District Judges Clarify Drunk Driving Sentencing Policy
Iowa Sixth district judges issued a letter clarifying that earlier statements on jail terms for first offense drunk driving are not binding. The letter reiterates that judges may impose two to five days jail in such cases, with discretion allowed and no mandatory sentence, while noting stricter penalties for repeat offenses. Cedar Rapids Municipal Court had previously abolished a similar policy.

Tugboat Owner Finds No Work In Home Port
George Coykendall, a 53 year old independent tugboat skipper, returned to Redwood City after Peru nationalized its tug fleet. He cannot find work as most U S tug operations are controlled by a few large firms. Coykendall notes Peruvian crewmen still service his 126 foot tug Alaska Monarch and he remains nonconfrontational about the shift in labor and ownership.
