Craig Mongeau
I’ve never been to Lake Placid, though it has always been one of those
places where I’m hoping someday I’ll have time to visit. But like it is for
a lot of people who are over 40 years old, Lake Placid is a place where,
in a way, it feels like we’ve already been.
The 1980 Winter Olympic Games have everything to do with that
feeling — and the “Miracle on Ice” U.S. Men’s hockey team has forev-
er etched this quaint, beautiful upstate New York village in our collec-
tive memories. Instead of a fictitious baseball field in Iowa, Lake Placid
is where dreams actually did come true.
I was just a young kid when this happened but I still remember the
Soviet Union game well; in fact, I have the entire game on DVD. I also
remember the often-overlooked but equally important ensuing game
against Finland. And there’s yet another thing I remember about the
“Miracle on Ice” game: I had not heard that the game was actually going
to be played in the afternoon and not at night in prime time … when, I
thought, by the promos ABC was running would be played. So I’m
watching New York City’s WPIX around 5 or 6 p.m. and the late, great
Jerry Girard, the station’s sports anchor, comes on for the sports news
and says something like, “You’ll never guess what has just happened …
the U.S. Men’s Olympic hockey team just defeated the Soviet Union 4-
3.”
Before the Internet, before today’s plethora of sources for immediate
information, this was the only way to get a sports game spoiler — and
Jerry Girard didn’t even provide a spoiler alert … he just came out with
it.
So I watched the game later that night knowing full well that even
when our team was down and the Soviets were applying constant pres-
sure, we were going to win, and I admit, it detracted just a little bit from
it. Not much, but I wasn’t panicky nervous like I would have been
watching that game while not knowing that in the final frantic 10 min-
utes, we were going to hang on.
Thirty-six years ago … sigh. Tell you what, though. I might have
known the result beforehand that night, but I sure as heck didn’t know
that so many years later, like now, I’d still feel incredibly emotional and
proud about what happened that night in Lake Placid. P

H Public Works Superintendent
Brad Hathawayand the Village of Lake Placid
Mention Lake Placid to most people and the first thing they think of
is the Olympics and the 1980 U.S. hockey team’s “Miracle on Ice” gold
medal victory. This, along with an annual Iron Man Triathlon, which is
held in July each year in conjunction with the Empire State Games,
draws thousands to this scenic locale in Essex County, N.Y.
Over the past few years, Lake Placid has experienced significant
growth, both in the number of residents and with the number of tourists
and visitors.
Hockey is a particularly large draw. The arena for the 1980 Olympics
and two other hockey facilities are booked solid with hockey tourna-
ments and events. The appeal being anyone who has ever donned a pair
of hockey skates wants the opportunity
to skate on hallowed ground (or ice).
“We only have 2,500 residents,
but when we are hosting a major
event [which is almost continu-
ously during the summer and win-
ter months] our population can
swell from 2,500 to 30,000
people,” said Public Works
Superintendent Brad
Hathaway.
“For the Iron Man Competition, we have 2,000 competitors, which
does not account for their families, trainers and the swarms of people
who come to town to enjoy the event. Due in part largely to Lake Placid
hosting the 1932 and 1980 Olympic Games, the village has a number of
world-renowned winter sports venues, including the U.S. Olympic Team
Training Facility, three hockey arenas, a bobsled run, a speed skating
arena and a ski high jump facility, to name a few. All of which get heavy
utilization throughout the winter months.”
In the summertime, vacationers and summer residents who are drawn
by the beauty of the Olympic Village and the area’s cool mountain lakes
and breathtaking Adirondack Mountains, swarm Lake Placid.
Year-Round ChallengesIn the warm weather, the streets are absolutely full, which makes road
maintenance and repair, without creating traffic issues, very challenging,
Brad explained.
“When springtime rolls around, due to the severity of our winters, we
have a lot of road repair to do. Damaging your vehicle on potholes will
certainly keep the tourists away, but again, we have to be conscious of
keeping the roads open so the tourists can get through. So, we try to have
all of our road repairs done by noon.
“There is a window in the late spring and autumn when tourism takes
somewhat of a dip that has to be capitalized on. The streets are just as
much, if not more, jammed up in the wintertime. Even finding a park-
ing spot in the downtown area can be difficult. Add to that the near-
ly daily snowfall and the challenges of its removal. The highway
department puts in some very serious overtime through the
winter months.”

The Iron Man Triathlon has been hosted in Lake Placid since 1999.

Each night, all vehicles must be off the streets by 10 p.m. and that’s
when the highway department’s work kicks into overdrive. All of the
sidewalks have their snow either blown or swept into the street, then all
snow right up to the curb that is in the streets is pushed or blown to the
centerline. Because there is no room for stacking snow, at that point a
truck and a snow blower is used to transport all of the village snow out
of town to be dumped.
“The end result for the visitor to the Lake Placid downtown shopping
area is for them to be able to pull up to the curb, get out of their vehicle,
and shop the main street without dealing with any ice or snow whatso-
ever,” Brad said.
A Lifetime of ExperienceBrad worked his way through the village of Lake Placid to the posi-
tion that he holds today. He was very familiar with the types of projects
that municipalities do, having learned from his father, Ron Hathaway,
who was the highway superintendent of the town of North Elba, which
is the town that the village of Lake Placid is located in.
Starting with working for the water and sewer departments during
summer breaks in high school, Brad accepted a full-time position with
water and sewer upon graduation. In 2002, he became a foreman for the
water and sewer department and in 2005 the sewer and water superin-
tendent. In 2006, he was named the acting village highway and superin-
tendent of sewer and water and by 2007, he was named village DPW
superintendent.
“When I came in to the position, I had some knowledge of the high-
way equipment and had, at times, helped out with the highway depart-
ment. But, certainly water and sewer were my strong suit. One of the
first things we started to address was operating water, sewer and high-
way harmoniously. They had been previously viewed as totally separate
departments that did not interact. Cross training also became a major
focus. Where previously we would have one individual license for water
treatment we now have seven. We also have our sewer and water guys
now trained to be able to operate trucks for the highway department.”
As public works superintendent, Brad is appointed by the mayor. He
reports to the mayor and four trustees. He currently is serving under his

The village does the bulk of its work with single-axle trucks, with a cou-ple of tri-axles for moving large loads.
Each of the fleet’s shops are meticulously maintained and well tooled,including vehicle lifts.
This Elgin Pelican sweeper has been a valuable addition to the village’sequipment fleet.

second mayor in his nine years as commissioner of public works.
“Elections can be a popularity contest. In an appointed position I feel
I’m more likely to be judged by the quality of the work done by our
department. I have been very fortunate to work with a mayor and a board
that gives me the tools that I need to succeed and my current board has
been particularly good to work with.”
Hard Days and Major ProjectsOne of the toughest days on the job occurred the day before the Iron
Man tournament when there was a fire that destroyed one of the Main

In the summertime, the village runs a fleet of trolley cars to try to allevi-ate tourism-related traffic.

Street businesses. Two million gallons of water were used to put out thefire resulting in quite a mess, according to Brad. The responsibility fellon the DPW crew to clean up the entire mess and clear the streets andsidewalks, allowing for the race to start down the Main Street area ontime.
A major project that was recently completed was a $14 million sewerplant upgrade to meet all new environmental standards. Along with thatcame the replacement of a sewer trunk line that was so old that no onecould actually put a date on it, which passed through an unused streamcalled the Chubb River that had been dammed about 100 years ago. Theold clay line running through the area was replaced with a 24-in. 3.5 mil-

lion gallon capacity pipe.
In the course of the project, the village received a grant allowing it to
eliminate the dam and restore the river. The entire area was excavated,
natural stone was laid, the stream was restored and turned into a beauti-
ful park.
“We worked with Kubricky Construction from the Saratoga area.
They are a major construction company who was an actual joy to work
with. They demonstrated tremendous flexibility; they helped us through
the process instead of getting in the way. Their employees actually cared
about our project and what it was going to look like; and they were very
knowledgeable.
“This entire project benefited the village tremendously,” Brad said.
“Not only do we have 4,000 feet of new sewer pipe, but the capacity of
our sewage system was tremendously increased. We have a beautiful
new park and a nice fishing stream.”

EquipmentThe biggest part of Lake Placid’s truck fleet is small short wheeled-
based trucks that it needs to use because the village’s streets are typical-
ly narrow and congested. Triple-axle trucks are used to haul the snow out
of town, and a new sewer vacuum truck was just delivered by Joe
Johnson Equipment.
“Most of our tractors are Kubota and we have become fans of using
Western Star in our truck fleet. We replace the plow trucks about every
eight years and the larger trucks every 10 to 12 years. Our mechanic staff
is able to do 99 percent of our repair and maintenance work unless it is
a computer issue. Our purchasing is typically done off of New York State
Contract. That is typically no longer effective to us and we are now
piggy backing off of other county contracts.”
In discussing upcoming projects Brad said Lake Placid was looking
at significant upgrades and repairs in the Main Street sewer and water
infrastructure and upgrades to the water treatment plant.

“Over the last few years we have had tremendous rain events that
have affected this area. Furthermore, with last year’s record cold, and by
record I mean it was the coldest winter in recorded history, we had over
100 pipes freeze and break and believe it or not the frost was driven to a
record eight feet deep into the ground. As the frost moved out we still
had water pipes breaking in June,” he said.
By the NumbersBrad has 23 full-time employees and
two part-time employees and oversees
three departments (water, sewer and high-
way). Summer month work shifts are from
7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Winter hours split shifts 7
a.m. to 3 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.
The crew is responsible for 24 lane
miles and one small bridge, parks, parking
lots, parking meters and municipal
garbage.
“I have a tremendous amount of respect
and appreciation for all of our employees.
When I left the water department to take
this position Tracy Lahart really stepped
up. He transitioned very nicely into manag-
ing the water department, got all of the nec-
essary licenses, and has been a very effec-
tive working foreman. This was absolutely
critical to allow me to grow into my other
responsibilities.”
Brad also credits staff members Mike Corrow, Brad Greene, and
Robert Whitney Jr., all HEOs; Mike Goddeau and Tyler Preston, both
MEOs; Frank Fisk, Eugene Jewtraw, Phillip Perry Jr., and Donald
Herzog Jr., all MEO/laborers; Greg Jacques, mechanic/foreman; and

Brad has worked hard to take down walls between departments. Inthe winter time, crews see far more of each other than they do their fam-ilies, and as much as possible they try to get other departments to relievethe highway department when the weather becomes overwhelming.
“We also pride ourselves on being of assistance to other municipali-ties whenever possible. During last year’s blizzard in Buffalo we senttwo trucks and operators and the county sent four trucks and operatorsto help during their snow emergency. Buffalo is about six hours fromhere. We take the same approach in helping neighboring townships andthe county. We will certainly share men and equipment, typically ourtrucks, when paving projects need to be done and share our expertise insewage and water treatment if neighboring villages need help.”
The village’s operating budget is: Highway $1.3 million; Water $1million; Sewer $1.2 million; and CHIPS allocation $65,000.
About the Village of Lake Placid*The village of Lake Placid was incorporated in 1900 and is located in
the town of North Elba in the Adirondack Mountains in Essex County,N.Y. The village had a population of approximately 2,600.
Lake Placid is best known as the two-time site of the Winter
Olympics, in 1932 and 1980. In the United States, the village is especial-ly remembered as the site of the 1980 USA–USSR hockey game, the so-called Miracle on Ice, when a group of American college students andamateurs upset the heavily favored Soviet national ice hockey team 4–3and two days later won the gold medal. Another highpoint during theGames was speed-skater Eric Heiden winning five gold medals.

For customers who need a durable, reliable, fuel efficient and com-
pact wheel loader with a 3-cu.-yd. (2.3 cu m) bucket capacity, Doosan
now offers the Tier IV-compliant DL220-5 wheel loader.
Replacing the DL220-3 model, the 160-hp DL220-5 provides the
productivity and performance that operators have come to expect from
Doosan wheel loaders. Doosan DL220-5 wheel loaders are driven by a
powershift transmission. The fully automatic transmission — with three
selectable transmission modes — utilizes a vehicle control unit (VCU),
which means the engine’s computer and transmission control system
constantly communicate with each other to reduce fuel consumption and
increase performance.
The DL220-5 wheel loader falls in the 150 to 175-hp size class, and
is powered by a Doosan DL06 diesel engine without the need for a diesel
particulate filter (DPF). The compact, maneuverable wheel loader is
ideal for a variety of applications, such as commercial building, residen-
tial site development, road construction and maintenance, land improve-
ment/water control, crop and livestock production, snow removal and
scrap handling.
Like its predecessor, the DL220-5 is manufactured with a standard Z-
bar lift-arm linkage, and is ideal for scooping, loading, carrying and gen-
eral construction tasks. For operators requiring additional dumping capa-
bilities, the DL220-5 also is available, for the first time in this model,
with a new high-lift Z-bar configuration, extending the dump height 18
in. (45.7 cm) above the standard DL220-5. This configuration is ideal for
loading material into high-sided trucks or high hoppers, building stock-
piles or handling solid waste. Applications include livestock production
facilities, cement plants, scrap and recycling centers, landscaping centers
(loading mulch) or wastewater transfer stations.
Cab EnhancementsDoosan DL220-5 wheel loaders feature cab enhancements that
include a better, adjustable steering column to provide more legroom,
ease of operation and more floor space. Also inside the cab, a new fuel
consumption gauge informs operators of how much fuel the wheel
loader is using in real time. Updates to the keypad on the dashboard
make it easier for operators to push buttons, review and adjust settings,
and clean and maintain the keypads.
Visibility within the cab and around the wheel loader has been
improved, too. Two rear LED lamps, working more efficiently than the
prior lamps, provide better rear visibility when working at night. Lastly,
an adjustable sun visor allows operators to limit direct sunlight inside the
wheel loader cab for improved operating conditions.
Doosan continues to offer its forward-neutral-reverse (FNR) joystick
control / gear selector as standard equipment for greater operator com-
fort. The operator can switch between forward, neutral and reverse with-
out removing his or her hand from the controls, simply by pressing the
joystick buttons.
Routine Service Made EasyEase-of-maintenance updates from the DL220-3 to the DL220-5
include additional oil sampling ports to improve preventive maintenance
procedures. In addition, various fluid pressures are now viewable from
the dash panel, allowing monitoring from the cab.
An adjustable auto-shutdown feature in DL220-5 wheel loaders helps
operators save valuable fuel during non-working conditions. Operators
can configure the idle time before auto shutdown, from 3 to 60 minutes.
When enabled, the feature will shut down the wheel loader’s diesel

Kubota Tractor Corporation, unveiled two new models, the L47 and
M62 TLBs. The new TLBs replace the L39, L45 and M59 in the Kubota
product line. Both units will join Kubota’s popular B26 to round out its
TLB line.
“Kubota is taking its tractor-loader-backhoe line to new levels of per-
formance and refinement,” said Tim Boulds, Kubota construction equip-
ment product operations manager. “Our newest generation of TLBs is
more powerful, more efficient and offers more features for comfort and
convenience. The two new models feature optional single-lever
hydraulic hookup for coupling and uncoupling of front implements,
making Kubota’s TLBs an attractive three-in-one option to buyers in the
rental, construction and landscaping sectors.”
Three-in-One Workhorse With Easy Single-Lever Attachments
Kubota’s new TLBs feature true workhorse capabilities with essen-
tially three machines in one, capable of performing front loader, backhoe
and tractor work, and supported by an integrated main frame for
increased durability. Both the L47 and the M62 can perform front load-
ing, rear excavating, and other implement tasks, such as a pallet fork or
a box blade, via either a mechanical two-lever quick coupler or an
optional hydraulic quick coupler. With the hydraulic coupler, the opera-
tor needs only to press two dashboard buttons to release the levers secur-
ing the front implement. After backing away and proceeding to the next
attachment, pressing the buttons again re-engages the levers and secures
the new implement. Because the operator does not need to exit the
machine, the easy attachment feature proves value when working in
inclement weather, as well as being an overall time-saver on the job site.
Additionally, the backhoe’s quick coupler allows for easy switching
of Kubota excavator buckets, and a four-point rear quick-mount system
allows for easy detachment of the backhoe when it’s not needed. Even
more work duties can be handled with the aid of an independent PTO
that enables the TLBs to get even more work done by attaching a wide

range of PTO-driven implements, includingrotary tillers, snow blowers and rear-mountedmowers — and because the PTO is hydraulic-independent, operators can engage and disen-gage without stopping the tractor.
A Bigger, More Capable Backhoe:M62 Breaks Into New Digging
Depth CategoryAlong with a productive front loader and
powerful tractor, the M62 TLBs features high-
ly efficient backhoes that dig deeper and reach
farther than previous models. What’s more, the
new models now feature the ability to utilize
certain Kubota mini-excavator buckets, which
can provide for more versatility on the job site.
Kubota’s L47 boasts a 10-ft. (3 m) digging
depth and a bucket digging force of 5,825 lbs.
The M62 offers contractors even greater
excavating ability than its predecessors, with a
14-ft. (4.2 m) digging depth, a 17-percent
improvement over the previous generation’s
12-ft. (3.6 m) max depth. The M62 has a buck-
et digging force of 6,572 lbs.
On both TLB models, a lever-engaged
backhoe crawling mode allows the operator to
slowly creep forward or backward while
remaining at the backhoe controls, saving time
and enabling more sure-footed operation such
as when working alongside a trench.
New Diesel Engines: Cleaner, MorePowerful, Longer Range
The L47 and M62 are powered by tur-
bocharged four-cylinder diesel engines that use
a common-rail direct injection system, which,
along with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
and diesel particulate filters (DPF), enable
compliance with Tier IV Final emissions regu-
lations. In addition, both engines are more
powerful than their predecessors; the L47’s
engine produces a rated 47.1 gross hp, while
the M62 produces a rated 63 gross hp. The L47
and M62 are equipped with a much larger
17.7-gal. (67 L) fuel tank — that’s boasting up
to 48 percent more fuel capacity than those of
the previous TLBs, allowing both new models
to work longer, with less downtime required to
refuel, according to the manufacturer.
Increased Comfort andConvenience Features
The L47 and M62 host a number of interior
upgrades that are aimed at increasing function-
ality and optimizing operator comfort. In both
models the clutch pedal has been eliminated,
thereby allowing the brake pedal to be relocat-
ed to the left side of the cab, reducing interior
clutter and simplifying driver operation. Foot
space on the backhoe platform has been
increased 27 percent over the previous models,
providing the operator with a roomier work
area. A new throttle-up switch increases engine
rpm while holding vehicle speed steady for
those times when extra power is required for
front loader work but vehicle speed needs to
remain constant, and the electronic throttle
lever and PTO switch require less physical
effort to engage than older mechanical con-
trols.

Kubota Introduces New L47, M62 TLBs
Doosan’s DL220-5 Replaces DL220-3engine when the preset idle time is met.
Uptime protection features include a fuel filter separator with doublefiltration that is easily accessible behind metal panels that protect inter-nal components. The high efficient engine air cleaner prevents abrasiveparticulate matter from entering the engine’s cylinders. Thick wheelloader lift-arm plates provide strength without sacrificing visibility, andthe plates, chassis and joints have been analyzed using finite elementtechniques to confirm the components’ durability.
Limited-Slip DifferentialsWith this standard feature, the DL220-5 wheel loader has more trac-
tion when digging, grading or loading trucks. Limited-slip differentialshelp with these tasks and come standard on the DL220-5 wheel loader.To maneuver in tough terrain, the limited-slip differential allows thewheel with the most traction to receive the proper torque, providingsuperior tractive effort to ensure operators can keep working, even in softor wet ground conditions, according to the manufacturer.
Selectable Work ModesDL220-5 wheel loader operators can choose between three work
modes that adjust the loader’s performance to the application and deliv-er the right balance of power and fuel economy. The operator simplypushes a button to toggle between the following work modes:
• Economy (Eco): Reduces fuel consumption for low-demand appli-cations
• Normal: Balances fuel consumption for everyday digging, grading
and lifting tasks• Power: Provides superior power and performance for heavy-duty
conditions and truck-loading tasks
Options AvailableOptions available for the DL220-5 wheel loader include the follow-
ing:• 110-volt plug block heater• Emergency steering kit• Heated seat• Hydraulic coupler for simple attachment changes• Hydraulic locking front and conventional rear differential• Load isolation system (also known as ride control): isolates the
movement of a loaded bucket from the machine for a smoother ride• Rearview camera• Rotating beacon• Rubber fender protectors and full fender with rubber protector
Easy Attachment ChangesVersatility is important to wheel loader owners when they’re working
on a job site, especially when they want to change attachments quickly.The DL220-5 has an optional hydraulic quick coupler to easily changeapproved attachments, including buckets (general purpose, light materi-al or multi-purpose) and pallet forks.

By David StegerSPECIAL TO CEG
Knowing the true differences between radial and vertical loader
designs will help you leverage the advantages of each and enable you to
select the best machine to your specific application. We will look at the
obvious and maybe not as obvious details.
Advantages of a Radial SSL If strength, stability and durability are your focal points, a radial lift
arm loader may be for you, and are specially designed for rental appli-
cations, concrete contractors, and excavation contractors.
The advantage of a radial loader is summed up in two words: simplic-
ity and durability. There are fewer moving parts in the loader linkage
(also correlating to its durability), better visibility due to less linkage, and
also a lower cost than a vertical loader.
The radial lift arm design typically offers greater lifting power (lift
arm breakout) at ground level. It also has greater forward reach at mid-
height, which is useful for backfilling (dumping material further into the
trench while being able to sit further from the edge), and handling pal-
letized material at truck height. Furthermore, a radial loader weighs less
than a vertical machine which can help when transporting the machine.
Finally, radial loader arms are more stable side to side with a better
weight distribution front to back to handle ground-engaging attachments
like light attachments and empty pallet forks.
Advantages of a Vertical SSL If you never know what your jobs may throw at you, the versatility of
a vertical lift arm loader may be the ideal choice. These machines excel
at handling large attachments and heavy pallets and in some cases allow
you to choose a smaller machine in place of radial due to the generally
higher operating capacity.
The biggest advantages for a vertical machine are capacity, lift height
and a better balance. The key advantage is the act of keeping the load
closer to the machine during the lift cycle for better balance. Better bal-
ance results in a higher TIP/ROC.
The design also allows for greater lift height and reach at lift height
with some designs, although many well-designed radials are within
inches of their vertical siblings. Additionally, they are generally more
rear heavy due to the extra linkage as well as more expensive due to
more parts and steel.
At the end of the day, both will push, dig, lift, carry and dump.
However some models and lift configurations may be better suited to
certain tasks than the other. Before making any decisions, make sure that
you are choosing the right option that is most suitable for your needs.
When in doubt, it is always good to consult with your dealer.
Examining the differences between radial and vertical loader designs helps in selecting the best loader for a specific application.
