Structural issues increase courthouse cost By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald After a structural engineer report of the potential Calhoun County courthouse in Hardin, commissioners hope to keep costs low by using local craftsmen for some of the required work. Original estimates of the project presented to the board in September indicated the project could cost a total of $4.25 million including a 20 percent contingency, and with the addition of repairs based on the structural engineer’s report, that total rose to $4.6 million with a 20 percent contingency. The Calhoun County commissioners building and grounds committee met with the architect for the project, Tim Smith, and its owner’s representative, Bernie Loft, during a committee meeting Nov. 12 to discuss the report. Smith said parts of the building were in better condition than he expected, after reading the structural report which outlined four areas of

concern, including the roof framing, floor framing, exterior walls and the foundation. The architect said when he took his walkthrough of the building his greatest concern was masonry work on the walls which have deteriorated. He said some of the mortar could be wiped away with his finger, and he felt one spot where he thought he could move a brick. “His overall opinion was in good shape,” Smith said. “Where I found it, the mortar was actually getting to be powdery. I felt like I could almost kick a hole through it if I tried hard enough.” According to the report, structural engineer Christopher Whiting, Bacon Farmer Workman Engineering & Testing, Inc., noted the exterior walls of the building were “in good condition for their age.” However, the report states there were a few cracks and locations where the mortar has deteriorated which could be remedied with “selective brick replacement and tuck pointing the mortar joints.”

The walls will not perform well during a seismic event, the report adds, but conditioning them to sustain such a situation would not be economically feasible.

“Where I found it, the mortar was actually getting to be powdery. I felt like I could almost kick a hole through it if I tried hard enough.”

Tim Smith Architect The foundation of the building, most of which is sandstone, has deteriorated mortar and the “walls are showing signs of settlement likely due to deterioration,” the report states. Whiting stated in his report the foundation should receive a layer of concrete for stabilization and be underpinned.

Smith said the roof framing, according to the structural report, seems to be in better condition than other parts of the building. He said there are some signs the roof joists may be overstressed by five percent under the current building codes. “That’s pretty minimal to today’s codes,” Smith said, noting the roof would bear the stress it needs for the buildings proposed function. The floor framing, however, would need to be reinforced before people entered the building, the architect said. The report notes the existing floor joists “will be 44 percent overstressed and exceed the allowable deflection limit by 71 percent.” Smith said installing appropriate joists to handle the load would be the best option to fix the issue. Loft said the floor joists are a valid concern to be addressed. “I think that we could beef those joists up unless the bearing point is rotten or deteriorated,” Loft said. “If we think it’s going to be an issue, we can go to a heavier gauge metal stud to support those joists without

having to replace them.” The commissioners approved a repair to the roof earlier this year after water was found stagnant on the floor of the school after heavy rains. The stagnant water buckled part of the floor, which Smith said was going to be replaced with the courthouse project, and he said during that replacement, reinforcing the floor could be accomplished. The commissioners accepted a $1 million donation from Delford Richter in July to renovate the structure as a new courthouse in dedication to his father, Marvin Richter, who was a prominent figure in the agriculture industry. Smith said he believes the money may not be restricted by the prevailing wage law because it came from a private entity, and State’s Attorney Rick Ringhausen said he would research if that is true. The preliminary estimates of the project were broken into four phases with the first being the completion of the sheriff’s office. The second (See, COURTHOUSE, A2)

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun County Commissioners approved its tax levy for the coming year with an increase of 4.9 percent over last year’s totals. County Clerk Rita Hagen said she could only recommend following the same procedure as last year because of all the changes being made in the assessor’s office after the commissioners appointed Pat Langland to supervisor of assessments in September. “Unfortunately, it’s difficult to figure something on numbers I don’t have,” Hagen said. “She’s still in the process of redoing the whole county.” Langland and her deputies have been reassessing all the property in the county to bring assessments more in line with where they should be and to equalize the assessments for everybody. During a regular meeting Sept. 16, Langland explained to the board that all homes should be assessed at 33.33 percent of their value. Using an example, she said a $50,000 home would have an assessed value of $16,665. However, she said some homes were assessed at a much higher percentage while others were much lower, and using a sales ratio study detail list of 25 homes with figures completed by former assessor Brandi Kieffer, the low end of the spectrum was assessed at 5 percent of the home’s value while the high end was assessed at 137.5 percent. Since that meeting, Langland said her deputies have been a great help in finding new construction in the county and putting it on the tax rolls. Hagen said the assessments for the southern portion of the county have been completed, and the equalized assessed value – or the taxable value of property in the county – of the homes rose by 2.2 percent. “I’m not sure it’s going to stay because you have to go through a board of review process, and I think board of review is going to be lined out the door,” Hagen said.

CUSD school board levy requires truth in taxation hearing By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun Community Unit School District 40 annual levy approved during the regular school board meeting Nov. 18 will require a truth in taxation hearing before the next regular meeting in December. In 2012, the board levied $1.9 million in taxes to help pay for school district operations, but only received $1.8 million because the equalized assessed value (EAV) in the district was not as high as predicted. A levy is a request of tax sums, but a district is only issued as much money as the EAV can support. The levy this year is $2.17 million,

and though much of the levy remains the same, some parts of the levy have a higher request than normal, which requires the board to hold a truth in taxation hearing to explain the difference. Though education and tort immunity funds are going higher than the amount allowed before a truth in taxation hearing, Kate Sievers, Unit 40 superintendent, said the tax rate is lower than last year which may help the taxpayers. Last year’s rate was 5.19 and this year the rate is 4.684. “The reason the tax rate went down and the total levy is higher is because our EAV went up a little bit,” Sievers said. According to the certificate of tax

levy approved by the board Monday, education and tort immunity are the two largest portions of the levy with $899,146 and $715,000 requested, respectively. Education covers the salaries of teachers in addition to educational expenses while tort immunity deals mostly with insurance and liability issues. Supervisor of Assessments Pat Langland, who was appointed in September, has been working with her deputies to reevaluate a large number of homes throughout the county in an attempt to bring them all in line with each other and create fairness. Landland has completed those (See, CUSD, A2)

Art guild hosts annual sale Nov. 23 By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Calhoun Art Guild will host its third annual art sale Nov. 23 and 24 at Stone Bridge Valley Art Center where visitors can purchase works created by local artists in Calhoun County. Michelle Berg-Vogel, art guild member, said the sale will have a variety of artistic pieces including decorative gourds made by Kim Dublo, a Hamburg resident. “It’ll range the whole gamut from jewelry and silk scarves to paintings and wood carvings and of course the gourd art,” Berg-Vogel said, noting some of the gourds, wood carvings and glass will be made into Christmas ornaments.

Berg-Vogel said there will be some new artists this year along with a number of artists who showcased their work during the regular art shows at Stone Bridge Valley north of Michael. She said the sale is scheduled for people to purchase gifts for the holiday season and also eat some Christmas cookies and other treats while speaking to many of the artists at the sale. The Stone Bridge Valley art studio will not be open for artistic activities, but it will be available for a tour to those looking to see what Stone Bridge Valley has to offer. Stone Bridge Valley offers Friday night art gatherings for those interested in meeting artists and creating pieces, and on Saturdays has been offering

classes to school age children to get them interested in artistic expression. Berg-Vogel said the guild has begun planning for next year, during which they hope to have group shows in addition to the group’s annual art sale. She said the guild also intends to get more involved with the kids classes at Stone Bridge Valley Art Center. Artists expressed interest in teaching kids how to make art in their specific media to promote art at young ages. She said specific artists have not been designated for the shows or the classes just yet as the planning is still in its early stages. The Calhoun Art Guild art sale will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and from noon to 4 p.m. C

Local man seeking state office By ROBERT LYONS Calhoun News-Herald A Jerseyville man has announced he will run for the State House of Representatives in the 100th District. Josh Evans, a native of Carrollton, said he’s running on the Democratic ticket, but is not bound by any party’s values. “This is a time we need someone who’s a street fighter who’s willing to go after interests,” Evans said. “I don’t think that transcends into one party or another, I think it’s just the individual person.” The state’s 100th District is comprised of Jersey, Calhoun, Pike, Greene, Morgan counties, as well as parts of Macoupin and Sangamon

counties. Republican C.D. Davidsmeyer of Jacksonville currently represents the 100th District. Evans said, as of now, no one is challenging him in the March Primary, and he anticipates being the Democratic candidate come next November. He already has stances on several hot topics in the state, including the budget, pension reform and concealed carry, which he favors. “I consider myself a conservative and I don’t run from that because I’m in the Democratic party,” Evans said. “If you’re looking for my priorities, the district comes first and party comes second, every time.” The district, he said, is need of a representative who can recognize and stand up for the issues facing its

residents. That is the No. 1 reason Evans decided to announce his candidacy, he said. “When Jim Watson resigned, I realized we lost a fierce advocate, I mean someone who really cared about the district, really understood the district and someone who could advocate for us,” he said. Evans enlisted in the Air Force at age 17, and served tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. He said he has been witness to extreme wasteful government spending and hopes to work with lawmakers to develop solutions to the problem. Evans plans to deliver his first three speeches as a candidate on Friday, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Jacksonville courthouse. At 11 a.m. he will speak at the Scott County

courthouse in Winchester, followed a speech at Pittsfield’s Pike County courthouse at 12:45 p.m. Then at 6:30 p.m., he is hosting a kickoff party at Goetten’s Oasis in Carrollton. He has worked on campaigns with other Greene County natives, including Matt Goetten’s bid for Congress and Craig Grummel’s run for Greene County state’s attorney. Evans is married to Jersey County native and former fair queen Ashely Rowling. Evans graduated from Carrollton High School in 2005. He has a bachelor’s degree from Southern Illinois University Carbondale and is finishing his law degree at Saint Louis University. He currently works for Wittman and Lorton, P.C.

Clendenny waives preliminary The Red Flag Restaurant hearing, arraignment set Err on the I By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The preliminary hearing in Calhoun County Circuit Court for a man charged with reckless homicide in October was waived Nov. 19 and he was set for further arraignment Dec. 10 at 9:30 a.m. Randall Clendenny was the driver of a Ford F-250 truck that rolled over near Mozier Hollow Road north of Hamburg Oct. 20. Six passengers were in the vehicle including April L. McKee, who was killed as a result of the rollover. Clendenny turned himself in Oct. 23 after he learned of the charges and his bond was set at $200,000. The bond was reduced later that day to $100,000. He was released after posting bond.

(Continued from A1) assessments for the southern part of the county, but other areas of the county have not been completed. County Clerk Rita Hagen said because there is no final figure, it is difficult to calculate the annual levy, but Hagen estimated the EAV throughout the county could increase by around 2 percent. Additionally, Sievers said she met with Central States Bus Sales, a company out of Fenton, Mo., about changes to the bus fleet for the district. Representatives of the company gave a presentation to Sievers and other administrators regarding different buses available, as well as the warranties on them. Sievers said she began seeking other bids with similar warranties and bus qualities, and hopes to report her findings to the board in January.

(Continued from A1) phase, discussed during the meeting Nov. 12, would seal the building, tear down the addition on the east side and climatize the interior. The phase is expected to cost around $1.2 million including contingency costs, and Loft said some of the work could be handled by local people to reduce costs and provide local support. Additional phases would allow some offices to move into the

Evidence suggested McKee was not wearing a seat belt as she was partially out of the truck when it came to rest on its passenger side in a corn field south of Mozier Hollow Road. Calhoun County Sheriff Bill Heffington said Clendenny backed out onto the highway and lost control of the vehicle, leading to the fatal crash. It is not clear whether alcohol was a factor in the crash as toxicology results are pending. Medical assistance from Pike and Calhoun counties responded to the scene, but only Clendenny, Leanne M. Clendenny and Milisha Y. Crowder received treatment. Other passengers – Cody M. Collard and Thomas L. McKee, husband of the deceased – were not listed as receiving medical treatment, the sheriff said.

Board member Mark Eberlin asked if the bids take into consideration the routes different buses take throughout the school year and whether certain buses may be better for those routes. Sievers said she gave the companies an idea of the milage the buses travel throughout the year. Sievers said she would like the bus warranties to cover issues they regularly face, and Greg Weishaupt said due to the hills in the county, transmission coverage would be needed.

building with an emphasis on the circuit clerk’s office, state’s attorney’s office, judge’s chambers, jury room, courtroom and court reporter’s office. The total estimate for the project with contingencies included is a little more than $4.6 million. During a regular meeting Nov. 18, the county commissioners said they would wait for Loft to review the phases of the project line by line and take action based on his recommendation at a later date.

Commissoners (Continued from A1) The county clerk said if the changes are similar throughout the county, the EAV could increase by around 2 percent overall, which could increase the money received from the levy by around $267,000. The commissioners approved to follow its levy percentage of 104.9 percent of last year’s levy. The levy total does not require a truth in taxation hearing. Additionally, Chairman Doug Wilschetz asked County Engineer Barry Webster if it would be possible to stripe County Highway 1 from Brussels to the Brussels Ferry. At night or when the road gets wet, the chairman said the road gets quite dangerous. “A lot of people drive that road, and if there’s a little bit or rain or something down there, people can’t see anything on that highway,” Wilschetz said. Webster said it would cost the county a lot less to stripe the middle of the road without striping the sides because the solid line is more expensive. He said striping will also be based on the weather, as it would need to be done before

it gets too cold. Wilschetz asked if reflectors could be installed in the middle as well to provide added security to those driving the road during the darker times of the day. Webster said the reflectors are easy to install but are quite costly, even for the relatively short length of road on which they’d be installed. He said reflectors would also have to be removed when the county repaves that section of the highway in a few years. In other business, the commissioners: n Approved the minutes of the previous meeting and the bills. n Approved tax deed paperwork of property bought through the Calhoun County trustee. n Approved to pay an outstanding bill of $20,000 to Evan Lloyd Associates, the architect firm conducting work for the new courthouse in Hardin. n Took no action on a liquor license application filed by Linda Basden because the license for which she applied was not available. The commissioners said they would keep it on record in case one does become available.

struggled to find a lead to this true story about my family on our road trip out to Wyoming to visit my uncle when I was around 8 years old, so I won’t belabor it. This is my family’s story of the Red Flag Restaurant. It was late that night in South Dakota where exits for gas, let alone food, are hundreds of miles apart. Shaking from the hunger growling in our stomachs, we stopped at a gas station for directions and my mother asked the attendant for a good place to eat. With a finger directed out the glass window, he motioned across the street to a small brown building where my mom was told the restaurant served “anything you want in a dish.” This was the first red flag, but delirious from our starvation, we trucked across the street for some grub. The floor was slick and there may as well have been tumbleweeds rolling through the desolate room with several tables under which stood creaky wooden chairs. The lone waitress sat us at a circular table where I faced away from the glass window looking out across the street at our disheveled van and the gas station. And as the woman laid halfwashed silverware – red flag number two – on the table, she looked my dad square in the eyes and asked, “Do you really want to eat here?” Now, any reasonable human would have left the establishment at this point. But clouded by our hunger and for the sake of this true story, we did eat there. My brother, Ben, is a picky eater. He always has been and even at 24 years old he only eats his cheeseburgers plain, and that was the same case the fateful day at the red flag restaurant in South Dakota. With the sandwich almost to his mouth, a gangly man in a camou-

flage shirt and hat walked into the restaurant, the jingle side of of a bell alerting Crossen us to his presence. BY BOB My brother was CROSSEN immediately entranced by the man’s lengthy mullet, the greasy strands shimmering in the dull glow of the overhead lights. Staring endlessly at this majestic work of art, Ben twisted himself in his seat to observe the unkempt masterpiece until he fell out of his chair. During the tumble, he squeezed the buns of the burger together so hard the patty propelled itself out from between the buns like a rocket, landing on the greasy floor where my dad said the disc of meat slid “like a hockey puck on ice.” Ben wailed from the fall while my mother tended to his bruises. My dad chased the burger across the restaurant where he began dusting it off with napkins from another table, and I just sat there amazed by those flowing, hypnotic locks while I ate my cool hotdog – yet another red flag. We didn’t stay much longer, but Ben insisted he take his burger in a take-away box at my parents reluctance. But before hitting the road, my dad decided to have a few words with the attendant who began our journey with his strange advice. And a little ways down the highway after filling up for gas while Ben was fast asleep, my dad questioned why my mom took advice from the attendant in the first place as he launched Ben’s burger out the window. “The guy has ONE tooth,” my dad said, noting he heard it rolling around when talking to the man, “and I’m pretty sure it was a Chicklet!” –––––––––––––––––––––––––– Bob Crossen is a Calhoun NewsHerald reporter, originally from Springfield.

“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting.” Matthew 6: 16

There are lots of good reasons to limit our intake of food, ranging from health and financial reasons to emotional and spiritual benefits. An ancient idea that has recently gained traction is the practice of fasting. Instead of trying to limit one’s calories each and every day, some scientists are proposing the idea of Alternate-Day Fasting or ADF. ADF regimens typically allow the person (or animal, lots of experiments have been done using rats and mice) to eat whatever he or she wants one day and then requires them to fast or consume a very limited number of calories the next day. More research needs to be done, but preliminary findings are promising, suggesting that ADF may reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease and even cancer. Some are even suggesting we could live longer if we followed an ADF regimen. But, how might such a regimen benefit us emotionally and spiritually? Fasting and self-mortification can obviously be taken to extremes where they become unhealthy and even life-threatening. But, most of us suffer from the opposite problem: we are too selfindulgent. Delayed gratification and a sense of accomplishment is one of the byproducts of a successful fast. Eating can bring momentary pleasure but controlling one’s appetites gives a deeper sense of lasting joy. – Christopher Simon

Since 1993, more than 100 million boys and girls in over 130 countries have experienced God’s love through the power of simple shoebox gifts from Operation Christmas Child. Last year Grace Baptist Church was able to send out 90 shoe boxes. This year they were able to send 1000 shoe boxes. Each shoe box has several items ranging from tooth brushes to toys.

Not only do the children receive gifts placed in the boxes but they receive a Bible and are told about the Greatest Gift of All, Jesus Christ. Pastor Barnes would like to thank all who participated in making this happen. Next year we plan on doing more. Because of Operation Christmas Child we have an opportunity to make an eternal difference in people’s life.

■ Blessings from Belleview by Chris Thomas ■ 217-734-9012

We had a great time at the community worship in Kampsville. We want to express our deepest appreciation for those of you who have come out to join us this past Sunday. It is such a thrill for us to meet new people. We are already thinking about our next possible community worship. This Sunday, we will be celebrating Thanksgiving at BCC with a communion and a dinner after church. You are invited to join us for worship and fellowship. I also want to send an anniversary shout out to Bonnie and Jessie Tolbert. Does it seem that each time we hit cloud nine, the storms start to come? A few weeks ago, we had a wonderful weekend and I felt like I was just walking on cloud nine. While working in the shed my wife came out to me in a panic. As she was breathing heavily from her run, she exasperatingly said, “I hear water under the house!” I quickly dropped what I was doing and pulled away the panel blocking the crawlspace. What I heard made my heart sink. It was the sound of free flowing water and a quick view underneath revealed a puddle of water slowly expanding. As I got down on fours with a flashlight in hand, I saw the water rushing from underneath the house. My heart dropped on this Sunday afternoon. While I have been in Calhoun

County for a year and a half, there was still much I needed to learn, like where I can find a plumber. I ran to the water shutoff near the road and sat down and breathed a sigh of relief. We now had no water. I thought of my children who will now go without a bath tonight. Our son Mitchell was not happy. He likes a bath. He will grab his boats and happily jump into the soapy suds and pretend that he was a pirate sailing the seven seas. We drove down to the church and filled up pot after pot of water so that we could have supper and the necessary water for flushing. We called a few people in the church hoping that they could give us advice on whom to call. A beautiful, calm, and peaceful day turned hectic as we scrambled to find a solution to a problem. As the sun set, my wife and I relegated ourselves to defeat and was ready to throw in the towel until the next morning. As Monday morning dawned, the clouds had now diminished the sunshine of the day before and a like fog swirled around us. It was eerily symbolic of the emotional experience that we were enduring. The weather called for rain and falling temperatures. Luckily, by the help of one of our church members, we were able to procure a plumber to come and fix the leak. I stood by as the plumber climbed

under the house and the raindrops began to fall. I started to talk to him. I have a desire. I want to meet people. I want to invite them to church. I want to know more about the community my family and I called home. I wanted to share our blessings of life with those we meet. As his request, I marched in the rain to turn the water back on after his finished repair. After a few more adjustments, the problem was fixed. I share this story with you reader to let you know that every obstacle brings opportunities. The way to find those opportunities is to not focus on the obstacles. Before he left, I watched the water drop from the bill of his hat as we stood in the rain. I invited him to come to church. He smiled in return and asked me when we begin. I extended my hand to his and thanked him graciously for coming to fix the problem. Amid the obstacle, I received an opportunity to make a new friend and invite someone to come to church. Every one of us has different obstacles and in each of those obstacles, every one of us will have opportunities. Are you faced with an obstacle? Look for the opportunity. Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel. (Philippians 1:12)

Sympathy go out to the family of Sonny Hausmann, whose funeral was Monday. We received lots of strong winds and some rain on Sunday. I am thankful my home is still standing and sorry for those who

lost their homes. Birthday greetings go out to Margaret Zipprich. Family members had a surprise birthday party for Jason Oden Saturday evening. I was unable to attend.

Myra came and got me Friday. We went to Jerseyville and enjoyed lunch together. I really enjoy getting out and seeing something different.

Volleyball squad keeps Baalman signs with SLU consistently winning

athletes and they're great to coach." The Lady Warriors will lose an important senior class before next season, but that hasn't stopped the consistent winning at Calhoun before. There were power hitters like Morgan Stein and Jill Brackett to replace following 2011 and a top defensive player in Kailyn Baalman and hitters Courtney Squier and Shelby Hayn to replace after 2012, but the Lady Warriors just reload and the wins just keep coming. They've found the winning formula in Hardin.

"It helps that my assistant coach is the St. Norberts coach and my sister is the public school coach," Gilman said. "I have two people who know what the high school program looks like and that helps because they're getting them prepared at the younger level. Two quality coaches at the younger grades makes a huge difference for the high school program." Quality feeder programs and a high school team for which consistently winning has become the norm? Just means more and more wins to come. selliott@campbellpublications.net

Calhoun freshman Grace Baalman poured in a game-high 30 points in her high school basketball debut, leading the Lady Warriors to a 65-44 win against Brown County in a Western Illinois Valley Conference game Monday in Mount Sterling.

Sophomores Kassidy Klocke, Emma Baalman and Courtney Hollan added nine, seven and six points, respectively, while Vanessa Markert led Brown County with 20 points. Calhoun (1-0, 1-0 WIVC) will tip off at the 16th annual Southwestern

Thanksgiving Tournament against the host Lady Piasa Birds at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. The Lady Warriors will face Highland's junior varsity squad at 6 p.m. Tuesday before capping tournament play with games against Gillespie and Wesclin Saturday, Nov. 30.

Young Lady Raiders edged in opener Brussels hosts Pike County Conference Tourney game Thursday SAM ELLIOTT Calhoun News-Herald Freshman Baylee Kiel scored a game-high 25 points in her first appearance with the Brussels High School girls basketball team, but the Lady Raiders fell victim to an early North Greene run and lost in a 74-42 decision Monday in White Hall. "Baylee's an all-around ball player. She can do it all," Brussels head coach Steve Schulte said. "I expected probably 15 to 20 [points] out of her. It takes her a little bit to get warmed up, so I played her some in the [junior varsity] game. Once she gets going, she's pretty much money. She doesn't miss." Classmate Alexa Pikesley added six points for the Lady Raiders, who feature a roster that includes eight freshmen among 14 total players. "A lot of that game, we had four freshmen on the floor — probably for over half that game," Schulte said. "That slow start got us. A lot of that was nerves." North Greene opened the game on a 13-0 run and led 20-1 through the first quarter, putting Brussels in an early deficit and trailing 40-19 at halftime. The Lady Raiders begin Pike County Conference Tournament play at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday on the road against Western. Brussels hosts a PCC Tournament game against Seymour for its home opener at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. PCC Tournament play continues at 6 p.m. Friday against Liberty in Griggsville and concludes Saturday in Payson. selliott@campbellpublications.net

Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun High School senior Maddie Baalman made her college decision official, signing her Letter of Intent to play softball at St. Louis University Wednesday, Nov. 13. "It's a great feeling having everything picked out," she said. "I'm glad I didn't have to wait until the last minute." Wednesday was the first day high school athletes could sign with college programs, but Baalman said she made up her mind on joining

the softball squad at SLU about one month ago. "That was always where I wanted to go because they've got great academics," Baalman said. "I love the coach there and it's still kind of close to home." Baalman is part of a four-player class signed by SLU Wednesday. "Maddie is a talented pitcher who will bring depth and diversity to our program,” SLU head coach Christy Connoyer said. “She will be a terrific complement to our pitching staff, as she mixes pitches well. Maddie can hit and play defense and she truly enjoys every minute of being on the field."

Last time she was on the softball field for Calhoun, Baalman compiled a 21-4 season with a 0.25 earned-run average and 321 strikeouts as a junior. A torn anterior cruciate ligament sustained this past volleyball season will likely keep Baalman sidelined her senior season, but she's hopeful for a speedy recovery. "Right now I have absolutely no pain whatsoever," Baalman said. "I feel like I can run and jump and do everything, but obviously I can’t. I have surgery in two weeks and then, six months after that, I’ll be back." selliott@campbellpublications.net

It's no secret that Calhoun High School has become a Class 1A powerhouse for girls athletics the past few years. The Lady Warriors softball The Sam Antics team has been By Sam Elliott to one state tournament and was twice edged in super-sectionals in the past three years. The girls basketball team has competed in sectional and supersectional matchups the past two years. Then there's the school's volleyball program, which just capped a 29-4-1 season with an appearance in the New Berlin Class 1A Sectional title match. All these girls do is win. The program's past three seasons have produced three regional championships, a pair of Western Illinois Valley Conference titles and an incredibly impressive winning percentage better than 75 percent. Ann Gilman's teams have combined for a 75-21-3 record through her three seasons leading the program. The Lady Warriors bowed out of the postseason in the sectional semifinals the past two years before taking things one step farther, reaching the sectional title match, this season in New Berlin. "It's a little bit of coaching and a lot of having the right players," Gilman said. "It's just putting the right players out there and getting the chemistry going. It's hard to lose with that group of girls. They're great
