Clean by sheri benson "Will the victim's life continue like this or get worse? Maybe endingin a death? If the answer is "yes", then a call should be made to report the situation." The above statement was made by Chief Magistrate J.W. Bill Jef- fries, Jr. He was referring to a common hindrance to law enforce- ment, the lack of a report. As magistrate in Summers County for the past seven years, Bill Jeffries understands the law from both sides, the enforcement didsion and the private citizen's. He has a keen desire to see justice done for the innocent. Prior to taking office of Chief Magistrate, he was a deputy sheriff. He received instruction in the rudi- mentary principles of law and proce- dures in 1984, in Morgantown, dur- ing a class sponsored by the WV Supreme Court of Appeals. In addition to this training, Jef- fries, on an annual basis, absorbs additional instuction, having re- ceived 8 certificates of completion and a diploma of proficiency through courses recommended to be enacted through the Supreme Court's Chief greatly ou tn umbered by the popul a- tion to patrol and care for, many violations of the law may not be in "clear view ". Misdemeanors, unlaw- ful entry, search & seizure, breach of peace (public intoxication) are but a few areas of dutyship where the magistrate may be called to issue a warrant. The private citizen can be a great help by reporting to the authorities doings against the law. =Emotions run high during the holidays," said Jeffries. "It's a time ,f family and friends...sometimes it rubs tempers." Domestic violence erupts. "Neighbors seeing child abuse, wife batterymdomestics violence are hesitant to report it," he said. "They will have to continue living next to that person after the legal part is all over. Fear of the repercussions prevent many report from coming in. "The same with the battered wife,  he continued. "Many are hesitant to report what's happened to them, they want to hold the family together, or are afraid. To know whether to report or not--ask yourself, Tqill (the victim's) life continue like this or get worse, maybe ending in a death?' If the answer is "yes", report it." Bill Jeffries is married to wife, Patty. They are raising three chil- dreh: Jackie-17yr.;Justin-9yr.; and Nathan-8yr. He is a Summers Countian, born and raised. Concerning his job as Summers County's Chief" Magistrate he said, "It's very demanding on time and mental capacities...It's not a 9-5 job. It's demanding, yet it's vital...We are required to be on call around the clock when it is our turn.  He shares this responsibility with one other magistrate. "Though I'm not a law enforce- ment officer," he said, "I hope the courts provide a deterrant for crime just as much as a law enforcement officer patrolling the streets do." At their regular Tues. noon meet- ing at the Diner last week, the Kiwa- nis Club of Hinton hosted four members of the Key Club from Hin- ton High School. Kiwanis President Ralph Wilson welcomed Jennifer Hill, who introduced Elizabeth Cr- iddle, Jason Richmond, and Lee Whitten. Miss Hill reported that the Key Club is collecting toys and win- ter clothes to be given away for Christmas. She invited members to bring items to the next meeting, or drop them off at the Kroger store, and to encourage their friends to do so too. Job Training In Fast Food Management Offered To Ex-Offenders in 5 Counties Classroom training in fast food management is now available to ex- offenders in Fayette, Greenbrier, Raleigh, Summers and Wyoming counties, the state Bureau of Em- ployment Programs announced. The training is being provided by the College of W.Va. Participants will be recruited through the Raleigh County Adult Probation Office and Work Release Center and through oth'er referral sources. The ex-offenders will be screened and, if found eligible, en- rolled in courses which could lead to an associate's degree in fast food management. Each student is also eligible for up to $400, either as a financial aid supplement or for transportation or child care at the college's day care center. The program is being financed through a $25,500 grant from the state's Job Training Partnership Act funds. For more information call the College of W.Va. at 253-5060. Fox After lunch, Kiwanian Marvin Lacy introduced Roy Walthall of Alderson and Linda Nelson of Le- wisburg. They are volunteers active with Lifeline, a group based at Humana Hospital in Ronceverte. Linda Nelson explained that their group offers a way for people who live alone to call for medical or other help in an emergency, even if they are not near a phone. She clarified that her group is NOT affiliated with the system often advertised on TV. Although the name is similar, and they use much of the same equip- ment, her group is local, is com- pletely non-profit, and is staffed by volunteers. Lifeline users are usu- ally elderly, but include others with injuries or diseases that make them likely to need help in a hurry. A typical Lifeline user wears a small case with a button on a cord. When pressed, the button sends a message to a base u nit connected to the phone, like a cordless phone. However, in this case the unit automatically dials the Lifelife center in the hospital. Volunteers phone back to the user ( in case of a false alarm) and then either alert a chosen neighbor or send an ambulance. At the next meeting, the Kiwanis will host Miss Debbie Combs, of Bluefield, who won the Southern Soil Conservation District contest in public speaking, and was cited in the June, 1989 issue of Readers Digest for her work in cleaning up the envi- ronment.
