Remake of old state center
in Wingdale back on track
By BILL FALLON
There
is a room at the Harlem Valley Psychiatric
Center in Wingdale with mold on the floor
so thick it looks like lush broadloom.
Brooding
and brick, the psychiatric campus consists
of 80 mostly early 20th-century buildings
straddling Route 22. A 1964 hospital dominates
the hill east of the older structures, empty
and slated for demolition, as are half the
older ones if plans hold. read more

By KATHY KAHN
What
began as a much-heralded move to get hundreds
of homeless New York City drifters out of
Orange County backyards and back alleys has
turned into a real estate campaign of war
chests, ability and viability. read more

Something new and what that means
By BILL FALLON
“I
wish my Esen were able to write to you
herself, but unfortunately at 15 she is
unable to pick out her own clothes, nor
give me all the headaches that come with
teenage years. She’s disabled with a seizure
disorder and mental retardation, but if
she could write to you herself, I know
how appreciative she would be. So, truly
from the bottom of my heart I thank you.
You’ve helped a big but little girl to
look pretty and be warm and comfortable
as she starts school. Feel proud for your
time, effort and generosity. Thanks a million!
