School board seeks energy efficiency grant for boiler By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald Brussels schools moved forward with an application for an energy efficiency grant to replace a dated boiler at the high school during a regular meeting Nov. 19. Superintendent Mark Martin expressed hesitance about applying for the grant after the last regular meeting because of financial constraints on the school district. The district’s budget for the year has much less cushion than it has had in years past, which led to a fiscally conservative approach to repair projects “I wasn’t really positive about moving forward just because the money is so tight,” Martin said, “but as we talked, the board – in

our conversations – identified a couple of areas they think probably should be looked at.” One of the problem areas is an old boiler at the high school. The boiler to be replaced is more than 60 years old, Martin said, and still runs on fuel oil to heat the building. By replacing it with a newer, energy efficient boiler the district could cut down on the oil expense. Martin said he searched around for quotes regarding the costs for projects before committing to an application for matching grants. The grant would cover half the project cost and the district would be liable for the remaining expense. The board agreed to move forward with the boiler replacement, and the superinten-

dent said he is working with an architect to draft the grant application to fund the replacement. The district would seek bids on a new boiler if it receives the grant, and Martin did not release estimate figures to keep the bidding fair. Martin said the industrial tech building is also in need of repairs as its windows and doors are not tightly sealed. Because of the poor insulation, Martin said the building is notorious for being exceedingly cold in the winter. “The siding is bad. The windows are bad. There’s hardly any insulation in the building,” Martin said. “So we started looking at those two possibilities both needing attention.” Additionally, the school board approved

its annual levy which will not require a truth in taxation hearing as the requested amount is not more than five percent greater than last year’s extension. The levy extension is the money the district receives while the levy is a request for tax funds. Preliminary numbers suggest the equalized assessed value of homes in the southern part of the county will increase around two percent. In other business, the school board: n Approved the minutes of the previous meeting and the bills. n Approved a policy regarding bullying and harassment. n Thanked the Calhoun Ferry Company for refunding the district $90 for ferry costs incurred by the district.

Conservation police remind hunters of deer stand safety By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald Illinois Department of Natural Resources encourages hunters to follow safety procedures not necessarily dedicated to the use of weapons throughout the season, but also other hunting equipment. Sgt. Mark Wagner, conservation police officer, said the region’s most frequent accidents involve hunters falling from tree stands when they begin hunting each year. “Tree stand accidents are by far our most common type of accident that we have,” Wagner said. “I think we’ve had one we know of in Calhoun County, an archery accident where somebody fell and was injured.” Some hunters leave their tree stands attached to the trees yearround, which can create safety hazards as trees expand and contract with the change of the seasons. Wagner said the straps of a tree stand also suffer wear and tear throughout the year due to fluctuations in the weather, noting hunters should swap the straps out more often if they intend to leave the stand up all year. Sgt. Wagner said there were three incidents involving tree stand accidents in his area during the first firearm deer hunting season Nov. 22 through Nov. 24. He said two of the accidents occurred in Macoupin County where he said one of the tree stands was self-made. He said the material used to make the tree stand had deteriorated, making it unstable and unfit for use. He said the individual did suffer an injury from the stand’s collapse. “All the timber was rotten, and he fell and broke his leg,” Wagner said. Regarding an accident in Greene County, he said the strap of a tree stand broke. The individual was taken to the hospital, but suffered only minor injuries from the fall. Wagner said because the individual was taken to the hospital, conservation police had to investigate the case. He said hunters can take proactive measures to ensure their safety in the tree stands. “Replace the straps on their tree stands if they’re going to leave them out year-round,” Wagner said. “The one was homemade and it was very evident that all the boards were rotten and should have been replaced or rebuilt. The other ones, the straps, they left the tree stand hanging there for several years and the straps rotted, so when they climbed up and put some pressure on it, the straps broke. “You need to, one, take your stand down every year, or two, replace the straps.” Wagner said there have been violations regarding permits but aren’t out of the ordinary, and issues regarding sick deer are not as prevalent as last year when epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) led to the death or more than 2,000 deer throughout the state. The virus generated a high fever in the deer population, causing them to flock to rivers and other bodies of water where they are often found dead due to bursting capillaries in their organs as a result of the high fever. The prevalence of those diseases have diminished greatly this year as there was not a severe drought, Wagner said. “Last year, because of the drought, that really pushed our numbers up through the roof,” Wagner said. The next firearm deer hunting season is Dec. 5 through Dec. 8, which also coincides with the first muzzleloader deer season.

Cheryl Clough threads beads onto a thread Saturday afternoon at the Calhoun Art Guild Art Sale at Stone Bridge Valley. Clough is the newest member of the Calhoun Art Guild. She has been creating jewelry for around three years, and recently moved into the business side to sell her work.

Creative culture: Calhoun Art Guild sale promotes local artistic talent or another.” Dublo creates the art from the ground level by raising the gourds at her home in Hamburg where they are harvested each year and dried. The drying process can take up to a year, she said, and when the gourd is ready, she’ll begin the design process. She said most people approach her with ideas for designs and she’ll spend time finding the perfect gourd for the project before etching it into the husk. She said she doesn’t like painting onto the gourds, but rather enjoys giving them a texture, making it appealing to both sight and touch. She said the artistic outlet has always been available to her in times of need, and she cannot see giving up the art form, even if it fails to make her money. Similarly, Cheryl Clough, Carrollton resident and newest Calhoun Art Guild member, said jewelry is a part of her life after crafting it for approximately three years. Though she’s always enjoyed seeing and wearing jewelry, she said her interest in creating it was piqued when she went to a studio in St. Louis with her sister, who is a glass blower. Clough took a class in bracelet making at the studio for fun and it grew into a hobby she has continued since then. “I’ve taken classes for about three years, but I’ve really only been in business for about six to eight months,” Clough said. She said she likes how old of an art form jewelry is and how people can adorn themselves with unique works. Clough said a friend of hers introduced her to the (See, ART GUILD, A2)

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald It was difficult to move around the room at the Calhoun Art Guild Art Sale Saturday when a flood of people visited Stone Bridge Valley to browse and purchase art crafted by Calhoun County creators. From wood carvings to glassware and jewelry, the variety of items caught the eye of many visitors who were shopping for Christmas gifts and for themselves. “I really like the gourds. They’re my favorite,” Diana Franklin, Pike County resident, said. “Her work is just so good that I can’t resist it. I always have to come and see.” Franklin, who has been to the sale before, said the diversity of items and the talent on display is not as surprising as it was when she first visited the sale, but she visits every year for the gourd art. Kim Dublo, the creator of the gourd art, is a Hamburg resident who said she takes her work to shows out of state to expose other parts of the country to the art being done in Calhoun County. She said many people didn’t even know she crafted the pieces until the formation of the Calhoun Art Guild. The gourd artist said the guild has been influential in motivating her to do her work and to inspire creative designs. “It’s helped me as an artist because I got to meet other like-minded people which actually helps you think in a way of artistic means,” Dublo said. “The excitement is there. If you’re not into it, and you come and hang out with us long enough, you’re going to be into it one way

Tickets to a steak dinner hosted by the Old Fill Inn Station in Batchtown are still available and the proceeds will go towards purchasing Christmas toys for local children. Tonya Brown, heading the Angel Tree operation for the county, said there are still plenty of $25 tickets available for the event scheduled Dec. 6 and 7. “They can get a ticket through me, or they can buy them through The Fill Inn,” Brown said. “They can even buy them the day of. We prefer they call ahead so we have enough steaks ordered.” In October, Brown took up the initiative because the Baalman Toy Drive struggled to raise enough money to fund the program this year. Brown held a charity yard sale last year to help supplement the drive’s funding, but this year financial struggles continued to plague the toy drive. With little time to raise the money for toys to give to parents for their children, Brown said she

“They can get a ticket through me, or they can buy them through The Fill Inn.”

Tonya Brown Head of Angel Tree contacted businesses in the area to help find donations. The organizer of the program said AutoCenters Nissan in Wood River, Bethalto Computer Specialists and Edward Jones in Godfrey have all set up drop boxes for toys which will be brought to Calhoun County. But locally, The Old Fill Inn Station is doing its part to help the community by hosting a steak dinner to raise money so toys can be purchased for the program. The $25 ticket includes a 16 ounce steak, baked potato, slaw or a salad and coffee or tea. Brown began work in charity and fundraising to give back to the community after fundraisers helped her pay for multiple surgeries undergone by her son. In addition to the charity yard sale last year, Brown also held a benefit so girls could purchase prom dresses cheaply and enjoy prom night without the financial concern of purchasing a dress. Those interested in donating, either monetarily or with toys, are encouraged to contact Brown at (618) 535-5848 or visit one of the drop off locations in Wood River and Bethalto. She said families looking for help getting toys for their family can apply for the program by contacting Brown. She said the children have to live in the individual’s home, locally, and the family may not be receiving aid from another toy drive program. “I’m being really strict because if they’re getting help through Lutheran Family or Toys for Tots, I’m not going to be able to help them because I want to be able to help the ones that aren’t getting anything at all,” Brown said. “I want to help the ones that can’t get the help.” Applications are due by Dec. 5, Brown said, so she has a head count on those in need.

Illinois State Fire Marshal urges residents to follow fire safety measures during Thanksgiving holiday Office of the State Fire Marshal recommends consumers who prefer this method of turkey frying to follow the following guidelines: 1. Keep the turkey fryer in FULL VIEW while burner is on. 2. Do not leave unattended fryers as many units do not have thermostat controls. 3. Place turkey fryer in an open area AWAY from all walls, fences,

or other structures, and on a flat surface to reduce accidental tipping. 4. Never use the turkey fryer INDOORS, ON, UNDER, or close to a garage, breezeway, carport, porch, or any structure that can catch fire. 5. Completely thaw (USDA says 24 hours for every 4 to 5 pounds) and dry turkey before cooking. Wet turkeys can produce

excessive hot oil splatter when added to the oil. 6. Cover bare skin with protective clothing when adding or removing food from the fryer. 7. Check the oil temperature frequently. 8. Never let children or pets near the fryer when in use and after the turkey is removed; the cooking pot can remain dangerously hot for hours.

9. To avoid spill over, do not overfill the fryer. 10. Use well-insulated potholders or oven mitts when touching pot or lid handles. 11. Never use water to extinguish a grease fire. If a fire occurs, call 9-1-1 immediately. For additional home fire safety information please visit the OSFM website at: www.sfm.illinois.gov.

Schwartz announcing candidacy for ROE 40 superintendent David Schwartz is announcing his candidacy for the Democratic nomination of the Regional Superintendent of Schools for Calhoun, Greene, Jersey and Macoupin counties (ROE #40).

The touching climax is based on Dickens’ belief that the ills of a greedy world can be healed by brotherhood and unselfishness. The colorful scenery and elaborate costumes faithfully recreate the Victorian period. Exceptional voices, lively dancing and dazzling special effects like the mysterious spinning bed combine to

Congratulations to Gilbert and Shirley (Murphy) Kinder who celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary on Saturday evening. A party was held in their honor at the Brussels American Legion Hall, hosted by their children and grandchildren. Many family members and friends were in attendance for the buffet dinner and to help them celebrate. Gilbert and Shirley were married on November 23, 1963 at Zion Lutheran Church in Batchtown by Rev. Dave Little. They are the parents of three children: Barb Tepen, Tammy (Kent) Schulze and Keith (Rachelle) Kinder. Grandchildren are Jodi (Louie) Plummer, Jr. Brent Schulze, Courtney and Lucas Tepen, Kaitlin, C. J., Nick, Logan, Macie and Tyler Kinder. Great-grandchildren are Aiden and Kinsley Plummer.

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

BCC was truly a thankful place for me to be this past Sunday. We continue to experience growth and we were blessed by two visitors. We enjoyed a delicious Thanksgiving feast with our church family. This past week, I was in Iowa with a group of fellow pastors for a time of renewal, refreshment, and encouragement and it was a much needed gathering. I do want to express my deepest and humblest gratitude for the invitation to share a few words at the Ecumenical Service but my schedule would not allow it. Lord willing, I will be glad to participate next year. I want to wish Delza Osterman a happy birthday on December 4. Thanksgiving is a matter of perspective. Think about it dear reader. Are you thankful for paying taxes? Have you ever thought that paying taxes means that it is highly likely that you have a job? Too often as we go about our journey in life, our perspective determines if we are thankful or not. For example, if our perspective is on the things that we do not have, then it will be hard to be thankful for the things that we do have. As we gather with our families for Thanksgiving, think about the things that you do have: I am thankful for a home. It is a humble abode and it is by far not the fanciest place to be, it is nevertheless a

home. It shields us from the elements of the weather both the severe and the odd. A few short distance from where I sit, there is a nice warm fire going in the wood stove. I am thankful for heat and the wood that helps provide it. I just ate breakfast with my children. I am thankful for the food that we do have. It was a simple breakfast of instant oatmeal. I have to get ready to pick up a few things in town. I am thankful for the one vehicle we have to make it possible. I am thankful for my hearing disability. When my wife starts to nag or my children start to whine, I simply switch off my hearing aid and enjoy the peace and quiet. As I went to Iowa, I realized how important my family is. I am thankful for my family, no matter how frustrating it gets with them. Their love, their laughter, and the memories we create are the shining moments that bring joy. Each morning as I wake up, they come to snuggle with us in bed. I am thankful for my wife. For her to love me despite all of my intricacies, eccentricities and flaws. For her to be my rock, my support, my teammate and my best friend, things that make up who she is to me and for that I am thankful. I am thankful for Belleview Community Church for allowing me to be their pastor. I am thankful for Calhoun County, even

the spots where I have no coverage with my cell phone. There is a beauty among the bluffs when the trees begin their dazzling display of artistic effects through the changing of the seasons. I am thankful for the leaves that I spend most of the day raking because it means that I have a tree that shades me from the blazing summer sun. So many things, from big to small serve a reason for each of us to be thankful. I am thankful for you reader. Your words have encouraged me and motivated me. I want to thank you for allowing me in your home as I share with you a part of my life. I want to thank this paper for allowing me to share my life with you and your family. Most of all, I am thankful for God who showed His great love to me and to all of us and extended His undeserved grace to each of us that will receive it. I am thankful that He has made me to be the man that I am. Be thankful in both the good and the bad. Yes, even in the bad….it is a matter of perspective. If there is one blessing from Belleview to you dear reader, it is this: May you have a wonderful, safe, and blessed Thanksgiving. In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. (I Thessalonians 5:18)

Hey hey hey - it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas on our street. Redeye is almost done decorating. He almost froze to death yesterday. He had to do his decorating twice. He worked and worked, and got all the leaves out of the yard, and put up his decorations, and the wind blew so hard that night that , even though we don't have a tree in our yard, all of our decorations were buried in leaves. So, he had to clean the leaves out of yard and re-decorate. Both neighbors on either side of us, especially, Bob Smith have beautiful displays. I am going to try and drag my tutu out on our glassed in porch, and decorate as much as can. Still get so very, very tired. Redeye is reading the meters as I type, and I am going to try to get them posted tomorrow and get them in the mail Wednesday. Seems like this time of the month comes more quickly each month. We had supper with Becky and Mike at their Villa last Friday evening. Ate too much, as usual.

Went to the lung Doctor last Monday, and he was very pleased with my progress. Have to go back in four months. Of course, I pulled my usual Millie forgets her tutu if it wasn't connected. I lost all the paper work for the appointment, either before I got to the car at the doctor's, or drug it out when we stopped to eat. Just a little heads up, the Kampsville Landing will be open Thanksgiving. Rest restaurant will open at 7:00 a.m. and will close at 6:00 p.m. Store will open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 2:00 p.m. So, all you wives or husbands (mine especially) throw the aprons in the corner and shimmy on up to the Landing. Can you stand another Millie blunder?? Last Friday night I was cooking some tapioca for Bev, she had dental work done and couldn't eat anything solid. Well, to make a very messy story short, I turned the burner up, forgot I had done it, and went to the bathroom. When I got back, all of the tapioca, but about a cup (I made a double batch - 4 cups of milk), was all over the stovetop, down the front heading for the

floor. I threw everything loose into the sink, wiped off the burner and made another batch of tapioca. I soaked the burner for two days, and cleaned on the stove off and on for two days. The way that stuff sticks, I don't understand why it doesn't stick your innards together. Bill Klunk recently had knee replacement, and is doing great. Don't know which of us was moving the slowest. I am so glad that I am able to attend church again, and visit with my friends after church. I do believe their prayers and the prayers of all who are praying for me is helping. Thanks, again to all. Please continue to pray for all we have been praying for and any others who need prayer, especially a very good friend, Barb Kiel, who is battling hard for her life. She is such a great person, and I pray for her several times a day. Hang in there, Barb, you are a tough old broad, just like me. And how was your week??? See you next week.

Christianson With early Autumn comes the days I love the best of all When sunlight gilds the landscape with The mellow light of Fall. October’s trees don leaves of gold, Bright red and amber too; No treasure chest could boast Jewels so rare a hue. The harvest has been gathered in, Vineyards their riches yield; In little, sheltered gardens, one Last rose may be revealed. I love to see the roadside stands That offer up their treats… Pumpkins and juicy apples, grapes, And cider, sharp and sweet. With Autumn comes Thanksgiving, That special time when we, In church and home gather to join With friends and family, To thank God for the blessings He So graciously bestows: May we never take for granted The freedom that we know.

“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 self-indulgent. 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.

Kampsville Legion ladies honor veterans with meal The Kampsville American Legion Auxiliary Ladies, Roberta Becker, Donna Funk, Joan Klunk, and Violet Becker, had a delightful time serving lunch and talking with veterans at the Calhoun Care Center. The menu was fried chicken from the Barefoot and the ladies brought green beans, mashed potatoes, dumplings, and pies.

The chicken was bought for the veterans with the Poppy money. When the ladies sell poppies on Poppy Day the money is spent on the veterans only. Though out the years they receive gift and gas cards for those going for long term doctor visits. For Veterans Day the veterans at the Calhoun Care Center were given patriotic T-shirts.

Heat up with upcoming December events at TNI Work off holiday meals with restoration day, guided hike

Holiday meals and colder weather are upon us. Stay active at The Nature Institute (TNI) in Godfrey with two upcoming events. The Nature Institute (TNI) is looking for volunteers to help with one last Heartland Prairie Restoration Day of the year, on Saturday, Dec. 7 at 9 a.m. If pulling invasive plants and cutting honey suckle is not your style, join TNI on their preserves with a Winter Guided Hike on Dec. 14 at 9 a.m. The last restoration day of the year will be on Saturday, Dec. 7 at 9 a.m. in the Heartland Prairie’s 60 acres, located off Route 140 across from Gordon Moore Park in Alton. Volunteers will remove invasive plants and shrubs from the prairie, woodland and savanna. Helpers are encouraged to bring gloves, water, clippers or loppers. Also, be sure to wear protective clothing and sturdy shoes. Some tools will be available on site. All volunteers will be provided light lunch after the cleanup. The Heartland Prairie at Gordon Moore Park is owned by the City of Alton and is managed by TNI through maintained trails, infor-

mative plant guides and prescribed burns. This prairie land is protected under conservation easement and will remain undeveloped. For TNI’s second December event, head out to Talahi Lodge, located at 2213 South Levis Lane in Godfrey, and join friends and members on Saturday, Dec. 14 for a hike along woodland trails with a guided “Winter Hike.” This hike is free and open to the public. Pre-registration is required by Friday, Dec. 13 by calling (618) 467-2521. Since its founding in 1980, TNI’s Board of Directors and staff have worked to foster an awareness and appreciation of the natural world through preservation, restoration and education. Each summer TNI hosts a premier camp for children pre-kindergarten through 6th grade, this season’s end marked 31 successful years of camp, and they welcome more than 8,000 students on field trips throughout the year. For more information on the “Heartland Prairie Restoration Day,” “Guided Winter Hike” or other upcoming TNI events, visit www.TheNatureInstitute.org.

A horse-drawn buggy takes visitors on Elsah's Home for the Holidays tour in 2010. On Sat., Dec. 7, the tour will take visitors through six of the village's 19th century homes and several of its original buildings.

Historic home tour By ROBERT LYONS Calhoun News-Herald

The holiday season is all about traditions, but very few celebrate in a way as time-honored as Elsah. The 19th century village pays tribute to its past during the annual Home for the Holidays tour of houses, which is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 7. As always, the six homes participating in this year’s tour will be decorated for Christmas. Historic Elsah Foundation president Tim Tomlinson said visitors will get an authentic experience of life in the late 1800s during the holidays, with everything from furniture and wall coverings to the roads through the village remaining largely unchanged. “You get a sense of what size and space was available to people – open fire places, for example – that existed in the late 19th century,” Tomlinson said. “This is not an IKEA community.” A horse-drawn buggy and wagon will be available to take tourists on their voyage down the streets from home to home. “People will get a chance to move around the village the same way you or I would have moved around there 100 years ago,” Tomlinson said. The effort to preserve the village’s homes – many of which are built from local brick and limestone – and history began more than four decades ago and is now the main mission of the Historic Elsah Foundation. The entire historic district of the village was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. “Historic district is kind of an award given to communities by the United States Park Service,” he said. “There’s an elaborate set of guidelines about how these historic structures should be treated. Elsah tries very hard to maintain its historic authenticity.” Tomlinson said Principia College, the Methodist and Christian Scientist churches as well as residents are essential to the foundation’s efforts.

“There’s an awareness that Elsah represents something special and it’s a model of what some parts of this area used to be,” he said. “With the help of these groups, Elsah has developed this sense of history.” The foundation owns and curates two buildings in the village – Farley’s Music Hall and the ruins of a former ice house, which just received a renovation to stabilize its walls. “We were very much in danger of our ruin becoming a ruin,” Tomlinson said. The historic district of the village’s population is somewhere between 250 and 300, according to Tomlinson. “Three hundred at the most, but almost never all of them there. There is a core population of people who live there all the time,” he said. “Some families go back to the early days of the last century, and a house going from one member of the family.” The historic foundation’s president said though the village doesn’t change over the years, aspects of the Home for the Holidays tour do, including the homes open for visiting. This year there will also be a luncheon available at an additional cost through The Cultured Table Bistro beginning at 12:30 p.m. at Farley’s Music Hall. Tours of the village museum, United Methodist Church, Christian Science Church and the old school building will also be available, in addition to the home tours. Tickets for the Home for the Holidays tour are limited to 500, and can be purchased through Alton Convention and Visitors Bureau, the village’s two bed and breakfasts and The Cultured Table Bistro. The foundation’s website, historicelsah.org, is also offering tickets with a PayPal option. The cost is $15 for advanced purchases, or $18 on the day of the event. Tours begin at 1 p.m. and conclude at 5 p.m. The Home for the Holidays event raises funds for the Historic Elsah Foundation to continue its mission of village preservation.

GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Calhoun edged in OT, Brussels 2-2 in PCC SAM ELLIOTT Calhoun News-Herald Grace Baalman scored 30 points for the second time in as many games to begin her high school career, but the Calhoun Lady Warriors were edged by Southwestern 64-62 in overtime in a battle between two area small-school powers Saturday at the Southwestern Thanksgiving Tournament.

If they take away Emma, we're going to fall back on Grace." The Lady Warriors (1-1, 1-0 Western Illinois Valley Conference) continued play at the Southwestern Thanksgiving Tournament against Highland's junior varsity Tuesday, but results were not available at press time.

BOYS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL PREVIEW

Raiders, Warriors hoping experience pays off this season SAM ELLIOTT Calhoun News-Herald There are a lot of familar faces on the rosters of Calhoun County's boys high school basketball teams. Plenty of returning players both at Calhoun and Brussels have seen significant varsity playing time in the past. Their head coaches hope that experice will pay off in the form of wins this season. At Calhoun High School, nine of head coach Ryan Graner's top-10 players from last year are back.

Meanwhile at Brussels, head coach Max Taulman's Raiders feature a five-man senior class intent on improvement from a season ago. "I like our group, we've got quite a bit of athleticism and we obviously have a lot of experience back," Calhoun's coach Graner said. "It's just going to be a matter of building upon what we started the second half of last season." Calhoun's 2012-13 campaign got off to a shaky start as its young and inexperienced roster found its footing. Once the Warriors — quick and talented on the offensive end

— toughened up on defense, things took a turn for the better. "About halfway through the season last year, they figured out that you’ve got to be physical," Graner said. "You’ve got to find a way to use your leverage to keep people out of the lane and keep people off the offensive boards." Sophomore Mitch Bick, juniors Brandon Fraley and Gus Baalman and senior Andrew Sievers will look to lead Calhoun on the offensive end, but Graner said the team will only go as far as its defense and rebounding will take it.

"I'm not overly concerned about the offense, but you've got to be able to shut teams down and you've got to be able to outrebound teams," he said. "I think we've got the athleticism and length for [the defense] to get to the next level. If it does, then the sky's the limit for this team." The Warriors' 2013-14 season begins against Bunker Hill at 7:45 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6. Hopes are high, too, in Brussels. The Raiders aren't short on experience, returning five seniors — Dakota Schulte, Riley Caselton, Tyler Friedel, Travis

Kamp and Jacob Majors. "It's been awhile since we've had a senior class like this," coach Taulman said. "They're hungry. There's no doubt in my mind they're going to go out and play as hard and as good as they can. We haven't won more games than we've lost here for a long time, but this would surely be a good chance to try to do that." Sophomores Nathan Stevens, Mason Caselton and Lee Bell, plus lone junior Jordan Ohlendorf, add depth to the Raiders' lineup. "We've got some height and we've got some shooters and
