EYES ON ENTERPRISE Stephanie Jaquins You may not know Lacey Haltenhof, but if you’ve shopped downtowns in the Illinois Valley this holiday season, you’ve seen her work. Since mid-November, she has painted 22 storefront windows in a Christmas motif. She painted the first window for free, and interest grew from there. She has painted downtown windows in La Salle, Peru, Ottawa, Streator, Earlville and Morris. “I’m incredibly fortunate to be part of a community where small businesses truly support other small businesses, and many local business owners have been willing to take a chance on me and cheer me on,” said Haltenhof, of Ottawa. “The encouragement, word-of-mouth and genuine support I’ve received has meant everything to me.” She started painting windows as a means to get out of the house and into the community. “I love being out and about, and seeing the smile my art puts on people’s faces,” she said. Growing up, Haltenhof’s response to what she wanted to be when she grew up was always the same: an artist. “I originally started painting as a way to express myself creatively again. When I was younger, all I did was paint, and I was looking to reconnect with that passion, but I also wanted to share it,” Haltenhof said. She also offers kids coloring sheets to give kids the opportunity to feel a boost of serotonin after creating something – like she felt then and still does now. Haltenhof started her business, The Laced Brush, in July, painting custom banners for various occasions, gift bags and table runners. For more information, find The Laced Brush on social media.
Princeton gamer’s lounge to close
The Gamers Guild Lounge in Princeton soon will close permanently. “As much as we love the lounge and the amazing community that has come from it, we can no longer sustain this ourselves,” according to a post on the business’ social media. “We hope you understand that we did not make this decision lightly and worked very hard to try to figure things out.”

Lacey Haltenhof painted 22 business windows this holiday season, including this one at Modern Creek Boutique in downtown La Salle. Event nights for December will continue as scheduled. In January, the only events will be regular Saturday Magic Nights and a Ladies Magic Night on a pending Sunday. Open since April, the Gamers Guild Lounge, 104 N. Main St., offers tabletop gaming, video gaming and virtual reality games.

Downtown Ottawa store to close this week
After more than seven years, Jean Arthur Salon in Peru plans to close its doors. “During those years, our staff has seen many life changes, such as retirements, new homes, marriages, the birth of children and grandchildren, and the loss of loved ones,” according to a statement on the salon’s social media. “With numerous factors, the decision has been made that Jean Arthur Salon will not continue into 2026.” A potential buyer was noted, but there has been no update. Clients with appointments in 2026 will be contacted with more information. Gift vouchers can be redeemed until Wednesday, Dec. 31.

By TOM COLLINS tcollins@shawmedia.com Starved Rock State Park hasn’t broken a monthly attendance record in more than three years. The park will finish this year with “only” 2.2 million visitors – nowhere close to the attendance record – when the final tally is in. And that’s just fine with Pam Grivetti. Grivetti is the outgoing president of Starved Rock Foundation and she’s pleased Starved Rock is no longer busting attendance marks. There was an eight-year span when the park was averaging 2.5 million yearly visitors, peaking at 2.8 million in 2017, and the foot traffic damaged the trails. “That would be good if this (the projected 2.2 million) was the new normal because SR does get too many visitors,” she said. “The folks who have been there have literally trampled down our trails.” Some relief is on the way. Beginning in spring, and extending in 2027, Starved Rock will undergo an $18 million project to restore and/or improve access to Pontiac, Tonti and French canyons. That will disperse some of the crowds and slow the wear-and-tear on other sections of the park. Until then, Grivetti is hoping for more manageable crowds – and for Matthiessen State Park to continue siphoning off visitors to ease the strain on Starved Rock. Here’s a snapshot of the trends observed in 2025.
A down year for Starved Rock?
Starved Rock was projected to finish the year with 2,212,970 visitors, the lowest total in 12 years. Consider, however, that recent yearly totals were record-breaking. Weather had a big impact on the slower-than-normal attendance. A cold winter and stifling summer held the park to
thanks to the sunflower bloom and to the growing number of visitors who’ve “discovered” Matthiessen after the parking lots are full at Starved Rock. “The Dells area at Matthiessen feature some of the most diverse hiking trails in the Midwest, and people are taking notice,” said Matthew Klein, president-elect of the Starved Rock Foundation. “While Starved Rock is nationally known, Matthiessen is a smaller park that still feels undiscovered. Park visitors love exploring the sunflower field and canyons, then sharing their experiences with others.” As recently as 2013, visitors flocked to Scott Anderson Starved Rock over Matthiessen by a Starved Rock was crowded in 2025, but not as crowded as in past years. The park was on pace nearly 10-to-1 ratio. No more. Matthiessen visits surged over the next three to welcome 2.2 million annual visitors, the lowest total in 12 years.

Mendota man accused of throwing cocaine out of car along interstate SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com A Mendota man is being held in the La Salle County Jail after police said he tossed about 1 kilogram of cocaine out his car window as he sped away from police. The Tri-County Drug Enforcement Narcotics Team said in a news release that they found a package they think 50-yearold Ruemy Duarte Castaneda ejected after a midday pur- Ruemy Duarte suit Tuesday on Castaneda Interstate 39 before also finding more cocaine after executing a search warrant at his residence. TRI-DENT said Duarte Castaneda was taken into custody after a traffic stop at 12:10 p.m. on I-39 south of Tonica. TRIDENT agents assisted by the La Salle and Putnam county K-9 units were at the scene when Duarte Castenada fled the scene in his vehicle at a high rate of speed, police said in the release.
The pursuit continued until the suspect vehicle struck a semitrailer, causing minor damage to the front passenger side of his vehicle and ultimately disabling it. Police said in the release that Duarte Castenada then fled on foot into a wooded area near the Route 71 exit. Drug agents and assisting agencies established a perimeter, and Duarte Castenada was found and taken into custody without further incident. After Duarte Castenada’s arrest, a search warrant was executed at his residence in Mendota. A search of the residence resulted in the recovery of about 144 grams of drugs police believe to be cocaine. Duarte Castenada was taken to the La Salle County Jail and subsequently charged with two counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver, both Class X felonies. The charges are preliminary, but drug agents project sentencing ranges of anywhere from 15 years to 60 years for the ejected 2.2 pounds and nine years to 40 years for the 5 ounces seized in Mendota.

Continued from page 3 “It was a humid summer,” Grivetti said. “You didn’t have to do much to work up a sweat.”
Summer was safer
Summer attracts big crowds, which can make life busy for Conservation police and first responders. But Conservation Sgt. Phil Wire said 2025 was, overall, a pretty safe year. He could not immediately recall a significant injury to a visitor – his team gets plenty of twisted ankles, however – and the crowds
were largely well-behaved. “It was a lower-volume year in terms of tickets and warnings,” Wire said. Utica Fire Chief Ben Brown agreed the EMS call volume was comparatively low in 2025, which he credited to humid conditions that limited the duration and distance of summer hikes. One past headache was ticketing motorists who parked on Route 178 because the parking lots were overflowing. That wasn’t a problem this year. “We didn’t have to do traffic control at Starved Rock this summer at all,” Wire said. “The overflow parking lot has worked very well.”
