I miss Long Island. Back in the early 1990s, I was fortunate to attend Hofstra University in Hempstead, but I have to admit, it took me a little while to adjust. I came from a small, somewhat isolated town called Pittsfield, Mass., just across the New York State border. Pittsfield seemed like a big city growing up; after all it was the most populated area in Berkshire County. We were seen as “city people” by our peers in the neighboring rural towns.

In reality, though, we were rural in just about every way, just like many of the towns and villages in upstate New York. Life was relatively calm, and you knew people; it was like a two degrees of separation.

There were long-time family restaurants, century-old businesses, and even a Woolworths with a lunch counter. When I got to Long Island I realized just how rural I really was. The culture, personality and faster lifestyle felt like I had jumped into a freezing cold swimming pool. I quickly recognized there was going to be an adjustment period; I just didn’t know how long that would be.

Luckily, I made fast friends with a few Islanders and some City people as well. They showed me around and it wasn’t long before I saw the sense of community from town to town, village to village. Remarkably, because I didn’t expect it, the Island was not all that different from my little hometown up north. Sure, things were faster and busier, but at the grass roots level, so to speak, people were just as community-centered as any rural locale. Generations of families grew up and lived in the same towns and they knew each other and care about their communities.

I have great memories of the Island and of Islanders, and I do miss the place.

I also miss doing Profiles for Island superintendents and commissioners. I know, it’s been awhile, but we’ve had some trouble lining up ones on Long Island. If you know someone whom you think deserves to be profiled, let us know. We’d be happy to pursue it.

And finally, we’re now a little more than a month away from the annual N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Expo in Syracuse. Look in next month’s Superintendent’s Profile for specific details, such as door prizes, lunch tickets and a comprehensive exhibitor listing. P

Director of Public Works ★

Brendt Bodine and the Village of Penn Yan

On May 13, 2014, when a total of five to nine inches of rain fell in just three hours in Penn Yan, the result was a flash flood. Swelling Jacob’s and Sucker Brooks surged into the village. The first calls for power lines down came in at 8:54 p.m. Flood-caused damages could take years to completely repair.

“Penn Yan was flooded badly in 1972 during Hurricane Agnes, but that event was anticipated, and the rain came down for days. Plus I was only six years old during Agnes,” said Brendt Bodine, director of public works of the village of Penn Yan. Brendt quickly became the de facto manager of the disaster, which was responded to not only by his department, but by the county, the county’s Office of Emergency Management, the fire department, law enforcement, Mennonite neighbors, various church groups, and even college students who mobilized to help clean up the wreckage.

Penn Yan (thought to be shorthand for “Pennsylvania Yankees”), with a population of 2,500, is surrounded by steep hills and located at the bottom of a natural, bowl-shaped, commercially strategic location with an outlet to Keuka Lake and access to Seneca Lake.

Unforgivably, just a little more than two days later on May 16, just as people had dealt with their losses, another heavy rain fell, and the water rose in the village once again.

For the first storm, which came without any warning, Brendt was caught unaware of the havoc that he would still be confronting months after the water receded. Debris quickly clogged storm sewers and uprooted drainage pipes, roads washed out, and basements flooded, taking out hot water heaters and furnaces in at least 250 homes. Fifteen houses were quickly condemned.

“It was around 10 p.m. when I got a call to go out. At the end of my driveway you could have ridden a kayak down the street. I get downtown and there are dumpsters floating by. Tanker trucks are floating. I knew we were in trouble. I called in the crew (five men including Brendt) and said there is nothing we can do right now but try to keep people safe,” he said. They worked relentlessly on the first flood from 10 p.m. until 8 p.m. the next night.

Don Rapalee, who has been street supervisor in the village since 2009, got the call about the same time as Brendt. He said of the village’s 400 catch basins, “They were plugging up and major flooding was taking place.

Certain basins are always trouble spots so we went there first, but the force of the water made us stop until it diminished in force. You have to let it do what it is going to do.” Given enough time, assessment efforts will lead to a recovery plan.

The water continued to flow, leaving behind its ugly stains on walls and oozing, heavy mud. Brendt said he worked throughout the night doing assessment patrols, mostly on foot and armed with a flashlight.

He said the water was rising so quickly that he had to constantly be aware of his surroundings.

“We had infrastructure (mostly electric poles) that were in danger of falling into the waterways. We had to shore them back up. We back-filled them after putting the poles back up straight as a temporary repair. For a more permanent solution we will be creating a box culvert around them. We had debris-blocking supports for the trestle pedestrian bridge, which was choking water from the outlet. The following day, at 8 a.m. we got another wave of rain.”

Brendt said they used two excavators to get the debris from beneath the trestle bridge to open up the flow. Fortunately, a level of gravel had been deposited nearby, creating a natural shoal for staging the heavy equipment. He said it took about two weeks to open up all the streets, but there are still lots of repairs left to do.

“A lot of shoulder work, sidewalks, and one wall on a stone culvert arch under the street,” he said. “Structurally it is OK, but the sidewalk fell off.”

The Owl’s Nest, once a famous hotel along the Crooked Lake Canal, was destroyed by the flash flood that inundated the village. Several weeks later, just about 24 hours before its scheduled demolition, the building caved in, falling into the village’s Main Street, taking out the power and several light posts.

Brendt described roads covered with debris, logs, gravel, and stone that needed to be opened up immediately for safety’s sake, if only just one lane. Initially the village was cut off from the east side because of high water in Jacob’s Brook. Firemen were positioned on that side of town in case of emergencies and to aid in sandbagging and help pump out basements. Outside the village, plenty of drainage pipes were dug up and driveways were completely washed out — leaving residents stranded, either at home or unable to get back in. The television media from Rochester swarmed the town looking for a good story.

On the private sector, Birkett Mills, built in the 1800s to take advantage of water power, had one wall in the boiler room blown out from the flood. Many homes are still uninhabitable. Some automobiles were crushed. Even inside the ever-popular Wagner Restaurant, where the waitresses are known to serve customers almost as fast as the drivethrough windows at a franchise, the water was several feet deep. A trucking company headquartered in the village had truck cabs underwater and cargo floating in some trailers. Depending on the insurance coverage, the company may not be back in business again.

Two months later, one street is still cordoned off because they had to cut out all the pavement at an intersection because a storm sewer blew.

That street in places is reduced to its historic red brick surface and requires repairs with back-filling and new asphalt. Several more electric poles started to lean dangerously, which required concrete blocks to be put into place and major back-filling. In time, Brendt said, they will 18

make more permanent repairs with box culverts around the poles.

The expense to the village to date is $2.5 million. County-wide the damage was estimated at $28.9 million.

Calling in the DOT and Office of Emergency Management Bill McNamara, civil engineer with the DOT, headquartered near Painted Post, has dealt with other flash floods in Steuben and Broome Counties as well as other places. His attendance in Penn Yan this spring lasted about six days. Bill took part in daily meetings with Brendt and the Yates County Office of Emergency Management. People who participated felt that the daily personnel meetings immediately following the storms were instrumental in quickly getting the village back on track even as culverts were being washed out and storm sewers swelled.

Bringing order to chaos became the new normal here.

“This was a test,” said one person involved in the recovery efforts.

“You can’t really practice or have drills for this kind of stuff.”

After about a week of face-to-face meetings with township and village officials, the fire department, law enforcement, church agencies, DPW, DOT, and emergency management, everyone involved gradually returned to telephone and email to keep in touch.

“Communication was a big part of it. We pitch in and help our neighbors. That’s what we have always done here,” said one lifelong resident continued on page 40

Diesel Particulate filters (DPF’s) are designed to remove particulate matter in diesel exhaust. In a correctly operating vehicle, soot captured in the DPF is periodically burned during normal operation. Engine wear, corrosion and combustion of engine lubricants result in ash accumulation in the filter. Over time this ash increases the backpressure on the engine lowering the fuel efficiency. Complete, thorough removal of this ash is essential for operating efficiency of the engine as well as optimizing the length of time between service intervals.

SERVING MUNICIPALITIES SINCE 1976 39

from page 18 “Keep Out” became a common message in this normally tourist-friendly village.

“These storms that hit us were not predicted.”

Brian Winslow Rescue Worker

on the team.

Bill McNamara described his initial reaction: “You never know what is happening right in front of you until the water recedes.”

In this instance the water diminished and then came right back up again during a second storm just two days after the first event. Despite lots of scouring in the ditches, the state roads held up “pretty well,” he said. As for tips, he said it helps to have people on board with many “life experiences,” adding, “We worked really well together. You probably couldn’t have planned for it because of the size of the event.”

It is a point of pride with everyone involved that no one was seriously injured or died. The storm began on a Tuesday, and by the following Monday, school was back in session again after all the streets were open.

Diane Caves is the deputy director of the Yates County Office of Emergency Management, which is headquartered in Penn Yan. Diane was in a meeting at the fire hall in nearby Branchport when she was called in for the flood. By the time she drove to Penn Yan in 10 inches of water, the debris was beginning to block the culverts, and water was going to other places and causing erosion as it swept through. Diane, her boss Brian Winslow, and others spent the entire night fielding phone calls. Dispatchers received approximately 1,000 telephone calls during the first 36 hours of the original event, while 911 recorded 2,000 calls.

Diane clearly remembers one senior who broke down in tears saying she and her husband, who uses an oxygen canister, were doing OK cleaning up after the big storm until the second storm put a tree through the basement window and completely flooded their living space.

Months later, code enforcement officials are still determining which buildings are still uninhabitable.

“These things tugged at your heart,” said Diane. “Being part of the response was really empowering by coordinating and meeting those human needs.”

Then Lieutenant Governor Bob Duffy, who coincidentally owns 40

property on Keuka Lake, came to Penn Yan in the immediate aftermath of the storm. He managed to secure grant money up to $10,000 for homeowners and up to $25,000 for businesses who apply for it. In July, the village received federal disaster funding to help in its recovery.

Mennonites are a big part of life in Penn Yan, living high above the village on farms they work with horses. Since they couldn’t work their fields because they were under water, the Mennonite community was well equipped with manpower to help others hurt by the floods. Diane described their efforts as “working like a bee hive,” as they took a list of things to do and quickly checked each chore off the list. Another group that was invaluable on the private side of things was a Methodist ministry called The Living Well. These folks organized all the volunteers, which included lots of college students. If people needed food, clothing, and supplies, The Living Well met those needs, no questions asked. The Salvation Army also had a food truck on site to support the rescue workers.

Brian Winslow heads emergency services in Yates County. As a retired full-time deputy sheriff (still part-time) and current volunteer fire chief, he can handle a crisis, or he thought he could. He probably never imagined having to order an 18-wheeler full of traffic cones or using prisoners to help fill sand bags. “Everybody,” he said, “was caring and concerned.”

“These storms that hit us were not predicted. Sharing services was a big help. Dundee, for one, had a brand new inflatable boat they had coincidentally acquired that week. They inflated it that night and had to take some people out of the second floor of their homes,” Brian said.

TOUGH CUSTOMERS And this is the audience to whom you need to sell – the town meeting crowd, the selectmen, the planning board, downtown business owners. These are the people you need to convince, persuade and please, and on whose vote hinges your operation. You live with them, shop with them, eat with them, and have gone to school with them maybe. Doesn’t matter. And doesn’t help.

On the contrary. You are held to different standards. And that grandmotherly looking lady in the back? She’s the one who has memorized all the estimates and proposals and can quote back from six years ago when she interrogates you about the service invoices for the town’s equipment.

We understand that this type of environment leaves no room for error or for second guessing.

You have to be able to choose an equipment supplier on whom you can count, come hell or high water – stable, not afraid to invest in training and technology, running a sound operation and staffed to support you in the unique ways you need to be supported. Because sooner or later you may be called to explain your choices, in great detail, in front of a pretty tough group of customers.

These are the people you need to convince, persuade and please, and on whose vote hinges your operation. You live with them, shop with them, eat with them, and have gone to school with them maybe. Doesn’t matter. And doesn’t help.

On the contrary. You are held to different standards. And that grandmotherly looking lady in the back? She’s the one who has memorized all the estimates and proposals and can quote back from six years ago when she interrogates you about the service invoices for the town’s equipment.

We understand that this type of environment leaves no room for error or for second guessing.

You have to be able to choose an equipment supplier on whom you can count, come hell or high water – stable, not afraid to invest in training and technology, running a sound operation and staffed to support you in the unique ways you need to be supported. Because sooner or later you may be called to explain your choices, in great detail, in front of a pretty tough group of customers.

Reflections on a village that is registered on the National Register of Historic Places, which recognizes its watery beauty.

One of two wooden planked pedestrian bridges that the DPW maintains is part of the village nature trail, which runs for about seven miles from Penn Yan to Dresden.

ment, Brendt trained as an EMT for 10 years, five of which were as a paramedic, which helped him assess the flood’s quickly moving situation. He said watching his neighbors suffer during the flood caused him significant personal pain. Brendt became an assistant in the DPW in 2009 and became director in February 2010.

While in college he earned a degree in electrical engineering from Gannon University in Erie, Pa., and worked in that field for several years.

“I really like the diversity of this job. For most of my career the focus has been on the electrical side. This job has given me the opportunity to learn more about electric, but also about streets, water, and waste water.

It has also taught me how to work with people, including employees and the public.”

He said his background as an engineer helps immensely in directing the multitude of DPW assignments and being the go-to guy for approximately 50 employees.

Once upon a time a favorite uncle once sat in his seat. Wes Ryder ran the DPW for many years. His photograph sits not far from the desk where Wes himself once directed public works.

On the master plan for Penn Yan are several initiatives to bring the town closer to its lakefront on Keuka Lake. Long an active place for boat building (remember Penn Yan boats?) and pleasure boating, Keuka Lake was once used a lot to transport goods, which was often easier than using pioneer-built roads. Now we know that any water-centered development leads to increased activity, especially for tourism, which is one of upstate’s emerging mega-trends to sweeten the state’s bottom line.

“We are working toward improving the access from the lake to downtown along the outlet that connects Keuka and Seneca Lakes. On the waterfront there is a developer looking to put in 30 condominiums and a four-story hotel with 75 rooms. The property was acquired by Yates County; it used to be Penn Yan Boats.”

As the project progresses, Brendt and various crews will be putting in sewer lines and doing street rebuilds and resurfacing. “Before the flood,”

he said, “we already had $2.5 million in improvements to do. Penn Yan has 26 total lanes miles of streets (what are called roads in the country are called streets in a village) and follows a paving plan. The village’s street budget is a million dollars. CHIPS is responsible for $100,000.

The village’s entire DPW budget is $700,000.

Maintenance on the wooden plank-floored pedestrian bridge is part of the DPW’s schedule.

Streets — Twenty-Six Lane Miles of Them Are the streets in good shape?

“Depends on who you are talking to,” Brendt said. “We have an approach. We don’t like to put a new top on a road unless the infrastructure beneath it is good. There are plenty of roads that even before the flood weren’t in good shape in terms of infrastructure. For example, we have one street that needs to be repaired, but it has a four-inch water line beneath it with lots of breaks. We do have a block grant in the works to improve it with the water main replaced. Until then we wedge it, and top continued on page 62

Case Now Offers New Snow Removal Package for SR250, SV300 Skid Steers

The new snow removal package includes high-flow auxiliary hydraulics that provide up to 37.6 gpm (142 L) for use with snow blowers and brushes.

Case Construction Equipment has released a new snow removal package for the SR250 and SV300 skid steers that optimizes the machine for snow removal applications and simplifies the ordering process through the Case dealer network.

The 90 hp SR250 (radial lift) from Case Construction Equipment offers a rated operating capacity of 2,500 lbs. (2,700 lbs. with optional counterweight) and breakout force of 7,480 lbs. The 90 hp SV300 (vertical lift) offers a rated operating capacity of 3,000 lbs. (3,200 lbs. with optional counterweight) and a breakout force of 7,570 lbs.

The new snow removal package includes high-flow auxiliary hydraulics that provide up to 37.6 gpm (142 L) for use with snow blowers and brushes. The package also comes with hydraulic self-leveling and ride control, both ideal for smooth and controlled boom operation while engaged and while traveling. The new package also includes an enclosed cab and a heated air-ride suspension seat for optimal operator comfort during long days of working in cold environments. It also comes with a block heater to assist in cold starts, and a 4-corner LED strobe kit and heavy-duty lighting package/side lamp kit for optimal visibility — both for the operator and for drivers/pedestrians in the area.

The package also comes with larger tires (14 X 17.5) for more speed and 56

power while working on paved surfaces. A heavy-duty rear door and hydraulic couplers further add to the package’s reliability.

The SR250 and SV300 also are outfitted with a new EZ EH (electrohydraulic) setup menu that features nine preset speed and control settings that can be adjusted on the fly. This allows the operator to match controls to their preference. A single rocker switch allows operators to switch between the CASE “H” operating pattern and ISO pattern controls. New handles with additional “feel points” improve controllability and feathering.

The SR250 and SV300 also offer one of the widest cabs in the industry at nearly 3 ft. (.9 m). The cab is fully sealed and pressurized against noise, dust and fumes. The cab-forward design provides best-in-class visibility, and the low step and entry threshold makes it easy for the operator to get in and out of the cab. As with all Case skid steers, the engine, filters and fill points are all located at the rear of the machine for easy access.

JCB Launches Its First Conventional Zero Tail Swing Compact Excavator With New 8029 CTS Model

Digging depth for the 8029 CTS is 10 ft. (3 m) and the machine offers a load over height of 10 ft. 6 in. (3.2 m).

JCB launched its first conventional tail swing compact excavator in the 3.0 ton (2.7 t) North American market, with the launch of the 8029 CTS. Powered by a transverse 25 hp (18.4 kW) engine, the excavator has a tail swing just 18.5 in. (47 cm) longer than the 8025 ZTS zero tail swing machine. Despite these compact dimensions it boasts a 19 percent higher lift capacity and an 82 percent improvement in lift capacity over the tracks.

Digging depth for the 8029 CTS is 10 ft. (3 m) and the machine offers a load over height of 10 ft. 6 in. (3.2 m). Excellent bucket rotation and class-leading breakout force results in high productivity when digging, according to the manufacturer. In addition the machine can be supplied with a wide range of JCB attachments, each specifically designed to work with the excavator’s powerful hydraulic system.

The compact excavator boasts a sturdy fabricated box boom design with a slim construction that provides increased visibility to the digging area, improving productivity. All of dig end hoses are routed through the inside of the boom, offering protection when digging in narrow trenches. Single side grease points have been introduced on the excavator arm pins, simplifying daily greasing for quicker and easier dig end maintenance. A new undercarriage with three bottom rollers, plus one on top, coupled with heavy-duty idler guides, provides smooth travel across site and excellent tractive ability in tough site conditions. Tracking speed and tractive effort are both increased over the zero tail swing 8025 ZTS model.

Operator Cab The JCB compact excavator cab is one of the largest on the market, with a wide door opening for safe entry and exit. There is ample leg room due to a seat which can be adjusted a further 2.1 in. (5.3 cm) rearwards compared to the 8025 ZTS. The cab floor is flat and easy to clean and flat glass has been maintained throughout for low cost replacement.

The offset pedal is combined with the auxiliary on the right hand side of the cab floor. This maximizes the space available in the cab, providing unrestricted entry, and allows for easy cab floor cleaning.

A new hydraulic valve with longer spools delivers smoother controllability, increased load holding capability and full power multi-function use while straight line tracking. All hydraulic services are disabled including the dig end joysticks, tracking levers, boom swing and auxiliary pedals when the left hand pod is raised for optimum safety, removing the risk of inadvertent operation of the machine.

To ensure the rear of the 8029 CTS is among the strongest and most protected in the industry, JCB has opted for a solid cast counterweight, which will withstand the harshest of impacts and operating environments. New rubber cab mounts reduce vibration and cut internal noise levels to just 77dB(A). The entire cab structure is isolated from the swing motor frame to minimize vibration.

it, and patch it. A lot of potholes have been filled in, but it takes money and time to resurface. Overall I’d like to say we take a proactive approach to our streets.”

“The flood kind of sucker punched us. It accelerated the damage on streets that we hoped would last a lot longer because of all that water washing over the top of them.”

Penn Yan’s street crew includes a foreman and five heavy-equipment operators.

“One thing I am proud of,” Brendt said, “is leveraging the NYS Office of General Services for a purchasing price on new trucks. When the resale value is just below the purchase price of a new one (roughly three years) we trade it in for a new one.”

“The flood kind of sucker punched us.

It accelerated the damage on streets that we hoped would last a lot longer because of all that water washing over the top of them.”

Brendt Bodine

The situation is not as rosy in the sweeper department.

“We were hurting for a sweeper,” he said. A new 159,600 Ravl is expected in time for fall's falling leaves. They are also replacing a bucket truck. Two material handlers, an aerial bucket truck and a larger truck, are destined for the electric crew.

He cited the comparative ease of replacing a pickup truck, which is less complicated than heavy equipment, where the number of hours and market changes largely determine the cost of replacement. He uses information from department heads about the replacement cycle. The payloaders and Bobcats are replaced annually.

In addition to being responsible for an older active cemetery, his department also maintains two lakefront parks and some other smaller, well-used neighborhood parks. He said he just closed a grant for $300,000 to rebuild one of the waterfront parks.

“We replaced the bath house and completely redid the parking lot.”

He said the old bath house was run down and located right near the road; it blocked the view of the lake.

The crew helps groom a five-mile-long nature trail, favored by walkers and bikers, along an old railroad bed from Penn Yan to Dresden. He said much of it was asphalt but he eventually used some grant money to mill it and turn it into a cinder trail while repaving the path closest to the village and boat launch. He explained that tree roots continually pushed up the asphalt, causing a nuisance and a potentially dangerous situation.

They also care for two wooden-decked pedestrian bridges that are part of the nature trail.

For routine communication they use cell phones and radios.

“I wish we used radios exclusively. Cell phones can be very frustrating in an emergency situation.” continued on page 66 62

Repairs are under way where this sewer blew out because of the flooding. Both flood waters and the repairs reveal the previous street treatment — red brick. Brick making was once a vibrant industry here.

Pipes like these were routinely shoved out of the ground by floodwaters that changed the normal routine for highway crews.

The crises caused by flooding also helped him further appreciate the value of shared services for manpower and equipment and cites Yates County and the towns and villages of Milo, Jerusalem, Torrey, Barrington, and Potter as being especially supportive.

Every village and town is being asked to work with fewer people. An office staff of 10 helps run Brendt’s well-oiled department. Those workers, in addition to being personally involved, are often part of the matrix that unfolds as rescue operations are assigned to somebody’s budget. For example, when additional dumpsters were requested, whose budget was going to pay for them? During emergencies it is easy to lose track.

Everybody involved in this disaster has been told to hang on to every piece of paper the emergency generates.

As for electric, Penn Yan has municipal electric, and DPW services 3,300 electric meters. The peak load in winter is about 20- to 21megawatts. Penn Yan’s water plant, also run by the DPW, takes its water from Keuka Lake.

Because the sewer system is old, Brendt said it needs “tender loving care.” A year ago, the village did a house-to-house home inspection for possible violations. When they found homeowners pumping water (for example from sump pumps) into the sewer system (which is illegal to do), the residents got a letter mandating that they fix the situation. He said the homeowners were taught how to reroute the water to the storm sewer system mainly through catch basins in the roads if necessary because it can cause lots of problems if the treatment plant is taxed over capacity, especially during a rain event. His current chart of the entire vil66

lage is color coded to show properties that were inspected and reinspected following the mandate.

“The message was conveyed very well,” he said. “It reduced a problem and delayed the need to upgrade a plant to treat what is basically rain water at an additional cost to the residents.” continued on page 68

A Quiet-Spoken Family Man Brendt described his family as “a very wonderful family. My wife is a great lady.”

Brendt’s wife, Tracy, whom he met in junior high school, is a physician’s assistant in an OB/GYN practice. He has two sons and a daughter who was born in China. Brendt and Tracy spent 14 days in China to receive their one-year-old daughter, now age 10. He calls her a whipper-snapper. Their oldest son has moved on to a job in California, where he works for IBM. If Brendt has a hobby other than an occasional golf game and some hunting and fishing, it is puttering around the house.

Following Flood Waters Even two months after the flood, the water’s devastation continues to wreak havoc.

In Penn Yan, one of the hardest-hit commercial buildings was the Owl’s Nest, an old one built along what was then a boat basin. Just 24 hours before the Owl’s Nest was due for total demolition, it collapsed and fell into Seneca Street, taking two light poles with it.

“I was pretty flabbergasted,” Brendt said.

“It just collapsed due to all the water I had seen surging through it.” continued on page 70

“It has hurt to see people I’ve known all my life have their lives disrupted by the floods.”

Brendt Bodine

(Yates County Emergency Management photo) East Elm Street at night during the height of the recent flooding.

The electric wires were live.

“The first step is to get everything de-energized. We got the wires grounded. We got the debris cleaned up and the wires disconnected.

Then we reset new poles.”

The building fell around 7 p.m. on a Saturday night. By Sunday morning, he said, they had the street back up and working. “That was a long night,” he said.

“It has hurt to see people I’ve known all my life have their lives disrupted by the floods. For a lot of them this is all they know. And when the weather starts getting colder I am worried we will see basically homeless people taking shelter in buildings that have been condemned.

I still get nervous when they say it is going to rain.”

About the Village Penn Yan Sucker Brook and Jacob’s Brook, which flow south through the village and empty into the Keuka Lake outlet, were the principal sources of recent flooding in Penn Yan. Both brooks, and the power they once generated, were the main reason the village was established where it lies today.

It was the reports of Indian attacks that caused George Washington and Congress to send General John Sullivan and 5,000 men to central New York in 1779 to rout the Native Americans. Soldiers burned and pillaged Indian settlements from Elmira (then called Newton) to the shores of Seneca Lake. Following a well-worn tale here in upstate, soldiers returning from that assault were quick to come back to make their homes in this rich and beautiful land. The government encouraged their settlements as a buffer against British encroachment.

Penn Yan remains an iconic upstate village. At least 210 structures on 65 acres helped determine the village’s national historic status. Rife with important 19th- and 20th-century buildings that represent ecclesiastical, 70

commercial, industrial, and residential uses, Penn Yan exudes charm.

The noted architecture dating from 1820 to 1929 reflect Federal, Greek Revival, Second Empire, Romanesque, Eastlake, Queen Anne, Georgian Revival, and Neoclassical architecture, spanning almost 200 years of building styles.

One inspired local builder did such a distinctive job creating summerbreeze-catching porches with elaborate scrolled brackets, colonnettes, and round or ogee arches, that the structures became known as the Penn Yan porch.

One building right on Main Street, Birkett Mills, is one of the largest active historic mills in the country. Their buckwheat pancake mix is widely available in grocery stores and on the Internet.

Many commercial buildings made from brick reflect the many brickyards that once were located in or near the village. The use of this fireproof material helped spare this part of the village from the fires that ravaged other structures in 1831.

Land agents Oliver Phelps and Nathaniel Gorham bought the original land from the Indians of the Six Nations of the Iroquois in 1788. The purchase was for more than two million acres of land between Lake Ontario and Pennsylvania west of the pre-emption line, which ran north-south slightly west of Seneca Lake.

The first individual landowner in the area that is now Penn Yan was George Wheeler, whose purchase in 1791 encompassed what is now the village. Water power was always critical to settlement. Lewis Birdsall built the first saw mill in 1792. Other pioneers built mills along both sides of the outlet. The Keuka Outlet, a seven-mile channel of water connecting Keuka and Seneca Lakes, harnessed power for many mills, distilleries, asheries, and tanneries. The manufacture of paper, linseed oil, continued on page 74

wool products, wagons, and carriages all contributed a pioneer success story.

The creation of the Crooked Lake Canal (its name describing the Yshape of Keuka Lake), completed in 1833, represented a high-water mark of achievement for the village. With 27 locks to facilitate a dramatic drop of 269 feet over an eight-mile length, the canal supported economic growth by linking Penn Yan and Dresden. The canal, in operation for 40 years, was abandoned in 1877. Railroads quickly obtained rights of way along the outlet—now transformed into the same nature trail so popular with outdoor enthusiasts today.

Roads paved the way to more development. Abraham Wagener, who built the area’s first frame house in 1800, was instrumental in surveying and constructing a highway from Canandaigua to Elmira. The road came through Penn Yan, and a post office was stationed in Wagener’s homestead. He also laid out Main Street and in 1823 donated two acres of land for the county buildings. That same year Yates County was formally organized by an act of the New York State Legislature and incorporated in 1833. The village is still the county seat, resulting in a more robust downtown than some other villages of the same size.

Timbers continued to be raised to build mills along the outlet while the commercial sections of the village grew thanks to its proximity to a popular stagecoach route. Because of its prime location on a major north-south trade route that connected cities on the eastern seaboard to the interior of central and northern New York state, the village thrived.

Today Penn Yan lies primarily in the town of Milo, with a small section in the town of Benton, and a still smaller section in the town of Jerusalem.

Among many notable pioneers were the followers of Jemima Wilkinson, a religious enthusiast from Rhode Island who led a group called the Society of Universal Friends. Jemima is known as the first American-born woman to found a religious group. Following General Sullivan’s trail in 1788, she and her followers first settled in Torrey, and due to land disputes, two years later they settled a large tract of land in 74

Jerusalem. In 1794 after more land disputes, she again moved her community and founded the village of Hopeton at the outlet of Keuka Lake.

Jemima gathered her flock there until her death in 1819, and gradually the community disbanded.

The name Penn Yan is said to come from “Pennsylvania Yankee,” reflecting the origins of the village’s earliest settlers — Pennsylvania and New England (Yankees). More recent arrivals, beginning around 1974, have been a steady influx of Mennonite and Amish seeking inexpensive but productive farmland. Their homes are easily spotted by the enormous amounts of laundry on complicated clotheslines and the buggies parked in the driveways. Always industrious, these farmers were instrumental in bailing out their neighbors following the recent floods.

Boat enthusiasts may also recognize the village’s name in the Penn Yan Boat Company founded by Charles A. Herman in 1921. They continued to manufacture boats on the outlet until 2001.

Wild grapes have always thrived in abundance here. Viticulture (grapes and wine) has long been an important part of the agricultural landscape. At first the market was table grapes, carried to market by boat and rail. In the 1860s the Seneca Lake and Wine Company got the area started in making commercially available wine. In addition to thousands of acres of grapes surrounding the hillsides, which makes this an exceptionally picturesque place to visit, more small wineries with visitor shops and restaurants are opening every year.

In order to ship grapes, another business took hold — basket manufacturing. To protect perishable fruit, the Hopkins Brothers founded the first basket factory in 1866. The growth of the grape industry also sparked the number of commercial boats on the lakes.

Today, both the wine industry and the lovely waters of Keuka continue to please visitors and summer residents who help to just about double the population in summer and fall. Among the village notables of national stature are three U.S. congressmen, an NFL running back, and a Wisconsin state assemblyman. P

Long Island Freightliner Founder Brings Lifetime of Experience to Business

Long Island Freightliner has had tremendous success in supplying trucks to governmental agencies on the Island.

Peter Nettesheim, president of Long Island Freightliner, has a lifetime of experience in municipal truck sales and support on Long Island.

He started working at his father’s Long Island truck dealership, Syosset Truck Sales, and International truck dealership in 1976. His father, Vern, who is 87 years old, to this day is still active at that dealership.

Vern Nettesheim started in the truck sales business in 1953, and surprisingly at that time, there were more than 20 commercial truck dealerships on Long Island. At Syosset, Peter and his brother, Mike, under the tutelage of their father, learned all phases of the family business. In 1969, Syosset took on the Mercedes truck line, in addition to the International franchise. In 1985, Daimler Benz, parent company of the Mercedes Benz Truck Co., purchased the West Coast Freightliner Company and began distributing both the Mercedes Benz truck products and the Freightliner truck products together, in the United States, under the name “Freightliner Trucks.” By 1988, Freightliner insisted that dealers representing more than one truck franchise splinter and move under separate roofs. As a result, Peter decided to separate from his father and brother’s business and start Long Island Freightliner, which originally operated in Riverhead, N.Y. In 1994, the company relocated to its current location at 1365 Lakeland Ave., Bohemia, N.Y. Today, the company’s 30,000 sq.ft. facility is located on a 4-acre lot with 35 employees “Today, besides the incredible engineering and workmanship of the Freightliner product, I feel that our dealerships’ wealth of technological knowledge and tremendous product support is what we are really bringing to the table for our municipal customers,” said Peter Nettesheim.

“Over the last 16 years, we have specialized in using outside-of-the-box thinking and technical knowledge to resolve the problems and challenges of Long Island’s municipalities. For example, townships on Long Island have really been ahead of the curve with their concern for vehicles reducing emissions and being eco-friendly. We have been a leader on the island in converting diesel engines to compressed natural gas.

With today’s GHG14 (green house gas compliant, 2014) engines we are 76

Walter Levins (L) and Peter Nettesheim, founder and president of Long Island Freightliner.

confident that the emissions from these trucks are as low or possibly even lower than those of the trucks we converted to compressed natural gas.”

The success that Long Island Freightliner has had in supplying trucks to governmental agencies on the Island has been very satisfying, added Nettesheim.

“Today, I can confidently state that we have Freightliner trucks in almost every municipality on Long Island,” he said. “Much of that credit goes to the Freightliner product. The aluminum cabs make the trucks highly resistant to the corrosive effects of salt and liquid brine. The cab design also provides great visibility for the truck operators and has plenty of room for a three-man crew.”

Long Island Freightliner recently won the Suffolk County Contract #26-13.12.19 dump trucks with plow options — five different configurations ranging from 36,000 GVW 6 wheelers to 78,000 GVW 10 wheelers. “With contract piggy backing, we are making these trucks available to any New York State municipality without a bidding process,” said Nettesheim.
