attended Western Illinois University and grad uated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Education in 1975, and a Master of Science in Education in 1980. Teaching positions were scarce, but during student teaching the placement office at Western called and said there was an opening for a shorthand teacher in Mt. Carroll, Illinois. It was there that she met a young man named Dale Pfundstein.
Dale and Pamela were married on June 25th, 1977 and moved to the Pfundstein fami ly farm. There they raised two children, Emily and Cliff. Pamela continued to teach business and computers at Mt. Carroll high school until 1986 when she began teaching at Whiteside Area Vocational Center (now Whiteside Area Career Center). Her classes focused on help ing teach office, business, and sales skills to high school juniors and seniors. She worked with numerous local businesses to set up internships for students so they could do on the job training and gain experience in a field

We did it again. I was pretty reluctant to book a bus trip again. I should have never feared. We again have just about sold out the “Wicked” trip.
I even requested a few more tickets to make sure the bus was full.
As I type this, I have two seats left, so hurry! If you did not get tickets in time, you can call and we can put you on the list if anyone cancels.
Fall is here and so are the cool temps! Fall brings us to apple season and, my favorite, pumpkin season!
October is National Apple Month. Did you know that apples make up over half of the world’s fruit tree production. Apples are a high-fiber food item. A bushel of apples weighs about 42 pounds.
Apples are 25% water. It takes 36 apples to make one gallon of cider. The first written recipe for apple pie was written in 1381 in England. There are more than 2,500 varieties of apples grown in the U.S.! Who knew there were even that many varieties.
I have found a new variety that I like. I believe it is called the Cosmic Crisp. It is a cross between the Enterprise apple (never heard of this before) and the Honeycrisp apple.
One way to preserve your apples is to keep them refrigerated. Apples ripen six
to 10 times faster at room temperature versus being kept in the fridge. I had someone tell me they got apples from Terrapin Orchards in Elizabeth that were still good in March as they kept them in the refrigerator.
Halloween is my favorite holiday to decorate for. We are having a Pumpkin Carving Contest! Send us your carved masterpieces. There will be two catego ries, stencil and freehand. Email your pics to our office at carrollcfboffice@ gmail.com by Oct. 25. We will then start voting online.
I know for sure I am out of the office on Monday, Oct. 10. Our office also will be closed Oct. 31 through Nov. 7. I am always available by email.

The grant, known as the Research in Illinois to Spur Economic Development (RISE) initiative, helps local governments with economic development and recov ery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Only 42 communities in Illinois received funding during this round of grant funding. Fehr Graham was essen tial in the application, award and man agement of the RISE grant.
Freeport intends to use the grants funds to develop a plan for a river park and river walk located in the downtown area. Many communities capitalize on the beauty of their riverfront, and devel oping this area will help Freeport develop a “sense of place” and connect its beautiful downtown and cultural cor ridor to natural resources.
Other benefits to be explored in this plan include improvements in the city’s ability to attract and retain businesses, creating a more desirable tourism and visitor environment and providing a staging ground for entertainment events to be enjoyed by visitors and residents of the Freeport area.
FREEPORT – The Freeport Fire Depart ment has been awarded grant funds for ambulance acquisition. The funds were awarded by the Federal Emergency Man agement Agency Assistance to Firefight ers Grant Vehicle Acquisition Program.
The grant awards the Freeport Fire Department with $262,636.36 for the acquisition of a new ambulance. The department will be required to match 10% of the grant funds at $26,363.64.
“FEMA’s Vehicle Acquisition Program
is a highly competitive federal grant,” Deputy Chief Scott Stykel said. “We’re very lucky receive it.”
Since 2001, the Assistance to Fire fighters Grant has helped firefighters and first responders obtain emergency equipment, vehicles and other critical needs for public safety.

FREEPORT– FHN Memorial Hos pital is partnering with a number of regional hospitals to provide inpa tient pediatric hospital care after dis continuing inpatient pediatric ser vices Oct. 3.
FHN Memorial Hospital will con tinue to provide pediatric services 24/7/365 in the emergency depart ment, according to a news release.
“Please don’t hesitate to bring any member of your family to our ER for care,” FHN President and CEO Mark Gridley said. “If your child requires immediate medical attention, our spe cially trained Emergency Room staff and providers are here to provide expert emergent care.”
FHN will continue to offer pediat ric office visits and outpatient surgi cal services such as, but not limited to, tonsillectomy, orthopaedic repair and laparoscopic appendectomy, he said.
“This decision was not made lightly. As we have been able to offer advanced outpatient care in the office setting, the number of hospitalized pediatric patients at FHN has decreased by 54% over the past three years,” FHN Executive Vice Presi dent and Chief Operating Officer/
Chief Nursing Officer Kathryn Marti nez said. “When there is a low volume of inpatient pediatric patients, it is dif ficult to maintain the expertise and skill required to meet the clinical and developmental needs of our pediatric patients.”
Throughout the state, many rural and community hospitals transfer more complex pediatric cases to regional children’s hospitals, Marti nez said.
“Our collaboration with organiza tions who specialize in caring for pediatric patients such as UW Madi son, UW Swedes, OSF Children’s Hos pital of Illinois Peoria and other accepting facilities is in the best inter est of our smallest and most vulnera ble patients and is in alignment with FHN’s vision of delivering health care excellence to our community‚“ she said.
Pediatric health care services else where throughout FHN are not affected. FHN specialists and primary care providers will continue to care for patients of all ages. FHN pediatri cians Adam Angelilli and Sarah Beaves continue to care for patients at the FHN Family Healthcare Center – Burchard Hills in Freeport.

After keeping railroad enthusiasts waiting for weeks, the Silver View arrived in Oregon in a whirlwind of activity on Sunday, Aug. 21.
Cain is one of the Oregon Depot vol unteers who were instrumental in get ting the rail car moved to the Oregon Depot for its next restoration phase.
The signature Vista Dome car for Burlington’s famed Twin Cities Zephyr started its journey to Oregon when former Oregon resident Peter Medins, now of Woodstock, met Aber nethy, of St. Charles, the owner of the Silver View. The two were on a rail tour when they started talking about Abernethy’s ongoing restoration work on the sleek rail car that was sitting in Charles City, Iowa.

Earlier this year, officials from the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe (BNSF) agreed to replace and upgrade the “house” track – the track that once served the freighthouse – just west of the Oregon Depot for the Silver View to sit on.

Abernethy is president and tour operator of Zephyr Route, a small pri vately owned business he launched to fund the restoration of the Silver View.
The Oregon Depot has been restored by local volunteers and houses a museum that reflects the history of train travel to and from the town of 3,800, located 40 miles west of DeKalb. For more information about the Oregon
Depot visit http://oregondepot.com.
