Humane Society
sponsors phone-a-thon
By James M. Lillis
Senior Reporter
Lancaster County residents can
expect a call between July 17 and
August 9 from the Capitol Humane
Society's "Share a Little Love" cam
paign fundraiser.
Stephanie House, the Society's cam
paign director, said the goal of the
phone-a-thon is to raise $50,000 to be
used to renovate many parts of the
Society's existing facilities.
"Mainly we need to repair and add to
the ventilation system in the 20-year-old
building," she said. "We will also
use the money to purchase a high pres
sure steam cleaner, new stainless steel
cages for smaller animals, as well as
begin renovation of the pens of larger
animals."
This fundraiser has been discussed
for quite some time, she said. When the
members of the Society saw the suc
cess other societies had with this type
of fundraiser, they decided to try it
themselves.
"We want to do more than just raise
funds," she said. "We want to also raise
awareness of our services to Lancaster
County."
The Capitol Humane Society cared
for 8,000 unwanted animals in 1985,
and is expected to exceed that number
in 198(5.
"We operate on a very tight budget
and we struggle to meet our monthly
expenses," said Bob Downy, the Socie
ty's executive director. "We rely heav
ily on donations and public support to
continue our services to Lancaster
County."
The group is offering a V.I.P. (Very
Important Pets) Services Card to those
donating $25 or more during the fund
raiser. With this card the donator is
entitled to a 10-15 percent discount for
services of participating veterinarians,
groomers and other pet-related servi
ces. The card is good for one year and
can be renewed with another $25 or
more donation in next year's phone-a-thon.
House said that the Humane Society
should not be confused with Animal
Control, which is more involved with
the legal side of owning pets and popu
lation control.
She said a display of the Society's
activities will be located in the Atrium
skylight level, suite 205, during the
fundraiser's duration.
Donations may be sent to: Capitol
Humane Society, "Share a Little Love"
Fund Drive, co Havelock Bank, P.O.
Box 29269, Lincoln, NE 68529.

When a person sends his check to
the cable company, chances are
he's banking on movies and sports
to grace his screen. James Terry had
something else in mind, and his
venture into the broadcast business
has been a unique one.
Terry serves as the station man
ager for KBMT cable radio in Lin
coln. This, alone, sets it apart from
the rest Terry said KBMT is the only
cable radio station in the state.
"A person can pick up our station
in two ways," Terry said. "If he's got
cable, he can flip the television
channel to 10 to get the music
backdrop or hook cable to his stereo
to pick us up on S6.5 FM."
Terry ssid business has gonewell
since the station went on the air 10
months 8o. Out pulling in big dol-
lars isn't top priority for Terry.
"We are a non-profit community
radio station," Terry said. "We're
funded by grants from the Lincoln
Foundation, the Woods Foundation,
the United Way, and James Stewart.
We throw benefits to raise money,
too."
Terry said the remainder of needed
funds is obtained through under
writings. Underwritings begin with,
"The preceding was made possi
ble. . ."Each underwriting tells the
name of the business, its address,
phone number and product, Terry
said.
Terry said he encourages people
to buy underwriting An underwrit
ing is a show of support for three
community projects, And on top of
that, it's cheaper than regular
advertising, he said.
Chalk up another unusual trait to
KEMT. The station Is a minority-run
station the only certified minor
ity station in Lincoln and one of just
11 minority cable radio stations
across the nation, according to Terry.
Terry said the station prides itself
in catering to people of all descents
and being an equal opportunity
employer.
"We have white disc jockeys,".
Terry said. "And we have women
disc jockeys. I think we have more
women disc jockeys than anyone in
the city."
Terry said his non-profit station
has three purposes and programs
that fulfill its purposes.
"We're trying to train people in
radio broadcasting, train young
people and the handicapped in
broadcasting, and provide educa
tional support to the community,"
Terry said.
