2 The Sheridan Press, Friday, November 11, 2005 Rating system in works for early-childhood programs By Nathan Jerke Staff reporter The Wyoming Children’s Action Alliance is making sure the state is aware of a bill in the Joint Labor, Health and Social Services Committee that would create a rating and incentive program for early-childhood-development programs. The new program, which will go before the committee Monday in Casper, is part of the recommendation from a two-year study sparked by the Wyoming Children and Families Initiative. “The system will provide the foundation for children and families in our state,” said Deanna Frey, executive director of the Wyoming Children’s Action Alliance. “If we can provide the appropriate intervention, whether that be in the home or in the child-care center or preschool or Head Start, that child is going to be far more likely to succeed when they get to public school,” she said. Frey is traveling throughout the state this month to share details of the childhood-development system. Drilling (Continued from Page 1) Freudenthal also wrote to Rep. Barbara Cubin, R- Wyo., last month expressing concern about legislation that would ease government restrictions on winter drilling. Azar said that although there has been discussion in the Senate about easing winter drilling restrictions, there has been no legislation introduced yet in the Senate to do so.

In his letter this week, Freudenthal noted that his administration has worked out an agreement to allow winter drilling in the Pinedale area with an energy company willing to agree to certain restrictions. Despite Hardy’s statement that the Energy Committee won’t respond to Freudenthal’s letter, at least one of the New Mexico senators does intend to respond to him. 1-800-235-5663 Get Greater Coverage Cellular One in your area will soon become Alltel Wireless — but you don’t have to wait to start taking advantage of what Alltel has to offer.

Frey will also be in Buffalo at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Buffalo Children’s Center, 151 S. Klondike St. Frey said there are five different components to the system: a five-star quality-rating system to grade childcare programs; an incentive payment to providers that will correspond with the quality rating to help increase pay for workers and quality of care for children; professional development to increase education and longevity of staff members; technical assistance and grants for increased capacity; and parent support to help provide parenting tools, find child and health care, and develop contacts for local services. “Everyone from our lawmakers all the way down to our average person using child care is beginning to understand the impact of care in the early years,” said Sue Heuermann of the Department of Family Services in Sheridan. According to the DFS Web site, the Wyoming Children and Families Initiative was adopted by the Sheridan It is estimated that it will cost $1.8 million to run Forward Sheridan, and $1.2 million has already been raised through pledges from local individuals and businesses. Once the fund raising is complete, it is likely that Forward Sheridan coffers will have more than enough money, said Mayor Dave Kinskey, the campaign general chairman for Forward Sheridan. Poll (Continued from Page 1) (Continued from Page 1) The president gets credit from a majority for being strong and decisive, but he’s also seen by an overwhelming number of people as ‘‘stubborn,’’ a perception reinforced by his refusal to yield on issues like the Iraq war, tax cuts and support for staffers under intense pressure. More than eight in 10, 82 percent, described Bush as ‘‘stubborn,’’ with almost that many Republicans agreeing to that description.

The initiative outlines a comprehensive plan to improve the lives and futures of children and families in Wyoming. “We’re in such a prime situation now to really make it happen here, for all of our kids. And not just special needs and not just low income, but for all of our children,” Heuermann said. Early-childhood development is only a small piece of the overall mission of the initiative, which could include recommendations for family health, schools and the judicial system. According to the Children’s Action Alliance, research has shown children who receive quality care before age 5 are more successful in school and life. “I think there are a lot of people still that don’t have any idea what it is, and that’s why I’m out on the road, to help people understand what it’s about, what value it brings to our communities,” Frey said. Frey said when children receive proper intervention at an early age, they are more likely to succeed when entering school and are less likely to be held back, end up in special education, and get involved in drugs or the juvenile-justice system. The Forward Sheridan action plan was drafted by Atlanta-based National Community Development Services Inc. That company has also implemented plans for Casper, Cheyenne and Laramie, said John Posusta, one of the firm’s employees. But Sheridan faces several challenges when it comes to attracting workers. County wages are 28 percent below the U.S. average and 19 percent below Wyoming’s, according to Forward Sheridan. encouraged to shake up his staff and change the direction of White House policies. Concern about the administration’s ethics has been fueled by the controversy over flawed intelligence leading up to the Iraq war and the recent indictment of Vice President Dick Cheney’s top aide, I. Lewis ‘‘Scooter’’ Libby, on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice for his role in the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame’s name. That loss of trust complicates Bush’s efforts to rebuild his standing with the public. His job approval rating remains at his alltime low in the AP-Ipsos poll of 37 percent. $ 99 39mo Additional charges apply. See below.* Roush’s Cellular 501 S. Douglas Hwy.

She said there is also an economic impact for local communities, because money given to local child-care facilities through incentives and grants will likely be spent in those communities and will increase local employment. “I think it’s foolish to pay later; why not do it up front and avoid some of those problems? ... Society might benefit from more capable individuals growing up,” Heuermann said. Monday’s committee meeting in Casper will consider the draft bill for the early-childhood-development system. The Children and Families Initiative presentation is tentatively scheduled for 1:15 p.m. in the Oil and Gas Commission Building at 2111 King Blvd. “The bottom line is, I don’t know how we can (go wrong); it (the bill) would be a model for the nation and a model that Wyoming really does care about its children. “We care enough that we invest in them today for short-term and long-term benefits,” Frey said.

Bush and the GOP must return to their message that the United States has been safe from terrorism during his administration, DePino said. Business news?

concerned about inflation. Mortgage giant Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the nationwide average for 30year, fixed-rate mortgages rose to 6.36 percent, up from 6.31 percent last week. That was the highest level since 30-year mortgages were at 6.44 percent in early September 2003. Rates on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages, a popular choice for refinancing a home mortgage, averaged 5.89 percent this week, up from 5.85 percent last week. One-year adjustable rate mortgages rose to 5.12 percent, up from 5.09 percent last week. Rates on five-year hybrid adjustable rate mortgages averaged 5.81 percent this week, up from 5.76 percent last week. The nationwide averages for mortgage rates do not include add-on fees known as points. Commodities Cash Petroleum NEW YORK (AP) — Petroleum cash prices Thursday compared with Wednesday Thu. Wed.

United finished recalling furloughed attendants last month and has 15,500 on active duty, Jane Allen, senior vice president of onboard service, said Thursday. The airline, which has a hub in Denver, has not hired new cabin crew employees in more than four years. Allen said United needs additional attendants to staff more daily flying hours and international flights, as well as make up for attrition that has come during parent company UAL Corp.’s restructuring of the airline under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. 100 tons; dollars per ton Dec 174.30 176.90 172.20 175.50 +1.20 Jan 175.70 178.50 173.80 176.60 +1.00 Mar 179.00 180.80 176.20 179.00 +.60 May 179.50 182.00 178.00 180.30 —.10 Jul 181.70 184.50 180.40 182.70 —.10 Aug 183.00 184.90 181.70 183.60 —.10 Sep 184.00 184.50 182.20 183.90 —.10 Oct 182.50 184.00 181.90 183.80 +.30 Dec 182.50 187.00 182.50 185.70 +.20 Jan 186.20 186.20 186.20 186.20 +.40 Mar 186.20 186.20 186.20 186.20 +.40 Dec 186.20 186.20 186.20 186.20 +.40 Wed.’s sales 28,624 Wed.’s open int 136,410 Wheat Futures KANSAS CITY (AP) —Wheat futures on the Kansas City Board of Trade Thu: OpenHighLowSettle Chg.

SATURDAY 12 TH - 10:00 AM TO 5:30 PM SUNDAY 13 TH - 12:00 PM TO 5:30 PM Yahoo out of contention to buy stake in AOL NEW YORK (AP) — Yahoo Inc. has pulled out of discussions over buying a stake in America Online Inc., leaving Microsoft Corp. and Google Inc. as the leading potential suitors. The decision to abandon the talks came after Yahoo chief executive Terry Semel and chief finance officer Susan Decker met in late October with Time Warner executives in New York, said Yahoo spokeswoman Joanna Stevens. Stevens said Yahoo had ‘‘politely passed’’ on proposed terms and ‘‘walked away from any interest in a deal.’’ Two people close to the discussions said a key stumbling block was Time Warner Inc.’s insistence that it retain majority ownership in the AOL unit. They spoke on condition of anonymity because public discussions of any private negotiations were contrary to their companies’ policies. Watch for Paint Palettes in yards!
