			<title><![CDATA[Cox Recommends Monetary Donations]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
	The human thing to do after an event such as the tornado that devastated Moore is to send things that people need to put their lives back together.&amp;nbsp; Washington County Emergency Manager Kary Cox says the best way to help is to make a monetary donation through a recognized charity.

	Cox says many people have the urge to send water or food for the rescue workers or clothing and household items for the storm victims. He says you should also consider the logistics of the situation.

	Cox also reminds you that when you donate to an organization such as the Red Cross or Salvation Army, they always consider donor intent for their funds.&amp;nbsp; If you want the money to go toward Moore tornado relief, mark your donation that way.&amp;nbsp; If you don&amp;#39;t specify how the money is to be used, then the organization may have trouble using your donation.

			<title><![CDATA[Red Cross Tornado Response]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
	Whenever a tornado or major disaster occurs, many groups come together to aid those in need. The Washington County Chapter of the Red Cross is part of one of those organizations. As of Monday night, the American Red Cross had dispatched more than 25 emergency response vehicles and opened four shelters in the Oklahoma City area. With all the needs that we see on television, how can we as individuals help?&amp;nbsp; Rhonda Rayl (RAIL), a volunteer at the Washington County Red Cross, says that right now what the Red Cross is collecting to help those in need is money. By providing money cards to those in need, the Red Cross allows the affected to take control of a part of their lives and get what they need. Another way we can help is by donating blood. According to the Red Cross, blood is needed in the United States every two seconds. The local chapter holds blood drives approximately every two months but if you want to donate now, the Tulsa Chapter of the Red Cross accepts blood donors every day.

			<title><![CDATA[Moore Supplies Accepted]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
	A local business will accept the items you donate to the Salvation Army in support of the rescue and recovery effort in the Moore area. Kathy Roberts of Tallgrass Estates in Bartlesville has a list of items the Salvation Army needs at this time.

	Roberts says local emergency management officials aren&amp;#39;t ready to take your donated water, clothing, or other items yet because they don&amp;#39;t have the ready storage space. Tallgrass Estates will store everything until workers in Moore are ready for them.&amp;nbsp; Roberts says just drive up to the front door with your donation.

	You can also make a cash donation to the Salvation Army or Red Cross and they can use the money to buy the supplies they need on site.&amp;nbsp; You can phone the local Red Cross office at 918-336-2216 or text redcross to 90999 and donate ten dollars to the disaster relief effort.&amp;nbsp; The Salvation Army will accept your online donation at www.salvationarmy.org

			<description><![CDATA[
	Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame member and four-time World Champion Steer Roper, 88 year-old Shoat Webster of Lenapah passed away on Monday.&amp;nbsp;

	From 1949-55, Howard Choteau &amp;quot;Shoat&amp;quot; Webster dominated steer roping, winning four world championships and twice finishing runner-up.

			<title><![CDATA[96 Year Old Business Discussed in Dewey]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
	Among budget and sales tax discussions, the Dewey City Council discussed property issues that involved two determined citizens.&amp;nbsp; The first issue was in regards to demolishing a home determined to be dilapidated. A house at 411 North Ross that the owner had been using as a storage space had been determined to be dilapidated and was set to be demolished. After a lengthy discussion, the Council decided to allow the owner 60 days to remove her items from and demolish the building.&amp;nbsp; After approving amendments to the 2012-2013 budget, the Council heard from Pat Hopkins, owner of Peter&amp;#39;s True Value. Hopkins had sent a letter to the City of Dewey about purchasing city land to build a 17 thousand square foot building for her 96 year old business. Hopkins read a letter from True Value describing possible sales revenues that could exceed one million dollars. Council members shared worries that the building would be too large and limit future businesses in the area. After much discussion, the Council voted to&amp;nbsp; have Hopkins meet with City Manager Kevin Trease to discuss an official offer for the land. An offer for the land could be made as early as Tuesday evening. The next Dewey City Council Meeting is set for June 3rd at 7 PM.
