Lech Walesa was elected president of Solidarity

In 1980, life in Poland was getting expensive. The price of food was rising fast, and wages werent keeping up. Workers began to strike in protest.

The Baltic city of Gdansk had grown into something of a hotbed of resistance to the Communist government. And it was the workers in the Lenin Shipyards who were the most rebellious.

The firing of crane operator and activist Anna Walentynowicz was the last straw. And on 14 August, 17,000 workers went on strike and took control of the shipyard. They were led by the impressively mustachioed electrician Lech Walesa.

The Gdansk strike inspired others throughout Poland, and soon workers in 200 factories across the country had downed tools. They handed a list of 21 demands to the government, including the right to strike and the right to form independent trade unions.

The government caved in, and on 31 August, agreed the Gdansk Accords, conceding many of the workers demands.

And so, on 17 September, a group of workers representatives formed Solidarity, the first independent trade union the Soviet bloc had ever seen, and Lech Walesa was elected president.

Over the next 18 months or so, membership grew to nearly ten million. It soon became a social and political force, demanding economic reform and greater freedom.

General Wojciech Jaruzelski, under pressure from the Soviet Union, imposed martial law in 1981, and in 1982 declared Solidarity illegal. It spent the next few years as an underground organisation.

But support flooded in from overseas. Confusingly for many, world-class union-basher Margaret Thatcher became a fan, along with top lefty Tony Benn, plus Ronald Reagan, and the Pope.

What would the completion of the new Hilo High School gymnasium be without another delay?

On Saturday, Sept. 13, the school community was set to recognize the grand opening of the long-anticipated facility. But with five days to go, those plans were put on hold.

Principal Robert Dircks asked media representatives Tuesday, Sept. 9, to delay announcing the opening event after he learned of an unanticipated delay.

In an email sent Monday, Dircks explained the opening was delayed because of a scheduling conflict between contractors regarding the paving of the gyms driveway fronting Waianuenue Avenue. General contractor F&H Construction and subcontractor Yamada and Sons Inc. were delayed in completing the driveway because of malfunctioning equipment, he said.

The driveway work was completed Friday, Dircks added, but the dedication of the gymnasium will be rescheduled once the gymnasium is completed. This date has not yet been set, but we expect it to be no later than Nov. 26, he wrote.

It was unclear what specific work remains to be done on the property. In his email, Dircks said the state, contractor and the architect have begun a process to draw up a punchlist with final touches to be performed on the building.

When the punchlist is completed to the satisfaction of all involved, the building will be turned over to the school, he said.

The $11.2 million gymnasium has met with a number of delays since its earliest inception, and officials say much of the delay can be traced to a requirement that the building serve double duty.

The new gymnasium serves not only as an athletic facility but also as a Civil Defense shelter and staging area. As a result of the latter, the architectural design requirements were reviewed and subsequently adjusted to meet stringent criteria, Dircks said.

Meanwhile, he added, structural issues within the steelwork of the building further helped push back the completion date.
