inner, a drink and a movie could soon be an all-in-one affair, if Oklahoma’s Legislature and governor approve. A law change to make that possible is being pursued by an Oklahoma City land owner and developer, plus the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber. They argue it would be a natural step to take as part of voters’ approval of State Question 792. It also could bring at least one new commercial development to Oklahoma City. Hogan Property Co.

Fidelity Assurance Co. seek to develop about 100 acres fronting the Broadway Extension, north of Wilshire Boulevard, on the south edge of American Fidelity’s property. The project, bordered by the Broadway Extension frontage road on the west and NE 82 on the south, could bring an entertainment village with offices, a hotel or two and perhaps multifamily housing. But its main anchor hopefully would be a Flix Brewhouse, which bills itself as the world’s only first run cinema-eatery-microbrewery. Flix combines the latest Hollywood productions with custom crafted beers and food
served “in theater,” on an a la carte basis. The first Flex Brewhouse opened in Round Rock, Texas, in 2011. Randy Hogan, Hogan Property’s CEO, said the project, if built, would be a “nice alternative” to traditional theater experiences Oklahomans enjoy now. “But right now, we just can’t pull it off with the way our laws are,” Hogan said. “If the law is changed, then we have a good chance of getting our project developed.”

HOUSE BILL 2186
CITY NEWS
THEATERS CONTINUED FROM 4
BILL REMAINS ALIVE Earlier this session, bills in the Oklahoma House of Representatives and one in Oklahoma Senate addressed the issue. House Bill 2186 authored by state Reps. Cory Williams, D-Stillwater, and Katie Henke, R-Oklahoma City, and co-authored by state Sen. David Holt, R-Oklahoma City, remained alive this week. If adopted, permits could be issued to theaters to sell beer and mixed beverages without requiring those services to be segregated into an adult-only environment. The measure would treat movie theaters in the same way other public spaces such as arenas and outdoor baseball stadiums are treated now. Hogan said Flix Brewhouse representatives intended to visit legislators this week to discuss the pending law change. Warren Theatres currently serves alcohol at its Moore theater, but only to those seated in an adults-only balcony. The issue also was being discussed by the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber in a larger context of modernizing liquor laws, and by a lobbyist representing American Fidelity. Sen. Holt said allowing movie theaters to sell alcoholic beverages is a good idea. “It isn’t causing any problems in other states,” he said. “Plus, it helps with our economic growth.” While Holt said he couldn’t get the senate bill heard by the Senate Business and Commerce Committee, he added he remains hopeful. If the House returns a live measure to the Senate, Holt said he’ll try to get it heard again. “It’s a no-brainer for me.”
THE CONCEPT Matt Silvers, senior vice president of real estate and brand development for FlixEntertainment, LLC, said successful movie theater environments operate much like a big restaurant. Each Flix Brewhouse has eight to nine screens, typically, and Silvers said the firm never builds a location with more than 10, as it considers itself to be more of a boutique concept that is following an industry
LOOKATOKC.COM

Each Flix Brewhouse also has an on-site brewery turning out handcrafted beers. Plus, within each auditorium, each seat has its own retractable table a patron can dine upon both before and during a show. “It just seems that if you are going to eat really good food while watching a movie, you have to have an appropriate place to eat,” he said. “From our perspective, it makes for a fantastic eating experience. We put a lot of effort into our food. It is very much on par with the California Pizza Kitchen.” Silvers said patrons are encouraged to seat themselves about a half-hour before a show starts, and then order from a menu at each table using a call button to summon a server. Patrons also can order additional beers or a desert while the main feature is playing by filling out a sheet from a pre-order pad servers collect, when summoned. As the servers work, they pass in front of patrons on a stepped-down level to avoid spoiling the view. “If everything goes according to plan, depending on how busy we are, your food will come out to your seat in 10 or 20
minutes, just like in a regular restaurant,” Silvers said. And, while there is light to see by to enjoy your meal (even after a show starts), Silvers said the menu appreciates the environment. “You wouldn’t want too much cutting or forking,” he said. “It’s hand-held food, mainly. A lot of pizzas, a lot of sandwiches, and a lot of wraps.” Additionally, the plates used by Flix are made of a dark plastic resin which muffles sounds to keep ambient noise to a minimum. It offers six unique, Flix-crafted beers year-round, a range of popular regional varieties and specialty and seasonal craft beers.
LOOKING TO EXPAND Silvers said Flix Brewhouse is excited about the renaissance of both Oklahoma City and Tulsa, believing its concept would work well in each of those communities. “If the law were to change, Flix would enthusiastically embrace Oklahoma,” he said, adding the firm has evaluated Hogan’s plan and sees its potential. He said a Flix Brewhouse not only brings new entertainment options to
local residents, but also added sales tax revenues and jobs. Silvers said each Flix employs between 150 and 200, as its kitchen is designed to crank out 800 to 900 meals in an hour. “We are a very strong employer for a box that’s only 38,000 square feet in size. There are an awful lot of people in there working away.” Since the first Flix Brewhouse opened, it’s launched others in Des Moines, Iowa, Carmel, Indiana and Albuquerque, New Mexico, and expects to open one near Dallas late this year. Others are planed in Wisconsin and Arizona the following year. Silvers said recently that he’s hopeful Oklahoma’s law will change. “With all the fantastic things happening in Oklahoma City and in Tulsa, you’d like to think these laws could be freshened up to be more in keeping with the current of society in the 21st century,” he said. Hogan agreed, noting various concepts could work here if the law were changed. “Variety is the spice of life,” he said. “Warren Theatre has its balcony. That’s one approach. But there are a number of other approaches that really are creative and that could spur a lot of other development.”

UTHRIE — Oklahoma’s a small world cinematically speaking. When producer and director Harvey Lowry returned to Guthrie last month to film “Southern Christmas,” he knew what to expect. Lowry was here a couple of years ago to shoot another movie, “Monday at 11:01 A.M.” His team hired the same gaffer, makeup artists, grips and transportation crew for the festive, family-friendly production. “The crews out here are really skilled and trained well,” Lowry told LOOKatOKC on set. “They love what they do. That makes it a very smooth production. A lot of the local talent that we’ve been using for acting ... they’ve all been great. I’m happy to say we’re already talking about the third movie to come out (to Oklahoma). Maybe soon.” One of the film’s principal talents grew up only a few hours away from the Guthrie set.

‘SOUTHERN CHRISTMAS’
FILMING CONTINUED FROM 7 time at home in Nashville with his wife and three kids, but with “Southern Christmas” he’s branching out. It’s his debut film performance, but the role isn’t a huge stretch. “My character is pretty much 75 or 80 percent there,” Rooney said on set. “It’s kinda my life. Jim Wilkins is in my DNA, basically. The vagabond, spirited musician side is definitely myself, and I know what it’s like to be on the road. With Rascal Flatts, I’ve been doing it for almost 17 years now. ... The time away from home, with having kids and a family, can be a grind. There’s so much fun to be had with it though.” “Southern Christmas” wrapped production in March and has a tentative November theatrical release date. The film’s plot involves Rooney learning that he has an estranged daughter in Oklahoma. He returns home for an introduction. “He has a new purpose in life, a new reason to live,” Rooney said. “He’s excited about the new adventure to go home to Guthrie and meeting this daughter for the first time. It’s really powerful and really incredible for both of them.” “Southern Christmas” was predominantly shot in Guthrie. Sets in Stillwater and Edmond will also appear in the movie. Paula Trickey (“Pacific Blue”) and Christian Kane (“Leverage”) are among the film’s Okie acting talent. “Southern Christmas” also welcomes Christopher Rich (“Reba”), Rooney’s wife, Tiffany Fallon (“The Girls Next Door”), Bo Derek (“10”) and Shelley Long (“Cheers”).
TRAINING DAY “Southern Christmas” hired a crew of roughly 80 filmmakers. Most of them spent the chilly February morning dodging a train. It was shooting day 11 of the 20, and the camera was fixated on a classic Chevrolet C-10 and working around a nearby train crew. The shining green vehicle was the star until Judy Wilkins (Long), Jim Wilkins (Rooney) and Kara Gentry (Sierra McCormick) walked into the scene.

The tension broke after McCormick hopped in Chevy and honked the horn. The train crew passed and filming resumed. Rooney, sporting a toothpick and a beat up cowboy hat, gave the young teenager car keys. Judy isn’t thrilled with her driving, but they all squeeze into the truck and
head to a soup kitchen. Everyone hit their marks, and it was time to break for lunch.
MADE IN OKLAHOMA Director Lowry and Rooney walked into a dining hall down the street from the train tracks and sat across from each other. They discussed how comfortable the filming location felt, and how the movie landed in Guthrie.

“The town itself is beautiful,” Lowry said. “Sorta like the land that time forgot. While I was filming ‘Monday at 11:01 A.M.,’ I started thinking about this one and how perfect this town would be suited for a small-town Christmas movie. When this film got greenlit, it was an easy decision to come back here.” Both of Lowry’s recent productions qualified for the Oklahoma Film Enhancement Rebate, which provides rebates to filmmakers amounting to roughly $1 for every $3 they spend on production in Oklahoma. The rebate caps out at $5 million annually. The director said the rebate weighed heavily in the decision to shoot in Guthrie. “Originally, this project was scheduled to shoot in Texas, but the incentive program is pretty weak. I think it’s only 17 or 20 percent now. It’s 37 percent cash rebate in Oklahoma. Without it, it probably would’ve stayed in Texas.” Lowry said that without a rebate, Oklahoma would become a flyover state for filmmakers. The state is surrounded by competitive incentive programs. “It’s a harsh thing to say,” Lowry admitted. “What it comes down to is being fiscally responsible with your financier’s money and being able to offer him that guarantee and that sorta protection against an investment is critical. ... When you think about it, we probably get a few hundred thousand dollars back, but we’re spending a couple million in the state. You gotta look at the big picture. There’s a few states that have gone and repealed theirs and really hurt their own economy.” Lowry used Michigan as an example. The state had a strong incentive for filmmakers but halted the rebate in 2015. “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” was the last big budget film to shoot in Michigan. “They were a boom town, and now it’s a ghost town,” Lowry said. “It would be really tragic if Oklahoma got rid of theirs. You look at this room, everybody here is working because of (your) incentive program.” Rooney added: “It’s really awesome to see the arts alive in Oklahoma like it is. People are on fire for it right now. It’s cool and so neat to be a part of this project because of all that. The future is really bright for this part of Oklahoma. It really is. I only seeing it only going up from here.”

‘KONG: SKULL ISLAND’
For LOOKatOKC
Like an ape nimbly traversing the trees, “Kong: Skull Island” boasts excellent equilibrium for such a sprawling movie. In his first foray into big-budget filmmaking, director Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ (“Nick Offerman: American Ham”) balances King Kong movie lore with a new take on the frequently filmed gargantuan, action-packed escapism with political allegory, and breathtakingly realistic computergenerated beasties with the heart-stopping natural beauty of Vietnam, Hawaii and Australia. The three screenwriters skillfully blend tongue-incheek humor, creature-feature scares, gruesomely squishy death scenes and a blessedly light touch of romance. Set in 1973, the newest movie about the “eighth wonder of the world” stands solidly on its own while expanding on the MonsterVerse established by 2014’s great “Godzilla” reboot. Setting up 2019’s “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” and 2020s “Godzilla vs. Kong,” “Skull Island” hits some of the same storytelling beats as “Godzilla”

without feeling like a monster-swapping retread. Supersized for future Godzilla faceoffs, this Kong is far too big to scale any skyscrapers, and the new film is all the better for keeping the king on his island kingdom. With the cast ably filling out the thinly sketched characters, the movie deftly assembles its motley crew of humans, led by Bill Randa (John Goodman), head of the shadowy monster-hunting Monarch project. He capitalizes on the chaos at the end of the Vietnam War to snag funding for an expedition to an uncharted island uncovered with new satellite technology. Along with his team of scientists, Randa recruits James Conrad (Tom Hiddleston), a former British
military officer working as a tracker, and Mason Weaver (Brie Larson), a seasoned photojournalist who smells a story. Before they head home from Vietnam, the war-weary members of the U.S. Army Sky Devils helicopter squadron are tasked with transporting the Monarch team to Skull Island. Unfortunately, their embittered leader Lt. Col. Preston Packard (Samuel L. Jackson) is a veritable Ahab in search of a whale, and he finds a war he thinks he can win when the squad inadvertently provokes Kong into a thrilling cinematic rampage. Downed on the jungle island, the survivors must hike to their pickup point while dodging titanic spiders, colossal octopi and the nastiest critters of them all, the sizable and speedy reptiles known as “skull crawlers.” The fanciful name is provided by Lt. Hank Marlow (John C. Reilly), a fighter pilot who crash-landed on the island during World War II and beat the grim survival odds after befriending the stoic Iwi natives. Between Reilly’s scene stealing — his character gives the story a satisfying through line — and the bigger, more heroic Kong, “Skull Island” is more fun than a humongous barrel of monkeys.

‘LOGAN’
Oklahoma City lands a starring role in
‘LOGAN’ BY NATHAN POPPE LOOKatOKC Editor
Between slashing countless baddies on his way to the top of the box office, Hugh Jackman’s “Logan” spent a lot of time in Oklahoma. Sort of. Much of the latest “X-Men” movie installment took place in a futurized Oklahoma City. Set in 2029, the movie follows an aged Wolverine as he snakes his way from Texas toward Canada with a sickly Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and Logan’s genetically engineered daughter Laura (Dafne Keen). It’s a family road trip film with gas station pit stops and bloody claws. Oklahoma is no stranger to “X-Men” movie connections. Stillwater-born actor James Marsden played Cyclops in a handful of entries. Oklahoma City native Olivia Munn suited up as the evil Psylocke in 2016’s “X-Men: Apocalypse.” Jackman also portrayed Curly McLain in the Royal National Theatre’s stage production of “Oklahoma!” and in a film version before clawing his way through 2000’s “X-Men.” But Oklahoma City lands a starring role in “Logan.” As far as I could tell, nearly a third of the film is set inside and near the state’s capital. I heard my theater crowd murmur as Logan drove past an OKC city limits road sign and then parked in front of a bustling Harrah’s hotel and casino. It felt obvious these scenes weren’t shot in Oklahoma City. Only in a Hollywood outing would OKC look that big. The excess of neon lights, tall buildings and huge skyline was a giveaway that it was shot in either Louisiana or New Mexico. The movie credits revealed both those states hosted a majority of “Logan’s” filming. I’m guessing the casino scenes were shot in New Orleans.

‘LOGAN’ CONTINUED FROM 11 It’s hard to tell exactly where the film goes after Logan, Professor X and Laura stop watching “Shane” on TV and exit the sprawling casino, but one shot re-established the film near Oklahoma City and Ada. Maybe the scene was shot in between moving sets from Louisiana and New Mexico. A mileage road sign is a dead giveaway and almost makes me believe it was real and not digitally re-created. The sign lists both Oklahoma cities, and there’s a psychedelic, picturesque sunset painting a scene’s

backdrop. Maybe it’s Oklahoma pride that makes me think only our sunsets look that beautiful. But honestly, it could’ve been anywhere. Several scenes near a farmhouse reconnected a possible Oklahoma setting. Logan calls a brooding posse of Western clothing enthusiasts a bunch of “Okie d--- heads.” Jackman’s character won’t receive any points for creative put-downs, but he makes his point clear after head-butting the gang’s leader and breaking a shotgun over his metallic knee. “Logan” doesn’t show off much an actual Oklahoma City, but it’s surprising to see how much time the movie spends here. I’d argue it’s the longest duration a blockbuster film has spent in Oklahoma since “Twister.” That blockbuster turned 20 last year.
2013’s “August Osage County” gives “Logan” a run for its money with local runtime, but a considerably wider audience is going to experience the comic book adaptation. “Logan” is also more than a universal critical success. It stands at an impressive 93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie opened No. 1 at the box office when it opened and has snagged a worldwide gross of nearly $500 million. If you go to this one, leave the family at home. It’s by far one of the most violent comic book flicks to date and leaves Okies with more injuries than I have time to describe. At the end of the day, it’s pretty cool to play host to one of the world’s most recognizable film franchises. It definitely makes up for “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.”

Getting medieval Portraits from Oklahoma’s biggest costume party STORY & PHOTOS BY DOUG HOKE For LOOKatOKC
It’s about time for one of the most exciting visual events of each year. I’m passionate about photography and believe I’m most successful when I can capture people pursuing their passion. Norman’s Medieval Fair is full of people who put their hearts into the weekend. During last year’s fair, I took a pure portrait approach. I wanted to do portraits with a timeless quality, so I used black and white for the final images. I also wanted to really focus in on the faces since they were portraits. As visual as the fair is, it can be too busy. So, I used a tilt-shift portrait lens to make sure their faces were sharp, while everything else faded away. Experience has taught me at events the size of the fair, you can walk miles and not get much, so I positioned myself between some high-traffic areas and let people come to me. When I saw someone I wanted to take a portrait of, I stopped them and asked if they would pose for me. No one declined. I ended up taking 116 portraits in one afternoon. Here are some of my favorite photos.

FROM THE START, OKLAHOMA’S MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM HAS TREATED PATIENTS ...
Without care BY JACLYN COSGROVE For LookatOKC

“
I apprehend that aside from the savings in cost, it will be more desirable in every respect to have these unfortunates cared for near their friends and relatives and by citizens of the Territory.”
GOV. WILLIAM C. RENFROW IN HIS 1895 ADDRESS TO THE OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE
Even before Oklahoma was a state, leaders grappled with how to provide care to residents with mental illnesses. By wagon, by horse, on foot, by train, thousands of people flooded into the Oklahoma Territory during the late 1800s. And with that deluge of people came a need for a mental health system. At first, Oklahoma Territory leaders sent residents with mental illnesses away, by train to Illinois. But in 1895, leaders decided that was too expensive — $17,000 over the previous two years just to transport the residents. It was one of the costliest expenses in the territory’s budget. “I apprehend that aside from the savings in cost, it will be more desirable in every respect to have these unfortunates cared for near their friends and relatives and by citizens of the Territory,” Gov. William C. Renfrow wrote in his 1895 address to the Legislature. Renfrow had decided it was time to bring these residents back to receive treatment in Norman at a private psychiatric hospital. That was the inception of Oklahoma’s mental health system. Unknowingly, Renfrow had shared the same sentiment that eventually would change the nation’s mental health system: the idea that residents should receive treatment close to home. If territory leaders had embraced the concept of treating Oklaho-
mans in communities where they lived, the mental health system would look much different today. Instead, residents were warehoused in large psychiatric hospitals, and for decades, many communities lacked any available mental health care. After those hospitals were closed, Oklahoma leaders claimed they would invest in community mental health care. That did not happen. Instead, in present-day Oklahoma, a fractured, arguably underfunded mental health system is suffocating. But in a state that hasn’t made a sustained, significant investment in its mental health system, the majority of low-income, uninsured Oklahomans with mental illnesses and substance abuse disorders who need help do not get it. For decades, federal researchers and state officials have warned of the consequences of not making a long-term investment in mental health, and for decades, those warnings have been largely ignored. Almost 80 years ago, the National Mental Hospital Survey Committee published a report that noted that Oklahoma would save money if it invested in its mental health system. “Whatever the future may bring,” the report concluded, “Oklahoma cannot look on itself with pride until provision is made for adequate care of its mentally helpless citizens.” That was in 1937.

PATIENTS TREATED AS ‘INCURABLES’ Today, Griffin Memorial Hospital in Norman serves as a shortterm, psychiatric hospital, largely for low-income, uninsured residents suffering from mental health crises. It can hold up to 120 patients and is usually full, although patients are continually discharged quickly. The hospital’s namesake, Dr. David W. Griffin, came to Oklahoma in 1899, fresh out of medical school in Virginia. The hospital sat on a few acres of land, with some small wooden cottages and a store building that served as the administration building. There were 362 patients. Early upon arrival, Griffin noticed that, on the stone gates of the hospital, it read, “For The Violent Insane.” He chiseled it off himself. Griffin did not like the term insane, and he often stressed to the public that Oklahomans with mental illnesses and substance use disorders could find recovery — if given proper care. He forbid anyone in the hospital from using the word “crazy.” During the next several years, Griffin repeatedly asked for money to expand the hospital and hire enough staff to treat patients. He found some success — but only after a fire broke out at the hospital in 1918 and killed 40 patients. The hospital’s buildings were upgraded then, but even so, during the next 25 years, state hospitals would fall into disrepair. Griffin started his job at a time when mental health advocacy groups did not widely exist. “Like so many pioneers, he labored for years practically alone,” columnist Edith Johnson noted in The Daily Oklahoman in 1953. Many of the mental health system’s struggles went unnoticed until 1946, when Mike Gorman, a journalist at The Daily Oklahoman, wrote a series of stories, highlight-

ing shameful, tragic conditions at the hospitals. In the 1940s, Oklahoma ranked No. 45 per capita in the amount of money the state spent per patient. And within the southwest region of the United States, Oklahoma spent the least on its patients. For example, in 1943, the Norman state hospital spent an average of $16.87 per patient per month. Meanwhile, at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary, it was $24.18 per inmate per month. And at the tuberculosis treatment facility in Talihina, the average monthly patient expenditure was $57.54 per month. Gorman visited each of the Oklahoma psychiatric hospitals, which were segregated at that time. White patients went to Central State Hospital in Norman, Eastern State Hospital in Vinita, and Western State Hospital in Fort Supply. Black patients went to the Taft State Hospital for the Negro Insane in the small eastern Oklahoma town of Taft. Each hospital was overcrowded and understaffed. Regardless of how hard physicians, nurses and attendants worked, they could not LOOKATOKC.COM

possibly address the magnitude of illness at each facility, Gorman wrote. “The seclusion rooms on this floor would frighten even the state legislators who begrudge present appropriations for state mental hospitals,” Gorman wrote. “Caged in small rooms with a peep-hole slit in the door, many of these patients grovel nakedly about on a cold stone floor.” Gorman was a proponent of the state building a hospital that would treat a range of patients, largely on an outpatient basis. It would offer free care to the poor, and social workers would help patients find the resources they needed, while helping them develop a self-care plan to help prevent future crises. “Over the years, thousands of Oklahoma’s mentally ill have been relegated to the ranks of the incurables because we have had no hospital to treat mental illness during the stage when it can be cured — the first few months after its onset,” Gorman wrote. PROGRESS, DELAYED From the 1940s into the 1960s, Oklahoma spent less than nearly all other states on mental health, according to historical documents. At the same time, other states were seeing progress in converting their hospitals into less restrictive environments. This was possible, in part, because some of the first antipsychotics were released. In 1953, Dr. Hayden Donahue was selected as the first director of the state’s Mental Health Department. During the next few decades, the Oklahoma-born physician would become one of the most respected psychiatrists in America. When Donahue, 40, started his job, there were 8,620 patients in Oklahoma’s four psychiatric hospitals. After Donahue’s first year as director, the patient death rate
declined 27 percent, and “for the first time in history, more patients were discharged than admitted,” according to Oklahoma State Medical Association archives. Donahue hired and trained more staff, and he ended the use of prefrontal lobotomies and punitive electroshock treatments. But after seven years in his job, Donahue felt bitter about the lack of energy for reforming Oklahoma’s mental health system. He resigned and moved to Little Rock, Arkansas. “After a time, the Legislature gets to looking at you and says, ‘We got you straightened out. Now it’s education’s turn or somebody else’s,’” Donahue told a reporter for the Oklahoma State Medical Association’s magazine. But Donahue returned. In 1961, he worked again for the state Mental Health Department and helped lead a major change for Oklahoma: the first community mental health center in the nation. In October 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed the Community Mental Health Act, and Oklahoma was miraculously first to strike, opening its center in March 1967 on the grounds of Central State Griffin Memorial Hospital. A place like this could be built in any community, Donahue told a U.S. Senate subcommittee in 1969. “With a network of centers across the country,” Donahue said, “I believe that many of the mentally ill who have previously been destined to vegetate for decades in custodial state hospitals can be enabled to lead socially useful and productive lives in their home communities.” CRACKS IN THE SYSTEM When Terry Cline moved back to Oklahoma to serve as the state’s mental health commissioner in 2001, a big job awaited him. The Legislature had been at odds with the department after arguments and alleged scandals about money

EPIDEMIC, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19 and politics, and the three commissioners before Cline each had resigned. Meanwhile, then Gov. Frank Keating had decided it was time for Oklahoma to close Eastern State Hospital in Vinita. But as Eastern State began downsizing, the cracks in Oklahoma’s mental health system began to show. Suicide rates increased in Tulsa. Emergency rooms were swamped with patients suffering from mental health crises. Downtown Tulsa businesses reported a doubling in the homeless population. And the
Tulsa County jail’s medical unit was full of psychiatric patients, according to The Oklahoman Archives. At one point, a sheriff showed up at Eastern State with someone suffering from a mental health crisis and handcuffed them to the hospital’s gates, forcing the hospital to admit the person. “So that’s what I inherited,” said Cline, who later served as head of the federal mental health agency. “It was bad, and it’s because we hadn’t built up the community-based system before we shut the hospitals. That was the problem.” A FAILING SAFETY NET The state mental health system is supposed to serve as a safety net for Oklahomans who cannot afford care.

Between 700,000 and 950,000 adult Oklahomans need services, but most are not receiving the care they need to fully recover from their illnesses. One of the barriers they face, because of how treatment is currently funded, is that someone has to be “sick enough” to get care at a
community mental health center. Thousands are turned away because, even though they want help, their symptoms are not serious enough to meet criteria. “It’s ridiculous,” said Verna Foust, Red Rock Behavioral Health Services CEO. “It’s like a diabetic being told, ‘Well you’re really not sick enough, but when you’re close to a diabetic coma, then come in and we’ll help you.’” But the backlog for care doesn’t end there. The waiting list for statefunded residential substance abuse treatment is more than 800 people long. Without care, many struggle. Mental health leaders and advocates say that low-income, uninsured Oklahomans with mental illnesses and substance use disorders are at a heightened risk of becoming homeless, being arrested or dying by suicide. When Oklahoma closed its large, long-term psychiatric hospitals, the state filled its prisons with a similar population. “That’s the tragedy in this story — that’s how we’ve really replaced the old state hospital system because we haven’t invested at the level we need
to invest in at the community service level,” said Mike Brose, Mental Health Association Oklahoma CEO. In 2015, more than half of the inmates in Oklahoma Department of Corrections custody — a total of 16,867 people — either had a history of mental illness or current symptoms. Many are in prison for nonviolent drug offenses. “We are still, to me, going backward,” said Janna Morgan, DOC’s chief mental health officer. “We continue to bring people into the system who would be better served prior to prison, which is disappointing.” It costs an average of $2,150 a year for the mental health department to provide services to an Oklahoman in need. The cost to imprison an inmate with serious mental illness? $23,000 per year. Commissioner Terri White, of the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, has repeatedly referenced those cost differences in her presentations to lawmakers. And overall, after almost 10 years as commissioner, White has started to see a better understanding of the importance of treating mental

A familiar looking set of ruby slippers are placed almost primly on a dais, waiting to be artfully arranged under glass. But the sequined red shoes aren’t the fanciest footwear dressing up Science Museum Oklahoma’s smART Space galleries these days. Star-spangled boots crafted from LED fabric are a battery charge away from literally lighting up their display, Nike knockoffs made from old computer parts look poised to run off their stand, and a veritable flock of high heels shaped like a flamingo, a raven and a goose are perched in glass case instead of a gilded cage. Whether they have laces or not, shoes are a common element that ties us together in this day and age. “We wear them every day. We’ve been wearing them since we were born. But sometimes we overlook what goes into what we wear,” said Scott Henderson, director of the museum’s smART Space. Shoes that are works of art — as well as works of art about shoes — are featured in the exhibition “Sole Expression: The Art of the Shoe.” SEE SHOES, 23

INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION

“Sole Expression” features 25 shoe designers and artists from across the state, country and globe. Henderson said he was inspired to slip into a shoe exhibit after seeing the work of Oklahoma City artist Hugh Meade. For the exhibit, the owner and designer of Oddfab Design Lab contributed a set of black heels adorned with Legos, including minifigures that provide extra height. “I came across Hugh’s shoes, and I thought, ‘Wow, that’s fascinating that you can do something sculptural that’s also relatable.’ So from then on, I just started discovering these sort of fanciful shoes,” Henderson said. “I think this is something that everybody will be able to relate to,” he added. “Women, men, all will find interest in this. All ages, not just kids but adults, too. How often do you get to see something like this?” The eye-popping footwear on view includes Israeli designer Costa Magarakis’ birdlike heels, Turkish textile artist Suhandan Ozay Demirkan’s curvy take on traditional fiber slippers, English cardboard crafter Mark O’Brien’s pasteboard clogs, Indianapolis upcycling expert Gabriel Dishaw’s sneakers built from outdated technology, and Dutch designer Amber Ambrose Aurele high-fashion kicks like pumps dressed up with ponytails and boots decorated with illuminating constellations. Among the international array of shoe designers is Guthrie-based bespoke cowboy boot maker Lisa Sorrell, along with her 19-year-old daughter Paige Sorrell, who has been making ladies dress shoes since she was 12. “Boot making is a dying breed.

ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS “Sole Expression” consists of six segments ranging from how shoes have been interpreted in art and literature throughout history to local artists’ reflections on their relationships with shoes. Henderson said he has been planning the exhibit for about two years. “I’ve just kind of been developing it slowly. I knew it was going to be a tough one to do just because there’s so much content. There’s so much you can focus on with shoes. But I just wanted to do shoes in art and shoes as art,” he said. Along with sculptural shoes, the exhibit features photographs of familiar images like the Batman logo formed out of toy

to submit works that expressed their relationships with shoes. Douglas Shaw Elder sculpted a veritable menagerie of tiny shoes and animals out of aluminum foil, while Marilyn Artus incorporated images of 364 pairs of shoes onto an American flag design. Nick Bayer was inspired by the hippopotamus-shaped shoe he crafted for his mom back when he was in second grade. Gayle Curry also used her childhood memories as inspiration for her project, titled “Walking in Their Shoes.” “When I was little … I’d go into my mom’s closet and I’d get her high heels and a dress. And then I’d play dress-up and stand in front of the mirror and walk around in these big shoes that swallowed me up. It’d make me feel special, and I think shoes, for me, have the power to take you into another realm,” Curry said. An encaustic painter and printmaker, Curry uses layers of melted wax to create her artwork, and “Sole Expression” gave her the chance to take her favorite technique 3-D. She found dressy shoes at thrift stores and brushed on layers of the colorful melted wax. “It just takes a while to build up all the layers … to get that textured look,” Curry said. “I was excited about trying to use the wax in a more three-dimensional (way). It lends itself very well to it. It has all kinds of possibility. That’s why I love wax. It’s not one-dimensional in any way.”
INSIDE VIEW Shoes designed by Indianapolis artist Gabriel Dishaw shoes; they are a team effort of Dutch artists Liza Snook, who runs the Virtual Shoe Museum and creates the arrangements, and Charlotte Visser, who photographs the designs. Maine painter Kelly Jo Shows puts shoes on canvas, but she’s not painting just any old pair of sneaks. “She writes famous artists a letter and asks them to send a pair of their shoes, and then she paints them. So it’s kind of a portrait of the artist,” Henderson said. “She did one of her shoes, so it’s a self-portrait. “Shoes say a lot about who you are.”
LOCAL LOOKS Along with the Sorrells and Meade, Henderson invited several Oklahoma artists
“Sole Expression” is the second exhibit to go on view in the main smART Space gallery, which opened in 2016 as part of the museum’s two-year, multimilliondollar, indoor-outdoor renovation. The exhibition will be on view through next January, and it will include hands-on elements like an interactive shoe design table and a touch wall where visitors can see and feel the various materials that go into make hiking boots, running shoes and other footwear. Henderson said he even went next door to the Oklahoma City Zoo’s new hospital and used an X-ray machine to give people an inside view at shoes. “Hopefully, they’ll have a new appreciation for the shoe and maybe look at what they wear a little bit differently … and maybe they’ll go out and design something themselves,” he said.

arker Millsap knew he was home. In a packed Sooner Theatre, the native Okie songwriter performed to a full house. His friends and family were peppered throughout the sold-out crowd. How could I tell? One of Millsap's cousins requested a song and shouted a thank you from the back of the venue. The night also was full of tight performances and a rowdy room. Well, as rowdy as a seated venue can get. Roughly 450 patrons celebrated Millsap's return as he weaved through his entire discography and dusted off a couple rarities for familial fans. The Nashville-based performer stuck around all weekend and surprised Norman with a follow-up performance at The Deli. That's where Millsap cut his teeth with a lengthy residence before catching national attention with his stellar record, "The Very Last Day," and relocating to Music City. Concert opener Travis Linville delivered a full-band performance that paired well with Millsap's fiddlecentric four piece. Both bands were able to fill up a lot of space and made it look effortless. Millsap's quartet is so tight and energetic that I nearly forgot his record's title track is about the apocalypse. Come back home any time, Millsap.

Since the early 20th century, photographers have crafted images that hinge on the idea of the uncanny, a psychological phenomenon existing, according to psychoanalysis, at the intersection between the reassuring and the threatening, the familiar and the new. The photographs in this exhibition build subtle tensions based on the idea of the uncanny as a sense of displacement, as a difficulty in reconciling the familiar with the unknown.
