Mercy House prepares for $2.1 million expansion
ENDICOTT, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A local facility that has brought comfort to dying patients and their families is expanding to serve more. The Mercy House of the Southern Tier in Endicott is celebrating the completion of a new 2,500 square foot addition. The new wing includes six bedrooms for residents, bringing the total to 16. There's also an additional nurse's station, storage pantries, and a laundry room. Named after Robert and Catherine McDevitt, the $2.1 million expansion was paid for with foundation support, grants, and individual donations. Executive Director Linda Cerra says the community care center has averaged a six to seven person waiting list over its nine-year existence. 'We have found that care is priceless, and each person that comes through here deserves that respect, dignity, and compassion during their end-of-life journey,' said Cerra. The Mercy House is holding an open house for its new wing this Sunday, starting at 2 p.m. Then on Monday, existing residents will be moved into the new wing so that minor renovations can occur in the original facility before opening up to full capacity.

Upstate Democrats oppose cow limit for dairy farms
(WIVT/WBGH) – Some Upstate Democrats in the New York State Assembly are pushing back on a proposal that would limit the size of dairy farms. Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo, who is chair of the Agriculture Committee, and three of her Democratic colleagues issued a news release this week in opposition to a proposal by downstate Democrats to end the authorization of dairy farms with more than 700 milking cows. Lupardo says she was disappointed that the bill would be crafted without consulting anyone in the dairy industry. She also says dairy farmers are some of the best stewards of the land that she knows. Lupardo added that she doesn't foresee the bill going anywhere.
