Dozens of churches, schools and government buildings across Minnesota plan to ring their bells at 3:53 p.m. Wednesday in memory of the victims of the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti one year ago. The "Bells for Haiti" initiative, organized by a group of Haiti advocates in Minnesota, calls for organizations to ring their bells for 35 seconds, the duration of the quake. More than a quarter million people died and more than one million were left homeless in the earthquake, which struck at 3:53 p.m. Central Standard Time. Places where bells will toll include the Minneapolis City Hall, the Cathedral of St. Paul and the campuses of Carleton and St. Olaf colleges in Northfield, Minn.
