Councillor requests Municipal Auditor Don McCormick wants Municipal Auditor to look at flume project C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The City of Kimberley is going to take a closer look at just what it might cost to have the Municipal Auditor General examine the way it handles projects.

At Council on Monday evening, Coun. Don McCormick moved that the City CAO be directed to request the services of the Municipal Auditor General specifically around the flume project. This came just after a vote by Council to proceed with the flume project now that funding from the provincial and federal government had come through (see related story this page).

McCormick told Council that he had been researching some of the municipal audits already completed by Auditor General Basia Ruta, and said that they were uncovering and providing valuable feedback on ways communities could save money on big projects.

“It’s not a witch hunt. It’s not blame.

It’s looking at ways we can improve,” McCormick said.

However, cost was an issue Council wanted to know more about. Coun.

Bev Middlebrook asked what having the Auditor General in would cost the City.

PHASES TWO AND THREE

Flume to be completed in 2015 C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Kimberley City Council voted Monday evening to proceed with the final two phases of the Mark Creek flume project, utilizing the $2,068,582 provided by the provincial and federal governments, and providing a further $1.4 million from the City.

The resolution states that the remaining portion of the project should cost no more than

$3,468,161.

The City has already spent $3.3 million on the first phase.

The entire project will come in at $6.7 to $6.8 million, Mayor Ron McRae said.

Coun. Jack Ratcliffe said there was still a shortfall of some $250,000, but with the 20 per cent contingency built in to the project, as well as having sourced a better price on rock (which was the major overrun in phase one) it should be made up. If not, Rat-

markets

cliffe said, the city would borrow the money through short term borrowing.

A report by the City’s Manager of Operations Mike Fox detailed the history of the project: • Fall 2011 the City amended the financial plan to allocate $245,000 to engage a design and engineering consortium to develop plans for the Mark Creek Flume Flood Management and Stream Rehabilitation Project (the Project).

Saturday May 31st, June 7th & 14th 9am - 1pm at 1114 Baker Street, Cranbrook

• Winter 2011/2012 borrowing authority and public assent for the full estimated cost of the Project was secured at $4.25M; this was in recognition of the need for immediate action, but the intent was never to “go it alone”. Public meetings were held and the community was told the City hoped to secure grant funding for 2/3, resulting in an estimated property tax increase of 1.05% for all assessment classes.

Woman assaulted walking alone in Cranbrook SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

A woman was randomly assaulted in Cranbrook early on Saturday, May 24, RCMP are reporting.

According to an alert issued by RCMP on Saturday, the woman was walking home alone from downtown Cranbrook between 2 a.m. and 2:20 a.m. on May 24.

She was walking down 2nd Street North towards the college when three aboriginal females approached her and started punching her, the RCMP said. She was able to get away with minor injuries and phone police.

“The Cranbrook RCMP would like to remind the public of the safety concerns of walking alone during the night and recommend always walking in pairs or calling a sober driver or taxi cab,” said Cpl. Hrehirchuk.

RCMP is seeking the public’s assistance to locate the three women responsible for the assault. If you have any information that could help, contact the Cranbrook detachment at 250-489-3471 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Flume project to proceed in 2015 From Page 1 The community was also told the tax increase would be 3.14% on all assessment classes if no grant funding was received.

• Fall 2012 - Phase One of the Project was undertaken, and the bottom third of the flume was replaced to mitigate critical failure points and preserve public safety.

• Grant funding to support the costs of the Project has been sought from multiple sources since 2010, including an unsuccessful application to the 2012 Federal Gas Tax Infrastructure Program.

• Spring 2013 - over 200mm of rain was received in Southeastern BC within 48 hours; major flooding and road washouts were experienced up and down the Columbia Valley, the Elk Valley, and throughout Southern Alberta; the replaced element of the flume performed well and Kimberley avoided the catastrophic flooding experienced by many other communities (See Appendix 1,

photo 4).

• Summer 2013 significant undermining and erosion due to high Spring flows was noted at the joint between the existing flume and the redeveloped bottom third, highlighting the urgent need to complete the Project There has been three funding applications to date: Flood Protection Program - Fall 2011 – informed that the funding was oversubscribed and to wait for the new program Gas Tax Funding April 2012 - $3.65M grant request plus city cost land of $600,000 = total project $4.25 million Flood Protection Program - Fall 2013 – applied for $3.63M on $6.64M project (applied for monies spent to date of application as well) – told to revise application because grant would not pay for $3.1 already spent, revised application for $2.07M on $6.82M project – grant announced May 2/14.

Shadow Mountain reborn as River’s Crossing Barry Coulter

A troubled development within City of Cranbrook limits, sitting on the banks of the St. Mary River, is in full rejuvenation mode.

The property formerly known as Shadow Mountain has been purchased

by Westpoint Capital, an Edmonton investment fund manager. And Westpoint has invited the public to a pair of open houses at the site — now known as River’s Crossing — this upcoming weekend, Friday and Saturday.

Earlier this year, the adjacent golf course was purchased by an Edmonton-based oil and gas company.

Among who will be in attendance at this weekend’s open house will be Westpoint Chief Executive Officer Munir Virani, who spoke to the Townsman on Monday about River’s Crossing.

“It’s a great opportunity and we’re really excited about it,” Virani said. “We think it’s great news for Cranbrook as well, to finally get some certainty about what’s happening with their ‘northern border’ of the city.”

On Friday, May 30, at 4 p.m., a ribbon-cutting ceremony will officially launch Westpoint’s involvement with the development.

“Our sales centre has been open, but this will be our official opening of the sales centre,” Virani said. “And we’ll be officially announcing to the community that we have purchased the development and are open for business.”

He said the original vision of Shadow Mountain remains sound. “It continues to have strong, attractive draws to anyone who wants to live in an area that has the amenities you want, to live the life you need, but have the beautiful mountains, the river, the ponds, the golf course — It’s just a very rich place to live in terms of lifestyle,” Virani said.

Currently 47 lots have been sold in the development, Virani said, with 10 houses built and residents living on the property. “So this is not something that’s starting from scratch. This is something where there was a lot of

Earlier this year, Shadow Mountain Golf Course was purchased by an Edmonton-based oil and gas company. Now another Edmonton company has purchased the residential side of the development. momentum, there was a lot of interest.

“All that’s required here is to pick up where people left off, and finish what was started. To create a blended community with a lot of different housing types to ensure that we have ongoing value for the community, that it’s sustainable, so builders have confidence they can build houses there, so residents can have confidence that they can live there.”

He added that the original development was beset by considerable bad luck.

“There were two things that hit the region very hard — the economic downturn of 2008 and 2009, and the introduction of the harmonized sales tax in B.C. in 2010.

“This development itself had impeccable timing in terms of the worst timing possible,” Virani said.

“They actually had generated a significantly more sales than the 47 lots that were actually sold. But then they had to make commitments to finish off certain servicing that they were unable to do. They essentially ran out of cash during the downturn.

“And on top of that, the whole GST/HST/PST

issues that went full circle, and came back to something that makes a lot more sense now. That experience happened at the same time. It was like the development got hit with two negative blows at the same time.”

Virani said the economy is a lot stronger — the Alberta economy especially so — and there are a lot of Albertans interested in moving to Cranbrook and looking at that type of development.

“We feel that the fundamentals are back in place to take this development to the next stage.”

The City of Cranbrook extended its bounderies in 2007 to include the Shadow Mountain property. Westpoint Capital has been working closely with the City of Cranbrook to move things forward, Virani said.

“Before we even purchased the development, we went and sat down with City Council. We told them of our intentions, we asked them what their concerns were, we asked them what the issues were with the development, we asked them if we went forward with it how would they see this happening and would they be cooperative with us.”

Virani added that the City’s Chief Admininstrative Officer, Wayne Staudt, was very helpful and welcoming.

“He was concerned, obviously, that he wants the development to move forward in responsible hands. And once he understood that we have the capital and financial backing to do what we say we’re going to do, he was very pleased to work with us. “The City’s engineering department has been working with our people in terms of troubleshooting all the issues — there are some legacy issues with the development — and we have plans in place, cooperatively with the City, that will attack each one of those problems and solve them.”

Whereas the residential development has undergone a name change, the golf course remains Shadow Mountain Golf Course, which is owned and operated by Denille Industries Ltd, of the Auburn Group.

“One of the things the old owners did right was they put in a world class golf course there,” Virani said. “It is breathtaking — some of the views from the golf course and the elevated tee boxes are

phenomenal. The owner of Denille Industries purchased the golf course in part because he had golfed there and fell in love with the course.

“So we have been working cooperatively with them since they purchased the course, and things look really strong from a relationship point of view. We view it as a win-win partnership.

We’re working very well together.”As well as the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, May 30, and Open House and Family Fun Day is scheduled for Saturday, May 31, from 2 p.m. To 6 p.m. The public is invited to come out an meet the River’s Crossing team, enjoy a barbecue, and have a chance to win a free golf and dinner draw. There will be activities for people of all ages.

River’s Crossing and the Shadow Mountain Golf Course are 10 kilometres north of Cranbrook down Highway 95A, just before the McPhee Bridge.

Councillor requests Auditor General From Page 1 “We have a project that has gone over $2 million over budget, and we’re worried about the cost of the Auditor General?” McCormick said.

“Still it would be nice to know,” Middlebrook said.

Mayor Ron McRae said he would prefer the audit be higher level rather than looking at just one specific project.

“I think it shouldn’t look at just the flume but a history of all projects. There will be a cost to the taxpayer, so be prepared.”

It was pointed out that a previous audit in Rossland had taken six months for the first phase.

McCormick said that Rossland was a tougher case as there had to be some real searching for information that was not readily available. He also said as he understood it the Auditor General preferred to look at specific projects.

“I’d like to know a little more about what it might entail around staff time and resources,” said Coun. Kent Goodwin, although he did say he supported the idea. “It could be very useful but if it ties up staff for six months the benefits may not be worth it.”

“I’d like to know about costs as well,” said Coun. Darryl Oakley.

“But I think there could be huge cost savings.

There might be some processes that we are missing. I’d like to see both higher level and specifics.”

“We have a project that has gone over $2 million over budget, and we’re worried about the cost of the Auditor General?”

Don McCormick Coun. Jack Ratcliffe said he’d prefer more information on costs. “I think it will be very expensive. It’s a project in itself, it may even require extra staff.”

Council decided to defer the decision and requested CAO Scott Sommerville to inquire about costs.

Later McCormick told the Bulletin that an audit had three potential outcomes.

“One, we are doing things well; two, we need to make improvements to our best practices; or three, there are major things that need to be fixed.”

Kimberley’s newest festival, the week-long Kimberley Kaleidoscope arts and culture festival, will kick off August 3 with a family picnic in Rotary Park that will feature music, magic, and children’s games and races. The festival’s organizing committee invites residents and visitors to come to the park from 12 noon to 3 p.m. that Sunday afternoon to enjoy the free entertainment and children’s activities. Food vendors on site will provide a variety of picnic lunch choices.

The Kimberley Kaleidoscope festival is the brainchild of Kimberley Arts Council.

The festival will expand upon last year’s Arts on the Edge festival which was preceded by a midweek poetry and prose event and a series of short workshops. It will combine the First Saturday arts, culture, and heritage celebration planned for August 2014 with the 2014 Arts on the Edge festival on the second Saturday in August. The arts council board believed that, given the demise of Kimberley Summer Theatre and KIOTAC, a new week-long community festival was

And so a committee was struck, the new festival title was adopted, thanks to a suggestion

by David Biggs of Mark Creek Lions, and a series of entertainments and workshops was planned for the six days between the two Saturday festivals.

Therefore, following hot on the heels of the First Saturday celebrations on August 2, which will conclude with a concert by Cod Gone Wild on the outdoor stage alongside

Centre 64 on Saturday evening, the Kimberley Kaleidoscope festival will continue the entertainment in Rotary Park on Sunday afternoon with sing along music provided by the popular Kimberley group, Old Spice, and magical entertainment provided

by The Amazing Jeremy, a young magician from Invermere who has been making a name for himself at events in the region.

In addition to being entertained, the younger members of the audience can participate in traditional pastimes such as egg and spoon races, sack races, and 3-legged

races.

In the week to follow events will include a painting demonstration with wine & cheese and a Walkabout Wordsmyths poetry and prose, piano and flute performance, both at Centre 64; a vertical dance performance on the outer wall of Spirit Rock climbing centre by Trina Rasmusen and students; a gala reception with silent auction, art awards, and jazz quartet at Centre 64; the Arts on the Edge adjudicated exhibition in the Gallery at Centre 64; two plein air painting workshops, a textiles workshop, and a

lantern-making workshop & parade. The festival will conclude with a Saturday afternoon of music and dance in the Platzl and on the outdoor stage at Centre 64, a Kids Zone offering children’s crafts and entertainment on Deer Park Avenue, artisan demos and an artisan market in the Platzl, food vendors and an evening concert with The Boom Booms on the outdoor stage at Centre 64. Details of these events will appear in future articles in this newspaper.

The parents of the monster Sally MacDonald

“Should I have known?”

That’s the question that will forever haunt the parents of young men who commit mass murder.

Elliot Rodger. Matthew de Grood. Adam Lanza.

Aside from the horrible atrocities that they committed — and the mental illness dogging them all — these three young men have something else in common: parents who love them.

Parents who once changed their dirty diapers, took them to school, did their laundry, taught them to drive. Parents who wanted their sons to grow into happy, successful men.

Parents who didn’t know until it was too late what was going on inside their son’s mind.

On Saturday, 22-year-old Elliot Rodger killed six people in Santa Barbara, California. Three were his housemates, three others were people he drove past on the street.

Then he turned his gun on himself.

The day before the massacre, Elliot emailed a vicious manifesto to his therapist. That therapist phoned Elliot’s mother.

She went to her son’s YouTube channel and saw a disturbing video that talked more about his plans to kill people.

Unable to reach their son, Elliot’s parents jumped into their car and started driving to Santa Barbara, where Elliot attended university.

By the time they got there, it was too late.

Last month, Matthew de Grood, also 22 years old, went to a house party in Calgary and stabbed five of his friends to death. He fled the scene but was quickly captured by the police. He is being held in a psychiatric

facility awaiting court proceedings.

The night of the attacks, his parents, one a police inspector, received disturbing text messages from their son. Unable to reach him, they too began desperately driving through the city, convinced that Matthew was going to hurt himself.

Again, they were too late.

In December 2012, Adam Lanza, 20, shot his mother to death in her bed, then drove to Sandy Hook Elementary School, where he killed 20 children and six adults, before killing himself.

Two months ago, Adam’s surviving parent, his father Peter, spoke about his son for the first time to reporter Andrew Solomon for a feature in the New Yorker.

When Adam was young, Peter described his son as a “normal, weird kid”.

Adam was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome at age 13, and his behaviour began to get more and more strange from that point onwards.

Two years before the Sandy Hook shootings, Adam, whose parents were divorced, shut down communication with his father. Numerous attempts to contact his son fell on deaf ears.

On the day of the massacre, Peter Lanza was at work when he noticed colleagues clustered around a television watching footage of Sandy Hook. At first, Peter just remarked that his sons had gone to school there. Then, when reports mentioned that the suspects were brothers, a 20-year-old and a 24-year-old (Ryan Lanza was later cleared; Adam had been carrying his brother’s ID), Peter grew concerned.

He went home and found a reporter on his driveway. Rushing inside, he phoned his second wife and said, over and over again, “It’s Adam, it’s Adam.”

Peter said the boy had never before shown violent tendencies.

Now Peter is haunted by what his son did, saying that not an hour goes by that it doesn’t cross his mind, and recognizing that if he could have, Adam would have killed him too.

This loving, ordinary father, who used to spend hours building Lego with his young son and take him on hiking trips, now wishes his son had never been born.

Can you imagine the torment a parent has to go through to reach that point?

Peter Lanza spoke out, not to satisfy the insatiable quest for explanation from the public, but because he hopes that in talking about Adam’s troubled life, other parents might recognize something amiss in their own child.

“I want people to be afraid of the fact that this could happen to them,” he says.

Every parent makes dozens of decisions about their child every day — some good decisions, some bad.

The idea that parenting alone can have a significant impact on the murderous actions of a grown-up man is unfair and cruel.

The uncomfortable truth is that even people who grow up in middle-class homes with loving, doting parents can commit horrible crimes.

It’s natural when these atrocities happen for society to look for ways to prevent them in the future — and this is a noble pursuit. Gun control, better diagnosis and treatment of mental illness, enhanced security in schools — yes, let’s change it all.

But blaming parenting is not a valid justification.

Bandits get rough treatment in Medicine Hat TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

It’s safe to say the Bandits had a tough weekend.

Heading up to Medicine Hat for a trio of games against the Knights, the Bandits ran into some trouble, losing 7-4 and 9-0 on Saturday, and dropping a 14-1 decision on Sunday.

For their first outing, the Knights took a 4-0 lead at the bottom of the fourth inning and added three more runs in the sixth. The Bandits scored a trio of runs in the sixth as well, and tallied another in the seventh.

The Gericks Wasa Triathlon attracts all kind of competitors from the tall to the small as organizers prepare for the 21st annual event, which is two weeks away.

Registration open for Wasa triathlon TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

With the Gerick Sports Wasa Triathlon fast approaching, organizers are preparing for the 21st annual instalment of the event, which has morphed from a competition featuring elite athletes to a family-friendly festival atmosphere.

Starting out at 90 serious triathletes many years ago, over 1,000 competitors are now showing up to test their endurance.

And it’s not just the adults that come out, but young kids 4-15 years old now make up roughly one-third of the participants, running a special course with shortened distances.

“The event attracts families from all over B.C., Alberta and Northwest USA. The growth in recent years has been led by the number of young triathletes coming with

their families,” said Charlie Cooper, the race director with RM Events.

“We are proud to cater for all ages with the first event day being dedicated to support our younger competitors.”

The triathlon kicks off on Saturday, June 14th with the kids portion of the event, which mimics the adult event, complete with drink stations, timing chips and professional race announcer Steve King on the microphone to call in the runners as they cross the finish line, followed by a catered lunch with a free t-shirt.

“We want these young triathletes to love the sport, experience the competition, but above all, it’s about the participation and having a fun weekend with the family.

All of the TriKids receive proper orienteering and the necessary preparation to make it a memorable and fun experience.

The kids event is also a qualifier for the B.C. Summer Games in July.

After the kids have their fun, the adults get their chance to strut their stuff the next day on Sunday, with sprint and olympic distances for individuals and relay teams.

Racers start on the shores of Wasa Lake for the swim before hitting Highway 95/93 for most of the bike and wrapping it up with a run throughout the network of Wasa Lions Club trails.

Though the natural beauty of the race setting is a major draw for competitors, the prize money is pretty good as well, added Cooper, with over $4,500 doled out to the top five overall finishers in the men’s and women’s categories.

Registration closes on June 12 and anyone interested can sign up online at www. rmevents.com.

Habs hold on for wild 7-4 win over Rangers BILL BEACON Canadian Press

MONTREAL - Rene Bourque scored three goals as the Montreal Canadiens chased goalie Henrik Lundqvist and defeated the New York Rangers 7-4 on Tuesday to stave off elimination in the NHL Eastern Conference final.

The Rangers, who lead the best-of-seven series 3-2, will have another chance to book a trip to the Stanley Cup

final in Game 6 on Thursday night in New York.

Alex Galchenyuk, Tomas Plekanec and Max Pacioretty also scored for Montreal, which outshot the Rangers 28-27.

Derek Stepan, playing with a guard on his helmet to protect a broken jaw suffered from a Brandon Prust hit in Game 3, returned to the lineup to score twice for the Rangers. Chris

Kreider had a goal and three assists and Rick Nash also scored.

At 10:41 of the third, Rangers defenceman John Moore was given a major penalty and was ejected for a blindside, open ice hit on Dale Weise that was almost identical to Prust’s hit on Stepan. Weise was wobbly when he got up and went for treatment, but returned to the bench late in the period.

It was a night of

strange bounces and spotty goaltending, even if New York’s best chance of the game saw Carl Hagelin’s shot stopped by the end of Dustin Tokarski’s stick midway through the first period.

Lundqvist was pulled in favour of Cam Talbot after allowing four goals on 18 shots, while Tokarski stayed in despite allowing four on his first 14.

The Rangers did a good job of cancelling

the initial rush Montreal gets from its pre-game buildup in winning the opening two games of the series, but Ginette Reno’s O Canada worked to plan this time.

Notes: Canadiens defenceman Alexei Emelin, who appears to have been playing on bad knee, sat out with an undisclosed injury. With eight playoff goals, Bourque is only one short of his total in 63 regular season games.

PAGE 7

Cedar Kemp, Ryotara Yukawa and Devon Marra each had an RBI, while Kemp, Marra, Brenden Bird and Kei Chlopan scored. Brandon Ouilette had the hot bat, hitting three singles to first base.

Marra handled most of the pitching duties, throwing for six strikeouts, while Chlopan

also briefly got on the mound.

The two teams had a rematch right away, and the Knights scored early with a pair of runs in the first and second innings for a 4-0 lead. Medicine Hat scoured four more in the fourth inning and added a single in the fifth—all the while keeping the Bandits off the scoreboard.

The Cranbrook team only made three hits, which came from Bird, Kemp and Tyler Thorn.

Conner Armstrong shared pitching duties with Ouilette and Chlopan. Between the three of them, the Knights were able to make seven hits.

The Knights came to play in their final game of the triple-header on Sunday morning, scoring six runs in the first inning and eight in the third on the way to a 14-1 win.

Armstrong scored the only run for the Bandits off a sacrifice fly from Ouilette in the third inning.

The Bandits are back at it this weekend when they return to the U.S. for games in Libby against the Loggers and the Whitefish Glacier Twins.

Thunder get past Spurs 105-92 to tie series CLIFF BRUNT Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY Russell Westbrook had 40 points and 10 assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the San Antonio Spurs 105-92 on Tuesday night to tie the Western Conference finals at two games apiece.

It matched the second-highest playoff point total of Westbrook’s career, falling short of the 43 he scored in the 2012 NBA Finals. He also had five rebounds and five steals.

“I think I did all right.

Coming out with a win is most important,” Westbrook said in a postgame interview with TNT. “I just try to come out and give maximum effort. My teammates ask that of me and that’s what I try

to do on both ends of the floor.”

Kevin Durant added 31 points on 11-for-22 shooting. It was his highest-scoring game of the series after the NBA’s leading scorer was held to a 22.7-point average in the first three games.

Serge Ibaka added nine points and eight rebounds for the Thunder, who have turned around the series since he returned from an injury that was expected to keep him out for the rest of the post-season.

Boris Diaw had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Tony Parker added 14 points for the Spurs, who blew a 2-0 lead against the Thunder in this round two years ago and are in danger of doing it again.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My 95-year-old father, “Fred,” lives on his own, far away from his three children. Until now, Dad has been in good health, even still driving. My siblings and I have been trying to convince Dad to move near one of us so we can care for him, but he refuses.

Dad has a girlfriend, “Gina,” whom he met right after Mom died seven years ago. Gina is 20 years younger than Dad. At first, it was companionship that kept them together, but recently, Gina is more of a caregiver. Dad is increasingly dependent on this woman and seems unable to make a decision without consulting her first. (They do not live together.)

We see Dad’s health deteriorating, both mentally and physically, and don’t think he is getting the basic care he needs. How do we get him to give up Gina and come live with one of us? Are we doing the right thing to even ask it of him? We just worry we aren’t doing our best for our father. What do you think? -- Confused Daughter Dear Confused: We think you are caring children who want what’s best for your father, but it can be traumatizing and frightening to move to a new city, especially at the age of 95. Dad has been with Gina for seven years and is undoubtedly quite attached to her. She is trying to care for him, but this is a big job.

Making these decisions and knowing when Dad is no longer capable of doing so on his own may require professional assistance.

We suggest you pay an in-person visit to Dad as soon as possible and assess the situation.

Does he need a housekeeper? A full-time caregiver? If he cannot afford in-home services, could you move him to a continuing care facility near Gina? Are there day-care facilities nearby? Would Dad visit you for an extended stay, perhaps becoming familiar with your neighborhood and less resistant to relocating? Contact the Eldercare Locator (eldercare.gov) at 1-800-677-1116 or a private geriatric care manager (caremanager. org) to help you figure out the best plan for Dad. Dear Annie: My twin girls were born 10 weeks premature. They are now 7 months old, so we are getting out more. I understand that people want to coo at babies, and my girls always respond with beautiful smiles.

However, touching a baby’s hands can transmit illnesses, as babies frequently put their hands in their mouths. This has happened in church, groceries and doctors’ offices.

I don’t want to be rude and ask well-meaning strangers not to touch my daughters, but I also do not want them to get sick. A minor illness to an adult could be life-threatening to a preemie. Please tell your readers that we are happy to stop and chat, but touching any baby should be avoided. -- Proud Mom in Lincoln, Ill. Dear Mom: It is not rude to protect your children, and it can be done politely. Simply say with a smile, “I’d appreciate it if you didn’t touch the twins. They are prone to illness. Thanks so much for understanding.”

You also can keep a hand sanitizer nearby.

Dear Annie: My former husband and I did not have sex. I was trim, fit and attractive.

He lost interest despite my efforts to involve him, including counseling. I finally decided life was too short, and we divorced. My second husband and I had a wonderful sex life until he died. I am now on the “post” side of menopause, and I still want sex.

To the women who avoid sex with their husbands, do them a favor and let them go.

You want a roommate, and he wants a life partner. -- Still Like Sex Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Mom of abducted day-old baby thanks social media for helping find infant

Andy Bl atchford Canadian Press

MONTREAL — The mother of a day-old infant snatched from a Quebec hospital says she’s grateful to everyone who helped bring home her baby — especially the group of people who used social media to hunt down the alleged kidnapper.

Police issued an Amber Alert on Monday night after the newborn was abducted from the mother’s hospital room in Trois-Rivieres by a woman allegedly wearing scrubs and posing as a nurse.

The alert, which included a security-camera photo of the suspect and a description of her car, was splashed across

Facebook

Simon Boisclair posted this family photograph to Facebook taken with baby Victoria and mother Melissa McMahon at home. The caption said, “Here is baby Victoria, in her home and SAFE.” mainstream and social media within minutes.

Four young locals wasted little time picking up the cause and guided police to the

woman’s home, where officers found the baby safe and sound three hours later. Police also arrested a woman in her early 20s in connection

with the kidnapping.

“Every click, every share made the difference,’’ Melissa McMahon, the infant’s mother, wrote Tuesday in a post on her Facebook page.

“Four marvellous people, whom we had the chance to meet, identified this woman thanks to Facebook ...

We felt a huge amount of support from the public. This victory is for you, too!!!’’

The online detectives who helped find baby Victoria were identified as Charlene Plante, Marc-Andre Cote, Sharelle Bergeron and Melizanne Bergeron.

Melizanne Bergeron told reporters Tuesday in Trois-Rivieres that she came across the in-

formation about the kidnapping on Facebook and showed the photo of the suspect to her friend Plante, who realized the woman was her neighbour.

She said they spotted the vehicle described in the alert parked outside the building, saw signs that someone was inside and called police.

Officers, she added, arrived on the scene quickly and broke down the woman’s door.

“Thirty seconds after, the baby was in the hands of the police,’’ said Melizanne Bergeron, who touched Victoria as the officer cradling her walked past.

Plante told reporters they went with police to

the hospital, where McMahon and her spouse, Simon Boisclair, asked to meet the people who had helped rescue Victoria.

“The mother was crying and she was very happy,’’ said Plante, who received hugs and kisses in exchange for her sleuth-like work.

McMahon, who also thanked hospital staff, police, the media and the public for helping find Victoria, called those hours without her infant the worst of her life.

“The powerlessness we felt in this situation was difficult to accept,’’ wrote McMahon, who said she sprinted after the woman toward the hospital exit after sens-

ing something was wrong.

McMahon said patients and visitors near the door provided information about the suspect and her vehicle, described in the Amber Alert as a red Toyota Yaris hatchback with a “Baby on Board’’ sticker on the rear window.

Quebec provincial police Sgt. Claude Denis said it was too early to say whether the suspect would be arraigned Tuesday.

McMahon urged parents to check a nurse’s badge and to always ask questions.

She told the 98.5 FM radio station the suspect told her she needed to take Victoria to be weighed.

Edmonton’s Granny Gaga makes Lady Gaga cry at backstage meeting Tim Cook Canadian Press

EDMONTON — It was enough to make an 86-year-old Edmonton lady gaga.

Inez Whitfield got the thrill of a lifetime when she was called backstage to meet pop music superstar Lady Gaga after a concert Monday night.

Dubbed “Granny Gaga’’ because of her fondness for the singer,

the retired teacher had planned months ago to attend her second Gaga show.

Her daughter Kendra said her mother has been a fan of Gaga’s since seeing the singer on “The Oprah Winfrey Show’’ years ago.

“She knows good music when she hears it and she loves what Gaga stands for ... being creative and outrageous and not giving a flying

Inez Whitfield, AKA ‘Granny Gaga,’ met her idol Monday night in Edmonton. fig what anyone thinks of you,’’ Whitfield’s daughter said.

But, in the weeks before the concert, Whitfield’s plans to attend were put in jeopardy when major surgery forced her into hospital.

Media picked up on efforts to get Whitfield to the concert and those reports made their way to Lady Gaga.

Whitfield managed to make it to Rexall Place on Monday with special permission from her caregivers.

As Kendra wheeled her mother out of the arena to a cab before the encore, two security guards chased them

down and took them backstage for an audience with the megastar.

Kendra says the two spoke for about five minutes. Whitfield told Gaga about how she was born in New York and then moved to Canada as a school teacher.

“They talked about growing up in Brooklyn and Mom told Gaga ... something about ‘you’re a dream in my heart’ and she made Gaga cry.’’

They posed for some photos and Gaga gave them some cash to pay for their cab ride home.

Whitfield was already an hour past the curfew hospital staff had given her.
