rA message from our President & CEO

We entered 2009 with questions and trepidation about what our year would hold. Looking back after a slow start, followed by the timely Federal Stimulus and the opportunities in the gas energy fi eld, we were able to conclude another successful year. The accomplishments during the year were numerous and gratifying in that they laid the ground work for our future:

Our intermodal rail yard operation in Pleasant Gap, PA for inbound and outbound bulk materials, coal, road salt, asphalt and aggregate

The opening of our recycling yard in State College in May as part of our green recycling initiative, which now turns waste products into useful construction and landscaping products

Additional aggregate operations in Frewsburg, NY and in Antrim, PA

Our asphalt and construction operations set the pace with our largest year in recycling and the completion of landmark bridges in Lick Run, Hyde, Clearfi eld and Columbia County I-80.

Awards and recognition came from a number of places for our projects – the Huntingdon Million Dollar Bridge, as the Rehab Project of the Year from the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Association for Bridge Construction and Design, and for the Lick Run Bridge and First Quality Tissue plant site in Lewistown, recognized by the Central PA Chapter of the Associated Builders and Contractors.

The low point of 2009 came in April with the loss of Eric Zimmerman of Clarion, PA, in an accident while removing piling on a structure in Dubois. Eric was a bright young leader who, in his passing, left a continuing reminder of the fragility of life and that the work we do is not without risk!

Also in April, the owners of GOH, Inc. purchased the former Schulkill Products Company of Cressona, PA. The new company, Northeast Prestressed Products, LP (NPP), with its skilled staff and workforce has marched back to full speed in serving DOT projects from Massachusetts to Virginia with great quality beams and other precast products.

To all of you, customer, friends, team members and associates: We could not have done it this year without YOU. Our most sincere thanks, and may 2010 be your best year ever!

Ownership Transitions ……Many of you are aware that the ownership of GOH changed on December 18, 2009. Over the past year the ownership has worked together to plan and execute the passing of GOH Company stock and interest onto a 3rd generation of leadership and ownership. Agreements were complete which purchased the interests of Glenn O., Jr. and Alan Hawbaker. Glenn Jr’s plan is to retire on January 1, 2010, while Alan will continue with GOH, Inc. under a consulting agreement for up to 5 years. The passing of family ownership can sometimes be diffi cult. With patience and ongoing dialogue, all issues were concluded with family relationships intact.

2010We start the New Year with a carry-over of projects on I-80, Rte 219, Rte 220 and a number of design-build bridge projects. Asphalt paving crews will have fast and promising start as well. With our continuing initiatives in engineering, aggregates, construction, transportation and portable crushing, it is our goal to remain fl exible to respond to our customers – public, commercial or energy related – quickly and responsibly. We will adhere to the GOH core capabilities of what GOH has been, while seeking and executing the new and promising opportunities that will add to our ability to serve both our current customers and those we have yet to meet. Our agility and ability to adapt quickly and safely to the ever changing opportunities will be what it takes to keep us moving forward.

Derry HeightsHawbaker Engineering recently had the opportunity to team up with GOH on a design/build project near Lewistown, PA. Pittsburgh based Moraitis Properties hired Hawbaker Engineering to complete a land development plan and obtain state and local approvals for Derry Heights – Phase 1. This fi rst phase consists of a Hampton Inn & Suites, an attached restaurant with banquet facility and a 10-plex digital theater, scheduled to open fall 2010. Earthwork began in November and will require approximately 90,000 cubic yards of material to be handled. GOH will provide building pads, site utilities, curbing, sidewalks and pavement for 296 parking stalls plus access drives.

Planning for Phase 2 will begin early 2010 and will feature a 70,000 – 80,000 square foot indoor water park. The park will include a wave pool, lazy river and several slides. A welcome center, two additional hotels and an arcade for all ages will be attached to the water park. A signifi cant amount of earthwork is expected to create a pad large enough to place the buildings and 800 parking stalls. Planning and permitting for the park is projected to take 14-20 months and construction may take as long as 18 months to complete. The park is expected to open in 2013.

Additional phases may include restaurants, a convenience store and a fi nancial institution. Eric Kann, Hawbaker Engineering

The Inn at Bald Eagle State ParkPennsylvania’s State Park system will have its fi rst nature inn ready for occupancy late this spring. Located near Howard, Centre County,

Bald Eagle State Park will host this 18,500 square foot, 16-room building that will include a high effi ciency geothermal heating and cooling system, solar collectors to heat water for showers and laundry, low-water-use plumbing fi xtures and high effi ciency

lighting. Pennsylvania hardwoods and local sandstone add a unique touch to the appearance of the “green” facility.

Mike Lascoli, project supervisor at L. S. Fiore Inc. of Altoona has been managing this project since its groundbreaking. Several engineering alterations have taken place (but what project

hasn’t?) which has pushed the completion date to May. L. S. Fiore Inc contracted GOH, Inc. to perform the site work. Ray Zimmerman, Ryan Terrizzi and crew

spent their summer at the Park excavating, installing underground utilities and applying the base to the parking lot and main

entrance at the inn. They’ll return in the spring to fi nish the topsoil application and apply the

asphalt wearing.

Leader, Role Model, Inspiration……Recognizing George Logue, Sr.Ambassador for Peace, Father, Husband, Leader, Inventor, Role Model “An inspiration for all people” reads the citation announcing the selection of GEORGE LOGUE, SR. as an Outstanding Alumnus of the Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences. GOH certainly agrees. “The award is the highest honor that the College of Agricultural Sciences and the Ag Alumni Society present to select alumni who have achieved notable professional achievements and brought distinction to themselves, the college and the university.” George Logue is a role model for everyone in GOH and elsewhere. His engineering innovations have resulted in fi ve U.S. patents. His community service on numerous boards has changed the Williamsport area forever. His pursuit of long deserving recognition for those who lost their lives in World War II has resulted in the establishment of memorials in our country and Japan. George is a leader of great honor, humility, and selfl essness. GOH remains indebted to George Logue. George is the founder and original owner of George E. Logue, Inc. That company is the bedrock of what is now the Eastern Region of GOH. Accordingly many GOH employees have strong ties and loyalty to George. His passion and resources created lasting employment for many in what became the GOH Eastern Region. As an engineering innovator, George Logue holds fi ve U.S. patents. His innovations include a remotely controlled surface-subsurface clearance vehicle for the U.S. Navy. Other patents include innovations to improve heavy construction equipment and dump truck bodies. George Logue spent many years working to memorialize the crew of the World War II submarine, USS Wahoo. George’s oldest brother, Robert, lost his life when the Wahoo sank in the Sea of Japan in 1943. George traveled to Japan several times and spearheaded the establishment of a Peace Memorial honoring submariners. George also donated land to Williamsport to construct a monument honoring the more than 3,500 U.S. sailors lost on submarines during the war. His eff orts refl ect his love for his brother and his deep respect for those who serve in our Armed Forces. Many GOH employees, university engineering students and their professors, and wide-eyed tourists have enjoyed a visit to what is known as the “CAT Barn.” Here George serves as a coach and mentor to those looking for a future in the construction industry as he leads tours of his large collection of industry equipment. Once an inquisitive college student asked George “does all this old equipment still run?” George replied quickly “you wouldn’t go to the zoo to see dead elephants, would you?” This is more than a quick and witty response. Rather, it refl ects the pride, high standards, and thorough approach to everything George does. Of course they still run. George would have it no other way. George will be quick to tell you that his biggest joys have come from his family. George and Elizabeth, known to many as “Aunt Liz”, are the proud parents of 10 children. Herman Logue, one of their children, is our own Eastern Region VP. All who know the Logues are quick to profess that they are a wonderful family. They further say that while George was out inventing, building, researching, etc, “Aunt Liz” kept the family going. Certainly no small feat with 10 children. Several years ago “on-track” magazine described George Logue as a “Renaissance Man.” Such a person is defi ned as one who has wide interests and is expert in several areas. It is a very appropriate description for this industry pioneer and highly respected leader. GOH congratulates George E. Logue Sr. on his recent award. He certainly deserves it! When anyone here now or in the future wants a role model, look no further than George. His values, selfl essness, and humility are worthy of our study and following.

Mike Pearson, US Army RET.

In MemoriamWe would like to take a moment to recognize Byron “Barney” Miller, who drove tri-axle 7-128 based in Dubois. Barnie started at GOH on July 12, 1999 and worked here until his untimely death on November 14, 2009, which occurred when he hit a deer while riding his motorcycle. He is survived by his wife, Linda and his two daughters, Michelle and Missi, as well as two grand-daughters. His viewing was a great testament to the impact he had on others surrounding him as there was a 1 ½ hour line to visit the family. Barney was also a veteran having served in the U.S. Air Force. Barney – you will be missed by many!Mike Modica

On Tour At Pleasant Gap QuarryIn September, Pleasant Gap Quarry received a visit from the participants of Center for Dirt and Gravel Road’s Environmentally Sensitive Maintenance (ESM) Workshop. This annual workshop promotes practices that reduce maintenance costs and sediment pollution from unpaved roads.

Several years ago the Center for Dirt and Gravel Roads developed an aggregate product mixture that would withstand the natural elements and vehicle traffi c on unpaved roads. The mixture of 2A, # 57 and dust was named Driving Surface Aggregate (DSA). Today, State and Local Agencies commonly apply DSA to unpaved roads. Pleasant Gap Quarry is well-known for its ability to produce large quantities of this enduring product.

Cory Fries, Scott Reck and Tom Abbey explained to the tour group what eff orts and production processes are needed to produce DSA. The tour included a stop at our recycled asphalt stockpile, Brooks Pit and the plant’s crushing operation.

Pleasant Gap Rail TerminalThe fi rst product shipped from the Intermodal Rail Terminal in Pleasant Gap, PA was loaded in early December. On the cover, this truck being loaded with salt is the fi rst of tens of thousands of trucks that will leave the terminal over the next few years, providing both revenue for the company and employment opportunities for our people. This truck represents the eff orts of many GOH and Hawbaker Engineering employees, whose ideas and sweat brought us to this point. Pete Baer had the honor of loading the fi rst truck, which was driven by Dave Miller. Behind the scenes in Transportation Dispatch, Tina Stover coordinated with American Rock Salt of Mt. Morris, NY, owner of all the salt at our facility, to get the shipment to Rush Township. The terminal is also receiving two unit trains of 200 cars by year’s end for shipment to Penn State. In addition, the liquid asphalt storage area is rapidly nearing completion and in position to receive product by both truck and rail.

Newberry Bulk Transfer FacilityCentral Pennsylvania’s capacity for combined truck / rail freight movement has been signifi cantly increased with the completion of a $4.1 million dollar bulk transfer facility at the Newberry rail yard in Williamsport.  The project’s general contractor, HEPCO Construction, based in Selinsgrove, PA, awarded the site work package to GOH, Inc. Crews from both State College and Montoursville teamed together to complete this project.

“Bulk transfer” or “intermodal” refers to the movement of large quantities of commodities, one which combines railroads’ large tonnage and long-haul effi ciencies with the convenience of trucking’s capacity for door-to-door delivery.  The facility at Newberry will handle products like plastic resin, fl our and sweeteners, ethanol, and scrap rail. 

According to Jeff Stover, Executive Director, Joint Rail Authority, “The new facility is among changes that are occurring in the world of transportation.  Bulk transfer facilities, which accommodate both rail freight and trucking, are emblematic of a growing realization that diff erent transportation modes are appropriate for diff erent situations. 

“Rail, because it uses less energy than trucks and does not add to highway congestion, is the more suited means for cross-country transport,” said Stover.  “On the other hand, trucks can access the many industrial and commercial sites that are not directly served by rail, and can ideally serve as the ‘go between,’ transporting products to and from bulk transfer facilities.” 

The new facility consists of an 8,300 square-foot building, four storage spurs with paved truck drives along each spur; water, sewer, and gas utilities; and the extension of Catawissa Avenue into the rail yard which provides trucks with easy access to Interstate-80 via the Reach Road interchange.   Chris Logue

Venango 8 Box CulvertGOH, Inc. was low bidder in July 2009 on a project to replace a badly deteriorated bridge carrying Rt. 8 across Kane Run, a trout stream, in northern Venango County.

The project was designed to construct half of the box culvert at a time maintaining one-way traffi c on Rt. 8 at all times. PennDOT’s concern about the structure’s safety led them to collaborate with the PA Fish Commission, PA DEP, and GOH to change the project scope so it could be built before the end of the ‘09 construction season. The result was a 3-week road closure to de-molish the existing bridge, install a new box culvert, and reconstruct the roadway across the box so that Rt. 8 could be reopened to unimpeded traffi c fl ow.

Toby Mazzoni, PM/Estimator and John Tkacik, Project Superintendent, led the eff ort. Marty Gibson, Jerab Lewis and Eddie Strishock worked to demolish the existing bridge, prepare the base for the precast box, backfi ll the box, and grade the roadway for paving. Strongstown B & K installed the pre-cast box culvert supplied by AC Miller. Dave Davis, Vincent Powell, Harold Green, and David Horne completed the cast-in-place concrete toe-wall, apron and curb. Dave Klabnik, Raymond Denny, Lee McCand-less, Duane Bollinger, Danny Goldinger, Steve McCanna, Ronald Wareham, Robert Cornelius, Patrick McNicholas, and Robert Brown placed the asphalt. The project was completed, except for the fi nal wearing course which will be placed in Spring 2010, and the roadway was re-opened within the planned 3-week road closure despite heavy rainfall and harsh weather conditions. Thanks to the eff orts and team work of everyone involved, it was a successful project for GOH, the Department of Transportation, the PA Fish Commission, and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.

Building our Communities: The Williamsport Hospital and Medical CenterThe Susquehanna Health System is in the midst of the largest revitalization and expansion project in its history at the Williamsport Hospital campus. This expansion project includes a new all-private inpatient tower, emergency department and surgical suites as well as a state of the art Central Utility Plant (CUP). Working under general contractor L.F. Driscoll, Inc. from Philadelphia PA, GOH, Inc. has already had several subcontracts totaling in excess of 4 million dollars.

Our fi rst project was for site excavation and improvements for the CUP building. The main items of work included demoorums and reinstallation of fence/gate, parking lots, sidewalk, and building pad demolition, as well as all utility relocates for sanitary sewer, storm sewer and waterlines. Our second project at the campus was the utility work for phase 1 of the patient tower expansion project, consisting of demolition of existing parking lots and fences, sanitary sewer and waterline relocations. Both of these projects have been 100% completed as of October of 2009. Shortly after completion the L.F. Driscoll Company again came to GOH, Inc. for their site work needs for the new Patient tower building. This project is much larger in scope and scale than the previous work including demolition of existing facilities, utility work, earthwork, as well as concrete curbs/sidewalks, and asphalt paving. We are currently 35% complete on this project.

Chris Logue, John Shirey, and Carl Lutz along with their crews have done an excellent job of meeting some very critical schedules as well as project milestones that have met all of L.F. Driscoll’s expectations. They have built a strong relationship with the L.F. Driscoll fi rm and shown the Susquehanna Health System that they can rely on GOH, Inc. to keep them “up and running” when it is crucial.

We are also currently working for Lundy Construction on a project within this massive expansion project. With an expected completion date of 2012, GOH, Inc. has gotten in on the ground fl oor and hopes to continue to work on this site until the fi nal day of construction. There will be many GOH workers in the future that will be able to drive by this state of the art medical campus and tell there children and grandchildren how they contributed to its realization within our community.

DESIGN BUILD PROCESS PRESENTATION APC FALL SEMINAR NOVEMBER 19TH,2009Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. was invited by Leonard Bellanca of APC to participate in a presentation to the APC Fall Seminar participants on the subject of Design-Build Project Delivery for Penndot projects. As many contractors are not familiar with the design-build process, Leonard and APC expected the subject to be a popular. Two back to back sessions were scheduled and very well-attended. The presentation consisted of four speakers;Mike Long - Chief of Contract Management Division of the Bureau of Construction and Materials at Penndot Central Offi ceBud Dover - Senior Project Manager/Estimator here at GOHTim Benner - Transportation Division Manager and Senior Structural Engineer at McTish, Kunkel, and AssociatesHeath Youkin - Vice President of Operations at CH & D, Inc.

Mike Long covered the department’s experience to date, Bud discussed the pros and cons of the process between advertisement and bid, Tim Benner did an overview of the designer’s challenges and suggestions for improvement, Heath presented the contractor’s criticisms and lessons learned during the time period between award and project completion.

Mike closed the session by giving an overview of the future of the design build program and improvements that Penndot intends to make. I think it was unanimous that the problems that we all have had are being addressed in the changes. The design build method is going to play a large part in bidding future projects.

Beware of Black IceDriving during the winter presents a number of hazards, not the least of which is the risk of encountering black ice. According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation, black ice is formed when the air is warmer than the pavement, causing moisture to quickly form into a transparent layer of ice. Auto emissions can cause black ice to form on heavily congested roads as well as on shaded areas, near lakes and rivers, in tunnels and on overpasses and bridges.

Black ice can look similar to a dry road, and many motorists may not even realize ice is present until their vehicle begins to slide. Drivers can help neutralize the risk of black ice by taking the following precautions:

Make sure your vehicle’s tires are in good condition and provide good traction.

Keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. Stopping on ice takes twice as long as stopping on a dry road, so maintain a minimum of three-car distance from the vehicle ahead of you.

Shift into a lower gear if you suspect an area is icy. If you see cars ahead of you skidding, shifting into a lower gear will slow down your vehicle and increase your control.

If you feel your vehicle begin to skid, take your foot off of the accelerator. When your vehicle begins to skid out of control, your fi rst inclination may be to slam on the brakes, but this will only make the skid worse. Turn in the direction the car is skidding, rather than against it. This will help you regain control of the vehicle and get it back on the right track.

Our New York aggregate operations have entered a new phase with the opening of the Young Farm facility. Located in the southern New York town of Lindley, the facility is named for the former owners of the property. The site has good gravel quality and quantities and will provide opportunities for concrete and asphalt business across southern New York and northern Pennsylvania.

Fitness First: Exercise and Healthy EatingIn addition to trimming your waistline, regular exercise and healthy eating will help you feel better, think more clearly, and live a longer, healthier life.

How Much Exercise Do I Need?Exercise should be fairly comfortable for you. Your pace should be just below the point at which you start to breathe quickly. Exercising at this pace produces two desirable results: it mobilizes fat burning and helps you develop endurance. This means that for maximum fat burning, longer, slower exercise is more benefi cial than short, strenuous workouts. If you are reasonably fi t and are exercising at the proper pace, you should burn between 400 and 600 calories per hour during any aerobic exercise. This includes riding a stationary bicycle, walking or running on a treadmill or using a stair climber.

Start SensiblyDon’t begin your exercise program too ambitiously. The key to success is to start slowly and increase the diffi culty of your workouts as you become more fi t. Those that overdo it experience muscle soreness, become discouraged, and quit. Rather than trying to run three miles on your fi rst day, begin by running a mile and increasing your distance as your fi tness level improves. Most importantly, remember that feeling dizzy or ill is your body’s way of telling you that you are working too hard. If this happens, take a rest from your exercise or stop your workout for the day.

Counting Calories Means Trimming the FatThe media is full of widely varying reports on how to lose or maintain weight. It’s no wonder that you may be confused about what foods to eat and what to avoid. Most experts agree that eating a well-balanced diet low in fat is the key to losing weight. Since fat contains more than twice the calories of carbohydrates or protein, high fat food equates to higher calories. While lowering your fat intake is important, it is also important to monitor your calorie intake. Your ideal caloric intake depends on your age, body size, and level of activity. Generally, women ages 23 to 50 need an average of 2,000 calories per day, while men in the same age group require about 2,700 calories per day.

Windstream ‘Green Truck Tour’ comes to GOH!On November 10th, Windstream Corporation announced that it completed its acquisition of D&E Communications, a communications provider to GOH for many, many years. On November 20th, the ‘Green Truck Tour’ came to the GOH parking lot. It was a cold day, but we braved the weather to enjoy donuts, tee shirts, backpacks, die-cast replicas and pictures in the truck. More than one of us wanted to drive home the 1953 Chevy 5-window pick-up. To fi nd out more about the tour go to http://www.greentrucktour.com/.
