GM Schools to place 

levy/bond issue on ballot 

By Rick Palsgrove 

Southeast Editor 

The Groveport Madison Board of 

Education plans to place a combined operating 

levy and bond issue on the May 7 ballot. 

The board took the first step to do so on 

Jan. 9 by approving a resolution of necessity. 

The proposed 6.10 mill continuing operating 

levy would not result in higher taxes 

and, if approved by the voters, would 

replace the current five year 6.68 mill levy 

that will expire on Dec. 31, 2019. 

Groveport Madison Treasurer John 

Walsh said, even if this proposed levy passes, 

the district will still most likely go back 

to the voters in “four or five years” for additional 

operating fund monies to keep up 

with expenses in the future. 

The proposed levy will be combined into 

one ballot issue with a proposed 37-year, 

$83.6 million bond issue that would generate 

funds to build three new pre-K through 

sixth grade elementary schools and one 

new middle school for grades seven and 

eight. The bond issue would also provide 

funds to demolish the existing elementary 

schools and middle schools. If the plan is 

approved by voters, it would reduce the 

number of schools in the district from 10 to 

five. 

If voters approve the bond issue to build 

the schools, the Ohio Facilities 

Construction Commission would fund 53 

percent of the estimated $148.7 million 

project and Groveport Madison would fund 

47 percent with the district’s local share 

being $83.6 million.

According to Walsh, if the bond issue is 

approved, the estimated increased annual 

property tax for the owners of the following 

valued homes would be: $100,000 market 

value: $164.96; $125,000 market value: 

$206.20; $150,000 market value: $247.44; 

$175,000 market value: $288.68; and 

$200,000 market value: $329.92 

After meeting three times in December 

to discuss future building options, the 

Groveport Madison Facilities Planning 

Team - made up of community members, 

parents, students, and district staff members 

- recommended building three new 

pre-K through sixth grade elementary 

schools and one new middle school for 

grades seven and eight to the board of education 

on Jan. 2. The pre-K through sixth 

grade buildings would hold about 1,067 

students each and the middle school would 

hold about 1,000 students. 

The location of where the new schools 

would be built has not been determined. 

The district already owns two large sites: a 

40 acre site where Glendening Elementary 

and Middle School South now stand and 

another 40 acre site where Sedalia 

Elementary and Middle School North 

stand. The other existing elementaries and 

Middle School Central stand on smaller 

acreage. 

The three proposed pre-K through sixth 

grade buildings would follow a neighborhood 

school concept and be built in areas 

around the district so students could 

attend a school closer to home. The goal is 

to make the new middle school site as central 

as possible to meet the district’s bus 

transportation goals, according to the 

Facilities Planning Team 

“It depends on available property,” said 

Groveport Madison Superintendent Garilee 

Ogden during one of the Facilities Planning 

Team’s December meetings, adding that 

the board could decide to purchase more 

property as potential school sites. 

“We have to be mindful about purchasing 

property,” said Ogden. 

At one of the Facilities Planning Team’s 

December meetings, Walsh said it may be 

difficult to find an appropriate building site 

in the central area of the district. 

According to district officials, two-thirds 

of the district’s students reside north of 

U.S. Route 33 and one third reside south of 

that highway.

Cruisers were 8-0 in dual meets, 

came in first in tournaments at 

Granville and Bexley, and second in a 

tournament at Logan. At right, Cruiser 

wrestler Nick Brookman gets a strong

Prior to the start of the Cruisers’ 

wrestling matches with Madison Plains 

and Hamilton Township, the Cruiser 

community honored the late Fred 

Nebbergall. Nebbergall, a 1973 graduate 

of Groveport Madison and lifelong 

supporter of Cruiser wrestling and 

Central Ohio wrestling, who passed 

away in February 2018. Groveport 

Madison Athletic Director Steve Petros 

noted that Nebbergall was a member of 

two Cruiser Mid-8 League championship 

wrestling teams, a two time sectional 

champion, a two time District 

placer, a Cruiser wrestling coach, and 

40 year member of the Central Ohio 

District Wrestling Officials Association 

and a 40 year table official at the 

OHSAA state wrestling tournament. 

“Cruiser wrestling was a life long passion 

for Fred,” said Petros. Pictured

The Facilities Planning Team noted 

that building one middle school instead of 

multiple middle schools means the district 

would only have to build one set of athletic 

facilities for middle school students. 

The members of the team also said the 

proposed building plan would: replace 

aging school buildings; ease student overcrowding; 

eliminate the 22 modular classrooms 

in the district; enable there to be

maintained; create more overall efficiency; 

younger students would be separated from 

older students in the elementaries and 

buses; and provide for modern safety features 

(the team noted the current schools 

cannot be retrofitted to meet modern safety 

needs). 

At a Nov. 15 public meeting, Ogden said 

that, in 2012, the Ohio Facilities 

Construction Commission recommended 

the district replace all of its schools 

because the cost to renovate them would 

exceed the cost of building new. (The high 

school has already been replaced.) 

“To bring the schools up to current standards 

the cost to renovate the schools 

would be $78 million,” said Ogden. “We 

could renovate them, but we’d still be in old 

era buildings.” 

The board must approve another resolutions 

on Jan. 23 declaring its ballot intentions 

and then file with the Franklin 

County Board of Elections by Feb. 6 to 

place the combined levy and bond issue on 

the May 7 ballot.

Second police officer hired to serve Groveport Madison 

Groveport and Madison 

Township officers used 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

Another school resource officer will soon 

walk the hallways at Groveport Madison 

High School following completion of an 

agreement between the district and the 

Madison Township Trustees. 

During a Dec. 28 special meeting, the 

trustees approved the contract for the 

remainder of the 2018-19 school year The 

Groveport Madison Board of Education 

approved it on Jan. 9. Madison Township 

Police Chief Gary York said he anticipates 

the agreement going into effect in 

February. 

It will be the second school resource officer 

in the district as the Groveport Police 

have already been providing the first officer 

at the high school. The contract for the 

Madison Township Police school resource 

officer is similar to the one the district has 

with the Groveport Police. 

“The contract is a 69/31 split with the 

majority of the officer’s salary and benefits 

covered by the board,” said York. “The 

remainder is covered by the township since 

the officer is available for patrol when the 

district is on break.” 

The total yearly cost–including salary 

and benefits–is $116,455 with the township 

covering approximately $36,101 and 

the district picking up $80,354. 

York said the position was posted inhouse 

following a previous trustees’ meeting 

and Officer Keith Mallory, a 14-year 

plus law enforcement veteran of the township 

department, was selected to fill the 

newly-created position. 

Mallory previously served as a detective 

and is currently a patrol officer. In order to 

serve as a certified school resource officer, 

“It’s an additional measure 

taken for the security of the children. 

The two SROs will work in 

conjunction with each other. I 

think this will really help improve 

the overall school community.” 

- Gary York, police chief 

Madison Township 

he is required to attend 40 hours of additional 

training. 

“He has a good track record and has previously 

worked closely with the schools,” 

said York, “so it seemed natural for him to 

step into that role. 

York said Mallory is not replacing the 

current Groveport Police school resource 

officer. He stated the township position is a 

supplement to the district’s safety staff. 

“It’s an additional measure taken for the 

security of the children,” said York. “The 

two SROs will work in conjunction with 

each other. I think this will really help 

improve the overall school community.” 

York added that the Madison Township 

school resource officer will be available to 

go to other schools in the district as needed. 

Other Madison Township news 

The trustees approved: 

•The purchase of two police cruisers and 

four in-car cameras. The vehicles are 2019

Groveport Police to get body cameras, new cruisers 



Groveport City Council prepared for 2019 by passing a 

long list of legislation in late December authorizing purchases 

and agreements to keep the city operating and to 

make improvements. 

Included in council’s action is the purchase of two new 

police cruisers to replace two 2008 model cruisers at a cost 

of $120,000 and the purchase of 17 police body cameras at 

a cost of $74,314. 

“The cost for the body cameras is spread over five 

years,” said Groveport Assistant Administrator and 

Finance Director Jeff Green. 

According to Groveport Police Chief Ralph Portier, the 

cost for the two new cruisers is estimated with all ancillary 

equipment - including computer, radios, lights and sirens. 

He said, in general, a police cruiser not outfitted sells 

between $36,000 to $40,000 per unit. 

“The 2019 estimate does have about $5,000 for potential 

increase in vehicles’ costs, that we may not see,” said 

Portier. “Any capital funds not used will remain until 

needed.” 

Portier said the new cruisers will replace vehicles that 

are more than 11 years old. He said police cruiser life 

spans are usually four to five years. 

“Presently we have 13 marked cruisers ranging from 

2010 to 2018 (models),” said Portier. “The average age is 

four years, but due to fleet maintenance and service we are 

able to keep our cruisers in pretty good shape.” 

Portier added there are three cruisers that have been 

out of service for the past year with mileage exceeding 

130,000 miles.

Recognition of assistance 

Madison Township Fire Chief Jeff Fasone and members of 

the Madison Township Fire Department presented a plaque 

to Luann Bepler-Todd and her staff in appreciation for their 

assistance during construction of Fire Station 183. A portion 

of the Bepler Insurance Agency on Noe-Bixby Road served 

as a satellite station for emergency crews before the township’s 

newest firehouse opened earlier this year. Fasone said 

the temporary office “allowed us to have a medic in this area 

because we are dispatched by GPS.” 

Opioid information series 

The Groveport Madison Opiate Task Force will present information 

sessions to help those impacted by opioid addiction: 

•Voices of Faith—Jan. 22, 2019, 7 p.m. Faith & Outreach. At 

Groveport United Methodist Church, 512 Main St., Groveport. 

Portier said the body cameras will allow each officer 

while on duty to have one fully charged. 

“There are 24 officers,” said Portier. “Detectives and 

administrative staff will not be issued body cams, but the 

spare units can be used by them should they work the 

street. Policy will dictate the daily use of the cameras, but 

they will be on during every traffic stop and criminal 

investigation. Officers who work warrants will have them 

as well.” 

Portier said the body cameras are useful tools. 

“The cameras become useful as evidentiary collection, 

statements made by the witness, suspect and the victims,” 

said Portier. “It will be able to show what the human eye 

cannot detect which allows a larger view of a scene. It also 

assists the officer in recollection during the call.” 

Legislation approved for projects 

Council approved legislation authorizing City 

Administrator Marsha Hall to seek bids and contract for 

the following (dollar amounts based on estimates in the 

city’s 2019 budget): 

•East Bixby Road pavement rehabilitation (from near 

Ebright Road to U.S. 33), $348,000 from street fund and 

$92,000 from storm water fund. 

•Annual street maintenance program, $450,000 

from street fund and $105,000 from storm water 

fund. Includes resurfacing work on Main Street 

from College Street to Front Street (which was 

reconstructed in 1989-90) and on Main Street from 

Front Street east (which was reconstructed in 2003) 

to a point near the Groveport Recreation Center. 

Other streets to be included for work in 2019 and 

beyond are still to be determined.

So, what have you been reading? 

Is there a book that really grabbed you 

lately? 

The book that I read in the past year 

that had the biggest impact on me is, “Time 

Warped,” by Claudia Hammond. 

Hammond addresses many of our perceptions 

of time including our views of what constitutes 

the past, present, and future; why 

time seems to speed up as we age; time’s relationship 

to memory; time’s illusions; how we 

mentally time travel; and how we visualize 

time. Hammond notes that, while not everyone 

“sees time” in their mind, many people do 

have their own unique time map in their 

head they use to reference their place in time 

and space. 

It’s interesting to think about time and 

our interaction with it. We can’t control time, 

but then again, time can’t control how we 

choose to use it. We’re all time travelers. 

I also found myself this year going back 

and re-reading some books that I read 40 

years ago when I was in my twenties. It’s 

interesting how these books can seem fresh 

and new again after this passage of time and 

how they can speak to the experience I’ve 

gained over the years. 

One of the books I re-read this year is 

“Maggie Cassidy” by Jack Kerouac, written a 

few years before he hit it big with “On the 

Road” and became a literary figure of the 

Beat Generation. “Maggie Cassidy” tells of 

Kerouac’s teenage years in Lowell, Mass., 

and deals with his adolescent romance with 

the title character as well as his own growth, 

but also provides a wonderful snapshot in 

time of the Lowell of his youth. 

I bought my copy of “Maggie Cassidy” in a 

Lowell book store nearly four decades ago 

when a friend and I, both Kerouac fans, made 

a side trip to Lowell, a sort of pilgrimage, 

while we were on our way elsewhere to other 

youthful adventures in Massachusetts. Rereading 

the book not only allowed me to rediscover 

Kerouac’s youth, but also my own. 

While books hold a special place in my 

mind, over time I have also become an avid 

reader of magazines. In the past year I’ve 

regularly read the literary magazine, “The 

Sun,” which features essays, short stories, 

Editor’s Notebook 

and some wonderful 

photography. I also 

read several history 

journals, though I 

must say the Ohio 

History Connection’s 

“Echoes” is but a shadow 

of the late, great 

“Timeline” magazine, 

which the Ohio 

History Connection 

ceased publishing in 

favor of the shorter, 

“Echoes.” 

One thing I found 

Rick 

Palsgrove 

as I have grown older is that I read less fiction 

and more non-fiction. The twists and 

turns, as well as the highs and lows, of reality 

never cease to amaze. 

Rick Palsgrove is editor of the Southeast 

Messenger. 

You can’t escape the faults in this flick 

Some movies are subtle in their attempt to become a franchise. 

Soft hints are dropped in the plot from time-to-time but ultimately 

their pleas to the audience and studio are not egregious 

enough where they give off the aroma of true desperation. “Escape 

Room,” however, is not one of those movies with hidden intent. 

This film is so over-the-top in its quest for a follow up that they 

might as well have used flashing neon signs 

and arrows saying, “Here is where we have 

enough plot to continue well into the future. 

Please let us.” Had this decision not been to 

the detriment of what was otherwise a 

decent film, this blatant shoehorned begging 

would have been more amusing, if not 

downright admirable. 

It begins with six strangers meeting in a 

high-rise building in Chicago over 

Thanksgiving weekend. They had been chosen 

by a mysterious organization called 

Minos to participate in the most immersive 

escape rooms to date. The prize should they 

win, the personalized card states, would be 

an award of $10,000. Hard to turn down, 

right? Wrong! I don’t care how much money 

they are offering because clearly Cenobites 

or Cenobite fans are on the other end. It’s a 

recipe for disaster, or death, or both. 

But obviously, these people have green 

paper on their minds rather than the silver 

spikes because after the uncomfortable 

introductions are out of the way, they find 

themselves working together to escape the 

room. The initial good vibes of the game, 

however, begin to fade when the room 

grows hotter as the time to solve the clues 

runs low. Then, when a burst of fire comes 

from the ceiling, they question whether this 

‘immersive experience’ is a ploy to kill them. 

Danny (Nik Dodani), an escape room aficionado, 

assures his fellow participants that 

it was just part of the game, and that he 

cleared from the vent and into the 

other room before the explosion 

occurred. Having no other option, 

they believe him until they start to 

uncover escape room clues from their past, 

clues only they would know. And as the 

escape room environments change and 

become increasingly more deadly, they don’t 

know who to trust, when to trust, or whether 

any of them will get out alive. 

The Reel Deal 

Dedra 

Cordle 

With the popularity of escape rooms being used as team 

builders, it is no surprise the subject has started to make its way 

into the horror film genre. I vaguely remember seeing something 

like this before, it might have been called “The Box,” and thinking 

this subject had some potential for scares. 

“Escape Room” is not very scary, (it’s PG-13 so the gore is limited) 

but it can be unsettling. One of the most unsettling aspects 

of this film is the set design and much credit should be given to 

Edward Thomas, Tracy Perkins and Mark Walker, who were the 

heads of the production design, set decoration and art direction, 

respectively. They created escape room sets that were unbalancing 

(the upside down room), caused chills down your spine (the 

frozen tundra) and somewhat dizzying (the trip room). Their creativity 

almost makes me want to recommend seeing this film in 

the theater. I won’t, of course, but it’s rather engaging to look at 

on a wall-to-wall screen. 

Where the film unravels is the third act during the blatant set 

up for sequels, and it had been going so well up to that point. It 

has sympathetic characters (Deborah Ann Woll, Taylor Russell, 

Tyler Labine, Logan Miller and Jay Ellis star), an interesting 

premise, an excellent use of visuals and the sense of being uncomfortable 

yet entertained. Then came the flashing neon shoehorned 

arrows and blew away some of the goodwill. 

Because movies like this are cheap to make — it had a $9 million 

budget on an $18 million opening weekend return — director 

and co-writer Adam Robitel is likely going to be rewarded and get 

that sequel if not a franchise. It’s just a shame the pitch was so 

blatant that it slightly soured an otherwise decent film.

Groveport Madison Schools 

earn Momentum Award 

On Dec. 17, Groveport Madison Schools officials received notice 

from the Ohio Department of Education that the district was one 

of the 28 Ohio school districts to earn the state’s “Momentum 

Award” for 2018. 

Recipients of the Momentum Award must receive straight “A’s” 

on all Value-Added measures on the 2018 State Report Card, and 

at least two Value-Added subgroups of students, which include gifted, 

lowest 20 percent in achievement and students with disabilities. 

“This is incredible news,” said Groveport Madison Schools 

Superintendent, Garilee Ogden. “Our staff has been working 

extremely hard to raise student achievement across all grade levels 

and to ensure that each of our students receives the best possible 

education we can provide. I am immensely proud of our staff, and I 

applaud them for attaining this remarkable accomplishment.” 

On the 2018 State Report Card, the district earned an “A” on 

the Value-Added grade, meaning students achieved more than a 

year’s-worth of academic growth over the course of the year. 

The district received an “A” grade for the academic growth of 

its students who have struggled the most (the lowest 20 percent of 

achievers), an “A” Value Added grade for students with disabilities, 

and an “A” Value Added grade for students who are receiving 

gifted services. 

“Over the past two years, we have built a strong foundation 

from which to build upon,” said Ogden. “We will continue to push 

forward to ensure our students recognize their full potential — and 

that they graduate from Groveport Madison Schools with many 

good options from which to begin building their future.”

Glendening students help solve Christmas mystery 



Second graders at Glendening 

Elementary helped the Groveport Police 

crack the case of “Who stole Santa’s toy 

sack?” in December. 

Second grade teacher Jennifer Minton 

came up with the idea to collaborate with 

the Groveport Police on the project to help 

keep her students engaged in their learning 

and on task during the distractions of 

the holiday season. 

She enlisted her father, Groveport 

Police Patrolman Ernie Bell, to help her 

students learn about deciphering clues and 

to learn to make inferences by going 

beyond the written word to understand 

what is not said and by using clues from 

the text and background knowledge. 

Minton said Bell came to her class on 

Dec. 12 looking for some Santa experts. 

“And who better to ask than second 

graders!” said Minton. “He explained the 

police received a case and needed the kids’ 

help. He ‘deputized’ some junior detectives 

and they promised to be great helpers.” 

Here’s the case 

Someone stole Santa’s toy sack and the 

Groveport Police needed help to find out 

who did it and why. Each day for four days 

a Groveport Police officer visited Minton’s 

class and delivered a new clue. Students 

read each clue and began eliminating suspects 

based on key words or phrases used 

in the clue. 

“Each interaction lasted a few minutes, 

but it made a huge difference in my kids,” 

said Minton. “They did not stop talking 

about ‘helping the police’ and who they 

thought stole Santa’s toy sack. The kids 

went beyond the who, got into their reasonings, 

and came up with why someone would 

steal Santa’s toy sack. My students loved 

this lesson. They were engaged and excited 

“What a great way to teach the 

children the value of looking beyond 

the surface and making the positive 

connection with our police force. I 

love seeing the positive in both 

areas. Our children and our community 

are in good hands. Thanks to 

both Groveport Police Officer Ernie 

Bell and Glendening Elementary 

teacher Mrs. Minton for a job well 

done!”

for the police visits and receiving the clues. 

They kept asking when our next clue would 

arrive. My students viewed this as a partnership, 

as if they truly were helping the 

police crack a case.” 

Getting into it 

“I was searching for some fun, engaging 

lessons that still met the standards I am 

responsible for covering. I try to do many 

engaging lessons throughout the year,” 

said Minton. 

She came across an inferencing lesson 

while searching Teacherspayteachers.com 

called, “The Case of Santa’s Missing Sack.” 

“What better time to carry out this lesson 

than right before Christmas?” said 

Minton. “Since it was a ‘who done it’ kind of 

activity, I had the idea to make it more 

interactive.” 

Bell presented the case to the kids, 

handed them a list of suspects caught on 

the Santa cam along with their pictures 

and asked for the kids’ help. 

“The best lessons are those where students 

are excited, highly engaged and do 

not realize they are actually learning,” 

said Minton. “They grasped the information 

based on the daily indepth 

conversations they 

had with one another. Not 

only were they asking 

each other questions 

about who they believe 

took Santa’s sack, but 

they supported their 

claims with information 

from the textual clues, as 

well as paying close attention 

and picking up on 

visual clues from the pictures 

provided. This is 

important because, as 

readers, we learn we can 

get as much information 

from pictures as we do 

from the words we read.” 

Minton said the project 

taught her students to 

read closely to determine 

what the text says explicitly 

so they could eliminate 

suspects from their 

list. They also had to cite 

specific textual evidence 

from written clues to support 

why we were able to 

eliminate them as a suspect. 

“It took my students a 

minute to actually get the 

purpose of the clues,” said Minton. 

“Initially they wanted to immediately say 

who did it instead of using the clue to eliminate 

a suspect. I explained that, like real 

detectives, they could not rush to conclusions 

and pick a perpetrator based off one 

piece of information. The officers gave my 

students insight on how they solve cases. 

This is an aspect they do not get to see in 

real life.” 

Minton said it’s important for students 

to see and experience the positive side of 

police work. 

“By opening my classroom to the officers, 

my students saw the police aren’t big, 

scary people, in fact they are quite the 

opposite,” said Minton. “They are friendly 

individuals who are there to help keep us 

safe and make our community a safe place 

to live, work and play, but also someone 

who we can go to in cases of emergency.” 

So, “Who stole Santa’s toy sack?” 

Minton said the kids narrowed it down 

to two suspects: Mrs. Claus and one of 

Santa’s elves. The final clue revealed the

Officer Tiffany Roe. 

suspect left behind a red, sticky hand print. 

Based on this information, the students 

identified Mrs. Claus as the culprit because 

the picture given to them in the initial clue 

shows she is the only one with a candy 

cane, and as kids can infer, candy canes are 

red and sticky. 

“We also came up with the motive for 

Mrs. Claus,” said Minton. “She had taken 

Santa’s sack because it had a hole in it and 

she patched it up!” 

Reflecting 

“This was an exciting lesson and experience 

for my kids and I loved it as well,” said 

Minton. “It’s not often family members, 

especially fathers and daughters who work 

in completely different fields get to work 

together. Growing up I had opportunities to 

see my dad in action and share a part of his 

world, now he has taken a peek at me in 

action, sharing my passion and love for 

reading with my kids.This was such a wonderful, 

positive experience and nowadays 

police officers do not get the recognition 

they deserve. They are so much more than 

just the people who arrest the bad guys.”

ODNR hopes to increase interest in deer hunting 

By Theresa Garee 

Staff Writer 

Though the tradition of deer hunting is 

becoming less popular, the success rate is 

steady. 

Juan Navarro recently taught his two 

boys, ages 10 and 12, how to hunt. 

Predominately, a family of fishers, they 

decided to expand their skill set this year. 

Both boys were successful in their first 

hunt and Navarro is proud that they were 

able to help provide food for their family. 

“I feel it’s important they learn to hunt 

and fish because it’s natural and a good 

way to spend time with your family and 

provide food,” Navarro said. 

Navarro hopes his sons will teach their 

children how to hunt, passing down a tradition 

that is becoming less common. 

“There has been a steady decline for a 

couple decades,” said ODNR Wildlife 

Communications Manager John Windau. 

“But it’s not just the state of Ohio, it’s 

nationwide.” 

ODNR officials hope more education 

and programs will reverse that trend. 

ODNR offers hunter and trapper education 

courses, an apprentice hunting license and 

a “Becoming an Outdoor Woman” program, 

as well as a youth-only hunting season. 

This year’s youth hunters checked 6,563 

white-tail deer, an increase from the previous 

year at 4,958. Youths can receive their 

First Harvest certificate and share their 

photos at wildohio.gov. 

The Navarro family plans to hunt again 

this season. 

“We like fresh meat and this way we 

don’t have to worry about the chemicals 

they are putting in meat,” said Navarro. 

Windau said the decline in hunting interest 

is probably due to the many other activities 

that draw people’s attention and time 

nowadays. 

“There are a lot of lifestyle changes, people 

are busier,” said Windau. 

ODNR information on deer hunting 

Ohio’s hunters checked 9,625 whitetailed 

deer during Ohio’s 2018 two-day 

deer-gun hunting season, Dec. 15-16, 

according to the Ohio Department of 

Natural Resources. During last year’s twoday 

December deer-gun season, 14,115 

deer were harvested. 

Archery season remains open through 

Feb. 3. Find information about deer hunting 

in the 2018-19 Ohio Hunting and 

Trapping Regulations or at wildohio.gov. 

For the first time this year, Ohio resident 

hunters can purchase multi-year and 

lifetime licenses at wildohio.gov and at 

hundreds of participating agents throughout 

the state. License buyers can choose 

from 3-year, 5-year, 10-year and lifetime 

hunting or fishing licenses. All money generated 

from the sale of multiyear and lifetime 

licenses is deposited into the Wildlife 

Fund, where it will be used to protect and 

enhance Ohio’s wildlife populations. 

The goal of Ohio’s Deer Management 

Program is to provide a deer population 

that maximizes recreational opportunities 

while minimizing conflicts with landowners 

and motorists.

hunters using firearms during the 2018

Our Pictorial Past by Rick Palsgrove

e canal covered bridge 

Recently the Groveport Heritage Museum has received several inquiries about 

where the covered bridge, which is featured in the city’s logo, once stood in 

Groveport. The covered bridge stood on Main Street just east of Front Street and 

spanned the Ohio and Erie Canal where the canal passed through downtown 

Groveport. The bridge was 214 canal miles from Cleveland. The covered bridge was 

built in 1848 and stood until 1887 when it was replaced by an iron turn bridge. The 

covered bridge was not the first bridge on Main Street over the canal. The first 

bridge, which was also made of wood, was built in 1831 by Adam Rarey at a cost 

of $200.

Public Notices 

PUBLIC RELEASE 

Imagine Groveport Community School today announced its 2018-2019 program year policy for free and reduced-price 

breakfast and lunch meals for students unable to pay the full price of meals or milk served under the National School Lunch 

and School Breakfast, After School Care Snack or Special Milk Program. Each school office and the central office has a 

copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party. 

The Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines will be used for determining eligibility. Children from families whose annual income 

is at or below the Federal Guidelines are eligible for free and reduced price meals or free milk if the school participates in the 

Special Milk Program. 

Application forms are being distributed to all homes in a letter to parents or guardians. To apply for free and reduced-price benefits, households 

should fill out the application and return it to the school. Additional copies are available at the principal’s office in each school. A complete 

application is required. Households which currently receive Special Nutrition Assistance Program Benefits (SNAP, formally known as food 

stamps) or Ohio Works First (OWF) funds for a child must provide the child’s name, the SNAP or OWF case number and signature of an 

adult household member on the application. Households which do not receive SNAP or OWF funds must provide the names of all household 

members, the last four digits of the Social Security Number of the adult signing the application or state “none” if the adult does not have a 

Social Security Number, the amount and source of income received by each household member, (state the monthly income) and the signature 

of an adult household member. If any of this information is missing, the school cannot process the application. 

FREE HEALTH CARE: Families with children eligible for school meals may be eligible for FREE health care coverage through Medicaid 

and/or Ohio’s Healthy Start & Healthy Families programs. These programs include coverage for doctor visits, immunizations, physicals, 

prescriptions, dental, vision, mental health, substance abuse and more. Please call 1-800-324-8680 for more information or to request an 

application. Information can also be found on the web at http://jfs.ohio.gov/ohp/consumers/familychild.stm. Anyone who has an Ohio Medicaid 

card is already receiving these services. 

The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified 

at any time during the school year by school or other program official. To discourage the possibility of misrepresentation, the application 

forms contain a statement above the space for signature certifying that all information furnished is true and correct. Applications are being 

made in connection with the receipt of federal funds. Schools or other officials may check the information on the application at any time 

during the school year. Deliberate misrepresentation of information may subject the applicant to prosecution under applicable state and 

federal laws. 

Households will be notified of the approval or denial of benefits. 

Foster children are categorically eligible for free meal benefits regardless of the household’s income. If a family has foster children living with 

them and wishes to apply for such meals or milk for them, contact the school for more information. 

Under the provision of the policy, Sandra Sanders will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian disagrees with the 

decision on the application or the result of verification, the decision may be discussed with the determining official on an informal basis. If a 

formal appeal is desired, the household has the right to a fair hearing. A fair hearing can be requested either orally or in writing from: 

Adam Weber, 4485 S. Hamilton Road, Groveport, OH 43125, 614-574-4100 

The policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure. 

Households may apply for benefits any time during the school year. If a household is not currently eligible and if the household size increases 

or income decreases because of unemployment or other reasons, the family should contact the school to file a new application. Such changes 

may make the children of the family eligible for free or reduced-price benefits if the family income falls at or below the levels shown above. 

In accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its 

Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based 

on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or 

funded by USDA. 

Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape, American 

Sign Language, etc.), should contact the Agency (State or local) where they applied for benefits. Individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or 

have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339. Additionally, program information may be 

made available in languages other than English. 

To file a program complaint of discrimination, complete the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form, (AD-3027) found online at: 

http://www.ascr.usda.gov/complaint_filing_cust.html, and at any USDA office, or write a letter addressed to USDA and provide in the letter all 

of the information requested in the form. To request a copy of the complaint form, call (866) 632-9992. Submit your completed form or letter 

to USDA by: 

(1) mail: U.S. Department of Agriculture Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights,1400 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, D.C. 

20250-9410; (2) fax: (202) 690-7442; or (3) email: program.intake@usda.gov.
