Dust Bowl: Flood Control Dams
10-19-12
Featured in Top Stories
People often think of the Dust Bowl sweeping away the Oklahoma topsoil in furious winds, but rarely do people think about that same soil being washed away due to erosion. But this was an issue and a lesson taken from the Dust Bowl, one that's led to the creation of flood control dams.

Crude Spy Games
10-5-12
Featured in Top Stories
Skimming over the ground, a photographer with infrared gear hangs out a plane and surreptitiously snaps off a few frames. Miles overhead, a satellite receives a signal and starts gathering footage of tanks below. Both are sending their information and images to groups looking to buy low, sell high. Sound like something out of a James Bond film? Maybe, but it's also a description of what's actually going on right now in Cushing, Oklahoma. Investors are scrutinizing the amount of oil being stored in Cushing's oil tanks in hopes of selling it for a profit. We spoke with StateImpact's Joe Wertz, who has been following this story, about these crude oil spy games.

Drones have become a common sight on the battlefield, but some public safety agencies would like to see them used in a different battle: the fight against crime. Other groups are also eying the potential of this unmanned aerial support. ONR's Cathy Tatom has more.

Newsmaker Interview: Dr. Ravi Jayakaran

Featured in Top Stories
There are no shortage of water issues in Oklahoma, from droughts to usage rights and water rationing. But this isn't a new problem; water has been both a necessity and an issue the world over. One group in particular has dedicated itself to helping countries with water shortages and the issues that crop up in its wake: Map International. We spoke with Dr. Ravi Jayakaran, Vice President of Global Programs, about the group and their work.

Oklahoma News Report
9-21-12
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.

A new battle has erupted in the state's ongoing water wars, one not over who has rights to certain sources, but what has happened to one particular aquifer in southeastern Oklahoma, and who's to blame: drought, mining operations, or both?

Life on a Rig
9-14-12
Featured in Top Stories
Oil and natural gas production has helped Oklahoma weather the eye of the recession's storm, adding jobs and money to the state's economy. It's also added money to many rig hands' wallets, providing high wages for the long hours and hard work demanded on drilling rigs. But along with job security and wages sometimes comes hazardous conditions.

Oklahoma News Report
8-24-12
In this ONR, an interim study takes a closer look at the Oklahoma Department of Veteran Affairs, and what they find isn't pretty. Copper thefts are on the rise, but one local company is using its ingenuity to halt thieves, and perhaps save a few lives along the way. A local company shutters its doors, and the loss of over a hundred jobs hits hard. Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle: it's the new motto of one Oklahoma company, as they craft a plan to recycle hydraulic fracturing water. Plus, business news, U.S. senators, and kilts and car repairs, on this ONR.
