n 1935, at the height of the Great Depression, a group of New York City retired policemen decided to create an international exposition to lift the city and the country out of depression. Not long after, these men formed the New York World’s Fair Corporation,I whose office was placed on one of the higher floors in the Empire State Building. They elected former chief of police Grover Whalen as the president of their committee. The committee included many enthusiastic business leaders. Over the next three years, the committee planned, built, and orga- nized the fair and its exhibits, with countries around the world taking part in creating the largest international event since World War I. Working closely with the Fair’s committee was Robert Moses, New York City Parks Commissioner, who saw great value to the City in having the World’s Fair Corporation (at its expense), remove a vast ash dump in Queens that was to be the site for the exhibition. This event turned the area into a city park after the exposition closed.

Fighting with Fist and Voice
Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, is the person responsible for giving the teddy bear its name. In 1902, President Roosevelt was on a hunting trip in Mississippi. As reported in the Washington Post, the presidential hunting party hunted and lassoed a lean, black bear, then tied it to a tree. The president was summoned, but when he arrived on the scene he refused to shoot the tied and exhausted bear, considering it to be unsportsmanlike. The following day, Clifford Barryman, Washington Post editorial cartoonist, immortalized the incident as part of a front-page cartoon montage. Barryman pictured Roosevelt, his gun before him and his back to the animal, gesturing his refusal to take the trophy shot. Written across the lower part of the cartoon were the words “Drawing the Line in Mississippi,” which coupled the hunting incident to a then, political dispute. The cartoon drew immediate attention. In Brooklyn, upon reading the article, shopkeeper Morris Michtom, displayed two toy bears in the window of his statio- nery and novelty store. His wife Rose, had made the bears from plush, stuffed excelsior and finished them with black shoe button eyes. Michtom recognized the immediate popularity of the new toy, requested, and received, permission from Roosevelt himself to call them “Teddy’s Bears”.

Yellow baby daisies crawled amongst the statues whose silhouettes were crownedB by the early September shadows with a gilded aura. In the main house, dishes moved to and from the butler’s pantry into the dining room. French doors were open wide allowing the fresh breath of the cedar pinewood’s air, brush into the grand home. Baskets of popovers and yeast breads complimented by minted hams and sage stuffed chickens graced the dining table. Champagne was uncorked, and a breakfast punch with estate orchard peaches and pears swam amongst fragrant herbs in rich cut glass bowls. The promise of fall still tugging at summer’s sleeve carried a romantic feeling of elation and contentment. The estate had a way of wrapping itself around you with a stirring feeling of enchantment as those days of September blended into autumn’s arms. TP
Popovers 1 cup flour ¼ tsp salt 2 eggs, well beaten 1 cup milk 1 T melted shortening
Preheat oven to 425º. Combine eggs, milk, and shortening well. Mix flour and salt and gradually add to liquid. Beat with a mixer until batter is smooth. Grease muffin tins very well.

Minted Ham Rinse ham well. Rub it well with brown sugar, cloves, and nutmeg. Place plenty of sprigs of fresh mint on the bottom of a roasting pan with a little water. Place ham on top. Bake at 325º for about 3 hours, keeping a little liquid on the bottom, and baste several times when cooking. Remove and cover generously with more fresh mint sprigs, cover well with aluminum foil for about ½ hour. Serve, decorated with fresh mint sprigs and orange slices.

24 TUXEDO PARK LIFESTYLE [email protected] 845-351-5140 AUGUST / SEPTEMBER 2018 25 Who was Frederick Selous? Frederick Courteney Selous (1851-1917) was a British explorer, hunter, and conservationist, most famous for his adventures in Southeast Africa. Over the course of 18 years, Selous traveled between the Transvaal of South Africa and the Congo River basin, collecting natural history specimens from around the region. It is because of his extensive research and specimen collecting that we know much about the region, specifically about the country now known as Tanzania. It is fitting that Africa’s largest game reserve is named in his honor. As a young boy, Selous loved to hear stories of explorers and their adventures. He enjoyed collecting various bird eggs and butterflies and studying natural history. While the rest of his family was successful in business, Selous was determined from an early age to seek his own adventures in Africa. as they gather to leave the river at dusk to mow the savannah—a Selous was a close friend of fellow hunter and conser- nightly ritual.” vationist, American president Theodore Roosevelt.

38 TUXEDO PARK LIFESTYLE [email protected] 845-351-5140 AUGUST / SEPTEMBER 2018 39 The Greatest Gifts Come From the Heart
By Steven Piriano, MD
ome of the more vivid memories from my childhood are those of Christmas mornings. It was always so exciting coming down the steps, eagerly anticipating the site of beautifully wrapped gifts sitting under Sthe tree. I still experience the same feelings today. When I come downstairs on Christmas morning with my wife and two boys, I am nothing short of thrilled to see the expressions on their faces when they unwrap their gifts. Gift giving is truly a wonderful act. Yet, some of the most wonderful gifts don’t come in colorful and neatly wrapped boxes. The greatest gifts come from the heart. I realize that this statement sounds cliché, but I believe it’s true. Some of the best gifts are the time, attention and experience of another person—with kindness forming the foundation of these offerings. I have been a physician since 2002, and I can resolutely state that one of the greatest facets of the practice of Emergency Medicine is the ability to give of myself to those I care for. Oftentimes the patients I treat are scared or in pain, and the simple act of sitting at their bedside and engaging them with my eyes as I listen to them speak is a gift. I am fortunate enough to be able to offer this gift many times during my OUTDOOR MARKET! workdays. Not only am I a bearer of gifts, I have always been a recip- ient as well. I can remember teachers who took their time to SUNDAYS explain a concept, friends and family that came to visit me in the hospital, people who gave us food when we had none, June - November my dad teaching me how to swim, my wife teaching me to be 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. more selfless, friends that have made me laugh and people that have inspired me to become better. These are only a small Main St. Train Station number of the gifts I have received over the years. The key point to realize about gifts is that we are all endowed with our own.

We founded CLC with the idea that great landscapes begin with great design ideas. We’ve been a family-owned business and leader in design/build landscaping since 1973. My family and I design and implement our own work to create outdoor spaces and pools unique to you and your family. Did you know that you need to start planning now if you want to be swimming by next summer? The planning phase alone takes several months, so call today!
