“I’m saving about $1,800 a year in energy costs with LED lighting.”*

—Guy Brogna, All Music Inc., Plainview

Meet Guy. He’s a local small business owner, rock bassist, and fan of LEDs. It didn’t hurt that he got $5,900 in rebates to replace his store’s old lighting with energy-efficient fixtures.* He says his store and his guitars look great in the new LED glow. And, with the monthly energy cost savings, he couldn’t be happier.

How can we help your small business save? psegliny.com/businessrebates

*Rebates and savings will differ with every energy efficiency project.

This year’s battle was superheroes and villians vs. horror movies. The stands were packed in a sea of blue and gold as the community came out in full force to support their favorite school color. The studentartists showed off their creativity as the school’s gymnasium was transformed into a work of art. The members of the props team showed off their skills, while the dance routines and choreography showcased the high level of talent. Following their entrances, each team showed off their routines with calisthenics, lyrical, hip-hop and marching performances. With three sold-out performances, the annual Blue and Gold awards more than $10,000 in student scholarships annually. Photos courtesy of West Babylon School District
