All Fired Up
November 9, 2011
Two new biomass boilers were fired up at Ausable Valley CSD last week! Woodchip boilers are one of the green initiatives that many clients are considering.
The District is hosting a Grand Opening Event on November 16, 2011 to showcase one of their two new biomass facilities, part of the District’s $29.85 million Capital Project. The two (2) 140-foot x 30-foot woodchip boiler plants are a sustainable and eco-friendly heating source. By utilizing woodchips sustainably harvested from the local resources, the District can help the environment and local economy while reducing the District’s overall energy cost.
SEI has designed 60% of the biomass boilers in schools in New York State.

Doug Premo ~ Priceless!
November 6, 2011
Our client, Doug Premo, Superintendent at South Lewis Central School District, had an unbelievable experience. At left you can see Doug with a little memento which we presented to him at the NYSCOSS convention. Doug attended a Yankee game with his son Jake, daughter and wife. The following is Doug’s analysis:
“Cost of tickets – $475
Cost of snacks and souvenirs – $200
Time spent before the game trying to explain to Jake we WILL NOT get a ball – endless
A-Rod HR, Jeter HR with 5 RBI’s and the below moment…..PRICELESS!”
