2020 is coming to a close. Mercifully.

As we put this turbulent year in the rear-view mirror, residents and our leaders alike must chart the path for what’s next. Just as many Parkites are partaking in the annual tradition of undertaking goals to improve their lives in the year ahead, our community also ought to identify a few New Year’s resolutions.

After a year that, among other things, highlighted the importance of ensuring everyone reaps the benefits of living in an affluent community like ours, here are a few suggestions:

• Redouble efforts to address the affordable housing deficit. As everyone in the Park City area understands, there are no magic-bullet solutions to the dearth of affordable housing. And indeed, the shortfall only continued to grow during 2020 despite modest progress spurred by local governments and housing advocates. Who are the ones being left out of our pricy real estate market (not to mention the competitive rental market)? In many cases, it’s the essential workers we relied on more than ever this year: teachers, first responders, grocery store clerks, nonprofit employees, lower-level municipal staffers — the list goes on. We owe it to them to keep pressing forward on this vexing issue.

• Renewed urgency to achieve social equity goals. Our community understands some of its shortcomings. That’s why the Park City Council in 2018 elevated the ideal of social equity to a critical priority for the municipal government. Though it was clear before, 2020 has underscored how much work remains to become the kind of equitable community City Hall leaders and most of the rest of us envision. Latino residents have borne an outsized brunt of both the health and economic effects of the pandemic in our community, for instance. And the social justice movements in the wake of the killing of George Flloyd sparked much-needed discussions about the role all members of the community, from elected officials on down, must play in addressing racism and bias.

• Invest in our children. Young people have faced their own set of challenges during the pandemic, starting when schools closed their doors in March. Nine months later and halfway through this school year, the learning environment for students is still radically different, though Summit County’s three school districts have done a remarkable job navigating the changes. There is concern that, amid the tumult, some students have fallen behind, as well as worry about how the pandemic is affecting the mental health of our community’s youth. Addressing these concerns will be critical in the years ahead. The cliche that it takes a village to raise a child is true, and it will take a community effort to ensure our children’s futures are just as bright as they were before the crisis began.

• Be kinder to one another. It was a difficult year for everyone, so residents can be forgiven, for the most part, for times when tensions boiled over, such as in the debates over the Black Lives Matter mural on Main Street and the reopening of schools in the fall — or in everyday life when someone took up two parking spots at the grocery store or got a little too close for comfort without a mask. At the same time, the stresses of 2020 are also a reason to be more compassionate. Everyone is going through a tough time, so let’s cut each other some slack. In the coming year, let’s demand better of ourselves. Let’s spend more time focusing on the things that unite us as Parkites — namely our passion for the place we live and our desire to see the community flourish — than we do on our differences. And yes, that means less sniping at one another online and more constructive contributions.

These are just a few areas where we can help our community prosper in the year ahead. If we make progress on them — and the range of other crucial issues we face — we’ll no doubt remember the next 12 months more fondly than the year we’re all happy to be leaving behind.

The first Summit County resident has received the coronavirus vaccine, a hopeful turning point in the pandemic nine months after the first coronavirus case in our community was announced.

Though there is still a difficult winter ahead — and maybe a challenging spring, too — the beginning of the end of the pandemic is at hand.

But there is one thing that threatens to prolong the suffering endured throughout this crisis and needlessly delay a return to something resembling normalcy: hesitancy among a significant portion of the population to receive the vaccine.

There’s a lot of information floating around about the vaccines, much of it not true.

As Summit County residents consider whether or not to receive a vaccination, they should follow advice that has been key throughout the pandemic: Heed the guidance of scientists and health officials. Believe the people who have devoted their lives to their scientific fields, laboring countless hours in labs with their eyes to microscopes, studying these kind of pathogens.

Put your trust in the experts whose work is built on decades of vaccine research.

Their message is clear. The public should have confidence in the vaccines that earn approval by the independent Food and Drug Administration and are deployed throughout the country. They will be safe. They will be effective. They will, ultimately, end the pandemic.

When there are enough doses available for everyone, there will be no sound reason not to get vaccinated — particularly considering the danger of the alternative.

It is unclear how much opposition there is to getting vaccinated among Summit County residents, though anecdotal evidence suggests at least some people are hesitant. Nationwide, health experts are concerned that there could be enough skepticism to make it difficult to reach the roughly 70% threshold of inoculation they say is needed to reach herd immunity.

After what in the spring will be a year of living with the coronavirus pandemic, it would be maddening to be forced to soldier on simply because too many people refuse to get the vaccine.

Some of the opposition is coming from anti-vaxxers, who proudly disregard science and fact as they sow misinformation about vaccines.

The concerns of many other people are more understandable, if misguided. Some wonder whether the vaccine could carry potential side effects that haven’t yet been discovered. Others would simply prefer more research be conducted on the vaccines before they opt to put it in their bodies.

The worry, though, is needless.

Take it from the experts, from Dr. Anthony Fauci on down: Americans can be confident in COVID-19 vaccines approved by the FDA. Their development in record time is a marvel, one stemming from scientific advances rather than sloppiness and one that should be celebrated.

They are the key to stopping COVID infections, saving lives and at last putting the coronavirus pandemic behind us.

The post Record editorial: On the vaccine, trust the experts appeared first on Park Record.

It has been nine months since the coronavirus pandemic upended life in America. And it has been almost as long since Congress did much about it.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act was passed in March. We are now in December. Millions of Americans — including many Summit County residents — remain out of work. Small businesses are still struggling to scrape by. A federal eviction moratorium that has kept roofs over the heads of families is set to expire at the end of the month.

After months of frustrating inaction, Congress must step up.

There is hope on the horizon. A bipartisan group of lawmakers, including Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, is pushing legislation that would provide new unemployment benefits, additional relief for small businesses and more aid for states and local governments, among other programs.

All told, the proposed legislation totals more than $900 billion, money that is vital to ensure Americans can make it through what will be a dark winter until widespread vaccination brings the pandemic to heel sometime next spring or summer.

Summit County residents should call on their congressional representatives to do everything in their power to ensure the legislation reaches the president’s desk.

Is the relief package as big as Democrats want? Not even close. The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives has passed legislation that calls for more than three times that amount. President-elect Joe Biden, meanwhile, has praised the bipartisan plans but maintains that more relief would still be needed.

At the same time, Republicans have been hesitant to get behind legislation of this size after approving the $2.2 trillion relief package in March.

Leave the debates about which side is right, and about whether further legislation will be needed before the pandemic is over, to the future. The reality of the situation is that Americans are struggling right now, and this option would offer them crucial aid at the end of one of the most difficult years in our country’s history.

Americans’ faith in Congress is — understandably — near an all-time low. This era of polarization has eroded our confidence that our leaders can put aside party dogma and reach across the aisle for the good of the country.

As the coronavirus crisis continues, Congress has a chance, at least momentarily, to show that it can still get things done. For the sake of the Americans who are in desperate need of help, let’s hope it takes it.

Gov. Gary Herbert on Thursday put teachers in their place.

That place, appropriately, is near the front of the line to receive a coronavirus vaccine. Teachers, the governor announced, will be included in the state’s first wave of vaccinations, taking their spot behind some hospital workers and alongside first responders and residents in long-term care facilities. Some educators could even get their first dose of the vaccine developed by Pfizer as early as later this month.

Deciding which groups to prioritize — and, just as important, which groups will have to wait — as the vaccination campaign begins in Utah and the rest of the United States is an unenviable task. In an ideal world, there would immediately be enough doses to inoculate everybody, save tens of thousands of lives and end the coronavirus pandemic by the end of the year.

Widespread vaccination, however, is not expected to be possible until well into 2021.

It’s hard to argue that health care workers in Utah’s hospitals treating the most severe COVID-19 cases do not deserve their place as the first to receive the vaccine. And it’s unsurprising that first responders and residents and workers in long-term care facilities will also be included in the initial phase.

Teachers are a more surprising inclusion. Undoubtedly, though, the move is justified. And in Summit County, where teachers in our three school districts have been nothing short of heroic this year, it should be celebrated. Throughout the pandemic, teachers have worked longer hours than ever before, made sacrifice after sacrifice and, in many cases, risked their own safety to keep our students engaged and educated.

Making sure they are among the first people in the state to get vaccinated is a just outcome. And it’s one that will hopefully have another benefit: helping schools keep their doors open through graduation day rather than needing to revert back to online-only education, which was an adequate solution in the spring but lacks so many of the vital benefits of in-person learning.

We can be confident that, whatever the rest of the school year holds, teachers will be ready, working tirelessly on the behalf of our children.

Most of the rest of us still have some waiting to do before getting a vaccine. In the meantime, seeing educators and others who have been on the front lines of the pandemic being inoculated — a development that will represent the first step toward an eventual return to normal life — will be a figurative shot in the arm.

Pick up a cold one

Winter’s here. Take a deep breath, ahhhh! You can’t smell it. You know it’s there, it’s everywhere! It’s frozen. It’s dog poop! Now’s the perfect time to pick up a cold one. It doesn’t stink, and the bags are free. You don’t have to take it to the dump — there are trash cans all over.

So, give a crap, do your doody, pick up a cold one — better yet, take home a six-pack.

A matter of principle

I am responding to Mr. Rubinfeld’s letter (“Lessons learned,” Dec. 9-11) regarding my letter (“Answers needed,” Dec. 5-8) asking Mayor Beerman to respond to the numerous questions raised by the mural painted on Main Street last summer. He totally missed my point. My letter had nothing to do with the mural itself or it’s message — that is a whole different topic — rather it addressed the way in which the painting of the mural was accomplished. There are rules and procedures in place for such events — if any individual or group wanted to have a mural painted it would have to go through numerous applications, committee meetings, forms to be completed etc., and yet the mayor (who is supposed to be the face of Park City — per the website describing the mayor’s responsibilities) seems to have circumvented all of that. I want to know why he felt he was entitled to do that when everyone else is expected to follow the rules. I would feel the same way regardless of the mural’s content. It is a matter of principle. As I said, the mayor is not a sovereign being. If we don’t hold our elected officials responsible for their actions (and all actions have consequences) then who will?

Mindset of mush

The mindset of many Americans has turned to mush. Far too many believe the end justifies the means, or that might makes right, or that only a single ruler can make them safe.

When a demagogue emerges in one party, fellow politicians fear the wrath of the popular one, and learn to lust after power and drama in a like manner.

They learn to hate empowerment of ordinary groups of people, and want government instead by a small group, perhaps including just the president, congressional party leadership, a favorite media outlet and the judiciary.

Their view is that moral goodness is for the common people … necessary to obtain their compliance and their devotion. They themselves believe that money and benefits can buy the people’s affection, but reason and ethics are not necessary.

In this worldview, canceling disfavored groups and ignoring the health, safety and education of the people is no big deal.

Vegetarian school lunches are better for kids

Editor:

With the new school year now underway, parents have turned their attention to school clothes, school supplies, and school food. Yes, school food!

More than 31 million children rely on school meals for their daily nutrition, which too often consists of highly processed food laden with saturated fat. Not surprisingly, one third of our children have become overweight or obese. Their early dietary flaws become lifelong addictions, raising their risk of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

To compound the problem, the Trump administration has loosened Obama’s 2010 school lunch rules calling for whole grains, fat-free milk, and reduced salt content. The rules had an 86 percent approval rating.

Fortunately, many U.S. school districts now offer vegetarian options. More than 120 schools, including the entire school districts of Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Oakland, Philadelphia, and San Diego have implemented Meatless Monday.

As parents, we need to involve our own children and school cafeteria managers in promoting healthy, plant-based foods in our local schools. Entering “vegan options in schools” in a search engine provides lots of useful resources.

The winners of Tuesday’s affordable housing lottery will move into one of eight houses and 11 condominium units developed by Park City Municipal Corp. — each priced well below the area’s sizzling market rate.

The event was a triumph, not only for the new homeowners, but also for Park City as a whole. Among the winners were: a teacher, a bartender, a ski tuner, young parents and couples eager to start families of their own. The group is emblematic of the types of residents — essential to a diverse and healthy community — that many fear are disappearing as neighborhoods give way to vacation rentals and second homes.

The projects are what city leaders promise is just the beginning of a sustained effort to create affordable housing over the next 10 years. And there is a similar move afoot at the county level.

Local government and business leaders have long acknowledged the importance of workforce housing, especially in a ski resort town where a difficult commute adds one more challenge to finding and retaining employees. In response, elected officials have spent decades experimenting with different ways to coax and/or require developers to include affordable housing in their projects. Notable early successes, include several apartment and condominium complexes along Kearns Boulevard that have offered a foothold for teachers, firefighters, police officers and ski area workers.

That momentum faltered during the recession when everyone’s belts were cinched tight. Business slowed and housing prices slipped. But the respite from the housing crunch did not last long. Park City’s economy bounced back and now affordable housing proposals face another foe: a booming real estate market..

Nevertheless, city and county officials, and their constituents need to maintain the political will to enforce existing affordable housing requirements and enact new ones as the need demands. The businesses that support the city’s economy cannot flourish without a viable workforce, ideally made up of people who can afford to be full-time members of the community.

Congratulations to Park City Municipal, Mountainland Community Housing and all of those who helped bring the most recent projects to fruition and, please, keep up the good work. There are lots more hard working folks who deserve to call Park City home.
