Great Falls Tribune Monday, October 17, 1988 TV show recreating Lisa Kimmell murder BILLINGS (AP) Ron and Kimmell relived the murder of their daughter Lisa this weekend in hopes that a national television audience can help find the killer. six-member Los Angeles film crew for the program "Unsolved Mysteries" backed a rented van full of equipment up to the Kimmell home Saturday and began a fourday shot on the murder of their 18- year-old daughter. On Sunday the crew headed for Wyoming, where the girl was killed. The 10- to 12-minute segment of the show is slated for airing early next year. Lisa Kimmell disappeared from a Wyoming highway on March 25 while driving from Denver to Billings.

Her body was found on April 2 in the North Platte River near Casper, Wyo. She had been stabbed repeatedly. The television cameras rolled as Ron and Sheila Kimmell described their oldest daughter's independence and maturity, her hopes for the future. They painfully described the loss they've felt and their undying determination to catch those responsible for Lisa's murder. "We are driven, but we aren't consumed, and we won't give up," said Sheila Kimmell, formerly of Great Falls.

The Kimmells described how Lisa had always wanted a sports car and had arranged her own financing for a black 1988 Honda CRX Si. Authorities still search for that car. "Anyone who's a parent can identify with this story," director Dan Gomez said during a break from filming. "It's a terrible thing to lose a child. This could be anyone's kid." The Kimmells called "Unsolved Mysteries" last May.

"It's the very tragic element, the brutality, the senselessness, the appeal of a young girl who was SO motivated to excel," said Cynthia Buzzard, segment producer. "She was kind of a model kid." Saturday's filming also included a recreation of the "search headquarters" in the Kimmells' dining room, where Sheila Kimmell coordinated early efforts. Lisa's teensisters, Sherry and Stacy, were filmed putting up posters at Billings locations as they did in March. Ron Kimmell was filmed driving local highways in search of the missing car, and family friend Al Ketterling, a Billings private investigator, was interviewed. The film crew left Sunday for Buffalo, to re-enact the March 26 sighting of Lisa and her car at gas stations and convenience stores.

Buzzard said Nikki Clark of Billings would play the part of Lisa. Since Lisa's car is still missing, the program will feature it as much as possible, Buzzard said. The show borrowed an identical car from a Casper man and had license plates custom-made to recreate Lisa's "LIL MISS." In Wyoming the crew planned to interview Natrona County sheriff's investigators, and two fishermen who found the body were to re-enact that part of the story. A mannequin will be used for the re-enactment of Lisa's body being thrown off a bridge and being pulled from the river by officers. The crew also is to interview Douglas, highway patrolman Al Lesco, who stopped Lisa for speeding about 25 miles outside town on March 25.

Bitterroot Forest supervisor dies MISSOULA (AP) A 14-year veteran supervisor of the Bitterroot National Forest died of heart failure a day after he retired from the job. Robert S. Morgan, 66, a Choteau native, died Saturday at a hospital in Missoula. He served 44 years with the U.S. Forest Service and had a "special 'ability to deal with controversy," said John Mumma, regional forester.

Morgan was assigned to the Bitterroot forest after a bitter controversy over logging practices, Mumma said. "He had a special way of being able to sit down and visit with folks and bring a sense of consensus on what should happen. He was a true conservationist and people respect that." Morgan served as supervisor of the Helena National Forest from 1961 until 1974, where he was instrumental in the establishment of the Scapegoat Wilderness north of Lincoln in 1972. He began working with the U.S. Forest Service as a smokejumper.

He received regional and national awards for environmental work and leadership. Weather Great Falls Today, partly cloudy with a chance of morning fog low clouds. High in the upper 50s. Tonight, increasing clouds with a 20-percent chance of showers. Low in mid 30s.

His wife Timber western Montana in Congress, said industry lobbyists already have begun pushing for more federal timber.

"They've been blunt about that," Williams said. "They have shown me considerable material, including charts that indicate they don't have much more to cut in the near future on their own lands. They have to turn now to the public's timber." Demands for more public timber do not surprise the Forest Service, but government officials doubt that public lands can sustain the region's mills. For instance, Chuck Spoon, program officer for the Lolo National Forest, recently assessed the issue for the Missoula Economic Development Corp. His conclusion: "When they (regional mills) either run out or drop their harvesting off died in 1984.

Retz Funeral Home, Helena. CUT BANK RICHARD, Rodney Nell, 48, a farm worker, was found dead Friday at his residence. Results of an autopsy are pending and the Glacier County Sheriff's Department is investigating the death, although foul play and suicide have been ruled out, county coroner Gary Bjorkland said Sunday evening.

Born at Egeland, N.D., he attended schools there. In 1952, he moved to Cut Bank and worked on area farms for 20 years. Survivors: brothers, Fred of Chicago and Gordon of industrial lands, we are going to see ourselves with more mill capacity than what the forest lands can supply. I do not believe the supply would be adequate to meet the demands in western Montana." On industrial land the demand is for timber, but public lands face competing demands, from anglers, hunters, hikers, campers, skiers, and others. This recreational demand, based on expectations that wildlife habitat will be protected, can limit the supply of logs available from public land.

The industry admits it has used practices forbidden on public lands massive clearcuts, skidding with tractors down steep slopes, extensive roads built throughout. Both Runyan and Parsons said bad practices have not characterized their company's efforts. Fairgrounds From 3A ter are asked whether they want the property nominated. Public agencies, however, are simply invited to comment on the proposed nomination, she said. Under federal and state law, public agencies "do not have the ability to approve or disapprove nominations," Sherfy said.

Public agencies are assumed to have "somewhat a higher obligation" than private owners in recognizing historic significance, she said. Both the city and Cascade County will be invited to comment on the nomination, and the comments would be considered during reviews by state and federal agencies, she said. But the final decision would be made based on the property's historical significance, she said, not whether the listing is a "popular idea." Critics must mainly address the issue of whether property is historically significant, she said. Stockwell said he would hate to see local-government desires ignored. "I sure hope that's not the case," he said.

In any event, Sherfy said, being listed on the register "does not bind them (property owners) to do anyand it can be of help when an agency like the fairgrounds seeks federal grant money. Federal grants require that history be taken into account, and research done to place property on the register can also help speed up processing of such grants, she said. History. From 3A tactics in the 1952 election; Bodkins was contesting some votes Quayle had taken as a senator and claiming that Republicans were hiding him in less populated states because of questions about his qualifications. But other than some changes in names and issues, Quayle's proclamation of economic prosperity and peace through strength under Republican leadership sounded much like Nixon's earlier defense of Ike.

There was one difference, though. Quayle arrived on a sunny day, with temperatures in the upper 70s and a light breeze blowing his air. Nixon, visiting in late October, thanked the audience "for this warm reception on the coldest day we have experienced during the campaign to date." Snow was falling, with temperatures in the low 30s. City starts draining water tank today The city Public Works Department today is to begin draining a city water tank on Thirty-third Street and Eighth Avenue South for inspection and maintenance. A drain pipe from the water tank is located on Thirty-fourth Street and Ninth Avenue South.

Residents are advised not to be alarmed by the sight of water running out of the drain. The work will take several days, according to Dan Kandilas, city utilities supervisor. Billings Rehabilitation Center recertified BILLINGS (AP) The Rehabilitation Center at St. Vincent Hospital has been recertified for an additional three years by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. The commission gave its approval after a panel surveyed the hospital's services, evaluating 500 criteria for standards of treatment.

St. Vincent is one of 304 U.S. hospitals certified by the commission. Among its services, the center treats people with severe injuries to the head and spinal cord, strokes, or illnesses such as multiple sclerosis.

Raymond George Black Eagle, arrested on suspicion of felony theft and 3A But the corporations have critics including foresters, soils scientists, wildlife and water biologists, and environmentalists who say the methods of clearcutting and skidding have already done considerable damage. That damage, if it shows up as severe loss of habitat for, say, elk, or if erosion from skidding and road building damages water quality, can trigger the National Environmental Policy Act. NEPA requires the government to protect the environment by, if necessary, stopping further harvests on public land. Last year in the Lolo Creek drainage, Lolo Forest Supervisor Orville Daniels ordered a 10-year moratorium on cutting because Champion had heavily logged its adjacent land in the drainage.
