Friends and colleagues: The latest installment of the Video News from TAC features the following stories:
* In 1928, the coastal city of Hoquiam in Washington state was a boom town supplying timber for the rapidly growing American West. The Simpson Avenue Bridge opened that year, but its design became problematic as it entered the Twenty-First Century. Transportation engineers found a smart way to preserve the bridge and keep it functioning for the people of today.
* Lisa Westwood concludes our preview series for The Archaeology Channel International Film and Video Festival (7-11 May 2013, Eugene, Oregon) with seven short clips.
You can see these stories in the April 2013 edition of this monthly half-hour show, available now on our nonprofit streaming-media Web site, The Archaeology Channel (http://www.archaeologychannel.org) as well as on cable TV in cities across the US.
Launched in October 2010, the Video News from TAC has presented 67 stories on highly varied topics in 13 US states, 23 other countries, and two heavenly bodies (the Earth and the Moon).
