Show The Salt Lake Tribune UTAH Sunday, May28, 1995 Olympics: couldn't find the time Welch and Joklik have similar itineraries planned for the campaign’s final three weeks. In fact, the three are on the road so much that they have had Bid Backers Work Nonstop to turn in their passports at least once to have additional, accordionlike pages pasted into the well-stamped books. But while the tric has beenliving out of airports and suitcases, Hamson and other paid staff members and volunteers are caughtup in a whirlwind of their own during the past few months: trips to the airport to meet the IOC visitors and serve their every whim. 10C membership brings with it first-class worldwide travel and VIP treatment at someoneelse’s & Continued from B-1 the job can be accomplished, says Dave Johnson, the bid effort's vice president. “You just do it,” he says, “Actually, most of us are operating purely on adrenalin. The 16th is pretty final.” Johnson and the movement's other top executives — Welch and Chairman Frank Joklik — maintain an international travel schedule that puts them ona first-name basis with border guards, flight attendants and customsagents. Since January, for example, Johnson hasvisited Switzerland, England, Quebec, Norway, Denmark, Monte Carlo, Korea, France and Monaco. He leaves Monday for a twoweek trip that will take him to 11 countries on three continents before he reaches Budapest. Johnson’s one regret? ‘‘I couldn't get to Mongolia to visit the IOC memberthere,” he says. It would take a weekto get there, visit for a day and return.“I just expense. That treatment ranges from gifts, personal drivers and tour guides, to rooms in luxury hotels and gourmet meals; not to mention helicopter rides and oneon-one meetings with governors, mayors, and top business and community leaders. In fact, Salt Lake City bid boosters spent an average of $15,000 for each IOC member's three-day visit. That price tag included air fare andthe costs associated with hosting the visitor and a guestofthevisitor's choice, usually a spouse. Consider the job of Pate, Leavitt Picks New Director “TBid Committee President] Tom [Welch] is in town so rarely that when he’s here, everyone wants a piece of him. I have to catch him onthefly; we usually talk standing up because neither one of us hastimeto sit down.”? Of Utah Transportation Welch’s secretary, who joined Salt Lake City’s campaign for the 1998 Winter Olympics, won in June 1991 by Nagano, Japan. Lately, she has been coming to workat 11 a.m. becauseshe often works at home from 10:30 p.m. until 3 a.m. calling IOC members, and U.S. embassies and consulates across the globe. She expedites visa requests for visiting IOC members and deals with embassyofficials, including U.S. ambassadors, who have been asked by the State Departmentto help boost Salt Lake City’s candidacy. “As hectic and frantic asit is, I hate to see it end,” says Pate. ShouldSalt Lake City win the bid, she realizes the dynamics within what is now a small campaign staff will change in the face of a larger,better-financed organizing engineer with oversight of the state’s $400 million highway construction program. The departmentis responsible for more than 6,000 miles of roadway and has a staff of 4,300 employees. Prior to his work in Arizona transportation, Warne worked for the Army Corps of Engineers. Warne is known nationally for his expertise in Partnering and Total Quality Management. He recently authored a book, “Partnering for Success.” The new director earned a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Brigham Young University and a master’s degree in civil engineering from Arizona State University. Warneis a registered professional engineerin Arizona Warne’s appointment has been approved by the Transportation Commission andwill be submitted to the Utah Senate for confirmation on June 21. He is scheduled Gov. Mike Leavitt has appointed Thomas R. Warneas the new executive director of the Utah Departmentof Transportation. Warne replaces Craig Zwick, MIKE KOROLOGOS Bid spokesman staff. Jason Gull, the committee's French-speaking internationalrelations specialist, also acknowledges a certain amount of nostalgia over the campaign's close next month. Gull handled translation duties for many French-speaking delegates, most of whom were from Africa. And he traveled much of the world with top bid executives when they needed a translator. The high point for him, however, was spending long periods with some non-English-speaking IOC members, particularly the Africans. “Where in the world would I everbe able to spend four days at atime, muchless shake the hands, of people of such international stature,” says the 25-year-old Salt Lake resident. who assumed a leadership posi- tion in The Churchof Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “Tom will be an outstanding director for the Department of Transportation,” the governor said. “He has extensive experience managing large transportation projects and dealing with rapid growth, whichis one of our state’s biggest challenges. I am very pleased heis willing to lead the departmentof transportation in our efforts to improve and expandour transportation system at this critical time.” Warne has been the deputy director and chief operating officer of the Arizona Department of Transportation since 1992. He has held numerouspositions within the highways division since 1983, including state construction to take the UDOTpost June 26.
