'His decades of industry experience, proven leadership, and strategic mindset make him the ideal leader to take URM into the future. The company will be in excellent hands.' Sprinkle, who is retiring this summer, was first hired in 2003 as the vice president of Procurement, Retail Services, and Profit Centers. Ten years later, in March of 2013, he was promoted to the CEO & President of URM Stores, Inc and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Rosauers Supermarkets and Peirone Produce.

Could IL townships be dissolved? Bills supporting the decision are resurfacing, but some oppose the idea
MONTICELLO TOWNSHIP, Ill. (WCIA) — Some officials across Central Illinois are worried several townships could be dissolved if proposed bills continue to move forward. The Township Officials of Illinois report the 1,426 townships in the state serve more than 8 million citizens. For the last several years, some state officials have argued there are too many levels of government, and getting rid of townships could be one way to save money. The conversation is resurfacing, and not everyone is happy about it. Alan Sprinkle, the Monticello Township Highway Commissioner, believes it'll cost more if townships go away. He said cities or counties would have to pick up the slack to fill the gaps instead. His team plows snow, fixes potholes, maintains buildings and takes care of about 54 miles of road. Sprinkle said they cover a lot of ground, in part because Piatt County doesn't have a highway department. Over the years, Sprinkle said his team has built irreplaceable relationships with the thousands of people who live in his jurisdiction. 'We had a resident who was having a baby during a snowstorm,' he said. 'They reached out to the township and we escorted them from their home into town where they could get to the hospital so they could safely get to town with their pregnant wife.' Besides that, he said they also have a close relationship with the farming community and have helped get propane to farm houses in the winter. If townships go away, he is scared helping people in that way will change as well. Regarding the bills, SB2504, SB2217 and HB2515 are all on the table right now. Sen. Suzy Hilton (D-Western Springs) is one of the lawmakers part of the proposal. Her office confirmed she is pushing forward with SB2504, which would affect townships with 50,000 people or less. If you have any questions or concerns, Sprinkle suggests contacting state leaders to make sure your voice is heard. If you'd like to contact him directly, visit this link.

How to watch Washington vs USC today
How to watch Washington vs USC today Outside of pride, coach Danny Sprinkle and the Washington Huskies don't have much to play for as they head to the Galen Center for their final road game of the 2024-25 season. When the two teams faced off in early December, the Trojans had one of their best shooting games of the year in an 85-61 victory. "They came in, and I thought they played terrific," Sprinkle said after the game. "Credit to them, it seemed like they didn't miss in those first 30 minutes of the when we were defending with a ton of energy, they were making a ton of shots. We didn't do a good job of guarding them that kind of took the wind out of our sails." In the second matchup, with much less to play for, Sprinkle may lean heavily on some of the younger players that could be part of his core moving forward, like guards Zoom Diallo, Jase Butler, and Tyler Harris, after calling out his team for its lack of focus against Indiana. "We've got some guys and it's just not the most important thing, and that's a problem," Sprinkle said. After not converting a field goal against the Hoosiers, where he finished with just 4 points and 4 rebounds, Great Osobor will also be looking for a bounce-back performance with just two games remaining in his college career.

How to watch Washington vs Wisconsin today
How to watch Washington vs Wisconsin today After a tough loss on the road to the Iowa Hawkeyes, the Washington Huskies' road trip will only get tougher as coach Danny Sprinkle's team heads to Wisconsin to take on the Badgers. The Badgers, who are ranked No. 9 in KenPom and 13-2 at home this season, 21-6 overall, and have been a force to be reckoned with, even coming off a loss to Oregon. Coach Greg Gard's team has been led by John Tonje, who is averaging a Big Ten-leading 19.7 points per game this season. Sprinkle was pleased with his team's effort in its last game against Iowa, namely forward Great Osobor, who recorded his eighth double-double of the year with 15 points and 11 rebounds in the loss. "I was proud of our guys, I thought we got off to a really good start but we played a desperate team too," Sprinkle said. "Our guys came in and they didn't have a hangover from last game [against Rutgers]. We had great energy, we had good talk in the huddles, and then we even responded during the game a lot. The crowd got going when they hit some threes but we responded and it just avalanched in the second half, [Iowa] made some hustle plays and I've got to give them credit. They got all the 50/50 balls and they made us pay." In order to pull off a win against the Badgers and keep their season alive, the Huskies will need to bring similar energy on the road.

How to watch Washington vs Iowa today
How to watch Washington vs Iowa today The Washington Huskies had a great opportunity to make their way back into the top 15 of the Big Ten standings, which would put them in line to make the conference tournament, but fell to Rutgers and standout guard Dylan Harper 89-85 in overtime. Now, coach Danny Sprinkle's team will head to Iowa in hopes of redeeming itself. One way the Huskies can do that is by cutting down on fouls. Although there were numerous calls in Washington's matchup with Rutgers that got a chorus of boos from the crowd and a few that visibly upset Sprinkle. The Huskies committed 27 fouls, which led to 37 free throw attempts for Rutgers, while Washington took only 15. "I can't explain it," Sprinkle said after the game. "I felt like we were trying to be aggressive too, I'd have to watch the tape on that but I thought a couple times our guys were in good position and made good plays, but I'd have to watch it. That is a hell of a disparity." Both Great Osobor and Mekhi Mason, who combined for 37 points in the contest, fouled out in the game, and having them back, along with Tyler Harris and Zoom Diallo who also combined for 37, should bring a boost as the Huskies head into the home stretch of their schedule.
