County officials seek survey

(By LESLIE MiI.I.EK Stuff ll liter A survey by the staff of the Judicial Study Commission on the present conditions of the county court is just what many county officials feel necessary in view of the increasing number of caseloads reviewed by that court each year. The study would cover three primary aspects. The first being a statistical survey of the caseloads over the past several years. This would give an accurate break down on the number of each type of case reviewed with the court, including an account of those filed, those disposed of, and those which are pending. The second phase of the study focuses on confidential interviews with all who are involved with the workings of the county court. Those who may possibly be interviewed include members of the county council, members of the county commissioners, bar * association members, judges, police officials, and even the county clerk. All of these people could supply personal viewpoints on the present conditions as well as supply insight as to the reasons for these conditions. The last phase of the study would be a public hearing, if the study commission deems it necessary. The public hearing would allow all concerned citizens to find out the pros and cons of the recommendations and to ask whatever questions that may arise. From here, the staff will present its recommendations to the Judicial Study Commission. If the commission feels it can remedy any problems by merely revamping the operations, then the proceedings will go no further.

Should a fire begin, however, it is imperative that family members know two ways to exit from the home in the event that fire is blocking one escape route. An area of the yard, away from the house, should be designated as a safe assembly place to account for family members. The fire department should be called from a neighboring phone. The Milford Fire Department states that, for personal safety, no one goes back in the home for any reason; rather the family should advise the first arriving fire fighters of any immediate rescue needed. Citizens are reminded that smoke contains lethal gases and very little oxygen. They should stay low to the floor and crawl to the nearest safe exit. For additional fire safety tips, contact a member of the Milford Fire Department, and plan for the safety of your life and home from fire. —O’BUD SEELY, a member of the Milford Lions Club, was one of six Lions receiving International President’s Certificates of Appreciation at the annual Banner Night Festivities held in Warsaw on Saturday night.

If. however, the commission feels that creating an additional county court is necessary, then it will take its recommendations to the state legislature To get the legislature’s approval, a bill must first be presented in the form of a bill by the state’s representatives for this area. Although county officials are not certain that a new court is in order at the present time, they are fairly certain that one is in the offing. Court Judge James Jarrette feels that there are three basic reasons for needing to consider a new court. In speaking with attorney David Cates, who formerly headed the staff of the Judicial Study Commission. Jarrette was informed that 5.000 new' cases reviewed by the court each year is approximately all it can handle efficiently. Although it's just a rule of thumb, “at 5,000 it’s time to take a look, ’’said Jarrette. In 1984,- the county court handled 5.080 eases. At the end of 1985 it had handled 6,447 — 1,435 over 1984's figures. Thinking it to be an exceptional year, the third quarter figures for 1986 were taken into account. Those figures proved that the 1986 caseloads have slightly surpassed the third quarter figures for 1985. Thus, the county court is handling over 1,500 more cases per year than it may be able to handle. Jarrette fears that not only will this affect the quality of the work that the court does, but also affect the time frame in which it is done. The court was designed to handle misdemeanors and small claims at a quick pace. But with the backlog of cases waiting to be reviewed, the purpose of the court is being defeated. Jarrette’s second reason for considering a new court is based upon a recent population survey which projects a steady growth rate in the area. From this, one can deduce that the increase in

“Flight No. 2*1.” It follows: “United’s DC-10 flight No. 201 on this particular Tuesday from Denver to Honolulu carried a full load — all 270 seats were occupied, 40 in first-class and 230 in the main cabin. The crew of three in the cockpit and eight flight attendants in long Hawaiian dresses were responsible making the six-hour flight safe and comfortable. “The DC-10 is especially equipped with life vests stowed under each seat and slides which converted into life rafts. A movie instructed us on their use. “The 982-mile leg of the trip from South Bend to Denver was in a B-727 and took two hours and 23 minutes. The second captain of the Denver to Honolulu flight informed us that due to the lack of head winds, normal flight time was reduced by 30 minutes. Thus, the 4,335 miles from South Bend to Honolulu was flown in a shy hours. While cruising at 35,000 feet, the flight was so smooth that one could have been sitting in his own living room chair. Eating, sleeping and walking presented no problems. “Flight 201 would continue to Hong Kong at 2:30 p.m. with a new crew for an 11-hour flight. “While leaving the plane. I observed the mess some people had left behind. Cleaning was just one of the things necessary to prepare the plane for the flight to China.” MARK OCTOBER 25 on your calendar. That’s the date for the big Halloween Party at Campbell’s with a cake decorating contest, costume judging and a free a supper. Donations for the supper will be taken for those who want to give with proceeds going to the library fund.

population will also increase the number of caseloads the court will be faced with. This would make the creation of a new court inevitable at some point in the • near future. Jarrette s third reason stems from the population study. Tak ing into account that once the creation of a new court has been approved, it will take roughly two or three years before it is completed and in use. He fears that if the county does not take action now. it will be in serious trouble by the time a new court is really ■ in need. “If worse came to worst, the bill may not be passed until the 'B9 legislature, ’’ said Jarrette. “That would mean we would have to try and survive under the increasing loads for another two or three years. Because, even if it were passed in January of ’B9, the court would not take effect until January of ’90." • It is for all of these reasons that Jarrette will be stressing the importance of unified support from all branches of the county. He will be presenting his viewpoints at the county council meeting on Thursday, Oct. 9, where many who are involved will be in attendance, (and seeking their support. Both the county commissioners and the Indiana Bar Association have unanimously voted in favor of supporting the study, which is the first step in accessing the situation. Jarrette mentioned that the cost of the survey could run as high as $350. Approximately S2O of which would be used for legal notices of the public hearing. The remaining amount would be used on a transcript of the hearing. If the hearing is relatively short, then the transcript cost would be lowered considerably. “The recommendations from the survey may or may not warrant creating a new court,”, said Jarrette, “but at least it will let us know where we have room fojimprovement. If we're doing something wrong, then we'll follow its suggestions. If we need a new court, then that’s what we’ll do.”
