There's something for everyone on your gift-giving list!

YES ON 2B equals healthy recreation facilities and quality streets

WHAT—

2B asks City of Gunnison voters to change Gunnison’s sale tax allocations.

2B reallocates 0.38% (or 38 cents on a $100 purchase) to parks and recreation to maintain recreation facilities, such as, the pool and ice rink, and 0.37% (or 37 cents on a $100 purchase) to maintaining and rehabilitating our existing streets and related infrastructure (including sidewalks and alleys).

2B DOES NOT increase the City of Gunnison’s sales and use tax rate.

WHY—

Ongoing costs to maintain recreation facilities and continue affordable fees is exceeding projections from 20 years ago.

Costs for asphalt, cement, building materials and equipment are growing 3 times faster than the city’s revenue. $1 spent now will cost $8 if our existing streets deteriorate.

RESULT—

Passing 2B ends uncertainty in funding Gunnison’s recreation facilities, such as, the pool and ice rink.

A new way to enjoy butternut squash Many foods are inextricably linked to certain growing seasons. For example, most people seldom eat juicy watermelon before or after summer, as this juicy, refreshing fruit seems tailor-made for long, warm days. The same can be said for other produce, including squash.

While zucchini and yellow squash are decidedly summer fare, acorn squash, spaghetti squash and butternut squash seem much more at home when the chilly weather arrives. That might be why these squashes are commonly featured in holiday dining, which dominates the third quarter of the year.

There are many different ways to prepare butternut squash, with some of the most popular including soups and casseroles. However, this versatile gourd, which cooks quickly when cut into chunks and produces a lush texture, can be a colorful winner in other presentations — in-

cluding stir-fry. This recipe for “Butternut Stir-Fry with Peppers and Peas” offers a new take on the familiar butternut squash. Serve it as a side dish for the holidays or any time you desire subtle, Asian-inspired flavors. Enjoy, courtesy of “300 Best Stir-Fry Recipes” (Robert Rose) by Nancie McDermott.

Butternut Stir-Fry with Peppers and Peas Serves 4 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger root 2 cups cubed peeled butternut squash (1⁄2-inch cubes) 1⁄3 cup diced red bell pepper 1⁄3 cup frozen tiny peas 2 tablespoons water 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce 1 teaspoon salt

1. Heat a wok or large deep skillet over high heat. Add oil and swirl to coat pan. Add ginger and toss well, until fragrant, about 15 seconds.

2. Add squash and spread into a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, for 1 minute. Toss well. Cook, tossing often, until squash is browning lightly around edges, 2 minutes more.

3. Push squash aside and add red pepper and peas. Scoop squash on top of vegetables. Add water, pouring in around sides of pan.

4. When everything is sizzling away, add barbecue sauce and salt. Cook, tossing once or twice, until vegetables are tender and evenly coated with sauce, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Transfer to a serving plate. Serve hot or warm.

SUDOKU HERE’S HOW IT WORKS Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2023

Weekly Horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, beware of misinformation and make an effort to form your own educated opinion. Take everything with a grain of salt and verify the facts.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Be aware of someone who is trying to take advantage of you, Libra. Remind that person that you have strict limits. Never get pushed in a direction you do not want to go.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 If someone is struggling right now, show some support or offer helpful words, Taurus. A small gesture can go a long way, even if you do not think it will have a major impact.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you do not have to change your plans or ambitions to what others want. Stick with your own ideas and goals and you’ll be surprised at what you can accomplish.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, if you are feeling out of sorts in a situation or do not know how to proceed, ask someone who has been in this situation before. It never hurts to ask for help.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 A friend might want to sell you on some big idea this week, Sagittarius. It may ultimately prove a sound venture, but you need to do your own research and figure things out for yourself.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 It is time to balance the energy between yourself and another person that has felt cumbersome, Cancer. Start with a conversation and discover if the other party is feeling the same way.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Surround yourself with the best friends you can find, Capricorn.

These people will have your back when a tricky situation pops up sooner than you might think.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, when you are full of self-confidence, others’ actions do not bother you much. Those people can be arrogant or even abrasive and you’ll be comfortable in your skin.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, embrace any challenges that arise in the days ahead.

You can be successful if you maintain your focus and prevent distractions from blocking your path forward.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, ambition may be good for the workplace, but you need it in your personal life as well. Figure out some goals on a personal or even romantic level, and get started.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, if everyone seems to be moving at a faster pace than you, you may feel pressured to speed up. Just keep working at a rate that is comfortable for you.
