Bomb threat scare at CHS

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun New-Herald A bomb threat at Calhoun High School shut down education for the day, after Illinois State Police responded to the threat and initiated a full investigation. There was no explosion, nor was anybody injured Monday afternoon at the high school. Illinois State Police Trooper Jeff Yenchko said Monday afternoon there were no suspects but an investigation was ongoing. According to a press release issued Monday by the Illinois State Police, the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office was notified of a letter stating

a bomb was in Calhoun High School. Students and faculty were immediately evacuated from the building and bomb dogs were brought in from the Secretary of State Police and Secretary of State Capitol Police to conduct a search for the bomb. In an email to the Calhoun News-Herald Tuesday morning, Superintendent Kate Sievers said all high school staff and students were evacuated to Calhoun Elementary School until they were dismissed at 2 p.m. while the Secretary of State Bomb Squad inspected the building. An explosive device was not found as a result of the search, nor were any look alikes found. The (See, bomb threat, A2)

Brussels High School hires new principal By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald With the retirement of Marla Palmer as Brussels High School principal, the school district has turned to a Brussels-born man to take over the school’s administrative duties. Born in the small town, Andy Stumpf will take up his first role as a full-time administrator for the high school in southern Calhoun County. Stumpf has worked the past 10 years in the Carrollton CUSD 1 where he has been a coach for football and basketball. He has filled in as a substitute principal in the Carrollton district when needed, as well. “They had to go to a conference a couple weeks ago, so I was the principal for a whole week of our K through eight building,” Stumpf said. Though he did not spend much of his life living in Brussels – his family moved to Carrollton when he was 3 – Stumpf said he is familiar with the

By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald In only its second year, last week’s Barn Yard Day at Calhoun Elementary School in Hardin was a hit with the school’s students, as well as visitors from the public. The Barn Yard Day was started by Christie Joehl two years ago, the same year she was named best agriculture teacher in the state. Since that time, she moved to neighboring district Carrollton CUSD 1, and Heidi Doyle, a former special education teacher, took up the position. Doyle kept the event alive with the addition of rarer livestock and farm animals for students to learn about up close. “We live in a rural community, but a lot of kids don’t live on farms. A lot of them don’t see [a cow] up close and personal,” Doyle said. “We just bring it to them and they get to pet them and spend time with them.” But the event is not only about spending time with the animals, as FFA students stand at each pen and teach the children about each respective animal. Some of the stations even include posters about how certain animals are used to create products for human consumption or use. The agriculture teacher said the event is important in laying the groundwork for students who may eventually be a part of Calhoun FFA, and although many in the county are farmers, some students still do not get to see farm animals in a more intimate setting. “We think it is important, especially in a rural community, that we have ag,” Doyle said. During the Barn Yard Day April 25, students got to see and pet a camel, observe a Poitou donkey – of which there are only 500 registered in the world – and learn about grain bin safety. All animals at the event were owned by FFA members or were rented from the

The new principal said he frequents the picnic in Brussels to enjoy the good food and company, and he is excited to work for a district that has a more intimate relationship between the teachers, students and parents. “It’s a smaller town, obviously, and a smaller school district, but that’s what I like about it,” Stumpf said. “You’ve got students and teachers and parents who love their school and

Heidi Doyle Agriculture teacher makes the animal different from others. Haylee Armbruster, Calhoun Elementary School student, said learning about the process for how milk is made was the most interesting learning experience. From pumping the milk out of the cows into large containers and trucking it to safety check points, she said the process was fascinating. “Everybody cleans it and puts in stuff that are good for you and make it healthy for you,” Armbruster said, noting the camel was also cool. “I’ve never seen a camel before. Like the humps. I’ve never seen the humps before.” In addition to seeing a bull with a hump on its back, Alana Sievers also enjoyed petting and feeding the camel. “I liked how they store water in there. That’s what I liked about it,” Sievers said. Doyle said she hopes the students who came to the event – and the few members of the public who visited – will find an appreciation for the farm animals and get involved with Calhoun FFA.

Worries earlier this year of finances for the district saw FFA on the chopping block to save the school district from deficit spending. Doyle sad FFA isn’t only about farming, planting corn and raising cattle. Students in the program learn about public speaking and parliamentary procedure, while others can enter into the business side of agriculture or learn about the engineering behind farming and farm equipment. The agriculture teacher said the

diversity in learning experiences is what keeps students returning to FFA. “Ag is more than just farming, too,” Doyle said. “We have ag business classes, communication, teaching leadership skills, those kinds of things. … It’s more than just being a farmer and that’s what a lot of people perceive it as.” Doyle said the FFA group just got finished with livestock judging, noting one of her teams placed seventh while another placed tenth. Additionally, three students are running for section offices

which govern a 14 school district area. Doyle also said the greenhouse has been opened for the spring and summer seasons. She invited members of the public to visit the greenhouse from 7:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day. As for the future of the program, Doyle said the FFA will meet this summer to create a schedule of events and begin promoting the program to boost the population of students involved with the organization.

Kampsville Museum makes push for more visitors By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald After fighting off the floods last year and beating away this year’s winter storms, the Kampsville Museum will open its doors this weekend for the first time this year. Carol Colaninno, director of education for the Center for American Archaeology (CAA), said the main exhibit at the museum will be featured throughout the summer, along with a number of activities which have been planned for the warm season. “We are currently doing some improvements around the museum,” Colaninno said. “We have our programs announced for 2014, so we’ve got Archaeology Day scheduled and all our other archaeology events. … We just have the normal displays up right now, a display of our current research and a display of the archaeological traditions in the area in terms of how people were living here thousands of years ago.” Last fall, the museum held a special exhibit of its own personal history for a limited time. Large format photos were installed to show how archaeology in Calhoun County and the surrounding area has evolved since the group was formed in 1953. Colaninno said that exhibit is no longer available at the museum, but noted there will be a new, exclusive exhibit this coming this fall. Just what that exhibit will feature is under wraps, however. The education director said the museum is focused on improving attendance this year, especially through use of its programs throughout the summer when visitors can learn about the archaeology of the area and the process of unearthing discoveries. “We have a lot of people in the community that don’t know that we exist,” Colaninno said. “The more visitors we can get, the better. … Part of our mission is teaching people

Brussels seeks savings with energy management By BOB CROSSEN Calhoun News-Herald The Brussels School Board is awaiting a final report from an energy management agency on how it can cut expenses in relation to heating and cooling throughout the district. During its previous regular meeting March 18, the school board approved a memorandum of understanding with Honeywell, an energy management agency, to review the district’s energy management.

Brussels Community Unit School District 42 Superintendent Mark Martin said two engineers visited the school district’s campus April 23 and toured the facilities looking for improvements that could be made. The superintendent said the major factor in seeking expertise for energy management was the costs associated with keeping the district heated during the lengthy and harsh winter in January and February. He said the gym and industrial arts building (See, BRUSSELS , A2) C

about the archaeology of the area and promoting stewardship. We can’t promote culture if people don’t know about the archaeology.” She said Illinois is home to many archeological landmarks about which most people are unaware, such as the oldest domesticated dog burial site in North America. Located in Greene County, Colaninno said archaeologists used dating methods to ascertain the age of the dog – a replica of which can be seen in the Kampsville Museum – which had been buried with personal items. “They’re about 8,500 years old,” Colaninno said. “The skeletons were recently sampled for genetic material and they were able to sequence the DNA of these dogs and relate them back to the global occurrence of dog domestication.” She said the study exposing that discovery was published just last year, despite the dog burial first being found in the 1970s by CAA excavators. She said the archaeologists at CAA continue to study the remains of the dogs in the context of the time period during which they were buried to learn more about the human culture surrounding dogs at that time. “The really cool thing about the burials is that the dogs were buried with objects, so they placed objects in the dog’s grave with the dogs, which is really cool because it shows that they didn’t just consider these dogs animals,” Colaninno said. “They were pets. They had a connection to them.” And visitors to the museum can learn about that history or help discover more by participating in the excavation days – some are for adults, others for families. During the day-long excavation, participants will visit a 2,000-year-old village site and process artifacts. The family excavation day is focused more on an introduction to excavation and (See, KAMPSVILLE , A2)

No charges were filed as of press time.

It wasn’t until a classmate and team mate of his, Nick Flowers, asked him to help coach at Carrollton that Stumpf returned to the area for good. Coaching football and basketball have given him the leadership and management skills necessary to be a successful administrator, he said. “I’ve been in a lot of coaching over the years. It’s been a fun ride. I love coaching, but I also set a goal of being an administrator, and that opportunity came along,” Stumpf said. But he said he doesn’t expect to make sweeping changes for a district that has had continually strong scores on standardized tests, rather he said he’ll focus on implementing the Common Core standards at the high school. All public school districts in Illinois are switching over to the Common Core standards for learning which are higher and clearer than those previously set by the State Board of Education. The

Both buildings share a fuel oil tank, which is used to heat them, and Martin said costs were a tremendous financial burden, costing the district approximately $10,000 every month through the winter. “We spend over $10,000 a month for heat, and most of it was going to the gym and ag building,” Martin said. “That cannot continue. I don’t see a lot more money coming our way. So that was the real motivating factor to get Honeywell to work with us.” Though the Honeywell agents did not provide recommendations during their visit, Martin said they are going to review all the information collected from the campus tour to submit to the board final recommendations. They will also prioritize what they believe to be the most important fixes to save the district money, and what projects will be feasible to complete within the school district’s budget. Martin said the district was also the recipient of two matching grants for school maintenance. One of the grants is for $30,000 – the district would have to match the same amount of money – and the other is for $18,000 with the same matching funds stipulation. Last year, the district was awarded a maintenance grant of $7,600, which it used to update the school

As a teacher of middle school mathematics, Stumpf said he is familiar with the math Common Core standards and hopes he can bring that knowledge to the teachers at the high school to help in implementation of the new learning standards. Other than the “beautiful countryside,” Stumpf said he doesn’t expect massive differences in his transition to Brussels High School where he was just hired last Thursday, April 24. Stumpf said he has been in contact with Superintendent Mark Martin about overarching plans for the school, but said his main goal is to provide a quality learning environment for every student. “I want all of my students to succeed. I don’t think success is the same for everyone, but I believe that every student, every teacher, every person can succeed if put in the right position,” Stumpf said. “That’s my goal is to have all teachers and students to succeed in their own way.”

Martin said the board is also looking into the feasibility of opening a weight room for the school’s athletes. One of the board members has a connection that could help the district in seeking space to put the weight room. “Our athletic director has been championing the creation of a weight room for our kids. The problem is space is an issue,” Martin said. “We’re not saying forget about it because it’s not doable. We’re looking to see if there are any ideas that we could actually make work.” No action was taken regarding the implementation of a school weight room, but Martin said he expects the board will continue to discuss the matter moving forward. In other business, the board: n Approved the hire of Croxford and Company to perform the district’s annual audit for $6,300.

CCF's Annual Calhoun Quilt and Church Tour is collecting ads from interested parties to be included in flyers and printed materials advertising the 8th Quilt and Church Tour. Most advertisers in the past have been individually contacted, but should you wish to be included and have not been approached, please drop your ad information or donation off at the Extension Office in Hardin on Tuesdays and Thursdays until May 15. Ads or donations may also be mailed to CCF/Quilts at P.O. Box 176, Hardin, IL 62047. Ads are $30, with Benefactors $100$499, and Patrons $500+. Ads should be received no later than May 15, as advertising for the tour will begin in earnest in late May and June. The ads help to defray the cost of rentals, advertising, insurance and miscellaneous expenses. The Calhoun Quilt and Church Tour helps CCF sponsored programs, such as the Dental Van last year, a Partnership with Alton Convention and Visitors' Bureau, and the Barn

The expression "all in" refers to wagering one's entire stake in poker, and thus has the connotation of being entirely committed to one's hand, or by extension, to whatever one is doing. One could commit oneself entirely to a business proposition by investing all of one's savings, for instance. Committing yourself to God is a lot like declaring that you are "all in." That is, we can't play half of our stake or only invest half of our resources in the kingdom of heaven. We must be completely committed to the spiritual life, wholeheartedly and single-mindedly giving our lives over to God. Anything else and you just aren't all in. - Christopher Simon

with the Relay to contact any of the committee members namely, JoAn Corbett, Beth Godar, Joan Held, Sarah Kinder, Linda Watt or Jennifer White. If anyone needs assistance from the American Cancer Society or wishes to contribute or be on a team, please call JoAn Corbett at 618-5762222. She also suggested you call the Calhoun Health Dept as they are most cooperative and can provide things such as wigs from ACS. “One in every 100 Americans participate in this fundraising event that has become a global phenomenon,” Corbett said, “Everything we do at Relay For Life contributes to reducing cancer mortality and incidences, whether it’s raising dollars that support free patient programs and services, research or volunteering to commit to advocacy and education efforts---we’re all a part of the fight and we need the community’s help.” Nearly half of all cancer deaths are preventable and events like the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life educates people on what they can do to reduce their cancer risk, and also raises funds that lead to better treatment and more lives saved.

A Mother’s Day Birding Hike for beginners will be held at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 10, in the Gilbert Lake Division.

Juggling your career and new motherhood

Calhoun News-Herald

Hardin, Illinois

Ten Tips for Parenting Teens How to start babies on solid foods

File Photo

Juggling a career and motherhood is difficult for any woman, but the transition to wearing two hats can prove an especially difficult adjustment for new mothers. The following are a handful of tips for new mothers about to embark on the challenging task of juggling a career and a growing family. n Carefully consider career decisions. Some new mothers respond to motherhood by making changes with regard to their careers. While adjustments will almost certainly need to be made, it's important that women avoid knee-jerk reactions. Some women feel guilty about not spending enough time with their children and ultimately allow that guilt to govern their decisions about their careers. But women who don't give ample consideration to such decisions may grow to regret them when they find they miss their old jobs and the responsibilities and sense of purpose that comes with those jobs. When making career decisions as new motherhood is approaching or after it arrives, make a list of the pros and cons to each decision and the motives behind each decision you might make. The more thoughtfully you approach each decision, the happier you're likely to be with that decision once it's been made. n Avoid going overboard at the office. Working mothers are often driven to show their employers that new motherhood will not affect their on-the-job performance. In their haste to prove motherhood won't prove a distraction, new mothers may take on more they can chew. Recognize that being a working mother does require an adjustment period, especially in the immediate weeks and months after maternity leave has ended and your body has yet to adjust to its new schedule. Accept help when it's offered and recognize that good employers understand the adjustments you will need to make in the immediate aftermath of a pregnancy. n Look for ways to reduce your workload at home. Juggling a career and new motherhood won't

just have an impact at the office. Part of making a successful transition from working professional to working mother is recognizing that adjustments need to be made at home as well. Both new parents are in the same boat, but mothers are the ones who spend the first three months at home with their new child, and during those three months new mothers typically develop a certain rapport with their new babies that new fathers do not. Babies may prove more comfortable being fed or rocked to sleep by mom instead of dad. In such instances, look for ways to reduce your workload at home, whether that's sharing cooking duties or other chores around the house that were once your responsibility alone.

(StatePoint) Parenting a teenager can be an uphill battle. In addition to the problems you may have faced in your youth, a new host of issues are presented by texting, sexting, social media and cyberbullying, point out experts. “Say the right thing and you’ll open up lines of communication. Say the wrong thing and it could lead to a fight or silent treatment,” says Joani Geltman, child development and parenting expert and author of “A Survival Guide to Parenting Teens: Talking to Your Kids About Sexting, Drinking, Drugs, and Other Things That Freak You Out.” (AMACOM). Geltman offers her “Top Ten Parenting Tips.” n Encourage teens to think independently. Restrain yourself from being chief problem solver, so they can make good choices even when you’re not around. n Try not to ask a zillion questions. You won’t get the answers you want anyway. Engage them in a conversation on a neutral topic before you start the interrogation. n Refrain from going on the “lecture circuit.” Model what it means to be a good person so you don’t need to tell them. They will “get it.” n As uncomfortable as it may be, you have to talk about sex. Do it with honesty, and understanding, not judgment. Talk about your own experiences when you were a teen, especially those moments of which you are the least proud so that they will feel freer to share their questions and worries. n When it comes to alcohol and

drugs, make your house safe. Again, have honest discussions, sans judgment. Help them to anticipate new situations and problem solve about ways to stay safe. n Don’t rule with an iron fist. This may have worked when the kids were younger, but teens need to be part of the rule making. Most kids are actually pretty reasonable when given the opportunity to have some control. n With their input, set limits with phones, computers and video games. Just like you let them eat only a few pieces of Halloween candy a night when they were younger, you need to see these devices in the same way. n Express your appreciation and pride in your teens. Not for the good test scores or grades necessarily, but for moments of kindness and hard work. There’s nothing more important than an out of the blue “you’re a good kid, and maybe I don’t tell you that enough.” n Find some fun with your teen. Hang out, watch TV, order pizza, go to the driving range, play a video game, listen to music, go get manis and pedis, bake a cake, take the dog for a walk, go shopping -- anything that may give you a moment, maybe just a moment, of sweetness with your kid. More parenting insights and information about the book can be found at http://joanigeltman.com/. When it comes to teenagers, the stakes can be high, with scary, emotional and even legal consequences. By being open and receptive, you can help navigate these treacherous waters.

As many new parents can attest, a new baby brings with it many mysteries. Considering children do not come with instruction manuals, it's up to Mom and Dad to learn the ropes through trial and error and with some advice from pediatricians, friends and relatives. One error new parents commonly make is introducing solid foods to their infants before the tots are ready. The American Academy of Pediatrics and Health Canada now recommend infants should not start solid foods until age six months. Breast milk or infant formula should be the food of choice for infants younger than six months. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity surveyed 1,334 women before they gave birth, and nearly every month during the first year of the child's life. Mothers were asked to report feeding habits. Forty percent of mothers gave their babies solid foods prior to age four months. The most common reason for giving the food was the mothers believed the baby was old enough to begin eating solid foods. Mothers also said that the baby seemed hungry a lot and was not satiated by breast milk or formula alone. More than 50 percent of mothers in the study responded that a doctor told them the baby could start solid food before four months old. Children who are introduced to solid foods too early may not be

developmentally ready to accept these foods. Studies also have linked the early introduction of solid foods with an increased risk of chronic diseases, such as obesity and eczema, later in life. Babies also may not be physically able to move their tongues and swallow properly to handle solid foods. Here are some guidelines for knowing when and how to introduce solid foods to a baby's diet. n Recognize readiness signs. Signs that your child is ready for solid foods include the ability to sit up and lean forward, good head control, the ability to pick up food and try to put it in his or her mouth and the ability to turn his or her head away to indicate fullness. If the baby watches you while eat and seems interested in your food, this may also indicate a readiness for solid food. n Begin with one food at a time. Most pediatricians recommend starting out with iron-fortified cereals as the first solid foods because they're least likely to cause an allergic reaction. These cereals can be diluted with milk or formula to make them more palatable. Others prefer to start with an iron-rich vegetable. Good starter vegetables include sweet potatoes, squash and peas. Before adding any more solid foods, stick with the initial food for at least one week or more to determine if the child can tolerate the food. Introducing solid foods to infants should only be done when the child is developmentally ready.

Sunday Bev and I attended Sami Halsey Angelo’s baby shower at Straight Home. She had a wonderful attendance, and received tons of onesies, and clothing with army logos on them. One little cap was so cute. Daddy Dre Angelo came to help her open her gifts. He is one proud daddy to be. He, also, is very kind to old ladies. When I have been at Diane’s and start down her marathon steps, and he is there, he always helps me down so that I don’t fall. Spring is officially here. Redeye and his trusty tractor and mower have been making the

grass fly. Stopped by Flowers by Glenda Friday and had her make a floral arrangement in a wooden bowl that Rusty had sent me from Japan at least thirty years ago. Beautiful. Also, had her make me three arrangements for yard. I forgot I had three more Shepard’s pole, so she is going to fix me three more. I love flowers in the yard, but I haven’t been able to take care of them, so am going the east way. Brother-in-law, Deener, is at Calhoun Care for about a month for therapy. He has been really sick for the past few weeks, and

been to doctor and in the hospital. Few prayers will be appreciated. Bub, our grandson, spent Friday with us, and we enjoyed supper with Bev and T. Chet, Vanessa and two giant dogs, and one that looks exactly like Bev’s Holly came up also. T had to work so Bev and Bub did the cooking. Not two shabby. Please pray for all the sick especially all who has cancer or all others who have deadly diseases and/or injured. And how was your week???? See you next week.

■ Blessings from Belleview Happy birthday to Debbie Hall who celebrates a birthday on May 6. We are excited about a few events coming up here at BCC. On May 3, we will be meeting for breakfast and a workday at the church. Spring is here and it is time to spruce up our church, both indoors and out. On May 10, some of the ladies in the church will be going to Quincy for a movie that will be premiering that weekend called “Mom’s Night Out.” Those who will be going out to eat will leave the church at 3:30 PM and those who will not be going out to eat will leave at 5:30 PM. On May 24, we will be having our Memorial Day Fellowship at 5:30 p.m. If you do not have any plans, you are welcome to join us for food, fun, and fellowship for the entire family. Great things are in store at BCC, a place where you become family. It was time to add another Calhoun County experience to my resume: I put on my Friday best (camouflage overalls) and rubber boots and headed out the door and deep into the woods prospecting Calhoun gold….morels. As I searched a nearby wooded area, I came to a steep hill that tat overlook where I stood. I was determined to find these treasured delicacies, not to sell, but to eat. I huffed and puffed and a climb to the top that would have been done within five minutes twenty years ago has now taken me twenty-five minutes. At long last, I had reached the

top and like Rocky, fist clenched and raised high above my head, I jumped and started shadow-boxing. Yes, I was the king of this hill and no one would dethrone me. That is, until I heard my wife screaming and her frantic foot falls pounded the pavement beneath her feet to oblivion. As I turned, I saw her hurriedly walking past me. The camouflage worked for I seemed well blended to the environment around me. A little angel on my shoulder told me to ignore her, the other reminded me that I would have to return home. “What?” I yelled, still breathing heavily from the difficult climb. She turned immediately, surprised and fearful at the same time. We stood just over 50 yards apart. Her on the road, me on the hill. “There….. is…..a….snake….in….the house” she said loudly and with huge gasps of air between each word. I know I have a hearing disability, so I asked her to repeat, because I was pretty sure she said there was a snake in the house. I learned that day that falling down the hill is more painful than climbing it. As I returned back to the house, my children were outside waiting for the return of their hero….me. My son excitedly informed me that there was a big fishing worm in the house. There is still much I need to teach him. I grabbed a hoe and search warily in the last place it was spotted. Between our

shoe shelf and the wall, I saw a brown snake with vertical yellow stripes running the entire length of its body coiled in a corner. With one swing of the hoe, I brought the snake to its dramatic demise. After the nerves of my wife finally settled, she came into my arms and batted her eyelashes at me and swooned “My hero!” Okay, the last part was not true but a man can dream, can’t he? Sometimes things come into our lives that are not welcomed, but they come anyways. Maybe they come because we take life for granted and let our guard down. Maybe they come because we are willing to look another way. Usually when those times come, we lose the sense of security. We no longer feel safe. In the days since that unwelcome visitor, my wife and I have been more vigilant and more on guard. In the back of our mind, the reminder of that unwelcome visitor is still fresh. Sometimes, we place our sense of security in the wrong things. I never did find any mushrooms that day, but I still got a Calhoun experience….a snake in the house. Thankfully, a kind church member brought me some mushrooms. Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5,6)

We know God makes the sun to shine And makes the stars to glow. He cares for every flower and vine, And makes the river flow. We know God makes the sky so blue And makes the raindrops fall. He touches all the grass with dewThe Lord, God, makes it all. We know God makes the birds to sing And he controls the breeze. Each season of the years He brings The lovely, budding trees. God’s wondrous works are everywhere; Such gifts He does bestow. He keeps us in His tender care. God loves the world, we know.

Thus they will know, as we know, that there is no God but You. (Sirach 36:4)

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL/SOFTBALL ROUNDUP

No-no? Yes, yes for pair of pitchers Calhoun one win shy of 20, Baalman returning to team Sam ELLIoTT Calhoun News-Herald

Mike Weaver/Calhoun News-Herald

Calhoun High School freshman Grace Baalman unloads a pitch earlier this season in Hardin. The Lady Warriors are 19-3 through 22 games this season and are in first place within the Western Illinois Valley Conference South standings entering a two-game series with Carrollton that began Tuesday in Carrollton. michaelrweaver.com

One of the sport's rarest occurrences was made to look commonplace as Calhoun High School's baseball and softball teams each got no-hitters from their respective starting pitchers against Greenfield-Northwestern Thursday in Greenfield. "That doesn't happen too often," Lady Warriors head coach Matt Baalman said. His daughter — Calhoun freshman Grace Baalman — had a hand in one of the no-hitters, striking out nine Greenfield-NW batters with no walks as the Lady Warriors won a 10-0 decision in five innings. The only baserunner the Lady Tigers managed came due to a Calhoun error. Senior Maddie Baalman — Grace's older sister and the team's starting pitcher the past three seasons — made her return to the Lady Warriors' lineup Thursday against Greenfield-NW. She missed the beginning of the season and all of basketball season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in her knee during volleyball's postseason. She went 1-for-3 with one run batted in. "We were hoping to get her back by May and it's all worked out," father and coach Baalman said. "We'll be fine. I think she's got possibly 13 games left in the regular season and she'll get to play them all." Meanwhile, next door at the Greenfield baseball field Thursday, Calhoun sophomore Mitch Bick tossed a no-no with 18 strikeouts and one walk as the Warriors baseball team beat the Tigers 9-0. Both teams are approaching the 20-wins mark for the season. The Lady Warriors are closest at 19-3 overall following a 2-1 trip to the Pleasant Plains Tournament Saturday in Pleasant Plains.

Calhoun beat the tournament host 7-0 to begin the day. Grace Baalman pitched a one-hit shutout with 11 strikeouts and sophomore Madison Lehr hit a home run to finish with two RBIs and as many runs scored while senior Samantha Gerson went 3-for-3 with three RBIs. Calhoun and county rival Brussels faced off in the teams' second games of the day. Calhoun won a 10-0 decision in four innings, which saw Lehr pitch a one-hit shutout and six strikeouts and one walk. Sophomore Sara Brodbeck, junior Becca Oswald and Gerson each went 2-for-2 and senior Allie Hurley added three RBIs. The Lady Warriors' lone loss Saturday came in a 1-0 decision against Lincoln to cap the day Saturday in Pleasant Plains. "They’re a bigger school and probably more experienced and the better team. We’re just the opposite," coach Baalman said. "We’re not experienced at seeing good teams and that was probably the difference in the game. We hit the ball well, but the break went their way. They played a good game defensively and they didn’t have many opportunities to score." The team's unblemished 5-0 record within the Western Illinois Valley Conference South has Calhoun in first place entering a two-game series with rival Carrollton (18-5, 7-1) that begins at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in Carrollton. The teams conclude the series at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in Hardin. "It is a rivalry and anything can happen," coach Baalman said. "I’d say we do have the advantage and we’ve got the pitching and nine solid hitters. We’ve probably got a little advantage, but you’ve still got to play the games. Anything can happen." The schools' baseball teams will follow a similar schedule. The Warriors are tied for first place in the WIVC South standings with defending champion North Greene at 5-1 while 16-9 overall. Carrollton is 12-8 overall and 4-2 within league play. selliott@campbellpublications.net
