Firefighters are battling a wildfire on Ophir Pass in San Miguel County near the town of Ophir.
The Ophir Pass fire, about 50 feet by 100 feet in size, is burning on U.S. Forest Service land, according to the San Miguel County Sheriff’s Office.
On Tuesday afternoon a helicopter was dispatched from Montrose to work on the fire along with USFS crews and local firefighters. No structures are threatened.
The fire is running away from the town and officials asked people to stay away from the area. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
At 5:30 p.m. Tuesday the sheriff’s office said: “The fire is under control but not yet technically contained — there is a line around the fire and firefighters are working on hotspots. Firefighters will be on scene overnight.”

If you look at the big picture, it's such a mess, there's little coordination. This initiative may be helpful, but like you said, there are other factors that may negate the benefits. If only people could work together for everyone's benefit.
Here's my understanding. Currently in CO, you have 10 years from the commission of a felony sex crime on a minor to prosecute. The law that was sticken down allowed victims of abuse that reached outside of that 10-year window starting in 1960 to come forward and sue. I'm not a lawyer, so please someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Victims of childhood abuse who brought lawsuits under the new law likely will not see their claims go forward, said Christopher Jackson, an appellate lawyer at Holland and Hart who was not involved in the Colorado Supreme Court case but reviewed the opinion. The ruling means that the law no longer applies, even to ongoing lawsuits.
“They’re stuck where they were before,” he said. “…If a plaintiff can put forward a good reason to say, ‘Even under the old law, we had an argument as to why we could bring this claim today,’ then you could settle or figure things out from there. But if they were relying entirely on this new law, they’re not going to have a lot of options.”
It was not immediately clear Tuesday how many lawsuits were filed under the new law.
Avery, the attorney who is representing several survivors, said most cases brought under the new law will now be tossed out. He added that several other states have opened up similar look-back windows, and those laws have not been struck down.
“I think it’s sad that Colorado is such a conservative outlier jurisdiction,” he said. “Most of our clients are recognizing that people around the country are getting remedies, and here in Colorado we are not. We’re not on the same footing as all the other states that have considered the issue. And I think that makes it double tough.”
Lawmakers should pursue additional legislation or a constitutional amendment to allow for such claims in the future, he said.
Fields said she plans to look into options for additional legislation that would offer similar civil remedies that do comply with the state constitution.
Some therapists just aren't good. She shouldn't push for something you've explicitly stated is off limits. The saying is "start where the client's at" not "push the client to start where you feel is appropriate." I'm sorry you had that experience.

Thank you for such an insightful comment! Lots of great info here.
Drugs affecting serotonin should be used with extreme caution. These primarily include SSRIs SNRIs but also some drugs you might not expect.
Definitely agree. I may add a link to some antidepressant research in this post for educational purposes.
My opinion that is purely anecdotal to my experiences trying to find the right treatment is that providers only seem to care about preventing mania and rarely seem concerned about all the other facets of mental health once the BD is slapped on my chart.
I feel this so much. I'm so lucky to have my psychiatrist who sees me holistically. I also have ADHD and take dextroamphetamine. My life changed in an instant when I started on stimulants, I actually could function. They have not triggered any manic episodes; I'm also on lamotrigine, and it keeps me pretty stable.
