Rockford Public Library (RPL) Grand Opening of New Replacement Main set for June 22, 2024: It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the public Grand Opening of the long awaited Replacement Main Library on Saturday, June 22, 2024 at 9AM. The state-of-the-art, newly built Main Library rests proudly at 215 N. Wyman Street on the very lot that housed the Main Library since it opened in 1902. Join us for special festivities planned throughout Opening Day beginning with a ribbon cutting at 9AM and culminating with the presentation of a community poem, at 4:30PM, delivered by City of Rockford Poet Laureate, Jenna Goldsmith.

The original Main Library building was razed in order to eradicate environmentally compromised soil beneath it. Once the integrity of the land was re-established, the Rockford Public Library leadership worked with architects at Studio GWA and Engberg Anderson, along with Construction Managers Scandroli Construction Co., and more than 40 local subcontractors to build the beautiful, 66,000 sq ft new Main Library. The contemporary ‘New Main’ is mindfully designed for efficiency, outfitted with first rate technology, and capitalizes on its location along the West bank of the Rock River providing stunning new views of downtown Rockford. “We are beyond excited to announce the Grand Opening of RPL’s new Main Library,” says RPL’s Executive Director, Lynn Stainbrook. “This building will be an amazing hub from which we achieve Rockford Public Library’s mission to educate, inform, and enrich the people in our community.”

RPL’s Hart Interim Library will close its doors permanently on Saturday, June 8, 2024 at 4PM. The drive-up at that location will also close at that time. Customers can return borrowed materials to any of our branch locations or to the New Main at 215 N. Wyman Street.

Lawmakers move to pause –then further regulate – carbon dioxide pipeline development

By Andrew Adams Capitol News Illinois

aadams@capitolnewsillinois.com

SPRINGFIELD – After state regulators rebuffed several proposed carbon transport projects over the past year, lawmakers have moved to formally ban new projects until the federal government sets forth new safety rules.

The technology is used to take carbon dioxide – a powerful greenhouse gas – and move it through pipelines before storing it deep underground. While its proponents say it is key to addressing climate change, it is often criticized for the risks it brings with it, as a pipeline can burst, resulting in a flood of carbon dioxide for miles that can poison those caught in it.

The measure, part of a package regulating the developing technology, was the fruit of extended negotiations between lawmakers, environmentalists, business groups and the governor’s office among others.

Senate Bill 1289 passed the House 78-29 and the Senate 43-12, with two senators voting present. Gov. JB Pritzker said in a statement Sunday evening he plans to sign the bill into law.

The moratorium would expire on July 1, 2026, if the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration doesn’t finalize safety rules by then.

In addition, the bill has what proponents call some of the strongest carbon dioxide-related safety protections in the nation.

The bill requires monitoring of injection wells for at least 30 years after they close, a process that must be approved by the state and federal government. It also grants the Illinois Commerce Commission expanded authority to impose fees and require certain safety models to be used during permitting for carbon sequestration and transportation projects.

The fees would go into a group of newly created state funds that will help train first responders and provide equipment to manage potential emergency situations associated with carbon capture technology.

“No other state has this strong of a protection, long-term protections,” Sen. Laura Fine, D-Glenview, said during Senate debate of the bill.

Fine said in an interview after the bill

passed that “the most fascinating part” about the legislation was its support from environmental groups.

Environmentalists have long fought against carbon sequestration projects.

Juliana Pino, the policy director at the Little Village Environmental Justice Organization, said in a statement Sunday evening that these types of projects are “false solutions to the climate crisis and risk exacerbating the already disproportionate pollution burdens on our communities.”

But several environmental groups eventually supported the bill because the technology already exists and is in use in Illinois and more sequestration projects are likely to be proposed. They say the bill is a first in securing environmental and safety protections for these potential projects.

Pino and representatives of other groups, such as the Coalition to Stop CO2 Pipelines, the legal advocacy group Earthjustice and the Illinois Environmental Council, all applauded aspects of the bill, such as its safety requirements and language ensuring the projects do not increase pollution.

Other groups remained opposed after various levels of participation in negotiations over the past two years. Notably, the Illinois Farm Bureau, an interest group representing farmers and other large landowners, and the Illinois Soybean Association opposed the final bill, largely because of how it handles eminent domain.

Under the proposal, the state’s Department of Natural Resources can issue a binding order on “nonconsenting” landowners to force them to let carbon sequestration companies use their land –specifically, the “pore space” thousands of feet underground – to store carbon dioxide.

Companies would be required to give “just compensation” in exchange, but the method in the bill to calculate “just compensation” drew bipartisan criticism.

Sen. Michael Halpin, D-Rock Island, said the provision is “contrary to what the (U.S.) Constitution requires.”

Fine said she expects to revisit that language during negotiations over possible follow-up legislation this summer.

“We want to make sure every property owner is properly compensated,” she said.

Other lawmakers criticized the bill for not going far enough to protect the

Mahomet Aquifer, which is the federally designated sole source of drinking water for much of central Illinois, including much of Champaign, Peoria and Rantoul.

In a December 2022 report commissioned by the General Assembly, the University of Illinois’ Prairie Research Institute noted “there is also the possibility that the carbonic acid could react with other minerals in rock formations in the aquifer and release other elements into the water.”

That report went on to suggest that sufficient testing and monitoring could mitigate some risk.

But the possibility of polluting the aquifer alarmed several lawmakers in both chambers, mostly those representing districts that draw water from the aquifer.

Sen. Chapin Rose, R-Mahomet, pointed to a 2016 methane leak from a natural gas injection well – a similar type of technology to carbon sequestration – that polluted drinking water in the Mahomet area.

“I don’t want to hear a damn thing about cleaning up the environment when these people can’t drink their water,” he said.

Fine said that while she initially pushed for specific protections for the aquifer, those were given up in exchange for industry groups’ support of more stringent monitoring requirements.

That monitoring – and remediation activities that would be paid for by companies – would result in limits to any potential adverse effects from a release of carbon dioxide.

“It would not be anything close to a catastrophic situation,” Rep. Ann Williams, D-Chicago, said during floor debate Saturday.

Rep. Carol Ammons, D-Urbana, represents an area that is served by the aquifer and voted in favor of the bill. She noted that she and other lawmakers would be watching the situation over the two years of the moratorium outlined in the bill “to see if there are additional protections that we need to make specifically for the Mahomet Aquifer.”

NEED CASH? NEEDCASH?

As pharmacies shutter, some Western states, Black and Latino communities are left behind

By Tom Murphy and Kasturi Pananjady Associated Press

Opening stores used to mean everything to pharmacy chains.

CVS Health once boasted of opening or buying more than 2,900 locations in a five-year period. Now it’s shuttering hundreds, while Walgreens, Rite Aid and independent drugstores also pull back.

An industry that saw waves of store growth before the COVID-19 pandemic faces headwinds like falling prescription reimbursement, persistent theft and changing shopping habits. But as drugstores right-size their physical footprint, experts say they can leave behind communities that have come to depend on them as trusted sources of care and advice — both of which can be hard to find in many urban and rural areas.

“That trust, you just can’t quantify it,” said Omolola Adepoju, a University of Houston health services researcher. “And I don’t think it gets spoken about enough when we talk about pharmacy closures.”

There’s a pattern to who has access to pharmacies, with gaps forming in urban and rural neighborhoods.

Residents of neighborhoods that are largely Black and Latino have fewer pharmacies per capita than people who live in mostly white neighborhoods, according to an Associated Press analysis of licensing data from 44 states, data from the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs and the American Community Survey. It’s consistent with prior research that documents where urban “pharmacy deserts” are more likely to be concentrated.

The AP also analyzed data from 49 states and found those with the fewest retail pharmacies per capita include Alaska, Oregon and New Mexico. About two-thirds of retail pharmacies in those states were owned by chains, while independent pharmacies tend to concentrate more in urban markets or states with bigger populations.

PHARMACY AS A CARE LOCATION

Drugstores have become bigger sources of care in recent years, sometimes by design or necessity — especially for customers who work multiple jobs and can’t easily get to a doctor. Many pharmacies, including the two largest chains, offer clinics and more than a dozen vaccines to treat patients. They’ve also encouraged pharmacists to counsel patients more on managing conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.

Prakash Patel at Bert’s Pharmacy in Elizabeth, New Jersey, said sometimes the pharmacy is a sick customer’s “first stop.”

“There is no easy access to a doctor’s office. You need an appointment. They have limited hours,” the store owner and pharmacist said. “So any time any child or adult — whoever is sick — where are they going to go first? To the pharmacy.”

In rural areas, drugstores often serve multiple roles for their communities, with pharmacists seeing regular customers more than a doctor does, said Megan Undeberg, a community pharmacy expert at Washington State University. That means they may be the first to notice signs of things like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease and suggest the patient seek help.

“You’re the smoking cessation counselor, you’re the suicide prevention counselor,” she said. “You know just about everything about everyone, but it’s confidential.”

A few weeks before the CVS in Herscher, Illinois, closed in early March, farmer Kip Harms picked up a muscle relaxer for a back injury. He asked the staff if he could take it with Tylenol.

Harms said he’ll have other options in the rural area that’s nearly 80 miles south of Chicago, but it won’t be the same.

“You can stand here and have a conversation,” said Harms, 56, from nearby Cullom. “You go to the big giant one where there’s 40 people in line, you feel like you’re inconveniencing the person that’s helping you.”

PACE OF DRUGSTORES CLOSING

The big drugstore chains still have thousands of locations, and the AP’s analysis counted more than 24,000 independent pharmacies. But drugstores routinely close because they aren’t doing well or the population has dropped — and the pace of closures is picking up.

CVS said in 2021 that it planned to close 900 stores over three years; more than 600 already have shuttered. Rite Aid is expected to close hundreds as it works through a bankruptcy reorganization.

Across the U.S., more than 7,000 pharmacies have closed since 2019, according to data from University of Pittsburgh researcher Lucas Berenbrok, who considers that estimate conservative. Of those pharmacies, 54% were independent drugstores, an AP analysis of Berenbrok’s data found.

“I think what (drugstores) have realized in the past couple years is that they are a little thinly spread out,” said Keonhee Kim, an analyst at the research

firm Morningstar.

Blame the closings on problems like sliding revenue and rising expenses. For years, the reimbursement that drugstores receive for filling most prescriptions has shrunk while things like utilities and employee pay continue to climb.

Theft also is a problem, and Walgreens has cited it as one of the many reasons it closes stores. Drugstores often carry small, pricey items like beauty supplies, batteries and baby formula that are easy to steal and resell, said Burt Flickinger III, managing director of the retail consulting firm Strategic Resource Group.

It can take new pharmacy locations as many as three years to build a customer base and break even, said Jeff Jonas, a portfolio manager at Gabelli Funds who follows the industry. That’s tough when customers also are less reliant on drugstores now than in decades past.

He said shoppers buy more things online or during bigger trips to Costco or Walmart, and discount stores look even more attractive when inflation pushes up prices.

“I don’t think (consumers are) walking into the pharmacy two or three times a week and doing those little impulse buys in the front of the store as often,” Jonas said. Drugstores say they haven’t forgotten the communities left behind when a store closes. Walgreens, for instance, delivers some prescriptions for free within a 15-mile radius.

But deliveries don’t involve seeing a pharmacist or a pharmacy staff. And pharmacy technicians and others behind the counter often look like their customers or may speak a language that’s dominant in the neighborhood.

At least one in six retail pharmacies reported offering services in Spanish, according to the AP’s analysis of pharmacies in 49 states and data from the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs. That connection can’t easily be replaced “by telling patients, ‘Go to the next pharmacy,’” Adepoju at the University of Houston said.

Governments are starting to pay attention, too, with some states planning to study pharmacy closures, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Adepoju would like to see more regulation, given the growing role pharmacies play in providing care.

“If health care is seen as a right, not a privilege,” she said, “then you shouldn’t be able to just shut it down because you submitted paperwork and you put a notice on the front of your door.”

Israel-Gaza

US call for a cease-fire in Gaza puts Netanyahu at a legacy-shaping crossroads

By Tia Goldenberg

Associated Press

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The cease-fire proposal announced by President Joe Biden has placed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a crossroads, with either path likely to shape the legacy of Israel’s longest-serving and deeply divisive leader.

The proposal offers the possibility of ending Israel’s war against Hamas, returning scores of hostages held by the Islamic militant group, quieting the northern border with Lebanon and potentially advancing a historic agreement to normalize ties with Saudi Arabia.

But it would also likely shatter Netanyahu’s governing coalition, potentially sending him into the opposition and making him more vulnerable to a conviction in his corruption trial. The full withdrawal of Israeli forces called for in the agreement could allow Hamas to claim victory and reconstitute itself.

Netanyahu’s rejection of the deal, on the other hand, could deepen Israel’s international isolation, worsen ties with an American administration eager to wind down the war and expose him to accusations of having abandoned the hostages to save his own skin.

It’s a conundrum, and that may explain the strange choreography of Biden’s Friday night address: An American president, announcing what he says is an Israeli proposal, during the Jewish sabbath, when Israel’s political class goes largely silent.

Netanyahu acknowledged the proposal but then appeared to contradict Biden’s remarks. He said Israel remains committed to dismantling Hamas’ military and governing capabilities and that any talk of a permanent cease-fire before then was a “nonstarter.”

On Monday, he said the destruction of Hamas is “part of the proposal” and was quoted as telling a closed parliamentary hearing that Israel reserves the right to return to war if its objectives are not met.

But it has never been clear what the destruction of Hamas entails or whether it’s even possible. Biden said Israel had degraded Hamas to the point where it could no longer carry out an Oct. 7-style attack, and that that by continuing the war, Israel risked getting bogged down in Gaza.

But Netanyahu appears to be seeking a much bigger victory.

‘NETANYAHU’S ENDGAME IS TO SURVIVE’

Netanyahu’s critics fear he will reject any cease-fire to appease his ultranationalist governing partners, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. They want to continue the war, fully reoccupy Gaza and rebuild Jewish settlements there.

They have already vowed to leave the government if the proposal announced by Biden comes to pass. Netanyahu’s political opponents have offered a safety net if he reaches a deal to release hostages but they are unlikely to help him stay in office long-term.

“Everything that Ben-Gvir and Smotrich demand or threaten to do, you see Netanyahu is very attentive to that,” said Tal Schneider, an Israeli political commentator. “Netanyahu’s endgame is to survive.”

Netanyahu’s current government, formed in late 2022 after five consecutive elections, is the most nationalist and religious in Israel’s history. Months before the war, it pushed policies that entrenched Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, deepened the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community’s reliance on state subsidies and set in motion an overhaul of the judicial system that tore the country apart.

The coalition initially had a slim majority of 64 seats in Israel’s 120-seat parliament -– enough to govern but with a fragility that would keep Netanyahu’s fate tied to the whims of any of the smaller parties that form the government.

A VETERAN OF ‘DIFFICULT’ POLITICS

Shortly after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack ignited the war in Gaza, Benny Gantz, a former military chief and a top political rival of Netanyahu, joined the government in a show of unity. Netanyahu, Gantz and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant formed a three-man War Cabinet to direct the offensive.

Mazal Mualem, a Netanyahu biographer, said that effort largely succeeded in sidelining the ultranationalists and allowing Netanyahu to govern in a more pragmatic mold that has defined his 17 years in office going back to the 1990s.

She pointed to Israel’s limited response to an aerial attack by Iran in April, which Ben-Gvir criticized as “weak,” and to a cease-fire and hostage release deal reached

with Hamas in November that Smotrich had initially opposed but later voted for.

“Over the years, Bibi has taught himself to do what he wants to do in difficult political environments,” she said, referring to Netanyahu by his popular nickname.

But Gantz has threatened to quit the government unless Netanyahu lays out a postwar plan by June 8, which would leave him far more reliant on Smotrich and Ben-Gvir.

Netanyahu’s decision to press ahead with Israel’s massive military campaign in Gaza as scores of hostages languish in captivity has opened him up to fierce criticism from many Israelis, including families of the captives. Thousands have joined weekly mass protests.

“The government of Israel has given up on the hostages,” Yehi Yehud, who has an adult child being held hostage in Gaza, told Israeli Army Radio. “Bibi, you don’t have the permission or the moral validity to sacrifice them on the altar of your political survival.”

OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS

Netanyahu’s hard-line stance has also weighed heavily on Israel’s relations with its closest ally, the United States, which has provided crucial military support but expressed exasperation with civilian casualties and the lack of any realistic Israeli postwar plans.

Internationally, it has exposed Israel to charges of genocide, which it denies, and a potential international arrest warrant against Netanyahu himself.

In his address on Friday, Biden appeared to be offering Netanyahu a way out: Claim victory by saying a battered Hamas can no longer mount an Oct. 7-style attack, bring

all the hostages home and then work with the U.S. and Arab nations to build a new regional security architecture.

But the fear of losing power could prevail.

Netanyahu has spent years nurturing an image that only he can lead Israel through its myriad diplomatic and security challenges. That legacy suffered a major blow on Oct. 7, with many Israelis directly blaming him for the most devastating security failure in the country’s history. Public opinion polls indicate that Netanyahu is trailing behind Gantz and would struggle to form a government if elections were held today. For all their threats, his far-right allies are in a similar predicament. They would likely join him in the opposition if early elections are held, losing the power he has granted them over the Israeli police and settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank.

If Netanyahu can hold his coalition together until the next scheduled elections in 2026, he might be able to rehabilitate his image. His poll numbers have already started to climb from the depths they hit after Oct. 7 as he has presented himself as withstanding international pressure to end the war.

Aviv Bushinsky, a former Netanyahu adviser, said Netanyahu’s wartime decision-making has less to do with immediate political survival and more with securing a legacy that would not be entirely overshadowed by Oct. 7. That requires some kind of victory over Hamas.

“From a historical perspective, Netanyahu’s only option is to go all the way,” he said. Ben-Gvir and Smotrich “are helping him reach that destination, to keep his head above water.”

With regular patterns of rain and storms these last three weeks, you may have noticed an abundance of weeds already growing in your vegetable garden. Most weeds are thriving in these conditions of wet, humid weather combined with warming soil temperatures. Before I discuss what we would recommend, you should recognize that weed control begins with proper identification. If you know what weed species you are dealing with, your management strategies could work.

We are currently in the crucial period of weed management. This time period, the first 45 days after planting, is where we see most weed germination and growth

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Weed management in the vegetable garden

for the season. If you are able to remove these weeds early on, it will mean that they do not become a serious problem later in the season.

The main vegetable garden management strategy is tool/hand removal of weeds. Try to remove almost all of the weed plant to ensure that it can’t come back. You also want to do as minimal soil disturbance as you can. If you have a perennial weed, you need to remove the root as it will still return with annual growth. As we are seeing weekly rain showers, you should remove these weeds from the garden to the reduce the risk of them re-seeding.

From there, weed management goes back to a simple principle of removing one or many resources that a weed

species needs: sunlight, water, space and nutrients. So far this growing season, water is abundant for all plants. Because of this, your strategy should be to eliminate sunlight. We usually suggest mulching as it targets both sunlight and water. Depending on the weed species, a heavy mulch of straw/wood/cardboard/ newspaper/others can keep that weed managed. While hand-removal of weeds would still be recommended, mulching would help in both the short and longterm. Some of these mulches would stay in place for years. You might also combine them by using a cardboard-paper mulch as your first heavy layer and then follow with wood chips-seasonal straw. If you have any area of perennial weeds, you may want to go further. Consider

using a trimmer to cut the weeds back to the soil surface then lay down a heavy tarp or landscape fabric. The tarp would need to be removed after 4-6 weeks and you could then lay down wood mulch or a mixture. If using landscape fabric, it is possible to plant right within. If this is a growing area you are trying to restore, you may need to go further and utilize an herbicide before laying down landscape fabric-heavy mulch. While this strategy may work, keep in mind that you’d want to do this before any seeds enter into the soil. Furthermore, it may not work depending on the weed species.

Cancer, the scourge of humanity

BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL

ILLINOIS RENEWABLE ENERGY ASSOCIATION

Most of us are well aware of cancer. Sonia’s latest cancer operation has us spending time at the University of Wisconsin Cancer Center in Madison. The news is encouraging but her ongoing battle has led us to reflect on the many family members, friends and acquaintances who have struggled with the disease. It is estimated the disease accounts for 17% of the deaths occurring in the United States.

Cancer involves the rapid and uncontrolled growth of cells in the human body; there is no particular way to avoid it. According to Lifeline Health there are some common human behaviors which lower the risk of its occurrence. They include not smoking, limited alcohol consumption, avoiding excessive exposure to radiation and sunlight, avoiding obesity, eating a healthy diet and exercising. There are other nonbehavioral factors such as chronic inflammation, family history and aging which also influence

the possibility of developing cancers. Regular cancer screening can detect its presence at an early stage improving the changes of successful treatment.

Beyond what individuals can do to lessen the likelihood of developing cancer is what can be done through government actions to lessen cancers occurrence in the general population. Our lives are surrounded with chemicals. They are in our air, water, soil, food and in our bodies.

Some of the chemicals which can cause cancer are well known such as tobacco smoke, asbestos and diesel engine exhaust. But there are other chemicals which are used to help reduce or eliminate cancers.

Brad Roisfeld, a professor of chemical and biological engineering at Colorado State University, wrote an article in The Conversation raising the question: Does this cause cancer? In it he provided an overview of the process used by agencies to identify chemical and cancer hazards. (Much of the remainder of this article is based on our simplification of his perspective.)

Agencies of government have been assigned the task of identifying old and new chemicals which are carcinogenic to humans. Both national and international agencies were created to protect the health of the public.

If an agency determines that a particular chemical is carcinogenic further analysis is done to determine the level of cancer risk it imposes on the public, Based on existing research results political leaders can authorizes regulators to either limit the use of a chemical or outright ban its use.

Once a chemical is determined to be carcinogenic, a team of qualified scientists determines the level of exposure appropriate for the general public as well as occupational exposures to avoid increases in cancers.

The chemicals are further classified into four categories established by the International Agency for Research on Cancer; The categories are as follows:

Group 1 - carcinogenic to humans

Group 2A – probably carcinogenic to humans

Group 2B – possibly carcinogenic to humans

Group 3 - unable to classify as carcinogenic

Roisfeld points out that some classifications are controversial as is the case with glyphosate. It a widely used for weed killing. Being classified as probably carcinogenic to humans is seen as a threat to a multibillion marketplace value and would have significant financial and legal consequences.

We know the chemical is used in managing ecological preservation and restoration projects in woodlands and prairies. A number of important agricultural crops such as soybeans and corn have been designed to tolerate glyphosate use as a weed killer.

Even if no government action is taken the weeds controlled by the chemical could develop resistance to glyphosate reducing its value as a weed killer.

If glyphosate use were no longer e�ective, a new chemical or a nonchemical approach to weed control would be needed.

Defendant, KATIE FISK, Claimant. Case No. 24-MR-45

NOTICE BY PUBLICATION

Notice is hereby given to you, KATIE FISK, that the Plaintiff has filed a COMPLAINT FOR FORFEITURE that is now pending in the Circuit Court of Winnebago County, wherein the Plaintiff seeks an order authorizing the forfeiture and disposition of the following: 2004 BUICK RENDEVOUS VIN#3G5DA03E64S585212. This property was seized on or about 2/6/2024, by the Winnebago County Sheriffs Department. The next court date is 07/18/2024 at 9:45 AM in Courtroom 412 in the Winnebago County Courthouse, 400 W. State. St., Rockford, IL. Failure to appear at this court date may result in a default judgment entered in favor of the Plaintiff.

This is a civil court proceeding subject to the Code of Civil Procedure. Notice of this Complaint of Forfeiture has been published because the State’s Attorney’s office has brought a legal action seeking forfeiture of your seized property. This complaint starts the court process where the State seeks to prove that your property should be forfeited and not returned to you. This process is also your opportunity to try to prove to a judge that you should get your property back. The complaint lists the date, time, and location of your first court date. You must appear in court on that day, or you may lose the case automatically. You must also file an appearance and answer. If you are unable to pay the appearance fee, you may qualify to have the fee waived. If there is a criminal case related to the seizure of your property, your case may be set for trial after the criminal case has been resolved. Before trial, the judge may allow discovery, where the State can ask you to respond in writing to questions and give them certain documents, and you can make similar requests of the State. The trial is your opportunity to explain what happened when your property was seized and why you should get the property back.

This notice is published at the direction of the Winnebago County State’s Attorney’s Office - Civil Bureau, 400 W. State St., Suite 804, Rockford, IL, Phone: (815) 319-4799. 25193R TRRT 6/12 n n n STATE OF ILLINOIS IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE 17TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT COUNTY OF WINNEBAGO PROBATE DIVISION IN RE THE ESTATE OF: ROBERT EARL SNIPES, Deceased.
