New York struggles back 2 days after killer storm
NEW YORK (AP) —
Flights resumed, but
slowly. The New York
Stock Exchange got back
to business, but on gen-
erator power. And with
the subways still down,
great numbers of people
walked across the
Brooklyn Bridge into
Manhattan in a reverse
of the exodus of 9/11.
Two days after
Superstorm Sandy ram-
paged across the
Northeast, killing at least
63 people, New York
struggled Wednesday to
find its way. Swaths of
the city were still with-
out power, and all of it
was torn from its daily
rhythms.
At luxury hotels and
drugstores and
Starbucks shops that
bubbled back to life,
people clustered around
outlets and electrical
strips, desperate to
recharge their phones. In
the Meatpacking District
of Manhattan, a line of
people filled pails with
water from a fire
hydrant. Two children
used jack-o'-lantern
trick-or-treat buckets.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo
said that parts of the
subway would begin
running again Thursday,
and that three of seven
tunnels under the East
River had been pumped
free of water, removing a
major obstacle to restor-
ing full service.
"We are going to need
some patience and some
tolerance," he said.
On Wednesday, both
were frayed. Bus service
was free but delayed,
and New Yorkers
jammed on, crowding
buses so heavily that
they skipped stops and
rolled past hordes of
waiting passengers.
New York City buses
serve 2.3 million people
on an average day, and
two days after the storm
they were trying to han-
dle many of the 5.5 mil-
lion daily subway riders,
too.
As far west as
Wisconsin and south to
the Carolinas, more than
6 million homes and
businesses were still
without power, includ-
ing about 650,000 in
New York City, Mayor
Michael Bloomberg said.
The mayor said 500
patients were being
evacuated from Bellevue
Hospital because of
storm damage. The hos-
pital has run on genera-
tors since the storm.
About 300 patients were
evacuated from another
Manhattan hospital
Monday after it lost gen-
erator power.
Bloomberg also can-
celed school the rest of
the week, and the
Brooklyn Nets, who just
moved from New Jersey,
scratched their home
opener against the
Knicks on Thursday.
Still, there were signs
that New York was flick-
ering back to life and
wasn't as isolated as it
was a day earlier.
Flights resumed at
Kennedy and Newark
airports on what author-
ities described as a very
limited schedule.
Nothing was taking off
or landing at LaGuardia,
which suffered far worse
damage. Amtrak said
trains will start running
in and out of New York
again on Friday.
The stock exchange,
operating on backup
generators, came back to

life after its first two-day
weather shutdown since
the blizzard of 1888.
Mayor Michael
Bloomberg rang the
opening bell to whoops
from traders below.
"We jokingly said this
morning we may be the
only building south of
midtown that has water,
lights and food," said
Duncan Niederauer, CEO
of the company that runs
the exchange, in hard-hit
lower Manhattan.
Most Broadway shows
returned for Wednesday
matinees and evening
shows.
Across the Hudson
River in New Jersey,
National Guardsmen in
trucks delivered ready-
to-eat meals and other
supplies to heavily flood-
ed Hoboken and rushed
to evacuate people from
the city's high-rises and
brownstones. The may-
or's office put out a plea
for people to bring boats
to City Hall for use in
rescuing victims.
Natural gas fires
erupted in Brick
Township, where scores
of homes were wrecked
by the storm. And some
of the state's barrier
islands, which took a
direct hit from Sandy on
Monday night, remained
all but cut off.
President Barack
Obama took a helicopter
tour of the ravaged coast
with New Jersey Gov.
Chris Christie.
"We are here for you,"
Obama said in
Brigantine, N.J. "We are
not going to tolerate red
tape. We are not going to
tolerate bureaucracy."
In New York, masses
of people walked shoul-
der-to-shoulder across
the Brooklyn Bridge to
get into Manhattan for
work, reminiscent of the
escape scenes from the
Sept. 11 terrorist attack
and the blackout of 2003.
They entered an
island sharply divided
between those who had
power and those who
did not.

have never taken part in a
penny auction before.
"If you don't know
how to play we will teach
you," she said. "It is really
quite easy."
Briefly, players will
purchase as many num-
bered cups as they wish
for $1 each. Each cup will
be numbered and will
have a corresponding
numbered ping pong ball
in a hopper. Prior to the
auction, the "penny
value" of all merchant
donated items will be
assessed. To bid on a
prize, place the designated
number of pennies in one
or more of your cups. If
your cup number is
drawn, and your cup con-
tains the "penny value"
assigned, you win that
item.
If there is no money in
the cup with the winning
number, then new num-
bers will be called until a
winner is found. All
money in the player's
cups will be dumped into
large containers in the
center of the table and will
be collected by United
Way volunteers.
All numbers drawn
will be returned to the
hopper so you can contin-
ue to play the whole eve-
ning. A new item will then
go up for auction.
"There will be a lot of
food, prizes and family
fun," Bullock said. "It's an
enjoyable game for the
whole family."
This year's United Way
goal is $110,000. All mon-
ies raised within the coun-
ty stay within the county,
going to help fund 16
local non-profit organiza-
tions serving people of all
ages throughout the coun-
ty, as well as helping sup-
port special events and
programs serving county
residents.

paign, or to make a dona-
tion or pledge, contact

Early Notice and Public Review of a Proposed Activity
in a 100-Year Floodplain
To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals
This is to give notice that the City of Mineral Wells under Part 58 has
conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 and/or
11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C
Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management, to
determine the potential affect that its activity in the floodplain will have
on the human environment for the Ventamatic FTD Facility under Texas
Capital Fund Contract # 712032. Ventamatic FTD desires to expand its
manufacturing operations at its 537 Grant Road location. This exist-
ing manufacturing location is partially in the 100 year floodplain. The
location consists of approximately 1.59 acres of which 95% are in the
floodplain. The proposed project is located 537 Grant Road, Mineral
Wells, Parker County, Texas.
There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may
be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest
in the protection of the natural environment should be given an oppor-
tunity to express their concerns and provide information about these
areas. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important
public educational tool. The dissemination of information about flood-
plains can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks
associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas.
Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines
it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains, it must inform
those who may be put at greater or continued risk.
Written comments must be received by the City of Mineral Wells at the
following address on or before November 17, 2012: 115 SW 1st Street,
Mineral Wells, TX 76067, (940) 328-7703, Attention: Mike Allen,
Mayor, during the hours of 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Comments may also
be submitted via email at Fance Howerton (citymanager@mineralwell-
stx.gov).
