick the songs that go into TV and fi lm. “I just have always loved music and recognise the power TRIBUNE PHOTO SUBMITTED music has while watching moving pictures,” she said. “I Susie Schwartz writes music for other musicians and is now creating music for TV and would notice how a song would elevate a scene. I noticed fi lm production. Her fi rst single is being released on streaming platforms March 26. what type of music was being used in different places.” On March 26 Schwartz is releasing her fi rst single titled “You Don’t Know Who I Really Am” under her musician’s name Suschwa Music on streaming platforms. “There’s been times in life where I’ve heard of other people’s and my own feelings feeling fraudulent,” said Schwartz as she describes the meaning behind her new song. “I get along with people and I do good things for other people, but they aren’t necessarily seeing the dark side or what we internally go through. Its wrestling with identity.” Since fi nishing her song and sharing it with music su- pervisors, she said she received positive feedback and it is already being considered for a TV show being shot in the U.K. “The most successful music for TV and fi lm is the most heartfelt and honest. I think that’s where I have something going for me because I wear my heart on my sleeve,” she said. This is the fi rst time Schwartz is monetizing her music, but she says she isn’t doing it for the money and that it would be nice to have the production costs covered. “I’m writing this music. I am not a recording artist. I am not a vocalist, I’m a pianist and a songwriter. My music felt a little aimless. This felt like a good place to have them land,” she said. 21034gm1 The song features local musician Erin Corbin on vocals. Schwartz fi rst heard Corbin sing when she was a teenager. Someone at their church mentioned to her that Corbin could sing and she decided to ask her if they could play music together so that she could hear her. This was about a decade ago. “She invited me to try out recording a song for her. That experience gave me more courage to be singing in public. Ever since then, she’s always been writing music, and here and there, she will reach out,” said 26-year-old Corbin. Schwartz sends Corbin the instrumental music and lyr- ics, and then she creates and records the melody for the song. “I would never have thought of that for myself. It would be a dream to all of a sudden hear yourself when you’re watching TV,” said Corbin. Folk music is usually the genre Corbin sings in her band Two Crows for Comfort, but she said it was nice to sing something outside her normal. The new single can be found on music streaming plat- forms under Suschwa. Schwartz can be contacted at sus- chwamusic.com and @suschwamusic on Instagram and Facebook. 10 The Stonewall Teulon Tribune Thursday, March 25, 2021 Local fi re departments receive provincial grants By Jennifer McFee niques, he added.

But that’s the case for Kerigan Dow- hy. Dowhy recently completed her fourth season with the Bemidji State University Beavers women’s hockey team. But the NCAA is allowing seniors another year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dowhy is one of four out of nine seniors that has decided to come back to Bemidji State for another year. She is really excited for next season. “We have fi ve incoming freshmen and they all seem pretty great,” said Dowhy, whose family lives in Stone- wall. “They come from really good Kerigan Dowhy programs and I’ve heard a lot of great things from them.
