0. 0 0 0 0.000 State EditionS UR JOURNAL, FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1976 Court blocks state effort to stop Stearns logging operation By JAMES R. RUSSELL Courier-Journal Staff Writer FRANKFORT, state's attempt to halt a large timber operation owned by Robert Gable was blocked yesterday i in Franklin Circuit Court. State officials, however, say that they are not through, and the case is developing into a test of the Wild Rivers Act, environmental issues and individual property rights. Gable, who opposed Gov.

Julian Carroll in last year's governor's race, strongly hinted that politics was involved in the state's move to ban logging on his large tract of land in McCreary County. A state official denied the charge, saying that he would have preferred that the timberman had been a "prominent Democrat." Yesterday's ruling by Franklin Circuit Judge Henry Meigs, however, was no clear victory for either side. the state's timber operation Meigs' temporary, injunction against allows Gable to begin logging. But it also lifted any restraint against the state to investigate the property to determine if the environment was being damaged. Here are the events that led to yesterday's Last week the state Department for Natural Resources and Environmental Protection issued an order to Gable's firm, the Stearns Coal and Lumber to stop a timber operation involving some 10,000 acres near the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River.

The state acted under an emergency law that can curtail a "legal" operation if its side effects are "unlawful." In this case, pollution and sedimentation of the river were cited. Gable sought a restraining order against the state and filed a complaint in Franklin Circuit Court, contending that the state had overstepped its bounds. "This is the first trigger pull of a great war," Gable said yesterday in an interview after the court hearing. "There's a great deal of precedent here," he said, explaining that the state was "trying to force us to get permit to cut trees when there is no law that a permit is needed." Gable said that the logging operation is not under way, but that he had written the state environmental agency, outlining his plans. He said that he wrote the letter to get any legal questions answered.

"We'd like to be thought of as not whacking around in a wilderness to try to win a case," he said. He said that the state apparently was not willing to answer the legal questions, and halted the operation before it was begun. "So we'll start cutting," he said, adding that he expected that the courts will answer whether or not "I own the property and rights I have and if they are any different from others." Perry White, chief counsel for the state environmental agency, said in a separate interview that Gable's logging will be "at his own risk." "We didn't win and we didn't lose," he said, referring to Meigs' ruling. "He (Meigs) upheld the right for the department to regulate any activities that might adversely affect the environment even though those activities per se are not prohibited," White said. Flat rate on some phone calls ordered The Courier -Journal Bureau FRANKFORT, Ky.

A flat rate for calls between Eminence and La Grange exchanges of South Central Bell Telephone Co. has been ordered by the state Public Service Commission (PSC). In lieu of regular toll charges, the flat rate, to be set within 45 days, will cover one hour per month of calls between the two exchanges. Added time will be charged on a pro rata basis of the flat rate. The order grew out of a request from residents of the Mount Olivet Road- Jericho Farms area of Henry, County for La Grange phone service.

PSC denied that request and ordered the flat rate, usually at least a 60 per cent discount from regular tolls, a PSC staff official said. The PSC also approved big rate increases for two small sewer systems in Jefferson County. Hillridge Facilities Inc. was allowed rates which will produce $60,984 a year, more than three times, the present revenue. The corporation had asked for $71,680 a year.

(AP) A car-truck collision has killed three Paris youths. State identified the dead as Carle Dale, police, Wells and Terry Coff, all 16. Police said Anthony Perkins, 17, and Darryl Leggett, 17, were injured in the mishap Wednesday. The car in which they were riding skidded during a thunderstorm after hitting a pool of water on KY 36, a half mile west of Carlisle and collided with the truck. The driver of the truck, Garlet Livingood, was treated for minor injuries police said.

"And we'll proceed with our investigation, because to our knowledge this is the largest clear-cutting proposal ever in the commonwealth," he said. (Clear-cutting is a forestry practice in which all trees in an area are harvested.) Gable denied that the entire acre tract will be clear -cut, adding that the extent of clear-cutting is yet to be determined. Gable acknowledged yesterday in court that he was attempting to "grandfather" the tract of land before the state's new Wild Rivers Act becomes effective June 19. By getting the operation going now, its use would not be restricted when the new lave goes into effect or the logging operation would be grandfathered under the old law. Gable also said that he wanted to harvest the timber before the federal government condemns and buys the land as part of the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River national river and recreation area.

But he pointed out that the federal acquisition could be years away. Gable was critical of the state for not pursuing its action against him under the present Wild Rivers Act. He theorized yesterday that if the court had ruled in the state's favor under the Wild Rivers Act, then the state would have had to condemn and buy it. Asked if politics had entered into the issue, Gable said: "I can only observe that no other timberman has ever been stopped from cutting on his own land on a claim of possible water pollution." White denied the charge. wish that it was a prominent Democrat," he said.

Sand, low water block tow traffic Continued From Page 1 four to 15 barges each, Lockmaster Louis Kelly said yesterday. He said "two or three" boats locked through during the night and probably had "punched through" the sand before the Columbus dredging closed off the channel. He said there were three towboats above the dam and three below it at 8:30 a.m. but that the "ones heading upstream aren't going far until the channel is recut." Downstream traffic faced no difficulty, except for the crookedness of the Cumberland, if headed up the Cumberland or the Tennessee, Kelly said. Denney McCarty, assistant lockmaster at the new high-lift dam at Uniontown, said yesterday "nothing is passing through the locks here." He said employes were taking advantage of the lull to clean out drifts from the lock chamber and perform other maintenance work.

Uniontown Dam deepens the river behind it and sometimes water can be released through it to raise the pool to ease channel shallowness below. But McCarty said yesterday "there hasn't been enough water built up behind this dam to permit a release that would do any good where the river is blocked." Birkman, chief of the navigation section, operations division, of the corps' Louisville district, said dredging the Ohio is an assignment of the St. Louis district, which lets contracts for much of it. He noted that the low-water season, when dredging ordinarily becomes necessary, is a month earlier than usual this year. Also, he said, the St.

Louis district's dredge St. Genevieve, which might have been used between Paducah and Smithland, is in use on the Illinois River. rates of $7.50 a month for the first 2,000 gallons.

New pay plan of state explained Continued From Page 1 most productive employes would be able to save money, which then should be used to reward the best workers. The special groupings plan will be financed with $28 million in new appropriations for the next two years. This money will be distributed on the basis of decisions by the personnel department.

That department will consider factors such as the relative level of duties and responsibilities of various categories of workers and the ability of the state to recruit and retain employes in special groupings. Carroll said in his budget message to the 1976 General Assembly that he intended to restructure the state pay plan "to improve the incentive for productivity." The new pay system will apply to employes covered by the, merit system. That includes about cent of all state workers. 50 60 60 70 70 '80 Snow Figures show high Flurnes temperatures XXXX 80 for area Rain Cold Warm Data from Showers Stationary Occluded NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.
