Bureau County State’s Attorney Patrick Herrmann resigns

County board chairman to choose his

replacementBy Zita HenneBerry

[email protected]

PRINCETON — For 16 years, Patrick Herrmann has served as the Bureau County’s State’s Attorney. But as the calendar turns from 2014 to 2015, things change. With significant experi-ence in the office, Herrmann is resigning from his job as Bureau County State’s Attorney.

“I just want to thank the pub-lic for their trust in me for the last 16 years,” said Herrmann. “I hope I’ve honored their trust.”

On Thursday, Herrmann sent his letter of resignation to the Bureau County Board and to the Bureau County Clerk.

Herrmann explained he will be stepping down as state’s attorney at the end of this month and entering into a pri-vate practice.

“I’m venturing into a new ter-ritory for me,” he said.

The open door interactions of the Bureau County State Attorney’s office is one thing Herrmann said he will defi-nitely miss. The days where he thought there was not much to do, said Herrmann, wound up being his busiest. He never really knew who was going to walk into the office, whether it was going to be police officers, civilians or small town newspa-per reporters.

Herrmann will continue to practice law in the area. How-

ever, he said the private prac-tice he will be transferring to has yet to be announced.

The new Bureau Coun-ty State’s Attorney, said Her-rmann, could be decided as early as the county board meet-ing next week. While Herrmann has made his suggestion as to

whom he believes should fill the position, the decision will fall to the county board chair-man.

With the help and consent of the county board, Chairman Dale Anderson is expected to be making the appointment this month. However, the Bureau

County Clerk’s office confirmed the next state’s attorney must be of Herrmann’s political party, which is Democrat.

“I’ve enjoyed my time as state’s attorney,” said Her-rmann, “It’s not an easy job;

Church Women United

gives backGray: ‘We are so thankful to be

able to reach out’By Goldie Currie

[email protected]

PRINCETON — The Church Women United (CWU) of the Princeton Area gathered on Wednesday morning at The Princeton Closet resale shop to distribute its annual fund dona-tions for 2014.

The group was able to donate $122,000 to 30 local schools and organizations. The money donated was from profits raised throughout the year at the North Main Street resale shop.

“The many volunteers and generous donations keep the expenses down and allow us to help others in our community in various ways,” said Pamela Gray, president of the Princeton Area CWU. “We thank God for his guidance and pray that he will continue to lead us in ways to help others.”

From 2002 to 2012, the Princ-eton Area CWU was able to give back a total of $1 million to the community. The group is now working hard toward its next goal — $2 million.

For more than 40 years, CWU of Princeton has been blessed with excess funds. The group is pleased to make donations to local organizations to further their work in the community.

What a year it’s been at the Bureau County Food PantryIncreased needs

expected in 2015By Goldie Currie

[email protected]

PRINCETON — Last year, 2014, was a busy one for the Bureau County Food Pantry.

On top of the day-to-day work of providing emergency food assistance to those in need, the food pantry took on several projects throughout the year to go above and beyond meeting the basic needs of individuals throughout the county.

Bureau County Food Pan-try Manager Vanessa Hoffeditz

released an annual report show-ing the various service projects taken on in the last year and the numbers to prove the impact of those of you who took part in the projects.

“As in past years, I am thank-ful for the tremendous support from the communities that we service. Without the partner-ships and support of the local community, we would not be able to meet the ongoing needs,” she said. “As we move forward into the new year, we hope that we will continue to meet the ever-growing needs of our community and that we will maintain and develop new part-nerships to meet those needs.”

In March, the food pantry

distributed 104 Easter baskets to individuals and households. Donations from the communi-ty — financial or actual food — assisted with the cost of this distribution, said Hoffeditz.

During the spring and sum-mer months, the food pantry was fortunate to have fresh pro-duce provided by Master Gar-deners, local farmers and indi-vidual “green thumbers.”

“Our customers greatly appre-ciated these donations,” Hoffed-itz said.

During the weeks of July 21 and Aug. 4, the annual School Supply Distribution was held. A total of 47 bags were distributed

After 16 years as the Bureau County State’s Attorney, Patrick Herrmann handed in his letter of resig-nation Thursday morning. Herrmann said he will miss the regular day-to-day interactions of the office, but he looks forward to his next step into new territory.

‘Cool Kids’ Corner’ to debut Jan. 15Fourth-grader

Logan Serpette will coordinate the column

By BCR [email protected]

Logan Serpette, a 9 year old from Henry, will join the newspaper indus-try with the debut of his monthly “Cool Kids’ Cor-ner” column, which will first appear in the Illinois Valley Scene on Jan. 15.

“Cool Kids’ Corner” will feature word scrambles, jokes, fun facts, trivia, easy recipes kids can make, brief biographies on famous people every child should know and more. Any child can submit an item to “Cool Kids’ Corner” by sending an email to [email protected]. Make sure to include the child’s name, age and town of residence, so they can get credit for their item in the newspa-per.

Classroom teachers are also encouraged to make “Cool Kids’ Corner” a part of their discussion, and submissions by an entire class or individual students are encouraged, as well as children who are educated in a home-school environ-ment.

The page will appear

once a month in the Illi-nois Valley Scene, which reaches every household in Bureau and Putnam counties, and is meant to be an interactive page for children of all ages, grade levels and interests, but it will primarily have a focus for children in elementary school — ages 5 to 12.

“Cool Kids’ Corner” is written exclusively by Logan with other children in mind. He is anxious to hear from others, publish their jokes and recipes, hear of fun and exciting things they like to do, and more ...

“I hope readers big and small will like my writing,” Logan said. “I also hope they will learn, laugh and think.”

In his spare time, Logan is a hardcore Lego fanatic; loves to write fictional short stories; hangs out with his younger sister, Lexi; partic-ipates in sports; and plays video games. He is in the fourth grade at Henry-Sen-achwine Grade School.

“Logan is an absolute delight,” said Bureau Coun-ty Republican/Putnam

County Record/Illinois Valley Scene Editor Terri Simon. “He is very articu-late, has a great grasp of the English language, engages easily and is very excited to bring ‘Cool Kids’ Corner’ to Bureau and Putnam county residents.

“As always, I enjoy work-ing with young people in the newspaper business,” Simon continued. “Many, many young people have contributed to this news-paper in my 20-year career here; I’m a firm believer if we want young people to be newspaper readers, we have to give them youthful writers to read.

“Logan is a wonderful young man. He is eager to bring ‘Cool Kids’ Corner’ to life, and I hope you, as readers, will help me wel-come him to the pages of our newspapers,” Simon said.

Again, you can contact Logan at [email protected]. He is anxious to hear from readers of all ages.

Who turned the water off?Sheffield works on water main break

By Terri [email protected]

SHEFFIELD — Sheffield village residents have been without water, due to a water main break, which occurred on Thursday.

Sheffield Village Clerk Pat Stier said the water main line break was behind the old City Hall. The line is the one that fur-nishes water to all village residents.

Stier said the shifting of the ground can create a water main break at any time of the year.

According to www.waterone.org, water main breaks happen for vari-ous reasons as a normal part of operating a water utility. Overly dry or wet weather causes the ground

to shift, typically resulting in round breaks wrapping around the diameter of the pipe. Sudden pressure fluctuations and the nor-mal aging process of the mains also cause breaks, typically resulting in lat-eral breaks running along the pipe.

The water was turned off to village residents on Thursday, and then turned back on about 5 p.m. the same night. About 100,000 gallons of water was pumped out of the water tower Thursday night. Some residents experi-enced considerably less water pressure; some had no water at all.

Sheffield Mayor Bill Rosenow said an outside contractor arrived early Friday morning to locate the leak and repair it with the help of village employ-ees. Residents’ water was again turned off at that time.

At about 11 a.m., Rose-now said the contrac-tor and village were still attempting to locate the leak, though he expect-ed it to be found soon. He said the ground was thawed and the hole was dug, but the actual break hadn’t been found. Once the break is discovered, Rosenow said it’s a quick fix turnaround time. The water tower is being refilled, but Rosenow said no water can be put into the system until the break is repaired.

After a water main break, it’s standard for at least a 24-hour boil order to be in place.

Garbage pickup was can-celed on Friday, but it will be picked up on Monday.

Further updates can be found on the village’s Facebook page or on the village sign on Routes 6/34.

Sheriff Reed appoints Bret Taylor to chief deputy of sheriff’s office

PRINCETON — Sher-iff Jim Reed announced Friday the appointment of Lt. Bret E. Taylor to chief deputy of the Bureau County Sheriff’s Office.

Taylor is a U.S. Army veteran and has served the office of the Bureau County Sheriff for near-ly 27 years. Taylor has served in many roles including field deputy, criminal investigator, inspector with the Illi-nois State Police District 17 Drug Task Force, and operations lieutenant at the sheriff’s office.

Along with Reed, Tay-lor will be responsi-ble for the supervision of every aspect of the

sheriff’s office including the Bureau County Jail, county correctional offi-cers, telecommunica-tions, law enforcement and criminal investi-gators. His experience, insight and profession-alism will serve to sup-port the sheriff’s office and will benefit the resi-dents of Bureau County, Reed said.

Reed and Taylor will be assisted in their duties of the sher-iff’s office by Admin-istrative Lt. Timothy P. Trevier. Trevier is a 28-year veteran of the sheriff’s office and has also served the sheriff’s office in numerous roles including field deputy,

canine officer, crimi-nal investigator, nar-cotics investigator with Tri-DENT, and chief deputy. Trevier will be responsible for super-vision of the Bureau County Jail and criminal investigations. Trevier’s experience and integrity will be a valuable asset in criminal investiga-tions and in developing future potential inves-tigators for the sheriff’s office, Reed said, adding Taylor and Trevier have dedicated most of their lives to serve the sher-iff’s office and the citi-zens of Bureau County, and they will faithfully continue their support to the community.

“We are so thankful to be able to reach out fur-ther in the community and assist the poor, the hungry and the people in need,” Gray said. “Each year is a new challenge. We ask for your prayers and support in the future, so that we may continue to praise God in our work and return the county to the community.”

Other than operat-ing the Princeton Clos-et resale shop, CWU is involved in other minis-tries in the community. They hold celebrations for May Friendship Day and World Community Day. CWU has also sponsored the Mobile Meals Program since 1974 and has helped with the Red Cross Blood-mobile-canteen.

but it’s a job well worth the effort to put in, and I thank the voters and cit-izens of Bureau County for the opportunity.”

Herrmann is excited to venture into new territo-ry.

“It will be new; it will be

different, and that should be exciting,” he said.

Because this change is so new, he is unsure if this will be a step back or simply increase his work-load.

Herrmann began his time as Bureau Coun-ty State’s Attorney in December of 1998, replacing the former state’s attorney and cur-

rent Circuit Court Judge Mark Bernabei. Herr-mann has been re-elected to the position ever since. Working as an assistant state’s attorney from 1984 to 1998, Herrmann has had more than 30 years of experience working in the Bureau County State’s Attorney’s office.


with 26 families obtaining school supplies during the distribution dates. The school supply distri-bution was made possi-ble by a community grant from the Bureau Coun-ty United Way and other community donations.

In September and through December, many individuals, along with clubs, churches, schools, community groups, busi-nesses, the local grocery store and other organiza-tions began to hold food drives and pledge finan-cially to the food pantry.

From October to November, the food pan-try partnered with Ser-viceMaster Restoration by DSI and Kramer’s Kitch-en and Catering for the annual Stuff the Store Front winter coat, glove and hat drive for school-aged children. This result-ed in 80 coats being donated along with many hats and gloves.

Also in November, the food pantry distributed 183 Thanksgiving baskets, which was an increase of 13 baskets compared to last year’s distribution. Food for the baskets was contributed by the Bureau County Farm Bureau Women’s Committee.

In December, the Elks Club distributed 85 Christmas baskets to food pantry customers.

“This was made pos-sible by donations from members of the Elks Club,” Hoffeditz con-firmed. “They have been distributing food/toy baskets for over 50 years.”

Also in December, win-ter coats, hats and gloves

were distributed earlier in the month. Hoffeditz confirmed a second dis-tribution will be held this month.

“The work the food pantry does could not happen without the sup-port of our local volun-teers,” Hoffeditz said. “A special thanks to Sylvia, Jaime, Christine, Diane, the Elders and the stu-dents from the PHS. With-out them, we could not do the work that we do and meet the increased needs at the food pantry.”

Looking ahead in 2015

Just weeks into the new year, the Bureau County Food Pantry is working to replenish and restock their food supply.

While Hoffeditz is very grateful for all the dona-tions that came in during the holidays, she wants to remind folks that hunger continues all year round, and after the holidays the food pantry is needing more than ever.

“After January, we are needing everything,” she said.

For those wonder-ing what types of foods to donate, Hoffeditz said to think about the sort of foods people buy for themselves on a regular

basis.She said to remember

the basics: Hamburger, hot dogs, chicken, soups, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, canned or fresh foods and vegeta-bles, spaghetti, bread, etc.

Other than food, the pantry is also looking for personal items for patrons, as well. Items include: Toilet paper, toothpaste, bar soup, dis-posable razors, deodor-ant, etc.

The food pantry also accepts baby food, dia-pers, wipes, formula, etc.

Looking at the stats from 2014, Hoffeditz expects to see more new individuals at the food pantry this year.

She said there are more factors people are being faced with today that leave them no choice but to use the food pantry. She said people are having a hard-er time making food dol-lars stretch with increased food prices; also many are seeing a reduction in food stamps; other individuals are experiencing employ-er changes — whether they were laid off, hav-ing a difficult time finding a new job or they were laid off and were forced to take a lower paying job and having difficulties making ends meet.

City of Princeton warning: Buried fire hydrants create safety hazard

PRINCETON — With the first significant snow of the year, the Princeton Fire Department reminds residents to keep fire hydrants in their neighborhoods clear of snow.

“People removing snow from their driveways and side-walks can cause fire hydrants to be hidden from view,” said Princeton Fire Chief Chuck Woolley. “Even city snowplows can cover hydrants. The plow drivers don’t even know it, but someone who lives near it does. And, they are the people who will depend on us finding the hydrant and being able to use it quickly, in the event of a fire.”

Fire hydrants should have a minimum of 3 feet of clear space around them, he added.

A hidden fire hydrant is useless to firefighters in an emergency.

“We look for the closest hydrant, but if we don’t see it,

we are forced to look further away increasing the time it takes to set-up a water supply,” Woolley said.

Digging-out a fire hydrant takes time and manpower away from saving lives and property, if it can even be found.

“It’s generally accepted that the size of a fire will double every minute; some say every 30 seconds. If it takes us an additional five minutes to locate or get to a hydrant, the fire is growing, and there may be nothing we can do about it,” Woolley said.

He suggests residents look around neighborhoods and make sure hydrants are visible and accessible to firefight-ers.

“We need water to put out fires. We need people to help us do that by keeping hydrants available to us,” Woolley said.

Sam R FisherPublisher

Terri Simoneditor

Nothing to say ...On Wednesday of this week, I

started out the day with every inten-tion of writing my “regular” kind of column. You know, words of wisdom about armpit noises and flatulence. Actually the ideas that I had inco-herently jotted down on Tuesday night in a drowsy haze, right before I fell asleep had to do with breakfast cereal, blinking, teaching a 9 year old how to play chess, the “Carol Bur-nett Show” and Stretch Armstrong. Each of these nuggets undoubtedly having the potential of garnering awards from the Pulitzer committee. But all of these thoughts went by the wayside soon after I woke up.

If you remember, Wednesday was a bitterly cold, Midwestern, January day. The kind of day that makes you wonder if the vehicles are going to start or not. The older I get, the more I hate those days. That’s what was going through my head as the alarm went off and my feet hit the cold hardwood floor.

As I made my breakfast in the pre-dawn darkness, I could hear the television droning on and on about some office shooting in France. Sadly, that didn’t really take my attention away from making sure I got the timer set correctly on the microwave oven. I guess that I’ve gotten used to hearing about office shootings on the morning news. One minute and 30 seconds later, when the dinger went off, I took the bowl of oatmeal out and made my way to my easy chair to see what the weath-erman had to say about the frigid, new day while I dined in style.

As I was sipping my Hawaiian Punch, waiting for my breakfast to cool (I might try a minute and 20 seconds next time), I casually picked up my phone and mindlessly checked my Facebook page. It was then that I became truly aware of how things that happen halfway around the world can change your day. My oatmeal would get cold.

I should explain to you that when I

first got my Facebook account, one of my main intentions was to become associated with other car-toonists, illustrators, artists, etc. ... Basically, other like-minded people that I might not meet while residing in a small town nestled in the frozen tundra of Northern Illinois. I was also able to reconnect with several old friends and classmates which is great, but initially, my main objec-tive was to get my dusty farm boot stuck in the door of the art world. I believed this to the point where out of the more than 1,000 people who I’m Facebook “friends” with, easily 80 percent of them have some sort of connection to the world of art and especially cartooning. A good deal of them do not speak English, and a few of them write in some sort of hieroglyphics that look nothing like an alphabet. I have no idea what they’re saying, but their artwork is pretty cool.

I don’t know what everyone else’s Facebook page looked like that morning, but I know what mine looked like. It was lit up with a steady stream of news stories about the shooting in Paris. It was then I realized that the massacre took place at the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a world-renowned satirical publica-tion. Several of the people who had been gunned down were cartoonists. If you want the specifics, there is a plethora of media outlets that can tell you all about it.

Since a vast majority of my con-nections on Facebook are involved in comics and the world of satirical illustration, there was an over-whelming response to this horrible event. Most were sad and angry that

something like this could take place. A few had met or had an association with some of the people who had been killed. Some were spouting off about religious differences. Many were just venting about freedom of speech and the press. Throughout the day, many posted their own graphic tributes. It seemed like everyone had something to say. Except for me. My mind was blank.

I have always liked to draw, and comic art has always been my main interest. I’ve “worked” at it as long as I can remember. I have always enjoyed the look on people’s faces when they ask me what I do, and I tell them about my comic strip. I proudly consider myself a cartoonist above anything else I do. Did I men-tion that five of the 12 people killed that day were cartoonists? They were my kind of people. It concerns me that on the day that I should be out-raged beyond belief, I literally had nothing to say.

That was Wednesday morning. The clock has now clicked past mid-night Thursday to Friday morning, and I still don’t have anything to say. I don’t believe that my muse is coming to pay a visit. I don’t know, but I guess it’s true that sometimes silence speaks volumes.

At this point, my column ideas just seem a little too stupid for even me to chase around a blank piece of paper. All of the sudden, fart jokes just don’t seem quite so funny any-more. Hopefully this won’t last too long.

So this is my column for this week. I am aware that I basical-ly wrote about nothing this time around. I have voiced no opinion or pointed out anything deep and/or earth-shattering. But let’s be honest ... was that ever going to happen anyway?

COMMENTARY

First Amendment“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,

Constitution of the United States, 1789

Giving myself the boot

OK, I’ll admit it. I don’t own a pair of winter boots. Even with snow nearly up to my knees, I refuse to buy them. It might sound a little crazy, I know, especially given our locale in this great country we call home, but my madness reeks of nostalgia. Despite wet socks and feet, cold toes and ruined shoes ... I refuse to give in.

It all started back in grade school, when 99 per-cent of my friends (OK, I think it was really 100 per-cent, but for the sake of argument with my mom, I’m going with 99 percent) wore snow boots to school — the kind of boots where you slipped off your shoes and stuck your feet into these fur-lined, comfy boots that kept your tootsies warm and dry. Those lucky little children carried their shoes with them in a seemingly designer shoe bag. When they got to school, they took off their boots, unzipped their shoe bags, and stuck their warm feet into the shoes they had brought with them. Their boots rested comfortably in their lockers until recess, where the process was reversed.

OK ... in all fairness to the adults in my home, I was the kind of kid who never missed a puddle or a snowdrift. Hard as I tried, those wet and slushy entities called my name, and something inside of that crazy, little girl head of mine, obliged by jump-ing, shuffling and wading through the snow, slush and other elements. The healing for that childhood affliction was easy, or so my adults thought. I’m about sure the idea in my adults’ heads went some-thing like this: “Just buy the kid a pair of red, rub-ber boots, and she’ll be fine.”

Whoa ... little did they know my young psyche carved out a mental issue that whittled away at my soul ... not to mention my vanity. Now, every year when the white stuff comes around, my feet remember ... oh so well, those red, rubber boots.

To say I was embarrassed is an understate-ment. Even at that very young age, it compares to today’s children who go to school and watch all their friends wearing Under Armour or Nike shirts, compared to their no-name, non-designer labels. Even though I attended school back in the day when there was no such thing as a designer label, I watched the other little girls as they shed their snow boots and sneaked glances at my red, rubber ones. I was mortified.

Since I knew no adult in my house was going to let me out the door without boots, I did what any ingenious child of the ‘60s would do. I tucked a paper sack from the Piggly Wiggly store inside my coat and boarded the school bus with those dread-ed rubber boots on my youthful feet. I’d head to the back of the bus, where I’d shed those red rubber boots, put them in the Piggly Wiggly bag and hide them under the backseat of the bus. At the end of the day, I reversed the process and jumped off the bus with those ugly, not-cool, red, rubber boots.

Did I mention that red, rubber boots were very difficult to pull on over your shoes? It could take several minutes to get that rubber to slide over sad-dle shoes. My adults had the answer for that too. Sit down, folks ... The answer is as practical as those red, rubber boots. Bread bags! That’s right! Empty Colonial Bread bags — in their bright yellow and red colors — were just the thing to slip over stub-born shoes and allow them to slide quickly into red, rubber boots. Go figure. Talk about having another strike against me. These childhood memories are what cause grown adults to seek counseling ...

But then the other day as the snow was falling, growing deeper by the hour, something else hit me. OMG! Yes, my grandfather had two-buckle and four-buckle boots to do farm chores, but if my memory serves me correctly, nobody else in the family owned a pair of boots at all ... Coming from a family who had to count every dime, those red, rubber boots made perfect sense. It was probably all we could afford.

Shame on me ... sometimes you have tromp through a lot of snow in life to have it all make sense ...

GRANVILLE — Put-nam County-Hall head wrestling coach Jerry Kriewald knows how to invest in the future. For the past several years, Kriewald has worked on developing the next gen-eration of wrestlers with the Thundercats wres-tling club.

Thundercats is open to any young person who is currently in the fourth through eighth grades. Students who join must attend either Putnam County schools or any feeder grade school to Hall High School. The idea is simple: Instill a love of wrestling in an individual and help him develop and compete with success at the high school level. The team practices Monday, Tues-day and Thursday in the evenings.

Team members include Miles McCook, Sami Khouaja, Connor Booker, Chad Olson, Rylan Poole, Joseph Mecagni, Stephen Mecagni, Ryan Welch, Christian Holm, Cale O’Donnell and Bucky Judd from Putnam County. From Spring Valley, team members are Brayden Bickett, Vic-tor Heredia, Elian Rive-ra, Adam Harper, Dain Magana, Alek Puentes and Caleb Savitch.

“If the kids need shoes or head gear, I have a box of them that they can borrow from,” Kriewald said. “I have my high school kids help me coach on Sundays. We would really appre-ciate some assistance at practices and meets.”

The Thundercats have 17 members who are out for the team. Several of the kids have had exten-sive post season experi-ence in previous years. There are several team members that Kriewald looks to do good things this year.

“Caleb Savitch has been wrestling on his own in tournaments around here,” Kriewald said. “I expect Chris-tian Holmes, a return-ing state qualifier and Elian Rivera and Joseph Mecagni to all do well this year. Holmes, Rivera and Mecagni often prac-tice with the PC/Hall wrestling team.”

Savitch, a fifth grader at JFK in Spring Valley, has been working with a relative who is a former wrestler.

“I really like the meets. Then you are with all

your friends at practice. I have been surprised that sometimes it’s hard to keep up in the meets sometimes,” Savitch said.

Khouaja is in his first year of wrestling as a sev-enth-grader at Putnam County Junior High.

“My brother and step-dad had wrestled so I have got more into it. It’s been interesting in learning how to defend myself. It takes endur-ance. I work out and try to keep myself in shape.

I run,” Khouaja said.The Thundercats wres-

tle in tournaments under the banner of the Illinois Kids Wrestling Federa-tion (IKWF.) The regular season will start on Jan. 11 and run through Feb. 8. Post season will include regional competition at LaSalle-Peru High School March 1 and possibly sec-tionals and state action.

At this age level the tournaments are run a bit differently. Instead

of wrestling at a specif-ic weight class, the kids are paired up in groups of four with other partic-ipants of the same size. They round robin wrestle each kid in their bracket, and the individual with the best record wins.

“We are self sufficient. We are no financial bur-den to the school district. We appreciate the spon-sors that we have greatly,” Kriewald said. “We car-pool to each tournament.”

For more information on the Thundercats club, contact Kriewald at 815-712-9609.

BLOOMINGTON — Illinois high schools rejected a proposal to revamp the football regular season and play-off system, the IHSA announced Tuesday.

Proposal 10, which would have moved the regular sea-son from conference play to district play, was rejected by a 306-162 vote (65.4 percent-34.6 percent) by member schools.

Schools also narrowly rejected two proposals regard-ing the Scholastic Bowl season. Proposal 17, which would have removed the season limitation currently in place for Scholastic Bowl, failed by a 48 percent-52 per-cent margin. Proposal 18, which would have increased the contest limitation for Scholastic Bowl from 18 dates to 30 dates, failed by just six votes (49.5 percent-50.5 percent).

Two other proposals were passed: the elimination of a mid-summer “dead week” from the IHSA calendar, and moving the start of the girls’ tennis season up by four days.
