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
September
of
2017.
We're
gonna
start
with
an
interview
with
Gary
Coxe
Gary
Coxe
runs
the
Oklahoma
City
County
Board
of
Health
and
he's
coming
in
to
share
some
information,
that'll
I,
hope
kind
of
wrap
up
a
lot
of
questions
that
people
might
have
about
how
we
doing
because
we
know
is
the
state
Gary.
We
have
struggled
in
Oklahoma
City.
B
You
know
it's
been
right
there
with
them
throughout
the
year
and
I
know
you
bet
you
and
your
staff
have
been
working
really
hard
on
a
lot
of
the
key
indicators
of
public
health
and
and
I
think
we're
all
excited
too.
You
only
kind
of
find
out
how
far
the
city
has
come
and
if
we're
heading
in
the
right
direction.
Well,.
C
I
think
we've
made
great
progress
mayor
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
we
just
had
an
assessment
that
came
out
there
cover
the
years
2013
through
2015
that
three-year
period,
and
it
really
shows
some
some
remarkable
results,
and
so
this
is
really
the
whole
community
working
together.
It's
not
the
health
department
or
any
one
agency.
As
you
know,
the
problems
are
just
too
massive
for
one
one
group
just
to
make
the
difference,
but
everybody
working
together.
C
So
it's
been
the
hospitals
and
it's
been
the
things
that
you've
been
doing
and
talking
about
about
the
culture
of
health
and
the
importance
of
health
in
our
community.
It's
been
about
community-based
organizations
and
many
many
the
school
system
and
many
many
others
working
together
to
improve
health.
So
we've
had
great
results.
Let's.
B
Start
back
at
the
beginning,
so
as
a
public
health
professional,
you
enter
this
scene
in
2013
and
you're
thinking.
Okay,
where
do
we
start?
Because
there
are
so
many
different
health
statistics
out
there
you
could
gravitate
toward,
and
so
how
did
you
address
it
when
you
started
looking
at
the
broad
number
of
health
statistics
and
health
outcomes?
Well,.
C
The
way
we
looked
at
it
is,
you
know:
what's
killing
people
what's
making
them
sick
and
that's
cardiovascular
disease
or
heart
disease,
and
so
that's
the
biggest
killer,
and
so
that's
where
we
started
our.
So
we
really
started
back
in
evenin
before
those
years
and
in
doing
trying
to
identify
a
high-risk
group
that
we're
at
risk
for
heart
disease
in
heart
deaths,
and
so
we
continued
and
started
a
program
called
my
heart
and
we
partnered,
and
so
we
have
the
medicine
we
have
the
medical
part
of
it.
C
We
have
the
public
health
part
two,
which
is
the
wellness
classes,
the
smoking
cessation.
You
know
trying
to
work
on
losing
weight.
That's
one
of
the
goals,
get
get
the
people
on
blood-pressure
medicine
that
they
need
it
on
cholesterol-lowering
drugs.
If
those
are
needed,
it's
been
very
successful.
Currently
we
have
over
200
people
in
high-risk
folks
that
are
enrolled
in
that
program.
Currently,
and
so
now
we
started
in
northeast
section
of
Oklahoma
City
and
now
we've
spread
that
effort
to
two
more
areas
in
the
county
and
it's
shown
great
results
and.
C
We
started
out
and
when
we
did
our
first
assessment,
this
is
our
third
assessment.
When
we
did
our
first
assessment,
it
showed
that
zip
code,
seven
three
one
one
one
was
the
most
challenged,
and
so
we
poured
a
lot
of
resources
into
that
area
and
with
the
cardiovascular
disease
prevention
there's
one
area
that
we
did
that
in
as.
D
C
Know
we
also
put
the
Northeast
health
and
wellness
regional
campus
there
and
we've
had
36,000
people
that
went
through
that
Center
in
2016,
and
so
it's
not
just
the
services
we
provide,
but
we
have
öyou
physicians
there.
We
have
the
YWCA,
the
Food
Bank
and
many
many
other
partners
that
are
bringing
a
lot
of
resources
to
an
underserved
area.
I
think
all
those
things
make
a
difference.
Well,.
B
When
you
look
at
an
underserved
area,
it
goes,
you
know.
Well,
beyond
the
outcomes
you
have.
Sometimes
you
know
not
great
access
to
healthy
foods.
So,
if
you're
wanting
to
improve
nutrition,
it's
not
as
easy
as
it
might
be.
For
someone
who
lives
in
a
different
zip
code,
they
may
not
also
have
the
built
environment
that's
conducive,
in
other
words,
are
there
sidewalks
where
they
could
walk
to
a
park
if
they,
if
that
was
something
they
wanted
to
do,
and
you
mentioned
the
schools.
B
You
know
the
schools
play
an
important
part
of
the
overall
health
of
a
community
because
that's
where
the
kids
are
likely
to
get
breakfast
and
lunch
and
and
get
most
of
the
nutritional
information
that
they're
going
to
receive.
So
how
did
you
tackle
if
some
of
those
kind
of
built-in
disadvantages
well.
C
You're
exactly
right,
a
lot
of
this
is
about
access.
You
know:
are
there?
Do
you
have
access
to
sidewalks
so
that
you
can
walk
parks?
Do
you
have
access
to
biking
trails
and
you
have
access
to
community
gardens
for
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables
and
things
of
that
nature?
So,
on
our
northeast
campus,
we
actually
have
a
community
garden,
and
so
you
know
different
classrooms.
C
Schools
individuals
can
come
in
and
grow
their
own
fresh
vegetables,
and
so
we
also
partner
with
the
Food
Bank
and
so
they're
out
there
periodically
and
they
have
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables
available
as
well.
So
those
are
those
are
key
things
we
also
and
what
what
you've
done
and
the
community
has
done
with
the
maps
program
is
this.
C
B
C
Absolutely
true,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
we
started
back
during
this
period
of
time
before
this.
This
latest
assessment,
we
started
a
great
partnership
with
Oklahoma
City,
Public
Schools,
and
we
went
to
14
high
risk
schools
and
we
put
in
programs
there
that
address
the
whole
child,
the
whole
family
and
the
whole
community
and
the
whole
school,
and
so
it
it
was
very
helpful
and
very
it
provided
a
lot
of
services
and
a
lot
of
I
guess
a
lot
of
services
to
folks
that
really
did
make
a
difference
in
our
schools,
and
you
get
more.
C
As
you
know,
you
get
more,
you
get
more
results
if
you
start
younger
with
the
with
the
children
that
we
have
and
I
know
that
you
know
the
and
it's
something
that
you
preach,
but
it's
so
important.
It's
if
we
want
to
have
a
vibrant
and
healthy
city
or
a
healthy
state.
It's
important
to
prioritize
health
and
wellness
and
education
and
show
the
linkage
between
health
and
education
and
wellness
and
the
economy
and
jobs.
C
C
Bet
well,
I
mean
it's
great
news.
So
during
this
period
of
time
we
had
all
deaths
declined
by
over
4%,
so
I
mean
in
a
three-year
period
of
time.
That's
remarkable.
It's
really
remarkable
that
the
community
is
working
together.
Heart
disease
deaths
down
by
over
five
percent,
and
this
is
a
really
big
one.
Stroke.
Mortality
is
down
14%
I.
Think
the
my
heart
initiative,
working
with
high
risk
folks
I,
think
that
had
a
impact
on
that
the
hospitals
are
doing
a
lot
of
work
on
stroke,
prevention
and
treatment.
C
I
think
that
all
plays
in
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
people
coming
together.
Cancer.
All
cancer
deaths
are
down
7%
in
a
three
year
period
of
time,
and
prostate
cancer,
for
example,
is
down
almost
10%.
Breast
cancer
deaths
are
down
almost
9%,
and
so
you
know
even
suicides,
which
we
really
been
worried
about
was
down
over
six-and-a-half
percent
during
that
period
of
time
now,.
B
C
As
you
as
you
know,
that
the
health
and
Oklahoma
in
general
is
not
good
compared
to
the
rest
of
the
United
States,
but
I
think
we're
catching
up
here.
I
think
we're
really
making
big
gains.
You
know
our
smoking
rates
are
getting
better
and
they're
still
high,
but
they're
getting
a
lot
better
and
so
I
think
I
think
we
are
really
poised
to
really
make
some
big
games
here
in
Oklahoma
City
in
Oklahoma
County.
C
C
You
know
the
campus
is
northeast
63rd
and
the
MLK
just
east
of
MLK
at
this
north
of
Remington
Park,
and
it
offers
all
kinds
of
services.
You
know
we
have
all
of
the
public
health
services,
we
do
the
immunizations
and
TB
and
the
WIC
services,
women,
infants
and
children
services,
all
of
the
wellness
classes
and
all
of
the
things
that
we
offer
and
then
we
have
öyou
physicians.
C
So
they
do
primary
care
for
range
of
primary
care
and
and
then
we
also
have
folks
like
the
Food,
Bank
and
and
others
that
are
providing
the
YWCA
Latino
community
development
agency
has
a
presence
there
or
I'll
provide
them
services
there
as
well.
We
have
the
walking
trails,
the
community
gardens
exercise
stations,
we
partner
with
the
energy.
We
have
two
two
professional
soccer
fields:
there
they
do
kids
camps
there
all
the
time.
C
What's
what's
offered
there
at
the
campus
that
they
might
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
as
well,
and
so
there
a
lot
of
people
go
through
their
service,
36,000
plus
we've
just
broken
ground
and
in
Southern
Oaks
and
South
Oklahoma
City,
and
that
campus
will
be
ready
in
about
12
months
and
then
the
last
piece
of
that
would
be
we're
looking
forward
to
having
the
presence
in
northwest
Oklahoma
City
and
that's
on
the
drawing
boards.
Now.
C
B
C
We
are
affected
by
that,
for
example,
we
are
losing
our
last
year
of
funding
on
our
teen
pregnancy
prevention
program,
which
has
shown
great
success
matter
of
fact.
This
report
shows
a
reduction
of
22
percent
reduction
in
teen
in
teen
pregnancies
and,
of
course,
the
why
this
is
important
is
because
there's
two
things
that
almost
assuredly
will
happen.
If
a
young
woman
gets
pregnant
in
their
teens
number
one,
the
child
will
probably
be
born
in
poverty
and
number
two.
C
B
C
I,
you
know
I
would
say
if
you
want
to
go
online
and
look
at
this
report,
it's
the
the
Wellness
score
and
it's
got
a
lot
of
information
in
it,
and
so
like
community
groups.
If
they
want
to
write
grants
or
they
need
information,
you
can
find
a
wealth
of
information
there.
So
that's
on
our
website
and
then
also
we
have,
as
you
know,
the
Wellness
now
coalition,
that's
very
active
that
actually,
you
started
and
Commissioner
Ravon
started
in
April
of
2010.
It
started
with
just
a
handful
of
partners.
C
Now
it's
up
to
over
350
partners
that
are
working
together.
Eight
different
work
groups
that
are
working
and
they
meet
every
month
and
they
don't
just
meet
to
meet.
They
actually
have
goals
and
they
pull
in
community
partners
to
help
meet
those
goals
and
so
they're
a
big
part
in
the
success
that
we're
having
alright.
B
C
B
E
That
dog
has
a
thirsty
looking
as
I
did
you
know
that
it's
really
not
that
hard
to
save
water.
Excuse
me
find
me
on
the
streets
like
down
the
drain
and
they
keep
it
a
day.
I
disappear
before
I
can
help.
So
what,
after
a
bedtime,
hey
we're
in
a
drought
which
means
I'm
kind
of
a
big
deal,
so
save
me
really
save
me.
B
Welcome
back
to
the
mayor's
magazine
in
this
segment,
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
arts
and
its
economic
impact
and
how
we're
doing
in
Central,
Oklahoma
and
statewide
about
delivering
the
arts
to
the
people
who
live
here.
Julia
Curt
is
the
director
of
Oklahomans
for
the
arts,
and
she
is
here
with
Kelsey
Carper
who's.
The
project
manager
to
the
arts
and
economic
prosperity
report
welcome
to
the
mayor's
magazine.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
B
And
I
think
that
the
case
for
arts
is
an
economic
tool,
is
getting
stronger
and
stronger
and
so
which
of
you.
Two
could
probably
speak
to
that
when
some
people
think
of
the
arts
and
then
they
think
of
jobs
and
the
economics
it's
way
over
here,
and
they
don't
know
that.
There's
a
lot
of
connections
between
the
two
yeah.
G
Actually,
in
this
report,
we
also
looked
at
the
recent
study
from
the
National
League
of
Cities,
which
identified
kind
of
the
top
issues
that
city
leaders
were
facing,
and
economic
development,
of
course
was
number
one
and
they
identified
five
key
subject
areas
within
that
with
arts
and
culture
being
one
of
those
five
areas,
including
you
know,
Downtown,
Development
and
jobs,
and
that
kind
of
thing.
But
arts
and
culture
was
one
of
those
key
areas
for
economic
development.
So
it
it
really
is
being
recognized
quite
widely,
now
I
think
as
a
tool.
How.
B
F
I
think
what
we've
seen
in
Oklahoma
City
is
a
really
good
example
of
that
are
commercial
districts
that
are
special,
unique
spaces,
like
your
plaza
district,
your
Capitol
Hill
they've
built
around
that
unique
identity,
attracting
artists,
attracting
cultural
events,
and
it
makes
people
feel
more
pride
in
that
area.
Vacancy
rates
go
down,
activity
and
economic
activity
go
up.
Business
starts.
I
know
that
all
those
districts
track.
Amazing
amounts
of
business
starts.
It's
really
good
for
the
city,
yeah.
B
And-
and
here
we
are
looking
back
some-
you
know
between
five
and
ten
years
and
seeing
that
this
type
of
regrowth
is
amazing
to
see
it
come
back
that
quickly,
at
least
amazing
to
me,
but
what
you
had
in
the
Plaza
district,
that
not
every
area
has
first
of
all,
yes
in
great
architecture
to
start
with
and
I
always
think,
architecture
helps.
You
know
if
you
go
into
an
area
that
that
you
know,
has
a
few
abandoned
strip
malls
and
you're
trying
to
see.
B
F
I
think
it's
the
idea
of
like
artists
as
pioneers
you
know
he
was
willing
to
be
a
pioneer
in
area.
There
have
been
abandoned
by
a
lot
of
people
and
decided
to
be
a
home
owner
and
really
cared
about
his
neighborhood
and
talked
about
it
with
passion
and
fervor.
You
know,
but
then
I
think
Plaza
is
great,
because
it's
public
and
private
investment
that
have
turned
it
around.
So,
like
the
city
invested
in
those
commercial
districts
and
they've,
seen
huge
results.
E
B
Now
and
and
of
course,
the
city's
played
a
role
in
with
streetscape
projects
and
efforts
on
abandoned
housing
to
try
and
get
owners
to
to
do
the
do
the
right
things,
and
now
we're
even
seeing
outside
investors
going
in
there
and
buying
up
homes.
People
from
out
of
the
state
that
are
just
looking
for
turnaround,
properties
and
so
I
mean
that's.
That's
amazing,
for
you
know.
B
That
can
they
can
invest
their
money
anywhere
in
the
world
and
they
choose
a
a
former.
You
know,
decaying
part
of
Oklahoma
City
is
that's
where
I
want
to
put
money,
mm-hmm
and
and
I
and
I.
Think
there's
there's
a
lot
of
variables
in
that,
but
it
is
something
that
the
community
should
find
is
a
success
story
and
the
result
of
a
lot
of
things
well,.
F
I
think
many
people
would
cite
the
arts
as
key
in
that
you
know
attracting
artists,
the
early
artists
who
started
their
businesses
there,
despite
it,
maybe
not
being
the
best
business
model
at
the
time.
You
know
there
weren't
a
lot
of
retailers
in
the
plaza
when
a
lot
of
those
businesses
started,
but
artists
were
ambitious
and
kind
of
as
entrepreneurs,
and
then
you've
got
those
nonprofits
that
are
anchoring
and
bringing
in
I
mean
you've
got
audiences
for
lyric
coming
and
spending
their
money.
You've
got
those
classes.
B
G
One
thing
related
to
what
you
were
just
saying:
that
I
think
those
of
us
who
work
in
the
arts
kind
of
know
intuitively,
but
this
report
really
proves
is
that
you
know
one
thing:
that's
kind
of
unique
about
the
arts
and
culture
sector
is
that
it
does
attract
a
huge
number
of
people
in
the
form
of
audiences.
You
know
audiences
are
key
to
arts
and
culture.
G
You
know
delivering
their
programs
and
that
those
people
go
to
arts
events,
but
that
they
also
spend
money
in
relation
to
attending
that
event
beyond
well,
beyond
just
the
cost
of
admission
of
buying
a
ticket-
and
you
know
we
found
that
in
greater
Oklahoma
City
that
audiences
were
spending
around
$40
per
person
whenever
they
attend
an
event.
You
know
and
that's
on
going
out
to
eat
transportation,
souvenirs
that
kind
of
thing,
but
if
there's
someone
who's
coming
from
out
of
town
to
attend
an
event,
they're,
actually
spending
almost
3
times
as
much.
G
F
One
of
the
biggest
changes
we
found
from
the
last
study
we
did
was
in
audiences
I
think
our
arts
and
culture
groups
are
really
sophisticated
in
their
marketing
now
and
they're,
attracting
people
from
the
outside.
So
on
our
statewide
study,
we
had
12%
of
visitor
came
from
outside
the
state,
so
they're
coming
in
with
their
money
into
the
state,
and
then
it
was
much
higher
in
the
Central
Oklahoma
region.
So
those
we
had
more
than
twelve
point.
Seven
million
visits
recorded
in
that
one
year
time
span.
A
H
You
know
the
arts
make
a
significant
impact
on
education,
the
economy
and
our
quality
of
life
in
Oklahoma,
providing
more
than
ten
thousand
jobs,
statewide
filtering
more
than
three
hundred
and
fourteen
million
dollars
into
our
economy.
Yes,
the
arts
create
all
kinds
of
beautiful
things:
I'm
making
Oklahoma
an
even
better
place
to
live
is
the
most
beautiful
thing
of
all.
It
doesn't
take
a
big
donation
to
make
big
things
happen,
support
allied
arts
today,
a
little
give
is
all
it
takes.

Eleven
out
of
this
late
night
route
is
really
a
stress
reliever.
For
me,
our
choice
is
on
where
to
live,
work,
learn
meet
and
play
grow
with
the
connections
we
create
and
with
strong
connections,
come
economic
opportunities
and
vibrant
communities
where
public
transit

grows

your
journey

A
B
J
Very
interesting
to
hear
your
economic
discussion
earlier,
because
we
are
bringing
a
huge
economic
impact
to
Oklahoma
City.
Doctor
obscura
is
at
the
base
a
group
of
people
who
will
be
bringing
a
huge
immersive
art
experience
to
Oklahoma
City
I,
don't
want
to
say
it's
like
what
you've
seen
in
other
cities,
but
I
will
say
that
we
were
inspired
by
what
we
have
seen
at
City
Museum
in
st.
Louis
and
by
Mia
wolf
in
Santa
Fe.
J
If
those
are
familiar
projects
to
you
and
so
we're
looking
at
bringing
a
really
huge
project
to
the
city
that
will
impact
the
way
artists
are
valued
and
paid
and
we'll
hopefully
have
a
big
impact
on
development
in
a
new
district
that
we
expect
to
rise,
but
we're
starting
at
current
studio
with
Kelsey
and
Romi
and
in
our
temporary,
exhibit
called
shift.
Alright.
G
So
we
wanted
to
create
something
slightly
different,
and
so
we've
been
doing
that
since
early
2016
and
then
whenever
we
found
out
what
factory
obscura
was
planning,
we
decided
to
kind
of
incubate
this
idea
within
our
space,
so
we
invited
factory
obscura
to
be
our
artist
in
residence
for
the
Fall
and
in
fact
it's
happening
right
now.
The
installation
is
under
construction
and
we're
in
the
process
of
building
this
fully
immersive
artistic
environment.
That
people
will
be
invited
to
engage
with
and
interact
with,
and
you
know
really
develop
their
sense
of
play.
B
G
So
we're
really
working
towards
creating
something
that
is
a
little
different
than
your
tip
art
experience,
where
maybe
you
go
into
a
gallery
museum
and
look
at
something
hanging
on
the
wall,
which
is
a
relatively
passive
experience,
but
what
we're
creating
is
something
that
you'll
be
invited
to.
Actually,
you
know
climb
through
some
things
or
crawl
through
some
things,
or
you
know,
interact
with
some
things
and
that
might
actually
cause
an
effect
or
a
change
within
the
space.
G
Yeah
a
lot
of
people
when
we
describe
it
think
of
it
as
a
children's
museum,
but
it's
really
not
geared
specifically
towards
children.
It's
really
for
people
of
all
ages,
which
is
something
that
makes
it
a
little
different.
I.
Think
that
a
lot
of
other
things
people
have
experienced,
because
it's
not
just
for
kids,
it's
also
for
adults,
and
we
think
it's
really
valuable-
that
adults
have
these
kinds.
B
G
One
thing
that
we
recognize
is
that
people
are
more
and
more
interested
in
experiences
versus
things
right
and
so
we're
really
trying
to
create
an
experience
for
people
to
engage
with
art
in
a
really
new
way.
But
beyond
that,
it's
the
bigger
picture
is
really
creating
a
new
kind
of
structure
for
how
art
is
created
and
presented
and
how
artists
can
be
supported
and
paid
for
the
work
that
they
do.
So.
The
model
that
we're
following
as
Laura
said,
is
very
much
inspired
by
me.
I'll
wolf
in
Santa
Fe.
G
That's
had
a
lot
of
success
financially,
since
they
opened
in
early
2016
and
has
really
become
a
big
driver
of
tourism
for
Santa
Fe,
which
is
already
a
great
tourist
town,
but
has
brought
a
whole
new
element
and
a
new
audience.
That's
coming
to
see
this
one
thing
specifically,
so
we
think
we
see
that
potential
here
not
only
to
create
a
tourist
destination,
but
also
to
create
a
new
way
of
supporting
artists
in
Oklahoma,
City
and.
J
J
Is
a
this
is
a
for-profit
business.
We
are
a
B
Corp,
so
we
are
for
what
we
are
we're
a
corporation.
That
is
a
public
benefit.
We
exist
to
benefit
the
public,
so
we
have
a
social
benefit
side.
We
will
also
be
profitable
and
repay
our
investors,
and
then
we
will
support
our
own
foundation
that
will
do
work
with
education
and
with
kids.
We
want
to
get
mentoring
programs
going
internships
and
have
a
big
impact
also
on
kids,
education
and
on
their
creativity
are.
J
G
Right,
we've
already
assembled
our
team
of
artists
that
have
been
meeting
for
months,
in
fact,
since
the
spring
to
come
up
with
the
whole
concept
for
the
installation
and
now
doing
the
physical
work
of
actually
building
it.
So
we
have
a
team
already
in
place
for
shift
which
opens
in
November,
but
beyond
that
we
even
before
we
get
to
the
permanent
location.
That's
in
the
future.
We
are
planning
some
interim
installations
that
will
hopefully
grow
kind
of
in
scale
each
time
we
do
something.
B
G
B
B
Becoming
a
richer
community
because
of
their
work
and
a
lot
of
other
people,
I
hope
you'll
enjoy
that
exhibit
which
shows
up
Thursday
November
9
on
November
9th
at
the
current
studio,
hope
you've
also
enjoyed
this
show
it's
the
mayor's
magazine,
we'll
be
back
next
month.
With
another
episode,
see
you
then.
