Preble County woman hit

That was the case with Groomingdale's Judy Springer, who also resides in the 100 block of Clayton Street.Springer said she had been elected to speak on behalf of "other" shop owners on the block who took issue with the type of business entering the area."I wasn't raised here," said Springer, "but I've been here now for 24 years and we all remember what Clayton Street used to be like years ago, with bars all along the road, and a reputation. We've tried to change that reputation to a more family friendly business landscape and feel this just won't fit in."Problems she indicated were of concern included fighting outside of the establishment, loitering, littering, vandalism and most especially parking.

"We now have a two-hour parking limit there during the day," stated Springer, "but not at night and we feel that is unfair."The issue of tavern-goers leaving vehicles outside of the bar was also noted in three letters of concern written by shop owners Buffie DeChant of The Bling and Me, Marta Tadolini of You Name It Promotions and Andrea Spresser of All About U, three shops in the same 100 block of Clayton Street."This is my bar," said Marquez, "and not my father's," when addressed with several rumors of the revocation of liquor license of her father, Ruben Escorza, for his former El Rancho Alegre on Kiowa Avenue in downtown Fort Morgan.Illinois State Police say Rodriguez was ticketed on Friday for driving under the influence, epoxy coated rebar and improper lane usage.According to an article published in The Fort Morgan Times in 2011, fighting outside the restaurant had become a serious problem on Fridays and Saturdays, causing the Fort Morgan City Council to deny approval of his liquor license to serve alcohol at the location.Those charges were eventually dropped.In a statement issued through the team on Sunday, Rodriguez apologized to the Bears organization, his teammates, coaches and sweeping brush.

"I felt Brush would welcome more people to the downtown area and I believe it is good to start new things," remarked Marquez. "I have a family of my own, so it will be a family-oriented business. As for the parking,And after the water drained out, all three shrank back to their original size as promised. So all three lived up to their claims. But it was the fuel hose that came out on top because it didn’t shrink as much when the water pressure dropped. we hope to start a taxi-ride service, but until that time we will enforce as we can and we can also post signage to let patrons know they will be towed should they leave their cars on the block overnight. As far as the noise issue, the property was designated a tavern prior to our taking over, so the ordinance should still stand. As far as vandalism, fighting and keeping the streets of Brush clean, we will enforce and clean as we can. We will have security who will check and clean the grounds.The specialized vending machine hands out samples, too, but you have to give it a "planetary gearbox" on Facebook before it coughs up the goods. We will bring out ashtrays to discourage use of the street and planters.It was the second encounter with police this year for road sweeper, who was charged in March with disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer in Miami."
