We were advised that he was going by an alias here in the community of Miles Warner, spelled slightly different,\u201d said Telluride Chief Marshal Josh Comte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Comte, through their investigation, marshal deputies discovered that Warinner had been living and working in the region without registering as a sex offender and changed his name to avoid detection from law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comte said Warinner was convicted of attempted sexual assault of a minor in Colorado, but was registered as a sex offender in Arizona despite living in Telluride for at least a year. Comte said he believes Warinner failed to register in an attempt to start over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cObviously with the crime he was convicted of, and having the lifetime registrant as a sex offender, he doesn\u2019t get that right. He doesn\u2019t get the opportunity to start over,\u201d Comte said. \u201cThat is part of the rules that were placed upon him, that he agreed to. He doesn\u2019t get to come to our community and start fresh, while his victim still lives with the trauma that he inflicted years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chief Comte noted the marshal\u2019s department has no reason to believe there are any victims within the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe arrest was simply for him failing to register as a sex offender here,\u201d Comte said. \u201cIt\u2019s still extremely significant in my mind that he came to Telluride, felt that he had the ability to start over \u2014 changing his name, trying to work within our community, not letting on his past history. To me that\u2019s extremely concerning. He knows the rules. He knows what he\u2019s supposed to do and to intentionally try to avoid that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comte said failure to register as a sex offender is a felony level 6 offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is potential for jail time on that,\u201d Comte said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to speculate as to what\u2019s going to happen in the judicial system. He\u2019ll have his day in court and we\u2019ll see where it goes from there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chief Comte encouraged the community to reach out to resources if they need support and to call the marshal\u2019s department if they have additional information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe know events like these, whether if someone is involved with this person or not, can be triggering for a handful reasons,\u201d Comte said. \u201cIf there is concern about this individual that we arrested being around or being involved with anybody please give our office a call. This is not a closed case. This aspect, the failure to register, is, but if additional information comes to light, we will absolutely investigate that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Telluride Marshal\u2019s Department is available at (970) 728-3818.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The San Miguel Resource Center has a 24-hour helpline available at (970) 728-5660.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Impetus of Dance in Unlikely Spaces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During the 2025 spring offseason, local artist Kelli Fox was roaming around town, collecting friends in search of a place to play four square. They ended up at the Town Park skate park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe just started running around like little kids in the skate park because no one was there,\u201d Fox said. \u201cJames Van Hooser, we love him, said, \u2018Kelli you should do a piece in here,\u2019 and I said, \u2018that is a wonderful idea.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fox texted collaborator Kelsey Trottier, executive director of the Telluride Dance Collective, who was immediately on board. They applied for a grant from Telluride Arts, and just over a year later Fox and Trottier are bringing the idea to life with a site-specific dance performance called \u201cImpetus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cImpetus\u201d took a community of collaborators, including Telluride Arts, Telluride Dance Collective, the Palm, Telluride Theatre, the Town of Telluride and the Telluride Skate Community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The performance will take place at the skate park in Town Park on Friday, May 29, starting at 7:30 p.m. The performance is roughly 30 minutes and is free and open to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fox stopped by KOTO to share more about the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Story beings at 3:23.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CDOT Construction at Society Turn Roundabout<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Colorado Department of Transportation is conducting guardrail repair operations at the Society Turn Roundabout through the beginning of next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drivers will encounter reduced lanes at the roundabout and should plan for congestion and brief delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work will take place May 27 through June 1, with weekday work scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the work this week, CDOT will conduct shoulder work, pavement widening and fresh paint striping just west of the Society Turn Roundabout through September. Motorists can expect brief delays of up to five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing for Wildfire<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With a warm, dry winter behind us, San Miguel County and the region are preparing for a major fire season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next week, the Wilkinson Public Library is partnering with San Miguel County Emergency Management, the West Region Wildfire Council and the Telluride Fire Protection District for a conversation on how to prepare for wildfire and what to do if one arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important for everyone to have a go-bag ready for the possibility of an evacuation. That includes clothing and shoes, food and water, and a list of valuable or sentimental items so they can be grabbed quickly. Items such as photos, passports and birth certificates should also be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wildfire preparedness conversation will take place Monday, June 1, at 1:30 p.m. at the Wilkinson Public Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Federal Money Comes to Colorado River<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Forty million dollars in federal funding is coming to the Colorado River to purchase one of the oldest water rights in Colorado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That comes after the Trump administration froze the funds for more than a year and a half because they were part of the Biden-era Inflation Reduction Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Shoshone water rights are currently owned by Xcel Energy and are tied to a hydroelectric plant in Glenwood Canyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the rights are so senior, water must continue to flow to the Western Slope from upstream users in order to meet the allotment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Republican Jeff Hurd, who represents much of western and southern Colorado, said the work to get the funds released was a collaborative effort between him and Colorado lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said his role involved communicating directly with the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI mentioned this issue specifically to President Trump, actually spelled out Shoshone for him, uh, when, when he and I spoke, uh, telling him this is my top priority for Colorado\u2019s 3rd Congressional District, working with the Secretary of the Interior directly, working with the Bureau of Reclamation, talking about this,\u201d Hurd said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Colorado River District, which is spearheading the purchase, has secured commitments from Western Slope cities and counties that will go toward the $99 million price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The transaction also will need approval from Colorado\u2019s water court before it is finalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lawmakers Debate Roadless Rule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, lawmakers on the House Subcommittee on Federal Lands debated legislation that would repeal the Roadless Rule, sponsored by Wyoming Republican Harriet Hageman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2001 rule bans building roads in certain areas of national forests to preserve intact, undeveloped landscapes and to keep the agency\u2019s resources focused on managing forests rather than maintaining infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Caroline Llanes reports for Rocky Mountain Community Radio, the debate was mostly split along party lines, with Democrats pointing to the watershed health and biodiversity benefits of roadless areas and Republicans discussing wildfire risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At times, both parties even cited the same research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur prediction that the Roadless Rule would devastate large swaths of the Interior West have in fact been confirmed by a 2021 Johnston study that shows that roadless areas burned at disproportionately higher rates, despite being cooler and moister,\u201d Hageman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Maxine Dexter, an Oregon Democrat, pointed out that the foundational finding of the Oregon State University study was more complex than Hageman claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRoadless national forests in the American West burn more often and a slightly higher severity than national forests with roads, but the end result for the roadless forest is greater fire resilience, and I think that\u2019s something we all want,\u201d Dexter said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the legislation, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins is also spearheading an agency-level effort to rescind the rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tax Credit Incentivizes Film Production in Colorado<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Two years ago, Gov. Jared Polis signed House Bill 1358, which expands a tax incentive credit for film, TV and commercial productions that shoot in Colorado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aspen Public Radio\u2019s Regan Mertz reports for Rocky Mountain Community Radio this fall, the Roaring Fork Valley will host its first film using these credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carbondale local Patrick Keleher\u2019s film, \u201cFrick!,\u201d will begin filming in the Roaring Fork Valley this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The budget was originally $1.6 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keleher cut it down to $300,000 and plans to use the tax credits to subsidize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said it was important to him to film in the Roaring Fork Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a tip of the hat to how I was raised, going to Roaring Fork High School, and in my experiences there,\u201d Keleher said. \u201cBut you know, as we\u2019ve been moving through preproduction, there\u2019s been talks of Oregon and Kentucky and Washington, and eventually I just said I can\u2019t shoot this anywhere other than my hometown.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before shooting begins in August, he still has to finalize a cast, figure out lodging, set up meals and nail down shooting locations, like Roaring Fork High School, the base of Mount Sopris or Carbondale\u2019s Main Street.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; Man Arrested for Failure to Register as Sex Offender<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The Impetus of Dance in Unlikely Spaces<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"news-category":[515],"news-tag":[],"class_list":["post-11596","news","type-news","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","news-category-newscasts"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Newscast 5-27-26 - KOTO FM<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In today&#039;s headlines: Man Arrested for Failure to Register as Sex Offender.
