Surry Hills restaurateur allegedly caught selling drugs to undercover cop
Surry Hills restaurateur Janto Wolf Kuban has been charged with supplying MDMA and cocaine to an undercover police officer. Detectives say that the eastern suburbs man's first foray into drug supply was at Kensington on February 10, when he allegedly supplied 373.6g of MDMA from his rented two-bedroom apartment. Court documents obtained by the Herald show that 15 days later, he allegedly upped his game to supplying more than a kilogram of the same drug. In the early days of March, Kuban, 40, is accused of going on to supply 997g of MDMA on one occasion, then four kilograms on March 19. It was on that day that investigators from the State Crime Command's Strike Force Mavor arrested Kuban, who is now facing five drug supply offences and remains bail refused before the courts. Police also picked up 38-year-old Matthew Marreiros in Hurstville that day, charging him with a raft of drug supply offences, dealing with the proceeds of crime and failing to comply with a digital evidence access order. Raids that day in a storage unit in Kensington and at an address in Hurstville saw officers seize 3.8kg of cocaine, 22kg of cannabis, 580 grams of MDMA, vapes, electronics and a total of more than $40,000 in cash. Both men remain in prison on remand. 'Strike Force Mavor was established by State Crime Command's Organised Crime Squad to investigate the supply of large commercial quantities of prohibited drugs in New South Wales,' NSW Police said in a statement.

Planting trees for the next generation on Earth Day
PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — On this Earth Day, the Peoria Park District is digging in to make a difference with its annual community tree planting. Staff and volunteers planted three oak trees at Donovan Park Arboretum, expanding its diverse collection of native and non-native trees. 'We have a Shumard oak, a Scarlet Letter oak, which is a hybrid between our native white oak and the English oak, and then we have Chinkapin oak,' explained Jacob Kuban, supervisor of park horticulture and recreation maintenance at Peoria Park District. Each oak tree planted on Tuesday was selected with intention for its benefits. 'If you were to plant one tree that is the one tree that supports the most wildlife in our area,' said Kuban. 'Planting trees, especially in urban areas, can help lower electricity costs. It can provide space for everyone to enjoy and explore. And really, the community just really benefits from trees in many ways.' Kuban said he hopes people are inspired to plant their own trees at home after visiting the Arboretum. 'Even if just watching it kind of introduces the idea of stewardship and preservation for everyone. And everyone can have their hand in their part in doing that,' he said.
