"W~re holding our own," commented Emergency Services Director Robert Byer. "Everybody's trying to get back to work today." However, Byer noted that a Level II emergency is still in effect, meaning all roads are passable, but remain hazardous. If possible, motorisls should stay home. Four-wheel-drive vehicles conslituted a sizable percentage of dll ·vehicles on !he road and most drivers made it to where they were going · without incident. The Meigs County Sheriffs Department reported no snow-relat· ed accidents. Byer could verify no snow-relat- ed injuries in the county, but a snow· covered patio at the Jan Zahrain residence on Locust Street in Pomeroy collapsed due to the weight of the snow. The Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene, but no injuries were reported. Approximately 12 to 13 inches of snow fell Saturday and Sunday. Meanwhile, one to three inches of new snow greeted county residents ·this morning, resulting in addilional work for state, county, township and village snow removal crews. Around the state, motorists minded the sheriffs when they were ordered to stay off snowy roads during the first big stonn of !he year in Ohio.

The only deficit funds for December shown on paper were: public transportation at minus $20,270.76, and the COPS Fasl program at minus $2,708.97. Village Clerkffreasurer Dennis Hockman explained !hal the public lransportation deficit was from the village's past operation of cab services. The village has since turned that over to a. private company, and the amount is basically what the vil)age owes itself. COPS Fast program monies are simply cash !low monies for the village. . Hockman said he intends to con· tact State Auditor Jim Petro's office ro clarify what must be done to eliminate the public transportation fund from the village's books, since it will not be used again. Council unanimously approved Sheriff's Dispatcher Carol Brown in north-cenlral Ohio. A stonn that began Sunday dumped up to 18 inches of snow on the state. All but northeastersn and extreme north· western Ohio were affected. Snow began falling again early today in central and northern Ohio.

Writer WASHINGTON -As U.S. troops begin to pull out from Haiti, a debate with partisan ovenon~s beginning over whether the $2 billion U.S. investment to get the country back on its feet has been worth it. To the Clinton adminisll'1llion, Haiti is an almost unambiguous foreign policy triumph. Officials claim the U.S.-led intervention ended the slaught,er of innocents in Haitl, restored the elected government an.d helped lay the groundwork for the country's first democratic presidential transition next month. With not a single U.S. combai'vict1m, Rep. Alee-; Hastings, D' Fia., calls l]le,policy an "unqualified success." To the Democratic claims of victory, Republicans are, in effect, saying, ':Not so fast." The vehemence '!f the Republican complaints about the Hatti poltcy suggest the GOP rna~ see it as a potential presidential C3111paign issue. . Indeed, Haiti faces some crucial tests in the commg months. A few short weeks after President-elect Rene Preval is installed next month, the 5,800member U.N. peacekeeping force, including about 2,200 Americans, will tie gone, leaving Haiti to fend for itself for the first time smce the r.eturn of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide 15 months ago. The first Americans started returning home last week. A partial list of Republican complaints: - Polittcal violence has re-emerged m Haib. Members of Aristide's government were implicated in the death last March of a conservative opponent and ~I officials acknowledge that Hatlian officials obstructed FBI effons to investigate. -Administration officials stonewalled last fall when members of Congress tried to learn the results of the FBI mqutry. The cover-up allegations have been strongly denied by the State Department -More than 100 former officers of the despised Haitian armed forces have been integrated into the newly constituted Haiuan National Police, including some who, the .administration says, may have committed criminal acts -The privatization of inefficient state-owned entities m Ha1ti has come to a vi{lual halt. Last fall, widespread opposition to the program forced the pro-privatization prime minister to restgn. Rep. Dan Burton~ R-Ind., chairman of the House International Relations subcommittee on Western Hemtsphere Affairs, cites these and other factors ln ,assailillg America'\ policy m tfaiti. The U.S. commilmFnt. ,he. ~ys, ~' is ,, not going to solve the problem. I believe that once the (U.N.) troops leave, you're 'going to see the same chaotic condttlons we've seen.in the past." While acknowledging that Haiti is still a work m progre!;S, the administration ts womed that a meddlesome Congre~s could undo much of the good that has occurred there. As an example, a congressional freeze qn a ]lQnion ofthe aid program means 1,500 prospective policemen won't recei;ve training frqm American, French and Canadian experts. Because of a lack of funds, the training center will be lorced to shut down next week. That, the administration argues, is an invitation to disaster because Haiti won't have adequate numbers of public securjty forces who are sorely needed to mflintain stability once the U.N. peacekeepers leave. Officials also point out that the most dire predictions of Republicans in 1994 have not been realized. Under one such scenario, Aristide and his allies would engage, on their return to power, in a wave of retribution against supporters of the repressive regime which U.S . forces helped depose. This has noi'OCcurred. ', The dispute here boils down to a disagreement over what should constitute sUccess in Haiti. To the administration, Haiti, thanks to American resolve, is no longer the hopeless, terror-stricken, refugee-producing country it was in 1994. But to Rep. Benjamm Gilman, R-N.Y., it's not enough to say that Aristide is doing better than the disere4ited predecessor re~ime. EDITOR'S NOTE.,..

"It's disappointing," Perez said. "I don't know what will happen next year. I can go down. You never NEW YORK (AP) - For more than two decades, Phil Niekro, Don Sution and Tony Perez consistently were among the best players in baseball. The Hall of Fame, however, is all about the greatest, most dominant players ever. Niekro, Sutton, Perez were again shut out Monday when; for the first time in 25 years, the members of the Baseball Writers failed to elect a single player to the shrine. "I think it's getting harder and harder every year to get into the Hall of Fame," Perez said. from Puerto Rico. "the baseball Hall of Fame is hard to get into right now. You have to have really super numbers; you' ve got to be Babe Ruth or Hank Aaron." It takes 75 percent support for election. Niekro was listed on 68.3 percent of the ballots, followed by Perez with 65.7 percent and Sutton at 63.8 percent. Niekro and St~tton each won more than 300 games, a total that 'used to considered automatic for election."Bui those numbers were n~enough, nor were the ones posted b Perez, 16th on baseball's career RB s list. The 15 above him are in the Hall of Fame. Instead, voters seem to feel that Niekro, Sutton and Perez were testa- know:~ TONY PEREZ ments to longevity, rather than excellence. The voting marked just the seventh time overall - and first since 1971- that the BBWAAdid not pick at least one player since the original · selections in 1936. · Niekro, on the ballot for the fourth lime, got 321 votes, 32 short of the 353 needed for election. The knuckleballer had a career record of 318274. "I really have nothing to say," Niekro said in Atlanta. Perez, on the ballot for the fifth time, was listed on 309 of the record Sulton, on the ballot for the third time, got 300 votes. He was 324-256 lifetime. "He pitched a lot of games for me, won a lot of ball games for me," said Sutton's fanner manager, Tom Lasorda. "You talk about durability, the guy never missed a~ assignment He was a winner. I'll tell you, he belongs in the Hall of Fame." No eligible pitcher with more wins than either Sutton or Niekro has been left out of tlie Hall. But Niekro never won a Cy Young Award in his 24 years, and neither did Sutton during his 23 seasons. Perez, who hit 379 homers, never led the lcag11e, in home runs or RBis in 23 years. The last time a player was elected by the BBWAA beyond his first year of eligibility .was 1992, when Rollie Fingers made it on his second try. "The absence of an electee this year emphasizes the exclusivity of membership· in the Baseball Hall of Fame," Hall of Fame president Donald Marr said.

Toledo was the only dissenting vote in the 12-1 balloting Sunday by the MAC's council of presidents during league meetings held in conjunction with the NCAA convention in Dallas. Two of the biggest rivals in the MAC - Bowling Green and Toledo - will be in separate divisions. lppoliti said the league members. in consultation with coaches and administrators, had approved an exception that would permit Bowling Green and Toledo to meet annually in football and basketball. · Toledo athletics director Allan Bohl said he was concerned about preserving football rivalries in the conference. · "Football is the key part of the reasoning behind this move and we see significant differences between the division we are in and the other division in regards to history and strength of programs," Bohl told The Blade in a story _published today. The divisional setup applies to six sports: football , men 's and women's basketball, volleyball. baseball and softball. lppoliti said the alignment was based on several considerations, but the top three were geography, cost containment and mai,ntaining rivalries. ~ In football, lppoliti said a team would play each divisional opponent once and three opponents from the other division, rotating those three every two seasons. In baslcetball, the fonnat has not been finalized. lppoliti said the ISgame conference schedule, would include some double-rou.nd . robin .scheduling and some interdivisional games.

Spurrier offered Buc job, papers say TAMPA. Fla . (AP) - Steve Spurrier, whose bid to win Florida's first national title was foiled 1by Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl, has been offered the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' coaching job, The Tampa Tribune reported Tuesday. · Reached outside his office M!lnday night, the coach told the newspaper he expects to make a decision Tuesday. "I spoke to (the Bucs), I don't think thai's any big secret,"· Sp~rrier said. "I' ve listened this year, which is something I haven 't done in the past. · I just don't know." Buccaneers general manager Rich McKay is conducting the 'search for a successor to Sam Wyche. "We've said all during this process .that we will not discuss who we've. talked or are going to talk to ," club spokesman Chip Namias said Monday night. " It is the organization's preference that it be done without responding various reports." Spurrier did not return several messages left at his home Monday night and c~lls to his office went unanswered. Fonner Dallas coach Jimmy Johnson confinned last weekend he has talked with Tampa Bay officials, who have not unveiled a timetable for hir-· ing a coach. Spurrier told the newspaper he also had had conversations with the Miami Dolphins about the prospect of replacing Don Shula, who retired last Friday. Johnson also tops the Dolphins' list of candidates to replace Shula. Wyche was fired·Dec . 27 with one year remaining of a five-year, S3 .9 million contract. He compiled a 23-41 record in four seasons, including a 79 finish in 1995. Florida lost its shot at a national title when it was routed by Nebraska 62-24 in last .week's Fiesta Bowl. The Gators .(l2-l) finished No.2 in the nation. Spurrier 's contract at Florida includes a rollover clause that extends it through 2002 yet also provides the ·coach with a window of opportunity each year in which he can talk to NFL teams. · The one-week period Spurrier has to discuss pro job~ expires Tuesdily. Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley, reached in Dallas where he is attending the NCAA convention, said he did not know if Spurrier had been contacted by the Bucs. "There 's nothing new on that front," Foley said. "There's always rumors regarding coach Spurrier and the NFL." Foley said a contract extension that would make Spurrier one of the highest paid college coaches in the nation has been on ·the table' for about a month. Asked if as far as he knew that Spurrier intends to stay at Florida. the athletic director said: "That's the indication he 's given me." Tennessee governor says move of Oilers to Nashville in hands of state legislature NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee Gov.

"If the General Assembly fails to pass it, it will be a blemish on the state of Tennessee," Sundquist said at a meeting in which he told Nashvillearea lawmakers their support would be crucial. The meeting came as the city began selling personal seat licenses for the proposed new $124 million stadium where the Houston Oilers hope to play in 1998 and on the eve of the legislative session that begins today. The governor attempted to answer question s raised by local lawmakers who must vote on the stale's $79 mil·lion part in the stadium by March I0. Some Nashville legislators, including Senate Finance C!lmmittee chairman Doug Henry, have raised questions about the state's liability and whether the NFL teamreally benefits Nashville. Henry, D-Nashville, questioned the economic benetits. " Those same Tennesseans would be spending that money on taxable goods and services any .way," he said.

The company plans very few sales about 5 percent- within the state, he added. Parsons & Wltittemore, based in Rye, N.Y., began negotiating with the state in 1988 to build the pulp and paper mill in Apple Grove. Gov. Gaston Caperton said earlier that he favors the tax credits. "If we're going to create jobs in this state, we have to have tax credits," Caperton said. "We have to be able to lend money and we have to be able to build roads and sewers." Environmentalists and labor organizations have opposed the mill, claiming the company isn't using the latest safe technology and that it w.on't commit to hiring West Virginia labor. Goddard said he felt a need to clarify the nature of the discussions with the developmenl office because some media are reporting as if the taxpayers will be payi~g this money out of current revenue. He said it actually relieves tax burljens and will provide jobs. If the plant doesn't go ahead, there won't be taxes anyway. The forgiveness of tax- _ es will only be if the business takes off, he said.

Barrett, who took the witness stand to testify as to why he thought his client was incompetent, said, "I dido ' t seem to be able to get through to him.
