Summer Activity Guide 2019 Care About Childcare - Weber State University 1351 Edvalson St. Dept. 1309, Ogden, UT 84408-1309 http://programs.weber.edu/cac 801-626-7837 Summer Activity Guide 2019 Summertime can present difficulties to working families of school age children who must make different arrangements for child care needs and children’s activities. This guide was designed to help with those needs. Care About Childcare - Weber State does not guarantee quality programs. We do not recommend one over another and we accept no responsibility or liability for them. We feel it best for families to choose and monitor the site that best fits the needs of their child. Programs in this guide are subject to change. Cost is not provided in the list because it may vary depending on age and hours enrolled. Please contact the program for further information on cost, hours of operation and enrollment. Programs are arranged by county in zip code and alphabetical order. This is not a comprehensive list. Some programs may not be included, although we have done our best to include as many programs in the area as possible. All state regulated centers in our service delivery area were invited to participate in this list if they have a summer program. If you have any questions or have suggestions of any programs you feel should be added to this guide, please contact us. Care About Childcare - Weber State is a program of Weber State University’s Child and Family Studies Department. Funding is made possible by a grant from the Child Care Development Fund Utah Department of Workforce Services – Utah Office of Child Care. Last updated April 8, 2019 PARENT’S GUIDE TO CHOOSING QUALITY SUMMER CARE Some programs are not required to be licensed through the State of Utah. These include many summer programs, preschools, and child care centers operating under the arm of a church. The state of Utah does not visit these programs to enforce basic health and safety regulations or have the authority to act on complaints made against legally licensed-exempt facilities. Below are some checklists to use as a guide for evaluating any program that you are considering for your child. We encourage you to conduct an on-site visit and ask a lot of questions to determine if the level of quality is right for you and your child.

    WELCOME ___ Welcome to the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Winter Games. The key to understanding the many media facilities and services available at the Salt Lake 2002 Games is the Facilities & Services for Journalists Guide that you are now holding. Please take the F A C I L T E S & R V O J U N G D time to review and understand its contents. Much of your time in February 2002 will be spent at the Main Media Center (MMC) where, for the first time in Olympic history, both the Main Press Center (MPC) and the International Broadcast Center (IBC) will be housed under one roof. The MMC will be located at the recently expanded Salt Palace Convention Center in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. While the MMC serves as the centerpiece of SLOC’s press services program, it is at the venues where critical Games-time reporting takes place. Accredited media can expect to find fully-outfit- ted and professionally staffed Media Sub-Centers (MSC), print and photo press viewing areas, and post-event interview areas at all 12 competition and noncompetition venues. SLOC Press Operations staff responsible for planning and delivering these critical media facilities and services during the Games include: • Beth White General Manager, Main Media Center • Steve Dittmore Director, Venue Press Facilities and Services • Frank Zang Director, Olympic News Service (ONS) • Jill Porter Manager, Press Support (accreditation, accommodations, rate card) • Carrie Devine Manager, Special Projects • David Breslauer Photo Chief After careful review of the information herein, please don’t hesitate to direct any questions or comments in writing to: [email protected].

Both were important factors in the growth of Utah. Both are included in the exciting history of Park City. Silver Mining At one time, Park City mines were some of the richest in the United States! Silver mines, discovered in Park City, brought wealth, power, influence and opportunity to a few lucky men. While most miners remained poor and worked in dangerous conditions underground, a few used luck, hard work and knowledge to become extremely rich! One of these miners was Thomas Kearns. Kearns was a teenager when he left home to seek his fortune in the mines. After arriving in Park City, he first worked as a mucker (a poor worker who shoveled ore into the underground ore wagons). He used his knowledge of mining and ore veins to stake a claim in a mine that he thought might be rich in silver. His hunch proved to be correct, and he became a millionaire! The Silver King Mine, in Park City, provided this Irish Catholic miner with great wealth and power. At the beginning of the 1900’s, successful miners like, Thomas Kearns, changed the image of downtown Salt Lake City by building fabulous mansions on South Temple. The Kearns Mansion, an elegant reminder of Park City’s exciting past, was donated to the state and is now Utah’s Governor’s Mansion.

    AIARCHITECT FEBRUARY, 2002 AIA News FROM OUR FRIENDS AT AIA UTAH Olympic Venues Offer Medal-Caliber Architecture Eleven projects from the 2002 Olympic Winter Games The athletes aren't the only winners out in Utah these days. Behold 11 venues that actually are helping competitors be swifter, higher, stronger, and keeping spectators closer, comfier, and safer. (All architects listed, except HOK, are Salt Lake City offices.) Some are models of restoration, others are the greenest of the green, and some offer technology never before used in architecture projects. Enjoy! Olympic Village, University of Utah Campus, by Architectural Design West The Olympic Village housing, built in 2002 by the University of Utah, offers 20 low-rise apartment and suite-style buildings. De- signing for students, but with the Olympic Winter Games in mind, the architect placed the housing units in historic Fort Douglas (which had been transferred to the university by the army). The housing blends with the 19th-century fort buildings on a 62-acre site that features six separate "neighborhoods," each with its own design, to accommodate the different lifestyles of the students. Each neighborhood is connected to landscaped open space and pedestrian walkways, which flow back to the campus over a pedes- trian bridge. The heart of this student community is the Heritage Center, the student commons. Architectural Design West, in asso- ciation with HENV, Inc., guided the $120 million project. The uni- versity also undertook a $3 million renovation of Fort Douglas Of- ficers' Circle, a group of two-story Victorian-era homes and their surroundings, which will house Olympic Village services, recreation, and retail areas.

    Results I 4 Results I 4 Te results section is twofold. First, we will look at all Games levels, providing infor- mation for each of the 10 investigated Olympic Games. In a second results section, we will look across the various Games, which enables us to suggest interpretations by cost (revenue) groupings or categories. Finally, we present our overall fndings. It should be noted that OCOGs sometimes changed categories in their accounting systems from one year to another. Tis explains the sudden ups and downs between categories we defned. 4.1 Sydney 2000 4.1 Sydney 2000 In September 1993, the IOC awarded Sydney the right to host the Olympic Games in the year 2000. Te Olympic Games were held between 15 September and 1 October 2000, and the Paralympic Games between 18 and 29 October. In order to secure the Olympic Games for Sydney, the New South Wales (NSW) Government was required to give an unqualifed guarantee that the State would underwrite the Olympic budget. Te Government had a responsibility, therefore, to maintain close oversight of the planning for the Olympic Games and implementation of those plans to ensure that essential Olympic facilities were provided on time and within reasonable costs and that the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games were successful. © The Author(s) 2019 H.

  • Salt Lake Olympic Legacy Remains on Fast Track
    Salt Lake Olympic legacy remains on fast track Skiers during the summer come off the jumps, landing in the pool on the left. Photo/Kathryn Reed Publisher’s note: This is one in a series of stories about Park City, Utah. By Susan Wood PARK CITY, Utah – Hurtling down twists and turns at speeds of 80 mph with complete abandon of the danger if the pilot makes a mistake. The centrifugal force to be reckoned with at 4Gs makes a rookie groan, strain to focus, breath heavy and fight back the wind pushing her head down. I tell myself to sit upright to protect my back, not realizing that after the one minute ride my elbows jammed inside the sled would be the points of my body to have bumps and bruises while gripping the cables seated directly behind the driver, Olympic silver medalist Shauna Rohbock of Orem, Utah. At the Utah Olympic Park built for the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, I stepped into her vehicle of choice to partake in the second fastest bobsled track in the world. The fastest is at Whistler, British Columbia. I held on tight to the confidence my four-member bobsled team thrown together with Rohbock at the helm would come out of the open chute surviving and thriving. Jake (the Olympic Park worker in back) told us how rare it is to experience the track without the shade. The sun can wreck the consistency of the track surface in 15 minutes. The U.S. bobsled team gets ready for the World Cup event in January.
