FYI

I Know How You Feel

Barbara and I have attended eight COPS Parents’ Retreats. We

would rather we did not qualify to attend.

Our son, Peter Alan Grignon, returned from his fi rst anniversary vacation with his wife and it was his fi rst Louisville Metro Police Depart-ment shift since coming back. The punk knew Peter had a vest on so he shot where there was no protection. That March 23, 2005 was a gray, cold, damp morning.

We thank C.O.P.S. for Police Week, 2006, and each Parents’ Retreat since 2005. Those weekends spent with other parents are like family reunions except with people with whom you genuinely get along and like.

Everyone there can honestly say to each other: “I know how you feel.” There are lots of hugs, tears and laughter. The counselors are there to

help but it is the parents who lift each other up. Those of us who have been to more retreats show by example that there is hope and healing.

Every year new parents arrive not knowing what to expect. These new folks, as they arrive, always think that the “old timers” are crazy because there are smiles and laughter. As the new ones leave, they have a great ap-preciation of the healing they have experienced.

In 2012 there were about 170 par-ents. That was down from the 210 in 2011 but much increased from the 70 or so seven and eight years ago.

This last weekend in October has us in a place we never thought we would be, BUT in the only location on earth we want to be.

Thank you Kentucky C.O.P.S. for helping us go to Parents’ Retreat.

The Bryan Durman Act

In 2010, Glenn Doneghy struck Of-fi cer Bryan Durman with his car, killing him instantly. Mr. Doneghy fl ed the scene and was later arrested.

He was tried and convicted of Man-slaughter in the Second Degree. Of-fi cer Durman’s family was informed that his killer would only have to

serve 20% of his 20 year sentence before he would be eligible for parole. Why? Because Manslaughter in the Second Degree in Kentucky is considered a non-violent crime. Does it make sense that a person’s life was ended, yet this heinous crime is considered non-violent? NO.

The Bryan Durman Act, sponsored by Senator Alice Kerr, Lexington, is a move to consider Manslaughter and Reckless homicide as violent of-fenses. If the Bryan Durman Act had been in effect, Bryan’s killer would have to serve 85% of his sentence before he would be eligible for parole.

How you can make a difference? Sign up for updates on this legisla-tion! You will be informed about this pre-fi led bill and where it is in the legislative process. We ask you contact your representatives to voice your support for the Bryan Durman Act. This will not change the circumstances for Bryan or his family but it CAN change the cir-cumstances for other victims of crime in the future.

2013 KLEMF Scholarship Opportunity

A section of highway from Maysville through Kentucky 9 was dedicated to the late Danny Hay recently.

Hay was 22 years old and new to the Maysville Police Department, when he responded to robbery in a Maysville store in October 1979. He was shot and killed by Gary Wayne Wilson.

Hay is the only Maysville police of-fi cer ever killed in the line of duty.

Wilson served 22 years of his 40-year sentence for the robbery and murder. He was released on parole in 2002.

Rep. Mike Denham said he thinks this is a good way to memorialize Hay.

"I had a lot of respect for Danny," he said. "We wanted to make sure there was a stretch of highway for him."

Phillip Hay, brother of Danny, said he was happy to learn of the dedica-tion.

"Not to be negative, but I've heard a lot of people say "it's about time," but I don't really feel that way," he said. "I was talking to Mike one day

and told him that I would just like to have something like that and he kind of ran with it. It was kind of incred-ible."

Phillip said he is unsure of the actual date of a dedication ceremony, but the signs are offi cially on the road.

"We usually leave the ceremony up to the family," said Denham. "The most important thing was having the signs up, but the family can decide on the memorial cer-emony."

The highway dedication is not the only memo-rial in honor of Hay.

A skate park behind the Mason County Public Library is called the

"Danny Hay Memorial Skate Park," also in honor of the fallen offi cer.

"I think it was dedicated about four or fi ve years ago," said Phillip Hay.

"He was one of those people who gave totally of himself and never asked for anything," said Denham. "This will serve as a tribute to his honor."

Stretch of Highway Dedicated to Danny HayReprinted from The Ledger Independent

A portion of U.S. 68 south of Washington has been renamed the “Danny Hay Memorial Highway.” Hay was a patrolman for the Maysville Police department and lost his life while investigating a burglary in 1979.

JOYCE ANGELUCCI, M/88 PASSES AWAYJoyce Sowards

Angelucci, born December 16, 1926, daughter of the late Leonard and Cordia So-wards of Lexing-ton, was called to heaven by our Lord on November

21, 2012. She is survived by her hus-band, Judge Armand Angelucci, and 2 sons, Armand Angelucci, Jr. and Frank C. Grow, both of Lexington. She was preceded in death by her son, Joseph

Matthew Angelucci, a Fayette County Deputy Sheriff killed in the line of duty in November 1988. Also surviving are brothers, James Sowards of Harrods-burg, KY, Leonard Sowards of Camp-bellsville, KY; sisters, Myrtle Norvell , Terri Rice of Lexington, KY. As a young lady, she was very much loved her work for The Byron Page Printing Company and took further pride as a parent and President of the Cassidy School P.T.A. Program. She was a loyal mother and supporter of the Eastern Little League Baseball Program. After the death of her son, Joseph in 1988, she was a

supporter of the Concerns of Police Sur-vivors Program and was a spokesperson for Victims of Crime, with assistance of the Fayette County Commonwealth At-torney’s offi ce, and the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department. It is impossible to list all the friends and family that she loved over the years and Joyce was a warm and pleasant sparkle to the lives of so many people. Her family was blessed by her love as a wife and mother. While she will be missed by so many, her memory of inspiration and love will never ever be forgotten.

The loss of an offi cer in the line of duty leaves wounds that will never

mend. Ancient Roman Poet Horace said, “It is the false shame of fools to try to con-ceal wounds that have not healed.” Each year, on December 19, a group of family,friends and coworkers gather to remember and celebrate the life of Trooper Jona-than K. Leonard (Kentucky State Police).Amidst fellowship, hot chocolate, laughsand tears, the wounds that resulted from Trooper Leonard’s line of duty loss are exposed and given the chance to heal.

On December 19, 2012, Trooper Jimmy Nolte addressed memorial attendees and shared a prayer that he had printed from the internet and given to Trooper Leonard. The prayer was found folded and

tucked away in Trooper Leonard’s wallet following his death. KY COPS President Julie Schmidt also shared healing wordson behalf of the organization. FollowingTrooper Nolte’s and President Schmidt’stouching words, each memorial attendee,lit candle in hand, shared a moment of silence and prayer.

Trooper Leonard’s parents, Charlesand Karen, provided paper lanterns to bereleased into the night sky. Markers werealso supplied for use in writing messagesonto the lanterns before their release.

Coworkers Christy Runyon, Misty Con-ley, and Mindi Thompson, all of whom were dispatching the night of Trooper Leonard’s LODD, agreed that while thedays leading up to each anniversary of his

death are fi lled with dread and grief, theannual memorial service soothes their spirits and provides them a time for heal-ing.

Above: Misty Conley, Christy Runyon, and Mindi Thompson reunite each year for the memorial. They were dispatching the night of Jonathan’s wreck.

Frank McPherson and Sara Smith, daughter of Michael Partin, EOW 01/04/98, were married on October 27, 2012. Frank and Sara were sur-rounded by their family and friends in Shawnee State Park, Porstmouth, OH to celebrate their nuptials. Frank and Sara are proud to announce the arrival of a their baby boy, “Colton,” who will be making his premiere in early May 2013! Frank and Sara will live in their beautiful home in Lib-erty Township, OH. Frank has been a police offi cer for 7 years with the Springdale (OH) police department and Sara is a fi refi ghter/paramedic at West Chester Fire Dept. and Oxford Township F.D.

We attended our fi rst C.O.P.S. annual Christmas party this past December 1 at the Embassy Suites in Lexington. The C.O.P.S. events we have attended have all been well planned & thoughtfully orches-trated and this was no exception. We thank Kentucky C.O.P.S. for a great party and a wonderful time.

We know so much time and effort goes into planning a party like that, a lot of it “behind the scenes” that we may not even realize. What we did see was a beautifully decorated room with lovely centerpieces and even name tags deco-rated with Christmas light stickers. We were entertained by the fabulous slide show which reminded us of many of the meaningful events we had attended over the year. As with any President Julie event, the food was outstanding! The main course was delicious and the des-serts even better. Apparently the cheese-cake was outstanding as Andrew is ready to drive the hour and a half back there to

get another piece and Emily fi nished off the piece we were “sharing” before I got a bite. This is probably because I was busy inhaling a piece of chocolate cake. We are grateful for the many people who support C.O.P.S and know awards were presented to some of them. We were glad for the recognition of the Lexington Police mo-torcycle unit as we remember their help at police week and one of the motorcycle rides we attended. We were delighted to receive the Louisville Stoneware with new C.O.P.S. logo and it is proudly displayed in our kitchen.

It was a pleasure to interact with the guests at the party. It was so nice to meet the Burnside, Kentucky mayor and his wife, especially as we had experienced Burnside hospitality fi rst-hand after a Blue Knights motorcycle ride last August. Santa was a big hit with the kids and they were

happy to chat with him and receive a spe-cial gift. As always we fi nd it very mean-ingful to visit with other survivors who truly understand where we are. Our net-work of survivors continues to expand and that is the best gift of all. We continue to be amazed at the courage and willingness to help shown by those we have met.

We cannot thank Julie and her merry band of elves enough for such a wonder-ful time. They make it seem so effortless, but we know in reality such a marvelous event takes hours and hours of thoughtful planning and work to put it all together. We are so grateful for this caring and compassion, which exemplifi es the true meaning of Christmas.

Thank You for C.O.P.S. Christmas CheerBy: Laurie, Emily, and Andrew SticklenFamily/2011
