Need a flu shot? Try the Summit County Health Department
I used to get regular flu shots. That is, until my father in law received a flu shot that damaged his rotator cuff. He had gone to a pharmacy and the pharmacist gave him the flu shot too near his shoulder. He couldn’t raise his arm above his head for almost two years. So, a …
Additional detail on Park City Teacher salaries from an expert
We received an email from current Park City Biology teacher and former Park City Education Association Co-President, Ed Mulick. He wanted to provide additional clarity on teacher salaries. His email did a great job educating us on Park City teacher and salary benefits. If you are interested in the topic, we would recommend reading Mr Mulick’s email …
This is the day school should have been closed
The temperature on the dashboard read -18ºF as I passed by the school bus picking up children at 6:39AM. Near where I live, most parents drive their kids to the bus stop in weather like this. As I stepped outside my car, my face froze and my hands hurt after about 10 seconds. My thoughts …
Accuracy of posted Park City teacher salaries
Before Christmas we posted an article on Park City teacher salaries. We decided not to post teacher names but still received substantial pushback on the data’s accuracy. Most commenters said that they always found the numbers inflated. Some said that what we published did not match what they received. So, we decided to reach out to the State …
Transit incentives could give Parkites a reason to ride the bus
As long-time readers probably know, we don’t have a lot off faith in the bus system solving our transit issues. However, we always like to hear new ideas that may convince us and other community members to ride the bus. With that in mind, we received a letter from a citizen who had an interesting …
That about sums up Park City’s Snow Day
Note: The fact that the Park Rag screws up language all the time is not lost on us. However, we just couldn’t resist.
Be careful if you brand your car and drive like a jerk
One of the trends around Park City is branding your car. You’ve probably seen the cars around town with decals plastered across the car, magnetic signs on the doors, or signs in windows. They may be advertising their property management company, their coffee shop, their landscaping company, or any of a hundred different businesses. However, …
Park City School Closures
We’ve received a few emails and comments on the school district closing school today. As is typical, we don’t really get the comments praising the school district for bowing to the snow gods (we’re sure many parents are happy to go skiing with their kids). However, we did get a few emails from parents who were upset …
Should Summit County help accelerate growth at the Canyons?
A fundamental question we face as a community is how much growth we want. We know that more growth is coming, not only from our own existing entitlements, but from Wasatch County. Now, it seems we have another question to answer: Do we want to accelerate growth? This Wednesday the Summit County Council will discuss creating a …
Could Park City and Summit County do more to keep our air clean?
Most people agree that idling vehicles are bad for our community. Every year, it seems, the Park Record comes out with an article about Park City upping enforcement of anti-idling laws. Currently Park City and Summit County have laws that say you can’t idle for more than one minute. It used to be three minutes, but …
