J anuary 2021
Before we say good riddance to 2020, let’s take a look at the highlights
of December:
The Holiday programs were a success this season! The Annual
Children’s Christmas event hosted by the Women’s Auxiliary was still
fun for the children, despite the restrictions that had to be placed due
to COVID and for the safety of all. Instead of an indoor party, Linda
Hennie came up with a brilliant idea to have the gifts wrapped and
ready for a drive thru pickup.
The Angel Tree and the Coats for Kids both served over 13 families.
Over 40 coats and a plethora of gifts were distributed thanks to
Danielle Cash and Christine Hamilton. A big shout out to them for
volunteering their time for such a worthy cause.

Matthew 25
Brothers and Sisters:
Wasn’t 2020 a real bummer? Most of us felt like we were living in a surreal dream that
we couldn’t shake. Many of us wish we had invested stock in toilet paper or hand sanitizer.
And of course, the media capitalized every chance they could with their doomsday rhetoric.
We live in perilous times with inhabitants of this world having to experience numerous ca-
tastrophes simultaneously:
• Wildfires in the west
• Record number of hurricanes in the South
• A very divided political atmosphere
• Global pandemic
• Civil unrest in many major cities across the country
Darkness cannot
Although I am not one to even consider that what we are living through right now is the drive out darkness;
“end of times,” I also don’t believe that it’s wise to avoid the topic either. The Bible certainly
did not. In my experience attending church services from myriad denominations, it’s fair to only light can do
say the Second Coming of Christ, the King of the Universe is a popular sermon topic
among pastors, priests and clergymen alike. I’m sure you too have heard sermons in that. Hate cannot

To my point, I think it’s appropriate to discern the meaning of Scripture readings found love can do that.
in the 25th Chapter of Matthew. Just try to figure out the following verses: Virgins running
out of lamp oil (8); a servant burying money (25) or not putting clothes on naked people
(43). So, after reading the scripture, what do you think God is trying to convey here? If you
Martin Luther King,
don’t know the meaning concerning these verses, then that’s okay- deciphering this scrip- Jr.
ture is kind of like trying to understand Daffy Duck in the back seat of your car, translating
road signs for you on a long-distance trip! In my opinion, with respect to my abilities, this is
what I believe the message God is relating to us:
• God is a righteous God
• God is a generous God and gives us His possessions to share with others
• God knows our abilities and our limitations
• God trusts us to do the right thing
• God gives us the freedom to accept doing His will or not
As you probably figured out, the virgins, servants, sheep and goats, the hungry, the
thirsty, the stranger, the naked, or the ones in prison are symbolic: They all represent in-
habitants of the earth. God’s children decide, through their own free will, whether or not to
share their abilities with others. Maybe you’re fortunate enough to have “Trump money”, but
most of us at least have the ability to use our free time to assist those who greatly benefit
from our presence when called upon. We must spread God’s message by acts of charity,
love and kindness to others in this world. Today we have people who chose to serve others
in need despite the dangers of contracting the COVID-19 virus: Medical personnel, residen-
tial nursing staff, police and fire, social workers, store employees. You (and many others
not listed) are the good and faithful servants (verse 23). They, as well as the ones doing
God’s plan for us, will be given “more (verse 29)” when the time comes (verses 6, 21, 23,
33). As Mr. Rogers famously said:
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to
me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’”

We are happy to announce that John and Peggy Benysek have been selected and hired as the new
caretakers of the Lodge. John is fully retired so he will have the necessary time to devote to the
lodge care. Peggy will also be an asset as she works from home. John has been a part of our
organization for many years. He has acted as a Neighborhood Assistance Officer and was an
Associate Lodge Member. He and Peggy will once again be joining as Associate Lodge Members to
engage with our members. The board feels they will be an excellent fit and are excited to see them
start their new endeavor in 2021.
We are waiting for Governor DeWine’s updates on Pandemic Guidelines before opening the Lodge
for January Meetings, Events or gatherings. Look for emails for updates.
Fraternally yours,
Jerry

Cool beans and end of story you may ask? Well, did I mention before that our God is a righteous God and those who de-
cide to bury their talents (verse 25) or refuse to fill the need for those in distress (verses 42&43) in this life have a special
place waiting for them too? They range from promiscuous clergymen, unrepented criminals, abortion doctors, to the crooked
politician who wanted to lead only by control and power. Those who chose NOT to do God’s will better learn how to prepare
themselves without the leadership and guidance of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because without Jesus, prepare for a shut door
(verse 10), outer darkness (verse 30) and eternal punishment (verse 46).
So what do we do in the meantime? You know, before the Big Judgment is upon usI Well, how about for starters let's be
Disciples of Faith, Hope and Love:
• Faith-knowing that Jesus Christ is Ithe way, the truth and the life (John 14:6) And the King of the Universe will
show us the truth.
• Hope-that the Kingdom of God will overcome ALL catastrophes and Christ will finally destroy death itself
(1 Corinthians 15:26).
• Love-that in a world full of self-centered people, we, as God’s children will continue to take care of those in dis-
tress (Matthew 25:35&36).
Brothers and Sisters: make sure your lamp has plenty of oil to light your way to see the Light in a world that seems to be
on the brink of outer darkness.
“For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, shall
not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with the cry of command, with the
archangel’s call, and the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first: then we who are alive, who are left,
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord.” (1
Thessalonians 4: 15-17)

It took local forensic sci- ence to another level when the department invested $800 ($14,000 today) to create a re- gional crime laboratory for chemical testing, posmoulage processing, and helixometer meas- uring. That year, the Dayton Police Depart- ment established the State of Ohio’s second ballistic laboratory fol- lowing the practice set by the Cleveland Police Department.

Dayton Police History Foundation, Inc. definitely looks forward to a New Year and to
new developments in 2021! DPH Foundation has been in existence as an Ohio-
chartered private, non-profit organization for eleven (11) full years now; 13 years
since the 2008 Exhibit, Patrolling the Streets of Dayton. DPHF continues working
closely with our county historical society, Dayton History at Carillon Historical
Park, to recount the story of Dayton law enforcement. This is a recap of 2020.

ously complicated 2021 for Dayton police officers and DPH Foundation as well.
A March tour of the Bandits & Badges for the 109th Dayton Police Recruit Class was
cancelled as were the May MCLEM Ceremony, the June International Police Moun-
tain Bike Association Convention hosted by Dayton PD, the July Ohio Fraternal Or-
der of Police Conference hosted by the Dayton Lodge, the August Old Case File per-
formances at the Old Court House, and more. All of these were expected to draw
crowds of visitors to Bandits & Badges but Carillon Historical Park closed its doors
and with it came the temporary end to the police exhibit.
In spite of the Park closure, the spring edition of Carillon Park’s quarterly publica-
tion, The Heritage, came out with a two-page center spread titled, “John Dillinger’s
Ties to Dayton Highlighted in Gangster-Era Exhibit” promoting “Bandits &

Badges.” And an article on the exhibit also appeared in the March-April edition of
Police Collectors News that is published out of Wisconsin and has a worldwide circu-
lation of more than 5,000 subscribers.
Fortunately for the Bandits & Badges exhibit, Carillon Park reopened on June 15. It
has been a slow process bringing folks back in but the year-end holidays gave it a
boost. At this stage, the exhibit is scheduled to be up for only one more year. Having
a half-million-dollar police display open daily to the public has been a major goal
since DPH Foundation was founded. Take advantage of it in 2021 while it lasts.

has done very well in sales with little marketing as of this writing. The only other pub-
licity was an online article at Dayton.com on December 11. The book has three times
sold out at Carillon Park and Amazon.com sales are brisk.
Announced last year was that fewer police history/museum presentations would be
given in 2020. Covid made that a moot issue. The few scheduled presentations were
cancelled. So, it was a relatively quiet year for DPH Foundation. Maybe because of
closings and cancellations due to the virus, members found time to focus a bit more on
our police history, to gather police photo images, documents, artifacts, and collectibles
– many quite rare – and donate them. Quite a few items were simply outstanding. The
contributions are too numerous to recount but were mentioned monthly in the newslet-
ter and are deeply appreciated. There were also many more requests than in years past As one of the nation’s
