Show Volume XXIII Issue XI The Ogden Valley news Page 3 July 1, 2016 Recipient of 2016 Hannah Warburton Public Hearing Announced for Proposed Ogden Valley General Plan: Meeting to be held June 29 Resilience Award Announced Live Hannah’s Hope, a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation located in Huntsville, Utah recently presented the 2016 Hannah Warburton Resilience Award. The Hannah Warburton Resilience Award is a $500 cash award established for Utah high school seniors who have shown resilience in overcoming difficult obstacles during their effort to complete their high school education. In 2016, one student is being given the award— Allison Chapman of Eden, Utah. Starting in 2017, four Utah seniors will be given the award at the end of each school year. This award is not a scholarship but, rather, a cash award to offset any costs associated with the recipient’s efforts to attain higher education. It may be used for things such as tuition, books, supplies, transportation costs, or simply to take a well-deserved summer vacation. In the process of applying for this award, students share their story on the Live Hannah’s Hope website. Their stories can help other youth overcome difficulties experienced in their own lives by the examples of resiliency they share. Winners will be highlighted in their schools, via social media, and through local news outlets. Live Hannah’s Hope is a nonprofit inspired by the suicide death of Hannah Warburton on June 19, 2014. Its mission has been to empower youth who are struggling with mental health due to mental illness or concussions. The website offers numerous resources, many of which may be accessed outside of the proverbial “box.” The executive director of this nonprofit, and mother to Hannah, Laura Warburton, has vigorously advocated for youth mental health. She was directly involved in five suicide prevention bills passed during the 2015 Utah legislative session. She continues to look for ways to strengthen both youth and their families. The Hannah Warburton Resilience Award is an additional tool. It’s time to celebrate resilience!

Ewert added, “If the Planning Commission is satisfied that the plan accurately reflects the will of the people, they will forward it to the County Commission for their approval. If not, the Planning Commission could postpone making a decision pending completion of changes.” Please direct questions or comments to Charlie Ewert, AICP, Weber County Planning, to cewert@co.weber.ut.us or 801-399-8763.
