Junior deputies learn about law enforcement 

By Dedra Cordle 

Staff Writer 

Clara Hall thinks of herself as a good person but freely admits 

there could be room for growth. 

“I want to learn how to be an even better person,” stated the 11- 

year-old from West Jefferson. 

As a part of a self-devised summer enrichment challenge, Hall 

came up with a variety of things she could do to achieve her personal 

improvement goals. Near the top of the list was learning by 

example from those she considers to be real-life heroes. 

For as long as she can remember, Hall has admired officers of 

the law, believing them to be beacons of good for those in need. 

“They want to protect people and help the community,” she said. 

Desiring to acquire those traits, Hall signed up for the Junior 

Deputy Academy program hosted by the DARE division of the 

Madison County Sheriff’s Office. The academy took place June 6- 

10. 

Established in the mid-2000s, the academy is open to elementary 

and middle school-aged children who either show an aptitude for 

the profession or simply are curious about a hands-on and behindthe-scenes 

look at the career. 

Due to funding issues, the program has been held sporadically 

over the years but has maintained a constant presence in the hearts 

and minds of the community. 

“There is not a week that goes by where I am not asked about 

this program,” said Dep. Roberta Roberts, the academy’s coordinator. 

“It is one of the most popular programs we have, but unfortunately 

we have just not been able to host it on a regular basis.” 

The last time the academy was held was in 2017, but it did receive 

another funding green light in 2020. 

“We were so excited to be able to say to 

the community that the academy was back,” 

said Roberts, a 21-year veteran of the department. 

“We had all of our activities

POSTAL PATRON 

After a five-year hiatus, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office hosted its popular Junior Deputy Academy June 6-10. More than two dozen children participated. 

(Shown in the center) Deputy Roberta Roberts coordinated the program, and Deputy Laura Hamilton served as the co-instructor. They are surrounded by 

freshly graduated junior deputies and first responders who helped with the academy.

her friends at other area law enforcement 

departments were adamant the academy 

take place this summer. 

With the five-year gap, Roberts was worried 

there would be little interest from the 

youth in the community. 

“I thought it would be out of sight, out of 

mind,” she said. 

That was not the case. More than two 

dozen children applied and showed up for 

the day camp that was headquartered at St. 

Patrick School in London. 

During the course of the five-day academy, 

cadet campers got a look at what it’s 

like to be a criminal. For instance, with the 

help of virtual reality goggles, they learned 

what it is like to drive a car while impaired. 

They also created mock crime scenes where 

they were apprehended, handcuffed and fingerprinted. 

Making the various experiments and experiences 

possible were the Sheriff’s Office, 

Madison County Emergency Management 

Agency, Ohio Bureau of Identification and 

Investigation, and partner agencies in London 

and West Jefferson. The children also 

watched presentations on gun safety, Internet 

safety, first aid, and K-9 teams. The latter 

proved to be quite popular. 

On June 8, Dep. Darrah Metz with the 

Franklin County Sheriff’s Office visited the 

academy with therapy dog, Mattis. The children 

gave Mattis lots of affection while 

learning about the benefits of the program. 

On June 10, London Police Officer Michael 

Combs visited the academy with K-9 officer 

Ygor. The children weren’t able to give him 

as much affection as they wanted. Ygor was 

still “on the job” and fixated on his human 

partner and favorite toy. But the duo’s duties 

and demonstrations of teamwork 

sparked interest in quite a few cadets. 

“I’ve decided I want to be a K-9 officer,” 

said Roman Smith, 13. “I’ve always wanted 

to be a cop, I love dogs, and I just want to be 

a part of that unit when I grow up.” 

Gabriella Markley, 9, shared a similar 

sentiment, but said she was drawn to the 

therapy dog side of the police canine division. 

“They’re a bit calmer,” she said.

to become officers of the law—Sawyer

honors at the graduation ceremony on June 10, wants to be a 

teacher—they all expressed gratitude for revival of the Junior 

Deputy Academy. 

“It has been a lot of fun, and I have learned so much,” said Hall, 

who learned CPR during the academy. “I think it definitely made 

me a better person, and I can take all of the things I learned here 

and do more things to help my community.” 

Dep. Roberts also is thankful for the program’s return and says 

the department plans to host the academy again next summer and 

possibly create an advanced course for youths who have already 

gone through the program. 

“This program means so much to me, to all of these departments, 

and to the community,” Roberts said. “Not only are we providing 

our children with a positive experience with law enforcement officials, 

but we are helping them to become better people through all 

of the teamwork demonstrations we do. 

“While we do not expect everyone that comes through this academy 

to become police officers, we want them to continue to apply 

these lessons of kindness, treating others with respect, and showing 

a willingness to help the community in whatever job they choose to 

do and throughout the rest of their lives.” 

Quarter midget racing 

The Central Ohio Quarter Midget Racing Association’s race season 

is in full swing. The public is invited to come out and cheer on

Renewal levy on the horizon; Harper honored 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

Seven years can pass by quickly. For a Jefferson Local School District 

levy committee, it’s time to start of the process of seeking voter 

approval for renewal of an emergency levy first passed nearly 40 

years ago. 

On June 13, school board members passed a resolution of necessity, 

the first step toward putting the seven-year substitute levy on 

the Nov. 8 ballot. 

“I want to emphasize that this levy is asking for no new taxes,” 

said Superintendent William Mullett. “The only difference with a 

substitute levy is it allows the district to collect taxes on new 

growth. 

“And folks will still get the benefit of the 12.5 percent exemption

process which does not involve school financial resources. The campaign 

is funded privately. 

During regular action at the June 13 meeting, the board accepted 

the resignation of David Harper, who is stepping down after 

22 years as a school board member. 

“It is with great pleasure and sadness that I wish farewell to 

long-time board member Dave Harper,” Mullett said. “He’s going 

to be greatly missed. You can’t really replace people like Dave. He’s 

an institution.” 

In one of his last comments as a board member, Harper applauded 

the work of Treasurer Mark Ingles and his staff in turning 

the district’s financial tide out of deficit spending and laying the 

groundwork for long-delayed employee raises. 

“We are on pace to finish with a surplus this year for the first 

time in many years,” Ingles responded. 

The board accepted nearly a dozen donations, including $27,821 

from the Madison County Prosecutor’s Office for installation of 

nightlock door security stoppers for all facilities in the district. 

On June 4, the London Visual 

Arts Guild handed out

Through a partnership with the Ohio 

Governor’s Imagination Library, Dolly Parton’s 

Imagination Library, and the Ohio Department 

of Natural Resources (ODNR), 

First Lady Fran DeWine opened a new Storybook 

Trail in Deer Creek State Park on 

June 13. After a ribbon-cutting ceremony, 

children and families walked with DeWine 

on the new trail. 

“Experiencing a Storybook Trail gives 

children and their families the opportunity 

to take an adventure inside a great book 

while experiencing an outside adventure at 

one of our great state parks,” DeWine said. 

“I hope this new trail gives Ohio families 

and visitors new memories that will last a 

lifetime.” 

Located outside of Mount Sterling, Deer 

Creek State Park is set in farm country. The 

park’s resort, marina, large campground, 

and 18-hole golf course facilities blend with 

outdoor activities such as boating, fishing, 

camping and hiking. 

The story featured on the park’s new Storybook 

Trail is “Drop” by Emily Kate Moon. 

On the child-height panels lining the trail, 

children can follow the story of the cutest 

drop of water as she takes readers on an adventure 

through the water cycle. 

“Storybook Trails offer families another 

place to enjoy quality time with their 

friends and family, while encouraging the 

little ones to read and learn about nature,” 

said ODNR Director Mary Mertz. “We are 

excited to provide more opportunities to link 

literacy with healthy living through our Storybook 

Trails. There really is no better place 

than an Ohio state park to explore, learn 

and really appreciate everything the great 

outdoors has to offer.” 

DeWine encourages all Ohioans to explore 

the Storybook Trails at state parks and 

enroll children under the age of 5 years old 

in the Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library. 

Currently, 324,887 Ohio children are en-

rolled in the Ohio Governor’s Imagination 

Library which provides one free book every 

month to children enrolled in the program 

from birth to age 5. Any Ohio child in this 

age group is eligible to receive the books 

which are paid for by the state and county 

partners. If a parent or grandparent enrolls 

a child at birth, that child could receive all 

60 books in the program. To learn more

and how to participate, visit

Trails this summer and fall. To find a story

Help available to stay cool in summer 

The Ohio Department of Development 

and Bridges Community Action Partnership 

will help income-eligible Ohioans stay cool 

during the hot summer months. The Home 

Energy Assistance Summer Crisis Program 

provides eligible Ohioans assistance paying 

an electric bill or assistance paying for central 

air conditioning repairs. The program 

runs from July 1, 2022, until Sept. 30, 2022. 

To apply for the program, clients are required 

to schedule an appointment with 

Bridges Community Action Partnership. 

Appointments can be scheduled by calling 

(740) 852-3511. 

Clients need to bring copies of the following 

documents to their appointment: 

• copies of their most recent energy bills; 

• a list of all household members and 

proof of income for the last 30 days or 12 

months for each member; 

• proof of U.S. citizenship or legal residency 

for all household members; 

• proof of disability (if applicable); 

• physician documentation that cooling 

assistance is needed for a household member’s 

health (if there isn’t a household member 

over the age of 60). 

“The Home Energy Assistance Program 

(HEAP) continues to be a cornerstone program 

of Bridges Community Action Partnership” 

stated Andrew Binegar, executive 

director. “There continues to be customers 

who, because of limited financial resources, 

have difficulty maintaining their utility 

services. The primary goal of HEAP is to 

generate positive financial benefits by addressing 

the payment trouble of low-income 

customers based on lack of affordability.” 

The Summer Crisis Program assists lowincome 

households with an older household 

member (60 years or older), that can provide 

physician documentation that cooling assistance 

is needed for a household member's 

health, have a disconnect notice, have been 

shut off, are trying to establish new service 

on their electric bill, or require air conditioning. 

Conditions can include such things 

as lung disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary 

Disease, or asthma. 

Also, Ohioans enrolled in the Percentage 

of Income Payment Plan Plus Program 

(PIPP) who meet the above criteria may be 

eligible for assistance towards their default 

PIPP payment, first PIPP payment, central 

air conditioning repairs, or may receive an 

air conditioning unit and/or fan. 

For more information about the Summer 

Crisis Program and what is needed to apply, 

contact Bridges Community Action Partnership 

at (740) 852-3511. To be connected to a

Proud to represent London 

My name is Briana Peterman, and I am 

your 2021 London Strawberry Queen. From 

the time I could barely walk on the stage by 

myself to now, this is the moment I have 

dreamed of but dreaded at the same time. 

I spent a long time trying to find a quote 

that was so close to me and meant a lot but 

the only thing I could think of was, “Don’t 

suck.” While it is funny, it’s something that 

my biggest role model has always said to me 

before I do anything. It translates to: Do 

your best at anything and everything you 

do, and do it with no regret. Give it your all!” 

Before I went on stage Thursday night of 

last year’s Strawberry Festival, I didn’t realize 

how much that meant until that moment 

when it really mattered. As the crown 

was placed on my head, my long-term goal 

became a reality. I won the baby contest at 

age 2, then went on to Miss Shortcake. Little 

Miss, Young Miss and Junior Miss followed. 

Each time I received a crown, I knew that 

one day I wanted to be Miss Strawberry. 

Throughout all these years, I have gotten 

to travel, and it has been my pleasure to 

represent the city of London. I remember in 

my younger years being in awe of the many 

queens I met from other towns. As the London 

Strawberry queen, I knew I needed to 

be a role model to the many children I came 

across. Often I would hear the little ones ask 

their moms if I was “a real princess,” I always 

made sure to stop and talk to those 

kids because, in my mind, a “real princess” 

doesn’t just wear a crown, she is kind and 

caring, as well. 

As many of you may know, but for the ones 

that may not, I put together a community 

service project during my reign. I collected 

items from shampoo and conditioner to 

stuffed animals and blankets to put together 

bags for local foster kids. With the items and 

Briana Peterman, 2021 queen 

cash donated, we were able to put together 54 

bags, as well as multiple bags for foster families. 

This is one of the things I am most passionate 

about, and I am so glad I got the 

opportunity to give back to my community 

and bring our community closer together. 

I would like to thank the London community 

for giving me this wonderful opportunity 

to represent you. For one of the last 

times, I am and forever will be your 2021 

London Strawberry Festival queen and the 

first contestant to ever hold all crowns from 

baby to queen. I hope to see you all at the 

festival! 

Free airplane rides at airport 

Look for Lions Club at festival 

The London Lions Club will be at the London Strawberry Festival 

this year, handing out balloons and children’s travel toy kits. 

The club will have a collection box on site for used eyeglasses; the 

glasses will be passed along to individuals who are less fortunate. 

Additionally, the club is selling raffle tickets. Winners will share a 

$1,500 prize amount. 

Youths ages 8 to 17 have an opportunity 

to get a bird’s eye view of London and the 

surrounding area at the Young Eagles Rally 

set for the morning of June 25 at Madison 

County Airport. 

Chapter 9 of the Experimental Aircraft 

Association (EAA) is offering free airplane 

rides. Pre-registration is available at 

https://chapters.eaa.org/eaa9/young-eagles. 

Time slots are available between 9 a.m. and 

noon. Walk-ups are welcome, as well. A parent 

must be on hand to sign off on paperwork. 

Rides typically last 15 to 20 minutes. 

Founded in 1992, the purpose of the 

Young Eagles program is to give youths the 

chance to fly in a general aviation airplane, 

educate them about careers in aviation, and 

generally inspire them when it comes to the 

world of aviation. 

To date, EAA 9 has provided rides to 

8,755 children locally. Nationwide, EAA has 

flown more than 2 million youths. The allvolunteer 

group is made up of professional 

and private pilots. 

EAA 9 usually holds several Young Eagles 

rallies each year, including events at 

the Madison County Airport, Bolton Field in 

Columbus, and Ohio State University’s Don 

Scott Field in Columbus. The group will 

hold a second event at the Madison County 

Airport on Aug. 27. 

Visit https://chapters.eaa.org/eaa9 to 

learn more about EAA 9 and the Young Eagles 

program. 

Madison County Airport is located at

25 to 2 p.m. June 26. Operations will include 

digital messaging, as well as voice and

Morse Code communications. Madison County club members will 

demonstrate the “magic” of ham radio by contacting hams across 

the country while using wire antennas, low power radios and emergency 

power. 

The public is invited to come and see modern amateur radio technology 

in action and learn about the hobby. Club members will be 

available to answer questions, provide literature and help visitors 

get on the air. The best visiting times are 2-6 p.m. June 25 and 10 

a.m.-2 p.m. June 26. 

Field Day is sponsored by the ARRL, the national association for 

amateur radio, and has been an annual event since 1933. This 

year’s operations are expected to involve more than 40,000 ham 

radio operators from across North America. 

Often using only emergency power supplies, ham operators will 

construct and operate emergency stations in parks, shopping malls, 

schools and backyards around the country. Their slogan, “When all 

else fails, ham radio works,” is demonstrated by hams who can send 

messages in many forms without the use of phone systems, internet 

or any other infrastructure that can be compromised in a crisis. The 

event combines public service, emergency preparedness, community 

outreach and technical skills. 

Modern amateur radio is a fast-growing hobby. There are nearly 

28,000 licensed amateurs in Ohio, more than 750,000 in the United 

States and more than 2.5 million worldwide. Through ARRL’s Amateur 

Radio Emergency Services program, volunteers provide emergency 

communication for thousands of state and local emergency 

response agencies and non-emergency communication to a wide variety 

of community and civic organizations, all without cost to the 

public.
