Show Citizen, Press, Review - Wed., June 5, 1991 - Page 12 Mf k Reunion wrecks two veteran marriages Dear Ann Landers: My marriage ended in September 1990 after 17 years and two children. It was a good marriage but, like most marriages, I'm sure it could have used some work. The end came when my husband attended his high school reunion in a state a thousand years from home. "Stan" had not been in touch with any of his classmates since graduation 20 years before. He went to the reunion alone. I stayed home with the children. At the "Get Reacquainted Mixer" he ran into a woman he had known only casually in high school and, according to Stan, "something clicked." They left the party together, took a long walk and decided in less than an hour that their lives were horrible and they were in love. Two months later, she walked out on a marriage and three children. Stan walked out on me and our two kids. Our families and friends were in a state of shock and still can't believe it. Stan and his "miraculous discovery" seem to be living their teen years over again. He is proud of 20-ye- ar Ann Landers I Dear Florida: You are going through a terrible time, but do not give up hope.

If this sounds crazy, let me assure you that it is the God's honest truth. It has been months since Stan left us and I have tried to find some rational reason for what happened. I come up with nothing. I somehow believe that ifthere were a sensible explanation, I could recover from this blow and pull myself together. Is it possible that I will be whole again? It would help to hear from others who have lived through a similar situation. Thanks, Ann. -- A Florida Wreck Dear Ann Landers: I am having a problem with a neighbor who has become extremely unpleasant or more to the point stubborn. "Mr. L" has a number of large trees that overhang my property. Approximately 75 percent of those tree branches extend over my house, yard and swimming pool. These trees, eucalyptus and pine, shed debris into the swimming pool and make it almost impossible to keep my pool clean. Furthermore the branches that overhang my house pose a serious threat. If a high wind should break off any of the limbs they could come crashing onto my home. I have told this neighbor that I would be happy to pay for trim , - jf ' Dear Fed Up: According to Gary Lawson, assistant professor of law at Northwestern University, almost every state would allow you to go ahead and trim the branches if it can be done without trespassing on your neighbor's land. Forcing the tree owner to trim the branches himself is another matter. In California, courts have sometimes ruled in favor of forcing the tree owner to trim the branches of the trees that threaten a neighbor's property. I suggest that you see a lawyer and ask for his assistance. .' -m. A . II :,Jii!lL) it?: L ming the branches but he flatly refuses to allow the tree surgeon access to his property. I need to know if I have a legal right to force this man to trim his trees or to allow my tree surgeon to go into his yard so that he can take off the branches that overhang my property. Sign me Fred Up and Furious in Northern California L He saw a land where only those ' willing to work long and hard would survive. Any lesser efforts would result in failure and starvation. He saw a hard land that would not attract the gentile masses seeking usual insects. Port visited two Indian villages, making an important discovery. The Salt Lake Valley was a middle land between ground, a the Ute stronghold to the south and the Shoshone lands to the north. While both tribes camped in the Salt Lake Valley from time to time, neither tribe made territorial claims to the valley. The Mormons, in ' settlinghere, had displaced no one. An army of interpreters and Indian agents couldn't have picked a better place to settle for a people wanting to avoid conflict with the natives. The river connecting a large freshwater lake to the south with the Great Salt Lake was called the Jordan River, after a stream serving a similar function in the Holy Land. The two most magnificent peaks to the east were promptly christened Ensign and Olympus. The first canyon explored by Parley Pratt was named Parley's Canyon. The stream running past the new city lots was named City Creek. The land to the north with the richest, blackest soil was called Bountiful, after a prosperous community in the Book of Mormon. To be continued ' no-man-'s . ( easy living, a land where the Mormons would be left alone to build churches, temples, a righteous people, and the Kingdom of God on earth. As far as Brigham Young was concerned, the journey was over. The Mormons had come home to their promised land. By the end of the first week in the Salt Lake Valley the Mormons . had raised crude shelters, begun a city survey, dammed up several streams and broken the first plow in the hard soil. Port spent the first week exploring with his horse and dog. He found deer and elk in the foothills, fish in the streams, and ducks and geese in the marshes. He found tall grasses, reeds and willows that could be used in weaving baskets and mats. He found clay, both red and gray, for making pottery. He saw wolves, coyotes, mountain lions, badgers, beavers, skunks, ground squirrels, meadowlarks, sea gulls, blackbirds, bald and golden eagles, crows, mice, gophers and all the Obituaries Bryce K.
