Park Record

The Park Record is a daily newspaper based in Park City, Utah. It began its journey in 1880 under the name Park Mining Record, with James Shupback as its first editor. Following a couple of changes in editorial leadership, Sam Raddon, who previously worked at the Salt Lake Tribune, took over as both editor and owner. Under his guidance, the newspaper became known for its bold and critical stance, often expressing views that were against various groups, including Mormons, Chinese, and Native Americans. Raddon also incorporated several struggling smaller publications into the Record during his five-year tenure.

It was one of many dead trees dotting the otherwise vibrant landscape of the 910 Cattle Ranch, a 8,588-acre slice of wilderness located behind Jeremy Ranch. Those helmeted heads? A mixed bunch of Alpine Forestry crew members in their striped uniforms and Park City Fire District firefighters in their wildland-fire yellows and greens.

Summit Pride, the local LGBTQ+ support nonprofit, set a goal for Pride Month, which starts Sunday, in response to the Utah Legislature’s ban on Pride-flag displays on government property. “Our hope is that we can get as many rainbow flags flying throughout the Wasatch Back so you won’t notice there aren’t any flags flying at (these) buildings,” said Summit Pride Board President Virginia Solomon. “As you know, HB 77 makes it so you aren’t allowed to do that anymore.
