The women are members of the Somaly Mam Foundation’s Voices for Change program. Through the program, these women who have first-hand experience with human trafficking are becoming leaders in the fight against it. Foundation co-founder Nic Lummp asked that the women be referred to by only their first names and that they not be questioned about their pasts. “They’re still kind of in a

delicate situation, so we don’t want to get into details of their past,” Lummp said. “They get really emotional.” Considering the horrors involved in human trafficking and forced prostitution, that is understandable. “A lot of times, girls get stuck in this by being sold into it by their families,” Lummp said.

the change to the summer tourism season. “In June here, we’re probably past our mud season, so I guess people are coming back for our resort season,” Bradbury said. The labor force also grew from May to June, from 13,724 to 14,584. That’s still smaller than Routt’s average, Bradbury said. The work force usually includes more than 15,000 people. He said he expected to see the numbers improve. The state department hadn’t adjusted them for seasonal increases and decreases. “Just from people getting hired for the summertime

we expected it to either stay the same or go down a bit,” Bradbury said. “That’s good, though. Every time we go down, that helps.” The state’s unemployment level for June was steady at 7.6 percent. That number is seasonally adjusted. Colorado added 12,300 jobs in June, according to a news release from the state Department of Labor and Employment. Job numbers usually increase by twice that, the release stated. “With the summer tourism season gearing up, most employment gains during the month came in the leisure and hospitality sector, up 14,600,” the release stated. “Construction saw a seasonal increase of 5,000, and trade, transportation and utilities gained 4,200.” Department Director Donald See Unemployment, page 14

Parents still owe district The Steamboat Springs School District may be forced to take legal action to collect about $1,500 in unpaid tuition from parents of children who attended full-day kindergarten last year. The district will take the parents of four children who haven’t paid to small claims court in August if the funds aren’t recouped by then, Superintendent Shalee Cunningham said Friday. The problem was worse in mid-June, when the figure owed to the district was about $5,000. She said the district worked out payment plans with a number of parents that allowed them to make payments every two weeks. Cunningham said the remaining parents have been contacted at least a half-dozen times by phone, e-mail and letter, but she suspects “they’re just ignoring” the district’s request to pay their bills.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Planning Services Manager John Eastman, the No. 2 official in the city of Steamboat Springs’ Planning and Community Development Department, is resigning. Eastman said that he is resigning because his wife got a new job in Austin, Texas. Eastman has been a key player in the city’s negotiation of the Steamboat 700 development that is seeking annexation into city limits, and, as a Routt County planner, helped develop the West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan that is guiding the process. Eastman said he will see Steamboat 700 through; a City Council vote on whether to annex the master-planned community of about 500 acres is planned for this fall. “I will be here through the end of the year wrapping up my projects,” Eastman said. “I’m

Tuber pulls man from Yampa Paramedic says 60-year-old should be fine after river accident Jack Weinstein

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

A tuber pulled a 60-year-old man from the Yampa River west of the James Brown Soul Center of the Universe Bridge on Friday afternoon. Mike Ritchie, who’s visiting Steamboat Springs with his family from Littleton, saw the man floating head first on his back at about 3 p.m., after he and Ritchie his group exited the river. He said the man, who was tubing with his wife, was tangled up in his life vest and his head was bent backward under water as he floated down river. Ritchie said he and a few other tubers ran down the Yampa toward the man. Ritchie was able to pull the man from the river. Ritchie said the man had swallowed some water and “wasn’t very coherent.” He helped him walk toward where tubers wait for shuttles. Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue arrived shortly after.

Bystanders comfort one another as rescue workers load a man who was pulled from the Yampa River onto a stretcher near the James Brown Soul Center of the Universe Bridge on Friday afternoon. The man was transported to the Yampa Valley Medical Center to be checked out.

They gave the man medical attention and waited for his wife to exit the river. The man told Ritchie and Kathy Meadows, who also ran down the river to try and help,

that he flipped onto his back trying to get out of the river with his tube. Meadows, who also is visitSee Rescue, page 13

COMMENTARY

Do you have something to say about a story we’ve written?

No size fits all David Brooks

THE NEW YORK TIMES

If you visit a four-year college, you can predict what sort of student you are going to bump into. If you visit a community college, you have no idea. You might see an immigrant youth hoping eventually to get a Ph.D., or another youth who messed up in high school and is looking for a second chance. You might meet a 35-year-old former meth addict trying to get some job training or a 50-year-old taking classes Brooks for fun. These students may not realize it, but they’re tackling some of the country’s biggest problems. During the past 35 years, college completion rates have been flat. Income growth has stagnated. America has squandered its human capital advantage. Students at these places are on self-directed missions to reverse

that, one person at a time. Community college enrollment has been increasing at more than three times the rate of four-year colleges. This year, in the middle of the recession, many schools are seeing enrollment surges of 10 percent to 15 percent. And the investment seems to pay off. According to one study, students who earn a certificate experience a 15 percent increase in earnings. Students earning an associate degree registered an 11 percent gain. And yet funding lags. Most people in government, think tanks and the news media didn’t go to community college, and they don’t send their children to them. It’s a blind spot in their consciousness. As a result, four-year colleges receive three times as much federal money per student as community colleges. According to a Brookings Institution report, federal spending for community colleges declined six percent between 2002 and 2005, while spending on four-year colleges increased. Which is why what President Barack

Obama announced this week is so important. He announced a $12 billion plan to produce 5 million more community college grads by 2020. If the plan were just $12 billion for buildings and student aid, it wouldn’t be worth getting excited about. The money devoted to new construction amounts to about $2 million per campus. With new facilities costing in the tens of millions, that’s not a big deal. Nor is increased student aid fundamentally important. I’ve had this discussion with my liberal friends a thousand times, and I have come to accept that they will never wrap their minds around the truth: lack of student aid is not the major reason students drop out of college. They drop out because they are academically unprepared or emotionally disengaged or because they lack self-discipline or because bad things are happening at home. See Brooks, page 9

The joys of Sachs Paul Krugman

THE NEW YORK TIMES

The American economy remains in dire straits, with one worker in six unemployed or underemployed. Yet Goldman Sachs just reported record quarterly profits — and it’s preparing to hand out huge bonuses, comparable to what it was paying before the crisis. What does this contrast tell us? First, it tells us that Goldman is very good at what it does. Unfortunately, what it does is bad for Krugman America. Second, it shows that Wall Street’s bad habits — above all, the system of compensation that helped cause the financial crisis — have not gone away. Third, it shows that by rescuing the financial system without reforming it, Washington has done nothing to protect

MALLARD FILLMORE

us from a new crisis, and, in fact, has made another crisis more likely. Let’s start by talking about how Goldman makes money. During the past generation — ever since the banking deregulation of the Reagan years — the U.S. economy has been “financialized.” The business of moving money around, of slicing, dicing and repackaging financial claims, has soared in importance compared with the actual production of useful stuff. The sector officially labeled “securities, commodity contracts and investments” has grown especially fast, from only 0.3 percent of GDP in the late 1970s to 1.7 percent of GDP in 2007. Such growth would be fine if financialization really delivered on its promises — if financial firms made money by directing capital to its most productive uses, by developing innovative ways to spread and reduce risk. But can anyone, at this point, make those claims with a straight face? Financial firms, we now know, directed

vast quantities of capital into the construction of unsellable houses and empty shopping malls. They increased risk rather than reducing it, and concentrated risk rather than spreading it. In effect, the industry was selling dangerous patent medicine to gullible consumers. Goldman’s role in the financialization of America was similar to that of other players, except for one thing: Goldman didn’t believe its own hype. Other banks invested heavily in the same toxic waste they were selling to the public at large. Goldman, famously, made a lot of money selling securities backed by subprime mortgages — then made a lot more money by selling mortgage-backed securities short, just before their value crashed. All of this was perfectly legal, but the net effect was that Goldman made profits by playing the rest of us for suckers. And Wall Streeters have every incenSee Krugman, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

progress by how many hours a student spends with her butt in a classroom chair. You have to incorporate online tutoring, as the military does. You have to experiment with programs such as Digital Bridge Academy that are tailored to individual learning styles. You have to track student outcomes, as the Lumina Foundation is doing. You have to build in accountability measures for teachers and administrators. Maybe this proposal, too, will be captured by the interest groups. But its key architects, Rahm Emanuel in the White House, and Rep. George Miller have created a program that is intelligently designed and boldly presented. It’s a reminder that the Obama administration can produce hope and change — when the White House is the engine of policy creation and not the caboose.

Taxpayers placed on hook if things go wrong Krugman continued from 8 tive to keep playing that kind of game. The huge bonuses Goldman soon will hand out show that financial-industry highfliers are still operating under a system of heads they win, tails other people lose. If you’re a banker, and you generate big short-term profits, you get lavishly rewarded — and you don’t have to give the money back if and when those profits turn out to have been a mirage. You have every reason, then, to steer investors into taking risks they don’t understand. And the events of the past year have skewed those incentives even more, by putting taxpayers as well as investors on the hook if things go wrong. I won’t try to parse the competing claims about how much direct benefit Goldman

received from recent financial bailouts, especially the government’s assumption of AIG’s liabilities. What’s clear is that Wall Street in general, Goldman very much included, benefited hugely from the government’s provision of a financial backstop — an assurance that it will rescue major financial players whenever things go wrong. You can argue that such rescues are necessary if we’re to avoid a replay of the Great Depression. In fact, I agree. But the result is that the financial system’s liabilities now are backed by an implicit government guarantee. Now, the last time there was a comparable expansion of the financial safety net, the creation of federal deposit insurance in the 1930s, it was accompanied by much tighter regulation, to ensure that banks didn’t abuse

their privileges. This time, new regulations still are in the drawing-board stage — and the finance lobby already is fighting against even the most basic protections for consumers. If these lobbying efforts succeed, we’ll have set the stage for an even bigger financial disaster a few years down the road. The next crisis could look something like the savings-and-loan mess of the 1980s, in which deregulated banks gambled with, or in some cases stole, taxpayers’ money — except that it would involve the financial industry as a whole. The bottom line is that Goldman’s blowout quarter is good news for Goldman and the people who work there. It’s good news for financial superstars in general, whose paychecks are rapidly climbing back to precrisis levels. But it’s bad news for almost everyone else.

Affordability is way down the list. You can increase student aid a ton, and you still won’t have a huge effect on college completion. What’s important about the Obama initiative is that it doesn’t throw money at the problem. It ties money to reform and has the potential — the potential — to spur a wave of innovation. People who work at community colleges deserve all the love we can give them, since they get so little prestige day to day. But the fact is many community colleges do a poor job of getting students through. About half drop out before getting a degree. Most schools have poor accountability systems and inadequately track student outcomes. They have little information about what works. They have trouble engaging students on

campus. Many remedial classes (60 percent of students need them) are a joke, often because expectations are too low. The Obama initiative is designed to go right at these deeper problems. It sets up a significant innovation fund, which, if administered properly, could set in motion a spiral of change. It has specific provisions for remedial education, outcome tracking and online education. It links public sector training with specific private sector employers. Real reform takes advantage of community colleges’ most elemental feature. These colleges educate students with wildly divergent interests, goals and abilities. They host students with radically different learning styles, many of whom have floundered in traditional classrooms. Therefore, successful reform has to blow up the standard model. You can’t measure

State Bridge Lives, a two-day music festival originally scheduled for July 25 and 26 at State Bridge Lodge, has been postponed. The event has been rescheduled for Sept. 11 to 13 at State Bridge Lodge and will keep the same lineup with a few additional acts to fill an extra day of music, said event coordinator Ted Tilton. The schedule change came about because of complications with Eagle County, Tilton said, as well as traffic issues related to a bike event from Wolcott to Steamboat Springs scheduled for the late July weekend. “You’re always rolling the dice a little bit on these events, and we rolled them a little too quickly, and we had some things that came up with the county … that made it way too risky for us not to postpone,” Tilton said.

Mexicans interested in getting identification can get help all day today from the Mexican consulate. The consulate will be at the Steamboat Springs Community Center starting at 7 a.m. The agency will provide a matricula consular, a type of identification and passports to Mexican citizens in the area, said Tatiana Achcar, executive director of Integrated Community. “They’re starting early in the morning because it usually takes a lot of time to do those things,” she said.

If you go What: ID services from the Mexican consulate When: Starting at 7 a.m. today Where: Steamboat Springs Community Center, 1605 Lincoln Ave. More information: portal.sre.gob.mx/ denver, or call Integrated Community at 871-4599

Mexican citizens who want a passport or a consulate ID should bring money, photos and other documentation of their identities, according to a flier. “Typically, people have to drive to Denver to get these things done,” Achcar said. “So by them coming here, people from Moffat and Routt … can

show up and get these services.” The Denver consulate provides such services across the state, she said. Integrated Community worked with the consulate to get representatives to Steamboat. A team of 17 is here to help, she said. “Every time I saw them I would go, ‘When are you guys coming to town, when are you guys coming to town, when are you guys coming to town?’” Achcar said. The Mexican government will issue the documents, which Achcar said would be available the same day. — To reach Blythe Terrell, call 871-4234 or e-mail bterrell@steamboatpilot.com

Trafficking issue ‘complex’ Survivors continued from 1 Sometimes, traffickers come into unsuspecting rural villages and trick families into turning over their young women and female children. Other times, Lummp said, the families are desperate and willingly make a deal for money that will help them survive. And still other times, victims are kidnapped and trafficked across borders. “If you don’t catch them within the first 24 hours,” Lummp said, “they could be pretty much anywhere in the world.” In the brothels of the world, some victims of sex slavery are kept in cages and subjected to torture, Lummp said. Nearly all are physically and mentally abused. According to the Somaly Mam Foundation, more than 1 million young women and children are sold into slavery every year. At $12 billion annually, it is the most profitable criminal industry in the world behind narcotics and weapons, according to the foundation. The foundation’s namesake was born into poverty and sold into slavery at age 12. Somaly Mam was forced to work in a brothel and faced torture and sexual abuse on a daily basis. After watching a pimp murder her friend, she resolved to escape. She succeeded and ultimately returned to Cambodia. In 1996, she established the organization Acting for Women in Distressing Situations, which now has 155 social workers in Southeast Asia and has saved more than 4,000 women, including Sina. Mam also founded the

Somaly Mam Foundation with Lummp and Jared Greenberg. The foundation is “dedicated to ending human trafficking through action, advocacy and awareness.” Lummp said the mission of Voices for Change and the goal for the girls in the program is to essentially replicate Mam’s work. “It’s a very difficult problem to attack, and it’s a very complex problem to attack,” he said. “Just imagine how much more of an impact we could make with more Somaly Mams out there.” As part of their preparation, the six young women are spending a month in Denver studying English at Regis University. They came to Steamboat for a bit of a vacation and to see Western culture. At Marabou, where Lummp’s uncle owns a lot and is building a home, they are participating in activities such as horseback riding and fly-fishing. “We love it here,” Sina said. When they return to Cambodia, they will work to spread awareness and work with other survivors to teach them skills they need to find jobs and survive on their own — to help them “stand up,” as Sina put it. Lummp said those who wish to help in the fight against sex slavery and forced prostitution can donate money to the Somaly Mam Foundation at www.somaly.org. Lummp also encouraged people to educate themselves about the problem. He said a good start would be reading Mam’s book, “The Road of Lost Innocence.” — To reach Brandon Gee, call 871-4210 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

Eastman plans to go to school for master’s vacancy, we don’t see it impacting our schedule or workload.” Steamboat 700 Principal and Project Manager Danny Mulcahy said news about Eastman’s resignation does not concern him since he will stay on through the project. Mulcahy said Eastman may actually be able to devote more time and attention to the project without the distractions of

other city business. “Austin is an awesome place,” Mulcahy said. “I wish him the best of luck.” Eastman also was heavily involved with the city’s urban renewal authority at the base of Steamboat Ski Area. He joined the city more than two years ago at a time when the city was bolstering its planning staff to accommodate a growth spurt. Eastman worked in Routt

County planning for more than seven years, taking on projects including the WSSAP in 1999 and 2006, transportation aspects of the Steamboat Springs Area Community Plan Update in 2004, and numerous open space projects. In Austin, Eastman said he plans to go back to school for a master’s degree. — To reach Brandon Gee, call 871-4210 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

Gym to be closed until repairs are made Hayden continued from 4 cern can be stabilized to maintain stability and safety for the near term (for a few years) in a manner that would not be expensive but also would not be cosmetically pleasing,” the report stated. Other issues with the gym included cracks in the masonry walls and moisture in the crawlspace under the storage area on the south end of the building that may have contributed to the movement in the walls, but didn’t need immediate repairs, the letter stated. The gym will be closed until the repairs to the door are made. Rockhold said that might not happen by the time the school year begins in August, but he’s hopeful. Rockhold said Friday that the district would be able to pay for the gym repairs, but added that the district’s finances were tight because of declining revenue. “We’re holding our own, but we’re trimming out some

smaller items,” Rockhold said about the 2009-10 budget. “Quite a few items were cut.” He said budgets for each individual school were cut 15 percent and that the district isn’t spending like it has in years past. Rockhold said losing more than $100,000 in mineral lease funds hurt, but the district received about $43,000 in forestry funds, which was provided by state statute. And it received a more than $20,000 emergency grant from the Colorado Department of Education to replace the elementary school’s fire alarm system. The district received $10,000 from the Education Fund Board to replace the system’s control panel but was later told by the state fire marshal it had to replace the entire system at a total cost of $30,000. He told board members Wednesday that because the district was given the emergency grant from the state, it didn’t have to dip into district funds.

Without replacing the system, students wouldn’t have been allowed inside the school. Rockhold will travel to Durango on Wednesday to request $500,000 from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs Energy and Mineral Impact Assistant Fund to switch the high school’s administrative offices with the library. He said the move would make the building safer. With $60 million in requests and only $23 million in the fund, Rockhold said there will be competition for the impact funds. And without the grant funding, the project will be delayed. He said Hayden is a small rural district with lots of needs that will have to find ways to fund. “I’m not concerned. I’m an optimist,” he said. “The district is doing OK. We just have to watch what we spend, and we’ll make budget.” — To reach Jack Weinstein, call 871-4203 or e-mail jweinstein@steamboatpilot.com

Mares said in the release that Colorado was in better shape than other states. “Colorado’s unemployment rate rose in lockstep with the nation’s from September to March, although since March, unemployment in the state has stabilized while the national rate has continued to climb,” Mares said. The national unemployment rate was at a 26-year high of 9.5 percent in June. Dolores County’s unemployment rate was the highest in Colorado, 14.6 percent. That

represents few jobs, however. The county’s work force is 992, and 847 of those people are employed. Cheyenne and Hinsdale counties had the lowest unemployment rates, at 3.4 and 3.3 percent, respectively. Moffat County’s rate was 6.8 percent, up from 6.6 percent in May. Like Routt, that county saw increases in its labor force and its number of people employed. The Workforce Center in Steamboat has seen its job numbers decrease dramatically compared with previous summers. The center’s list of open-

ings can reach more than 200 during peak times. A recent count showed 14 open jobs. Moffat County, Rangely and Meeker have had longer lists. Bradbury said last week that he’s seen more people traveling from Routt to Moffat for work, though it’s usually the other way around. Still, he said he was pleased to see any decrease in unemployment rates. “Going up 1 whole percent is very good,” Bradbury said. “That tickles us.” — To reach Blythe Terrell, call 871-4234 or e-mail bterrell@steamboatpilot.com

Mercury dump site hearing on Tuesday Steven K. Paulson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Environmental groups are gearing up for a hearing next week on whether Colorado will become a dump site for hazardous mercury wastes. The hearing is scheduled Tuesday in Grand Junction, near the proposed site that currently serves as a federal dump site for uranium wastes. The U.S. Department of Energy says it is looking for a place to store as much as 17,000 tons of the dangerous waste, which has been linked to serious health concerns, including heart and neural disorders. Mercury is used in gold mining, and manufacturing chlorine and caustic soda. It’s reclaimed

from recycling and waste recovery operations and also is used in electronic equipment. Frank Smith, spokesman for the Western Colorado Congress, a conservation group, said the proposal to store the hazardous waste caught many people by surprise, including environmental groups. He said few details have been made public, and his group hasn’t had time to poll members to reach a consensus. “There certainly are concerns at face value, including the proximity to the Colorado River. When you talk about having hazardous materials, especially mercury with its serious health effects, next to one of the biggest tributaries of the Colorado River, which could affect millions of people, we have some concerns,” Smith said.

11 hepatitis C cases now linked to state hospital THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Another hepatitis C case has been linked to a Denver hospital where health officials suspect an infected surgery technician swapped her dirty syringes for ones filled with a powerful painkiller meant for patients. Colorado health officials said Friday a total of 11 former Rose Medical Center patients have now tested positive for hepatitis C. Each received treatment at the facility while 26-year-old Kristen Diane Parker worked there from October to April. More testing is needed to determine if the infections came from Parker, who has been jailed without bond on federal tampering and drug-related charges. Investigations also are under way at hospitals in New York and Texas where Parker worked. No likely cases have been report-

ed in those other states. Parker worked at Audubon Surgery Center in Colorado Springs from May until her arrest in June. Some 900 former surgery patients at the facility have been tested, but so far, no hepatitis cases have been linked to Parker. Nearly 550 Audubon patients have tested negative, but state health officials said it could take as many as seven weeks for the infection to show up in the bloodstream. “We are making every effort to quickly contact those patients who have been tested, by phone and in writing, to share the results with them,” Audubon said in a statement. It was unclear how many Rose patients have been tested. A hospital spokeswoman did not immediately return messages seeking comment Friday. The state health department said 1,250 former Rose patients have tested negative for the bloodborn disease.

Efforts by state and federal officials, volunteers and wildlife advocates have prompted the Interior Department to declare three abandoned uranium mines in Colorado as havens for bats. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar signed a measure Wednesday to make development off-limits at the western Colorado mines for the next 20 years. The three mines are roosts where Townsend’s Big-eared bats give birth. “You find very few maternity roosts for these species. The mines provide 50 to 60 percent of the maternity roosts in the state for the bats,” said Kirk Navo, a wildlife conservation biologist with the Colorado Division of Wildlife. The Division of Wildlife has

declared the bat a species of special concern in Colorado because its numbers have declined. The bat’s ears are about a third of its total length, roughly 3 to 4 inches. Navo said it took about two years of work by state and federal agencies and private groups to protect the mines. A recent increase in new uranium claims driven by rising prices stirred fears the bats might lose their shelters. State wildlife employees proposed filing mining claims to protect the land. Navo said the Colorado chapter of the Wildlife Society paid to file the claims and the Colorado Bat Society agreed to hold the claims, buying time for state and federal officials to draft an agreement. “It’s a good example that if people pull together and work on something, they can get it

done despite all the bureaucracy,” Navo said. The mines are on federal land near Grand Junction, Montrose and Dolores and cover 23 acres. “These three sites represent all known maternity roost sites for this species on BLM lands in Colorado,” said Dave Hunsaker, acting state director with the Bureau of Land Management. The BLM and U.S. Forest Service work with state wildlife officials to protect bats that take up roost in abandoned mines. Navo heads the state Bats/ Inactive Mines Project, which includes the state Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. Instead of closing abandoned mines frequented by bats, the federal and state agencies cooperate to install gates that allow the bats freely fly in and out.

Bear suspected of killing farm animals AROUND COLORADO

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PUEBLO

Wildlife officers are trying to trap a bear thought to have killed lambs, goats and pigs at a Pueblo-area farm this week. A total of eight animals were killed in attacks Tuesday and Thursday. Division of Wildlife spokesman Michael Seraphin says the attacking animal is almost certainly a juvenile bear, but officers also have set out a trap for a mountain lion in addition to bear traps. They also set up a motionsensor camera and assigned a wildlife officer to watch the

property for two consecutive mornings. Louella Cruz, whose family owns the farm where the animals were killed, says the family hasn’t seen the attacker but heard the farm animals’ cries. She says the sound is “horrible.” Cruz will be reimbursed $1,100 under a game damage program.

State unemployment rate unchanged at 7.6 percent DENVER

Colorado’s unemployment rate for June was unchanged at

7.6 percent. The state Department of Labor and Employment released the figures Friday. The department says the number of Coloradans with jobs declined 18,300 last month but the number who were unemployed declined by 3,000. Donald J. Mares, executive director of the labor department, says Colorado had one of the smallest unemployment increases in the nation between March and June. Still, the number of Coloradans without jobs is 73,500 higher than a year ago. The national unemployment rate was 9.5 percent in June.

Banks raking in large profits Financial institutions earn money through investments, trading Stephen Bernard and Ieva M. Augstums THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

Cowgirls & Angels Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs earned profits this spring largely on investment banking and trading — not traditional banking businesses, which still look shaky. Citi benefited from selling its majority stake in the Smith Barney brokerage. Strip away those money-makers, and the banks have to rely on customers who are losing their

jobs or earning less money. The banks will suffer as long as their customers do. Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup reported they lost more money on loans during the second quarter. Bank of America alone set aside $13.4 billion to cover loan losses. But the banks also saw signs that loan delinquencies were starting to stabilize.

Jobless rate tops 10 percent in 15 states Jeannine Aversa

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Fifteen states have crossed a painful threshold: 10 percent unemployment. More states, and the nation, likely will follow, one of the biggest dangers to an economic recovery. How consumers behave in the face of rising unemployment will figure prominently in shaping a broader rebound. If they go back into hibernation and sharply cut spending like

they did at the end of last year, the recovery could cave in. More likely is that consumers will stay cautious, making for a fragile and slow-moving national economic turnaround, economists said. The Labor Department on Friday said unemployment topped 10 percent in 15 states and the District of Columbia last month. And the jobless rate in Michigan surpassed 15 percent, the first time any state hit that mark since 1984. The Federal Reserve this

week projected that the national unemployment rate, currently at a 26-year high of 9.5 percent, will pass 10 percent by the end of the year. Most Fed policymakers said it could take “five or six years” for the economy and the labor market to get back on a path of longterm health. “With so much uncertainty, companies will stay in cost-cutting mode, and consumers will watch their spending,” said Steve Cochrane, managing director at Moody’s Economy.com.

The big banks are making big money again, but they won’t be back to health as long as they have to deal with a recession and customers defaulting on mortgages and credit cards. The impressive numbers included a $3 billion second-quarter profit announced Friday by Citigroup and $2.4 billion for Bank of America. They followed similarly robust earnings for Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase. That the banks managed to turn a profit at all is remarkable. Just 10 months ago, many of them looked to be on the verge of collapse. The stock market staged a huge rally this week, driven by the signs of health in banking. But Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis had some sobering words during a conference call with Wall Street analysts after his company’s results were released Friday: “Profitability in the second half of the year will be much tougher than the first half.”

Galloping to the aid of the nation’s wild horses and burros, the House voted Friday to rescue them from the possibility of a government-sponsored slaughter and give them millions more acres to roam. But the effort may get penned up in the Senate. The bill passed the House, 239-185, with Republican opponents arguing that it underscored wrongheaded Democratic priorities by focusing on animals instead of people at a time when the nation’s unemployment rate is approaching double digits. An estimated 36,000 wild horses and burros live in 10 Western states. Federal officials estimate that’s about 9,400 more than can exist in balance with other rangeland resources. Off the range, more than 31,000 other wild horse and burros are cared for in corrals and pastures. The plan aims to reduce the number of animals kept in holding pens awaiting adoption and to reduce the stress on land currently set aside for them. Supporters mobilized after the

WASHINGTON

President Barack Obama, worried about growing resistance to his health care plan, exhorted Congress not to “lose heart” Friday and urged deeper cost cuts to calm concern about the huge expense of covering millions of uninsured Americans. “What we want to do is force the Obama Congress to make sure that they are acting” on recommendations to hold down Medicare and Medicaid spending, the president said, rather than allowing reports to sit unused on a shelf. Aiming to rally lawmakers, he spoke from the White House near the end of a week of tumult for the legislation atop his domestic agenda. “Now, I realize that the last few miles of any race are the hardest to run, but I have to say now is not the time to slow down, and now is certainly not the time to lose heart,” he declared. A few hours earlier, two House committees approved their portions of the sweeping health care bill over Republican objections. That left one more panel to act, but conservative Democrats were rebelling, demanding additional measures to hold down skyrocketing costs. Given the complexities, as well as fresh calls for delay in the Senate, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., opened the door to pushing off a vote past the early August timeline she and Obama laid out weeks ago. Whatever the difficulties, she predicted legislation would pass that will transform the nation’s health care system, extending coverage to millions who lack it while slowing the growth in costs generally. “It is really historic. It’s transformation. It’s momentous,” she told reporters at a news conference.

Investigators initiate drug war Officials battle giant cocaine distribution operation across country Todd Richmond

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WATERTOWN, WIS.

In this Midwestern town 1,500 miles from Mexico, in a place that proudly proclaims itself the birthplace of kindergarten, Coco the cocaine kingpin flourished. Coco came to the United States illegally and used layers of family members and henchmen to build an operation that saturated southeastern Wisconsin with cocaine until authorities moved in. Then the players started falling — two dead in Mexico, nearly two dozen locked up in American prisons. It’s a story that echoes elsewhere. The U.S. Justice Department says more than 200 U.S. cities have seen cartelrelated drug smuggling. Much has been made of Houston’s gun trafficking, Phoenix’s kidnappings and Atlanta’s status as a drug-distribution hub. But Coco’s tale illustrates just how far from the border Mexican drug dealers set up shop, and how easily they infiltrate a town, hide in plain sight

and build a lucrative operation. “You feel that Watertown is a safe town and that you’re isolated from a lot of that,” said Karen Timm, 62, who lives two doors down from an apartment one of Coco’s dealers used. “Now you know that you’re vulnerable.” In the late 1990s, Jefferson County Sheriff ’s drug officers started hearing about a Hispanic drug ring moving about a pound of cocaine into the area every month. But they couldn’t get anyone to name names. In 2005, Detective Sgt. Tim Madson, leader of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s drug task force, decided to question dealers and users more sharply about the ring, sometimes offering to reduce charges for information. The same name kept surfacing: Coco. In July 2007, an informant introduced Brian Prieve, an undercover Dodge County sheriff ’s deputy, to two Mexican distributors. Prieve started collecting phone numbers and placing cocaine orders

with Coco, a cool, confident Mexican who spoke excellent English. Coco never showed himself, always sending runners to deliver the drugs. He was “just a voice,” Prieve said. Two months later, a 46year-old drifter and suspected cocaine dealer named Arnold Wood called Madson and said he wanted to turn his life around. He talked about Coco. Wood said he was buying as many as 15 ounces of cocaine a day from Coco on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, he bought up to 25 ounces a day. He sold it all across the region. Business was so good, he branched out to subcontractors. Investigators still aren’t certain where all the cocaine originated. Mexican cartels bring the drugs across the border and into hub cities such as Houston and Atlanta to be shipped out. From there, it filters down through many distributors.

bombers kill 8 �� Suicide Blasts at Marriott, Ritz also wound more than 50 people �� Anthony Deutsch

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

��

JAKARTA, INDONESIA

��

Two days ago, they checked into room 1808 at the swank J.W. Marriott Hotel — smuggling explosives past metal detectors and security guards. Behind the closed door, investigators say the suicide attackers then assembled the bombs set off Friday at the Marriott and the Ritz-Carlton next door.

The blasts killed at least eight people and wounded more than 50 — and broke a four-year lull in terrorism in the world’s most populous Muslim nation. Although significantly weakened by a crackdown in recent years, the attacks indicated Islamic militants still have the means to mount deadly assaults, even in heavily protected areas of Indonesia’s capital. The bombings also exposed the challenge of securing luxury hotels frequented by Westerners, a popular target for terrorists. A group of more than a dozen executives with American and other Western companies was holding a regular Friday morning meeting near the Marriott restaurant where the explosives were detonated, and many of them were among the victims, hospital lists showed. At least eight Americans were among those injured in the two blasts. Indonesia was last hit by terrorists in October 2005, when three suicide bombers with explosivesladen backpacks killed 20 people at restaurants on the resort island of Bali. The Jakarta Marriott was targeted six years ago in a

car bombing that left 12 people dead. Both attacks were blamed on the Southeast Asian terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah. Friday’s attackers evaded hotel security and smuggled explosives into the Marriott by posing as guests and assembling the bombs in room 1808 where an undetonated device later was found by police. “They had been using the room as their ‘command post’ since July 15, and today they were supposed to check out,” police chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri said. At the Marriott, such a “deluxe” room, with marble-decorated bathrooms and plush furnishings, goes for about $200 a night. Security video footage captured the moment of the explosion. The brief, grainy images show a man in a cap pulling a bag on wheels across the Marriott lobby toward the restaurant, followed by a flash and a blast of white smoke. “There was a big explosion followed by a shock wave,” said Ahmad Rochadi, a security guard at the Marriott who was checking cars in the basement. “I rushed upstairs and saw smoke billowing from the lobby.”

Powerful Iranian cleric says country is in crisis Ali Akbar Dareini

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEHRAN, IRAN

In a sign of endurance for Iran’s protest movement, demonstrators clashed with police Friday as one of the nation’s most powerful clerics challenged the supreme leader during Muslim prayers, saying country was in crisis in the wake of a disputed election. The turnout of tens of thousands of worshippers for former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani’s sermon at Tehran University and the battles with police outside represented the biggest opposition show of strength in weeks. Protesters faced fierce government suppression and hundreds were arrested following the disputed June 12 presidential election. Outside the university, protests grew from several hundred before the sermon to thousands afterward as worshippers joined in, chanting, “death to the dictator,” a reference to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Protesters were confronted by riot police and a menacing line of pro-government Basiji militiamen on motorcycles, who charged with batons.

Plainclothes Basijis fired volleys of tear gas, and young protesters with green bandanas over their faces kicked the canisters across the pavement. Some set a bonfire in the street and waved their hands in victory signs. Dozens were arrested, taken away in trucks, witnesses said. Protests, which flared following the election, had been stifled in recent weeks. The sometimes tearful sermon by Rafsanjani could be a significant boost to the movement’s staying power. It was an open challenge to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, aired live on nationwide radio from one of the country’s most potent political stages. By openly showing the divisions in the leadership, it punched a hole in efforts by Khamenei and hard-line clerics to end the controversy about Ahmadinejad’s re-election. Worshippers chanted “azadi, azadi,” Persian for “freedom,” during Rafsanjani’s sermon, his first since the election. Opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi, who claims to have won the election, sat among the worshippers, attending the country’s main prayer service for the first time since the turmoil began.

Slain activist faced Chechen leader Confrontation with Kadyrov creates suspicion about Estemirova’s death Musa Sadulayev and Steve Gutterman THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GROZNY, RUSSIA

Natalya Estemirova’s last meeting with Chechnya’s strongman president did not go well: She faced Ramzan Kadyrov and his lieutenants alone, summoned for a chilling dressing down in which he boasted of having “blood from my hands to my elbows.” The March 2008 confrontation was not the human rights activist’s first brush with the bullnecked boxing enthusiast. But looking back, some of her colleagues say, it may have been a grim forewarning of her violent end. On Wednesday, the 50-yearold single mother and onetime schoolteacher was kidnapped, reportedly driven past police checkpoints, shot in the head and dumped by a roadside.

It was an attack eerily similar to many of the slayings she investigated in her war-ravaged Russian province. Rights activists have laid Estemirova’s death at the doorstep of the Kremlin-backed Kadyrov, whose security forces they accuse of the abduction, torture and murder of suspected insurgents and their relatives. They said Kadyrov’s rule had created a climate of lawlessness and impunity that made her killing possible. “Who is to blame for Natalya’s murder? I know this person’s name,” Oleg Orlov, leader of Moscow-based Memorial, told a news conference Thursday. “His name is Ramzan Kadyrov.” After two vicious wars between Russian forces and separatists, marked by human rights abuses on both sides, Kadyrov, 32, claims to have brought law and order to Chechnya.

Benedict �� breaks wrist, has �� surgery �� THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AOSTA, ITALY

Pope Benedict XVI waved reassuringly to well-wishers outside a hospital Friday where he underwent surgery to set a fractured right wrist suffered when he fell in his Alpine vacation chalet. The 82-year-old pope’s overnight accident was the first significant medical issue of Benedict XVI his 4-year-old papacy, but doctors said he would suffer no longterm effects and would be able to return to playing piano and writing once the wrist heals. His cast will be removed in a month. The pontiff ’s first public appearance of his mountain holiday is scheduled for Sunday in Ivrea, the hometown of his No. 2, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone where he is to deliver his traditional Sunday blessing. “We hope that his remaining schedule can be preserved,” Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi told Vatican Radio.

But Estemirova’s reports painted a far darker picture. Orlov said Estemirova’s detailed investigations described Chechnya as a lawless province where “it’s possible to abduct people every day, kill them, put them in secret prisons” without little or no risk of punishment. The result was not surprising: “Ramzan Kadyrov hated Natasha,” he said. The Chechen president, rights advocates say, wasn’t just worried about the image of his homeland. He saw Estemirova as a personal challenge to his authority and prestige. Activists said Kadyrov was outraged when Estemirova, in televised remarks in March 2008, criticized his order for women and girls to wear headscarves in schools, universities and government offices — a requirement that clashed with Russian law and, many Chechens say,

Chechen traditions. The Chechen leader “yelled at her, asked questions about who she lived with, where her relatives were and how old her daughter was,” said Tatyana Lokshina, a researcher with the Human Rights Watch who specializes in Chechnya and the surrounding region. “With Kadyrov, she spoke like a schoolteacher — she put this D-student in his place,” said Alexander Cherkasov, a Chechnya expert at Memorial, choking back tears at a Moscow news conference Thursday. “But he knew how to do more than just spit wads of paper from the back row.” Kadyrov and the Kremlin have angrily rebutted allegations of any involvement in the murder, and a Kadyrov spokesman said Friday said he would file a slander lawsuit against Memorial’s Orlov.

A year ago, Ron Pannesi wasn’t sure Steamboat Springs would even have a disc golf course for the summer of 2009. The course he had worked so hard to establish near the base of Steamboat Ski Area had turned into a wasteland, its once green canopy giving way to the red rot of beetle kill. The 18hole track closed early last year at the insistence of the ski area. Many of the trees that made the course so challenging, so fun and so popular had died and were slated to be destroyed. Now, midway through the summer that at one time so worried Pannesi, he said disc golf has never been more popular, in the state or in Steamboat. “It’s just growing by leaps and bounds,” he said. A little creative hole-making allowed the already-established course near the Thunderhead lift to return for another summer. The course today cuts around the decimated Rough Rider area near the Thunderhead base. “We had to redesign about six holes,” Pannesi said. “The upper part of the course is totally different. There are definitely still a lot of dead trees, but it’s much better than it was. Now we get into a lot of aspen and scrub oak areas — things we haven’t had in our course.” The effort to save the Thunderhead course already has started to pay off, Pannesi said. It recently was listed as one of the nation’s top adventure disc golf courses. “In the middle of nowhere, yet it’s a great destination town. Every picture you take will be beautiful, and it’s hard. You will sweat like you ran a 10K,” reviewer JD Andrews wrote. Pannesi said that publicity has helped raise awareness across the state for the course, and that a steady stream of the region’s top players have stopped in this summer to unleash a few throws in the often-challenging terrain. He hopes that awareness gets another boost later this summer.

Ubaldo Jimenez struck out 10 and allowed three hits in seven innings to lead the Colorado Rockies to a 5-3 win against the San Diego Padres on Friday night. Clint Barmes homered for the second straight game for the FRIDAY’S GAME: Rockies, who are 29-9 since June 4. Rockies 5 Ian Stewart hit a Padres 3 two-run double and made two nice plays at third base, and Chris Iannetta also had a two-run hit. The Padres are a major league-worst 11-29 since June 1. Jimenez (7-9) won for the first time in five starts. He’d gone, 0-3, in four starts since beating Tampa Bay on June 18. The right-hander reached double digits in strikeouts for the fifth time in his career and fell one short of his career best, which came against the Padres at Petco Park on May 10, 2008. He allowed all three Padres runs and walked four. Huston Street pitched a perfect ninth for his 23rd save in 24 chances. Barmes, who hit a three-run homer in Colorado’s 10-1 win Friday night, hit a solo shot to left field with one out in the first off Josh Geer. It was his 12th. Iannetta made it 3-0 in the second with a bases-loaded bloop single to right with two outs. Stewart was thrown out trying to score from first to end the inning. Stewart hit a two-run double to right-center to make it 5-1 in the fifth. San Diego responded with two runs in the bottom half. Everth Cabrera hit a run-scoring triple to right and scored on Jimenez’s wild pitch.

for me,” she said. “The people were great, and it’s awesome to be a part of this.” It also helps that Ivancie’s stick skills, which led her to be a captain her senior year of high school, transferred over pretty well to Puget Sound. Ivancie played defense for the Loggers in the spring, playing in 11 of 12 games, including seven starts. Puget Sound went, 10-2, on the year and just missed out on a bid to play in the Division III National Championships. “She’s just passionate about

things she commits to,” Jenn Kirkpatrick, Ivancie’s high school coach, said. “She loves the sport for lots of reason. I definitely see her pursuing it. Down the line she would make a great coach.” This year, Ivancie said the schedule will be much tougher — a must to get consideration for the national championships — and include trips to the East Coast and Chicago for games. Ivancie said the level of play wasn’t the biggest difference she found from going from high school to college lacrosse. She said at Puget Sound the players already knew what they were doing.

“You fit in, and you find your place,” she said. “It’s awesome. I get to play my one position, and everyone does their part.” Although Ivancie said she anticipates playing for the rest of her college career, she said balancing the workload can be tough. Still, she said she’s glad she found a place where the opportunity of girls lacrosse presented itself. While her focus is on her studies and biology in particular, lacrosse, she said, always will have a spot with her. “I just noticed people are genuine in lacrosse,” she said. “I’ve gotten to know the best people through lacrosse.”

The Colorado state championships are behind being contested on a mountain course near Fort Collins. Seeking to draw a large field for the second-annual Steamboat Open tournament, Pannesi moved the tournament to the week before that state championship. The Steamboat tournament will be Sept 5 and 6. “We’re billing the Steamboat Open as the last mountain course prep for the state championships,” Pannesi said. The Steamboat Open event attracted 61 competitors from across the region in its debut

last year. “It should be even bigger this year,” Pannesi. Pannesi, the driving force behind the sport in Steamboat, won’t stop dreaming after the tournament comes, either. He led the charge to have a new course included at Rita Valentine Park. “It’s kind of a flat park with a few rolling hills, so it wouldn’t be a mountain course,” he said. “It’s still a long way down the road, but it would be great for that course to be designed in a family orientated way.” He said he also would love to see a second course on the slopes of Mount Werner.

If you go What: Thunderhead Disc Golf Course When: The course is free and open every day through the summer. Where: The course is near the base of the Thunderhead chairlift at Steamboat Ski Area. Drive up Burgess Creek Road and park in the available parking near the lift. Signs direct the way to the course. Maps and scorecards also are available at the ski area information center in Gondola Square.

Lance Armstrong stayed in third place after a wet and chilly ride Friday and lost a crucial ally for the rest of the Tour de France when teammate Levi Leipheimer withdrew because of a broken wrist. The 13th stage from Vittel to Colmar, won by Germany’s Heinrich Haussler, Armstrong was less secure for riders Julian Dean and Oscar Freire: they were lightly injured by shots from a suspected air rifle from the roadside. The top standings didn’t change in the 124-mile stage through the rolling hills of northeast France that fea-

CYCLING — TOUR DE FRANCE tured three big climbs, including the demanding Col du Platzerwasel. Armstrong, who trails overall leader Rinaldo Nocentini, of Italy, by eight seconds and Astana teammate Alberto Contador by two, said a crucial showdown awaits in Sunday’s ride into Switzerland. “That one is almost a guarantee because it’s uphill,” the seventime champion said about the ride from Pontarlier, France, to the Swiss ski station of Verbier. “For sure, it’s a decisive stage and exciting for the fans.” Armstrong and Contador expressed regret about the withdrawal of Leipheimer before the stage. Leipheimer, who had been fourth overall, 39 seconds behind Nocentini, fell off his bike and broke his

wrist in the last two miles of Thursday’s stage. He had surgery on the wrist Friday, and Astana members said he would return to the United States as soon as possible to begin his recovery. “My wrist hurts a lot but it doesn’t compare to the pain of watching the Tour leave me behind and not be able to ride the Tour with my teammates,” Leipheimer said in a statement. “We’ve had a big battle so far. We’re the favorites, and I wanted to be part of that.” Leipheimer and Armstrong have a close relationship within Astana, which Armstrong says is riven by “tension” with Contador. “He’s a good friend of mine so it makes it even more unfortunate, but that’s cycling,” said Armstrong, stressing that Leipheimer’s absence is a big loss.

Pikes Peak racers aim to break time barrier THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLORADO SPRINGS

Three-time champion Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima has been chasing the 10-minute barrier in the Pikes Peak Interntaional Hill Climb for years. He’ll have plenty of company Sunday for his next assault on the record. Four-time Swedish rally champion Andreas Eriksson and two-time world rally champion Marcus Gronholm will drive a pair of supercharged Ford Rallycross Fiestas in the Unlimited class along with Tajima, who set the race record

of 10:01.408 two years ago. They will be joined by British rallycross champion Mark Rennison, who will drive a 1999 Ford RS200 in an attempt to break the elusive time barrier in the Race to the Clouds. “The mountain is not a place for the feint-hearted,” the 59year-old Tajima said. “It’s a very specialized course, long and very challenging with its own unique characteristics that take years to come to terms with. “Car setup is also something that is unique to this event, and without previous experience on the mountain, I am sure the newcomers will find this event

a huge challenge.” Twelve defending champions return this year, including Time Attack 2-wheel drive division champion Rhys Millen, who set a record of 12:31.06 last year. Super Stock Car class winner Clint Vasholtz, who has won 15 of the 17 Hill Climbs he has entered, is back to chase the career victory record of 18 held by his father, Leonard. Paul Dallenbach, a threetime overall race champion who’s won the Open Wheel division five times, also will challenge the 10-minute barrier. He’s driving an 850-horsepower Chevrolet owned by Leonard Arnold of Lyons.

In one unforgettable hour, as nostalgia gave way to disbelief, Tom Watson and Tiger Woods walked off the 18th green at Turnberry headed in opposite directions few could have imagined. The oldest player at the British Open was leading. The best player was leaving. Woods Even a tournament that has been around for 149 years still can serve up a shocker or two. “It’s as if the spirits are on my side,” said Watson, a 59-year-old wonder who made history Friday afternoon as the oldest player to lead a major championship. “Kept making mistake after

mistake,” said Woods, the No. 1 player in the world. Watson played his best golf on the toughest stretch at Turnberry, then finished with a pair of birdie putts that were nearly as long as his odds of winning another claret jug. The last one was a 45-footer on the 18th that gave him an evenpar 70, putting him in the lead with British Open rookie Steve Marino, who had a 68. Woods came through an hour later and was at his worst. He hit one tee shot that was never found in the high grass along the dunes right of the 10th fairway. He hit into a fairway bunker for the first time all week. It took him two shots to get up a bank and onto the green. Woods dropped seven shots during that wretched six-hole

stretch, and not even two late birdies could spare him the indignation of missing the cut in a major for only the second time in his professional career, and the first time in any tournament in more than three years. Needing to chip in for birdie on the 18th hole, he came up a few feet short and tapped in for a 74. “I kept compounding my problems out there,” he said. Forget about Woods’ pursuit of Jack Nicklaus’ 18 majors. Now it’s about Watson going after Harry Vardon and his six British Opens. “I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think I could win,” Watson said. He was at 5-under 135 with Marino, a 29-year-old American who didn’t know until last weekend that he had gotten into the British Open, and then had to fly his father from Virginia to his home in Florida to fetch Marino’s passport.

DO YOU RIDE IN NORTH ROUTT?

The Forest Service will soon be issuing a scoping document for the “Columbine Parking Area and Snowmobile Trail Reroute”. Routt Powder Riders Snowmobile Club does not have the document yet, but we expect it to propose: 1) a summer and winter parking lot further up FS 550 about 1-2 miles likely closing the quarry parking lot, and 2) a trail east of the current route for the groomer to get from State Parks to FS 550. The comment period is expected to be open for only 30 days. For more information visit routtpowderriders.com The website will be updated once we receive the scoping document.
