Schiller

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 15:02:27 -0400

We’re doing it again; back in 1984 CT Main had the contract to install a Siwertell at the Schiller station in Portsmouth NH. This was to take the coal off the ships and place it onto the conveyor. The plant had converted from oil to coal in 1984. Several L.U. 490 members worked on this project, some now retired, some still working.
Well now in 2010 Ayer Electric has the contract to install a new Siwertell to do basically the same thing. This plant now burns coal and wood chips. L.U.490 had a total 9 journeyman and 5 apprentices working on this project. Thanks to all of your hard work, you well once again have completed a successful job.

House Vote

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 13:35:29 -0400

As you have probably already heard, we lost the vote in the house on SB489 to expanded gaming in the State of NH, 212 to 158 but not without a fight. Local 490 members and other building trades participated in many events to show their support for the bill. We had two separate phone banks that took place at the hall and three separate rallies’ that took place at the state house and at each one we had an awesome attendance.
We may have lost that fight but we are winners in proving that we can put up a good fight. Your efforts did not go unrecognized; everybody saw and heard you…
We will keep you posted on any new status of the gaming bill.
Thanks again to everyone who participated in these events, keep up the good work thanks for all that you do…

Leo Keyes Hickox, 67, of Marlborough, N.H., died April 2, 2010, in Ridgeland, S.C., as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

He was born on May 2, 1942, in Hartford, Conn., the son of Douglas and Ruth (Bane) Hickox. He graduated from Manchester High School in Manchester, Conn., with the class of 1960. At about the age of 20 he moved to Marlborough, N.H. He went on to attend trade schools getting certifications in automotive mechanics and later as a master electrician.

He worked in construction for 30 plus years with the IBEW LOCAL No. 490 electricians union at such job sites as the then under construction Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant and more recently Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon. Most recently, in his retirement, he was regularly found working in his home town at the Marlborough Recycling and Transfer Center.
