Spirit of Beacon Day 2023 To Shine On Sunday September 24 - Keeping the Spirit In Weather
/
What would be a Spirit of Beacon Day without a weather debate? Beaconites are a durable bunch. We are usually threatened by something, and we usually overcome through much perseverance. This time, there is rain on the horizon, but it’s possible that A. it may pour and pass before Sunday and B. avoid Beacon if we are protected just right between the mountain and the river, perhaps getting some drizzle.
We haven’t checked with the Historical Society, but we are told by past Spirit committee members that the Spirit of Beacon Day has never gone to a rain date. Said the current Chair of the Spirit of Beacon Day and publisher of this blog and article, Katie Hellmuth: “It has even been asked if it should have a rain date at all, so as to avoid this agonizing debate of to go or not to go to a rain date.”
Spirit of Beacon Day will hold the line and stay at September 24, 2024.
Inside The Decision Making Of Marching On
“We have contracts with vendors, but unfortunately, we do not have a contract with The Weather,” said Katie. “If it rains the following weekend, as well as this weekend, then we will have lost all of this momentum. The Spirit of Beacon Day is not just a day you can snap your fingers at to move to the next weekend. Yes, there are logistics that can be rebooked. But for every 1 person we sent an email to about Parade and Tables, they are connected to 10-50 other people in the community. The community has been pushing themselves so hard, with much excitement, to do this. And the day is here. It has arrived. We as a committee are embracing it. To be Beacon means to go with it and make it work. We didn’t want to risk bad weather the following weekend.”
If you want to see inside of the mind of one of the people making this decision, you could watch the video below.
RAIN DATE: Soon Is Now Moves To Next Saturday, October 1st, 2023
/
As is fitting with Soon Is Now mission to move and inspire people to change their ways in order to help the climate not keep changing, Soon Is Now has moved their event to their rain date of October 1, 2023.
Soon Is Now was created by Eve Morgenstern 3 years ago. It is a climate and eco art, live performance and activism event. Says Nara Garber: “There is no more urgent issue right now than climate catastrophe, the ripple effects of which drive so many other crises. Come to Beacon, NY on October 1st and enjoy an afternoon of poetry, dance, and song amidst the beauty of the Hudson River and Long Dock Park while contemplating all we stand to lose and must fight to preserve. The Resistance Revival Chorus will end the afternoon with a free concert.

Spirit of Beacon 2023 Banner Rises Again - To The Roof!
/
The Spirit of Beacon 2023 banner has risen again onto the roof of Key Food for the second year in a row. A monumentous task last year where Spirit of Beacon committee members Junior Dabashi, Katie Hellmuth and neighbors climbed the roof of Key Food to figure out how to securely and safely hang the banner, after learning that Beacon had banned all banners from hanging across Main Street during this current administration.
Banners promoting event dates have been crucial for fundraising efforts and benefits, as groups use the banners to promote sponsors with logos. Not having a banner takes away that top-tier promise. As is what Beacon businesses do in Beacon, the locally owned franchise Key Food by the Said and Dabashi families, who was a top sponsor of the Spirit of Beacon Day last year and this year, offered their roof to hang the banner.
People also rely on banners to know about big dates and festivals. Not having it has made local organizations have to think of other ways to get the word out. This year, the following local businesses sponsored at the top level for the Spirit of Beacon Day, and are on the prominent placement of the roof:
The Station (newest building and business from Kamel and Lena Jamal)
Program Banner
Also hanging on display is the Spirit of Beacon program banner of the day. This provides the breakdown of what is happening at the 4 main locations for the Spirit of Beacon Day. This is where most of the community who shops at Key Food on a daily basis will see who is performing, like the new group The Dummy Lights, the rapper TonyE who is known by many Beaconites and is returning to Beacon from New York City just for this day, as well as other local bands. Read about the full musical lineup here.
This banner was made possible in part by the next level sponsors, Faust Design Build, Verplanck Auto, and Remark Printing. Signage was designed by Katie James Inc.
The other grocery store in town, Beacon Natural, is also a sponsor of Spirit of Beacon Day, as well as many others.
Free Spirit Of Beacon Bus Shuttle From Train Station Available From Dutchess County For First Time For Spirit Of Beacon Day
/
For the first time in its 46 year history, there will be a free bus shuttling people up from the MTA Train Station to Main Street for the Spirit of Beacon Day. The draw is that there is free parking at the train station, but it’s a lengthy walk. Dutchess County has offered to dedicate one free bus on that day, according to the Spirit of Beacon Committee.
“City Administrator Chris White suggested it during one of our planning meetings early on, and I reached out to Dutchess County at his suggestion. I didn’t think they would say yes, but learned that Amanda was very enthusiastic about it. Amanda made sure to include Forrestal Heights as a designated pickup point, to help people near there as well,” said Katie Hellmuth, Chair of the Spirit of Beacon Day Committee. “Police Chief Sands Frost was on the planning call to figure out the route, and while it was looking like the bus was too wide to make it work at most intersections, we figured out a plan.”
Amanda Sammon, Assistant Director of Public Transit for Dutchess County, along with the support of Michael Grattini, Director of Public Transit, with the encouragement of Beacon’s City Administrator Chris White, spearheaded the move to designate the free shuttle bus for Spirit of Beacon Day attendees who are parking for free in the MTA Train parking lot, as well as those living in the Forrestal Heights community and surrounding area. The drop-off point for attendees will be Main Street and Fishkill Avenue, but up a little further near the Salvation Army parking lot, so as not to crowd that intersection.
This bus will not impact or replace other bus routes that go on Sunday.
How The Free Bus Will Work For Spirit Of Beacon Day
SERVICE SCHEDULE
Service will run from 11am-4:30pm, with a break between 1-2pm, when the parade runs. The Spirit of Beacon Day ends at 4pm, but the Committee wanted to add the half hour to help get people back to the train station parking lot, if that’s where they are going, said Katie.
The route loop will take 20-25 minutes to complete
The Shuttle Bus will begin at the Beacon Train Station at 11am. It will continue driving the route on the map shown above until 1pm, at which point the driver will park at the Beacon Train Station and take a lunch break.
This route should take approximately 20 to 25 minutes to perform the entire loop, so riders will not have to wait too long if they miss it the first time.
At 2pm, the Shuttle Bus will leave the Beacon Train Station and continue performing the same loops until 4:30pm. The Shuttle Bus will only load/unload passengers at the three agreed upon stops:
Beacon MTA Train Station
The intersection of Route 52/Fishkill Avenue and Main Street (with the actual stop at the Salvation Army driveway)
Forrestal Heights
More Free Parking In Beacon Municipal Lots
The DMV parking lot on Main Street is open to the public for parking, as the Beacon Farmer’s Market has graciously agreed to close for the Spirit of Beacon Day. The Henry Street Lot will also be open for free parking, as the Beacon Flea has also graciously agreed to close. According to both of their contracts, this notice to close for the Spirit of Beacon Day to open up parking has been in their contracts over the number of years they have occupied the lots.
The DMV parking lot is in the middle of Main Street before the road closure for vendor tables on Main Street. It is one of the most convenient lots.
The Henry Street parking lot is one block over from Main Street, and can be gotten to by taking side streets.

A Little Beacon Blog is a Media Sponsor of the Spirit of Beacon Day 2023. We are pleased to announce the musical lineup for the day, to help you plan which end of Main Street you want to be at, to hear which music when. We have reprinted in full their 2023 Musical Lineup in full:
Two musical stages are returning for this year’s Spirit of Beacon Day: The Main Stage at Veterans Place (next to Post Office and Towne Crier), and the garden at Cross Street.

Poem: "Double Red Light Broken :: A Morning Of Kid Drop-off On Repeat, Until..."

With this poem, ALBB is opening to poetry submissions from others on any subject matter. Submit via our Contact Us page.
Double Red Light Broken
Second Day of Middle School
A gaggle of kids swarmed on their bikes
around the opposing double line of cars going to and from drop-off.
Eyes on the road!
Both hands on wheel.
Because these kids own the road and swerve into and over a crosswalk or a grasswalk at whim.
Will we ever get the 5 minutes to school?
All these kids peddling everywhere,
calling to each other,
covered in a world of their soft padded headphones.
Drop-off reached.
Pull into the first lane!!
I can’t - there are cones in that lane.
I have to stay in the second lane.
Noooooo!!!
Pull over!! Let us out!!
I can’t - the teachers say pull all the way forward. They say don’t lane cross or pass cars. They say be patient.
Noooooo!!!!!
Let us out!!
Pick us up at 3:40!!
3:40? Side eye.
Yeah. I mean 2:40. Wink and a smile.
Empty. Exhale.
Driving back the 5 minutes to the next child who is still in bed.
The car radio on.
Songs suggest lost love too early in the morning.
The DJ reads the morning headlines.
A reprieve from the music.
Driving away, finally noticing the faces in the oncoming cars, still aching to reach drop-off on time.
Laughing faces.
Straight faces.
Survival faces.
We’re all just piles of mush in our morning cars. In the 8am hour of the day.
Grateful to be here.
But in the same loop.
Seeing the same tree.
The same stop light.
Stopped.
No turn on red.
Inching forward.
Someone turns right.
The next end of summer love song comes on.
We move up a car length.
How did that happen?
Red light remains.
The same house with the same fence that got built last spring.
The same ditch. The same red white and blue painted stairs with the initials. Bless that person of the initials who is probably dead.
Inching forward again.
Why are we moving? It’s a red light. No turn on red.
Headlines on the radio begin and end.
Music starts.
The day won’t begin until email is opened. Don’t check email. You’re driving. Stay out of reality a little longer.
The cars move forward again.
The light is still red. No turn on red.
Honking begins.
Pulling us out of that morning trance that asks: “Where am I? Why am I still here?”
Passing the track now. Am going to run across the track later. After drop-off. The entire city is my track. And I can’t get off it.
The cars move forward.
Why? The light is still red!
Oh. The light is broken.
Cars are turning up ahead.
Out of order.
In the intersection.
Where the child on the bike was hit 3 springs ago.
“I thought she already passed me,” said the driver who hit her. Was she blind?
Red light remains.
Honking picks up.
I’m 5th in line so it’s not my fault.
The light is really broken.
It’s been red the whole time.
We must strike out.
Into the green light of the crossing cars.
Morning trance of self-pity gone.
Survival mode now.
Next kid drop-off is on the bike.
1st grader likes to ride his red bicycle.
And so we we ride.
My tires are flat.
Both of them.
I ride on rims.
Hello crossing guard! Nice to see you!
How’s your day?
Better now that I’ve seen you!
We make it to school no problem.
He parks his red bike.
Takes off his helmet.
Straightens his backpack.
A mom in a pink short terrycloth bathrobe walks the entire length of the drop-off with a cup of coffee. This is not a costume. This is just how she came.
Perfect.
Day 6 Of The Broken Traffic Light At Beacon's Intersection For Middle and High Schools
/
On the morning of the 1st day of school (Tuesday), at around 7:00am, the traffic light at Matteawan and Verplanck broke. This is the intersection for the High School and Middle School drop-off near the track known as Hammond Track, where cars are coming and going to go to work and/or drop off kids at school.
Additionally, kids are on bikes who go through the intersection. Kids also walk. Or coast in groups across the crosswalk. It’s a high-volume intersection for cars, pedestrians and bikers alike.
By Wednesday morning, it wasn’t clear at first for some that the traffic light had stopped working. It was not blinking at that point. Just a solid red for those on Matteawan, and green for those on Verplanck. There is a No Turn On Red sign on Matteawan when turning right onto Verplanck (when the schools are behind you), so the long line of cars on Matteawan who had finished their drop-offs is an expected one. But on the first days of school with this light broken, the line was extra long and not moving. Turning right became more of a risk, as drivers were turning out into cars who had the green.
After some time on Wednesday, later in the morning for Middle School drop-off, a Beacon Police officer had arrived to direct traffic. An officer also assisted in the afternoon for when school let out. Traffic direction from the Beacon Police had been inconsistent but present during drop-off hours, as they may have been called to other emergencies.
So far, the traffic light has been broken from Tuesday - Sunday. In Beacon’s City Code, there is a requirement that a traffic light be at that intersection. It reads: “Traffic control signals shall be installed and operated at the intersection of those streets described in Schedule I below.” The intersection of Matteawan and Verplanck are listed. But the Code does not indicate who is to make what phone call to get the traffic light fixed. When the Dummy Light was hit by a city employee during milling of Main Street before it got paved, the Highway Department restored that light. It is not confirmed if the Highway Department or a different member of the City is responsible for making arrangements to have this traffic light fixed.
The crossing signals at Verplanck and Matteawan are also out, along with the traffic light. They have been out from Monday (9/5/2023) - Sunday (9/10/2023) so far.
After the traffic light was switched to a cautionary blinking red light on the Matteawan side, and a blinking yellow light on the Verplanck side, cars did proceed with less confusion. But some cars still passed through the intersection with uncertainty.
The crosswalk signs are also broken. Pedestrians and bikers have to cross when they see no cars. Being that the track is a destination for the community and students alike, not to mention all of the baseball fields and the turf field behind the high school, people are always crossing this crosswalk on foot, on bike or in car.

Krispy Krunchy Chicken From JB Foods Etc. Opens On Main Street - Halal, Delicious and Affordable - A Perfect Snack Or Meal
/
You’ve been watching…and waiting…to see what would replace the Beacon Craft Beer Shoppe next to Key Food (ALBB first wrote about opening that here). And then you were rewarded…with fried chicken from the same owner. Coming from JB Foods Etc., this chicken is double-breaded and fried in house. You can watch them dip the chicken! Hardly any food is frozen, and the chicken easily pulls apart in your hands (we tried it, it’s good).
The rooster mural inside of JB’s Krispy Krunchy Chicken.
Light tasting but double-breaded, this Louisiana-style fried chicken is halal (according to WebMD: “Halal food must be prepared with minimal suffering to the animal and the pronouncement of God’s name during the slaughter, as the animal is being sacrificed to Him”) and is available in several different varieties, including fried chicken tenders, fried chicken thighs, legs, wings, hot wings, wedges, and chicken sandwiches. Sauces include Original, Home Style Ranch (so good), Honey 🍯 Mustard (can’t wait to try), Sweet and Sour, and Sweet BBQ. Chicken sandwiches are also available.
An easy snack, customers of Key Food have already been seen enjoying a Krispy Box of some assortment of tender wings (white meat), dark meat drumsticks or wings while they wait for their taxis to take them back home after grocery shopping.
Watermelon from Key Food as an off-menu side for Krispy Krunchy Chicken in Beacon, NY
For take-home, the location proves convenient, as a quick watermelon-grab from Key Food can be done as a make-your-own side, or make your own entire salad with blue cheese crumbles from the produce department of Key Food.
Krispy Kruchy Chicken provides sides, including mashed potatoes with gravy, and a jambalaya. Both have a slight kick of spice, but are mild for anyone to enjoy. A perfect takeaway lunch-n-go, or take home for dinner. As for gluten-free, that option is not available yet.
The chicken choices: fried chicken tenders, fried chicken thighs, legs, wings, hot wings, wedges, and chicken sandwiches.
Open 7 days a week, from 11am-7pm. Good for lunch or dinner. For a set of 3 kids, Krunch Boxes for 3 kids can cost $24 (without drinks).
PRO-TIP: As a parent, do order for yourself. You may start picking from the bones of your kids, and they won’t be happy. So indulge in yourself and order your own Krispy Box.
