Transit From 7 "Until the 2025 timeframe we don't have dollars to put into new services. We can't operate everything we're operating. To implement any of these services we need to find new resources. We see these services as critical and need to work collectively to fund that," Johnson told council members. The study was a collaborative effort between Clearfield, Layton, Freeport Center, the Military Installation Development Authority, the Wasatch Front Regional Council, Weber State University, Hill, the Utah Department of Transportation and UTA.

Warrior From 7 medals but the camaraderie. We build lifetime bonds through the program and the most valuable piece is to inspire others." Haugh said he hopes the games bring as much awareness to non-visible disabilities as visible ones. "Many veterans have combat injuries that aren't physically noticeable," he said. "Not all wounded warriors are missing a limb. A good number of them have brain injuries or are struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder." The day Haugh arrived to the camp marked 20 years since he attended the Prep School in 1994. As a cadet, he played on the Academy's football team and returned to the Prep School to coach football from 1999-2000. "Athletics have always been a part of my life," he said. "It's an honor not only to be back around fellow Airmen, but to be doing something athletic again is inspiring. Athletics are not only good for your body but good for general healing." Haugh, a Maryland resident, is chairman of a not-for-profit program called Racing for Veterans. The program pro- vides grants to wounded service members for rehabilitation. "There are many people alive today because of the Wounded Warrior Program," he said. "I'm proud to be a part of something that can actually save people's lives. For me, the most beneficial piece has been the opportunity to provide some sort of inspiration, comfort or value to someone else struggling." The Air Force Wounded Warrior Program was developed in 2009; the adaptive sports program was created in 2010, according to Steve Otero, Air Force Wounded Warrior Program communications and marketing coordinator. "The Warrior Games is our Defense Department's underservice competition," he said. "It's not so much of a competition rather an adaptive sporting event designed to encourage healthy recovery options. It's to encourage the morale of a discharged veteran and continually reinforce to them that their service will encourage a recovery in a healthy and holistic way." Athletes train twice a year at the Academy for the Warrior Games. This year, 23 Airmen attended the camp to train for the Invictus games held in United Kingdom. They will represent the U.S. at the event Sept. 10-14. 8:00 - Outrageous KIDS ENTERTAINMENT Bring the kids and come enjoy these FREE activities! 4:00-8:00pm - Inflatable Obstacle Course 4:00-8:00pm - Character Artist 4:00-8:00pm - Face Painter 4:30- 9:00pm - Flippers Gym & Glitter Tattoos 4:30-9:00pm - Kona Karate Demonstrations CHARACTERS BY DREAM ON I 6:30-9:30pm 8:00-10:OOpm - Balloon Artist 4:30-9:00 pm - Mathnasium Trivia 4:30-9:00 pm - BMX Bike Course 6:00-7:OOpm - Ogden City Fire Dept. 6:30-9:30 pm - Characters by Dream On 7:00-9:00 pm - Avenger Characters PLUS!
