Bond set for woman accused of stealing from Bensenville employer

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin announced last week that bond had been set for a former employee of a Bensenville automobile business accused of stealing more than $175,000 from the now-defunct business. Rungnapa Correia, 48, Schaumburg, appeared at a bond hearing where Judge Brian Telander set bond at $25,000 with 10% to apply.

The State had argued for a bond of $250,000 in accordance with a May 28, 2019, $250,000 arrest warrant was issued for Correia.

Correia was employed as an accountant for Yukikiaze Auto in Bensenville from 2002 until the business closed in 2017. As part of her duties, Correia was responsible for the business’s payroll. It is alleged that between October 2010 and June 2017, Correia wrote unauthorized checks to herself and deposited checks that were made out to “Cash” into her own personal account.

The alleged incidents were uncovered by the victim after completing an audit following the closing of the business.

After uncovering the alleged thefts, the business contacted the Bensenville Police Department.

“It is alleged that Ms. Correia took advantage of the trust placed in her by Yukikiaze Auto to line her own pockets with more than $175,000 of the business’s money,” Berlin said. “Fortunately,

‘Town Hall Tuesdays’ with Sen. Glowiak State Sen. Suzy Glowiak (D-Western Springs) is inviting local residents to a series of Town Hall Tuesdays to talk major new laws after a historic legislative session in Springfield.

“I strive to ensure the citizens of the 24th Senate District’s voices are heard,” Glowiak said. “To help me better represent residents, it is imperative that we have respectful and in-

formative conversations. Town Hall Tuesdays are a great opportunity to connect and have a meaningful discussion on policies that concern us all.”

Town Hall Tuesday meetings will be held on June 18 at the Lombard Village Hall (255 E. Wilson Ave., Lombard), July 2 at the Glen Ellyn Civic Center (535 Duane St., Glen Ellyn) and July 9 at the Hinsdale Library (20

E. Maple St., Hinsdale) from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Glowiak recently completed her first legislative session in Springfield.

The freshman Senator prioritized bipartisan legislation that protected the privacy of assault survivors, educated workers to help end human trafficking and fought youth homelessness in Illinois.

Glowiak worked across party lines and also split from her democratic colleagues to vote against tax increases and push for fiscal responsibility in state government.

“We have had a busy session in Springfield,” Glowiak said. “There were trying issues and lively debates.

Throughout the process, my priority has remained placing the people of

the 24th State Senate District before politics.”

Glowiak looks forward to presenting a legislative update on Town Hall Tuesdays and urges residents to visit www.SenatorSuzyGlowiak.com to stay up to date on events her office is hosting this summer.

(Editor’s note: This was submitted by the office State Sen. Suzy Glowiak.)

emotional,” said a teary-eyed Link during floor discussion of the bill.

Link estimated that gambling expansion along with other revenue-raising measures in the bill could net Illinois more than $12 billion in the next six years.

“This key piece of legislation really is going to make an economic difference of keeping our dollars home,” he said, adding he expects “thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in construction across the state.”

That construction would go toward the six new casinos authorized by the

bill in Waukegan, Rockford, Danville, the south suburbs, Williamson County and downtown Chicago.

Casinos, race tracks and sports facilities that seat more than 17,000 people—such as Wrigley Field or United Center—would also be eligible to buy sports betting licenses under the bill, making Illinois one of about a dozen states to legalize the practice after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year allowed it.

In a news release June 1, Pritzker expressed his support for the measure and praised the lawmakers who have un-

successfully tried to expand gambling in the state for years.

“Legalized sports betting and expanding gaming will create jobs up and down the state, …where communities hungry for employment will see 10,000 new jobs,” he said. “Gaming expansions in this state have been attempted and failed for years. … Today is a win for the whole state.”

Revenues raised from the new casinos, the selling of sports betting licenses, and a higher tax on video gambling machines would go toward funding the vertical components of a long-term

capital infrastructure plan, such as state building renovations.

Sports betting licenses would range from $3.2 million to $20 million and be offered to both brick-and-mortar facilities and to online operators, with taxes of 15 percent.

Under the bill, race tracks in the state would be able to install slot machines and table games, turning them into racinos. A pilot program will also assess sports betting through the Illinois Lottery, a plan that was considered but dropped by lawmakers earlier in the session.

cultivators, processors, transporters and sellers. It also allows Illinois residents over age 21 to possess up to 30 grams, or roughly one ounce, of marijuana for personal use, and it allows people certified to use marijuana for medical purposes to grow up to five plants in their own homes.

Sales and possession would become legal under state law on Jan. 1, 2020, although marijuana is still illegal under federal law.

The bill also sets out a schedule of licensing fees and excise taxes that Rep. Kelly Cassidy, D-Chicago, said is expected to generate $58 million in the upcoming fiscal year, and as much as $500 million a year when the industry is fully mature.

“This is the beginning of the end of the war on drugs,” Cassidy said on the House floor just before the final vote.

Indeed, many supporters of legalization said their primary goal was to correct the inequities and social harms they say the war on drugs has had on black and Latino communities, who they argued have been disproportionately targeted for enforcement and incarceration for drug violations.

The bill would provide a mechanism under which hundreds of thousands of Illinois residents could have

criminal records for minor marijuana-related offenses expunged.

It also would direct a significant share of the revenues generated into community reinvestment programs for communities that have been disproportionately impacted by drug enforcement policies.

“We have been able to craft a policy that reinvests money in communities that have been divested in for the last 80 years,” said Rep. Jenhan Gordon-Booth, D-Peoria.

The bill also does nothing to change the state’s medical marijuana program. In fact, people who hold li-

censes to operate medical marijuana dispensaries will have the first opportunity to obtain a second license for a recreational dispensary so retail sales can begin Jan 1.

Chris Stone, CEO of Ascend Wellness/HCI Alternatives, which operates medical dispensaries in Springfield and Collinsville, issued a statement after the vote saying that company would continue operating those outlets, adding: “We are excited for the future and look forward to serving even more people in the years to come.”

Critics of the bill, however, warned

about the public health and criminal justice effects that they said legalization would have.

Rep. Patrick Windhorst, R-Metropolis, cited a number of scientific studies that showed a correlation between marijuana use and violent behavior, including studies that showed an increase in violent crime in states that have recently legalized marijuana.

And Rep. Anthony DeLuca, D-Chicago Heights, re-enacted a 1980s-era anti-drug advertisement by holding up an egg, saying, “This is your brain,” then breaking it into a frying pay and saying, “This is your brain on drugs.”

Illinois to legalize sports gambling, add casinos CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Six new casinos, along with legalized sports betting, are coming to Illinois after Senate lawmakers approved a massive gambling expansion bill Sunday.

Senate Bill 690, sponsored by Indian Creek Democratic Sen. Terry Link, passed that chamber on a 46-10 vote after being approved by House lawmakers the day before. Gov. J.B. Pritzker has already announced his intention to sign it into law.

“I’ve only been doing this for 20 years to get this done, and it’s a little

Illinois House sends marijuana legalization to Gov. Pritzker CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

The Illinois House on May 31 passed a bill legalizing adult recreational marijuana in the state.

The 66-to-47 vote sends House Bill 1438 to Gov. J.B. Pritzker who campaigned in 2018 on a platform that included legalizing marijuana. The Senate approved the bill on May 29, 38-17.

That vote, however, came after a marathon debate that lasted nearly four hours, leaving lawmakers with less than 10 hours to complete the rest of their business for the session. That forced leaders to announce the House would continue meeting Saturday and Sunday.

With passage of the marijuana bill, Illinois is poised to become the 11th state in the nation to legalize its use by adults for recreational purposes.

But it would be the first to do so by a comprehensive statute enacted by the legislature rather than through a ballot initiative.

Vermont legalized marijuana through legislation in 2018, but that law covered only personal use and cultivation. It did not include retail sales.

The Illinois bill would provide for licensing and regulation of marijuana

Perhaps the most common motivation leading patients to seek orthodontic treatment is to achieve a more attractive smile tooth T. straightening. by with Jeffrey BolandYet, there are reasons to consult with an Licensed Orthodontic Specialist orthodontist that go beyond the cosmetic.

In some cases, parents may notice that their children have speech impediments that a speech pathologist has determined to be caused by a malocclusion. If the teeth, lips, and/or tongue are out of place, it may be more difficult to create sounds. In order to properly articulate consonants, tooth structure needs to be intact. Because malocclusion is caused by imprecise tooth placement, it can affect speech, leading to lisps (difficulty pronouncing “s” or “z” sounds).

Fortunately, orthodontic treatment can help achieve proper speech.

If you are undergoing orthodontic treatment, you may notice that your “typical” way of speaking undergoes a shift. This is normal while your tongue and other facial structures responsible for speaking acclimate to the new additions in your mouth. Get high-quality orthodontic care at Boland Orthodontics from a doctor with over 20 years of experience. To schedule a consultation, please call our office. Available by appointment, we honor all kinds of insurance.

Straighter Smiles Are Our Specialty!

P.S. People with malocclusions sometimes have difficulty pronouncing the “strident sounds” produced by the friction of a fast airflow being pressed against a speaker’s teeth, creating an emphasis on a letter (s, z, f, v, sh, ch, j, and zh—as in “beige”).

Tanee Traimas, 28, of Addison, was charged with DUI subsequent to a hit and run accident in the 800 block of N. Lincoln at around 11:52 a.m.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a new, $40.1 billion state budget bill into law June 5, along with bills to fund a long-range capital improvements plan and a bill that would establish a new, multi-bracket income tax structure in Illinois, provided voters approve a constitutional amendment allowing it in the 2020 elections.

He also signed a bill that would establish a system of graduated income tax rates to take effect in 2021, provided that Illinois voters approve a constitutional amendment in November 2020 to allow such a tax system.

The budget bill, Senate Bill 262, adds about $1.14 billion in new spending during the fiscal year that begins July 1.

It passed the General Assembly over the weekend with broad bipartisan support, but it came about only after weeks of contentious negotiations between legislative Democrats and Republicans.

“Just a few years ago, simply passing a budget was considered nearly impossible. And for years before that, the budget included gimmicks and tricks, and was balanced in name only,” Pritzker said during a bill-signing ceremony at the Thompson Center in Chicago.

“Those days are over. That this budget is balanced and bipartisan demonstrates just how far we have come.”

Some of the highlights of the bud-

get, according to the governor’s office, include an $80 million increase in funding for the troubled Department of Children and Family Services to hire additional staff and to increase reimbursement rates paid to social service providers who work on contract with the agency.

It also includes $107 million in additional funding for the Department of Human Services to increase reimbursement rates for people and agencies that provide home and community-based services for the elderly and disabled.

K-12 and higher education will also see funding increases next year, with more than $378 million in new funding going to public schools and another $66.7 million in additional base funding for public universities and community colleges.

The budget plan also includes a full payment into the state’s pension systems. And it adds $410 million to the current fiscal year’s budget to cover costs associated with unpaid union contract obligations dating back to fiscal year 2016.

That new spending was made possible by passage of a revenue bill, Senate Bill 689, that levies a new tax on the private insurance companies that administer the state’s Medicaid program.

Money from that assessment will be used to draw down additional federal matching funds, thus freeing up about $530 million in state general revenues to be used for other purposes.

Addison Trail shines at COD accounting contest On April 26, Addison Trail students attended a College of DuPage (COD) Accounting Contest.

Participants competed individually and for a team and were placed in the level that corresponded with their current accounting knowledge (Accounting 1, Accounting II or College Accounting). Students also heard from COD Interim President Brian W. Caputo, a student in the accounting program at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and two college accounting professors (from Northern Illinois University and University of Wisconsin–Madison).

Below are the Addison Trail pupils who participated.

Students on the Accounting 1 Team include junior Alex Conrad*, sophomore Easton Dietz, junior Johan Lora*, senior Jazmin Espinoza, senior Molly Drogosz*, sophomore Daniel Medina and junior James Zatos.

Bonilla serves as graduation speaker

On May 19, Addison Trail senior Gabriella Bonilla addressed more than 480 of her classmates as the student graduation speaker during Addison Trail’s 53rd commencement ceremony.

Bonilla entered the school’s annual graduation-speech competition and was selected as this year’s winner by a panel of judges. Her speech, entitled “To the Ones That Blazed,” focused on the experiences members of the class of 2019 have had during their high school career and what they should expect and strive for in the future.

“Addison Trail has helped us grow as people, as a school and as a class,” Bonilla said before the ceremony. “I hope my speech inspires my classmates to reflect on how much they’ve accomplished and realize there’s still a lot out there to experience.”

Bonilla said she has wanted to enter the competition since her fresh-

man year, but she nearly missed the deadline.

She realized the deadline the day the speech was due and forced herself to sit down and focus on writing the best speech she could for her peers.

Bonilla said she’s thrilled to be the voice of the class of 2019 and represent the various groups of her classmates. During her time at Addison Trail, Bonilla has served as Editor in Chief of Torch (Addison Trail’s student newspaper) and has been a member of Color Guard, Choir, Interact Club and Girls Tennis. She also earned a Judge’s Choice award during Elmhurst College’s Annual High School Art Exhibition this year.

Bonilla plans to attend Roosevelt University, where she looks to major in education and minor in marketing.

“The biggest lesson I’ve learned from Addison Trail is to try everything,” Bonilla said.

Those students are: • 2019 Outstanding Senior in Social Studies: Noe Alvarez Jr. • Daughters of the American Revolution award: Senior Melissa Bouharati.

Addison Trail boys volleyball team announces postseason honors

Seven Blazers make conference allacademic team

By Mike Miazga

CORRESPONDENT

The Addison Trail boys volleyball team got it done in the classroom as well as on the court this season.

The Blazers had seven players make the all-West Suburban Conference Gold Division academic team. That list included J.T. Daniels, Michael Tulke, Joe Mosny, Justin Werderitch, Gianfranco Patano, Rob Ruffolo and Nico Nasti.

Werderitch and Mosny were named to the all-WSC Gold team for

their play on the court. Mosny earned the team’s MVP honor and also made a local media all-area team. Daniels was the recipient of the team’s most improved award.

Addison Trail finished the season 12-25 overall and finished second in the WSC Gold Division with a 3-3 record. The Blazers opened the playoffs with a 21-25, 25-20, 25-14 win against Fenton in the regional quarterfinals and then lost to Bartlett 1825, 25-14, 25-16 in the semifinals.

Mosny led the team in kills with 250 and blocks with 67. Nasti recorded a team-high 633 assists, while Enzo Ciaccia had 134 digs to lead the Blazers. Michal Zdanowicz had a team-best 21 aces.

Coach Chad Grant felt his squad competed hard despite some adversity throughout the season. “I was impressed with our ability to remain competitive despite inexperience and injuries,” he said. “We gave ourselves a chance in almost all our matches.”

Grant said the Blazers took a major step forward on the offensive end as the season wore on. “We made a lot of strides on offense,” he said. “At the beginning of the year, we were a two-player offense. Late in the year we could spread the ball around a lot more.”

Daniels earned the most improved award in this first season on the team. “J.T. Daniels was in his first

“He was smart and disciplined as a blocker and was the heart and soul of our team.”

Grant also gave high marks to Giany Patano in the team’s two playoff games. “Giany also came up huge for us with his blocking in both playoff games,” the coach said. “He came a long way this year.”

Daniels said the team’s younger players gained key experience this – Coach Chad Grant season. “We have a very good group of younger players returning, but they are small,” he said. “Kills will We will have to play good defense be hard to come by, but we will be because we will only have one big able to control the ball very well. blocker.”

Girl Scout exhibit opens From June 19 through June 29, the Addison Center for the Arts presents Courageous & Strong: Girl Scouts’ Budding Artists. The public is invited on Friday, June 21 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. to celebrate the creativity of the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana.

“Courageous & Strong: Girl Scouts’ Budding Artists” is an art exhibit featuring the art projects of many troops from the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana. The ages of the artists range from girls that are Daisies in Kindergarten and 1st grade, Brownies who are in 2nd and 3rd grades, and Juniors who are in 4th and 5th grades.

The girls worked on projects throughout the year either in school or during Scout meetings/ gatherings and have a wide range of art pieces from painted rocks, to sculptures, sketches, paintings, and more. As members of Service Unit 537, the girls do so many things to give back to their communities all year long such as volunteer at

PADS, raise money and food for food pantries, create awareness for disabilities, make blankets for kids in pediatric hospitals, collect things to recycle and reuse, and much more to try and make this world a better place. This exhibit was organized to do something for the girls. This show is meant to celebrate just one of their many talents and is something they really enjoy.

Addison Uncorked! coming June 25 On June 25, from 6 to 9 p.m. join the Addison Center for the Arts and other community groups for Addison Uncorked!
