NEW YORK
Bloomberg support
The speaker of the New York City Council says she supports Mayor Michael Bloomberg in his bid to stay in office for a third term. Christine Quinn said Sunday that voters should have the choice of keeping the current leadership during the financial crisis. Quinn, a Democrat, was considered a likely candidate for mayor next year. Bloomberg, a Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-independent, is due to leave office next year. He is pushing for a change in city law that would let officials run for a third term.
First at Ellis Island
The New York grave of an Irish woman who was the first immigrant to pass through Ellis Island has been marked with a Celtic cross. Clergy members joined Annie Moore's descendants and admirers Saturday in a Queens Cemetery. She died 80 years ago, but her unmarked grave was discovered only two years ago. Moore was 17 when she arrived in New York from County Cork in 1892. The Irish consul general in New York says she is a symbol for the hundreds of thousands of Irish who settled in New York.
ATLANTA
Blast anniversary
The bombing of a prominent Atlanta synagogue in 1958 claimed no lives, but the community outrage that it prompted helped galvanize the city's nervous Jewish community to embrace the civil-rights movement. Members of the Temple gathered Sunday for the blast's 50th anniversary, recalling its terrifying aftermath and the way it changed their congregation's mission to promote racial equality.
PETROLIA, PA.
Evacuees return
About 2,500 people who fled when a corrosive liquid overflowed from a tank at a chemical plant were allowed to return home Sunday after authorities determined that no toxins remained in the air. A material called oleum, similar to sulfuric acid, leaked from a tank at the Indspec Chemical Corp. plant on Saturday and evaporated into a toxic cloud, plant manager Dave Dorko said. All 30 employees of the plant in Petrolia, about 40 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, were evacuated and no injuries were reported, he said. Authorities went door to door to warn the 2,500 people living within three miles to evacuate.
LoS ANGELES
Firefighting progress
Firefighters backed by water-dumping helicopters and planes gained ground Sunday on a wildfire that destroyed two homes and forced the evacuation of about 1,200 people in a rugged area 20 miles north of downtown. The blaze charred up to 750 acres and also burned a garage, several sheds and three motor homes, said Los Angeles County Fire Department spokesman Ron Haralson. No one was seriously injured, but a firefighter and one resident reported minor breathing problems.
