I B2 Akron Beacon Journal bd Thursday, June 21,1 984 Newburgh Hts. chief 1 gets suspended term Good afternoon Fran Murphey Lukas was indicted in April Associated Press along with 20 others in an investigation that earlier resulted in the indictment of three suburban mayors and 11 others. The mayors Louis Bacci of Cuyahoga Heights, Armand Mas-ten of Linndale and Arthur West-fall of Valley View have denied any wrongdoing and are awaiting trial. Lukas was a patrolman for 10 years before becoming Newburgh Heights police chief in January 1976. He was suspended following his indictment April 24.

The charges stemmed from a Jan. 24, 1982, party at the Rug-gles Inn, a tavern in Newburgh Heights. Festive notes end St. Cecilia's season "The Saints" are still marching. Not the Dixieland tune, but the St.

Cecilia Choral Society. It was organized in 1921 and named for the patron saint of music. Forty years ago, as a World War II project, the women helped collect phonograph records for the armed forces and hospitals. A Beacon Journal story in March 1944 reported that record players were issued to some Army and Navy units but Newburgh Heights Police Chief James Lukas has been given a suspended jail sentence after pleading guilty to dereliction of duty. Lukas had been accused of allowing gambling at a 1982 party where he had been working off-duty as a security guard.

Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Robert Lawther Wednesday sentenced Lukas to 30 days in jail and fined him $250 plus court costs. Lawther then suspended the jail term. Lukas also had been charged with bribery, complicity in gambling and operating a gambling house. All the charges except the dereliction count were dropped in the plea arrangement, Gary Potts, assistant county prosecutor, said. Potts told Lawther that Lukas was cooperating with authorities in their investigation into allegations of gambling and public ,3 they had few records.

"WHERE QUALITY COSTS LESS!" The council should vote on the plan at Monday's meeting at 8 p.m. in the Town Hall. The council also is to introduce legislation Monday to appropriate $23,500 to improve sections of Ohio 43. The state is paying 90 percent of the project. Plans for the highway improvement were expanded to include berms and better drainage because more state money became available.

The affected sections run from Aurora's southern boundary to Ohio 82 and from Treat Road to the city's northern boundary. Police Chief Ted George is expected to offer suggestions to improve a late-night sales ordinance that has been tabled. The Aurora City Council Wednesday night set conditions for oil and gas drilling permits. The ordinance requires, among other things, that a well be at least 1,000, feet from homes and that it not change the character of the area. The ordinance also requires that the planning commission hold a public hearing before acting on any drilling application.

The council also gave the second of three readings on a plan covering the first phase of a housing development at East Garfield and Eggleston roads. The property is owned by Dr. Leonard J. Gammel. The development, Thorn Hill Estates, would include 25 to 30 houses on 1.5-acre lots.

House Appropriations Committee Wednesday approved a military construction bill that includes $3.7 million for a National Guard helicopter hangar at the Akron-Canton Regional Airport. The committee vote moves the appropriations bill to the House floor. The Senate also must act. The proposed hangar would be on 100 acres in the northwest corner of the airport and would replace a 37-year-old facility. It would be the first stage of a three-year, $6.4 million project that calls for the funding next year of two armory buildings, each costing about $2.4 million, and funding of a $350,000 maintenance shop in the third year.

Rep. Ralph Regula, R-Navarre, a member of the committee, said the helicopters kept at the hangar could be used in the event of natural disasters. "It goes far beyond the defense element," Regula said. Officials have said that construction of the hangar could begin in mid-1985 and that the total program would take until mid-1988. It was estimated that 200 to 400 workers would be employed during construction.

The buildings would house about 51 aircraft and 200 vehicles assigned to the 107th Armored Cavalry Regiment, the 416th Engineer Group and the 1416th Transportation Co. About 75 full-time personnel would work out of the new headquarters, which would be used by National Guard fliers from northern Ohio. The military construction bill also includes $35.4 million for buildings at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and more than $6.4 million for other projects in Ohio. "This bill reflects a growing commitment of construction funds for Ohio," Regula said. "And that means a lot of jobs."
