Hello
there
and
welcome
once
again
to
the
mayor's
magazine,
I'm
Mick
Cornett,
the
mayor
of
Oklahoma
City,
and
this
is
our
program
for
july
2016.
Thank
you
for
joining
us.
Well,
if
you've
been
on
downtown
streets
on
sheridan
heading
east,
you
might
have
looked
over
to
your
left
and
seeing
an
incredibly
large
mural
of
oklahoma
city
thunder
center
Steven
Adams
and
if
you're
a
fan
of
the
thunder
or
have
seen
this
piece
of
artwork
I
think
you're
going
to
enjoy
our
first
guest.
It
is
Graham
boy
dee,
graham
welcome
to
the
show.
Thank
you.
A
Graham
grew
up
in
New
Zealand
same
country
as
Steven
Adams
now
lives
in
Australia,
but
was
specifically
inspired
to
come
to
Oklahoma,
City
and
and
paint
this
giant
mural
of
one
of
the
thunders
top
players.
So,
to
give
us
a
little
bit
of
background
out
here,
how
does
the
guy
in
Australia
suddenly
say
you
know
what
I'm
going
to
go
to
Oklahoma,
City
and
and
paint
a
picture
on
the
side
of
a
building,
I
think.
B
In
essence,
that's
pretty
much
how
it
happened.
I
originally
intended
to
come
to
the
u.s.
to
do
a
tribute
portrait
of
prints
and
Minneapolis,
so
I'm
actually
going
to
be
doing
that
after
I've
completed
the
portrait
of
Steven
Adams.
So
but
I
thought
well
one
while
I'm
flying
to
the
US
Steven
Adams
as
huge
as
a
huge
name
right
now
on
the
news,
everything
right
now
and
he's
a
national
inspiration
in
New
Zealand
he's
a
national
hero
and
all
of
the
nation
of
New
Zealand
is
just
cheering
him
on
so
proud
of.
B
Stephen
Adams,
you
know
I
would
be
surprised
if
half
the
nation
of
New
Zealand
is
a
thunder
is
feeling
right
right
now,
so
it's
great
and
so
I
thought
well.
I
want
to
make
the
most
of
my
time
here
and
I'm
going
to
try
and
come
to
Oklahoma
City
and
paint
some
real
ups
of
Steven
Adams
man,
purely
just
as
a
gift
from
on
behalf
of
myself
in
New
Zealand
to
Stephen
and
the
city
of
Oklahoma.
So
that's
in
essence,
why
I'm
doing
the
portrait
and
how.
A
B
B
I'm,
probably
three-quarters
of
the
way
through
I'll
finish
it
tonight,
and
so
yeah
I
wanted
to
present
a
portrait
that
kind
of
captured
the
the
cultural
side
of
stephenie's,
haftung
and
half
New
Zealand
moldy,
so
I'm,
a
new
zealand
moldy,
so
part
of
our
culture
is
the
we
known
as
the
men
are
known
as
warriors,
and
so
we
do
what's
called
the
haka
as
well.
You
may
fit
of
the
all
black
rugby
team.
B
A
B
Oil,
what
is
that
yeah?
It's
basically
spray
paint
whenever
you're
with
murals
the
best
medium
to
use
and
the
most
effective
in
official
medium
to
use
a
spray
paint
purely
because
you're
working
on
such
a
large
surface,
surface
area,
you
know
I
can
do
a
huge
mural,
a
three-story,
mural
and
roughly
two
days.
You
know
where,
as
if
I
was
to
try
and
do
that
with
brushes,
it'd,
probably
take
me
two
months.
You
know
even
more
so
that's
why
I
use
the
medium,
and
so
it's
quite
messy
as
well
as
you
can
see.
B
B
A
B
A
B
Well,
basically,
I've
already
got
people
in
chanhassen
who
are
actively
seeking
who
a
big
who
have
been
actively
seeking
walls
and
stuff
loaded
I
was
going
to
be
doing
one
in
Minneapolis
as
well,
but
the
process
is
taken
a
lot
longer
than
we
were
kind
of
hoping
for.
So
we've
got
an
option
and
chin
hairs,
and
so
I'm
just
going
to
go
with
that
really
and
I
actually
painted
when
Prince
passed
away.
B
I
painted
a
portrait
tribute
portrait
of
him,
probably
the
same
size
as
Stephen
Adam
ones,
I
Adams,
when
I've
done
here,
I
painted
it
in
Sydney,
Australia
I
posted
a
photo
of
it
and
it
just
went
viral
just
like
their
ear
and
I
actually
had
people
from
Minneapolis.
Saying
you've
got
to
come
here
and
you've
got
to
come
here
and
paint
a
portrait
of
Prince.
This
is
his
hometown.
I'm
like
a
ok,
then
I.
C
B
B
Oh
yeah,
Muhammad,
Ali
I'm,
actually
I
really
want
to
paint
a
portrait
of
Muhammad
Ali
I
want
to
do
a
nice
like
fitting
appropriate
portrait.
Honoring
portrait
of
Muhammad,
Ali
and
Louisville
Kentucky
I've
never
been
there
before,
but
I
just
want
a
year.
I'll
probably
do
that
after
the
Prince
one,
but
my
main
obstacle
at
the
moment
is
I
need
to
secure
a
wall
there
to
be
out
of
paint.
B
So
if
the
power
is
out
there,
you
no
one
can
help
me
fight
and
find
insecure
a
wall,
because
it's
really
all
I
need
I
will
make
the
triptych
in
Kentucky,
Louisville
and
just
and
paint
that
portrait
really
because
I've
always
been
a
huge
fan
of
Muhammad
Ali
and,
on
my
background,
I
live.
Don't
kick
boxing
as
well.
So
he's
he's
Allegiant
yeah.
A
B
You
look
at
the
Bulls.
Are
they?
The
only
thing
that
can
stop
me
from
painting?
Is
rain
yeah,
as
the
wall
is
wheat,
I
I
have
to
stop.
You
I
can't
paint
you
if
it's
I
don't
mind
the
heat.
My
new,
this
OKC
heat
is
pretty
pretty
full-on,
but
you
reign
as
rain
as
the
enemy.
When
it
comes
see,
this
kind
of
thing
yeah
and.
A
B
So
well,
for
me,
art
is
all
about
visually
communicating
and
connecting
with
people
I
believe
as
an
artist
you've.
Just
gotta
stay
true
to
what
you
love,
if
you
try
and
if
you're
doing
art
purely
for
money's
sake
and
all
that
you
can
kind
of
lose
touch
of
the
essence
of
why
you
actually
do
it
on
the
face
and
I
believe
why
you've
actually
been
given
that
gift
you
know,
I.
B
I
use
my
art
in
several
ways.
One
of
the
main
ways
I
use
my
out
as
well.
I
actually
love
painting
the
word
hope
everywhere.
I
go
as
well.
I've
actually
been
through
depression
personally
myself
and
so
I
understand
all
the
dynamics
that
surround
it.
But
in
saying
that
I
also
understand
the
true
power
of
hope
and
what
they
can
do
to
a
person
is
very
powerful
and
so
yeah
you
know
I
can
art
is
very
powerful.
It
can
either
bring
healing
or
can
offend
people.
So
I
always
try
and
use
my
power
for
good.

A
Welcome
back
to
the
mayor's
magazine,
I
know:
you're
gonna
love
this
segment.
It's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
get
to
know
one
of
our
police
officers
in
Oklahoma
City,
it's
kyle
meili
and
he
is
the
Fraternal
Order
of
Police
Officer
of
the
month.
Welcome
to
the
mayor's
magazine.
Thank
you
for
having
me
I,
think
people
are
always
interested
in
and
what
sort
of
background
goes
into
a
person
who
seeks
a
career
in
law
enforcement.
So
where
did
you
grow
up?
Kyle
I.
F
Grew
up
in
a
little
town
called
waukomis
just
outside
of
Enid
I
graduated
high
school
with
25
people.
So
it's
not
as
not
a
big
bound
by
any
means,
but
I
think
a
lot
of
what
led
into
me
being
coming.
A
police
officer
was
my
dad's,
been
fire.
Chief
of
welcome
is
for
like
30
plus
years,
and
he
was
a
reserve
police
officer
2
on
the
five-person
police
department.
We
have
their
butt,
so
just
seeing
just
being
around
that
my
whole
life,
I
grew
up.
I
went
to
a
special
camp
for
that
law.
F
F
So
I
met
I
met
an
officer
on
the
department
when
I
went
on
a
mission
trip
to
Haiti
together
through
our
church
and
I
had
always
wanted
to
do
it,
but
I
had
a
hard
time
talking
my
wife
into
letting
me
join,
so
he
he
sat
down
with
her
and
kind
of
went
over
like
what
what
the
job
is
really
like.
Not
not
what
TV
leads
it
to
believe.
So,
after
that
she
was
on
board
with
it
and
then
I
applied
and
got
in
and
on
the
guinea
Academy
and
tell.
F
A
F
I
think
it's
it's
it's
eighty
percent,
you
learning
learning
the
job
learning
how
to
be
a
police
officer.
You
you
have
to
go
into
it
with
the
physical
aspect.
You
you,
you
know
what
you're
getting
into
when
you
get
when
you,
when
you
start
I
was
never
the
fastest
runner,
do
the
most
pushups
or
anything,
but
I
could
get
through
what
I
needed
to
get
through
right
and.
A
F
Service
has
always
been
a
part
of
my
life
growing
up,
I,
think
that's
just
something,
and
still
doing
by
my
parents
and
I
I
tried
to
there's
different
officers
that
that
do
this
job
differently
and
I
definitely
approach
it
from
a
service
aspect
of
where
we're
public
service
people.
So
that's
what
I
try
to
do
every
day
when
I
go
to
work,
police.
A
Officers
perform
a
wide
variety
of
duties,
everything
from
giving
directions
to
someone
who's
lost.
You
know,
potentially
you
know
having
to
chase
down
a
bad
person
who
might
have
criminal
intent,
which
of
the
roles
of
a
police
officer,
appealed
to
you
the
most.
What
are
you
most
drawn
to
and
where
do
you
like
to
just
spin
your
time?
Well,.
G
F
Mean
that's:
that's
always
going
to
be
fun,
but
I
mean
I.
I
became
a
police
officer
to
serve
the
people,
and
that's
where
I
like
to
to
do
my
work.
I
like
to,
if
I,
see
a
car
on
the
side
of
the
road
that
needs
a
tire
changed
I,
keep
a
a
four-way
and
a
floor
jack
and
then
back
of
my
car.
So
I
can
change
the
tire
in
less
than
10
minutes
and
get
them
on
their
way.
F
So
I
mean
I
like
I,
just
like
that
aspect
of
interacting
with
it,
with
the
community
and
and
just
a
couple
weeks
ago.
I
did
a
trucks
for
Tots
thing
for
an
infant
crisis
center,
where
I
just
SAT
there
for
four
hours
and
kids
are
climbing
all
over
inside
my
car
and
pushing
every
button
and
stuff
and
but
just
hanging
out
with
people
and
getting
to
talk
to
families
and
kids
and
stuff.
Like
that.
One.
A
F
The
babysitter
is
already
doing
CPR
and
trying
to
talk
on
the
phone
at
nine
eleven
same
time
so
I
take
over
for
her
I
start
CPR
and
I.
That's
pretty
much
my
only
duty
until
fire
names
to
get
their
findings
to
get
there
and
they
set
up
all
their
stuff.
They
get
to
going
to
doing
their
thing,
and
they
have
me
continue
to
do
my
job
because
I'm
I'm
already
in
position.
I'm
doing
it
so
I
sit
there
and
I
do
my
compressions
and
stuff,
and
they
relieve
me
and
I.
F
A
F
Yeah
they
they
reached
out
a
couple
days
later,
I
think
after
the
little
bit
of
the
grieving
got
over
with
and
and
they
wanted
to
meet
me,
because
all
all
the
only
interaction
I
had
with
him
was
dad
pulled
up
as
Shepherd.
The
little
boy
is
getting
loaded
in
the
back
of
the
ambulance
and
I
lead
him
to
go
with
the
ambulance.
That
was
the
only
interaction
I
had
with
him.
A
F
F
A
A
H
I
Hi
guys
I'm
Anna
standard
form
of
the
Oklahoma
City
Thunder.
We
here
today
in
animal
shelter
when
I
was
kidding.
Turkey,
no
I
haven't
a
lot
of
had
cast
a
lot
of
birds
and
fish,
but
I.
Never,
he
know.
I
had
a
dog
before
now.
I'm
like
thinking
about
adopting
an
animal,
please
getting
more
with
OKC
and
animal
welfare
and
get
involved
and
adopt
and
volunteer
like
I,
am.
A
A
J
A
J
Mom
she
inspired
me
about
three
years
ago.
I
wanted
to
do
an
annual
banquet
for
retired
schoolteachers
and
our
school
teachers
as
a
whole
and
I
approached
her
with
the
idea
and
we
brainstormed
on
it,
and
we
came
up
with
the
teachers
appreciation
foundation
which
not
only
honest
school
teachers.
We
are
the
custodians
school
bus
drivers,
cafeteria
workers,
nurse
aides.
Everyone
involved
in
the
school
system
is
people.
J
A
J
A
J
As
I
was
brainstorming
with
my
mom,
she
said
she
wanted
something
unique
about
the
foundation
because
she's
been
a
part
of
many
foundations,
and
so,
as
we
was
brainstorming,
we
incorporated
you
know
she
said
well.
When
was
the
last
time
you
heard
of
a
custodian
just
really
getting
those
accolades
singing
from
the
unsung
heroes.
So
I
was
like
yeah
mom.
Let's
do
that?
That's
that's
the
uniqueness
of
this
foundation.
So
that's
how
I
can
what.
A
J
A
A
Know
I
can
remember
a
sixth-grade
teacher
that
I
had
that
she
was
an
English
teacher
and
every
Thursday
we
had
do
an
assignment
of
five
sentences.
It
was
called
a
theme,
but
she
had
have
five
sentences
that
were
kind
of
you
know
about
some
subject
matter
and
it
may
sound
like
a
simple
assignment
for
an
adult,
but
when
you're
in
the
sixth
grade,
that's
a
that's
a
tough
assignments
it
during
my
five
sentences
and
I
can
remember.
She
did
not
allow
us
to
start
any
of
the
sentences
with
and
or
buts,
okay
and
so.
G
A
I'm
writing
these
sentences.
As
you
know,
as
a
twelve-year-old,
it
was
almost
impossible.
It
seemed
like
every
sentence
needed
to
start
with
an
der
button
and
it
restricted
me
and
forced
me
to
kind
of
come
up
with
other.
You
know
ways
to
start
a
sentence
and
to
have
a
subject
and
a
verb
and
I
can
remember-
and
you
know
being
anguished
over
this,
but
later
I
become
a
journalist,
and
you
know
I'm.

And
take
them
as
a
guest
and
show
up
and
show
appreciation
to
not
just
the
teachers
but
the
superintendents
and
the
people
that
you
know
helped
clean
the
building
and
people
that
have
served
as
bus
drivers
because
I
think
I
think.
It
really
is
important
to
remember
that
there
there's
a
lot
of
people
involved
in
education
and
it's.

and

director

Appreciation
foundation
is
a
big
event
coming
up

the
end
of
July

fund
this
organization
and
draw
positive
attention

our
local
educators
and

services

hope

help
him
out.
