Today’s Daily Inspirational Quote ~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau

| by Editor BHA

Patience may be a virtue, but it’s a difficult one to cultivate — especially in a world that is moving ever-faster. Yet with this quote, Enlightenment-era philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau reminds us that patience also comes with great rewards. Such rewards are never instant, but can increase over time, like an investment that must be allowed to mature. Research suggests that people who cultivate patience experience better mental and even physical health, and have happier relationships with others over the course of their lives.

A MESSAGE FROM NY GOV. KATHY HOCHUL

January 11, 2023 | by Editor BHA

I just finished delivering my State of the State address, and I’m proud to say that the State of our State today is strong — but we still have work to do.

New York has shown the world that when we get knocked down, we always get back up. We’ve made historic investments to strengthen and upgrade our infrastructure, build a world-class public transit system, create a strong public education system, confront climate change, fortify our health care system, help our small businesses, and create jobs across the state.

And now it is upon this sturdy foundation that we will continue to build a fairer, more equitable future for New Yorkers.

In my State of the State speech today, I outlined key policies that will make New York more affordable, more livable, and safer — so that we can make the New York Dream a reality for individuals and families across the state now, and for generations to come.

We’re working to make New York more affordable. From increasing the minimum wage annually at the rate of inflation, to transforming our child care system, to providing at least $165 million in relief to more than 800,000 utility customers, we’re making it easier for New York families to afford to live here.

We’re working to make New York more livable. From implementing a first-ever statewide strategy to address New York’s housing crisis and build 800,000 new homes, to providing fully-paid parental leave to State employees, to building on our nation-leading efforts to combat climate change with a statewide Cap-and-Invest program, we’re working to make sure all New Yorkers can grow and thrive.

We’re working to make New York safer. From investing in proven gun violence prevention programs, to supporting those who need access to critical mental health resources, we’re addressing the root causes of crime and helping protect our residents.

These initiatives and policies — these new investments and approaches — are just the tip of the iceberg.

The task ahead of us is daunting and the stakes could not be higher, but I am fortunate to live in the home once occupied by one our State’s greatest leaders and thinkers — Eleanor Roosevelt.

Eleanor Roosevelt, once said, “You who are going to build a new world must go forward with courage.”

We will build a new world. And we will be courageous. We will do the hard, necessary things to lift up and support New Yorkers, and clear a path for them to realize the New York Dream.

That is my promise to the people of New York.

Ever upward,

Gov. Kathy Hochul

The U.S. Surgeon General has declared loneliness a “global epidemic”

January 10, 2023 | by Editor BHA

With Dutchess County’s older adult population at over 60,000, the number of older adults here trying to overcome social isolation and loneliness is only growing. The U.S. Surgeon General has declared loneliness a “global epidemic” – but you can help address the issue.

The Dutchess County Office for the Aging (OFA) is reaching out to older adults who are isolated and would like some type of social connection, somebody to talk to for 20-30 minutes a week. Could you be that somebody?

OFA’s Friendly Calls program is looking for volunteer callers to reach out to our older adults. It’s a simple program at its core: neighbors talking to neighbors in a short, structured conversation. OFA screens both the volunteer callers as well as the people being called. You’d be talking to somebody who lives alone, is isolated, and has expressed an interest in staying socially connected.

Volunteers would start out calling from OFA headquarters in Poughkeepsie, but we envision the program becoming something a volunteer can do from home if that’s what they prefer.

Adult volunteers of all ages are welcome. If you’re interested in taking part as a volunteer caller, email bjones@dutchessny.gov or call 845-486-2555.
