Juveniles and dam questions dominate candidates night
At Nokomis school a Women Voters Candidates Night highlighted two hot issues: juvenile policy and a proposed high level dam at Dos Rios to flood Covelo and Round Valley. Judge Robert Winslow defended a two year old court order restricting release of juvenile names to the press and criticized media for publishing accusations against youths and not naming children of prominent people or advertisers. He argued a victim in the rape case did not exist and complained of political and economic pressure on newspapers.
