A Word fromDan Hawbaker

2008 for GOH Thanks to all for your efforts and results in 2008! Thanks to all for your efforts and results in 2008! Our success was tempered and limited by events beyond our ability to control: rocketing fuel costs, liquid asphalt prices, a slump in aggregate sales and decreased asphalt tonnages. We have moved forward successfully with a number of initiatives including the completion of our Hazelton Aggregate Operation, the build-out of Grove City and the advancement of a State College recycling center, to name a few. We made 2008 a profitable year and were able to maintain a good financial standing, though market conditions as they related to our commercial, industrial and residential subdivisions experienced a decline. The result was a curtailment of much of our winter work, which we have been able to perform in the past. 2009 – the Potential 2009 holds the potential for infrastructure stimulus, as proposed in the Rebuilding of America Program from President Obama and the US Congress. The amount of the investment in transportation and environmental infrastructure may reach $85 billion. Of that proposed amount, $30 billion may be directed to highways and bridges nationwide. So what does this do for our opportunities in Pennsylvania? From the proposal, Pennsylvania may have the opportunity to receive nearly $1.3 billion for highways and bridges. To give perspective on PA’s past funding, without the proposed new program, in 2008 the total lettings amounted to $2.0 billion. According to our briefings with Penn DOT planners, 2009 lettings are planned at the $1.8 billion level. If the Federal stimulus reaches $1.3 billion for highways and bridges, the Penn DOT letting may reach $3.1 billion for 2009 – 55% greater than in 2008! Beyond the Federal stimulus, other programs for sewer and water are also moving forward. In the November ’08 elections there was a PA referendum on sewer and water improvements. The amount approved by the citizen’s ballot was $400 million. Much of this money may be spent on upgrading sewer plants that currently outflow into the Susquehanna and its branches. This will help Pennsylvania to substantially lower nutrient levels that come from the Susquehanna to the Chesapeake Bay, a long time issue and concern of the states adjacent to the Chesapeake and of the Federal EPA. There is an energy exploration moving in the Marcellus shale region of northern Pennsylvania that holds great promise for major and perhaps world-class deposits of natural gas. Billions have been paid by energy companies to Pennsylvania property owners for the right to drill into the Marcellus formation and other gas producing formations. This presents an opportunity for GOH products and services in areas of site development, road building and maintenance, and aggregate sales.

There are other Federal proposals that can impact Pennsylvania with infrastructure funding beyond highways and bridges. This would also hold potential for GOH with the US Army Corps of Engineers, environmental infrastructure and economic development projects.

It would appear 2009 may well be a very strong year in our industry. With the slow down of commercial and residential, the public infrastructure and energy opportunities look promising.

Final caveat: Federal Infrastructure Stimulus – will it happen in time to provide work opportunities in 2009? Quar

CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT

IRON MOUNTAIN 2008When you first hear the name “Iron Mountain”, you might think of a mountain which hailed its name from mining vast iron ore deposits from its core. Even though Iron Mountain’s origin did hail from mining – its claim to fame, in the early years, came from limestone mining. ”Hundreds of miners, many from southern and eastern Europe, labored underground from 1902 to 1950 digging and hauling limestone - used as flux to drain impurities from pig iron during the steel making process - for what was then U.S. Steel’s Anadale Mine. Today, many of these miners’ grand children move vital records down to the same spots to be stored and retrieved on demand.”1 Even GOH’s very own Ted Farren’s father worked in this mine to provide for his family’s welfare.

Iron Mountain’s transformation has taken 106 years to get where it is today. The site has evolved from limestone to mushrooms to underground storage and in 1998 started growing into what is now the largest underground storage facility in the world. “Squirreled away in a subterranean world 220 feet beneath the rolling hills of Western Pa. are some of the nation’s iconic photos: original prints and negatives of Albert Einstein sticking out his tongue, Harry Truman playing the piano for Lauren Bacall and Ted Williams clowning around with Joe DiMaggio before an All-Star Game. They are stored with cultural artifacts such as master recordings of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley, and sensitive data from Wall Street investment houses and top-secret government agencies.” Names like Walt Disney, Warner Brothers, Paramount Pictures, Bill Gates, Marriott, Hilton, Exxon and Mobile are all common place at Iron Mountain.

“All of this is safeguarded in a hidden 145-acre complex owned by Iron Mountain Inc., a Boston based data protection and storage services company. Security here is so tight the federal government classifies it just one level below the White House and Pentagon.”3

As you might expect, a facility of such stature demands quality contractors willing to play ball by their rules . . . rules like exact long term schedules, since ventilation must be moved

IRON MOUNTAIN / BOYERS ENTRANCE TO MINE

GOH Paves the way for

Iron Mountain, Inc.

Iron MountaIn, Inc : Boyers, Paevery shift to accommodate for dust and fumes . . . rules like all inside work must be done at night during strict hours from 6:00pm until 2:00am . . . rules like security check in. Each worker must have clearance and be signed in and out of the mine every shift. Campbell Asphalt and Grove City Paving have been providing this type of quality and service for years. Thus enters GOH, Inc. Because of Project Manager Ted Farren’s relationship at the mine it has been business as usual since the GOH acquisition took place in the spring of 2006.

So, on some cold snowy Mid-November days, our GOH crew led by Duane Bollinger, started down a long slope into an opening in the side of a rocky hill where they would spend their nights for two weeks. Once inside, security guards would check their identification and, once they were cleared, the work would begin. All the walls of the corridors in the mine are still limestone, chipped smooth and painted. Drill holes for dynamite are still evident in places and lighting is minimal at best. The ceilings are 13’6”, so dumping trucks is kind-a-tuff. (Thank God for belt trucks driven by Vince Schill and

Rich Young) The corridors are approximately 40 ft. wide. After the limestone is removed the asphalt is placed on a shale floor. The amazing thing is how the wall pressures cause this shale floor to heave in the corridors creating an ongoing base repair situation in all the travel ways. Hence, this was the mission of our GOH crew, to fix these needed base repairs, place some overlays and add new pavement to areas of expansion where new tenants where moving into the Mountain. This project went very well even though we had challenges of ventilation, dust control and low light. Ted Farren was Project Manager, Duane Bollinger Foreman and the crew for this specialized project was comprised of Don Hankey, Dan Goldinger, Ron Lithgow, Bobby Brown, Ron Wareham, Dave McClelland, Curtis Bailey, Marty Gibson and Jerab Lewis. This construction project was a great opportunity for GOH to show the top dogs at the Mountain what services and skills we were capable of. The challenges were radical grade changes and delicate cross slopes and thanks to excellent TOPCON work by Dave Klabnik and Mike Kuhn, they made it look

easy. The rest of this crew who excelled with skill and professionalism was comprised of Bob Cornelius, Steve McCanna, Lee McCandless, Norman Cook, Pat McNicholas and Randy Montgomery. These guys did an excellent job hitting control points perfectly and our customer was more than satisfied when the project was complete. We would also like to thank the guys at the plant for their sleepless nights and the ever-ready hot material: Don Clark, Ken Kreible and Keith Borerman. Iron Mountain is one of GOH’s top-shelf customers. The true beauty of the Mountain is found in its vast, majestic, almost spooky setting. When you enter the Mountain for the first time it is not only fascinating, but a little overwhelming. Iron Mountain is a company which has adapted to a changing, challenging business world and GOH is fortunate to be their paving contractor of choice.

NEW Grove City Office

And now they are one. For years it has been the goal of the far west to have the entire operation in one location. First there was the new asphalt plant. Shortly after the asphalt plant came the new shop. Finally, the new Grove City office is complete. Construction of the new 3000 square foot office began in early September. The structure was constructed by Hudson Construction of Hermitage, PA, while the exterior site development was completed by GOH forces headed up by John Hagan. Battling a strict time schedule set forth by the owner, the team pulled it all together. On December 10th, the final code inspection was complete and the occupancy permit was in hand. The new office will be the new home for 8 different managers, estimators, and administrators. Move in will commence quickly upon the completion of some interior final touches. Thanks to all of those who have helped on the project. And thanks to ownership for bringing the entire far west team together as one.

IT @ GOHEmail Etiquette Remember when email was the neat new thing that you just had to have? These days, I suspect most of us take it for granted. Recently, I was asked whether or not there were rules or guidelines for using email. With email being so ubiquitous these days, I had to admit, I hadn’t really thought about. It’s not like we all went to an email class our first day and ‘learned’ how to use it; most of us just dove in. The question got me thinking and a little research later, I’m happy to report there are LOTS of rules for using email (530,000 web pages full to be exact!)

With so many web sites and rules to choose from, it became instantly clear that a more scientific method was necessary to gather the ‘cream’ of the email etiquette rules and so with no thought or planning, I picked web pages at random.

It’s truly amazing what you can find on the web if you look hard enough. I found all sorts of advice, ideas, lists, rules, news articles, numerous published papers and lots of general information. It was too much. Some of the better things I found included:

• 12 tips for better email etiquette http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA012054101033.aspx

• Top 26 Most Important Rules of Email Etiquette http://email.about.com/od/emailnetiquette/tp/core_netiquette.htm

• 32 most important email etiquette tips http://www.emailreplies.com/

• Email etiquette 101 http://www.michaelhyatt.com/fromwhereisit/2007/07/e-mail-etiquett.html

• Or from Guy Kawasaki (a very fun read!) tp://blog.guykawasaki.com/2006/02/the_effective_e.html

Hopefully, you’ll find this helpful, and your email skills will make you the envy of all your friends. That’s it for this quarter! Bring IT On…..

Customer Service at GOH In light of current economic conditions, it is important to revisit and re-emphasize customer service. First, good customer service and customer satisfaction have always been and will continue to be a main focus at GOH, Inc. Second, what got us a reputation for satisfying customers will not be enough to get us where we need to be. Our customers have raised the bar for their expectations of service. Our competition is not sitting idly by and watching; they, too, are continually improving their service, capability, and competitiveness. We constantly are facing new, stiffer competition in all of our areas of service. So what? How do we meet these challenges?

1. Being Closer - Sticking With Our CustomersWe must foster relationships based on trust, loyalty, good communication, and outstanding service. This means more frequent contact and quicker response time, being “sticky with our customers.” Bottom line: our success depends upon the relationships we build and foster.

2. Material and Operational CapacityWe must be prepared with the capacity to meet our customers’ needs – on their terms. This means fulfilling commitments, and exceeding their expectations – every time – with outstanding service.

3. Problem Solving and SolutionsAll GOH employees must have a customer solution mentality, even above and beyond the call of duty. Our customers will appreciate this higher level of service, including solutions and professional expertise, by choosing GOH for their next project. 4. “Win/Win or No Deal”Quoted directly from our CEO, this means our customers will believe we have done everything possible to fairly and honestly satisfy their needs while we receive fair compensation to do so. Everyone walks away with a sense of fulfillment, enjoying the experience and satisfaction of a job well done.

These challenging times offer us the opportunity to be even better than we were before at satisfying our customers. Let us aspire to be the best company to provide heavy highway and site construction materials and services by providing the kind of service that deserves recognition.

Happy Anniversary SEDA-COG!October 2008 marked the 25th Anniversary of the SEDA-COG Joint Rail Authority (JRA). The JRA was created to preserve and improve the failing rail industry during the early 1980’s; its efforts have led to the success and growth of serving only five counties to eight counties and include 200 miles of rail line. Dick and Mimi Robey, Jeff Stover, Todd Hunter and Gary Shields have been truly instrumental with the success of the Authority. The Nittany & Bald Eagle, North Shore, Lycoming Valley, Juniata Valley and Shamokin Valley Railroads all operate under the direction of the JRA. Together these lines provide outstanding service to GOH and our customers. Our own Whiterock Quarry Track at Pleasant Gap was made possible in part with the efforts of the JRA. Continued support from these concerned and dedicated individuals will insure a secure and expanded future of rail transportation throughout Central PA.

Our special “Thank You” to Phil Lucas, General Manager, Nittany & Bald Eagle’s Bellefonte office and his staff for their dedication and devotion to see that our rail shipments are successful.

Customer Comment:From Mike W. Minich, Chief of the Shermans Dale Community Fire Company

“On behalf of the officers and members of the Shermans Dale Community Fire Company, we would like to thank you and your work force under the supervision of Kent Foresman for the great job done on the Shermans Creek Bridge and Route 34 from Shermans Dale to the top of Sterretts Gap Mountain. Although the work was intense and traffic as sometimes was snarled, at no time was our fire apparatus or ambulances held up. Your flag, road and bridge crews did a fabulous job at getting all of the apparatus and ambulances through the construction when there was an emergency. For that and the fine road and bridge that we have now, we thank you. Your work crews and the attention that Kent paid to the emergency needs and the completion of the job were outstanding. We appreciate what your company has done in our community.”

There were many smiles and cheers of joy on Christmas morning inspired by the generosity of GOH employees to the annual Toys for Tots program. Each year, the money that is donated by the GOH employees at the annual Christmas Party is placed in an account for Christmas the following year. This year, the contributions totaled $1,895.

As a result of the current economic conditions, Toys for Tots joined forces with area food banks and requested assistance in providing food for local communities. To accommodate their needs, $1,000 worth of Weis gift cards were purchased and donated to the State College Area Food Bank (to be distributed to local food banks) and various toys were purchased with the remaining $895 at Wal-Mart and donated to Toys for Tots. From the unknowing kids, thanks for your part in making this Christmas a memorable one!

Making History – the Opening of the I-99 Corridor

On November 24, 2008, political and transportation officials and spectators gathered at mile 68 of I-99 to officially open the complete length of the 84-mile stretch of I-99 from the PA Turnpike at Bedford to its

termination point in Central Pennsylvania at mile marker 161 on Interstate 80. The project was a vision lead by former US Representative Bud Shuster, who, along with family, was present at the ribbon cutting.

I-80 Colombia County GOH is proud to be part of improving yet another section of Interstate 80, this time in Colombia County. This job includes work on three large bridge structures and rehabilitation of 5 smaller structures as well as overall improvements to roadways and interchanges, and 184,000 tons of asphalt. Beginning mid January, 2009, GOH crews will commence work on this two-year project, which will include both the westbound and eastbound sections for a total of approximately 9.5 miles between Buckhorn and Selinsgrove. Look for more updates on this project under the direction of PJ Connolly and Warren Stoner in our April Quarterly!

HEALTH & SAFETY:

Heart Disease-Get the Facts Heart disease has become the number one killer of men and women in the United States.

Recognize the Signs of a Heart AttackMost heart attacks start slowly, with mild pain or dis-comfort. Often, people aren’t sure what’s happening during one and wait too long before getting help.The most common signs of a heart attack include:• Chest discomfort. Pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and contin-ues to come back.• Upper body discomfort. Pain in one or both arms, and/or back, neck, jaw, or stomach pain.• Shortness of breath. • Other signs. Nausea, a cold sweat, or lighthead-edness.

What to Do In The Event Of a Heart AttackIf someone you are with thinks they are having a heart attack, call 9-1-1 or get to a hospital immedi-ately! If you think you are having a heart attack, never drive yourself to the hospital, have someone else take you or call 9-1-1. The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is the fastest way to get life saving help.

And don’t wait longer than five minutes before call-ing for help. Most people wait too long and that can end up being a fatal mistake.

Risk Factors of Heart DiseaseThere are multiple risk factors associated with heart disease. Some are controllable, while others are not. Uncontrollable risk factors include: • Gender,• Age, • Family history of heart disease, • Post-menopausal, and • Race. Controllable risk factors include: • Smoking, • High LDL, (“bad” cholesterol), and low HDL, (“good” cholesterol), • Uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure),• Physical inactivity,• Obesity • Uncontrolled diabetes, and• Uncontrolled stress and anger.

Steps To Reduce Heart Disease Here are some ways you can reduce your risk of heart disease:• Stop smoking,

• Control high blood pressure,• Lower your cholesterol,• Maintain a healthy weight,• Get active,• Control your diabetes,• Manage stress and anger, and• Eat right.

Did you know... 82% of G.O.H.’s health plan members with heart disease are between the ages of 40-59 (and 85% of them male). Almost half of all heart attacks are fatal and occur within one hour of the onset of symptoms, and before the person can get to a hospital. Therefore, don’t wait, call 9-1-1 and get help immediately!

12 Steps to Improve Your Financial Health in 2009!! Employee Services NewsletterView On-line at www.theEAP.com

Interested in some substantial (yet painless!) ways to increase wealth in the coming year? Here are a few suggestions.

1. Give every $20 purchase a second look. If you could save just $20 a week for one year, you would have an additional $1,040 in your wallet. Most of our purchases of $20 or less are for “wants” rather than “needs” anyway; e.g., magazine subscriptions, compact discs, cosmetics.

2. Opt for a new car loan of four years or less. Otherwise you are setting yourself up for eventually owing more than the car is worth.

3. Round off your mortgage payments to the next even hundred dollars. You will save thousands over the long haul and have fewer payments.

4. Pay your bills on time. When you pay only the minimum on your credit card debt, you are electing to pay the highest interest over the longest period.

5. Use the Internet. One bride recently disclosed that the same dress she was thinking of buying at $1,300 retail was available online for $900. Always be sure, however, that your Internet vendor displays the padlock security symbol.

6. Don’t expect miracles. Change is hard! So bag your lunch twice a week if you don’t think you can do it every day. You can save money in small steps.

7. Don’t collect too many store cards. Often, certain stores will offer significant one-time discounts if you apply for one of their cards. However store cards generally carry higher rates and applying for too many cards will actually hurt your overall credit rating.

8. Look for deals. Many credit card companies will invite you to transfer your debt to low rate cards. These can save you money as long as you’re moving high-rate debt to low-rate cards. Read the fine print.

9. Don’t borrow to the max. Just because someone is willing to lend you the money doesn’t mean that you can afford the loan. The more you borrow, the tougher it is to pay back.

10. Take advantage of benefits your employer offers. Yes, a wallet full of cash is nice on payday, but if your employer offers a 401(k) or a flexible spending plan for medical products, you should have a very good reason for not participating!

11. Get help. If you’re spending 20% or more of your take-home pay on old credit card debt, you’re in trouble. Contact your EAP or a consumer credit counselor at once!

12. Contact Us. Your EAP offers many resources and services to ease your financial stress!

UPDATES:2008 Safety Performance

Glenn O. Hawbaker experienced another good year with regards to our safety performance. The company continues to stay below the industry average injury rates. The company Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) for 2008 was 5.0 compared to an industry average of 6.0. And the Lost Work Day Rate (LWDR) was a 2.0 compared to an industry average of 2.3. Unfortunately, we did increase our injury rates from the previous year, which was a 3.7 for the TRIR and a 2.0 for the LWDR respectively. The injury rates for 2007 were the lowest the company has ever experienced.The Mining group contributed another strong safety performance despite recording the first two company injuries of the 2008 year. The mining group finished the year with a total of only 3 injuries. A “Thank You” to all those associated with the mining group for their consistent safe working practice.The best company area safety performance can be found within the shop personnel. They have achieved an unprecedented, two years without suffering a recordable injury. This is a great accomplishment to work two years and have zero injuries. This outstanding accomplishment can be attributed to the dedication of the shop leadership, and most importantly the attitude and professional safe workmanship that exists with all of the shop employees. They truly establish an example we all can be proud of.

A word from our President, Dan Hawbaker: We can improve! Taking personal responsibility and being accountable is what makes for a great safety record. Our ceaseless striving to improve is at the forefront of all our construction work. Our shops and mining operations have led the way in 2008. For 2009 our construction performance can improve. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND BE ACCOUNTABLE.

Clearfield Co SR 879 over the Susquehanna-Temporary Bridge Span

Currently the GOH bridge crews under Joe Liegey’s and Doug Weaver’s supervision have erected the longest temporary bridge span ever used in the United States. The process started with design submittals for temporary abutments prepared by McTish Kunkle and Associates and for modular bridge design by Mabey Bridge Company. After those approvals were granted the abutments were constructed. Our piledrivers drove pipe pile and the carpenter crew formed and poured the pile caps. The temporary bridge components, which required 25 loads from various parts of the country, began to roll in. Roller pads and rollers were set and the modular bridge components were assembled. The Mabey Bridge System is designed to be assembled and pushed across an opening while cantilevered and properly balanced. A temporary nose assembly starts to carry load as soon as it reaches the far abutment. The nose assembly is removed as the bridge is pushed across.

BRIDGES OF CENTRAL PA:

McKean Co SR 6 – Port Allegany BridgesOur contract to replace two bridge structures, one over the Allegheny River and one over the railroad, in the borough of Port Allegany was bid on August 16th 2007 and notice to proceed was given September 20th, 2007. The roadway detour went into effect at the end of February 2008 and demolition of the existing bridges began in early March. We got off to a slow start on reconstruction of piers due to high water from flooding at the river bridge. Our crews worked on the abutments of the river bridge and the railroad bridge until the river subsided. After the river calmed down around the end of April Joe Liegey and the bridge crew, along with Oop and the piling crew, started catch up work on the two piers and demo of the last existing pier. After some difficult dewatering problems and negotiated additional sheeting, the substructure work at the piers was successfully completed. The precast beams were set on both bridges beginning July 24th and were complete July 28th and deck work followed. Both decks were poured in early September. Ken Stewart and Jim Stewart set up and slip formed all of the parapets on the river bridge. This was the first slipping job using the new 12” wide mold and the finished product was excellent. Both structures were complete and ready for traffic by November 7, 2008. The members of the bridge, piling, and slip forming crews did a great job of getting a difficult project completed on time in spite of Mother Nature. Thanks guys!!!

A temporary nose assembly starts to carry load as soon as it reaches the far abutment. The nose assembly is removed as the bridge is pushed across.

Another step in the process of constructing this temporary structure is jacking the nearly 800,000 pounds of steel down approximately 4 feet onto the bearing assemblies. This requires a jacking system with a capacity of 400 tons and must be accomplished by jacking each end of the bridge down a foot at a time until it is safely landed on the bearings.

The temporary bridge is the major component of the temporary roadway required to maintain normal traffic unrestricted while the old bridge is demolished and replaced. The whole process will be done in reverse when the new bridge opens summer of 2009. The only problem we encountered during assembly of the bridge was Mabey Bridge Company’s inability to send equipment fast enough to keep up with crew on the job. Joe and Doug’s guys really knocked this one out quickly.

Huntingdon SR22 at AlfarataGOH awaits the thaw to begin work on a second bridge in Huntingdon on SR22 at Alfarata. Dave Myers, Mark Weaver, Jerry Bair, and Doug Weaver will all move in mid March and will make use of knowledge gained from work on the “Huntingdon County Million Dollar Bridge,” just 10 miles away on SR22. This bridge rehabilitation work includes redecking the existing structure in three phases and heavy structural steel repairs, as well as placing new expansion dams, widening the bridge by 2.5’. Additionally our millers and pavers will update the roadway

and approaches.

The Market Street Bridge in Williamsport, PA was completed in 2008 and has positively impacted the traffic in all directions at the intersection of I-180 and Rte 15. Built by Trumbull Construction of Pittsburgh for District 3-0, Penn DOT, it has not only facilitated traffic flow, but also captures one’s eye for its design. GOH, Inc. was the asphalt paving subcontractor for Trumbull and is proud to have been a part of this great project.

THE “NEW” ASPHALT

GOH’s “Mount Rap More” Way back in 2000 we started documenting the usage of recycled asphalt product at the Pleasant Gap and Milroy asphalt plants. That year we introduced 26,312 tons of rap into our mixes for our paving crews to use for parking lots and driveways. In 2001, the Montoursville asphalt plant started adding rap into their base and binder mixes for the Department of Transportation projects. In 2004, the Montoursville quality control team had submitted 25% mix designs for their base and binder mixes to the PA DOT testing lab for their approval. That year, the Pleasant Gap, Milroy and the Montoursville asphalt plants combined to use 92,788 tons of recycled asphalt in their mixes.

In April of this year we started using rap in our entire base and top mixes at the Grove City asphalt plant in Barkeyville, PA. They finished the 2008 paving season using over 14,200 tons of rap. Also in April, we started using new reground shingles, another recycled asphalt product, in our hot mix at the Pleasant Gap facility for sales to private customers and for paving parking lots to help reduce the cost per ton of material. With the liquid asphalt index driving to the high side of $800 per ton, we are always looking for new and innovative ways to reduce costs. In May of this year we accomplished another goal for GOH by introducing rap into the Dubois asphalt plant. They finished this year with using 9,100 tons of rap in their hot mix.

We now have 5 plants that consume rap in 65 mixes, and in 2009 we will be injecting rap into our batch plant in Turtlepoint for the first time since the plant was erected in 1994.

We set a goal each year for total recycled asphalt product used, always to surpass the prior year’s goal. Our 2008 goal was 150,000 tons of recycled asphalt product. Thanks to a great effort from everyone -- from the portable crushing team to our quality control teams -- from the east to the west -- from the leaders and their crews at each asphalt plant-- we used over 156,000 tons of RAP. This now sets even higher expectations for our 2009 goal!

These goals could not be met without the hard work and dedication from Aaron Durland for achieving our 25% mixes and, just this year, designing a top coat mix with 15% recycled asphalt product from the lab at the Montoursville plant. Other GOH employees who contributed to this success were Brian McClain and Scott Letterman, for their diligent work in developing and producing our private top mixes at 28% rap and the commercial base mixes at 36% rap.

Our total recycled asphalt usage of over 780,000 tons since 2000 has given Glenn O. Hawbaker the distinguished title of being the # 1 ASPHALT RECYCLER IN PENNSYLVANIA.

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH HELPING US SURPASS OUR GOAL FOR THE 2008 SEASON — AND THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CONTINUED EFFORTS IN 2009!

Warm Mix Asphalt…too much to gain, to lose! Warm Mix Asphalt is an exciting development happening recently in Pennsylvania highway construction. In late 2007, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Deputy Secretary for Highway Administration Mr. Richard H. Hogg, P. E., put forth an Initiative for the research of Warm Mix Asphalt projects throughout the Commonwealth. Four Pilot projects were awarded for the 2008-2009 construction season, and Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. (GOH) has one of these projects under contract. What makes Warm Mix Asphalt so exciting – so different? The name itself gives a clue, but there is so much more! Compared to normal everyday Hot Mix Asphalt that is produced normally at 290 to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (F), Warm Mix Asphalt can be produced thirty to seventy-five degrees F or lower – AND still give density and ride quality that meets any specifications. At lower production temperatures there is significant reduction in the amount of energy needed to produce the mixture. With lower production temperatures, the heating and mixing process reduces emissions and odors significantly – helping to protect the environment and the workers. Lower production temperatures reduce the oxidation potential for the liquid asphalt, thereby aiding in the durability for the mixture. Most importantly – there is no reduction in the quality of the mixture through this technology, compared to an everyday Hot Mix Asphalt product. There are currently thirteen technologies to choose from for the production of Warm Mix Asphalt. European countries have been utilizing many of them since the late 1990’s – successfully. In 2002, the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) conducted a European study tour to learn about three of the processes. Since then, many States have performed pilot projects to study the potential for this mixture, and its future acceptability. A return visit to Europe in 2007 by a team from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA); State agency American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) representatives; asphalt suppliers and Hot Mix Asphalt contractor representatives allowed for a two week scan tour. The purpose of the tour was to gather information on the technologies used to produce Warm Mix Asphalt; look at mix design and construction practices, and actually view some of the oldest Warm Mix pavements. The last two years have seen a significant push forward in the acceptance of Warm Mix. Texas, the recognized leader in the implementation of Warm Mix, will have placed about 400,000 tons in the 2008 construction season. The partnering of FHWA, State DOT’s, NAPA and Industry working together to develop a model Permissive Specification, should allow for producers and contractors to use Warm Mix just like they would Hot Mix. As long as “Warm Mix is equal to or better than Hot Mix”, why would you not want to use it?

In the spring of 2008, GOH made a decision to utilize the asphalt-foaming process for producing Warm Mix Asphalt. After meeting with representatives from Gencor Industries, Inc. an Ultrafoam GX system was purchased and installed at GOH’s Pleasant Gap, PA asphalt plant. On May 20th, the first attempt of “trying out” the equipment was a success. Since then, GOH has placed over 5,000 tons of Warm Mix. Bases, binders and even wearing mixes have been placed on residential developments, commercial sites and even a temporary road on SR 879 for a PennDOT project near Clearfield. All material collected and tested by GOH has met current specifications put forth by PennDOT, and exceeded expectations. Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. looks forward to continuing the research for the daily implementation of this viable technology. Lowering production temperatures (saves fuel and reduces oxidation of asphalt); reducing emissions (helps reduce employee exposure and aids in a cleaner environment); provides the ability to use more RAP and still achieve proper density…all good things. With Warm Mix – there is just too much to gain, to lose.

HEALTH & SAFETY:Carbon Monoxide PoisoningKnown as the “silent killer,” Carbon monoxide is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that poisoning from this odorless, tasteless, and colorless gas claims nearly 500 lives, and causes more than 15,000 visits to the hospital annually.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced as a result of incomplete burning of carbon-containing fuels such as coal, wood, natural gas, propane, kerosene and fuel oil. Problems arise as a result of improper installation, maintenance, or inadequate ventilation of space heaters, furnaces, stoves, fireplaces, water heaters, and automobile exhaust.

Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning such as headaches, nausea, and fatigue, are often mistaken for the flu or food poisoning because the deadly gas goes undetected in a home. Prolonged exposure can lead to brain damage and even death.

To prevent CO Poisoning:

• Ensure that appliances are properly adjusted and working to manufacturers’ instructions and local building codes.• Annually inspect and clean heating systems, chimneys and flues.• Don’t use unvented gas, kerosene, or propane space heaters in enclosed spaces and use the proper fuel.• Vent stoves and heaters to the outside and check exhaust systems for leaks.• Never leave a car or lawn mower running in any enclosed space.

Ensure proper use and maintenance of fuel burning appliances. In addition, protect yourself and your family by installing a carbon monoxide alarm on each level of your home, particularly near sleeping areas.. According to the National Fire Protection Association, approximately 93% of homes have smoke alarms yet the Consumer

Product Safety Commission estimates that only 15% of homes have carbon monoxide alarms.

If you think you are suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning, you should:

• Turn off all combustion appliances and immediately get fresh air.• Go to the emergency room and tell the physician that you suspect CO poisoning.

Home Safety According to the National Safety Council in 2006, an estimated 72,600 unintentional-injury deaths occurred in the home. Another 20,200,000 people suffered nonfatal disabling injuries, which are more numerous in the home than in the workplace and in motor-vehicle crashes combined. This works out to about 1 out of every 15

people experienced an unintentional-injury in the home. The most common type of unintentional injury is the result of slips and falls at the home. All age groups are vulnerable, but older adults are most at risk. In fact, 80% of those receiving fatal injuries are over the age of 65. Falls continue to be the major reason for injury-related death, injury and hospital admission for older adults. Those who are in or know people in this age group please take the time to evaluate the home for slip and fall hazards.

• Keep walkways and stairways free from clutter and keep telephone and electrical cords out of those

areas.• Use non-skid throw rugs to reduce slipping on linoleum, tile, and hardwood floors.• Install handrails on both sides of stairways. Have grab bars in the bathroom by toilets and in the tub/shower. Use a rubber mat or slip resistant stickers on the tub and shower floor.• Make sure living areas are well lit.• Be aware that climbing and reaching high places will increase your chance of a fall.Special concerns with children are open windows. Unguarded windows opened only 5 inches pose a danger to children under ten. Never depend on an insect screen to keep a child from falling out of a window. Keep furniture-or anything children can climb away from windows. Here at GOH we have had several of our employees seriously injured by accidents at home. We had an employee injured while cutting fire wood when the tractor he was using to drag logs overturned and rolled down an embankment. Another employee suffered severe facial burns when a 55 gallon drum exploded when he attempted to cut the top off with a cutting torch. The employee was unaware that the drum previously contained a flammable liquid.At Glenn O. Hawbaker we do not want any of our people or their family members injured, whether at work or home. Please practice consistent safe behavior in all of your activities and take the time to identify and correct potential hazards at your home.

Dominion Transmission – Welcome to the Neighborhood! Dominion Transmission Inc. operates our nation’s largest underground natural gas storage system. They saw the need to move more natural gas to consumers in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern States where it is in high demand. A few years ago the plan to construct a pipeline to move natural gas from Cove Point Terminal on Chesapeake Bay to the storage fields at Leidy, Clinton County were put in place. During the last 2 construction seasons an 81-mile pipeline has been installed from Perulack to Leidy, which almost entirely parallels an existing Texas Eastern pipeline in Juniata, Mifflin, Huntingdon, Centre and Clinton Counties. Hundreds of pieces of earthmoving equipment were moved into Pleasant Gap last spring. Many local residents asked if GOH was having an equipment auction. You could look in any direction and spot a welding truck or a bus transporting the hundreds of pipelayers to the worksites.

As well as the pipeline, a natural gas compressor station was built in Pleasant Gap; this station will be responsible for moving and monitoring the flow of gas to various locations. GOH Inc. is pleased to have been able to supply Dominion and its subcontractors with an array of materials and services. The finishing touches on this $130 million project will be completed in the spring of 2009.

Congratulations to the asphalt plants! NAPA, the National Asphalt Pavement Association, a 3000 member organization has recognized GOH with its Diamond Achievement Commendation for four of its hot mix asphalt plants in Pennsylvania located in Pleasant Gap, Montoursville, Dubois and Grove City. The citation states: Earning the commendation demonstrates to your employees, neighboring community, and the industry that your company is dedicated to responsible operational practices and continuous improvement. The recognition represents your commitment to excellence. The award is achieved by meeting a significant list of criteria pertaining to efficiency, industry practices, meeting and exceeding regulatory requirements, safety, environmental practices, general maintenance and appearance of plant sites. These awards are the culmination of great efforts by everyone involved with these plants during 2007 and 2008 to upgrade their appearance and technology, insure all the safety standards are up to appropriate levels, review signage of all types and do a lot of painting and general housekeeping. Clearly, these efforts were successful. The appearance of these plants makes a strong statement about the quality of our product and the kind of company that GOH wants to represent to its customers and neighbors. There will be a plaque in the office in State College recognizing the award. Also there will be Diamond Award decals placed on the silos of the four plants. “Being part of the communities we operate in, respecting the environment and our neighbors is simply good business” said Dan Hawbaker. “This recognition has been earned by the people who operate our plants and we congratulate their achievements” Tammy Confer
