Continued from B-1 Windward Warriors did, as a group, to help those with PTSD deal with being in crowded, overstimulating places, as well as getting groceries. One of the members of the retreat, Joshua Kelly, held the rank of Private First Class before a roadside bomb heaved the engine block of the Humvee he was riding in onto his left ankle, crushing it irreparably, in Afghanistan in 2009. When his ankle didn’t heal, he elected to have his lower leg amputated, relieving pain and giving him greater mobility with the help of a prosthesis. He said programs like Friends of Windward Wounded Warriors help veterans recover by giving them examples to follow. Having a group comprising those who are struggling and those who are recovering well helps the group share “how to get through the day make sure you’re staying away from drinking the bottle too much — making sure you’re not sitting in your room at 3 a.m. thinking bad thoughts,” Kelly said. Joshua Reyes broke his back while conducting a martial arts training. Reyes said he has been on the struggling side of the group before. The former aviation ordinance technician underwent multiple surgeries, before which he was told he would never walk again. The Friends of Windward Wounded War- riors helped him after he was discharged, when he was still recovering medically and dealing with the change in his life’s direction. “I didn’t have much of a family growing up, so the Marine Corps was all I had, and for that to happen it was such a devastating blow, especially for someone who was dedicated, motivated and wanted to give back,” he said. “Two weeks before that happened, I was nominated for ‘Noncommissioned Officer Marine of the Year.’ Two weeks later, for me to be on my back paralyzed, facing multiple surgeries, I was taken to a dark place.” He said the Friends of Windward Warriors program saved his life by putting him in an environment around other people going through similar things, and that couldn’t have happened without the support of communities like Park City. “Some guys have been out for a while and they lost that camaraderie, and they are dealing with their issues all alone,” Reyes said. “But here you have each other and people that are willing to make this happen, and that alone says a lot. I’m just thankful.” Jensen said there was such an outpouring of resources for the group on Facebook that there were more recreational opportunities offered than the retreat could participate in. Continued from B-3 Resort’s Payday and Bonanza lifts converge, will be rerouted farther north at its base, skirting around the tailing field. “It’s a super short section, but something that needs to be done, otherwise you’re forced to take a service road up, which is fairly steep,” Fournier said. The re-route should be finished in the next few weeks. A short section of the trail, which is somewhat close to where Park City Mountain New map Also, Mountain Trails will debut a new map displaying trails laid over an aerial photo rather than a colored topographic map as in former editions, which Fournier said will hopefully give people a better idea of the scale of the area. It will also include more Utah Olympic Park trails and a greater continual coverage area. Check the next edition of the Park Record for information about new trails from South Summit Trails Foundation and Basin Recreation. Continued from B-1 SWIM INSTRUCTORS WANTED Veterans recoup in Park City rehabilitating Marines so they can either return to their post or transition to civilian life. The ones that transition back to being civilians can find further help with the Friends of Windward Wounded Warriors. On Thursday, the group was preparing for a day of golf at Canyons Golf, which allowed the retreat to play a day before it opened to the public. “Part of what happens here is using the activities of Park City to let Marines do things Marines like to do,” Jensen said. “Push each other, challenge each other. If you don’t like zip lines, you’re going on the zip line anyway. If you don’t like being out on the water, you’re out there with other guys, and it reduces your anxiety level. We are pushing them to say, ‘If you exert yourself, there is a payback for that.’ There’s a positive response to the effort.” They also participate in other exercises, like the seemingly simple task of going into a Walmart, which Friends of Season’s possible new trails Sports briefs PARK CITY SOCCER CLUB HOSTS PLACEMENTS The Park City Soccer Club is hosting player placement sessions (formerly known as tryouts) for girls and boys interested in playing competitive club soccer during the 2018-19 program year.
