There is something special about an event that fills its exhibit hall before the doors even open. It signals enthusiasm, strong industry support and, perhaps most importantly, a community that is ready to come together. And thanks to all of you, that’ll be happening. The 32nd Annual NYS Highway & Public Works Expo is set for Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026, at the NYS Fairgrounds Expo Center in Syracuse. Indoor exhibit space is officially sold out, making this one of the most highly anticipated Expos yet. A big thank you goes to the exhibitors who committed early and helped make the indoor sellout possible. Their participation is a testament to the importance of bringing highway, public works and municipal professionals together with the companies that provide the equipment, products and services they depend on every day. For those who missed out on indoor space, there is still an opportunity to participate. Outdoor exhibit space remains available, with options and pricing tailored to exhibitors’ needs. Interested companies should contact Amanda Guilfoyle at 518/396-7659 or aguilfoyle@cegltd.com before those spaces disappear, as well. Of course, the Expo isn’t just about exhibits. This year’s attendee experience includes some exciting new features and giveaways. All registered attendees will automatically be entered for a chance to win two tickets to a Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets game at the new Highmark Stadium or two tickets and pit passes to the Watkins Glen NASCAR race. And new this year is the Cash Booth Giveaway. From noon to 1:30 p.m., a lucky attendee will be selected every 30 minutes to step inside the Cash Booth and grab cash, gift cards and special giveaways supplied by participating exhibitors. It’s a simple concept, but one that promises to bring plenty of energy to the afternoon. Another important part of the day is lunch. Thanks to the generous support of our Lunch Sponsors, attendees can enjoy a complimentary Chick-fil-A lunch. We encourage everyone to stop by the booths of Allegiance Trucks, Alta Equipment, Buyers Products, Charles D. Stahl Sales & Service, Chemung Supply Corporation, Dejana Truck & Utility Equipment, Henderson Products, Hunter Trucks, Milton CAT, Montage Enterprises Inc., Steel Sales Inc., T&T Sales Inc., Tenco Industries, Viking Cives and Winter Equipment Company. Pick up your free lunch tickets, say hello and thank them for supporting the Expo. With the indoor floor sold out, the countdown is clearly on. Mark your calendar for Oct. 28 and plan to join us in Syracuse from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Whether you’re exhibiting, attending, networking or simply checking out what’s new in the industry, the 2026 NYS Highway & Public Works Expo promises to be a full day of equipment, ideas, connections and plenty of excitement.

Highway Superintendent H

Pam Miktuk

and the Town Villenova

Pam Miktuk broke the stereotypical New York highway superintendent mold when she was appointed to the position in 2022 — not only because she’s female, but because she didn’t have a background in highway construction or public service. A Villenova native, Pam had moved to the town of Ashville for almost 30 years before returning in 2020 after her husband passed away. “He was the love of my life,” she said with a catch in her throat. “I needed to get away from the memories.” She had worked alongside him, milking the 40 cows on their farm and later taking care of him through his illness. She also had worked in the John Deere parts and service department for almost 10 years and, for a little while, at a Massey Ferguson dealership before retiring to take care of her husband, Jim. When Pam returned to Villenova, she met Yvonne, the town

supervisor, and became friends. The town needed help in the highway department for October-December 2023, so when her friend asked her to fill in, she agreed to come out of retirement and fill in. “I was a farmer’s wife and had a background in parts and service with John Deere, so they appointed me.” She credits her brother, Rick Walker, who works in town of Cherry Creek, as having paved the way for her because he is known as a hard worker and is well-respected. “[Everyone] knew we come from strong stock. “I was asked as a favor to fill in from September to the end of the year 2022,” Pam added. “I was put on the ballot for one year to finish out the previous superintendent’s term, then voted in for another four years. I resigned at the end of 2025, then was appointed for 2026.” She told the town board she wasn’t planning to stay through 2027 and will leave at the end of 2026.

Coming Back Home

The town of Villenova in Chautauqua County has a population of 1,137. The area was first settled circa 1809, and the town itself was formed from part of the town of Hanover in 1823. A quaint town situated in the rolling hills of upstate New York, Villenova is small but offers many restaurants, shops and other attractions. Residents are known to be friendly and outgoing. In a 12

town this small, Pam has many connections. Her nephew is the deputy highway superintendent. “We have a number of family members — cousins that have worked for either the county or towns: Mark Lebaron from Charlotte, Jeff Clark Ellery, Jack Clark, Mike Walker and Rick Walker, retired.” She searches on Ancestry to find many that have been proven to have worked for more than 400 years. continued on page 16

Despite a small budget, Pam has been able to add some new equipment, including this Hyundai loader. from page 12

Known for its lush hills, the region is popular for its hiking trails, nearby lakes and parks. The Buffalo ski center near Lake Findlay attracts skiers and nature-lovers year-round, while the Chautauqua Belle offers historic tours of the north end of Chautauqua Lake, including live music and dinner cruises. “Many presidents have stayed here, including President Garfield, my 5th great-grandfather,” said Pam. The National Comedy Center presents the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, embodying Lucille Ball’s vision for her hometown, nearby Jamestown, to serve as a destination for the celebration of the comedic arts and to showcase new comedic talent from around the country. The festival attracts more than 15,000 attendees annually. 16

But with all the landscape and laughs available, Pam’s favorite pastime is dancing. “I love to slow dance,” she said. “I used to dance every dance, but now I’m happy with getting a few dances with my partner [Robert Crowell].”

Better Work Environment

Relationships are important to this very giving woman. Pam, mother to two girls, exudes a maternal warmth and expresses concern for seemingly everyone she comes in contact with. She fondly refers to the highway department crew as “the boys” and takes great strides to ensure both their safety and their job satisfaction. continued on page 20

“I worry about my employees,” she said. “It would kill me if someone got hurt.” She typically accompanies them to check on road conditions. “I won’t leave them out there alone. I put up cones and wait in the truck for Michael [her deputy] to make sure the roads are safe.” During her tenure, she has concentrated on making a better work environment. It starts with the simple things. “I always try to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’ I shake their hands and tell them I’m proud of them. Sometimes I buy them pizza.” In August, she threw a “just because” party. She invited everyone, not just her small highway department of three. She included the town board, all highway workers and superintendents and friends. “People I know and care about,” she said. “Pave it forward.” continued on page 24

Pam has been strategic with the highway budget, saving CHIPS money where she can, to be used elsewhere. 20

But it’s not all fun and parties. Accountability, responsibility and respect are important to the Chautauqua County Highway Association member — and it starts at the top. “I made a $3,000 mistake in July. I told the town what I did and offered to pay for it.” It was easily fixed and the town paid it, but it was important to Pam to take responsibility and acknowledge her error. “I’m trying to bring the highway department out of the 18th century,” she joked. She bought a printer and a laptop. She has labeled all the equipment service manuals and writes maintenance hours in them. She even files the filters for the equipment alphabetically and numerically and keeps them in her office. “I have tried to look forward for things we might need,” she said.

continued on page 30

Since Pam has been in office, the highway department has blacktopped more than 15 mi. and sealed 20 mi. of roads. She calls it a group effort. Superintendent’s Profile • www.superintendentsprofile.com • October 2026

Equipment Overhaul

Despite her efforts to make improvements throughout the department, a meager budget of $805,588 (CHIPS $250,000) has restricted Pam from sweeping changes. She said they have outgrown their only building — one office and seven bays, built around 1957. “It’s very old and needs replacement.” She said they have to park the trucks so closely together that they could hit their heads on the wings if they’re not careful. Some of the equipment needs updating, as well. “The excavator is getting very tired,” she said. However, she has managed to add some new equipment, including five new trucks, two Chevy pickups and three plow trucks — International, Mack and Western Star, a Hyundai loader and a Woods

brush chopper. The current equipment list indicates some recent models, but the superintendent would like to add a new single-axle dump truck to the inventory.

Savings, Loans

Pam has been strategic with the highway budget, saving CHIPS money where she can, to be used elsewhere. “We’ll get some back and put it toward a lean-to for the equipment,” she said. “I don’t like to have equipment sitting outside. It’s not good for equipment to sit out in the elements.” When windmills were installed in the area, the roads took a hit. The town received a settlement for the damage.

continued on page 34

“None of our towns could do what we accomplish without shared services. It is so vital to all of us,” said Pam. 30

“We used that money to repair the roads,” she said. Since Pam has been in office, the highway department has blacktopped more than 15 mi. and sealed 20 mi. of roads. She calls it a group effort. “Without that, CHIPS and shared services, we couldn’t have done all that. None of our towns could do what we accomplish without shared services. It is so vital to all of us. “Last year, we had a big project,” she added. “The state, county and surrounding towns came. I was lucky enough to have 47-50 trucks come and do almost 9 miles of road in six days. Three came from Cattaraugus County to help. They tell me this is something that has never been done, with so much cooperation and help. All went off without a hitch. The county paving crew also set a record for the number of tons of asphalt laid down in one day: 2,800 tons.” This year, she asked for 29 trucks to help lay asphalt; 40 trucks showed up. continued on page 38

During better weather, the crew works on improving roads. They are currently blacktopping 5 mi. with funding from an award from the windmill damage.

The crew works a schedule of 5 a.m.-1:30 p.m. in the winter and 6 a.m.-2:30 p.m. in the summer; they maintain 78.6 lane mi., approximately 10 of which are gravel, and the equipment needed to do so. 34

When she doesn’t have dozens of trucks rolling in from other municipalities to help with paving, Pam relies on her small crew of three full-time workers to take care of other duties. from page 34

Self-Reliance

When she doesn’t have dozens of trucks rolling in from other municipalities to help with paving, Pam relies on her small crew of three full-time workers to take care of other duties. “I wish I had another guy — especially in the winter — so they could go on shifts, but it’s a poor town.” Her crew consists of: • Mike E. Walker, deputy (and her nephew) • Joey Williams • Phil Christian Together, working a schedule of 5 a.m.-1:30 p.m. in the winter and 6 a.m.-2:30 p.m. in the summer, they maintain 78.6 lane mi., 38

approximately 10 of which are gravel, and the equipment needed to do so. Basic equipment maintenance, such as oil changes, is performed in-house. Pam hires a specialist with a computer to run diagnostics for electrical issues before ordering parts. The top lady is as hands-on as possible. “I can’t climb up on the equipment anymore,” she said. “I am a 76-year-old woman and unable to do many things the men do. My husband always said, ‘A woman’s body is not made to work like a man’s.’ He was very right.” In the winter, they run three plow routes of about 2.5 hours each. They keep approximately 15,000 tons of salt mix, covered. continued on page 44

“Last year, we went through our allotment of salt because we had so much ice,” Pam said. They also have many piles of sand, which they mix with the salt — although “very lightly for the dirt roads because it tears them up.” During better weather, the crew works on improving roads. They are currently blacktopping 5 mi. with funding from an award from the windmill damage. “My biggest regret about leaving is I just got a $1.7 million Bridge New York grant in 2023 and it will be done in 2027,” Pam said. “I like to finish what I start. But I promised my girls I’d stop this time.”

Legacy

A humble woman, Pam doesn’t focus much on how she’ll be remembered. “I guess I’d like people to know that I really tried hard.” continued on page 46

When windmills were installed in the area, the roads took a hit. The town received a settlement for the damage.

Walker, deputy superintendent of the town of Villenova highway department; Matt Walker, highway department crew member of the town of Villenova; Mark Lebaron highway superintendent of the town of Charlotte; Pam Miktuk, highway superintendent of the town of Villenova; Mike Walker, retired highway superintendent of the town Carroll; Jack Clark, retired highway department crew member of the town of Ellery; and Rick Walker, retired deputy superintendent of the town of Cherry Creek. 44

She has accomplished much in a short time. “There are no shelves falling down. It’s more organized. I have tried to file and label, so it’s easier for the next person. I am sure there are mistakes; that’s what makes us human.” That next person is likely to be her nephew and deputy superintendent, Mike Walker. “Michael is on the ballot. He’ll no doubt do a good job.” She remembers when he was hired, saying to her, “Aunt Pam, you’re going to be my boss.” Pam has a strong work ethic and a soft heart. She likes to work — although she says she doesn’t like being out at 3:30 in the morning during snowstorms. “I’m afraid of falling. There was so much ice last year. Let’s face it, 46

we all don’t get around like teenagers anymore.” She is such a hard worker, she’s concerned about what she’ll do when she leaves the highway department. The woman who milked cows for 13 years for the same farmer, worked at John Deere for almost 10 years and took care of her husband during his illness is not an idle person. “I can’t watch TV all day.” Despite knowing it’s time for her to move on and retire for good this time, she looks back fondly on her role as highway superintendent. “I have received more respect than I ever had in my entire life. I am one fortunate and grateful woman, I hold each and every one who has advised, helped, listened and just been there for me dear in my heart.”  P (All photos courtesy of the town of Villenova Highway Department.)

STEEL ISN’T THE ONLY

WAY FORWARD Tungsten carbide prices are volatile and unpredictable, and fleets that depend on it can’t always count on supply being there when they need it. Some are being told the only way forward is back — to steel, and to changing blades more often than they used to. For crews managing miles of roadway on a fixed budget, that’s not a real solution. It’s a step backward dressed up as the only option.

Winter Carbide™ gives you another path. Developed and proven over 35+ years in our PlowGuard line, it delivers wear life comparable to tungsten carbide — without the price swings or supply uncertainty. The Razor® XL is now enhanced with Winter Carbide™, giving your crews a blade that holds up through a full season without forcing a choice between cost and long wear life. And now, with our newly awarded contract through Sourcewell, choosing Razor® XL is easier than ever. Contract # 033126-WEC

Razor XL with Winter Carbide ®

™

The Razor® XL is now available with Winter Carbide™, giving your crews the performance of tungsten carbide at a lower cost — so there’s no reason to fall back on steel. Winter Carbide™ is engineered to flex under stress instead of shattering like standard carbide inserts, and it outlasts steel by a wide margin, holding up through conditions that would wear a steel blade down fast. Integrated cover blade design

100% American Made Winter Carbide™ Deposit

3X longer wear life compared to tungsten carbide

Hilltip Introduces New SnowStriker SFT Flex Expandable Box Plow

Hilltip photo

The SFT Flex is available in three sizes.

Hilltip introduced the SnowStriker SFT Flex expandable box plow, a versatile snow removal solution designed for tractors, loaders and skid steers from 1-4t. The new plow combines the containment and productivity of a box plow with hydraulically extendable sections that allow operators to adapt the clearing width to changing conditions and applications on the go. The SFT Flex is available in three sizes. The smallest provides an

adjustable clearing width from 4ft., 3in. to 6ft., 11in. The mid-range model adjusts from 4ft., 11in. to 8ft., 2in. The largest model ranges from 5ft., 11in. to 9ft., 6in. This flexibility allows operators to narrow the plow for tighter spaces or expand it for more productive clearing of larger driveways, yards and open parking areas. The blade is designed to tilt and oscillate as it moves over uneven ground, helping maintain contact with the surface for a cleaner scrape. The hydraulically actuated side plates of the SFT Flex can be independently folded, allowing the unit to act as a conventional straightblade plow, rolling snow to either side. Relief valves allow the side plates to trip if an obstacle is hit to help prevent damage to the attachment. Steel, ice-cutting, and polyurethane cutting-edge options are available to accommodate various applications. Other options include LED edge markers, custom mountings, a 12V/24V electric valve, a plow shoe kit, a four-line hydraulic system and high-visibility orange paint. The SFT Flex is made from high-strength, powder-coated steel for high durability, while remaining lighter weight. The three models weigh 816 (model 13-21 SFT), 1,080 (model 15-25 SFT) and 1,190lbs. (model 18-29 SFT), making them compatible with a wide range of equipment. “Compared with other box plows, the SFT Flex offers unmatched versatility for use in a wider range of winter maintenance applications,” said Craig Sandmann, managing director of Hilltip North America. “Nothing else offers the same level of efficiency and precision with every pass.” 

KAGE Introduces New 3-Button Control for Hydraulic Wing Plows

KAGE photo

The controller is small and flexible, giving installers the freedom to position the three buttons where they are comfortable and accessible to the operator.

Integrated grooves in the controller are designed to help retain zip ties and prevent them from sliding out of position.

KAGE Innovation has introduced a new flexible inline 3-button control for its hydraulic wing snow plows, giving operators a way to position plow controls directly on wheel loader and tractor joysticks. The new controller replaces KAGE’s previous puck-style 3-button design. Its narrow profile and flexible construction allow the control to follow the shape and contour of an existing joystick, helping address a common challenge associated with operating aftermarket hydraulic attachments on equipment with increasingly complex factory controls. Hydraulic wing plows require operators to control additional attachment functions that may not be incorporated into a machine’s factory joystick. Traditional aftermarket solutions can add bulky control boxes, rigid switches or separate controls that are difficult to position without interfering with the operator’s grip or existing machine functions, according to KAGE. The KAGE inline controller is designed to provide an alternative. Because the controller is small and flexible, installers have freedom to position the three buttons where they are comfortable and accessible to the operator. The control can be secured to a joystick using simple mounting methods such as zip ties or electrical tape, eliminating the need for a large or complicated mounting bracket, added KAGE. Integrated grooves in the controller are designed to help retain zip ties and prevent them from sliding out of position. According to KAGE, the flexible body also can conform to curved and contoured joystick surfaces, making the design adaptable to the wide variety of control shapes found across wheel loaders and tractors. The design is particularly beneficial for hydraulic wing snow plows because wing positions may be adjusted repeatedly throughout a snow removal operation. Depending on the application, operators may reposition the wings to contain snow, increase clearing width,

windrow material or change the plow configuration for different areas of a property. Locating these controls directly on the machine’s primary joystick can reduce the need to reach for a separate control elsewhere in the cab. The compact design also helps address the limited mounting space available on modern equipment. Wheel loader and tractor joysticks can already contain numerous factory switches and controls, leaving little room for additional aftermarket components. Rather than requiring a specific flat mounting surface, the flexible KAGE controller is designed to work around existing joystick geometry and factory controls. Key features of the new KAGE inline 3-button wing plow control include: • Compact inline three-button configuration • Flexible construction that can conform to curved and contoured joysticks • Small footprint designed for crowded wheel loader and tractor controls • Simple mounting using zip ties, tape or similar methods • Integrated grooves designed to help retain zip ties • Greater flexibility in choosing an operator-friendly mounting position • Replacement of KAGE’s previous puck-style 3-button wing plow control The new inline control will be used across KAGE Innovation’s wing plow lineup - which includes the 32-in. stall SnowFire Wing Plows, 36in. tall SnowStorm Wing Plows and 48-in. tall SnowDozer Wing Plows - providing a common control solution designed around the realities of installing and operating aftermarket hydraulic snow removal attachments on multiple types of heavy equipment. 

Virnig Debuts Snow Blowers for Performance in Tough Conditions Virnig Manufacturing is introducing a completely redesigned snow blower lineup engineered to move more snow, handle tougher winter conditions and give operators more configuration options than ever before. Designed for contractors, municipalities and snow removal professionals, the new two-stage snow blower lineup features expanded width options, optimized hydraulic motor packages, multiple auger configurations and customer-driven improvements that enhance durability, performance and ease of use. Customer-Driven Improvements The redesign was driven by feedback from dealers and operators who wanted additional configuration options, improved skid shoe functionality, more surface-specific solutions and greater flexibility for different snow conditions. Rather than creating multiple platforms for different applications, Virnig focused on developing a streamlined platform capable of serving a broader range of customers and machine configurations. The result is a more versatile lineup that delivers greater value while maintaining the durability and performance Virnig customers have come to expect. Built for Tough Winter Conditions Virnig’s new snow blower lineup is designed to move large volumes of snow quickly and efficiently while giving operators more options to match their machine, application, and winter conditions. What’s New • Four widths available: 60-in., 72-in., 84-in. and new 96-in. models for increased productivity and machine coverage • Five hydraulic motor options covering 14–45 GPM across standard and high-flow machines • Choice of paddle or spiral auger configurations based on snow conditions and operator preference • Industry-leading 3/8-in. thick serrated auger flighting designed for aggressive snow handling in packed snow and ice • Three skid shoe options to match surface conditions: • Standard adjustable and reversible steel skid shoes with angled fronts designed to glide over obstructions • Optional gravel skid shoes with wide bases for softer surfaces and gravel applications • Optional poly skid shoes designed to reduce surface marking on concrete, asphalt, and pavers

• New five-position skid shoe adjustment system with locking design to help maintain adjustment settings throughout the season Proven Features Operators Trust • 23.5-in. fan diameter for high-volume snow movement • 270-degree hydraulic chute rotation with in-cab deflector control for precise snow placement • Up to 50 percent more auger torque and fan speed for superior performance in difficult winter conditions • 3/16-in. fan housing that is two times thicker than the industry standard to help resist damage from rocks and debris • Eaton motors with pressure relief protection to help safeguard the hydraulic system • 5/8-in. reversible steel bolt-on edge designed for durability and extended wear life Two Auger Options for Different Snow Conditions To better match operator preferences and application needs, Virnig now offers two auger styles: • Paddle Auger — Best suited for compacted snow and icy conditions • Spiral Auger — Ideal for lighter, more consistent snow conditions such as powder Expanded Coverage Across More Machines The new lineup dramatically expands machine compatibility and application flexibility through optimized hydraulic motor offerings and additional configuration options.
