More funding for site cleanup

City hopes this funding is end of 10-plus year process C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

The Province of British Columbia is handing out another $1.5 million in funding to clean up contaminated land for redevelopment and Kimberley will be the recipient of $26,544.

In Cranbrook, Tembec Inc. will be receiving up to $94,288 to help redevelop the site of their closed sawmill.

The purpose is to assist communities in turning former industrial sites into usable property.

The site in Kimberley is the old Cominco garage site across from Townsite Gro-

Justin Trudeau, Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, got to know the folks of Cranbrook a little better at a meetand-greet event, Sunday, July 21, in Rotary Park.

Trudeau visits Cranbrook Barry Coulter

The leader of the Liberal Party of Canada made a stop in Cranbrook Sunday, July 21, turning Rotary Park into the local political event of the season.

It was less about politics, however, than it was about a summer vacation for Justin Trudeau and his family, in a part of the world that in his

own words is very dear to him and his family.

Trudeau got off a large RV Sunday afternoon to be greeted by Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski, Cranbrook’s youth ambassadors Makenzie Yates and Alicia Leasak and an enthusiastic crowd of more than 150 people. The event was billed as a meet and greet, and

Trudeau graciously waded into the crowd, signing autographs, getting his photo taken — meeting and greeting — before heading over to the bandstand for a quick speech. Trudeau was accompanied by his son Xavier, 6, and daughter Ella Grace, 4. His wife Sophie was feeling under the weather, Trudeau said, and

wouldn’t be joining this particular event. His kids were happy to have a stopover in a park.

After the event, before heading off to Nelson, Trudeau told the Daily Townsman of the emotional connection he and his family have with the Kootenays.

cery, for which the City has been trying for over ten years to get a certificate from the Ministry of Environment to clear it for development.

The City hopes to clear the land for residential development, including a low-cost housing project.

The soil on the garage site has been replaced twice but the entire lot has still not been cleared by the MOE. “As I understand it, we can use portions of the site now — we have a certificate for part of the site,” said Mayor Ron McRae. “The $26,000 is to help us complete the remaining work so that we can seek certification for the remaining parts of the site. We are hopeful that this will be the end but there are no guarantees that in fact this may be the case.”

Man upset by condition of cemetery

Maintenance at Marysville Cemetery concerns resident C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

A Marysville man is upset with the state of the local cemetery.

Mickey MacDonald, whose wife’s parents are interred at the Marysville Cemetery, says that he is appalled by the lack of maintenance.

“There are gopher holes all over the grass — gopher holes on some of the graves,” MacDonald said. “The grass is dying, there are weeds and small trees shooting up.

“It just looks like it’s being completely ignored.

“A lot of people buried in there are pioneers of Marysville. My father-in-law was a Councillor for the village of Marysville. It’s quite upsetting for my wife to see the cemetery in this condition.

“Is this the way we treat our loved ones?”

Ownership of Cranbrook’s historic Armond Theatre is expected to change hands on Monday after a cash offer prompted a court-ordered sale.

Listing agent Brian Burch said the building has been listed for sale since spring 2011 for $299,000, and a cash offer of $245,500 has been received.

Any other interested parties had until Monday, July 22 at 9:30 a.m. to put forward a competing offer.

The building stands out on 10th Avenue, downtown Cranbrook, for its neon sign hanging above the awning and a painted Pepsi advertisement on its exterior side.

When the new Columbia Theatre at Tamarack Mall opened in the late 1990s, the Armond saw dwindling numbers, until it finally closed its doors in 1999.

A restrictive covenant was placed on the building – and remains to this day – that it cannot be used for a public movie house.

The most recent owner, Canadian Rocks Limited, purchased the Armond in 2005 for $250,000. Realtor Brian

Burch said that owner began renovating the property, including replacing the roof, but was unable to finish it.

The Armond was listed for sale again in spring 2011 when the owner was unable to keep up with mortgage payments.

“In this case, the seller and the mortgage company cooperated in the court ordered sale.

In other words they agreed not to contest the sale, so it was congenial,” said Burch.

Only cash offers are considered and the offer must be free of conditions.

Now, a $245,500 cash offer has been received for this piece of Cranbrook history. This triggers a court hearing in Cranbrook Supreme Court on Monday, July 22. All offers must be registered in court before 9:30 a.m. on Monday to be considered by the judge.

The judge will select the highest offer and order the sale, clearing the title in the process.

Burch said the building needs repairs.

“It would cost $200,000 and not a nickel under,” he said.

There are two broken trusses under the roof, which would need to be repaired from inside the building using scaffolding or lifts. Also, a leaking appliance under the roof has damaged the flushing.

“It’s because over the past years politics has become and incredible source of cynicism. Because it’s always easier in politics to divide, to attack, to go negative, to calculate where the most votes are and play to them and ignore anyone who’s not likely to vote for you.

“You can actually get elected with a majority through the politics of division. It becomes very difficult to govern responsibly for the whole of the country and for the longterm interest that we hold, once you’ve got in the habit of division and attacks and negativity.

That’s very much what I’m trying to turn around.”

Before getting back on the RV to head west,Trudeau told the Townsman the trip is about connecting about people and doing a little bit of politicking, “but it’s also about showing my kids an extraordinary part of the world. Its about convincing the folks in Ottawa that, yes, it’s a good idea to let me drive a big honking RV through the Kootenays.

And I’m absolutely loving it — this is what summers are supposed to be all about. Parks and barbecues and smiles — if I can use that to get politics a little more purchase with people in their everyday lives, then that’s what it needs to be.”

There was, of course, some talk of politics.

“This is an opportunity for me to connect with people — not necessarily to talk about Politics with a Big P, but to talk about the challenges we’re facing altogether, and how we’re best going to solve them.”

Trudeau said he couldn’t be in Cranbrook without giving a shout-out to Scott Niedermayer, “who’s been extraordinary over the past while with his activism. Scott is one of those people who’s always focussed on doing the right thing and winning the right way as part of a team, and I’m touched to be in his hometown today.

“That kind of activism that he’s engaged in now, that all of us are engaged in now, comes easy to us. We surround ourselves with beautiful places that we want to protect, we see our kids growing up and we want to make a better world for them.

“This place is extraordinarily special to me,” he said. “It’s the place my brother chose to live his life. We didn’t know he’d leave us at 23, but everytime I come back here I feel close to him. I’ll be in Nelson (Sunday night), and hopefully up to visit him at the lake tomorrow.”

Justin’s youngest brother Michel died in November, 1998, when he was swept by an avalanche into Kokanee Lake in Kokanee Glacier Park. Michel was never recovered from the lake.

“I’m just overwhelmed by the strength of spirit of the people who live here,” Trudeau said. “The friendliness, the welcoming, just the strength of community around here, and how they came together to support my family after we lost our brother.

“But also, in the following years, as I was more and more active with avalanche safety, I got to meet a whole bunch of people who were driven by the same love for mountains and strength of community leaning on each other.”

Bluegrass wizards playing at Lotus What’s Up? “O KIMBERLEY AND CRANBROOK COMMUNITY CALENDAR

Ferdy Bell and

ur band is a source of confusion, sometimes,” admits mandolinist Adrian Gross of Toronto’s internationally-acclaimed bluegrass prodigies The Slocan Ramblers.

“Our bassist Alastair Whitehead spent all his summers in Kaslo with his grandfather, so there’s the Kootenay connection. The ‘Slocan Rambler’ is an old ore mine near Kaslo.

“When the band started in 2009 we were just four young bluegrass musicians with no long-term plans. Our first gig came around, we needed a bandname, Alastair suggested it ... and off we went!”

The natural chemistry and energetic live shows of the Slocan Ramblers have quickly made them the band to watch in Toronto’s thriving acoustic/ roots music scene. They host a weekly residency at the Cloak & Dagger Pub, their debut album “Shaking Down the Acorns” (produced by Andrew Collins of the Creaking Tree String Quartet) has been warmly reviewed in Penguin Eggs magazine, and they received no less than three standing ovations at the Mariposa Folk Festival. And they’re performing live in Cranbrook at Lotus Books the evening of Friday July 26th.

“It’s a very exciting time to be an acoustic roots musician in Toronto,” Gross says. “Many great players around; the scene’s always growing quickly. Lots of young bands flourishing and intermingling with older, established veterans. It’s interesting to hear American bands and realize there’s a de-

Rounded out lineup-wise by guitarist Darryl Poulsen and Frank Evans on banjo, the Slocan Ramblers are certainly earning their growing reputation, which recently hit a high note at this year’s Toronto Jazz Fest, opening for Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers for an audience of 1700 who were all more than happy to hear them, er, ramble. And this being the Slocan Ramblers’ first Canadian tour, we asked Gross how they’re enjoying their ramblings.

“We enjoy it! We’re all close friends, and we’re either room-

mates or neighbours, so we’re used to close quarters. For years now we’ve been performing at least three nights a week, so it’s good to continue the momentum. We work on new material by day on the road and try the ideas live at night. It’s exciting for us and the audience. We hope to make touring a regular occurrence...we’ve hard amazing things about roots music fans out west!”

The Slocan Ramblers are currently working on their new album, as well as video shoots with Jadea Kelly and upcoming tours of the US and Europe.

And when asked what advice the Ramblers have for other

hopeful roots musicians, Gross had this to say: “The best way to get yourselves out there is by playing tons of shows. Play lots of little shows wherever and whenever you can. Get everyone to know your band exists.

That’s half the battle. We did it, and still do. That much playing gets you real tight as a band, and the sheer power of wordof-mouth exposure takes care of a lot of the rest.”

The Slocan Ramblers perform live at Lotus Books (3310th Ave. S., Cranbrook BC) on Friday, July 26; showtime 8 pm.

Local Mormon youth going on a trek Submitted

Starting on July 24, 185 Mormon young women and young men of the Cranbrook Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints orMormon Church will be travelling the back country of Horseshoe Lake of the Cranbrook area for four days.

The young men and women will be taking part in an reenactment of the Mormon pioneers of the 1850’s who walked across the plains of the American west in their search of a new home and religious freedom in the Salt Lake Valley of today’s Utah.

The actual distance was 1,300 miles.

These youth will travel only 18 kilometres, but will experience of the many hardships that their own ancestors did in the 1850s. Dress for the trek will be authentic pioneer clothing as sewn by many of

the youth.

Many adults will be along as well to act as ma’s, pa’s, aunts, uncle’s, grandpa’s and grandma’s. All will be reorganized into new families for the four day trek and encampment. The mode of transportation for the trek will be walking with 15 handcarts used to carry the limited provisions needed for the four-day trek.

No modern conveniences will be permitted.

During the trek, the youth will be involved with many actual duties that their pioneer ancestors had to deal with.

These includes making their own bread, and butter, baking cornbread and biscuits on an open fire, and cooking their evening meals with dutch ovens.

They will also experience visits by the local sheriff, a pony express rider, the native people, and famous Mormon

historical characters. There will be square dancing, firesides, and story telling around the camp fires.

Many hymns will be sung and played on various instruments that the early Mormon pioneers composed and sang on their treks.

In the 1850s, 62,000 Mormons walked across the American plains to the Salt Lake Valley as this was the least expensive way of reaching their new land and future homes.

Many died along the way due to cold, lack of food, sickness, and other hardships. One of the first of these travellers to arrive in today’s Utah in the 1850’s was Brigham Young. He was instrumental in organizing the many treks to the Utah territory.

The youth participating come from the many communities of the East and West Kootenays. Many are descen-

dants of the early Mormon pioneers of the 1850s. Two of the organizers of the event are Jason Mallard of Fort Steele, and his wife, Linnea Mallard also of Fort Steele.

The handcart treks of the 1850s to the Utah territory enabled the Mormon Church to develop and grow. These early treks are an important part of the history of the Mormon Church. Likewise, today’s treks bring to the young people of the Church an understanding of the faith that the earlypioneers had in overcoming obstacles and in living their religion.

The Cranbrook Stake includes all the communities of the East and West Kootenays including Trail, Creston, Castlegar and Nelson to the west, Golden and Invermere to the north, and Sparwood and Fernie to the east and to the Canadian border to the south.

Murphy’s Law

M

y friend George was clambering with me down a rocky slope one afternoon. We’d been walking the ridges and were tired and should have been more cautious, as befitted our considerable age. Anyway, about half-way down, George took a fall and crashed head over back-pack over ski pole to the scree at the bottom. I scrambled quickly down to him expecting to hear his dying confession.

However, although battered and bleeding, George sat up, looked vaguely at me and said, “Thank goodness that’s over.” To this day, I don’t know whether those words were of calm courage, stoic bravery or idiotic optimism.

When I took George to “emergency” I was forced to wait for him and found myself sitting next to an elderly woman, who was reading the Daily Townsman. Nosy, I peered over her shoulder and noted with pride that she was reading one of my columns. Eventually, the lady closed the paper and carefully folded it, sighed, then placed it on a chair beside her. She then looked at me and said succinctly, “Thank goodness that’s over.” I felt crushed.

But a few weeks later a younger woman told me that she loved reading my “stuff” and then asked me why I

didn’t write longer stories. I puffed up my scrawny chest and admitted, “Most folk think ‘enough’s enough’ and can’t stand any more of my drivel at one time, and I agree with them.”

Enough is enough; that’s the way I feel about very long articles and books. I don’t have the attention span. Personally, I am a devotee of The Bathroom Reader. I don’t want to get involved with wading through anything that outlasts a healthy B.M. The Bathroom Reader books contain reams and reams of almost factual Peter anecdotes and reasonable Warland facsimiles of actual events.

I learned only yesterday that scientists have resuscitated two hundred million year old bacteria. Where else could a person gain that kind of knowledge and then sit and ponder why those scientists bothered? I’ve got bacteria everywhere, especially behind the fridge and in the milk jug inside.

And then I learned about a warrior queen in what is now Sudan who was also high priestess of Isis, fabulously rich, divine and monumentally fat. At the head of her troops, she used to ride into battle on an elephant. Now, that was enough of that for the nonce. My few remaining brain cells were agitated into action as they imagined the foofaraw when they hauled her majestic majesty aboard her ride.

And what about this little tidbit? I

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

read that a woman had sued her local hospital, saying that, after her husband had been treated there recently, he had since lost all interest in sex, and a hospital spokesman replied, “The man was actually admitted in Ophthalmology — all we did was correct his eyesight.” So what else does a person need to know about this intriguing incident?

When I read that, in the late 19th century, the British used a travel agency to get their troops to Khartoum, Sudan, I stopped reading and let my so-called brain take over. Did the British government not know where Khartoum was?

Did the Minister of War reckon he’d do better using an agency and maybe get group rates? Did General Charles Gordon, with his ‘ahem’ reputation, have to ‘bunk up’ with some other officer? I was able to ruminate on this one for days.

Then, back in March I read somewhere that the Russian cruise ship, Lyubov Orlova had gone missing off the coast of Newfoundland and was possibly drifting towards Iceland, I sat up. How do you lose a cruise ship? They’re huge; I’ve been lost, wandering hopelessly on more than one for days. Hasn’t the U.S. got satellites up in space that can spot an errant ant in a corn field? Can’t they seek a Taliban fighter from hundreds of miles away and nail him? What’s going on there?

Anyway, that’s why stories should be too short; they leave so much to the imagination.

Well! Thank goodness that’s over.

SPORTS BRIEFS Rays hit three homers to sweep Blue Jays

TORONTO - Luke Scott and Kelly Johnson hit back-to-back home runs Sunday as the Tampa Bay Rays again used the long ball to complete a threegame sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays with a 4-3 victory.

Evan Longoria also went deep for the Rays (5841), who hit seven home runs in the weekend series.

Toronto scored two in the ninth to cut Tampa Bay’s lead to one when Jose Reyes doubled home Josh Thole and Brett Lawrie, but Rays closer Fernando Rodney struck out Jose Bautista and got a ground balls from Edwin Encarnacion and Melky Cabrera to pick up his 24th save.

Bandits split final doubleheader TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The curtain has fallen on another season for the Rocky Mountain Bandits, which wrapped up their schedule with a split record against the Whitefish Glacier A team over the weekend.

Though the initial game was close up until the fifth inning, the Bandits lost their opener of the double header by 24-8, they came back and responded with a 7-3 win to finish off the double-header.

Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek said facing the Glacier A team was a good way to finish off the season, noting that

both games were competitive.

Their first game stayed competitive right up until the fifth inning, but the wheels fell off for the Bandits, and the Glaciers took advantage.

“We were hanging in there and then things went sideways,” said Mrazek.

However, the Bandits managed to settle down in the rematch and come out with a win to end their season.

“Ryan Philips pitched a complete game, he did really well, and kept the runners off base and we won 7-3,” said Mrazek.

“That was good, splitting with Whitefish’s A team.”

As far as the season goes, Mrazek said their record of 11 wins is the best since 2008.

He added that the team showed some progress, especially with the young players that will be back with the squad next year.

“Manufacturing runs—we improved on

that, implementing hit and run, which last year, I started. We really haven’t hit and run in the past,” said Mrazek.

“We squeezed a lot and were successful with that, so being able to get that one run, to ensure that win—that sort of thing.”

Aside from the baseball skills, there were also some important lessons learned from the mental side of the game, “Learning not to panic when we’re up in the game,” said Mrazek.

“It’s okay if we’re up by four and they score one, not to worry that the other team has a runner on base. Being able to

play through it and what’s important and what isn’t.

“The kids got a better understanding of the game and what different situations mean and that.”

The Bandits, namely their younger players, are looking at playing some baseball in the fall with a few Montana teams on a more informal basis.

“Not necessarily a league but I just expressed interest to Montana teams,” said Mrazek. “Just to get some more weeks in and get some more time for the younger players to develop.”

LONDON - Canada defeated the United States 27-3 to win the under-20 Nations Cup women’s rugby tournament Sunday.

With the victory, Canada becomes the only nation other than England to win the tournament.

“It’s a pretty important day in women’s rugby in Canada,” said head coach Sandro Fiorino. “These girls worked pretty hard and proved their point to the rest of the three teams here and the rest of the world. It’s pretty impressive of what we have in our country right now.”

Canada had a 10-3 lead at the break after a try by Emily Belchos and a penalty and convert by Jess Neilson.

Frederique Rajotte then scored two tries in the second half to put Canada out of reach, while strong tackling from DaLeaka Menin and Cindy Nelles held off the American offence.

Chris Froome wins 100th Tour de France

PARIS - Chris Froome won the 100th Tour de France on Sunday, having dominated rivals over three weeks on the road and adroitly dealt with doping suspicions off it.

In two years, Britain has had two different winners: Bradley Wiggins in 2012 and now Froome.

Froome rode into Paris in style - in the yellow race leader’s jersey he took on Stage 8 and never relinquished, vigorously fending off rivals whose concerted challenges turned this Tour into a thriller.

Uniquely, the 100th Tour treated itself to a late afternoon start for its final Stage 21. The riders raced on the Champs-Elysees as the sun cast golden hues over the peloton and shadows lengthened over the dense, cheering crowds.

Mickelson claims 1st British Open title DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

GULLANE - Phil Mickelson is mystified no more by links golf. He has his name etched in a silver claret jug to prove it.

Mickelson delivered his best closing round ever in a major Sunday - at the British Open, of all places - when he ran off four birdies over the last six holes for a 5-under 66 at Muirfield to win the third leg of the career Grand Slam.

“This is such an accomplish-

ment for me because I just never knew if I’d be able to develop the game to play links golf effectively,” Mickelson said. “To play the best round arguably of my career, to putt better than I’ve ever putted, to shoot the round of my life ... it feels amazing to win the claret jug.”

At the end of a rough-andtumble week along the Firth of Forth, Mickelson was the only player under par. He wound up with a three-shot win over Henrik Stenson, one of four players

atop the leaderboard during a final round that was up for grabs until Mickelson seized control in the final hour.

Lee Westwood, who started Sunday with a two-shot lead, fell behind for the first time all day with a bogey on the 13th and never recovered. He closed with a 75. Masters champion Adam Scott took the lead with a 4-foot birdie on the 11th, and closed as sloppily as he did last year. He made four bogeys starting at the 13th, and a final bogey on the

18th gave him a 72. At least he has a green jacket from the Masters to console him this year.

Tiger Woods, in his best position to win a major since the crisis in his personal life, stumbled badly on his way to a 74 and was never a serious challenger.

Westwood said he didn’t play all that badly. Instead, he paid tribute to Mickelson for what will be remembered as one of the great closing rounds in major championship history.

A powerful tool when you want to reach your potential customers.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your pace will change according to the dynamic of your present circumstance. Though you might head out the door with the intention of running a lot of errands, your focus will shift to a creative opportunity instead. It is clear that your strengths are needed.

Tonight: As you want.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be sure that there are alternatives to what you are doing. Someone’s attitude could become annoying.

The real issue is how to handle the situation. Explore different possibilities before automatically reacting; you will be empowered by the process. Tonight: In the whirlwind of life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) How you see a personal matter could change with more information. You are gaining more clarity about the past few months.

Err on the side of caution with spending, even if a risk seems extremely appealing. It just won’t be worth it. Tonight: Relax. Play a game or surf the Web.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your ability to understand others allows you to have greater give-and-take. Understanding evolves only if you know full well what you want to happen. Your emotions behind a decision could change. Sit on your feelings, as difficult as that might be. Tonight: Share with a loved one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might walk out the door feeling insecure, yet return in the evening as an empowered individual. You could be weighing the impact of a Full Moon as you look at relationships and their possibilities. Recognize how much you have going for you. Tonight: Toss away insecurity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to use the morning to the max, especially when dealing with others. The afternoon would be best for doing research or for working on an independent project. You are processing a lot, and you might not be sure where you will land.

Tonight: Make it yours.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) At first, you might be dragging

For Better or Worse

your heels, but by midafternoon, you will feel energized and ready for anything. Solutions seem to emerge, and you finally might be able to approach a loved one with whom you have had a tiff.

Tonight: If at first you don’t succeed, try again.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Someone at a distance will be encouraging you to do something differently. How you approach a matter could change dramatically. You might want to have a long-overdue chat. You could be surprised to find that you are not so vested in the outcome.

Tonight: Happy to go home.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Use care with your finances. You might be taken aback by everything that is occurring around you. Return calls and emails.

Remain sensitive to a vulnerable person who is close to you. You might feel as if you have too much to do. Tonight: Juggle your plans.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll feel some kind of shift midday, and you might wonder where it is coming from. Try not

to question what is happening within your immediate circle so much -- you will find out soon enough. A financial risk might not pan out for you right now. Say “no.”Tonight: Your treat.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll perk up and take a different approach. Your originality could cause some strong responses, and perhaps even a minor hassle with a relationship. Know that this, too, will pass. A boss or someone you feel you need to answer to could be closed down.

Tonight: As you like it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The early hours are significant.

You soon will come to a fork in the road, where you will need to make a choice. You will know what to do. The morning is better for interpersonal matters, whereas the afternoon points to getting more done. Tonight: Keep it a secret.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I find myself trying to keep every tiny bit of my life a secret since I got married -- not because I’m ashamed of anything, but because my in-laws make my business fodder for gossip. Every time I talk to them, it feels as if I am being interrogated.

If I slip up and offer a small piece of personal news (such as an upcoming trip), they pepper me with a million pointed questions trying to get details.

I would be much more willing to share if, when I did mention a tidbit, I was told, “Oh, how wonderful for you,” and they didn’t press further or continue to spread my plans beyond present company. Instead, knowing that everything I say will be picked apart and broadcast to the universe, I clam up and am reluctant to say anything at all.

Is there anything I can do to put off their questions in a polite manner while avoiding the impression that I’m being aloof and rude? -- Not an Interrogator Dear Not: You are under no obligation to respond to questions that are no one’s business, particularly if you know they will repeat the information to everyone.

However, if it is something innocuous (a promotion, for example), you should try to answer their questions honestly. If they tell the universe, you have no reason to be concerned. For other things, practice a sincere smile while saying, “There’s really nothing interesting happening. How have you been?” But we don’t believe your in-laws are being malicious. We think they find everything about you more entertaining than what they are doing, and sharing it makes them feel important.

Dear Annie: I will be sending out wedding invitations soon. The problem is, I don’t know what to do about my grandparents.

They are still friends with my ex-husband, who is unstable and a bit scary. Last year, they didn’t hesitate to give my phone number to his girlfriend when she asked. I was furious. They don’t have my new address because I fear they would give it to my ex and he would show up and cause trouble.

I worry that when my grandparents get their invitation, they will give my ex the date, time, place and my return address. The fact that they are family and love me would not stop them. They are stubborn and thoughtless. They adore my ex and aren’t so crazy about my fiance.

Should I send them the invitation and give them a stern talking to? I doubt it would do any good. Should I give them the information the day of the wedding so they have less time to share it? Of course, that would necessitate asking other family members not to tell them anything, which would be difficult.

Any advice? -- Burned by Family Dear Burned: You always have the option of telling your grandparents after the wedding takes place. But we assume you want them to be there. You could send Grandma and Grandpa a handwritten invitation, omitting your return address and the location of the wedding. Arrange for a friend to pick them up and bring them to the ceremony. On the assumption that other relatives will spill the beans, you also could ask another friend to act as “security” (or hire someone) to guard the door so your ex doesn’t show up uninvited.

Dear Annie: “Happy in Hawaii” recommended that teenagers participate in their school’s community service clubs so they are less influenced by their friends and won’t get into trouble. When I was a child, I learned a saying that I passed on to our four children. I think it helped them to become independent-thinking adults: “Of all excuses this is most forbid, ‘I did it ‘cuz the others did.’” -- Marion, Mass.
