A Loving Mothership OnMilwaukee.com The Mothership Connection By ItsMrLucky Nov. 3, 2008 at 9:50 a.m. Sunday November 2nd, 2008 - Vernon Hills, IL/Burlington, WI/Kenosha, WI All kinds of running around today. I had a one day comedy seminar scheduled at Zanies in Vernon Hills but only two people showed up. There was some confusion on the day for some reason and apparently a few people showed up yesterday instead. I need to organize. I’m trying my best but I’m having a hard time keeping everything straight. I’m trying to come up with more lessons and streamline the ones I have and keep my booking schedule together and try to be the King of Uranus and it’s piling up too high for me to keep track. I’ll get it done though. This is a great challenge. I love challenges. It’s up to me to put a plan together to make sure I’m covered in all areas. I feel like I’m a football coach of my own life. I can hire coordinators and position coaches but I’m the one who calls the shots. I’m just getting back started with classes so I’ll figure out how to best promote and put a schedule together as it goes. Trial and error has always been how we got people out for classes and that will continue. The ones who come are glad to be there so that’s not at all the problem. I just need to get on the same page and have some people working with me. Since there was no full seminar I drove up to the Burlington Vortex Conference for the last day of lectures. I finally got to hear Stanton Friedman speak live and he was riveting. It was a very well received event and those who were there sure got their money’s worth. Scott Markus and Lara Schafer are my co-hosts on the Mothership Connection and they were both there too. We got our picture taken with Stanton and a few of the others on the program for our website and it was all a great opportunity to make contacts for the future. After the conference we went to a restaurant in Rochester, WI which is supposed to be a lightning rod for haunting. It was close so we decided to check it out for future live shows or a ghost hunt with the Wisconsin Paranormal Investigators who we’ve had on our show. We didn’t see any ghosts, just a few people at the bar drinking spirits watching football. We ate our dinner and I just thought about how much fun this whole show is. Scott is the perfect co-host for this because he’s really organized and loves ghost stories. He wrote his ghost book and also is a film maker and he’s very bright. Lara really adds to the show too. It’s good to have a woman’s voice in the mix and she’s not a bubblehead at all. She can ask a smart question out of the blue and doesn’t have to be coached. Plus we’re all into all the topics we talk about because they’re interesting. Are ghosts and UFOs real? We’d like to find the answers and talk about it on the radio in an intelligent and entertaining fashion. We had a strong show all night tonight. We’re getting more and more at ease on air as a team and I knew we would. Gary Pansch showed up too so we had a full studio but that’s not a problem. He always adds to the mix and we had a fun time. Filling two hours wasn’t always easy but now we’re rolling and it’s no problem. We’ve got something with this. |

| On October 31, 2008, Kenosha Paranormal was invited to be a part of The Burlington Vortex Conference 2008 in Burlington, Wisconsin. The paranormal conference was hosted by the Sci-Fi Cafe (Brad and Mary Sutherland, proprietors) in historical downtown Burlington. On the premises were many reknowned speakers and authors; Stanton Friedman, Sherry Strub, Heidi Hollis, and Tecomseh Brown Eagle are just a few. On site also were Phyllis Galde, Editor-in-Chief of Fate Magazine, AM1050 WLIP's The Mothership Connection radio crew, and Ed Shanahan. Many friends, and other people who were just curious, stopped out there to say hello to us and show their support. We met some very nice folks, the weather was beautiful...and we had a great time there that day. Special thanks to the host and hostess, for having us out there for the conference. |

| The Amazing Godwin
by David F. Godwin (December 2008)--This column is unusual in that it consists primarily of a conference report—but a conference report with implications. Editor-in-Chief Phyllis Galde and I attended the debut of the Vortex Conference in Burlington, Wisconsin, over the Halloween weekend. The meet was organized by Mary Sutherland, “everybody’s mom” and the leading figure in promoting the weird wonders of the town. And Burlington is weird. No doubt about it. Wisconsin as a whole seems to be a hotbed of paranormal activity, but Burlington has it all in spades. Just for starters, the city was built around 1836 on ancient, pre-Colombian burial mounds. Later, it was the headquarters of an offshoot of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons). In 1843, after the death of Joseph Smith, James Strang differed with Brigham Young on the right of succession and formed his own splinter group in Voree, Wisconsin, in what is now Burlington. To solidify his claim, he asserted that he had received another special revelation carved on tablets, the so-called Voree plates, dug up in 1845. The site of the plates’ discovery is now commemmorated by a brass plaque mounted on a boulder. It is in the woods back of a cow lot. If you don’t know where it is, you would never find it. It is not marked on the highway and no signs point to its location. For another thing, the basements of Burlington all seem to be connected by a mysterious series of underground tunnels. These were reportedly used by the Underground Railroad before the Civil War and later by Al Capone for the purpose of smuggling whiskey. But no one knows their true origin or purpose. On the first night, Mary took us on a tour of a nearby woodland, the location of many strange energies. I had trouble keeping my balance on the dark, rocky trail, as if I were being nudged or shoved. We stood in a circle, where the above photo was taken. A double exposure (with a digital camera?), or astral bodies slipping out? Burlington is just plain strange. David F. Godwin is the Managing Editor of FATE and author of numerous articles, columns, books, and other materials |

| Chief Tecumseh Brown-Eagle;
Burlington and the Burlington Vortex Conference 2008 After several radio show conversations prior to the Vortex Conference Mary invited me to Burlington Wisconsin. Never having been to Wisconsin, I did not know what to expect. Burlington, with my eyes soon to be wide open, I found to be an oasis in the middle of nowhere. Why on earth would someone place a city in this place? After arriving at the Sci-Fi Café I was greated by my sister Mary Sutherland. (Wow what a beautiful and warm place! ) During the conference we had the opportunity to go to what is termed the "Haunted Woods". I personally believe those woods are like one of many antennas to other dimensions. You can feel a magnetic yet bend in time and space. I could feel how different this place was. It reminded me of my visit inside the great pyramid in Egypt. That night after eating and back at the hotel my roommate Peter Moon suggested we get earplugs due to my heavy snoring caused by the clean ionized air. I was so rested and at peace after my visit to the Haunted Woods! The next day at the conference, it seemed that time stood still, yet the time change would not take place until later that night. While visiting one of the most profound Tai Chi School, I ran into someone who was taught out west by another Erie, PA native. The conference was total class with the most profound individuals on the Ufo/spirit matter connections ever assembled. It would rival any conference! Next was the tour of the city of Burlington, WI. This was given by Mary who pointed out not only the secret tunnel system but the above ground layout of an out-post and the 6 figure layout of the city. From the houses to the businesses, the mystic tower, the Masonic lodge, to the streets, how time is bent when crossing an area, the smell of chocolate, meeting of the good reverend and the total spiritual aspect including the mystical numerical codes of the roads and routes. It has trains, waterways, underground tunnels, American Indian burial and ceremony mounds. This place had all of the mysteries of ancient and modern beings and inter-extra Galaxy travel. I was so overwhelmed and will need a few more visits and an opportunity to bring some people with me so I can monitor their experiences. Tecumseh Brown-Eagle; Chief of The Erie Indian Moundbuilders Tribal Nation |
