Ditch Witch of Georgia recently acquired its third location, adding DitchWitch of Albany to the existing facilities in Savannah and Atlanta (ForestPark). The company, owned by the Ditch Witch factory, is Charles MachineWorks Inc., located in Perry, Okla.Wade Bailey, general manager of Ditch Witch of Georgia, started with the

company 33 years ago. Over the years, Bailey worked his way up throughfour different owners and various positions, including salesman,sales manager and assistant general manager.He explained that back in the 1970’s, all three stores had the same

owner, Clarence Merritt. When his two daughters married, he splitthe state, giving each of them separate dealerships, one in Savannah,

Ditch Witch AcquiresAlbany, Ga., Location

By Russ BynumASSOCIATED PRESS

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) While acknowl-edging it’s a bad time to seek money fromWashington, U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson saidApril 3 he’s pushing hard to get federal fund-ing to begin deepening the shipping channelto the Port of Savannah by the end of 2013.The Georgia Republican told reporters

during a visit to the bustling seaport that theharbor deepening is his top issue to discusswith President Barack Obama when thepresident joins Isakson and other GOP sena-tors for dinner. They’ll be dining the sameday Obama plans to release his proposedbudget, which Georgia port officials hopewill include money to start construction onthe $652 million project.“We’re still working diligently in

Washington to close the deal,’’ Isakson said.“And we’re very, very close.’’Savannah and other East Coast ports are

scrambling to deepen their shipping chan-nels to make room for supersized cargo shipsexpected to begin arriving after the PanamaCanal finishes a major expansion. That workis expected to be finished in 2015.Even before the Panama Canal project

added urgency to the issue, the Georgia PortsAuthority had been working since the 1990sto deepen more than 30 mi. (48 km) of theSavannah River between its docks and theAtlantic Ocean. The federal government,which spent $41 million studying the proj-ect, gave final approval last October to deep-en the harbor from 42 to 47 ft. (12.8 to 14m).Now the major hurdle is money, though a

federal lawsuit filed in South Carolina by

environmental groups opposed to the projectremains unresolved as well. The federal gov-ernment is on the hook for 70 percent of thecost. Getting any sizable funding fromWashington at a time when lawmakers arefocused on painful budget cuts won’t beeasy.“You’re talking about a lot of money,’’

Isakson said. “And we’re having a lot ofproblems in Washington with money.’’The Army Corps of Engineers said last

fall it hoped to begin dredging by this sum-mer. Asked when realistically the corpsmight get funding to start that work, Isaksondeclined to give a specific timetable but said“this is the year that we have to get the jobdone.’’Obama has called for expediting improve-

ments at U.S. ports to help spur the economyand has included a line item for theSavannah project in past budgets. Last year

the president’s budget included $2.8 millionfor the Savannah harbor project — enoughto keep it on Washington’s radar but far lessthan the $105 million Georgia officials want-ed to put toward the start of construction.If Obama doesn’t come up with the

money in his upcoming budget, Georgiaofficials are looking at other options.Steve Green, vice chairman of the

Georgia Ports Authority board, said $231million the state has already appropriated forits share of the cost could be tapped to coverthe federal share of the first phase of dredg-ing if no money comes from Washington.But he said the move would need approvalfrom the federal government, which hasauthority over maintaining navigable waters.
