Anthony Servedio is a self-taught artist whose need for self-expression first articulated itself in oil paintings during he m id-nineties. His large- scale oil paintings reflect his love of the sea and his vibrant life on the seashore. The latest manifestation of Tony’s innate talent and irrefutable need for artistic expression comes in the form of driftwood. Tony has called the East End his full-time home for four years now, and his love o f the East End’s vast rugged shoreline has blossomed into a veritable obsession with driftwood. He takes great care of his amazing driftwood finds and uses his skill and talent to fashion them into m o d ern sculpture.

West Babylon Post Office recently earned a bronze five-star rating as part of the Postal Service’s 5 Star Custom er Service Program. Ratings are based on surveys by the Gallup Organization. To earn a bronze award a post office has to receive the 5 Star Award for four postal quarters in a row. “Our goal is to provide our customers with excellent service,” said Babylon Postmaster John Lunghi. “Now we’ve got the bronze 5 Star Award to back it up.” The Gallup Organization surveyed Postal Service customers, asking them to rate local Post Offices on efficiency, accuracy o f delivery, clerk information consistency o f delivery and wait-time- in-line. West Babylon Post Office receives “Excellent” ratings, earning the bronze 5 Star Customer Service Award. Customers entering the West Babylon Post Office will know it too. Each office earning 5 Star status receives a sign for its door and all employees receive 5 Star lapel pins in recognition o f the rating. “We’re really honored to receive this rating,” said Lunghi. “It shows that o ur customers value the excellent service West Babylon postal employees provide.”
