Continued from A-1 Heber City clinic closes dow of the clinic notifying patients of the decision and providing them with contact information for other providers in the area. “We have tried to make arrangements to figure out how our patients would get their needs met and we have talked with other providers in the community, including the People’s Health Clinic and local health departments, who will provide some commodities for them,” Galloway said. In 2016, Planned Parenthood’s Heber clinic served 420 patients, including 382 women and 38 men, according to Katrina Barker, PPAU communications and marketing coordinator. A majority of the women seen were younger than 30. Barker said 1,324 birth control units were sold, 90 pregnancy tests performed and 380 screenings for sexually transmitted diseases were conducted. She said 40 percent of the patients were considered at or below the poverty level and were predominantly white. Approximately 108 patients identified themselves as Hispanic. Beth Armstrong, executive director of the People’s Health Clinic, said the community-supported clinic has agreed to take on uninsured patients who were utilizing Planned Parenthood’s services, which were offered on a sliding-fee schedule. “We will provide them with the services that Planned Parenthood was providing, as far a birth control,” Armstrong said. “They can come and make an appointment and make us their health home. We will make it as easy for them as possible and it will be no cost to them, as it was in the past.” Carolyn Rose, Summit County Health Department’s nursing director, said the Health Department offers basic women’s health services similar to Planned Parenthood, including annual pap smears, birth control and STD testing. However, she said the Health Depart- Continued from A-1 Primary needed liams must convince voters he can be as effective in a return to the mayor’s office as he was during his administration and Armstrong must prove that his experience at the County Courthouse prepares him for the top elected post at City Hall. There are also two City Council seats on the ballot, now held by Tim Henney and Cindy Matsumoto. Henney is Continued from A-1 Expansion celebrated Saturday’s celebration isn’t a grand opening for those at Basin Recreation, but rather a way to put the construction behind The Fieldhouse. Those in the community are invited to come and participate in the celebration, which will kick off with the Fieldhouse Five-Miler, the first of a three-run summer series hosted by Basin Recreation called the Mountain Miles Series. Also offered throughout the day will be a plethora of fitness classes, including some in the pool, as well as a variety of Direct Importer of the World’s Finest Rugs A t t h e H i s t o r i c Vi l l a T h e a t r e ment operates under different funding and does not provide a sliding-fee schedule. The Health Department is also unable to prescribe birth control to anyone younger than 18 without parental consent. While Planned Parenthood has been a part of the community since the late 1980s, the clinic only moved to Heber in 2013. Rose said the Health Department did see a “small increase” in the number of patients it served who were seeking those services and anticipates a similar increase. Armstrong, Rose and Galloway all acknowledged the closure of the clinic will create challenges for young women and those who have no transportation. “We have a strong presence with our teen council in the Park City school system for those young women and we have strong relationships with other nongovernment organizations in the Park City area to make sure that the needs of the community are still being met,” Galloway said. PPAU will continue operating eight brick-and-mortar clinics throughout the state, including several in the Salt Lake area. PPAU also has contracts with rural providers and offers many services through mail and over the telephone. But, Galloway admitted closing the Heber clinic is indicative of the larger challenges that are facing the organization nationwide. “We have an administration in Washington that is not very friendly to women or our healthcare. They have plans for us, none of which are good,” Galloway said. “But we want to ensure our patients that it is important to continue to realize their family-planning goals. We want to make sure you know who to call if you have a problem. You are not alone, even though we are not in the neighborhood any longer.” For more information about services that are offered through the People’s Health Clinic in Park City, go to http:// peopleshealthclinic.org/.

Wed/Thurs/Fri, June 7-9, 2017 Transit route into Kamas, new Basin line start soon Voter-approved taxes fund commuter links and a guaranteed ride home in case of emergency. The schedule is available at: https://www.rideuta.com/RiderTools/Schedules-and-Maps/902-PCSLC-Connect By angelique mcnaughton June 26 • Kamas Commuter route- Kamas Valley residents will be able to access the service at Volkers Bakery in Kamas and it will provide runs to Quinn’s Junction, Kimball Junction and Park City, with three morning and three evening runs, including a guaranteed ride home. The Park Record Several new commuter services, including extending Park City Transit service into the Kamas Valley and a Kimball Junction circulator, are scheduled to come online this summer. In November, Summit County voters overwhelming agreed to pay an additional .50 percent sales tax or two pennies for every $4 spent on normal purchases, excluding unprepared food items and gas, to fund transportation-related projects. Revenues from the tax increases will support specific transportationrelated improvements for infrastructure and transit service. An estimated $250,000 will be earmarked for the five East Side municipalities. The first projects that were identified — electric express service on State Road 224, additional runs on the Park City-Salt Lake City connect, the Kamas commuter route, downtown demand response service, Kimball Junction circulator, and a bike-share program – will begin launching later this month, according to Caroline Rodriguez, Summit County’s transportation planning director. Rodriguez said the revenues from the new taxes have started to trickle in, but officials won’t have a firm grasp on the amount until later this month. It is anticipated that the county will collect about $1.1 million from each tax for the rest of 2017, although early estimates expected more than $4 million would be generated. “We are pretty confident that we have enough revenues to go forward right now with those first few projects, though,” Rodriguez said. According to Rodriguez, the following projects will be implemented first: June 26 • Electric Express service on State Road 224- will provide service along S.R. 224 between the Kimball Junction and Old Town Transit Centers between 7 a.m. and midnight, every 10 minutes, seven days a week. • Additional runs on the PC-SLC Connect - including a mid-day run July 10 • Park City demand-response service – will operate similar to a ridesharing service, such as Uber or Lyft, to bring residents to a designated bus stop location. • Kimball Junction Circulator – a shuttle service operating in bi-directional loops, serving the Kimball Junction Transit Center, Tanger Outlets, Newpark and Redstone. It will operate 13 hours a day, seven days a week, with runs every 15 minutes. July 14 • Bike-share program– Nearly 90 bikes will be docked at nine stations located in the Kimball Junction area, at Canyons Village at Park City Mountain Resort, Prospector Square and throughout Park City. Wednesday, Rodriguez is scheduled to go before the Summit County Council and give them a live demonstration of the http://www.letsgosummit.com/ website, which includes detailed information about the summer services. She said the website, which is already live, will be used to update citizens on the projects that were funded specifically under the tax initiatives. Users will soon be able to access the incoming tax revenues, performance measures, such as ridership, and the status of upcoming projects, Rodriguez said. “It’s a way to keep residents informed on how we are using their tax dollars. There is an interactive map that shows the projects that will be funded and where those are at,” Rodriguez said. “It’s just all really exciting that we will finally start to see the first of these projects being implemented.” To view the website and more information about the summer services, go to http://www.letsgosummit.com/ Ballots remain unfilled in East Side communities Seats uncontested as filing deadline nears By nan chalat noaker The Park Record With just a day left to run as a candidate in November’s municipal elections, most of Summit County’s East Side towns have yet to muster a full slate.
