Hundreds of residents and dignitaries crowded Rath Park in Franklin Square on Sunday to pay tribute to the men and women who were killed in the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001. After 16 years, the wounds may have healed for Kerri Kiefer-Viverito, who lost her brother, FDNY fire fighter Michael Kiefer, but she has shared his story with her 6-year-old son Michael who was on hand Sunday to insert roses into divots in a beam recovered from the World Trade Center.

Flying down the Belmont Stakes parade route in June 2017, the Tip Tap Toe dancers performed for onlookers along Hempstead Turnpike.
living in Elmont Elmont was first settled in the mid-1600s by Dutch settlers. The community remained primarily a loose collection of farms until the late 19th century. In 1898, the community’s borders were finally settled on. The Belmont Racetrack, a centerpiece of the hamlet, was completed in 1905, and ever since it has attracted visitors from near and far. Its most prestigious race is the Belmont Stakes, an internationally acclaimed horseracing competition. Like so many Long Island communities, Elmont underwent a housing boom in the post-World War II era. The Elmont School District includes six elementary schools: Dutch Broadway, Clara H. Carlson, Gotham Avenue, Covert Avenue, Alden Terrace and Stewart Manor. Nearly 2,000 students attend Elmont Memorial High School, part of the Sewanhaka Central High School District. Elmont also has a volunteer fire department and is served by
the Nassau County Police Department’s 5th Precinct. Paul Sapienza leads the Elmont Chamber of Commerce. There are a number of civic associations, such as the Parkhurst Civic Association, that are dedicated to helping residents express their views. Elmont has about 33,200 residents living in about 10,300 housing units. One of the most prominent features of the community is the Elmont Memorial Library. A beautiful building and venue for a variety of events and entertainment series, the library boasts an auditorium and large space for meetings. Thousands visit the library every month for a truly interactive media experience. Notable natives of Elmont are WNBA President Donna Orender, author Nelson DeMille, comedian Andy Kaufman (buried at Beth David Cemetery) and trainer Cara Castronuova, who has appeared on “The Biggest Loser” television show.

living in
Franklin Square
What is now Franklin Square was originally used as grazing land and farmland by settlers near the center of the Hempstead Plains. By the 1950s, farmland was rapidly being replaced by homes. Franklin Square was a major beneficiary of the migration of people from New York City. The Franklin Square School District is comprised of the Polk Street, John Street and Washington Street elementary schools. The nearby Willow Road Elementary School is in Valley Stream District 13. The high schools in the area are Valley Stream North and H. Frank Carey. Franklin Square has a volunteer fire department and is served by the Nassau County Police Department’s 5th Precinct. Its most notable park is Rath Park, which includes a pool, basketball, handball, tennis, football and baseball fields and a playground. Local organizations include the Franklin Square Chamber of Commerce, currently led by
President Bruno M. Caracciolo; a historical society; youth football and soccer programs; and Franklin Square Little League. One of Franklin Square’s oldest and most notable restaurants is Plattdeutsche, which hosts many community events. Franklin Square has about 29,320 residents living in about 9,600 housing units, according to the 2010 census. Notable natives of Franklin Square include the artist and author Barbara Rosenthal, who wrote for the Franklin Square Bulletin in 1959 at age 11; novelist Alice Hoffman; radio personality Rich Davis; country singer Lisa Matassa; “Jersey Shore” reality television show star Jenni “JWoww” Farley; music journalist and award-winning author Jeff Tamarkin; radio and television host Sean Hannity; NASA astronaut Michael Massimino; professional football player Vinny Testaverde and Major League Baseball player Al Weis.
