This issue of The

Campbell Update

should be in your

hands within a few

weeks of the 2002

Olympic Winter

Games, hosted by

Salt Lake City. An

article on Pages 7

and 8 gives an

overview of weather

monitoring at the

Utah venues. Since

hosting the games is

probably a once in a

lifetime event, I

would like to share

some of my thoughts about it.

The early groundwork to prepare a bid

started on a shoestring budget. Campbell

Scientific was approached to provide

equipment to monitor weather at potential

ski jumping, bobsledding, and cross-coun-

try skiing venues in Summit County, east

of Salt Lake City. We entered into a

good-faith agreement so equipment could

be placed in the field immediately, then

subsequently paid for as funding was

approved by the state legislature. So

beginning in January, 1990, critical, site-

specific winter weather measurements

were recorded. We viewed the business

As I write this article in December, we

have the prospect of great snow condi-

tions. After more than a year of well-

below-average precipitation, several

storms during the past several weeks have

provided a good base of snow. Hopefully,

this winter weather will continue through

the end of February.

The events of September 11 have influ-

enced the Olympic Winter Games. The

Governor has announced the activation of

1900 members of the Utah National

Guard to assist law enforcement agencies

with security during the Olympics. There

are a couple of employees at Campbell

Scientific who are in the Guard, so the

rest of us will work a little more to cover

for them while they take care of their mil-

itary duties. We do it willingly and with

appreciation for their service.

The Bridgerland Ice Arena, Cache

Valley's new year-round skating rink, will

open the first of January, just in time to

host practices for some Olympic athletes.

We are pleased to have the Swiss hockey

team, Chinese speed skaters, and the

Russian and French figure skaters visit

our local community for practice sessions

and exhibitions.

If all goes well, I'm sure we will all

enjoy the Olympics. We at Campbell

Scientific join other Utahns in stating that

we are pleased to host the Games. We

hope that you will enjoy the Games too.

risk as doing our part to support Utah's

Olympic bid effort.

Campbell Scientific is located in

Cache Valley, Utah, about 90 miles (150

km) north of Salt Lake City. Our winter

weather is similar to that of the skiing

venues. As Utahns, we wondered a little

about the effort that was put into gather-

ing and presenting weather data because

the temperature and precipitation can vary

quite a lot from year to year. But if the

winter weather data proved encouraging,

and Utah was selected, who could argue

with success?

Having been supportive of Utah's

Olympic proposal, I was chagrined when

it was reported that the bid was awarded

perhaps not so much on merit as on

favors for International Olympic

Committee members. Like most Utahns,

I was offended by the improprieties. I

appreciated the leadership of Utah's gov-

ernor, who declared that even though the

graft did not begin with the Salt Lake

Organizing Committee (SLOC) bid, it

should end with it. Personnel changes,

among other things, were made. In the

end, it appears that criminal prosecution

of former SLOC members has been

dropped, so those who claimed they didn't

break the law may have been right. But I

hope that future bids will not be tainted

with the kind of personal gifts and favors

found in pre-bid SLOC activities.

City’s Olympic Winter Games bid (winter 1990/91).
