  "Down here in Florida, there is no support for a drilling operation," says General Manager Ed Callahan.
  ...
  Callahan says the primary's framework, the operator station, the walkways and the conveyors were all built and designed in house."It's definitely a Youngquist Brothers' crusher (plant)," Callahan says.
  ...
  "It's like one of the world's largest remote control toys," Callahan says.
  
  This toy is propelled by several electric motors.A 250-hp motor for the hydraulic system runs whenever the machine is in motion and shuts down as soon as it stops.A 300-hp motor operates the jaw crusher.A 75-hp motor operates the pan feeder, and a 50-hp motor controls the grizzly.Another 60-hp motor controls the smaller hydraulic systems, Callahan says.
  ...
  A structural analysis by Templar Technologies, a New Jersey engineering firm, helped keep the steel to a minimum, Callahan says.The conveyor framework was assembled into 40-foot segments, small enough to be galvanized at another shop.
  ...
  Callahan says the upper portion of that conveyor and the rest of the plant that follows, with the exception of the sand plant and radial stackers, was built by Process Machinery.
  ...
  Callahan says the material circulated to Tower Two simultaneously makes stone size numbers 5 (1 to , inch), 89 (, inch to 1.18 mm) and 57 (1 inch to 4.75 mm).
  
  From the bottom of Tower One, number 3 (2 to 1 inch) and number 4 (1, to , inch) stone bypasses the crusher and is conveyed straight to the stockpiles."It's just a naturally occurring stone, and depending on the screen sizes, we can make it right off the tower," Callahan says.
  ...
  "We minimized the horsepower requirements of the main sump pump by utilizing the potential energy of the water," Callahan says.
  ...
  "All three sand fractions are recipe blended back together to customer-specific blends," Callahan says.
  ...
  Callahan says, although it was a concern, the height of the stackers has not created any segregation issues.
  
  The stackers are free standing on concrete pedestals with counter weights on the back.Callahan says it is a perfectly balanced system that rotates up to 300 degrees on a Rotec bearing with only 4 hp.
  
  The massive stockpiles feed a growing market that Callahan says is booming.And he estimates the site has 40 years of permitted reserves to feed the market.He says that the plant will have no problem absorbing the demand as the market grows.
  ...
  "The cost per ton is much lower using electricity than relying on an overabundance of diesel engines," says General Manager Ed Callahan.The electric-powered conveyors have eliminated the need for haul trucks that require fuel, drivers and maintenance.He says it would take at least five haul trucks to maintain the current production level.

  Ed Callahan, general manager of Rockingham Park, said of the agreement that, "We are trying to do the best thing for the horsemen in the area and for harness racing in New England."
  
  To accommodate the statutory needs of Plainridge, Rockingham agreed to give up a week at the beginning and end of its traditional meeting dates.
  
  Steve O'Toole, general manager of Plainridge Racecourse, agreed with Callahan, and added that, "This would be a good opportunity to try some unique ideas to generate excitement for our sport such, as late-closing events to be scheduled in the spring and fall, with legs and finals for each event to be shared by the two racetracks."

  Rockingham Park president Ed Callahan and his staff certainly make great use of their facility.The Salem, N.H., track conducts live harness racing in season and year-round simulcasting of all breeds, augmented by charitable poker and bingo, with trade shows thrown in for good measure.
  
  In fact, responding to the nationwide poker craze, Callahan has hired the Granite State Poker Academy staff to begin free instructional classes for beginning players on Mondays from 3-5 p.m. beginning Feb. 14.
  
  Poker is available at Rockingham Park seven days a week and upcoming events include the New England College World Series of Poker, Women-Only tournaments, and the awarding of eight seats to the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.
  
  But what Callahan really desires is a return to a circuit arrangement with Suffolk Downs, with thoroughbreds sharing the racing calendar at both tracks.
  
  "We've talked to Suffolk Downs and they are amenable to a circuit if things could be worked out," Callahan said earlier this week.
  ...
  "I'm always optimistic," Callahan said."It (vote) depends on the budget and whether the state feels it needs more revenue.The choices are an income tax, a sales tax, or gaming revenue.I'm not sure on the order of importance."
  
  "We must allow new revenue sources," added Callahan, "but the inevitability of losing racing in the state doesn't seem to bother many of the 400 legislators, most of whom are not from around here."
  
  Callahan was asked if legislative action in Massachusetts would impact thinking in Concord: "I'm not sure how the Massachusetts situation affects things here.
  ...
  said Callahan."When we can't make a go of it, we'll look at the situation.Certainly, we can go on for the next couple of years."
  
  However, Callahan did strike a cautionary note.
  
  "Keep in mind that simulcasting revenues continue to decline.Internet wagering is having a bigger impact every year.There are only four simulcasting licenses in the state of New Hampshire and the Attorney General said if you think someone is breaking the law, call your local police chief," he said.

  Ed Callahan, Rockingham's president, says the betting totals have been declining ever since casinos opened in Connecticut in the 1990s.
  
  And bingo, charity poker and daily simulcast racing haven't made up the difference.
  
  Callahan says renovating the track and adding the slots makes a lot of sense, since its right next to Massachusetts, where 80 percent of the track's revenue comes from.

  Given the proliferation of enhanced purses at tracks on the Eastern seaboard due to various forms of alternative gaming, Rockingham president and general manager Ed Callahan frankly discussed the difficulties facing tracks in states which have not passed similar enabling legislation.
  
  "The difficulty of attracting horses to New England is no different than Suffolk Downs is seeing with the thoroughbreds," emphasized Callahan."They've (horses) got to pass a dozen places with slot machines and supplemental purses, by one means or another, before they get here.We've seen the Meadowlands cancel dates and Woodbine as well because of the difficulty of obtaining horses."
  
  "What you receive in stall applications," continued Callahan, "isn't necessarily what you get on the grounds.
  ...
  Callahan fully understands that standing the test of time will require ingenuity and innovation, such as moving some of the Texas Hold 'Em poker tables outside, with umbrellas over them, in the fine summer weather.
  
  "It will be very different than what they can have at Foxwoods," said Callahan.
  ...
  "The new legislation would allow people the opportunity to play the games at the lower levels (of investment) rather than taking the drive down to Foxwoods Casino or the Mohegan Sun," opined Callahan."It's not going to be a complete substitute.You don't have the revenue coming from it to build the facilities you'd like to be able to do.But, I think on a small scale, we'll be able to put something nice together and provide some entertainment for those who want to be able to participate," ended Callahan.

  General Manager Ed Callahan described last Saturday -- the first day of craps and roulette in the Poker Room -- as "one of our strongest days yet."
  
  The charity group working the tables raised just over $11,000 in one day, Callahan said, a good sign of things to come.
  
  As the roulette wheels began spinning, a new law went into effect that raised the $2 wager limit to $4, adding new incentive for gamers to place their bets at Rockingham Park.
  
  "I think the vast majority of them are appreciative," Callahan said.
  ...
  "I think it will take a little time to determine exactly how much better or not it is from the previous year, but with the increase to $4, the availability of additional games should improve things for the charity (groups)," Callahan said.

  "The process was so simple," says Ed Callahan, Facility Manager for the account.
  ...
  "This was a great project from start to finish," noted Callahan."I am confident I have a great product at the best price.The process was effortless and the engineering support made my job even easier.I would recommend using Project Sourcing to all my peers," said Callahan.
