The old, saggy bridge on Arcade Street in Lexington is being repaired. For several years, truck drivers have had to make a choice: drive the long way through the town, or charge across the bridge hoping it would hold just one more time. There wasn't much left of the old bridge but splinters and sticks. The footings have just been poured and the columns will be poured this week. The project will be completed in a couple of months. The City of Lexington work ed with the Corps of Engineers and the State Highway De partment to obtain the grant monev with which the bridge -V "J - .A photo by Cathy Pack Around About " By Justine Weatherford Now we have had three weeks of spring, but it seems there is still a sort of confusion at weather headquarters. Some of us hoped that after March entered and exited like a lion that April would become sunny and warm - maybe it will if we can just be patient. Mt. St. Helens is vying with the Falkland Islands for top billing in current news interest. Most of us have had some fair education conceringin erupting volcanos by now, we also have checked out a few facts about El Salvador recently, but need to bone up on the Falkland which until the close of last week were a British crown colony in the South Atlantic Ocean 300 miles east of the Strait of Magellan. Except for some undeveloped British Antarctic Territory, the Falkland's form the southernmost part of the British Empire. There are about 3.000 inhabitants on the .two main islands and the dependencies of the colony (about 200 small islands) which the English explorer Captain John Davies first sighted in 1592 and where the British Captain John Strong landed in 1690 and named them for Vicount Falkland who was then the British Secretary of the Navy. Argentina has long claimed these islands which are commercially valuable because of the great population of sheep there and the export of wool. The British governor has ruled the colony with the help of an executive council and a legislative council until last week. It is interesting to know that Prince Andrew is now with the naval force which expects to reach the territory under dispute in about one week. My personal weekend just past was the most exciting since Christmas because ten members of my family were here: oldest son Ross Haberlach and his son Scott and daughter Anita; step-daughter Karla Weaver, husband Rick and their daughter Abiah; and my daughter Ann Chenhall, husband Ray and their son Thomas and daughter Pearl. The Haberlachs and Weavers came through snowy mountains from Port Orchard. The Chenhalls said the trip from Cheney wasn't bad. We all had lots of good visiting and damsite viewing. A high spot of the weekend was the luscious Saturday night dinner which my housemate Bouapeth Thongdy prepared. Along with Laotian style rice, lots of tastefully spiced chicken and pork, we all enjoyed a great assortment of hot vegetables in delicious sauces along with several plates of beautifully arranged fresh vegetables. Most of the dishes were Laotian, but one of the vegetable arrangements was Chinese - all were great eating I am certainly sold on grandmothering. My mature children-parents are such tremendous helpers when they come visiting. Their children are such delights to me. How fast they all grow. The oldest, blond Scott, is turning 14; Anita becomes 12 next week; Thomas will be five in July; Pearl is two and one-half and Abiah will become two in September. Having three cars drive off Sunday morning was saddening, but I know that having the group here for the three nights and parts of four days left me happy but tired. On Sunday afternoon I intended to get down on Main Street to view the ending of the big, exciting Rolling Hills Run, but I decided I needed a little davenport nap before I went. So in my suddenly very quiet home I took a too long nap and missed the super finish of the run ... darn it. However, on Sunday night when I went to lock up the laundromat I found that neat, handsome, young dam engineer from Lufkin, Texas, Scott Hutchins, was still busily shaping up his clothing, as was our helpful Heppner builder Boyd Martin. Scott had made the afternoon run and finished it in 45 minutes 56 seconds. He said it was a "well run" event, and he was pleased to know that the first runner completed the 6.2 miles in 32 minutes. Being a comparative stranger here, he wasn't able to give me names. After we all chatted awhile about the successful fun, Scott said that he was eager to try to get a town Softball team organized. He suggested to Boyd that he should participate, but I am not sure that Boyd was sold on this idea. I think that a Morrow County men's softball league including teams from other county towns and communities would be great fun. Scott Hutchins said he will try to check out a practicing and playing place. It is so good to have one of the "temporary, working residents" in our community wanting to enter into activities here. Scott has already taken in other community events such as a concert at the high school besides last Sunday's fun run.

But after twelve hours of traveling all we saw was concrete, overcast skies and heavy humidity. It wasn't until we arrived at the little house that my parents had asked us to share with them that I began to see a hint of the real Maui. "... like someone who is born rich, beautiful, smart and talented - and then gets lucky in life." That was the land that was promised to Larry and me. So for the next eight days during Larry's spring vacation, we set out to discover that promise. Just down the beach from our little manicured neighborhood called "Alealoa" stood the Kaanapali Beach Resort. There loomed the great names of Hyatt Regency, the Marriott, and of course the Sheraton. Several others have tagged along, but these three Brand hotels have merged together in style with a carefully laid out landscape and golf course. This is so not to crowd their beaches with too much "progress." Just a few miles down the shore, still on the west side of Maui, is the contrast of the Kaanapali resort :Lahaina. It's a relatively small settlement with all the conveniences. There's even a McDonalds and a Burger King) Fortunately, for some unlucky souls (like ourselves) there is a even a couple of camera shops who repair cameras, should they fall apart the day after arrival. Some people may turn up their noses at the outer image of Lahaina. But inside there is the strong personality of a nineteenth century fishing village turned popular. Up and down the boardwalk (and boardwalk it is!) are rows of tiny shops filled with coral jewelry, whale prints, lots and lots of art, multi-colored muu-muus, macadamia nuts, and plenty of beautiful tanned people. What makes it interesting are that these shops are all built into the original buildings of the mid-1800's. Some may not be much to look at but thay all are full of Lahaina's personality. One of Lahaina's early sources of income before the turn of the century was as a stop-off point for whaling ships from all over the world. It seems only fair that today the diminishing humpback whales can bee seen daily frolicking off the shore of Maui from January through April. It seems that even the whales prefer the quiet beauty of our island as they pause in their travels from Alaska to mate and give birth before continuing on to the Arctic. In fact it wasn't unusual to at least once a day be able to see the humpback whales just off the coast as they dove and often played games with a nearby sailboat. After seeing such an exciting and beautiful animal so close and unafraid, I became angry when I heard that our government along with five other countries were planning to bomb a small uninhabited island which happened to be in the center of the whale's birthing place. I should also mention that Maui residents were up in arms because the proposed bombing site is situated a mere five miles from the more populated side of Maui. The last I heard was that bombing was to begin on April 1 . Why? I asked, why are they risking the future of an endangered animal ( only 800 are known to remain.) when they could easily postpone their "duty" until after the whales have migrated on?
