Broome-Tioga BOCES's annual WARS Day competition
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The sound of heavy machinery and the smell of freshly cooked food dominated the senses at BOCES today as students competed against each other in an all day event. Broome-Tioga BOCES held it's annual WARS Day competition. Throughout the day, students across six areas of study competed against each other, as representatives from local businesses judged the students' creations. The different areas of study were TV Production, Graphic Arts, Carpentry, Heavy Equipment Repair and Operation, Culinary Arts, and Cosmetology. The beauty school students were facing off on the runway, while the carpentry students were building commercial and residential frame projects. Carpentry Instructor Tim Matthews says the students get excited about facing off against each other. 'They're preparing for a career, so we're trying to get these students set up, not only with skills they need for life, but also with the skills they need to have a career ahead of them. We send a lot of students every year out to the carpenters' union, we send a lot of students out to local contractors around the area, and it just prepares them and puts them a step ahead for entering the workforce,' Matthews said. While the culinary competition had specific judges, all BOCES staff were able to enjoy the fruits of their efforts.

New Endwell housing complex construction well underway
ENDWELL, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A new affordable housing complex is being built in Endwell geared toward making certain vulnerable seniors have a roof over their heads. Non-profit developer CDS Monarch held a groundbreaking ceremony this morning for the Hooper Road Apartments complex in Endwell, even though the building is already well under construction. CDS Monarch was formed in 2012 in the Rochester area and specializes in low-income housing projects across Upstate New York and Florida. Once completed, the complex will feature 78 one-bedroom apartments and a couple of two bedrooms. To be eligible, residents must be over the age of 62 and make between 30 to 60 percent of the Area Median Income. Half of the units will be reserved for seniors deemed at risk of homelessness. CDS CEO Andrew Sewnauth says it's his company's first project in Broome County. 'The need for affordable housing keeps increasing. We're seeing it in Rochester, people need a place to live, they're moving from place to place to try to keep up with their income. We know that these type of projects are going to be in demand. The government has just put in more dollars in their budget this year just for more projects like this. So, we just see that it keeps increasing,' Sewnauth said. CDS is partnering with the SEPP Group to manage the property. SEPP already runs the neighboring Marian Apartments complex. And the YWCA will provide supportive housing services for those in need. The $29 million project is receiving $15 million in tax credits and a $12 million subsidy from New York State Homes and Community Renewal. Broome County is providing $400,000 from its ARPA funding. Sewnauth says the project, which has been in development for 7 years, is expected to be completed by the end of this year and ready for leasing early next year.

James G. Johnston Memorial Nursing Home to close in July
JOHNSON CITY, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – United Methodist Homes has made the 'very difficult decision' of closing a Johnson City nursing home, which has been in operation since 1974, this summer. The Executive leadership of United Methodist Homes' Hilltop Campus told News 34 that the 27 current residents of James G. Johnston Memorial Nursing Home will have to find alternate housing as of 'tentatively' July 19, 2025, which meets the required 60-day notice for residents. Vice President of Sales and Marketing for United Methodist Homes, Betsy Vannatta, says the leadership is working closely with families and residents to help them find new facilities to reside. 'Each and every resident and their families will be guided through the process and will be assisted in securing a new housing option as residents and their families are, and will continue to be UMH's top priority. The staff are equally valued and a priority and it is the goal of UMH to retain and reposition as many staff as possible. They are working closely with staff members to identify other employment opportunities within the organization,' Vannatta said. JGJ Memorial has been caring for Broome County seniors and those in need for over 50 years. CEO of UMH, Brian Picchini, says the reasoning for the closure is due to financial strain brought on by the 'insufficient Medicaid Program reimbursement available for nursing home services,' particularly in Broome County, where the number of Medicaid-eligible seniors is higher than usual. 'Essentially, the inadequate reimbursement rate system has not kept pace with the rising cost of care. Therefore, it has been determined the best course of action is to cease operations at JGJ,' Vannatta said. Vannatta did note that the closure is specifically to the nursing home facility, which does not affect the independent and assisted living operations on the Hilltop Campus. 'We remain committed to providing seniors a safe, secure community where they can continue to have access to the care and services needed when the time comes. While we regret the need to cease operation of our nursing home, we are forward looking and have plans to enhance ourcommunity by expanding resident access to wellness and preventative care programs and expand services in other areas which we believe will not only be successful in meeting resident needs, but will better match resident preferences,' stated Ron Patti, Chief Operating Officer. Vannatta says the nursing home will remain open and operational until they 'have successfully secured placement for each and every resident.'
