Aldermen press new police agency for details
West Side aldermen particularly concerned about locations of COPA satellite offices, minority hires By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter
During a Nov. 1 City Council budget hearing, several West Side aldermen raised questions about how, specifically, the new civilian police oversight body will function as it relates to improving community and police relations in their neighborhoods. And some aldermen across the city sounded alarm because the proposed budget for the new body is less than what the ordinance creating the oversight body had called for. The new oversight body, called the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, was created last October to replace the Independent Police Review Authority as the body responsible for investigating complaints against the Chicago Police Department. Unlike its predecessor, COPA can investigate allegations of illegal search and seizure, as well as domestic violence complaints — both of which were previously handled by CPD’s internal affairs office. COPA is also empowered to look for patterns of police misconduct and make legally binding recommendations to address them. According to the amended ordinance that creatSee COPA on page 8

THE DOCTOR IS IN: David Scheiner takes a break in his family room at his home in Galewood.
A charmed life in Galewood’s Miracle House David Scheiner’s outsized personality matches his abode
By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
Dr. David Scheiner gets emotional when he talks about his home, a mid-century modern that commands the corner of Armitage and Nordica in Galewood like a 1950s-era Hollywood starlet stranded in Peoria. It is both sexy and sublime, both glam pad and cathedral. “If my health will hold up, I’ll stay there until I’m feeble,” Scheiner said during an interview last week. He was on the
verge of tears. “I’ve never been in a house where every single time I walk in I’m excited.” The house was designed by the architect Edo Belli in 1954 to benefit St. William Church, according to WTTW’s Geoffrey Baer. The home was the grand prize in a raffle the church sponsored to raise money for a new house of worship. Tickets were $1 and the consolation prizes were ashtrays imprinted with an image of the home. By the time the raffle was over, Baer
said, the church had raised enough funds to cover the cost of the house itself, the new church, a convent, a school and a refectory. “By the time it was over, the house was entirely built with donated labor and materials,” said Baer. General Electric, for instance, donated electrical equipment. The famous Hollywood actress Kim Novak, an alumnus of St. William, came to town to announce the winner of the home

Harold Blake, on three decades of selling women’s clothes Harold Blake is celebrating his 30th year at Avanti Elegant Boutique, his women’s clothing store located at 5949 W. Chicago Ave. in Austin, with something every woman will appreciate — a 50 percent off sale. In early November, he’s replacing racks of pastel and lighter weight clothing with heavier winter wear, so it’s a good time to hunt for bargains. You can reach him at (773) 378-8514 or by email avantihal@att.net. During a visit to his store earlier this month, Blake talked about his life and his store. I grew up in Cotton Plant, Arkansas, and came to Chicago in 1959 and opened a beauty supply store in 1983. A friend suggested I get into selling clothes. I live in Austin and I’ve run this store since 1987. I like meeting people, and I enjoy meeting a lot of the women. You ask what they want in sizes and colors and if they’re not sure, tell them to just look around. A lot of my customers are mature women and we have plus sizes. They’re looking for reasonably priced suits, hats, dresses, jewelry, purses. I sell some shoes too. Suits, especially dressy for church, are
the bestselling clothes at Avanti. I try to get the jump on distributors when summer ends and winter begins. They sell off everything at low prices, so I pick it up and try to save my customers money, too. I always have a rack of clothes I’m selling at 50 to 60 percent off. Fashions change and business is slower now, because people are not dressing up like they used to. But I’m still here, every Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It’s something to do rather than sit at home.

MIRACLE HOUSE Glamorous from page 1 (since dubbed the Miracle House), who happened to be a parishioner. Scheiner bought the house in 1999 on the advice of his late wife, who had known about the home while growing up on the Northwest Side. When it was on the market, the couple, who weren’t married at the time, toured the roughly 4,000-square-foot home. “I walked in and my jaw dropped,” Scheiner said, noting that he purchased the whole thing for around $375,000 at the time. The home, he said, is 70 percent glass, the floors are marble, the Jetson-style stainlesssteel arms imitate the flying buttresses that hold up European cathedrals. Fitting with its history, the home seamlessly marries the secular with the spiritual. During his interview last month, Scheiner pulled out his cellphone to show a grainy photo of a smiling man sitting in the driver’s seat of a fancy automobile that’s parked out in front of the Miracle House. The photo has to be at least 40 or 50 years old. “Take a close look,” Scheiner says. “Who is that? Yes. Hugh Hefner.” Hefner, like Novak, grew up in Galewood. Scheiner’s own back story is as charmed as his home of 18 years. The retired physician likes to say he knew Barack Obama before Michelle did, which is probably true. Scheiner was the former president’s personal doctor for nearly two decades right up until Obama won the presidency in 2008. “My practice was in Hyde Park, where he lived,” Scheiner said. “He came in one day. He wasn’t even state senator yet. He might have still been at Harvard Law. During his very first visit into the office, I asked him if was going into politics. “The very first visit. When he walked into the room, the room changed. He had a presence about him that was hard to describe, but it changed the atmosphere in the room. The only other person who I can describe that way is Cardinal Bernardin. When Bernardin entered a room, it changed. Obama has a presence about him.” The would-be president, Scheiner said, had a habit of speaking to everyone in the waiting room — from university professors to people on public aid. Scheiner said that around 80 percent of his clientele was black. “I’m probably the only physician who has had two African American senators for patients,” he said. “Carol Mosley Braun was a close friend of my first wife.” Scheiner said he didn’t accompany the president to Washington D.C. because, typically, the personal physicians of presidents come from a military background and have expertise in administering emergency care. When Obama was attempting to pass his signature legislation, the American Affordable Care Act, Scheiner — a proponent of single payer health care — was one of his
former patient’s most outspoken critics, speaking to outlets like Fox News and Forbes rather frequently. So what’s his diagnosis of his former patient’s eight years in office? “I’m trying to figure out where I would put him in terms of presidents,” Scheiner said. “Not great, but maybe a notch below the greats. We’ve had so many terrible presidents, to say he would be near the top is sort of damning him with faint praise.” Scheiner said he’s feeling rather despondent about the state of politics in America. When he talks about the current president, the former doctor’s wit shines through, his conversation veering toward oral history. “I grew up in a conservative family,” he said. “My uncle was the founder and publisher of U.S. News & World Report. There was one Republican senator who I liked a lot. That was when there was such a thing as moderate Republicans. I haven’t voted a Republican for dog catcher in a while. I’m shocked by the way they’re behaving now. The fact that they’re not speaking out against Trump is appalling.” What about his diagnosis of Trump? “There’s one thing about Trump that people don’t give him credit for,” Scheiner said. “The Buchanan family is amazingly happy about Trump because for many years Buchanan was considered the worst president we’ve ever had.” If Studs Terkel could have heard that voice. Then again, he likely may have. He, too, was one of Scheiner’s patients. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

A Lawndale college fair serves as primer for area students The Oct. 28 event wrapped up the Loving Lawndale to Life campaign By BONNI McKEOWN Contributing Reporter
During an Oct. 28 college fair held at Carey Tercentenary AME Church, 1448 S. Homan in North Lawndale, college representatives and enrollment coaches gave out advice to students wondering what’s in store for them after high school. The event was hosted by the Loving Lawndale to Life campaign, a community-based civic engagement initiative. Counselors focused particularly on the federal loan process. The period for filling out FAFSA, the federal form that colleges use for determining financial need for scholarships and awards, started on Oct. 1. The form does not cost anything to fill out, but is very detailed. A state agency, the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, helps students plan to take the FAFSA and apply for college and financial aid. College representatives and counselors recommend that aspiring college students fill out FAFSA as soon as possible, since federal aid is limited. JP Paulus of Do-Gooder Consulting has a program to help youth workers, counselors and ministers get up to speed on college procedures so they can help coach students, fitting this service into the context of their own work or ministry. His advice: Don’t look for the money first, look for a college that has what you want. Say you want to learn how to open your own restaurant — Kennedy-King College has both culinary and business courses, he said. Think about whether you want to go away to college. If you have negative influ-

Consider all college costs, such as tuition, room and board, travel, books and supplies, and miscellaneous things like shampoo and soap, among other expenses, Paulus added. Some colleges offer a pay-in-advance plan if you know you want to go to that particular school. If you have to get a loan, first use federal money and then
consider institution loan funds. Private loans should be a last resort and never get into payday loans, he said. Other college experts on hand included Austin resident Steveon B. Drisdell, a coordinator for PATH Upward Bound Math & Science programs with Trio, Introspect Youth Services Inc., 430 N. Cicero. The nonprofit group offers mentorship, college and business tours especially for low-income, first-generation minority students up to age 24 in Austin and western suburbs in Proviso Township. One Introspect grad, Charles Anderson, was named EPCJ principal of the year for his work at Michelle Clark H.S., Drisdell said. “I see 140 kids as mentees,” said Drisdell. “I go and sit in classes with them to see what they’re facing in life these days. I tell them, I’m here for you, but I expect them to make sacrifices to get ahead. My mom made sacrifices to send us to St. Agatha. From there we had to pick up the torch, get good grades and go to college. If you get good grades, you can get a scholarship.” A flyer that was being passed around from the Illinois Student Assistance Commissoin gives four points for students to remember: Be a pain: let everyone, including your family, teachers, and church, know you want to go to school and ask for help. Push yourself: keep your grades and knowledge up and it will be easier to get into college. Find the colleges that best fit you and your career goals. And nail down the tests and forms you must take to get a scholarships and financial aid. The college fair, organized by community consultant Valerie Leonard and hosted by Crystal Overton, wrapped up a series of Loving Lawndale to Life programs which began in July. The Loving campaign was supported by a $2,500 grant obtained through Act-Up with the WestSide Branch NAACP. It grew out of the On the Table discussions, which Chicago Community Trusts sponsors every year. CONTACT: bonni@barrelhousebonni.com
Area job seekers looking beyond the conventional search Skills, a job placement nonprofit, has put thousands of West Side residents back to work
By XUEER ZHANG AustinTalks
Austin resident Leatrice Shorty was excited when she received a job offer from United Airlines in March. “I like it,” said Shorty, 28, who’s been working at O’Hare International Airport as a customer service representative for the airline the last six months. “Most of the jobs I’ve done was customer service,” she said. “So this is basically a higher level because of the customer service I’ve been doing.” Shorty, who has 13 years of experience in customer service, says she was laid off by her previous employer, CSL Plasma, last year. As human costs and other expenses went up each year, the company had to cut its payroll; several higher-paid employers lost their jobs, Shorty said. The layoffs were upsetting, she said, but it gave her hope when she saw a position at United Airlines posted on Skills for Chicago-
land’s Future’s website. “I was like, ‘I will give it a try,’” Shorty said, adding she had been sending applications to a variety of agencies, including Skills, a non-profit, public-private partnership that aims to return unemployed and underemployed job seekers to work. The organization, which is based in the West Loop, soon got back to Shorty and arranged an interview for her. After another interview with United Airlines, Shorty started her new job at O’Hare in April. Launched in 2012, Skills has helped place about 4,500 people in jobs across Chicago, approximately a third of whom come from the city’s West Side, said Cherita Ellens, vice president of business operations and communications at Skills. “We work with a lot of individuals from both the South and West sides of Chicago,” Ellens said, adding their work has had its biggest impact on communities where unemployment rates are the highest, including Austin, Auburn-Gresham and West Garfield Park. The group, which adopts a so-called “demand-driven model,” has been able to help
job seekers get more money and stay longer in their positions, Ellens said. “What’s unique about our model is that we are first driven by the need of employers,” she said. “We are able to get to know the employer on a deeper and more intimate level, and find out what they are looking for beyond the job description.” The key is making the right match, she said. Skills offers a wide range of job opportunities, Ellens said, including in retail, manufacturing, aviation, food service and healthcare. “They are really varied in terms of the roles in the industry and the experience level,” she said. In 2016, the group placed more than 100 Austin job seekers, Ellens said, adding they are on track to place another 100 this year. “We are looking at zip codes . . . 60644 and 60651,” Ellens said. “That’s where we are going to find the candidates that we need to fill these roles.” Skills has been seeking talent for a number of major businesses that have a presence on and near the West Side, including O’Hare,
Freeman, Rush, Walgreens, Bank of America and Chase, in addition to downtown employers, Ellens said. The group has also been working with Austin Peoples Action Center and Austin Coming Together to reduce unemployment in the community, which is over 20 percent. The city of Chicago also has been working to bring commerce back to some of the communities that Skills serves, Ellens said. “Hopefully, residents on the South and West side will be able to feel that in the years to come,” she said, but adding “that will take some time.” “In the meantime, we have to be creative and find those opportunities that people on the South and West side can access,” Ellens said. “It’s about understanding where the job trends are going, what are the demands and what are the jobs for tomorrow.” Skills plans to start a new program next month for individuals age 17 to 24, she said. That program will include providing support services for young adults who may find it difficult to stay employed. CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com

ed COPA, the oversight body’s budget must be no less than 1 percent of “the annual appropriation of all non-grant funds for the Police Department contained in the annual appropriation ordinance for that fiscal year.” The city’s proposed fiscal year 2018 budget sets the total appropriations for CPD at $1.49 million, while setting total appropriations for COPA at $13.3 million. One percent of CPD’s budget is $14.9 million — over $1 million higher than what COPA was budgeted. And when subtracting the nearly $36 million that CPD is expected to receive in grants, including grant funds that will carry over from last fiscal year, the CPD total budget drops to $1,46 million. One percent of that is $14.6 million — still a little under $1.3 million more than what COPA was budgeted. Judge Patricia Banks, COPA’s interim chief administrator, said during the Nov. 1 budget hearing that the agency’s budget was based on “our considered judgement on how to efficiently and responsibly run COPA as a new ‘best in class’ police oversight agency.” Banks said that the agency’s major priorities would be to train investigators and legal staff, build a new process to make it easier to assess the agency’s investigative files and allow civilians to keep better track of investigations, establish four satellite offices “in neighborhoods where there is a high volume of police interactions” to make it easier to file complaints, address the backlog of investigations COPA inherited from IPRA and do extensive community outreach to educate residents about COPA’s mission. According to data provided by the agency, out of all of COPA’s new hires, 36 percent were African American, 50 percent were white, three percent were Asian and 10 percent were Hispanic. Out of the 41 newly hired African Americans, 14 were male and 27 were female. At last year’s IPRA/COPA budget hearing, Aldermen Jason Ervin (28th) and Chris Taliaferro (29th) both raised concerns about COPA’s hiring of blacks, particularly black men. During the Nov. 1 hearing, Ervin, Ald. Emma Mitts (37th) and Ald. Michael Scott (24th) pressed Banks on the locations of the COPA satellite offices. The interim chief said that some locations are under consideration. “We have identified locations,” she said.
“When we move in those locations, we’ll be able to share them.” Scott then asked whether there would be one location on each side of the city how the locations would be determined. Banks, however, declined to elaborate on this issue. “What we are going to do is make sure those satellites are placed appropriately in places where they do most good,” she said, adding that once the locations are nailed down, she will inform Scott and other aldermen. COPA has already done some outreach through community meetings organized by Ervin and Taliaferro, among other aldermen. Scott said that, while those were helpful, he felt that sending some information to ward offices directly would help even more. “What you’re suggesting in terms of reaching out and dealing with aldermanic offices — that’s what we do,” Banks replied. “It’s a proper way, and I think its most effective way of reaching out to citizens of Chicago.” Ervin said that he was concerned about COPA’s mediation program for officers, saying that he felt like officers were “copping a plea” in the process. The interim chief replied that she felt that mediation was a good thing in cases that don’t involve “very serious” allegations. “In some instances, what we’d like to do is parse off some of the cases that are more ‘minor’ in nature,” Banks said. “Our goal is that, in conclusion of that mediation, both parties will go away with a better understanding of what did or didn’t go wrong. An officer might walk away from it saying ‘maybe I shouldn’t have said what I had.’” Ald. Joe Moore (49th) noted that one of the complaints against IPRA was that complaints took years to investigate and wondered what COPA would do differently. Banks responded that they have “layers and layers of supervisors” to move investigations along and that the agency would be looking at why some investigations are taking longer than others and what it could do to change that. Moore also said that there have been criticisms that IPRA’s police shooting investigations never found officers at fault and asked Banks to respond to that. “It’s not IPRA — it’s COPA, and COPA is moving forward, and we’re going to do what we need to do to reach conclusion to those investigations,” she replied. “If the facts fall on [the side of officer’s guilt], we want to back this finding up. If it’s not sustained, we got to back this finding up.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

West Siders question new police oversight body
Residents say they still fear making complaints to COPA because of police retaliation By XUEER ZHANG AustinTalks
Austin residents voiced concerns about the office of Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA), the newly formed agency that investigates police misconduct, during a community meeting held on Nov. 1 at Columbus Park Refectory, 5701 W. Jackson Blvd. in Austin. Residents at last week’s meeting raised sharp questions about how they’ll be protected if and when they file complaints; some expressed fear about how police would treat them after a complaint was filed. Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th), who worked for the Chicago Police Department before being elected alderman, did not attend the meeting because lawmakers had been summoned to City Hall to work on the city’s 2018 budget, said Pam Moore, Taliaferro’s chief of staff, who moderated the meeting. COPA was created through a 2016 city ordinance to replace the Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA) in the aftermath of Laquan McDonald’s shooting death. It officially started to take over complaints filed to IPRA while opening new investigations on Sept. 15, Paul Patterson, COPA’s senior public information officer, told about a dozen residents. Quarterly reports about cases closed and those under review are available online to ensure transparency, Patterson said, adding they have 13 attorneys on the team who actually go to court. The agency currently has a total of about 90 staff members, including 70 investigators, three major case analysts and two data information analysts, Patterson said. He added that 23 of IPRA’s 40 employees have transitioned to COPA. The team is highly trained and diverse, Patterson said, adding they are transparent and independent from the Chicago Police Department. “We are able to present our findings and recommendations,” he said, citing examples such as termination, suspension and firing. While COPA can propose disciplinary actions against officers based on their investigation, each case must still go to the CPD Superintendent then the Chicago Police Board as part of the review process. Residents at last Wednesday’s meeting also wondered how the agency can remain independent with a chunk of COPA’s budget coming from the city of Chicago. Without giving direct answers, Patterson told the crowd the question also came up during budget hearings earlier in the day at City Hall. “Although we are independent, our budget is still a part of the city of Chicago [budget],” he said, stressing they are able to function as a neutral body.
In response to residents’ request to meet the investigative team in person, Patterson said investigators who live in the 29th Ward will talk about their work at January’s 29th Ward meeting. Molly Poppe, a spokeswoman for the Office of Budget and Management, told DNAinfo that COPA’s budget is about $17.5 million. The budget could allow COPA to hire 17 more investigators as well as more senior advisors and attorneys, Patterson said. The agency is trying to increase its community presence on Chicago’s West Side, he added, noting Austin will be the first area where COPA community nights will be held, starting in January. While complainants can remain anonymous and opt to keep certain information confidential, a couple of residents say they think it could be hard to hold officers accountable while also making sure they remain safe during and after an investigation. “We did have the experience with some police officers who use their power to abuse someone, like a bully,” said one Austin resident during the meeting, who did not want to be named because of fear of retaliation. “If you are people they don’t like, they put tickets on your cars,” a couple of residents told Patterson, asking how they could file complaints against multiple misbehaving officers without knowing their names. Patterson said they could submit videotapes through COPA’s Facebook page, adding they have received several anonymous clips from witnesses. “Any type of evidence that you may obtain is powerful,” he said, encouraging residents to file reports about anything suspicious or being done in retaliation. Community involvement is important, he said. “My primary concern is retaliation,” an Austin resident said in an interview after the meeting; she also declined to give her name. “The police, they carry guns.” She said she’s not sure how far a COPA investigation can go and repeated what others had said — that they fear officers can easily come after them if they don’t like what’s been reported. “If you go through this process, will something actually happen to this person, like will he stop his retaliative actions against you? Or are you just spinning around, wasting time and maybe make things worse for yourself ?” Her concern was echoed by another Austin resident. “If someone made an allegation against me, how can I defend myself if you don’t know who that person is?” she said. She also questioned how investigators will be able to acquire information about officers without exposing the witness’ identity. “They will know who they are,” she said. The residents said they need to talk to the investigators about the process before giving their full trust to the agency. The Chicago Police Department did not respond to a request for comment.

Survival guide for the teen years
he teen years. They only last seven short/long years and should be the most wondrous time of a person’s life. For far too many black children, they are also the death years. Young people’s lives are snuffed out due to violence and — as has happened far too often of late — during the commission of a crime. It seems like every couple of months there is a horrific story of a young teenager killed while trying to rob and steal or in the aftermath thereof. We had the teen who tried to stick up a man at the bank in Oak Park and the “victim” who had a valid concealedcarry license drew his weapon and shot the offender dead. We had another teen just weeks ago, who decided to hop into someone else’s car; he was killed when he was shot by the car’s owner. Recently in south suburban Dolton, a stolen vehicle was pulled over. Inside the car were three young people who had fled the mall after being spotted shoplifting. When the cop approached the car, the vehicle took off at a high rate of speed. The ensuing crash killed a young teenager who was a passenger in the stolen car. His story, like many of the others, has had family members who have lost their loved one getting condolences on that loss. At the same time, comments by the public on the news story can be honestly vicious. There is no sympathy or empathy given for those killed during the commission of a crime. My question/dilemma is this: If a person is killed while committing a crime, are they on their way to heaven or are they headed straight to hell? I know many churches/
pastors don’t like to bring up the polar opposite to God and Heaven. But if we accept that light has dark, summer has winter, man has woman, then good has to have a counterpart in evil. Does one look at the dead kid and profess, “He’s in a better place?” Can his obituary have him with angel’s wings when it’s more likely he now has devil’s horns? Should the standard wording, “accepted Christ at an early age,” be omitted? Over the 14 years I’ve been writing this column, whenever we get near the upcoming holiday season, I’ve written about speaking with one’s loved ones about their behavior. This year the emphasis needs to be even greater. For girls, the saga of Kenneka Jenkins should be an automatic subject of discussion — from partying at hotel rooms with adult men, the responsibility that comes with friendship (we arrive together and must leave together), to the age-old “designated driver,” made even more important because of the drinking and drugs involved. We may never learn the full truth of how Kenneka ended up in that freezer, but her “friends” have a lot of explaining to do. For boys, and that is exactly what a 15-year-old is, the emphasis on their ill-advised decision-making processes can never be too much. Riding in a stolen car, stealing from a store and then speeding off when stopped by the police are all bad decisions that each led to one of their deaths. My mother raised her three children by always telling us that she knew where to find us on visiting day. That can be amended to include cemetery visiting hours!
