Welcome to Manhasset Press Magazine

Although its reputation is seemingly solidified as the town that inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Manhasset have proved that it is a town that can exist in the past, present and future. With an elite education program, high-end shopping, five-star dining scene and beautiful bay vistas, Manhasset is in a class of its own. On the cover, Jennifer Fauci highlights the Greentree Foundation and the historic estate that the prominent Whitney family called home. Jennifer also takes a look at the Strathmore-Vanderbilt Country Club, ahead of its 80 year celebration. Keeping with Manhasset’s connection to times that have passed, Anthony Murray illustrates the history of Munsey Park, with Frank A. Munsey at the helm. Getting hungry? Christina Claus rounds up Manhasset’s brunch bunch, which includes Publicans, Buttercooky and For Five Coffee among the best places to eat. She also features Schout Tavern, the brainchild of three Manhasset residents with a penchant for the in between breakfast and lunch scene. Christina also chats with Manhasset residents as they share what they love about the place they call home. On the health front, Jennifer highlights the amazing work that St. Francis Hospital does by exploring its nutrition-based programming at the Cancer Institute that is heavily influenced by a team of skilled dietitians. Another trend in fitness is barre, and Allison Eichler takes a class at Pure Barre for a total body workout fit for a world class ballerina. Editor of the Manhasset Press, Elizabeth Johnson, profiles the amazing work that is done by the Manhasset School Community Association, as there is no greater gift to give children than the value of an excellent education. Speaking of school, Christopher Birsner sits down with Jim Amen, the athletic director at Manhasset High School to discuss his work with student athletes. The North Shore is known as a very charitable area, and Manhasset never disappoints. Kristin Stevens reports on the Tower Foundation’s annual gala, which blew guests away with its Studio 54 theme. And what is spring without a new wardrobe to debut? Kimberly Dijkstra focuses on the gentleman’s fashion game with a roundup of this season’s hottest trends and styles. As you can see, there’s plenty more to showcase in this high class town as we continue to share what makes this community so wonderful. Angela Susan Anton Publisher

Manhasset’s Historical G The Greentree Estate is as much a piece of Long Island history as the family who lived in it By Jennifer Fauci

While so much of Manhasset in the 1920s was lost to industrialization and the advancement to modernity, there are a few precious jewels that have weathered the storm of a new century. Greentree was the home of the prominent Whitney family, known for their business enterprises, social prominence, wealth and philanthropy. A third generation worker on the estate after his father and grandfather, Chris Hobbs has a special connection to Greentree, and his passion for history and gratitude is not lost on the Whitneys and all they left behind.

MANHASSET PRESS MAGAZINE

American businessman Oliver Hazard Payne was born in 1839. Throughout his lifetime, Hazard Payne was an organizer of the American Tobacco trust, assisted with the formation of U.S. Steel, and was affiliated with Standard Oil, earning him the title of one of the 100 wealthiest Americans. Upon his

death in 1917 with no children, Hazard Payne left $63 million ($1.3 billion in 2019 dollars) and his estate, Payne Greenwood Whitney Plantation in Georgia, to his nephew, William Payne Whitney. Payne Whitney married Helen Hay, the sister of his Yale roommate. As it was common to give a home to a new wife during that time, Payne Whitney built Greentree Estate in Manhasset for Helen as a wedding gift in 1904. “The estate was made by combining five large farms and building a modest country house,” says Hobbs. “When developing the estate, Payne Whitney purchased a stained glass window in France that he had planned on adding to a chapel on the Greentree estate. After forgoing his plan, the window was donated to Christ Church (1802) in Manhasset

where it resides today.” Payne Whitney and Helen had two children; Joan Whitney Payson (1903-1975) and John Hay “Jock” Whitney (1904-1982). Joan, a sports enthusiast, would later become the first owner of the New York Mets. And Jock would become perhaps the most prominent Whitney in the history of the family, accomplishing more than his contemporaries could have imagined. Jock’s first marriage was to Mary Elizabeth Altemus (known as Liz Whitney) and lasted from 1931 to 1940. In 1942, he married Betsey Cushing Roosevelt, the former daughter-in-law of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Jock adopted her two daughters from her previous marriage. According to Hobbs, who has some of the art from Greentree hanging in his own living room, Betsey loved art and adored her paintings from Picasso and Toulouse Lautrec, many of which were hung throughout Greentree and her city home.

The Hobbs Family

In this tale of two families, the Hobbs family also has an interesting history. Hobbs’ grandfather, Walter Hobbs, came to America from England to work for the Pulitzer family. “He competed in a cross county race on a bicycle with wooden rims—winning it two years in a row—and used his prize money to come to America,” says Hobbs of his grandfather. “The trophy cup is still in the family.” After the war, Walter married Erminia Donzelli, who came over from Italy and became a governess to the Pulitzer family. She spoke and wrote in five languages and traveled around the world, taking care of the Pulitzers’ two children, Steve and Ralph. Soon after, the newlyweds left the Pulitzers to work at the Whitney Estate. Working his way up, Walter became the buildings manager for

the estate. Among his many job responsibilities included managing the wine and spirits and petty cash for the entire estate, handling hundreds of thousands of dollars. Walter worked for the Whitneys until he was 88. “My father grew up on the estate and I worked there a few summers as well,” says Hobbs, adding that the gardens on the grounds on the estate were maintained by a staff of 28 full-time gardeners. “My wife, Cheryl, and I worked on the estate and helped in the greenhouses,

including taking care of the prized orchids.” Hobbs has many fond memories of being on the estate. He recalls his first baseball game as a child, a Mets game where he received a very special gift from the owner, Joan. “Tom Seaver was pitching and I remember how earthy Joan Payson was; she was a person of the people. As Tom Seaver comes back to the dugout, he pulls his hat down and she shouts profanities at him to play better,” Hobbs recalls. “When the game ended, Joan contacted the manager, Casey Stengel, and said to my grandfather that they had a present for me. They did up a ball that the entire 1965 Mets team signed.” Hobbs’ home is filled with boxes of history from the past. His father was so passionate about the estate, having grown up and worked on it, that he made detailed notes and wrote down names, dates and

A Jock of All Trades

Although Jock Whitney’s life was incredible since birth, he acquired his own relationships, many of which revolved around the theater scene as he and Joan invested in many plays, including bringing A Streetcar Named Desire to Broadway. Jock was also lifelong friends with the greatest dancer of all time, Fred Astaire. Keeping in the Hollywood circle, Jock befriended David O. Selznick, the producer of Gone with the Wind. “Jock knew a literary agent named Kay Brown from the New York theater scene and hired her as the literary agent of Selznick productions. She discovered a manuscript from an unknown author named Margaret Mitchell,” says Hobbs. “When Whitney read the manuscript, he called Selznick, and urged him to buy the story. In 1937, Selznick bought the rights and two year later, Gone with the Wind would become one of the most iconic movies of all time.”

According to Hobbs, when Selznick Pictures ran out of money making Gone with the Wind, Jock put up $850,000 of his own money. Although it was Selznick who

discovered Vivien Leigh, it was Whitney who decided to cast her in the role of Scarlett O’Hara. It was also Whitney who made a deal with Warner Bros. to cast Clark Gable, who was under contract with the studio, in the role of Rhett Butler. In exchange for Gable’s service, Warner Bros. distributed Gone with the Wind. “The stars stayed at Greentree ahead of the premiere in Atlanta and my father caddied for Clark Gable, his wife, Carol Lombard and Vivien Leigh,” says Hobbs. Taking on a more political role, Jock served as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen’s sister, Princess Margaret, visited Greentree and stayed in the pool house in what became known as the Princess Margaret Room. “Jock was the largest private art collector in the country, later becoming The Ambassador: The Whitneys the president at Buckingham Palace. of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). When he died, one of the crown jewels of the art collection, a Renoir painted “Le Moulin de la Galette” (1876) was sold by Betsey for $78 million,” says Hobbs of the painting, which was acquired by Jock in 1929 and hung in the living room of his city home. When Betsey passed, she left seven major works to MOMA, as she, too, had been a museum trustee for more than 20 years. A Cezanne, Picasso, Van Gogh, Matisse, Bellows, Signac and Cross were all given to the Manhattan museum, while the National Gallery in Washington DC received other works, including Van Gogh’s self-portrait. Six paintings were bequeathed to Yale.

The Greentree Foundation When the Whitney estate was later divided, land was gifted to several organizations: the North Shore Unitarian Universalist Society (now known as the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock (UUCSR); North Shore Manhasset Hospital and the Manhasset Lakeville Fire Department. The remaining 408 acres, including the family home, are run by the Greentree Foundation, a philanthropic nonprofit organization, as a conference center dedicated to international justice and human rights issues. The Greentree Foundation was founded in 1982 by Betsey and has owned the property since 2000. Today, Greentree is used by the United Nations. Part of the original garage was converted into gardens and meeting areas for UN use. The stables were also renovated to provide lodging for visiting dignitaries and UN staff.

Jock and his sister, Joan, often spent time at the races, rooting for Greentree Stables.

At Jock’s death, his collection of art amassed over the years was conservatively valued at $500 to $600 million in 1980s dollars. (Photos courtesy of the Hobbs family)

BUNCH By Christina Claus

Brunch: sitting around with family and friends on a Sunday afternoon—and now socially acceptable on Saturdays—to enjoy a few mimosas and an eggs Benedict while the person across from you orders the cheeseburger and fries with a bloody Mary.

he in-between-breakfast-and-lunch meal seems to be all the rage in New York—and Long Island. So much so that the word brunch has become both a noun and a verb, as one may often hear the phrase, “brunching” or “let’s brunch.” Across Long Island new brunch-specific restaurants have been popping up nearly every month and restaurants without that special menu are scrambling to add it. The end result is usually a menu mixed with twists on traditional breakfast and lunch food and many options with the power to cure a hangover from the previous night.

Some Manhasset restaurants have picked up on this brunch obsession, making sure they have a brunch menu to offer residents on the weekends, while others focus on a daily brunch-like menu. The hamlet is home to pubs like Schout Bay Tavern and Publicans, the famous Sarabeth’s Bakery in Lord & Taylor’s, a local staple like Louie’s Manhasset and more grab-and-go-like stops such as For Five Coffee Roasters and Buttercooky Bakery.

berries, and dragon fruit), avocado crush (pomegranate, pumpkin seeds, basil seeds, corn shoots and jammy egg), crème brûlée French toast (baked milk toast, tigernut ice cream and blueberries) and more.

FOR FIVE COFFEE The modern wooden and dark coffee shop offers a bit more than the beverage it’s named after. Although it has a limited number of offerings, For Five’s menu packs a big bite with flavor. A few breakfast options include one named after the hamlet, The Manhasset (scrambled eggs, halloumi cheese, spinach, roasted peppers, tomato and basil mayo), 24 hour oatmeal (overnight oats, honey caramelized walnuts, flax and chia seeds), berry dragon açai bowl (pink pitaya, banana,

Three quiches adorn the menu: quiche Lorraine, broccoli, cheddar and Monterey Jack quiche and a spinach and sun-dried tomato quiche. Quinoa, Asian, house, arugula, kale, Caesar and spring mix salads also appear on the cafe menu. Buttercooky is located at 140 Plandome Road in Manhasset. For more information, call 516-627-1600 or visit buttercookybakery.com.

The quaint little shop’s menu has five different egg options, each of which comes with a choice of muffin, scone or croissant and Sarabeth’s preserves. Options are a spinach and goat cheese omelette, scrambled eggs with scallions or smoked salmon and cream cheese, a quiche of the day or Popeye eggs, of course, with spinach. For those in a sweeter mood after a brief shopping trip, Sarabeth’s boasts fluffy lemon-ricotta pancakes served up with strawberries and warm maple syrup. For those who can’t get enough pumpkin, the pumpkin waffle comes topped with sour cream, raisins, toasted pumpkin seeds and honey. Guests can also choose from a variety of lunch items including salads (Caesar, roasted chicken Cobb or Waldorf chicken), warm plates (jumbo lump crab cake; penne pasta with fresh veggies and ricotta cheese; and a roasted portobello mushroom burger) and sandwiches (open faced tuna salad, classic club, grilled mozzarella cheese and smoked salmon). Sarabeth’s Bakery is located inside Lord & Taylor at 1440 Northern Boulevard in Manhasset. For more information, visit sarabeth.com.

Sarabeth’s offers the perfect fresh and fruity start to any brunch meal with the four flowers juice—a blend of orange juice, bananas, pineapple and pomegranate juice.

PUBLICANS

Although the local pub at 550 Plandome Rd. may not have always held the name of Publicans, the spot is forever solidified in history in J.R. Moehringer’s The Tender Bar. The pub with the new name opened about two years ago and each weekend from Friday to Sunday, the restaurant serves brunch between noon and 3 p.m. “The bar has meant a lot to people,” says general manager Lauren Trivedi. “We offer a welcoming, warm atmosphere where families can come with their kids. It’s a special place because for many, their grandparents used to come here.” That familial atmosphere is the reason the pub decided to serve up brunch to keep the family together for a meal. “It’s important because Sundays are normally for families,” says Trivedi. Publicans will soon introduce a new

brunch menu to locals. But for now, the current menu offers a plethora of options. Starters range from steak tidbits (filet tips, mozzarella, horseradish cream, barbecue sauce and garlic ciabatta) to a classic French onion soup. During brunch, Publicans boasts salads—chopped western, super food salad bowl, classic Caesar and wedge— and tavern classics—the Vermont burger, veggie burger, Publican burger and new school French dip. On the more brunch-y side, Publicans can satiate any breakfast taste buds with its breakfast bowl complete with two eggs your way, quinoa, baby spinach, mushroom and avocado. Also on the menu are a veggie frittata, avocado toast, stuffed French toast, bagel and lox plate, coconut chia pudding and a bacon, egg and cheese. Publicans is located at 550 Plandome Road in Manhasset. For more information, visit publicansmanhasset.com or call 516-627-7722.

SCHOUTING for BRUNCH By Christina Claus

SBT Benny Photos by Chelsea Kravitz

Each Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Schout Bay Tavern switches to a classic brunch menu with a few twists.

chout Bay Tavern, a name which comes from the 17th century Dutch name for Manhasset Bay (pronounced “Scout”) means sheriff, opened at the end of the summer in 2015 on Plandome Road by three locals. Pete Keogh, Evan Psyllos and Matt Sheerin have each spent their fair share of time in Manhasset and opened up the restaurant with Executive Chef Shawn Patrick at the helm of the kitchen. “I think we serve a nice niche,” says co-owner Keogh. “Locals can come in and have a burger, a piece of fish or a cocktail in a comfortable atmosphere. We’re a great neighborhood spot.” While the restaurant serves up dinner—modern pub food, locally sourced and organic when possible—seven days a week, Sunday calls for a change in menu from September through June. “When we spent some time in the city, we loved brunch,” says Keogh. “Chef Patrick came from the city, a

place where brunch is important, so it was a no-brainer to offer it.” The menu offers breakfast selections including avocado toast with smoked salmon, greens, red onion and a poached egg; the SBT Benny complete with an English muffin, ham, poached egg, potato hash and Bearnaise sauce; rancheros with a crispy corn tortilla, sunny eggs, black beans, avocado, salsa verde and cotija cheese; French toast topped with pumpkin-spice whipped cream; and steak and eggs served with potato hash and chimichurri sauce. “The most popular items on the menu are the avocado toast, the steak and eggs, and we do a great eggs Benedict,” says Keogh. “I think that’s a staple of a good brunch cheat meal, especially if you had a big Saturday night.” A unique item featured on the brunch menu is the Tuscan baked eggs: two eggs baked in soft polenta with tomato and fontina cheese. For those more in the mood for lunch, Schout Bay Tavern has a few options, from the Tuscan kale Caesar with the option to add an egg, to the fried chicken with cider slaw, Calabrian chili aioli and pickles on a sesame bun or the SBT burger complete with smoked Vermont cheddar,

bacon and tavern sauce. While the entrées are filling on their own, add a side of applewood smoked bacon, two eggs any style, mac and cheese with pork belly or seasoned house fries to any meal. “Brunch is just another time to meet up with friends and family,” says Keogh of why brunch has gotten so popular. “It’s just an afternoon to get together.” Schout Tavern is located at 118 Plandome Road in Manhasset.

The Strathmore-Vanderbilt Country Club blends traditions of the past with nuances of the present By Jennifer Fauci The Strathmore-Vanderbilt Country Club (SVCC) is very traditional. While some may think that such elite clubs in Gold Coast mansions are a way of times past, a fresh approach to inclusivity means one thing: family. “Whether someone’s grandparents played here before or they got married here, our philosophy is always about keeping with tradition but trying to start new traditions as well,” says General Manager Donald Feimer. In the mid 1800s, the land that would later become Strathmore-Vanderbilt was originally part of an estate belonging to a wealthy farmer in the sugar business. Years later, the property became used as a country estate, with the likes of the Whitney, Payson, Paley, Kelly and Bull families frequenting the scene. When the next owner, an ice cream and candy entrepreneur named Louis Sherry came along, he redecorated the house in a French Château style. The home included a formal garden and a library off the foyer, which was purchased in France and replete with wood paneling and books. Upon Sherry’s death in 1923, the home and its 700 acres was sold to Frank A. Munsey, an American newspaper and magazine publisher, who decided to remodel the home. Renovations included an extension of the house with two wings of pink brick and imported stone trim around the arched windows; an octagonal tower, which borrowed heavily in design from Louis XV’s château by importing French marble fireplaces and mantles, brass fixtures for the windows and doors, and commissioning a hand-painted mural for the ceiling of the Marie

Antoinette dining room. Despite his architectural overhaul, Munsey never formally occupied the home and died a bachelor, leaving his entire estate to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The secondary name of the club is owed to Graham Fair Vanderbilt, a descendant of the Vanderbilt family and fortune, who purchased the house with 100 acres from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. For a decade, the property was used as a summer home and provided the luxurious setting for garden parties and social gatherings, which New York’s wealthiest attended. The property was ultimately inherited by Consuelo Vanderbilt, who later sold the house and the 100 acres to William Levitt, an architect and builder gaining prominence in developing various Strathmore communities in Manhasset. He named his new acquisition Strathmore-Vanderbilt, as it is known today. Levitt centered his architectural design plans on the picturesque view of the French Château at the end of the long tree-lined drive. He conceived the idea of an association of property owners who would share in its continued maintenance and benefit from its facilities. “In 1939, the property was given to the residents of Strathmore to be their clubhouse and social center,” says Feimer. “What began as a club strictly for residents would later evolve into a true family club.” Today, the Strathmore-Vanderbilt is situated on nine acres and includes hard tennis courts, a basketball court, a pool and a children’s playground and recreation room in the gatehouse. Feimer notes that as with any commercial business operating in an historic home, rooms have been restored or upgraded. There is a bridal suite upstairs for weddings as well as dining areas. A ballroom on the first floor was added on. However, some of the window treatments, the light fixtures, the library and the mirrored ceiling in the Marie Antoinette dining room has remained untouched. “It’s the tug and pull of the new and old trying to meet that’s the challenge of decorating an 80-year-old clubhouse,” says Feimer.

The mansion in 1939 and today.

SVCC continues to be the North Shore’s premiere family-oriented club, affording families the opportunity to enjoy numerous activities, sports and recreational facilities, as well as the grounds, which are utilized on a daily basis during the summer months. “It’s a place where people can come and socialize with their friends and neighbors. The club is opened up to all Manhasset residents, and we have families from all over Manhasset joining together here,” says Feimer, noting that the SVCC’s junior tennis program, summer swim team, green and white races and a summer sport program continue to grow. “The amenities and formalities have changed, and it has evolved to a younger style club with casual dining and casual dress attire, but we’re evolving with the times.” With a multitude of events throughout the year, there is always something going on at the club. A member of the Manhasset Chamber of Commerce, the SVCC hosts chamber meetings, the Kiwanis Club, the Women’s Club, as well as working with St. Mary’s and Manhasset High Schools and hosting those institutions’ sports dinners. The SVCC also hosts the sixth grade graduations for Munsey and Shelter Rock schools. “Everything is done here on premises,” says Feimer of the SVCC’s full scale a la carte restaurant. “We have a full-time chef, who has been here for 15 years, and we do weddings, bat mitzvahs, holidays, happy hours and different types of events.” Feimer added that the club is open 10 months out of the year but during the summer high season, it is completely full. From outdoor dining on patios and fun by the pool to barbecues and specialty nights like a men’s steak night, it is important to blend the old with the new. “We try to do a little bit of everything to get everyone here,” says Thais Laguna, assistant to controller Wendy Zoeller. “Some of our older

members—our oldest member is around 90 years old— enjoy the Italian family night. It’s very old world with different scenery, music and dancing. The international nights really attract the older members.” In celebration of its 80th year, the SVCC has planned ’80s themed events throughout the year. Bringing the club into the 21st century is key to enticing new members. However, the hardest part is garnering attention for the SVCC because as a private club and 501c, it is difficult to advertise. To help with that is Laguna, who also handles the marketing and social media aspect of the club. “We’re trying to stay current with technology because of our younger members and we plan on upgrading our website to be more engaged with social media because we know that’s where things are headed,” she said. “Events get broadcast to members digitally and sent out in a physical print newsletter to the older members who don’t use technology, but even some of them are creating media accounts as that is how their children and grandchildren like to stay in touch.” The Strathmore-Vanderbilt, which is often compared to Oheka Castle in Huntington, is what Feimer calls “the most hidden gem up in the North Shore” as a functioning working business and club. “A lot of people don’t even know we’re here, but we’re proud to keep it running,” he says. “It’s been here for 80 years, and we don’t see it going anywhere. The Strathmore-Vanderbilt Country Club is located at 260 Country Club Drive in Manhasset.

A look at the expansive history of Munsey Park

ucked away on the Gold Coast of Long Island, you will find the quaint and secluded Village of Munsey Park. Even though Munsey Park is quite a small village, its history has been an expansive one since its establishment began in the late 1800s. In 1860, approximately 60 settlers were granted title to land in Manhasset. The rolling terrain, later to become the Strathmore-Vanderbilt Country Club, was part of the vast Spreckels Estate that belonged to a wealthy farmer in the sugar business. In 1906, the title was given to William Chester, who subdivided the land by

selling it for use as a country estate to people whose names appeared prominently on the society lists of New York City. It marked the beginning of an elegant period that featured weekend country leisure, with riding and entertaining as favored activities. In 1914, Chester sold the remaining part of his holdings—a French Château—to an ice cream and candy entrepreneur, Louis Sherry, who was enamored by the well-balanced architecture and proceeded to redecorate the house to resemble the Petite Trianon, a cottage of Marie Antoinette at Versailles. When Sherry died in 1923, the house was sold to English author Frank A. Munsey, who

was the owner of the New York Sun, The Baltimore Sun and the Munsey Trust Company. Also an art connoisseur and the patron of the arts, Munsey was critical of Sherry’s architect and undertook a grandiose remodeling that lasted two years and cost $2.5 million. Through additional purchases, Munsey amassed close to 663 acres of property. The estate included all of present-day Munsey Park, extending south across North Hempstead Turnpike, which is now known as Northern Boulevard, into the Strathmores, abutting the Nicholas Brady (Inisfada) Estates on the east and to the approximate location of Deepdale Drive on the west.

was a prominent and conservative newspaper publisher who accumulated a fortune that was estimated at more than $40 million when he died in 1925. Munsey, who didn’t have any family, left his entire estate and assets to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum sought the most effective means of converting the land into funds, which could be used to enhance their superb art collections. Graham Fair Vanderbilt, a scion of the Vanderbilt family and fortune, offered to purchase the house with 100 acres from the Metropolitan Museum. The property was inherited by Consuelo Vanderbilt, who sold the house and its property to architect and builder William Levitt, who gained prominence in developing various “Strathmore” communities in Manhasset. To reflect the generosity of Munsey, the syndicate engaged by the museum for the initial land development was the Hasset Realty Company, headed by Alexander M. Bing with other notable associates, such as William S. Coffin, Douglas L. Elliman and Elliot Cross. Coordinating with the museum’s directors, a first tract of 83 acres was converted into a prime residential community named Munsey Park, which was originally called Munsey Meadows. The streets were named for American artists to signify the museum’s role. By January of 1929, not only was the community growing, but a community spirit and character was growing as well. A year in 1930 later, Munsey Park elected its first mayor, Herman Block.

After a big boom within the village in terms of occupancy, a business district for the convenience of local residents was of importance, and soon plans for the erection of a commercial building of harmonious styling at the Munsey Park Shopping Center were underway. The building would not only have space for nine stores, but also a fine community meeting room. It was opened officially June 1, 1931, shortly after the election of Marion Rodgers, the village’s second mayor. A most significant event occurred May 29, 1932, with the formal opening of a new 18-hole, 6,600-yard, par 71 Munsey Park Golf Club with accommodations for 400 members. In 1935, Fred W. Wulfing was elected as Munsey Park’s

MANHASSET PRESS MAGAZINE

fourth mayor after Harold B. Callis’ term as mayor was over. Wulfing and his administration had effects on the village that are still felt today, such as the proposal to dead-end all through streets, except Park Avenue for east-west traffic, and Manhasset Woods Road for north-south traffic. By the end of 1936 the museum, the village’s largest taxpayer, was operating the golf club at a continuing deficit. A year later, the Munsey Park Golf Club closed forever and Wulfing announced at a Munsey Park Association meeting that the second nine holes, the portion south of Park Avenue, would be developed. Wulfing revealed the happy news that three acres had been set aside for a park and playground by the

museum. It was not actually developed until 1940, when W.P.A. workers did groundwork and added a water main to the pond. Concrete benches, which had been in use at the 1939 World’s Fair at the House of Jewels exhibit, were donated to the park by a resident, Mr. K.I. Van Cott. Today, Copley Park is one of the loveliest and most natural areas in the village. In March of 1941 Mayor Wulfing was succeeded by H. Earle Dow. The village took time out to observe, not without concern, William Levitt’s plans for a “Fifth Avenue Shopping Center” on Northern Boulevard, which ultimately ushered in the “Miracle Mile” concept for commercial districts. In March of 1945, when Mayor Dow announced he would not be a candidate for a third term, C.C. Kohlheyer accepted the position as mayor. Three years later, Kohlheyer’s tendered resignation had to be accepted due to his extended absence overseas. From among the trustees, G. Schuyler Tarbell was elected to complete the unexpired term as mayor. In a surprising, and the only contested, mayoral election in village history, Coleman R. Sample, president of the Munsey Park Association, was chosen as the village’s eighth mayor in a write-in vote. August 21, 1949, the Lutheran Church broke ground for a new church on Northern Boulevard opposite B. Altman’s. The Church of Our Saviour, Lutheran, erected on one of Manhasset’s highest pieces of ground, became the eighth church in Manhasset’s history.

need for a single facility was essential and in 1972 the board authorized preliminary drawings for a village hall that might be built on the Sargent Place property purchased in 1950 from Dr. Butman. Excavation was started in May 1974 and the building was ready for occupancy six months later, with an open house dedication held on Dec. 8, 1974. Since that date the Munsey Park Village government has been centralized at 1777 Northern Boulevard. Donald H. Miller became mayor in March 1975; four years later in 1979, a precedent was established with the election of Munsey Park’s 17th mayor, the first woman so elected. Louise V. Reebel. Since its establishment, Munsey Park has been governed by citizens, who have been devoted to making the village the great place it is to live today.

Mortimer J. Gleeson succeeded Mayor Hayes G. Shimp as the village’s 10th mayor of Munsey Park in 1954. During this period, plans for the construction of Bonwit Teller were drawn and approved for the business district. This store was completed and opened to the public in 1956. Russell D. Higgins became the eleventh mayor in 1958 and was succeeded by William Dailey in 1960. Two years later when Harold E. Johnson took office, his term would coincide with one of the last heavy development periods in the village. In 1966, J. Roy Price took office and served as mayor until 1971 when John C. Heim was elected as Munsey Park’s 15th mayor. The village board was still meeting in a small rented room in the Munsey Park office building.

A BLUEPRINT for WELLNESS Dietitians at St. Francis Hospital put their whole heart into cancer care By Jennifer Fauci

St. Francis Hospital is known for its reputation as The Heart Center, quite literally and figuratively. With a staff at the top of their game, the focus turns to the team of warm and caring dietitians that truly put their heart into the cancer care of patients. The hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to health and wellness has earned high marks for 12 years, with U.S. News & World Report ranking it the best hospital for cardiology on Long Island.

he Cancer Institute at St. Francis Hospital was initiated in 2013 and what began in the hospital as an outpatient confined to a single floor with oncologists and a few beds for infusions, quickly grew to a need for an entire building. The outpatient, state-of-the-art facility is now conveniently located minutes away from the hospital campus at 2200 Northern Boulevard in East Hills. “St. Francis gave me the opportunity to specialize in a special field like oncology late in my career and be the first registered dietitian in The Cancer Institute,” says dietitian Julie Ceyhan. “I’m very proud of the role I played (and continue to play). Luckily I’ve been able to work with a dream team.” In addition, a radiation facility was also opened on the same campus. With everything under one roof, collaboration is made easier between oncologists and dietitians. Many oncology dietitians agree that nutrition puts power back into the patient’s hands. And equipping patients with information about their health and wellness is just one small part of their job. Christina Adduci is the Clinical Nutrition Manager at St. Francis and is also a board-certified

specialist in oncology nutrition. It is her job to develop and maintain policies, procedures and programs to ensure that all nutrition care activities comply with the standards established by local, state and federal regulatory agencies for optimal nutrition care for patients at both St. Francis Hospital and The Cancer Institute at St. Francis Hospital. “The nutrition programs at The Cancer Institute are constantly evolving largely due to our patients’ feedback. In addition, we have close working relationships with other departments and organizations, within and outside The Cancer Institute, to provide a unified approach to patient care,” says Adduci of how the programs get developed. “I work alongside a very passionate and enthusiastic nutrition team both inpatient and outpatient and our patients mean everything to us. We put them front and center when creating new programs in order to maintain high quality care and provide the best possible patient experience.” Adduci says that she and her colleagues do their best to put themselves in their patients’ shoes to truly feel what those patients are feeling.

Although she is also a dietitian at St. Francis, Karen Berg wears a lot of hats. While she sees patients who are currently undergoing active treatment for different types of cancers, helping them through their journey, she also works with grant writers for the hospital’s nutrition programs and helps to assess the community’s needs for information. “People are just starving for information on nutrition, which plays a huge role in your life at any given point,” says Berg, who created the Eat. Chat. Move. series for breast and gynecological cancer patients. “We ask people what else they want to know and what they need from us.” In Rayna Herskowitz’s unique role at the hospital, she divides her week as a clinical dietitian in both the outpatient setting, through The Cancer Institute at St. Francis Hospital, as well as the inpatient setting through the hospital. “I get to follow our patients through different stages of their treatment course,” says Herskowitz. “Throughout my work week, I speak with patients and families to complete nutrition assessments and nutrition education. Specific to my outpatient role, I participate in

many free programs for community members.” Throughout the year, Herskowitz teaches the Eat. Chat. Move. program with Berg and also works with other oncology dietitians to develop Cooking is Caring, gather prizes and donations for Survivorship Day and attends health fairs. “We work with many members of the St. Francis Team, including our dedicated social workers to put on events for community members, such as The Summer Series,” she says of the many programs that provide an opportunity to teach about nutrition. “Working in the ever-evolving field of nutrition is a really special opportunity and after all, we are all touched by food.” For the past 12 years in a row, St. Francis has been ranked as the number one hospital in cardiology. According to Stefani Pappas, a senior clinical oncology dietitian at The Cancer Institute, St. Francis has taken its excellence in heart health and expanded that into their oncology services, led by distinguished oncologist Bhoomi Mehrotra, M.D. “Our outpatient Cancer Institute houses all-inclusive care: medical oncology, radiation oncology, infusion care and radiology are all together under one roof, which allows patient needs to be met in an efficient manner and assists our interdisciplinary team in working collaboratively,” says Pappas, who is also a board certified specialist in oncology nutrition and works

alongside Ceyhan, Berg and Herskowitz. “Good nutrition during cancer treatment is imperative to help meet the increased nutritional demands required to support the healing process. Nutrition therapy is used to help cancer patients maintain a healthy body weight, preserve strength, keep body tissue healthy, and decrease side effects both during and after treatment.” As with any illness, the benefits of good nutrition is vital. During cancer treatment, proper nutrition helps reduce complications, provide better quality of life, and most importantly, allows for the patient’s body to tolerate full treatment as prescribed. “As oncology dietitians, we also work with patients throughout the cancer continuum, which includes prevention, during treatment and survivorship,” says Pappas, who participates in several health fairs and speaking engagements throughout the year with her colleagues, educating the public on cancer prevention strategies. “We hope to continue to provide innovative and informative programs to our patients throughout the cancer continuum. Receiving a cancer diagnosis is overwhelming, but nutrition is one of the few things that patients have control and power over during treatment.” St. Francis Hospital is located at 100 Port Washington Boulevard in Roslyn.

HITTING the RESET BUTTON A master chef takes over the Engineers Country Club By Dave Gil de Rubio

estled among 210 acres in Roslyn Harbor on Long Island’s North Shore, the Engineers Country Club is a premier private club whose origins date back to 1917. Currently enjoying a major renovation, the club is accepting new members and reservations for private functions or golf outings. Part of the club’s rebirth is the hiring of Master Chef Steven De Bruyn, who previously had stints at the New York Athletic Club, but was best known for running the kitchen over at the Garden City Hotel from 1994 through 2012. Having spent most of the past few years working as a personal chef, De Bruyn is thrilled to be back on Long Island, particularly at the Engineers Country Club. “Now, I’m back in my old neighborhood and everyone seems to be very excited,” he says. “Long Island is where I started to grow roots.” Hailing from Belgium, De Bruyn studied at Ter Duinen, the most reputable culinary school in his native country. While there, he developed a love for international cuisines and local flavors. It’s an experience he got to recently relive last year working in Provence in the south of France. While there, he ran the kitchen of his friend’s five-bedroom inn, Domaine de Claude, preparing nightly farmto-table tasting menus. It was an experience De Bruyn looks back on fondly.

“We did a nightly tasting menu. All the ingredients and fruits that we used were from our own orchard, and we even made the olive oil ourselves,” he says. “It was really cool. The goat cheese was from a little bit up the hill, and we used goat milk in our desserts. It was an awesome experience. It was very close to the coastline. Actually, one of the housekeepers’ brothers-in-law was the fisherman who we got our fish from.” It’s this kind of organic approach to cooking that De Bruyn is looking to bring to the Engineers Country Club. “My goal is to not offer what I was doing in Garden City. I want to offer them something a little bit more personalized, more towards a country club setting and much better than what I was doing back then. I always try to do better today than what I did yesterday,’ De Bruyn explains. “I like to bring a little bit of the farmto-table type feel to the club. Nothing over the top. Something we can still relate to, but with a nice little twist.”

The Engineers Country Club is located at 55 Glenwood Road in Roslyn Harbor. Visit engineerscc.com or call 516-621-5350 for more information.

Raising The Barre Pure Barre Manhasset brings a new world of workouts to town

By Allison Eichler

f you’ve ever searched “barre” on the Internet, you’ve probably seen images of women in tank tops and leggings, high ponytails bobbing as they hold light dumbbells out to either side or pulse in a squat position with a small rubber ball balanced between each thigh. The workout appears to be simple enough, but as any Pure Barre class-goer can attest, it isn’t at all what it seems. “It’s always challenging, it’s always different,” says Jenny Bernholz, co-owner with

Deena Cavalli of Pure Barre Manhasset. “This is such a challenging workout every single time, and it’s really getting results. It specifically targets the arms, the abs, the seat and the thighs.” Bernholz and Cavalli both grew up playing sports, and the duo met while playing Division I lacrosse at The George Washington University. Each woman left lacrosse in the

past after earning her degree, but never gave up an active lifestyle. Enter Pure Barre. Bernholz, with her passion for marathons, found Pure Barre as her favorite complement to running. Combined with moving to Long Island with her husband and discovering there was no Pure Barre location in the area, Bernholz took her newfound love for the workout

and turned it into a business opportunity. “I never really had it in my head to open a business, but once I learned a little bit more about the company and then how you open a franchise, I talked to Deena and it’s really been wonderful,” explains Bernholz, who celebrated the five-year anniversary of their Pure Barre opening this past January. “This community has been so warm and welcoming from day one. We got really, really lucky.” The studio offers three different classes: Pure Barre,

the 50-minute classic format that guides clients through low-impact, high intensity movements to strengthen and tone muscles; Pure Reform, a 50-minute resistance-based strength training class that incorporates resistance bands and sliders; and Pure Empower, a 45-minute fusion of barre and interval training that uses ankle and wrist weights to keep the heart rate up for the duration of the class. Each class holds no more than 20 guests, with a waitlist holding another 20 guests hopeful for a spot. The studio discourages distractions and asks that clients leave their cell phones, along with their shoes, in the provided complimentary lockers. All necessary equipment like dumbbells, mats, resistance bands, rubber balls and sliders are provided by the instructor. Attire may be anything you’re comfortable in (don’t forget socks), but guests are advised not to wear shorts. First-timers are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes early to fill out a waiver and familiarize themselves with the space. “We generally say allow yourself to be a beginner no matter your background,” Bernholz says. “It’s always going to be challenging, whether it’s your

first class or your thousandth class.” And Bernholz doesn’t lie.

Pure Barre strengthens and tones the entire body.

Pure Barre is certainly no walk in the park. Clients leaving the studio thank her for an intense workout and joke that they’ll be feeling the burn for days. Sample a class, and you’ll quickly understand. The sweat pours faster than you think it will, and you’ll be certain to mumble expletives while tucking, holding and pulsing your way to a leaner body. As studio owners, Cavalli and Bernholz not only receive the physical benefits of constantly participating in barre classes, but they also receive the gratification of providing community members with the same sense of physical accomplishment. “Just when someone comes up to you, maybe they’re new to Pure Barre, and they talk

about the changes in their body and how much stronger they feel,” Bernholz says of what is most rewarding for her in co-owning the studio and bringing Pure Barre to Manhasset. “Seeing people smile when they work out, smile when they leave, it’s a sense of accomplishment that you’re helping someone achieve. I love it, I love what I do.” With both women coming out of college with businessrelated degrees and a passion for athletics, Bernholz comments that it simply made sense for the pair to open Pure Barre in their community. Manhasset residents and those who have never tried the workout before are welcome to a free trial class. After that,

The event is the hottest ticket in town and sold out in days. The annual fundraiser was held once again at Plandome Country Club, and the revelers didn’t disappoint, as they dressed in their glittery best to boogie oogie oogie the night away. Adding to the evening’s effervescence were ’70s-era “roller girls,” sparkling mirror-ball creatures and a funky soundtrack provided by DJ Steven Retas that kept partygoers on the dance floor all night long. An incredible array of raffles and silent auction items offered attendees the opportunity to further support Tower’s philanthropic initiatives, which this year focused on raising money to sponsor additional “Future Ready” classrooms in Manhasset’s schools. “Our organization could not flourish to the capacity which we have throughout the years without the overwhelming generosity of our sponsors, donors, benefactors and event attendees,” reflects co-president Jodi Mondiello. “The success of the Tower Foundation of Manhasset has been accomplished through the mutual vision of enriching and enhancing the overall experiences of our Manhasset students. The entire board and community are thankful for your continued support and look forward to continuing our perpetual mission.” For more information on the Tower Foundation of Manhasset and its past and present initiatives, visit towerfoundation.com.

SCA

Makes School Fun And Fulfilling By Elizabeth Johnson

The Manhasset School Community Association (SCA) is the largest nonprofit organization in Manhasset. The SCA consists of parents, interested residents of the community and members of the school faculty and unites these various facets of the public school district into one dynamic and effective organization. Its purpose is to promote closer cooperation between teachers and parents, school and community, to further at all times, the best interests of young people and to confer highest advantages in physical, mental, social and ethical education. The SCA is run by an executive committee currently headed by Mary Beth Accurso and Nancy Schlaefer who are the executive presidents of the organization. Each school in the district has their own president and board who assist the school, along with myriad chairpeople, committees and liaisons. Volunteers are what make the SCA so successful. “Parent involvement is a key to a child’s success,” says Accurso, who is the mother of five children. “Being a part of the Manhasset SCA for 17 years has given me the opportunity to develop close relationships with other parents, support our teachers and administrators, and provide a multitude of programs for the students due to the SCA’s fundraising efforts.” The SCA provides special programs that target specific areas of a child’s experience at their school.

programs are held throughout the year that give students in the district an opportunity to enjoy extracurricular activities and enrich their school experience. “The SCA is all about community, and giving every family the chance to be involved and engaged no matter how much or little time they have,” says Schlaefer. “It’s incredibly gratifying to work with so many parent volunteers teaming up with our teachers and administrators to achieve one common goal: the best educational experience for our students.” Numerous programs that used to be funded by the school have been supplemented or wholly assumed by the SCA, such as field trips for the elementary school students and morning and afternoon programs including Extended Extras, which provide classes, such as yoga, Spanish, Sign Language or S.T.E.M to elementary students before school begins. Saturday Series is a weekend program that is run in the fall and spring offering exciting courses like cooking, theater and so much more. All these

programs are run with a budget and by volunteers from the community. They enrich elementary students’ life, but need an army of volunteers in order for the programs to be offered. “I have felt connected with the community by sharing a common goal of creating the best educational environment for our Manhasset students,” says Accurso. The biggest fundraiser for the SCA comes the first Saturday of May: the SCA Fair, held at Munsey Park Elementary School. The SCA Fair is set for Saturday, May 4, and it is the perfect family day for young and old. This time-honored tradition has been in place for 68 years. It will showcase the school’s talent onstage and offer shopping under the big tent, food from all corners of the world, games and, of course, rides for all ages. Parents are able to purchase all-day ride bracelets in advance of the date. The fair is enjoyed by many, especially those bargain hunters who enjoy Attic Treasurers looking for beautiful plants to adorn their garden. Volunteers are desperately needed to help sell ice cream, tickets, food, books, rock-climbing sessions, etc. Supporting the SCA enables a variety of programs to enrich the education and social life of Manhasset’s children through curriculum-related enrichment programs, including dance performances, guest authors, science museum presentations and more. The family theater series offers two live Saturday matinée performances each year. Recreational programs, such as Halloween parties and dances, are also organized. Summer Studies Awards are given to high school juniors to explore individual areas of interest, and college grants are provided to graduating seniors who need financial help in paying for post-secondary education.

student athletes and motivate them,” says Amen. “Their goal should be to set standards for them and hold them accountable. [We want] coaches who want to teach, emphasis sportsmanship, and be a good role model. It’s very important for a coach to be a good role model.” Amen’s role as athletic director also involves helping out anyone he can. He always keeps the door open for student athletes, coaches and parents for any questions or suggestions they may have. He is there for as many games as possible to support the teams in the wins and the losses. He’s always thrilled to see the hard work every student puts in as they play sports. “I’ve been in the business this long because of the children,” says Amen. “Just seeing them succeed, and perhaps lending them a hand when they don’t succeed, is what makes me proud. I don’t really have a hand in the championships and playoff berths but it’s nice to be a part of it. When people congratulate me on the basketball season, I tell them that I don’t coach the team. I only sign the purchase order for the new uniforms. But it’s always nice to see effort. Win, lose or draw, if I see effort,

that’s really an exciting thing to me.” The school has done a lot to make Manhasset a great place for athletics by way of its great facilities. They have turf fields for baseball and softball, as well as turf installed in their main stadium. They have two gymnasiums (one for middle school, one for high school) and a fitness center, as well as a wrestling room that was recently renovated. “These facilities are here thanks to the support of the school district, the upper administration, the parents and the [Manhasset Booster Club],” says Amen. “The kids have a wonderful facility, and we are always trying to improve things. There’s not anyone who comes to our school and doesn’t say ‘Wow, this is a nice facility.’” There’s always something that Amen is looking to improve, and he certainly tries to do everything he can to have those in his department improve as well. That may means having coaches go to clinics or bringing in motivational speakers to address the student athletes and work with

Congregational Nursery School Celebrates 61 Years Operating as a Community Preschool.

‘‘ ’’ Manhasset Secondary School’s athletic department is among the most successful on the island. Most recently, the boys basketball team made the state finals while the girls lacrosse team is coming off a state championship. (Photos courtesy of Manhasset Athletics)

Just seeing them succeed and perhaps lending them a hand when they don’t succeed is what makes me proud. —Jim Amen

the captains on the teams. Amen also emphasizes that the athletic program would not be thriving if it wasn’t for the support of the parents and the community. “When you are a parent, you have a stake in your child’s upbringing from academics to athletics,” says Amen. “They are interested in their kids succeeding and we try to assist that. Community involvement is so important. They support the school budget. The booster club is so important because they support the athletic program.” The town has had a huge impact on the sports in the area, and the booster club has been a huge contributor with the help of Manhasset PAL Lacrosse, Indian’s Rock and the Manhasset PAL Baseball Unit. The booster club also purchased a new scoreboard for the baseball field that will be coming later in 2019. “The booster club should really get a huge pat on the back for their support of the coaches and players,” says Amen. “It’s a great group of parents and community members. The board of education should also be applauded. They advocate for athletics, academics and the arts. They know we need athletics.” The influence a coach has on a child is immeasurable. Amen hopes that the work that he does will leave a lasting impact on students as they continue to grow. “The most important thing is that when you are in the position that I am in, you have to own the job and be there for people,” says Amen. “I’ve had a lot of proud moments at Manhasset.”

Congregational Nursery School, located at 1845 Northern Blvd. in Manhasset, (right across from the Apple Store), has a few more openings for September 2019 in our Pre-K classes and early 5’s class. Our Pre-K and early 5’s classes include yoga and Fun Day Monday! Afternoon enrichment classes available as well! If you ask one of our graduates about their preschool experience they will tell you that they “played a lot” and missed their playtime when they went off to kindergarten. Our philosophy is “learning through play,” which has withstood the test of time. This natural approach to learning through play is the cornerstone of Congregational Nursery School. Our program is designed to guide the developing child toward the important concepts of sharing, respect and recognition of each other’s feelings while participating in a group environment. Our activities promote creative thinking, self-respect, responsibility and good citizenship. While we embrace the new technology that has made our lives so much easier, we feel our students need to be immersed in socialization skills,

not their iPads. We are focused on pre-reading, pre-writing and language activities that all lead to kindergarten readiness. Our program times are as follows: • The 2’s separation program is Tues/Thurs or Wed/Fri from 9 to 11 adding Monday as an optional morning. • The 3’s program is four days per week (Tuesday through Friday) from 9:00-12:00. • The 4’s and early 5’s program are five days per week (Monday through Friday) from 9am-12pm. • Our enrichment program for all Pre-K students is 1pm to 3pm. Children need time to laugh, explore, experiment and create as they begin their educational journey. We would love to be part of that journey!

Manhasset By Christina Claus

pscale shopping, the Strathmores and Vanderbilts and the inspiration for East Egg in The Great Gatsby. These are just a few things that come to mind when one hears the word “Manhasset.” But for those who live in the hamlet with multiple villages—including the Plandomes, Munsey Park, North Hills and Flower Hill—Manhasset is the place of summer evenings at Mary Jane Davies Green, eating dinner at Louie’s Manhasset or saying “hello” to neighbors while walking down Plandome Road. Locals, like Shelly Scotto, and previous residents who can’t forget their love of their hometown like Jeffrey Widell, share memories and the reasons they love Manhasset.

Shelly Scotto, real estate agent and resident “It’s easy to sell real estate where you live and love. Manhasset’s convenience, beauty and town camaraderie makes it’s a wonderful place to live.”

Joan LaPallo, store manager of DUXIANA “There is so much I love about Manhasset, where do I begin? Manhasset is an exciting, thriving community of beautiful homes, plentiful shopping, five-star dining, and some of the best schools and healthcare in the country! But what I really love most about working in the Manhasset community for the last 20-plus years is meeting the wonderful families that I have come to know and continue to enjoy.”

Jeffrey Widell, prior resident “My father and I used to ride horses at Lakeville Stable located on the service road between Community Drive and Lakeville road. We used to cross Community Drive and wander for hours on horseback on Whitney Estates, through big open fields as well as wooded areas. We used to pick the largest and greenest apples from one of the orchards. I recall that there was also a radio station in the middle of one of the fields. Nearly 55 years later, I have come to realize that these are the best memories of my life. I now live in Milwaukee and continue in the equestrian sports.”

Bill Hannan, resident “People love living in Manhasset and raising their children here not because it is a great community. They do it because it is a great family. A family that has each other’s backs, that picks each other up after loss, and celebrates in another’s victory. It is a family with a conscience. A family where your children are not only safe, but can thrive. Where else would I want to live?”
