I love trees and this man just has a bizarre obsession with cutting them.' DHpa Bharath Daily Pilot NEWPORT BEACH -It's an animosity between two neigh- bors that has dug lta roots far and deep over the years. Louis Ballas detests the trees on his neighbor's yard because he believes they have dug into his property, distorting his side of the fence, breaking his walk- ways and causing his driveway to crack. TwoJears ago Ballas took Ya- na an Mark Bridle to Small Claims court, but withdrew after the Bridles' lnlurance company told him he couldn't get more than $5,000. He had estimated the damages to be much more. So last month, Ballas ftled a lawsuit ln Orange C.Ounty Su- perior C.Ourt demanding mon than $50,000 in damages. Yana Bridle said she la hurt and disappointed by Ballas' law- suit. MHe had a problem with my mellaluca tree," she said. "It was very hard for me. But I cut that beautlful tree.~ Bridle said she has also straightened Ballas' fence and says the problem in the drive- way and walkway have not been caused by her trees. Neither Ballas nor h.ta attor- ney David Baade was available for comment on Tuesday. The city had washed Its handa off the case years ago saying that It was a civil matter to be settled be- tween neighbors. "The heavy branches have broken and displaced the fence," the lawsuJt stales. It also aays that the damages have not been fully estimated, but that ft would be more than $50,000. The suit says that the Ballasea have asked the Bridles to main- tain thelr trees and bushes to the roots don't come over to the other side, but they have re- fused. It further a.ab for an in- junction forcing the Bridles to cut or maintain their trees - whichever will prevent the trees from encroaching on the Ballas' property. Bridle said she believes "this ls a frivolous case." "I'm In fact devastated not be- Vena Bridle cause I had to cut my trees,• she said. "It's a matter of principle. l love trees and this man just has a bizarre obseaslon with cutting them.· Ballas had said In earlier In- terviews with the Daily Pilot that he had no such obsession or ha- tted for trees, but was merely worried about his property value. "She has never done anythJng that she said she would do to help the situation," he said. "I want all the trees that are dam- aging my property cut."

The cat Special has been the top boat of the Newport fleet for the past couple of week.5 with good counts on yeUowtail, sea bass and there has also been a pretty steady pick. on calico bass on the lee side of the island. Jack. Williams of Huntington Beach decked a 34-pound sea bass while fishing on board the Cat Special on a recent trip to Catalina. It's too early in the season to expect any reports on marlin but it's not unusual to hear reports of iwnpers and tailers around the 14 Mile Bank as early as the Fourth of July. An indication of better water conditions are the number of blue sh arlcs showing up around high spots in the channel along with some catches of mako and thresher sharks for private yachts and anglers fishing with the Bongos Sportfishing Oeet based in Newport. Fresh water fishing continues good at local lakes, catfish and bass are taking over top billing with the higher water temperarure. Irvine Lake is being stocked weekly with thousands of pounds of channel catfish and fishing has been good ln Woody's Cove and off Trout Island.

You desperately need this special time together. And you deserve to start your life together in a romantic, quiet atmosphere. Here are some honeymoon hints for you to do just that. Decide upon the perfect hotel or motel by considering what you both like. Do you both like the outdoors? How about a hideaway a stone's throw away from a picturesque Jake or nestJed beside a purple mountain? Do you both enjoy delving into history? Check out a special inn near some of country's memorials or important monuments. A bed and breakfast near a bicycle trail or some quaint shops might be your cup of tea. If you marry in the summer, a trip to the Caribbean may be worth your wh1Je to investigate. The hot months are ~low for the Caribbean. Once you decide on your destination , talk to each other and discus' the activities in which you would like to participate, together and alone. Yes, I said alone - on your honeymoon! Part of relaxing after a blissful, yet stressfuJ, wedding is finding some time for yourself. The bride may want to get a faciaJ while the groom has a massage. The bride couJd go snorkeling while the groom goes sailing. FancifuJ dinners, evening stroUs and afternoon naps are alJ part of a fantastic honeymoon. Whether playing together or alone, plan some of your activtties ahead of time so you can enjoy yourselves and each other when you arrive at your destination. Don't be bashful about spreading the good news that you are newlyweds. Most people like to spoil honeymooners. Champagne, a romantic dinner, flowers or a special gift couJd greet you as you enter your honeymoon suite. Remember to pack your marriage license in your suitcase, though. You may need to prove your nuptials. The last few tips are short and sweet. Don't travel the night of your wedding. Relax at a nearby hotel before setung out on the big trip. You deserve to be as rested and ready for your trip as possible. Double-check your accommodations the week before your wedding. Make sure you're secure in what you've planned with the hotel or motel. You might want to consider spending less on your room and more on activities, meals or gifts. You may even want to do something a littJe crazy to make your honeymoon especially memorable. You could try bungee jumping, crocodile wrestling or speed boat racing. Above all, pamper yourselves and celebrate your love and your new life together. & The Village Affair Reception Facility Packages from s 10°0 per person 1 (800) .67KATER www.affordablekatering.com J Mon Amie Bridal Salon features summer sale extra vaganza ., .

This is a time for you and your bridesmaids to relax and enjoy a peaceful meal together amidst the hurry and scurry of wedding plans. Have you had a shower yet? Now would be a great time to "prod" your maid of honor if you haven't had that event yet. It is also time to talk with the maid of honor and best man about the bachelor and bachelorette parties. The current trend is to have fairly mild get-togethers several weeks before the wedding date. More and more couples opt to forego wild and crazy bashes for quiet, simple getaways with special friends. Five weeks and counting ... It's time to soJidify plans for transportation from home to the wedding site and from lite wedding site to the reception site. Buy the gifts for your attendants. Purchase your wedding rings if that has not been done, and double check the amount of time it will take to size those rings.

Mer you have selected the colors of your wedding, you can start thinking about the flowers. To get ideas, go to the library and check out some books on floral arranging, or look through some bridal magazines. Make photocopies or clip out pictures of arrangements you like. Collect them together with swatches of your wedding colors to give to the florist later. In the floral world, flowers carry meaning.

Keep this in mind as you choose the flowers and greenery for the floral arrangements . at your wedding. Once you have a few ideas, consider whether you will use real or silk flowers. There are pros and ·cons to each. Real !lowers smell wonderful, but they are less hardy and more expensive than silk flowers. To reduce costs, consider using flowers in season. Although they do not have a scent, silk flowers cost less and they can be displayed easier after your wedding. No matter if you use real or silk flowers, the number and size of your floral arrangements, especially your bouquet, should fit your budget and your needs. Generally, the larger an arrangement, the more it costs. If you have a small budget and need several pieces, you may have to choose smaller arrangements. As for your bridal bouquet, make sure you select a size that fits your stature. You don't want to be burdened with a huge bouquet that covers half of your dress. Once you have an idea of the type, size and number of arrangements you will need, it's time to select a florist. Depending on your needs, it could be a crafty friend or a flower shop down the street. The person you choose should be creative. They should also be reliable and flexible in case you need to make changes to your arrangements later. No matter whom you choose, make sure you are comfortable with their services. Then give them your ideas and color swatches, and watch them create some beautiful floral arrangements for your wedding.
