Alberta a Frank King Call in rocking chair stuff the memories dial will Wash Over the chief executive officer or lire Calgary Winter olympics Lann after the games arc gone. More often than not King said these Golden Momenta will involve the Larch relay in which overage Iii is have car ried the olympic Ham across Canada there is something very important about that relay and i Don l know How to Lay my Finger on in King said in an interview wednesday "1 Don t know Why Ilic simple concept of currying a flame through a country Means so much to so Many people. It s just u simple thing. It s a Nice looking thing but if a simple thing. It s a flame that comes from Greece and there is some kind of a lie Wilh Ira Dilion some kind of an ego Transfer that there is & great accomplishment taking place with his it transfers into personal  wards and Pride things like  four years ago he los Angeles  organizing committee staged a Simi Lar run Carou the United Stales bringing inc flame from new York to the West coast. Runners bid for the privilege of carrying the la flame but Calgary decided against that and chose some 6,500 runners at random from 7 million applications King said tie was Happy with that Deci Sion. We  not Selling the Torch. I Don l want to put Down the american Way of doing things but we have Given this right to those Lucky enough to be chosen he said. But King said groups such As the Lions club and companies such As Petro Canada have raised some $4 million for Char ily through relay related promotions. So rather than Selling in and making it Only available to those Wilh a lot of Money we have Given it away and made the same amount of Money you might expect in a Small country like this he said. It s Money not from wiling the Larch but because the Torch relay was  a Large photograph of inc Torch hangs on the Wall behind King s desk and the olympic chief has run in two legs of the relay himself. Among the stories he can ill from those runs and the memories they produced include one of a woman who scattered the ashes of a dead Friend along inc route As she ran. It turned out that the Friend had been chosen to carry the Torch but died in an Accident before he could fulfil his dream King said. Another concerned a woman alone by the Roadside in a wheelchair. The whole relay 30 Vail and vehicles and the whole thing stopped and the tears were flowing from her As she held the Torch in both of her hands King said. She was spiritually refreshed by this experience there s no doubt about it. That s the magic that will stay Wilh me for a Long  King has been involved in the Calgary olympic organization since 1978, when the City was bidding Tor the Winter games. Ten years later he Laid he is dealing with fairly minor problems As the preparations for the Competition enter the final 10 Days. I feel like a fellow holding an hourglass Wilh 10 grains of Sand left he said. Venues were "100 percent ready for the games and plenty of artificial Snow has been spread on Alpine and nordic ski trails King said. The trouble spots that could come up he said included accreditation of about  athletes journalist and other official visitors who have yet to arrive complaints about ticket availability and traffic jams. King mid that he hoped the Winter game would help motivate children 10 Ward higher goals. This is where the Heras Are going to be recognized he said. To me thai will leave a legacy in the minds or the kids a there Gal kind of Altitude. The other legacies that we went for in the beginning Are already in place an they have nothing to do particularly with the Quality of the games. They Are the facilities and the funding now we come to inc question is there something More that we can leave and the Market thai we be got to look at is children. These Are the ones who will decide to take excellence As a Way of life if they want to go for the olympic Ideal. If we can motivate a few thousand Young Kidskin every major City and province around the country Ihal la be an important legacy As Well
