Yesterday, Kings Park came together to honor one of its beloved sons, FDNY Firefighter and 9/11 First Responder Christopher Joseph Revere, with the dedication of a street that will forever bear his name.

Thank you to everyone who joined the Revere family, Chris’ fellow firefighters, friends, neighbors, teammates and community members for such a meaningful tribute. The incredible turnout was a powerful reflection of the love and respect Chris earned throughout a life defined by family, friendship, courage, service and sacrifice.

We extend a very special thank you to the FDNY Foundation Ceremonial Unit, whose Color Guard, attention to detail and extraordinary partnership helped make today’s ceremony a fitting and unforgettable tribute. Their team truly went above and beyond to help our Town honor one of New York’s Bravest.

We are also deeply grateful to the members of FDNY Engine 289 – the Corona Tigers, FDNY Ladder 166, Engine 318, Coney Island, the Kings Park Fire Department, Deacon John Trodden, fellow elected officials and everyone who helped make this dedication possible.

From this day forward, everyone who passes FDNY Firefighter Christopher Joseph Revere’s street sign will be reminded of the man behind the name—a firefighter who answered the call, a 9/11 First Responder who served when our nation needed him most, and a beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, friend and neighbor whose legacy will forever remain part of Kings Park.

May his name always be spoken. May his service always be remembered.

Congratulations to the W.S. Commerdinger Jr. County Park Preservation Society on an incredible achievement and a truly memorable unveiling ceremony yesterday!

It was an honor to join Society President Ed Quaranta, Chairman Paul Albert, Vice President Marie Gruick, local historians and members of the Nesconset community as they unveiled the very prestigious William G. Pomeroy Foundation historical marker honoring Civil War Captain George W. McCormick.

Captain McCormick served in the Seventh Michigan Cavalry, fought at the Battle of Gettysburg and later lived on this historic property. Thanks to the Preservation Society’s dedication, research and tireless advocacy, his remarkable story will now be preserved for generations to come.

The Society has done an extraordinary job protecting and advocating for this beautiful 100-acre property, its historic homestead, legendary trails, woodlands and waterways. Congratulations to everyone who helped make this important recognition possible and brought our local history to life through such a meaningful ceremony.

A special shoutout goes to Marie Gruick… she has been a fierce advocate for this beautiful property and has spent countless hours/days/months working towards the installation of this amazing historic marker.

There is nothing better than enjoying a midsummer evening surrounded by good friends, family and familiar faces—especially at a spectacular new small business right here in our community.

We recently spent a wonderful night at Galiano Wine Bar & Restaurant on Lake Avenue in St. James, where we ran into local residents, friends from the Chamber and many longtime friends all enjoying an unforgettable dining experience. From the beautifully prepared food and thoughtfully selected wine pairings to the warm, welcoming atmosphere, every detail reflects the passion behind this incredible new destination.

Galiano is also a true local success story—built by residents who had a dream and brought it to life through hard work, creativity and a deep commitment to hospitality. As owner Vinny Galiano so perfectly explains, exceptional ingredients and wines are only part of the experience. It is the team’s attention to detail, pride in their craft and genuine hospitality that truly brings Galiano to life each day.

Supporting our local businesses means supporting our neighbors, creating local jobs and helping our downtowns continue to thrive. If you have not yet experienced Galiano, run—do not walk!

They are now open for lunch Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 3:30 PM, featuring an evolving three-course prix fixe menu for $55 per guest, curated by Executive Chef Roger Martinez. Guests may also order à la carte from the regular menu.

Congratulations to Vinny and the entire Galiano team. We are proud to welcome you to Lake Avenue and we just know you have many years of continued success ahead!
