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 Fri-day in Whiteside County Court to seek an injunc-tion to prohibit Tourism from spending any of the money in its reserves, and to compel its return to the city.

As of Wednesday, Tour-ism 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 termi-nated 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 cof-fers, Mayor Bill Wescott said.

T o u r i s m r e c e i v e d $661,000 in public funds in 2008, when Rock Falls entered into an agree-ment for tourism services. Tourism also received all income from the local

hotel/motel tax.Now that the agree-

ment 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.”

E x a c t l y h o w m u c h 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 per-cent to cover admin-istrative costs, which left Tourism with about $152,141.

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

Council.R e c e n t l y , t h e C i t y

Council asked for Tour-ism’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 dur-ing that period.

Tourism officials have declined to provide the information.

The city does not sus-pect financial wrongdo-ing 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 Tour-

ism Board member, said in late September the board believed the city must request the finan-cial records in writing.

“We weren’t trying to withhold anything,” she said during a meet-ing with city officials. “Our interpretation of the ordinance was that the records were to be requested in writing.”

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

STERLING – The Sauk Valley Area Chamber of Commerce didn’t have to look far for a new execu-tive 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 con-sultant for the Sauk Valley Chamber.

Before being hired by the chamber in Septem-ber, Noble was a coun-selor 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 well-ness issues for over 20 years. I believe strongly in the people, businesses and organizations of the Sauk Valley and will work to maintain the excel-lence service provided by the SVACC.”

Noble choice made SAUK VALLEY CHAMBER | NEW DIRECTOR

Kris Noble

‘‘One of the things I was ada-mant about was making sure we were doing what we could for the whole region. We went

STERLING – People who work in pawn shops get to see some strange and sometimes down-right 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 Robin-son 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 interest-ing things Rangel has ever got-ten 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 vet-erans group or another organi-zation that would really appreci-ate 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.

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 Wil-liams, 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 fab-rics 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 win-dows 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 Christ-mas fantasy. ‘Christmas at Tiffany’s’, ‘Win-ter White’ and the ‘Forest at Downton Abbey’ have received many positive comments.”

SAUK VALLEY YWCA | DIRECTOR RETIRING

BY CHRISTI WARREN

STERLING – After serv-ing 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-serv-ing executive director in the YW’s 90-year history.

After going through the Sterling school sys-tem, 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 par-ticipated 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 then-executive director handed her the YWCA’s mission statement.

“I looked at it, and I saw the things about empow-ering women and elimi-nating 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 work-ing as program director for 3 years. She helped to launch the YWCA’s domestic violence pro-grams and its women’s shelter.

T i m e p a s s e d , a n d Fitzgerald worked other jobs unti l , 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 inde-pendence, 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 e l i m i n a t i n g r a c i s m , empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

“One of the very best things, of course, is work-ing with all the people,” she said. “It’s been won-derful 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 sug-gestions, and is always on my team,” she said.

So, what’s next?Fitzgerald expects to

continue in a volunteer capacity with the YWCA, as well as with other orga-nizations with which she’s involved.

And recently, she and

Becknell have had their 11-year-old granddaugh-ter come to live with them, which, Fitzgerald said with a laugh, keeps them pretty active.

Needs met; success seen

BY ANGEL SIERRA

DIXON – Just below a small hill in southwest Dixon sits a storefront-style sign at the top of Nich-ols Greenhouse, where a favorite local flower source has stood for more than 40 years. Soon, though, cus-tomers 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 fin-ishing touches on a 41-year career in the flower busi-ness, a stint that has includ-ed being the official provid-er of Dixon’s signature pink petunias.

H e h a s w e a t h e r e d changes within the indus-try, but one thing has remained the same: the clients.

“We appreciate our faith-ful and loyal customers,” Bonnie said as she sat at a table in the front section of the greenhouse, red poin-settias 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 architec-tural 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. Ken-nedy Center for the Per-forming Arts, including ivy that at one point stretched across its roof, he said.

He bought the green-house at 1228 W. Fourth St. in 1973.

A local giftShortly after the assas-

s i n a t i o n a t t e m p t o n President Ronald Rea-gan in 1981, Terry and some friends took white cascade petunias to the White House – by car – and were met by the president’s press secre-tary, who had agreed to take them, he said.

The flowers were plant-ed 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 secu-rity 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 usu-ally 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 green-house and had them sent to the White House.

Moving onNichols 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 t h a t t h e g r e e n h o u s e won’t be open much lon-ger. Although almost all are sad to see it close, customers are happy for the couple.

Sell ing the business

has been an uphill bat-tle 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 every-thing, including the eight greenhouses in the back, he said.

If the greenhouse doesn’t sell, he’ll keep the busi-ness 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 look-ing forward to retirement and plan to travel to Arizo-na, where they have fam-ily, and to the East Coast, which Terry hasn’t seen in a long time.

Digging into the fam-ily tree through genealogy will be his next task.

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

BY MATT MENCARINI

DIXON – Between November 2008 and January 2012, then-City 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 mak-ing payments, accord-ing to the motion, and the outstanding balance stands now at $181,690.

On Wednesday, inter-est 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 gov-ernment filed Wednes-day, less than a week after Crundwell’s attor-ney, 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 premi-um refunds for canceled policies from two com-panies that specialize in horse insurance; money

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 fed-eral prison in Waseca, Minnesota. She’ll be 77 when released.

Ortgiesen didn’t imme-diately return a request for comment Thursday. He works for Fehr Gra-ham, an engineering company with offices in Freeport, Rochelle, Rockford and Spring-field, 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 work-ing at City Hall on Jan. 1, 2005.

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

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

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

Investigators also found a personal loan agree-ment between Crundwell and Fire Chief Tim Ship-man and his wife, Diane. The Shipmans paid the remainder of their loan with interest in July.

Because the govern-ment 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 govern-ment said.

On June 11, 2013, Ort-giesen met with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, accord-ing to Wednesday’s filing.

“At that time, he stipu-lated to the fact that he had borrowed money from Rita Crundwell and that a substantial portion of it remains unpaid,” according to the motion.

F o u r t e e n months later, Angela Ortgie-sen met with the U.S. Attor-ney’s office for the same pur-pose and told them she also had borrowed money from Crundwell and a substantial amount of it was unpaid.

“Some of the loans were documented with a promissory note and all the loans were evidenced by a canceled check for Crundwell to one or both of the Ortgiesens,” according to the motion. “The notes and instru-ments evidencing the loans were made exhib-its and verified by the respondent. Shawn fur-ther stated that the loans are all in default.”

The Ortgiesens made 17 payments to Crundwell between December 2008 and March 2012, totalling $23,458. Early on, pay-ments were made almost every month, according to an exhibit attached to the motion.

One payment was made in 2008, 10 payments in 2009, two in 2010, one in 2011 and three in 2012.

A c c o r d i n g t o t h e m o t i o n , C r u n d w e l l denied a request for another loan, for $10,865, on Dec. 7, 2011.

Shortly after news of the loans came out, Burke said, he talked with Ort-giesen about the amount. Ortgiesen didn’t tell Burke the amount, the mayor said Thursday, but said he was unable to pay

it off.“I, in effect, told

him in that con-versation he was going be finished [at the city],” Burke said, adding that the look on Ortgie-sen’s face was “sor-rowful.”

Crundwell was sentenced Feb. 14, 2013, at which

point Judge Phillip Rein-hard served her with a restitution order for nearly $54 million. The city has received about $9.3 million from the sale of her property and assets.

The U.S. Marshals Ser-vice continues to search for more assets that can be seized and liquidated for restitution, including her pension funds.

In September 2013, the city settled a lawsuit with its former auditors and a bank for $40 million, a quarter of which went to legal fees. The auditors had reviewed the city’s finances each year dur-ing Crundwell’s employ-ment, and the bank had set up the account into which she had funneled city funds.

Between the sale of Crundwell’s assets and the settlement, the city has received about $39.3 million.

A c c o r d i n g t o t h e motions filed Wednes-day, Crundwell has an outstanding res-t i tution balance of $44,452,107.96.

DIXON | CRUNDWELL AFTERMATH

Shawn Ortgiesen

The other motionsFive motions were filed Wednesday. In addition

to the motion relating to loans Rita Crundwell had made to the Ortgiesens, the motions sought the fol-lowing funds:

• $18,997.80 for the nonexempt interest in insur-ance policy refunds held by Kaplow Insurance Agency for canceled policies on horses. A letter from the insurance company to the government shows it had insured about 50 of Crundwell’s horses.

• $11,820 for the nonexempt interest in insurance policy refunds held by Markel Insurance Co. for can-celed policies on 11 horses.

• $6,066.38 for earnings from the Breeder’s Trust Program of the American Paint Horse Association. The total includes $3,215.40 for the 2012 program year and $2,850.98 for 2013.

The program pays cash dividends for points earned by nominated horses at APHA-approved events, according to the association’s website. The program was started to “help offset the cost of showing and to add value to American Paint Horses.”

ROCK FALLS – The Whiteside County Health Department is being awarded $73,912 in fed-eral Affordable Care Act funding – one of just 37 federally funded health centers in the state to share about $1.3 million.

OREGON

BY VINDE WELLS

OREGON – The remains of an Oregon restaurant finally have been demolished.

Whiskey’s River Smoke-

house, 123 N. Second St., was torn down and filled in Dec. 2, 9 months after a March 16 fire destroyed it.

“I think everyone is pret-ty happy with it,” Oregon

Police Chief Darin DeHaan said Tuesday.

Because the dirt used to fill in what was the build-ing’s basement will likely settle over the winter, the

city has asked owner Kevin Wedel to level it again and seed it in the spring, DeHaan said, adding that he does not know what Wedel’s plans are for the property.

For several months, DeHaan and other city

officials fielded complaints from citizens who asked why the building had not been torn down.

The main cause of the delay was that insurance adjusters could not agree on the amount Wedel should receive for his claim.

The exact cause of the fire, which started in the base-ment of the defunct res-taurant, never was deter-mined, but it was ruled accidental by investigators from the Office of the State Fire Marshal.
