Oklahoma News Report
October 7th, 2011 (57:44)
Evidence of the state's decaying infrastructure is visible at the state capitol, where the nearly century old structure is clearly showing its age. Call it a reverse brain drain. Nearly 90% of graduates of Oklahoma’s colleges and universities live and work in state one year after getting a diploma. Oklahoma's alcohol laws were put in place in 1959. The move has begun to make changes that will likely be decided by voters. We visit a dying city in its final days and look at the reason for its demise. And, comparing Oklahoma’s drought to extreme weather in Africa.

ONR Extra Prairie Chicken (3:35)
Featured in ONR Extras
A stocky, ground-dwelling bird is at the center of an impending decision which could have a major impact on businesses and industries that operate in northwest Oklahoma. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is currently conducting a study to determine whether the lesser prairie chicken should be listed as an endangered species and receive protection. State officials and business leaders testified at a forum sponsored by U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe--arguing that such a listing could pose major economic development problems in the region. Among those participating in that forum were new wildlife service director Dan Ashe and Oklahoma Secretary of the Environment Gary Sherrer.

Temperatures may have dropped, but fire departments across the state are still feeling the heat. The drought that began last October was made worse by months of 100-plus heat, cooking up a cruel summer for firefighters. The spread of wildfires across the state is only the latest in a string of disasters to hit Oklahoma. We talk to Albert Ashwood, Director of the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management about that agency's response.

International Drought (6:03)
Featured in Top Stories
Oklahoma is deep into a multi-year drought. That word drought has a different meaning depending on where in the world it's occurring. For Oklahomans drought causes a variety of problems, especially for agriculture. But, in parts of Africa, it's a matter of life and death. The reporter on this story, Alex Chamwada, has been one of the most recognizable television journalists in Kenya for more than a decade. He's visiting Oklahoma through a state department project at Oklahoma State University.

Tar Creek Superfund (11:12)
Featured in Top Stories
It was almost a century ago that a mining camp was established in far northeastern Oklahoma, in an area that would become the town of Picher. By the 1920's Picher was the center of the largest lead and zinc mining operation in the nation. But now, Picher does not exist. The town died from contamination, by-products of mining, which forced the federal government to close Picher and relocate its residents. And while almost all the people are gone, much of the hazard still remains.
