Edgar A. Browning has lived an eventful life. As a child, he was fascinated with construction equipment, but became a soldier, and later a top cop, who started his own part-time construction business. Then he became an industry author who is now connecting vintage heavy iron construction equipment enthusiasts around the world with a simple click of a mouse. Browning was born and raised in New England, specifically, Woonsocket, R.I., an old FrenchCanadian mill town bisected by the meandering Blackstone River. The river had once provided power for the many textile mills. In August 1955, the city was ravaged by a devastating flood due to heavy rainfall from the remnants of Hurricane Diane. The water treatment plant was compromised by the floodwaters.

Ogunquit Launches $13.5M Projects to Reconstruct Road, Build Bridges AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) A $13.5 million project to reconstruct the primary road in Ogunquit and build two new bridges is getting under way. Maine Department of Transportation officials say construction work in the coastal Southern Maine town will begin early in March. They hope to finish by December 2016. Construction on Route 1 will be put on hold from June

18 through Labor Day so the town can accommodate the thousands of tourists who visit every summer. Temporary bridges will be used to keep traffic moving, allowing workers to continue construction of the new bridges over the Ogunquit and Josias rivers at that time.

Chadwick-BaRoss Brings SDLG to Maine, New Hampshire The newest edition to SDLG’s ever-growing dealer network is Maine and New Hampshire’s Chadwick-BaRoss. The company, which is a division of Strongco, will sell SDLG’s complete lineup of wheel loaders. It also will fully back the machines, providing extensive product support and service. Randy Mace, product manager of the company, said that bringing SDLG to Chadwick-BaRoss will give the company an ideal alternative to higher-priced, premium machines that some customers don’t need or can’t afford. “There’s a whole market out there made up of smaller contractors, municipalities or individuals who would like a quality loader that’s backed by a great warranty, but don’t want to pay for a machine with features they don’t need or want,” he said. “SDLG enables us to have a product to suit their needs, too.” Chadwick-BaRoss is an experienced dealer of construction equipment, with locations in Westbrook, Bangor and Caribou, Maine; Concord, N.H.; and a location in Chelmsford, Mass. Many of its customers work in the snow removal, municipality, residential construction, plumbing and lumber industries, among others. “Customers that only use machines for smaller projects or seasonal work don’t need the features of a premium, more expensive machine,” Mace said. “Some only need secondary machines that won’t be running for many hours each week. Still others may be in the market for used machine. For them we can now offer a quality product that has quality support.” The addition of the company will strengthen SDLG’s

presence in the region and give customers the support that only comes from an experienced dealership. The company stocks a wide range of construction equipment and has a team of well-trained sales and service personnel to back its products, including SDLG. The company also will offer SDLG’s 21st Century Product Support, which uses a central parts location to ship parts to customers and dealers often within 24 hours. Chadwick-BaRoss will sell SDLG’s complete lineup of loaders that includes: the SDLG LG938L, a 2.5 cu. yd. (1.9 cu m) capacity wheel loader; the LG948L, a 3.0 cu. yd. (2.3 cu m) capacity wheel loader; the LG959, 4.0 cu. yd. (3 cu m) capacity wheel loader; and the LG958L, which has the same basic specs as the LG959, but with dry disc brakes rather than wet disc. All four loaders are backed by a 12-month, 1,500-hour warranty. Al Quinn, director of SDLG North America, said Chadwick-BaRoss will be a strong ally in the region and that the company brings skills to SDLG that were earned by years of experience. “In growing SDLG across North America, we are choosing dealer partners that are known for their great service and support to customers,” he said. “Not only is ChadwickBaRoss an excellent company with a well-earned reputation, it is a company made up of experts in which we have full confidence.” For more information, visit www.sdlgna.com.

Browning Prepares to Launch Magazine Called ‘Shovel’ BROWNING from page 1

Browning’s earliest childhood recollection was walking with his family to the National Guard Armory for drinking water. “I was not quite three years old and it was a two-mile trek. Large glass jugs were being filled for residents from military water buffaloes. We walked to the banks of the river by the South Main Street Bridge,” said Browning. “The rushing water was overtopping the double stone arch Edgar A.

Maine Feels Crunch as Fed Highway Funds Diminish By Alanna Durkin ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Maine is among dozens of states that are feeling the crunch as federal highway funding diminishes, hindering its ability to keep up with much-needed infrastructure upgrades and improvements. The amount of money made available to Maine through the Federal Highway Trust Fund fell by about 5 percent, or nearly $10 million, during the five-year period ending in 2013, according to figures compiled by the Associated Press. When adjusted for inflation, the drop reaches more than $26 million in 2013 dollars. Maine has, for the most part, been able to weather increasing financial pressures by prioritizing and borrowing to fund infrastructure projects, officials say. But they’re urging the federal government to pump more money into the state, warning that Maine needs an additional $119 million a year just to keep up with the transportation system’s basic needs. “As a nation, funding our infrastructure just isn’t the priority it used to be,’’ said Maria Fuentes, executive director of the Maine Better Transportation Association, which represents contractors, municipalities and trucking companies and lobbies in Augusta for increased road funding. Figures provided by the Maine Department of Transportation show that the money made available to the department remained relatively flat between 2008 and 2013, but doesn’t include some highway fund money that flows through other state agencies, said Karen Doyle, director of finance and administration of MDOT. Ted Talbot, spokesman of the department, said that in addition to prioritizing its limited resources, the state has been forced to do things like post lower weight limits on more roads and bridges until they can be fixed or replaced. Transportation bond proposals also are no longer earmarked for certain projects, giving the department the flexibility to spend the money on the most pressing needs, Talbot said. “We’re constantly having to innovate, be really creative with the use of our funds and I’m sure if you call any other state they will say the same thing,’’ Talbot said. The department is planning to undertake

nearly 2,000 projects totaling more than $2 billion over the next three years, including 189 miles of highway reconstruction and rehabilitation and 124 bridge construction projects. But officials say the department needs $119 million more each year if it wants to meet the capital goals set by the Legislature in 2011, which it says are “not overreaching’’ but would “address just the basic needs

of the existing system.’’ That includes ensuring that the condition on the state’s most important highways — like the Maine Turnpike and interstate system — is fair or better by 2022. While many states are taking matters into their own hands by examining new taxes, tolls and fees, no such proposals have recently been seriously considered in Maine. Republican Gov. Paul LePage has remained opposed to raising the state’s 30cents-per-gallon gas tax and in 2011 successfully pushed to end automatic inflationpegged increases in the fuel tax, which over the course of its life generated roughly $300 million for the state, Fuentes said. Rep. Andrew McLean, co-chairman of the Transportation Committee, said that it’s clear that the state needs to reform the way it funds its transportation system. He has a bill in this session to form a group to study alternative ways to pay for highway projects, such as a tax on the number of miles traveled or a wholesale tax. “We need to have this conversation,’’ the Democrat from Gorham said. “We can’t just kick the can down the road. That’s what the federal government is doing.’’ (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)
