Craig Mongeau
Recently, we had a conversation in our editorial department about
what each of us thought has been the most important technological
invention in our lifetimes (our ages span 24 years to 50 years old.)
One said cell phones; one said the Internet; another said caller ID; and
I said widespread ATM availability. There are lots of answers, of course.
The home computer (and workplace computers), GPS, hybrid technol-
ogy, and even the 500 or so cable channels we can get now are among a
slew of them.
I remember when many of these technologies were emerging and
people were saying how they’d make our lives easier. Alternatively, peo-
ple also were saying how we’d lose jobs because of automation in man-
ufacturing. The latter, for the most part, came true; we lost production
line jobs. The former is less clear cut. Sure, the Internet has saved us time
by not having to go to the library and dealing with the Dewey Decimal
System. Not having to wait in a long bank line on Friday afternoon or
early Saturday morning to get enough money out to last through Sunday
is nice. And knowing if you want to pick up the phone has saved us hav-
ing to make up excuses to get off of it when we answer it. But when it
comes to the workplace, whether or not technology has made our lives
easier really depends on whether or not you love what you do.
If you do, then the incessant connectivity to the workplace is a god-
send. After all, if it’s a passion, then you can’t get enough of it.
Conversely, all those digital ties to the workplace, with e-mails, cell
phones, logging onto the server remotely and so on, can burn you out in
a hurry, if you don’t love what you do. It’s this last part that I don’t
remember hearing anything about back when people were saying that all
of this was going to be great for us. Today, because of this, kids (and
adults, too), more than ever before, really need to find what it is they’re
good at doing and what doesn’t feel like work when they do it. It’s not
easy to find this and make it work, but work and technology will contin-
ue to evolve and what seems certain is that both are inching closer to a
24/7 lifestyle. P

Rick Thompsonand the Village of Ardsley
For Rick
Thompson the road
to the village of
Ardsley highway department was paved with
seafood, hamburgers and fried chicken. After
discovering — and pursuing — his love for
food and cooking, he joined forces with the
highway department. Now, roughly 40 years
later, he still gains satisfaction from both.
Rick grew up in Kings Park, Long Island, a
small town in Smithtown. The oldest of five
brothers, he attended Kings Park High School.
Following graduation, he attended Suffolk

County Community College, where he earned an associate’s degree in
business.
“While I was in college I was working in the restaurant business. One
summer they wanted me to train as a cook. I went behind the line and
got hooked.”
That was an understatement. “I owned a few restaurants. One was a
theme-type eatery called Bentley’s. Then I traveled to Columbus, Ga.,
and worked for the Simon Malone chain. After that, I came back to New
York and opened another Bentley’s in Portchester. It was a real neigh-
borhood tavern and restaurant. Next, I went to work for Tony Roma’s
followed by the Horn and Hardart franchise in New York City, where I
served as general manager at their Broadway and 48th Street location
right in Times Square. At the end, I went to work for another TRF in
Queens, became district manager and ran eight locations.”
So how did Rick end up as highway superintendent for the village of
Ardsley?
“A laborer’s position opened up with the village. I jumped on board
because by then I was married with two young kids. I wanted out of the
restaurant business. I didn’t want to become a slave to it. My first job
with the village was in 1998, riding on the back of a garbage truck.
Shortly thereafter, I joined the highway crew and started learning the
ropes. In 2005, the deputy superintendent, Ronald Scencen, left and I
was promoted to his position. I worked as the number two man under
Louis Pascone before replacing him in 2010.”
For Rick, the journey was a natural progression.
“I was always happy I took the position. I had a lot of ideas. I’d seen
a lot of things over the years and there were some things I wanted to
change. My predecessor was here for 61 years. He was pretty much
stuck in the 1940s in his operations and the way he ran things. The vil-
lage board went along with it. That’s why we got into some of the situ-

ations we’re in now, like outdated trucks and in a temporary garage since
1978.”
In an attempt to turn things around, Rick began addressing quality of
life issues.
“The parks were being let go. Part of the Saw Mill River runs through
here, so we started doing a lot of work on the banks and clearing debris
because flooding is a major issue here. When Louis was here there was-
n’t any pre or preventative maintenance. We had the Army Corps of
Engineers implement a Flood Control Project to keep Route 9A from
flooding out. We never made much of an effort before, but we do now.”
In his spare time, this highway superintendent finds his plate over-
flowing as he generously gives back to the community.
“I prepare three dinners at the firehouse for the seniors. We also get
about 80 to 90 seniors for a spring and Christmas dinner and a summer
barbecue down at the park. Every Memorial Day, prior to the parade, I
make breakfast for all the veterans before they march. Afterwards, I cook
about 1,000 hot dogs and hand them out to the crowd.
“I also work on the ‘Stuff the Bus’ Pajama Program three times a year.
They get a couple of school buses and residents donate books and new
pajamas. The woman who coordinates it has all these orphanages and
agencies and they send a list of what they need, the ages and sex. We fill
the orders, put them in boxes and deliver them.”
If that’s not enough to tire a person out, Rick is the fire marshal for
the village of Ardsley. He cooks for the Panther Society, which is a group
of parents who cook at football games and wrestling and basketball tour-
naments. All the money raised goes to scholarships. In addition, he’s a
former ASP soccer, CYO basketball and Ardsley Little League softball
coach.
“I guess I am pretty busy. No wonder I’m tired all the time.”
Rick chuckles when asked about retirement. “I would like to stay
another 10 years, but I don’t know if I see that. It would be my choice.
I’ve worked pretty hard all my life. As rewarding as this job can be, I
think it’s time for a little ‘me’ time. I would love to move down south,
play a lot of golf and spend time at the beach.”
When the time comes for Rick to call it a day, he would like to be
remembered as “someone who was fair, honest and hard-working.”
All in a Day’s Work The highway department’s facilities include eight buildings and a salt
shed. “
The garage is a big pain with us here. We’re in a Quonset hut right
along the NYS Thruway. When we moved here in 1978, it was supposed
to be a temporary location. Do I need to say more?” he said, chuckling.
“It’s not even the village’s property. It’s the Thruway’s and we have a
permit to be here. Not much you can do with it. It’s a long, straight, tin
building. Looks a little like an Army Quonset hut. It’s one big, long bay.
There’s a double door in the back where we can get a garbage truck in,
but other than that, if you want to get something out of the middle you
have to pull everything out.
“There’s been a lot of discussion about it. One of the biggest problems
here in Ardsley is most of the real estate is gone. Where would you even

Modernizing the department’s equipment has been a priority for Rick Thompson. Here is the department’s 2013 Ford F350.

put a garage anymore? The new administrator is very sharp and she’s got
a lot of good, creative ideas. I think she’ finally going to get us out of
here — one way or another.”
The department’s salt shed houses roughly 350 tons of salt.
“That wouldn’t be enough for an average winter. We get several
deliveries throughout the season. Our budget goes from June to June,
which makes it a little easier because come December we start planning
our budget for June, which is a slower time. We’re not getting battered
with storms.”
As superintendent, it is Rick’s job to maintain the town’s 23.9 lane
miles of road; all of which are paved. That translates into six plowing
routes that take about 20 minutes to clear.
Rick relies on his staff of 15 full-time employees to serve the town’s
8,000 residents. His crew includes Patrick Lindsay, deputy; Anthony
Bailey, head mechanic; Norman Wilson, assistant mechanic; Dennis
Kopek and George Kaiser; heavy machine equipment operators; Joe
Galluccio, Evo Riguzzi, Russ Coapman, Mark Florkowski, Bill Watson
and Joe Corvino, skilled laborers; and Rich Denike, Rob Wootten, Vic
Bailey and Steve Marsek, laborers.
“Most of the guys have been here 15 years or better. They’ve been a
great crew for me and I appreciate their hard work and what they do on
a daily basis.”
The village of Ardsley’s highway department functions on a total
operating budget of $2,019,550 that includes salaries and benefits for
employees and an annual CHIPS allocation of $85,000.
Rick admits his restaurant experience “is a giant plus when it comes
to running the highway department. I run it like I run a business. I’m
responsible for a lot of cost centers (like a budget line). We’re a small vil-
lage. We run everything out of this garage. We handle sanitation, recy-
cling, street lighting, storm sewers, everything but water.”
To help carry out its duties the department uses a bevy of equipment
that consists of, in part:
• 1995 Mack dump trucks (2)
• 1996 Mack garbage trucks (8)
• 1997 Mack garbage trucks (12)
• 2003 Mack garbage trucks (14)
• 2004 Jeeps (2)
• 2004 Ford Crown Victoria
• 2005 Mack garbage trucks (15)
• 2007 Ford F450 small dump trucks (7)
• 2007 Ford F350 lift gates (4)
• 2008 International dump truck
• 2009 International dump trucks (11)

Every highway superintendent prides themselves in having an up-to-
date fleet. For Rick, that is easier said than done.
“About 80 percent of our fleet sits outside because not everything fits
in the garage. Because of that, we have to replace them more frequent-
ly. We’re a small village and our tax base is next to nothing. There’s no
industry, no real business, so the majority of the income comes from the
taxpayers.
“Last winter, it was taking me six hours longer than it should have to
clean up after storms because I had four trucks down at a time and tied
up in the garage. There’s only so much room to work on them, number
one, and everything was aging out. So we made a big push and have
three new vehicles coming next year. They’ll have stainless steel bodies.
Now they have metal bodies with a lot of rust. You can imagine plow-
ing with a truck that’s all rusted, even with the undercoating. Salt is like
acid. It eats through everything.”
This was the first year Rick submitted a 10-year capital plan.
“Our new village administrator had us file it. She has some foresight
and knows how to plan, so I think we’ll start to see things turn around. I
put in for two more vehicles next year and spread the rest out over the
next 10 years.
Rick agrees today’s equipment has come a long way.
“On a whole, it’s simpler to operate. All the spreaders are computer-
ized. Sometimes it takes the guys four or five trips out before they get
the hang of it. Once they get over that hump, they actually can control
what they’re spreading. It makes it easier and saves a lot of product.”
Technology also has changed the way Rick does his job and the high-
way department operates.
“It’s changed everything. It’s made things easier and is factored into
nearly everything we do. Scheduling, budget, payroll, are all computer-
ized now. Nothing’s handwritten anymore. You’re not a slave to your
desk, writing paper after paper. Except for two drawers of files, every-
thing is right at your fingertips on a hard drive. If we were still using pen-
cil, paper and eraser it would take forever.”
On the flip side, the most difficult part of Rick’s job has been doing
more with less.
“Until the new administrator came along, the most difficult part was
getting all our work done with aging or no equipment. When I first took
over, my inventory and equipment were next to nothing. I’ve been
adding as we go along, but people don’t seem to understand. You need
the right tool for the right job. We’d be going out patching potholes and
instead of having a vibrating tamper to compact them in, we had this old
metal roller that weighed a ton. Guys were breaking their backs lifting it
in and out of the truck and it did a lousy job. But that’s the way they did
it for 30 years and that’s the way we kept doing it. One of the first things
I did when I came in was to throw that thing away and bought a vibrat-
ing tamper.”
In addition to maintaining the village’s roads, the highway depart-
from page 26
Seen here is the rear of Highway garage. Rick Thompson is hoping he can modernize and expand his department’s facilities.

ment is responsible for two major parks and five pilot parks.
“We also take care of the Ashford Avenue Bridge. It runs over the
Saw Mill River Parkway and the NYS Thruway. It’s actually the coun-
ty’s bridge, but we do a lot of maintenance: plowing, salting, and keep-
ing the sidewalks clear. In March, they started tearing down the bridge
and five piers and are replacing the whole thing. It’s a three-year project.
Ashford Avenue is a major cut-through, connecting this side of the coun-
ty to the Hudson River. They’ve been putting million dollar Band-Aids
on it for the last 10 years. Two years ago pieces of the underside fell onto
the Thruway. They recently spent $980,000 to put netting and boarding
up underneath the deck.”
Looking ahead, Rick has several projects he’d like to see come to
fruition, including:
• Safe Routes to School Sidewalk Project: install ¼ mile of concrete
sidewalk running from the village line to Farm Road;
from page 30

“Equipment-wise I don’t have what we’d need to handle a task like
that but I do have the manpower and knowledge. I’d rent the equipment
or reach out to the town of Greenburgh and surrounding areas to get it
done.”
About the Village of Ardsley*The area that includes the village of Ardsley was originally inhabited
by the Weckqueskecks, a branch of the Mohican tribe of the Algonquin
nation. Ashford Avenue, the main road, was once a trail used by the
Indians to travel from the Hudson River to Long Island Sound.
After the Dutch came to the area, the land was part of the Bisightick
tract of the Van der Donck grant purchased by Frederick Philipse in
1682. In 1785 the state of New York confiscated the land from his grand-
son, Frederick Philipse III, after he sided with the British in the American
Revolution, and sold it to local patriot farmers who had been tenants of
the Phillipse family.
The village of Ashford was formed from some of these portions,
named for the main road. Notable businesses included a blacksmith and
a saw mill and grist mill both situated upon the Saw Mill River. Three
pickle factories were in operation by the Civil War, and in the 1880s the
construction of the Putnam Railroad and New Croton Aqueduct led to a
population boom, which saw the installation of electric lighting and
improved roads. Due to the presence of an earlier Ashford Post Office in
New York State, the town took the name “Ardsley” after the name of a
local baron's estate, and the first village postmaster was appointed in
from page 42

The department’s salt shed has a 400-ton capacity, but that’s not enough to handle a winter, Rick Thompson said.

1883. The village was incorporated in 1896. By 1898 the population had
grown to 372.
The renaming of Ardsley is attributed to Cyrus West Field, who
owned 780 acres (3.2 kmz) of land lying between Broadway (Dobbs
Ferry) and Sprain Brook (Greenburgh) named Ardsley Park. He had
named Ardsley Park after the English birthplace of his immigrant ances-
tor, Zechariah Field (East Ardsley, West riding of Yorkshire.)
Ardsley would continue to grow at a steady pace, until a fire
destroyed the village center in 1914. This led to the reconstruction of
several buildings, and the establishment of a fire department in the for-
mer schoolhouse. Two more population booms would follow, the first
spanning the time between the end of World War I and the beginning of
the Depression, and the second following World War 11. A public high
school was established in 1912, with an addition in 1925. The school did
not suit the needs of the growing population, so the current high school
was established in 1957, with its first graduating class in 1958. The old
high school was converted into a middle school, until in 1971 the $5.5
million middle school was built. The Concord Road School was built in
1953 with an addition in 1966.
This second boom led to the eventual construction of several village
schools, including Concord Road Elementary School (1952), Ardsley
High School (1958), and Ardsley Middle School (1967). The village was
greatly changed by the construction of the New York State Thruway in
the late 1950s, which resulted in both the loss of the Ardsley station on
the Putnam Division of the New York Central Railroad and the loss of
much of the downtown business district.
On Oct. 19, 1985, an earthquake measuring 4.0 on the Richter scale
shook Ardsley and was felt over much of the New York City area.
As of the 2000 census, there were 4,269 people, 1,432 households,
and 1,212 families residing in the village.

range from just 1,200 rpm. This high torque engine features an advancedcombustion system, with ultra-high common rail fuel injection pressuresand exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), allowing it to meet Tier IV Finalemissions standards without the need for a DPF filter or time consum-ing regeneration.
This is particularly important in forestry applications, as the heat cre-ated during regeneration creates a fire hazard when combined with high
amounts of timber chaff and sawdust. With no requirement for a DPF orregeneration, the 325T can continue to work productively, while othermachines may need to be removed from the working area and remainidle during regeneration, according to the manufacturer.
The absence of a bulky exhaust after-treatment has allowed JCBdesign engineers to maintain a low engine cover design, improving vis-ibility from the cab and safety on site. The EcoMAX engine can be de-emissionized for machine resale in non-regulated territories, increasingresidual values for the customer.
Enhanced ProtectionThe 325T ForestMaster benefits from a comprehensive protection kit
that includes an exhaust cover to prevent debris entering the engine bay,rear cab glass mesh, a left hand quarter panel guard and a steel tube
guard for the auxiliary high flowcircuit. In addition customerscan specify front work light pro-tection, a loader hydraulic hoseand auxiliary coupler guards, airconditioning, FOPS guard withside protection, a cooling packguard and a track tube guard.
The machine incorporates afull height side entry door, madepossible by JCB’s Powerboomdesign, which enables operatorsto easily enter and exit the cabwithout having to climb overdangerous attachments. In addi-tion, the cab is supplied with aLevel 2 FOPS guard with steelmesh on both the left and righthand windows and a Lexan frontwindscreen with a hinging frontmesh guard for easy cleaning.
Increased ProductivityA rear-mounted winch has
been specifically designed forthe ForestMaster, ensuring thatoperators can easily recover themachine when working in boggyground. The swing-out mount-ing allows daily checks to be car-ried out and the winch design
ensures a 28.7 degree departure angle, so there is no reduction in maneu-verability on inclines.
The 325T ForestMaster can be equipped with a 60 in. wide (15.2 cm)mulching head with up to 45 cutting hammers. The ForestMaster deliv-ers a highly productive, versatile, well protected forestry machine forcontractors, with all of the benefits of the market-leading JCB skid steerand compact loader range.
