Hello
there
and
welcome
once
again
to
the
mayor's
magazine,
I'm
mick
cornett,
the
mayor
of
oklahoma
city,
and
this
is
our
show
for
may
2015.
we're
so
glad
you
decided
to
join
us
today.
We
have
a
great
show
and
we're
going
to
start
in
this
first
segment
by
learning
more
about
allied
arts
and
all
the
events
coming
up
and
with
us.
We
have
the
president
and
ceo
of
allied
arts
deborah
mcauliffe
center,
deborah
welcome
back
to
the
mayor's
magazine
and
john
parsons
who's.
One
of
the
co-chairs
of
this
year's
fundraising
campaign.
A
John
welcome
back,
thank
you
mayor
and
we'll
mention
renzi
stone's
name
in
absentia,
because
renzai
is
your
co-chair,
but
couldn't
make
it
today
and
so
deborah's
filling
in
and
I'm
more
than
sure
that
she'll
do
a
really
good
job
in
renzei's
absence,
yeah,
all
right!
So,
let's,
let's
start
first
about
just
to
tell
people
more
about
allied
arts
deborah.
A
C
B
A
B
We
do
we
are
that
umbrella
organization,
for
so
many
arts
and
cultural
groups.
Last
year
we
helped
43
arts
and
cultural
groups
with
their
various
needs
and
then
we're
also.
We
have
acted
as
the
american
red
cross
of
these
groups
when
they
were
in
trouble
and
needed
help
if
they
had
fire
or
flood
or
whatever
they
may
have
encountered.
We
help
them
in
those
times
as
well
and.
A
A
D
But
so
many
other
companies
have
stepped
up
to
to
really
help
out
and
assist
us
and
we're
just
we're
reaching
out
to
more
and
more
donors,
increasing
the
donor
base
and
explaining
the
message
of
what
allied
arts
does
for
the
city.
You've
presided
over
one
of
the
most
amazing
renaissance
in
the
last
10
or
12
years
that
any
city
in
the
united
states
has
come
to
see.
We've
got
cities
like
louisville
kentucky
and
tulsa
oklahoma.
Looking
down
saying,
how
are
you
guys
doing
this?
D
So
much
of
that
is
is
through
the
arts
and
cultural
enhancements
that
gone
on
in
the
city
and
that's
exactly
what
allied
arts
does
is.
It
brings
art
enhancements
to
the
arts
and
cultural
organizations
throughout
the
city
which
helps
attract
businesses.
It
helps
attract
more
talented
employees.
It
helps
keep
our
talented
employees
right
here
in
oklahoma
city.
B
We
believe
everyone
can
help
if
you
think
just
the
price
of
a
normal
price
of
a
starbucks
coffee
would
be
five
dollars.
Five
dollars
can
provide
10
music
lessons
for
one
underprivileged
student.
So
if
people
could
go
without
a
starbucks
for
one
day,
they
could
provide
10
music
lessons
at
the
granville
school
of
music
over
at
oklahoma,
opry.
A
A
And
I,
the
correlation
I
use
is
that
you
know
we
all
knew
that
we
became
big
league
in
sports
when
the
thunder
arrived,
that
kind
of
validated-
or
you
could
say
when
the
hornets
arrived
a
couple
years
earlier,
but
either
point
that
was
some
sort
of
validation
with
the
arts.
There's
never
one
day
where
you
become
big
league,
but
it
happened.
I
mean
sometime.
I've
watched
it
here
in
the
last
12
years
or
so
just
to
grab
a
number
off
the
top
of
my
head.
D
B
Well,
even
on
our
national
scales,
where
we
are
compared
just
across
the
country,
oklahomans
have
always
been
in
the
top
three
in
in
terms
of
generosity
levels,
and
so
we
have
seen
definitely
a
number
of
individuals
who
have
increased
gifts
and
the
corporate
giving
has
grown
quite
a
bit
over
the
last
10
years.
All.
A
B
Certainly
through
our
website-
and
I
also
want
to
talk
about
our
secret
weapon
with
the
okay
city
card,
because
they
can
make
a
donation
of
50
and
received
this
great
card,
which
I
was
just
telling.
John
I've
used
four
times
just
in
the
last
couple
of
days
and
I've
been
able
to
save
so
much
money
at
various
retail
restaurants.
B
A
To
give
all
right,
john
thanks
so
much
for
giving
your
time
to
be
the
coach
here,
endeavor
great
job
as
always
running
this
wonderful
organization,
it's
allied
arts
and
they
do
so
much
to
make
our
community
as
good
as
it
is.
So
I
hope
you'll
give
generously
this
year,
we'll
have
more
on
the
mayor's
magazine
right
after
this.
C
It's
down
here
that
dog
has
a
thirsty
look
in
his
eye.
Did
you
know
that
it's
really
not
that
hard
to
save
water?
Excuse
me
spraying
me
on
the
streets
like
putting
me
down
the
drain
in
the
heat
of
the
day
I
disappear
before
I
can
help
so
water
after
bedtime,
hey
we're
in
a
drought,
which
means
I'm
kind
of
a
big
deal.
A
Welcome
back
to
the
mayor's
magazine
in
this
segment,
we'll
visit
with
tim
brassfield
who's,
the
executive
director
of
the
oklahoma
city,
all
sports
association
in
the
month
of
may
tim's,
a
busy
guy
because
he's
getting
ready
for
one
of
the
top
women's
events
in
the
world
and
that's
the
college
world
series.
So
thanks
for
coming
by
and
spending
some
time
with
us
absolutely
mayor,
thanks
for
having
us
yeah,
let's,
let's,
let's
kind
of
go
over
how
this
all
started.
A
E
A
E
E
It's
just
amazing
how
it's
grown
over
the
years.
I
I've
been
here
16
years
and
my
very
first
year
here
it
was
25,
000
and
change,
and
now
it's
over
75
every
year.
So
it's
a
fun
explosion.
It's
it's
become
an
amazing
kids
and
family
event.
Yeah.
We
we
kind
of
linked
it
to
a
a
kids,
softball
tournament
that
comes
into
the
city
as
well,
that
has
over
3000
teams
that
that
cycle
in
and
out
of
our
city.
A
A
It's
prime
time
and
almost
every
year
I
will
get
some
text
or
email
from
some
friend
in
some
far-off
place
and
they'll
say
you
won't
believe
it,
but
I'm
sitting
in
this
bar
or
restaurant
in
some
place,
thousands
of
miles
from
oklahoma
city
and
everyone
here
is
watching
this
softball
game
and
it
was
new
to
them.
They
didn't
they
were
they
weren't
actually
tucked
in,
but
they
they
were.
They
were
a
friend
of
mine
and
wanted
me
to
know
that
everybody
was
watching
in
this
particular
venue.
A
E
And
that's
probably
the
greatest
benefit
because
once
as
we
know,
once
someone
comes
into
our
community
for
any
event,
they
usually
come
back
or
they
often
come
back
and
that's
probably
perhaps
the
greatest
thing
about
the
women's
college
world
series:
it's
a
it's
a
12
to
14
million
economic
impact
event
that
happens
yearly
that
we
can
count
on
and
so
the
in.
As
far
as
tourism,
like
I
said
once,
those
people
come
in,
our
city
has
exploded
so
much
in
things
to
do
that.
E
A
Remember
we
went
through
a
time
when,
if
ou
or
osu
were
to
advance,
then
the
tournament
would
be
exciting
and
sold
out
and
then
at
some
point
oklahoma
made.
It
won
a
national
championship
in
2000,
as
I
recall,
and
that
was
kind
of
we
took
a
kind
of,
but
then
when
oklahoma
didn't
make
it.
It
didn't
seem
to
matter
at
the
gate.
Yeah
yeah
so
so.
Take
us
through
that
the
the
explosive
growth
of
this
is
not
just
a
local
event
anymore,
and
it
didn't
really
matter.
E
Definitely
not
I
too
remember
in
2001,
ou
won
it
and
the
berms
were
still
down
the
baselines
and
people
were
sitting
on
grass
and
somehow
I
think
they
were
fudged
a
little
bit.
Somehow
we
got
8
000
people
in
there
that
year.
I
don't
think
we
knew
how
many
people
were
in
the
stadium,
so
it
wasn't
long
after
that
in
2004.
E
I
believe
that
we
added
the
fixed
seeds
seeding
and
it
went
to
5
000
and
that's
when
we
began
to
bring
in
the
outfield
bleachers
and
an
additional
three
thousand
so
you're
right
it
and
it
doesn't
matter
the
first
time
ou
didn't
show
up.
I
thought
this
will
be
interesting,
but
certainly
it's
people
plan
for
their
vacation.
We
are
well
ahead
of
last
year's
pace.
We
are
essentially
we.
I
think
we
have
60
all
session
tickets
left
for
this
year's
event,
which
is
pretty
phenomenal.
A
E
Asa
and
and
the
city
of
oklahoma
city,
as
well
as
all
sports
and
the
ncaa,
saw
pretty
quickly
that
we
needed
to
do
something
we
need
to
address.
We
had
we
had
a
lot
of
needs
with
media
needs.
We
had
a
lot
of
need,
needs
with
parking,
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
but
first
and
foremost
they
wanted
to
address.
The
participant
needs
the
players,
and
so
that's
what
we've
done.
We
have
new.
D
E
Rooms
that
are
complete
this
year,
tunnels
that
exit
out
the
back
of
the
stadium
so
that
the
players
do
not
have
to
mingle
with
the
crowds,
not
that
they
don't
enjoy
that,
but
it
just
at
that
time.
It's
great
great
play
exit
point
for
them.
We
have
new
concession,
stands
that
will
be
completed,
and
then
we
also
have
a
huge
hospitality
area
that
that
will
help
our
ncaa
committee
have
a
place
to
to
land
and
to
park,
and
then
the
media
has
also
been
addressed.
So,
as
you
know,
it's
a
several
phase
deal.
E
Yeah
and
thanks
for
mentioning
that,
because
those
tickets
really
are
available
with
their
single
session
tickets,
it's
the
all
session
they're
available
60
left,
but
what
a?
What
a
just
a
view
of
partnering
with
people
around
one
street
in
one
area
in
the
adventure
district
and
the
way
remington
park,
we
couldn't
have
grown
the
event
without
their
help
without
the
science
museum,
without
the
fire
museum,
everybody
out
there
without
the
zoo
it
just
takes
a
village
so
to
speak,
certainly
takes
an
adventure
district
and
has
been
so
helpful.
E
A
A
The
if
game
definitely
necessary,
may
28th
with
a
with
a
best
of
three
championship
series
and
game.
Three
would
be
on
june
3rd,
that's
correct,
but
it
captivates
us
that
final
days
of
may
in
the
early
days
of
june.
I
hope
you'll
partake
this
year
and
if
you
can't
get
out
watch
it
on
espn,
it's
the
women's
world
series
so
so
well
hosted
by
tim
brassfield
and
the
all
sports
association
thanks
tim.
Thank
you
mayor
all
right
more
on
the
mayor's
magazine
after
this.
C
Buggies
off
you
buying
pesticides
each
year
can
add
up
bet
you
have
leftovers,
but
I
never
know
when
I
might
need
them.
So
many
something's
got
to
go.
I
know
it's
tough,
but
but
it's
just
not
safe
to
store,
so
many
chemicals
just
take
them
to
oklahoma
city's
household
hazardous
waste
collection
facility.
They'll.
Take
care
of
everything.
A
A
There's
a
special
reason
that
it's
important
for
to
get
out
and
see
lincoln
park
this
year
and
that's
because
a
brand
new
clubhouse
has
been
constructed
so
kind
of
take
people
through
the
timetable.
It's
been
a
couple
of
years
in
the
process
and
all
of
a
sudden
it
opened
in
march
and
now
as
people
come
out
and
play
golf
at
lincoln
in
the
spring
they're
going
to
see
an
incredible
new
facility.
Yes,.
F
A
50
years,
but
this
building
you
know,
brings
everything
up
to
date
and
I
think
it's
going
to
just
make
it
a
much
more
enjoyable
place
to
visit,
and
you
know
we
have
people
already
coming
out
there.
Just
to
have
lunch,
I
mean
they
may
not
even
be
golfers,
but
it's
just
such
an
inviting
public
facility.
F
Well
that
that's
the
the
one
aspect
of
the
of
a
golf
club
house
that
is
very
unique
with
this
facility
is
that
we
have
additional
spaces
that
are
available
for
other
things
other
than
just
golf.
As
you
mentioned
lunch,
we
have
a
lunch
crowd
from
the
northeast
part
of
oklahoma
city
that
love
to
come
over
and
enjoy
the
views,
enjoy
the
the
new
building
and
have
a
very
enjoyable
lunchtime,
atmosphere
for
them.
So
it's
been
been
very
well
accepted
so
far,.
F
Yes,
the
one
of
the
big
things
that
we
planned
for
was
tournament
operations
and
tournament
service,
so
that,
if
you
have
a
morning
group,
let's
say
they
want
to
do
a
shotgun
start
at
8
o'clock
in
the
morning.
We
can
feed
them
a
breakfast
in
in
the
banquet
room,
get
them
out
on
the
golf
course.
Let
them
have
an
enjoyable
day
of
golf,
come
back
in
for
a
lunch
and
do
the
scoring
and
all
the
tournament
and
awards
and
activities
in
that
same
facility
indoors,
climate-controlled,
great
atmosphere.
That's.
A
F
Well,
I
I
kind
of
speaking
from
my
viewpoint.
I
think
we
have
the
best
municipal
golf
course
system
in
the
country.
I
I
would
don't
think
there's
too
many
rivals
for
what
we've
accomplished
in
oklahoma
city.
We
have
lake
hefner
golf
course
out
on
the
northwest
side
of
town
off
a
northwest
highway
in
meridian
36
hole
facility,
and
then
we
also
have
a
par
3
facility
at
that
golf
course.
F
That
is
great
for
juniors
and
beginning
golfers,
and
then
we
have
a
massive
driving
range
at
that
facility,
also
that
that
is
busy
all
the
time
and
but
people
love
going
out
there
and
it's
close
to
where
a
lot
of
people
live,
and
it's
been
a
very
good
asset
to
the
city.
Then,
on
the
southwest
side
of
town
we
have
early
wine
golf
course,
and
early
wine
sits
down
on
119th
and
I-44,
so
easy
access
again.
F
36-Hole
golf
course
championship
quality,
all
the
way
and
nice
driving
range
practice
facilities
there.
So
it
services
the
southwest
part
of
town
and
people
from
all
over
the
all
over
the
city,
love
to
go
down
and
play
early
wine.
But
the
two
golf
courses
are
in
great
condition
and
are
a
lot
of
fun
to
play
and
on
the
southeast
side
of
town
we
have
trosper
golf
course.
It
is
an
18
hole
facility
and
trospur
is
a
championship.
Quality
golf
course
also,
we
have
a
clubhouse
was
renovated.
F
The
trosper
offers
great
opportunities
for
golf
tournaments
to
to
go
out
and
enjoy
themselves
and
have
a
good
time
to
meet
afterwards.
It
is
the
only
facility
we
have
that
has
an
outdoor
pavilion
like
that.
So
it's
a
little
unique
in
that
and
that
that
offers
a
service
that
even
I
can't
offer
as
far
as
something
like
that,
of
course,
lincoln
park
being
on
the
northeast
side
of
town.
F
F
F
F
A
Out
and
there's
value
as
well,
I
mean
green
fees-
are,
are
fairly
affordable,
you
know
not
free
but
affordable,
and
you
know
the
golf
system
has
been
a
real
asset
and
I
think
it's
one
of
the
the
best
selling
points
we
have
for
retirees
who
who
might
have
an
option
to
want
to
move
somewhere
to
some
golfing
community
somewhere.
Then
they
realize
the
value
of
the
golf
in
oklahoma
city
exactly
and
then
their
mind
starts
to
change
a
little
bit.
A

It's
down
here
that
dog
has
a
thirsty
look
in
his
eye.
Did
you
know
that
it's
really
not
that
hard
to
save
water
like
here
in
the
sink,
don't
make
me
run
too
much?
Could
somebody
shut
me
off
now?
This
is
my
kind
of
party,
a
full
house.
Let's
roll
hey
we're
in
a
drought,
which
means
I'm
kind
of
a
big
deal.
So
save
me
really
save
me.
A
Welcome
back
to
the
mayor's
magazine
in
this
final
segment,
we're
going
to
visit
with
a
local
author,
who,
you
probably
know
it's
mike
baldwin,
who
had
such
a
fine
career
as
a
sports
writer
with
the
oklahoman
and
he's
now
become
a
fiction
writer,
which
is
what
barry
switzer
always
said.
Sports
writers
were
he's,
become
a
fiction
writer
with
his
new
book
called
smashed
tater.
Congratulations
on
this
well.
G
I
appreciate
it.
I
wrote
one
22
years
ago
my
son
was
born.
Switzerland
got
the
cowboys
job,
they
moved
me
to
dallas.
I
got
on
those
beats
to
where
you're
just
swamped,
dallas
cowboys.
Oh
you,
osu
thunder,
and
you
didn't
have
right
time
to
write
novels
when
they
moved
me
to
the
triple-a
teams
with
less
travel,
which
was
the
redhawks
now
the
dodgers
and
then,
of
course,
the
barons.
I
said
I
got
more
time,
I'm
going
to
tinker
with
it
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
G
A
G
G
Me
develop
the
novel
thing
and
it
is
different
because
if
bob
stoops,
you
can't
assume
what's
in
his
head
my
characters,
I
can.
I
can
let
the
reader
know
what
they're
thinking
and
feeling.
So
it's
a
different
style
of
writing
took
a
little
while
to
do
that
and
present
the
facts
a
little
differently,
but
that's
what
makes
it
fun
too.
I've
dealt
with
facts
so
long.
It's
fun
to
deal
with
fiction.
A
G
Basically,
a
26
year
old,
big
paul
bunyan
type
guy
from
burlington
kansas
farm.
He
ends
up
being
like
the
seventh
picture
of
the
draft
two
years
he's
in
the
majors
he
plays
for
the
san
jose
piranhas.
They
play
teams
like
the
red
sox,
yankees
royals.
He
comes
to
play.
The
royals
goes
home
visit
the
farm,
the
reader
season
chapter
three
that
he's
murdered
his
female
sports
agent
think
jennifer
gardner
spends
the
rest
of
the
book
based
on
one
of
her
secretary's
dreams,
convinced
he's
murdered,
trying
to
figure
out
who
did
it?
A
G
That's
the
thing
I
think
I
like
about
it.
The
most
is
some
of
the
new
york
agents
said
sports
people
don't
read,
and
maybe
they
don't
as
much.
They
watch
espn
play
computer
games,
but
the
grandmas
and
housewives
who
didn't
like
sports.
I
had
12
hand-selected
readers,
they
loved
it
because
I
have
female
lead
characters
in
all
my
books,
but
pro
sports
backgrounds
and
their
mysteries.
So
they
loved
it
that
my
70
year
old
aunt's,
not
a
big
sports
fan
and
she
loved
it.
So
it's
a
whodunit
and
the
lead
characters
are
female.
G
G
Probably,
but
it's
bible
about
quality
sort
of,
like
christian,
did
that
do
you
want
teenagers
to
read
it?
It's
bible,
there's
christian
messages,
sprinkled
in
there
they're,
not
major,
but
like
the
farm,
wife,
his
mom
says
espn
400
reporters
are
in
town
to
cover
the
funeral.
They
miss
the
biggest
story
and
veronica
says
what
he's
with
jesus.
You
know
it's
stuff
like
that.
G
I'm
already
like
a
third
of
the
way
through
the
sequel
on
this
and
then
the
third
one
is
going
to
be
an
nfl
owner,
wins
the
super
bowl
and
two
weeks
later
him
and
his
security
guard
get
married.
I
mean
murdered
and
his
second
wife
teams,
up
with
the
security
guard's
nephew
from
watts
and
she's
thinking
about
running
for
governor
california,
and
so
I'm
going
to
have
a
lot
of
fun
with
different,
maybe
one
for
instead
pga
tour
have
somebody
on
that.
I
can
do
hockey.
I
can
do
nba.
