Get Healthy - But Not Here
Quick questions for Rahm and his minions:
- You say you want city workers healthy in order to save hundreds of millions in costs over the next few years. If that's so, why did the Police Department cancel the "CrossFit" classes that were so popular at the Academy? Wouldn't this program dovetail nicely with your expressed desire to see a healthier workforce?
- And why is it so hard to get anything at the Academy workout center repaired? You have this supposed "state-of-the-art" gym and we receive e-mails regularly about machinery and equipment being broken and repairs being non-existent.
And wouldn't a healthier workforce benefit from a facility that isn't growing it's own mold? Just wondering.

I GOT A BETTER IDEA!
If we save the City $120,000,000.00 ( that's $240,000,000.00 in taxes before they do their stealing and misplacing) why don't they give US A $100.00!
Better yet! End the monthly co-pay!
Better still! End the deductable and property taxes!
Or best of all! Give us a commision on movers and parkers!

All of the treadmills at homan square are broken also, it seem to be a problem with the computer circuitry. Probably wouldn't be much to fix it. Anyone have any contacts at precore to get these machines fixed pro bono. How about the people who run the run to remember (Rhona) ? We need your help
Rahm if you really want to save the city money how about implementing a wellness requirment for all cha residents. Wouldnt it be great if we were to improve the health of the less fortunate.
And charge them $50 a month if they dont agree.
Then again we cant even drug test these unique individuals,as this is against their rights.
What a double standard!
Its not like they dont have the time to put in a workout.
Would be nice to go to a call where anyone other than the hypes weren't grossly obese!
I will agree that all city employees take part in this if it includes the aldermen and all their staff!
They should lead by example..
But we know that will never happen or their fat asses will fix the program for themselves!!!
And how about the revs take part also...
Lead by example!!!!
OT: Is there a new policy regarding supervisors having sexual relationships with subordinates?????

I've been on the job 24 years and as far back as I can remember it's been pretty much mandatory.

If any facility within the City if Chicago is termed "State of the Art" then that means it is encrusted with new and colorful varieties of mould. That is the state of the art here.
AND...why do they make us breath mold?
Unbeknownst to the average PO, The Daley Crime Family, on his last day in office, leased out several areas in the buildings owned by the city, including police facilities, for military bio-terror experimentation.
You'll understand better in May, 2012 when these mold spores are unleashed on the unsuspecting protesters at the G8. The hope is our officers will have built up an immunity by then due to constant exposure in our stations.
Repairs at Academy gym just ask the Sgt that takes 3 hour Woukouts on company time. He is in charge of returning military POs and threats them like crap. He thinks he is untouchable
Like everything Rahm has proposed this is just another PR gimmick to keep his Mugg in the news. Looks like he is doing things but in reality it is just the same political bullshit. Why not get those lard asses at City Hall to workout and get fit. How about those lazy corrupt Aldercreatures and their city payroll families. Can't imagine how they lug those satchels of cash to the bank every week.
Hey,if Rahmbolina really wanted us to be physically fit;he would arrange for us to get 50% discount membership at the East Bank Club...
What about the HIPPA Laws and how can you enforce standards and someones spouse?
Rahm doesn't want your fitness, he wants your $50.
If they wanted us healthy, the first thing they would do is fix the MOLD PROBLEM.
They are all smoke and mirrors and only want our $$$
And what about the gangbangers that are allowed access because of CAPS and all the Reverends bitching about after school bullshit for the savages?
O/T The Fire Department just announced a whole slew of promotions from top to bottom but we get to run extremely short of detectives, sergeants, and lieutenants.
Don't the new district buildings each have a workout room with equipment and free weights?
Sources have let on that Tiny-Dancer 9.5 will offer fitness memberships to the CPD in return for mandatory fitness tests. This program will be overseen by a martial arts expert who has been known to punch-out 300 crunches at time. He currently works in PTS on the 3rd watch. Impressive.
When did they get rid of Crossfit??
Drug test welfare leeches
It appears that Rahm is nothing more than a blow hole and his new Police Superintendent is a hand job. Please vote republican in the next election!!
Eayy solution for broken gym equipment. Since the city wont pay to fix it. Put a sign up and ask for donations from people that use it. Ten or twenty should do it. Call company and they send out rep to fix it. Homan has a indoor track what do you really need a treadmill for? Take some intiative. What the hell does the run to remember have to do with a broken treadmill.
New policy regarding supervisors having sexual relationships with subordinates- you must work in 023!
I can save the ballerino a ton of money--here's your 'Wellness Plan':
1. Maintain a healthy weight
2. Exercise 30 min. 3-5/week
3. Get enough sleep
4. Moderate alcohol consumption
5. Eat more fruits/vegetables
6. Eat less red meat/more fish
7. Active sex life
Everyone on earth knows this already. If compliance isn't enforced, why does he expect people will change their behavior? You can bet your blue ass compliance is the next step--if you don't improve your health--you're fired!
That will be $200K please!
There are a bunch of morons running this city--that's why nothing works.
Get with it!
They make you work horrible hours, make you live in the city, give you filthy stations that they now let homeless mentals sleep in and want to tax you if you don't live a healthy lifestyle?
How about cleaning up the filthy work places first you liberal communist dictator asshole?
Who is this Sgt from the academy who is working out for 3 hours on company time and why is he getting away with this.Sup please check in in this please
And when the 9-hr day was proposed the unions asked that 1-hr each day be allowed for the officer to work out in the station. That would cover the overlap times, etc and benefit the city by reduced medical care payments and a healthier police dept. The city's response to the proposal: NO. My response to cconsulting with a city sponsored wellness coach: NO.
cut police , cut firfighters , cut streets and san , but rahm keeps 50 alderman that . The number of alderman should be 20 and salary should be reduced by 30 % with no expense account .

Would you be referring to the extramarital relationship McJersey is having with a female subordinate that Rahm allegedly is very unhappy about???
If the city really did care about saving dough on employee health, they would look at the various department's cultures, as you suggest. For CPD, it does make more sense to implement a fitness/health program at the academy or other CPD gyms etc. Research has shown, looking into the culture of the workforce and planning health promotion from there, produces better results.
Better yet! End the monthly co-pay!
Better still! End the deductable and property taxes!

I like the commission idea. Since the city claims no money is available and revenue is needed, commission should be given on every parker, mover, anov and tow/impound. The buget crisis would be over by the end of the year. Silly me that would give the 50 thieves more to steal.
I have no idea how that gym fell into such disrepair in such a short time. Was there last week, and 2 of the treadmills had "out of order" signs taped to them, the ellipticals are actually RUSTING, and the water fountain is a mere trickle. Oh, and not a big deal, but since the dept cancelled cable, those 5 beautiful Samsung flatscreens are going unused I think one of them has a converter box hanging from it, so if its a nice clear day, one station may actually come in! There are signs all around that say "if any of the equipment is in need of repair, email PO ______" I've sent her about 3 e-mails to date, and all have gone unanswered.
I have found that private sector employees have Credit Unions that are more willing to provide good service to their customers and provide better rates than our blood-sucking thief Chicago Patrolmans Credit Union. They definitely provide their services based on clout, because they are a clout based organization that makes huge profits by sandbagging police officers!
Off topic:
From the Sunday Chicago Trib
While lobbying this spring for lawmakers to support a change in pensions for city workers, Emanuel called Democratic state Rep. Greg Harris, a longtime acquaintance who represents Emanuel's North Side neighborhood. Harris opposed the legislation, which never got traction in Springfield.
Emanuel pressed Harris to change his mind, and, according to several lawmakers who heard the story, began swearing at him and threatening to burn down his house if he didn't.
Harris didn't dispute the story but declined to provide details of the conversation.
Nice Guy
003rd district has a state of the art 1970's era workout gym.
Since almost all of the food available to eat during a shift (if you even are given time to eat) is shit from crappy fast food joints why doesn't Rahm bring in caterers to every station and area every damn shift and provide cops with healthy tasty food? Wouldn't that be cheaper for the city?
Rahm's "wellness program" is like just about everything else he proposes: there is always a secret agenda. In this case, it is more unnecessary government intrusion into people's lives. Rahm never revealed up-front the details and demands involved as to how this program would be implemented, and what privacy rights would be sacrificed, and to how many people and agencies would these rights be sacrificed? And, notice how Rahm never wastes another opportunity to paint city workers in a bad light (for his obvious agenda to destroy our unions).
There is an old saying that is very true: "Eyes are the windows of the soul." Take a very good look at Rahm's eyes...in print, and on video. What do you see? Warmth, compassion, understanding, honesty, goodness? Or do you see diabolical cunning, arrogance, and bone-chilling coldness? And if you can get past his eyes, which reveal a truly ruthless man, you may notice his smirk, which betrays his satisfaction in already being in total control of this city, with the prostitute press singing his praises daily, no matter how much he lies.
One of my favorite quotes is, "Do not pray for an easy life; pray to be a strong person." These are indeed, times in which we all need to be very strong, with such a formidable, manipulative man as mayor.

9/18/2011 06:41:00 AM
Actually, that was his only assignment. To handle the RSO's. Now another sgt handles the RSO's in addition to other jobs. He was special with those long workouts. And the RSO's are kicked around like a football. Such a shame.
How about the station equipment? Unless you are in one of those "new" stations you are SOL.
I have spoken to the academy staff on numerous occasions about the broken equipment and have been lied to about the repairs. One treadmill is broke, one elyptical is broke, one stationary bike is broke, the hipslead is broke, the water fountains are broke, and the TV'S have not worked for over a year.
class warfare. the dems will never address government waste or the expanding freeloader wagon. watch what they say and what they do.
OT - rumor has it that G-Dog days are numbered. Rahm not happy with all the drama at 35th street.

Must be nice Rahm to have a supervisor making big $$$ lifting in the gym and treating your Military Guys like scum.
-The ADS Howie must approve his behavior too

Heres a great stay healthy principle Rahmmie Commie, have all welfare recipients, Link Card Holders, etc. take a piss test at least 3 times a year to remain eligible for their freebies. Piss Hot, lose your Taxpayer paid for freebies, and pay like everyone else does. Got money for dope? Then you have money for food for yourselves and your kids.

How about fixing up the gyms in the old districts so we can workout
Hell, broken equipment for safety and fitness has been the norm on the CPD. We are use to that, but if they really cared about our health how about getting rid of all the mold problems? Also, how about if a copper passes the fitness test every year they are considered to be fit?
You're missing the point. The city is offering a way to make you healthier, you don't do it, the city trys to correct your behavior by citing a fine. You continue in your deviant behavior, the city has you pay for your own insurance.
If Rahm forces this on us it could backfire on him. No other segment of the city work force is screwed with across the board on a regular basis.
Want to close down a moldy station, EVERYONE suffers from rhinitis and lung problems that occur when you walk in the door and seems to cling to your uniforms and follow you home to your family.
Can you think about all the Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome they will be hearing about. I really need to get off midnights, off this watch, away from that boss or a transfer closer to home.
Stay Safe, Stay Healthy, Sober Exercise, Register and Vote.
I read that to maintain optimum health you need to have sex three times a week. I've got a lot of making up to do.
Can I get a prescription for that and is it covered by Blue Cross.

Leave the SGT. alone.....He's a good SGT. does his job and doesn't bother us when we retead........
Gym? Treadmill? Eliptical? Why don't you do some pushups, situps, and go outside and run?
I'd like to see how great a detective our new Supt. really is. Let's see if he can root out that gossipy, back-biting, shemale that has managed to ensconce itself somewhere at headquarters for years now, perpetuating useless rumors and depressing the fuck out of everyone. That would improve the health of staff at that location anyway.

yep i agree. when the credit union was downtown back in the day, they were exactly that.... a credit union with its focus on helping us - the p.o.'s. Now they act like a bank and do not help out at all. i was in a bind a few times in the recent past and they have lost their focus... i will be taking out my little bit of $$ i have and take my money elsewhere! Gwen was definately the best Mgr the credit union ever had. if you needed help, she'd extend the hand out and help one out. customer service at it's best. not the b.s. we get now. We're not going anywhere, you know where we work you scumbag credit union people. you're supposed to help us not deny us !!! we all make mistakes and or fall prey to lifes /societies con-artists like anyone else. But you want to deny us help. if it were not for us the members you would not have grown as big as you have !!!!!!!!!!!!!1 F.Y !!!

Manufacturing and activating a bomb and then passing it around a classroom of children has NEVER been an "experiment" of any kind.

I'm sure we'd be hearing this offhand, casual tone from you if this had happened to him in school.

Officer injured by dry-ice bomb
By Kristopher Hanson, Staff Writer
04/12/2011 06:34:53 AM PDT
[Photo caption] Long Beach Police and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents investigate Bort Street in Long Beach on Sunday, the site of several explosions of bombs made of water and dry ice. An LBPD officer was injured.
"LONG BEACH — A Long Beach police officer was slightly injured Sunday after a crude dry-ice bomb exploded next to him in an alley near the Artesia (91) Freeway.
"As they searched an alley near Bort Street and Butler Avenue, a dry-ice bomb hidden inside a plastic bag exploded, sending the officer reeling.
"The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Bomb Squad was called in to detonate [a] third device, and residents were temporarily evacuated to avoid further injuries.
"It can take anywhere from 30 seconds to an hour for a dry-ice bomb to rupture, depending on temperatures outside of the bottle, according to California criminal codes banning the devices.
"The latest incident isn't the first time Long Beach or surrounding cities have seen multiple dry-ice bomb explosions in a single day.
"In the 1990s, a spate of similar explosions in Norwalk forced authorities to issue public warnings about the dangers linked to these explosives, which often cause serious injuries to both unsuspecting victims and bomb-makers.
"They're also a felony punishable by jail time and steep fines.
"In recent years, several teenage boys and young men have been arrested and charged with felonies after planting dry-ice bombs in neighborhoods and near schools in Long Beach, Paramount, Cypress and Lakewood, according to Press-Telegram archives.
"And in 1995, a 12-year-old Paramount boy underwent several surgeries at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center after his face and an eye were shredded when a dry-ice bomb he was building exploded."
