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
september
2016..
Thank
you
for
joining
us
in
this
first
segment.
I
think
you're
really
going
to
enjoy
meeting
two
people
who
are
working
on
the
oklahoma
city,
dream
center
chase
parsons.
The
external
relations
director
and
pastor
deborah
burke,
are
with
us
on
the
mayor's
magazine,
hello
and
welcome.
Thank.

And
then
also
our
community
resource
center
helps
people,
whether
that's
helping
figure
out
how
to
interview
for
jobs
or
complete
their
geds
or
even
even
sign
a
oh,
an
application
and
then
go
through
that
and
help
them
just
basically
instead
of
constantly,
because
we
don't,
we
don't
like
to
just
give
handouts,
we
like
to
give
hand-ups
and
basically
go
where,
where
do
you
want
to
go
from
here
like
we
don't
want
this
to
be
this,
you
know
the
stopping
point.
This
is
just
the
beginning.
C
B
I
am
my
husband
and
I
were
in
youth
ministry
and
in
2002
we
got
offered
a
home
missions
position
at
inner
city
assembly
of
god
and
we
came
there
and
it
at
that
point.
It
was
just
a
children's
ministry
and
we
did
the
children's
ministry
for
about
a
year
with
tutoring
and
mentoring,
but
we
realize
that
we're
ministering
to
those
these
kids,
but
yet
they're
going
back
home
and
they're
in
the
same
situations.
They
were.
B
You
know
when
they
came
to
us,
so
we
started
a
full
church
in
father's
day
of
2003
and
my
husband
was
the
pastor
and
we
had
a
meal
after
every
sunday
service
and
started
the
food
pantry
in
a
small
clothing
closet
and
in
2006
my
husband
was
diagnosed
with
a
brain
tumor
and
passed
away
just
seven
days
after
that-
and
I
really
felt
like
you
know.
That
was
my
place
too,
that
I
had
a
position
there
that
god
had
brought
me
there.
So
I
went
back
and
got
ordained
and
became
the
senior
pastor
in
2008.
B
We
were
gifted
by
david,
green
of
hobby
lobby
with
a
newer
facility.
We
were
outgrowing
the
facility
we
were
in,
and
so
we
moved
to
the
old
grace
assembly
of
god,
building
on
southwest
55th,
and
with
that
then
we
networked
with
the
dream,
center
and
kind
of
joined
forces
and
have
been
growing
ever
since
the
one
one
of
the
burden
I
have
is
the
preventative.
B
If
we
can
get
kids
before
they
hit
the
streets
and
they're
embraced
by
you
know,
gangs
or
other
things.
If
we
can
give
them
godly
mentors
and
mentors
to
pour
into
them,
then
possibly
we
can.
We
can
stop
the
cycle
of
poverty,
we
can
help
them
get,
you
know,
do
excel
at
school.
We
can
help
them
achieve
their
dreams
and
go
on
to
college
or
trade
school
and
and
start
giving
back
instead
of.
A
C
We
do
a
lot
it's.
It
started
with
a
few
of
the
local
local
churches
that
are
really
close
to
us,
or
that
are
close
to
us
personally,
that
we
either
have
friends
or
you
know,
people
that
we've
known
along
the
way
and
then
also
over
the
last
few
years.
It's
it's
grown.
We've
grown
from
churches,
some
small
businesses
come
alongside
us
and
partner
for
different
events
and
everything,
and
so
it
it's
mostly
it's
mostly
by
donations.
Now
we're
reaching
out.
A
B
B
Dhs
was
getting
ready
to
come
and
remove
the
kids
from
the
home
rightfully
so
the
kids
were
part
of
our
mentoring
and
our
wrestling
program
and
we
were
able
to
find
a
family
that
would
say
you
go
for
a
year
and
get
help
with
teen
challenge
of
oklahoma.
The
the
woman
went
to
the
freedom
house
and
the
man
went
to
the
facility,
that's
actually
on
our
property,
teen
challenge
okc
and
this
family
said
we'll.
B
Take
your
three
kids
in
and
we'll
take
care
of
them
for
the
year
that
it
takes
to
complete
the
program,
and
so
we
were
able
to
network
that
they,
the
kids,
went
to
live
with
this
family,
both
parents
completed
and
graduated
in
december
from
teen
challenge
at
the
same
night,
the
same
day
they
graduated
and
that
family
has
been
restored.
I
had
the
privilege
a
week
later
to
perform
the
wedding
ceremony
for
them
to
get
married.
B
C
C
It
was
for
a
long
time
there,
but
that's
that's
where
we're
based
out
of
and
really
that
whole
area,
whether
it's
the
apartment,
complexes,
country,
club,
hillcrest
and
even
even
through
our
adopt-a-block
program,
like
even
the
neighborhood
north
of
us
and
and
we're
even
looking
to
a
couple
apartment,
big
apartment
complexes,
south
of
us
that
there's
been
some
shootings
and
stuff
and
everything
around
there
like.
We
just
really
want
to
infiltrate
that
with
with
hope
and
and
work
around
there.
A
Chase,
parsons
and
pastor
deborah
burke
are
with
the
oklahoma
city
dream
center
thanks.
So
much
for
what
you're
doing-
and
I
know
that
one
example
is
a
wonderful
story,
but
I
know
there
are
others
and
that
are
being
impacted
by
the
the
positive
influence
you
guys
are
playing.
So
thank
you
for
your
work.
D
Coach
switzer
here
to
help
you
put
the
blitz
on
mosquito-borne
diseases.
This
is
something
my
family
knows
a
lot
about.
My
son
doug
got
west
nile
virus
and
it's
not
easy
to
beat
here's.

E
It's
down
here
that
dog

a
thirsty

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.
G
A
Welcome
back
to
the
mayor's
magazine,
you
can
probably
see
the
plants
here
in
front
of
me,
but
believe
it
or
not
we're
going
to
be
talking
to
a
couple
of
our
employees
out
at
the
oklahoma
city,
zoo
and
they're,
going
to
relate
the
story
of
why
these
plants
are
important
to
one
of
the
zoo's.
Many
many
missions
closest
to
me
is
rebecca
snyder
she's,
a
phd,
a
curator
of
conservation
and
science,
and
then
candace
reynolds
is
marketing
and
pr
manager
at
the
zoo.
Welcome
to
both
of
you.
A
I
Well,
I
always
loved
animals,
I'm
sure
from
growing
up
on
a
farm,
and
I
was
very
interested
in
animal
behavior.
So
that's
what
I
studied
for
my
masters
and
phd
and
prior
to
this
I
worked
at
the
atlanta
zoo
for
many
years
and
my
advisor
in
graduate
school
was
the
director
of
the
zoo.
So
I
worked
at
that
zoo.
G
C
H
A
All
right
in
fall
in
oklahoma,
a
lot
of
people
know
that
there's
a
butterfly
migration
that
takes
place
and
the
zoo
is
very
interested
in
that
and
rebecca
you've
brought
some
plants
here
and
that
kind
of
ties
in
so
take
it.
Take
it
from
there.
Why
are
these
plants
here
and
what
do
they
mean
to
the
to
the
butterfly
okay.
I
So
oklahoma
is
really
important
for
monarchs
when
they
migrate
north
in
the
spring
and
when
they
migrate
south
to
mexico
in
the
fall
and
one
of
the
things
that
all
oklahomans
can
do
is
plant
plants
for
them
in
their
yard.
So
that's
one
way
that
we
can
address
the
habitat
loss
issue
and
there's
lots
of
folks
doing
that
and
lots
of
the
city
parks
are
involved
and
the
zoo
has
a
big
butterfly
garden.
But
this
is
something
each
individual
person
can
do.
I
Okay,
so
the
most
important
thing
for
monarchs
is
you
have
to
have
the
plant
that
the
caterpillars
like
to
eat,
and
this
is
a
butterfly
milkweed,
so
there's
several
species
of
milkweed
that
are
native
to
oklahoma.
This
is
one
of
them,
it's
a
perennial,
so
you
plant
it
once
and
get
it
going.
It'll
come
back
every
year.
I
So
they
need
that
nectar
in
the
spring
and
they
need
it
in
the
fall
for
that
migration,
and
so
these
are
some
common
species
you
can
find
here
in
oklahoma.
This
is
black
eyed
susan,
it's
a
perennial,
really
popular
here,
a
beautiful
plant.
This
is
purple
cone
flower,
also
a
perennial,
a
nice
native
plant
for
oklahoma,
monarchs
love
these
and
so
do
other
butterflies
and
all
kinds
of
pollinators.
I
So
these
are
great
nectar
producing
plants,
and
then
these
two
in
the
front
are
ones
that
are
really
easy
to
find
in
your
local
nursery
they're,
not
native
but
they're,
still
great
plants,
they're
annuals.
So
this
is
a
zinnia
and
pentas
and
you
can
find
these
in
almost
any
nursery
and
they,
the
butterflies,
will
be
happy
to
take
nectar
from
those
as
well.
A
I
D
D
I
In
something
called
monarch
watch,
which
is
a
program,
run
out
of
a
university
in
kansas
and
you
can
order
tags
from
them
and
then
you
catch
the
monarchs
and
put
them
on
the
wing,
and
we
do
that
in
the
fall
at
the
zoo,
we'll
be
doing
it,
this
fall
and
then
the
tags
are
recovered
by
teams
and
then
that's
part
of
the
way
they
count.
The
population
right
well,.
H
H
Well,
there's
always
something
new
happening
at
the
zoo
and
going
on
our
next
big
habitat
is
asia
two,
so
we
are
going
to
be
sharing
some
sharing
more
about
that
probably
early
early
spring
next
year,
but
that
will
be
the
the
extension
of
the
elephant
habitat
so
it'll
be
rhinos
and
komodo
dragons
orangutans,
some
bird
species
and
reptiles,
plus
a
beautiful
new
event,
center
and
restaurant.
So
we're
very
excited.
A
H
Well
right
now
the
most
popular
has
got
to
be
our
new
wild
encounters.
We're
very
excited
about
this
and
it
hasn't
been
it's
still
rather
new
for
us,
but
it's
an
opportunity
to
go
behind
the
scenes
and
some
some
of
our
animal
areas.
So
right
now
you
can
go
behind
the
scenes
with
grizzly
bears.
You
can
feed
a
grizzly
bear.
I
mean
hello
right
there.
Up
close
grizzly
bears
sea
lions,
galapagos,
tortoises
and
elephants.
I
Well,
with
the
roundup
money
that
candace
was
talking
about,
we
have
a
couple
of
major
initiatives
that
we
supported
this
year.
We
surveyed
the
staff
to
see
what
they
thought
was
most
important
in
terms
of
how
to
spend
that
money
and
they
were
very
interested
in
conserving,
not
just
a
species
but
habitat
for
multiple
species,
and
we
chose
asia
for
that
those
projects
this
year,
because
that
is
an
area
of
the
world
where
we
didn't
currently
have
projects
and
it's
an
area
that
has
a
lot
of
pressure
now
from
the
human
population.
I
H
A
J
Hi
guys
I'm
anas
kander
from
oklahoma
city
thunder
we're
here
today
in
animal
shelter.
When
I
was
a
kid
in
turkey,
you
know
I
have
a
lot
of
you
know.
I
had
cats,
I
had
a
lot
of
birds
and
fish,
but
I
never
you
know
I
had
a
dog
before
now.
I'm
like
thinking
about
adopting
an
animal.
Please
get
involved
with
okc
and
animal
welfare
and
get
involved
and
adopt
and
volunteer
like.
I
am.
F
F
G
A
A
K
You
know
it's
something
that
I've
always
liked.
You
know
I've
always
had
a
rhythm.
I
could
always
dance
and
those
things,
but
I
more
grew
up
as
like
an
artist
in
the
sense
of
drawing
and
doing
that,
creating
I
just
like
to
create,
build
or
draw,
and
then
it
wasn't
until
senior
year
that
I
realized.
Oh,
I
think
I
want
to
use
my
writing
skills
as
well
as
like
this
voice
that
I
have
to
do
something
more
because
there's
so
much
you
can
do
with
rap.
K
A
K
Just
I
was
listening
to
a
lot
of
lil
wayne
at
the
time.
Ironically,
even
though
my
music
is
nothing
like
his
now,
it
was
the
fact
that
he
was
so
like
passionate
about
what
he
did
at
the
time.
So
I
was
really
engulfed
in
getting
to
understand
what
hip-hop
is
and
that
it's
more
than
just
rap.
It
encompasses
djing
graffiti
dancing.
You
know,
rapping,
that's
all,
there's
four
elements
of
hip-hop,
and
these
are
things
I've
always
done.
I've
drawn
my
whole
life,
I've
danced
my
dad's,
a
dj.
K
You
know,
and
I
was
like
oh,
I
can
rap
too,
and
so
it
was
like
you
know
it
was
once
I
realized
that
and
then
there
were
so
many
people
at
the
school
that
were,
you
know,
oklahoma's
kind
of
growing
into
that
scene,
so
everyone
was
kind
of
new
to
and
fresh
to
it.
So
the
fact
that
I
could
even
make
a
full
song
people
were
excited.
I
wasn't
even
that
good,
but
it
was.
K
It
was
able
to
give
me
that
confidence
to
keep
going
because
it
was
so
new
with
the
school
that,
like
I
said,
people
were
impressed.
Just
the
fact
that
I
sit
and
wrote
three
and
a
half
minutes
of
words
and
most
people
were
just
freestyling
in
the
car.
You
know
what
I
mean,
and
so
it
was
kind
of
the
motivation
I
needed
to
keep
going
to
where
it
actually
was
a
listenable
entertaining
and
informing
music,
and
there.
K
Talk
about
how
it's
how
it's
grown,
it's
so
crazy!
You
can
look
at
oklahoma,
even
just
the
architecture
everything's
going
parallel
to
me.
You
know
what
I
mean
as
architecture
grows,
the
culture's
growing,
there's
so
many
people
that
are
understanding
now.
I
think
that
we're
kind
of
all
in
the
same
boat,
every
there's
so
much
talent
that
is
ready
for
a
spotlight
and
all
we
need
is
that
spotlight
and
whether
it's
you
know
shaq
that
would
have
brought
it
or
whatever
it
may
be.
K
There
was
going
to
be
something-
and
I
think
everybody
knows
that,
and
so
it's
a
matter
of
everyone's
finally
getting
on
the
same
page,
showing
love
every
show
you
go
to
people
aren't
going
to
judge
you,
even
if
you're
this
is
your
first
time
or
100th
time,
because
they
know
we're
all
just
trying
to
move
forward.
I
think
that's
kind
of
like
the
mindset.
I
think
that
can
do
so
much
when
people
are
on
the
same
page.
One
brain
is
powerful,
but
a
whole
town
on
the
same
page
towards
the
same
goal.
A
K
Goes
to
a
hookah
bar
that
I
host
at,
and
I
knew
I've
known
ray
he's
known
that
I
do
hip-hop
and
art
and
he
told
shaq
that
that's
a
good
place
to
go
because
there's
hip-hop
and
hookah
and
that's
what
shag
enjoys,
and
so
he
came
and
it
was
actually
a
poetry
night
though
so
I
was
like
this-
isn't
probably
what
he
came
here
for
you
know.
I
kind
of
I
kind
of
guessed
that
he
was
there
to.
You
know
catch
the
hip-hop
vibe
as
well,
so
I
just
started
performing
since
I
was
hosting.
A
K
Man
it,
like,
I
said
it's
just
the
spotlight.
What's
that
what
what
what's
he
done
what's
happening?
The
moment
I
got
off
stage,
so
he
called
me
back,
he
said:
can
you
email
me
that
song?
The
first
thing
he
said
to
me
was:
can
you
email
me
you
put
it
on
his
radio
station?
That's
five
million
streams
a
day
it
he
tweeted
it
out.
Tmz
picked
it
up.
K
I
don't
want
a
you
know
like
a
handout,
I
don't
need
this
gimmick
of
a
big
brother,
robin
big
kind
of
thing.
I
just
need
some
advice
in
the
spotlight
and
that's
I
think
he
understood
that
you
know
what
I
mean.
I
think
he
knew
that
I
was
ready
in
the
sense
where
you
know
me,
and
him
were
talking
he's
told
me.
You
know
I
listen
to
your
lyrics.
I
know
that
this
is
more
than
rap
to
you
and
he
wanted
to
tweet
it
out
if
he
thought
this
was
my
first
time
on
the
stage.
K
I
think
he
knew
that
there
was
something
that
that
was
ready
for
that
you
know
and
that
ready
for
a
12.1
million
tweet,
because
he
has
so
much
of
a
following
that
he
knows
how
much
power
that
has
you
know
what
I
mean
and
just
like.
I
think
he
knew
I
would
use
it
wisely
and
that's
all
I'm
trying
to
do
is
prove
to
him
that
you
know
what
I
mean.
A
B
K
A
K
K
And
that's
how
much
of
a
change
can
be
made
off
of
one
link
and
one
tweet?
You
know
what
I
mean
because
the
internet,
it's
so
powerful
and
I
think
that
there's
a
demographic
for
everything,
everything,
weird
stuff,
cool
stuff
means
stuff,
and
so
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
hippie
kids
out
there
and
shaq
was
one
himself,
and
so
you
know
what
I
mean
that
is
so
crazy.
How
much
that
can
do,
though,.
K
Now,
that's
where
my
past
meetings
the
past
week
have
been
because
I
have
two
songs
in
rotation
on
the
radio.
You
know
I
own
the
rights
to
the
songs,
the
beats,
and
now
it's
a
matter
of
getting
my
royalties
for
those
spreading,
because
I
have
the
hippie
kid
video
coming
out
at
the
end
of
the
month
and
that's
you
know.
K
That
brings
up
so
much
opportunity
when
you're
able
to
put
something
something
youtubers
can
make
movements
one
after
another
and
when
you
have
such
a
strong
one,
I
think
it'll,
just
pile
and
pile
and
I'll
be
selling.
My
merch
through
you
know
my
online
store
and
my
upcoming
shows-
and
I
have
a
lot
of
big
upcoming-
shows
that
I
think
I'll
be
really
able
to
like,
I
said,
stack
the
money
and
start
the
career
and
start
using
the
avenues.
I
have
to
create.
D
A
K
Yeah,
I
still
I
mean
right
now.
I
still
have
art
shows
every
sunday,
you
know
until
I'm
up
and
traveling,
I'm
still
having
my
art
shows
every
sunday.
What
sort
of
art
is
the
visual
art
it's
like
this.
You
know
I
I'm
more
of
a
host
now
of
the
art
I
used
to
do
a
lot
of
live
art
like
you
would
see
me
downtown
spray,
painting
the
live,
galaxy,
art
and
you
know
doing
those
things
that
you
see
in
mexico,
las
vegas.
K
That's
really
how
I
got
my
name
as
an
artist
around
the
city
and
how
I
got
my
income
and
started
to
become
a
full-time
artist,
and
you
know
recognition
because
different
venues
saw
that
I
was
doing
something
consistent
in
the
public
eye
and
they
wanted.
You
know
that
so
now,
they've
given
me
the
opportunity
to
host
and
do
those
but
really
came
from
spray
paint,
art
and
drawing-
and
now
I
just
end
up
just
hosting,
because
I
don't
really
have
as
much
time
for
our
arts
really
my
hobby.
