Gunnison’s newest hangout spot, “Paddle Out” is set to bring the flavor of the Hawaiian islands to Boulevard Street. Inspired by business owner Tina Fabulic’s days surfing Hawaii’s famous point breaks, the new bar will feature an island-inspired lounge and extensive alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktail menus — all to the rhythm of reggae music. Set next to the historic Smith Opera House, the building is expected to be completed after a two-year renovation this fall.

Field day was a team effort Editor:I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the coverage of our recent field day in last week’s newspaper. The writing and photos captured the day well. I also want to clarify that, while the article mentioned my role, field day was a team effort. I helped plan the event with Chase Starman and Rocky Moore, but it was a community event. Teachers, middle school students, alumni and parents all worked together to make it happen.

This spring, the Gunnison local added two more of the world’s top marathons to her resume, authored an internationally bestselling book and raised thousands of dollars for charities.

Dear Congressman Hurd Editor:(Note: The attached letter to the editor was originally sent to Congressman Jeff Hurd’s office and was republished in the Times upon request.)

The seven seniors on the GHS baseball team have battled together on the diamond since they were 8 years old. The first round of the playoffs on May 17 proved to be the boys’ final stand.

Bipartisan public lands bill brings communities together Editor: With the bipartisan introduction of the Gunnison Outdoor Resources Protection (GORP) Act in the U.S. Senate and House, our community takes a major step. Bipartisan public lands legislation may seem like a miracle in the age of partisan politics, but only for those who don’t know the Gunnison Basin. This legislation was driven by a desire for our public lands to serve competing critical needs.

‘Under the keys’

The music blended into one, statically-charged cocoon. The hair on my neck stood at-end, and I felt eerily comforted — despite the bizarre setting.
