Four servicemen who attended a benefit concert for ThanksUSA at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on Nov. 9, 2009, have different home states, but what they all have in common is they have been undergoing treatment at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. Colonel James G. Hay, Private First Class Michael Cunningham, Sergeant Ryan Lohss and Specialist Jason Poyneer were flown to the event by the Veterans Airlift Command (VAC), a not-forprofit organization providing free air travel to wounded veterans and their families. Coble Trench Safety, based in

(L-R): SPC Jason Poyneer, SGT Ryan Lohss, PFC Mike Cunningham, Col Jim Hay, Debby Coble and Tom Coble at Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, Tenn.

Greensboro, N.C., was one of the travel sponsors for the concert. This was the sixth trip the company has made for the VAC Wounded Warrior program. All costs associated with these flights are covered by aircraft owners in the VAC’s national network, and while the Command is currently concentrating on those who served or still serve in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, it hopes to eventually expand flights to the veterans of other wars. “Coble Trench Safety employees, Debby Coble, and myself were thrilled to assist these wounded warriors for the Veterans Airlift Command ThanksUSA trip to Nashville, Tenn., to raise scholarship funds for our troops’families,” see CONCERT page 28

Officials with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) believe that a large rock slide blocking both directions of Interstate 40 just east of the Tennessee line could take as long as six months to clear The slide happened in the early morning hours of Oct. 25 at mile marker 2.6 in a rugged mountainous area of Haywood County As a result, one of the Southeast’s major thoroughfares is closed from Exit 20 in North Carolina west to Exit 451 in Tennessee, forcing a detour that will take motorists many miles out of their way Several hours after the 200-ft.-wide (60.9 m) landslide occurred, NCDOT had rushed a crew on site to assess the situation and begin a preliminary cleanup.

MDOT Puts Stimulus Funds to Work Resurfacing U.S. 49 By Brenda Ruggiero CEG CORRESPONDENT

The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) is currently supervising the resurfacing of 5.3 mi. (8.5 km) of U.S. 49 in Hattiesburg. The contract for the $8.3 million project was handled by Dunn

Roadbuilders LLC of Laurel under the direction of Pepper Beckman. Work began in July, and the expected completion date was set at Nov. 30. The project was made possible through federal funds as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), also known see MDOT page 62

NEW ORLEANS (AP) The U.S. federal government could be vulnerable to billions of dollars in claims after a judge ruled that the Army Corps of Engineers’ failure to properly maintain a navigation channel led to massive flooding in Hurricane Katrina. U.S. District Judge Stanwood Duval on Nov. 18 awarded seven plaintiffs $720,000, but the government could eventually be forced to pay much more. The ruling should give more than 100,000 other individuals, businesses and government entities a better shot at claiming damages. Duval sided with six residents and one business who argued the Army Corps’ shoddy oversight of the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet led to the flooding of New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward and neighboring St. Bernard Parish. He said, however, the corps couldn’t be held liable for the flooding of eastern New Orleans, where two of the plaintiffs lived. The ruling also is emotionally resonant for south Louisiana. Many in New Orleans have argued that the flooding in the aftermath of

How they pursue this common objective differs in a variety of ways. To produce skilled workers in such fields as carpentry, cement masonry and construction laborer, contractors in the Master Builders’ Association of Western Pennsylvania mostly work through trade unions. It is an association that goes back a long ways: the Master Builders’

Apprenticeships Eye Creating Lifetime Craftspeople A dynamic apprenticeship program will not by itself save the U.S. construction industry from a looming shortage of skilled labor, but it is “one of the pieces of the puzzle” to stabilizing the labor situation, say industry leaders. Unions, contractors and associations operate apprenticeship programs mostly to teach trade skills. However, they also hope the programs will swell the ranks of craftspeople and retain

Rain set off a rock slide at the 17-mi. marker on U.S. 64 in the Ocoee River Gorge in Polk County, Tenn., early one morning in November, blocking the west lane. The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) quickly dispatched mobile maintenance crews to clear it, but when a boulder the size of a truck fell on the east lane, TDOT

brought in a private contractor to break it up with an impact hammer in preparation for removal. A few hours later, TDOT geologist Vanessa Bateman arrived from her Nashville office. Upon hearing a thunderous cracking noise, she ordered workers to move back just before continuous rain precipitated another slide that dropped boulders on the roadway. In a matter of seconds, the scope of the cleanup had been magnified, with the road see TDOT page 18

The Amway Center, which is scheduled to open in fall 2010, will be home to the NBA’s Orlando Magic.

Alison Premo Black said the value of highway, street and bridge construction (from all sources) put in place should reach $90.5 billion in 2010, up from about $83.9 billion this year. Black cautioned, however, that the boost to the market could be temporary. Uncertainty over the reauthorization of the multi-year federal surface transportation bill and future growth of the overall

“This will be one of the most technologically advanced event centers in the world when it opens,” said Robert L.

The center, which also is set to host national events and concerts, will feature a modern mix of metal and glass exterior materials. There will be a 120-ft.(36.5 m) tall glass tower (with features such as 200 LED lights and an observation deck on top) that will serve as a landmark for the downtown area while anchoring the arena to the adjacent I-4

Highway Construction Market Expected to Grow 8 Percent in ’10 Driven by record federal investment in surface transportation, increased spending through the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and continued easing in material prices, the highway construction market is expected to grow eight percent in 2010, according to the American Road & Transportation Builders Association’s (ARTBA) annual economic forecast.

A sports landmark is in the works in downtown Orlando, Fla. The Amway Center, which is scheduled to open in fall 2010, will be home to the NBA’s Orlando Magic and at 875,000 sq. ft. (81,290 sq m) and 8.75 acres (3.5 ha) it will nearly triple the size of the Orlando Magic’s current home arena.

S.C. Firms Working on Fort Jackson Cemetery Expansion By Eric Olson CEG CORRESPONDENT

Heavy construction equipment is currently working its way across the gently rolling sandhills of central South Carolina as part of a project to expand the recently dedicated Fort Jackson National Cemetery. When it first opened last year, the cemetery became one of 125 national burial sites spread over 39 states and Puerto Rico honoring more than 3 million American veterans. The new 585-acre national cemetery is located adjacent to the U.S. Army's sprawling Fort Jackson base just east of Columbia and south of Interstate 20. The cemetery was dedicated last fall by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and, when completed in another 10-15 years, will provide gravesites for about 170,000 veterans. Work began on the initial phase of the $19 million project in May 2008 with a 15-acre early burial area and temporary facilities. Known as Phase 1A, this piece of land began seeing burials and funerals late last year. The work was done by International Public Works LLC, a Charleston, S.C.based construction and engineering firm. The work currently going on at the cemetery is known as Phase 1B and encompasses 74 acres. This phase of the project includes the installation of 4,224 concrete vaults, 5,000 full-casket gravesites, another 5,000 in-ground cremation sites and the construction of a 2,000-niche columbarium. In addition, several buildings and memorials will be erected and extensive landscaping will be put in place. LW Construction of Charleston LLC, a service-disabled, veteranowned small business, is coordinating the current phase. The VA awarded a $10.3 million contract

The cemetery was dedicated last fall by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and, when completed in another 10-15 years, will provide gravesites for about 170,000 veterans. to the firm earlier this summer and work got underway shortly thereafter. LW subcontracted the earthmoving and paving part of the project to another Charleston company, Landmark Construction. Ron Brantley, LW's project supervisor on the Fort Jackson work, said that his outfit was given 540 days to complete the job, meaning that Phase 1B should be done in early 2011. “The site was actually harvested of its timber before we began work, so we just came in and got rid of the stumps and chipped it out,” he explained. “All the chips were then reused and spread around the reforested areas. We are also producing a number of different retention ponds. Later, we will be putting up two main buildings, a maintenance structure and an administration building.” LW will also build a pair of committal service shelters, where gravesite services will be held, as well as the columbarium niches, which, Brantley said, will have marble faces. After that, LW will build several other support buildings, along with a flag assembly area, which Brantley said would be a raised platform with a curved brick wall that will display the emblems of each of the U.S. armed services. Visitors will be able to access it via a set of sidewalks and ramps. “Another main part of our work is the installation of the 4,224 preplaced crypts,” Brantley contin-

ued. “Each is a dual crypt, with spaces for two caskets, one low and one high, and they will be precisely placed and covered with about 21 inches of general fill and topsoil.” Mack Industries, based in Brunswick, Ohio, will manufacture and install the pre-cast crypts,

“So when it rains here you can keep working and you don't have to wait for it to dry out like you do if you were working in the Low Country around Charleston,” Brantley explained. “In fact, I was told that in Phase 1A they never lost any work time due to rain.” Landmark has really been the

“With construction taking place while funerals are happening, there is a learning curve to make sure that you respect the whole process. I think our guys really understand that.” J e re m y B l a c k s t o c k Landmark Construction

Brantley said. In addition, The Greenery, a Charleston landscape firm, will handle the cemetery's large amount of landscaping in Phase 1B. Brantley explained that the soil at Fort Jackson is very sandy and dry, making it easier to work in. With the water table in the Sandhills being about 180 feet down, any rain that falls in the area quickly disappears, he said.

firm to enjoy the benefit of the sandy soil, according to Jeremy Blackstock. The director of Landmark's site work and civil department, Blackstock said that his crews are now busily leveling the slightly hilly area. That type of terrain is perfect, he said, for using heavy equipment that utilizes double-barreled pans. “After we balance the site, we'll dig out an area for the crypts and

get it all prepped for the general contractor,” he added. “LW will put up some buildings and get the vertical construction going before we come back in and do the road construction, some concrete work and some brick pavers, as well as the back filling of the crypts and soil stabilization.” Landmark's portion of the contract is just under $3 million, Blackstock said. For the clearing and grubbing work, Landmark used primarily Caterpillar 315 and 320 excavators, but now that the firm is into moving more dirt at the site, they have brought in a variety of equipment, including John Deere bulldozers and Volvo excavators. A workhorse at the Fort Jackson site will be the Terex TS 14B scraper, according to Joe Johnson, a general superintendent for Landmark. “Over the years as we have run lots of different equipment, like the Terex TS 14B, we have learned what pieces are the real heavy horses that move a lot of dirt and move it well,” he said. “With the Terex, the durability is there, as well as the longevity, and the maintenance is minimum. They move a lot of earth and they move it quick.” In the end, said Blackstock, the most important thing to remember while working at the site of a veteran's cemetery is to show reverence for the solemnity of the place, not always an easy task when operating heavy, noisy machinery. “With construction taking place while funerals are happening, there is a learning curve to make sure that you respect the whole process,” Blackstock said. “I think our guys really understand that.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.cegltd.com.)

After Five Years, USM’s Lott Center Nearly Complete HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) A University of Southern Mississippi building named in honor of former U.S. Sen. Trent Lott is nearly complete after being under construction for five years. “I think in late January, early February, we’ll be ready to give the go-ahead,’’ said Chad Driskell, USM executive assistant to the president for external affairs An electrical system check by engineers and building furnishings are among the items remaining to be completed at the Trent Lott National Center of Excellence for Economic Development and Entrepreneurship. The building will house the Department of Economic and Workforce Development; Center for Logistics, Trade and Transportation; National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security and the

Office of Advancement and USM Foundation offices Construction began in 2004, but moved slowly because of funding shortages. When President Martha Saunders took over in 2007, only the first floor and exterior were completed after three years of construction Driskell said he worked with the state Legislature to get necessary state funding to complete the $28 million building. In 2004, when the project began under then-USM President Shelby Thames, the estimated cost was $22.8 million, a figure that didn’t include architectural design. Higher post-Hurricane Katrina construction costs are among the reasons the final price tag increased, said physical plant director Rusty Postlewate.

Kyle Busch Motorsports Relocates in Mooresville, N.C.

The first building in the South Fork Business Park in Mooresville, N.C., is nearing completion by L.B. Builders Construction Group.

By Brenda Ruggiero CEG CORRESPONDENT

The first building in the South Fork Business Park in Mooresville, N.C., is nearing completion by L.B. Builders Construction Group. The project involves an 85,000 sq. ft. (7,896 sq m) personal race shop for Kyle Busch Motorsports. The structure, which is a steel building package for Nucor Building Systems, originally started at 62,000 sq. ft. (5,759 sq m), and increased from there. When complete, it will include approximately 21,000 sq. ft. (1,950 sq m) of office space. There also will be a fabrication area and a car set-up area. There will be a capacity for 55 to 100 employees. “Everything will be state-of-the-art in the building,” Peterson said. “We are running all the fiber optics for the computers, and LED lighting is going in.” Currently, Kyle Busch Motorsports is located in several different locations. The new site will combine everything into one facility. Construction began in June 2008, and is expected to be complete in late 2009. “We are working on LEED certification,” Peterson said. “This has been a challenge, since it was brought to us halfway through the project. We’re actually going for gold certification.” Another challenge has been rainy weather, which has particularly affected the drilling of 128 geothermal wells, which are each 300 ft. (91.4 m) deep. Each six-inch well contains two one-half-inch diameter pipes. In all, the project will

involve 86 mi. (138 km) of piping underground and under the slab. When complete, approximately 600 gallons of water per minute will move through the building at all times. The geothermal system will result in a 65-to-75- percent savings on electric and gas for the business. In addition, Peterson explained that another challenge was that his group has gone through several major changes to the original design plans per the owner’s request, which resulted

in new plans and approvals. The entire business park project will cover about 120 acres. Phase I, which is complete, involved moving approximately 150,000 cu. yds. (114,683 cu. m) of dirt. Phase II will begin in the spring of 2010. “We are totally equipped to do all the grading and utility work, the whole nine yards,” Peterson explained. “We own see MOORESVILLE page 16

he state of Mexico officially welcomed international auctioneer Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Dec. 8 to the municipality of Polotitlan at the company’s first industrial auction at its new permanent auction site in the Mexican municipality. Municipality President Jesus Jimenez and, on behalf of the state of Mexico, Philippe Sester Bouclier (sub-secretary of industrial development), accompanied company representatives in an official ribboncutting ceremony on the morning of the unreserved industrial auction. The new permanent auction site is one of 39 Ritchie Bros. auction sites around the world. More than 600 construction, mining, transportation and industrial equipment items were sold to the highest bidders at the multi-million dollar public auction, which attracted online and in-person bidder participation from 29 Mexican states, 12 U.S. states, 7 Canadian provinces and 8 other countries. Equipment in the auction was sold to buyers from as far away as Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Italy. “On behalf of Governor Enrique Pena Nieto and the state of Mexico, we feel honored to be part of the grand opening celebrations for the new Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers permanent auction site in Polotitlan,” said Phillipe Sester Bouclier during the ribbon cutting ceremony. “It is very important for us that a company of international stature in the industrial equipment sector like Ritchie Bros. has decided to invest their resources to improve the services that they offer their local and international customers.

After 42 Years With Cowin Equipment Co., Dennis McPoland Set to Retire After more than 42 years of service to Cowin Equipment Co., Senior Vice President and General Sales Manager Dennis McPoland has elected to retire at the end of 2009. “Dennis has been with us for more than 40 years. He was our top sales officer and one of our top corporate officers. He is one of the most important employees in Cowin’s history and certainly is a friend of mine, and to many in the company,” said Jamie Cowin, president, Cowin Equipment Company. “Dennis opened our Mobile office decades ago, when he was working for my father. Since then he became the sales manager for the Mobile, Montgomery and Pensacola branches, and was eventually promoted to senior vice president and general sales manager for all of Cowin’s sales and rental activities. Dennis chose to retire at the end of this year; it was something he planned for well in advance. Everyone at Cowin will miss Dennis and we certainly wish him and his family nothing but the very best for the future” said Cowin. Replacing McPoland is Tim Gann. Early in his career Gann worked as a Cowin sales representative based in Mobile, Ala., and went on to work his way up in the organization. Gann assumed the position of vice president and general sales manager as of Nov 1, 2009. He has been with the

First Response Team of America Delivers Disaster Relief ANGEL from page 1

“When you meet him, you’ll quickly see that his passion is unprecedented,” said Darrin Foulk, vice president of Cleveland Brothers Equipment Co., which has Caterpillar dealerships across Pennsylvania. Foulk speaks from experience. He met Agoglia when the latter entered a Cleveland Brothers branch in Lancaster to buy a piece of equipment. The company executive overheard Agoglia’s story and invited him to dinner. By the time they folded their napkins and pushed away from the table, Agoglia had been offered a Cat skid steer under cost as well as donated cables for his generator and a full complement of spare parts for his mechanical repair truck. Not finished, Foulk rang up two other equipment manufacturers and persuaded them to help out with major pieces of equipment. “These are the unique kinds of people I have been meeting lately,” Agoglia said, reflecting on the $800,000 in equipment received in the last two months. “I can’t explain it. They offer their help with no strings attached and the team keeps responding.” Changing Focus Before Tad Skylar Agoglia was founder of a charitable organization, he was president of a profitable firm called Disaster Recovery Solutions. It basically was a loader and dump truck company specializing in storm debris. The company would show up a month or two after a natural disaster and earn premium dollars clearing streets and carting away the debris of people’s lives. Disaster Recovery’s first disaster was Hurricane Isabel, which struck the East Coast in 2003. The company’s last for-profit cleanup was in 2007. By then, Agoglia had experienced a change of heart. He had come to believe that what these splintered communities really needed was not a clean-up crew pulling in a month after disaster struck. Rather, the storm victims and beleaguered local leaders needed volunteer assistance and they needed it immediately, the kind of help that only an experienced and equipment-ready professional like Agoglia could offer.

Tad Agoglia turned his profitable disaster cleanup business into the non-profit First Response Team of America after sending his equipment to help in Greensburg, Kan., in May 2007 after an E5 tornado virtually destroyed the town.

He acted on this personal revelation in May of 2007 after an E5 tornado virtually destroyed the small Kansas town of Greensburg. To the dismay of his employees, Agoglia ordered his equipment off a profitable job elsewhere and driven to Greensburg. “That was the pivotal moment,” the businessman- turned-activist recalled of his Kansas experience. “I was using my crane to clear a street in Greensburg so firefighters could get to their equipment. I saw that people emerging from basements were given hope when they realized someone had come to help them quickly. At that moment, I decided that no longer am I going to use my equipment to make money. I’m going to help people. And I’ve never looked back.” For the first year and a half, Agoglia funded his altruistic work out of his personal savings before reorganizing the company as a nonprofit. Now — two-and-a-half years and 27 storms later — he heads an emergency recovery

organization called First Response Team of America. His commitment to his charitable work is rooted in conviction that openly guided him through his college years. Agoglia has a master’s degree in theology and was on track to enter a life of ministry when he concluded he was meant to do something else. A disaster relief business was his choice of alternate vocations. At the age of 30, however, he said he “kind of arrived as a small business owner and I realized that I wanted something more than just to make money. When I saw the need in these communities, I decided with my background and capabilities that I could help. There is something very valuable in life in caring for people.” His benefactors in the heavy equipment industry have caught the same vision. Due to their support, First Response’s equipment will be state of the art when Agoglia heads into another year of disasters.

Working With the Best The new equipment is an upgrade of the specialty tools Agoglia developed as a disaster response businessman. His Disaster Recovery Solutions operated oversized tandem truck-trailers with a loader attached to the main unit. The company excelled in efficient removal of debris and cleaned up in more ways than one. The same efficiency on an even bigger scale is a hallmark of his First Response Team. His latest generation of equipment rides on the backs of three new Peterbilt trucks donated by the Knoxville, Tenn., branch of The Pete Store dealer group. A Model 335 Peterbilt truck hauls First Response’s mechanical support equipment and parts. A Model 367 powers a stretchedframe tandem unit with three steerable axles and 120-cu. yd.

ESCO Corporation Receives ‘Excellence in Training’Award On Oct. 29, the Portland Business Journal presented its annual manufacturing awards at the Portland Art Museum, honoring Portland-based manufacturer ESCO Corporation in the “Excellence in Training” category. As Business Journal Publisher Craig Wessel said, the goal of this new program is to “recognize manufacturing companies that continue to drive our region’s economy through innovation and strategic evolution.” The other awards categories were “Product Innovation of the Year” and “Manufacturing Company of the Year” (small, medium and large companies). Other manufacturing awards winners included Benchmade, Eleek, FEI Company, Korvis Automation, Oregon Iron Works, Plas2Fuel, Timber Pro UV, Tinitron, TriQuint Semiconductor and Williams Controls. ESCO Corporation has become increasingly noted for its application of “lean manufacturing” practices that emphasize waste reduction in its operations. According to spokesperson Robert Kenneth, the goal is to increase customer value while continually reducing waste and cost. “Our culture of quality, value and speed — or QVS — drives the elimination of waste in everything we do, from engineering and payroll to the plant floor and loading docks. The result is business practices that create long-term, sustainable economic, environmental and social benefits for our employees, our customers and our neighbors in the communities where ESCO operates.” ESCO’s Organizational Effectiveness team is responsible for development and delivery of countless training initiatives aimed at integrating lean and continuous improvement at

every level of the company. “At ESCO, we live by the philosophy of continuous improvement to deliver quality, value and speed to our customers,” said Elizabeth King, ESCO’s executive director of Organizational Effectiveness. “With that as a vision, our team looks at what stands in the way of us getting there. And it’s those obstacles we go after.” Because ESCO has operations throughout the world, King and her team face special challenges when it comes to implementing uniform practices across all levels of the organization. “We can’t succeed as a global organization if we lack the required expertise at even one of our sites. That’s why we actively support developing expertise throughout the entire company,” King said. According to King, another important aspect of ESCO’s training approach is how indistinguishable it often is from day-to-day operations. “Some people have traditional ways of training — which means you go to a classroom to learn something, pass a test, and often never use what you learned. But it would be hard to distinguish between training and real time work here at ESCO — it’s all the same.” ESCO enjoys a strong reputation as an innovator, with more than 300 product patents highlighting the company’s passion for solving difficult problems. King said she and her Organizational Effectiveness team support this innovative culture “by creating and delivering innovative training and development opportunities.”

“The quality of our work creates an experience for participants that builds personal skills and commitment to ESCO — and also furthers our strategic initiatives.” About winning the “Excellence in Training” category among multiple candidate companies, King said: “Our team is delighted to be awarded with this honor on behalf of all ESCO employees. We couldn’t do what we do without effectively partnering at all levels of the organization — from board room to break room. It’s what makes our work impactful and fun.”

Veterans Airlift Command Flies Wounded Vets to Benefit CONCERT from page 1

company President Tom Coble said. “We were truly honored to be of service to these fine soldiers and amazed at the caliber of each individual. Each soldier was very positive and upbeat about his future, plus several were planning to reenlist into the military.” Hay was wounded several months ago during his second tour in Iraq, having been assigned to the Corp headquarters MNCI (Multi National Corp Iraq) as director of Contracting Oversight. “I had been at Walter Reed Army Medical Center since the 7th of June recovering. This trip was the first opportunity for me to get out of the area and it was a blessing,” Hay said. “I leave Walter Reed in early December to report to a Warrior Transition Battalion in Rock Island, Ill., and then will return home to Minneapolis and finish my treatment at the Veterans Administration hospital in Minneapolis. The Army calls this Warrior home-based care, allowing me to spend the nights and weekend with my wife and two teenage kids, both going to school.” Those undergoing long-term medical treatment often experience boredom, especially once they become ambulatory. Hay touched upon this aspect of recovery when he noted in particular that being transported to the concert allowed him and the younger troops an

opportunity to get away from the everyday tedium of life as a hospital patient. Walter Reed Army Medical Center describes the Warrior Transition program as promoting either a timely return to the military or a transition to civilian status by providing care and case management to those who have suffered wounds in ongoing conflicts. “On the trip down, Tom let me sit up in the co-pilot’s place, as I at one time pursued my license to fly. This was great of him,” Hay recalled. “On the way back Specialist Poyneer became Tom’s co-pilot. He was thrilled to death to sit up front.”

Ricky Skaggs put in a surprise appearance at the ThanksUSA concert in Nashville, Tenn.

Poyneer, a native of New York state, was assigned to A Company 427 BSB of the 27th brigade from that state. “I deployed to Afghanistan on January 17th ‘08 and then got injured on August 4th ‘08,” he said. “I have been here at Walter Reed since November ‘08 and stayed here for recovery for 13 months.” Poyneer went on to observe it is “always great to get out of Walter Reed and actually do something fun,” mentioning in particular his flight back to Washington sitting in the copilot’s seat. He also expressed appreciation to all those involved in the event.

“I think that ThanksUsa is a amazing organization that helps so many soldiers and their families out and doesn’t ask for anything in return,” he said. “I would like to thank them for allowing us to come down and watch the show. I would also like to thank Loews Hotel for donating the beautiful rooms for us and Tom Coble and his wife for their generosity.” Cunningham is from Massachusetts. He is fairly new to the military although his family has a long military tradition. “I joined late, signing my first contract at 33 years old and going in as airborne infantry,” he said. “I was the crazy old man of the com-

pany, nicknamed grandpa, and the oldest in my company serving out in southeast Afghanistan, where I suffered injuries to the left side of my face and neck from a mortar round while I was trying to carry a fellow soldier with my sergeant to a medic. “I have a grandfather who served in the navy in the Pacific during WWII, a great-grandfather who served as a captain during WWI and a great-uncle who served during WWII and the Korean War. He was in the infantry and escaped from the North Koreans, during which time he lost his toes on his right foot due to frostbite. He used to show us every morning during breakfast while putting on his shoes to go to work,” he went on. “The latest I know is he’s about 80 years old and serving as a lieutenant commander for the Coast Guard out in California, chasing drug smugglers from Mexico. Oh yeah, and in between he served as L.A. County sheriff for a little while.” Cunningham described the travel arrangements for the four men as “top notch from beginning to end. “Tom Coble and his son picked up three soldiers and myself personally from Walter Reed to meet their co-workers, then off to the airport. The flight back and forth was fantastic since we got to go in Tom’s personal plane, which he flew himself,” he recalled. “After checking into a fabulous hotel we see CONCERT page 62

IT DID WHAT ?

20 FEET OF SALTWATER FOR TWO WEEKS SURVIVED

Carroll Pons is the director of heavy equipment operations for Plaquemines Parish, LA. After Hurricane Katrina hit, he knew he’d have a tough time getting his equipment working again to help in the clean-up. But he never expected anything like this. The parish’s Doosan excavator had been submerged in 20 feet of saltwater for two weeks. Part of a roof was stuck in the boom. Though he thought it was a goner, it was worth a try. So Pons called M&L Industries, his Doosan dealer for 10 years. They drained 60 gallons of seawater from the engine compartment and did some minor repairs. Four hours later, our excavator roared to life and headed off to help clean up. Talk about durability! Want to see for yourself what a Doosan can do? Tell us you want a free demo.

detachable gooseneck trailer, a second Towmaster trailer and a T-16T drop deck tilt. • A Miller plasma cutter and Big Blue Air Pak welder. “I have to have the best equipment on the market,” Agoglia said of his fleet’s mechanical upgrade. “If something goes down, someone’s life might be depending on it. I can’t show up in a 1984 dump truck. Under these circumstances, if the equipment goes down, it’s not profit being lost, it’s people’s lives. There’s no time to stop and fix unreliable equipment.” All the Right Reasons Neither the Team nor its industry supporters are in it for publicity. Agoglia believes in just showing up and pitching in. Agoglia is, in fact, adamant that the assistance be given communities for the right reason. “If I do the work under the umbrella of a nonprofit, people really know we are not there to make money. They don’t have to worry. We’re only there to help.” He said companies that he’s approached — or that have taken the initiative to contact him — also are in it for the right reason. “All of these companies say, ‘Take this. We don’t want anything in return. We don’t want a photo. We don’t need a billboard. We don’t want names on our trucks. We don’t want anything. Just keep doing what you’re doing.’” “A lot of people want publicity, but Tad just doesn’t work like that. He flies under the radar,” Parkersburg’s Luhring said, looking back on Agoglia’s surprise appearance in the community in late May 2008 after a tornado struck the town. Luhring was Parkersburg’s police chief when the tornado killed seven people and destroyed 220 homes. He met Agoglia after someone told him a big truck was blocking the road and Luhring went to investigate. “Tad told me, ‘I’m here to help. I’ll help in any way I can,’” Luhring recalled. “Well, I’m pretty well versed in construction and I realized we didn’t have a truck like Tad’s. I knew that truck could do things we couldn’t do.” First, Agoglia used the grapple on the truck-mounted loader to gently sift the ruins of Parkersburg’s city hall till they found cemetery rolls that would allow the community to bury its dead. Then he used the loader to dig the graves, working alongside some high school boys. It was a scenario Agoglia never imagined would become part of his life. “I don’t know how to explain this but these are the situations that made me walk away from my for-profit company so easily,” he said.

At least once a year the First Response Team shows up in a community where a fire station has been destroyed along with its equipment, like this one in Greensburg, Kan. Agoglia hopes to add a fire truck to his equipment fleet so firefighters can make it use of it when needed .

Later that year, he stopped back in Parkersburg while on a trip and was persuaded to attend a high school assembly that was happening that afternoon. Luhring said high school students recognized Agoglia after he walked into the assembly area and spontaneously gave him a standing ovation. Luhring, who became city administrator just last month, said the First Response Team’s impact on the community is lasting. “Parkersburg has been labeled the most successful disaster recovery community in the nation. Tad drove that train right after the storm. He made it possible.” Small Team, Big Hearts Agoglia’s entire team consists of five people including himself. Those who came over with him from his for-profit company took a 70-percent pay cut. Tim Wilkowicz became a team member

when Agoglia was converting his company to nonprofit. Wilkowicz, 22, said he has no problem being on the road two or three months at a time — “though my Mom doesn’t like me being away so much” — but he said he is not doing it for adventure. “I think for me it is kind of a feeling that, well, a man is not the man he could be unless he tries to make the world a better place,” the Pennsylvania native said during an interview in early December. “I feel like I am doing something that has lasting value, something that brings satisfaction to other people rather than just to myself.” December can be a storm-less part of the calendar year. Wilkowicz was in Florida when contacted, Agoglia in Washington, D.C., visiting a Red Cross office. Such distance between team members is unusual, but contingency plans are in place for swiftly uniting them with the equipment should dis-

aster occur. For most of the year, team members live together in firehouses or motels. They either are working in a devastated area or preparing to drive to the next one. “How I get there so quickly is that I work with the best meteorologists all over the country, such as the folks from The Weather Channel. When they report there are circular motions in clouds over Kansas and Missouri, for example, we get to the region and pre-position the fleet in harm’s way in order to be within a five- or-10- hour response time,” Agoglia explained. Were he operating as a for-profit company, his team’s anxious waiting for imminent disaster would be decried as unconscionable, but to Agoglia, “Life is precious and must be saved and time is of the essence. Most people die under rubble within 24 hours and its our job to get to the scene quickly to aid the emergency workers. We remove the obstacles and do the heavy lifting so they can do their job and save lives.” Looking to the Future Agoglia’s team responds nationwide — to wildfires in California or hurricanes in North Carolina or any severe storm in between. His main equipment depot is in Knoxville, Tenn., but he hopes within five years to have two other teams in place on both the east and west coasts. Agoglia also is hoping to add a fire truck to his stable of equipment. At least once a year he shows up in a community where a fire station has been destroyed along with its equipment, which he said leaves the firefighters feeling helpless. “They are the real heroes in these situations,” Agoglia said. “I want to have a fire truck available so that when the town is without its own equipment, we have something to offer.” The team is prepared to respond in just about any other way. It has a hovercraft for transportation in flood situations. GPS equipment helps local first responders communicate and bring order to situations and helps victims communicate with distant family members. Off-road motorbikes are standard equipment to help find victims isolated by storms, as are more typical rescue equipment such as the biggest plasma cutter on the market, concrete saws, welders and cameras and sensors to search rubble. “Let’s be realistic, it costs a lot of money to do this,” Agoglia acknowledged. “I am almost out of my personal reserves and the companies that have responded have really set the bar high. I was moved by their generosity. We need more help from other good people who are doing it for the right reason. see ANGEL page 56

J.C. Lee Winning the War on Wear in the Trenches J.C. Lee Construction & Supply, founded in Petrolia, Pa., in 1977 by John Lee Junior and his son, John III, specializes in drainage projects, primarily the installation of cross-pipes and underdrains, for the highway-heavy construction industry. At one time, the crew spent 10 hours welding on its Vermeer T-655 trenching machine’s 4 ft. long by 12.5 in. wide (1.2 by 3.8 m) chain for every 40 hours of application. Weekends included. Then, Joe Pistorius, now the firm’s equipment manager and trencher operator for more than 11 years, discovered Kennametal KenCast pads and bars. “The same set of KenCast pads we installed in 2003 is still on the job — even after almost 1,000 hours of some of the most abrasive cutting we’ve encountered in our history,” said Pistorius. “And, best of all, we strongly feel this set can go another 1,000 hours….with just some routine maintenance involved.” Kennametal KenCast metallurgically bonds cemented tungsten carbide particles, in various sizes, to air-hardened steel. This combines the steel’s practicality with the carbide’s wear resistance and toughness to create enhanced weld-on (by wire or rod) A close-up of KenCast wear pads — protection against even the still on the job after almost 1,000 of heavy-duty, abrasive cutting. most abusive environments. hours J.C. Lee anticipates this same set will In fact, KenCast pads outlast last another 1,000 hours before and are more easily attached replacement is required.

Joe Pistorius (L), equipment manager/trencher operator of J.C. Lee Construction & Supply, has been using the same set of KenCast wear pads to protect the base plates on his Vermeer T-655 chain trencher for more than six years. Randy Dobson, Pistorius’s local Kennametal sales engineer, looks on.

J.C. Lee’s Vermeer T-655 chain trencher, fully equipped with Kennametal T7 teeth, C30HD blocks, and KenCast ultimate wear-fighter pads, makes a 4 ft. (1.2 m) deep cut on a concrete-highway drainage job.

(to trencher base plates and an endless array of mining and construction equipment) versus solidcarbide tiles, AR-type steels, hardfacing materials, and embedded weld overlays, according to the manufacturer. “They simply keep me in the trencher seat, not in the garage doing maintenance,” said Pistorius. But Pistorius didn’t stop at KenCast chain protection. After initial application to shield his base plates from the excessive damage incurred by scraping concrete and cutting rock during road work, he realized that chain life was exceeding that of his bolt heads. “So, I began applying KenCast in a way to deflect material away from our bolts. Now they wear evenly with the plates.” In addition, KenCast pieces keep J.C. Lee’s base plates square and the sides of their tooth-holders safeguarded. Time savings, though, are just one part of the story. “By our estimates, we now save up to $400 per week on downtime. All due to these 272 [eight KenCast pads on each of the chain’s 34 plates] marvelous little wear fighters,” said Pistorius. J.C. Lee also uses Kennametal T7 (1 in. [2.5 cm] shank; 3 in. [7.6 cm] gage) conical teeth and C30H heavy-duty pockets on its 12-year-old T-655 chain trencher that normally is active four 10-hour days per week, performing base-drain work on state highways and some unpaved township roads. “The Kennametal cutting tools are absolutely the best we’ve ever tried. Always reliable, especially in the most difficult operating conditions. Our T-655 machine recently returned from 60,000 ft. of rough trenching — going right up against the edge of existing concrete — during the installation of pavement-base drainage in central Pennsylvania. The 66 Kennametal teeth held up remarkably well,” continued Pistorius.

Joe Pistorius (L) and crew once spent 10 hours on maintenance for every 40 hours of chain operation. KenCast wear pads, as checked here by Randy Dobson, Kennametal sales engineer/representative, put Pistorius back into the trencher seat, not in the welding shop.

Joe Pistorius (R) and Randy Dobson inspect the Vermeer T-655 chain after yet another shift of extremely difficult trenching to install drainage.

J.C. Lee owns a smaller Vermeer T-455 machine, with an offsetting head, as well. It employs 186 KenCast pads (and Kennametal C20 slim-profile blocks) for its underdrain tasks. “And we get the same top-quality wear performance on it as on our T-655. These KenCast bars are always up to the severest challenge. On any machine — on any job,” remarked Pistorius.

Weaver Bailey...

Stringless Trimming Ups Production on Bypass Project The town of Grady, Ark., had to be bypassed in summer 2008 when it didn’t have enough room through its downtown area to accommodate the Highway 65 rebuilding project. The Arkansas Highway Department purchased new right-of-way land for the project and work on the bypass began. The new four-lane roadway, with two lanes in each direction, going northbound and southbound, was created for the project. Weaver Bailey Contractors Inc., based out of El Paso, Ark., was responsible for trimming the subgrade. It brought in its two GOMACO 9500 trimmers for the work. One 9500 ran off stringline, while the other trimmed with the company’s new Topcon Millimeter GPS 3-D machine control system. “We thought it was time to take a step forward with the stringless technology and see what advantages the GPS system on one of our trimmers would have for us,” Jim Jolly, general superintendent of Weaver Bailey, said. “We were very paranoid starting out with it, because we’ve been on string for so many years.” The 9500s are equipped with 16-ft. (4.9 m) trimming heads and they are cutting through a silty sand material. Five different passes were needed to accomplish the trimming for the 60-ft. (18.3 m) wide subgrade. Stringline was set on some of the trimming passes for one of the 9500s. The stringline also served as a check for the stringless system to make sure it was cutting an accurate subgrade. It was a measure taken to combat some of the company’s stringless paranoia. “We had the stringline to come back to and check grade at any given spot,” Jolly said. “Plus, we had a Topcon rover for other spot checks so we knew, without a doubt between the two methods, that we were hitting grade.” With any doubts about the system’s accuracy erased, Weaver Bailey started focusing on production. The 9500 with stringless was averaging 5,000 sq. yd. (4,181 sq m) of trimmed material per day. The 9500 on string averaged around 3,000 sq. yd. (2,508 sq m). “There’s the tendency with the stringline system that the faster you go, the more vibration you pick up in your stringline and sensor wands,” Jolly said. “You don’t have to worry about that when you’re stringless, and you can trim at a higher speed. We can probably trim one-third faster than with stringline and not have any trouble with the grade, if our sub-

grade out front is prepared fairly closely.” Time savings also have to be taken into consideration with the stringless system. Crews aren’t needed to set up all of the stringline on the project. Jolly also mentioned time savings with the 9500 itself, getting off and on stringline for each trimming pass. “The trimmer has to be set up and ready to run for every pass on the stringline … extend the arms out, reset the trimmer, get back on line, that sort of thing,” Jolly explained. “A really experienced crew will probably spend about 30 minutes getting the trimmer ready to go again for another pass. With the stringless, you just pull off the trimmed pass, set

down on the new one and go again. That’s a big time savings for us.” Weaver Bailey has claimed success on their first stringless trimming project and it is already looking forward to another to put the 9500 trimmers to work on. “Our 9500s are really good machines,” Jolly said. “One of them is almost 15 years [old] with 15,000 hours on it and it’s still running [well]. We’re not afraid to work them hard and they never fail to deliver a good product.” This story was reprinted from GOMACO World, Vol. 36, No. 3.

Terex PR330 Multipurpose Mill Features Wide Wheel Stance The Terex PR330 utility mill from Terex Roadbuilding features a wide 18 ft. 4 in. (5.6 m) wheel stance and a low center of gravity for sure-footed operation in the field. The 16-in. (40.6 cm) wide tracks of the PR330T deliver sturdier operation and better traction than other units with 9-in. (22.9 cm) wide tracks, according to the manufacturers. A double parallelogram rear suspension design keeps the tracks level to the grade and evenly distributes the weight when operating on uneven terrain, further enhancing machine stability. The PR330 cold planer features a number of options, so it can be configured to match a wide variety of applications. It is available with either a four track (PR330T) or four wheel (PR330W) drive system to fit the needs of the contractor. The available multiwidth cutter offers milling widths of 24, 36 and 48 in. (61, 91 and 122 cm) to maximize machine utilization. The cutter’s clamp-shell connector design offers fast and simple width changes in about one hour. With four steering modes, the PR330 offers a tight turning radius for enhanced maneuverability when cutting around obstructions. The operator can choose between front only, rear only, front and rear crab or coordinated front and rear (cramp)

The PR330 cold planer is available with either a four track (PR330T) or four wheel (PR330W) drive system to fit the needs of the contractor.

steering, enabling the machine to deliver an inside radius as small as 9 ft. 8 in. (2.9 m). When milling cul-de-sacs, this multipurpose machine delivers a small 14 ft. (4.3 m) righthand or 19 ft. (5.8 m) left-hand turning radius while keeping the rear track inside the cut.

The PR330 features a “center mount” cutter design that positions the full weight of the machine over the rotor, enhancing performance even in the toughest cuts. The subframe parallelogram design delivers a 24-in. elevation to lower and raise the cutter in and out of the cut.

The planer’s standard 40-in. (101.6 cm) diameter drum cuts a 48-in. wide path at depths reaching 12 in. (30.5 cm) for milling and stabilization patchwork. The drum’s 0.5in. (1.3 cm) bullet tooth spacing leaves a smoother surface for motorists than most standard half- and full-lane machines. The cutter’s efficient hydrostatic drive features a built-in relief system, which protects critical drive components from severe damage should the cutter hit an obstruction. The machine features a water system with a high mist type nozzle for cooling of cutter teeth and dust control. Under typical operating conditions, the PR330’s 375 gal (1400 L) water tank delivers uninterrupted service for up to 3.5 hours. The Terex PR330 cold planer is powered by a Tier III and Stage IIIA compliant, 330 hp (245 kW) diesel engine. Similar to larger cold planers in the Terex Roadbuilding line, this multipurpose milling machine includes a standard two-stage conveyor system. Both hydraulically variable, two speed conveyors feature a 24 in. width, while the second stage conveyor swings 55 degree to the left and 35 degree to the right of center for efficient truck loading.

Dynapac Unveils New Pneumatic Rubber Tire Rollers The Dynapac CP224, CP224W and CP274 are equipped with a spacious platform and operator-friendly controls, rotating and sideways sliding seat and steering assembly. The optional comfort cab provides all-round visibility with the added benefit of air conditioning. The new rollers are powered by Tier III compliant engines, which offer reduced emissions as well as low levels of ambient noise due to the use of thermostatically controlled cooling fans. The quality of the finished surface is further enhanced by an ultrasmooth start/stop system when changing direction, according to the manufacturer. The machines incorporate several new features designed to enhance efficiency, serviceability, safety and operator comfort as well as producing enhanced compaction results. A dual-circuit braking system maintains full braking effect even if one circuit is disabled. Like all Dynapac machines, these new rollers are built on a modular basis and share many components and subsystems with other models. This parts

commonality results in areas where cost savings can be made such as servicing and spare parts management. The Dynapac CP224, CP224W and CP274 models have compacting widths ranging from 71 to 91 in. (180 to 231 cm) and maximum operating weights from 23 to 30 ton (20.8 to 27 t). They are ideally suited for a wide variety of finishing, sealing and soil compaction applications using the optimum number of passes due to a highly accurate control system and optional DCA-A compaction analyzer when absolute accuracy is a must. With the optional temperature sensor and Dynapac’s DCA-A analyzer, the new machines can achieve the optimum density and surface texture while providing full statistics and documentation. This system also can play back the rolling pattern and produce a print out of all relevant information, either onto paper or a PDF file for later analysis. The air-on-the run system can even adjust the tire pressure during the compaction process. For more information, visit www.dynapac.com.

Poly Bolt-On TUFPADS Making Impact With Asphalt Pavers BLS Poly Bolt-On TUFPADS track pads have been making an impact on asphalt milling machine users, but the trend is now catching on with asphalt paving machine users. These bolt-on pads can save up to 40 percent on replacement orders by reusing the steel triple grousers and up to 50 percent in labor time when replacing the pads compared to a standard bonded track pad, according to the manufacturer. David Dunn of Caldwell Paving, in Charleston, Tenn., purchased BLS Poly Bolt-On TUFPADS track pads for his Leeboy 8816 asphalt paver in early July 2008. Since then, Dunn told BLS that the machine has been running every day and has been working great.

“With the rubber pads,” Dunn said, “the track would often spin, leading to quicker wear.” “It would have been so much nicer if the machine came set up with PBO grousers so we didn’t have to buy them the first time we changed pads,” Dunn said, referring to the fact that with the BLS Poly Bolt-On system, users do not have to replace the steel triple grouser when replacing the track pad. This can save contractors 30 to 40 percent in replacement costs and save in shipping cost by not having to ship the steel triple grouser shoes after the first purchase, according to BLS. For more information, call 800/307-0299 or visit www.TUFPADS.com.

called the speed-up of the highway work a way to help the state economy and protect jobs. Ankner said much of the money from previous budget years was available because of less-than-expected spending on travel, salaries and a variety of other costs. The federal government will reimburse part of the spending because the money will be used for projects slated to receive federal road dollars in upcoming years, Ankner said. State lawmakers must approve some of the spending in the 2010 legislative session before it can begin. Among the largest projects slated for construction with the money is a $23 million bridge replacement and widening in the Baton Rouge area over the Amite River, $17 million for road work on Interstate 49 in St. Landry Parish and $15 million for Interstate 55 work in Tangipahoa Parish. All the projects were part of a three-year construction plan already approved by state lawmakers and federal officials, Ankner said.

Komatsu Adds PC88MR-8 to Short-Swing Radius Family Komatsu America Corp.’s (KAC) PC88MR-8 mid-sized hydraulic excavator is designed to bring increased production and added operator comfort to contractors in a wide variety of construction, utility, landscaping and other excavating applications. The 8 ton class (8.4 t) unit bridges the gap between “compact” and “construction” sized units. The PC88MR-8 is equipped with KOMTRAX technology, which sends machine operating information to a secure Web site utilizing wireless technology. Real-time data including machine operating hours, machine location and fuel levels are relayed to the web application for customer viewing and analysis. Key features of the new PC88MR-8 include: • Enhanced comfort and ease of operation

larger models. It features the very same cab with viscous isolation mounts and an instrument package with money-saving features like auto-idle, and an “eco” gauge that tells the operator if he’s operating at maximum fuel efficiency. There also are five working modes to match hydraulic power to the job, thereby increasing fuel economy further. It also offers the choice of four track systems; rubber track, two steel grouser systems and the Komatsu Road-Liner track system, ideal for use on multiple surfaces. • Service and Maintenance To simplify maintenance, Komatsu equipped the PC88MR-3 with numerous features. Daily inspections are

enhanced by the incorporation of wide opening compartments to allow access to the engine, cooling system, hydraulic valve settings, air cleaner, coolant and windshield washer bottles. In addition, maintenance intervals, including lubrication, have been extended to 500 hours. • Peace of Mind Every PC88MR-8 is backed by a Komatsu 3 year/3000 hour warranty. It’s also loaded with standard features that enhance job site security like lockable compartments with single key access, travel alarm, neutral engine start system and ROPS protection. For more information, visit www.komatsuamerica.com.

The PC88MR-8 is a member of the short-swing radius family, meaning the operator can focus on the work in front and worry less about rear swing impact in confined areas.

The PC88MR-8 is a member of the short-swing radius family, meaning the operator can focus on the work in front and worry less about rear swing impact in confined areas. It accomplishes these tasks while maintaining its high lifting capacity and stability. The X- frame undercarriage provides strength and helps prevent mud and debris build-up, saving the operator valuable time when cleaning the machine. The all new cab is the same as used on Komatsu’s larger units and features a standard automatic climate control system, pilot-proportional joystick controls with auxiliary hydraulics control on the right joystick and a 7-in. color monitor for easy viewing of machine functions and monitoring systems. Every PC88MR-8 also is equipped with a control pattern change valve so the operator can choose either “backhoe” style or “excavator” style controls to match his personal preference. • Power and Performance The PC88MR-8 gets its power from a Komatsu Tier III, 65 hp (48 kW) diesel engine, which has an increase of 17 percent more power than the prior model PC78MR-6. It also features increased drawbar pull, faster travel speed, 10 percent more arm digging force and a significant improvement in dozer blade travel to enhance grading and backfill operations, according to the manufacturer. The PC88MR-8 has an operating weight of 18,558 lbs. (8,418 kg) and features a maximum digging depth of 15 ft. 2 in. (4.6 m), with a maximum reach of 23 ft. 5 in. (7 m). The standard auxiliary hydraulic system flow of 33 gpm (125 Lpm) can be easily changed from single direction flow to bidirectional flow to provide enhanced hydraulic attachment productivity. • Value The PC88MR-8 is packed with construction excavator features like X-Frame undercarriage, just like Komatsu’s

Industry Giants Donate New Equipment to Good Cause ANGEL from page 32

I believe there are a lot of good people out there. I believe it is going to work.” Greg Arscott, general manager of The Pete Store in Knoxville, said his office decided to assist Agoglia simply because they could. “We have trucks, we can help,” he said, failing to mention that the company also donated use of a building for the First Response Team’s offices and an acre-and-a-half lot to park the equipment. “There’s always a cause out there, but you can’t always see the impact of your help. With the First Response Team, the next relief effort could be in our own backyard.” Arscott believes that other manufacturers and industry leaders will see that Agoglia’s efforts are “legitimate” and “as the economy improves, many of them will come out of the woodwork to support his efforts. I think it’s a tribute to Tad that, in one of the worst economic climates in 70 years, he has gotten the support he has.” One of the donated Peterbilt trucks First Response Team of America arrived unannounced on the scene in Parkersburg, got baptized in November during the Iowa, in May 2008 following a tornado that devastated the town and were received with team’s response to flooding in Virginia. open arms and hailed as heroes.

Agoglia drove it through five feet of saltwater to rescue a woman. He reported the immersion to Arscott. “I said I think we’ll have to change all the fluids in the truck,” he recalled. “You know they might have said, ‘How dare you!’ Instead, they said, ‘Well, so be it. We’ll change all the fluids.’ This is the kind of response that keeps the team going.” Both Agoglia and his backers in the equipment industry are confident that the business model of altruism that Agoglia has conceived can be sustained and expanded. It will require financial donations via the team’s Web site at firstresponseteam.org, plenty of interagency networking and periodic equipment support, but Agoglia’s twoand-a-half years of experience have proven the project’s viability. In fact, Cat has made an offer to match some of the cash donations that Agoglia’s team can raise in 2010. Certainly the 33-year-old Agoglia is a believer in the effort. “I’m still young enough to think everything is possible.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

enjoyed a nice dinner party before the concert. I do want to express my deepest thanks to the Cobles and everyone else that sacrifices some time to give back to the soldiers. Always know that the smallest bit makes the world of difference to every soldier and every one of their families.” Lohss, a Pennsylvania resident, also comes from a family that has served in the United States military for generations. He plans to continue out the final three years on his contract, and then make a decision on whether or not to stay in for retirement, as he will have served 12 years. He described Coble as a kind man who took all the time in the world to show his passengers his business and private jet and to familiarize them with various aspects of a pilot’s life, which he would never have been introduced to otherwise. “Upon arrival in Nashville the staff of the Loew’s Hotel was extremely kind and generous with us being there. Meeting Mr. David Allen, the man that produced the event, was a wonderful experience. He said the VIP party we attended was all for us soldiers,” Lohss added. Billed as An Evening Celebrating Our Nation's Military Families, the all-star program was headlined by Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Jim Lauderdale, and the Steeldrivers, and also featured a surprise appearance by Ricky Skaggs.

Hay described the concert as “wonderful,” adding that “the standing ovation the other soldiers and I were given was heart warming.” Lohss concurred, saying it meant a lot that so many individuals and families had gone out of their way to make the veterans’ week celebration “as perfect as it could get.” “Receiving a standing ovation at the beginning of the concert brought tears to our eyes. It was overwhelming to see how much some people give to those that have served overseas,” he went on. “If I hadn’t gone I may never have seen the generosity of these wonderful people. The thanks we gave to them was quickly returned by all the people that would stop us to say ‘no, thank you for all that you have done and continue to do.’” Coble Trench Safety’s president Tom Coble intends to make further flights for the Veterans Airlift Command, and stressed he and his employees look forward to additional opportunities to show their support for the troops. “This is a small way that we can say ‘thank you’ to our troops and show our support,” he said. “Our nation is truly blessed because of the sacrifices of our brave men and women in the armed forces.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

future business opportunities. Mexico has been a very strong customer base for us over the years, and our local customers deserve this type of auction facility like the other 38 facilities strategically located around the world.” At the beginning of this year, the company moved its operations of more than 14 years from Toluca to Polotitlan, where three successful multi-million dollar auctions have already taken place while the construction of the new facilities was underway. The grand opening auction marks Ritchie Bros.’ fourth auction for 2009 in Polotitlan. “Some of our neighbors are Ritchie Bros. employees,” said Jesus Jimenez, municipal president of Polotitlan. “Their success is reflected through the company’s success and expansion — despite a current crisis in the global economy. Therefore our congratulations to Ritchie Bros., as our neighbors, are double.”

Ritchie Bros. Regional Manager Luis Farias speaks to the crowd during the grand opening auction in Mexico.
