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.) As veterans from Gunnison County, we write with urgency to highlight critical concerns over recent budget cuts to the Veterans Administration (VA). These reductions disproportionately harm veterans in rural communities like ours, especially elderly and disabled veterans already struggling with limited health care access.
