HOMES+ Magazine Issue 181 by Living Local Magazine

Dear

Readers,

EDITOR’S NOTE

As summer gives way to autumn and kids head back to school, life seems to ﬁnd a new rhythm. There’s a bittersweet energy in the air with summer’s end, the return to school routines, and farmer’s markets brimming with the season’s bounty. The vibrant colors and fresh produce at the markets remind us of nature’s abundant gifts.

On a personal note, this season has marked an exciting new chapter for me—I’ve just bought my first trailer! Diving into campground life has been a wonderful adventure, filled with new friendships and a strong sense of community. There’s something truly special about gathering around a campfire and connecting with fellow campers.

As a locally owned publication, we cherish hearing from our readers, admiring the beauty of our local cover home, and collaborating with you on social media. Bringing our community together is what drives us, and we’re thrilled to partner with the best local businesses in our area.

Here’s to embracing seasonal changes, celebrating new experiences, and savouring the simple joys that unite us.

Until next time,

YOUR ESSENTIAL STEPS FOR

CLOSING POOL

Closing your summer pool for the cold months ahead is a crucial task to ensure it remains in good shape through the winter. The first step is to thoroughly clean the pool. Begin by removing any debris such as leaves and twigs with a skimmer net.

Next, brush the sides and bottom of the pool to dislodge algae and other deposits. After brushing, vacuum the pool to collect any remaining debris. It's also important to clean or backwash your pool filter according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure it operates efficiently throughout the season.

Once the pool is clean, you should balance the water chemistry. Use a water test kit to check the levels of pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and chlorine. Adjust these levels as needed to prevent an acidic environment over the winter, algae growth and protect your pool equipment. Ideally, the pH should be between 7.2 and 7.6, alkalinity between 80-120 ppm, calcium hardness between 200ppm-500ppm and chlorine at a minimum level suitable for winterizing.

Adding winterizing chemicals such as algaecide will help prevent algae growth during the off-season, and if your pool plumbing is prone to freezing, consider adding pool antifreeze to protect the lines.

Lowering the water level in the pool is another essential step. Drain the water to just below the returns or according to the level recommended by your pool manufacturer. This helps prevent water from freezing and causing damage to the skimmer and plumbing.

Additionally, remove all pool accessories like ladders and diving boards, and store them in a dry place. Disconnect and drain all hoses, then store them in a location where they won't be exposed to freezing temperatures.

Winterizing the pool equipment involves draining the pump, filter, and heater. For a cartridge filter, remove and clean the cartridge before storing it in a dry place. To prevent freezing and potential damage, use a blower to remove water from the pool's plumbing lines.

Once the pool and its components are prepared, cover the pool with a suitable cover-whether it's solid, mesh, or winter cover. Ensure the cover is securely fastened to prevent it from blowing off or becoming damaged by harsh weather.

Finally, keep an eye on the pool area throughout the fall and winter. Regularly check the pool cover and surrounding area to make sure everything remains intact and that the cover stays secure. By following these steps, you'll ensure that your pool is well-protected and ready for use when summer arrives again.

SCHOOL BACK TO Checklist for Parents

School Supplies and Essentials

When preparing for the new school year, start with the basics to ensure your child is ready. First, check the backpack for any signs of wear and tear or consider purchasing a new one if necessary to ensure it’s durable enough for daily use. Next, verify the school supplies list provided by the school and stock up on essentials such as notebooks, pencils, pens, erasers, folders, and binders to avoid last-minute scrambles. Clean and inspect the lunchbox replacing it if needed to make sure it’s ready for daily meals. Finally, ensure your child has a sturdy, reusable water bottle** to stay hydrated throughout the day.

Clothing and Personal Items

Assess your child’s uniforms or school clothes to confirm they fit properly; buy any additional items if needed. Ensure that shoes are comfortable and appropriate for school activities, and consider getting them checked for a proper fit. Also, gather any necessary outerwear such as jackets and coats to prepare for cooler weather. Lastly, label all clothing and personal items with your child’s name to help prevent loss and mix-ups.

Health and Wellness

To ensure your child is fully prepared for the new school year, start by scheduling and completing any physical exams or required health check-ups. Verify that all vaccinations are up-to-date according to school requirements to avoid any delays. Arrange for any necessary medications, including prescriptions or over-the-counter items, and make sure the school is informed of your child’s medical needs. Additionally, if a dental check-up is due, schedule an appointment to address any potential issues before school starts.

Academic Preparation

Confirm school registration and completing any necessary paperwork or forms. Review your child’s class schedule, teacher assignments, and any special programs to familiarize yourself with their upcoming routine. Set up or refresh a dedicated homework station to provide a focused and organized study area. Finally, make sure to obtain any required textbooks or educational materials to ensure your child is fully equipped for the year ahead.

Emotional and Social Readiness

Take time to discuss expectations with your child, addressing their thoughts, hopes, and any concerns about the upcoming year. Attend open houses or meet-the-teacher events to help both you and your child become familiar with the new teacher and classroom environment. Additionally, start to re-establish a routine by gradually adjusting bedtime and wake-up times to match the school schedule, ensuring a smooth and stress-free transition back to school.

Safety and Emergency Preparedness

Review and update your family’s emergency plan, making sure it’s current and that your child is familiar with it. Discuss essential safety rules with your child, including what to do in various emergency situations and the procedures they should follow if they need to get home on their own.

Family Time and Support

To ensure everything is ready for the new school year, review and confirm that all preparations are in place. Consider celebrating the start with a small event or special treat to set a positive tone for the year ahead. Plan regular check-ins with your child to discuss their school experience and address any issues that may arise. Throughout the transition, provide ample encouragement and support to help your child adjust smoothly to their new routines and challenges.

By following these guidelines, you can help ensure that your child is well-prepared and excited for the new school year, making the transition smoother for everyone involved.

Stratford's LA CAGE AUX FOLLES

A Colourful Celebration of Love, Inclusion and Identity

Written by: Trina Stewart and Alissa McGill

Stratford Festival’s La Cage aux Folles is a lively and touching show about love, family, and being true to yourself. Directed by Thom Allison, this colourful musical by Jerry Herman and Harvey Fierstein is both fun and meaningful.

The story is about Georges and Albin, a gay couple who run a drag nightclub in St. Tropez. Things get complicated when their son, Jean-Michel, gets engaged to the daughter of a strict politician. As Georges and Albin try to look like a traditional family, the show mixes humour with heartfelt moments and impressive performances.

Sean Arbuckle and Steve Ross stand out as Georges and Albin. Arbuckle portrays Georges with charm and humour, while Ross gives a powerful performance as Albin, especially in the song “I Am What I Am.”

The ensemble cast brings extra energy and laughs, and the choreography by Cameron Carver is full of excitement, especially in the lively “La Cage aux Folles” number. The set and costumes, designed by Brandon Kleiman and David Boechler, are vibrant and ﬁtting for the nightclub setting.

Allison’s direction balances the musical’s humor with its touching themes of acceptance and love, making it a highlight of the Stratford Festival.

In short, Stratford’s La Cage aux Folles is an energetic and emotional show that combines comedy, drama, and great music, making it a must-see for both theatre fans and newcomers.

“Life’s not worth a damn, til you can say “Hey World, I am what I am!” - La Cage Aux Folles.

David Beckham’s Single Shroom Pizza

ingredients

8 ounces pre-made raw pizza dough, room temperature

1/4 cup marinara or pizza sauce

Few pinches of red pepper ﬂakes (or as desired)

4 Ounces mozzarella cheese, patted dry to remove excess moisture

1 perfectly grilled chestnut mushroom

Directions

Install the Accessory Frame in the bottom level of the unit, then place the Pizza Stone on top with the ninja logo in the front right corner.

Turn left-hand dial to select PIZZA, then use the right-hand dial to select NEAPOLITAN, and set time to 3 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating (preheating will take approx. 25 minutes).

On a heavily ﬂoured work surface, stretch and toss dough by hand into a 10-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick.

Evenly cover dough with pizza sauce, leaving a ½-inch edge for the crust. Then evenly sprinkle with red pepper ﬂakes and top with sliced mozzarella.

Recently, David Beckham took to social media to share a new video of him crafting the perfect pizza using his Ninja Woodﬁre™ 8-in-1 Outdoor Oven. In a playful nod to the surprising popularity of his recent documentary, where he prepared just one mushroom, the video features Beckham humorously grilling a single chestnut mushroom while preparing and assembling his margherita pizza. True to form, the pizza is completed with just one mushroom after being pulled from the outdoor oven.

When unit is preheated and ADD FOOD and PRS STRT is displayed, open door, slide a ﬂoured Pizza Peel under the pizza and transfer to the hot stone. Close door, select START/STOP, and cook for 3 minutes. If more time is necessary or a darker pizza is desired, increase the time using the right-hand dial.

When cooking is complete, open door and remove pizza with peel. Place a single, perfectly grilled mushroom in the center of the pizza. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
