This is a reminder for all residents to be mindful of the City of Beacon Noise Ordinance (Noise-eCode360) which is in effect daily from 9pm through 7am.

All residents at BHA are being asked to use common sense and adhere to this ordinance. If you are experiencing a situation where a neighbor is making loud or excessive noises during the curfew hours you have the right to contact the Beacon Police and register a complaint. It is strongly encouraged to contact the Police as the incident is happening, calling police after the fact is not a helpful solution.

BHA encourages all residents to exercise respect in creating a safe a peaceful environment. This includes adhering to the Family Obligations issued to each resident at the time they signed their lease.

Thank you,

BHA Management

When, in 1702, British, Dutch, and Austrian troops beat the French at the Battle of Blenheim during the War of the Spanish Succession, English poet, essayist, and playwright Joseph Addison was asked to commemorate the occasion with a poem. The finished work was a wild success, and eventually led Addison to a career in politics. He wrote essays and plays throughout his later life, even as he moved through various government positions. He retired just a year before his death in 1719, but his prose lives on in lines like this one, cementing his position as one of the most influential writers of his time. 

Please be informed the Community Room at Hamilton Fish Plaza will be closed from the hours of 4:00pm through 8:00am Monday through Friday as well as the weekends and Holidays.

This action is being taken as a security measure and will remain in effect until further notice.

Thank you

BHA Management

October 15 to December 7, also known as Open Enrollment season, is when
all people with Medicare can change their Medicare health plans and prescription
drug coverage for the following year to better meet their needs. The Office for
the Aging offers free phone and in-person counseling to people with questions
about their Medicare plans. This counseling, presented as part of HIICAP (Health
Insurance Information, Counseling and Assistance Program), is unique in that it’s
non-sales-oriented. HIICAP provides unbiased information.

You can make an appointment by contacting us during business hours at
845-486-2555, or by emailing ofa@dutchessny.gov. With over 60,000 seniors in
Dutchess County, counseling appointments fill up quickly. If we are unable to
book an appointment for you, we can put you in touch with other local Medicare
counseling alternatives who may have space.

It’s all too easy to get swallowed up by the hustle and bustle of our daily responsibilities, whether it’s a hectic work week or a busy social schedule. But with these words, comedy writer Jane Wagner reminds us of the importance of taking a break and takin care of ourselves. Wagner, a veteran screenwriter who penned this line for her wife and longtime collaborator, comedian Lily Tomlin, points out an ironic truth: Often the quickest way to feel better is pausing to take a deep breath, and simply slowing down. 

Good morning, Beacon:

Hi Beacon. This is Mayor Lee Kyriacou, reaching out to announce Spirit of Beacon Day, as well as to encourage you to fill out a recreation survey.

I’m delighted to welcome back the Spirit of Beacon Day, which will be held on Main Street this Sunday, September 25th. This longtime community event was not held in person the past two years due to the pandemic, so we’re hopeful everyone will come out for this year’s celebration. The parade on Main Street kicks off at 1 p.m. after which the street festival will continue until 4 p.m. For more information and for opportunities to get involved as a volunteer, please visit www.spiritofbeacon.org.

Also, the City is conducting a public survey of our recreational programs, facilities and community services. The link to the survey can be found on the City’s website at www.beaconny.gov and will be open until mid to late-October. Please take a few minutes to let us know what you think of our parks and recreational programs; it will help us plan for the future.

Thanks, and I hope you all have a great week.
