Craig Mongeau
Our industry was given an early holiday gift on Dec. 4 when
President Obama signed the FAST Act, which stands for Fixing
America’s Surface Transportation, which also is essentially a highway
funding bill. The good news this time is that the FAST Act is long-term
funding legislation equating to five years and $305 billion, a far cry form
the kicking-the-can-down-the-street approach that had been going on for
several years with short-term extensions.
While it’s great to have this kind of funding certainty again for our
aging infrastructure, the $305 billion, though a lot of money, is not near-
ly enough to address all the problems. It’s kind of like when were kids
and we asked for a train set and we got a nice one, but not the really
good, but expensive one we had seen in the catalog. Like the train set,
this funding will keep us busy for a while.
Of course, it would also be nice if all of this money went to actually
building new roads and bridges and rehabilitating the ones that can be
saved, but that’s not the case too many times. Much money still goes to
impact studies and other peripheral administrative costs, and that’s what
bothers a lot of people about government spending in the first place. You
never really know what’s being spent on what, so it’s like looking at the
weight of a bag of chips, but you know a percentage of that is factoring
in the fistfuls of crumbs at the bottom of the bag. How much of that bag,
or in this instance, how much of this $305 billion is actually usable, pro-
ductive and fixing our crumbling, outdated and sometimes dangerous
transportation system?
Of course, the precise answer to that question cannot be known now,
but, for the time being (five years), state DOTs can have funding certain-
ty so that they can at least address some of the larger problems we have
and people will be working, which is always the best thing of all.
Have a happy, healthy and safe 2016. P

PROFILE CORRESPONDENT
“Everything I do is for the veterans.”Whether it’s riding his motorcycle as part of the Patriot Guard Riders
or raising money for the Wounded Warrior Project*, Steve Oliver, high-way superintendent of the town of Guilderland, is all about helping themen and women who served this country.
“I do anything and everything veteran-related. I’m president of theAmerican Legion Riders Post #977 Helderberg in Altamont. We’ve onlybeen a group for three years, but we’re very active. The first year we dida poker run and raised $10,000 for Wounded Warriors. Last year, weraised $15,000 for Soldier On**. They’re trying to buy the Ann LeeHome in Albany and turn it into a facility where veterans can get off thestreets and get counseling. We’re so excited. We can’t wait for it to hap-pen. The vets will get a cot, three meals and be able to talk to their peersabout anything.
“I’m also part of the Patriot Guard Riders of New York***. I recent-ly did a Patriot Flight. We meet the vet-erans at the various places andescort them down with our motor-cycles. We set up flag lines. Itstarted in the Midwest with aprivate citizen with his ownplane. Some veterans weretalking about how they’dlove to go, but they couldn’tafford it so he flew themthere for free and it caughton. Albany has two flights inthe spring and two in the fall.It’s a very moving experi-ence.”
How It All BeganFollowing his 1979 graduation from Berne-Knox-Westerlo High
School, Steve joined the U.S. Navy’s Construction Battalion (CB). “Anything that needed to be built, we built it. I was an equipment
operator. I was in active duty for seven years, stationed in Port Hueneme,California. There were 800 individuals per battalion and there were eightto 15 battalions. The CBs are made up of construction workers, mechan-ics, electricians, plumbers, carpenters and engineering aides. It was mychoice to work with them. That’s what I wanted to do and I wouldn’ttake anything else. I went to A School while I was there. It’s a basicequipment school where you learn how to operate graders, loaders, bull-dozers.”
Steve’s first deployment was to the Philippines for 10 months. “We built roads, piers, a facility for the Navy Seals. I came home and
went to the California Crane School where they teach you how to usemore specialty equipment. My next deployment was to Midway Islandfor another 10 months. It was a little gas station in the middle of thePacific Ocean between the Philippines and Japan. There’s basically a gasstation in the middle of the ocean. It’s a supply area with an airport anda deep harbor. We put sheet piling around the entire island to stop the
erosion.“We’d be back in the States anywhere fromsix to eight months between deployments.
Then we’d go again. My third deploy-ment was to Sicily for 11 months. Webuilt a sports complex; knocked downthree hills, leveled the whole thing,drainage, gravian walls, dozer work.”
Steve’s last deployment was backin Port Hueneme for two years.
“I was transportation supervisor. Idispatched buses for troop movement and

other equipment that was needed around the base. It was crazy. My wife
loved it because I was home for a while. I got out in 1987 and started
here that same year.”
Steve admits he didn’t actively pursue the highway department’s top
spot.
“I didn’t really think about it. It was never anything I wanted to do. I
started here as a laborer. I was running the grader because there was no
one else to do it. Then I became an Operator 1, 2 and 3 and foreman.
Operator 1 is primarily a truck driver. Two and three get more into heavy
equipment, with three being more of a crew leader or sub-foreman. I
came up through, turning down foreman twice.
“I wasn’t ready to get out of the machine. Then my body started get-
ting a little beat so when they offered it to me again I said, “Why not?”
I took the foreman job in 2010 and in 2011 they made me deputy super-
intendent. I still had no desire to become superintendent but after a year
of doing the job I said, “I can do this. Why should I work for a politi-
cian? I’m going to try and do it myself. So I ran opposed and won. I
became highway superintendent in 2012. I’m running again this year
unopposed.”
It seems like working the “highway” was a natural progression. “My
father worked for the NYS Thruway Authority. My grandfather was a
foreman for Albany County in Knox and my great-grandfather worked
on the road to Whiteface Mountain.”
Steve and his wife, Leah, a clerk with the town building department,
have been married 32 years. They have three children and six grandchil-
dren. Daughter Heather and her husband Ben have three children;
Gabriel, 9, Payton, 7 and Colton, 4. Meaghan and her husband Chris are
parents to Bella, 13 and Kaitlin and husband Justin have two daughters,
four-year-old Lily and eight-month-old Isabella.
In his spare time Steve loves the woods and hiking.
“I’m an aspiring “46er.” There are 40 peaks over 4,000 ft. in the
Adirondacks. I’ve hiked 30 and have 16 more to go. My wife hikes with

me but she’ll only do the small ones.”
When it comes time to vacate the superintendent’s chair Steve is look-
ing forward to “travelling across the country on my motorcycle, spend-
ing more time with my grandkids and doing more with the veterans.”
All About the JobThe highway department’s facilities consist of a main building that
houses the superintendent, two foremen, the secretary and a locker and
break room.
“This little extension is new, probably the late ’90s. The rest of the
building is late ’70s. We also have a mechanics area that includes truck
and small vehicle lifts and a welding and paint bay. We do complete
restoration here. We rebuild them from the frame up.”
The department also boasts a four door bay “where we can back the
trucks up four deep,” five cold storage buildings and a 2,500-ton capac-
ity salt shed.
“We roll out of here with about 100 to 150 tons per storm. Last win-
ter we ran about 4,000 tons. We mix salt and calcium and spray it on.
from page 14
Steve and his wife, Leah, a clerk with the town building department,have been married 32 years. They have three children and six grand-children.
Seen here is a tank with an auger for mixing salt brine for pretreatingroads. continued on page 36

The calcium speeds up the salt process. We’ve been experimenting withliquid brine to try and use less salt. We have some steep hills so some-times we’ll use salt on those areas.”
Perhaps the most interesting part of these facilities is the full signshop/department.
“We make all our street and road signs for Albany County as well asthe towns of New Scotland and Berne and the village of Altamont.We’ve been doing that since I’ve been here. We got into the sign busi-ness when Albany County disbanded the program. They called andasked me if I wanted about $30,000 worth of materials. All we had to dowas make their signs when they needed them.”
As the highway department’s “chief of staff,” Steve is in charge ofkeeping up the town’s 340 paved lane miles of road. That translates into17 plowing routes, two men per truck, that take about 3.5 hours to com-plete.
Steve’s 42-member crew help serve the town’s 35,000 residents. Keystaff includes foremen Bob Haver and John Valletta and Lee Kwaggs,shop foreman.
“I also have the storm water management officer in my department.It’s different from the water department. It’s all storm water, drainageand wetlands. Since the MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System)was implemented we’re required to do a lot more.
“I just put a young guy in there who’s computer savvy. He’s mappingthe whole town and outfalls. When he’s finished I’ll be able to pull upthe exact catch basin they’re going to work on. I’ll know how deep it is,what size pipes are in it. It’s pretty cool.”
This superintendent knows the importance of having a good and loyalstaff.
“I couldn’t do this without them. We’re a team, not a one-man show.Every one of us will do anything. I’m proud of that.”
Under Steve’s fastidious eye, the town of Guilderland’s highwaydepartment runs on a total operating budget of $4,591,950 that includessalaries and benefits for employees.
To help with its daily operation the department uses a squadron of
equipment that includes (but isn’t limited to):• 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee• 2015 Ford F-250 pickup with plow (2)• 2009 Ford Ranger 4 x 4 pickup with plow (2)• 1994 Elgin street sweeper• 1999 G.M.C.

“My shop maintenance supervisor, Lee, oversees the entire shop andour six mechanics. Matt Walsh is the body technician.”
How does Steve budget for new equipment? “The best way I can. The board has to approve any purchase over
$20,000. That’s pretty much anything we want or need to buy. I try tobuild up my fund balance so I can buy what I need. I don’t like to bor-row money. I’d like to have a five-year cycle but financially that’s notpossible. We’re still running some old trucks. I have a 1959 Oshkosh thatstill runs and we have two others from the ’70s that could go at any time.We also have trucks from the ’80s and ’90s that can go on the road.They’ve been completely rebuilt by our staff. That’s the only reason wecan run these old trucks as long as we do. I just updated some pick-upsand leased an excavator because we needed one. We’re looking to buy anew snowplow. I try and keep what the guys need going.”
While modern technology isn’t for everyone, this highway superin-tendent embraces it. As for equipment, “In the beginning they were hard-er to work on but the guys are getting caught up with the technology. I’ve

sent some of them to school and we have the diagnostic equipment thatshows you where to go so we don’t have to send anything out.”
Technology also has changed how Steve does his job. “Everything was handwritten — now it’s a touch of your fingertips.
Thanks to the mapping programs, instead of driving to a site I can pullit up and tell you why you have a lake in your backyard. Thanks toGoogle Earth, I can look at the contour lines on the map and see a holein your yard.”
Like most highway superintendents these days, Steve finds doingmore with less to be the most challenging part of his job.
“It’s a challenge trying to make the money work. There’s more to dobut the budgets don’t go up much. Not enough to even notice. They [thetown board] make it look good but when it comes right down to the nutsand bolts of the money, it doesn’t really change.”
If he could see into the future what would Steve see in his crystal ball? “Our own paving operation. It’s been a goal but it’s hard to find the
money to get it up and running. I’m about $600,000 away from thatnow,” he says, laughing. “We have the people in place to do it. I just needto find the money to buy the equipment.
Not to worry. I’m a “CB.” Our motto is “Can Do” so don’t tell me Ican’t do it.
About the Town of GuilderlandSince its pioneer days in the 1700s and its formal beginning in 1803,
the town of Guilderland has been a unique, historic location.

Mohican and Mohawk Indians used the
clear waters of the Normanskill to fish and
barter downstream at the Dutch trading
post near Fort Orange (Albany).
By 1740, early Palatine and Dutch pio-
neers traveled the Schoharie Plank Road
by stagecoach and wagons on their west-
ward journey to find a new home. Many
settled at the foot of the magnificent
Hellebergh escarpment. There they built
their homes because of the rich soil, abun-
dance of timber and water power from the
numerous streams.
One of the oldest settlements and the
site of Guilderland’s earliest industries was
at French’s Hollow. In 1795, Peter Broeck
had already established a clothing factory. By 1800, a knitting mill, but-
ton factory and grist mill employed the early pioneers in the settlement
nearby.
In the village of Hamilton (now Guilderland on Rte. 20), in 1785,
Dutchman Leonard DeNeufville started a glass factory called the
Hamilton Glass Works. It was subsequently owned by Patroon Jeremiah
VanRensselaer and the Schoolcraft family.
The town of Guilderland became incorporated by an act of legislation
on February 26, 1803. The first town meeting was held at the Appel Inn
in Guilderland Center on April 5, 1803. Agriculture replaced
Guilderland’s forests, the Great Western Turnpike was completed and
railroads cut through the country side bringing growth in small hamlets
with post offices, stores, churches and schools. The town flourished.
In the early 1900s, the western end of Guilderland remained mostly
rural. The eastern end of town began to develop into a residential and
commercial suburb. By the end of the 1900s, shopping malls, apartment
complexes, business centers and a State University had changed the
landscape.
Each century has brought changes in the character of the Guilderland
