Commissioners clear up union holiday pay

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald County commissioners ironed out the finer interpretations of the sheriff’s union contract regarding employee pay in relation to holidays during a regular meeting Nov. 7.

County board member Gene Breden expressed some problems he’s noted regarding how employees in the sheriff’s office were calculating the hours they worked. He said most of the problem stems from how holiday pay is issued to dispatchers.

“We all know and we all agree that if an employee does not work the holiday, they get paid for the holiday,” Breden said. “The problem is that some employees down there have been claiming 48 hours a week when

there is a holiday.”

The requests were made by the employees, some of whom addressed the issue with County Clerk Rita Hagen, who said the employees were paid for 48 hours during the weeks with a holiday. Both Sheriff Bill Heffington and deputy P.J. Parker said this was the first they had heard about the issue, and Parker said employees must first address such issues with Heffington as per the union contract.

Hagen said the employees came to her office prior to the approval of the union contract, and as such, a policy regarding the issue was not in place.

Breden said part-time workers have also requested pay-and-a-half for working on a holiday, but said nothing in the contract entitles part-time employees to such pay.

Taking

The only time pay-and-a-half would be issued to part-time employees is when they work more than 40 hours in a week, Wilschetz said.

Because the dispatching service is available at every hour of the day, full-time dispatchers must put in 40 hours of work each week to fill all the time slots.

“All our dispatchers full-time work 40-hours a week,” Heffington said.

“They work 40 hours a week. We’ve got 160 hours a week we’ve got to cover down there.”

Wilschetz said in the full-time employees’ cases, they may work 40 hours in a given week without working on the holiday. In that situation, he said the full-time employee would be entitled to a full day’s pay from the holiday in addition to the 40 hours

worked that week. If they were to work on the holiday, he said they would be entitled to time-and-a-half for the hours worked.

Only when a full-time employee works overtime on a holiday would that person receive two-and-a-half times pay. Part-time employees would not be eligible for such pay.

Breden asked if the county would look to recoup some of the money paid to part-timers, and Wilschetz said he would not like to do so, for ethical reasons. Breden said time reporting for hours worked must follow the union contract guidelines in the future.

Deputy Parker said he would schedule a meeting with employees in the sheriff’s office to go over the details of the union contract so they

know what to expect and how to address issues with their pay.

The union contract was signed

by Chairman Wilschetz Oct. 7, after more than a year of negotiations between the commissioners and union officials.

Minor changes were made to the contract when it came up for a vote in September, but the commissioners wanted to reread it before making final approval. The board authorized Wilschetz to sign the contract after the board had a chance to review the changes.

Part-time and full-time employees of the sheriff’s department are covered by the contract, but certain entitlements are only earned by fulltime employees as per the language in the agreement.

Commissioners take next step in courthouse renovation

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun County Commissioners are moving forward with the courthouse renovation project for which the county was donated $1 million towards the project’s completion.

In August, the county approved to have a structural engineer inspect the building in the center of Hardin, which was formerly a school. Owner’s representative Bernie Loft, representing the commissioners during the process, said the engineer pointed out some issues with the building while he inspected it.

The county awaited the engineer’s report which was not delivered until late October. Loft, along with Tim Smith, of Evan Lloyd Architects from Springfield handling the architectural side of the project, reported to the building and grounds committee during a meeting Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 5 p.m. Details from the meeting were not available at press time and will be included in an upcoming edition of the Calhoun News-Herald.

After the commissioners regular meeting Nov. 7, chairman Doug Wilschetz said some of the dollar amounts for the first phase of the proj-

ect may be increased because of the report, but the committee will work to resolve how the phase will continue.

“They’ll start constructing a plan on the phases,” Wilschetz said. “We’re just going to have to take a look at the money. The architect said he had some other ideas on getting some other sources of revenue.”

Wilschetz said it is unlikely any county offices would move into the building with the completion of the first phase of the project. During a regular meeting Aug. 8, Smith presented the board with proposed phases of the (See, COMMISSIONERS, A2)

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun County Commissioners approved a policy for medical leave of county employees who have exhausted the number of medical leave weeks offered to them by law.

County Clerk Rita Hagen said county employees who are on medical leave for more than 12 weeks must be offered COBRA, in accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, though the county is not liable for payments to the service.

“After 12 weeks, according to our

insurance agent, we must move that employee to COBRA,” Hagen said.

“According to IMRF, if the person is on IMRF disability, they can go to the COBRA rates for our insurance because of the Health Insurance Continuation law, without being terminated.”

An employee using COBRA may continue use of the program for up to 36 months, Hagen said, noting the rates are two percent more than the county’s insurance rates. She said the county does not have a policy dictating employees may move to COBRA when their medical leave insurance through the county has been exhausted, nor

does is it outline the county’s responsibilities in paying for the service.

County board chairman Doug Wilschetz said other businesses do not pay for more than 12 weeks of medical or disability leave. In a unanimous vote, the county board approved to “terminate the paying of premiums of insurance after 12 weeks of disability.”

During the 12-week period, the employee may not be terminated from the job, but after that time, elected office holders – with the exclusion of the sheriff – may choose how long to hold the position for the employee.

Two Rivers NWR boosts local economy with visitor attraction

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Two Rivers National Wildlife Refuge (TRNWR) in Brussels brings many people to Calhoun County each year, which translates to tourism revenue for the surrounding area.

According to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife survey for fiscal year 2011, TRNWR generated $159,000 in economic benefit to the surrounding area – Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, Madison, St. Charles (Mo.) and St. Louis (Mo.) counties – where visitors stayed over-

night in hotels, shopped at local businesses and ate at local restaurants.

The survey measured the impact in a 50-mile radius from the refuge.

According to that same survey, wildlife refuges across the country helped push $2.4 billion into local economies while also helping secure 35,000 private sector jobs.

John Mabery, TRNWR manager, said the popularity of bird watching attracts many of people to the area, especially during the winter months when visitors can observe eagles.

“Largely it’s a popularity of birding

and people’s interest in seeing migratory birds here on the refuge,” Mabery said.

But he said the work of Courtney Solum, TRNWR park manager, has brought the refuge more attention while also providing new ways for guests of the refuge to experience the wildlife and fauna of the area.

Solum said the refuge is a special place for Calhoun County and she likes showing people why it is worth visiting.

Bob Vetter opens the trap of a truck to release its load of corn at the Jersey County Grain Elevator in Hardin Monday evening. Harvest season has been busy for the grain elevator where employees have worked for 38 days straight. Employees worked Veterans Day Monday, and said they did not rememeber the last time they worked on the holiday. Due to late planting this year and the rainier harvest season, the elevator has been working longer into the year than normal. Traffic has slowed down since September and October when dozens of trucks would line County Highway 1 as they waited to dump their grains, of which farmers are seeing good yields.

Letter to the editor Encourages hospice care TO THE EDITOR: Would you purchase a movie ticket to see only the last minute of a film? No. But we face a similar situation in providing hospice care to the terminally ill.

While many Americans are taking advantage of hospice, an estimated 1.6 million during 2012, 35.5 percent of those people died or were discharged within seven days of admission to a hospice program.

The unique care offered by hospice is equipped to aid patients and their loved ones through the last months of life. Earlier access to hospice care can reduce emergency room visits and hospitalizations and significantly improve quality of life for patients and family caregivers.

But don’t take it from me. Listen to someone who is living it. Please go to our website, blessinghospital. org/hospice, and click on “Bill’s Story.” It’s a short video from Blessing Hospice & Palliative Care patient Bill Hrudicka. Bill came

to us and asked if he could share his story. It is powerful testimony about the comfort and peace available through hospice care, particularly when the care is sought at the most appropriate time.

In marking November as National Hospice & Palliative Care Month, I also ask that when you are with your loved ones this holiday season please take a moment and discuss each other’s end-of-life healthcare wishes. After 30 years of being privileged to provide care and support to the terminally ill and their loved ones throughout west central Illinois, we at Blessing Hospice & Palliative Care know this vital information is among the greatest gifts loved ones can share.

Illinois helping prisoners start Obamacare enrollment

When you exit prison in Illinois you’ll get your street clothes, a notice of when to check-in with your parole officer and a pamphlet about Obamacare.

The state’s prisons and county jails are taking a proactive approach to enrolling people, mostly into Medicaid, through the Affordable Care Act. They’re starting the process while prisoners are locked up.

“When the person is in custody, they’re not eligible for enrollment,” McLean County Sheriff Mike Emery told Illinois Watchdog. “The stance we’re taking here in McLean County…is that we’re starting the process with inmates to get them enrolled for health care.”

Local jails in Jersey and Pike counties have not been following a similar program. Jersey County Sheriff Mark Kallal said he heard about other counties giving inmates information about the Affordable Care Act so they could sign up after release, but unless it becomes mandated he does not intend to do the same in Jersey County, which also holds prisoners for Calhoun County.

Emery said his staff will fill out almost all of the paperwork for Obamacare so that once someone is released they can sign a few pages and be enrolled in Medicaid, or apply for private insurance. Most will go into Medicaid.

In Illinois’ prisons, inmates who are set to be released are told they could be covered by Medicaid well before their last day.

“Parole school in prisons serves as a primer on what to do upon release,” said Tom Shaer, Illinois’ prison spokesman for Illinois Department of Corrections. “IDOC informs inmates of their rights and opportunities under ACA, just as we inform them of all resources available to them in health care.”

Shaer said Illinois hopes to enroll its 28,000 parolees in Obamacare.

Most of them would be covered under Medicaid expansion.

“There are certain portions of IDOC’s inmate population who are currently Medicaid eligible — the over 65 population and our pregnant female population,” Shaer said.

Medicaid will not pay for care for

other inmates who currently serving sentences, he added.

Greg Sullivan, executive director of the Illinois Sheriff’s Association, said the key is where the inmate is sleeping.

“Federal rules say you cannot be on Medicaid and in jail or prison, but once you get out you are covered,” Sullivan said.

That even applies to short releases. “If we take you and put you in a hospital, you’re are still covered,” he said.

Sullivan said inmate health care is often the second largest cost for a county jail.

Counties are seeing Obamacare as a way to shift some of those health care costs from their budgets to the federal government.

“There will be some savings,” Emery said. “I don’t know if it’s going to be an immediate savings for county taxpayers.”

Illinois has added 114,000 people to its Medicaid rolls under Obamacare, while no one knows how many people have signed up for private insurance. Republican lawmakers expect to add as many as 500,000 people to Medicaid in the next year.

Obamacare is set to pay for all of the costs for three years (and 90 percent after that) for newly eligible Medicaid clients, mostly the young single men who are the same young men coming out of prison or jail.

Illinois spent nearly $12 billion on Medicaid last year. Republicans at the Capitol say Illinois can expect to spend $1 billion more on Medicaid next year, regardless of the extra federal cash. If the federal government pays less than 90 percent of the cost for the young men it is adding to Medicaid, Illinois’ Medicaid spending could skyrocket by more than $6 billion a year.

That office opened more than a year ago.

The second phase of the project was expected to seal the building to prevent damage from rain, snow and other undesirable weather conditions. Part of the consideration was installation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning for the building, but Wilschetz said he would not like to rack up utility bills while the building is vacant.

“I think we’re going to do as much as we can without having to heat and cool it, so that we don’t have those extra expenses in there,” Wilschetz said.

Mabery said the refuge is always looking for additional events to bring people to the national site, which in turn helps the local economies.

He said flooding was a major hindrance to visitor attendance this past year when in both April and June, the Mississippi River bend saw historic flooding levels. The refuge was closed due to the high water at the time, and it closed yet again in October when the federal government shut down with the U.S. Congress’s failure to pass a timely budget.

The second closure conflicted with the refuge’s open house which had been cancelled due to the shutdown. Mabery said the refuge is working on establishing a new date for the open house, which would also coincide with the announce-

Until then, the refuge manager said winter bird watching is in full swing, noting many guests have already visited the refuge to view winter water fowl and eagles.

“We’ve got large numbers of water fowl coming through right now in the area and a lot of bald eagles come with those, so the eagle watching is pretty good right now,” Mabery said. “It’s safe to say winter eagle watching is in full swing.”

Upcoming events are centered around the bird watching with lunch and learn, where visitors will eat lunch with park officials while they learn about the wildlife in the area before going on a nature walk.

Those events will occur in January and February.

“Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life.”

1 Thessalonians 4:11

The value of silence in our noisy and busy world is easy to overlook, and even though many of us would like a quieter environment, it can be almost impossible to find a truly quiet place in much of the modern world. Cars, trucks and motorcycles with loud mufflers are some of the worst offenders when it comes to disrupting what little serenity we have. Loud music and boisterous parties are perennial disturbers of the peace as well. Since loud and inconsiderate people are not likely to be convinced of the errors of their ways, holy men and women have always known the importance of sequestering themselves, going into caves or sojourning in the wilderness.

Some religious orders even take vows of silence. Finding quiet time each and every day pays big dividends to our spiritual and emotional health, and probably our physical health as well. We should consider also whether our lifestyle is contributing to a quieter world or if we are one of those vexatious disturbers of the peace.

These religious messages are published each week in the Calhoun News Herald as a service to our churches and are sponsored by the listed business firms.

In Loving Memory of Jason Sagez

September 8, 1989 - November 15, 2012

One year ago, In angels arms Jason was carried away.

On that sad November evening to heaven’s home oh so far away.

You never did leave without saying goodbye or see you later.

That’s the hardest part, we never got to say goodbye or “I love you”.

Oh to hear your voice again, but sometimes on a quiet day I can hear you, Come through the door and say, “Hey Granny What you doing?”

It would be great if we could have one more special Tuesday.

What I miss most of all are our long talks, and the secrets we shared.

Now God has you in his arms, we have you in our hearts.

Jason our memories of your love and laughter will not fade, for inside our hearts you will always stay.

But Jason you didn’t go alone, for part of us went with you that sad evening when God called you home.

Loved and missed everyday of our lives.

Love Grandpa and Grandma Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, And everyone who loved Jason

Local trainer offers advice for keeping fit through the holidays

By ROBERT LYONS Calhoun News-Herald The winter months can wreak havoc on a healthy body, but one local personal trainer said it doesn’t have to be that way.

The holidays are notorious for helping people pack on the pounds, but Karen Rose, of Mighty Rose Fitness, said the short, cold days can be just as detrimental to psyche as the waistline.

“I think this time of year, it’s not just your physical health that gets impaired, but the mental health.

Days tend to be much more grey and gloomy, and people tend to get more depressive,” Rose said. “That, to me, is one the No. 1 thing for winter. It’s not so much putting on the couple extra pounds that you can get rid of as soon as the snow goes away.”

On her Facebook page, Mighty Rose Fitness, Rose regularly posts workout routines which can be adapted for any fitness level, without any equipment.

Rose, who has been a personal trainer for nearly two decades, said food choice is important for maintaining a healthy waistline through the holiday season. But, she tries to refrain from using the word “diet.”

The many holiday parties, according to Rose, can be a tremendous obstacle to healthy food choices.

“I normally suggest having something to eat before they go, and then scoping out the veggie trays and fruits,” she said.

“Trying to stick to one or two glasses of a dry red wine is probably the way to go.”

Rose also has a cookbook available through her Facebook page, which she wrote. It is full of recipes and meal planning tips for a healthy lifestyle.

Rose’s clients range from young athletes to the elderly and everyone in between. She also teaches a class at the Jersey Community Hospital Wellness Center.

For more information, find Rose on her Facebook page, or call (618) 691-6500.

We honor and respect them, as well as mourn for those who gave their lives as an ultimate sacrifice. Continue dear Lord your protection and presence to those currently in military service.

■ Blessings from Belleview

by Chris Thomas ■ 217-734-9012

What another great weekend at Belleview Community Church. We had a great time at Family Movie Night and want to say thanks to all of you for coming. It was our humbled privilege to serve the community. Our church continues to grow and we are forever grateful. I want to remind you that we will not be meeting at our church this Sunday, November 17. Instead we will be at Kampsville School Gymnasium at 10:30 AM for the community worship experience. We want to invite you to join us. We want to send a birthday shout out to Michelle Bridges who celebrates her birthday on November 14.

I have experienced something in Calhoun County that I have never experienced in the 40 years of my life. I have heard about it, but I have never seen it in person. It was a beautiful fall night and we had our window opened and was getting ready for a good night’s sleep.

While watching a little television my wife heard a growl just outside the window, a growl unlike anything we have ever heard. A sound that we knew instantly was not our dog but was made towards our dog. Remembering the tales of the Calhoun wild when we first moved

here, I sprung to action. I picked up the flashlight and put on my boots and ventured warily outside. Amid the dimness of our porch light I was not able to see anything. I aimed the flashlight towards the dark shadows of our yard. Just a few short steps from our sidewalk, I saw a mass of grey. A took a few steps closer and shouted from the top of my lungs. Nothing. Our dog was in her doghouse and the dull grey let me know that it was not one of our two cats. I took a few steps closer and picked up a nearby pebble and tossed it. Still nothing. Did my dog find a victim and leave it in our yard like a trophy on display? I was finally able to get close enough to see that the mass of grey was the lifeless body of a possum. I found a hoe and poked the lifeless animal to ensure that it was in fact dead. It did not move. I carefully studied to make sure there were no signs of breathing and the light and shadows was playing tricks with my mind but there were no signs of breathing. I went inside to let my wife know about the latest victim of our dog. After a few minutes, I went outside to retrieve a shovel and to my surprise it was gone. I grabbed the flashlight to look inside

the doghouse and there was our dog sleeping soundly. The animal was nowhere to be found. There is an age old adage that we are most likely familiar with that says “All the glitters is not gold.” It implies that things are not what they appear to be. A truth that we are all too familiar with unfortunately. My dad shared this tidbit of wisdom with me, “If you give a person a rope long enough, they will eventually hand themselves.” You can learn a lot about a person by the things they do, say, or simply by their attitude.

As Christians, it is about how well we love God and love others. I have come to realize in my life that is not enough for one to say that they are a Christian, they must be one.

There is an old proverb that says “Too much talky-talky, not enough walky-walky.” An important element among our fellow man is trust.

It used to be a man’s word was his bond but we seem to have been hoaxed so many times that the lack of trust towards others have been diminished. Simply put, be who you say you are.

They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him. (Titus 1:16)

Finally I have begun to feel better. I still have to have oxygen almost 24-7, but I am able to semi clean house, do laundry, and run dishwasher. Redeye still does most of the cooking.

I have to get another scan of my liver late t his week, and go to my lung doctor next Monday.

First week of January, I have to go to Dr. Tan (cancer doctor) for another picture of my cancer, and then the next week, I go back to Dr. Tan to learn if the radiation did anything to stop or slow down the cancer. Everybody keep your fingers crossed.

Last week was very busy around here. The three Amigos, Reed, Ross, and Rowe spent nights here, enjoyed Grandpa’s delicious breakfasts, took showers and my washing machine was going almost 24-7. Ross helped Grandpa with breakfast several mornings. Another good male cook in the Schumann family.

Charlie Schleeper passed away Saturday, November 2, at Barnes Hospital. His visitation was

Friday, November 8, and his funeral was Saturday, November 9. Redeye and I want to express our most heartfelt sympathy to his wife, Carol, daughters, Sonya, Sherry, son, Chris, sons-inlaws, daughter inlaw,and grandchildren. I will never forget the night that Charlie ran up to me, when we were at the ball diamon in Kampsville, and said my name is Charles Alowys Schleeper, and I am the meanest kid in Kampsville. I answered that I had heard that. He was probably in early teens, and believe me he wasn’t kidding. Charlie enjoyed life whether it was attending a sporting even at the school, where it is rumored he went out on the floor and tried to choke a ref, hence Choking Charlie became his title.

He also loved working on and restoring old Vets, spending time at their home in Texas, yard sales, and his grandkids.

Last week we lost one of Kampsville’s best Village Clerks in Kampsville’s history. Helen

Nevius’s funeral was last Friday.

She was a neat lady and always had a smile and a hello for everyone. She will be missed.

Sympathy to her family, especially Jane Powell who served as a trustee for the Village of Kampsville.

Redeye and I enjoyed the Veteran’s breakfast, and program last Thursday at the Calhoun High School. Thanks to all who made it such a success.

The coffee was great.

Nina Wilson and Jeanie Harmon came by for a visit Sunday, and brought a beautiful fall floral arrangement and a gift certificate from the coffee drinkers, and friends at the Landing.

Thanks so very much. It is great too know that people do care.

Not much news. I am still more or less house bound. It is a real pain trying to drag an oxygen tank everywhere.

And how was your week?

Hope to see you next week.

Thanksgiving

By Dr. W.J. Thompson Dear Lord, my thanks I offer Thee For priceless gifts bestowed in me!

I use them constantly, and yet The Giver I sometimes forget!

Thanks for my eyes, dear Lord – I see The glories that encircle me.

While through my ears come speech and songs – The world of sound to me belongs!

My hands, with their swift sense of touch, Are daily blessings – means do much!

My voice, too is a gift from God -– A constant help along life’s road.

My mind, my heart, my soul – all three Are precious treasures, Lord, from Thee.

For life on this Thanksgiving Day, Accept my gratitude, I pray!

In Memory of Jason Sagez Sept. 8 , 1989 - Nov. 15 , 2012 th

th

We will always remember the stories you shared with us at work, such as the neverending love you had for your girlfriend, the huge amounts of fun you had hanging out with all of your friends in Calhoun County, and the great amount of respect that you had for your parents, brother, grandparents, and other family members that you bragged to us about. The biggest part of your life is a beautiful thing, but there are still exceptions that we all have to deal with that are not so good, such as being sick, getting cancer or diabetes, getting old, or losing a loved one. Every family will have to go through this unfortunately. Only God will even know why a talented young man with so much potential had to be taken away at such a young age. Words or tears will never heal the scars we all have from losing such a perfect young man we all enjoyed working with so much.

Our deepest sympathy goes out from the bottom of our hearts to the Sagez Family.

Annual Ecumenical Service Sunday Nov. 24 The Calhoun County Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service will be celebrated at the Batchtown United Methodist Church on Sunday evening, Nov. 24th, at 7 p.m. This year’s service will be officiated by Pastor Phil Grable (Batchtown Methodist), Pastor Johnny Taylor (Friendship Baptist--Hardin), and the Reverend Paul Frazier (Hardin Presbyterian).

The Calhoun Entertainment Company will once again be in attendance to sing a hymn or two. Refreshments and Fellowship will be available in the church basement immediately following the service.

This annual Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service began in the early 1980s when Fr. Dennis Kollross of the northern Calhoun County Catholic Churches and the Rev. Dan Johnson of the Presbyterian Churches got together and hoped that such a service would be unique, special, and important for the religious community. The services alternated between the Catholic and Presbyterian churches, with the Protestant minister preaching in the Catholic Church and the Catholic priest preaching at the Presbyterian church. Each choir would sing a hymn and the offering

collected would go to a specified charitable agency in Calhoun County, most often the Lutheran Child and Family Services outlet in Hardin.

Several years ago the format was changed to allow each minister to offer a brief homily, which made for a more diverse message and a faster-paced service. The collection at this year’s service will be once again designated for the Lutheran Child and Family Services. Donations of canned goods are also encouraged at this service.

The term “ecumenical” often raises eyebrows, but simply means a desire

provide additional financial help with the cost of these services for low income seniors.

Along with the health related programming, IVEDC will also assist with Reduced Fee License Plates (formerly ‘Circuit Breaker’) which offers a substantial discount on license plate fees to eligible senior citizens (65 years of age and older) and persons with disabilities.

Individuals interested in receiving help in applying for these services should contact their local Illinois Valley office: Macoupin County - (217) 8394431, Jersey County — (618) 4989521, Greene County (217) 9426824.

to establish or promote unity among churches. This ecumenical service is a way for people of different Christian churches to join together in a single voice of praise and celebration.

Pastor Phil Grable spoke on this year’s Ecumenical Service, “We would like everyone to know that you are invited. This service is for all faiths, be they Catholic, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptist, or even those that haven’t been to church in so long they can’t remember what they are. We want you to come out for this service and help us give thanks as a community of faith.”

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL | NEW BERLIN CLASS 1A SECTIONAL

Sectional title just out of Calhoun's reach SAM ELLIOTT Calhoun News-Herald The Lady Warriors fought hard, but the Calhoun High School volleyball team was edged by Liberty 25-10, 26-24 Thursday in the championship match at the New Berlin Class 1A Sectional.

Liberty pulled away early in the opening game and closed it out with a 15-4 run, but the Lady Warriors regrouped before the second.

"We've played better," Calhoun head coach Ann Gilman said. "It wasn't a night where we were able to make mistakes and we knew that going in."

Calhoun cleaned up its mistakes and took advantage of Liberty's in the second game, going on a 6-0 run to draw even at 16-16 after a kill

by Grace Baalman, a block by Sam Gerson and four Lady Eagles errors.

"Midway through that second game was when we finally started playing a little better," Gilman said.

Gilman called a timeout after Liberty pulled back ahead 19-16 and Calhoun came out on a 7-2 run to take a 23-21 lead. Four Lady Warriors put down kills during the run, including Gerson, Grace Baalman, Kassidy Klocke — who gave Calhoun its first lead of the match at 22-21 — and two by Emma Baalman.

But Liberty reached match point with a quick 3-0 run in response. The Lady Warriors drew even at 24-24 to force extra points, but a pair of Liberty kills ended the Calhoun rally and its volleyball season.

"I thought maybe once we had them down and scrambling in that second game we could finish it off, but they’re a good team," Gilman said. "They have just as many good hitters as I do."

The Lady Eagles also had a deafening crowd of vocal supporters in attendance, leaving Calhoun's young lineup to feel as though it was playing a true road match in a hostile environment.

"What are you going to do about that crowd? You can’t even hear yourself call the ball on the floor," Gilman said. "Kudos to their crowd, because I think that was good for five points right off the get-go for them."

Sophomore Emma Baalman led the Lady Warriors with 10 kills against Liberty while freshman Grace Baalman added five with six digs. Senior libero Allie Hurley led Calhoun with eight digs and sophomore setter Sydney White tallied 12 assists, a team-high five service points and four digs.

Filling in for senior Maddie Baalman — who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee during the Hardin Regional title match — White started both matches at the New Berlin

Sectional. She dealt out 24 assists during Calhoun's 25-20, 25-22 win against Triopia in the semifinals Tuesday, Nov. 5, despite not starting a varsity match all season.

"Sydney has the mental drive," Gilman said. "She wants to win, she's really quick, she can cover a lot of ground and just her will to win alone is going to help her step up to this level of play."

Most assists went to Grace Baalman, who finished with a match-best 11 kills against Triopia while adding 12 digs and 10 service points. Emma Baalman put down 10 kills and chipped in six service points.

The Lady Warriors took control of the opening game against Triopia with a 7-0 run that gave them an 18-14 lead. Gerson totaled three of her five kills during the strecth.

"When Sam's on, she's hard to stop," Gilman said. "She's got a really quick wrist snap and if she's having a good night, we're even better."

The second game was close throughout, with no lead ever larger than six points, but Calhoun never trailed after taking an 8-7 lead early.

Gilman called a timeout after Triopia pulled to within 24-22 late, but Grace Baalman's final kill secured the Lady Warriors a berth in the sectional championship match.

Calhoun's volleyball season ended just shy of the school's first sectional title. The Lady Warriors' 2013 campaign — which included the second Western Illinois Valley Conference championship of the past three years and a third-straight regional title — closes at 29-4-1. selliott@campbellpublications.net
