Police brass with Austin ties in running to replace Johnson

Al Wysinger, Barbara West among possible successors to retiring police superintendent By WENDELL HUTSON Contributing Reporter

Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson’s decision to retire by the end of the year has prompted a frenzied search for his replacement. So far, two of the possible candidates on Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s shortlist to succeed Johnson in the office are high-ranking police with Austin connections. So far, Lightfoot has declined to say if she has contacted any potential candidate, but at a City Hall news conference on Nov. 8, she said local and national candidates are being considered, including “those within the Chicago Police Department.” A national search, which Lightfoot said could take between three and six months, has already begun. And until a new superintendent is chosen, former Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck will serve as inSee JOHNSON RETIRES on page 2

Westsiders grapple with marijuana legalization Forum prompts questions about legal nuances related to legalization

By LA RISA LYNCH Contributing Reporter

West Side residents came loaded with questions during a Nov. 5 forum on how the state’s legalization of recreational marijuana would impact them. Austin resident Tyrone Gill was was among the nearly 100 residents who attended the forum sponsored by the 15th District Police Station and the Westside Health Au-

thority, which held the event at its 5437 W. Division St. facility. Gill asked the panelists, comprising representatives from the district, the Cook County State’s Attorney Office, MedMen, an Oak Park cannabis dispensary, and 29th Ward Ald. Chris Taliaferro, how the legalization of cannabis will change law enforcement policies. Gill wondered if police can still stop and search a person under “reasonable suspicion” if the police smell can-

nabis on a person. That, he said, gets a lot of people caught up with the law. “It’s potent,” he said. “If you do have marijuana on you now and you tell [the police] or they see some crumbs, they can search automatically. Come Jan. 1, will that old habit get reinforced with new guidelines, with new teaching techniques in the way they carry out traffic stops or will the same

terim police superintendent; however, he is not being considered for the permanent job, according to Lightfoot. “Chief Beck has a well-deserved national reputation for leading the reform era of the Los Angeles Police Department that was rooted in the principles of transparency, accountability, and community partnership,” the mayor said. “That strategy led to historic results in crime reduction citywide,” she added. “Through his renowned transformational community policing, Chief Beck has proven to be a singular leader with the strength and vision to help lay the foundation for the changes our city needs as we move forward into the next era of the Chicago Police Department.” Two candidates who could succeed Johnson permanently are former 15th District Commander Barbara West and Austin native Alfonzo Wysinger, according to multiple media outlets and City Hall sources. West, a 25-year veteran with CPD, took over as 15th District commander in 2012. She was reappointed to the 11th District in 2015. Currently, she’s the chief of the department’s Bureau of Organizational Development, which is responsible for “implementing recommendations from the Mayor’s Police Accountability Task Force and the Department of Justice pattern or practice investigation of the Chicago Police Department,” among other functions. Wysinger, 58, retired in 2015 after 31 years with the department. At the time of his retirement, he was first deputy superintendent and the highest-ranking black in CPD. Wysinger had been promoted from deputy chief of detectives to the first deputy superintendent position in 2011, when he was considered for the superintendent job. Wysinger would not confirm or deny he is being considered for the job. As second in command, Wysinger worked alongside former Police Superintendent Gary McCarthy. News of Wysinger as a possible candidate to run the third largest police department in the country was well received by community leaders. The Rev. Marshall Hatch, pastor of New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church on the West Side, said the black community appreciates the dedication and service Wysinger provided to them during his tenure as a police officer. “This man not only cared about the people he served while a police officer, but he established relationships with those people, something not done by many officers working in the black community,” he said. Joining Lightfoot at a Nov. 8 City Hall news conference to announce the temporary hiring of Beck were several community leaders, including West Side Alderman Chris Taliaferro (29th) a retired Chicago police officer. “Personally I don’t think it would have been a bad idea to appoint an internal candi-

In the running Other candidates in the mix to replace Johnson (according to Crain’s Chicago Business) ■ Leo Schmitz: “Director of the Illinois State Police under former Gov. Bruce Rauner, Schmitz is currently chief of public safety for Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart.” ■ Eugene Williams: “A favorite of black aldermen when Mayor Rahm Emanuel was considering replacements for ousted Superintendent Garry McCarthy in 2016, Williams at the time was the longest continuously serving member of CPD’s command staff, with patrol and community policing experience. Williams is no longer with the department.” ■ Melissa Staples: “The current chief of the Bureau of Detectives, Staples is a former Near West Side police commander.” ■ Hiram Grau: A retired 27-year veteran of CPD who served as deputy superintendent and on the Police Accountability Task Force with Lightfoot, Grau has already been twice shortlisted to serve as superintendent” in 2003 and 2007. date like the first deputy superintendent as the interim superintendent. But I don’t think changing things up and choosing an external person is a bad thing either,” said Taliaferro. “I am very supportive of a permanent superintendent who has risen through the ranks of the Chicago Police Department.” He added that Johnson is leaving with his legacy of reducing crime and helping the community in good shape. “Certainly Superintendent Johnson is owed much credit for crime reduction and improving the overall moral of the police department,” said Taliaferro. “His imprint on this city will forever be remembered.” For his part, Johnson said his time had come to step down and spend more time with his family, including his wife and son — both police officers — who joined him at a Nov. 7 news conference at Police Headquarters. “It wasn’t until I attended a recent Bears game in London with my family that I realized how good it feels to be a ‘normal’ person and enjoy life,” explained Johnson. “But even before I attended the game, I told the mayor that we may need to sit down and figure out an exit strategy, because it’s only so long that I can console mothers that have lost their children to senseless gun violence.” Lightfoot praised Johnson for his commitment to the city and leadership as superintendent since being appointed in December 2016. “Superintendent Johnson has left this city in better shape than when he received it and for that we all should be internally grateful,” said Lightfoot.

BIG WEEK

A cautionary tale on marijuana?

he internet is more than social media. If used wisely, it is a learning tool that can expand one’s knowledge. I chose the word wisely, because all information that can be found on the internet is not necessarily fact. One of my favorite things to do is to research deceased famous singers and the stories behind their success. YouTube has proved to be a valuable resource. I have found numerous interviews placed there that these individuals had done in the past. As I was writing this column, I thought about VH1’s Behind the Music documentaries. Because I do not subscribe to cable, I’ve never seen the series. But I will check out to see what I can find that might be available over the internet. Anyway, I’ve enjoyed documentaries on YouTube regarding Marvin Gaye, Teddy Pendergrass, Barry White and my current fixation, Bob Marley. When music is profound, it survives the test of time. Although I’m familiar with the majority of Marvin Gaye’s work, listening to him talk was different. Because his speaking voice was something I didn’t recognize, it shows how a celebrity can resonate with you at one level but not at another. I can listen to Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On album over and over again because the words to his songs are as relevant today as they were when he first put out the album in 1971. What can I say about Teddy or Barry? I don’t think there’s a singer today that sings the kind of love songs they did. I was working on some of my endless projects and I needed inspiration to help me trudge through them. Although I am normally

not a big music listener, I do have moments where music helps to get me through things. Both of these singers can uplift a woman’s spirit with the lyrics they sing. I have always enjoyed reggae music and especially that from Bob Marley. His songs are either about love, protest or commentary on the world. As I was listening to a bunch of his songs, someone attributed the “Don’t Worry Be Happy” song to him. Further checking of the internet proved that Bob Marley never sang that song. It was recorded by Bobby McFerrin. That’s why sometimes with things found on the internet you have to search deeper. I watched a number of videos about Marley’s life and one thing struck me. He died in 1981 of cancer. According to the reports, in 1977, he was playing football (soccer) and injured his toe badly. He allegedly told the doctor that he had been having problems with that toe on and off. The toenail was removed, bandaged and the toe appear to heal. But the problem continued to occur. A subsequent diagnosis was given of skin cancer. Marley refused to have the toe amputated to stop the cancerous spread. Later he refused to have the foot amputated to again try and stop the spread. By the time he did decide to take some action, the cancer has spread throughout his entire body. Marley was also known to have smoked a significant amount of marijuana (ganja) a day. Marley was a practicing Rastafarian, and smoking ganja was considered a religious sacrament. What I can’t understand is that cannabis is now being touted as the “new medical miracle” solution to everything. Yet someone who used it continuously for years, in its most natural form ends up dying of cancer. I am perplexed and have continuously asked: How can that be?

Sinai Health, employees reach a deal, averting a strike By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

The Service Employees International Union Healthcare Illinois and Sinai Health System were able to reach a preliminary agreement three days before the labor union was scheduled to go on strike. The labor union represents 400 employees, including certified nursing assistants, housekeepers, dietitians, technicians and transportation workers employed by two Mt. Sinai Hospital, 1500 S. Fairfield Ave, and Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital, 1401 S. California Ave. The workers had been without a contract since June. On Oct. 2, the union officially voted to authorize a strike, but it wasn’t until Oct. 31 that it delivered a 10-day strike notice, allowing them to strike by Nov. 11. The two sides were able to come to an agreement on Nov. 8, only a few hours before the workers were scheduled to hold a pre-strike picket in front of Mt. Sinai Hospital. While they have been vague on the details, they did make it clear that the contract would include salary increases, smaller health insurance contributions for the workers and higher staffing levels. And while the contract didn’t resolve the issue of nurses seeking union recognition, SEIU Health Illinois intends to keep advocating for the nurses. Following the original strike authorization vote, union spokesperson James Mu-

hammad explained that employees had several major issues, including meager earnings, low staffing levels and a lack of community investment on the part of Sinai Health System. During the Nov. 8 joint press conference between the union and the hospital system, SEIU Health Illinois secretary Alice Jones said she experienced the effects of low pay first-hand. “My job is critical to keeping the community healthy, yet I was paid so little that I couldn’t afford to pay my rent,” she said. SEIU Heath Illinois spokesperson Catherine Murrell wrote in an e-mail that, under the new contract, the pay was brought closer to other Chicago area hospitals. “Before this new contract, 72 percent of hospital service workers at Sinai made less than $15 an hour, which amounts to a poverty wage in Chicago,” she wrote. “That’s compared with 61 percent of hospital service workers in the Chicago area, and 55 percent of hospital service workers in Illinois. The new contract will bring all Sinai service workers to at or above $15 within the first six months of the contract — meaning that workers are helping to set a new standard for wages within the hospital industry.” During the Nov. 8 press conference, Karen Teitelbaum, president and CEO of Sinai Health System, praised the negotiators on both sides for their hard work and described

the new agreement as a win for staff and patients. “The contract that we agreed to will lift the standards for wages, staffing, healthcare coverage and working conditions for hundreds of our certified nursing assistants, housekeepers, dietary and transportation workers, while ensuring high-quality care for our community,” she said. “Sinai has been providing high-quality care for people in need,” Teitelbaum added. “That’s been a heart of what we do for 100 years, and I really applaud the hard work of the negotiating team from Mt. Sinai and SEIU, to reach an agreement that will allow us to collectively look forward on our mission, and I continue to serve [and] improve the health of the most vulnerable communities in Chicago.” SEIU Healthcare Illinois president Greg Kelley echoed Teitelbaum’s gratitude, while adding that the workers’ tenacity and willingness to strike, if necessary, made the contract possible. “Our members here at Mt. Sinai are tremendously proud of the gains they made in this contract, especially the pay and staffing levels,” he said. “Today’s victory is a significant step towards lifting up the workers standards throughout the Chicago area hospital industry, a workforce that is disproportionately black and brown, and largely female. “Because of their commitment and their

tenacity, Sinai workers have won significant wage increases, bringing them much closer to the wages of staff at other Level I trauma centers in Chicago,” he said. “They have also secured higher staffing levels, which we believe will improve both working conditions and the quality of patient care throughout the entire hospital” Jacqueline Walter, a housekeeper, said that, with the new contract, she’ll receive the first raise she’s gotten in nearly five years of working at Sinai Health. “And we’re getting better staffing levels,” she added. “That makes a big difference to me.” The negotiations unfolded as registered nurses in the Sinai Health System attempted to gain union representation. They are currently seeking to be represented by SEIU Health Illinois. When asked about the state of the nurses’ unionization, Teitelbaum said the negotiations only dealt with the currently unionized staff, but Kelley explained that the SEIU proposed adding the nurses to the union during contract talks. “To be clear, we did propose that at the table,” he said. “We were not able to get that agreement. At the end of the day, the hospital won that, but we maintain that those workers have a right to form their union. And we’ll continue to make that case.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

Loretto Hospital leapfrogs in patient safety report By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Loretto hospital, 645 S. Central Ave. in Austin, has significantly improved its patient safety grade on the most recent Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade report — going from habitually getting C’s and D’s on the report to earning an A in the fall 2019 report. Based in Washington, D.C., Leapfrog is a national nonprofit that grades hospitals across the country based on how well they prevent injuries, accidents, infections and errors. Leapfrog conducts its report twice a year. Hospitals participate in the report voluntarily. This fall, 46 of the 108 Illinois hospitals that participated in the Leapfrog survey received A grades while 19 got B grades and 39 got C grades. According to the report, Loretto scores above average at preventing urinary tract infection, which can affect patients with catheters; and Clostridium difficile (C. diff), which is a bacterium “that can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and fever,” according to Leapfrog. Loretto does not have data to measure how well it prevents blood infection, surgical site infection after colon surgery, and infection caused by staph bacteria, particularly Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

LORETTO RISING: Loretto Hospital in Austin (seen over the summer during a mural unveiling) notched an A grade in Leapfrog’s fall 2019 hospital safety report. That’s a dramatic improvement over its previous performance on the report. (MRSA), which is “a type of staph bacteria that is resistant to (cannot be killed by) many antibiotics,” according to Leapfrog. George N. Miller, Loretto’s president and CEO, said in a press release that the hospital’s improvement in the Leapfrog ratings is “the result of revamping the hospital’s over-

all operations.” Miller took over at Loretto in November 2017. “Over the past two years we have made quality our top priority,” Miller said. “We realized having a strong operations is the only way to provide exemplary care to our patients. That is why we are rebuilding ev-

ery area of our operations to ensure our patients receives the same level of care on the West Side of Chicago as the people living downtown. “We want to improve the life expectancy of the residents we are privileged to serve. The only way to do this is by providing our patients with this highest quality of care in a safe holistic environment,” Miller said. Miller cited the implementation of “a number of quality and safety initiatives,” which include organizing quality teams “to conduct patient rounds 24 hours a day,” “morning safety huddles by hospital leadership,” and “around-the-clock environment of care safety checks,” among other initiatives. Loretto has also built a new Outpatient Infusion Therapy Center to treat chronically ill patients, built a new MRI service on-site and offers state-of-the-art mammography technology, among other improvements, hospital officials explained in the release. “All of these projects will continue to raise the community’s awareness about who we are, what we do and why we are here in this community,” Miller said. “We have a healing ministry. We are here to serve.” CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

Rose Farina, longtime Chicago cultural arbiter, dies at 88 Farina was director of programs and exhibits at the Richard J. Daley Center

Rose Farina — the longtime director of programs and exhibits at the Richard J. Daley Center in Downtown Chicago and the creator of the Weekday “Under the Picasso” free noontime entertainment programs — died on Nov. 2. She was 88. She was the mother of four sons, seven grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and the devoted wife of former Chicago alderman, World War II army veteran and civic leader Louis Farina. The couple was married for 60 years. Rose Farina began the wonderful noontime programs in what was then the Civic Center Plaza at the request of Mayor Richard J. Daley. She had previously worked as the ethnic coordinator for the Chicago Bicentennial Committee from 1975 to 1976. Farina would go on to serve under six different mayors during the 28 years she was

with the city’s Department of Cultural Affairs (formerly the Department of Fine Arts). She received countless accolades from throughout the ethnic, arts and entertainment community in Chicago and across the state, and was an early promoter of Black History Month. She also pushed for the recognition of military veterans, including those who fought in Vietnam. IN 1993, Farina was recognized as one of Chicago’s 100 Prominent Women, as part of the “Circle of Honor” Art Exhibit that saluted the contributions of 100 activists, artists and businesswomen. Farina received many recognitions over her long career, including a Superior Public Service Certificate. She was also recognized by former Mayor Richard M. Daley, the Chicago City Council, the Joint Committee of Italian Americans, the U.S. Department of Defense and more than 40 foreign governments. The Department of Cultural Affairs even donated a piano in her name and she was the Sicilian Cultural Association’s first Medal of Merit Recipient. One of her proudest achievements took place in 1993, when she invited the Italian town of Marostica to bring their Medieval

Human Chess Game to Chicago and stage a performance in full costume at the Daley Center Plaza, which was decorated as a huge chess board. The daughter of Italian Immigrants who came from the small mountain town of Ciminna, Sicily, Farina was the fourth of five children of James Torina, a plasterer and U.S. Army Veteran of World War I, and Francesca Graziano, a seamstress who worked in a parachute manufacturing factory during World War II. She attended Waller (Now Lincoln Park) High School and was a longtime resident of Galewood. She is survived by three of her four sons: Philip, James and Mark. Her son Richard passed away in 2016. Visitation will be Thursday, Nov. 21, from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the Salerno Galewood Chapel, 1857 N. Harlem Ave. in Chicago. Funeral Services are on Friday, Nov. 22, starting from the funeral chapel at 9 a.m., with services at 10 a.m., at St. Giles Catholic Church, 1045 N. Columbian Ave. in Oak Park. There will be a private burial. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

experts in the room to answer questions and also provide information about opportunities associated with the cannabis industry, said Westside Health Authority’s Quiwana Bell. “We wanted to get ahead of it and address what a lot of people are talking about on the street,” said Bell, the agency’s chief operating officer. “We want to make sure that people know what to expect in eight short weeks and not get caught off guard. Right now, it is a whole bunch of misinformation and noninformation.” Under the law, Illinois residents over the age of 21 can buy and possess up to 30 grams of cannabis flower, 500 milligrams of THC, the euphoric agent in marijuana, or 5 grams of cannabis concentrate. Non-residents are allowed half of that amount. Purchases can only be made from licensed dispensaries or establishments. This is new territory for the department, said 15th District Officer Edgar Brown, who plans to host additional forums as the implementation date nears. He said the department is still hammering out details on enforcement policies, but a rule of thumb is to treat recreational marijuana consumption similar to alcohol. State law prohibits consuming alcohol in public or in a vehicle. The same goes for marijuana, Brown said. “We are working on getting the kinks out,” he said. “[But] state law states you cannot drive under the influence.” Brown and Bell are both concerned about educating Austin youth about the new law. Brown said the biggest hurdle is informing

those under 21 that it still will be illegal to sell marijuana on the street in 2020. Bell noted that a lot of young people sell and use marijuana but have no idea what legalization means. According to the 2018 Illinois Youth Survey, 35 percent of 12th-graders and 10 percent of 10th-graders used marijuana in the last year. “Remember, under 21 can’t have it at all,” Brown said. “They can’t buy it. They can’t possess it. We want to make sure we educate the community on what’s about to happen.” Ald. Taliaferro agreed. When any type of vice becomes legal, like alcohol after the fall of Prohibition, there must be an education program in communities to inform people about marijuana’s benefits and ill-effects, he said, adding that a black market just like for alcohol can emerge for marijuana, especially for youth who cannot legally purchase it. That, he added, raises a concern of youth buying contaminated products. “I know they say marijuana can’t be addictive, but there has to be programs for minors involved with marijuana use or adults who are overconsuming,” Taliaferro said. “That educational component has to be there.” Other questions centered on the social equity portion of the state’s recreational marijuana law. That effort aims to help minority communities disproportionately penalized by the criminal justice system for marijuana possession. The law requires expungement of criminal records for marijuana possession. It also provides individuals impacted by the War on Drugs to get priority for li-

Do’s and don’ts of recreational marijuana

MARIJUANA

Questions answered from page 1 thing roll over.” The answer is that the aroma of marijuana alone is not enough to arrest someone once recreational marijuana becomes legal. But if someone possess more than the allowable amount, they can get ticketed, according to police officers attending the forum. Gill and other state residents must learn to navigate those legal nuances come Jan. 1. That’s when legal sale of recreational marijuana begins. In June, Illinois became the 11th state to legalize the drug. That raised a host of questions and concerns during the forum. Many, like Gill’s question, focused on law enforcement, labeling of cannabis products, dispensary locations, and security and educational outreach for youth about the new law. One question stumped the panelists: A resident asked about the ramifications for cancel-and-carry persons who possess the allowable amount of marijuana when stopped by the police. “I actually don’t know the answer to the question right now,” said Matthew Jannusch, an assistant State’s Attorney. “Guns and drugs are always a tricky thing. Right now, if you are walking around with 30 grams of plant material, you’re fine. If you got your conceal carry, you’re fine. I don’t know about the combo.” The forum’s goal was to get residents and

■ Marijuana may not be used in public (e.g. parks, sidewalks) ■ Marijuana may be used in private homes or licensed establishments ■ Landlords can ban cannabis use on property they own ■ Medical marijuana patients allowed 5 plants per household ■ Employers may still ban marijuana from the workplace ■ Employers may still test for marijuana

censing and financial opportunities to take advantage of the cannabis industry. Many expressed concern that blacks will still be locked out of that opportunity. The law gives first priority to sell recreational marijuana to state’s existing medical marijuana dispensaries, many of which are white-owned. Eleven such dispensaries operate in the city and the law gives them an opportunity to open one additional. “That’s why there is so much talk about social equity,” Taliaferro said. “There are no black owners. That becomes an economic loss in the black community or an economic gain in the white community.”
