Lidman -said new signs and landscaping on Washington Street will be in-' stalled to attract more people. The improvements, paid in part 1 with a $75,000 donation by local businesses in the Gateway Associa- tion, will be on Washington between 44th Street and the Hohokam Expressway. In addition, a building will be constructed to, alleviate the overcrowded condi-, dons of the existing 16-year-old, museum building. There also would be plaza pav-, ing and landscaping.

The state Department of Transportation will make improvements to the Old Crosscut Canal, an irrigation canal that cuts through the Pueblo Grande site. The idea was that older people, who had grown up shopping, would enjoy a place that offers choices and also would be stimulated by the vitality of the setting. The Phoenix and Scottsdale centers are sponsored by Robinson's, Scottsdale Memorial Health Systems Inc. and the Foundation for Senior Living. OASIS also has a grant from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix and an arts grant from Phelps Dodge Corp.

Other funds come from Valley of-the Sun United Way and the Arizona Humanities Council. OASIS relies on volunteer help from members, although that is not essential for membership. About 100 members currently help with class registration and other duties on a rotating basis. The OASIS lounge and office are open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

on weekdays. Phone 248-0061, Ext. 3187. classes and special events will differ between the Phoenix and Scottsdale programs. For example, the story of the penny from medieval times to the present will be chronicled at the Phoenix OASIS school.

Scottsdale offers a provocatively titled course: "Good Grief, Maude! It's an Oxymoron!" It shows participants how humor can be found in words and word combinations. One-day trips to scenic sites in Arizona will be offered by the Phoenix OASIS program. Destinations include Prescott, Payson, Queen Creek, Walnut Canyon and Indian ruins, and Flagstaff's Sunset Crater and Lowell Observatory. One of OASIS unique facets, Oksner said, is its educational focus in a department store setting. The program was founded in 1982 by the head of the May Department Store chain in the Midwest, starting with programs at three St.

Louis stores. Some courses planned this summer at the Park Central and Scottsdale Robinson's are a "55 Alive Mature Driving financial planning; and a session on writing and publishing. "TV reporters from KTVK, KTSP and KPNX will give seminars about news gathering. Some' classes are free. Others cost $1.

Courses, which will be taught by about 75 instructors, ranging from one-session seminars to six-week programs. -'This fall, there will be three-day training programs at the Phoenix and Scottsdale OASIS schools for an intergenerational tutoring pro-gYam with several school districts. Volunteers will work with first-, second- and third-graders in the Murphy School District and the Scottsdale School District as well as in the dropout prevention program in the Phoenix Union High School District. the summer, some land the park has grown from its original 5.5 acres to more than 100 acres. Recognized as a National Historic Landmark in 1964, the park contains significant archaeological features of the Hohokam, a prehistoric society that occupied an area encompassing 30,000 square miles in southern Arizona from about 300A.D.tol450A.D.

Archaeologists and anthropologists have been unraveling the mystery of the Hohokam civilization since 1876. Thousands of letters and photos from archaeologists stored in boxes in the city's museum will be highlighted in a two-volume scientific report on Pueblo Grande to be authored by University of Arizona professor Chris Downum. The city will publish the report At its peak, the Pueblo Grande Village covered more than 1,000 acres with homes, storage rooms, outside cooking and activity areas, cemeteries, a platform mound and several ball courts. The Hohokam built hundreds of miles of irrigation canals that fed fields of vegetables, cotton and tobacco. Many modern canals still follow those original paths of the Hohokam waterways.

Before implementing the master plan proposals, the parks board decided that it was more important to stabilize the ruins. Some of $2.1 million in bonds approved by voters is being used for the stabilization. Nine National Park Service employees are expected to finish stabilizing the 800-year-old platform mound in June. Since November, they have been repairing walls using adobe and stone and backfilling some of the rooms with clean fill dirt. "There had been severe erosion because of vibrations from airplanes, rain, heat, insects and rodents," said Todd Bostwick, city archaeologist, who oversees the Pueblo Grande archaeological projects as well as other archaeological ventures throughout Phoenix.

There also will be a new trail system built on the 300- by 150-foot mound in the area. Exhibits inside the museum will be renovated. Lidman said there won't be enough bond money left to implement the entire master plan, but it will be a start. He hopes to obtain government and private grants to supplement the bond money.

There would be an an expanded gift shop, a food concession and meeting rooms and classrooms. r. ft- 4 4. A 4 Luncheon. Specials i 7 from OP OP CENTRAL i3.95 J2.95 1.
