01 — Worth knowing In the newsThree local stories this week, plus a few worth your money.
New outreach on wheels: Park City Community Foundation launched a mobile resource van connecting Summit County families to free health screenings, mental health support, and enrollment help. Local nonprofits will offer scheduled bilingual outreach -- see the outreach van route.
Free screenings and filmmaker talks: Sundance's Local Lens will screen July 18 and 19 at Jim Santy Auditorium, featuring Union County, The Lake, and TheyDream. Filmmakers will introduce films and join Q&As. Free tickets -- get the full event details.
Community planning conversation: Summit County will host a free speaker series June 22 in Snyderville on balancing affordable housing and open space, featuring local leaders like Luke Cartin and organizations working on solutions -- see the housing discussion.
Thoughtful Father's Day gifts, ready by Sunday. Father's Day is tomorrow, which makes shipping anything now a gamble you'll probably lose. Skip it entirely. A whole range of Father's Day gifts is ready for same-day pickup in hours, so something personal is well within reach by tomorrow. -- get it today.*
The bill all retirees should double check: Car insurance. If you’ve been on the same plan for years, you might be paying way more than you need to. It’s an easy one to forget about, but switching could save you up to $600 this year. Case in point: I shopped around and ended up cutting my premium in half — this free comparison tool makes it easy.*
Your insurance won't cover a $12,000 HVAC bill: If your furnace quits before it warms up, your homeowners insurance will tell you it's a "maintenance issue" and wish you luck. Insurance covers sudden disasters. It doesn't cover the systems that wear out over time, and those are the expensive ones. A home warranty is built for exactly this. HVAC, water heater, appliances, plumbing, electrical... all covered for less than $1/day with no age restrictions on what's covered. You call, they send a tech, you pay a service fee. They handle the rest -- this one's $150 off right now.* Highlights this week: |
02 — From our sponsor Gold just posted its strongest run in decades...And the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility. While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning. If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, GoldCo has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now. It’s free and worth reading before the next move.* |
03 — On our radar
Local business spotlightNearby spots we'd actually send a friend to.
Year-round swing fix: Local, family-owned IndoorGolfClub gives members three private TrackMan bays, PGA pro coaching, and leagues that actually make you look forward to practice. Dial in your numbers, stash your bag, and virtually tour 450+ courses without leaving town.
Mediterranean night upgrade: Skip the Main Street guesswork this week and let KANEO handle dinner with bright, Mediterranean plates, a legit bar situation, and a modern, two-story space that actually feels welcoming. North Macedonian-inspired flavors, meze-y bites, and a breezy deck make it a solid local move, not a tourist trap.
Backyard group camp vibes: Miners Retreat Group Campsite at Wasatch Mountain State Park is the low-stress way to host a campout without a road trip, with a wooded pavilion, tent pads, a few RV hookups, a fire ring, and easy trail access... perfect for birthday shenanigans, team get-togethers, or just reclaiming a summer night.

04 — Our recommendations
We got your backA handful of products and services we think are worth a look.
The real retirement risk isn't a bad year, it's a long life: 40 years of saving, and the hard part is making it stretch across 30 more. SmartAsset's free quiz matches you with vetted fiduciary advisors who serve your area and are legally required to act in your best interests. The plan is built around you, not their commission. No obligation to hire anyone. *Start the quiz →
Carrying $5,000 or more on your cards? Stop the interest charges: A balance that size racks up interest fast, and at today's rates it barely budges no matter how much you pay. This card gives you 0% intro APR until 2028 on balance transfers (made in the first 60 days), with a $0 annual fee. That means almost two years to pay down what you owe with no interest charges. *See if it's a fit →
The slower you walk, the more it works: Tai Chi walking is trending online. Turns out it's centuries old — slow deliberate steps, paced breath, attention on the body. Thirty minutes a day burns fat, lifts your mood, and builds balance. No gym, no treadmill, no pounding on the joints. Take the quick quiz to see if it fits, then use code BASELOCAL for a discount on the coaching plan. *See how it works →
The conversation no man wants to have with his doctor: Turns out ~70% of men over 50 are avoiding the exact same one. The hesitation, the awkward throat-clear, the hoping it just sorts itself out… you're far from alone. The good news? You don't need the waiting room at all. What used to mean a face-to-face appointment and an uncomfortable pharmacy run now takes a few clicks from the couch — discreet online evaluation, personalized treatment shipped straight to your door. *No appointment, no awkward small talk →
Get cash back on your gas, groceries, and dining: This is real cash, not points you have to convert like credit card rewards. There are no coupons to clip and no deals to hunt down, you just claim an offer, pay with your linked card, and the cash back lands automatically. You can set it up in minutes and start earning on your very next purchase. *Start earning → |
