Statehouse Reporter COLUMBUS (UP! ) - Primary and seco ndary education will get fi rst call on any surplus in the state treasury at the end of next month under th e priority agenda of Gov. James A. Rhodes. However, Rhodes !old a news conference Thursday he does not know how much of a CLEVELAND I UPI l Alfred "Allie" Calabrese Jr., a former defendant in the Danny Greene murder trial , has charged in an interview with the Cleveland Press that prosecutors in the Gree ne case presented evidence in bad fai th, knowing much of it was weak or false.

Cal abrese had been cha_rged with agg ravated murder, aggravated arson and engaging in organized crime, in connection with the bomb slaying of racketeer Greene last Oc t. 6. In a copyrighted story, Calabrese charged that confessed mob hitrnan Raymond W. Ferritto, the state's key witness in the Greene case. lied to authorities to save himself. " If I could be roped int o th is thi ng, anybody could. I was in Atlanta Penitenliary serving II year s when I got word th is Danny Greene gentleman was blown up ," Calabrese said. "Then I look at the newspaper and there 's my picture there and a story saying I'm involved. I mean , I couldn't believe it." he added. Calabrese said he asked his lawyer , Jerry Milano, not to put on any defense for him if the judge rul ed aga inst a dir ec ted ve rd1ct of acquittal. · "The state had nothing an d I wasn't about to try to argue agai nst a big bun ch of nothi ng,'' he argued.

"It's not amatter of what's wise (for enhancing local •upport for schoo ls,)" said Rhodes, " It 's a matter that if there is a surplus, we're going to give it to the schools. '' Rhodes conceded "about 15" other groups are asking for a share of the surplus, including state workers and we lfare lo bby grou ps. ''There's a lot of ·tax spenders." said the governor, adding "We don't know what the Legislature will do." At the same time, Rhodes said he will await the result s of legislative studies of the schoo l fin anc ing problem before r ecommendin g a permanent solution. "We hope to finance the equal yield program next bi en nium without any increase in taxes ," said the governor, adding that he is " nolt rea dy to com mit myself" to a "no~new-tax" pledge for 1979-80. The " equal yield" program is a state subsidy formula devised by the De mocraticcontrolled Genera l Assembly in 19?5. Rh odes .vetoed portions of it, but said "it 's · the law now and we have to go along with it." Th e governor said the equal yield formula "gave fa lse hopes to local schoo l districts." He denied he is giving the same false hopes by promising appropriations of surplus money and calling for an earmarking of state lottery money for education . " I don 't care how you slice it ," sa id Rhodes. " The schoo ls will need mo re money." The t~overnor ass ured reporters that he has told au diences durin g hi s campaign travels that the state lottery money is "a drop in the bucket and won't help the schools." Rhodes said he will not send the Ohio Na tional Guard into Lorain , even i£ requested, to replace 101 striking firefi ghters, because guard members are not trained in fi ghting fires. "I don 't know how we ca n help them," said Rhodes of Lora in 's se ve n-day-old walkout. "We do not train guards to fi ght fir es, and we can't send the Guard if they 're not trained ." Hhodes also said there Is little he can do about widespread strikes by public employees and a pote nti al walkout by state employees, e.cept to place on the Ohio ballot a proposal to establish collective bargaining. . "Th e strike is against the taxpayers," he said. The governor, who has vetoed two coll ecti ve bargaining bills, said he does not know whe ther the Ferguson Act - permitting the firing of striking public employees - works. "That 's up to the local authorities," he sa id. On .other matters, Rhodes said: . - He will continue to ignore his primary opponent, state Rep. Charles F . Kurfess, R· llowling Green. "I'm not running against anybody, I'm rwming for an office," he said. " I have no open host ility Ill ward anybody." - He has asked the Ohio D e par tm e nt of Transportation to investigate whether its own employees have been working for his campaign on state time . U any "serious" findings turn up , he will ca ll in the Ohio Highway Pa trol. Saturday, May 13th from 1 -· Sunday, May 14th from 1 p.m. ·to 6 p.m. Decides against strike and last Monday - much to the disappointmen t of Sigall - the Ohio Civil Servi ce F:mployees Association said it would not join the strike and would not honor any CWA job action. " In the face of those odds, it is ridiculous to consider going ou t on strike now ," Sigall said. Sigall predicted last week , when he a nnounced that his members had •·overwhelmingly" approved a strike, that . the 18,0(16-member OCSEA would join the more militant CWA. The two unions held a joint rall y last month on the Statehouse steps in -protest of the 21kent to 41kent pay raise granted all 82,000 State workers. However . OCSEA dir ector Pa trick So rohan said Monday a survey of his membership did not war rant a strike. "It is too much to ask 6,000 good people to risk - to abandon - their jobs and their fami lies when 82,000 other public employees are too dam ned a pathet ic to repond," said Sigali .."We arc sometimes outrageo us , sometimes ;tupid, bu t we are not crazy ." Sigall admitted that his strident talk of a st rike 10 days ago hurt his union's position and embarrassed the leade rship and he said the CWA proba bly would have to adopt "guerilla tacitcs." " U we have to become a guerilla outfit , then we'll be a b'Uerilla outfit ," sai d Sigall, adding that at some point his union would "have to come GIFTS FOR down out of the hills" and lead the union's unioni1ation effor t for Ohi o pub li c workers. Siga ll said 10 days ago he had every reason to believe tha t th e OCSEA , Ohio's largest public employ ee organization, would join the CWA in a strike. But he charged that Sorohan and oth er OCSEA lea ders misled their leadersh ip in the survey on whether OCSEA would support a strike. Siga ll also pledged that his un ion would always honor another public employees' union picket lines, contrary to Sorohan 's urgings ea rlier this week. Siga ll · stressed that the cw,\ member's authoriza tion for a strike is still in force.

I vign.ettes. • • By Tom Saunders GALLIPOLJS - I like my articles lo deal with historical happenings that took place in this county. This column deals with Keystone Furnace which was in Jackson County. This iron furnace had a great influence on lhe people of the Vinton area. The furnace was built in 1848 by John McConnell and Com pany . Section 12 Bloomfield Township was 'where the furna ce was set up and it was located on the banks of Lillie Raccoon Creek. The deal was promoted by John Campbell, the prominent and successful furnace man of Lawrence Co unty . The builders planned to barge the iron made at Keystone down Little Raccoon Creek to the Ohi o. The iron was loaded on rafts, which were buill of heavy logs. The whole outfit was lhen fl oated down the creek during the spring rise. The mill dams over which the rafts had to pass proved hazardous and after several rafts were wrecked this method of transportation was abandoned . The co mpany was compelled to haul their product out by wagon until the coming of the railroad to Jackson in 1853. The stack for this furnace was cut out of a sandstone cliff. The furnace produced ten to twelve tons of hot blast iron per day. The company store and school were both large two story brick buildings . The school at Keystone was regarded as the finest lobe found in any of the furnace communities. The manager 's home was the settlement's finest house. It was a fine two story frame dwelling . Most of the furna ce workers lived in small log bourses . The furnace passed into the hands o6 Green, Benner and Company in 1853 and they operated it successfull y until 187l when H. S. Bundy look it over. Operations ceased in 1885 after a long and successful career. I have been told when Keystone was in blast at night the light could be seen in Porter . One of the workers at the furna ce lived at Mercerville. Once when he walked home for a visit it was during winter and bitter cold. He was followed nearly all the way by a wildcat th_, could scent bacon in supplies that were for the man's family . . Keystone F'urnace 1s located about five mtles northwest of Vinton. All the buildings are gone, only a portion of the stack remains. I received a letter this week from Mrs. Mary Rusk James . Her father, Herbert Rusk. ran a meat shop at 258 Third · Ave . He paid John Schreck 11.000 for this business. Mr. Schreck said he was going out of business, but later opened another meat shop. Mr . Rusk moved his shop to where the post office is now. A slaughterh ouse was run in the back of the !.1ore: A bologna called "Black Leona" was one of the specialties of the house. · The local gentry would gather in the back of the store and enjoy ·sandwiches made of Mr. Rusk's Black Leona sausage. Mrs. James said she was often sent to Ulsamer's saloon to get a gallon bucket of beer. That's when you greased the inside of lhe bucket so t hat you got more beer and not so rnuch foam; the cost was one d1me . I wish to thank Mrs. James ATTEND CONF'ERENCE - Mrs. Carl Gillespie, Mrs. Glennis Stantz, Mrs. Ronald Joe Wilson and Mrs. 0 .

Sundal;, April30, 1978 LAKE& by Don Watts STREAM CENTER HILL DIARY Cove Hollow Dock on Su.nday afternoon, April 9, looked like Coney Island ; but I knew from past experience that these ple.asure boaters would be off the lake come Monday. I was ready for four days of bass fishing on Ce nter Hill Reservoir, one of the best small mouth bass lakes in tlle United States. Center Hill Reservoir located about 65 miles east of Nashville, Tenn., is a man-made U.S. Corp . of Engineer Lake of large size with hun<freds of miles of shoreline . It is a deep lake, full of shad minnows ; and is ideal small mouth water . Geologically it is \ocatfd in the Cumberland Plateau area. The beautiful limestone cliffs and formation s will often cause one tn stop fishing and just admire the scenery . The lake also offers excellent walleyed pike fishing; and has its sha re of large mouth bass, white bass (stripes), Kentucky bass, crappie, and the usual assortment of small er game fish and rough fish . Rockfish and muskies have not been introduced into Center Hill Reservoir as they have in many surroWJding iakes such as Dale Hollow and Percy Priest Reservoirs. Cove Hollow Resort is one of several good full service resorts on the lake providing cabin or motel living quarters, boats, motors, gasoline, a restaurant, tackle, bait, etc. Other good resorts offering similar service are Hurricane Dock Resort, Silver Point Resort, Four Seasons Re5Qrt. Sligo Boat Dock, Pates Ford Dock, and Webbs Camp Dock. The state of Tennessee ha s built many excellent campgroWJd>l and launching areas on the lake. and the camper and boater will find excellent facilities. I have been fishing Center Hill spring and fall for some 20 years, and have had some of the best small mouth fishin g possible, as well as, my share of fa ilu res. Have found fish and lak e knowledge to be more important on Center Hill and other such deep, clear water lakes than on shallower lakes. I was very disappointed when I first viewed the lake. The lake level was ten to fifteen feel lower than its normal spring level. As a rule in early spring, tlle lake is up in the Willows and shoreline treeS, as well as ha\ing some color in the water. I was informed that rainfall had been far below normal tllis spring, and that tlle coal strike had resulted in the electrical generating faciliti es at the dam being used to capacity. As the electric plant uses lake water for its generation, this ai5Q had pulled at the lake level. .. I knew that the low water level and 'the clear water would result in tough fishing, rut with the eternal optimism of a fishennan, I mentally formulated my plans to do bat tle with the Center Hill smallmouths. Surface water temperature was 5() degrees. From past experience, I would have preferred around 55 degrees. I was tired from trailering my bass rig the 400 miles fr om Gallipolis, Ohio, but I had to get in a few casts late Sunday afternoon. There were still many pleasure boaters and 5Qmc water skiers on the lake. This heavy lake traffic had resu lted in muddy water in many places close to the banks. I headed for a nearby cove that received little boat traffic. My yo ungest son , Brad, was fishin g the rear seat. He decided tn fish a natural shad finished "Cordell " Hot-Spot. This is a small , plastic crank bait witll a fast wiggle that rWJs 3 feet tn 5 feet deep. On his fifth cast , he received a very solid strike. and hooked his fish. It is really a pleasure to see a young and inexperienced fishennan tie into a good fish. The smile ran from ear to ear. He was immediately up off the seat and yelling that he had hooked Jonah 's whale. After some 30 seconds, it was clear from the rod bend that he had hooked a good fish. We adjusted his reel drag tension to a higher sening as the fish wa s taking line faster than he could reel. Center Hill sma II mouths like to jump when hooked . and the aerial display is often spectacular. This fish did not jump . He fough t a deep and detennmed ftght. Often the larger small mouths will fig ht this way rather than jumping. . After several minutes, the fi sh was at the boat, and we _ were looking eye tn eye at a six pound channel catfish th at had been cruising the muddied shore water. I grabbed the landing net for the job of boating the fish. The dorsal £in spike on a six poWJd catfish is a formidable weapon , and I am coward enough to put the odds in my favor . It wa~ a beautiful £ish with it:; blue· black ba ck and its white sides were covered w1tll the dots that distinguish the channel catfish from _its other catfish cousi n~.

Ageot, Agrjculture · Meigs County POMEROY - Lawns that have large dead areas in the fall have almost sure signs of grubworm damage. And, with the bartning of chlordane, a long-lasting ~rub control . chemical , thmgs could get worse, says Richard L. Miller, Extension entomologist, The Ohio State University. "I look for grubworms to become one of our more serious turfgrass pests," he says, "particularly with only short-lasting materials now approved to control them. " There are four major groups of grubwonns considered pests in Ohio, he says. These include the May beetles (June beetles ), Northern masked chafer (also called annual white ' grub ), Japanese beetle and a relatively new golf course grub -Ataenius spretulus. Miller says it is important to unders tand the grubworm' s life cycle in order to understand the controls. "We must learn the weak points in these pests' development to de term ine when an application of chemicals would be most effective" he says. Japanese beetle and Northern masked chafer begin feeding in April but change t.o the non-feeding stage in May and emerge as adults in June. Eggs of the sununer generation hatch in early August and grubs feed dunng August and Sep- tember . Jly mid-October the . larvae move down into the 5Qil to form over:wintering cells. May beetles require lhree years to complete the life cycl e. in this group , the grubs do their greatest amount of feeding on the · roots of grasses the second year. During the first year, they are too small to cause injury and the third year they feed for only a few weeks before changing to lhe inactive ·pupal stage. The abundance of these beetles and the damage they do in Ohio varies more than that of the other grubs. They may cause severe damage to a particular area one to two years and then disappear from the scene for no apparent reason . The life cycle of the Ataenius spretulus grub is still under investigation . However, some preliminary informaton is available from Research Entomolog ist Harry Niemczyk, OARDC, Wooster. In 1917, these beetles were seen in Southern Ohio as early as March 15 . Light trap samples first recorded adults March 29 with large numbers being caught April 18. Eggs were found on golf course fairways on May 2 -in Sou thern Ohio. First generation adults showed up Jun e 24 and se cond generation eggs were foWJd July 7, larva e on July 19 and adults on August 22. By Oclober, adults were seeking overwintering sites located in well-drained, loose 5Qil at the edge of nearby wooded areas surr ounding golf courses. AteanJus adults mate in the fall before hibernating. How toCheckforGruhs One of the best ways to , determine if you have grubs is to examine the grass roots in several areas of the iurf during April·May of July through September, says Miller.
