Bond denied for Bensenville man accused of shooting police officer Eight of 10 shots allegedly fired struck officer DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin and Bensenville Chief of Police Daniel Schulze announced Sunday, Nov. 7, that bond had Kiante Tyler been denied for a Bensenville man accused of shooting a Bensenville police officer eight times.

Kiante Tyler, 21, appeared in bond court Sunday morning in front of Judge James Orel, who granted the state’s petition to deny bond.

Tyler has been charged with one count of attempted first degree murder (Class X felony), one count of aggravated battery to a police officer with a firearm (Class X felony) and two counts of aggravated battery to a police officer (Class 2 felony).

On Saturday, Nov. 6, at approximately 12:55 a.m., the Bensenville

Police Department was notified of a domestic disturbance in the 100 block of S. York Road. When the first officer arrived, he began speaking with the occupants while standing at the open front door of the apartment.

As the officer spoke with Tyler, Tyler allegedly pulled a firearm and shot at officer Steven Kotlewski 10 times, striking him eight times. At nearly the same time, additional officers with the Bensenville Police Department who had arrived at the

scene, heard gunshots and quickly responded, finding the injured officer crawling in a stairwell.

Officers rendered aid including applying tourniquets to the injured officer who was bleeding heavily. An officer then transported the injured officer to an ambulance.

Kotlewski underwent emergency surgery at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood as his injuries are extensive. Another officer then went to Tyler’s apartment, and

after several minutes, Tyler surrendered to the officer.

Following a sweep of the apartment conducted by the DuPage County Metropolitan Enforcement Response and Investigation Team, officers found a 9 mm pistol laying on the kitchen counter and numerous spent rounds of ammunition.

Ribbon-cutting ceremony held for Tacos Puebla On Friday, Oct. 29, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for Tacos Puebla located at 410 E Green Street in Bensenville. This is the business’ second location; the original restaurant opened in Addison approximately five years ago. The newly-renovated space can accommodate both dine-in and takeout options and their menu offers tacos, fajitas, burritos, and much more.

Village President Frank DeSimone and Tacos Puebla Owners Olivia Acuahuitl and Lauro Cuazitl cut the ceremonial red ribbon together as they celebrated the official opening. They were joined by family and friends, representatives of the Bensenville Chamber of Commerce, Village of Bensenville staff, and Tacos Puebla staff. During the ceremony, guests had the opportunity to tour the newly renovated space and taste a variety of menu items while also being entertained by a live mariachi band.

“We love seeing businesses like Tacos Puebla select Bensenville as the place to expand their business,” said DeSimone.

“We wish Olivia and Lauro the best of luck as they join our Bensenville business community.”

State Farm Bloomington, IL 2001875 402613

By State Sen. Steve Stadelman Democracy dies in darkness. Those words underscore the masthead of the Washington Post every day.

Sadly, the light journalism brings to many communities in Illinois and across the country is dimming. In the past 15 years or so, more than 2,000 newspapers around the country have closed, especially in rural areas.

That means no reporters covering local city council or school board meetings. If people don’t get the information they need to know what’s going on in their town, they can’t make educated decisions when they vote or hold their public officials accountable.

Journalists play an important watchdog role in our system. As a television news anchor and reporter in Rockford for nearly 25 years and a state senator for eight years, I’ve seen journalism from both sides. You could say a new Illinois law, which establishes the Local Journalism Task Force, is the result of my two careers intersecting.

The legislation I introduced and passed this year calls on the task force to assess the state of local journalism and issue public policy recommendations.

I think there needs to be a serious, open and frank discussion on the future of local news and how its future will affect government. As people rely less on traditional news organizations, we’ve seen a rise in media outlets that push a political

agenda.

Social media, meanwhile, is far too often the source of false and even dangerous information.

Professional news organizations are able to counteract that, helping readers and viewers know the difference.

Dwindling access to local news isn’t just a rural issue as many corporate owners of bigger-city newspapers cut staff and close bureaus to save money. While a large city still has many media outlets, we know that in our increasingly diverse society, some voices are not being heard.

There’s also an economic argument to be made. Newspapers have historically connected local businesses with readers. Without that connection, the local economy and businesses are hurt.

Members of the Local Journalism Task Force include news organizations that represent working journalists, academic institutions that teach journalism or have conducted studies and research into the issue along with state lawmakers and governor’s staff.

Potential solutions considered in other states include creating a fund to bring news and information to underserved communities, providing tax incentives to persuade media outlets to close local news gaps and more money for public broadcasting.

Or there may be no role for state government as the private sector develops new business models.

Nonprofit news websites buoyed by philanthropic foundations have sprung up around the country. So too have partnerships with nonprofit

“

When that tissue disintegrates, something vital rots away.

As local news crumbles, so does our tether to one another.” groups that allow traditional news organizations to dig deeper and undertake investigations.

A recent article in the Atlantic points out that equal to its watchdog role is the value of local news in establishing a community’s sense of self through stories on church picnics, restaurant openings and closings, school football games and fights to save a historic building or raise money for a cancer victim: “When that tissue disintegrates, something vital rots away. As local news crumbles, so does our tether to one another.”

People want to know what’s going on in the towns and neighborhoods where they live, work and raise families. Their access to news and local information shouldn’t depend on their ZIP code.

Mazzochi invites first generation students and parents to info session State Rep.

It warmed my heart to see so many people lining up to donate blood during our Student Council Fall Blood Drive on Thursday, Nov. 4.

Gianna is a Fenton student who was nervous about giving blood on Thursday but she knew it was for a good cause and found a way to push past the fear.

She had never given blood before and her mind was racing while she waited for the technicians to get ready.

Blood drives are important to me because 22 years ago my daughter received a blood transfusion that saved her life. She was in kindergarten when we noticed the symptoms.

After many stressful doctor visits, we learned that she had Kawasaki disease, which causes inflammation of blood vessels throughout the body. I will spare you the ugly details, but simply put, we needed to extract certain proteins from a batch of healthy blood in order to correct the problem.

Luckily, someone out there donated blood. For all we know, it could

have been a nervous high school student just like Gianna.

We are fortunate to have awesome teachers like Mrs. Julia Bray, a strong Student Council full of dedicated students at her side, and wonderful heroes like Gianna who overcome their fears to donate blood.

Thank you to everyone involved with Thursday’s blood drive.

Members of Fenton’s Student Council were incredible at assisting visitors who signed up for the Fall Blood Drive. Versiti Blood Center reportedly collected 55 units of blood from 75 people who volunteered to donate. The units include whole blood, double red, and plasma.

Mrs. Bray said her team of student volunteers set a goal of collecting 43 units of blood and they shattered that goal. She is extremely proud of the group’s outreach efforts in the prior weeks and their professionalism during the event.

DuPage County Health Department to prioritize pediatric COVID-19 vaccination

Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) endorsed the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice’s (ACIP) recommendation for the use the of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children 5 through 11 years of age.

This follows the FDA’s authorization Oct. 29 of the emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 in children 5 through 11 years of age.

The authorization was based on the FDA’s thorough and transparent evaluation of the data that included input from independent advisory committee experts who overwhelmingly voted in favor of making the vaccine available to children in this age group.

The DuPage County Health Department (DCHD) expects the pediatric COVID-19 vaccine to be available through a robust provider network in many locations throughout DuPage County. DCHD has been working with healthcare providers, schools, and other organizations to ensure a broad network of access for children to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

The DCHD also partnered with the Illinois Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Illinois Academy of Family Physicians to encourage all pediatricians and family medicine providers in DuPage to become COVID-19 vaccine providers and to ensure the availability of COVID-19 vaccine for their patients.

“We have been planning for the availability of the vaccine for younger children for months,” said DCHD Executive Director Karen Ayala.

“Protecting our children from severe outcomes associated with COVID-19 infection and reducing community transmission of COVID-19 are important steps in addressing the serious impacts this pandemic has had on our community.”

Oversight Committee hearing with oil executives on climate change

By U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi Recently, I participated in an Oversight Committee hearing with Michael Wirth, CEO of Chevron, on the issue of carbon emissions and climate change.

Since 1880, average global temperatures have increased by 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit, or 1.2 degrees Celsius. This is a real climate crisis because at a 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit change, or 15.8 degrees Celsius, we could possibly see summer sea ice disappearing in the Arctic.

During this hearing, Mr. Wirth falsely told me that his compensation as CEO was linked to reducing total carbon emissions. However, documents filed by Chevron with the Securities and Exchange Commission show that Mr. Wirth’s compensation—which totaled $29 million in 2020—has a component of reducing “carbon intensity,” the amount of carbon generated per unit of energy used, rather than total emissions. That means that Mr. Wirth could receive more compensation in any given year even if the company emitted dramatically more carbon pollution into the atmosphere.

To make genuine progress, we need transparency into the incentives that oil companies provide their executives to reduce pollution by their company. This is crucial for tackling the climate crisis.

My letter to President Biden on removing USPS leadership Last week, I sent a letter to President Biden requesting that he not reappoint the USPS Board of Governors Chairman, Ron Bloom, to ensure that the Board of Governors is able to appropriately review the job performance of Postmaster General DeJoy. Mr. Bloom’s term with the USPS Board of Governors expires in December, and President Biden has the power to appoint a new board member.

This is important because Mr. Bloom has unconditionally supported Postmaster General DeJoy, whose tenure has been riddled with financial conflicts of interest while his “Delivering for America” plan has significantly cut USPS service standards and increased prices.

My constituents have expressed serious concerns about their delayed mail and packages. Given Mr. Bloom’s commitment to

this unacceptable status quo and to Postmaster General DeJoy, I informed President Biden that a change of leadership in the USPS Board of Governors is necessary to ensure the longevity and success of the USPS. The Build Back Better Act Congress is still negotiating the final text for the Build Back Better Act (H.R. 5376). I am proud that the current draft contains provisions that I fought to be included to strengthen our workforce, our economy, and end the pandemic.

The current draft includes nearly $35 billion over the next 10 years for workforce development programs, which includes funding for existing workforce development programs, for industry and sector partnership grants, and for addressing climate change. The package also includes comprehensive high-skilled immigration reform, which I fought for to simplify the system, make it fairer, and reduce the green card backlog.

Lastly, the package includes $1.3 billion to support global and domestic vaccine production, including through the construction of new manufacturing facilities or the expansion of existing facilities. While the scale of the pandemic will demand even more action, this additional vaccine funding will be a step forward in preventing the emergence of new variants that could sabotage our progress.

First-year students applying to any of Illinois’ public universities will now only need to submit one form on Common App, and State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton (D-Western Springs) applauded the step to increase accessibility to higher education opportunities.

“Applying to college can be tedious and expensive,” Glowiak Hilton said. “By using Common App, Illinois is simplifying the process and working to ensure individuals have access to higher education opportunities.”

This fall, all 12 public universities in Illinois will be available on the Common App platform, thanks to a $1 million state investment.

For families concerned about the cost of submitting college applications, waivers are

available for low-income students. In addition, some colleges and universities either have no application fees or will waive fees if needed.

“Many applicants and their families are hesitant to start the college journey because of the associated costs,” Glowiak Hilton said. “Luckily, there are several aid options available to help reduce the financial burdens associated with applying for college.”

Residents are encouraged to visit the Common App web site for informational resources, including a first-year application guide, videos and a complete list of institutions that use the application.

(Editor’s note; This was received from the office of State Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton.)

DuPage Care Center seeks holiday donations for residents The DuPage Care Center is inviting the community to help make the holidays brighter for residents of the Care Center through the Adopt-A-Resident program. The Adopt-A-Resident program allows members of the community to provide much-needed items for residents during the holiday season.

When a community member adopts a resident, he or she will receive information about the resident, including gender, age, and up to five items they would like. Gift requests average about $50 in value, and include items such as personal care products, gifts cards, and clothes.

Items can be brought – unwrapped – to the DuPage Care Center by Dec. 6. Gifts will be

wrapped and distributed to the residents during holiday parties throughout the month of December.

“COVID-19 restrictions mean we may not be able to celebrate the holidays as we’d like to.

But thanks to the support and generosity from our community, we hope to bring the magic of the holidays to Care Center residents,” said Health and Human Services Committee Chairwoman Julie Renehan.

Anyone interested in adopting a resident should contact Elizabeth Walker at (630) 7844260 or elizabeth.walker@dupageco.org. The DuPage Care Center is grateful for the generous support of the community, which makes holiday dreams a reality for the residents.

Willowbrook’s volleyball team ends season

CHRIS FOX PHOTOS Rock Valley Publishing

Willowbrook’s girls volleyball team finished a memorable season with a loss to Mother McAuley in Friday’s IHSA Class 4A super-sectional match in Chicago. Mother McAuley, which won the contest on its home court, advanced to this week’s state semifinals in Normal.

The Warriors completed their season with a record of 37-2. Prior to this season, the Willowbrook program had never won a regional championship. This season’s team won a regional title, as well as a sectional title. After posting two post-season wins on its own court to win a regional plaque, Willowbrook advanced to the Bartlett Sectional. The Warriors beat Downers Grove North in three games in a Nov. 1 sectional semifinal. Two days later, Willowbrook defeated Wheaton Warrenville South in the sectional final. One photo from the third game of the sectional final shows senior Kyla Ostrowski (below - No. 13) celebrating with her teammates after the Warriors won a critical point.

Hassler will swim at IHSA state meet

Willowbrook senior Ellie Hassler of Villa Park will compete in the upcoming IHSA girls state swimming and diving meet at FMC Natatorium in Westmont. Hassler qualified for the state meet with her performances at Saturday’s Downers Grove South Sectional.

Hassler, who is a member of the Willowbrook/Addison Trail co-op team, competed in the AWD (athletes with disabilities) division at the sectional. She earned state-meet berths in three individual events—the 50-yard freestyle, the 100-yard freestyle and the 100-yard breaststroke.

Hassler finished the sectional’s 50-yard freestyle in 40.19 seconds. She posted a finishing time of 1 minute, 33.06 seconds in the 100-yard freestyle at the sectional. She completed Saturday’s 100-yard breaststroke race in 2 minutes, 17.66 seconds.

Pritzker gets COVID-19 vaccine booster ahead of international trip Governor: Child vaccine requirement would have to come from lawmakers

By Jerry Nowicki

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Gov. JB Pritzker became one of the 800,000-plus Illinoisans who have received a COVID-19 vaccine booster shot Nov. 2, ahead of his first overseas trip as governor.

Pritzker and his top staff planned to depart to London Nov. 2 to meet with business leaders on economic development opportunities in Illinois before heading to Glasgow, Scotland, on Nov. 5 for the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties. House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch, D-Hillside, and Senate President Don Harmon, D-Oak Park, planned to join the Illinois group for the London leg of the trip.

Pritzker received a booster dose of the vaccine manufactured by Pfizer and BioNTech after receiving the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine in March. He noted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently authorized “mixing and matching” vaccines.

He also said he was not worried about potential side effects, which usually last about a day and include fatigue or pain at the injection site, as he prepared to depart to London.

Pritzker and Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike also took questions about whether the state would require

vaccination for children to attend school.

Federal health officials gave final approval to using the the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children ages 5-11. That approval took place last week.

Ezike said any decision on mandates wouldn’t be considered until full approval is granted.

“So, I think it’s premature to think about requiring those for school,” she said. “We probably would want it to have the standard authorization, …such as what we have for Pfizer for individuals who are 18 and over.”

Ezike said while no vaccine requirement is currently being considered, “that probably could change much further down the line.”

Pritzker said any mandate would have to go through the state’s General Assembly.

“Here in Illinois, that requirement is something that would go through the legislature as others have,” he said. “We require lots of vaccinations, as you know, when kids go to school already, to make sure that kids don’t get polio, to make sure they don’t get measles and mumps and rubella and so on.

“And so this, if there was an approval of that—and I haven’t seen that on the horizon yet – but if there were an approval of that, then that

would just be another one of those vaccinations that kids get.”

Pritzker and Ezike urged all eligible Illinoisans to receive the booster shot.

Eligible populations for the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine are those 65 years of age and older, and those 18 and older who live in long-term care settings or work or live in high-risk settings and had their last dose at least six months ago.

Those who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine are eligible if they are 18 years of age or older and have received the first dose at least two months ago.

Pritzker said with approval imminent, parents of children ages 5 to 11 who wish their children to be vaccinated should call their pediatricians to schedule a shot or reach out to schools to request a vaccine clinic be hosted there. Vaccines remain free, he said.

The COVID-19 test positivity rate sat at 2 percent as of Nov. 2, and hospitalizations were flattening, putting Illinois well ahead of where it was in the pandemic one year ago.

But greater vaccination will help halt a greater winter spread, the governor said.

Approximately 70 percent of the state’s population aged 12 and over are fully vaccinated for COVID-19,

sign. That’s not what’s happened in previous dips from surges. We went down for a while here, but now we’ve leveled out at a level that is much higher than the summer. And so, the question is, is that just a temporary situation?”

In the summer the positivity rate dipped to 0.6 percent and the number of hospital beds in use by COVID-19 patients briefly dipped below 400, with intensive care unit beds in use in one day falling as low as 76.

Ezike said unvaccinated individuals between the ages of 30 and 49 are 18 times more likely to die of COVID-19 than people of that same age who are vaccinated.

Pritzker said his administration watches hospitalization and positivity rate numbers daily when considering what to do with masking requirements.

“New hospitalizations are flat,” Pritzker said. “That is not a good
