The warning is currently in effect for Monday evening, and again for Tuesday afternoon and evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In San Miguel County, Susan Lilly, public information officer for the San Miguel County Sheriff\u2019s Office and Telluride Fire Protection District, says conditions aren\u2019t dire, but people should use common sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe reality is it\u2019s not all that dry. We have plenty of green in the area. Certainly, that can dry up as temperatures stay high, but right now we\u2019re not on the most severe alert we have,\u201d said Lilly. \u201cThat being said, we all need to exercise common sense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the Bluegrass weekend kicks off, Lilly emphasized the importance of recreating safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have nearly 90% of wildfires are caused by humans, and one of the most common ways is a campfire,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lilly advised campers and recreators to choose their fire spots wisely\u2014ideally in a designated area\u2014and to keep fires small. Most importantly, she said, make sure the fire is fully extinguished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t go to bed when it\u2019s not fully out. Pour water on it, stir it, don\u2019t just pour it on the coals,&#8221; Lilly urged. &#8220;Make sure it\u2019s out by touching your hand on those coals and making sure it\u2019s cool to the touch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also reminded individuals to dispose of cigarette butts properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot flick them out the window, put them on the ground (even if you stomp them out), that\u2019s a great way to start a fire,&#8221; said Lilly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of it all, Lilly urged everyone to follow the mantra of Smokey Bear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe just want everyone to exercise common sense, no matter what the fire danger is\u2014it always applies,&#8221; said Lilly. &#8220;Be careful with campfires, extinguish them correctly, and don\u2019t be that person who starts a wildfire by accident.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Red Flag Warning in San Miguel County remains in effect until 8 p.m. Monday, and from noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday. The National Weather Service warns that fires could ignite and spread quickly, and individuals should use extreme caution with any outdoor burning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Norwood Chamber Plans Busy Summer of Events and Community Partnerships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a lot happening in the Town of Norwood this summer, much of it spearheaded by the Norwood Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber is led by a board of six local residents working to promote tourism and support businesses in the Norwood R-2 School District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Becky Hannigan, a board member and the deputy clerk for the Town of Norwood, shared an update with the San Miguel County Lodging Tax Panel about the Chamber\u2019s recent activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re trying to, as a Chamber\u2014because we only have six members on the board currently\u2014we wanted to concentrate on things that we could help our businesses with here in town but still bring people to Norwood for these events,\u201d Hannigan said. \u201cLike helping with Music on the Mesas as far as sponsorship. But not go crazy to try and figure out what everybody wants\u2014we had to kind of bring it in just a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Norwood was recently named a Certified Small Business Community and is now part of Colorado\u2019s 126 designated \u201cOpportunity Zones,\u201d which offer federal tax incentives for investors interested in rural development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hannigan said the Chamber has been active this year, collaborating with local groups and hosting events, including the annual banquet in mid-March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a highly successful event,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chamber is also organizing events throughout the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo the other thing the Chamber has taken on is the Fourth Friday Films,\u201d Hannigan said. \u201cIt\u2019s a free film series at the Norwood Town Park. It is, of course, the fourth Friday of the month. We\u2019re not doing it in July due to the fair and rodeo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next Fourth Friday film is scheduled for June 27\u2014a showing of <em>The Sandlot<\/em> at the town park. The following day is Norwood\u2019s Star Spangled Parade, with local vendors and food provided by the fire department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, so we kind of decided to concentrate on a few certain things,\u201d Hannigan said. \u201cOf course, we\u2019re helping Music on the Mesa. The Chamber helps sponsor the sound system for both of those. So we\u2019re trying to stay in collaboration with all the things going on in Norwood. With parks and rec, we\u2019re doing collaborations with them as well. So that\u2019s what we\u2019ve decided to do\u2014just keep it local, bring some more local people in, and let\u2019s just get crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Hannigan\u2019s presentation, the county lodging tax panel approved another year of funding for the Chamber at its June 16 meeting. The Chamber receives approximately $15,000 annually from the lodging tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Managing Menopause<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gretchen Williams wants to open the conversation around perimenopause and menopause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen people find out that other people are experiencing similar things to what they\u2019re experiencing, it reduces, maybe not the intensity of the symptoms, but the shame surrounding them, the loneliness surrounding them,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Williams is a licensed professional counselor candidate, a yoga teacher and bodyworker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This summer, she\u2019s facilitating a Peri\/Menopause Series: <em>Understanding Hormone Replacement Therapy<\/em>, and navigating hormonal shifts with integrative interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat we\u2019re finding in research is that hormones, particularly estrogen, protect women\u2019s bodies and brains from things like dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s, breast cancer, bone cancer, osteoporosis, and a slew of other pretty serious things,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two-part series will feature nurses from the region to share information on what hormone replacement therapy is and how women can navigate the shifts in their bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe suicide rate for women is the highest during this time of life, which is really unfortunate, and anxiety and depression really pop their head up for a lot of people, and relationship quality also plummets,\u201d Williams said. \u201cSo, it\u2019s good to be armed with information so you know what\u2019s happening with you, first of all, reducing some shame and guilt, there\u2019s nothing wrong with you, this is just a natural thing in life, but there are things you can do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Williams said the goal is to help women\u2014and men\u2014move through the world with a little more ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t feel so great when you haven\u2019t slept all night because you\u2019re waking up with hot flashes or your sleep quality has plummeted,\u201d she said. \u201cIf you\u2019re in a relationship with somebody, or you\u2019re working with other people, and your mood is really up and down like a roller coaster\u2014which it can be in perimenopause when your hormones are fluctuating so greatly and it\u2019s new to you\u2014it\u2019s helpful to know there\u2019s a reason behind it and something can be done and you\u2019re not just stuck with suffering all the time. We can\u2019t change the onslaught of perimenopause and menopause, but we can get through it in a better way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Peri\/Menopause Series will take place Sunday, June 22, and Sunday, July 13, from 3 to 5 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\">High-Country Jeep Roads Begin to Open in San Juans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>High-country passes are slowly opening around the San Juans as road crews clear remaining snow. Ouray, San Juan and San Miguel counties have started seasonal work on popular jeep roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ouray County recently reopened Camp Bird Road up to Imogene Pass after extensive repairs. Imogene Pass remains closed on the San Miguel County side, with a full closure into Telluride expected throughout the summer due to ongoing maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Black Bear Pass and Ophir Pass remain closed while road and bridge crews continue snow removal. In Silverton, Animas Forks Road through Cinnamon Pass is open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Updated road conditions are available at each county website under Road and Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Your Own Hula Hoop at Wilkinson Library Workshop<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever wish you had your own custom hula hoop?

Molly, originally from Montana, carried a sign that read \u201cDemocracy not Dictatorship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m here today because Trump is destroying our democracy and not respecting our constitution, and a lot of people in our environment are getting hurt by it,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Longmont, large crowds lined both sides of Main Street for several blocks. Protesters held signs denouncing cuts to Medicaid, efforts to sell off public land and what they called threats to democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nancy, from Longmont, said showing up was important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Silence is complicit. I mean, we need to just at least voice our concern that we&#8217;re not happy with all the decisions the Trump administration&#8217;s been making,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar rallies took place in Grand Junction, Montrose and Telluride. The so-called \u201cNo Kings\u201d rallies were the largest mass protest the state has seen in years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; Fire Season Heats Up<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Norwood Chamber Plans Busy Summer of Events and Community Partnerships<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Managing Menopause<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"news-category":[515],"news-tag":[300,925,632,477],"class_list":["post-5313","news","type-news","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","news-category-newscasts","news-tag-colorado","news-tag-menopause","news-tag-san-miguel-county","news-tag-telluride"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Newscast 6-16-25 - KOTO FM<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In Today&#039;s Headlines: Fire Season Heats Up.
