Man sentenced for work fraud gets shock probation James Rosenberry, 41, of Dover, who has been serving a six-month sentence at Chillicothe Correctional Institution for" larceny by trick, was granted shock probation Monday by Common Pleas Judge Raymond Rice. Rice cautioned Rosenberry, however, to strictly adhere to probation terms if he wants to remain out of prison. The terms are that he maintain fulltime, regular employment; refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages or taking drugs; make monthly restitution payments totaling more than $8700 during the five years of probation, and pay court costs. Rosenberry, represented by Atty. Robert Pietro, was charged and pleaded guilty to seven counts of larceny by trick and failure to apply for pesticide appli- cator and operator licenses.

He was charged in connection with fraudulently obtaining more than $8700 from a Dover woman for yard work. He was sentenced in September on one count of larceny and was placed on probation on the other eight counts and fined $200. Prosecutor Arthur Cunningham said he was opposed to shock probation, noting he felt the man was "given a break" when he was sentenced on only one count. Pietro called Rosenberry and his mother to testify. He also stated Rosenberry indicated his desire to change his ways by pleading guilty to the! nine counts and by requesting shock probation.

Strasburg gets $49,000 for industrial park road STRASBURG The Appalachian Regional Commission has approved a grant of $49,000 for the development of 12th st. NE into an access road for the industrial park here. Total cost of the project will be $70,000. The three-tenths of a mile gravel road leading into the industrial park will be widened to 24 feet and paved. Owners of property adjacent to the 48-acre tract have granted a 60-foot road right-of-way.

The industrial park was established in 1972 and houses one of the plants of Kinder Mfg. a producer of mobile home furniture, and a warehouse for Orrville Leather Mfg. Co. The two firms employ a total of 100 persons. About 30 acres remain available in the park.

Gene Hensel of Strasburg Savings Loan a promoter of the industrial park, said, "We are hoping this new road will encourage other industries to take a look at our area. More industry would provide a higher tax base and more jobs." He noted that the village has long been interested in attracting clean industry and provides easy access to 1-77. Plain Dealer dispute taken to U.S. court CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP)- The Plain Dealer turns again this morning to federal court, where the newspaper is seeking an order to force crafts unions to cross picket lines set up by the Cleveland Newspaper Guild. Contract talks broke off Sunday without progress, the union reported, and no new negotiations were scheduled due to conflicts in the schedule of Cuyahoga County Judge Francis Sweeney, who had been supervising the talks.

The guild accused The Plain Dealer of importing nonunion labor in an attempt to break the strike. The city has an ordinance against strike breaking. Names of six pressmen brought in from other newspapers in the S.I. Newhouse chain were brought out in the federal court hearing, a Guild spokesman said. The spokesman added that testimony showed 19 Plain Dealer employes were trained in Oklahoma City, to fill union jobs in putting out a newspaper.

A spokesman for The Plain Dealer denied the charge, saying the newspaper had "absolutely no plans to import labor to break the strike." Meanwhile, employes of the city's afternoon newspaper, the Cleveland Press, voted to go to court if necessary to prevent the Press from closing down in sympathy with its morning opposition. Club burglarized COSHOCTON Police are investigating a breakin at Hill Top Country Club at Lake Park. Dave Corder, owner, reported that someone broke into the building between 9 a.m. Sunday and 3:37 p.m. Monday.

An inventory is being conducted to determine what was taken. TIMES-REPORTER A M'O DOVER-NEW PHILADELPHIA. OHIO Twin City church women participate in service Deputies check 5 thefts The fluid end of an oil drilling rig pump, valued at $2500, was among five thefts reported to sheriff deputies Monday. The drilling equipment is owned by the Arista Drilling Co. of Shreveport, and was located near County Rd.

21, two miles south of New Philadelphia. John Goodwin of 210 High Dover, reported the theft of a stereo tape player, two speakers and five tapes from his auto parked at The Mustang on Rt. 39. The items were valued at $200. Harry Humphries Jr.

of RD 3, New Philadelphia, reported his auto had been broken into at Humphries' Ford City on County Rd. 21 over the weekend. A tachometer, oil pressure gauge, 8-track stereo tape player, six tapes and two speakers, valued at $180, were stolen. The Kenneth W. Ferrell residence of RD 2, Dover, was burglarized and a Po- laroid camera, silver dollars and a man's watch were stolen.

Eldon Lahmers of RD 1, Dover, reported the theft of several items from the outside of his home. The person believed responsible was traced through a license number of a vehicle and Lahmers said he would file charges. Kenneth J. McCants of RD 1, Newcomerstown, a mobile home dealer, reported the theft of four axles, eight tires and three wheels from his sales lot. Deputies also received a report of vandalism from Anthony Police of RD 1, Newcomerstown.

He said all the windows of his home were soaped and the support pole of a clothesline and support rings of an outdoor swing stand were broken. Damage was estimated at $75. Vandalism also was reported at the St. Peters Catholic Shrine on Lawrence Township Rd. 417.

Extent of the damage was not known. From Kanawha County During the past month, protest leaders have gone to jail and schools have been fire-bombed. Thousands of children have been withheld from school, and angry people have filled the street, declaring their opposition even though the books have been put under lock and key. The textbook review committee, of which I am an alternate member, has now finished its task and issued a compromise proposal. The report recommends that the texts be returned to the classroom, but that no child should be forced to use materials that abridge religious belief or expression.

Adequate textual and supplementary materials would be provided for children whose parents object to the legally adopted books. Acknowledging the rights of parents to have a say in their children's education, the committee has also recommended that changes be made in the textbook selection process so that the views of parents from all segments of the community are taken into account THE BOARD OF education must now decide whether to accept the recommendation of the review committee this would bring down the wrath of textbook protesters, who have vowed that "all hell will break loose" if any offending bopk is allowed back in the schools or to remove the books entirely, which would cripple an already financially shaky system incapable of purchasing a whole new set of books. No matter what the board does, Kanawha County has seen the opening of a Pandora's box. Some ugly demons now roam the hollows of this valley. The ensuing religious crusade by Bible-carrying literalists ha? mystified everyone with one contradiction after another: THEY CHARGE that the books teach children to disobey authority, yet they openly violate the law by keeping their children out of school.

THEY ABHOR permissiveness (hippies, student protesters), yet vow to close the schools and cripple the system unless they are permitted to halve their own way. THEY CLAIM the books advocate violence (the word "kill" is used too many times in one book, they say), yet an anti-textbook minister calls for God to strike dead all members of the board who favor the books. THEY SAY their rights have been denied, yet they step on the rights of those who favor the books by unequivocally demanding that the adopted texts not be permitted back in the schools no matter who wants them. THUS, IN THE name of Jesus, angry denunciations and threats have abounded. To complicate matters, the question of racism has been raised.

The protesters are particularly vocal about the multicultured, multiethnic bent of the books. Writings by Langston Hughes, James Baldwin, Dick Gregory and Malcolm have come under constant fire. The cry at a recent rally, later painted on a wall, "Get the Nigger Books Out," has made both black and white communities sensitive to the racial overtones. A black woman commented recently, "When Chaucer or Shakespeare uses an off-color word, it's called a masterpiece. When a black author tells it like it is, that's called ugly or profane.

Wonder why?" Throughout this struggle, the professional and intellectual integrity of teachers and school administrators has been under attack. Hostile feelings of suspicion and distrust have been unleashed. Many teachers, who have struggled so long for status as professionals, feel the attack and an eroding of their effectiveness. Many of them will never be the same after reading the hundreds of letters to the editor in the local papers which take cracks at them. RELIGION IN Kanawha Valley has for a long time been dominated by pulpit-pounding preachers who dish out weekly sermons of hellfire and damnation, served up to worshipers who are scared to death of going to hell.

Every Sunday the church buses roll not busing students to achieve racial balance as in Boston, but rather to transport lost souls to Jesus or else. Now the same buses are rolling to Charleston loaded with preachers and congregations fired up to get the books out and save the county. Steeped in the belief that there is only one way to salvation, these Christians also maiatairi that there is only one way to education. Unhappy with a language-arts program which develops verbal skills by utilizing role-playing and open-end discussion, the opposition demands a rigid system of education by mechanical learning. To them, education is not a process of drawing a student out, but of pouring facts in.

THE ANTI-TEXTBOOK people of Kanawha County are confused and angry about everything from marijuana to Watergate. Feeling helpless and left out, they are looking for a scapegoat. They are eager to exorcise all that is evil and foul, cleanse or burn all that is strange and foreign. In this religious war, spiced with overtones of race and class, the books are an accessible target. For people who are fearful of the fire of hell and ready for a fire which cleanses and purifies, the clean white pages of the now-famous books make good fuel.

What they forget is that the smoke from such a blaze will linger for a long time in this valley. The pollutants of nearby chemical plants, which hover over the Kanawha River, may do harmful things to the body, but the fumes of burning books are capable of destroying a man's soul, the very soul the people want so desperately and passionately to save.

Donation ruled legal COLUMBUS, Ohio Common Pleas Court Judge William Gillie ruled Monday that Battelle Memorial Institute's offer to donate $36.5 million to help finance a Columbus convention center is legal under the founder's will. The judge found that support of a nonprofit organization for community development would be proper under the will of Gordon Battelle, which stipulated that a portion of the institute's profits be spent for "worthy charitable objects and enterprises."
