At the turn of the century, 117 invitations were sent to female pilots across the country to join the second meeting of the All Women Transcontinental Air Race. 99 pilots answered the call, joining a community of female fliers that have been supporting each other in the friendly--and sometimes not so friendly--skies.

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.

Her story played out in national headlines: kidnapped in 2002, gone for nine long months, counted as lost by many, and then rescued after authorities were told about her kidnappers' whereabouts. What's not so well known is the aftermath of Elizabeth Smart's kidnapping. She has taken her experience and turned it into a tool for advocacy, working to prevent crimes against children. Recently, Smart spoke at the Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma's inaugural Women of Character speaker series about her harrowing experience, and how she turned her tragedy into triumph.

Newsmaker Interview: Darrell Weaver
Featured in Top Stories
Oklahoma currently rests between the horns of a new law meant to target and stop the creation of meth. The first half of House Bill 2491 came into effect in July limits the amount of cold medicine, like Sudafed or Claritin-D, an individual can purchase in a given amount of time. The other half of the bill will soon link Oklahoma up to other nearby states via an electronic system that tracks the sale of drugs used to make meth. We spoke to Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drug Director Darrell Weaver about the new law and how it's being used to stomp out an age-old problem.

As wildfires scorch Oklahoma, state groups and charitable organizations scramble to meet the needs of those affected by the blaze. But fires are unfortunately nothing new to the state. We speak with officials in one town that has learned the hard way how to prevent fire--and the best way to battle the flames. We speak with StateImpact Oklahoma Digital Reporter Joe Wertz about the volunteer firefighters that throw caution--and their day jobs--to the wind to save others. Plus, school funding has some officials fuming, the 2012 Kids Count report bumps the state up in the rankings of child welfare to an unenviable 40th place, and the art of the tattoo, on this episode of ONR.
