Drive-in begins regular showings with new owners

Double features set every weekend through October

On the day after a date to the Earlville drive-in theater, Paul Bottomley proposed to his now wife Shelley.

It was the beginning of a love affair of film, popcorn and summer nights along U.S. 34.

After the unexpected passing of owner Ron Magnoni Jr. in February, the Bottomleys had a significant challenge ahead of them – how to keep the business they loved going into its 70th year.

Paul Bottomley was busy Thursday working in the kitchen the day before the opening of a “Barbie” / “The Flash” double feature Friday night, the first showings after a delayed start to the season. He has been in and around the drive-in since he was a teenager.

“He’s the Mr. Fix-It,” Shelley Bottomley said, perched on a stool behind the concession stand counter that has

remained unchanged in decades, “and I take care of everything up here.”

The building housing the projector, bathrooms and concession stand remain the same as years ago. With a few exceptions, such as new cash regis -

ters that can take credit cards, and the digital projector, the drive-in still has window speakers and a double-feature that kicks off at dusk.

IVCC to offer classes for education majors 5

Illinois Valley Community College offers classes for those considering a career in the educational field this fall.

“Education has a vast number of career opportunities that are easily overlooked,” said Vice President of IVCC Student Services Mark Grzybowski. “As the needs of learners become more diverse it is important for the educational system to remain in step and for incoming students to acquire the skills for the creation of optimal student learning. IVCC is a

great place to consider the array of educational opportunities and to spring board a career in education. Traditional careers remain viable in early childhood, elementary, secondary and special education, but there are other opportunities that many incoming students may not even be aware of.

“Schools are staffed with a variety of positions like guidance counselors, social workers, technology experts, administrative assistants, administrators, maintenance, janitorial, curriculum designers, school psychologists, psychometrists, education and resource development, text book writers, sales, adult education and my personal favorite student services personnel.”

IVCC offers the required basic gen-

eral education classes for the field of education. A student can expedite their way to a state or in-state private university by earning an Illinois Articulation Initiative/Core General Education Curriculum package, about 37-41 credits depending on the courses they select, an Associates Degree in Arts or Science – 60 credits designed to transfer on to a university to earn a bachelor’s degree in education or an Applied Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education as well as ladder or stacked credential opportunities for certification.

“Through the years incoming students come into my office and tell me they are thinking they might want to be a teacher, but really aren’t sure if that’s the career for them,” said IVCC Counselor Valery Calvetti. “Students

are drawn to teaching as a natural evolution given the amount of time they have already spent in a classroom. Their expressed interest is an opportune opening to begin the journey of career exploration inviting me to open up avenues they maybe hadn’t been considering or even exposed to in the field of education. Questions begin along the lines of what’s attractive to you about education? Is it the subject area, the creativity and we continue along those lines until something sparks their interest.”

IVCC has online, in-person classes on the main and Ottawa campuses and a limited number of classes that blend online and in-person learning. Classes begin on Aug. 16 and fall registration is underway at 815-224-0447 or www. ivcc.edu/register.

Cajun Connection announces tentative closing date

Cajun Connection owners Ron and Amy McFarlain announced Thursday the Utica icon’s last day of business will be later this month.

”The time has come, the Cajun Connection’s last day will tentatively be Saturday, Aug. 19,” the business owners posted to their Facebook page. “We would love to see all of our customers for one last visit.”

The restaurant was listed for sale in August of 2022 and the owners said a labor shortage marked the end of the restaurant’s 28 years.

”Businesses are looking for people all the time now and it’s taken a toll on our employees,” Ron McFarlain said then. “We just can’t get the kids to come in on the weekends to work.”

The McFarlains said they would remain open until a buyer was found. No announcement was made indicating a sale, but the property at 2958 Route 178, Utica, is listed as contingent by Coldwell Banker Realty.

The Cajun Connection attained a national profile when, in 2010, a Rockford-area diner contacted ABC and nominated the Cajun Connection for a national

competition titled “People’s Plate List.” Cajun Connection has been featured on WTTW’s “Check Please!” and on other Chicago news programs. The McFarlains said they are working to get fro -

zen quarts and desserts on hand. Customers interested in getting a pie or bread pudding whole pans are asked to call two days in advance. Cajun Connection can be reached at 815-667-9855.

Lighted Way Developmental Center cuts ribbon on newly renovated facility

School for special-needs children now in Schweickert Learning Center in La Salle

A year and a half after embarking on its biggest project to date, Lighted Way Children’s Developmental Center officially cut the ribbon on its new 33,000-square-foot building during a dedication ceremony on Saturday.

The new Lighted Way school is now in the Schweickert Learning Center, located in the old Heritage Manor building at 1445 Chartres St. in La Salle.

The newly renovated building is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, includes ample parking and will serve as a learning center for children with disabilities from around the Illinois Valley.

A large group of supporters, families, employees, city officials, educators, board members and more gathered Saturday to commemorate the work Lighted Way has done since its founding in 1957 and to celebrate the opportunities the new building opens for the organization.

“The second sentence in our mission states: Lighted Way strives to improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities,” Lighted Way Board President Fran Brolley said to open the ceremony. “Today we gather to celebrate a giant step forward in that quest.”

Brolley thanked everyone who played a role in creating the new learning center including board members Adriane Shore, Chris Vaske, Ellen Credi, Brandi Anderson-Maier, Leah Erickson and Scott Schweickert.

Others who received recognition

included Lighted Way Foundation board members, donor families, Tieman Builders, county board members, local organizations, employees, teachers and businesses.

Brolley introduced Executive Director of Lighted Way Jessica Kreiser and thanked her for the hours of work and dedication she put in to make the building a reality.

“When (Kreiser) took over this school, there were nine students enrolled,” Brolley said. “This building will one day serve up to 60 students. She has created a model for the state and nation. We have a superstar of an executive director and we do not take that for granted.”

Kreiser thanked everyone in attendance for their help and kind words and reiterated what the building means not only for the families and parents of the students, but what it means for the kids.

“We are so blessed to be together to dedicate this beautiful facility to the continued service provided to over 500 incredible students since the doors opened in 1957,” Kreiser said.

Kreiser has been involved in the entire process of getting, planning, renovating and advocating for the newly completed facility. A process that for Kreiser even included taping plans to the floor of the entire building so she could personally make sure everything would fit.

“On the 16th, when we welcome our first transport shuttles into that parking lot and we unload the first set of vehicles and those kids come bounding through the door, whether they roll in or walk through the doors, that will be that day that we cross the finish line,” Kreiser said.

The project’s general contractor, Dean Tieman, worked with Kreiser and the board to bring their dream for the building and the needs of the student’s to life.

“All the projects that we work on are rewarding to us – this one has extra special gratification,” Tieman. “This will be embedded in my heart forever and so I thank you all for the opportunity to work on it.”

Board member and representative of

the Schweickert Family, Scott Schweickert, also spoke about what being involved in the project and the organization has meant to himself and the rest of his family.

“We are now standing in a building that is a regional sanctuary for these children and I couldn’t be more proud of my role in this project,” Schweickert said.

In May, the Schweickert Charitable Trust donated $1 million to be split between Peru and Lighted Way. Peru’s portion will be used to build a playground at Baker Lake immediately north and adjacent to the building.

The playground, Magical Park, will be handicapped-accessible and feature inclusive equipment that will provide sensory-rich experiences for children with disabilities.

“I’ve always been a big believer in the entire region, and if we can get the entire region to benefit then all of the cities will benefit,” Peru Mayor Ken Kolowski said. “This project is off the charts. It’s such a great addition to our region, it’s unbelievable.”

Putnam County Library District displays large collection of masks

Masks will be on display through the end of August

The Putnam County Library’s Hennepin and Granville locations will display a large collection of mask from around the world until the end of August.

• DRIVE-IN

Continued from page 2

The legacy of Magnoni and the owner before him, Charles Dyas, can be seen in the old pictures and ticket stubs framed on the walls. The single-screen drive-in opened in June of 1954 and was operated by the Dyas family until 1994, when it was bought by Magnoni.

“Chas and Ron were adamant the popcorn be made fresh every night,” said Shelley Bottomley, who spoke as if both of the late operators were still in the room.

The drive-in has been dark since last fall as the Bottomleys dealt with numerous legal and logistical issues with suppliers and movie distributors.

“Chas was very important to Paul,” said Shelley, her voice cracking to hold back tears, “and Ron was the best man at our wedding.”

“Ron was more than a friend, probably more than a sibling” she added, “if he called at midnight with a problem with the projector, there is no doubt Paul would go.”

Paul takes great pride in the history of the place, with handwritten signs on an antique Montgomery Ward shortwave radio in the projection room that says “Do not touch,” affixed with cellophane tape to the handle.

The collection is from Local Resident John Shimkus who previously displayed Hennepin Steel Mill and Star Union Collections in the Hennepin and Peru libraries.

Any local collectors that are interested in displaying their collection can email Matt Miller at mmiller@putnamcountylibrary.org for information.

“Last week someone pulled the antenna up on it and it bent a little,” he said. “That radio was the first thing Ron bought with the money he made from his paper route.”

The new digital projector, complete with an FM radio transmitter for sending audio to the patrons, sits next to an old retired reeled machine. Adjacent to that a cardboard box rests on the floor filled with old window speakers marked with another note, simply stating “bad.”

Paul tinkers with the speakers and wires on a small workbench, trying to stay ahead of the inevitable wear and tear of time and accidents.

“You can see where this one fell and the rivets snapped off,” he said, holding up a speaker with a new window hook installed. “Sometimes they just fall and bang the pole.”

The new business owners appear to have overcome all the major hurdles that kept the place dark this year, including launching a new website, 34DriveIn.com.

“We have room for 300 cars in theory” Paul said, “but at around 200 it does get crowded.”

The Route 34 Drive-In will be open every Friday, Saturday, Sunday through the end of October. Gates open at 7 p.m. and the first movie begins at dusk. “Barbie” and “The Flash” are scheduled Aug. 4-6 and Aug. 11-13.

GOLF: ILLINOIS VALLEY MEN’S GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP

Dzierzynski wins IV Men’s Golf Championship

Caleb Dzierzynski knocked in a short putt, pumped his fist, tipped his head back and let out a breath.

With the putt on No. 18 at Senica’s Oak Ridge Golf Course on Sunday, Dzierzynski wrapped up his first Illinois Valley Men’s Golf Championship.

“It felt really good,” said Dzierzynski, who carded a two-round score of 138. “Until you do it, it’s just stressful, stressful, stressful and it finally goes in, and it’s just a sigh of relief that you’re finally done and you can just forever be recognized among the great players in the area.”

Dzierzynski beat Doug Pinter and Jerry Joiner by two strokes, while Baley Lehr (141) placed fourth, and Jon Prescott and Matt Morse tied for fifth at 142.

“I had a couple of mistakes, but at the end of the day I did enough to get it done, and it still hasn’t really set in yet, but it feels good,” Dzierzynski said.

After shooting a 66 at Edgewood Park Golf Club, his home course, on Saturday to enter the final round tied for the lead, Dzierzynski built a sixstroke advantage with eight holes to go, propelled by a three-hole stretch of birdie, eagle, birdie.

“I knew that the back nine was a little bit tougher so I kept telling myself, ‘More, more, more,’ ” said Dzierzynski, a 2018 Putnam County graduate. “I just wanted to pile on as much as I can because it would give me some leeway on the back nine. I didn’t, obviously, want to make double on 11. I kind of got a little unlucky there, but the big lead at the beginning definitely gave me some cushion and a little bit more confidence going to the back.”

Dzierzynski needed the cushion as Joiner rallied, pulling within a stroke after a birdie and an eagle on No. 13 and No. 14, while Dzierzynski had a double bogey on No. 11 and a bogey on No. 12.

However, Dzierzynski rebounded with pars on Nos. 13-14, a birdie on No. 15 and pars on No. 16 and No. 18.

“Coming down the stretch, you see some guys playing well and you’re struggling, you just kind of have to reset,” Dzierzynski said. “I made the putt on No. 13 for par and that got me back into the groove a little bit. After that I had a good tee shot

on 14 and I felt a little bit better about my game.”

Joiner said he’s been in the top 10 of the tournament before, but never has placed as high as he did this year.

“It’s big,” Joiner said. “It’s something I didn’t expect. It felt good. I played well.

“[The key to my success was] maintaining composure, just being smart, taking what the course gives you, nestle up some putts when you have to, don’t go for it all the time.”

Joiner’s birdie-eagle stretch came after he recorded a bogey on No. 12.

“I bogeyed the hole prior and said, ‘I have to get it back here,’ ” Joiner said. “I made that birdie then I got to the tee block and just hit a nice drive. Everybody was watching and I’m thinking, ‘Just don’t skull this. Knock that in for an eagle.’ It felt pretty good. I just tried to get close and I got lucky.”

While Joiner was new to the top three, Pinter was not as he was also runner-up in 2020.

“Solid field,” Pinter said. “[Saturday] I had the best opening round

I’ve had in a long time [67], a shot off the lead. Jerry got it going today. I just couldn’t find it. I didn’t have the pace today. But hats off to Caleb. I mean, that guy didn’t miss center of the club face much today. It was fun to watch him.”

Pinter recorded six birdies in the first round and had three more Sunday.

“I was on with my irons,” Pinter said about his first round. “I had like four kick ins from less than a foot.

My putter was working when I needed it too. My driver. I had it all going [Saturday]. Then today, I just struggled. My swing got a little long on the front nine then I started shortening it up, hitting it a little bit more solid on the back nine. But my putter, I didn’t make them when I had to. I hit a lot of edges.”
