On this ONR, we travel the seedy road of human trafficking in Oklahoma, and speak with the people behind the groups aimed at stopping it. As October 1st kicked off Domestic Abuse Awareness Month, we speak with Paige Mills-Haag and Courtney Hamar with the OKC-YWCA about breaking the cycle of abuse. It's official--a longstanding employer in Vinita will shutter its doors before the end of the year, and now the burden of offsetting the loss of jobs falls to the town. Plus, CNG state vehicles, crude oil spy games, state fairs and sculptors, on this ONR.

Tulsa State Fair

The smell of popcorn and cotton candy, the dazzling lights of the midway, the competitions, the games, the festivities, all small parts that add up to the big allure of a fair. It's a well-known fact that Oklahoma boasts two state fairs: the Oklahoma State Fair and the Tulsa State Fair. What's not so well-known is exactly why. ONR's Cathy Tatom went out to discover why the dualities, and why one fair just wasn't enough.

On this episode of the ONR, we explore the evolution and complications of campaign finance since Citizens United was ruled constitutional, deeming companies as people.

On this ONR, we explore the payday loan stores that Oklahomans are using in droves--as much as twice the national average. Then, as bodies of water dry up and a key aquifer in southeastern Oklahoma is depleted, residents are left wondering if local mining operations are to blame. In the eastern wing of the state, three entities--a university, a hospital, and a high school--are banding together to help end the shortage of rural doctors. Medicine isn't the only concern of rural parts of the state. We speak with Mike Spradling, President of the Oklahoma Farm Bureau, about the Farm Bill languishing in Congress, and what that means for local farmers. Plus, the Great State Fair, voters speak their mind, and painting up the ice, on this ONR.

On this episode of the ONR, oil production is booming in Oklahoma, and that means employment for many across the state. But the work, while plentiful, can be dangerous, as we learn from StateImpact's Joe Wertz who has been reporting on the pitfalls of the oil field. In Tulsa, researchers from across the United States and around the globe gather to work out a harrowing problem: why does child abuse keep occurring, and what can be done to stop it? Plus, we speak with one of the nation's last political cartoonists and the news cycles that inspire him, visit Oklahoma wine country, and get lost in a maze--or is it maize?--of Thunder, on this ONR.

On this week's ONR, schools across the country are growing more diverse, and it's causing unique problems for some Oklahoma educators. Clean energy abounds in the Sooner state, or it's trying to. Lawmakers and leaders continue to push for compressed natural gas vehicles, and while Oklahoma is eighth in the country for wind energy production, the loss of a tax credit could leave a booming industry blowing in the wind. Out of the ashes of the state's recent wildfires, communities come together to help students left homeless from the flames, and one program is helping rural residents better fireproof vulnerable houses. Plus, a trip to Tulsa's historic Greenwood District, an exploration of a tribe's history, and a look at the high-flying women of the Museum of the 99's on this ONR.

Greenwood Yesterday and Today
Featured in Top Stories
The district where Tulsa's 1921 Race Riots occurred is close to being added to the National Registry of Historic Places, but controversy over the project abounds. Greenwood community leaders are concerned parts of the district once dubbed 'America's Black Wall Street' will be left out in favor of sections of Tulsa's downtown in order to meet a historic building requirement for the Registry. Ironically, the reason Greenwood doesn't have the required historical buildings is because many were razed during the Race Riots. But out of the ashes of those razed buildings and broken dreams rose a cultural epicenter, now flourishing with restaurants, recreational activities, and monuments to a harrowing moment in Tulsa's past.
