Don’t trash pumpkins, smash them at SVCC event Nov. 8

SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com

Whether picking out pumpkins from a field or carving fun faces into them with friends, pumpkins show everyone it’s the fall season.

But what happens when it’s time to say goodbye as they melt on the porch?

Many think that a thrown-away pumpkin will break down and disappear. Not exactly. The reality is pumpkins are organic waste that fills landfills, releases greenhouse gas methane during decomposition and leaches water through trash piles to nearby waterways.

Green up Halloween by recycling pumpkins into compost at a free, outdoor Pumpkin Smash hosted by University of Illinois Extension from 10 a.m. to noon Nov. 8 at Sauk Valley Community College next to the baseball field.

Park in the main SVCC parking lot and take the “people mover” to the field for a

pumpkins that are free of candles, stickers, glitter, yarn and any other synthetic decorations to this fun, community event for all ages.

Participants will smash them with different tools, and they will become compost for the pumpkin field.

Smash stations will include a trebuchet, mallets, sling shots, piñata style and more. Then, when the pumpkin is pulverized, take a rest by playing pumpkin-themed games and enjoying other family-friendly activities provided by 4-H, Extension Master Gardeners and other community organizations.

This event will happen rain or shine. No fee or registration is required to attend. For information, contact Bruce J. Black at brucejb@illinois.edu or 815-6323611.

Savanna family hunts down paranormal mysteries

Cameras

roll, meters hum, and a Savanna family hunts for what the living cannot see

By CODY CUTTER ccutter@shawmedia.com

You’re home alone when you hear a sound. Maybe it’s the wind sneaking through a window, or a door creaking to a close – or maybe it’s something else. Something … not normal.

Jessica Finley might know what it is. She specializes in getting to the bottom of things that don’t conform to the norm with her business, 2 a.m. Paranormal in Savanna.

Doors and drawers that open and shut by themselves? Weird sounds from a baby monitor? Something that gives you goosebumps in the night? There’s an explanation for everything, and Finley likes to ferret out the phenomena that could explain things.

Her line of work is in the “not normal” – the paranormal, to be exact; those things that seem to lack a scientific explanation. If there’s a mystery behind the mysterious, she likes to solve it, and she doesn’t need Scooby Snacks and a Mystery Machine to do it – nor does she think she’s going to catch a ghost and reveal a sneering villain under a mask grumbling about “meddling kids.” For her, ghosts are the real deal ... or rather, the ethereal deal.

“Yes. Yes, I do. I have seen them with my own eyes,” she said, and she’s made it her and her family’s mission to help others make sense of the unexplainable, one eerie creak or flicker of light at a time.

Finley guides her team of family members who enjoy solving mysteries, explaining the unexplainable and getting to meet new people – living or dead. The team has explored haunted homes and places throughout Illinois and Iowa, using equipment that can detect sudden changes in the air to figure out why strange things happen.

“People have reached out and have said they have some weird stuff going on in their house, and want us to come and check it out,” Finley said. “It’s important enough if they are concerned and are upset enough to call me. They probably have something going on.”

Paranormal investigation is the

with eyes wide open, so she’s not influenced one way or the other. Plus, if she runs across something on her own, it can reinforce her findings. There might just be a “there” there, even if she’s not sure what’s there.

“When I go to someone’s house, I don’t want to know a whole lot, just the basics and whatever they have going on,” Finley said. “I want to walk through myself and see what I can pick up. If I pick up something that there’s no way I would have a way of knowing that unless they told me, that can prove that what I’m doing is real.”

road, the riverboats, gangsters from Chicago who would come to town.”

Finley has found that some nights on the job can pass quietly, but even then, she said, she can usually capture something – an unexplained sound, a shift in energy or a flicker of light that shouldn’t be there.

“You can spend the night somewhere and not get anything,” Finley said. “I’ve been pretty lucky so that I’ve always captured something, somewhere.”

study of unexplained phenomena, primarily focusing on claims of ghosts and hauntings. Equipment and techniques are used to collect evidence and experience supernatural events, a task that involves documenting alleged activity through photos, audio and historical research, while also trying to find natural explanations before considering other possibilities.

It can take a lot of patience to unravel a mystery, Finley said, and she doesn’t want too many details before she takes on a job. She wants to approach each job

Ghosts and paranormal activity fascinated Finley as a child growing up on farms around Independence, Iowa, and she’s turned that fascination into a business, sometimes joined by her sister Angie Speed, husband Harvey Finley and daughter Nicole MacCann on her investigations. She said they’ve come to know different presences throughout Savanna, a town only three years shy of its 200th anniversary, since moving there about a decade ago.

“There’s a lot of energy in this town,” Finley said. “I’m sure there was a lot that went on because there was the rail-

Each investigation begins with a prayer and sometimes ends with a ritual cleansing, such as burning sage, to put worried homeowners at ease. Even dolls, she notes, have long been thought of as vessels for spirits.

She and her team come armed with equipment such as milligauss meters that detect changes in magnetic units in open space, and others that pick up changes in temperature, pressure and humidity. Electrical and power sources at the site also are identified beforehand to make sure their equipment isn’t simply picking up electricity. Cameras and recorders also are part of their arsenal.

See PARANORMAL, page 5

A Mel meter is a handheld electronic device used in paranormal investigations to detect fluctuations in electromagnetic fields and ambient temperature, which are believed to be indicators of spirit presence.

Continued from page 3

Once they’re in place and set up, then the waiting begins, often for two or three hours sitting in the dark, watching monitors and hoping to find answers amid the silence and darkness.

Finley explains to clients what each tool does and shares with them what readings might mean, a spike, for example. She also urges them to take their own photos, since unexplained shapes and shadows sometimes show up best in pictures, she said.

Sometimes connections with a spirit are fleeting – maybe they’re an unwilling tenant tethered to the earthly plane just waiting to go on to the next world.

“A lot of times when a place is being haunted, that spirit is just stuck there because sometimes they need their story told,” Finley said. “We’ve had it happen where we figure what’s going on, get information and then the activity either slows way down or stops.”

The business is based out of the second floor of downtown Savanna’s Pulford Opera House, itself a place that some say has a haunted history. The second floor once was home to an antique mall (there’s another such

store on the first floor today), and Finley has heard stories of customers who said they felt an unexplained presence – a tug on their hair or a pull on their purse.

The building, named for wealthy businessman Bothwell Pulford, was the site of a murder in May 1905. Daniel Berry, a prominent Savanna attorney, legislator and community leader, was shot and killed outside his second-floor office. It was a crime that was never officially solved. Suspicion centered on two men: a recently released ex-convict that Berry had prosecuted, and Pulford, rumored to be jealous over Berry’s alleged relationship with his wife, Lucinda.

Just days after the murder, Pulford died by suicide in his barn near town, fueling speculation that he had been the killer. While Pulford’s death was ruled a suicide brought on by mental collapse, Berry’s murder remained a mystery, casting a shadow over the community for a time.

Today, the story of the building’s storied past is still being told. During one weekend a year, Finley’s team invites help from others interested in paranormal activity. They hosted an overnight stay there on Nov. 2 last year – a date coinciding with the popular

Mexican holiday of Día de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) that honors deceased loved ones, believing their souls return to visit them – and will have this year’s on Nov. 1 (more information about it will be released on 2 a.m. Paranormal’s Facebook page closer to the event). Tours of the opera house also are available by appointment.

Finley also has cameras keeping an eye on things inside the opera house, keeping closed-circuit eyes peeled for anything unusual, such as orbs, doors opening and closing, or the occasional chair sliding on the floor.

“We’ve picked up the spirits of Pulford and of Berry,” Finley said. “There were a couple of kids that I was actually able to get pictures of, and I think it was those of the kids who would pull on the purses and the hair. There are other spirits here other than the ones that you think. What’s unique about this is that generally I can come here and bring some equipment and I can get something almost every time.”

Another local place the team has visited often is Willow Creek Farm, west of Shannon on Spring Valley Road. The farm and its house have been the site of what investigators believe is paranormal activity in recent years.

Finley and her team have stayed overnight there to take a closer look and received a visit from a ghostly guest.

“When we were sitting around a table, there was a little girl there, her name’s Lilly, and we had a piece of equipment and were watching it and talking, and all of a sudden it felt like I had a hand on my leg, and it was almost like a child was climbing up to sit on my lap,” Finley said. “That was pretty cool.”

It’s experiences like that that keep Finley and her family searching for clues to what lies beyond, and while others may have both feet firmly in the physical world, that doesn’t mean they can’t take one step beyond. Who knows that they might find there? It may even be peace of mind. For some who’ve enlisted 2 a.m. Paranormal’s services, confronting the unexplained has allowed them to not only feel validated but also find comfort in the answers that Finley may provide.

“There are people who say there’s no paranormal activity or ghosts,” Finley said, though that doesn’t mean there’s not a ghost of a chance that they can’t be convinced. “We’ve had a lot of people up here who have said they don’t believe at all …,” but she said, “they’re on the road to believing.”

Pathways Playground inspires 1,300 Sauk Valley eighth graders to dream big

By BRANDON CLARK bclark@shawmedia.com

Hands-on activities and career chats gave local middle schoolers a glimpse into their futures Friday, Oct. 17, during the annual Pathways Playground career exploration event.

Hosted by Regional Office of Education 47 at Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon, the event drew more than 1,300 eighth graders from 19 schools in the Sauk Valley.

“Pathways is designed for students to try on different careers in high school before they decide on college or career or trade schools,” Pathway Navigator Chanda McDonnell said. “What we’re doing today is trying to plant the seed for students and give them that idea of what might be out there after school.”

For some attendees, the highlight was exploring business opportunities. Corben Considine of Byron said his favorite part of the event was learning about entrepreneurship.

“I want to be able to have fun with my friends and make some money,” Considine said. “I don’t know what I want to do yet, but I’m thinking about it.”

For other students, including Makayla

Pineda of Ashton-Franklin Center, the hands-on activities stole the show.

“I really liked the ultrasound activity,” Pineda said. “We took a wand with some jelly and rubbed it around the belly, and we could see the head and different parts of the baby.”

At the CGH Medical Center booth, Nursing Program Director Jennifer Grobe gave students a taste of hospital life. She taught basic CPR, showed how respiratory therapy works, and let students practice injections on training materials.

“I like to get them hands-on so they know there’s a light at the end of the tunnel when they start biology class,” Grobe said.

Grobe also highlighted a variety of health care roles beyond nursing, including radiology, surgical technology, dietary services, and even maintenance and kitchen positions, emphasizing teamwork and the many paths students can take in the medical field.

Created under the state’s 2016 Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness Act, the Illinois College & Career Pathway Endorsement Program allows students to earn a formal endorsement on their high school diploma or transcript by complet-

ing a series of structured requirements designed to prepare them for life after high school in their chosen career path.

Students choose from one of seven career pathways:

• agriculture food and natural resources

• health sciences and technology

• finance and business services

• arts and communications

• information technology

• human and public services

• manufacturing, engineering, tech-

nology and trades

“There’s different incentives for doing these Pathways, and requirements to earn those endorsements on your transcript,” McDonnell said.

According to the PWR Act, to qualify for the endorsement, students must:

• Complete an individualized learning plan that outlines their college pathway and relates to their career goals and plans for financial aid. They also must include a

A historical marker designating a spot in the River Front Park as the site of Fulton’s first Market Place was dedicated and presented to the city of Fulton in ceremonies at the park. Mrs. Clarence Vander Bleek Jr., president of the Junior Women’s club, made the formal presentation to Mayor Warren Wiersema, who responded with a few words of thanks for the work done by the club in helping to beautify the city.

Construction projects are nearing completion. The most noticeable, the Fourth Street improvement project, is almost complete. Kinney Excavating Company said the blacktop is scheduled to be laid and after that, city crews and merchants will begin the beautification project with the laying of bricks and the planting of shrubbery between the curb and the street. Construction has begun at Agri-King, Inc., and the 7-11 grocery store and 12-unit apartment building on 14th Avenue are expected to be completed the first of the year.

The Fulton Community Fund drive should be completed this week after volunteers complete the door-to-door canvass. Campaign directors are pleased with the response to the fund, with only $500 left to complete the goal of $14,000.

In an election that is as puzzling perhaps as any held for some years, voters of the River Bend School District will attempt to elect three members to the Board of Education. Three places on the board are to be filled and only two of those whose names appear on the ballot may be elected. This means that one write-in candidate may be elected.

Foundations are in place for the new large multipurpose room at Fulton High School and masons are expected to begin constructing the walls. Similar work is expected at the other three schools where work is underway for additional classrooms. All additions to the four schools will be completed by August of next year.

Construction of the Chewton Glen Energy tire recycling plant could be started by mid-December, according to a representative of the company. The Council approved an amendment to extend $60 million in industrial revenue bonds. When construction begins on the plant there will be as many as 300 people employed at the site. The

plant will convert an estimated 9.3 million old tires into 32 megawatts of electricity per year.

Fulton American Legion has received a donation of land from the local Community State Bank. The land is a small rectangular shaped piece of land to the south of the wooded area of the intersection at Route 84 and 10th Avenue and north of the Midwest Vision and Wilkin Dentistry Office. The Legion plans to relocate a howitzer and add flagpoles and a suitable plaque on the site.

Central Bank donated $500 toward the Accelerated Reader Program at Fulton Elementary School. The funds donated by Central Bank will be used to purchase awards, books and posters as incentives and recognition for the students to keep reading. The program allows each child to work up to their maximum reading potential in a non-threatening, noncompetitive way.

Fulton Chamber of Commerce board of directors and the city of Fulton administration have been visiting with a handful of volunteer groups in Fulton that have gone above and beyond to give back to the community.

Ten groups that benefit Fulton Tourism, Fulton businesses, or the city of Fulton as a whole were selected. The groups that were acknowledged were Volunteer Millers at de Immigrant Windmill, Volunteer Educators at the Windmill Cultural Center, Early American Crafters at Heritage Canyon, Boy Scout Troop 117, Fulton Girl Scouts, Fulton Fire Department, Fulton EMS/ Ambulance, Fulton Food Pantry, and Fulton Kiwanis. One group remains to still receive its plaque.

At the Oct. 19 meeting of the Fulton City Council, aldermen voted no on a proposal to change Fourth Street between 10th and 13th avenues to a oneway going north. The proposal was originally brought to the Council at the July 6, 2015, meeting of the council.

“We’re up to 18 school districts that now offer Pathways in their high schools,” McDonnell said.

Participating school districts include:

• Riverbend School District 2

• Dixon Public Schools District 170

• Rock Falls High School District 301

Morrison Lions’ annual holiday ham sale underway

SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com

It is time to think about Thanksgiving and Christmas and a Morrison Lions Club holiday ham.

Orders for the hams are needed by Sunday, Nov. 3, for delivery on Friday, Nov. 21.

Orders for Christmas hams must be received by Monday, Dec. 1, for delivery Friday, Dec. 19.

Hams are boneless, cooked and smoked. Small sizes will range from 6 to 10 pounds and large will range from 11 to 20 pounds. The exact size of any ham cannot be guaranteed.

Cost is $5 per pound. Contact any Lions member or call Jim Blakemore at 815-631-1781, Darlene Smith at 815-7722346 or Ken Jansma at 309-236-8960. Proceeds from the sale help support the visual and hearing impaired and Morrison Lions Club community projects.

The Lions have been busy with several activities this fall.

The weather was perfect for the annual Lions Candy Days on Oct. 10 and 11. Community members and business owners supported the drive and Morrison Lions express a sincere thank you

to all who donated.

Funds collected are used for vision and hearing needs. Lions of Illinois Foundation receives 60%, and 40% is kept by the club for community needs.

Another service project is the annual fall cleanup on one mile of U.S. 30 East, which was completed Oct. 17. The club has had this as a service project for years. Interesting items are always found each time the volunteers complete the cleanup.

The club also took part in the Morrison Homecoming Parade on Oct. 3. This year the Lions’ mascot rode on a motorcycle while members walked the route carrying banners that displayed a list of its many service projects. The Lion was a big hit with all the children.

Lions members enjoy having fun and participating in the service projects that are undertaken throughout the year.

The Lions invite anyone interested in knowing more about what Lions do to visit their monthly meetings at noon on the first and third Tuesday of the month at Happy Joe’s, 109 W. Main St. in Morrison. An interesting and informative program is presented on the first Tuesday’s meeting dates. Business meetings are on the third Tuesday.

Polo hits 70-point mark in win over South Beloit

By CODY CUTTER ccutter@shawmedia.com

If Polo was looking to get its offense fine-tuned before heading into the Illinois 8-Man Football Association playoffs, it picked the right game to do it.

Polo ended the regular season with a 70-42 nonconference win over South Beloit.

Polo (8-1) enters the 8-man playoffs as a No. 3 seed and will battle No. 14 Hiawatha (5-4) in the first round. Polo beat Hiawatha 54-14 in Week 8 of the regular season.

Against South Beloit, Marcos junior running back Mercer Mumford and senior quarterback JT Stephenson provided most of the offense for Polo, logging 336 yards of the Marcos’ 440 and all but one of their 10 touchdowns. The pair connected on pass plays for two scores, Stephenson had four TD runs, and Mumford had two TD runs and a 89-yard kick return on a reversal after a Stephenson catch.

Junior running back Jordan Reed’s 68-yard TD run in the fourth quarter saw the Marcos crack 70 points for the first time this season.

“Overall, it was a pretty good game,” Mumford said. “We had some lows, but we managed to pull through to get the victory. Our line held up great when they needed to and picked up our big guys when they needed to. Our backs hit the holes and helped us get long runs.”

The Marcos overcame a lost fumble on an early punt return to lead 14-8 at the end of one quarter after a 32-yard score by Mumford and his kick return. Polo led 32-14 at halftime after two scores from Stephenson and one by Mumford.

“It took us a couple of tries to get going,” Stephenson said. “We dropped a punt to give them two offensive possessions in a row, but we pulled it off.”

The Sobos (7-2) got as close as 40-28 in the third quarter after scoring back-toback touchdowns. Senior quarterback/ defensive back Kaden Cook started the

run with a three-yard TD at 4:24 to cap a drive that began with his interception of a Stephenson pass at the 50. Sophomore Cristobal Ortega recovered an onside kick to give the Sobos the ball back, and Jaycee Schober capitalized with his third rushing touchdown at 2:14.

Senior lineman Wyatt Plachno captained both lines of scrimmage for Polo and blocked a punt in the fourth quarter.

“Our line did pretty good and did our assignments correctly,” he said. “Our D-line did pretty good for what it is and filled holes when they needed to be filled.”

On the ground, Polo had triple-digit nights from Mumford (23 carries, 220 yards) and Stephenson (15 carries, 162 yards).

Marcos senior Quinton Hart had an onside kick recovery after a Stephenson run put Polo ahead 46-28.

Friday, Oct. 24

Galena 26, Fulton 7: Wyatt Connor had the lone score for the Steamers (2-7, 1-7)

in the home loss to Galena (5-4, 4-4).

Marquette 66, Morrison 23: The Mustangs closed the season 2-7 after falling at home as the Crusaders (6-3) got a sixth win.

Princeton 48, Erie-Prophetstown 0: Princeton scored on all five of its first-half drives – two set up by interceptions –and the Tigers routed playoff-bound Erie-Prophetstown.

The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for the Panthers (6-3), who will head to the playoffs for the second year in a row.

“We did not play too well,” E-P coach Tyler Whitebread said. “We couldn’t match their physicality, so you have to give them credit for that. ... Our first half all around wasn’t very good.

“At this point, this game doesn’t matter. Nothing that happened in the past matters. We have to refocus, regroup and play better and figure out who we’re going to play and get a new game plan.”
