This week, Utah Fire & Rescue Academy will host its annual Summer Fire School, an event dedicated to the training and improvement of firefighters. Two years after one of Utah's deadliest fire seasons, the state once again blazed with a series of rapidly spreading fires that moved dangerously close to homes and roadways. According to utahfirein- 'the 762 fires that have burned across Utah burnt over 704,000 acres of land' fo.gov, last updated on July 28, 2007, the 762 fires that burned across Utah burned more than 704,000 acres of land, which is approximately half the size of Utah County.

"Green Fever" spreading beyond an advertising campaign Kevin Whitaker News writer Green Fever is already spreading. The marketing campaign originally intended to boost fall enrollment has become contagious enough to be used as the overall theme for UVSC's transition to university status, which will be effective July 1, 2008. According to Ly-anna Lee, assistant director of integrat ed marketing, quot- ed in a UVSC press release, "Green Fever isn't your normal illness. All of the symptoms are benefits." What might these symp- experience. toms be? Well, a few of small class siz- '"Green Fever isn't your normal illness.

Lee goes on to explain that the campaign is community oriented, intended to create an exciting community atmosphere by promoting school spirit and reminding people of the pres ence that UVSC has here. The Green Fever epidemic will be continuing through newspapers, magazines and radio. However, it will also be making its way through some non-traditional mediums, like movie theatre ads, Face-book ads and podcasts. Meet UVSC's new Director of Public Safety Eleanor Takahashi Editor in chief UVSC'snewDirectorofPublicSafetyJohnBrew-er, remembers the exact day he arrived in Utah. "I retired from the Gilbert Police Department," said Brewer, "and then moved up here, (arriving) July 2 of '06." The move came after celebrating more than 32 years as a successful law enforcement agent in Arizona, a career that ranked Chief Brewer as commander of 90,000 residents in Mesa's Central District and paved the way to a promotion as chief of police in the city of Gilbert, about which he generously said, "soon became the fastest growing community over 100,000 in the United States." "It was just a wonderful experience to work in a high-growth environment and bring that department along with (the) team that I developed down there," said Brewer, "it was a really, really good experience." Having spent seven and a half years handling the rapid growth of Gilbert, 25 years prior to that in the sprawling city of Mesa, John Brewer saw an opportunity to make the move to Utah. In 2006, Brewer took a job working for Northwestern University's School of Police Staff and Command where he traveled throughout the country visiting agencies, setting up instructional courses for mid-management law enforcement. As he began tying up loose ends within that department, he noticed an appealing position had opened up at UVSC.

The Bunnell pioneer house was home to three generations of one of the area's first families, was the object of a 1970sstudent-faculty renovation project, and once housed a department program. But ever since the house was declared to be structurally unsafe some 10 years ago, it is now used for storage. Associate Vice President of Facilities Planning Jim Michaelis said that UVSC currently has no plans to renovate the house, which would cost at least $250,000 to repair. The home is one of just six houses in Orem built in or before 1892 that has retained its historical integrity. Built in 1892 by Stephen Bunnell Jr. and his wife, Mary Gammon, the small sandstone brick home was once the center of the 60-acre farm where the Bunnells reared their five children. After Stephen Bunnell died in 1911, Mary sold the property to her son, Thomas, who raised his own family of eight children in the house. "It was just a delightful childhood," said Helen Bunnell Weeks, one of Thomas Bunnell's daughters who grew up in the home. "It was heavenly!"
