The designations are the latest in the agency’s efforts for more inclusive designations. On June 22, 2021, the Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to designate the Kimlau War Memorial in Chinatown and the Aakawaxung Munahanung (Island Protected from the Wind) Archaeological Site in Staten Island. The designations mark the first New York City designated landmarks to recognize Chinese American and Native American history.

The Kimlau War Memorial, located in Kimlau Square, is a granite ceremonial gateway arch located at the intersection of Chatham Square, Oliver Street and East Broadway. The memorial was built to honor the memory of Chinese American soldiers who died during service and features inscriptions in Chinese and English. The arch was sponsored by the Lieutenant B.R. Kimlau Chinese Memorial Post 1291 of the American Legion and was named in honor of Second Lieutenant Benjamin Ralph Kimlau, a Chinese American pilot who was killed in action in 1944 while attacking Japanese military installations in the South Pacific during World War II.

The Aakawaxung Munahanung (Island Protected from the Wind) Archaeological Site was previously calendared as the “Conference House Archeological Site” as the site is located within Conference House Park in Tottenville, Staten Island. The site’s true name was identified through further research and consultation with the city’s Federally-recognized tribes. The site has been the location of over 19 archaeological projects that have uncovered evidence of Indigenous life starting from about 8,000 years ago through the Colonial period. A village of Lenape people was likely at the site during the Woodland period (500 BC – 1100 AD), and they relied on the area’s fish, oysters, game and other resources.

Player of the Year: Drew Togno, Lenape Valley

There were few constants in this game over the past two seasons in New Jersey more impressive than Togno’s scoring productivity.

He played in 36 games as a sophomore in 2019 and in this senior season, and the elusive attackman scored at least once in every game. Considerably more than that in most.

Togno, a Hofstra commit, compiled 78 goals and 30 assists this season to help the Patriots finish 16-2. He scored multiple goals in 16 of those contests, including a staggering seven against No. 3 Mountain Lakes in an 18-9 loss in the North, Group 1 semifinals. As a sophomore, he hit for multple goals in 17 of the 18 games as he helped the squad to an 11-7 mark.

Togno closed his career with 186 goals and 83 assists for 269 points, 69th overall among the state’s all-time scorers.

Coach of the Year: John Lade, Kittatinny

The circumstances in which Lade began as head coach in 2019 were less than ideal. The squad was 14-8 the previous season, though came into that first spring for Lade with almost no experienced players. The roster was primarily populated by sophomore and juniors.

Kittatinny finished a more-than-respectable 8-8 and with high ambitions for a 2020 campaign that would never happen.

Lade called to those sophomores from 2019 for their leadership this spring, and was rewarded by both the on-field play and mature direction of such seniors as Tyler Sweatt, Brendan Voss, Cody Cooper, Andrew Curtis, Dylan Festa, Jake Jones and Christian Shotwell.

The Cougars turned in a 14-4 record this season and reached the quarterfinals of North, Group 1.

Team of the Year: Lenape Valley

The Patriots began the season as one of the hottest in New Jersey by winning their first 11 games, and were not that much cooler by the time…
