"Tributes" must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted
against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial>So, I hope all of you had a nice Easter
holiday.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial>We actually closed on Easter Sunday for the
first time since 1999, and that was weird!<BR>(It was also wonderful to spend
time with my grandchildren, and my family).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial>----------------<BR><FONT color=#800080>The
downtown beautification is in full-swing!<BR>That means construction is
everywhere in the south sector; sidewalks torn up, streets closed, boardwalks
and general chaos...<BR>It will be TREMENDOUS when it is finally done, and <U>I
sure hope</U> all of you will continue to patronize all those merchants down
there while this hassle is happening!<BR>OUR block was done last November, and I
know you all agree it looks great!</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080 face=Arial>(I know you also agree it took WAAAY TOO
LONG for that contractor to get it done too!)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial><FONT color=#800080>Remember the old adage:
You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs!<BR>Hang in there, it won't
be much longer.<BR></FONT>----------------<BR><FONT color=#000080>Let's talk
about the parking garage across from the Avon...</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial>The city council in October of 2010
gave ADM permission to use this garage <EM>exclusively</EM> from MONDAY
THRU FRIDAY from 6 AM to 5 PM.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG><EM><FONT color=#000080>REMEMBER THAT, FOLKS:
</FONT><FONT color=#000080><U><FONT color=#ff0000>MONDAY THRU FRIDAY, 6 AM to 5
PM!!<BR></FONT></U>You need to remember that, because apparently the
ADM sign-painter and the ADM person who gave him the instructions did
NOT!</FONT></EM></STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT color=#000080
face=Arial></FONT></EM></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial>FIRST, we noticed the hours said
<FONT color=#ff0000>"6 AM to 6 PM"</FONT> on the sign!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT color=#000080 size=3 face=Arial>After I contacted the
Decatur City Manager, the hours were changed to the correct "6 AM to 5
PM" (that is what the 2010 city council so generously granted
them).</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT color=#000080
face=Arial></FONT></EM></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial>NOW, I see the sign does NOT
state "MONDAY thru FRIDAY"!!!!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial><EM>So, the implication to the public is
that ADM has the garage for SEVEN DAYS A WEEK!!</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=6 face=Arial><FONT
color=#000080><STRONG><U>WRONG</U>!!<BR></STRONG><FONT size=4>Now, understand, I
am a big supporter of ADM, and I appreciate all they have done for Decatur, but
they do NOT make willy-nilly decisions with city-owned
property!</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial><EM>-I think there is something called "due
process"!!<BR></EM>ADM needs to get these signs corrected, or I can only suggest
the current Decatur city council re-open and take up this whole issue
again.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial>I happen to know the public is not too happy
about giving a tax-payer paid city property to a private industry anyway, and
maybe a re-examination with <U>more transparency</U> is needed
here?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial>The entire Decatur city council
receives this newsletter, and a few of them even READ it!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial>I wonder if
they are aware about all this brouhaha with ADM and parking
garage B?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial><FONT color=#000080>Maybe they are
NOW.<BR></FONT>------------------------</FONT></DIV>
