Jody Whitesides invites local singers and songwriters back to the Musician’s Songwriters Exchange Park City’s in-person songwriter circles after a year of COVID-19 quarantine.
Whitesides, facilitator of the group, more commonly known as MuSE PC, is resuming the gatherings on an RSVP basis, and will limit each session to five participants.
“I did that because, including me, the total of songwriters will be six, which will make it easier to break out evenly into two groups,” he said. “We’ll be able to work on songwriting exercises.”
The first songwriters circle will be May 10, and will be held in Whitesides’ backyard, because the venue MuSE originally used at the former Switchback Sports space at 1685 Bonanza Drive was recently torn down.
The Summit County Sheriff s report
A small group of anti-vaccine advocates gathered outside the Kamas office of the Summit County Health Department on Saturday to dissuade people from getting a COVID-19 vaccine, according to a report from the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.
The Health Department was hosting a vaccine clinic that day. Health officials told the Board of Health on Monday that one person who approached the clinic did not receive a vaccine after encountering the group of five or six people.
Deputies indicated the group approached people who were headed to the health office and the group was reportedly “pushy” at times, but group members did not commit any crimes.

A member of the Summit County Council has raised questions about a concept under consideration at City Hall to build a facility along the S.R. 248 entryway to store soils containing silver mining-era contaminants, a rare appearance by a County Courthouse official in a Marsac Building issue.
County Councilor Roger Armstrong is a Park City resident and drafted the statement as a private citizen rather than as an elected official. He said in an interview he anticipates the County Council and the Summit County Health Department will receive a briefing about the facility, known as a repository, shortly. The statement indicates Armstrong, who once unsuccessfully campaigned for mayor of Park City, is not seeking elected office in the city.
