Oklahoma's torrential downpours and subsequent floods have turned into more than last week's headlines for five members of Spokane-based Humane Evacuation Animal Rescue Team. The group arrived in Miami, Okla., on Thursday sporting latex gloves and homemade cookies on a weeklong mission to assist the region's ailing animals. "They were practically fighting with each other over who could go," said the group's president, Janis Christensen, about a group of more than 100 volunteers trained in first aid, helicopter safety, and "lots and lots" of animal handling, said Christensen.

When reporters seek comment from a victim's family member, they often turn to Smith, who lost both her young sons in the April 19, 1995, bombing. "I've received a lot of criticism from other bombing victims for doing a lot of interviews and sharing my feelings," she says. But as uncomfortable as some people may be with it, she says, the talking has ensured one thing: "Most people know the Smith boys and how they were killed."
