WHEN: Sept. 7 - Oct. 2, Monday - Friday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm WHERE: AR Photography 707 Texas Ave. next to Taco Cabana HOMESTEAD, Fla. - Two weeks after being pounded by Hurricane Andrew, south Florida staggered Monday toward what might have to pass for normalcy, as temporary crises gave wry to the beginnings of a long recovery. Authorities said shelter, food, water and clothing were available to everyone who needed them. The desperate scramble for life's necessities was replaced by long lines for food stamps and federal grants, tedious home repairs and cleanup, and family life in annoy ingly close quarters at military tent cities. “It's beginning to look more like the old neighborhood again," said Bob Beolet, mowing a neigh bor's lawn in the hard-hit Cutler Ridge area. "It's good to see the clean up guys here." Down the block from Beolet, county garbage crews loaded de bris into dump trucks. At another house, a contracting crew nailed plywood and tarpaper on a roof peeled apart by Andrew's 165 mph wind Aug. 24. New federal and state aid cen ters opened, handing out millions of dollars in food stamps, disaster grants and interest-free loans. Help-wanted signs sprouted along U.S. 1, some for home sup ply stores struggling to keep up with demand. Contractors roamed tent cities seeking laborers at $10 an hour. Federal marshals exhorted the res idents to work. "We don't want people to just sit around all day," said Eric Thompson, a deputy U.S. marshal The five tent cities, initialll shunned by most storm refugees, suddenly were nearly full Mon day. Evacuees were sent out of H schools that had served as shel ters; the schools had to be pre pared for the start of classes Sept 14, two weeks late. "We feel it's real important that the kids get back into school.lt will put a normal pattern back into their lives," said Nancy Retherford, a Red Cross spokes woman. Military tents housed 2,154 peo ple early Monday, and ArmyB Col. Bill Reynolds said more tent cities may be built. "It's no longer just a few tents,' said Roland Bombalier, who went to the one at Harris Field six days earlier. "It's really a small town.” His new neighborhood includes a medical tent, kitchen, showers, a barber shop, a YMCA day care tent filled with raucous children, and a tent with lawyers offering free advice. Amenities such as televisions and videocassette recorders have been added, and a sound stage was being built for live band per formances.
