Designer Show House set to open this week
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – It's go time for a year-long project to transform a historic treasure in our area. Junior League Binghamton is set to launch its Designer Show House event at the Kilmer Mansion. Several local interior designers and contractors have refurbished the three-story mansion, with new paint, flooring, and light fixtures. Then, they've moved in furnishings, artwork, and home decor, all of which are for sale to the public. The project will not only benefit the Kilmer but also raise money for a new Food Recovery and Prepared Meal Truck, which will be gifted to CHOW. Junior League President Alisha Swietzer says people will be blown away by the talent on display. 'It's enlightening, I don't think, I didn't know, I think a lot of people will realize how much local talent we have in the aspect of designers, decorators, antique shops, artists, and it's really neat as you walk through each room to see their perspective, their each individual take and design ideas. We have so much talent in Broome and Tioga County, it's surreal, it's motivating and inspirational,' said Swietzer. Starting Wednesday, there will be both self-guided open house tours and guided history tours available, plus several special events, a Smoke and Sip cigar and whiskey tasting, a Chef Showcase competition, Bunco and Bubbles, and a sneak peek champagne tour to get a first look at the revamped mansion.

Create Account Sunday was the annual Walk With Israel in Toronto. More than 56,000 people were there in support, but we were missing one — the mayor of Toronto, Olivia Chow. Once again she snubs the Jewish community, as she has done before. She seems to skip many things to do with the Jewish community. It's a sad day when this is acceptable. This used to be a wonderful city — not now. Norman Shifman Toronto (Chow has made her choices – as wrong as they are. It's important to remember this when it comes time for her re-election bid.

The King has finally responded to Donald Trump, and his reply did not come remotely, it was delivered from the very land of the 'strong and free.' The condition that Canada must either pay $61 billion to join Trump's Golden Dome or become the 51st state to receive it for free should now defuse itself. The message to our southern neighbour could not have been clearer than the King's arrival and his powerful speech. With his words affirming Canada's sovereignty, he has reinforced the nation's independent path, signalling that its decisions will not be dictated by external pressure. His presence and address serve as an historic moment, reminding the world that Canada stands firm in its identity and future direction.

BOCES honors CHOW with Business Spotlight Award
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Broome-Tioga BOCES is recognizing one of its business partners that gives its students real-life work experience. The school's Career Development Center honored CHOW and its director Les Aylesworth with its Business Spotlight award. Each year, BOCES recognizes 3 of its 400 business partners for assisting with job skills and placement. Currently seven students from the BOCES PALS and Oak Tree programs work in the CHOW warehouse which supplies individual food pantries across our area. Career Development Center Principal Steve Moschak says Aylesworth and CHOW have given the students real-world opportunities. 'This is their classroom. Their classroom is a warehouse where they learn work-based learning, skills. They get to do hands-on activities. Every single day it's different. They come in and they're helping the community, and it really helps to build confidence in themselves to hopefully work in the future,' said Moschak. Three of the students have even been able to achieve certification for operating forklifts in the warehouse. BOCES also supports CHOW through participation in the Kids Can Build annual food drive.

Corrections officers strike for second day: Demanding for safer conditions in prisons
AUBURN, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — For the second consecutive day, correction officers across the state, including those at Auburn Correctional Facility, protested for safer working conditions and safety measures. Over a hundred strikers stood across the street from Auburn's prison since 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 19, holding signs and chanting for change after reaching a breaking point after years of staff shortages and increased violence inside of state prisons. Judge grants order to stop correction officers strike Across New York state, there are approximately 30 correctional facilities where its officers and sergeants participated in either protesting their current work conditions inside of these prisons or simply refusing to enter the prisons for their scheduled shifts. In response to the protests, Governor Kathy Hochul has activated National Guard troops and is on standby to provide security that is missing from correctional employees who are out on strike. On Wednesday, strikers could see National Guard troopers entering Auburn Correctional Facility. One of the strikers outside of the Auburn prison, who wanted to remain anonymous, emphasized that this strike isn't about their wages; it's about their safety. All they wish is to go to work and perform their duties because, like most, they're mothers, fathers, and baseball coaches who have families and lives to attend to outside of the prison walls. 'The stats don't lie; for years, we've been sending stats. Assaults on staff are through the roof, and inmate-on-inmate assaults are through the roof. We are showing them that this prison system is not safe anymore, and it's fallen on deaf ears,' the anonymous striker said. These corrections officers are frustrated by the HALT Solitary Confinement Act enacted in March 2022, which they believe has caused many issues they face daily. This law limits the use of solitary confinement for any incarcerated individual over the age of 55, under the age of 21, and anyone who has a disability or is pregnant. 'Every day, getting assaulted, and there are no repercussions anymore. If I write a ticket on an inmate who is violating the rules of New York State prison, guess what you gotta send them right back out to the CHOW program, so basically, where's the line,' the striker said. Negotiations have continued throughout the day between the state's correctional officers association and the governor's office toward a resolution. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
