Enjoy the holidays with realistic plans

By PATRICIA M. RATHBUN Holidays and stress often go together and affect all of us at one time or another. Stress is defined as, "the response to a change or a conflict.” It is a necessary part of life and can be a good experience. Build-up of stress, however, can lead to tension, emotional strain and physical problems. Your body needs a chance to recover from the tension that stress places on it before you enter another stressful situation. There are many reasons why families and individuals are stressed at holiday times. Too much food, change in regular schedule, extra people around, lack of exercise, lack of sleep, extra money spent. New Year’s resolutions — these are a few examples. In order for you to better deal with your holiday stresses, you must first identify the reason for the stress. After identifying the reason, you can then begin to cope with holiday stress. Helps for holiday stress are: sharing chores with other family members; family members bring food so one person isn’t

general practice is always what I’ve thought about starting,” said William O. Leemon, a young practicing lawyer who has hung

responsible for all of it; if money is a problem, make gifts or give of yourself; be realistic about what you can accomplish; do some preparation in advance; traditions help to relieve stress because they are familiar and allow people to know what to expect ' . High expectations for holiday times may be a cause for additional stress for families and individuals. Almost everyone thinks of the holiday season as a happy one and expects that their holiday will be fun-filled and exciting. In reality, holidays can be disappointing, particularly if the expectations are too high Even if the holiday is happy, the post-holiday blues, a normal letdown for the season may affect you. Make your holidays the happiest and healthiest ever by making realistic plans this year.

out his shingle in Milford at 301 North Henry Strok. Leemon is banging new blood to the Lakeland area by opening a law office in Milford and he hopes the town will support his venture. "When I was practicing in Michigan City, people would call my parents (Mr. and Mrs. William A. Leemon) and say, ‘So your son is a lawyer.’ Eventually there were enough calls that demonstrated a need for a lawyer and it looked like Milford could suonort a practice. ’ * The 1972 Wawasee High School graduate majored in political science at Ball State University and graduated from the top law school in the state, Indiana University Indianapolis Law School, in 1979. While law school produced "a lot of fears** and was a "challenge,** Leemon never really doubted that he would graduate. Out of 450. only an estimated third passed the state bar exams with the highest percentage of successful applicants coming from the IUI school. Qualtficatioas Leemon has extensive experience in various law matters and will handle any legal matter for area citizens. "No attorney can hold himself out as an expert in anything because there is no way he can memorize all of the material,*’ he commented. "Some people trust older lawyers, but with constant changes in the law, both groups have the same amount of research to do.” After completing the bar exam, Leemon worked for Chudom and Meyer in Schererville as head law clerk for four months. He describes this job as a "real learning experience” which familiarized him with the research process. A defense oriented law firm in Kokomo, Winslow and Winslow, offered Leemon an associate position which he held until the partners decided to pursue other interests. Leemon’s next job took him to Michigan City where he managed the Michigan City Legal Clinic before starting his own practice. While in the city, he was also appointed to the Michigan City Human Rights Commission by the mayor. Involvement in Michigan City affairs intensified his interest in a smaller community making Leemon "comfortable with a general practice in a mediumsized town.” V—' Remodeling of Leeman’s law office will be completed sometime in January, but he does hold regular office hours with week end and evening appointments available. Board of Realtors gives donation to Salvation Army A program by Dennis Dillman, past president of the Society of Real Estate Appraisers, was given to the December meeting of the Kosciusko Board of Realtors in Warsaw. A Christmas gift exchange was held and a collection for the Salvation Army was taken. Members present donated 1100 and with matching funds from the treasury, a check for S2OO was given. Attending from the area were Phyllis Louden, Ernie Rogers, Dick Ditmer, Ric Schaekel, Harlan Steffen, Phil Beer and Barbara Todd. Soft'bubbly' Turn the children’s powdered soft drink into a ‘bubbly’ for special occassions by adding club soda instead of water. Crumble it When using dried herbs, make sure to crumble them to release the full flavor.
