| − | |2= If things go as planned, boarded up windows and abandoned buildings at a former insane asylum, [[Central State Hospital]], could be renovated as medical research centers. Mayor Bentley says one of the buildings included in the renovations project is the old nursing dormitory. He says they'd use it to house the current Georgia College nursing students. | + | |2=The 128-year-old former mental health institute in the small southwest Iowa city of Clarinda isn’t your typical real estate opportunity, and so far no one is rushing to move in. More than seven months after the state closed the Clarinda Mental Health Institute, much of the sprawling building remains empty, including entire floors that haven’t been used in decades. |

| − | |2= The next time you're at Quarry Hill Park in Rochester you may stumble upon the old state hospital cemetery. There's a group marking over 2,000 graves that were left nameless. "The patients were initially given at the state hospital a can of cement with numbers imprinted on the top that corresponded to a patient list and it indicates their location out here on the cemetery," said Beth Thompson, of the Rochester State Hospital Cemetery Recognition Group. | + | |2=Christina Morris happily remembers Sunday morning breakfasts with her grandparents, followed by visits to the peaceful cemeteries on the grounds of the Peoria State Hospital, where some family members are buried. “My interest with the state hospital started when I was about 7 years old,” Morris said in a recent interview. “When I would come onto the grounds (my grandfather) would say that this was a place of special people. (By special) I thought he meant giants, because these buildings were so big and beautiful and immaculate to me. I just was enamored by how beautiful it was.” |

| − | }}
| + | |2=Not too long ago, more than 60,000 people were sterilized in the United States based on eugenic laws. Most of these operations were performed before the 1960s in institutions for the so-called “mentally ill” or “mentally deficient.” In the early 20th century across the country, medical superintendents, legislators, and social reformers affiliated with an emerging eugenics movement joined forces to put sterilization laws on the books. |

| − | |2= Gov. Christie has decided to close the state’s Hagedorn Psychiatric Hospital here in June 2012, to the dismay of area lawmakers. But members of the board that oversees it vow to continue their work to the very end. “I’m very, very disappointed in the governor’s decision,” said state Sen. Michael Doherty (R-Warren/Hunterdon), a member of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee. “It’s tragic on so many levels.”

When firefighters followed the smoke, they discovered a room in the former [[Central Indiana State Hospital]] was burning. Those flames were knocked down quickly and contained to the first floor.

| − | |2= The Otter Tail County Historical Society is hoping that a last minute push by area residents can help convince people around the state that the Kirkbride building matters. “This Place Matters,” an initiative sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, launched a community challenge contest in June. Groups dedicated to preserving a particular place were able to enter a place into the challenge’s ranks, and people can vote for a cause they find compelling. This year, the historical society entered the [[Fergus Falls State Hospital]] into the community challenge. As of 8:30 a.m. today, it is the 82nd most voted for place in the challenge, out of 100.

| |
| − | |2= The state is still weighing its options on what to do with a 57-acre facility in Crownsville, but one man has a vision to transform the area into a “megacenter of health, healing and hope.” In April, the Maryland Board of Public Works declared the former headquarters of the state Department of Housing and Community Development as surplus, and moved forward with plans to sell it. The building was once the home to the [[Crownsville State Hospital]].

| − | |2= This is where 5,776 patients of [[Willard State Hospital]] are buried. They either died at the large psychiatric hospital or were returned here after they died. Willard was closed by the state in 1995, (it’s now home to a state corrections drug rehab center) although Colleen says there was a burial as recently as 2000. At one time, I could have looked out at hundreds of metal tomb stones sticking out of the ground. Now the place has gone back to nature; only a few of the old markers are visible.

The $15 million that developer Bob Hughes has offered to pay for the property was ruled as “adequate compensation” by Judge Ernest Kinard Jr. of Camden. The sale now must be approved by the State Budget and Control Board, which is expected to decide at its meeting next week.

| − | |2= WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — Recently, actress and writer Carrie Fisher told Oprah Winfrey that she receives electroconvulsive therapy regularly to treat depression caused by her bipolar disorder. Taken aback, Winfrey asked, "They still do that?" Yes, they do. About 100,000 people in the United States receive electroconvulsive therapy, better known as electric shock treatment, every year for severe mental illness, but that number may be surprising to those who thought ECT went out of favor with the advent of better psychotropic drugs.

The goal of the event was to show that economic development and historical preservation – at the Regional Treatment Center and at other places around the city – are not mutually exclusive concepts. “It’s not only an academic, esoteric thing to say that (historic buildings) are part of our heritage,” said event host Chris Schuelke, executive director of the Otter Tail County Historical Society. He introduced five speakers to show that historic sites can be converted into economic drivers while keeping a city’s heritage intact.

Among those requesting that demolition be delayed was Global Athlete Village, a Minnesota-based non-profit service organization interested in the Kirkbride building. “They’re working on putting together a proposal, but they had urged the council not to proceed with any demolition at this time,” said City Administrator Mark Sievert.

Numerous Firefighters from Carroll, Howard, and Baltimore Counties were called to assist. The Sykesville Fire Department has responded to numerous fires at the abandoned state hospital in the past several years. The hospital has been shut down by the state and there is no electric or utilities to the facility. It continues to be a problem for firefighter safety when we are called to the scene. In recent years the facility has been a hot spot for malicious teenagers and ghost hunters.

ESH, located on West Fourth Street in Lexington, is the second oldest psychiatric facility in the country and is thought to have thousands of bodies buried in different locations near the hospital.
