A northern, southern and western view of the city of Syracuse comes with this luxury corner penthouse in Mission Landing. The 3,300-square-foot condominium with a private rooftop deck features soaring ceilings, exposed antique wood beams and 12-foot-high paned windows. The condo is at 429 N. Franklin St. in the Mission Landing development in Franklin Square. It was designed by Holmes, King and Kallquist architects in 1990. The space was carved out of what was originally the Monarch Typewriter factory, built in 1906. "This was raw space when it was originally designed," said Peggy Cadaret, real estate representative from Prudential First Properties. The interior designer was Chester Sagenkahn. The two-floor condo with three bedrooms and three full bathrooms is priced at $969,900.
Give a leg up to therapy horses
I first became aware of equine, or hippotherapy ("hippo" being the Greek word for "horse," as in "hippopotamus" meaning "river horse"), several years ago when I attended a fundraiser at Winslow Therapeutic Center in Warwick. I am no fan of horses, but I became one (albeit from a distance) when I realized how much good they can do for people with disabilities of all kinds. Coincidentally, it also was a visit to Winslow that inspired Patricia Dickinson to train and test for North American Riding for the Handicapped Association certification, which qualifies her to teach horseback riding to children with disabilities. It has also helped her make her dream a reality: Cloud Nine Therapeutic Riding Center in Brackney, Pa. Research has shown there are many ways this kind of therapy can benefit children, as well as adults.

Fire damages Randolph homeowner's radio collection
William "Butch" Barber stood in his driveway in Randolph Monday night wearing only a T-shirt and boxers while firefighters sprayed water at the flames spreading through his house on Tulip Lane. His wife was outside. His dog, too. But left behind were his radios. Not just any radios. Barber has some 2,050 antique and contempo rary radios in a collection he started in 1972 and has long wanted to show in a museum. "I was lucky that my wife and I got out. But watching them (the firefighters), I felt sick the whole time. My radios," he said. The 62-year-old physical education teacher and former longtime Morristown councilman said he lost about 200 of his radios in the 10:38 p.m. blaze that left his house uninhabitable Monday.
