"I think there's a lot more out there. This is just what the volunteers volun-teers of the museum have donated so far." Morrison said. At the Alf Engen Ski Museum, meanwhile, curators are more ambitious. Eventually, the Olympic collection will occupy 4.000 square feet at the museum. It is the museum muse-um designated by the Salt Lake Organizing Committee to receive its artifacts and is seen as the state's Olympic clearinghouse. David Amidon. the executive director of the ski museum s foundation. "The list is huge of everything we will be getting." Arnidon said. The museum is scheduled to open in May but the Olympic exhibit might not debut for another year. The building will also house" 150-seat aucfiforium. a gift shop and i deli. The ski museum will display exhibits from the entire Olympic region. It will not focus on Park City but. because the city's Olympic role was large, the muse um will feature lots of Park City items. "We have not focused too much on Park City in particular . . . Amidon said. "We feel responsible to tell the whole story." He added: "We're looking larger spectrum than what Sandra is focusing on." Amidon expects the ski museum muse-um to eventually receive lots of items from the organizing committee, com-mittee, such as props from opening open-ing ceremonies, medals, uniforms. uni-forms. Also, he wants pieces from athletes. Amidon hopes to acquire Tristan Gale's skeleton sled and the suit she wore when she won gold and something from Jimmy Shea, another skeleton racer who won gold. "We want to tell the story of the Games. We want to do it in chronological order. We want to highlight each day's events." Amidon said. At'rhe'1 Park City Museum. Morrison describes a. different wishhst: "We're not looking just for the venue stuff. We're looking for Main Street - Park City locals being involved," she said. Local Olympic review: 'It rocked' By JAY HAMBURGER Of the Record staff Winter Olympic accolades are gushing from local government officials, many of whom had key ..roles in Park City's and Summit County's Olympic efforts. , On Monday night - the 'day after the Olympics ended - Mayor ,Dana Williams, the Park City "Council and the Summit County .Commission convened at City Hall to talk about the Games. ; The leaders werenl bashful. .They overwhelmingly stated that .the Olympics were a stellar event and that Park City and Summit County should be happy. "It rocked." Williams declared. City Councilman Jim Hier -added; "All of us know it was way better than we anticipated." In front of a Leadership 2000 class, the elected officials talked about their experiences during the Games. Williams said he talked to leaders from other Utah and out-of-state cities about common issues and that he was happy local residents chose to ride buses during dur-ing the Games There was a list of Olympic successes suc-cesses identified. The transportation transporta-tion system worked well, longtime Olympic detractors had little to complain about and local Olympic planning proved wise, they argued. "Everybody in this town should be proud with how -we came across." Williams said. City Councilman Fred Jones joined the chorus "I certainly could not have envisioned envi-sioned the Games we just had." Jones said. "It went way beyond my expectations and I think most people's expectations" Plus. Park City Public Affairs Director Myles Rademan said, good weather helped. "We were lucky on top of the planning." he said. City Councilwoman Candy Erickson said Park City received lots of good publicity. "We got exactly what we wanted." want-ed." she said, adding that the city could reap long-term benefits from some Olympic sponsors who had a presence locally during the Games. Not everyone in the area benefited, bene-fited, according to the panel. Business in North and South Summit was flat, they said, and, in Park City, not every business did well. "There are winners and losers." Rademan said. Michael Kaplan, the proprietor of Main Street nightclub Mother Urban's, said his nighttime business busi-ness was superb but he does not want to see a letdown this month. "We have March now - our busiest month." Kaplan said There were a few complaints Monday night. City Councilwoman Peg Bodell. for instance, said Park City-area athletes ath-letes who competed in the Games could have been celebrated more than they were and outsiders were drafted to tend to warming fires. Now. the city appears poised to conduct what's being called a 'community vision exercise during dur-ing which the government will ask citizens about what is important to them in the future. That will probably prob-ably occur in the spring or summer. sum-mer. "The community vision thing will be one of the biggest things coming from us to you."
