. 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. COME SHOPPING! 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. Police . Report 6:55 am. Attempted theft reported at West Stadium. 8:03 a.m. Theft reported at Coli seum.
