RAW: Hailey's Mom Thinks Someone Will Find Her Daughter
By: Austin Kellerman
Updated: January 20, 2011
In an interview with KTAB's Priscilla Luong Wednesday, Dunn said national search groups coming to Colorado City to assist are giving her renewed hope.
"Somebody is going to find my daughter," said Dunn. "We have a lot of people looking now and I'm really glad KlaasKids and the Laura Recovery Center were able to come down and get involved."
Dunn said developments were causing her to hit a low point. She says that's now starting to change.
"I'm hopeful again and going to remain that way," said Dunn. "I think someone is going to find my daughter."
Dunn says she's been speaking with members of both search groups. She says having them there has been a huge help.
"They're able to give me some advice and give me a little bit of comfort," said Dunn. "I can't really be comforted, but there are good people up there to talk to. They've been talking to me a lot since they've been here."
Dunn said she also appreciates everyone who is volunteering their time to search. However, she's happy they haven't found anything.
"I'm glad they're looking, but each day I'm hoping they don't find anything out there in the dirt. That's not the way that I want them to find her," added Dunn.

Some people here seem to be having a bit trouble installing SMF,]. Well I'm here to help.
First of all, if you haven't already done so, go to http://www.simplemachines.org/ and get the full version of SMF. Now run your FTP program ( see http://www.zymic.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=59 for info on FTP) Once you have your FTP program open upload the SMF files to your site. Once that is done, click on MySQL database in your control panel and make a database. You can name your database anything you like as long as you remember it. Optional: To make things easy make the database username same as your database name. (less to remember) Now press create username with the password. (Whatever you want, but remember it!) Now once you've done all that, go back to your SMF folder in your file manager and click edit permissions on the following files: attachments avatars Packages Packages/installed.list Smileys Themes agreement.txt Settings.php Settings_bak.php There will be a few boxes checked with some letters next to them. Make sure each of these files have "W" checked and click OK. Make sure that this is done to all of the above files. like so Finally run "install.php" by doing yourname.zzl.org/wherever_you_copied_files/install.php and follow the steps! This should be pretty easy! After all this, delete the install.php and go to your forums and do whatever you want. Thanks , Swintell If you have any questions please post here and I'll try to help the best that I can. |

Stayed here for the Eugene Marathon. Very busy but very clean, quiet hotel. Rooms are basic but clean & comfortable. Beds are really comfortable. Customer Service was excellent. Free Parking. Easy to get around. Nice park close by. Exceeded my expectations as this was my first stay at any La Quinta.

Of all the La Quintas we've stayed at, this one absolutely tops the list! As usual, the quality as service was excellent but this one seemed more "upper tier" than some of the others. I highly recommend this location if you are traveling to Eugene or traveling through Eugene on the way to somewhere else.

Hi, This was a wonderful place to stay on our way to the Portland VA. The area is nice, by a park and river. It was quiet and the bed was wonderful. The check in area was very welcoming and comfortable with the big fire place and sitting area. The breakfast was very nice. Did not get to try the pool and gym but they appeared nice as well. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Portland. Gary and Lisa

Nice hotel, everything clean as expected. Just be careful understanding how to get around Eugene. The river running through town makes it tricky to enter and exit this hotel. Overall very satisfied. Being able to walk across the parking lot to Alton Baker Park is really a nice bonus. Also, great location if you're attending a Ducks football game. I say all of this as a UW Husky. Go Dawgs!

I stayed at La Quinta Inn & Suites in Eugene OR for a friend's wedding. It was one of a few the couple had with family and friend rates. I stayed in room 228. The Good: The room I had was very spacious for one person. It had a big screen tv, a mini fridge, and was overall very clean. There's individual room climate control, but you need a room key to set your preferences. Breakfast is included, but it's generally of the light continental kind, with cereals, a waffle maker, toast and such. There is free wifi. The front desk will give you a word code. The staff are very friendly and happy to help you. One had a cute lab puppy behind the desk. The Meh Breakfast food is no frills, unless the waffle maker still impresses you, which is really the only 'hot' food item offered. That and the grits. If you miss it you're not missing much. The hotel is right across from a big park. You can walk to the Saturday Markets and Oakland Center Mall but ideally it's better to have a rental car to take advantage of the no sales tax shopping in Eugene. Locals' (i.e. front desk staff) conception of walking distance and directions do not match the reality (!) Be sure to wear comfortable shoes if you do trek out. The hotel could do with some local maps to distribute and direct visitors to amenities nearby. I had to use my cell phone in conjunction with their directions to find my way to the mall and the markets. The Bad My window view was of the BMW maintenance shop behind the hotel. Be sure to close the blinds when you change or else the mechanics will have entertainment on their breaks. For a new-ish hotel I was disappointed with the meagre toiletries provided (a small square soap & tiny bottle of shampoo). I guess this is good for environmental conservation, but if you come here, make sure you bring your own stuff or else pick up some inexpensively at the local drug stores. There is no main overhead light in bedroom, so that when the sun sets in the evening, you will need to use the side table lights to light the room.

Dear Child Care Provider,
The Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) continues to look for ways to serve as many children and families as possible with the funds available. Due to budget limitations, it has become necessary for DCFS to make a change to the income limits for the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP), and to make a change to its policy for payment for absences. These changes were announced in a June 18, 2012, news release:
DCFS Announces Changes In Child Care Assistance Program Rules: Federal Budget Prompts Changes in Absence, Income Eligibility Limits
Notice of Change in CCAP Client Eligibility
Effective August 1, 2012, the income limits will be reduced for parents/guardians receiving Low-Income Child Care (CCAP). The income limit for the family is used to determine eligibility for CCAP and what percentage DCFS will make payments. This means that the amount of state and federal funds being paid to you by CCAP on behalf of the family may decrease and the parent/guardian's co-payment may increase. Some families may no longer be eligible for CCAP. You may continue to charge the same rate but in most cases a larger amount will be due from the parent/guardian.
This change does not affect the amount DCFS pays for children in a Family Independence Temporary Assistance Program (FITAP) or Child Welfare case.
Notice of Change Regarding Absences
Effective August 1, 2012, absences for children in CCAP or Child Welfare will no longer be paid at the same level. Up to two (2) absences per month
be paid for each CCAP child enrolled in your care based on the authorization. The payment process will continue with weekly payments issued for care provided and absence payments made the following month. Providers have the option to charge parents of children enrolled in CCAP for any absences above what is covered by DCFS.
Parents are receiving a notice about this change and will be notified if their co-payment has changed. Please remind parents/guardians to always notify their worker if their household's income has decreased, as this may offset this change for them and their CCAP may be less affected.
It is critical that you, as the provider, ensure that each child is properly checked in and out
time care begins and ends. This ensures timely and correct payment from DCFS, and using the Remittance Advice, you are able to determine the amount due from the parent/guardian.
Please remind parents of their responsibility to check in and out using Tracking of Time Services (TOTS) daily. Parents should designate up to three Household Designees (HD) so there is always a HD who can complete the electronic check-in and check-out on the day that care is provided. Previous check in and out should be avoided.
Notice of Change in Foster Parent Co-Payments
In response to requests from foster parents, they will be allowed to choose a provider that charges more than the maximum DCFS payment and enter into a voluntary agreement to pay the difference in the DCFS payment (100% of the state maximum rate) and the amount the provider actually charges. The foster parent voluntarily agrees to the additional expense and this agreement in no way involves DCFS. This change is effective July 1, 2012.
Notice of Requirement to Provide Email Address
In an effort to provide timely and more frequent communication to CCAP providers, DCFS is requiring providers to provide an email address and to update this information as the address changes. Information from DCFS will be sent to individual email addresses, and then posted to the
Child Care and Early Childhood Education Updates
page on the DCFS website
. A message will be placed on the POS device and the IVR informing you that a new communication has been sent. Regional Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) agencies can assist you in setting up a free email account and have computers available during business hours. Public libraries in most communities also provide access. NOTE that notice of any action taken on your CCAP case will continue to be sent by original correspondence.
New Provider Agreements Required
In order to continue to participate in CCAP, all providers are required to complete a new Provider Agreement. You will need to download and complete the Provider Agreement that applies to your services. Please read the agreement carefully completing all required information at that time. The completed and signed Provider Agreement must be returned to DCFS. Failure to return a signed agreement by the required due date will affect your CCAP payments. DCFS will inform you when the updated provider agreement is available on the DCFS website.
