LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION honoring K.T. Mills upon the occasion of her
designation as recipient of the Communications Award by the Town of
Brookhaven Office of Women's Services on March 26, 2009

WHEREAS, Individuals who give of their time and energies and serve the
best interests of their communities are an asset beyond remuneration and
cannot be sufficiently extolled; and
WHEREAS, K.T. Mills has given not only of her time and energies but
also of her competence, intelligence and leadership and consequently has
been designated for special honor; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to honor K.T. Mills
upon the occasion of her designation as recipient of the Communications
Award by the Town of Brookhaven Office of Women's Services in cele-
bration of National Women's History Month at its 23rd Annual Women's
Recognition Night, held on Thursday, March 26, 2009, at Brookhaven Town
Hall Auditorium, Farmingville, New York; and
WHEREAS, K.T. Mills is being honored for her professional achievements
as well as for the generosity and enthusiasm with which she graces the
Town of Brookhaven; and
WHEREAS, K.T. Mills is an "on-air" personality for WALK Radio and is
the best of "Afternoon Drive"; and
WHEREAS, A graduate of Ithaca College, K.T. Mills also attended the
London Center for the Performing Arts; she began her career at WRTN-FM
in New Rochelle, and in 1991, joined the staff of WALK Radio; and
WHEREAS, WALK has consistently ranked as Long Island's top rated radio
station, and K.T. Mills has been an integral part of its success; wheth-
er she is announcing a little girl's birthday, delivering heart-wrench-
ing news as she did on September 11th, or letting you know if your kids
are being dismissed from school early because of the snow, she has an
incomparable way of touching her listeners; and
WHEREAS, Whenever she is hosting a local community event, it is appar-
ent how many lives she has touched and the difference she has made to
her many listeners; and
WHEREAS, K.T. Mills is described as a consummate professional who
offers her time and talents to a number of causes including the American
Heart Association, the United Way, the Carol Baldwin Breast Cancer
Research Fund, and the Sunrise Fund, to name a few; and
WHEREAS, Perhaps her most important contribution has been to the many
victims who fall prey to stalkers; as a victim herself, K.T. Mills
refused to stay one, and spearheaded the creation of legislation that
puts teeth into law to protect those being stalked; as a result, the
Mills Bill was passed in 2003; and
WHEREAS, Throughout the entire period of her community service, a
period of constructive involvement, K.T. Mills has stood constant in
dignity, good grace and humor; and
WHEREAS, Rare indeed is the impressive dedication shown by an individ-
ual for the benefit of others which K.T. Mills has displayed throughout
her life; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor K.T. Mills upon the occasion of her designation as recipient of
the Communications Award by the Town of Brookhaven Office of Women's
Services on March 26, 2009; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to K.T. Mills, Yaphank, New York.
