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
August
2014
glad
you're
with
us
we're
going
to
meet
for
very
interesting
people
today
and
in
our
first
segment,
we're
going
to
meet
ray
Tenace
and
Ray.
Welcome
to
the
mayor's
magazine
nice
to
be
appreciated.
B
A
B
B
A
B
The
general
art
class
that
you
do
you
know
they
kind
of
teach
you
every
almost
all
the
crafts
you
know
from
molding
and
sculpting
and
stuff
like
that,
so
I
kind
of
kind
of
sparked
right
there
you
know
in
the
senior
year
I
had
the
skills
already,
but
it
kind
of
for
me
to
push
myself
to
do
it,
those
you
know
from
from
the
school.
You
know
this
thing.
B
You
did
I,
don't
think
you
don't
think
you
do.
I
think
you
just
do
something
as
a
hobby
and
it's
kind
of
it
passes
time,
and
then
you
get
so
good
at
it
and
then
I
guess,
as
you
become
an
adult,
you
kind
of
figure
out,
okay,
I'm
doing
something
that
you
know
a
lot
of
people
can
do.
You
know
that's
because
you've
built
up
the
skill
when
you're
in
school-
and
you
know
it's
that
thing
that
keeps
telling
you
to
work
at
it.
B
That
was
it
yeah
I
started
very
late
and
but
I
remember,
I
told
myself
I'm
gonna
work,
you
know
non-stop
until
I.
Get
to
that
level
and
2012
is
when
I
did
I
was
requested.
Are
they
going
one
of
the
social
networks
to
do
Russell
Westbrook
and
that's
my
neighbors?
You
know
going
really
good
in
the
team's
and
I
did
a
pain
of
him
and
then
I
did
a
video
of
me
painting
it
in
five
minutes.
B
You
know
I
kind
of
smashed
like
probably
20
hours
of
painting
in
25
minutes
time
left,
yeah
time
lapse
and
on
YouTube,
and
then
we
end
up
getting
like
thirteen
thousand
views
and
then
on
a
few
Thunder
blogs
and
that's
when
I'm
gonna
news
channel
and
from
there
is
when
I
started
going
full
time.
Alright,.
A
B
B
B
Its
on
route
to
a
highway,
so
kind
of
the
the
first
reproductions
actually
became
the
originals,
because
you
know
at
that
point
they're,
the
only
things
left
sort
of
kind
of
so
it's
kind
of
a
neat
story.
You
know
it
first,
it
was
more
of
a
Down
type
thing:
I
was
like
wow,
the
originals
are
gone,
but
then
again
it
had
a
story
behind
it,
so
it
made
them
more
valuable
and
so
now
they
kind
of
think
they
sell
pretty
good.
Now
really.
B
A
B
Durant,
yes,
another
charity
I
was
really
good
at
doing
the
working
with
most
of
the
OKC
Thunder
players
as
far
as
with
their
charities,
and
so
they
commissioned
me
to
do
a
portrait
of
you
know
Katie
or
Serge
Ibaka,
and
so
this
particular
picture
was
done
for
Ibaka's
I,
believe
not
night,
afore
Africa.
But
when
it's
Africa
events
and
basically
went
for
auction,
it
was
that
painting
and
as
I
Serge
Ibaka
painting.
So
it
was
to
total
and.
A
B
Yes,
yes,
that
feel
like
does,
that
was
still
saru
when
I
explained
it,
and
until
it's
still
one
of
those
things
that
it
don't
feel
it's
just
weird
saying,
because
you
know
I
didn't
ever
think
my
artwork,
you
know
and
of
course,
what
their
signatures
can
produce
something
here
and
help
a
charity
like
that.
So
it
was
a
all
moment
for
me
and.
A
B
B
A
D
D
A
Back
to
the
mayor's
magazine,
I'm
Mick
Cornett,
the
mayor
of
Oklahoma
City,
we're
going
to
learn
more
about
storytelling
in
this
segment
of
the
mayor's
magazine
because
coming
up
the
event
at
the
Oklahoma
History
Center,
it's
the
34th
annual
story-telling
festival
and
we
have
with
us
today,
Peter
delisi
and
Steve
Hawkins.
Welcome
to
the
mayor's
magazine.
Thank.
A
Year
with
the
Oklahoma
History
Center,
which
is
really
the
venue
and
Peter
you're,
of
course,
the
executive
director
of
the
Arts
Council,
which
is
for
34
years,
put
this
event
or
yeah.
Well,
let's
start
with
the
history
of
the
event.
Is
you
you
haven't
been
around
long
enough
to
know
why
and
how
it
started.
But
what
are
the
roots
of
this
event?
Well,.
F
Actually,
this
is
one
of
the
oldest
storytelling
festivals
in
the
country.
It
started
just
a
few
years
after
the
national
storytelling
festival
in
Jonesboro
Tennessee
and
the
first
director
of
it
was
actually
a
mentor
and
friend
of
mine,
Lynn
Maroney,
she's
no
longer
working
at
the
Arts
Council,
but
she
was
the
education
coordinator
for
the
Arts
Council
back
in
the
eggs
and
it
started
in
the
summer
time
and
actually
revolved
around
the
fourth
of
July
time
and
we
had
it.
F
G
F
Oh,
my
goodness
yeah
it's
we've
had
times
when
it
was
when
it
used
both
theaters
at
the
stage
center
and
right
now,
at
the
history
center.
We
we
have
the
performances
underneath
the
witty
may
that
the
airplane
in
the
central
foyer
and
it's
it's
it's
a
great
crowd.
We
seat
between
350
and
500
people
for
performances.
Well,.
A
E
A
Event
like
this
and
I
think
some
people
are
going
to
hear
you
know
story,
tell
them
they're
going
to
think.
Oh,
it
must
be
for
little
kids
and
that's
not
necessarily
the
case.
Kids
might
enjoy
this,
but
this
is
really
for
people
of
all
ages
who
just
like
to
hear
good
stories.
That's
right!
That's
right!
It.
F
Really
is
we've
got
professional
tellers
from
all
over
the
world
that
work.
At
this
event,
a
couple
of
the
tellers
donald
davis
is
so
popular
that
we
literally
book
him
three
years
in
advance
to
get
him
to
come
and
he's
a
retired
methodist
minister
he's
probably
written
25
books
and
he's
got
all
sorts
of
dvds
and
tapes
and
his
his
performance
is
at
the
Nationals,
where
they
have
these
big
tents
with
like
2,000
people
that
seat
the
tents
they
roll
up.
F
F
F
Bill
up
another
one
of
our
tellers
has
won
the
virginia
liars
contest
five
years
on
the
road.
So
if
tall
tales
are
involved
and
and
then
you
know
just
family
stories
or
it
can
be
fantasy
or
it
can
be
medieval
tales
or
tails
of
you
know,
back
in
the
knights
of
the
round
table
or
whatever
there's
just
a
variety
of
different,
they
can
be
cultural
tales
to
even.
A
E
F
The
Chesapeake
borrow
room:
it's
where
we
do
all
the
workshops.
It's
actually
a
two-part
scenario
on
thursday,
friday
and
saturday
evenings
and
also
on
saturday
afternoon.
We
do
performances
but
all
day,
Friday
and
all
day
Saturday.
We
also
do
workshops
on
the
artist
storytelling
and
on
those
are
great.
The
workshops
are
amazing.
You
go
to
the
workshops
and
you
can
learn
how
to
apply
storytelling
to
a
variety
of
different
scenarios.
A
A
F
F
F
So
if
you
go
to
a
single
workshop
performance
for
ten
dollars
or
the
evening,
performances
are
ten
dollars
too,
but
the
and
you
can
get
a
whole
group
price
and
you
can
go
to
our
website
to
find
all
that
information
out.
But
the
workshops
are
a
lot
of
fun
and
fun
for
the
whole
family.
All
right,
Peter.
A
A
H
You
can
go
green
brought
to
you
by
the
city
of
Oklahoma,
City
use
a
recycling
bin
and
curbside
service
is
available
in
your
neighborhood
grass
cycle
or
mulch.
Your
lawn
you'll
keep
a
lot
of
plastic
bags
out
of
the
landfill.
A
half-acre
lon
produces
more
than
three
tons,
nearly
260
yard
bags
of
grass
clippings
a
year.
He
cycle
unwanted
electronics
to
a
local
recycling
center
for.
A
J
A
J
Write
which
you
know
my
parents,
my
sisters,
cousins
and
stuff,
like
that,
we
would
have
like,
like
a
family,
good
games.
We
have
like
you,
know,
performances
now
right
on
my
sisters
and
cousins,
rats
for
them
and
then
we
are
performing
stuff,
but
the
it
was
fun
so
I,
you
know
like
I've,
had
the
passion
in
my
heart
since
then
I
think
I
went
to
the
studio.
My
first
time,
I
was
about
15
and
start
performing
about
16-17.
So
what's.
J
The
biggest
misconceptions,
probably
that
it's
all
drugs
violence,
you
know
and
stuff
like
that.
You
know-
and
that's
not
true
I-
think
I
think
for
the
most
part,
the
average
listener
to
hip-hop
music.
Only
here
today
here
on
the
radio
what
they
see
like,
for
instance,
for
me
I
might
I
might
be
an
average
listener
to
say
you
know,
country
music.
So
my
interpretation
is
only
what
I've
been
told.
J
What
I've
heard
you
know,
I
could
I
couldn't
go
down
a
whole
list
of
awesome
country
musicians
for
you,
but
because
you
know
I'm
really
into
hip-hop,
music
and
rap
music.
You
know
I
can
go
out
a
list
of
people
and
list
of
artists
who
make
positive
music
who
make
music.
That
does
have
death
and
depth
and
does
you
know
effect
change
and
uplift
people
so
do.
A
J
I
mean
my
message
is
just
truth,
you
know
and
just
to
be
honest
and
and
show
that
you
know,
as
people
is
our
responsibility
to
to
care
and
take
care
of
people,
it's
each
other.
You
know,
I
was
I,
don't
always
see
that
growing
up,
you
know,
and
you
know,
I
was
I
was
started
by
my
mom
and,
and
you
know,
people
who
you
know
helped
show
me,
you
know
different
different
things,
but
but
I
think
that
you
know
with
me
with
music.
J
You
know
I
want
to
be
somebody
who
you
know
whenever
I,
whenever
I
died
on,
say
that
he
was
a
good
rapper.
I'll
say
that
you
know
he
sure
was
cool.
They
can
save
me
that
that
guy
helped
change
my
life
or
you
know
because
of
him
I
see
things
totally
different.
You
know
so
like
that.
That's
like
that's
what
I'm
here
for
I
feel
like
I'm
here
for
a
different
reason.
J
A
J
J
And
I'm
and
the
good
thing
about
it
is,
is
I.
Can
there
are
programs
now
that
we
can
see?
Okay,
people
that
I
late
love,
this
music
or
people
in
New,
York,
I,
filling
this
song
and
you
know
because
of
itunes
amazon.
You
know
I
can't
pick
and
choose
which
projects
I
do
want
to
sell
and
profit
from,
and
you
know,
for
instance,
for
Valentine's
Day
I
want
to
do
just
to
free
download
district
valentine's
day.
There
was
five
songs
and
it
was
just
you
know,
music
about.
J
J
The
funny
thing
is:
I've
never
met
Kevin
Durant
before
but
I
played
at
his
charity
basketball
game.
He
had
a
few
years
ago
when
they
had
to
lock
out-
and
you
know,
I've
been
at
a
few
few
events
that
that
he
was
at
in
performing
a
few
events
day.
He
and
I
was
in
the
the
new
Nike
commercial,
too,
so
I
mean
but
I've,
never
like
I.
A
J
J
I
thought
it
was
a
joke
at
first
to
be
honest:
I
stops
to
teach
during
the
school
year,
and
so
when
I
got
the
class
I
had
an
email,
and
it
said
call
me
back
right
now,
for
you
know,
there's
a
director
one
wants
to
meet
you
and
so
I
call
the
number
back
and
the
guys
like
who
is
it
some
like
it
says:
JB
I
got
your
email,
girls
I
start
a
bunch
of
emails.
What
do
you
want?
I'm
like
it
was
about
a
commercial.
J
He
goes,
I,
don't
know
calling
back
so
I
I
just
got
back
on
line.
I
just
replied
to
the
email
and
said
you
just
wrote
me
and
so
I
had
a
show
in
norman
and
the
guys
walking
around
going
to
you.
Jb.
Are
you
j,
vr?
U
JV,
and
so
he
finally
came
in.
He
goes
and
I.
He
called
you.
I
go
no
like.
He
didn't
call
me
for
what
he
goes.
Look
at
my
phone
and
say
these
lines.
So
he
had
me
say
a
few
lines
from
the
commercial
and
his
phone.
J
J
J
You
know,
and
things
like
that,
but
I
think,
like
the
day
it
came
on,
I
woke
up,
I
was
in
Arizona,
I
woke
up
and
I
had
like
30
mins
text
messages,
50
tweets,
it
was
just
crazy,
so
I
mean
it's
been
good
and
its
really
helped.
You
know,
take
I,
guess
my
career
passages
rapping,
which,
which
is
you
know,
which
is
a
good
thing
I'd
like
to
do
so,
are.
J
I
Oklahoma
City
Beautiful
is
all
of
our
responsibilities:
tall
grass
or
weeds
dead
or
diseased
trees
and
shrubs
are
a
health
and
fire
hazard,
neglected
yards
and
landscaping
not
only
put
public
health
at
risk,
but
also
pets,
wildlife
and
neighborhood
children.
City
ordinance
requires
owners
to
maintain
their
property
and
right-of-ways
by
reporting
abuse,
you're,
protecting
your
property
value
and
helping
us
keep
Oklahoma
City
beautiful.
A
G
Born
I
mean,
is
it
I
I've
always
I've
always
been
creative?
It's
it's
been,
you
know,
part
of
my
DNA.
You
know
when
my
brother
would
would
you
know
bribe
me
to
go.
Kick
the
soccer
ball
with
him.
I
wanted
to
stay
inside
in
color
and
write
stories
and
draw
and
watch
cartoons,
and
that
kind
of
stuff
are.
G
I'm,
mostly
a
writer
by
trade,
I
work
in
advertising
branding,
so
I
do
graphic
design.
You
know
that
kind
of
stuff.
My
my
main
strength
is
writing
and
in
the
comics
that
we
do,
I
I
always
wanted
to
draw
my
own
comics,
but
then
at
some
point,
I
realized
I
didn't
have
the
talent
or
patience
to
draw
them.
So
I,
just
I
really
focused
on
my
writing,
and
so
that's
that's
really.
Nice,
okay,
I'm.
A
Gonna
hold
up
this
this
book
here
and
I've
got
to
tell
you.
I
haven't
read
it,
but
it
is
done
amazingly
well
and
it's
become
amazingly
popular
and
that's
why
you're
on
the
show
to
teach
me
more
about
what
it
is,
I
should
know
about
about
Brian
Winkler
and
his
work
tell
me
about
this
work
and
the
scope
and
the
breadth
that
is.
It's
now
had
taken
its
audience.
Okay,
it's.
G
G
G
It
just
came
out:
we've
been
proved
its.
This
is
the
we've
been
putting
out
as
a
digital
comic
through
monkey
brain,
which
is
a
boutique
digital-only
comics
publisher,
idw
has
put
this
collection
together,
it's
144
pages
and
we've
got
san.
Diego
comic-con
is
coming
up
we're
heading
out.
There
we've
got
two
signings
and
we
just
found
out
yesterday
we're
going
to
be
on
a
panel
with
the
publisher,
which
is
I,
never
thought
I'd.
It
will
never
get
better
than
this,
so
I'm
just
going
to
to
absorb
it
all
and
enjoy
it.
G
It's
really
it's
people
who
who
who
read
it
really
like
it,
because
it's
it's
not
necessarily
people
who
read
comics
will
enjoy
it,
but
we've
specifically
created
it
for
people
that
wouldn't
necessarily
normally
read
comics
but
who,
like
sitcoms,
like
comedy
movies.
You
know
that's
really
what
we're
trying
to
do
with
this
is
just
sort
of
have
a
big
fun
adventure.
Ok,.
A
So
I'll
revert
back
when
I
was
a
kid
and
I
went
to
buy
comic,
they
were
like
12
cents
and
we
might
buy
Archie
or
Little
Lulu,
or
something
like
that
or
Superman.
And
today
there
are
comic
book
stores.
I
mean
there's
been
almost
every
city
has
a
handful
of
these
to
these
places
and
they're
not
12,
sense,
anymore
and
and
the
stories
can
be
quite
sophisticated.
It's.
G
G
Luckily
there
has
been
a
growing
number
of
all
ages
books
and
those
the
ones
that
my
children
read
so
so
there.
If
you
know
you
can't
necessarily
go
into
a
store
and
pick
up
a
spider-man
and
give
it
to
a
five-year-old.
But
there
are
quite
a
few
books
that
five
year
olds
could
read
if
they
or
you
know,
and
and
and
more
should,
because
it
really
it's.
