JOURNAL 20 sponTSLincoLU Fishing successes hampered by heat Lincoln9s chief of police to retire Law enforcers laud Leitner leadership Lincoln cyclist 3rd BEND, Ore. (AP) Lincoln's Gary Mulder finished third Wednesday night in the Coors Pilot Butte Time Trial, the opening stage of the men's 1988 Cascade Cycling Classic.

Glenn Sanders of Boulder, won the first of the event's five stages, a 1-mile uphill sprint, in 4 minutes, 51.57 seconds to lead a record 158-man field. Mulder was third in 5:02.61 OUTDOORS By Bill Kreifel Liquor Just North of OTth I Ts 477-7516 Sublet to Modi on hand. Good thru 7-20-88 pounders. The lower half of the lake is better than the upper half, using Shad Raps, Hot 'N Tots and Thin Fins. We had some cool weather (over the weekend) and the guys caught their fish in shallow water, 4 to 6 feet deep, but this warm weather should push them out" into deeperwater.

At the Gavins Point Dam tailwaters in northeast Nebraska, "it's pretty much the same thing as last week carp (on corn, nightcrawlers or doughballs), drum (on nightcrawlers or crawdads) and catfish (on chicken liver)," said Walt Marshall of The Dam Bait Shop at Croftoa Here's a look at other fishing waters from around the state, as supplied by the Game and Parks Commission: SOUTHEAST: Adams Area NRD LakM Catfish on livers and shad; Merrick, Hamilton and Hall County Sand Pits Laroemoulh boss on plastic worms, small bluegill on worms; Guide Rock Diversion Dam Cattish on minnows.

Jill Cutshall was 9 when she disappeared Aug. 13 about 6:30 a.m. She was last seen sitting on the steps of her baby sitter's house in Norfolk. The terror experienced by abducted children like Jill and the overwhelming loss felt by their families prompted Troy Jens, a 25-year-old Glenwood, Iowa, singer and songwriter, to write "We'll Keep Searching." The song is dedicated to missing children and their loved ones. Jens said he hopes abducted children will hear the song and know they have not been forgotten.

"I cried through most of it," Mrs. Cutshall said. "He (Jens) said it all what all parents feeL" Although he has no children of his own, Jens said he wrote "We'll Keep Searching," because he feels strongly about the issue, especially after meeting some parents of missing children. "I feel really bad about what they've been through," he said. Jens said everyone has a responsibility to do what they can to stop child abductions.

Mrs. Cutshall is a student at Northeast Community College, majoring in counseling therapy. She said she plans to transfer to the University of Nebraska-Omaha to continue her education as a counselor. She also has become a board member and spokesperson for the newly formed Missing Youth Foundation based in Omaha. Reg.orUght "1 Looatcaat warm PCPSl Reg.orDtc12pk.-29 IViae Coolers By Gary Svoboda Journal Outdoor Writer Nebraska fishing continues to suffer under sweltering summer temperatures this week.

In the southeast corner of the state, catfish and carp provide the main action in the Salt Valley lakes, with occasional crappie and bluegill showing up. Lincoln area bait dealers also say some bass are being caught in the early morning and evening hours at such impoundments as Wagon Train and Wild-wood, and in farm ponds, using spinner-baits or top-water lures fished over submerged vegetation, In the Ogallala area, fishing for 2- to' 4-pound rainbow trout in Lake Ogallala is providing the' most consistent action in that region, said Bob Palser of Kings-ley Lodge. "It seems like the south end is the best It's mostly boat fishing, drifting 'crawlers with split shot And they're still catching them at night using lights, doing the same thing (fishing with night-crawlers) but anchored." At Lake McConaughy, fishing for white bass is confined to about a half-hour period each morning and evening as the fish come up to gorge on young shad. "If you don't happen to hit a school then, you don't catch any," Palser said. "We're also seeing a few nice walleye, 6 to 10 pounds.

They're getting them trolling and the fish are suspended in 15 to 20 feet of water. Shad Raps seem to be the best lure," Palser said. Although the Valentine Refuge lakes are mossed over, there's still decent fishing there, according to Kevin Thornton of Cork's Sport Shop in Valentine. "They're getting some perch and blue-gill Hackberry or Pelican seem to be the best Just find a hole (in the moss) and fish with worms," Thornton said. "They're also catching a few bass on pretty much any of the lakes." From personal experience, Thornton said he thinks going out in the evenings and using a surface lure such as a Hula Popper over the top of the moss is a good way to connect with a bass.

At Calamus Reservoir, fishing picked up over the weekend, reported J.D. Tetschner at the Sportshack in BurwelL "We had limits of walleye and northerns, and some big northerns, 10-, 11- and 12- tWI $199 corn; Fremont Lakes Catfish on turkey livers compassion, and he'd do what he could to help a person (in a disciplinary situation), rather than just come down on that Individual as hard as he could," said the sheriff. Tussing also said that Leitner "brought some badly needed stability to the department" when George Hansen resigned as chief in late 1978 to return to California Recalling longtime Police Chief Joe Carroll's tough cop-stern disciplinarian approach on the one hand and Hansen's quasi-liberal, comparatively radical approach on the other Tussing said that as an administrator, "Leitner fell somewhere in between. "He was kind of middle-of-the-road. He tried to take the best of both of those worlds" in running the department, Tussing said.

Mayor: No need to look outside for police chief Mayor Bill Harris said Thursday that because, in his opinion, such a good candidate already was available, he saw no need to seek outside applicants to succeed retiring Police Chief Dean Leitner. Harris was to announce formally at an afternoon news conference his appointment of Assistant Chief Allen Curtis to succeed Leitner. The mayor said he and Leitner have worked well together and he encouraged Leitner to stay on the job. But Harris also said he thinks Curtis "will be outstanding for the city." Harris appointment of Curtis must be approved by the City CounciL Regarding Curtis' recent quintuple-bypass heart surgery, Harris said: "He's been on the job full time and he is doing very welL He actually is probably healthier than he was before the opera-tioa His doctor gave him a clean bill of health." Harris said Curtis can do anything a police officer should be able to do and said Nebraska has living proof in such people as Nebraska head football coach Tom Osborne and former University of Nebraska President D.B. Varner that such heart operations are successful and return people to productive lives.

Journal Writer Nebraska State Patrol CoL Harold Le-Grande said that when B. Dean Leitner steps down next month as Lincoln's chief of police, "we're going to miss one of the finest police officers in the state of Nebraska." "He's an excellent administrator, and the Lincoln department has been very innovative in a number of programs under his direction," said LeGrande, who cited the creation of a combined federal, local, county and state drug enforcement unit as an example. LeGrande said Leitner has been one of the strongest supporters of that pro-. gram, which permits the sharing of intelligence information among officers of different Jurisdictional levels, "and makes for a more coordinated effort to make our state a drug-free society. "He (Leitner) has just been super to work with," said the coloneL Similar views about Leitner's upcoming retirement were expressed by Lancaster County Sheriff Ron Tussing, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Chief Gail Gade and Lancaster County Attorney Mike Heavican, who said, "I'm kind of saddened, actually, because we had a very good working relationship.

Top-notch' "The Lincoln Police Department is a top-notch organization, and he (Leitner) had a lot to do with making it a really good bunch. We're going to miss him a lot," Heavican said. 1 Gade and Tussing formerly worked with Leitner as members of the Lincoln department themselves, and Gade said that, "all of us who had anything to do with Dean are sorry to see him go." Gade also said that the cooperation between the Lincoln and UNL police departments "has always been 100 percent," and, "I'm sure that with Allen Curtis (Leitner's successor), it will continue in the same manner." Tussing said he worked under Leitner for 15 of Tussing's 18 years as a Lincoln policeman, and found him to be a tough but understanding administrator.

White Zlnfandel $3.99 Canadian Hunter By Ed Russo Journal County-City Bureau A program intended to help Lancaster County's most troubled youths is successful and should continue to be financed by county government, the director of the Jennie B. Harrel Attention Center for Youth said Thursday. Fourteen of the 34 youths who completed the Individualized Developmental Systems Approach program since 1984 were not arrested after their release from the center at 2220 S.

10th St, said director Jon Hill "We are really dealing with the hardcore youth in this community," Hill said, "and if you look at that 64 percent success rate, it is even more meaningful" The highly structured program, known as IDSA, is designed to rehabilitate youths convicted of crimes. The program is made up of five phases and includes extensive counseling for youths and their families, Hill said. Follow-up counseling Center staff provide follow-up counseling to youths and their families after, the youths are returned home, a major factor in the program's success, he said. The program was evaluated by Fred Holbert, a criminal justice professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. "It.

McGruff to help zoo in promoting SMART Homes McGruff, the Crime Dog, will join other animals at the Folsom Children's Zoo Saturday to help families learn more about working together against alcohol and drug abuse. The zoo, 2800 A SL, win have its first SMART Homes Day to distribute information about that local drug-abuse prevention program. The SMART Homes program is designed to help parents communicate with their children about abuse of alcohol and other drugs. The program is co-sponsored by the Lincoln Council on Alcoholism and Drugs and the Lincoln Police Department Between visits to zoo animals, visitors can sit in on 10-minute presentations about SMART Homes. Adults attending the presentations will receive a pass for one child's ride on the Iron Horse Railroad that circles the zoo.

The first 250 children who stop at the SMART Homes table by the main entrance will receive a free painter's cap. Buttons also will be given away. Two junior high school rap music groups will perform original songs throughout the day. The zoo will open at 10 am For those without season memberships, regular admission will be charged. Children under two years of age are admitted free.

is apparent from the parent and youth follow-up data that both parents and youth feel strongly about the program and it should continue to be offered to Lancaster County Youth," Holbert wrote inhisreport Hill said that if the program were not available, those youths would have been sent to state youth correctional facilities at Kearney and Geneva. Others would have been sent to private group homes or institutions. Twelve youths, or 35 percent did not complete the program. Of those, five had no arrests, while seven did. "One can surmise that even those who didn't complete the program benefited from it in varying degrees," Hill said.

Thursday, Hill gave the Lancaster County Board a copy of Holbert's report Hill said the program costs about $50,000 a year to operate. He said he is asking for a slight increase in the budget based on the inflation rate. Commissioners took no action on the request Thursday morning. NU loan fund commemorates Herman family A prominent New England cardiologist has established a loan fund that would enable students from his hometown of Herman, to attend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln or the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Dr.

David I. Rutledge of Wellesley Hills, established the fund to commemorate his family and to recognize the people of Herman, which has a population of 340. Students attending UNO or UNL from Tekamah, or the Washington or Burt county areas, are also eligible for any remaining loans. Rutledge attended Herman High School and the University of Nebraska as an undergraduate before graduating from the University College of Medicine in 1923. He trained a number of years at the Mayo Clinic and earned a master's degree in medicine at the University of Minnesota in 1940.

He then joined the staff of the Lahey Clinic in Boston, Mass. RuUedge's grandfather, William M. Rutledge, homesteaded in Herman after the Civil War. He had a leading role in the rebuilding of the town after a devastating tornado. The second generation of Rutledges in Herman was led by David W.

Rutledge, a strong advocate of education. William H. Rutledge, his eldest son, carried on that traditloa He helped in the education and development of his three brothers, David Charles W. and Roy V. Rutledge.

The fund will be administered by the University of Nebnuta Foundation. "BstiL -Xi 1 Matilda Bay Wing Coolers Regular or Dry I 4 pk (Actual Site 12" It's time!
