Show News!! ca! Davis County Clipper Tuesday, February Included in the plans is more room for apparatus and a workshop to do minor repairs. Currently, such equipment and work must be done on the bay floor. There will also be a room for the breathing apparatus and an expanded medical supply closet. Height will be added to a stair tower on the south of the building. which will proxide a drill area of fire fighters. Among the most significant real upgrades will be in the crew quarters, where dorm rooms will be expanded and an additional room built. And, an additional rest room and exercise room will also be built. This is particular ly significant should the staff increase to include paramedics something Sumner hopes happens. There will also be an expanded training space, which can also be used for classes geaied to the public. The training area will be one room, which can be used for large classes or divided into two. increased office, living, training and apparatus space incorporated into Bountiful fire station remodel. to conduct enough room for captains and others to do their administrative work when needed, because they must share space But with the remodel, each tw o classes simultane- ously. The biggest improvement will be in administration, Sumner said.

Soiensons motion was seconded bv lines Bduinin and passed bv unanimous vole and put chases related to the Games. Garif personally recruited and eventually hired Mitt Romney to run SLOC. and to help manage the more than 47,000 different activities that were involved in staging the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. After Garffs seven years of involvement, a lot of people ask if he wishes the Games were still going on, or could go on again, but he kind of shakes his head. I have a mixed reaction, he says with a smile. It was a lot of work, and I'm glad it's over and that it was so successful. But it seems that since the end of the Games, other things I do come up short by comparison. It was such an emotional involvement. Lane Beattie is the state's Olympic Officer, a position he was appointed to by Governor Mike Leavitt. Beattie, a former president of the Utah State Senate, relinquished his politic career to help coordinate the state's involvement with the Olympics. Like Garff, in that role he traveled tens of thousands of miles (including a trip to Greece to help escort the Olympic flame to Atlanta for its cross country trek to Salt Lake City), and rubbed shoulders with businessmen and government leaders from around the globe. Even a year later, you can't get the smile off Beattie's face when he talks about the Games. Marvelous, truly," he states. I dont think w'e could have illustrated it any better. It was a whirlwind three years for hint as the Games approached, but one he wouldn't trade. "(They were) the best times of my life in many ways. To see the world come together as they did here in Utah was a marvelous experience." Both men will tell you the double-edge- d sword of the Games was the combination of teaching and learning. Teaching the world about Utah, its natural beauty and populace, its culture and history' and huge economic advantages for business development. And learning so much about the rest of the world around it. My view of the world was greatly altered by the experience of the Games, Garff states. "I visited Nagano personally (Japan), Sydney, and of course class competitions in ski jumping bobsled, luge and skeleton almost every year The Olvmpic Oval m Reams has alicady hosted a woild c up speedskating event, and slam track championship races will be held there this weekend The Soldier Hollow cioss countiv venue will enoy its slime ot international competitions m i he years to come All thiee facilities, which will be operated by an endowment-ricUtah Athletic oundation will sene as training Idealities fin athletes both foieign and domes- h 1 tic.

It certainly left me with a much broader horizon about the world, and enriched because of this experience. I feel more insightful with a better view ot different governments and cultures." Beattie agrees. "The world as I know it seems much smaller now. much more intimate. As we continue long-terrelationships with those wonderful people we've met. our similarities seem much greater than our differences." Both are convinced that the legacy of the 2(H)2 Games will last for decades The state's economic and financial impact study shows moie that 25().(XX) visitors came to Utah during the Games. s, view- ers in 160 countries watched an average of at least six hours of Games' coverage. The state's Division of Travel Development Web site had 7(X),(KX) visitors last February, more than three times the normal activity. And though many of the jobs created dunng the games have since been dissolved. the Olympics pumped $1.5 billion of earnings into Utah workers' pocketDooks. "The future looks very bright because of the Games, Beattie states. Look into the eyes of anyone who was here, and we changed the way the world sees Utah. We estimate the state will enjoy $3 billion in growth over the next five years thanks to the Olympics." And the legacy is real in terms of venues.
