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
of
2014
in
our
first
segment,
we're
going
to
meet
with
President
jaundice
tiger
of
oklahoma.
Christian
he's
been
with
the
university
quite
some
time.
The
president,
the
last
few
years
and
he's
got
an
interesting
capital
campaign
going
on
that.
I
think,
is
really
going
to
allow
us
to
continue
to
invest
in
that
part
of
the
city,
so
President
addis
tiger.
Welcome
back
to
the
show
mayor.
A
It's
such
an
honor
to
have
you
on
this
show,
because
not
only
the
the
front
office
and
the
faculty
at
your
school,
but
I
continually
run
into
graduates
of
oklahoma
christian
and
they
could
have
graduated
20
years
ago,
30
years
ago
or
one
year
ago,
and
so
many
are
making
a
mark
on
this
community
silly.
You
all
should
be
very
proud
of
the
product
that
you're
you're
putting
out
into
the
community.
Well.
B
Mayor,
thank
you
for
that.
I
tell
you
what
we're
really
proud
of.
We
have
students
that
come
from
all
across
the
nation
from
all
across
the
world
and
they
want
to
stay
here
in
Oklahoma
City.
So
that's
to
your
credit
and
the
city
leaders
of
Oklahoma
City.
They
want
to
stay
here
in
Central
Oklahoma
when
they
graduate
and
we're
thrilled
about
that.
Your.
A
Location
is
is
unique,
but
I
mean,
if
you're,
if
you're
looking
for
ways
to
take
advantage
of
that,
I
would
assume
there
are
able
you're
able
to
it
is
in
the
northwest
part
of
Oklahoma
City,
just
barely
actually
in
the
city
limit
lines,
but
very
close
to
edmond
and
so
I
would
think
geographically
you're
able
to
to
count
on
a
great
consumer
base
of
high
school
seniors.
That's.
B
B
It's
all
two
weeks
old
and
it's
a
special
and
unique
capital
campaign.
In
fact,
our
university
is
unique
for
a
number
of
reasons.
Mayor
Cornett,
you
know
we
we
are
actually
experiencing
record
enrollment.
Our
projections
suggest
that
we
will
have
record
enrollment
again
in
two
months
when
classes
begin.
Eighty
percent
of
our
undergraduates
live
on
campus
and
that's
a
high
person.
A
B
Is
a
very
high
percentage?
You
just
don't
find
that
in
many
places.
We're
proud
of
that
we're
also
proud
of
the
community
feel
that
we
have
every
day
every
more
learning
our
students
and
faculty
and
staff
come
together
in
a
chapel
setting
and
again,
that's
not
something
you
see
very
often.
This
capital
campaign
is
different
and
unique
itself.
Most
universities
that
engage
in
a
capital
campaign.
It
is
for
a
multiple
number
of
years.
A
very
large
dollar
amount,
there's
a
quiet
phase.
B
Where
really
you
don't
know
what's
happening
in
the
campaign,
we've
kind
of
turned
all
of
that
on
on
its
head.
This
is
a
one-year
capital
campaign.
There
are
a
limited
number
of
projects.
We're
raising
dollars
that
will
be
invested
and
spent
for
our
students
experience
this
year
in
academic
areas
in
in
programs
in
capital
needs
that
the
university
has
and
everything
is
transparent
on
the
website.
It
tells
us
exactly
how
much
we've
raised
and
for
what
programs,
so
we've
kind
of
changed
everything
about
this
capital
campaign.
We're
pretty
excited
about
it.
New.
B
Some
renovations
we've
decided
right
now.
The
cost
is
very
important
to
us.
We
have
gone
for
the
last
two
years
without
raising
any
prices
at
the
University
going
into
this
next
year
we
won
three
percent,
so
over
the
last
three
years
of
battle,
one
percent
increase
on
average.
Again
you
won't
find
that
many
places,
rather
than
building
new
buildings,
we're
taking
the
buildings
that
we
have
and
we're
making
them
new
again.
So
we
find
that
to
be
more
cost
effective
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
pass
on
to
our
students
and.
B
Our
greatest
growth
areas
are
engineering.
We
have
three
accredited
engineering
programs
and
great
employers
here
in
our
community
that
want
to
hire
our
graduates,
our
Sciences
programs.
If
students
want
to
go
to
medical
school,
they
have
a
great
chance
to
get
there
once
they've
completed
our
regimen
of
study.
In
fact,
it's
close
to
a
hundred
percent,
then
also
in
business,
we're
doing
a
lot
of
great
stuff
in
the
business
area.
Students
that
graduate
they're
also
have
great
futures
ahead,
but
we
have
nursing.
We
have
language
and
literature.
B
B
A
B
First,
you
can
come
to
campus
because
we
want
you
to
come
and
visit
campus.
In
fact,
I
want
to
especially
invite
you
mara,
cornet
you're,
a
runner.
You
spend
a
lot
of
time
outside
we've
got
a
3.1
mile
trail,
eagle
trail
that
goes
around
the
perimeter
of
the
campus
and
the
community
loves
it
so
make
yourself
available
and
come
and
run
with
us.
Sometimes
it.
B
A
D
D
A
A
E
Where
D
lling
with
groups
of
children
who
haven't
spent
a
significant
amount
of
time
in
gardens,
who
may
or
may
not
actually
know
where
their
food
comes
from
and
frankly,
whose
nutrition
is
suffering
from
from
the
absence
of
garden
and
from
the
absence
of
of
accessible
fruits
and
vegetables,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
thought
was
as
an
educational
nonprofit.
It
would
be
such
a
great
idea
for
us
to
be
able
to
come
into
school
yards
plant
gardens
in
schoolyards
use
them
as
outdoor
classrooms.
E
Allow
the
teachers
to
develop
lessons
and
ideas
around
the
gardens
and
not
only
teach
earth
sciences
and
biology
and
planting,
but
also
teach
social
studies
in
reading
and
math
and
and
simple
things
like
problem
solving
skills.
And
so,
instead
of
having
the
garden
be
something
that
they
go
on
a
field
trip
to
visit.
E
A
E
I
mean
one
of
the
things
that
they're
missing
is
just
seeing
the
progress
it
teaches.
It
teaches
the
kids
about
about,
watching
the
progress
of
plants
grow
plants
growing
and
how
they
produce
vegetables
that
in
fruit
they
may
not
necessarily
have
ever
seen
it
happen,
and
so
the
other
thing
that
it
teaches
them
is
that
lettuce,
things
that
you
know
things
that
lots
of
kids
pick
off.
E
A
E
E
Of
reasons
for
a
lot
of
reasons,
the
root
vegetables
can
bully
carrots
and
and
radishes,
but
also
things
like
onions.
Just
because
it's
something
where
you
plant
it
and
it's
almost
like
there's
a
certain
age
group,
I'd,
say
maybe
2nd
to
4th
graders,
where
they
don't
actually
believe.
There's
anything
going
on
and.
E
The
fact
that,
from
january
to
june,
we
plant
one
type
of
fruit
and
vegetable
and
then,
from
august
to
october,
we
plant
others
and
one
of
the
great
things
that
I
actually
have
actually
seen
happen
in
school
yard.
Gardens
is
just
the
amazement
when
kids
plant,
something
as
basic
as
sweet
potatoes
and
see
how
many
sweet
potatoes
come
out
of
a
single
planting
out
of
a
single,
basically
pile
of
dirt
and
and
and
and
in
some
situations,
kids
are
able.
E
A
May
have
a
hundred
elementary
schools
inside
the
oklahoma
city,
limits
of
relationship
number
of
middle
schools
and
high
schools.
You
can't
do
it
all
I
mean
you're
a
startup
right.
What
do
you
need
to
grow?
What
do
you
need
to
take
this
program
to
you
know
to
every
kid
in
every
every
part
of
the
city?
Well,.
E
One
of
the
great
things
about
what
we
do
is
that
we
don't
have
to
do
it
alone,
because
we
get
the
vault.
We
get
volunteers
from
the
schools,
but
what
right
now?
What
we
really
need
is
funding,
because,
as
a
start-up
nonprofit
we're
frankly
not
eligible
for
a
lot
of
larger
grants.
So
much
of
our
funding
is
coming
from
private
sources
and
as
we
develop
that
we
are
able
to
cultivate
a
volunteer
corps
at
each
of
the
groups
that
we
go
to
to
plan.
E
B
E
Now,
roosevelt
middle
school
has
a
four
bed
garden,
that's
actually
producing
fruits
and
vegetables,
and
we
also
put
a
community.
We
did
a
sample
community
garden,
a
two-bed
community
garden
inn
at
Temple,
B'nai
Israel
on
Pennsylvania,
Avenue
and
they're,
using
it
in
in
the
early
childhood
education
program
there,
as
well
as
the
campers,
are
getting
involved
with
their
gardens
and.
E
Neighborhood
organizations
other
nonprofits
and
therapeutic
organizations,
organizations
that
that
serve
special
needs,
children,
organizations
that
serve
people
who
may
be
in
physical
or
occupational
therapy
and
are
interested
in
having
a
great
outdoor
space
where
people
can
work,
we're
there,
we're
taking
it
to
them
as
well.
Yeah.
E
Were
getting
great
reaction?
I,
the
the
I
was
really
just
so
pleased
with
the
the
Roosevelt
garden
build.
We
showed
up
at
nine
o'clock
on
a
Saturday
morning.
We
were
fully
expecting
to
be
there
until
about
two
in
the
afternoon
and
at
eleven-thirty
we
were
finished
because
parents
and
their
children
and
local
community
members
and
teachers
had
all
come
out
to
build
the
garden.
It
was
just
amazing
and.
E
Yes,
we're
going,
we
grow
raised
beds
and
that's
actually
what
we
provide
free
of
charge
to
the
gardening
organization.
Is
we
provide
the
border
material,
the
soil
and
basically
the
construction
of
the
raised
beds
and
in
some
cases,
we've
been
able
to
provide
the
plants
as
well,
but
in
some
cases
we
ask
the
organization's
sort
of
share
that
the
expense
with
us
and
plant
the
garden
plant.
The
garden
sometimes.
A
You
hear
pushback
from
from
edge
caters
who
say:
look
these
these
extracurricular
activities
are
great
ideas
and
we
agree
that
kids
can
learn
from
these
things,
but
we
have
math
and
science
and
we've
got
to
keep
focused
on
that.
Have
you
run
into
any
of
that
yet
or
as
most
people
been
receptive
to
what
you're
trying
to
do
I've.
E
Run
into
it
in
the
past,
I
haven't
run
into
an
Oklahoma
City,
most
people
who
are
receptive
to
it
and
what
I
basically
say
is
that
this
isn't
an
extracurricular
activity.
This
is
a
co
curricular
activity.
This
is
this
is
a
teachable
moment.
This
is
a
way
to
build
a
lesson
if
we're
attempting
to
fill
four
by
12
foot
long,
a
four
foot
by
12
foot,
long
bed,
eight
inches
deep
with
with
garden
soil.
There's
a
math
problem
there.
E
If
we're
talking
about
what
vegetable
fruits
and
vegetables
will
grow
in
our
area,
that's
a
social
studies
question.
If
we're
asking
children
to
follow
steps
to
plant
and
care
for
a
garden,
that's
reading,
if
we're
asking
a
child
to
write
about
their
experience,
that's
writing
a
reflection.
So
there
are
ways
to
incorporate
all
of
that
into
the
learning
process,
which
is
part
of
the
reason
why
I
refer
to
them
as
outdoor
classrooms
or
some
people
call
them
edible.
E
A
It's
and
it
starts
with
that
next
generation
you've
got
to
build
a
culture
that
values,
health
and
nutrition,
and
this
you
know
maybe
one
of
the
primary
building
blocks.
Oh
thank
what
you're
doing.
Thank
you
very
much.
All
right,
Larry
Heyman
with
the
OKC
harvest,
will
be
back
one
more
segment
on
the
mayor's
magazine
when.
C
D
F
A
plan
is
the
most
important
thing
you
can
do
to
keep
you
and
your
family
safe,
remember
to
shelter
in
place,
go
to
your
storm,
shelter
or
innermost
room
on
the
lowest
level
of
your
home.
The
more
walls
between
you
and
the
outside
the
better.
Whenever
possible,
stay
out
of
your
car,
it's
one
of
the
most
dangerous
places
to
be
during
a
tornado
in.
G
Addition
to
a
plan
build
an
emergency
supply
kit.
Our
family
home
was
destroyed
by
a
tornado
and,
although
we
survived,
we
were
left
with
nothing
until
help
arrived.
Don't
wait
until
it's
too
late,
go
to
okc
gov
/
prepare
to
find
more
information
on
how
to
build
the
kit
that
could
save
your
family's
life.
C
A
A
H
A
H
We
have
a
lot
of
military
memorabilia
and
we
talked
about.
Basically,
the
the
museum
is
preserving
the
history
of
the
domestic
pigeon
and
we're
talking
about
the
history
of
this
bird
with
humankind
from
the
beginning
of
time
as
we
as
we
know,
in
infra
records
through
World
War
1
in
World
War
two
to
present
day
and
we're
also
preserving
the
history
of
the
different
clubs.
We
they
were
racing,
pigeon
clubs.
They
were
fancy
pigeon
clubs
and
we
have
a
lot
of
their
memorabilia.
H
H
For
delivery
service,
we
can
trace
it
back
to
Hannibal
crossing
the
Alps.
He
brought
pigeons
with
him
and
in
fact,
when
he
invaded
Italy
it
was
the
invasion
of
a
town
of
called
Medina,
and
so
in
Italy
is
called
the
siege
of
Medina
and
there
are.
They
have
pigeons
that
are
called
modenas.
It's
a
domestic
pigeon
but
they've
been
bred
to
look
a
little
different.
H
If
you
ask
any
pigeon,
fancier
they'll
tell
you
as
far
back
as
Noah,
and
so
we
try
to
incorporate
that
into
the
history
and
but
all
through
here,
straight
Genghis,
Khan
up
into
a
lot
in
the
1800's
Jay
Paul
Reuters,
with
the
news
agency
had
pigeons
and
our
biggest
right
now
is
World
War
1
in
World
Row
2.
That's
where
we
have
most
of
the
memorabilia.
A
Because
that
that
means
the
American
military
actually
kind
of
adopted
that
the
sport
or
the
activity
and
said
how
can
we
use
this,
for
you
know
military
gain?
So
what's
that
what's
the
background
there
do
we
can
we
trace
it
to
a
single
person's
idea
or
a
small
committee
that
came
up
with
the
idea
of
using
carrier
pigeons
well.
H
B
H
Americans
adopted
that,
though,
Americans
knew
that
you
could
use
patience
relay
messages,
that's
really
when
it
started,
and
in
fact
the
one
of
the
most
famous
birds
is
to
share
a
me
that
was
used
in
World
War
one
was
a
British
bird
and
they
gave
it
to
the
Americans.
The
Americans
named
him.
Sharing
me
in
tribute
for
being
in
France
and
Cheramie
saved.
What
is
called
the
lost
battalion
there's
been
movies
made
about
up
at
the
lost
battalion
was
a
battalion.
H
That
was
not
necessarily
lost,
but
they
were
surrounded
by
enemy
and
they
had
they
had
three
pigeons
left
and
they
sent
an
important
message
to
to
save
themselves
back
to
base
camp,
and
the
first
two
pigeons,
unfortunately,
were
shot
down.
So
they
had
one
left
and
it
was
Cheramie
they
sent
share
me
off
and
Cheramie
was
shot
three
times,
but
still
got
home
in
in
time
to
get
the
message
to
the
Troops
and
they
saved
the
lost
battalion
and
that's
just
a
portion
of
the
history.
So.
A
H
Was
ramped
up
because
after
World
War
at
the
end
of
World
War,
one
the
Americans
to
realize
that
we
needed
to
do
something?
And
so
they
started
what
was
called
a
pigeon
core,
which
is
part
of
the
US
Army,
Signal
Corps,
and
so
through
the
1920s.
They
were
training.
They
were
building
up
their
their
troops
of
pigeons
and
in
World
War,
two,
the
Americans
had
54,000
pigeons
and
service.
They
didn't
all
fly,
some
of
them
were
breathing.
But,
yes,
it
was
much
bigger
in
World
War,
two
Wow.

One
of
the
most
famous
pigeons
American
pigeons
in
world
war,
two
was
GI
Joe
and
he
again
was
the
last
pigeon
that
was
left
with
a
group
of
Allied
forces
and
there's
a
small
town
in
Italy
that
had
been
taken
over
by
the
Germans
in
the
plans
were
ground,
forces
would
come
in
and
bombers
allied
bombers
would
come
in
well.
The
ground
forces
got
there
a
little
head
of
schedule,
Germans
had
retreated,
and
when
the
ground
forces
went
to
alert
the
Bombers,
they
didn't
need
them.
Their
radios
were
down.

We
do
have
a
theater
setup
where
we
show
clips.
We
have
different
clips,
I,
don't
schedule
anything
right
now,
but
if
we
have
large
groups
will
put
in,
you
know
we'll
have
a
set
timetable
for
all
of
them,
but
we
have
a
variety
from
from
raising
the
birds
to
the
biology
of
the
birds
too.
We
even
have
a
film
called
the
Queen's
wings
that
was
given
to
us
by
Jim
Jenner,
and
it
tells
the
history
of
the
Queen's
loft
and
and
in
fact
the
Queen
donated
a
very
unique
pigeon
basket
to
us
for
our
museum.
H
H
There
is
there's
two
groups
of
people
that
are
involved
in
this.
The
American
page
museum
is
about
the
domestic
pigeon
and
the
domestic
pigeon.
The
two
groups
are
the
racing,
homer
and
obviously
the
name
says
it
all:
they
raced
their
Birds
there's.
Also
a
group
called
the
National
pigeon
association,
which
are
the
fancy
breeders
and
all
over
the
United
States
and
all
over
the
world.
There
are
people
that
breed
the
domestic
pigeon,
but
they
look
a
little
different,
just
like
having
a
dog
shows.

Lori
Montero
is
the
curator
at
the
American
pigeon
museum.
It's
on
northeast
63rd
street
in
Oklahoma,
City
and
I
hope
you'll
make
a
habit
the
summer
of
taking
your
kids
or
grandkids
out
there
to
to
enjoy
the
experience,
and
if
you
bring
in
a
bunch
of
people,
sounds
like
you
might
want
to
give
Lori
a
heads
up
and
she
can
make
the
experience
worthwhile,
but
that's
going
to
do
it
for
this
edition
of
the
mayor's
magazine,
Thank
You
Lori
for
coming
on
and
such
a
pleasant
guest
I
want
to
thank
our
other
guests
as
well.
