We've all heard that we belong to the rat race. There are so many thmgs that "need" to be done in a day - work, family, household tasks. exercise, social activities, volunteer positi ons, leisure. Leisure? Do you feel like that is the area of your life that never gets any attentoon' What can you do to find more leisure time on your busy life' There are three personal resources that go hand- in-hand - time, energy and money. If you want to save time and energy, you will prpbably have w give up some money. You have to decide which is more Important. If you answered, 'Time," then why not hire someone to clean. cook. haby ~i t , do yard and household work, shop, run errands, etc.' The money may be well spent if it gives you the needed time to sit and relax or to do something for yourself . Another way to give yourself more tome is to get everyone m the household involved in daily responsibilities. Assign all family members tasks that are appropriate for their age, talents and interests. Realite that it may not be done the same way that you would do rt. but it will get done. Lu-.cr your expcctatoons. Since housework is a nevcr-endingjob, give yourse lf a break - don't expect it to be perfect at all times . . Set aside time for actrvities that are interesting and relaxing . Provode at least thirty minutes a day to do what you want to do. Some people choose the tran sitional tome between work and coming home for the evening to concentrate on themselves. Decrease the time that you spend on personal grooming. To allow time for yourse lf and to get everything done, you may want to get out of bed before other famil y members, or stay up after the rest of the fa mil y has retired . Some additional time-saving tips include having an easy -to-take-care- of hair cut, buying only clothes that are wrinkle resistant so ironing is eliminated and purchasing take-out or surer's report. . annual holiday home decorating .

NEW YORK (AP)- While John Olerud left the New York Mets for Seanle, teams offered salary arbitration to 21 players and cui off talks wit,h 74 others. Olerud agreed Tuesday to a $20 million. three-year contract with the Mariners. cleanng a logjam that held up the free-age nt market. The passing of a Dec. 7 deadline should also spur signmgs now that draft -pick compensation isn 't an tssue for three-quarters of the free agents. The group offered arbitratiOn included outfielder Wit Cordero and left-bander Chris Haney (Cleveland) and three players who left the NL champion Atlanta Braves to become free agents: shortstop Jose Hernandez, nght-hander Rudy Seanez and outfielder Gerald Williams. Players offered arbitration may accept the offers through Dec. 19 and negotiate with their former teams through Jan . 8. The World Series champion New York Yankees satd goodbye to catcher Joe Girardi and infielder Luis Sojo, Anahetm let go of left-hander Chuck Finley and Cincmnati said so long to outfielder Greg Vaughn and pitchers Steve Avery and Mark Wohlers. Players not offered arbitration can't re-sign with their former teams until May I. Also, teams can sign these players without losing amateur draft picks as compensation. Among those were right-handers Andy Benes, John Burkett, Orel Hershiser and Bobby Witt ; left-hanOn average, a person speaks 450 words during a three-minute telephone call. der Kenny Rogers; catcher Benito Santtago; infielders Jeff Blauser, Tony Fernandez, Mickey Morandini and Ed Sprague; outfielder Paul Sorrento; and designated hitter Harold Baines.

Howard and left-hander Darren Oliver (St. Louis). Rogers' agent, Scott Boras, dis- puled the Mets ' right to offer arbitration to his client, saying he conveyed that earlier in the day to New York general manager Steve Phillips. " We have a clause in his contract that says that if his option wasn 't e~erc ised, which tt wasn't, because we had it' removed, they can ··t offer arbitration," Boras said. The Mets also offered arbitration to Olerud in case there's a problem wtlh his Seattle deal. Olerud, one of the top players in a weak free-agent class, opted to return to his home- town ·rather than stay with New York. "This was a real difficult dec1sion for me, " Olerud said. "There were times where I was leaning toward the !>lets, definitely. I came close, but neve/ to the point where I said 'Let 's go for it. "' The first baseman, coming off an $8 million , two-year deal , said the Mets made a "very computable" offer. -The contract with Seattle calls for salaries of $6.35 million in 2000, $6.7 million in 2001 and $6.95 million in 2002. " I think if it was any other tearu -: other than the Mets , it would have been a real easy decision," Olerud . • said. • -_ · Wtth the Mariners, Olerud will be: able to commute to Safeco Field for: home games He has a wife and 15month-old son livmg in Seattle and;:; will be able to play in front of hi~ ~ ;: parents.

Wisconsin shackles No. 10 Texas; U.K ends 'losing streak .: Top 25 men's college basketball By DOUG FEINBERG Associated Press Writer The Wisconsin Badgers imposed their will on Texas' offense, holding the I Oth-ranked Longhorns to their lowest scoring omput in almost 15 years. Wisconsin, ranked eighth in the nation in total defense, allowing just 55 .3 points per game, beat the Longhorns 61-45 Tuesday night. The Badgers' game plan concentrated on stopping Texas seven-footer Chris Mihm by using 6-foot-3 guard Mike Kelley, who set a Big ond man the double-team. Ten recordonwith 10 steals, as the secWisconsin coach Dick Benneu's credited Kelley's outstanding effort with changing the game. Kelley 's constant double-teams in the post against Mihm threw Texas' offense into disarray. · T ve not seen many efforts like that." Benneu said. "I've never seen a guard take over a game like that. That might be the best performance I) finally pulled away down the stretch. .The Tar Heels, who play topranked Cincinnati tonight, missed their first six shots and 12 of their first 13 as Buffalo opened a 15-5 lead. No. 12 Syracuse 86, Albany 46 Damone Brown had 20 points and Preston Shumpert added 18 as the Orangemen breezed past the Great Danes at the Carrier Dome. It was the first meeting between the teams since Syracuse's 44-21 victory during the 1935-36 season, when Albany was known as the New York State Teachers College. As expected, with a national power facing a team in its first year of Division I· play, this one was no contest. During one stretch in the second half, Syracuse (7-0) outscored Albany 33-4 and held the Great Danes (2-6) to 20 percent shooting (5-of-30) in the period. No. 15 Indiana 73, Missouri 68 Reserve Kirk Haston scored all 17 of his points in the second half as the Hoosiers, once down 16 points, rallied to beat the Tigers at Missouri. Haston played only four minutes in the first half and missed his only shot, but was on the lloor for the final 20 minutes. He made a running hook that tied it 66-66 with I :33 to go and then passed to Dane Fife for the go-ahead layup with 43 seconds left. Keyon Dooling bounced back from two mediocre games to lead Missouri with 21 points. No. 21 Maryland 76 Winthrop 65-0T Terence Morris scored six of his 19 points in overtime as the Terrapins survived a scare from Winthrop and won their 68th straight non-conference home game. Maryland never led after halftime until Morris opened the overtime by sinking two, free throws. Tyson Waterman scored 22 points and Greg Lewis 14 for Winthrop (4:i), the defending Big South champions. No. 23 Kentucky 8fi N.C.-Ashevllle 41 Desmond Allison scored 15 points as the Wildcats broke their longest losing streak in nearly a decade with a win over the Bulldogs. After successive losses to Atizona, Dayton and Indiana, a Rupp Arena date with winless N.C.Asheville (0-8) was precisely 'what Kentucky (4-3) needed.

PURE SWE The 2000 Meigs County Junior Fair Market Steer registration, identification tagging dates for junior fair exhibitors usually held this month have been changed. Robert Calaway, chairman of the beef committee of the Meigs County Senior Fair Board, announced today ihat the 2000 Junior Fair market steer idenlification tagging will be held on Saturday, May 13, from 7 a.m . to noon at the Meigs County Fairgrounds. Market steers will be identified by placing two identification tags in the steer's ear. A hair sample will also be required for DNA testing. There wi ll be no weigh-in and tagging in December, Calaway said. Instead all Junior Fair exhibitors (4-H and FFA) who plan to exhibit a market steer proJect at the 2000 Meigs County Fair must register their' animals with the County Extension Office by Jan. 3, and identify their livestock projects by tag in on May 13 at the fair' . grounds. In 2000 a member may register two steers, but only one market steer may be exhibited and sold at the 2000 Meigs County Fair. Failure to register steers by the Jan. 3 date and identify by tagging on May 13, will disqualify the steer project from exhibition and sale at the 2000 Meigs County Fair. . All steers must be housed at the member's legal and pennanent residence and be the bona fide property and under the continual care of exhibitor. All steers must be halter broke and must be castrated and dehorned prior to the Jan. 3 registration date. SUGAR 99c Canad1an Bacon ......... •1ners. $ BROWN POWDERED USDA BEEF OSCAR MAYER WESSON :..

Question: Is it true that herbal medicines don't have side effects because they are all natural? Answer: ANY medicine can have side effects : The term "nat·Jral," as it is used by advertisers today, gives a feeling of safety and purity. These statements are carefully crafted to create the impression that "natural is always belter," thus encouraging the purchase of their products. I'd suggest that you remember that any advertiser has the objective of separating you and me from our hard-earned money. Consider yourself forewarned - the use of herbal products may have undesirable side effects and cross reactions with other drugs, and in rare circumstances, these can be serious and even lethal. If you want to use an herbal product, it would be a good idea .to talk to your family doctor first. Question: I used to hear that stress was the cause of ulcers. Is this still true? Answer: Ulcers are open sores on the skin or on the lining of the digestive tract. Those in the first section of the small intestines (duodenum) - often referred to by patients as "stomach ulcers" - are NOT caused by stress. · Most ulcers of this type are caused by a bacterial infection. lndi viduals who are under a great deal of emotional stress and who have ulcers are more likely to seek medical care for their malady than those who arc experiencing less stress. This "self selection" by patients led many doctors to believe that there was a causeeffect relationship between ulcers and stress.

By PAUL NOWELL CHARLOTIE (AP) - Carolina Panthers wide receive~ Rae Carruth is out of jail for a second time after turning himself in when a new warrant was issued on another charge stemming from the shooting of his pregnant girlfriend. "The district attorney 's office called us this morning and told us they were going to serve the warrant," his allorney, George Laughrun, said Tuesday. "They agreed to let him turn himself in, and we arranged for a judge to have a first-appearance hearing." At the hearing, Superior Court Judge John Gardner set an unsecured bond of $300,000, which meant Carruth only had to sign a paper promising to appear and did not have to provide the additional money. "He's already on the wily home," Laughrun said. The arrest warrant was for a new charge contained in Monday's grand jury indictment for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. Carruth was released from jail Monday about five hours after he and three other men were indicted by a Charlotte-Mecklenburg County grand jury for conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, atlempted murder and shooting into an occupied vehicle. • · At the request of prosecutors, the grand jury also ,indicted the four on an additional charge of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to inflict serious injury. It was the additional charge that led to the new arrest warrant for Carruth. The other defendants remain· in jail on $1.5 million bond each. ~ .,• Mondarthru Sundar time." In other Top 25 games.

Christians set out on religious pilgrimages to visit holy sites so that they might gain a deeper understanding of their faith. Today, as the new millennium approaches, the Catholic Church has proclaimed this time Jubilee 2000- a year long period of spec ial activities designed to bring the faithful closer to God. As part of the Jubilee 2000 cele bration, various churches and sites have been declared places of pilgrimages. While many of these designated locations, such as the Holy Land, Rome or Lourdes, France. will draw worshipers from throughout the world, locally Christians can take a pilgrimage to St. Louis Cat holic Ch urch in Gallipolis. According to Bishop Gilbert I. Sheldon. uf the Diocese of Steubenville. the church is one of II local locations se l c~.:ted in a region that includes Stuebe nvi lle , Athens and St. Clairsv ille. that will welcome Christians throughout the Jubilee Year. At the Vatican , a spec ial door that has been sealed since the last Jubilee 25 years ago, will once again be opened so that symbolically the faith' ful might walk through and into a deeper understanding of their fatth . After the jubilee year ends, the door will be resealed until the ne•tjubliee .. Monsignor William Myers sees the symbolic passage through the door as an opportunity for Christian growth. "We don't have a door to seal up and open. but we are decorating one to make people aware that.this is a journey of faith, to deep one's belief. Just like putting a ring on your finger doesn't make you married, walking through the door doesn't have any special ability. A change of heart is what is necessary." According to Pope John Paul II in his Bull of Indiction of the Great PREPARING FOR PILGRIMAGE - Steven Cornett, a parishioner at St. Louis Catholic Church in Gallipolis, decorated the door that will serve as the symbolic entry way during the pilgrimage planned for St. Louis and Catholic churches in Meigs and Mason counties in 2000. Jubilee of the Year 2000, "In the · course of its history, the institution of the Jubilee has been enriched by signs which \attest to the faith and foster the devotion of the Christian ' people. Among these, the first is the notion of the pilgrimage.•· Father Myers reminds his parish members that a pilgrimage is to be taken with a se rious and prayerful mind set. And, as the Pope has issued in his decree, it ts a time for vigils. fasting and prayer to prepare the Christian to accept a greater understanding of grace. Father Myers sees the pilgrimage as time to exam one's life and draw closer to Christ. "It enhances one's ability to sec God working in one's life through grace and favor." It is also a time for the faithful to reconnect with their spiritual roots as they stud y the Bible for examples of pilgrimages such as the Exodus. Mary and Joseph llccing out of Egypt and the JOUrneys of the discip les and Paul. Father Myers also notes that Gallipolis .will play host to visitors dunng the year as Christians come from throughou t region to worship at Saml Louis. "We have a great to chance to weicome man y visitors who arc coming to our city and we arc excited about the opportunity help them grow in their Chri st inan walk," said Father Myers. One of the special times for the pil)lrimagc will be at the vigil mass at 5:30p.m., Christmas Eve and the midnight mass on Christmas Eve .

(AP) Industry spews less pollution into the air in Vennont than any other state in the Northeast and yet thousands of trees are dying and many lakes and streams no longer support fish . The only possible explanation for the ecological destruction in a state with air as clean as Vennrinl's, Attorney General William Sorrell and Natural Resources Secretary John Kassel argued Tuesday, has to be coal-burning power plants far to the west. So they announced Tuesday that Vermont was asking a federal judge in Columbus, Ohio, for pennission to intervene in a lawsuit in which the U.S Environmental Protection Agency alleges that American Electric Power plants are violating the Clean Air Act. "We have virtually no (sulfur dioxide) sources in this.state," Kassel said at a news conference. "We have acid rain because it is coming from (the Midwest). I think we ' re in a position to make that argument more compellingly than anyone else." But it' s an argument that Midwest electricity generators will hotly conlest. An American Electric vice president questioned how Vermont poli cymakers can blame his company's plants in Ohio, Indiana and West Virgmm. '·The closest power plant that we own to the state of Vermont is 730some miles away and some are 900 miles," Dale Heydlauff said. Emissions from the 800- to 1,100foot stacks at his company's plant s dissipate in the atmosphere wel l before they could be carried on the winds to New England , he arg ued.

Bunting. 27, of Heath, Ohio, and Craig A. Nonnan, 26, of Newark, Ohio. At about 12:25 p.m. both subjects were apprehended by Gallia County Sheriff's Office deputies about three-quarters of mile from their vehicle. One suspect was transported to Holzer Medical Center for treatment of a gunshot wound. At about 8:29 a.m. Wednesday the Gallia Cowtty 911 center received a call from the residence of Edger Estepp, 1859 Geotges Creek Road, according to a statement released by .. •• • .. • GCSO Chief Deputy Denni~ Salisbury. Estepp advised that one male subject, Norman, allegedly came to his residence inquiring about rental property. During the conservation, the subject asked if he could use the restroom, al which time Estepp showed him the way. Feeling uncomfortable, Estepp retrieved a handgun. When he returned to the living room, a second subject, Bunting, allegedly grabbed Estepp from behind. Estepp discharged his handgun and is believed to have hit Norman . During the struggle, authorities report the handgun was taken from Estepp, at which time the subjects fled the residence. Estepp retrieved a second handgun and fired at the subjects, who were leaving in a full size light blue station wagon, officials said. . · The vehicle was later located less than one half a mile from Ohio 7 on Polecat Road. Gallipolis City police officers, the Gallia· Meigs State Highway Patrol and the Athens County Canine Unit were called to assist in the search for the subjects.
