A
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
april
2014
glad
you're
with
us.
Well,
if
it's
april,
it
must
mean
the
festival
of
the
arts
cannot
be
too
far
behind
and
with
us
today
is
Chuck
cone
and
Kathy
Bookman.
Who
are
the
co-chairs
for
this
year's
festival
of
the
arts?
Welcome
to
the
mayor's
magazine
thank.
A
So
delighted
that
the
festival
starts
this
year
on
april,
twenty
second,
because
those
that
have
studied
oklahoma
history
know
that's
when
the
land
run
occurred.
That's
when
oklahoma
city
began,
and
here
on
the
125th
anniversary.
It
coincides
with
the
beginning
of
the
festival
of
the
arts
check.
I
don't
know
how
you
got
all
the
calendars
to
line
up
like
that
Chuck,
but
congratulate
how.
B
Am
we
actually
have
some
things
coinciding
with
that
as
well?
So
am,
for
example,
you're
going
to
come
out
and
be
there
for
the
opening
ceremonies
and
help
us
kick
it
off.
We've
got
some
of
our
children's
areas
are
going
to
help
commemorate
the
anniversary
that
day
and
so
we're
going
to
try
to
incorporate
that
in
as
much
as
we
can
now.
A
C
The
energy
I
love
I
did
work
with
this
and
I've
been
working
with
it
for
20-something
years,
I
brought
my
children
when
they
were
small
and
I
like
it.
One
of
my
favorite
things
is
that
you
can
work
along
beside
anyone.
You
can
work
with
the
librarian,
you
can
work
with
the
city
council
person
and
all
of
our
jobs
are
just
as
important
as
the
other.
Oh.
A
C
Are
a
hundred
and
forty
four
artists
who
are
all
always
juried?
That's
something
that
we're
very
proud
of
it.
We
have
outside
jurors
that
come
in
and
they
don't
know
their
names,
they
are
in
their
various
categories
and
they
have
numbers
and
at
the
end
we
find
out
who
gets
into
the
festival
and
it's
just
very
exciting.
How.
B
B
C
C
B
Know
that
one
yeah,
it's
a
monk
ball
milling
with
it.
It's
that
kind
of
a
meatball
II
thing.
That's
from
you
know,
part
big
part,
cow
monk,
its
course
delicious
I
know
everybody.
Once
everybody
wants
to
tell
everybody
I
go
that
does
make
sense
when
we
were
trying
to
join
the
food
jury,
because
all
the
food
vendors
are
juried
in
as
well.
B
B
We
have
three
stages
going
all
through
the
festival
I'm
from
open
to
close
their
performances
that
rotate
all
throughout
throughout
all
of
them.
We
have
about
a
couple
hundred
performers.
Everything
ranging
from
we've,
got
orchestras
playing
some
school
dance,
school
bands
coming.
You
know,
people
tap
dancing,
we've
got
dance.
Companies
like
race,
dance
company
is
going
to
be
there,
I
think
I'll
get
Orchestra
I
mean
we've
just
got
something
for
everyone
from
rock
country.
Anything.
C
Oh
absolutely,
as
far
as
music
we
all
set.
Well,
we
have
a
festival.
Idol
yes,
show
where
they
showcase
their
talent
and
moving
around
two
children.
We
also
have
a
juried
children's
show,
so
that
goes
from
kindergarten
to
12th
grade
they're
allowed
to
submit
their
art,
and
once
again
you
know,
as
I
said
as
Street
as
well
mm-hmm.
A
B
It'll
be
a
lot
of
fun.
We
actually
open
a
little
early
on
Tuesday
for
what
we
call
our
festive
first
participants
who
people
who
can
met
I'm.
Sorry,
who
said
they're
going
to
are
going
to
purchase
at
least
five
hundred
dollars
worth
of
art,
and
so
we
open
early,
give
them
kind
of
a
sneak
preview
of
the
show
and
they
can
purchase
before
the
official
opening
of
festival
that
morning,
but
festival
officially
opens
at
11am
and
we
will
have
opening
ceremonies
on
the
cafe
stage
in
the
festival
plaza
and
we've
got
you
coming.
B
B
A
B
B
C
A
C
First
year
is
learning
to
see
what
you're
going
to
do
and
make
your
plans,
and
we
get
three
months
off
and
that
we're
preparing
the
next
one.
So
we
celebrate
in
April.
We
have
our
festival
in
April,
we
celebrate
in
May
and
we
haven't
met
off
and
then
we're
getting
our
co-chairs
and
day
chairs
in
place
and.
A
B
Committee
members
make
up
what
we
call
our
Chairman's
list,
which
head
up
all
the
committee's
everything
from
committee
for
face,
painting
to
the
plaza
artist
committee
that
helps
with
the
artists.
You
know:
drinks,
committees,
balloons
and
flowers
that
face
you
know
all
the
children's
activities
we've
got
committees
to
handle
everything
it.
C
A
C
D
C
A
Sounds
like
we
have
a
number
of
asked
to
our
citizens.
We
want
them
to
certainly
come
at
least
once
so,
and
you
know,
I
have
some
personal
advice.
Usually
people
pick
up
that
best
and
brightest
weather
day
to
come
out.
I
have
found
that
that
sometimes
the
day
where
you
thought
it
might
not
be
all
that
great
you
go
out
there
there's
no
lines.
You
know
that
there's
just
there's
less
congestion,
and
sometimes
those
are
the
more
enjoyable
days.
A
And
so
you
know,
obviously
it's
an
outdoor
event,
and
so
you
know
wind
and
rain,
and
potential
cool
temperatures
are
always
choose.
But
we
will
cross
our
fingers
and
hope
for
the
best
and
I
want
to
encourage
people
to
get
out
and
and
pay
attention
to,
the
kids,
exhibits
and
the
kids
activities.
And
if
you
have
kids
or
grandkids,
where
it
might
be
appropriate
for
them
to
be
involved.
A
There's
no
better
way
to
encourage
a
child
than
to
get
them
involved
at
the
festival
of
the
arts
or
to
encourage
those
that
are
already
being
involved
out
there.
And
then
people
need
to
order
food.
They
need
to
buy
some
art,
and
so,
if
that
requires
saving
up
a
few
dollars
in
the
weeks
before
then
go
ahead
and
get
started
or
if
it
means
not
eating
the
day
before,
because
you
want
to.
A
B
A
On
behalf
of
the
citizens
of
Oklahoma
City,
thank
you,
too,
for
for
dedicating
two
years
of
your
professional
life
to
being
a
part
of
pushing
the
arts
forward
in
Oklahoma
City.
This
is
a
great
event
and
I
know
people
travel
from
all
over
the
state
and
probably
outside
the
state
to
come
visit
us
and
so
there's
an
economic
development
angle
to
it.
But
certainly
it's
one
of
the
things
that
Oklahoma
City
is
most
proud
of,
and
it's
been
going
on
now
with
since
the
1960s.
Yes,
yes,.
A
D
A
Welcome
back
to
the
mayor's
magazine,
I'm
Mick
Cornett,
the
mayor
of
Oklahoma
City,
as
I
mentioned
in
our
last
segment,
we're
coming
up
on
a
very
significant
day
in
Oklahoma
City's
history,
it's
the
125th
anniversary
of
the
land
run
and,
of
course,
the
land
run
is
the
first
day
in
Oklahoma,
City's,
history
and
april.
Twenty
second,
is
that
pivotal
day,
buddy
johnson
is
here,
he's
a
reference
librarian
for
the
Metropolitan
library
system.
Buddy.
Welcome
to
the
mayor's
magazine.
Thank.
A
F
Grew
up
and
well
actually,
I
grew
up
kind
of
all
over
the
state.
My
dad
traveled
a
lot
with
his
job
and
we
moved
a
lot,
but
I
really
consider
home
being
Tulsa
and
I
grew
up
there
and
actually
that
helped
a
lot
with
my
history
of
Oklahoma
City,
because
I
came
to
this
job
with
a
blank
slate
because
in
Tulsa
you
know
we're
taught
that
it's
such
a
paradise
that
there's
nothing
past
that
yeah.
You
know
the
cross
timbers
and
you
know
Oklahoma
City
is
not
worth
knowing
about.
F
F
F
I've
been
working
with
several
members
of
the
city
government
working
on
the
the
parties
with
celebration
of
the
announce
the
celebration
of
the
founding
of
the
city,
the
city
itself
wasn't
legally
created
for
about
13
15
months
later,
so
we're
celebrating
the
land
run
and
I'm
helping
with
some
of
the
fact-checking
and
the
historical
details
and
we're
doing
a
lot
of
great
stuff.
There's
quite
a
few.
I'm
sure
you'll
talk
about
them
later,
but
a
lot
of
celebrations
all
over
the
city
that
day
well.
F
There's
a
lot
of
I
think
it's
such
a
legend
with
all
of
us
that
we
there's
a
lot
that
we
take
for
granted.
I
learned,
for
example,
I
just
learned
today
in
reviewing
some
notes
that
originally
the
the
people
who
snuck
in
before
the
guns
went
off
and
it
neun
were
called
moonshiners.
They
weren't
called
Sooners
until
much
later
I
guess
that
was
a
little
bit
nicer,
but
they
ran
in
and
the
light
of
the
moon,
so
they
were
called
moonshiners.
F
So
I
think
was
interesting
that
the
number
varies
a
lot
on
how
many
people
were
here,
maybe
five
to
ten
thousand.
It's
a
lot
of
people
that
just
appeared
in
one
one
brief
moment
off
the
Prairie
and
yeah.
It's
it's
pretty
fascinating,
not
a
lot
of
cities,
there's
a
lot
of
cities
that
are
large
like
ours.
That
grew
really
fast,
but
not
very
many
did
we
have
recorded
history
from
the
very
beginning
photographs,
a
lot
of
journals,
journalists,
newspapers
all
that
that
were
present
at
the
beginning.
So
there's.
A
F
In
Oklahoma
City
most
everybody
came
on
the
train
and
they
were
sitting
on.
You
know
some
luxury
cars
and
they
were
sitting
in
chairs
and
they
just
came
right
into
the
city.
There
weren't
a
lot
like
that.
Now
that
represents
the
you
know
the
bulk
of
the
rural
part
of
the
land
run,
which
is
certainly
part
of
it,
but
our
experience
is
quite
a
bit
different
yeah.
So
so.
A
F
Yeah,
that's
that
was
quite
a
scene
of
contention.
Somebody
called
it
the
wildest
and
wiliest
day
in
history
and
because
the
Congress
they
didn't
allow
for
government.
So
there
was,
nobody
to
you
know,
keep
the
key
plot
the
rule
and
keep
order,
and
so
you
had
they
provided
for
town
sites
up
to
I,
think
it
was
300
acres,
but
then
they
didn't
say
who
could
sell
them
or
who
could
have
title
to
them.
So
basically,
a
lot
of
it
was
settled
at
the
point
of
a
gun
so
and
then
they
had
different
surveys.
F
F
Yeah
the
river-
actually,
it
was
not
remotely
as
straight
as
it
is
today,
with
our
improvements
to
it.
It
had
several
bins
and
elbows
and
oxbow
lakes,
and
it
was
in
its
basic
the
path
that
it's
in
basically
now,
but
it's
zigzagged
quite
a
bit
from
where
it
was
now,
but
South
Oklahoma
ended
at
the
river.
It's
interesting
and.
F
F
Think
that
the
bigger
names
would
be
something
like
overholser,
who
was
here
on
day,
one
he
shipped
in
some
prefab
houses,
so
he
had
an
in
businesses.
So
he
had
two
storey
buildings
ready
to
go
like
within
a
couple
of
days
and
he
he
was
probably
the
name
that
you'd
know
most
a
lot
of
the
streets
were
named
after
railroad
officials
and
survey
crew,
members,
and
things
like
that,
so
that
you
know
they
wouldn't
be
as
familiar
to
us
as
say.
Overholser
would
interesa.
A
F
Really
think
that
in
Oklahoma
City
in
particular,
it
really
is
alive
and
well
I.
Think
there
are
a
lot
of
people
like
I
would
say:
Lewis
Kramer
is
not
a
name,
you
would
know,
but
he
had
a
carload
of
potatoes
in
st.
Louis
and
he
couldn't
sell
them
there,
and
so
somebody
said:
hey
just
send
it
down
the
line
which
got
to
Oklahoma
and
he
sold
potatoes
to
a
hungry
population
who
had
no
grocery
stores
or
farms
or
anywhere
to
get
food.
He
made
so
much
money.
He
opened
a
hotel,
he
made.
F
F
Great
well
and
the
the
first
book
I
did
was
called
historic
photos
of
Oklahoma
City,
very
simple
title
and
that's
that's.
What's
inside
historic
photos
and
I
give
a
lot
of
neural
short
vignettes
stories
in
that
book,
and
it's
it's
done
really
well.
I
did
a
couple
of
books
on
outlaws
and
another
one
on
lawmen
in
Oklahoma,
but
my
newest
book
is
the
one
that
I'm
really
excited
about.
F
It
tells
them
well,
he
says
in
the
beginning:
it's
not
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
version.
It's
got
a
lot
of
the
CD
stories,
a
lot
of
gambling
whorehouses.
It's
got
bootleggers
all
the
vice
and
corruption
and
city
government
and
everything
you
can
think
of
that's
kind
of
on
the
darker
underworld
side.
It
sits
in
that
book
and.
F
F
Well,
it
was
it
I,
I
read
a
lot
of
the
stories
and
I
just
found
that
you
know
people
are
people
know,
doesn't
matter
what
era
or
what
time,
and
that
book
is
so
popular
among
the
local
history.
People
not
with
the
general
public,
but
local
historians
know
it
really
well
and
I,
found
that
the
book
was
really
hard
to
read
and
had
a
lot
of
difficult
passages
in
it
and
I
thought
I.
Could
you
know
make
it
more
readable
for
today's
audience
and
I
really
wanted
to
get?
F
F
E
I'm
Sergeant
tompa
keone
laws
about
the
illegal
parking
handicapped
spaces
have
become
a
lot
tougher.
Your
car
can
be
towed
if
you're
parked
in
a
handicapped
parking
zone
without
a
permit
on
display.
Plus
the
new
law
allows
a
two
hundred
fifty
dollar
fine,
ever
notice
the
stripe
lines
next
to
some
handicap
spaces.
It's
illegal
to
park
there
too
that's
basis,
so
my
friend
mark
and
others
who
use
a
wheelchair
can
get
in
and
out.
So
you
don't
have
a
permit
don't
park
in
a
handicap
area.
A
Back
to
the
mayor's
magazine
in
this
segment,
we're
going
to
learn
more
about
what's
being
done
for
Parkinson's
disease
at
Oklahoma,
City
justin
willis
is
the
president
to
the
board
of
directors
of
the
parkinson
foundation.
Welcome
thanks
for
having
me
today.
That's
it
now!
What
how
did
you
get
interested
in
Parkinson's
disease?
Well,.
G
My
father
was
diagnosed
with
Parkinson's
disease
early
in
the
90s,
and
so
I
watched
him
bowel
that
disease
for
a
number
of
years
and
had
a
friend
that
was
connected
to
the
Parkinson's
foundation
here
in
Oklahoma,
City
and
so
I've
met
the
executive
director
Jim
Keating
at
that
point
about
four
years
ago,
and
he
offered
me
the
invitation
to
be
on
the
board
and
I.
Just
absolutely
couldn't
say
no,
it
felt
something
that
you
know.
I
had
to
do
for
my
heart
to
be
able
to
give
back
to
the
Parkinson's
community.
G
A
G
Is
a
great
point
when
I
first
start
working
for
my
company,
there
was
only
one
building
in
the
research
parkway,
and
now
we
have
six
or
seven
buildings
in
that
Parkway
and
they're
involved
in
all
types
of
biotech
research
laboratory
facility.
So
there's
been
a
lot
of
influx
of
new
companies,
new
investment
into
that
into
that
field.
In
that
area
and.
A
Some
people
think
of
research,
as
it's
just
general,
furthering
the
research
feathering
the
science
and
that
leads
to
some
medical
breakthroughs.
They
don't
sometimes
understand
the
job
creation
and
the
spin-off
businesses
that
come
from
that
research
kind
of
expand.
On
that.
What
have
you
seen?
That's
correct.
G
I
I
think
we're
in
this
unique
position
of
being
located
close
to
0
mrf
close
to
the
medical
colleges,
which
a
lot
of
those
students
and
professors
feed
off
ideas
and
form
companies
that
can
grow
and
seed
into
the
research
parkway
there.
So
we've
seen
a
lot
of
development
over
the
last
decade
and
a
half
in
that
specific
area
of
growth.
Okay,.
A
G
Do
it's
our
fourth
annual
walk
in
the
park
event
at
Stars
and
Stripes
park?
It's
May.
Fourth,
at
two
o'clock
on
a
Sunday
like
since
our
fourth
event
we're
really
building
a
lot
of
momentum,
it's
getting
bigger
and
better.
Every
year
now
we
have
a
lot
of
walkers
a
lot
of
runners.
It's
a
one-mile
walk
and
a
5k
timed
event
run,
so
we
offer
something
really
for
all
ages.
Pets
are
welcome,
we'll
have
food
there
we'll
have
music
will
have
face
painting
of
a
bounce
house.
G
You
know
definitely
a
family
type
of
environment,
hopefully
the
thundergirls.
If
we
can
get
them
in
talents
on
the
same
day,
so
we've
got.
We've
got
a
lot
of
the
family
activities
there,
but
it's
a
it's
an
exciting
time
for
us,
one
of
our
biggest
fundraisers
and
it's
a
little
bit
different
format.
What
we
would
encourage
people
to
do
is
go
on
to
our
website
at
Parkinson,
Oklahoma
com,
there's
a
link
on
the
front
page.
G
There
click
on
that
link
and
when
they
go
to
register,
we
would
like
them
to
create
a
team
and
then
on
that
team
reach
out
to
their
family,
their
friends
their
neighbors
and
help
us
raise
money.
For
this
event,
so
we
don't
really
charge
a
fee
for
this
event.
Like
other
races,
it's
not
a
it's,
not
a
pay
and
play
type
thing.
G
What
we'd
like
to
do
is
just
you
know,
create
a
sense
of
awareness
and
in
a
sense
of
education,
about
the
disease,
also
at
the
same
time,
so
we're
building
both
component
send
to
our
registration
and
and
if
they
don't
have
access
online
and
they
can
call
our
office
here
off.
Our
Parkinson's
foundation
office
is
located
in
the
Chesapeake
community,
plaza
here
just
off
of
Wilshire
and
the
northwest
expressway,
and
our
office
number
is
405
8100
695
for
more
information.
What.
A
G
I
think
we're
getting
more
information,
we're
getting
patients
more
involved
in
clinical
trials,
which
leads
to
more
detailed
research
and
more
treatment
options
or
develop
from
that
more
drugs
for
people
to
manage
their
disease
process.
We
hold
annual
conferences
in
Oklahoma,
City
and
Tulsa.
We
rotate
them
a
year
to
year
to
bring
medical
experts
in
with
the
Parkinson's
patients
for
the
state
of
Oklahoma.
Try
to
create
more
awareness
around
new
drugs,
new
therapies,
get
more
participation
from
people
for
clinical
trial
work
and
that's
really
been
a
huge
benefit,
I
believe
to
Oklahomans.
A
Right
well,
Justin
thanks
very
much
for
your
work
on
Parkinson's
and
especially
your
day.
Job
get
involved
in
the
cancer
research
too,
and
I
can
only
imagine
you
know
the
benefits
to
America
as
a
whole,
but
Oklahoma
City,
specifically
to
all
the
projects
that
you're
involved
in.
So
thanks
for
doing
that,
thanks.
A
Sure
justin
willis
is
the
president
board
of
directors
of
the
Parkinson's
Foundation,
and
this
is
our
final
segment
of
the
mayor's
magazine.
So
I
also
want
to
thank
Chuck

system,
reminding
us
that
april.
Twenty
second
is
the
125th

the
city

oklahoma
city's.
I
hope

individually
in
your
own
way.
That's
going
to
do
it
for
this
edition
of
the
mayor's
magazine.
