Oklahoma News Report
9-14-12
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.

The annual Kids Count report issued by the Annie E. Casey Foundation bumped Oklahoma up three places from last year. But that still puts the state in an unenviable fortieth place.

Farm operations across the state are diminishing, and while bad weather certainly hasn't helped, factors like the scarcity of land, the high yields needed to make a profit, and an aging baby boom generation all contribute to the issue. Still, there are some young farmers who say they can't think of any other way they'd rather earn their living.

School is out for summer for most, but Tulsa has been playing host to more than 600 teacher trainees earning their stripes--or perhaps rulers--working with Teach for America. The soon-to-be teachers are prepping for a monumental task: two years of teaching in low-income schools across the state. Some will remain in Oklahoma's borders, working to further Teach for America's goals of improving education and student achievement.

School may be out for summer, but school employees across the state are educating lawmakers on their frustration over the new state budget. While 2013's budget grants money for teacher flex benefits and board-certified teacher bonuses, it's otherwise flat. That flat budget for the upcoming school year has some school superintendents saying that keeping their schools open has become nothing short of an emergency.
