A Quarterly Insight Into The Happenings At Pennsy Supply, Inc.
~ To Build A Better America, Starting At Home, One Stone At A
Time ~
Heat safety... Did you know There’s
an app for that?
When you're working in the heat, safety comes first. With the OSHA-
NIOSH Heat Safety Tool, you have vital safety information available
whenever and wherever you need it - right on your mobile phone.
The App allows workers and supervisors to calculate the heat index for
their worksite, and, based on the heat index, displays a risk level to
outdoor workers. Then, with a simple "click," you can get reminders
about the protective measures that should be taken at that risk level to
protect workers from heat-related illness-reminders about drinking
enough fluids, scheduling rest breaks, planning for and knowing what to
do in an emergency, adjusting work operations, gradually building up the
workload for new workers, training on heat illness signs and symptoms,
and monitoring each other for signs and symptoms of heat-related
illness.

2017 Chamber high school
business challenge
2
Two Penny Supply Executive staff members became volunteer mentors for the 2017 Chamber High
School Business Challenge, a program which inspires young entrepreneurs to learn more about what it
takes to design and build a business.
Brian Groff, VP Safety, Health and Environment, mentored a team from Middletown High School while
VP of Marketing Yonn Barrick mentored a competing team within the Derry TownshipSchool
District. The goal for this project was to learn from menotrs with real life experiences. During the
process the teachers were able to assist the students, but the mentors were there to provide invaluable
“real world”advice.
The assignments consisted of creating a company logo, mission statement, marketing strategy and a
financial plan to make their company profitable. As a mentor, I was consulted on different aspects of
what a good plan would be. They were very quick to make decisions and I truly believe they have a
good business plan for submission to the Chamber. The ultimate prize each student could receive was
scholarship money for their college tuition,” says BrianGroff.
The competition finalists pitched their plans “Shark Tank” style to a panel of judges on
Wednesday, April 26 from 9:00am-12:00pm at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology.

Invitations by Prescott quarry staff to South Lebanon Township Emergency Responders for Saturday
morning, June 3, resulted in 10 emergency responders using the 90-minute window to familiarize
themselves with Pennsy’s Prescott site and its key staff including QC Manager Tim Kindt, Quarry
Superintendents Dan Knight and Brad Rhoads, and QC Technicians Josie Mrocik and Holly Stuller.
Following a light breakfast, visitors were presented with a recently designed site map and provided a
drive-through tour outlining the map’s marked buildings. Following the tour, time was allotted for
questions and answers which focused on unique aspects of the Prescott site as well as discussion on
the particular risks most frequentlyfaced.
With over half of those in attendance having never before been on the Prescott site, this event proved
to be as much a valuable introduction to Pennsy Supply’s industry and site layout as it was a refresher.
All present agreed that they hoped it was knowledge that they would never have to utilize in a real
emergency.

Natgun Project a success!
Natgun (DN Tanks) www.dntanks.com, from Wakefield,
Massachusetts, specializes in building prestressed concrete
water tanks. This particular project was a 260,000 gallon water
tank for PAWCin the borough of Steelton.
Using seven specialty mixes designed by Natgun, Pennsy
Supply was awarded the opportunity to supply material forthe
build of a 260,000 gallon water tank! Natgun requested to use
the rear of Paxton Street to build the walls of the tank on site
and we gladly accepted. After it was completed, we used our
lowbed trucks to transport the walls to PAWC. The project
started in April and was totally completed by the end ofMay.
This project was quite complicated with very tight
specifications. The wall pouring and then tank coating with
shortcrete mixes concluded with a total of 470 cubic yards. A
huge thanks for the QC, dispatch, drivers, lowbed transporters,
and sales for another great project and a happy customer!

“We both improved and
streamlined the 2017course
having learned from last year.”
said Anthony. “We already have
ideas to smooth out the process
even more for 2018.” “This year’s
course was definitely improved,”
expressed one second-time racer.
“The route was better marked
and the change-up of obstacles
balanced out therunning.”
Special thanks to all of Anthony’s
team who made it happen at
Silver Spring as well as to Robert
and Katrina Shimp and Stephanie
and Tommy Bilger who
volunteered at obstacle stations
throughout the quarry. And to
those Pennsy employees and their
families who raced and know the
satisfaction of having crossed the
finish line, you have earnedmy
unendingadmiration!
BREWSER 2017
Overcast skies provided a welcome cover from what could have been a scorching heat descending on Silver Spring
quarry on Sunday, May 28, 2017. Brave athletes enlisted to tackle a five-mile obstacle course known as the Brewser 2
Adventure Race hosted by Pennsy Supply in collaboration with Appalachian Brewing Company (ABC). A schedule of
races for different age and skill levels took place between 8am-2pm on the grounds of both the brewpub and inside
the vast, neighboring Silver Spring quarry. Race proceeds supported the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
(JDRF). “It’s full of challenges,” said Karen McDermott of JDRF. “The quarry run has a lot of different obstacles in it,
including a mud pit and some mental obstacles. That’s exactly what Type 1 diabetics and their families go through on
a daily basis, both mental and physical challenges.” In its second year, the race attracted over 150 more runners than
last year’s race resulting in almost 400 athletes being inspired to take on the physical challenge set up by Area
Manager Anthony Cairns and his team at the quarry who worked hand in hand with ABC volunteers to lay out the
race’s course and demandingobstacles.

Students Test Their Expertise at Skills
USA PA State Competition
The top nine students from high school-level Heavy
Equipment training programs across Pennsylvania put their
operation and service abilities to the test at the Skills USA PA
State Heavy Equipment Competition, held April 20 at Fort
Indiantown Gap, Annville.
Students competed in nine individual competency areas and
were judged by industry professionals including Pennsy
Supply’s Construction General Superintendent, Doug Keller.
Each contest area replicated a real-life application. These
included trenching, backfilling and loading; surveying and
grades; component and control identification; pre-operation
machine inspection; service write-ups and parts ordering, and
virtual training using bulldozer and excavator simulators. Tri-
Axle Dump Driver Clinton Rohrer also participated as a
volunteer in the loadingcompetition.
The 2017 Heavy Equipment Competition was held at the 201st
Red Horse Squadron (RHS) Regional Equipment Operator
Training Site (REOTS) located at Fort Indiantown Gap in
conjunction with the PA Skills USA State Championships taking
place at the Hershey Convention Center and Lebanon Expo
Center. Skills USA is a national student organization that
develops employability, participatory and leadership skills to
complement the occupational skills developed by students in
technical education classrooms or work-based learning sites.

Pennsy Supply Honored
those who served
There are some of our military men and woman who
will never again stand in “parade formation”. In their
honor, the Annville Memorial Day Parade marched on
for its 27th year on Saturday, May 27th. The Annville
Parade is held every Saturday of Memorial Day
Weekend. Said West Area Sales Manager Robert
Shimp, “Rain stayed away and we had a good
parade!” Robert and his wife Katrina paraded
alongside Pennsy’s military themed mixer
acknowledging veterans and active service men and
women along the parade route. Thanks also to Tim
Kindt and his father who distributed flags to parade
spectators. Special thanks to Driver Gary Keller who
not only drove in Saturday’s Annville parade, but
assured Pennsy Supply’s presence in the Newportand

Pennsy Pulse Newsletter Qtr 2 2017

  • 1. Pennsy Supply PULSE CONTENTS QC Spotlight Project Recap Job opportunities And much more… Qtr 22017 A Quarterly Insight Into The Happenings At Pennsy Supply, Inc. ~ To Build A Better America, Starting At Home, One Stone At A Time ~ Heat safety... Did you know There’s an app for that? When you're working in the heat, safety comes first. With the OSHA- NIOSH Heat Safety Tool, you have vital safety information available whenever and wherever you need it - right on your mobile phone. The App allows workers and supervisors to calculate the heat index for their worksite, and, based on the heat index, displays a risk level to outdoor workers. Then, with a simple "click," you can get reminders about the protective measures that should be taken at that risk level to protect workers from heat-related illness-reminders about drinking enough fluids, scheduling rest breaks, planning for and knowing what to do in an emergency, adjusting work operations, gradually building up the workload for new workers, training on heat illness signs and symptoms, and monitoring each other for signs and symptoms of heat-related illness.
  • 2. Pennsy Supply PULSE Qtr 2 2017 2017 Chamber high school business challenge 2 Two Penny Supply Executive staff members became volunteer mentors for the 2017 Chamber High School Business Challenge, a program which inspires young entrepreneurs to learn more about what it takes to design and build a business. Brian Groff, VP Safety, Health and Environment, mentored a team from Middletown High School while VP of Marketing Yonn Barrick mentored a competing team within the Derry TownshipSchool District. The goal for this project was to learn from menotrs with real life experiences. During the process the teachers were able to assist the students, but the mentors were there to provide invaluable “real world”advice. The assignments consisted of creating a company logo, mission statement, marketing strategy and a financial plan to make their company profitable. As a mentor, I was consulted on different aspects of what a good plan would be. They were very quick to make decisions and I truly believe they have a good business plan for submission to the Chamber. The ultimate prize each student could receive was scholarship money for their college tuition,” says BrianGroff. The competition finalists pitched their plans “Shark Tank” style to a panel of judges on Wednesday, April 26 from 9:00am-12:00pm at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology.

  • 5. Pennsy Supply PULSE Qtr 2 2017 Invitations by Prescott quarry staff to South Lebanon Township Emergency Responders for Saturday morning, June 3, resulted in 10 emergency responders using the 90-minute window to familiarize themselves with Pennsy’s Prescott site and its key staff including QC Manager Tim Kindt, Quarry Superintendents Dan Knight and Brad Rhoads, and QC Technicians Josie Mrocik and Holly Stuller. Following a light breakfast, visitors were presented with a recently designed site map and provided a drive-through tour outlining the map’s marked buildings. Following the tour, time was allotted for questions and answers which focused on unique aspects of the Prescott site as well as discussion on the particular risks most frequentlyfaced. With over half of those in attendance having never before been on the Prescott site, this event proved to be as much a valuable introduction to Pennsy Supply’s industry and site layout as it was a refresher. All present agreed that they hoped it was knowledge that they would never have to utilize in a real emergency. PRESCOTT ER TOUR

  • 7. Pennsy Supply PULSE Qtr 2 2017 Natgun Project a success! Natgun (DN Tanks) www.dntanks.com, from Wakefield, Massachusetts, specializes in building prestressed concrete water tanks. This particular project was a 260,000 gallon water tank for PAWCin the borough of Steelton. Using seven specialty mixes designed by Natgun, Pennsy Supply was awarded the opportunity to supply material forthe build of a 260,000 gallon water tank! Natgun requested to use the rear of Paxton Street to build the walls of the tank on site and we gladly accepted. After it was completed, we used our lowbed trucks to transport the walls to PAWC. The project started in April and was totally completed by the end ofMay. This project was quite complicated with very tight specifications. The wall pouring and then tank coating with shortcrete mixes concluded with a total of 470 cubic yards. A huge thanks for the QC, dispatch, drivers, lowbed transporters, and sales for another great project and a happy customer! 7

  • 13. Pennsy Supply PULSE Qtr 2 2017 13 “We both improved and streamlined the 2017course having learned from last year.” said Anthony. “We already have ideas to smooth out the process even more for 2018.” “This year’s course was definitely improved,” expressed one second-time racer. “The route was better marked and the change-up of obstacles balanced out therunning.” Special thanks to all of Anthony’s team who made it happen at Silver Spring as well as to Robert and Katrina Shimp and Stephanie and Tommy Bilger who volunteered at obstacle stations throughout the quarry. And to those Pennsy employees and their families who raced and know the satisfaction of having crossed the finish line, you have earnedmy unendingadmiration! BREWSER 2017 Overcast skies provided a welcome cover from what could have been a scorching heat descending on Silver Spring quarry on Sunday, May 28, 2017. Brave athletes enlisted to tackle a five-mile obstacle course known as the Brewser 2 Adventure Race hosted by Pennsy Supply in collaboration with Appalachian Brewing Company (ABC). A schedule of races for different age and skill levels took place between 8am-2pm on the grounds of both the brewpub and inside the vast, neighboring Silver Spring quarry. Race proceeds supported the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). “It’s full of challenges,” said Karen McDermott of JDRF. “The quarry run has a lot of different obstacles in it, including a mud pit and some mental obstacles. That’s exactly what Type 1 diabetics and their families go through on a daily basis, both mental and physical challenges.” In its second year, the race attracted over 150 more runners than last year’s race resulting in almost 400 athletes being inspired to take on the physical challenge set up by Area Manager Anthony Cairns and his team at the quarry who worked hand in hand with ABC volunteers to lay out the race’s course and demandingobstacles.
