On
Lincoln cable televis
ion viewers wont have to
give the Entertainment
end Sports Programming
Network or Atlanta super
station WTB8-TV, accord
ing to Dick Bates of Lin
coln Cablevision.
Although the Federal
Cominuriications Commis
sion recently ruled that
cable operators can re
move such services from
their basic "tier of cable
channels, Bates said the
ruling wont affect Lin
coln's cable service at all.
MAs far as we're con
cerned, nothing will hap
pen," Bates said. Accord
ing to Bates, Cablcvision
is satisfied with its cur
rent franchise with the
Lincoln City Council, sup
plying 1 2 bask cable chan
nels for $ 1 0.25 each month.
The FCC ruled July 12
that cable operators may
choose to remove program
channels such as ESPN,
VTBS or Cable News Net
work from the basic chan
nel package. This-pack-age
is subject to rate reg
ulation by local govern
ments. The FCC gave local
governments the right to
regulate the basic service
package more than 10
years ago.
Bates said the ruling
would be helpful to cable
operators whose rates had
been severely restricted.
But, he said, Cablevision
did not plan to remove
any channels from Lin
coln's basic service tier
because the Lincoln City
Council had been very
reasonable in granting nec
essary rate increases.
"We don't always get
what we ask for," he said,
"but I think we get a fair ,
return. I just don't have
any complaints."
. Assistant City Attorney
Lyn Miserez, who handles
Lincoln's cable dealings,
was out of town and not
available for comment.

Crimestoppers set $20,000
for fall fund raising goal
To continue fighting crime, the Lin
coln Crimestoppers will have a fall
fund, raising drive, according to the
group's fund raising chairman.
Bob Fix ter said Crimestoppers'hopes
to raise more than $20,000. The group
relics on private contributions not on
tax dollars, Fixter said.
Crimestoppers provides a "fantastic
service" to Lincoln in terms of solved
crimes and reduced criminal activity,
he said.
Lt. Lee Wagner of the Lincoln Police
Department said the Lincoln program
has received more than 15,000 phone
calls giving tips on crimes. These phone
calls have resulted in $500,000 worth
of recovered property and 432 arrests,
Wagner said.
The Lincoln Crimestoppers began
3Vfe years ago when a vacationing Lin
coln police officer observed a Crimes
toppers program in Florida. He return
ed and began the Lincoln group.
The first program started in Albu
querque, N.M., in 1976. Since then, the
program has grown into an interna
tional effort against crime, Wagner
said.
The program involves the commun
ity in that fight, he said. It offers cash
rewards and anonymity to people who
give information leading to the arrest
of criminals.
When people have information about
an unsolved crime, they can call Cri
mestoppers at 475-3600, Wagner said.
People should dial 911 in cases where
crimes are in progress. When people
call Crimestoppers, they are assigned
a number by which they are referred
to.
Fixter said that although rewards
are offered, many times people refuse
them. Many people are satisfied in
knowing that their tip was useful in
solving a crime, he said.
