High-dollar fraud losses up sevenfold

The scale of losses to older Americans due to imposter frauds are soaring.

The Federal Trade Commission just released a report showing adults over 60 years of age who reported losing more than $100,000 increased seven times from 2020 to 2024. That’s a 700% increase in these high-dollar scam losses in just four years.

Scammers are not really interested in a small payday of several thousand dollars. They are after all of your money!

How is this happening? Scammers know they must engage with people, and they must create a crisis, something with urgency and fear. They scare people.

All those phony emails and texts from Amazon, PayPal, Best Buy, US Postal Service, or the Geek Squad informing you of pending charges are sent out with one purpose – to coax the recipient to call in and settle the matter. But if you do call that number, you won’t settle anything. You will become a scam target, and you will hear about more scary stuff, such as:

• Someone is using your accounts. You will hear that money is routed through your bank account in the middle of the night to fund child porn, arms sales, or going to the “dark web.”

• The scammers tell you your information is linked to serious crimes. You will hear your social security number “shows up” in drug trafficking or the child sex trade.

• Your computer is compromised and is used to make the money transfers and facilitate the crimes they “discovered”

associated with you

SENIORS VS. CRIME

But that helpful person you talk to on the phone will work hard to clear your name and get you out of this situation. You just have to follow their instructions – which always involve moving your money away from your bank or credit union to a safe place.

Celeste came to me this week with a story that tracks closely the scenarios you just read about. Celeste uses an iPad. It locked up and she heard a shrill audio telling her, “You’ve been hacked.”

She called the number showing up on her screen and reached Apple Customer Service – she thought. That Apple rep told Celeste someone used her computer on the dark web to fund child porn and make arms sales. He told her he planned to have a Federal Trade Commission agent call her. And someone did call 90 seconds later. That guy offered to settle the whole matter for $30,000. But he settled for $10,000 to keep her accounts from getting frozen. The FTC agent told Celeste to go to her bank, make up a story for the teller, withdraw the $10,000, and stay on the phone. She did.

Next, the FTC agent told her to go to Fareway and deposit the money for safekeeping in an ATM and stay on the phone. She did. This is where fate starts to help out Celeste. The Fareway man-

ager, Bill Fowler, keeps a close eye on this cryptocurrency kiosk. When he saw Celeste come in, looking anxious and talking on the phone, he moved closer. When she withdrew her $10,000 from her envelope, he intervened, taking the phone and breaking that connection. He told Celeste she was being scammed and to keep her money. She did. Happy ending? Not quite.

The scammer called Celeste back and threatened her for “bringing a third party in.” Celeste said the whole episode terrified her, from start to finish.

No one from a government agency will ever tell you to move your money to “protect” it, deposit cash into a Bitcoin ATM, or hand off cash or gold bars to a courier. Those are always a scam.

How

to protect yourself

• Don’t transfer or send money to anyone in response to an unexpected call, even when they say you must “protect” it

• If you hear all this scary stuff and threats, talk to someone you trust.

• If you think that text or email might be real, verify. Contact that party using a phone number or email you know is real. Never use the contact number from an unexpected message

kidney failure, where she learned how to operate a dialysis machine in their home, he died on July 9, 1974.

John F. Booker

As students across Whiteside County head back to school, I want to remind drivers, parents and the community to take extra precautions to keep children safe.

Our children are our most precious resource, and it’s everyone’s responsibility to help them get to and from school safely.

That means slowing down; staying alert; and watching for children at bus stops, in crosswalks and around schools.

For drivers:

• Slow down and obey posted schoolzone speed limits.

• Stop for school buses when red

lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended – this is the law.

• Watch for children walking or biking to school, especially in neighborhoods and near schools.

For parents and students:

• Use crosswalks and obey crossing guards.

• If riding a bike, always wear a helmet and follow traffic rules.

• Remind children never to walk behind a bus and to wait for the driver’s signal before crossing the street.

The sheriff’s office will have an increased presence in school zones during the first weeks of school to help ensure safety.

As a community, we can make sure the school year starts off right by putting safety first. Please take the extra time to protect our kids.

• John F. Booker is the sheriff of WhitesideCounty.

Tampico woman strives to create healing community

By CODY CUTTER ccutter@shawmedia.com

The health industry will tell you its remedies are grounded in research. Carol Camper will tell you her remedies are, well … just grounded.

For her, our health should be something that comes naturally. She’d rather see people turn to plants than pills when they can, and she’s doing her part to help teach people how to build relationships with plants.

Camper owns Avalon Unity Garden, a 100-by-150-foot patch of land located just outside her Tampico home that’s open to visitors by appointment – but this isn’t your grandma’s garden: no neatly hoed rows of tomatoes and carrots and corn here. The 5-year-old garden is a carefully crafted maze of plants and fruit trees, a gathering place for people to relax, meditate and learn nature’s ways. It’s here that she offers classes on a host of plantbased topics – medicinal mints, flowers as food, plant identification, herbs for pets, and more – along with offering a place where people can gather for supportive ceremonies and events.

Growing up gardening with her father in Sterling, Camper has long been fascinated with Mother Earth’s offspring and the health benefits they can offer, something that has fallen by the wayside in the past century as modern medicine has given us no shortage of concoctions and chemicals designed to cure what ails us. She’s constantly researching to get the most out of what plants have to offer, even ones people consider pesky, like dandelions and creeping Charlie. If it worked hundreds of years ago, it can work today, she said – it’s just a matter of learning.

That’s where Camper comes in.

“I feel like I’m that bridge between the past and the future,” she said. “People really are not taught. We haven’t been encouraged to eat healthy, to really look at ingredients, and we think that if it’s on the ground, not to touch that. We’ve been conditioned to instant gratification and ‘I want it now.’ I come from a generation where Dad would pull a radish out of the ground, wipe the dirt off on his pants and eat the radish.

“Times have really changed.”

Camper considers the top four most nutritious herbs to be, in order, stinging nettle, lamb’s quarter, purslane and dandelion; each can be found in the garden. Stinging nettle, Camper said, “is the most nutritious herb that people can consume; it is like a multi-vitamin that’s loaded

poline frame used to create a large moon decorated with crystals, and a steel water pot hanging in a planting area with inspirational messages on it. The garden also helps put the “art” in “earth,” with an 18-foot-long piece called “Mother Earth,” sculpted from soil and covered in plants, and a dome-shaped Womb Room, a covered in-ground room.

At one corner of the garden is a circular area surrounded by a couple of dozen willow trees, which, when fully grown, will come together in a shelter of leaves and branches to create an area where people can gather and relax.

with all kinds of minerals. In the body, it works with every organ.” That, along with dandelions, is rich in vitamins A and C and is a popular ingredient in teas.

Lamb’s quarter, which is high in iron, and purslane also have health benefits and can be incorporated into our diets.

“Lamb’s quarter tastes good, and I really like it,” Camper said. “It’s high in iron, and it can be used as a green. For example, if you’re making tacos, it can be a lettuce substitute. I like to take purslane, dehydrate it and make it into a cracker. That way, when you’re snacking, you’re eating something that’s healthy for you that can clear any issues from normal grain like glyphosate, that can bother people’s stomachs.”

Want to know more? Camper invites you to enroll in one of her classes, where she shares information she’s learned from conferences and deep dives into books and other credible publications to learn more about what grows in the ground and the role it plays in our health. Classes on medicinal mints (such as creeping Charlie), edible weeds, and flowers as food are offered, as well as those on plant identification and what herbs are good for dogs.

Amaranth is a unique plant that has healthy effects for young women who are going through their menstrual cycle, Camper said, and while it can be a challenging time in their lives, Camper inspires them to embrace it. She can host puberty rites of passage ceremonies in the garden to help girls understand that their transition into womanhood is a blessing and not a curse, she said.

Another ceremony Camper hosts is one for women entering their crone years

– typically in their late 50s or early 60s –which celebrates the wisdom that the years have given them and helps instill confidence in them as they age.

“These rites of passage ceremonies, when you say that you are honoring a menstrual cycle, it changes the energy,” Camper said. “Right now, we have a society that invalidates our young people and invalidates our old people. You’re honoring the intuitive messages you get. That is going to change that pain to enlightenment or power. It helps her go out and say that they can face the world.”

The garden’s embrace offers an oasis of serenity that welcomes people to step in and step back from the hustle and bustle. The space can be rented for special ceremonies, private women’s circles, meditation, yoga classes and more. Camper even welcomes campers, renting the space to overnight RVers.

Camper also has dressed up the garden with decorative pieces, incorporating recycled materials, including a tram-

“People who have addiction issues or anxiety or high stress issues have come out and have said that the best part about it is that it’s peaceful,” Camper said. “It’s quiet. The things that seem to grab their attention aren’t here. We have yoga mats and coloring books for the kids, and they can just come sit in the garden and focus and let everything disappear. It’s a place that people are going to be able to gain the benefits of the plants.”

Feeding people, nourishing the air, keeping stuff out of the scrap pile, solar power, biodiversity, helping pollinators … they’re all roles the garden plays on her little corner of the world’s stage –important parts that help people connect with the planet and its plants. Those weeds we complain about can actually be greens that we snack on; it just all comes down to learning their benefits.

“When we find how valuable it is, it’s a game changer,” Camper said. “These plants are connecting you back to the food, the history, the connections that we once had with it.”

Making the Most of Space: Utilizing Underneath Your Solar Panels

SPONSORED

Ground-mounted solar panels do more than produce clean energy—they also create a valuable shaded area beneath them that is often overlooked. By putting this space to work, you can boost your homestead’s efficiency without needing extra land. Here are five smart ways to utilize the area underneath solar panels:

1. Chickens & Sheep. The shaded, protected ground under solar panels makes an excellent shelter for chickens and sheep. It keeps animals cool in summer and dry in wet weather. With rotational grazing and secure fencing, this space can double as a productive mini-pasture.

2. Firewood Storage. Firewood stays dry and wellaerated under solar panels. Stack it off the ground on pallets to prevent rot, and you’ve got a perfect, out-of-the-way storage area that doesn’t take up extra yard space.

3. Gardening and Shade Crops. Try growing shade-tolerant plants like lettuce, spinach, kale, or

herbs. This practice, known as agrivoltaics, not only makes use of the space under solar panels, but also conserves moisture and protects tender plants from harsh midday sun.

4. Tool and Equipment Storage. Tuck away wheelbarrows, shovels, hoses, and other gardening tools under solar panels to keep them dry and easily accessible. A simple tarp or small enclosure can offer extra protection from wind and rain.

5. Composting and Mulching. The consistent shade and moderate temperatures make the area under solar panels ideal for compost bins or mulch piles. Decomposition happens steadily, and you’re close to both the garden and livestock areas.

By using the space under your solar panels thoughtfully, you can maximize productivity, minimize waste, and create a more sustainable and organized homestead—all while generating clean power from above.

Post-pandemic rebound boosts SVCC enrollment

By BRANDON CLARK bclark@shawmedia.com

Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon is seeing a steady boost in enrollment, part of a post-pandemic rebound that college leaders say reflects a growing interest in its workforce-focused programs.

Vice President of Academics and Student Services Jon Mandrell said the number of students has been climbing for the past three years – from 1,507 two years ago, to 1,586 last year and now 1,686 this fall. That’s about a 10% jump from last year alone.

“We’re traditionally somewhere between 1,500 [and] 2,000 students,” Mandrell said. “We’re excited that our initiatives toward public service workforce efforts are way up. That includes education, criminal justice and our health care programs. We’re seeing those programs have considerable growth.”

Mandrell said the increase is showing across the board – from first-time and returning students to transfers – and reflects a post-pandemic rebound.

“We’re seeing a lot of students come to

senior in high school to get a jump-start on some of my college classes, get some of those gen eds out of the way, and it’s also pretty affordable,” Shirley said.

The Impact Program also is boosting interest in SVCC. It covers up to three years of tuition and fees for local high school students who complete 100 community service hours and meet program benchmarks.

SVCC Vice President of Advancement Lori Cortez said Sauk is welcoming its first cohort of Impact students this fall –16 students from Fulton and Prophetstown who enrolled in the program four years ago.

us that are looking for help and channeling whatever that next career pathway is for them,” Mandrell said. “We have a class now just for that, to help undecided students, that launched last year.”

One major pull for the college is The Academy at SVCC, which offers high-achieving high school seniors the chance to take college classes while developing leadership skills; completing

service projects; and participating in cultural, historical and scientific experiences. Students can earn transferable credits while completing their prerequisites.

This year, 15 students from nine area high schools are starting at the Sauk Academy. Dixon High School senior Keegan Shirley is one of them.

“It gave me the opportunity as a

“They have done over 100 hours of community service right here in our area to be able to earn their tuition and fees,” Cortez said.

Cortez added that Sauk’s new sonography program is drawing more students as well. The program was designed to address workforce needs in local hospitals, and the college is renovating facilities to give students access to state-ofthe-art technology.

Another standout for the school is its police academy – the eighth in Illinois – which opened to address challenges in accessing training and recruiting local officers.

“We have a full class, with 35 officers that graduate this month, and then another class starts next month, also with 35 officers,” Mandrell said.

Before the SVCC’s police academy was created, the nearest facility was more than two hours away, posing significant barriers for area law enforcement agencies. In 2021, representatives from SVCC and regional law enforcement began advocating for the program, and with support from the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board, local agencies and elected officials, it received approval in 2022.

For some, Sauk is more than a stepping stone – it is a launching pad. Michelle Diaz, president of the Association of Latin American Students and a sophomore sonography student, said the school’s affordabil-

ity and close-to-home location made it the right choice for her.

“My experience has led me to make connections with the president and the vice president,” Diaz said. “We help organize events, and it has led me to build a better leadership role here on campus.”

Alumna Anelli Salgado, who started at Sauk as a dual-enrollment student in 2012, went on to work for the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers and now works on the Home & Garden Television cable channel. She credits Sauk’s programs and connections for helping her to succeed.

“My education at Sauk and my experience not only as a student, but also for AmeriCorps and other programs like the Association of Latin American Students, definitely helped me broaden who I was as a student and now who I am as a professional,” Salgado said.

Mandrell said the college’s growth reflects its core mission.

“It’s the access to education right here in our community, the relationships that we have built, the responsiveness to the community and the affordability,” Mandrell said.

Fulton hopes to build off strong finish after missing playoffs

By TERRY DUCKETT Shaw Local News Network correspondent

Over the past decade, Fulton’s presence in the playoffs has been a given.

From 2014 to 2023, only once have the Steamers been on the outside looking in. That was in 2015 when Fulton went 4-5 to come up just short of extending its season to a 10th week.

A run of seven consecutive playoff appearances came to a halt last year. Three losses in its first four games, followed by back-to-back losses to start October added up to a 4-5 finish.

“All five of our losses were to teams that ended up in the playoffs,” Fulton coach Patrick Lower said. “But at the end of the day, we didn’t play well enough through to have a Week 10.”

With a new season on the horizon, Lower hopes Fulton can mark its fifth year as members of the Northwest Upstate Illini Conference by beginning a new run.

“Towards the end of last season, we were playing our best football,” said

Lower, who begins his 19th season at the Steamers helm just five wins shy of the 100-win mark. “It just didn’t work out that we were as sharp as we needed to be, and in the NUIC, that’s not going to get it done.

“Walking off the field at 2-5 [after a 60-36 loss to eventual Class 3A quarterfinalist Durand-Pecatonica in Week 7], we as coaches told ourselves that for these last two weeks, we had to get the guys ready to go, even though there wasn’t going to be a Week 10. I’m proud of the way our guys bounced back.”

Finishing with wins over Knoxville and longtime rival Morrison, the latter a 41-7 decision in the teams’ first Wooden Shoe Bowl meeting since the COVID-shortened 2020-21 spring campaign, was an ideal way to salvage a playoff-less season as Fulton placed sixth in the nine-team NUIC with a 3-5 mark.

“There was all kinds of pride for Week 9, playing for the Wooden Shoe,” Lower said. “We didn’t have an issue getting the guys up and ready to go for that one.”

Looking ahead, the Steamers will have some key holes to fill in their bid to get back on the right side of .500 and into the playoff picture.

Among their losses to graduation were a pair of first-team All-NUIC standouts in quarterback Dom Kramer and lineman Josiah Heald and all-conference second-team linebacker Skylier Crooks.

However, Fulton does return an important player in senior Braedon Meyers, who stepped in under center for an injured Kramer in the final third of the season and threw for more than 600 yards and 11 touchdowns in a 2-1 closing stretch.

Joining Meyers, an All-NUIC firstteam selection, will be senior lineman and honorable mention pick Mason Kuebel. Kuebel and classmate Jonah Lutz will join Meyers in the offensive backfield, with Lower also looking to senior linemen Wyatt Becker and Kody Schipper and senior wide receiver/defensive back Landen Leu

as key contributors.

“Going into last year, we were somewhat young with some veterans, and we’re that way again this year,” Lower said. “One of the things we always talk about is leaving the field at the end of practice better than when we walked on it at the start.

“We don’t talk much about last year, but it’s in both of our heads, the coaches as well as the seniors. They don’t want to be the group to not make the playoffs in their junior and senior year.”

A charter member of the Three Rivers Conference, Fulton will kick off its fifth season of NUIC football Aug. 29, traveling to Eastland-Pearl City before its home opener the following week against Du-Pec.

“I think it’s been a good move for us,” Lower said. “Du-Pec is a solid 3A team, but it always starts with LenaWinslow, which has been the cream of the crop in 1A the last 15 to 20 years. We’re hoping to be right in there with those teams.”
