ALBEMARLE

ELIZABETH CITY

CURFEW APPROVED: The City Council has unanimously passed curfew and noise ordinances, ``effective immediately.'' They toughen two laws already on the books.

Citizens and council members had complained about youths hanging out in neighborhoods well into the morning hours. The new curfew prohibits anyone under 18 from being in a public place between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. on weekdays and midnight to 6 a.m. on weekends.

The noise ordinance makes it a crime to play any ``device for reproducing sound'' loud enough to be heard from more than 75 feet. The law strengthens an earlier noise law that concentrated on the decibel levels of outdoor concerts.

The most frequent complaints are loud car stereos booming in public parking lots and on neighborhood streets. The council, at its Monday meeting, delayed voting on a truancy law.

MANTEO

AIM CANDIDATE: Colin M. Noone, a rising senior at Manteo High School, has been selected as this year's Academy Introduction Mission (AIM) candidate representing the Fifth District, Southern Region, Sixteenth Division of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary.

Noone's candidacy was a result of his outstanding leadership in academics and athletics, and involvement in his school, church and community.
