Local Peeps: Mike

Mike is the Superintendent of Public Works and we are fortunate to have him work in the village. He is a jack of all trades: plumber, electrician, carpenter, backhoe operator, ... His skills are many, and he is not one who delegates readily. You are likely to see him in the middle of every project and repair doing as much labor as the rest of the crew. This winter with our average February high temperature around 7, he has been mighty busy with water pipe breaks. Hour after hour, Mike and the other DPW employees struggle to find and fix the break, working through several feet of frozen ground and gallons of frigid water flowing out. With wind chills sub zero, they persist. Mike is as dedicated an employee as they come. It is not unusual that he responds to concerns during off hours, and he always available for advice and assistance. He loves to talk; he'll make you laugh, but above all he is dependable and conscientious. We greatly appreciate his work ethic.
