Massachusetts Group Takes on Its First ‘Veterans Build’

By Lisa Kashinsky EAGLE TRIBUNE

LAWRENCE, Mass. (AP) Between a triple-decker and a single-family home on Phillips Street a new duplex is rising, each piece of plywood nailed into place by a Merrimack Valley Habitat for Humanity volunteer.

But this isn’t a typical Merrimack Valley Habitat build site. It’s the affiliate’s first “veterans build” — a home built specifically for veterans and their families.

In a project that’s been more than a year in the making, construction is now under way at the 124-126 Phillips St. duplex, with volunteers on site three days a week.

Veterans builds are a popular facet of Habitat for Humanity nationwide, supporting veterans by providing housing and employment opportunities for those who have served. The concept got off the ground locally over the past year, bolstered by interest both from Merrimack Valley Habitat and several local veterans organizations and personnel who came together to bring the build to fruition.

“There was demand, there was support. Personally, I love and respect veterans,” said Randy Larson, executive director of Merrimack Valley Habitat for Humanity, noting that his father was in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Doing a veterans build has “been on our radar for several years,” Larson said.

“This is our first attempt and it won’t be our last; it’s really popular with volunteers and donors and corporate builds, churches and veterans groups, obviously,” he continued.

The Merrimack Valley effort comes on the heels of a com-

pleted veterans build in Worcester, where the MetroWest/Greater Worcester Habitat affiliate renovated an existing building into a home for a Marine Corps veteran, his wife and three sons. That project began in late 2014 and was completed in March, and was officially sold to the family in early April, said Grace Warwick, development coordinator of the MetroWest/Greater Worcester affiliate.

The Greater Plymouth affiliate similarly received veterans build certification in 2014.

Worcester’s veterans build came about as part of “a need to serve our veteran community,” Warwick said, a sentiment echoed in the Merrimack Valley.

In general, Habitat for Humanity focuses on veterans housing needs to ease affordability issues. For instance, according to Habitat, nearly 1 million veterans who own homes are “severely cost burdened,” despite access to help such as VA loans, while more than 1.5 million veterans’ households pay more than 50 percent of their income for housing. Additionally, approximately 1.4 million veterans live in poverty.

To that end, Jaime Melendez, director of Lawrence’s veterans’ services, called Merrimack Valley Habitat’s efforts with the veterans build “uplifting.” Melendez has been involved in the family selection process for the veterans who will ultimately live in the Phillips Street duplex, and praised the local Habitat affiliate for working so closely with veterans organizations throughout the Merrimack Valley.

According to Larson, “it takes three things” to make a Habitat build work: “Land, money and volunteers.”

It was a bit serendipitous how Merrimack Valley Habitat

acquired the Phillips Street property for its veterans build, in a process that can be traced back to 2008.

In June of that year, the city of Lawrence voted to sell the Phillips Street property to the Veterans Northeast Outreach Center Inc. (VNOC), in Haverhill, but the actual transaction didn’t occur until 2015.

“Lawrence had sold this to the Veterans Northeast Outreach Center with the understanding they would build housing for veterans,” said George Koehler, a member of Merrimack Valley Habitat’s board of directors.

That property came into the mix when Koehler and Larson went to a land auction in Haverhill last year where they were “quickly outbid.” On the way out the door, they encountered John Ratka, executive director of VNOC, who said he might have a lot they’d be interested in.

With approval from the city of Lawrence, VNOC sold the land to Merrimack Valley Habitat last October for $6,000.

Throughout the land acquisition process also came the donations. Among them was $100,000 from the Cummings Foundation, a Woburn-based organization founded in 1986

by Bill and Joyce Cummings that, through its annual $100K for 100 program, gives grants to organizations in Middlesex, Essex and Suffolk counties. That funding was announced in May 2015.

Other donors have ranged from the Highland Street Foundation in Newton to the Bank of America Charitable Foundation to Schneider Electric, which has offices in Andover.

While a preliminary groundbreaking had been held for the project during Comcast Cares Day in April 2015, J.W. Watson Jr. Excavating Inc., officially broke ground on the build on Oct. 14.

From there, the foundation was poured and construction began, with volunteer crews starting to frame the house in March. When completed, the Phillips Street duplex will feature three-bed, one-and-a-half bath units on either side.

Larson and those involved with the project hope to have it completed by Veterans Day on Nov. 11, when Gov. Charlie Baker is expected to come to the site for a ceremony, though Building Director Emerson Dahmen said the build could take eight to nine months. Volunteers work on the various Merrimack Valley Habitat build sites on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

While construction is under way, the family selection process for the veterans and families that will own the duplex is winding down. Initially, seven applications were received for the home, and those families have since been narrowed down to three, with selections expected to be finalized later this month.

“Normally we would get 50 to 60 applications for a Habitat house,” Larson said, adding that with the veterans restriction, “we knew there would be fewer.”

Once the families are selected, they’ll begin their “sweat equity” hours on the house, about 250 to 300 hours of work.

But for now, work is being carried about by volunteers including Tom Knight of Hopkinton, a member of the “Thursday crew” that typically volunteers at Merrimack Valley Habitat sites.

“It’s appropriate that deserving veterans families get an opportunity to be part of a Habitat family of others who have had an opportunity to get a hand up,” he said. “That’s a very good thing.”

MassDOT Replaces Structurally Deficient, Aging Bridges MassDOT photo

BRIDGE from page 1

MassDOT’s ongoing program to replace aging highway infrastructure that was built during the building boom of the 1960s. The work area goes from Old County Road in the west near the Lincoln town line to Spring Street in the east, and is close to many high tech and biotech businesses.

“It also abuts the watershed of the Cambridge reservoir, the main water supply for the city of Cambridge,” noted the Web page of the project, which requires that the work respect environmental concerns.

Route 2 is one of the main alternatives to the Massachusetts Turnpike for east-west travel and carries approximately 67,000 vehicles per-day.

“The bridges, built in 1960, are structurally deficient and functionally obsolete, and the vertical clearance for I-95 under the bridges is substandard,” noted the Web page. “The project will address the bridges' current structural deficiencies, upgrade their capacity, meet current seismic criteria, improve safety, see BRIDGE page 16

Construction of the new Route 2 East bridge has begun — a major project milestone Concrete is poured for the center pier columns within the median, which will support the new bridge. In the foreground, concrete for the footing of the west abutment is curing under tarps.

Customers Celebrate Pine Bush’s 60 Year Anniversary

Guests wait their turn to take on the excavator rodeo for a top skills prize of $500. Door prizes and great raffle prizes were given out all day long.

Travis Meckling, 11, of Middletown, N.Y., uses his novice skills to negotiate an excavator course. Pine Bush set up a series of great events for children during its open house in Newington, Conn.

Kristen Kudlic did her family’s company proud, competing in the excavator rodeo. She represented Kudlic Brothers Inc. from Feeding Hills, Mass.

Gorilla Hammers was on display at East PBE’s open house.

Guests gather for a demonstration of Komatsu’s PC210LCi excavator with Intelligent Machine Control (IMC).

Parts of 60 years of Pine Bush employee and management memories were on display as the family shared photographic images from the 1950s on up.

cash prizes, sponsored by the manufacturer, along with heavy iron machine demonstrations throughout the day, featuring Komatsu’s Intelligent Machine Control.

Children also took the controls of a Kubota excavator, as novice operators learned how to manipulate the equipment over a skills course.

The June 18 Newington, Conn., the East Pine Bush event was packed under a perfect summer sky. More than 100 people came to enjoy a feast for the palate, the hands and the eyes.

“A lot of people worked hard to put this together, many

volunteers. We are so happy that all of you came out. We know you have busy schedules and you spent that time with us and it touches my heart,” Holly Bodnar, Pine Bush Equipment’s president told the assemblage as they enjoyed festivities and a noon barbecue that included cheeseburgers, hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches, cole slaw and all the trimmings.

PBE started in 1956 when Edward “Ted” Boniface and his wife, Dorothy “Dot,” took the plunge — into this business.

“When my dad first started this business he was an excavating contractor,” said Bodnar, Ted and Dot’s daughter. “He wanted a shop where he could work on his equipment. He built roads, ponds, foundations.”

When a local Case agricultural dealership on State Route 302 went up for sale, the couple took their chance.

Pine Bush had plenty of heavy iron on display in its yard.

The company grew, expanded to three locations, incorporated, adapted with the times and always with their sights set on superb customer service.

To that end, PBE recently hired Pat Plenzio as team leader in sales. “I wanted to come here because this equipment always interested me,” said Plenzio. “I love the brands they sell here and PBE stands behind everything they sell and that is what I am about — customer service.

“That’s what it is all about today,” he added. “Relating with the customer and getting the job done. We sell high quality equipment, but when they do go down, customers need support and we are there for them. That is what we do best.”

Charlie Nash is in charge of warranties for that equipment.

Nash has been with PBE for 40 years.

“As it is a family-owned company, this is the best company I have ever worked for. They are committed to all of their see ANNIVERSARY page 12
