If Punxsutawney Phil can’t see his shadow next year, he can always go stand in the shade of the new Mahoning Creek Bridge. The Punxsutawney Borough in Pennsylvania will soon be accessible via a smoother and safer bridge over the Mahoning Creek. The current 200-ft. (61 m) bridge which carries U.S. 119 over the creek is being replaced with a 220-ft. (67 m)

three-lane, two-span composite steel multi-girder bridge. The $5.3 million project is located between SR 3017 (Indiana Street) and Church Street in Punxsutawney Borough, Jefferson County. The PennDOT (Pennsylvania Department of Transportation) project includes bridge replacement, approach work and additional paving extending to downtown Punxsutawney. Work began in March 2010 and is anticipated to be

The blowout of the Deepwater Horizon oil well in April has been a slow-motion disaster for Gulf states, with the agony measured in economic uncertainty as well as in real-and-present environmental injury. Construction contractors are among the residents of states bordering the Gulf of Mexico who are still assimilating what it all means. There is not yet general agreement whether the spill, now capped, will end up hurting the industry a little, a lot, or not at all. In truth, the immediate impact on builders is mostly positive. That’s because manmade and natural disasters always spur clean-up activity, which nearly always means building industry job creation in the short term. After Hurricane Katrina smashed Louisiana and Mississippi in 2005, debris removal and then reconstruction of vast stretches of those states were a tremendous boon to contractors. One of the differences between that catastrophe and this one is that most of the oil spillage is affecting Gulf waters and coastal areas. While some sand berm-building and coastal dredging work suddenly has been needed, the bulk of the manpower

Stimulus Transportation Investments a Bright Spot The highway investments in the stimulus law have been a bright spot for a transportation construction industry hard hit by recessioninduced cutbacks in state programs and decline in private sector work. But continued uncertainty about passage of a multi-year surface transportation reauthorization bill

is hindering chances for a sustained economic recovery. That was the thrust of the message delivered by Kevin Gannon, vice president of Appleton, Wis.based Northeast Asphalt Inc., at a July 27 House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee hearing on implementation of the

American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Gannon, a director on the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) board, told the committee that recovery act-funded projects his company is working on have not wholly offset the 50 percent drop in

private sector work in recent years. He said, however, that ARRA projects have allowed them to hang on to the firm’s existing workforce. Gannon noted that as of July 16, more than 11,000 highway and bridge projects under the recovery act had moved to the construction see ARTBA page 104

Groff Tractor Acquires Long-Planned Ebensburg Facility On July 30, Groff Tractor & Equipment Inc. purchased the assets of Cambria Tractor in Ebensburg, Pa. Groff’s newest location will be known as the Ebensburg location and is located at 4355 Admiral Peary Highway, Ebensburg, Pa. This acquisition has been many years in the making as it was part of Groff Tractor’s original vision when it acquired territory and opened branches in western Pa. in 1998. “The Ebensburg location and territory is the missing piece of the puzzle that Groff Tractor has been waiting for in order to complete our contiguous footprint in two-thirds of Pennsylvania,” said Mike Savastio, president, Groff Tractor. Customers of Cambria Tractor will see many familiar faces as Groff Tractor retained all of the previous employees who applied. In addition, at least two employees are transferring from the Bellefonte location. The acquisition “will give us the ability to provide better coverage for our customers, including an additional branch and employees with many years of experience in the construction equipment industry,” said to Katie Reed, director of human resources and marketing. “In fact, all of the employees hired from Cambria Tractor have worked in the industry for 15 to 30 years.” Positive Changes Ahead There are many positive changes that will benefit customers as a result of this acquisition, according to Groff. First, customers formerly working with Cambria Tractor will now have access to all of Groff Tractor’s inventory, product Groff’s newest location will be known as the Ebensburg location and is located at 4355 Admiral Peary Highway, lines and branches. Additional inventory allows for more in- Ebensburg, Pa. stock equipment for sale and rent, and substantially more in-stock parts inventory. It also will allow for additional service technicians, many of whom have specialized training in various product lines. With Ebensburg being only about an hour west of Bellefonte and east of New Stanton, Groff Tractor will have the ability to dispatch service technicians from other branches when needed. “Although we will bring the benefits of economies of scale to the Cambria Tractor customers, we want to assure them that we don’t have a cookie cutter approach to the operations of our company or branches. Our operational procedures vary to meet the needs of the customers in the area closest to each branch,” said Savastio. For more information, call 814/472-7300 or visit www.grofftractor.com. CEG (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CEG The Cambria Tractor acquisition brings the number of Groff Tractor locations to six across much of Pennsylvania.

Still Too Early to Evaluate Full Effect of Gulf Oil Spill SPILL from page 1

enrolled to contain the oil has been way offshore. The biggest economic blow so far has been to industries inextricably linked to the Gulf of Mexico waters — fishing, tourism and offshore drilling. Most operators of fishing boats and charters in Louisiana are now working for British Petroleum, containing oil or skimming oil from the water instead of throwing lines into it. State governors tried for awhile to stave off tourist cancellations by putting out brave calls for tourists to come on down. As for oil drillers, President Obama’s moratorium on offshore drilling remains a threat to close the doors on any number of drilling support companies in Louisiana and Mississippi. A judge initially halted the ban, ruling it regulatory overkill, but the administration promptly issued a second moratorium and hopes its language passes judicial muster. In response to the second ban, one company — Diamond Offshore — announced it was moving its drilling rig from the Gulf to waters off Egypt. If undersea boring in the Gulf is stopped by the administration for six months, hundreds of construction and machinery contractors for the industry — many of whom never leave dry land — will face hard times. An oil industry-sponsored report by the American Energy Alliance issued July 20 says the 6-month moratorium could cost the region more than 8,000 jobs – including construction contractors – and $2 billion in economic activity. “The moratorium could be more costly than the oil spill itself,” said the author of the report, Louisiana State University professor Joseph R. Mason. A Moody’s Analytics report issued the same week pegs the cost of the oil spill itself at 17,000 regional jobs lost and more than a billion dollars in economic growth sacrificed. Immediate Work Impact Is Positive For now, though, things are not so bad. “Work actually is getting busier,” said Anirban Basu, who is CEO of Baltimorebased Sage Policy Group and economist of Associated Builders and Contractors. “In the short term, any disaster is somewhat positive as a job producer.” Though Basu affirmed the linkage between disasters and work opportunities for construction companies, he, too, saw longterm instability in the industry as a consequence of the spill. State governments already are hard hit by the economy. They also are about to have the stimulus-funding spigot turned off. As oil spill-reduced tourism further depletes Gulf states’ revenues, state budgetary traumas will only worsen. What Basu finds most startling is the neg-

ative reaction of Gulf coast residents to the moratorium and the general response of government to the spill. The residents’ greatest concern clearly is that jobs are at stake. “It is fascinating, frankly, to see the level of outrage directed toward government about jobs,” Basu said. In June, Louisiana’s unemployment rate was 7 percent, up from 6.8 percent in May, but still much lower than the U.S. rate of 9.5. Construction employment in the state increased during the month but the jobless rate remains high. Brian Turmail, an Associated General Contractors spokesman in Washington, reported that members are anxious about the potential impact of the floating oil on Gulf contractors. Turmail said feedback from members in the region has been inconclusive, but worrisome. “Everyone is kind of nervous because of a public view that all the beaches are covered with oil,” Turmail said, which they are not. “If that fear shakes out to a multiyear concern and tourism is hurt, that will have real impact.” Any reduction in tourism will shrink government budgets and result in less money for school and infrastructure construction, he observed. “We haven’t seen the beginning of the impact, or are just seeing the beginning of it.” But not everyone shares his view. In Baton Rouge, Ken Naquin is not at all worried about job losses. The CEO of the Louisiana chapter of Associated General Contractors is confident that few if any jobs of AGC member companies are jeopardized by the Deepwater Horizon incident. “It’s pretty much business as usual,” Naquin said at the end of June. “The spill and the clean-up really won’t affect our highway, building and utility contractors.” This is partly because Louisiana contractors are still living off stimulus money. The state received $433 million in American Recovery & Reinvestment Act funds. About three-dozen stimulus-funded projects are under way or completed in the state, according to the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, and twice that many are scheduled to start soon. Louisiana’s highway projects are specifically funded by a state fuel tax dedicated to such work, Naquin said, and doesn’t see spill-related layoffs impairing those contracts. “We don’t anticipate any impact at all,” he said. Impact on Some Louisiana Contractors Part of Naquin’s confidence stems from the fact that Louisiana’s AGC chapter has no members working in the oilfield industry. Those contractors are represented by the Louisiana Oilfield Contractors Association (LOCA), which was formed 43 years ago when some road builders, oilfield service

contractors and drilling companies organized to repel attacks upon the industry by union activists. This story is told colorfully in the organization’s published history, wherein it notes that association organizers “are a tough and independent group of self-made individuals who will not be intimidated. LOCA was created by determined men to resolve tough problems… This proud tradition of facing the toughest challenges in the industry head on and overcoming them continues at the Louisiana Oilfield Contractors Association.” The BP oil spill may give the association a chance to add to its toughness tradition. If an offshore moratorium sticks, the impact of it on the Gulf oilfield industry is incalculable, industry observers believe. Dock work and levy construction, pipeline laying and right-of-way clearing, equipment supply and metal fabrication activities as well as on-land and offshore crew assignments would be cut back sharply. A Louisiana Oilfield Contractors Association executive was contacted for this article but did not respond. One Louisiana company already benefiting from the spill is The Shaw Group. The Baton Rouge-headquartered corporation made a name for itself as a disaster-response firm after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita when its construction division was awarded several contracts. It succeeded rather famously in pumping some 50 billion gallons of water out of New Orleans in 17 days, almost two months quicker than expected. Construction crews also temporarily repaired an estimated 1,200 roofs in 24 hours and built 30 temporary housing facilities for refugees of the storm. It subsequently was awarded the contract to erect a two-mile-long Inner Harbor Navigation Canal Surge Barrier to protect New Orleans from future Katrinas, and that work continues. In this disaster, the international firm was awarded a contract to construct more than 120 mi. (193.1 km) of temporary sand berms along coastal barrier islands to — it is hoped — stop the migration of oil into ecologically sensitive marsh areas. The work is being done from a fleet of scows and specialized dredging barges. “Our roots are firmly planted in this state,” Shaw CEO J.M. Bernhard Jr. said in a formal news release about the contract. “As with our Hurricane Katrina recovery work, Shaw has a deep personal interest in our state’s protection and recovery.” Shaw public affairs representatives declined comment for this article. Equipment Dealers Hold Their Breath Construction equipment dealers in the region are uncertain about how much misery the spill eventually will wash ashore. One of

the seven offices of Vermeer Midsouth Inc. is in Gulfport, Miss., and Midsouth president Dennis Vander Molen is keeping an eye on the drifting crisis. “We are still trying to figure out what opportunities for Midsouth there are in this mess. Most of the oil is still in the water and off Louisiana where we don’t have any [sales] jurisdiction,” Vander Molen said in late June. That day, the first oil reached mainland Mississippi, coming ashore in the area of Biloxi. The Vermeer Midsouth executive said he was aware of some funding available for cleanup work, which could include equipment rental or purchase. His dealerships carry such specialty equipment as mobile vacuum excavation systems and compact loaders, both of which might be useable in beach restoration work. “There are some marine grants or something being handed out to the county governments, but those funds are pretty limited,” Vander Molen said. “It is not going to have much of an impact in terms of what those people can buy.” Employment equipment to suck up the crude oil is more likely to occur in Mississippi than in Louisiana, if it happens at all, he added. “Using such equipment in Louisiana is problematic because so much of that coast is bayou and marsh land.” Vander Molen said the business community is not panicking as the oil begins to stain the coastline. “But there definitely is some fear.” Louisiana Machinery is a statewide Caterpillar dealer, with 21 locations. Three of its engine sales and service locations hug the coast. Among the dealership’s offerings are Caterpillar and MaK marine engines. The dealership notes on its Web site that its engine outlets offer “experience to service the needs of the offshore petroleum industry. Our highly trained field service technicians with offshore experience and passports enable our customers to receive specialized marine engine services whenever necessary and wherever they work, worldwide.” The impact of the spill on Louisiana Machinery was still being evaluated as July began. On the one hand, the spill obviously threatens oil-drilling work off Louisiana’s shore. On the other hand, it has augmented the fleet of motorized craft in the Gulf trying to corral the oil. The result is kind of a wash for some equipment suppliers. “We aren’t feeling anything yet,” said Sarah Paola, marketing manager. The mostly unstated hope of construction companies and suppliers across the region is that the feeling continues. CEG

WASHINGTON (AP) Construction spending in the United States edged up in June but all the strength came from the government. Private sector activity in both housing and nonresidential projects fell. Construction spending rose 0.1 percent in June, the Commerce Department reported Aug. 2. While that was better than the decline economists had forecast, the government sharply revised down its estimate of activity in May to show a drop of 1 percent rather than the 0.2 percent dip initially reported. The lackluster performance for construction was the latest indicator that the overall economy slowed in the spring, raising worries about the durability of the recovery that began a year ago. The government reported in July that total economic growth slowed to a rate of 2.4 percent in the April-to-June quarter, down from a 3.7 percent growth rate in the first three months of the year and a 5 percent growth spurt in the fourth quarter of 2009. Economists are worried that growth will slow even more in the second half of this year as still high unemployment restrains consumer spending and the impact of the government’s massive stimulus programs fade. The impact of the withdrawal of government support was evident in the housing sector in June. Spending on housing construction fell for a second consecutive month, dropping 0.8 percent after an even bigger 1.5 percent decline in May. The federal government’s popular homebuyers tax credit expired on April 30 and since that time housing construction and sales have both taken sharp declines. Spending on nonresidential building projects fell for a 15th consecutive month, dropping 0.5 percent in June. This sector has been hard hit by the economic downturn, which has triggered rising defaults on commercial

real estate projects. That has prompted banks to tighten lending standards and made it harder for builders to get financing for new projects. The only strength in June came in the government sector.

NYC City Hall Renovation Targets Dangerous Decay By Sara Kugler Frazier

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

NEW YORK (AP) After rotting trusses, faulty wiring and sagging ceilings were discovered in New York’s City Hall, the nearly 200-year-old national landmark is undergoing a major renovation that will displace the City Council and other operations for at least a year. The city discovered deteriorating conditions during a minor renovation a few years ago, which prompted a wider examination of the building. Officials found widespread failings and alarming decay: cracks through the trusses that support the roof, a rotting basement floor, wiring that was known to spark and dangerously sagging ceilings. The New York City Hall is a major part of New York City history. It displayed assassinated President Abraham Lincoln’s body for public viewing in 1865 and is among the nation’s oldest continuously used city halls, the seat of municipal governments in the United States. The building once was the home of executive, legislative and judicial operations, including a criminal court and jail, in the city, but it is now primarily occupied by the offices of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, City Council and their supporting operations. The white Renaissance Revival-style building was the site of viewings of the bodies of Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant, the Northern

general who accepted the Southern surrender after the U.S. Civil War and later became president. It was illuminated one September evening in 1813 to commemorate American victories in the War of 1812 against the British. General Dwight D. Eisenhower was welcomed with a party in the City Hall on his return from leading the Allied victory in Europe in 1945. Its grandeur is fading. “It’s gotten to the point where it’s really bad,” said Philip J. Kelly, the city official overseeing the renovation. “It has to be done. It’s amazing no one’s been hurt or there hasn’t been a fire.” Recently, just before repairs were to begin in a City Council hearing room, a 10-ft. (3 m)long 6-in. (15 cm)-wide piece of plaster molding broke away from the wall and crashed to the floor. The lower Manhattan building also has survived disaster, including a fire in 1858 during fireworks celebrations marking the laying of the first trans-Atlantic telegraph cable. Many of the crumbling elements date to the building’s original construction. When workers first eyeballed the renovation project, the cost was estimated at $65 million. Officials now say the expense has shot up to $106 million as crews found more problems when they ripped into walls and ceilings. The building’s last major update was in the

1950s, when the exterior marble and brownstone were replaced with white limestone, and an elevator was installed. That elevator will be replaced in the coming project. The work also involves reinforcing the wood trusses in the roof, part of the original 1812 construction, plus repairing the roof and ceiling of the council chambers and adjoining rooms. A building-wide fire sprinkler system also will be installed. The building is getting more efficient lighting, heating and cooling controlled by a computerized building-management system, water fixtures and lighting that are activated by sensors, and solar panels on the roof. Officials acknowledged that the environmental retrofits are not the highest level of upgrades available but cited cost limitations as restrictions on what can be done. Crews began some of the work in 2008, starting on the west side of the building, where Bloomberg’s desk is. Engineers said the trusses would not last another winter without possibly failing, so the beams were reinforced with steel. The renovations will not move the mayor from the west wing, where repairs are being completed without displacing staff. Heavier work is now concentrated on the building’s east side, where the 51-member City Council meets and where many council offices are.

The room that has housed the City Hall press corps since 1898 will be closed during the work. During the construction, council meetings will be at the old Emigrant Savings Bank building on nearby Chambers Street. Hearings will be shifted to another office building across Broadway, where council officials recently settled into temporary offices. Speaker Christine Quinn said there have been a few hiccups, such as telephone problems and having to adjust to closer quarters. “It’s a little bit of an adventure for a year,” she said. “We had no choice: the building is in structural disarray, and it wasn’t safe for us to remain there.” One headache that has added to the growing cost of the renovation: Crews digging behind the building discovered the remains of an 18th century structure the city believes was an almshouse that stood from the 1730s to the 1790s. The area is now being dug by hand and supervised by archeologists. The dig has turned up the remains of other structures, including a water cistern and an icehouse. Evidence of daily life, including bone buttons, medicine bottles and ceramic egg holders, also have been found. The city Landmarks Preservation Commission is overseeing the digging and will determine what to do with the artifacts.

Copper, Industrial Metals Rise on Strong Chinese Demand By Tali Arbel

NEW YORK (AP) Copper and other industrial metals rose recently on signs of strong demand and expectations for growth in China, sending copper to its highest level in three weeks. Copper for September delivery rose 9.15 cents, or 3 percent, to settle at $3.0930 a pound, its highest close since June 29. Adam Klopfenstein, senior market strategist at Lind-Waldock, said it was unclear if copper prices would be able to stay above $3 a pound as the strength of the economic recovery remained uncertain. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke sounded caution about the economic recovery in testimony before Congress July 21. Bernanke said the economic outlook remains “unusually uncertain,” and the central bank was considering options to help

revive the recovery if it faltered. Industrial metals such as copper are used in manufacturing and construction. Strong economic growth would mean more production at factories and more building, boosting demand for the metal and its production. Tom Pawlicki, commodities analyst with MF Global Research in Chicago, said higher expectations for growth in China was driving copper’s gains. On July 20, the International Energy Agency said China had surpassed the United States to become the world’s biggest energy consumer. Copper producer Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. said July 21 that global copper demand was robust despite the bumpy economic recovery. The company was planning to restart some operations stopped during the recession. The copper market was strong in northern Europe, China and in the United States, said CEO Richard Adkerson.

Buckingham Properties: ‘I Did It Because I Was Curious’ By Laurie Mercer

CEG CORRESPONDENT

The best part of his long-term career as a seminal developer in Rochester’s resurgence, said Larry Glazer, CEO and managing partner of Buckingham Properties, is flying his TB-850 single-engine turbo prop. “When I want to get away, that’s what I do,” he said. “I love to fly it.” Glazer’s been a pilot for 25 years. Other projects located in Lakeland, Fla., give him plenty of reasons to pilot his dreams. In Florida, he just completed his first new, from-the-ground-up Florida building—165,000 sq. ft. of space. Although he is recognized for his adaptive use projects in Rochester, he said, in Florida “everything is new.” In Florida the company’s attention is on developing flex office parks for distribution and hospitality. Buckingham, named for his first real estate purchase, is always involved in approximately 40 different locations. Some ideas, like the old Genesee Hospital, are in long-term development phases while others are just breaking ground. A crew of 48 people comprises the company. “We have our own creative, design, finance, marketing and management people. Although we are a general contractor, the actual shovel in the ground stage is subbed out.” Small jobs connected to property maintenance are handled internally. It isn’t surprising that he loves bonsai — the ancient Oriental, time-consuming art of sculpting, through judicious pruning, a miniature aesthetically pleasing form from a tiny tree. Like development, bonsai takes time, but the results can be spectacular. Along with his partner, Harold Samloff, who retired in 2001, Glazer’s first purchase of a modest home (located on Buckingham Street) with rental apartments occurred when he was only 22 years old. “I did it because I was curious,” he said. “I didn’t know anything about real estate, but I played tennis with a group of guys at

Sutherland High School on Sunday mornings. Another player, Samloff, an attorney, had a partner who wanted out, so he asked me if I wanted to be in real estate.” Devoting lots of time during “lunch, evenings and weekends,” real estate became a second job for

End Even Kodak founder George Eastman’s mansion is nearby. Built 110 years ago, Genesee Hospital had fallen on hard times and had been vacant for several years when Buckingham Properties bought the hospital and

Larry Glazer, CEO, Buckingham Properties LLC, at his office on South Washington Street in Rochester, points to the 1.1 million sq. ft. project — Alexander Park. The full campus view of Alexander Park shows existing buildings, now occupied with a large medical insurance company provider and several physicians, the planned new medical buildings, and the future mixed-use development. The 15-acre site should be completely occupied by 2012.

Glazer in addition to running a large commercial printing company for his wife’s family business called Great Lakes Press. He had earned a master’s degree in finance in 1969 from Columbia University. From residential housing with apartment units the partners almost immediately branched out into acquiring several single-use industrial complexes and redeveloping them into multiple mixed-use properties. Old Rochester companies including Burroughs Corporation, Gleason Works and General Railway Signal morphed into lofts, homes, offices and restaurants for Rochester’s more trendy urban dwellers. When he finally left the printing industry in 1983, following the sale of Great Lakes Press, Glazer turned to development full time.

region. Holdings include industrial, office, medical office, retail, residential, mixed use/flex space and prime vacant land positioned for new-build ideas and opportunities. The Old Genesee Hospital Becomes Alexander Park The $80 million Alexander Park, formerly Genesee Hospital, is a good case in point for Glazer’s work ethic, vision and business acumen. The 15-acre Alexander Park project encompasses 1.1 million sq. ft., making it the largest Buckingham Properties has undertaken to date. If the old real estate adage about location, location, location is true, this property is a gemstone. Well trafficked, Alexander Park connects the welldefined neighborhoods of the city’s South Wedge with the popular East

acreage attached to it for $6.6 million. “But that excludes the $10 million we had to put into it just to stabilize the place, abate the asbestos, and untangle what I used to call the spaghetti factory of facilities,” Glazer said. “Everything had to be untangled, sorted out, and taken apart before we could put it all back together again.” The plans on which the development was predicated provided by the former hospital’s owners turned out to be hopelessly inaccurate. “We spent way more than the purchase price just to do that part of it,” he said. “Abatement proved to be a much bigger issue than we ever anticipated,” he added. “This was a major surprise. It’s been a real

nightmare. We had a report that the hospital had supplied so we were able to cost it out. But their contractors had missed an awful lot. We were stuck doing the work, and that proved to be a big problem. Then we had to bring all of the utilities — water, sewer, electric, gas, heat and cooling — over to another side of the building.” The full campus view drawings for Alexander Park give Glazer a chance to point to the already occupied parts of the project — the 220 Building — where MVP (formerly Preferred Care) has offices. The 140,000-sq.-ft. building on Alexander Street was gutted and rebuilt and leased by MVP. “They are a growing company,” he said, “And looking for even more space from Buckingham.” Next the team had to acquire and demolish properties on the corner of Alexander Street and Monroe Avenue. The former Raj Mahal restaurant, closed in 2007, proved to be a hard nut to crack. “I think we paid more for that piece of land than anything sold in Rochester because they realized we needed that property. The owner wanted to retire off of it — and he did,” said Glazer. Buckingham also acquired a large indoor parking garage, which they rebuilt to add improved lighting, security, heat, and cleanliness. The second phase, begun in late May 2009, is the construction of a Canandaigua National Bank branch, and ground-breaking for two multi-story medical and office complexes is set to follow suit. An 80,000-sq.-ft., three-story building on the northeast corner of Alexander and Monroe and an adjoining 100,000-sq. ft., fourstory building on Monroe are scheduled for completion in August 2010. A two-story, 20,000-sq.-ft. office building on the north side of the four-story building also has an August 2010 completion date. With full occupancy expected in 2012, Glazer said, “It’s been moving along pretty fast.” Glazer said that medical buildings are unusual in that they require more capacity for plumbing (all that hand washing) and cabinets for storage.

Use of ‘Phase’ Construction Lessens OSHA Issues New Disruptions, Delays on Bridge Project Rule Addressing Cranes, Derricks BRIDGE from page 1

complete in October 2010. Francis J. Palo Inc. of Clarion, Pa., is heading up the operation with bridgework and drainage. Palo has recently been involved in other Jefferson County projects, including Hamilton Bridge, Sandy Lick Point Bridge and Fordham Bridge. “We’re using phase construction on this project,” said PennDOT Project Manager Richard Polenik. “This basically means that crews will be tearing down half of the bridge while traffic has been diverted into a single lane where temporary girders have been put into place.” This method is used to ensure traffic flow with minimal delays. Also noteworthy is the structure’s integral abutment design feature. “This abutment construction involves predrilling holes within the abutment “footprint” and placing H-piles in the holes backfilling with sand, then driving the piles to refusal,” said The Manitowoc crane teams up with a Bid-Well 3600 paver for Polenik. “The piles tops are then casted into an pouring the bridge deck. abutment cap of concrete prior to girder placement. The advantage of the integral abutment design allows the expansion joint to be located off of the structure and prohibit potential deterioration of substructure elements through leaking joints.” The work zone begins approximately 1,600 ft. (487.7 m) south of the SR 119/Mahoning Shadow Trail intersection northward to approximately the SR 119/SR 36 intersection. The project will maintain one lane of traffic over the bridge during construction through the use of temporary traffic signals at each end, provided by Dixon Electric Inc. of Claysburg, Pa. Additional Pennsylvania subcontractors include the Cuddy location of Howard Concrete Pumping Company for placement of the bridge deck; New Enterprise Stone and Lime Inc., based in New Enterprise, for paving; Clark Traffic Herbert F. Darling Foreman, August Gallagher (L), Control Inc. of Homer City; and Green Acres Contracting, works with Palo team members to install pilings. Sand is being poured into the pre-drilled 10-ft. (3 m) holes. headquartered in Scottdale, for guide rails and seeding. Herbert F. Darling of Williamsville, N.Y., was contracted for piling installation. Crews are bringing in 1,500 to 2,000 cu. yds. (1,146.8 to 1,529 cu m) of dirt to build an access road for construction of the bridge. The material will later be taken out and reused in the construction of an access road for a local Little League field, as per the request of the community. The deck and structure of the bridge call for 1,044 cu. yds. (798.2 cu m) of concrete. Crews will be laying approximately 10,000 sq. yds. (8,361.3 sq m) of bituminous wearing course. The contractors are working 10-hour shifts with no overnights and infrequent weekend work. On June 22, the northbound lane was completed and traffic was switched over so that work could begin on the southbound side. Motorists are asked to slow downs and exercise caution when traveling through the work zone. Flag crews are directing traffic as needed.

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration today announced that it is issuing a new rule addressing the use of cranes and derricks in construction, which will replace a decades-old standard. Approximately 267,000 construction, crane rental and crane certification establishments employing about 4.8 million workers will be affected by the rule published today. “The significant number of fatalities associated with the use of cranes in construction led the Labor Department to undertake this rulemaking,” said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. “After years of extensive research, consultation and negotiation with industry experts, this long overdue rule will address the leading causes of fatalities related to cranes and derricks, including electrocution, boom collapse and overturning.” The previous rule, which dated back to 1971, was based on 40-year-old standards. Stakeholders from the construction industry recognized the need to update the safety requirements, methods and practices for cranes and derricks, and to incorporate technological advances in order to provide improved protection for those who work on and around cranes and derricks. “The rule addresses critically important provisions for crane operator certification, and crane inspection, set-up and disassembly,” said Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA Dr. David Michaels. “Compliance with the rule will prevent needless worker injuries and death, and provide protection for the public and property owners.” The new rule is designed to prevent the leading causes of fatalities, including electrocution, crushed-by/struck-by hazards during assembly/disassembly, collapse and overturn. It also sets requirements for ground conditions and crane operator assessment. In addition, the rule addresses tower crane hazards, addresses the use of synthetic slings for assembly/disassembly work, and clarifies the scope of the regulation by providing both a functional description and a list of examples for the equipment that is covered. In 2003, the secretary of labor appointed 23 experienced Cranes and Derricks Advisory Committee members representing manufacturers and trade associations, who met 11 times until a consensus on the regulatory text was reached in July 2004. The proposed rule was published Oct. 9, 2008, and the public was invited to submit comments until Jan. 22, 2009. Public hearings were held in March 2009, and the public comment period on those proceedings closed in June 2009. OSHA staff incorporated input from the public comments and testimony to develop the final regulatory text. The new rule will take effect on Nov. 8, 2010.

Mass. Business Shares Its Recipe for Rental Success Craig Sessions, owner of West County Equipment Rentals, said letting the machine do the talking is half of his recipe for success. “Securing high visibility parking spots for our machines, so people can see them, touch them and get really tempted to rent them,” are key factors according to Sessions. From the start, he put to work his concept of using the machines as 3D billboards, parking them in a visible spot with clear “Rent Me” decals. The other half, though, is a bit more difficult. “Give nothing but top-notch service,” he explained. Giving top-notch service means a few key things to Sessions. One of them is being open seven days a week. Another is always answering the phone — after the fourth ring, all calls go directly to Session’s cell phone. And the list goes on to include, for example, taking the time to really listen to people and understand what they are trying to achieve, not just rushing to close the deal by renting them whatever they think they should rent. “I do whatever it takes to get the rental,” he said, explaining that it may take him two hours to extract from somebody enough information to understand that what they really should be renting was not the piece of equipment they were inquiring about, but a different one. Selling or trading anything with more than 2,000 hours, and washing and greasing every piece of equipment when it’s returned also is part of it, according to Sessions, so West County rental customers only get “shiny, new-looking machines.” Besides the fact that a clean piece of equipment says “rent me” in a louder voice than a shabby, dirty looking one, there’s another advantage to being fanatical about renting only like-new, shiny machines, according to Sessions. “They respect it,” he explained, adding that customers take much better care of a well maintained piece of equipment. West County also doesn’t believe in raising its prices unnecessarily and works to be fair on its delivery charges, and to deliver in a timely fashion.

More than 125 attachments enable West County to meet just about any job, regardless of the time of year.

“We charge the same now that we used to charge in 2005,” said Sessions, adding, “Why would I increase the rates if it’s working well for (L-R): Three generations of the Sessions family — Norman, Tyler and Craig — are the driving force behind West County everyone?” Equipment Rentals. According to Sessions, the answer to the typical customer question, “When can you guys deliver?” is simply, “When do you need it?” The only caveat? The neighbors. “We always ask the customer about that, to make sure Rowell gives a Cat mini-excavawe don’t end up creating trou- Donnie tor a top-to-bottom cleaning. ble,” said Sessions, who added that his father has been known to drop off a machine at a customer’s site at 4 a.m. “to make sure it was there with plenty of time, because he said he needed it at 6.” And last but certainly not least — at West County, topnotch service means top-notch The newest location, in Palmer, Mass., has a spacious showmaintenance.

Astro Crane Gives Big Lift to Route 111 Bridge Project By Jay Adams

CEG CORRESPONDENT

High above the New Hampshire roads, in the shadow of Canobee Lake Park, two cranes and a dozen men coupled big steel beams into place. Those huge steel beams for the bridge were set by S & W Construction, a steel erecting company in Concord, N.H., and lifted up by cranes supplied by Astro Crane Company of Stow, Mass., subcontractors working under the guidance of Middlesex Corporation, the project’s general contractor, based in Littleton, Mass. The new bridge is part of the construction of a new I93 northbound roadway in the area of Exit 3 on the new highway alignment. Middlesex is overseeing the $25 million project, which is scheduled for completion by the end of September 2010.

Astro Crane has kept two all-terrain, truck-mounted Liebherr hydraulic cranes, models LTM 1160 and LTM 1220, on the project.

Working Partners Mike Wright of Astro Crane is the project manager for his company and the crane operator on the Route 111 bridge. It is his job to hoist the steel beams for S & W to put in place. The second operator on the job is Steve Piso. “It’s a big bridge going over Route 111,” said Wright, who also is one of the sons of Astro Crane coowner Marty Wright. “I’ve been running a crane for 14 years now, and this is a pretty interesting job. “There is some big steel being used,” he added. “It’s a good job for us. We’ve kept two cranes on site, two Liebherr cranes. They are all-terrain, truck-mounted, hydraulic cranes. The two models are LTM 1160 and Astro Crane holds the beams up while S & W connects LTM 1220. They are great to them. hoist steel. Each crane picks up one beam length. We hold them up while kg). “The beams are 97 inches tall, just over 8 S & W connects them and puts in the splice, where the two beams connect, then, they put feet high,” said Wright. “The largest ones we did were 116 feet long. The span, the total in all the bolts,” said Wright. A total of 32 beams make up the bridge, length of the bridge, is just under 400 feet.” He added that working with S & W is as the heaviest weighing 59,000 lbs. (26,761

smooth as the steel beams themselves. “S & W really know what they are doing. You have to know a lot to bolt together those big beams. To get the diaphragms [connections between beams] all connected to get everything bolted up, you have to work well.” The companies’ work schedule requires them to lift and secure two beams per crane each night. “The first 16 beams were on Route 111. That was four nights, probably 10 to 12 hours a night,” said Wright. “It was eight days total, two beams a night, an average of 10 hours per day.”

Ambitious Planning According to the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT), the 20-mi. (32 km) widening of I-93 between Exits 1 and 5, from the Massachusetts state line to Manchester, N.H., may be its most ambitious road project to date. The overall goal is to make this busy highway corridor safer and to improve traffic mobility. NHDOT literature states that Interstate 93 is one of New Hampshire’s principal see BRIDGE page 46

Workers Complete Mining for New York City Subway Extension Tunnel By Marc Beja

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

NEW YORK (AP) Workers burrowing through bedrock completed mining July 15 on a new New York City subway tunnel that officials hope will help revive business on the West side of the city. City and transit officials looked on as workers used a massive tunnel boring machine to slice through a wall of rock 40 ft. (12 m) underground, connecting the new tunnel to the end of and older one. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said extending the subway line will encourage growth in the city’s far West side. “It will revitalize that area of the city with new business and residences and parks and open spaces and most importantly, particularly now, jobs,” Bloomberg said. The city spent $2.1 billion dollars on the project. The subway now ends at 42nd

Street and Seventh Avenue and is being extended to go to 34th Street and 11th Avenue near the site of a 26acre property along the city’s Hudson waterfront. Plans for the subway extension originally planned for a second subway stop at 41st Street and 10th Avenue, but it was postponed because the cost of the project was getting too high. Bloomberg said he wants the state and federal governments to pay for the additional subway station. Bloomberg has tried to develop the area for years. In 2004, he proposed a cluster of skyscraper commercial buildings near the Hudson River and an adjacent 75,000-seat stadium that could have been used for the New York Jets and for the 2012 Olympics if the city won its bid to host the event, which it did not. Although the stadium has been scrapped, the development is progressing. But on July 15, Bloomberg was happy the subway station is on sched-

ule to open near the property, called Hudson Yards, in 2013. “This is the gold coast of New York,” he said. “This is the one great place in Manhattan that hasn’t been developed.” Just after 4 p.m. on July 15, the ground shook and the tunnel boring machine rumbled louder and louder as rocks fell to the floor of the chamber under the Port Authority bus terminal. After a few minutes, dust filled the air and the rest of the rocks fell as the machine’s blades spun in a circular motion, leaving a 22-ft. (6.7 m)-wide round hole. Once it was complete, construction workers cheered as their co-workers crawled through a small opening at the bottom into the tunnel. “It’s amazing. This is the first tunnel I’ve worked on that I’ve been able to see after it was done,” said Mark Litz, a shift engineer from Bellwood, Pa., after he crawled through the boring machine. “I’m glad to get this done.”

Construction Employment Edges Down in July, Spending Up in June Non-farm payroll employment fell by 131,000, seasonally adjusted, in July, “reflecting the departure of 143,000 temporary Census 2010 workers from federal government payrolls,” the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported on Aug. 6. Total private-sector employment rose by 71,000. “Thus far this year, private sector employment has increased by 630,000, with about two-thirds of the gain occurring in March and April,” BLS stated. The job loss in June was revised to 221,000 from the initial estimate of 125,000. The unemployment rate in July was 9.7 percent, not seasonally adjusted (9.5 percent, seasonally adjusted, matching the June rate). Construction employment dropped by 11,000, seasonally adjusted, to 5,573,000, a 14-year low. BLS said, “10,000 construction workers were off payrolls due to strike activity,” which has now ended. Construction job losses have moderated: the decrease from July 2009 to July 2010, 6.3 percent or 376,000 jobs, was only about one-third as large as a year ago. Among the five BLS construction categories, residential building contractors had the most severe losses, minus 1.7 percent for the month and minus 8.9 percent over 12 months; followed by residential specialty trades, minus 0.5 percent and minus 4.3 percent; nonresidential building, minus 0.3 percent and minus 5.4 percent; heavy and civil engineering, minus 0.1 percent and minus 3.6 percent; and nonresidential specialty trade contractors, plus 0.4 percent and minus 8.4 percent. The unemployment rate in construction fell to 17.3 percent, unadjusted, in July 2010, from 18.2

percent in July 2009, as the number of unemployed construction workers dropped to 1,528,000 from 1,687,000. Given the drop in employment over that span, the decrease in unemployment reflects workers who have left construction for other industries or have stopped looking for work in the past 12 months, not net hiring. Average hourly earnings in construction rose 4 cents in July to $25.19, seasonally adjusted, and 33 cents (1.3 percent) compared with July 2009. Architectural and engineering services employment, a harbinger of future demand for construction, edged up by 0.1 percent in July but fell 2.6 percent over 12 months. Construction spending in June totaled $836 billion at a seasonally adjusted annual rate, up 0.1 percent from the total for May but down 7.9 percent from June 2009, the Census Bureau reported on Aug. 2. The May figure was revised down by $7 billion after the American Wind Energy Association reported lower investment in wind turbines. The monthly increase was limited to public construction, up 1.5 percent for the month and down 4.1 percent over 12 months. Public construction spending has increased in four of the past five months, possibly indicating a pickup in federal stimulus funding. Of the 13 public segments Census presents in its press release, 12 showed gains for the month, including highway and street construction (0.1 percent in June and 1.7 percent over 12 months). The only falling public category was educational construction (minus 3.2 percent and minus 22 percent). In contrast, private nonresidential spending dropped 0.5 percent and 24 percent, with all

11 segments showing year-to-year decreases. Results for the month were mixed: among the five biggest segments, power construction had the largest monthly gain (3.1 percent, minus 8.9 percent); the next largest were manufacturing (minus 4.2 percent, minus 33 percent); commercial — retail, wholesale and farm (minus 1.9 percent, minus 24 percent); health care (0.4 percent, minus 16 percent); and office (minus 1.1 percent, minus 38 percent). Private residential spending slipped 0.8 percent in June but climbed 12 percent from a year earlier. Of the three private residential segments, the largest was improvements — additions and major renovations to existing single- and multi-unit housing (minus 1.0 percent, 17 percent), followed by new singlefamily (minus 0.7 percent, 26 percent) and multi-family (0.3 percent, minus 52 percent). Despite the plunge in public school construction reported by Census, other sources suggest stimulus funding may help school construction. The National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities lists 12 stimulus-spending programs administered by a variety of agencies and five tax provisions that universities, schools and daycare centers may qualify for. By NCEF’s count, the list of Build America Bonds posted by Bond Buyer includes at least $12.6 billion issued by school districts and $4 billion by higher education agencies, plus an unknown number of state and local governments that may be using bond proceeds for school projects. Bond Buyer also has a list (credited to Thomson Reuters) of more than 100 Qualified School Construction

Bonds issued to date. New orders for U.S.-manufactured goods (excluding semiconductor manufacturing) fell 1.2 percent in June, seasonally adjusted, following a revised drop of 1.8 percent in May, Census reported on Aug. 3. Orders were 15 percent higher in the first six months of 2010 than in January-June 2009. Orders for construction materials and supplies slipped 0.1 percent in June but rose 7.2 percent year-to-date. Orders for construction machinery, typically a volatile series, fell 23 percent for the month but doubled year-to-date. BLS on July 22 issued occupational pay comparisons among 79 metro areas for 2009. These “pay relatives control for differences among areas in occupational composition as well as establishment and occupational characteristics….to isolate the geographic effect on wages. To illustrate the importance of controlling for these effects, consider the following example. The average pay for construction and extraction workers in the Chicago-Naperville-Michigan City, Illinois-Indiana-Wisconsin metropolitan area in 2009 was $32.15,” 53 percent higher than the $20.98 average for the nation. “Controlling for differences in occupational composition, establishment and occupational characteristics, and the payroll reference date in Chicago relative to the nation as a whole, the pay relative for construction and extraction occupations in Chicago is 132.” The lowest pay relative was 67 in Brownsville-Harlingen, Texas. © Kenneth D.

W.Va.’s 2nd Oldest Bridge Being Retired MARTINSBURG, W.Va. (AP) West Virginia’s second oldest bridge is heading for retirement. Built in 1832, the Van Metre Ford bridge in Berkeley County carries Golf Course Road over Opequon Creek east of Martinsburg. The state Division of Highways plans to

replace the one-lane stone-arch bridge with a new three-lane span upstream. Gary R. Klavuhn with the DOH’s District 5 said July 22 that construction on the new bridge is expected to begin next year. Klavuhn said the Van Metre Ford

bridge will be remain open to foot traffic after the new span opens. The state Department of Transportation’s Web site said West Virginia’s oldest bridge is the Elm Grove Stone Arch on U.S. 40 near downtown Wheeling. It was built in 1817.

From the Bleachers Last week’s PGA Championship notwithstanding, the huge Tiger Woods questions remain unanswered: Will he ever again be the Tiger the rest of the golf world both respected and feared? Is Tiger still a threat to break Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 professional major championships? Despite him shooting a final round 77 — his worst final round as a pro — and finishing a ghastly 18 over par in the World Golf Championship, there are those who are convinced that the Woods of old will be back, and sooner than later. And there are those who are absolutely positive that the Golden Bear can relax because the Tiger is toast — at least the one who dominated the PGA Tour for a dozen years is toast. And, because of his marriage infidelities, there are those who wish Woods would buy a rocket ship, move to Mars and never be heard from again. Many of us once wondered if the guy was even human because he was such a machine on the golf course. At age 33 he already had a remarkable career — 71 Tour victories, 14 majors, and a beautiful wife. Then came Thanksgiving weekend 2009, when he not only wrecked his vehicle, but his marriage,

his life and … his golf game. Then it was revealed: Tiger had convinced himself that he really was the Golf God, or at least some other divine being who could do what he wanted when he wanted and with whomever he wanted. The result was his harem — a dozen or so women with whom he had intimate relations. And before you could say, “Better tee up another one, that may be OB,” Tiger’s life, not to mention his golf game, had turned into a triple bogey, which is much more difficult to fix than a slice. And as we have all observed, it still is. Oh, after coming out of his closet back in April, he finished fourth in both the Masters and the U.S. Open but it was obvious something was missing. Now, as he demonstrated in early August, it’s long gone and many members of the media, of course, have raked him up one side and down the other. It was almost as if they were delighted that Woods’ reputation and his golf game were shattered — probably because of his cold demeanor on and off the golf course. My guess is, though, that Tiger’s game is only temporarily long gone. OK, so I’m almost on the bandwagon, or at least chasing it. My guess is,

Tiger will be back — as in, all the way back — but probably not until 2011. My advice: After the PGA Championship, he should hang it up, put the clubs away for a few weeks. Go fishing. Go sailing. Go anywhere but to a golf course. Then come back to the Tour next year a new man, a new Tiger, 180 degrees from the old Tiger. Turn over a whole new tree, not just a leaf. Smile at those who cheer for you despite your previous immoral behavior. High-five ‘em if they reach out to you. Give autographs. Give cordial interviews instead of acting as if you’re strapped in a chair and some guy’s standing over you with a rubber hose. Show the world there’s blood in your veins, not SAE 30, or ice. Warm up to the world that has warmed up to you since you were a teenager. Bottom line, Woods, is that there is more to life than winning golf tournaments, being famous and wealthy — none of which makes you able to walk on water. Who knows, maybe you have finally figured that out by now. Let’s hope so. As far as the intimidating Tiger, who cares if he no longer exists? So what if all these young guns have no fear of going head-to-head with Woods?

The competition makes the Tour more fun to watch. Duels are more interesting than blowouts. Many have predicted that Woods won’t even make the 36-hole cut in the PGA Championship, which he has won four times. And he finished second last year. By the time you read this, though, we will know whether Woods will be around for the weekend or headed back to seclusion. Golf not only needs Tiger, but Tiger also needs golf. But as I said before, he should treat the game like what it is: a game, instead of approaching it as if he were performing brain surgery on his mother. It’s not likely we’ll see a new Woods this year, even if plays in the Ryder Cup because he makes the team or is one of captain Corey Pavin’s four picks. I just hope a new Tiger exists somewhere in his heart and mind and it will make its debut in 2011.

Technical Difficulties Before we get to today’s column, I have an important announcement regarding outsourcing. “Outsourcing” is a business expression that means, in a layperson’s terms, “sourcing out.” It’s a trend that started years ago in manufacturing, which is a business term that means “making things.” You youngsters won’t believe this, but there was a time when Americans actually made physical things called “products” right here in America. Workers would go to large, grimy buildings called “factories” where they would take a raw material such as iron ore and perform industrial acts on it, such as ‘forging” and “smelting.” By the end of the day, as you can imagine, they smelt terrible (rim shot), but they had turned the ore into something useful, such as a locomotive, or a toaster, or (this was not a big seller) a toasterlocomotive. The making of things was outsourced decades ago to foreign nations such as Asia. Today, we Americans are dimly aware that our TVs, computers, cell phones, underwear, dentures, cartoons, etc., must come from SOME-

WHERE, but we have no real clue who is making them, or how. We have enough trouble figuring out how to remove the packaging. After we stopped making things, America became a “service economy,” which is a business term meaning “an economy where it is virtually impossible to get service.” But now even our service industries are being outsourced. Take, for example, “technical support,” which is the department you call when you’re having a technical problem and need to be placed on hold. Today, when you finally get through to a human, he or she is often in a different country. This is good news and bad news: THE GOOD NEWS IS: The foreign tech support people are smart, educated and eager to help, and they speak English. THE BAD NEWS IS: They speak it in such a way that you understand only about every fifth word. I recently had a problem with a computer, so I called technical support, which in the case of this company is located, I believe, on Mars, and although the person on the other end sincerely tried to help, the only word I consistently

understood him saying was “David.” I felt like the dog in the Far Side cartoon who’s getting a stern lecture from his master, but the only thing the dog understands is his own name: TECH SUPPORT GUY: David, wokm todelc strsprot, David. Cnygv meth serilnbr? ME: The serial number? You want the serial number? TECH SUPPORT GUY: Thtsrdy ndimsng, David. Logndr btmmrstit, David? ME: What? TECH SUPPORT GUY: Sit, David. Lie down. But we might as well accept it: Outsourcing is here to stay. And it’s happening EVERYWHERE, including industries that would surprise you: When you order a hamburger at McDonald’s drive-thru, the person who’s taking your order is actually located in the Philippines. Your hamburger is physically cooked by workers in China, then transmitted almost instantaneously to the U.S. via a high-speed digitized beef patty line (DBPL). When you take a commercial airline flight, the plane is actually being controlled from

India by a 10-year-old girl holding a remotecontrol joystick in one hand and a lollipop in the other. The “pilot” in the front of your plane is a retired security guard whose sole responsibility is to notice when the plane starts shaking, and make an announcement that you are experiencing turbulence. When you go to the hospital for surgery, after the anesthesiologist puts you out, your body is… You don’t want to know. Congress recently tried to pass a law against outsourcing, only to discover that all federal legislation since 1997 has actually been produced by Taiwan. So outsourcing is here to stay. Which leads me to my announcement: Starting today, I will no longer personally write my column. It will be produced by foreign humor workers, who, rest assured, are highly trained. You will notice no dropoff in quality as you continue to enjoy the wacky hmogrins of fblsevry lftht hvfrsmnyrs not making this up rltngn alrtrds a good name for a rock band.

‘Stories in Stone’Captures Rhode Island Building Tradition Documentary Highlights 400 Years of Stone Wall Building by Narragansett Tribal Masons “We were a wood and stone people. The tools, utensils and weapons were made from stone. The stone was extremely important.” Narragansett Tribal Genealogist

Ella Sekatau, “Stories in Stone”

By Jay Adams

CEG CORRESPONDENT

They wind around South County, R. I., like exposed roots made of minerals, their colors of the earth, their form as old as time itself. They tell a story. They are a story — the stone walls of this state — built by master craftsmen of the Narragansett tribe, and without high-powered tools, cranes or the like. Filmmaker Marc Levitt, himself a storyteller in many shows, saw the history of a people in their story, as well as art, craft and tradition. He discovered legend. He discovered friendship. He met an Elder who changed his life. Levitt, now 59, a New York City native and Cornell graduate, has been living, on and off, in Wakefield, R.I., for some 32 years. “Stories in Stone,” which chronicles the artistry of two prominent Narragansett mason families, is Levitt’s first documentary film, co-produced and directed with Lilach Dekel of Transformation Films. The film, with original music, pastoral images and no central narrator, introduces us to tribal stonemasons who, over the last 400 years, have constructed the many stone walls which picturesquely serpentine through the woods of southern New England. “Sometimes, for the visionary people there will be a small vision that comes and goes. And, it makes you wonder.” — Ella Sekatau, “Stories in Stone”

Interspersing footage that elegantly captures the beauty of the walls with interviews with tribal Elders and members of two prominent Narragansett mason families, Dekel and Levitt weave a story that is at once poetic and inspirational. According to productionnotes, “Stories in Stones” speaks to place, heritage and family and a tale that demonstrates how a craft, utilized initially at the point of European contact, has served “as a strategy for resiliency and resistance.” It is the first film that looks at the Narragansett wall-building tradition from multiple perspectives, including tribal affirmation. While some would see wall building as the haphazard placement of rocks, “Stories in Stone” demonstrates that the wall’s beauty is the result of a finely honed and everevolving sculptural aesthetic. While some see the walls as “the only option” for the Narragansett, “Stories” makes clear, that more often than not, becoming a mason is a choice that allows freedom of movement, freedom from “inside” work, freedom from working for others and the freedom to join a long and illustrious line of

Many of the masons grew up surrounded by these walls and their artistry and craftsmanship has soaked into their souls since childhood.

ancestors; and that wall building remains a means to assert and perpetuate Tribal identity. “I never felt a stone that was cold. And I never have. On the coldest day, I never felt a stone that was cold.” — Lloyd Wilcox, medicine man, “Stories in Stone” Levitt came to filmmaking from telling stories in a different way. “‘Stories in Stone’was my first and only film,” said Levitt. “When at Cornell University in the 1960s, I was not sure what I wanted to be. After graduation in 1971, I went to The craft dates back more than 400 years and many of the same families who worked as masons hundreds of years ago continue to do so today. Stone wall building eventually became not only a way for Narragansett men to avoid millwork, but also a vehicle for the preservation of Native heritage.

Seattle and San Francisco, where I got a job as a nursery school teacher. Eventually moving to Rhode Island, I co-created and performed in an old-time ‘faux’ medicine show with music, magic and comedy. Later, I discovered storytelling and eventually hosted a radio variety show.” Ever since moving to Rhode Island in 1977, Levitt said he was fascinated with the beauty of its stone walls. see STORIES page 56

Russell Spears was the patriarch of the stone wall tradition. According to filmaker Marc Levitt, he was “a unique man who combined reverence for nature with a great mischievous appreciation for the sensual.”

likes the fact that Kenworth trucks can handle the test of time. On some of our other truck makes, we’ve had problems with door sag, which comes from years of service in an application where drivers get in and out of the trucks all day long. That takes a toll. The Kenworths are designed with a piano-hinge on the door, so that shouldn’t be an issue. The quality of the Kenworth cab is very impressive.” As the city of Birmingham moves forward in its replacement cycle, it plans to rotate vehicles into and out of different quadrants of the city to prolong service life. ”For example, we own two landfills and high-mileage refuse trucks that travel longer distances to the landfill will be rotated out after a few years and replaced with lower mileage ones,” said Roberts. “By managing our trucks and their use, we’ll be more productive and have a better vehicle to auction when it comes time for replacement. And, with these Kenworth T370s, we’re confident we’ll be able to get a higher resale value than with other trucks in our fleet. Kenworths are known for their quality and long life, which makes them more appealing on the used truck market.” For more information, visit www.kenworth.com.

Volvo Prepares to Unveil FMX Truck to Global Market Volvo Trucks is launching the Volvo FMX. Built specifically for heavy construction tasks, this truck will be available on European markets in September, followed by a global rollout during the rest of the year. “We are extremely proud of this truck and can hardly wait to see it at work for our construction customers,” said Staffan Jufors, president and CEO, Volvo Trucks. “With the new Volvo FMX, we are truly breaking new ground for us and our customers’ operations.” Rugged Look for a Rugged Truck The most obvious change with the new, high-clearance Volvo FMX is its robust, modern exterior. The FMX has a new upper grill, aggressive lower front, 3-part steel bumper with .1 in. (3 mm) thick steel corners, rugged skid plate and protective bull bar. For additional functionality, the Volvo FMX also features a powerful tow hook, headlamp mesh protection, new anti-slip steps and a convenient ladder. “A quick glance at this truck and its powerful stance immediately reveals the close connection between Volvo Trucks and our sister-company, Volvo Construction Equipment — among the world leaders in dumpers, excava-

The recently updated construction version of the I-Shift gearbox makes it possible to “rock free” from almost any situation. In addition, a new load sensor sends precise load weight information to I-Shift for an optimal gear sequence and smooth gear start, according to the manufacturer. Massive braking power, 506 hp (375 kW) at 2,300 rpm, is provided by Volvo Engine Brake Plus. ‘The Perfect Construction Truck’ “This is the perfect construction truck — and our customers have largely driven its development,” said Jufors. “With all the improvements in the Volvo FMX, combined with the development of a strong service offering for the construction business, we hope that our existing customers will become even more satisfied. We also have high expectations that this new truck and our unique total offer for the

construction segment will attract many new customers.” New Features on the Volvo FMX • New upper grill, inspired by the FH series, contributes to a modern look. The Volvo iron mark is larger and more visible, while the FMX globe sign makes a bold statement. • New central towing device offers robust and reliable tool for towing or shunting, and can handle up to 27.5 tons (25 t). The lower front has been extended 6.5 in. (165 mm). • New anti-slip cab instep with an optional foldable extension step helps ensure the best possible grip in all weather conditions. • New ladder and grab handle available on the day cab give the driver a quick and convenient overview of the load directly from the door opening. • New load sensor provides weight load information to the recently updated construction version of the I-Shift gearbox for an optimized gear sequence and smooth start. • Rugged construction mirror installation that is better able to withstand external damage and scratching, while the narrow mirror arm helps reduce the blind spot in this area for improved visibility from the driver position. • New, modern headlight design with durable headlight mesh protection that helps prevent stone chipping, without interfering with the optional high-pressure headlight cleaner. • New rugged fog lights set back in the steel corners of the bumper. • New rugged steel bumper in a 3-part design: .1 in. (3 mm) thick steel outer corners, a robust skid plate and a new heavy-duty pull bar that helps protect the vital components behind it. • New anti-slip footstep integrated in the skid plate provides easy and convenient access to the windscreen for cleaning. An extra foldable extension step and/or a front grab handle at the upper grill are optional for even easier access. • Heavy-duty engine protection helps protect vital components. • New rugged steel fuel tanks have been raised for higher clearance. • A new, higher air intake position on the day cab is available as an option that optimizes the quality of the air to the engine, while also improving visibility when reversing. • New preparation kits and mounting options for working lights and reverse lights are available to choose from, making it easier to meet specific requirements. • New robust rubber mats with flanges to keep dirt and mud within the mat area for easy cleaning. • Three new interior trims to choose from: vinyl seats and door panels, textile seats and vinyl door panels or plush seats and door panels. Leather seat is optional. • Three new interior accessories contribute to improved driver comfort: a table with dedicated space for cups and pens, a practical storage box and a paper holder in water resistant fabric.
