our safety Performance for 2012 was a record setting year! All operations and geographical areas of GOH greatly improved their safety. By doing so, Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. has achieved its lowest ever yearly injury rate.

We evaluate our safety performance by tracking the total number of injuries occurring over the total hours worked by all associates; this is referred to as an injury incidence rate. An injury is defined by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) as employee work-related fatalities and injury & illnesses which result in loss of consciousness, restriction of work or motion, transfer to another job or medical treatment beyond first aid. The Day Away from Work cases are those injuries that result in one or more days away from work.

In 2011, we ended the year with a Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) of 5.1 and at the end of 2012 the TRIR was 1.7. This reflects almost a 65% improvement in reducing employee injuries for 2012. The Day Away Incidence Rate at the end 2011 was 2.4, and at the end of 2012 the Day Away Rate was 0.2. This is a 90% improvement in day away injuries.

this is an outstanding achievement! With everyone’s demonstrated commitment, we can continue to reduce the amount of employee injuries and maintain that GOH, Inc. is a safe place in which to work.

2012 huge record setting success!

rly A note from Dan …

To extend to all GOH troops a congratulatory message on our 2012 Safety experience. You have all diligently pursued and achieved an enviable record that has moved GOH safety closer to GOAL ZERO. Our goal for the year was to achieve an incident rate of 3 or less. WE ACHIEVED BETTER!! We finished up the year with a rate of 1.6.

WELL DONE!!To highlight some specific accomplishments . . . the GOH people in our Western Construction Region have achieved GOAL ZERO for 2012. ZERO RECORDABLE INCIDENTS! Outstanding accomplishment! Our transportation depart-ment has achieved a significant reduction in the number of DOT recordable accidents from 8 in 2011 to 1 in 2012. Additionally, their OSHA recordables dropped from 20 in-juries to 1.

WELL DONE!!Our attitudes and commitment to creating a safe work en-vironment are showing tangible results. The entire company has been striving hard to bring down our recordable inci-

dents and has done an excellent job overall. As 2013 unfolds we continue to strive toward GOAL ZERO for all of GOH, Inc. GOAL ZERO also applies to our home lives and off-hours activities. Make it a SAFE 2013!

Transportation Funding for 2013As you are aware, transportation funding has been a topic of study by Governor Rendell and now Governor Corbett. Both the PA House and Senate have also stated it will be a priority in 2013. If passed in these first few months of 2013, it would provide greater or enhanced work opportunities for the 3rd and 4th quarters of the year. The needs for our PA roads and bridges are very clear. The major capacity projects that have been stopped for lack of funding are now part of the proposed legislation. We believe it is the goal of the legislature and the Governor to provide a long term solution to our highway issues. Caution, we are not there yet. We encourage YOU to continue talking with your elected officials to insure that early action is taken in 2013. Remember …. “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over,” i.e. when the Governor signs the legislation it will be done. Mean-while – your continued communication with your legislators is imperative.

GOAL ZERO!

The western region team conducts an after action review (AAR) each year. How did we perform with respect to safety, quality, and budget? What did we do well? What can we improve? Then, we set goals for the coming year. We engaged in a spirited dialog during our 2011 AAR regarding what our safety objectives should be for 2012. We experienced 3 OSHA-recordable injuries in the region during 2011. Should we set our goal for 2012 at not more than 2 or 1 OSHA-recordable injuries? That would be a significant improvement, which is quite good. But, is any injury really acceptable? Are zero OSHA-recordable injuries really achievable? An unachievable goal is de-motivating. Kevin Harris adamantly argued for a goal of zero. We all concurred with Kevin and concluded that even one injury was not acceptable. We are excited to report that we have accomplished this goal. Everyone on the team worked hard to ensure that they and their fellow crew members worked safely every day. Anything worth doing was only worth doing if it could be done safely. Every team member can be proud of this accomplishment. Thank you for your efforts to achieve Goal Zero in the western region construction operations.

GOAL ZERO!

One MIllIOn WarM tOnS…looking backGOH, Inc. has surpassed one million tons of Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) “total” production during the 2012 season. Since the first production of WMA at Plant 1 on May 20, 2008 with Gencor Corporation’s foaming system, many highlights have occurred and just a few will be shared in this article.

• October 2008, GOH hosted an open house for PennDOT and others, at the Pleasant Gap asphalt plant. After a plant tour, attendees visited a paving project in College Township where a GOH crew was placing WMA at the Stearns Crossing Housing Development.

• In 2009, the Federal Highway Administration brought their mobile testing lab to Pleasant Gap to test WMA mixes that GOH produced with four different methods/technologies for a District 2 Pilot Project. Also in 2009, with the second Gencor foaming system now in place at the DuBois asphalt plant, over 22,000 tons of WMA was produced then placed by Brad Shaffer’s crew on SR 948 in Elk County.

• In 2010, along with supplying over 32,000 tons of Warm mixes to PennDOT maintenance paving crews and two contract paving projects on SR 6 in Tioga and Bradford Counties, GOH utilized WMA for paving in the Marcellus Shale Gas region. In November alone, GOH placed over 145,000 tons of DOT compliant materials on many roadways in north-central/north-eastern parts of Pennsylvania – some as far as 139 miles from an asphalt plant.

o GOH also purchased two Aqua Black foaming systems from Maxam, bringing the total now to four foaming systems.

• Warm Mix technology along with the needed road repairs in the Marcellus Region, allowed for the 2011 paving season to start on January 10th. Over 585,000 tons of Warm mixes were produced and placed on many roadways. PennDOT District’s 1, 2 and 3 provided many contract opportunities for GOH’s paving crews as well as the gas work. The last day of paving in 2011 was December 30th, making the season 355 days long. GOH also outfitted the remaining four asphalt plants with Maxam systems, allowing for all plants to produce Warm Mix.

• 2012 brought less opportunity for GOH and Warm Mix due to the difficult economic times and a reduced transportation budget. District 1 awarded GOH a contract in Crawford County that required a Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) to be placed with Warm Mix technology. The Grove City plant with their Maxam foaming system produced almost 4,000 tons of SMA for placement by Dave Klabnik’s crew. This was the first application for this particular mix in Pennsylvania. This project, two large Group projects and Marcellus Region paving allowed for GOH to surpass one million tons of Warm Mix production since 2008. The total (as of December 1st) stands at 1,146,152.07 tons.

GOH looks for the continued growth in the use of Warm Mix technologies to be used in paving the highways and byways of not only Pennsylvania, but other states as well. Reduced mixing temperature equates to cost savings for energy in the production of WMA. The use of these technologies also has proven to GOH, Inc. there is higher density of the materials being placed with somewhat less compactive effort, meaning cost benefits in the field as well. Many thanks go to the plant and paving crews for their continued use of this material.

GOH, Inc. has been working with Campus Crest since last summer to secure the contract to provide our services and products to complete the site construction for the The Grove in Toftrees, Centre County. We started work on the project Sales office in August and completed that project within 3 and half weeks. We have been working on the main site since this fall and currently have all the Clearing, Demolition, E&S controls installed and the bulk of the Earthwork complete. Our crews will be working on the utilities over the winter. The schedule will be very aggressive due to a late fall start and a fixed completion date of August 15, 2013.

Campus Crest is a Student Housing Communities company that is Publicly Traded. They have 39 such properties across 18 different states fully constructed or currently under development. They are a vertically integrated Property Development Company with departments that handle land development, construction, real estate management and asset management for rental properties. The vision out of which Campus Crest was built was “to develop the best – fully loaded- student housing properties in the industry.

Campus Crest chose Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. for this project, both for our competitive pricing and our capacity and reputation to deliver quality work and to stay ahead of schedule. We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with one of the premier and highly recognized Student Housing Developers in the USA.

Keystone Real Estate Group and The Apart-ment Store recently broke ground on a new and unique student housing development in State College, fittingly named The Villas. The Villas offer a distinctive blend of facilities and amenities that foster an enhanced residential quality of life, not only in housing quality, but in personal growth and wellness, and an accom-modating social atmosphere as well. Located along Dreibelbis Street in College Township, The Villas is conveniently situated to provide for quick and easy access to the university, groceries and restaurants, and retail and entertainment venues.

The Keystone/Apartment Store team has been offering affordable housing and property management services to residents for over 35 years. Their growth and success are a direct result of their passion and ability to offer quality housing oppor-tunities at a fair price. The Group’s commitment to continually improve its offerings is best illustrated by The Villas, a large capital project that incorporates the many lessons learned in meeting the needs and desires of their customers.

Hawbaker Engineering is proud to have been a part of the Keystone Team in helping the proj-ect become a reality. HE Project Manager Gregg Saunders and his team professionally and proficiently moved the project from concept, through design, to land development approval in very short order. We thank Keystone Real Estate Group for the opportunity assist them, and wish them much success on this and future endeavors.

Back at the Dorms!South Halls, Penn State University Park2013 marks the second year that GOH will be working at South Halls on the Penn State University Park campus. Tom Harris has been heading up this project for Barton Malow, including teammates Agnes Hubler, Brent Simpson, Earl Sunderland, and Tom Hoch. The project began in May 2012 with the blasting and excavation of 5000 cubic yards of rock to place the foundation of a new dormitory, referred to as Building Z. Summer saw the installation and relocation of sanitary and storm sewer as well as water line, chilled water and return. Hawbaker is also excavating for the mechanical contractor McClure and the electrical contractor The Farfield Company. GOH just wrapped up the installation of the steam tunnel, with Stone Valley Construction pouring the concrete for the base, McClure Company installing the steam, condensate and air return lines, Terre Hill pre-casting the tunnel sections, and Marcon Roofing waterproofing the tunnel before backfilling. Building Z is topped out and brick cladding is about to begin. In addition to Building Z which is scheduled to be completed this summer, the project includes the renovation and utility updates to the rest of the South Halls residences along College Avenue. Upcoming work includes the installation of an Underground Detention Facility under an existing parking lot, select demolition, new roof drains for all the buildings, chilled water laterals, and all new flat concrete. We are looking forward to the continued success of this project in the New Year.

With the abundance of gas in the region, GOH continues to seek out alternative fuel systems that utilize this resource, increase potential jobs in the industry, while remaining cost effective and environmentally friendly. Last year we introduced a truck tractor with Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel capability. While the system permits the trac-tor to operate solely on diesel fuel, the 2010 MACK truck primarily operates on a mixed fuel of diesel and CNG. This fall GOH added two 2012 MACK tri-axle dump trucks to its alternate fuel fleet. Dual fuel kits were added to units 7-247 and 7-249 to accept a propane and die-sel fuel mixture. The most obvious addition to this system is two small propane tanks mounted on the chassis. This takes up far less space and adds minimal weight as compared to the CNG tractor. These trucks run on 100% diesel fuel when accelerating or climbing but switch to a mixture of propane and diesel for low to normal power ranges. This permits the engine to take advantage of the additional energy in diesel fuel when power is necessary and run the lower cost propane fuel at other times. While it is too early to determine the feasibility of the alternate fuel systems, we continue to test and are hopeful the propane dual fuel system will have a positive impact in GOH applications.

The SR 6 Section M53 Emergency Pipe Replacement job was bid on November 8th, started on November 12th, and completed November 30th, a week ahead of schedule. SR 6 outside of Mansfield was detoured 10 plus miles to remove and replace a pipe that had separated, creating a situation in which the westbound lane was becoming undercut. A special thanks goes out to Larry Lundy, Evan Mumma, and their crews who sacrificed time during both bear and deer seasons to make this project successful. Numerous compliments were received by GOH from every level of PENNDOT for the professional

work environment and high quality of construction created by these crews during the not favorable season of late fall. Overall, this is another example of GOH’s crews’ ability to overcome and adapt to unique work environments.

The LEEK Hunting and Mountain Preserve is an organization that offers help to wounded veterans with all levels of disabilities thru therapeutic outdoor programs such as hunting and fishing. The entire experience is designed to aid in the mental and physical healing process that our wounded veterans and their families often go through on their road to recovery.

LEEK was founded by brothers Ed and Lew Fisher, along with their wives Kate and Elaine. The LEEK Preserve is located near the town of Oswayo in northern Potter County. It is a 100% volunteer run organization. The organization started out with one building and 140 Acres that the Fishers’ purchased, it now has eight buildings and over 17,000 acres available (offered by individual land owners) for use by the veterans.

Stew Gordnier, Ben Reinke and I attended the LEEK Open House in May 2012. During that visit we witnessed a young man in a wheel chair, who was a double leg amputee, trying to maneuver his chair through the parking lot constructed of loose gravel. To say he struggled was an understatement. At that time I told Ed Fisher that GOH would like to help them out, possibly with some paving. In October, with ownership’s blessing we were able to pave two areas that they use for handicap parking and driveways for the wounded veterans.

The paving was completed by Jim Fors’ crew from the Dubois Region. The crew did an excellent job and I would like to thank and recognize all the crew members for their help – Jim Fors, Brian Snyder, Ronald Newman, John Pyne, and Keenan Crooks. I’d also like to thank Jim Fors for his personal donation of 25 pheasants to the LEEK Preserve, raised by himself and a friend. As part of their Black Powder hunt in October, the wounded veterans were also able to go on a pheasant hunt with the birds from Jim and others purchased by LEEK.

I was able to pay a visit to LEEK during their Black Powder Hunt in October. Of the 8 wounded veterans who were hunting that weekend, 7 of them harvested a deer. There were a lot of happy hunters, friends, family members and volunteers. It was a very humbling experience for me to say the least.I am proud to have been a part of GOH helping such a worthwhile.

GOH, Inc was awarded a contract from A. Martini and Co. in January 2012 to build the new Baker Hughes facility in the Clinton County Industrial Park. GOH was responsible from the subgrade up, to replace geotextile, 2A stone, concrete curbing, asphalt paving and a large quantity of roller compacted concrete (RCC).

The RCC is a known, proven product that has been primarily used in dam construction. RCC is gaining acceptance in high traffic/heavy loads in industrial applications in lieu of using conventional concrete. The RCC was produced by Centre Concrete Company. GOH hauled and placed the RCC on a night shift basis using a paver equipped with a high density screed. Crew leader, Matt Lupton, coordinated the effort with Centre Concrete and Hills Carnes, meeting the project’s compaction criteria and strength requirements. The project was finished in December and turned over to Baker Hughes Co. to support the needs of the gas industry. Many thanks to the following for their efforts in making this a safe, quality, productive project:

• Chris Stein, Project Manager• Gary Hartman, Paving Superintendent• Ken Stewart, Concrete Superintendent• Steve Shuey, Concrete Leader• Ryan Hamer, Concrete Leader• Matt Lupton, Paving Leader• Everyone in the Transportation Operation

SNOW SAFETYAccording to the U.S. Products Safety Commission in 2011, more then 125,000 people received medical treatment for injuries sustained while shoveling or otherwise removing snow manually. In the same year, 18,600 were injured using snow throwers or blowers. Injuries included sprains, strains, particularly backs and shoulders as well as lacerations and finger amputations. For those who do not exercise regularly, there is also the increased risk for a heart attack. Using a snow blower is not as physically taxing as shoveling; however, the rapid, powerful blades of a running snow blower have the potential to severely injure hands or feet.

The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons offers the following recommendations to help you stay safe while clearing snow:

✥ Check with your doctor – Shoveling places high stress on the heart, especially if you do not exercise regularly. Make sure your current health allows for this activity.

✥ Dress appropriately – Light, layered, water-repellent clothing provides both ventilation and insulation.

✥ See what you are shoveling/snow blowing – Make sure your hat or scarf does not block your vision. Expect icy patches and uneven surfaces. Avoid falls by wearing appropriate foot wear with slip resistant soles.

✥ Clear snow early and often – Begin when a light covering of snow is on the ground to avoid trying to clear heavily packed snow.

✥ Pace yourself – Take frequent breaks and replenish fluids to prevent dehydration. If you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or other signs of a heart attack, seek emergency care such as calling 911.

✥ Use a shovel that is comfortable for your height and strength – Do not use a shovel that is too heavy or too long for you. A shovel that “fits” you will prevent too much stooping and improper lifting.

✥ Push the snow instead of lifting it, (as much as you can) – If you must lift, bend and lift with your legs. Do not twist or throw the snow over your shoulder, as this causes undue stress to your back.

✥ Never stick your hands or feet in the snow blower – turn the machine off, wait five seconds and then use a solid object to remove the snow or debris from the chute or blades, beware of potential for blade recoil once an obstruction has been cleared.

✥ Do not leave a snow blower unattended when running – If you must walk away, shut the engine off.

✥ Watch the snow blower cord – If you are using an electric snow blower be aware of where the cord is located so you do not trip and fall.

✥ Add fuel before starting the snow blower – Never add fuel when the engine is running or hot. To avoid becoming overcome with fumes do not operate the machine in an enclosed area.

Read the instruction manual – Prior to using a snow blower, read the instruction manual for specific safety hazards.

YEARS OF SERVICE MILESTONES

Honoring 40 Years of Service – Congratulations to Gary Hartman!

Shortly after graduating from High School, Gary got a call from Hassel Frantz asking him to work with GOH at the K-mart site in State College (where Lowe’s is now located). He worked as a night shift dirt roller operator on that project and the rest, as they say, is history! From there he moved to a paving crew and over the course of the next few years he learned the trades of Grader Operator, Roller Operator, Paver Roller Operator and Screed Op-erator until he became a Paving Foreman in 1983, running crews for small paving jobs and driveways. About this same time he was asked to oversee the Winter Plowing operations. In 1997 he was promoted to Paving Superinten-dent where he found his niche for good! Gary lives out on Scotia road with is wife, Diane. Together they have a daughter, Brandy and 2 sons, Brian and Brad. He loves hunting and Nascar ….. particularly his #1 favorite, Kevin Harvick.

Congratulations to the following employees who have reached a milestone in their years of service with glenn. o. Hawbaker, Inc. from oct. 1 – Dec. 31, 2012

New Requirements for CDl HoldersTransportation Services would like to inform all Commercial Drivers License (CDL) holders’ about a new Federal requirement. As part of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) amended the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to require interstate CDL holders, subject to the physical qualification requirements of the FMCSRs, to provide a current copy of their Medical Examiner’s Certificate to their state licensing agency, PennDOT. GOH Inc. is registered as an interstate motor carrier. PennDOT will be notifying CDL holders through the mail of the requirement to complete a self-certification form indicating the proper category of driver in which you will operate. GOH Inc. employees will fall under the Non-Excepted Interstate category. The penalty for failing to submit the Medical Examiner’s Certificate and/or the Self-Certification form by the deadline is the immediate removal of the commercial driving designation or being downgraded to a class C license. If this were to happen, you will be required to apply for a commercial learner’s permit and complete all required testing prior to being reissued a CDL. The bottom line; watch for your PennDOT letter, fill out the Self-Certification form (checking the box NI), make a copy of your Medial Examiner’s Certificate and return to PennDOT as directed. Any questions can be answered on this web site http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/ or contact GOH Inc. Fleet Compliance Officer - Scott Burkett, in Transportation Services.

Being consistent can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the situation. At our Brokenstraw facility, located outside the Erie, Pa., region, it is a great thing. Over the past nine years, that operation has had five different leaders running the facility while expanding at the same time. One of the main reasons it has had success is the work of Ron Bailey, Homer Condron and kelly VanTassel. These employees have been the model of consistency and have proven that change may occur, but hard work and dedication produce consistent results.

Ron joined the GOH team on April 24, 2004, as a loader operator for the sand and gravel pit. He has progressed through the years from just a loader operator to lab technician, weighmaster, and now is the current plant foreman. Ron is always eager to expand his knowledge in aggregate industry and maintain an aggressive approach on safety and MSHA compliance. Ron enjoys hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family. He lives in Clarendon with his wife Tracey and their 3-year-old Taylor.

Homer joined the GOH team on May 25, 2004, as a plant operator at Brokenstraw and over the years has seen the facility grow from a small portable plant operation to a facility with three crushers and a wash plant. With all the plant changes, the consistency of the finished product was never compromised. Homer enjoys woodworking, restoring antique equipment, and spending time with his family. He lives in Sugar Grove with his three children.

Kelly joined Glen O. Hawbaker on October 5, 2004 as a sales assistant at the Brokenstraw gravel pit. She has since added to her work load, being a PA DOT certified lab technician, banker, and head cook at that operation. Kelly is always expanding her knowledge of the aggregate industry. When you stop by to see her you may have to look in a loader, the shop, or at the plant if you can’t find her in the office. She enjoys hunting, fishing, camping, four wheeling, snowmobiling, just being out doors. Kelly lives in Youngsville, Pa with her husband Leroy.

Brokenstraw is a supplier of gravel products for Penn DOT, local contractors, and the oil and gas industry. Because of the hard work and consistency from dedicated employees like Ron, Homer and Kelly, this facility will continue to lead the region no matter what changes may occur.

We welcomed Senator Toomey to a press conference hosted at our Pleasant Gap Office to discuss potential tax policy changes. As a small business, the proposed tax will decrease our funds available for future growth and expansion. We thank the Senator for his time and for championing a better tax climate for small businesses.

Every week the payroll team processes your time card along with those of over 1,000 other employees, up to 1400 in the height of the construction season. To make sure that everyone is paid correctly and on time, they start entering time first thing Monday morning and work whatever hours it takes to get that done. After all of that entry is completed (approx 21 hours for each of them during the height of construction season), they verify that all of the hours entered match those on the time cards. The next steps are to process overtime and all the other earnings (401k, insurance premiums, etc.), adjustments from prior weeks, and deductions. All of this has to happen between Monday morning and Wednesday morning when a single file must be sent to the bank in order for everyone to be guaranteed their deposits are received on Friday. This process must be completed each week, regardless of the dates; there is no deadline extension for Holidays. But their fun doesn’t end there . . . After they make sure everyone gets paid, they begin processing verifications for unemployment benefits, preparing certified payrolls, fielding calls from internal customers (GOH employees) and external customers (banks, tax offices, etc.). They also print and file a mountain of reports each week. In addition to the weekly routine, there are monthly, quarterly and yearly tasks to be completed. Each season brings new challenges to the Payroll Department, whether it’s new taxes, new regulations from federal, state or local agencies, or a new Unemployment Law. They familiarize themselves and keep on keeping on!!

Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail, nor holiday shall keep the payroll department from processing payroll!!!

Your Payroll team is made up of:

Susan McElfresh, who has been with GOH since 2002, came to GOH with 8 years of construction accounting experience having worked with another local construction company. Susan and her husband, Joe, have been married for over 30 years. They have 2 grown children; their daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter live in Bellefonte and their son currently resides in Palmyra, PA. Susan loves to spend time with her family, bake and read. Having grown up in Baton Rouge, LA, she is an avid LSU sports fan, football being her favorite; she never misses a game!

Maureen Stathes joined GOH in 2006, from an accounting and banking background. Maureen is married to Gus Stathes, also a GOH employee. They have one son and two granddaughters. Maureen is originally from Dublin, Ireland where she returns often to visit family and friends. Maureen enjoys quilting, hiking, bluegrass music, drag racing and travelling. She is training for her first half (hike/run) marathon on March 30th and hopes to complete it within a good time.

It is with great sadness we bid farewell to George E. Logue, Sr., founder and original owner of George E. Logue, Inc., which was the bedrock of what is now the Eastern Region of GOH, Inc.

From his beginnings studying as a machinist at Williamsport Technical Institute, George discovered early on his affinity for innovation. He shared a lifetime of accomplishments with his wife and a family of 10 children, 36 grandchildren and 7 great grand children, a living testament to his lifelong leadership and commitment to hard work. George has one of the largest and most complete collections of antique Caterpillar tractors and equipment in the world, all restored to full operating condition. He is considered one of the world’s leading experts on the history of Caterpillar Machinery and was recently named “Man of the Year” by the Antique Caterpillars Machinery Owners Club and the Historical Construction Equipment Association.

George Logue, Sr. remains with us as an inspiration and will be greatly missed by all those who had the privilege to know him.

We Bid Farewell to an Old Friend ….
