In the middle of Nassau County lies a hamlet, rich with diversity, parks, organizations and family-owned businesses. It thrives with the help of community leaders and key members who ensure that children, veterans and families’ needs and rights are met. According to the census, 38,000 people — 14 percent Hispanic or Latino, 12 percent Asian, 5 percent African-American, and 69 percent white — call the small, yet humble hamlet home: East Meadow. Schools and library The East Meadow community has one public school district, comprised of two high schools, two middle schools and five elementary schools, which also take in students from Salisbury. The schools are East Meadow and W.T. Clarke high schools, Woodland and W.T. Clarke middle schools, and Barnum Woods, Bowling Green, McVey, Meadowbrook and Parkway elementary schools. The elementary level sees students from kindergarten — the first full-kindergarten year started in 2015 — through fifth grade, and the middle schools take in sixth through eighth grade. The district’s superintendent is in his third school year and Dr. Kenneth Card Jr. is also a Navy veteran and 15-year administrator prior to his tenure at East Meadow. The district appointed Card after a year-long search for a new leader. The East Meadow PTA Council is a coalition of school PTAs that contributes to district-wide initiatives and hosts workshops through its ACCESS Committee. East Meadow is also home to three parochial schools and eight nursContinued on next page

ery schools. The East Meadow Public Library is renowned for its wide array of programs, services and vast book collection. After the community approved a historic, first-time school and library joint bond in March 2017, the library’s approved $14.6 million is slated for infrastructure upgrades, a new all-purpose room/theater, and an outdoor reading garden to accommodate patrons. Each year, it hosts EMcon — perhaps its largest event — an anime festival that draws thousands from across Long Island. The library’s current director is Carol Probeyahn. The East Meadow Fire Department headquarters is on East Meadow Avenue, and the department has roughly 260 volunteers. It is led by four commissioners, and has five fire stations, four engine companies, two ladder companies, one rescue company, a ladies’ auxiliary unit, a paramedic fly car program and a safety officers program. Its current chief is Philip Fertitta. Parks and recreation Parks are a big part of the East Meadow community, and none is more recognizable than Eisenhower Park. At 930 acres, it is larger than New York City’s
Central Park, and has dozens of athletic fields, 16 lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, three 18-hole golf courses, picnic areas and fitness trails. Eisenhower Park is also the home of the Nassau County Aquatic Center, which has a 50-meter pool. Built in 1998, the swimming facility hosted the Goodwill Games, and now hosts other major swimming competitions. It is also open to the public. The Twin Rinks Ice Center opened to the public in the summer of 2014, adjacent to the Aquatic Center. It’s an 80,000-square-foot indoor facility with two indoor ice rinks, an outdoor rink and a sports recreational center. Other parks in East Meadow include the Town of Hempstead-operated Edward J. Speno Memorial Park on East Meadow Avenue, named after Edward Speno, who was the first president of the East Meadow Chamber of Commerce in 1954. Veterans Memorial Park on Prospect Avenue, which the Town of Hempstead also runs, is the home of a public outdoor swimming pool. Adjacent to the pool, on East Meadow Avenue, sits East Meadow Town Square, designed and built by the East Meadow Chamber of Commerce. Veterans Park is home to an 1,800-pound marble statue, a steel beam from the World Trade Center and a com-
memorative footstone listing the names of East Meadow residents who died on Sept. 11, 2001. The memorial was installed by the East Meadow Kiwanis Club. Community Groups The community boasts active and diverse community organizations, including the Council of East Meadow Community Organizations, the Chamber of Commerce, the Kiwanis Club of East Meadow, the Pope Pius XII Knights of Columbus Council 4422, Knights of Pythias East Meadow Lodge 774 Alliance, and the Community Association of Stewart Avenue. The groups organize the community’s largest annual events, including the Memorial Day parade, Community Pride Day, Culinary Delights and Christmas tree and menorah lightings in the winter. Veterans groups include American Legion Post 1082, Jewish War Veterans Post 709, and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2736. Churches, synagogues and mosques of all different faiths can be found throughout East Meadow, and seniors find a home at the Salisbury/East Meadow Senior Center.

Culinary Delights is a feast for a cause
East Meadow Chamber of Commerce at last year’s Culinary Delights at The Carltun.
By Brian Stieglitz
T
he biggest fundraiser of the year for the East Meadow Chamber of Commerce will turn The Carltun at Eisenhower Park into a showcase of the community’s restaurants and food vendors, while contributing to several local causes. However, Board Chairman Frank Camarano said, the event isn’t about the chamber. “It’s about the community helping us to give back and help others,” he said. “Lyndsey and Rosemary put so much effort into this event each year.” Rosemary Basmajian and Lyndsey Gallagher are co-chairing the event, to be held this year on Sept. 23 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at The Carltun. In its 17th year, the chamber is organizing the event with one goal in mind: to raise money for local charitable organizations. Each year, Gallagher said, 25 to 30 local restaurants — and others from across Long Island — offer portions of their best dishes and desserts for attendees to taste. The chamber donates half of all proceeds to the following beneficiaries: America’s VetDogs, Kiwanis of East Meadow Kamp Kiwanis, Nassau/Suffolk Autism Society and the Nassau University Medical Center Pediatric Department. America’s VetDogs was founded by the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind in 2003 to help those who have served our country honorably live with dignity. Service dogs are specifically trained to help mitigate disabilities for veterans with blindness, spinal cord injuries, hearing impairments, peripheral & central balance disorders, limb loss, traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, the organization is faced with increased demands from veterans of all eras, active military personnel, first responders & others wounded in the line of duty. Community service is the primary goal of the Kiwanis Club of East Meadow, which sends 36 children each year to the Kamp Kiwanis sleep away camp. The Nassau/Suffolk Autism Society is

part of the oldest autism organization that is celebrating its 51st Anniversary. And the primary-care pediatricians at Nassau University Medical Center provide a range of services for children, including comprehensive outpatient services, well-baby and well-child checkups, childhood vaccines, sick child visits, screenings for developmental problems and education on adolescent health issues.

Library
Brian Stieglitz/Herald
Manhattan-based drag queen Bella Noche read several books at Drag Queen Story Hour at the East Meadow Public Library in January.
T
he East Meadow Public Library does more than just hold books. Its programs and special events for all ages, art exhibits, reference service, magazines, college catalogs, civil-service tests, eBooks, iPads and more draw thousands of participants from across Nassau County. Located in the heart of East Meadow on East Meadow Avenue and Front Street, its accessibility allows passersby to stop in for a book or program. Throughout its time in the community, the library has been able to meet its patrons’ needs. To enhance its services, the library is undergoing major renovations this year — for the first time since the early 1980s — after the community passed a $14.6 million bond in March 2017. Additions will include a new community reading area and an all-purpose room that will host an array of events such as concerts and guest author readings. The Library Board meets the first Wednesday of each month at 8 p.m. Meetings are open to the public. To find out more about the library or its scheduled programming, visit the library’s website at www.eastmeadow.info.

MEDICAL
Services South Nassau Communities Hospital, the Long Island flagship of the Mount Sinai Medical System, is committed to delivering standard-setting, patient-centered health care. It is one of the region’s largest hospitals, with 455 beds, more than 900 physicians and 3,000 employees. The hospital is an acute-care, not-forprofit teaching hospital that provides stateof-the-art care in cardiac, cancer, orthopedic, bariatric, pain management, mental health and emergency services. It is a designated Stroke Center, boasts Long Island’s first and only Gamma Knife® and Novalis Tx™ radiosurgery technologies for superior cancer care, expert orthopedic services, and emergency and elective angioplasty. South Nassau has been designated as an Accredited Bariatric Surgery Center by MBSAQIP and is also a recipient of the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s “Get With The Guidelines®”-Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award with Target: StrokeSM Honor Roll Elite. South Nassau’s beautiful North Addition houses two 36-bed medical surgical units, a 36-bed inpatient behavioral health unit and comprehensive maternity services center with 26 private postpartum rooms, spacious labor and delivery rooms and a
neonatal intensive care unit. South Nassau’s Emergency Services department is one of the largest and most advanced on Nassau County’s South Shore. Designated a regional stroke center
South Nassau Communities Hospital 1 Healthy Way Oceanside Emergency: 911 Non-emergency line: (516) 632-3000 www.southnassau.org and Level II Trauma Center by the American College of Surgeons, the department houses 35 treatment rooms and specialty care, including a high-speed CT-scan and x-ray facility, pediatric emergency room and psychiatric emergency room.

erating rooms, add more beds in the criticalcare wing, and will also help prepare the hospital in case of another hurricane like Sandy.

Numbers to know Town of Hempstead The Town of Hempstead, founded in 1644, is the largest township in the United States, encompassing 142 square miles, with a population of roughly 760,000 people. Within the town, there are 34 unincorporated areas and 22 incorporated villages, more than 65 parks and marinas, and 2,500 miles of roads. Hempstead is overseen by a town supervisor — currently Democrat Laura Gillen — and a six-member Town Council. The six council members are elected from one of six districts. The supervisor has a two-year term, and the council members have four-year terms of office.

As the town’s chief financial officer, the supervisor is responsible for the creation and the implementation of a town budget. Council members are responsible for adopting the annual budget, amending the town code and the building zone ordinances, adopting all traffic regulations, and hearing applications for changes of zone and special exceptions to zoning codes.
