December 16, 2014 ROCK FALLS

City sues Tourism Board Seeks all money in its reserves

BY CHRISTI WARREN

ROCK FALLS – The city is asking a judge to force the Rock Falls Tourism Board to hand over all the money in its coffers to the city.

A petition was filed Friday in Whiteside County Court to seek an injunction to prohibit Tourism from spending any of the money in its reserves, and to compel its return to the city.

As of Wednesday, Tourism officials had not filed a response. A hearing has yet to be set. A call for comment to the Tourism Board were not returned.

Since the city terminated its agreement with Tourism in mid-August, its attorneys have been working to retrieve a substantial amount of money – or what’s left of it – from Tourism’s coffers, Mayor Bill Wescott said.

Tourism received $661,000 in public funds in 2008, when Rock Falls entered into an agreement for tourism services.

Tourism also received all income from the local

hotel/motel tax.

Now that the agreement is over, the city wants to make sure the public’s money is back where it belongs – with the city, Wescott said.

“We asked them to return any outstanding funds that they had in reserve, or had in their accounts, to us, because they are public funds,” Wescott said. “Because [Tourism] is no longer under an agreement with us, those funds should be returned. They have refused.”

Exactly how much money that might be, the city does not know.

The lawsuit is the latest

salvo in an increasingly heated battle.

Before May 1, 2008, the city handled tourism duties and controlled the reserves. When the agreement was signed, Tourism received that money, plus the hotel tax, which, in 2012-13, brought in $160,148.41.

The city received 5 percent to cover administrative costs, which left Tourism with about $152,141.

An ordinance that governs the hotel tax calls for the city to inspect Tourism’s financial records at least once a year and file a written report no later than April 1 with the City

SAUK VALLEY CHAMBER | NEW DIRECTOR

Noble choice made

BY MATT MENCARINI

STERLING – The Sauk Valley Area Chamber of Commerce didn’t have to look far for a new executive director.

Kris Noble, who was hired in September to be a project manager at the chamber, will take over the position in January.

She will succeed Kim Ewoldsen, who will go

to work for the Morrison Area Development Corp., but will continue as a consultant for the Sauk Valley Chamber.

Before being hired by the chamber in September, Noble was a counselor for Lutheran Social Services of Illinois.

Noble said having Ewoldsen around as a consultant would help with a smooth transition.

“I am excited for this great opportunity and challenge,” Noble said in a statement. “I have been involved in community development and wellness issues for over 20 years. I believe strongly in the people, businesses and organizations of the Sauk Valley and will work to maintain the excellence service provided by the SVACC.”

Council.

Recently, the City Council asked for Tourism’s financial records from 2008 through 2012, and a copy of a 2013 audit. The audit, paid for by the city, was the first that had been done during that period.

Tourism officials have declined to provide the information.

The city does not suspect financial wrongdoing on Tourism’s part, Wescott has said, but the city is responsible for keeping track of the money it levies, which includes the hotel tax funds.

Tourism’s failure to provide records has led

‘‘

to the suit.

Sally Scanlan, a Tourism Board member, said in late September the board believed the city must request the financial records in writing.

“We weren’t trying to withhold anything,” she said during a meeting with city officials.

“Our interpretation of the ordinance was that the records were to be requested in writing.”

Board members also said they were concerned that, with a new hotel planned as the cornerstone to the riverfront RB&W District, the hotel tax might not be used properly.

One of the things I was adamant about was making sure we were doing what we could for the whole region. We went from talking about working together to working together .

DIXON

So, a leg walks into a shop ...

Store owner buys it, wants to donate it to good cause

Bridge of Art brings Christmas to sites STAFF REPORT

DIXON – A forest of sparkly Christmas trees and a blizzard of delicate paper snowflakes await shoppers in downtown Dixon.

Bridge of Art has installed more than 40 Christmas trees in windows at Fusion Salon, Books on First, Crystal Cork, Sherwin Williams, C&N Supply, Lee County Historical Society, Örum, Gingko Tree, and Dixon Main Street, among others.

“Our trees are all conical and hand made by volunteers, using tomato cages and a few other secret ingredients,” Bridge of Art founders Penny Schopp and Catherine Rogers said in a news release. “They are ... in line with our tradition of making things locally and repurposing.”

The trees are decorated with upholstery fabrics and trims, beads and glitter, colored paper and even newsprint.

The Phidian Art Club helped with the project.

In addition, thanks to “Projects Snowflake,” a collaboration with Dixon public schools and St. Mary’s and St. Anne’s Catholic schools, more than 1,000 student-made paper snowflakes are gracing store windows, and also windows at Dixon Public Library and Dixon Main Street, and Touch of Thai.

“In the tradition of Marshall Field’s, our windows are designed for tourism, to inspire awe, are rich in detail and represent hundreds of hours of work by many creative community members,” the release said.

“We are hoping that people visit downtown Dixon and see in person our vision of Christmas fantasy. ‘Christmas at Tiffany’s’, ‘Winter White’ and the ‘Forest at Downton Abbey’ have received many positive comments.”

STERLING – People who work in pawn shops get to see some strange and sometimes downright bizarre stuff.

Sauk Valley Pawn and Loan owner Ricardo Rangel has seen his fair share, he says while standing behind the counter Wednesday afternoon.

He goes into a back room and comes back with a Jackie Robinson rookie card that someone in Rock Falls wants to sell. (He asks for $500, but eventually comes down a little on the price.)

Rangel talks about an old mess kit someone brought in once, marked with Nazi swastikas. (He couldn’t remember the price.)

But among the most interesting things Rangel has ever gotten walked into his shop just last week – a titanium leg ($300).

The man who brought it in said it belonged to his brother, who recently died.

So, Rangel bought the leg, and now wants to do something good with it – donate it to a veterans group or another organization that would really appreciate it.

Know a place like that? Drop by the shop at 220 E. Third St. in Sterling and let Rangel know, or give him a call at 815-626-7296.

DIXON | NICHOLS GREENHOUSE CLOSING

On to greener pastures

BY ANGEL SIERRA

DIXON – Just below a small hill in southwest Dixon sits a storefront-style sign at the top of Nichols Greenhouse, where a favorite local flower source has stood for more than 40 years. Soon, though, customers will have to find someplace else: Owners Terry and Bonnie are on the verge of retirement.

At the end of this month, Terry, 72, will put the finishing touches on a 41-year career in the flower business, a stint that has included being the official provider of Dixon’s signature pink petunias.

He has weathered changes within the industry, but one thing has remained the same: the clients.

“We appreciate our faithful and loyal customers,” Bonnie said as she sat at a table in the front section of the greenhouse, red poinsettias glowing in rows less than 20 feet behind her.

“They’ve helped to make us successful because they keep coming back.

Those are the people that we’ll really, really miss.”

Even though they might

see some customers only in the spring, they’re like family, she said.

After studying architectural drafting at a school in Rockford, Terry did graphic arts in the Navy for 4 years. He was 21 when he joined. After he separated from the military, he stayed in the Washington, D.C., area for a few years and worked in landscaping.

Through that work, he planted trees and laid all the sod at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, including ivy that at one point stretched across its roof, he said.

He bought the greenhouse at 1228 W. Fourth St. in 1973.

A local gift Shortly after the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan in 1981, Terry and some friends took white cascade petunias to the White House – by car – and were met by the president’s press secretary, who had agreed to take them, he said.

The flowers were planted along a pool on the White House grounds,

and in the solarium, under the supervision of the head gardener.

“We wanted to take them out [from Dixon] and present them to him,” Terry said, although he and his friends didn’t get a chance to meet the president that time.

“He couldn’t come out. … The day that we got there was a Tuesday, and that was the first day that he came back to work after being shot.”

Terry and his crew also took over a Dixon Garden Club jacket with “Dutch” on it, and a big cowboy hat.

The next year, Terry and company did it again, but this time drove right up to the White House front doors and unloaded a set of petunias as security with dogs came to inspect each flower.

“They sniffed every one of them,” Terry said with a chuckle.

After the dogs got done, the group was escorted to another area on the grounds in the back, where ambassadors usually are met.

“We did get a glance of Reagan this time,” he

said. The president didn’t come over to talk to them, but they saw him walking down a corridor outside the White House.

The third and fourth years they didn’t make the drive, and instead ordered petunias from a Washington-area greenhouse and had them sent to the White House.

Moving on Nichols Greenhouse specializes in retail and wholesale arrangements, including grave blankets, a niche market in the Sauk Valley, Terry said. The blanket-style greens are woven together and big enough to cover the plot.

Out-of-state customers with standing orders are getting letters to let them know the service won’t be available next year.

“We’re trying to get the word out,” Bonnie said.

Customers are finding out by word-of-mouth that the greenhouse won’t be open much longer. Although almost all are sad to see it close, customers are happy for the couple.

Selling the business

TERRY NICHOL has been an uphill battle because the few that show interest might not know anything about it, how it functions or how the plants grow, he said.

“To them it has to be pretty scary … not doing this before,” Terry said.

“We have one person that wants to buy it so bad, and she’s got the money, but she doesn’t have the help to do it.”

Nichols Greenhouse has been up for sale for 2 years, and Terry is down to $150,000 for everything, including the eight greenhouses in the back, he said.

If the greenhouse doesn’t sell, he’ll keep the business and the land, and maybe put them on the

market later, he said.

The greenhouse also provides petunias for the city; those orders will still make it through for next year. But the number is down from the 20,000 to 30,000 petunias, at a cost of $14,000, the city used to buy, he said.

He and Bonnie are looking forward to retirement and plan to travel to Arizona, where they have family, and to the East Coast, which Terry hasn’t seen in a long time.

Digging into the family tree through genealogy will be his next task.

“You just have to move on,” Terry said.

SAUK VALLEY YWCA | DIRECTOR RETIRING

Needs met; success seen

BY CHRISTI WARREN

STERLING – After serving the community for more than 29 years as executive director of the YWCA of the Sauk Valley, Carol Fitzgerald will retire in July.

Fitzgerald, 61, began her job as executive director in September 1985. She is the 15th and longest-serving executive director in the YW’s 90-year history.

After going through the Sterling school system, she taught French in Prophetstown. When the French program was discontinued, she had to look for a new job. A friend of her mother’s told her about an opening for a program director at the YWCA. Although she had participated in some of the YW’s programs as a kid, Fitzgerald was less than excited.

“I didn’t really get what

it was all about,” she said.

That is, until she walked into the room for the interview and the thenexecutive director handed her the YWCA’s mission statement.

“I looked at it, and I saw the things about empowering women and eliminating racism, and I was so excited,” she said, laughing. “I said, ‘Oh, this sounds good! Much better than expected!”

She admits now that probably wasn’t the smartest thing to say in a job interview, but she got hired and ended up working as program director for 3 years. She helped to launch the YWCA’s domestic violence programs and its women’s shelter.

Time passed, and Fitzgerald worked other jobs until, in 1985, the executive director position opened. She applied, but at first she didn’t get the job. When

the new director had to bow out after only 2 months, the YWCA called asked whether she was still interested.

And 29 years later, here she is.

“My favorite memories are certainly some of the program successes, every time you meet a new need and see a success,” she said. “I can think of a time when we did diversity training at a company, and some staff came back and said that things had really changed, that there was more receptiveness.”

She also recalled many domestic violence clients who “were too beaten down to look up, and then they would build independence, and go get an apartment and a job and a car, and come in and tell us how proud they were of themselves.”

Fitzgerald also helped to create the YWCA’s most recent mission statement.

She was one of only nine

executive directors from around the country who got to participate.

The mission says: The YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

“One of the very best things, of course, is working with all the people,” she said. “It’s been wonderful to have so many outstanding staff and board members, and community members, United Way volunteers, and people from other agencies.”

She credits her husband, Doug Becknell, for being her rock through the years.

“He is someone who has never complained about my strange work schedule, who has always been there to prop me up, who has made a lot of helpful suggestions, and is always on my team,” she said.

DIXON | CRUNDWELL AFTERMATH

Ortgiesens lent $182,862 Feds pursuing balance of $181,690 from the Breeder’s Trust Program at the American Paint Horse Association; and nonexempt interest in an account at The First National Bank in Amboy.

The five motions will be heard by Judge Philip Reinhard at 9:30 a.m.

Dec. 19.

Crundwell was arrested in April 2012 and later convicted of wire fraud for the theft of nearly $54 million in city money over 2 decades. She is serving a sentence of 19 years, 7 months at a federal prison in Waseca, Minnesota. She’ll be 77 when released.

Ortgiesen didn’t immediately return a request for comment Thursday.

He works for Fehr Graham, an engineering company with offices in Freeport, Rochelle, Rockford and Springfield, among other sites.

Mayor Jim Burke called the amount of the loans, and the short time frame in which the money was borrowed, disturbing. “He had to know that he was compromising himself with this thing,�

Burke said. “He had to know it.�

Ortgiesen started working at City Hall on Jan. 1, 2005.

On April 16, 2013, he resigned after it was discovered he had charged $13,521.14 to a city

BY MATT MENCARINI

DIXON – Between November 2008 and January 2012, thenCity Comptroller Rita Crundwell made loans to then-City Engineer Shawn Ortgiesen and his wife, Angela, that totaled $182,862.

The interest rate was 4 percent, according to a turnover motion filed Wednesday in federal court, which showed the Ortgiesens have paid $23,458 toward the loans.

But they stopped making payments, according to the motion, and the outstanding balance stands now at $181,690.

On Wednesday, interest started to accrue at a rate of $18.17 a day as the government prepares to collect the debt.

The turnover motion was one of five the government filed Wednesday, less than a week after Crundwell’s attorney, Ruth Robinson, filed her response to a motion to seize funds from two of Crundwell’s pension funds.

The four other turnover motions represent a total of $38,434.13.

The other motions include insurance premium refunds for canceled policies from two companies that specialize in horse insurance; money

credit card for personal expenses between April 2007 and March 2013. He sent the city a check for $9,157.38, which included the remaining balance plus interest he had calculated at 5 percent.

A month later, Ortgiesen was given a notice to appear before the U.S. Attorney’s Office after documents seized from City Hall showed personal loan agreements between him and Crundwell.

Investigators also found a personal loan agreement between Crundwell and Fire Chief Tim Shipman and his wife, Diane.

The Shipmans paid the remainder of their loan with interest in July.

Because the government didn’t need to file a turnover motion to get the funds owed by the Shipmans, the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 prevented the release of the terms and loan amount, the government said.

On June 11, 2013, Ortgiesen met with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, according to Wednesday’s filing. “At that time, he stipulated to the fact that he had borrowed money from Rita Crundwell and that a substantial portion of it remains unpaid,� according to the motion.
