raise the water rates. Before you do, I want you to take a look at my filters,” Anderson said. Gary Anderson of Hardin held up a picture showing a filter muddied black after three months of use next to a pristine one which had not been installed. Anderson said raising water rates is unreasonable given the quality of water service to residents of the village. During a meeting Nov. 4, board member Tony Friedel said the village has been denied more than one grant because water bills are not enough to sustain the plant’s current operations. Board member Matt Haug said raising the rates is necessary for the village to move forward with improving the quality of water for Hardin residents. “We’ve had a lot of expenditure on identifying the problem. We’ve done a lot of expenditure on trying to get the

filters cleaned and we are aware that the lines need some flushing which is part of our upcoming plans for 2014,” Haug said. Glenda Anderson said she is tired of the excuses made by the board because it had since 2008 to fix the problem. Mayor Phil Gress said the board has been turned down for two grants since that time, noting sometimes the board does not hear it will not be receiving those grants until six months after the application has been filed. “All we can do is try to put in another grant,” Gress said. “We’ve been a year talking about raising water rates, and we all sat here with the same answer. You hate to raise somebody’s water when it’s like it is.” Gress said despite all the work at the plant where the water is found to be clean, the 60 to 70-year-old water lines need to be replaced to truly fix the problem. Anderson said he had his filters tested by PDC Laboratories, a testing facility in Florissant, Mo. Passing around the results of the test, he said some of the minerals and chemicals in the water filters were found to be far too high for safe drinking water. “Everything is off the scale, arsenic and all,” Anderson said. “That thing right there shows 560 parts per million of manganese. That kind of manganese will kill you. “It’s a dadgum good thing I was filtering it.” He said he has to change his filters out every three months to keep the water clean and to allow it to flow to his house. The Hardin resident said the testing facility was surprised to learn how often he had to change his filter, believing the accumulation would make more sense after six months. “We’re just getting tired of drinking this filthy water” Anderson said, questioning if some health issues for those in the village could be related to the water’s quality. Haug said the board plans to discuss how to address its water rates after a survey of water usage and distribution throughout the village. A company is doing the work free of charge and will report to the board its findings at a later date.

Village approves annual levy, no changes from 2012 by bOb CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Hardin village board of trustees approved its annual levy ordinance, which has not changed from last year, during a regular meeting Dec. 2. The levy requests $26,218, which is the same request made the past two years, and as such the board did not need to have a truth in taxation hearing. According to the ordinance, streets and alleys materials is the fund with the highest levied total of $8,500. Repairs and maintenance along with rent and utilities each have a levied fund of $4,500. Remaining levied funds are for the police department with $2,000, salaries of city officers and employees for which $3,418 was levied, legal and audit expenses of $2,000, and telephone which had a levy of $1,300. A levy is a request for tax funds and does not guarantee the levying body the total sum for which it levies. A taxing body can receive only what the equal-

ized assessed value (EAV) can support. The EAV is the taxable value of property from which a taxing body may draw property tax funds. The board also heard a presentation from Jennifer Russell, community and economic development coordinator for the University of Illinois Extension, about ways in which the Extension hopes to help the community promote growth. She said she worked with a business owner and the board in Winchester to conduct a survey for a new business in town to learn what residents would like, noting Winchester is also working on a tax increment financing district (TIF) to promote future business and property value growth. Jerseyville and Grafton are also working on TIF districts. A TIF district is designed to increase the EAV of an area while also improving infrastructure for the district. In a TIF district any increase in EAV greater than the EAV at the onset of the TIF is returned to the district to be used for infrastructure improvements and busi-

ness incentives. Grafton received one after the Great Flood of ‘93 when its EAV was around $3 million. Since that time, the EAV has increased to more than $18 million and TIF money has been used to fund street, sewer and waterline improvements for the city. Russell said the Extension could help communities in Calhoun County with TIF districts and has a number of other programs available, as well. For more information about the U of I Extension office, visit its website at web. extension.illinois.edu/ccgms. In other business, the board: n Approved the minutes of the previous meeting and the bills. n Thanked Allen and Debbie Johnson for putting together Christmas in the Village where around 100 kids came to visit Santa. n Approved a bid of $5,000 from Terry Churchman for a village-owned property which was previously a car wash.

Commissioner seat contested in next year’s election by bOb CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald According to filings with the Calhoun County Clerk, there will be only one contested race next November during the general election. The county commissioner seat held by Larry Wieneke is up for election. Wieneke, a Hardin resident, is running on the Republican ticket and will be challenged by Randy Coughlin for the seat next November. Coughlin is a Batchtown resident running on the Democratic ticket. The elected commissioner will serve six years.

Wieneke was elected to the seat in November 2012 after the death of former commissioner chairwoman Wanda Tepen, who had been a member of the commissioners since 2009 when she was appointed to the position vacated by her husband, Vince Tepen, upon his death. She was elected during the 2010 election, and died in July 2012. Patricia Langland will run uncontested for the position of supervisor of assessments for which she was appointed Sept. 5. The county commissioners appointed Langland to the position after removing former supervisor of assessments

by bOb CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald A Carrollton native whose mother grew up in Calhoun County filed to challenge Charles H.W. Burch for the 8th Judicial District circuit judge seat in Calhoun County. Tammy L. Evans, daughter of Ron Evans and Rosemary (Becker) Evans, will run on the Democratic ticket in the primary election against Charles H.W. Burch, March 18, 2014. The seat is being vacated by Judge Richard Greenlief when he ends his term to enter retirement. Evans said she moved to the county when she heard about the vacancy after Veterans Day. She said she wanted to run not only to offer residents of the county a choice between candidates, but also to serve the county to the best of her ability if elected. “I hope to serve the residents of Calhoun. … I hope to serve them in the most fair and impartial way,” Evans said, noting impartiality is the most important characteristic for a judge to exhibit. She said she made the move to run as circuit judge because it would be a good next step for her legal career. “I know it would be a great

opportunity. I know I’ve got the experience, and I know I have the character,” Evans said. After graduating from Carrollton High School, Evans attended Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville where she received a bachelors degree in political science and English literature. She attended Washington University as a grad student pursuing a masters degree in international affairs but, after being accepted into law school, she shifted her focus to attend Chicago-Kent College of Law. Since that time she has worked in a courtroom every work day for 13 years handling case loads for the office of public guardians in Chicago in addition to clerking with the attorney general and other law offices. Originally, Evans said she worked in the juvenile division of the office where she handled juvenile cases for more than three years, and after a tragic fire destroyed many of the records at the office – and took the lives of some who worked there – Evans said she transitioned to the adult guardianship division for six years. In addition to the adult guardianship case work, Evans said she has (See, burch, A2)

Obamacare subsidies vary in area counties By scott reeder & jackson adams Illinois News Network Insurance premiums for people in their 20s are skyrocketing under Obamacare, leaving serious concerns about the future viability of the entire system. A recently released Heritage Foundation report found that that the cost of purchasing a health insurance policy for an Illinois 27-year-old has more than doubled since the advent of Obamacare. And recruiting young people to enroll is a major goal of the Obama administration, because insurers need healthy customers to offset the cost of caring for those with costly medical needs. A carrot-and-stick approach is taken to get uninsured people to join in the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance exchanges. Subsidies are given to some people who enroll, and fines are levied against those who choose not to buy insurance. The fines amount to either $95 per year or 1 percent of a person’s annual income, whichever is greater. The cutoff level for subsidies is based not only on a person’s income, but also their age and where they live. For example, unmarried 20-year-olds in Jersey County are eligible for subsidized insurance if they earn less than $23,766 a year. The cut-off amount for an unmarried 20-year-old in Pike County is higher -- $24,268. But unmarried 60-year-olds living in either county are eligible for subsidized insurance if they earn less than $45,960. “A lot of young people are going to choose to not buy insurance because they are going to figure out that it is cheaper to pay the fine and go without,” said David Hogberg, a health care policy analyst for the National Center for Public Policy Research. This is hardly a small number

of people, said Chris Conover, a researcher at Duke University’s School for Health Policy and Inequality. “About one-half of the uninsured people between 19 and 30 have at least a $500 incentive not to buy health insurance under Obamacare and about one-third have a $1,000 incentive not to pur-

For example, unmarried 20-year-olds in jersey county are eligible for subsidized insurance if they earn less than $23,766 a year. the cut-off amount for an unmarried 20-yearold in Pike county is higher -- $24,268. chase it,” Conover said. That $1,000 “incentive” represents how much the insurance would cost if they opted to buy it rather than pay the fine, he said. “You could argue that they are getting insurance in exchange for paying that money,” Conover said. “But for many young people that is not much of an incentive. The policies generally have high deductibles and people in these age ranges generally are in good health.” Conover predicted that few young people will sign up for Obamacare which will result in risk pools having disproportionate numbers of older and less healthy people. As a result, insurance companies would have to raise their premiums further, he said. “We call it the ‘death spiral.’ The premiums go up so more young people drop out and pay the fine, which results in the premiums going up even more and more people dropping out,” Hogberg said.

Cutoff incomes for subsidies, by individual age and county Calhoun County Greene County Jersey County Pike County Scott County

Age 20 $23,766 $23,766 $23,766 $24,268 $24,268

Age 30 $31,628 $31,628 $31,628 $32,366 $32,366

This already has happened in states that have overregulated the individual health insurance market, Conover said. “Other than out of some sense of civic duty, it’s hard to see why a young person would purchase insurance, especially if they are currently uninsured,” Hogberg said. “If they were to get some subsidy, obviously it might drive the price of a … plan down enough that it might be worth their time. But if they are not going to get a subsidy, why would you do that, and pay at least $100 a month, maybe more, when you could pay a fine of either $95 dollars or 1% of your taxable income, whichever is more?” Families are doing the same calculations. Donna Moore, who lives in Springfield, has three adult children 25 or younger – all of whom are insured either through an employer, the military or Moore’s own policy. She said cost/benefit calculations on insurance are something her family and many others are having to do now. “We don’t like having to pay for things that we don’t use, and we think it is really ridiculous,” Moore said. “But what can we do? … If they don’t pay for the insurance then they’ll have to pay the penalty. So if I’m advising somebody not to sign up for it, I’m putting them in the position of having to pay the penalty.”

Age 40 $33,654 $33,654 $33,654 $34,436 $34,436

Age 60 $45,960 $45,960 $45,960 $45,960 $45,960

Josh Archambault, a senior fellow with the Foundation for Government Accountability, anticipates states such as Illinois or the federal government may try to encourage more young people to enroll by increasing the penalty in future years. Lawmakers who support the law want people to focus on its benefits for young people. “We’re hearing so much about what’s wrong that we’re not getting the information out about what’s right,” said state Rep. Monique Davis, D-Chicago. “You can stay on your parent’s insurance until you’re 26 years old. Say you’re a young woman, your insurance is required to give you a mammogram and other procedures that a young woman is required to have. Now if I were a young woman I wouldn’t want to keep the plan I had, I’d want to have those new things included.” Obamacare proponents also point out that having insurance encourages young people to take more steps to avoid health problems. “We need to educate people to go to physicians when they’re healthy, not the emergency room when they are sick,” said state Rep. Sara Feigenholtz, D-Chicago. “Insurance is the way to encourage them to do that.” Unfortunately, the Affordable Care Act may end up having the reverse effect of pricing people out of the insurance market altogether.

We hope everyone has had a great Thanksgiving and a time filled with blessings and thankfulness. We have begun a new series through the Advent season entitled “The Carols of Christmas”. Several of our families were either sick, on the road, or had other interferences, but we still had a great turnout and a wonderful time of worship. We will be having our church Christmas party on December 15 and I am looking forward to another delicious spread of food to eat. We would love to have you come, if you have any questions, feel free to give us a call. We will also be having our children’s Christmas program on December 22 at 10:45. We have a busy month ahead of us and we would love to have you come and visit with us one Sunday, our church is beautifully decorated for the Christmas season. We have a busy week of special days ahead of us. Delza Osterman will be celebrating her birthday on Dec. 4. Then on Sunday, one of my favorite pals, Paxton Browning will celebrate a birthday on December 8. Then another one of my pals Audrey Bridges celebrates a birthday on December 10. Paxton and Audrey gets to pick a prize on Sunday from the Birthday Basket! Expectations. That is a word that can be attached to Christmas. It is what I see in each of our three children. Do you remember my neighbor Jerry who worked tirelessly in using his house to

demonstrate the Christmas spirit? He usually takes a week off from his work to set up his Christmas decorations. Last year, it was a week long effort. This year, he had been dealing with hospital visits during his vacation. One of our family traditions for Thanksgiving is that on Thanksgiving night, we put up our Christmas tree. Last year, our tree bit the dust and it was time for another one. We upgraded this year to a 7 foot tree after having a 6 foot (looked small in our expansive family room). After tediously straightening out each branch and hiding each gap, we gave our children ornaments to hang up. I had really looked forward to allowing them to decorate the full tree and realized the error of my ways when every ornament was hanging on the bottom 2 feet of the tree and there was a full array of green on the top. I finally lifted each one by one and helped them spread the ornaments to the top. After we placed the star, we stepped back and admired our handiwork. It is not the fanciest of trees and there is no established order or neatness to our decorations but it is our tree. We love it. Then I saw it. Expectation. It was in their eyes as they turned to look outside. Where were the lights? As Friday rolled around, I saw Jerry working in the yard. His family were all outside as they furiously worked together to put up their lights and decorations. Expectation. Oh, if only to be a kid again. To have that sense of wonder and expectation

whose eyes twinkles at the sight of thousands of lights shining, twinkling, and sparkling at the home next door. Our children at this innocent young age love Christmas. With Christmas, they expect to see Jerry’s house light up. Expectation simply means to look forward or anticipate. An even better word to use would be hope. I have a brief idea of that word when I prepared and put away my boat for the winter. Like a child, I looked forward to the day when I can unwrap it from its covers and go fishing again underneath the warm spring sun. What are you hoping for? Better health? Goodwill to all men? Lasting peace? More money? Within each one of us, there is an expectation. That expectation or hope within us is usually the driving force behind us. Over the years, I have learned that it is not necessarily what you are hoping for, it is actually what you are hoping in. Amid all the hoopla of Christmas lights and decorations that sprinkle the country sides and floods the cities, there is a stable. In that stable is a manger, an ordinary feeding trough. In that manger is hope. It is where I found mine. As I held my children close to me and we gazed in awe at the lights, I quietly reflected with the thankfulness the hope that I have found and the reason for the season. Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, (Titus 2:13)

Have you dwelt in the glow of Christmas, The candles glimmer far, A chorus of angel voices, And light from distant star? Have you felt all the love of Christmas In friendship with those who care? Then you’ve peeped in the heart of Christmas, And the Christ Child Himself is there!

ISP conducting ACE patrols Captain Parsons, District 18 Commander, is announcing that the Illinois State Police (ISP) will conduct Alcohol Countermeasure Enforcement (ACE) patrols in District 18 during the month of December. The ACE patrols allow the ISP to target an area with saturation patrols that focus on preventing, detecting, and taking enforcement action in response to violations associated with impaired driving and illegal transportation or consumption of alcohol and other drugs. Across the country, an average of one alcohol-related traffic death occurs every 51 minutes. Alcohol and drug impairment remain significant factors in nearly 40 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illinois. Each year in Illinois, hundreds of lives are lost in alcohol-related crashes. Don’t risk losing your license, your car, and your freedom. If you drive impaired, law enforcement will arrest you. This project is funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.

CHRISTMAS OPEN HOUSE

The basics of poinsettia plant care

Although poinsettias are most often associated with the holiday season, they are actually tropical plants. In spite of their origins, poinsettias can thrive during the holiday season and even last long after the holidays have come and gone. Poinsettias are native to Mexico and Central America. Aztecs called the plant cuetlaxochitl. The flowering plant was first introduced to the United States by Joel Poinsett, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, and was subsequently renamed the poinsettia. The flowers of the poinsettia are actually the yellow blooms at the middle of the bright red or white bracts that form on the plant. Perhaps due to the bright red of the bracts, the plant quickly became a popular Christmas plant. It's important to note that poinsettias grow in a warm climate and therefore must be kept in tropical conditions to ensure the plant's health. Furthermore, poinsettias bloom in response to shortening daylight hours. That means they will need ample darkness each night in order to simulate the dark nights of short, winter days. To achieve this, you may need to put the plant into a dark closet for 12 to 14 hours each night. During the day, the plant should

29 YEAR S OF SERVI CE

be in a sunny window where it will have access to bright light. The more light the better. Keep the soil evenly moist. Misting the plant will help it to retain some humidity. Also, fill the overflow saucer on your flower pot with gravel to allow water seeping through the pot to evaporate from the gravel. Hot temperatures indoors combined with high humidity will help the plant to thrive. Even one day without adequate moisture can cause the leaves to drop. Furthermore, decreasing temperatures can cause leaves to fall off. The goal is to keep the indoor temperature consistent. While many poinsettia plants are discarded after the holiday season, these plants can actually be cut back and saved for next season. Trimming back any remaining leaves and continuing to care for the plant by keeping it moist can help. To force the blooms next season, start reducing the plant's exposure to sunlight in mid-September to October. Again, this will mean removing the plant to an area that is shrouded in complete darkness. Even streetlights or indoor lighting can affect blooming. If the plant does not begin to turn color before the holiday season, you may need to purchase a new plant and try again next year.

Card of Thanks

Black Friday has taken on a new meaning and could have been much "blacker" for us, if not for the rapid response of some hard working firefighters. Thank You, Point Precinct Volunteers! While we enjoyed the day off, a brush fire was moving out of control, crossing property lines, racing uphill toward our house. This dedicated team sprung to action...battling, containing and extinguishing a fire before it caused irreparable damage. We are counting our blessings, #1 being the Volunteers who are always "on-call" and ready to work. Special thanks to Bob Held, for his quick thinking and action; for putting out the fire on top, before it reached the barn wood. To Keith Baecht, for alerting us to the situation while it was happening; for his watchful presence and care. What an asset, to have these devoted Volunteers in our midst, protecting this community! Ever Grateful, The Coleman Family

"You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures for evermore." Psalm 16:11

In the Presence of God Brother Lawrence was a seventeenth century Carmelite monk and author of the book "The Practice of the Presence of God." He was fond of saying that we should "walk as in His presence," i.e., that we should strive constantly to be in conversation and communion with God. Brother Lawrence was a simple man who was converted to holiness at the age of eighteen upon seeing the sight of a dry, leafless tree on a snowy midwinter's day. The sight of the tree brought to mind the coming season of Spring and God's providential hand. Brother Lawrence sought out a monastery after this conversion experience where he strove to live continuously in God's presence. He

wasn't a particularly learned man, nor did he perform any great miracles or go on any great crusades, but he devoted himself to sanctifying the ordinary, everyday aspects of life. Indeed, Brother Lawrence worked in the kitchen of the monastery for most of his life and one of his favorite prayers was a prayer you could imagine yourself saying at the kitchen sink: "Lord of all pots and pans and things, make me a saint by getting meals and washing up the plates!" Would we not all live far better lives by walking continuously in God's presence? – Christopher Simon

FAMILY FEATURES

ach decade has its own distinct foods, including desserts. Yet some of these decadent treats — such as southern Lemon Chess Pie from the 1820s, Strawberry Shortcake from the 1850s, or New York’s Black and White Cookies, first baked up in the Roaring 1920s — have stood the test of time. To celebrate these nostalgic sweets, CanolaInfo’s “Decades of Decadence” recipe collection serves up a delicious trip down memory lane with modern influence by Ellie Krieger, M.S., R.D., host of the Cooking Channel’s “Healthy Appetite.” “History shaped these desserts and they have stuck around because they are inherently delicious,” she says. “They were driven by the availability of ingredients in their day, advertising by food companies in women’s magazines and advancements in food technology or appliances.” To boost nutrition and keep saturated fat in check, the recipes are updated with heart-healthy ingredients, such as low-fat yogurt, whole-grain flour and canola oil, which has the least saturated fat and most omega-3 fat of all common culinary oils. Try this fresh, healthy update on 1930s Pineapple Upside Down Cake, originally invented to take advantage of canned pineapple, which is kept moist and gooey with canola oil. Take a journey back to the ’40s with Chocolate War Cake, a chocolaty indulgence that’s a cinch to make. Or dig into Frozen Grasshopper Pie, a ’50s favorite once home freezers became common, which offers less saturated fat by using canola oil in the crust and reduced-fat ice cream or frozen yogurt in the filling. For the complete “Decades of Decadence” collection and more recipes from Krieger, visit www.CanolaInfo.org.

1930s

Pineapple Upside Down Cake Yield: 8 servings Serving size: 1 slice Canola oil cooking spray 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar 4 to 5 pineapple rings (about 1/4 of whole pineapple) about 1/2 inch thick 2 tablespoon chopped crystallized ginger 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup low-fat buttermilk 1/2 cup canola oil 2 large eggs 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Preheat oven to 350°F.

Allow to cool completely. In large bowl, place softened ice cream and mix well until uniform texture forms, similar to soft-serve ice

cream. Fill cooled pie crust with ice cream, smoothing out top. Garnish with chocolate shavings, cover with plastic wrap and put back in freezer until solidly frozen, at least 4 hours. When ready to serve, heat knife under hot water and use it to cut pie into slices. Note: An ice cream or frozen yogurt without green food coloring is recommended. To make chocolate shavings, use a vegetable peeler to peel strips from a thick block of chocolate. If the chocolate crumbles as you make the shavings, put it in the microwave at 10-second intervals to soften it slightly.

Lady Warriors whip Western in home opener Calhoun places second at Southwestern tourney SaM ELLiott Calhoun News-Herald

Mike Weaver/Calhoun News-Herald

Emma Baalman heads to the hoop against Wesclin during the Lady Warriors' 76-55 win in their Southwestern thanksgiving tournament finale Saturday at Southwestern High School. Baalman scored 17 points and was named to the all-tournament team Saturday and scored a game-high 19 points as Calhoun (5-1) beat Western 66-36 Monday in its home opener in Hardin. michaelrweaver.com

Lady Raiders improve to 3-3 Kiel continues strong debut in Brussels' win Brussels High School freshman Baylee Kiel outscored the opposition on her own, scoring a game-high 33 points while bringing down 11 rebounds for a double-double to lead the Lady Raiders in a 73-22 win against Madison Monday in Brussels. Classmate Madison Willman added a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double and Marisa Kuhn was next with five points for Brussels, which improved to 3-3 this season with the win. The Lady Raiders took a quick 16-6 lead through the first quarter and pulled away to a 43-11 halftime advantage after winning the second quarter by a 27-5 margin. A 25-9 third quarter leaning in Brussels' favor made it a 68-20 game heading into the fourth quarter. The Lady Raiders continue their season against the Illinois School for the Deaf at 7:45 p.m. Wednesday in Jacksonville. They'll return home to host Metro-East Lutheran at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Brussels High School. Sam Elliott/Calhoun News-Herald

The Calhoun High School girls basketball team has rebounded from its lone loss of the young season by winning four-straight games. A two-point overtime loss to the host Lady Piasa Birds Saturday, Nov. 23, is all that kept Calhoun from a championship at the 16th annual Southwestern Thanksgiving Tournament. The Lady Warriors bounced back with convincing wins against Highland's junior varsity, Gillespie and Wesclin to finish second at Southwestern's round-robin tournament. The Lady Warriors' offense has yet to score fewer than 59 points through six games this season, but their defense paced them to an early lead on the way to a 66-36 win against Western in Monday's home opener at Calhoun High School. A 20-0 run helped Calhoun take a 30-3 lead through the first quarter and the Lady Warriors led 45-8 at halftime. Calhoun forced 13 of Western's 17 turnovers in the first half and the Lady Wildcats were limited to 2-of-24 shooting from the field before halftime. "We’ve been striving in practice to move our feet more. We’ve got good length, we’ve just got to rotate in our 1-2-2 zone a little quicker," Calhoun head coach Aaron Baalman said. "In that first half, we ran it textbook. You probably couldn’t run a 1-2-2 better than how we ran it [Monday]." Offensively, the Lady Warriors shot better than 52 percent from the field. Sophomore Emma Baalman led all scorers with 19 points on 9-of-11 shooting and added eight rebounds. Classmate Kassidy Klocke scored 17 points on 8-of-15 shooting and freshman Grace Baalman chipped in a double-double with 14 points on 7-of-9 shooting and 13 rebounds. "If we make the right decisions and make that extra pass, we’re going to find one of the big girls and they’re hard to beat," coach Baalman said. "We’re getting the production that we need to get. We’re getting more into the flow of the game and the other girls are getting more comfortable. Grace, Kassidy and Emma just do such a good job." Calhoun's height advantage — Grace Baalman at 6-foot-2, Emma Baalman at 6-foot-1 and Klocke at 6-feet — helped the Lady Warriors outrebound Western 45-21. "It really helps us limit teams to one shot," coach Baalman said. "This team's a fun group and they work hard. I can't complain as a coach." After Calhoun was edged 64-62 in overtime by Southwestern at the Lady Piasa Birds' home tournament, the Lady Warriors won their next three games there by an average of more than 27 points. Grace Baalman scored 30 points for the third-straight

Brussels (1-0) led by just an 11-9 margin through the first quarter, but pulled away to a 39-26 halftime advantage after winning the second quarter 28-17. Barat just outscored Brussels 40-39 in the second half. The Raiders continued their season on the road against East Alton-Wood River Tuesday, but results were not available at press time.
