REED BY BRIAN Staff writer POMEROY Meigs County is included in a state of emergency declared Monday by Ohio Gov. Bob Taft, and the county remains under a Level III (only emergency travel allowed) snow emergency following a weekend snow and ice storm which left roads impassable. Meigs Emergency Services Director Gene Lyons said early today that many roads are still closed to traffic and that citations were issued to tho.se who traveled unnecess~Jy !'d~nday. . It IS m.tportant that res1dents remam off the roadways unless they have an absolutely dire emergency," Lyons said. "Our roads are still bad everywhere, and impassable in many places." Three emergency shelters were opened in the county for those without heat or other utility service, Lyons said. At least 50 Meigs County residents reported to those shelters last night. The shelters are set up at the Veterans Memorial Hospital building in Pomeroy, Victory Baptist Church in Middleport, an.~ th~ Syracuse firehouse. . Res1dents :ovho are caught Without fuel oil, heat or pow~r and need a place to stay unt!l the emergency is over should call Meigs EMS at 992-6617 for shelter information and assistance," Lyons said. "We had 50 people report to shelters yesterday and last night, and several others walked in during the course of the night," Meigs is just one of several Soqtheastern Ohio counties still under a Level Ill emergency status, Lyons said.

Thousands of commuters dug cars out of s n o wpacked driveways and parking spots to trudge Taft to work Tuesday after a holiday weekend storm left more than a foot of snow in central Ohio and layers of ice in southern Ohio. · While many school and event cancellations continued Tuesday throughout the state, snow plow drivers hurried to clear downtown Columbus streets for the first rush hour since the storm started Friday night. The snowfall ranged from 14 to 16 inches in central Ohio, I 0 inches in the Dayton area and 4 inches in Cincinnati, which also got about three-fourths of an inch of ice, Sam McNeil, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Wilmington, said Tuesday. Thousands of homes and businesses in the Ohio River counties of Gallia, Lawrence; Meigs and Scioto remained without power after ice - several inches in some places - blanketed the southern third of the state.

Dennis Kucinich, stumping in the state where the presidential nominating season begins next January, promised a "workers' White House" if elected president. Kucinich, the former :Cleveland "boy mayor," told ·Jabor leaders at a political forum on Monday that his first act as president would be to withdraw from the ' North American Free Trade :Agreement. · Kucinich has been a persistent critic of NAFTA, which reduced barriers to trade among the United States, Canada and Mexico. · Kucinich, a traditional liberal who has been critical of the administration's Iraq polic~, appeared at the forum ·with three of his rivals and said President Bush hasn't made a convincing case against Iraq. "Everyone knows this administration has not made its case for a war in Iraq," Kucinich said. ''I'm the only candidate in this race who voted against the war in Iraq." A longtime advocate for establishing a Department of Peace, Kucinich has attended anti-war rallies across the country. Kucinich said he would file papers Tuesday to form a presidential exploratory committee.

(AP) Sin taxes off the table in Senate budget fix debate COLUMBUS (AP) -The Senate will consider tax or fee increases to fix a hole in the state budget, but Gov. Bob Taft's proposal to raise cigarette . and alcohol taxes appears to be dead. "It's off," Senate President Doug White said Monday when asked whether boosting sin taKes was an option. "We're going to look for different alternatives for members to consider." However, he noted that the Senate last spring voted for a 50-cents-per pack increase in tobacco, but the House cut that to 31 cents in its version, which ultimately became law. T4e House last week passed a $566 million budget correction bill that omits the sin tax increases Taft sought, and instead would speed the collection of the state sale.s tax to raise $288 million and use $121 million in SI,!I'Plus money. . Whtte said many senators were expressing concern about the House measure. Taft's budget office estimates the deficit for the budget year ending June 30 at $720 million, and his proposed increases in cigarette and alcohol taxes would have raised $1S9 million. The Senate finance committee began hearings on the House-passed bill last week and planned to vote on it Tuesday to set up a Wednesday vote by the full Senate. Taft has said he needs the bill on his desk by Thursday to ensure enou~h time for money to be ra1sed to balance the budget. Sen. Bill Harris, a Republican from Ashland who is the finance committee chairman, said no Republicans on the coriunittee have expressed support for increasing cigarette and alcohol taxes. "I'm sure if anyone brings it up, we'll talk about it, but I don't think that's going to happen," Harris said. · Orest Holubec, Taft's spokesman, said the governor understands lawmakers are concerned about increasing sin taxes, and Taft will work with the Senate to find an agreeable source of new revenue. "As the governor has said before, if there is an alternative to cigarette and alcohol taxes that brings in real money to balance the budget by June 30 and keep }lim from having to cut education funding, he will give it serious consideration," he said. Taft last week called the House-approved bill "incomplete," and said that House members were unwilling to come to grips with the magnitude of the budget hole. Areas of concern among senators included language that would prohibit Taft from cutting basic aid for primarysecondary education by 2.5 percent, said White, a Republican from Manchester. Taft threatened to do that if his entire funding plan was not approved. White said a temporary sales tax increase remains an option. "It will be prese.nted as a consideration, but whether it stays on the table, we'll see," he said. The day before the House approved the budget, Taft said he would consider a tern- porary sales tax increase, but House Speaker Larry Householder said the proposal came too late. White said the only way to find the money needed to till the budget hole without raising taxes or fees for state services is through additional budget cuts. "We can't have bake sales and ice cream socials," he said. . . NEW YORK (AP) - "Joe Millionaire" concluded with Evan Marriott asking Zora, not Sarah, to go steady. She said yes, and they toasted their future with a glass of champagne. Then they scored a million dollars from the show - the "shocking twist" viewers had been promised for days. Along with co-finalist Sarah, Zora also heard the dicey truth: that Marriott wasn't the stinking-rich heir he had pretended to be while grazing over 20 lovely rivals for his affection on the hit Fox series. Instead, he was a $19,()()0.per-year impostor. Monday's much-hyped twohour finale - actuafly taped last Thanksgiving - brou~ht to a close this "Bachelor"-like mating game blended with the $50-million joke viewers had been in on from the start: what tbe show called "television's biggest con." The somewhat anticlimactic outcome played out at the French estate that has served as the series' home base through its seven-week run. "It's been a roller-coaster ride," a nervous Marriott began when time came to level with Zora Andrich, the darkhaired, 29-year-old schoolteacher from New Jersey.

Den Dickerson Publisher Bette Pearce Charlene Hoeflich Managing Editor Editor NATIONAL VIEW Not easy Bush 5proposed tax cuts face opposition from both sides of the aisle • The Truth, Elkhart, Ind., on Bush :S tax cuts: President Bush can't count on getting his new tax-cut proposals past Congress as easily as the first ones went through in 200 I.!'lot only will Democrats give Bush more opposition, many Republicans are uneasy about the consequences of the second round of tax cuts. There is concern about steep losses of government revenue in future years. Bush got a ge nerally good reception from Republicans for what he first presented as an economic growth and stimulus package. Parts of that package are likely to be changed as House and Senate members add their own favored ideas for giving tax breaks to constituents, but something with a "stimulus" label is likely to pass, probably with some Democratic support as well. For the present there is agreement that spending in response to terrorism and threats abroad is necessary even if it results in a substantial deficit. Some even will argue that the current deficit is a useful tonic for the economy. But restructuring future taxes to leave the government's revenue impaired for decades to come is worrisome, because future decades will require high spending for Social Security and health care. Those concerns make the Bush administration's long-term tax proposals doubtful. TODAY IN HISTORY . BY THE ASSOCI ATED PRESS Today is Tuesday, Feb. 18, the 49th day of 2003. There are 316 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Feb. 18 , 1885, Mark Twain's "Adventures of l'luckleberry Finn" was published in the United States for the first time. On this date: In 1546, Martin Luther, leader of the Protestant Reformation in Germany, died. In 1564, artist Michelangelo died in Rome. In I 861, Jefferson Davis was sworn in as president of the Confederate States of America in Montgomery, Ala. In 1930, the ninth planet of our solar system, Pluto, was discovered . . In 1960, the Eighth Winter Olympic Games were formally opened in Squaw Valley, Calif.. by Vice President Nixon. In 1970, the "Chicago Seven" defendants were found innocent of conspiring to incite riots at the 1968 Democratic national convention. In 1972, the California Supreme Court struck down the state's death penalty. In 1977, the space shuttle "Enterprise," sitting atop a Boeing 747, went on its maiden "!light" above the Mojave Desert: In 1988, Anthony M. Kennedy was sworn in as the l04th justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. In 200 I, auto racing star Dale Earnhardt Sr. died from injuries suffered in a crash at the Daytona 500; he was 49. " Ten years ago: President Clinton hosted a campaign-style rally at St. Louis' Union Station to enlist citizen support for his econom ic plan. Five years ago: President Clinton's foreign policy team encountered jeers during a town meeting at Ohio State University while trying to defend the administration's threat to bomb Iraq into •complial)ce with U.N. weapons edicts. Sportscaster Harry Caray died in Rancho Mirage, Calif., at age 83. One year ago: Addressing Japan's national legislature, President Bush said the country 's recession-ravaged economy was "on the path to reform," and he urged the Diet to help curb the spread of terrorism in the region. France's Marina Anissina and Gwenda! Peizerat narrowly won the Olympic ice dancing gold medal. Today 's Birthdays: Actor Jack Palance is 82. Former Cosmopolitan editor Helen Gurley Brown is 81.

Thought for Today: "Temperament is temper that is too old . to spank ." - Charlotte Greenwood, American actress-come- · dian ( 1893·llJ7XJ Misuse of Endangered Species Act After a yearlong review, after thorough scientific study, the U.S . Fish and Wildlife Service declared this week that the California spotted owl is not an endangered species. The federal agency found "no clear statistical evidence," it said, that the medium-size brown owl "is declining throughout its range," which extends from the forests of the Sierra Nevada to the central coastal range to the mountain ranges of Southern California. In fact, some 2,200 nesting sites or"territories have been identified in recent surveys, according to the agency. As such, it concluded, the threat to the bird "does not rise to a level requiring federal protection." Of course, environmental groups were quite displeased with Fish and Wildlife's science-based ruling, which met a court-ordered decision date. They say they will sue to reverse the agency's decision. That's because, if environmentalists had their way, they would staunch practically any kind of human activity - save, maybe, for bird watching - on the hundreds of thousands of acres of land they consider to be the California spotted owl's critical habitat. The enviros are particularly hostile to the timber industry, which is why they so wanted the spotted owl to be designated as an endangered species. It would have Joseph Perkins thwarted loggers from cutting down trees throughout much of the bird's protected range. Commercial logging nearly ground to a halt in the Pacific Northwest a decade ago after the federal government listed the northern spotted owl- a close relative of the California owl - as endangered. The irony is that the restriction on logging would actually be a bad thing for the California spotted owls. For, as the Fish and Wildlife Service notes, "There are now extensive stands of dense regenerated forest that are used by spotted owls and that are also at risk of cata. strophic fire," such · as the blaze last year near several Giant Sequoia · National Monument groves that destroyed owl nesting sites. The enviros are willing to sacrifice so many spotted owls, apparently, as long as they can_ block logging in California forests.

Let's think this through. For a family to hurry the death of a patient, it needs two doctors willing to approve the bogus request and prescribe the lethal medication to carry it out. So the noble men and women who Ashcroft says cannot be asked to compromise their oath are the same ones he fears are corrupt enough to go along with a greedy family member's murder scheme. And if the Hippocratic oath is to be taken as literally as Ashcroft insists, how do we justify cosmetic surgery? Doctors perform invasive surgery on perfectly healthy people, who risk disfigurement and even death. Yet the government does not interfere. Instead, it provides safeguards such as licenses, consent forms and regulations for facilities and personnel. It makes little sense to me why we can use medical expertise for the trivial task of shaping our bodies but not for the sacred task of freeing us from them. If Ashcroft prevails in the Ninth Circuit Court, it will be a loss not just for the people of Oregon but for all of os who hope, when out last hour arrives, we can take our leave to the sounds of a swift river and the slowly fading voices • of our favorite people. :• (Joan Ryan is a columnist l for the S{m Frmrcisco Chronicle.

(AP) Disaster ·from Page AS early Monday in a traffic accident in southwest Ohio, the first death the State Highway Patrol has attributed to the storm. The storm was part of a huge system that charged in from the Plains and moved through the midAtlantic region . The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio said Tuesday that 37,000 customers, including 19,000 in the Portsmouth area, did not have electricity Monday. American Electric Power said it could be Thursday before power was restored to some customers. Temperatures were expected to top the freezing mark late Tuesday afternoon to start a warmup predicted for the remainder of the week to be accompanied by rain, said NWS meteorologist Scott Hickman in Wilmington.

While questions have been raised about who could be host .on • liberal talk show, the bigger question may be the difficulty of mobilizing an audience for such a show. A sign of the liberal dilemma is the code word that they like to use to describe themselves these days - "progressive" which allows them to avoid the word "liberal," which has become al!nost an epithet when used by conservative politicians and pundits . "Part of the impetus for this angry conservative bent of talk radio is the notion that the press is unfair, that it's part of a liberal establishment consr.iracy," said Tom Rosenstie , director for the Project for Excellence in Journalism.

And there are more people in polls who identify themselves as conservative than identify themselves as liberal. ''The search for the liberal equivalent of Rush Limbaugh may be misunderstanding how Limbaugh starts from a natural advantage," said Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania.

"The management of this business is well aware of this court order," Chicago fire Commissioner James Joyce said at a news conference Monday afternoon. An attorney for the club quickly responded to the city's allegations, telling a news conference that his client had a deal to stay open. The club was the site of one of the deadliest stampedes in recent memory. Hundreds of people packed into the secondfloor E2 club on the city's South Side stampeded down a stairwell after security guards broke up a fight and someone sprayed pepper gas or Mace. A lawyer for the club operators suggested someone might have shouted a warning about a terrorist attack. In the resulting _panic, clubgoers found themselves squashed in the stairway, and bodies were flattened against the glass doors.

"Now, everywhere I go, people will ask you, •Are you partying too much ?' That's the No. I question that I get," he said. Just two hours after officially reporting for spring training Monday, the star shortstop planted himself in the dugout at Legends Field, and said he wanted to put owner George Steinbrenner's controversial comments behind. Flashing those neonwhite teeth, and shaking his head repeatedly with an aw-shucks expression, the five-time All-Star said he was irritated not at the Boss for questioning his focus in public, but with the New York Daily News for running a "PARTY ON" backpage headline that portrayed him as a king of the night rather than prince of the Bronx. Clearly, he wasn' t having a ball since that headline hit the newsstands "The No. I concern I had is I didn't want Yankee fans to be thinking that I could care less whether we win or lose," he said. "The way it was painted was that I've lost focus and I'm going to continue to indulge in New York City nightlife and things like that, so that's when I felt the need to say something." Since he became the Yankees' shortstop in 1996, he has been collecting rings as fast as Tiffany Tyson-Etienne fight called off 700 West Main St., Pomeroy 1 Jeter not ·exactly having a party NEW YORK (AP) - A winter storm dumped up to 4 feet of snow on the Northeast and wreaked havoc on the sports . schedule throughout the reg10n.

The Wildcats (20-2) hold the top spot for a second straight week and lOth time this season. Kentucky (20-3), which has the nation's longest current winning streak at 14 games, moved up one spot to second, its highest ranking since it was No. 2 in the final poll of the 1995-96 season when it went on to win the national championship.

Minnesota Timberwolves toward Wally Szczerbiak (10) scores against Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko (47) of Russia during the first quarter Monday, Feb. 17 in Salt Lake City. (AP) Timberwolves edge out Jazz, 109-97 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -While the Utah Jazz took a half to find their focus, the Minnesota Timberwolves gradually lost theirs. "We came out and w.e didn't know where we were going," Utah coach Jerry Sloan said. "We finally settied down and concentrated a little bit harder on what we were trying to do and we started to have a little bit of success." Karl Malone had 28 points, nine rebounds and six assists, and John Stockton added 18 points and II assists as the Jazz rallied from 12 points down to beat Minnesota I 09-97 on Monday night and end the Timberwolves' sixgame winning streak. "That's the reason they're legends, and they prove night in and night out why they get the accolades," Minnesota's Kevin Garnett said of Malone and Stockton. "They are still takin~ it to the best of them. ' · The Jazz shot 59 percent (42-for-71) and improved to II games above .500 for the first time this season. Utah was 22-for-33 from the field in the second half while wearing down Minnesota late in its second game in back-to-back nights. Utah improved to 3-0 against Minnesota and clinched the head-to-head tiebreaker should the two teams finish with identical records. "They are all good wins now," Stockton said. "We're in a tough battle with it seems like every, body - and they're one of them." In other NBA games, it was: Detroit 93, Miami 62 and Portland 99, New York 91. Washington's game against Toronto on Michael Jordan's 40th birthday was postponed until March 4 because of a snowstorm that hit the Northeast. Garnett, ·who scored 37 points Sunday in a 109-102 win over Golden State, had 34 points and 10 rebounds. Troy Hudson added 21 ' points, and Wally Szczerbiak 14, but just two in the second half. Minnesota led by 12 in the first half, but went just 16-for-38 in the second and couldn't keep up with the Jazz late in the third and throughout the fourth quarter. "We did not play particularly well in the first half. but we held together at the end," Malone said. After falling behind by nine early in the third quarter, the Jazz battled to tie it at 71 on a three-point play by Malone and two free throws by Matt Harpring with 4:02 left in the period. Harpring finished with 21 points. The Timberwolves took the lead three more times, but couldn't hang on to it. Andrei Kirilenko went !for-2 from the line to cut the lead to 77-76 with 1:47 left in the third . After a turnover, Harpring hit a 20foot jumper that gave the Jazz their first lead since the opening quarter. "They came out and played extremely physical and we lost our concentration," Minnesota coach Flip Saunders said. "They had 17 or I 8 Iayups there. The No. I thing you want to do is take away their Jayups and we didn't do that." Garnett got Minnesota to 9 I -90 with a 3-pointer and a dunk, but Utah responded with an Il-l run, and the Timberwolves never recovered.

(AP) - A medical examiner will sort out the circumstances that caused the death of Steve Bechler, a newlywed, expectant father and pitching prospect for the Baltimore Orioles. Bechler died of heatstroke Monday, less than 24 hours after a spring training workout that sent his temperature to I 08 degrees. He was an overweight athlete pushing himself in warm, humid weather much different from the climate in his native Oregon., And he may have been taking a dietary supplement that has been linked to heatstroke and heart attacks. Broward County medical examiner Dr. Joshua Perper acknowledged a published report that a bottle of a supplement containing ephedrine was found in Bechler 's locker. Regarding the bottle. Perper said: "My understanding is it exists, but we don't have it." Perper said his office planned to begin an autopsy Tuesday, and that it could be two or three weeks before the final results are known. A workout Sunday left Bechler pale and dizzy. When his condition deteriorated, he was carried from the clubhouse to an ambulance on a stretcher. He spent the night in intenstve care and died at 10: 10 a.m. Monday at Northridge Medical Center. Bechler, 23, died of "multi-organ failure due to heatstroke," said William Goldiner, the Orioles' team physician. "He would rebound at times," Goldiner said. "They thought they were getting ahead of it, and then another organ system · would fail." Bechler 's wife, Kiley, due to deliver their first child in April, was at his bedside. They married last year. At 6-foot-2 and 239 pounds. Bechler had battled weight for much of his five-year professional career. Asked about the pitcher's conditioning, manager Mike Hargrove was quoted as say ing it was "not good.'' Goldiner said he wasn't aware of any evidence that Bechler had been taking a dietary supplement such as ephedrine, which has been banned by the NCAA and NFL but not by major league baseball. The Orioles' policy is to discourage the use of the amphetaminelike stimulant, he said. "Weight-loss drugs are never prescribed by us," Goldiner said. "They're never condoned by us." Orioles spokesman Bill Stetka said he could nei·ther confirm nor deny a report by The Washington Times that a bottle of a supplement containing ephedrine was found in Bechler's locker. "We'll cooperate in every way with the medical examiner's office," Stetka said,. "Everything Please ... Bechler, Bl , �·• .Page 82• The Daily '..

Sentinel -l\e ster CLASSIFIED ~rtbune- College basketball Maryland blows out Wake Forest COLLEGE PARK, Md. · (AP) - Maryland jumped at the chance to gain a measure of revenge and first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference even though athletic director Debbie Yow had other ideas. Steve Blake had 21 points and nine assists, and Drew Nicholas scored 19 as the 13thranked Terrapins handed No. 10 Wake Fefest its most lopsided loss of the season, 90-67 on Monday, in a game delayed by a day because of a blizzard. Although the game was hastily rescheduled, the Comcast Center was nearly filled. The starting time of 5 p.m. was not announced until well after noon Monday. That was just fine with the Terrapins, who were eager to get on the court after being confined on campus following a snow stonn that dumped more than 2 feet of snow in the area. "I woke up this morning and I wanted to play," said Calvin Maryland guard McCall, who contributed· nine points and three steals. "When coach called and said the game was on, I was excited." Yow wasn't nearly as e1}thusiastic. Fearful that fans would not be able to dig themselves out of the snow to attend the gwne, she 5ought to get the gwne pushed back. But conference policy dictates thai a game must be played .if both teams and the gwne officials can make it to the arena. "The bottom. lin~ is that we are following the ACC policy set down in 1996. We have two teams. We have eoough officials. There is no reason not to play the game," said ACC associate commissio1}el' Fred Barakat. Ryan Randle had 13 points and 13 rebounds for Maryland (16-6, 8-3), which took away the top spot in the ACC from Wake Forest (17-4, 7 -3) in convincing fashion. · "They · played hard;•: said Josh Howard, who led the Demon Deacons with 20 points. "They got the loose balls, the rebounds · and fmished on their baskets." In other games. involving Top 25 teams, it was No. 3 Texas 77, Texas Tech 65; No. 7 Aorida 77, New Orleans 48; and No. 23 Utah 86, UNLV 80 inOT The gwne between No. 9 Pittsburgh and Georgetown at Washington was postponed because of the snowstorm, and reschedUled for 7 p.m. Thesday at the MCI Center. Wake Forest, which led the nation in rebounding differen, tial (plus-12.5), was outrebounded for the first time this season, 44-24. "When we don't rebound, we don 't have much of a chance," Wake Forest coach Skip Prosser said. The Demon Deacons beat the snow by arriving in town early Saturday, but their trip turned out be a lost three-day weekend. It was their fifth straight Joss at Maryland and seventh in eight games overall against the Terrapins - the exception an 81 -72 victocy at home last month. This time, the defending NCAA champs took the lead for good with a 16-4 run that made it 22- 16 midway through the first half. It was the Terrapins' most lopsided victory in the series over the past 30 years. "I'm really proud of the team, the way the players prepared," Maryland coach Gary Williams said. "There was a lot of back-and-forth as to whether this game was going to be played or not. I thought we kept our focus and carried out the game plan, especially in the rebounding department. We held our own on the boards." · It was an impressive performance.Jl!ven that the Terrapins had no 1dea early in the day if the game would be played. "In my mind, we were flaying," Williams said. "But was worried about the players, because they are 18-22 years old. There is always that tendency tti think that you're not going to play." The Demon Deacons were hoping to build on Thursday's doubleo()vertime victocy over Duke. But after cutting a 17• point deficit to six in the sec· ond half, Wake Forest made only one baskel in the final 10 minutes. After Wake Forest closed to 50-43, Blake made two free throws and Nicholas added a 3-pointer to build the lead to 12. Wake battled back again, closing to 65-59 on two free throws by Trent Strickland. Blake then hit a 3-pointer to spark a 13-2 run that enabled Maryland to pull away for good. Until Strickland's 3pointer with 51 seconds left, the Demon Deacons' last field goal was Howard's three-point play with 10:08 to go. Florida 77 New Orleans 48 At Gainesville, Fla., Florida's Matt Bonner matched the entire New · Orleans team score for score over the first 30 minutes, finishing with 24 points to lift the Gators lo victocy. Bonner, a senior, fell seven points shy of his career high, but Florida (21 -4) matched a program record with its 18th straight home win in this, a rare midseason nonconference matchup. Coached by longtime former ·Gators assistant Monte Towe, the Privateers ( 13-11) were outmatched from . the start.

"The restoration effort in southern Ohio and Mason Counfy, W.Va., includes more than 350 employees from AEP, contractors and other utility companies. " "The largest concentration of workers is in Scioto, Gallia and Mason counties, and access to damaged facilities remains difficult in some areas due to fallen trees." AEP reported 18,033 customers without power in the Point Pleasant, W.Va., area. Those customers might wait until Friday for . restoration of service, according to AEP's news release. The utility company advised customers to be cautious around fallen poWer lines because they carry an electrical current that can cause serious or fatal injury. AEP also asked residents who use backup generators to notify the power company. These generatorsJ'ose a hazard to line workers an customers if they are not property installed, AEP said. "The problem arises when power from backup generators feed power onto distribution lines, which can electrocute personnel working on the lines. "On the other hand, power from AEP lines can feed into the gener· · ator and cause a fire at a residence. To avoid these hazards, be sure to have a backup generator installed by a licensed electrician, and be sure that it has a manual transfer switch to isolate it from the power grid." . AEP also issued the following safety checklist to customers without power: • Don't operate lanterns, heaters or fuel -fired cook stoves without adequate ventilation. • Always refuel appliances outside, away from flames , or sparks. • Wipe up fuel spills immediately. Extra crews dispatched to help restore phone service BY 8mE • Do not burn charcoal. indoors because it releases carbon monox.ide. • Don't allow children to carry candles or oil lamps in the house. • Turn off all major appliances so you can start them gradually once power is restored. This wilt help avoid major damage to sensitive equipment and help prevent circuit overload situations on the electric system. Be sure nothing is left on kitchen ranges and that one light ik left on so you can know when power has been restored. Crews arrive for debris removal BY BRIAN J.

Joyce Romines of Racine and her family are among the 60 Meigs County residents who took refuge in emergency shelters in Pomeroy, Middleport and Syracuse Monday, awaiting the return of electricity and other essential serv1ces. Shelters were established Monday at thq old Veterans Memorial Hospital in Pomeroy, Victory Baptist Church m Middleport and at the Syracuse firehouse, following the weekend's severe snow and ice storm, to accommodate those residents without heat and other utility services. Those shelters will remain open until the residents staying in them are able to return to safe, heated shelters of their own, according to Robert Byer, Meigs County Emergency management director. Byer said residents have come and gone from the shelters since they were opened, but most of those who lWrived at the shelters have remained.

"Some of these folks have made quick trips home to check their heat and electricity, and some have left for good, but most of them are here for the duration," Byer said. "l have no idea how long this is going to last, but I anticipate additional power outages when ice begins to melt from tress and power lines, so we' II probably be here for a few days, at least."
