    The Henry County baseball team started the 2010 season losing four of its first five games and eight of its first 10. Lately, things have changed inside the Henry dugout.

    After that first 10-game stretch, the Wildcats have won seven of nine, including three straight last week that continues to point the Cats in the right direction and at the right time.

    They are just one game away from .500 with a 9-10 overall record — something that seemed far fetched in mid-April when the Cats were struggling to get in the win column.

    Two bridges in the county’s fourth district soon will be replaced.

    Magistrate Nick Hawkins, who represents the district, told New Castle commissioners last week that projects for the two bridges — on Beasley Road and Hieatt Lane, won approval from the state.

    “We found additional funding in the road budget,” he said.

    Hawkins said the bridges currently are paved, but will be replaced with 18-foot steel spans. “They always wash out,” he said.
