Phone: 518.324.5135 Mobile: 518.534.0539 [email protected] A Northeast Publication©2015 All Rights Reserved Vol. 26, No. 12, December 2015 DECEMBER 2015 STRICTLY BUSINESS | 3 Publisher’s View here was a time when this area of New York State was known for three things: Plattsburgh Air Force Base, SUNY Plattsburgh and dairy farming. TThere was some manufacturing — Imperial Wallcoverings which closed in the late 1990s, Diamond International (now PACTIV) and Georgia Pacific (celebrating more than 50 years in Plattsburgh). Today much has changed. While SUNY Plattsburgh is still a critical part of our economy, manufacturers such as Nova Bus, Bombardier Transit, Mold-rite, and others have taken center stage and there are rumors of exciting announce- ments to come. In this issue of Strictly Business entitled “Made in Northeastern New York” we offer you a look at Nova Bus as it moves into a new construction phase, but also smaller companies that are making products to meet the needs of local, regional, national, and international buyers. You may have seen shiny silver Airstream travel trailers on the road, but a visit to Nomad Airstream’s plant located on the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base will show you the amazing new uses for these American classics that partners Steve Clement and Guillaume Langevin have devised. If you think catamarans are just for pleasure boating, the people at ProCat in Rouses Point will share the history of this ancient craft with you and show you how valuable the catamaran is as a work boat throughout the world today. Pre-Tech Precision in Mineville may be one of the best kept secrets in our region. Working with its sis- ter facility in Williston, Vermont the company is producing high-tech state of the art parts for industries world-wide and offering good jobs for people in that area. And while most of the companies we have featured in this issue of SB are connected to manufactur- ing, we also wanted to offer you a look at two companies that are making a different kind of product. Perrywinkle’s & Kneucraft, jewelers extraordinare, are making beautiful original designer pieces that reflect their creativity and appreciation for the beauty of our region. And don’t miss this month’s Insight feature, an interview with Fred Smith, the interim president of Clinton Community College. His enthusiasm, drive and stamina will amaze you and his candor will make you laugh. In many areas of the country, manufacturing is a thing of the past. But not here in Northeastern New York. Instead of seeing those kinds of jobs disappear, we’ve seen them grow. We are an area that makes things, all kinds of things and that’s good for business. As we celebrate this holiday season may I offer the best wishes of all of us at The Northeast Group to you and yours for health, happiness and prosperity in 2016.

That was the first CNG bus to roll off the line at the Nova Bus manufacturing facility on Banker Road. NNova Bus, a subsidiary of Volvo Bus North America, supplies transit authorities across the country with buses powered by diesel engines, diesel-electric hybrid engines and now compressed natural gas. The company is even starting to make a full electric bus for the international market. “The Volvo Group has strong environmental core values, but most transit authorities are look- ing for the most reliable and economical solution to their transportation needs,” explained Jason Martin, plant manager at Nova, when asked about the reason for the diversification of engine types. Nova recently produced its first all electric bus which is being tested in Montreal. In addition to metro buses for some of the largest cities in the U.S. including New York City, another Volvo subsidiary, Prevost, produces commuter buses at the Nova facility. These are designed for longer routes and equipped with large luggage compartments underneath the coach. All of the buses run through one assembly line at Nova with each station on the line build- ing to the individual specs of that vehicle. Then, they move to a separate finishing area based on the type of bus, finally being test driven around the streets of Plattsburgh. “With 21 work stations and eight finishing stations, we have 30 buses going at once,” explained Martin. “We were producing two completed buses a day back in September. In October we went to three, and by January we will be producing four.” 2002 2004 2009 2015 Nova Bus closed plants in Volvo Bus bought out Nova Bus opened its plant Nova Bus doubled its New Mexico and New York Nova Bus in Plattsburgh, NY production output in but maintained operations Plattsburgh in Canada DECEMBER 2015 STRICTLY BUSINESS | 7 Lake Champlain Roofing Lake“Where Champlain quality Roofing starts at the top.” “Where quality starts at the top.” 7631 Rt 9 Plattsburgh, NY 1 2901 Ph: 518-562-9956 LakeFax: 518-561-1246 Champlain Roofing, LLC Custom StandingCustom Standing Seam fabricated on-site • 28Seam color options fabricated on-site • 35 year warranty New• roofing 28 color option options • 35 year warranty New roofing option www.lakechamplainroofing.net Commercial,P: 518-562-9956 Residential, Industrial.

These vehicles are meant to run for up to 15 years, and the customers know they may rebuild the engine once or twice in that time period.” 1-800-562-0228 Many of the transit authorities do the www.agencyins.net rebuilds themselves, but Nova provides them with training for that purpose.

The Halifax Regional Municipality, a body corporate duly incorporated pursuant to the laws of Nova Scotia c.o.b. under the name of Metro Transit and Joey Williams Defendants D E C I S I O N Judge: The Honourable Justice Christa M.

It was a rainy, wet day. Metro Transit Bus No. 971 (the “bus”) stopped at 357 Bedford Highway, headed towards Halifax when the plaintiff boarded. The plaintiff was an experienced bus passenger. While holding his wallet, a bag and a transfer, the plaintiff walked 2018 NSSC 152 (CanLII) toward the back of the bus, fell, and broke his ankle (the “accident”). The sole issue for determination is liability. Damages have been agreed to by the parties. [2] What caused the plaintiff to fall? The plaintiff advanced four theories of causation: 1. The speed of the bus leaving the stop was excessive; 2. The floor of the bus was worn and caused the plaintiff to slip; 3.

    Top 10 School Bus Companies Blog

    TOP 10 SCHOOL BUS COMPANIES Throughout the years, the task of making the best buses for school transportation has been handled by various companies. This article features 10 school bus companies which made a name for themselves, when it came to redefining the way we look at a school bus. #1 WAYNE CORPORATION Topping our list of companies is Wayne Corporation. Though the company declared itself bankrupt and discontinued operation in 1992, the Wayne Corporation had played a vital role in the development of safe buses for school children. They were the first and foremost to introduce the concept of school buses for schools. Their innovation predates the famous yellow coloured buses which are widely used these days. www.trackschoolbus.com They introduced the horse drawn carts, including kid hacks, which later evolved into automobiles which used full metal body chassis. Wayne Corporation introduced guard rails on the sides of all school buses, inboard wheelchair lifts, and even high-headroom doors. They were the first with a school bus based upon a cutaway van chassis, the Wayne Busette. This chassis design is still one of the most popular in North American markets even after more than 35 years. #2 BLUE BIRD An all time giant, the Blue Bird Corporation (formerly called Blue Bird Body Company) is clearly one of the top school bus manufacturing companies even today. Blue Bird's corporate headquarters and main manufacturing facilities are in Georgia. www.trackschoolbus.com It was in 1937 that the company began production of full-steel bus bodies. This innovation would soon replace the wooden bodies which were commonly used in the United States.
