Summit County Council Candidate Canice Harte has a meet-and-greet coming up
Winston Churchill once said, “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” The best way to prove Sir Winston wrong and become an informed voter is to spend 15 minutes talking with those people running for election. That’s why I believe local elections are one of the few places where …
This is what we are debating when we are talking about limiting some books in Park City schools
The debate is interesting when it comes to “book banning” in Park City Schools.

How are your Park City School District class sizes?
Last spring, there was a worry from teachers and school administrators about class sizes in our elementary schools. I wanted to check in and see how class sizes are turning out this year. I often point out the negatives of the district; however, if they solved this potential issue, they should get the praise. So, …
Why does the Park City School District have such bad luck?
Wow. A lot of bad things seem to happen to the Park City School District. It started with a magic rock that somehow broke the Superintendent’s kitchen window but didn’t break the window’s screen. This act of dark magic forced school board members, against their will, to chastise the community for its hatefulness. Then some …
