Suffolk Executive Steve Levy Unveils Womens Hall Of Fame

Women’s Wall of Fame graces county building

County Executive Steve Levy joins many of the inductees at the ceremony Monday in Hauppauge.

They clean the homes of cancer patients for free. They ensure the hungry have food. They work to end drunk driving. They care for the mentally ill and victims of abuse when no one else will.

They are the altruistic and accomplished women of Suffolk, and now they have a wall of honor.

Suffolk Executive Steve Levy unveiled the county women’s wall of honor in the lobby of the H. Lee Dennison Building Monday evening. The southwest corner of the first-floor plaza now contains the 29 pictures of the inductees into the Women’s Hall of Fame since its inception in 1994.

“I think it’s very nice [the inductees] are being honored for the work they do and to acknowledge that someone is paying attention,” said Dena Cohen, president of the Long Island Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, who was named to the Hall of Fame in 2007. “I’m honored to be honored.”

The wall was inspired by similar monuments Levy said he observed in Legislature chambers in Albany during his stint as state assemblyman. After being elected county executive in 2003, he increased the number of honorees per year from the one-to-two previously named, Levy said, as there are so many deserving women recognizing them would “take forever” at that rate.

“We still aren’t even touching the surface of the number of quality women who have contributed back to their county,” the executive said.

“I’m very honored to be up there on the wall with all these great women,” said Teresa Ward, a 2009 inductee. Ward is owner of the Rocky Point-based Teresa’s Family Cleaning. She began the New York Chapter of Cleaning for a Reason, in which her company cleans the homes of breast-cancer patients free of charge.

Sr. Pat Griffith, a Catholic Sister of Mercy, founded Mercy Haven 25 years ago when public mental hospitals began closing, leaving their wards with no place to go. The organization now spans 40 properties across the Island and houses victims of mental illness and itinerant families with children.

Levy said when he met Sr. Pat years ago he “learned that God really does have people placed on earth to work on his behalf.”

Frances Watkins of Kings Park, a 2009 inductee, founded and directed the county’s Emergency Food Pantry Network in 1970. The pantries were located at an inter-denominational network of churches and offered sustenance to the working poor. These are not people on welfare, Watkins said, but “people who work every day of the week and by the end of the month can’t afford food” because other needs like shelter and utility costs intervened.

By the time she retired in 1991, the network had 827 emergency food pantries across Suffolk. Watkins has also served as foster mother to 11 developmentally disabled children.

Marion McNulty of Miller Place entered the Hall of Fame in 2006. McNulty was the first woman elected to countywide judicial office in Suffolk’s 300-year history — she is the judge overseeing matrimonial matters for county Family Court — and is the founder of Suffolk’s Women’s Bar Association.

The wall “is a wonderful testament to the women who have given so much to the county over the years,” said McNulty.

Other honorees include Julie Woodley (2009) of Setauket, who founded Restoring the Heart Ministries to support victims of abuse and holds fundraising dinners for families of deceased 9/11 victims and U.S. military members; former and first female Stony Brook University President Shirley Strum Kenny (1999); Brooke Ellison (2009) of Stony Brook, author, public speaker and stem-cell research advocate; Middle Country Public Library Director Sandy Feinberg (2008) of Stony Brook, who led the creation of regional resources like the Community Resource Database of Long Island, Mid-Suffolk Regional Literacy Program and Miller Business Resource Center; and Karen Acompora of Fort Salonga, who founded the Louis J. Acompora Foundation to provide free defibrillators to schools following the tragic death of her son.

East Meets West: ARCSI Board Members Sold to Highest Bidder

Kevin and Teresa Ward had the pleasure of being auctioned off at the last ISSA / ARCSI Convention in Chicago 2009. April Lane from April Lane Cleaners in Seattle and Stacie McMillan, Clean and Simple, from Lynwood , Washington were the highest bidders and plunked down their cold hard cash with the winning bid to have them come consult with at their residential cleaning companies onsite in Washington.

The Wards started their journey in Ellensbugh Washington where they met up with fellow ARCSI members and good friends Daron and Cressin Tandberg from White Glove Cleaning from Yakima, Washington. Besides running a busy cleaning service and being the Vice President of ARCSI, Daron is also a square dance caller. They got to see him in (pictured left to right: Liz Trotter, April Lane, Teresa Ward, and

Stacie McMillan)

action and also admired Cressin’s cute square dance outfit.

Then it was off to Seattle to meet up with April Lane to deal with any hot button issues. Liz Trotter from American Maid, also an ARCSI Board member (Olympia, WA) sat in on some of the sessions. Teresa was impressed with how organized April is and what a tight ship she runs.

Then it was on to meet up with Stacie McMillan another great operation. “It is great to see the professionalism in her company”, Hopefully we brought some good content and sparked some new thought processes to help them grow and overcome any issues they may be having”, Teresa said.

Teresa and Kevin Ward graciously donated themselves to be sold off in the annual ARCSI Ambassador Fundraiser. The Wards own an extremely successful home cleaning company in Long Island New York, so their expertise and visit was a hot commodity at the auction. They made the trip at their own expense. Now there are two industry role models for sure!

Below is a video made of Red Skelton…Famous Actor, Comedian, artist, and I believe somewhat of a Prophet based on this video that was made in 1969. I recommend you take the time to watch it in it’s entirety. It will make you step back and think just a bit on the progress of this country.

Can you see…

through your windows?

When was the last time time you had your windows cleaned?

If you’re like most people, the answer to this question is “never!” Window cleaning seems like a chore, and many people mistakenly think it will cost too much to hire someone else to do it.

The truth is, windows look best if they are cleaned regularly (at least twice a year) on the inside and outside and the cost is actually very affordable. The results really are amazing – you will be surprised by how much nicer your house looks both inside and out!

Give the gift of clean

Webmaster — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 19:32:22 +0000

For all of you moms, wives, kids, and significant others looking to give a great gift, why not give the gift of quality family time? Yes, I’m suggesting house cleaning as a gift, and no – I’m not crazy! When you have Teresa’s Famiy Cleaning, clean your house, it means you – and the loved ones in your life – don’t have to! It also means that you all have more time to spend together doing the things your family loves to do. The recipient of this great gift will appreciate the opportunity to engage in their favorite past time along with the people they love the most. But don’t take my word for it – just check out the email we received from one of our customers that “gifted” herself:

“What a gift I gave myself last week…!!! 3 hours of cleaning!!!! I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful job your staff did in cleaning my house. It was so nice to enjoy my week off from work..doing things I enjoy vs. worrying about getting the house clean…Thank you for taking the guilt away….and making my vacation a true vacation! Kim.
P.S. I think I’m going to “gift myself” every month!!

Why not call us today and enjoy more time with your family this weekend and during the weekends to come?
