Take the Tranquille Tunnel Tours experience
The tunnel tours are back! This year, you’re invited to participate in
an hour-long moon lit 1914 love story, set against the magical land-
scape of the Tranquille King Edward Sanatorium, its mysterious un-
derground village and tunnel system.
From the chaos of WW1 trench warfare to the haunting peacefulness
of Tranquille a love story arose.
Nat Nesbith, a First World War lieutenant, and Mary Ferguson, a
nurse in training, meet at the Tranquille Sanatorium in 1914 when
Nat arrives for treatment of his tuberculosis. Their common love of
journalism brings them together as they seek to tell a story authorities
don’t want told through an underground newspaper called “The Tran-
quillian” – this is the story of the Tranquillian Soldier.
Tunnel tour visitors will experience a one-of-a-kind night through the
underground passages that connect the buildings.
The tunnel system was originally constructed to facilitate the deliv-
ery of laundry from the site Laundromat and food from the cafeteria
to patients and staff across the site. Electric carts, called “Tuggers”
were used to pull trailers loaded with food and laundry around. Four
of these carts have been preserved by Tranquille Farm Fresh. In addi-
tion the tunnels were used by patients and staff to move from building
to building. They also served as utility corridors.
Swedish furniture retailer IKEA on Tues.
Sept. 16, issued a global recall of its Gung-
gung children’s swing, saying it poses a risk
of serious injury.
IKEA said it is recalling the product world-
wide because the suspension fi ttings on it “do
not live up to IKEA quality requirements.”
The company said approximately 300 swings
were sold in Canada and approximately 2,000
swings sold in the United States since it went
on sale in Canada from July to August 2014.
Sales were stopped on Aug. 14 after the com-
pany received four reports worldwide, includ-
ing one in Germany, two in Austria and one in
Canada of the suspension fi ttings breaking in
use, of the suspension fi ttings breaking; one
incident involved an eight-year-old boy in Aus-
tria who fell, fracturing his leg in the process.
There have been no reports of injury in Canada.
The GUNGGUNG swing is sold for in-
door and outdoor use by children ages three
to seven years. It’s made of green polyester
fabric and hangs from a plastic suspension fi t-
ting attached to steel hooks. The full length
of the suspension strap, including the sling
seat, is 5.18 m (17 feet) and the width of the
seat is 24.4 cm (0.8 feet). A permanent label
is attached to one of the suspension straps,
showing age recommendation (3-7), IKEA
logo, Design and Quality IKEA of Sweden,
GUNGGUNG article number 302.439.74,
supplier number 17915 and Made in Vietnam.
The swing can be returned to any IKEA store
for a full refund, and proof of purchase is not
required.
For more information, contact IKEA Cana-
da at 1-800-661-9807 anytime or at IKEA’s
website and click on the Recall link at the top
of the page for more information.
Note, the Canada Consumer Product Safety
Act prohibits recalled products from being re-
distributed, sold or even given away in Canada.

tegrated into below ground fl oors of the Sage Building, the Greaves
Hospital, the main building, Laundromat, cafeteria, and other build-
ings. A barbershop, storage rooms, meeting rooms, offi ces, shower
facilities, and morgue are included in the tunnel system.

HoroscopesSeptember 15 - September 21, 2014
Respond to any opportunity connected to leisure, pleasure or enjoy-ment this week. You could meet new people or discover things are taking a new path with those you already know. Be cautious about risk taking, especially if this is based on promises somebody else makes. What seems open now could become rather mysterious.
You would be wise not to rush anything this week. The need to be analytical continues, though perhaps on a different level. You have to learn to trust your own instincts. These will not be correct unless you spend enough time in contemplation. Make a new start with any changes, you know you need to make connected to health.
Your ideas can be well received this week, which you can feel well pleased about. Recommendations or opportunities that seem to follow on can encourage you to take a risk with something new. Where others are involved, you need to ensure that you are not left with greater responsibilities, while they maintain their freedom.
Some sort of turning point can begin to take place this week when it comes to the manner in which somebody else expects to control things. You need to focus on new foundations you want to put into place so that a situation becomes more balanced where you are concerned. Success with this will be an evolving process.
You can feel extremely optimistic about future possibilities this week. This can be attached to increased knowledge. New ideas can emerge as a result of anything you have been applying your mind to this month. Acting too quickly in any area of risk would not be wise as it will encourage you to look at things as you want to see them.
Whatever attention you have been giving to fi nancial matters this month can this week begin to take you down a path of new direc-tion in applying them. This might be connected to a realisation that somebody else is not as reliable as you had previously pre-sumed. Being proactive in decisions that affect you is necessary.
The New Moon this week occurs in your sign, providing you with the opportunity to take yourself down a new path of some descrip-tion. This will likely be connected to something you have been thinking about this month. You may not feel sure about the best way to fi ll in the details when it comes to initiating ideas. Don’t rush.
Creating new directions will be connected to dealing with in-creased obligations by bringing some things to an end. You have to realise this week that streamlining daily activities or routines is the only way you will cope effectively. A certain amount of rest is necessary if you do not want your general health to be affected.
You will want to move forward with anything that concerns you personally this week, but exactly how to do this may not be so clear. Taking out of character risks might be appealing but not necessarily wise. The support within a group of people or from somebody who is in a good position to recommend you will fare better.
There can be a new sense of commitment this week that would be best applied to matters that mean something to you personally, especially when it comes to how you want to see yourself evolve. Concentrate on any areas where you feel there is a lack of clarity. It might be a slow process but you can sort it out with persistence.
Your ideas could rather surprisingly appeal to somebody else this week, though what you need to be aware of is that they will ensure they maintain their freedom in some way. Guard against impulse when it comes to fi nancial matters and especially any long-term commitment. Take a balanced view with new future possibilities.
What somebody else wants from you could begin to take a dif-ferent direction this week. You need to be mindful about how this could alter daily routine as well as any extra commitment this may require from you. This does not necessarily mean you won’t want to go down this path but you must approach it realistically.
Java Mountain News September 19, 20143
It’s the time of year for changes:
the seasons, back to school, new
activities, new jobs. Something
big is on the horizon and it has
my head spinning.
In less than six weeks, my rou-
tine and my workload as a moth-
er, a very supportive wife, and a
woman take on an entirely new
role. I have had to change our
daily/weekly schedules including
get full-time daycare, plan every
meal, rally my girlfriends (who
happen to do my daycare), call
upon neighbours, for afterschool
care, and ensure each waking
minute of my day is accounted
for. . . which reminds me that my
alarm will have to be set to wake
me up an hour earlier. I will have
my hands full, and my brain will
be working overtime.
You see, all this change that
we’ve been bracing ourselves for
comes as my husband has decided
it’s time for a career change, and
will be heading back to school. . .
out of town. It’s temporary, but we
all have to make some sacrifi ces
for our new arrangement.
We have stock-piled our
Airmiles, set up Skype on the
computer and tablets, spoken
freely to the children up the up-
coming, temporary changes in
our house and family, and are
bracing for D-day. It’s a good
thing, a bit of a sucky thing, but
all-in-all, it will be a great thing!
The hardest sacrifi ce made is by
my husband whom will be away
from his home, and his family. Yes,
we will be away from a loving hus-
band, and our children’s devoted
daddy, but at least we will have
each other for those comforting
hugs on lonely nights, and our com-
fortable beds. (I can only imagine
that crap-tastic living arrangement
my husband will have to endure.)
To distract our entire family
from these dreaded changes, we
gave our family something excit-
ing to look forward to: one big
“hurrah” before this change. So,
why not celebrate our family . .
. at the Happiest Place on Earth?
I’ve already got my Mickey ears
packed!
More changes to come
DISNEYLAND BOUND. The
Bibeaus are all
smiles during their
last visit to the

off the penalty. At the conclu-
sion of the penalty, the Blazers

winning goal. Kryski set up De-
ven Sideroff for a one-timer and

The Kamloops Storm are 1-2-
0-0 after the fi rst week of regular
season play in the KIJHL, after
being shut out in their home open-
er against the Summerland Steam,
then splitting a pair of games
against the Sicamous Eagles.
Sat. Sept. 13, saw the Storm
open the season at home and
be soundly trounced 5-0 by the
Steam. The Steam opened the
scoring 5:19 into the game and
led 2-0 after the fi rst period. The
Steam did the rest of their scor-
ing in the middle period, scor-
ing twice in 21 seconds halfway
through the frame then scoring
the fi nal goal with 22 seconds left
on the clock to take the decisive
5-0 shutout win.
After the fourth goal, the Storm
had pulled starting goaltender
Bailey De Palma, who stopped six
of the ten shots he faced, for Kol-
by Pauwels, who stopped 14 of
the 15 shots he faced in the game.
It was a different story for the
Storm on Sunday, as they faced
the Sicamous Eagles in the fi rst
of a pair of games in the week.
Felix Larouche got a hat trick
and an assist and Ryan Keis
scored a pair and a helper on their
way to an 8-0 shutout win over
the visiting Eagles.
Keis opened the scoring 14:10
into the game then Larouche
made it 2-0 4:15 later. Cole Mer-
rick gave the Storm a 3-0 lead
with 55 seconds remaining in
the fi rst period. Addison Bazian
scored 11:50 into the second pe-
riod before Keis made it 5-0 1:50
later. This goal led to a goalten-
der change by the Eagles as they
pulled starting goalie Logan Ed-
wards in favour of Liam Banks.
Brett Watkinson scored on the
power play 1:17 later to take a 6-0
lead after 40 minutes. Larouche
scored a couple power play goals
10 minutes apart in the fi nal frame
as the Storm clipped the Eagles’
wings in the 8-0 shutout win.
De Palma was stellar between
the pipes stopping all 24 shots he
faced for the shutout.
The Storm travelled to Sicamous
for the rematch Tues. Sept. 17, in
what turned out to be a close game
as the Eagles squeaked out a win.
The Eagles opened the scor-
ing 15:15 into the fi rst period to
take a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes.
The Eagles took a 2-0 lead 3:39
into the second period before the
Storm got on the scoreboard 2:41
later with a goal by Ian Chrystal.
The Eagles got that goal back 10
minutes later on a power play
goal to take a 3-1 lead into the
dressing rooms after 40 minutes.
The Eagles lengthened their lead
with a pair of goals 3:32 apart
just 48 seconds into the third
frame before Ian Chrystal scored
a pair of goals with 8:35 and 0:12
remaining to get within one goal,
but it was too little too late as the
Eagles held on for the 4-3 win.
The Storm continue their road
trip this weekend, in Nelson
to take on the Leafs Sat. Sept.
20, then to Spokane to face off
against the Braves Sun. Sept. 21.

When using a beer kit, keep
these helpful tips handy:
• To keep your brew on track,
create a written brewing schedule
and carefully record the time of
each step.
• Follow instructions provided
and remember to keep your
working area and equipment
sanitized.
• Hops, a key ingredient in beer,
can be poisonous for dogs. Keep
the ingredients and mixture away
from your canine friend.
• Once bottled, store your beer in
a dark, warm, temperature-stable
area for two weeks to allow for
proper carbonation. – NC

Fun loving DIYers who pride
themselves on homemade qual-
ity and craftsmanship are ex-
tending this philosophy to a new
outlet, namely “home brewing.”
Best of all, this philosophy is
also impressing their friends.
Pride in the ability to create
their own signature craft beer
combined with easy-to-use at-
home beer kits plus the soaring
popularity of craft beer, is pro-
pelling many Canadians to cre-
ate their own signature
brews.
“Today there are a
variety of beer-making
kits available that re-
duce the guess work
and time requirements
for making beer from
scratch,” said Gavin
Hawthorne of Brew-
er’s Best Canada, a
leading name in this
fi eld. “Our company
offers a true, craft beer
making experience.
The kit comes com-
plete with instructions
plus all of the ingredi-
ents you need to make
a great tasting beer
such as India Pale Ale
or Gluten Free Ale.”
Home brewing is easy, but
people should follow the in-
structions carefully, according to
Hawthorne. The biggest mistake
people make when brewing is
not properly cleaning and sani-
tizing the equipment, bottles,
and utensils before use.
“You wouldn’t bake a cake
with dirty dishes, and the same
goes for making beer,” he re-
lated. – NC

With back-to-school promotions in the rear-view mirror, retailers
are already looking for ways to promote their brands for the holidays.
Last Wednesday, Wal-Mart released its second annual Chosen by
Kids Top 20 Toys List – a list it hopes will get parents spending on the
troubled toy category, and help it identify hot items to prevent out-of-
stocks and lost sales.
By putting hundreds of kids between ages 18 months and 12 years
old in a room to play with 80 toys – and then having them vote on
their favourites – the company identifi ed fi ve toy trends ahead of the
holidays:
• Creativity and crafts, such as the Spin Master Sew Cool Sewing
Machine ($34.97) and the Maya Group Make Your Case Cell Phone
Cover Kit ($24.99).
• Licenses, especially for items related to Disney’s “Frozen” and the
TV show “Doc McStuffi ns.”
• Electronic toys, such as the Leapfrog LeapTV gaming system
($149.97) that will be released later this year or the Spin Master Flut-
terbye Light Up Fairy ($39.88).
• Rebooted classic brands, such as Mattel’s Barbie Glam Camper
($83.78) and Hot Wheels Street Remote Control Flying Car ($54.86).
• Scooters and ride-on toys, such as the Razor Crazy Cart Spinning
Go Kart ($349).
Wal-Mart said it would promote the toys through in-store displays
that call them out as chosen by kids, on a landing page on Walmart.
com, and through online, social and print marketing.
