One of the favorite events that will take place during this year’s Pride in Port celebration is the Parade. Aside from participation by all Port Washington schools, Police and Fire Departments and dozens of organizations, is the selection of a Grand Marshal chosen to lead the Parade. The Grand Marshals for the 34th Pride in Port Parade will be The Nicholas Center Navigators.
The Nicholas Center’s core values include community service—The Nicholas Center Navigators assist, support and volunteer with local non-profit organizations by engaging in community service projects. This serves to achieve their mission of “being woven into the fabric of the community.”
Currently, the Navigators volunteer with more than 25 local organizations, including the Port Washington Public Library, Port Washington Chamber of Commerce, North Shore Animal League, the Business Improvement District, and Plant a Row for the Hungry.
“The Nicholas Center is honored to be recognized as an integral part of the Port Washington community as Grand Marshals for Pride in Port 2023,” The Nicholas Center’s Co-Founder Stella L. Spanakos said. “For a population facing 85 percent unemployment and under-engagement, marching in a
parade means acceptance and inclusion..it means the world! We are thrilled!”
While this is the first year The Nicholas Navigators will march as Grand Marshals, they are cheered on as they march the parade route each year along with their peers from The Nicholas Center and Spectrum Designs Foundation.
Founded in 2011, The Nicholas Center
has revolutionized the way autistic adults learn, live and work by offering vocational training, supported employment, meaningful community-based projects and vital peer connections. Visit tncnewyork.org to learn more about this vibrant and important organization.
In 1990, within the former Port Washington News building on lower Main Street, a grand community tradition was born.
One afternoon, Roy Smitheimer, the President of the Chamber of Commerce at the time, strolled into Andrea Mastrocinqe-Martone’s office, then the Editor in Chief of the Port Washington News, with the idea of the two organizations partnering to create a one-day festival centered around celebrating Port Washington. Through several rounds of brainstorming, the concept of Pride in Port was formed.
From the beginning, the goal of the event was to unify the town, much like Mastrocinque-Martone’s aim when taking over the newspaper.
“When I got the job at the Port News I wanted to take the paper into a whole new direction. I wanted it to be the people’s paper,” said MastrocinqueMartone. “I wanted it to be read by every group in Port Washington. And how do you do that? Well, by including every faction of society in Port, which includes the senior citizens, the school district, the fire department, the police department, the Chamber of Commerce, the schools, anybody who lives in Port Washington who cares about its history and retaining its hometown climate.”
With this in mind, Smitheimer and Mastrocinque-Martone worked together to plan the first Pride in Port. A parade was quickly selected as the centerpiece of the fall festival. However, as discussions progressed, they saw the possibility of Pride in Port evolving into more than just a parade. Ideas began to form—from a float competition between the district’s elementary schools during the parade and a field day at Weber Middle School to a senior citizens luncheon to an athletic Hall of Fame induction and an Adult Dance, both held at the high school—and the day of events began to take shape.
“In other words, all these different components spawned just from a conversation between two Schreiber [High School] graduates of 1972 who had prominent positions in the community, the Chamber of Commerce president and the Port Washington News editor,” said Mastrocinque-Martone.
With the framework for Pride in Port set, a committee was put together to further plan the event. Representatives from the Police Department, the Fire Department and all three branches of Port Washington’s schools were included, as well as the Commissioner of Parks and Recreation for the Town of
North Hempstead for permitting purposes. Importantly, Barbara Faticone, who would later be the chairwoman for the event, was heavily involved from the start.
“[She] was a Schreiber graduate from I’m going to say 1940 something, and she’s just a wonderful community leader, and we knew that her presence would be instrumental,”
said Mastrocinque-Martone. The planning continued and a date was set for October.
“It [the committee] was a large, diverse group of community people, who all could lend their ideas and brainstorm their ideas to make the first Pride in Port the most amazing thing,” said
Mastrocinque-Martone. “We did that throughout the year, and we earmarked the fall to have it because it was shortly after school started and the weather was perfect.”
Mastrocinque-Martone devoted pages
see HISTORY on page 10C
HISTORY from page 8C
in her newspaper each week to promote Pride in Port and its schedule of events. She recalls a conversation with Karl Anton, the founder of Anton Media Group, regarding the sponsorship of the parade.
“I sat down with him and had coffee with him, and I said, ’Look, I’m asking you to give me space in this paper because this is big.’ I said, ‘If you give me the space, I guarantee you’re going to have advertisements, you know, 10 times the amount of advertisements because they’re going to see the merit of this newspaper,’” said MastrocinqueMartone. “And as it turns out, at the time, he had 26 newspapers in the chain. Do you know that the Port Washington News in one year turned out to be the largest circulation of all the papers and the most financially lucrative?”
Coincidentally, the first Pride in Port coincided with the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Port Washington News, so both were celebrated.
As word spread in the Port Washington News regarding Pride in Port, excitement in the community grew palpable.
“I started to get all kinds of calls and talking with people saying, ‘Hey, this is a great idea,’” said Mastrocinque-Martone. “This was a way to bring everyone together. This was a way to be unified in Port Washington, which is something that had never been done.”
The first Pride in Port began on a beautiful fall morning. Leading the parade was Bob Bartels, the first Grand Marshal and a member of the original committee for the event. Bartels was well-known in the community as an Assistant Principal at Schreiber for 45 years. There have since been grand marshals at every Pride in Port.
As the floats moved down Main Street, the sidewalks overflowed with spectators. At the Port Washington train station, Town of North Hempstead elected officials stood on a platform,
overlooking the event.
Participants and dignitaries alike wore Pride in Port T-shirts. The design was selected through a contest organized by Mastrocinque-Martone, and the shirts were available to purchase with proceeds going toward funding the event.
“We got a local graphic artist who designed the first logo which was fantastic, and everybody had those T-shirts and subsequently, every year there’s been a different logo,” said Mastrocinque-Martone.
The day continued with the senior citizens luncheon, which brought together several unique senior groups. The field activities at Weber and the Hall of Fame presentation at Schreiber followed. The alcohol-free Adult Dance in the Schreiber gymnasium capped the day. A local band was hired and around 120 people purchased tickets. The goal was to show Port Washington’s youth that one could have a great time without illicit substances.
“We thought it was going to be the best idea. Well, let me tell you, one hour later, we were at local bars,” said Mastrocinque-Martone. “And subsequent to that, we ended up having it at the Polish Hall with alcohol and food. There were 500 people that came the next year, and it turned out to be one of the best yearly parties of its time, and it was always held on Pride in Port day.”
Pride in Port has only grown since its founding, astounding MastrocinqueMartone each year.
“My mouth drops when I think that we’re in our 34th year of perpetuating a tradition that was from the ‘90s that we thought was, you know, it could have taken off or it couldn’t have taken off, but it took off big time,” said MastrocinqueMartone. “And these are the memories that will be instilled in our kids when they go off to college and into adult life… They remember the parades, they remember the camaraderie, the love and the feeling of unity.”

As Pat Doyle was growing up, his love of sports, particularly football and lacrosse, began at the age of 8 on Port’s PYA fields, coached by his father Pat, Sr. and the legendary Harvey Cohen.
As a football standout playing fullback and linebacker, Pat was a 3x Varsity letter winner. Playing for Coach Dan Biro, the team may not have been outstanding, but the personal success Pat had in that sport led him to the success that he achieved in lacrosse. He was a 2x captain during his junior and senior years, and named to the Grid Iron 51 team (All-County).
It wasn’t until he was 10 that he was recruited to play goalie. It was said that his coach ‘needed someone who could handle the stick, was fearless and had excellent reflexes’.
As a sophomore, Pat was granted AllDivision honors. As a junior, he had a season high of 250 saves. He was named All-Division and All-County. Senior year, the team finished 14-4, with Pat being named All-Division, All-County and All-American. He was the only goal keeper among 10 other NC players to receive that honor, and the first All-American named for Port Washington for several years, and only goalkeeper to receive such high honors. Pat indicated that he learned to channel his aggression and discipline himself through his participation in sports and particularly in the goal. The fearlessness, skill, determination, fortitude and drive to excel helped shape Pat’s life.
Pat went on to the Naval Academy and then to Cornell University, where as a sophomore, he appeared in all 12 games. As situations presented themselves, Pat then transferred to CW Post, where he was a standout and
As a football and lacrosse standout, Pat Badalato was one of the most respected athletes to participate on the fields of Port Washington. He proved that team camaraderie, the passion of the competition, and the willingness to dedicate himself to the sports he loved would lead to personal success.
Pat played for Coach Biro for three years as a linebacker and half back. He was a not only just a team member of the varsity team for three years with season records of sophomore (5-3) and junior (5-2-1 and 4-4), but served as a captain his senior year. He finished his career with All-County honors and was the recipient of the Leo Costello Award. His football career only aided in his tenacity, skill, aggressiveness, and all around love of the game of lacrosse. As an Attack/Midfield player, Pat was an outstanding player and was described as one of the ‘best’ lacrosse greats of his time. Pat played his sophomore
captain of his team. It was fitting that the ‘end’ of his local playing career was with the North Hempstead Lacrosse Club, back with his adored Coach Cohen.
Upon starting his family in the Delray Beach area of Florida, Pat became frustrated with the miles and time traveled to provide a great lacrosse program for his kids. Initially, involved with the Boca Jets, he asked fellow Port Washington Hall of Famer Chris Kane to help him start a youth program for their area. It was an automatic success, as the program dedicated itself to some 300-400 boys and girls. Initially it started as a youth program, partially modeled after Port’s PYA, however it grew immediately from just a ‘recreational’ program to providing tournament teams named ‘Riptide’. As a great feeder program to the large high schools in the area, ‘Riptide’ soon became a premier lacrosse program for southern Florida.
Pat still lives in the Delray area and has been the President and Vice-President of the Delray Beach Athletic Club for 10 years.
through senior years, each year enjoyed playoff appearances. He was named captain his senior year, and was honored with the MVP award, All-County and Honorable Mention All-American distinction.
Pat started his love of the game as a PYA member of a team full of great athletes and
teammates. Actually undefeated for three years running, lacrosse names include, Marty Bergin, Clint Rowland, Billy Owens, Mark Mauro, Nick Kelly, Timmy O’Connell and many more. His coaches along the way were the many dads who gave their time, knowledge and patience to develop these players into the feeder program for the High School. There were no ‘travel clubs’ then, just hard working fanatics of the game. Coach Case knew that through the years, he didn’t have to teach basics; he was able to bring the team immediately to a higher level.
Pat went on to play locally for Adelphi University, where he was awarded a four year scholarship. During his freshman year, he was part of an exciting starting freshmen midfield line made up of 2 freshmen and 1 sophomore. Adelphi won the DII Championship that year.
He continued to play post collegiately with Harvey’s Lax Club, where he was part of a Championship team, competing with some of the best players in the country, yet playing on an all Port Washington team, and was an All-Club selection.
Whether known as Ms. Joannon, ‘Coach Jo’, or Stephanie, it is more than clear that Stephanie Joannon has been an unwavering part of the Port Washington Physical Education and Athletics Department for a lifetime. She excelled every year, with pride, determination and achievement. Her prowess in the fields of physical education and athletics has shaped the individual that she has been, and continues to be today.
In 1979, Stephanie entered the Port Washington School District and quickly initiated girls’ Varsity soccer. She led her teams over 28 years to 289 wins. Four time conference championships, ‘Coach of the Year’, ‘team sportsmanship awardees’, and served as the Nassau County Girls’ Sports Coordinator.
For 25 years, Stephanie coached girls’ basketball, and under her leadership, the team qualified for the Nassau County playoffs every year, and was the first female basketball coach in the county to win 300 games, a true incredible feat! She had a total career record of 326-180, winning four conference titles. Her dedication, commitment, and efforts for the entire County afforded her 2016 Induction in to the New York State Basketball Hall of Fame.
In her 21 years as the Varsity softball coach, and the FIRST varsity softball coach, Stephanie led her teams to 2 conference titles and a career record of 204-136. She was selected four times as ‘Conference Softball Coach of the Year’.
She said of her coaching career, “The most rewarding aspects of coaching are the relationships with players and the sharing of emotions that come with a varsity season. Coaching enriched my life every day.”
Stephanie became the Director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics of the

As a freshman wrestler he was a standout
Port Washington School District in 2008. In that time, she oversaw the construction of the sunken turf field, bleachers, creation of the upper field and lower turf fields, the transition of the baseball field, and other initiatives. It truly is a monumental job that is never appreciated, as popular and tough decisions are always made. In 2014, she was named “Physical Education Director of the Year” by the NYSAHPERD.
There are numerous other achievements that Stephanie has in her portal. In 2006, she was honored by the NS Sports Commission with its Lifetime Achievement Award. She was honored in the NYSAHPERD as the 2014 ‘Physical Education Director of the Year’, and was honored with the prestigious induction into the Nassau County High School Athletic Hall of Fame, as an administrator and a Coach. Today, we honor Stephanie, not only for her many years of service, but for the love of the game, to honor the coach that changed lives of players in the district, and most of all to show our appreciation for all Stephanie has done for athletics in our community.
at the 152 lb. weight class. During football, he was a two-way player, as a sophomore, led the team as a running back and a linebacker. An MVP that year, and a member of the NYSPHSAA Scholar Athlete Team, sadly, his football career ended with a sidelining injury.
Jeff was the first eighth-grader on the Varsity team. Coach Ken Case termed Jeff as Continues on next page

‘One of the most dynamic and high achieving lacrosse players to have graced these fields. He paved the way not only for other family members, but for other lacrosse greats that idolized him and his excellent ability’. His career at Schreiber broke ground for his achievements that took him to Princeton University, where he continued to enjoy amazing success. As a freshman for Port, he immediately achieved Honorable All-County honors and was granted All-County the following year.
Jeff was selected by Inside Lacrosse Magazine as one of the nation’s top 25 rising juniors. He received All-County honors, Honorable Mention All-American, and was also on the Long Island gold medal team at the NYS Empire games.
Jeff’s strength, fortitude and ability took him far beyond expectations, finishing his high school career with 139 goals, 65 assists, 469 ground balls and a 71 face-off win percentage; his superior work ethic created a remarkable destiny. He was awarded All-American honors from US Lacrosse and Under Armour, won the John Driscoll Award as the County’s Most Outstanding Midfielder, was named to the Newsday All-Long Island team and was also titled All-County. He was again selected by Inside Lacrosse as one of the nation’s Top 50
Incoming College Freshman.
His academics were an integral part of his lacrosse journey, he was awarded Academic All-County by NCLCA, was a part of the NYSPHSAA Scholar Athlete team, 3x NCLCA Academic All-Conference, one-time NCLCA Academic All-County award winner, 2x NYSPHSAA Scholar Athlete team, as well as a NYS Science Honor Society Winner.
No doubt, he went on to be a 3-year starter for Princeton University, yet, playing in every game of his college career, where he achieved top 5 on the team of scoring every year. He was a USILA HM All-American his sophomore year, First team All-Ivy Selection his junior year, a 2x Second team All-Ivy selection during his freshman and senior years, and
as the 2010 and 2012 Ivy League Champions, had NCAA Tournament appearances. He was named Ivy League player of the week, during his junior year, and Ivy League Rookie of the Week each of the first two weeks of the season. He ended his career with 87 goals, 36
Earning 13 Varsity letters through her career, Angela ranks at the top of achievement while at Schreiber. It is also fitting that she be inducted today, as she embodied a strong work ethic, determination to succeed and team effort, no matter the position.
In the fall, playing soccer for 4 years, she earned All-Class as the starting goalkeeper during her sophomore year, finished undefeated in regular season play, and won the Conference V title. She went on to accumulate All-County honors in her junior year, and the team’s MVP award with a total of 117 saves. During her senior year, she was awarded All Class, and a position on the Exceptional Senior Team. In addition, she was the recipient of the Tyler Rauzon Memorial Award.
Basketball was her sport for the winter, and her favorite. As a player since 5, she was the first eighth-grader brought up for the JV team. A participant for 4 Varsity seasons, her
assists, 142 ground balls, and a 47.9 face-off percentage.
The drive and determination is truly remarkable. The principle of hard work is something that has taught him the motivation that he possesses today.

She had easily established her athletic ability during basketball, so when encouraged to play on the Varsity team as an eighth-grader, there was no question. As a freshman, she won All-Conference honors, and Nassau County Conference II Champions. As a sophomore, she was awarded All-County honors and junior and senior years repeated AllConference nods. She also won the Steadfast Award for her exceptional leadership on the team, and unwavering commitment. Upon graduation, Angela was bestowed the Schreiber Athletic Achievement Award and the Tom Romeo Excellence in Physical Education award.
She went on to play Soccer at Adelphi University, and kept involved with the PW Soccer Club, the Fire and Ice Softball Club and LI Extreme Basketball.
It is obvious that athletics and being a team
Before there were awards of All-County or All-American, there was participation and pride with the meaning of being on a team, and what it meant to wear your ‘Varsity Jacket’. Such was the experience of Jack Gibbons.
Jack was a frontrunner and decisive player on the football and basketball teams while at Schreiber. As a ’55-’56 freshman, Jack played

She ‘gave back’ to Port, as a volunteer Softball Coach in 2008 and 2009, and served as the JV Coach in 2010. Angela is presently the newly appointed Athletic Director at Lawrence School District. While working on her Administrative Degree, she served as an intern in the Schreiber Athletic Office last summer.

on the JV football team. During his sophomore year his leadership was recognized, as he was named captain of both JV football and basketball.
As a junior, Jack excelled in football, earning his first varsity letter and duplicated it with his participation in basketball. As a senior, Jack rose to earning the same letters for both sports, but also served as captain for both teams. Upon graduation, he received the prestigious Chet McDonough Award.
Sports and academics took Jack initially to University of Colorado and then on to Colby College; graduating in 1964, he participated his junior and senior years playing basketball, earning Varsity letters both years.
In 1964, Jack entered the Navy; his leadership, with the title of Captain, was a Vietnam Veteran. His passion for sports, allowed him to participate while in the military, as he was named captain of the basketball team at the US Navy Base in Sasebo, Japan. It was there that he received his first honors as a team member, besides a ‘letter’, as he was named to play in the All-Armed Forces Japan
Basketball Tournament in 1965. They were Team Champions, he was named Tournament MVP, as the Tournament scoring leader.
Post-Navy, Jack was hired by the Port Washington School District as a Social Studies Teacher at Weber Jr. High. As a treasured teacher, he taught from 1971-1974 before moving ‘out east’ to Cutchogue, where he was hired at the Mattituck Junior Senior High School.
Although a gifted and well-liked teacher in Mattituck, his passion for sports returned, as he became a coach in 1982 for all four seasons at the school; Jr. High boys’ soccer and basketball, girls’ basketball and co-ed track. He said that his career as an athlete “meant so much more than just playing sports. It was an educational experience that taught me about self-discipline, team work, the value of pushing oneself to excel, sportsmanship, and so many other values that we all should value. Coaching was an opportunity to move student learning from the classroom to the athletic field, as a means to enhance character development.”
Jack retired from teaching in 2002, and became an adjunct Professor for Long Island University. He has written and published a book, a primer on climate change entitled Human-Caused Global Warming and Climate Change: Understanding the Science, where he has taken the science of this difficult, yet pertinent issue, and made it accessible to teachers, students and policy-makers.
One of the favorite events that take place each year during Pride in Port is a luncheon honoring the community’s senior citizens. This year’s Pride in Port celebration will be held on Saturday, September 23. The senior luncheon, which will be held in the Schreiber High School cafeteria, begins at 12:30 p.m. immediately following the parade.
Schreiber High School cheerleaders have graciously volunteered to serve lunch to the senior citizens who attend the luncheon.
For the first time, in lieu of live entertainment, the Pride in Port committee has instead decided to offer free bingo with great prizes to the seniors attending the luncheon.
Schreiber High School is located at 101 Campus Drive and the cafeteria is to the left of the main entrance to the building. Reservations required. Luncheon limited to 100 people. Please call 516-883-6656 to reserve a spot for lunch and with questions.
The Pride in Port committee thanks Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International
Realty, S.F. Falconer’s Florist and The Peter & Jeri Dejana Foundation for generously sponsoring the senior luncheon.
Bus transportation is available to and from the parade and luncheon. The bus will leave the Port Washington Adult Activities Center located at 80 Manorhaven Boulevard at 10:30 a.m. There is ample parking in the Center lot. The bus will make a stop at the bus stop in front of Landmark on Main Street at 10:45 a.m. and arrive at the LIRR Station at 11 a.m., where there will be special seating to view the Pride in Port parade. When the parade ends, the bus will bring seniors to the Schreiber cafeteria for the luncheon. Afterwards, the bus will take the seniors back to the railroad station, the Landmark building, and the Senior Center. In the event of inclement weather, call 516-883-6656 for a revised bus schedule directly to Schreiber High School for the luncheon.

This summer, several athletics facilities within the Port Washington school district have seen major improvements.
One of the projects centered around the track. Long in need of repairs due its heavy use across all three high school athletic seasons—cross country in the fall and track and field in the winter and spring, the track was completely resurfaced and relined.
The second large-scale renovation revamped the tennis courts, filling in the cracks on the playing surface.
“That [the tennis court renovation] was made in anticipation of having the courts
completely ripped up and redone as a capital project next summer, so this was a temporary repair that will help the courts last for the upcoming school year,” said Nick Schratwieser, the Director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics in the district.
As opposed to the track restoration, which had been planned for several years, the tennis courts fix came together more quickly.
“The tennis courts [project] was something that kind of developed over the course of the last two years. As the school district plans for future projects, the district understood that in order to be able to play on the courts in the current state
that they are prior to a complete redo of the courts, they needed to be professionally, temporarily fixed,” said Schratwieser.
Aside from the facility upgrades at the track and tennis courts, new wrestling mats were installed in the Carrie Palmer Weber Middle School fitness room, Rogue Fitness jump boxes were purchased for the Paul D. Schreiber High School weight room and new championship banners are being hung in the Schreiber gym.
“So we’re updating all the old felt banners that were hanging. They’re going to be updated to some really exciting, innovative vinyl banners, so it’s going to give an updated look to the Schreiber gym,” said Shratwieser. “And then we’re going to
be celebrating all of our teams that have won either a Long Island championship or a state championship. [They are] going to have an individual banner that’s going to get hung in the Schreiber gym to really commemorate that accomplishment.”
“I’m really just excited about seeing all the student athletes back out on campus. It feels like the school year just ended but, you know, it’s been a while since we’ve seen our fall teams,” said Schratwieser. “I love the fall season because it’s the start of a new year, and I think the teams that we have on campus, we expect to do really well, building on the success that we’ve had in previous seasons.”
