By: Diane Benjamin We are expected to believe a dedicated 15 year football coach suddenly decided he needed to spend more time with his family. It’s a great idea, but it’s difficult to believe he wouldn’t have planned his departure and made sure a great coach was in place so the program wouldn’t suffer. That […]

By: Diane Benjamin The spontaneous Executive Session was not held on November 13th, it was held on November 8th at the end of a regular meeting. It was held in response to some disgruntled parents. The Board briefly recessed, hopefully not to discuss whether to hold an Executive Session. Holding any discussions outside of a […]
See corrections in this story: https://blnnews.com/2018/01/11/unit-5-story-corrections/ By: Diane Benjamin I wish my kids had been coached by Darren Hess.

The buzz is NO football this year! The last owner left town and a lot of bills. Just add that to the list of CIAM (Central Illinois Arena Management) contract violations. Is anybody even managing the Coliseum?
I hear another Coliseum team has gone out of business. Football is gone, owner David Holt left town months ago. He said the team would continue without him, but now he has cleaned out his office permanently. Anybody sensing a pattern? The CIAM contract requires a football team. How many contract violations is CIAM up […]
