ON THE COVER

Bernie Domagala, Star #8996, finally fell 29 years after taking a bullet to the head when responding to a call of a former police officer barricaded in his home. Though his watch ended in September, he had a spark, a spirit and a passion that lives on and will forever make those who knew him and the so many people who loved him keep on smiling.
