Oklahoma’s State of Health: The People, the Economy, and the Environment 2018 – 2022 Fatemeh (Tannaz) Soltani, Ph.D. Lowell Caneday, Ph.D. December 2017 Acknowledgements As a part of the legacy of the 1960s, the United States Congress implemented the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission and, for the first time in the history of humans, a nation documented its natural resources with a focus on outdoor recreation. That review led to authorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) – a grant program to aid states and sub-state units in acquiring and developing outdoor recreation resources to meet needs of a changing society. Over the balance of the 20th century and continuing into the 21st century, society and technology related to outdoor recreation changed dramatically. Oklahoma has benefited greatly from grants through LWCF, as have cities, towns, and schools across the state. Tennis courts, parks, trails, campgrounds, and picnic areas remain as the legacy of LWCF and statewide planning. Oklahoma has sustained a commitment since 1967 to complete the federally mandated Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) every five years. That commitment has maintained the eligibility of Oklahoma and its constituents to receive LWCF grants. That commitment is noteworthy! Oklahoma has passed numerous milestones, grown in population, and remained committed to outdoor recreation as a major component of life in the state. Evidence of that commitment is shown in securing and managing public resources across the state. However, evidence of increasing stresses and demands for all resources demands significant planning to ensure the health of Oklahoma’s people, its environment, and its economy. The authors desired to meet federal expectations, to represent the interests of Oklahomans, and to present a plan that offers a secure future for Oklahoma and its people. “We know we belong to the land; and the land we belong to is grand.” “In America many would demand what in other lands had been reserved Fatemeh (Tannaz) Soltani, Ph.D. for the few.

  • The Intersection of Governance and Agency in Farmers' Engagement
    Who benefits?: The intersection of governance and agency in farmers’ engagement with the Oklahoma Farm to School Program by Gina K. Thornburg B.S., University of Kansas, 1985 B.A., University of Kansas, 1985 M.A., California State University, Northridge, 2005 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Geography College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2017 Abstract Farm-to-school (FTS) programs are promoted as direct-marketing opportunities for farmers. As such, they are regarded by advocates and state and federal agencies as a pathway to rural economic development. The implementation of FTS food procurement poses significant challenges, however. Farmers make decisions regarding whether or not to market products to schools after learning about the program and considering an array of signals from multiscalar policies and governance structures. Research to date has left a gap in understanding farmers’ agency as it relates to governance structures and policy signals. This research on farmers’ engagement with the Oklahoma FTS Program contributes evidence to bridge this gap by examining the experiences not only of producers who participated in a FTS program but also of those who ceased participation or who chose not to participate. Employing a phronetic approach to social science, this explanatory, sequential, mixed-methods case study obtained quantitative and textual data from a mail survey, as well as data from two stints of qualitative fieldwork, in fall 2011 and fall 2012, which involved semistructured interviews and participant observation. Archival research completed the study methods used to gain a deeper understanding of farmers’ perspectives, practices, values, and experiences that informed their decisions to participate or not in a top-down-administered FTS program.

Abstract The changes in native forest and grassland management regimes following European settlement, particularly fire exclusion, have prompted the growth of fire intolerant woody tree species such as eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana). Eastern redcedar is a native species that has encroached into the prairies and forests of the southern Great Plains of the United States. Over the past few decades, the state of Oklahoma has witnessed considerable ecological and economic losses due to the widespread encroachment of eastern redcedar. This study performed an economic impact analysis in conjunction with a spatial analysis to understand the impacts of the introduction of new eastern redcedar-based bioproducts industries on the economy of Oklahoma. The results suggested that the new eastern redcedar industry manufacturing particleboard, mulch, and oil would contribute an additional USD 96 million per year to the economy of Oklahoma, while generating 319 employment opportunities. In addition, the spatial analysis identified two hotspot clusters suggesting that the existing biomass in the northwest and southeast counties of the state could sustain the bioproducts industry for two to ten decades based on the annual feedstock requirement of different operations.

This document reflects a balanced synthesis of the work of all members of the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Social Studies Writing and Draft Committees. The standards specify what students should know and be able to do as learners of social studies at the end of each grade level or social studies course. The order of the standards at any grade level is not meant to imply a sequence of topics and should be considered flexible for the organization of any course. The Oklahoma Academic Standards for Social Studies were informed by the National Council of the Social Studies (NCSS) Skills Framework , the Center for Civic Education Civics Standards, the National Council for Geographic Education (NCGE) Geography for Life Standards, the Council for Economic Education Voluntary National Content Standards in Economics, the National Council for History Education (NCHE) Habits of Mind, the National Center for History in the Schools Standards for Historical Thinking, the Oklahoma Academic Standards for English Language Arts and Social Studies, and other states’ standards documents.

More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff. Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche.

  • Overview and Summary of Recent Initiatives
    Overview and Summary of Recent Initiatives In the summer of 2003, Governor Brad Henry initiated the Economic Oevelopment Generating Excellence (EDGE) project, which included the recommendation to "Transform Oklahoma into the w Research Capital of the Plains ." The EDGE plan proposed to achieve this by establishing a $1 billion research endowment. Under the leadership of the Governor, plans to fund the $1 billion EDGE endowment and structure and operate the endowment to support research and technology transfer in the private and public sector are progressing. During the 2005 legislative session, in a flISt step toward this objective, HB 1193 created the Dynamic Economy and Budget Security Fund, which promotes research and development of critical sectors of the statc's economy. The Legislature and Governor authorized the deposit of approximately $93 million into the fund. In the 2006 legislative session, that $93 million was used to fund other projects, but the money was replaced with new funding in the amount of$150 million. In March, 2005 Governor Brad Henry signed legislation establishing a $475 million bond issue for a slate of higher education projects, much of which targets research and laboratory facilities. The Oklahoma Higher Education Promise of Exce1lence Act of2005 also provided $25 million wthe foml ofa bond bank to fmance future improvements at the state's colleges and universities. The final $125 million in bonds of the $475 million total is scheduled to be sold in the spring of 2006. Among the projects to be funded with bond proceeds are the following: • University of Oklahoma: A long-proposed cancer center; the first phase of a multiphase project for a new, freestanding, Chemistry and Biochemistry teaching and research-laboratory complex; and constnlction of a College of Allied Health Phase II building.
