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 fittings 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 fittings breaking in use, of the suspension fittings 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 fit- 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. IKEA recalls children’s swing TUNNEL TOURS see page 2 RECALLED.

Tunnel construction occurred over decades, and eventually was in-
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.

portions over the last 30 thirty years. Come and learn why.

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.

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
