A curfew for kids and keeping smoke away from public entrances are a pair of new codes that the city of Hayden will consider adopting. One is proposed as a means for better public safety -- and a way to keep pace with neighboring community rules -- while the other is for the benefit of public health, and a first in the area, city officials said. "It may be overdue," said Stefan Chatwin, Hayden city administrator. "Right now we're the lone city among its neighbors without a curfew for minors in place." The time limit would be in effect seven days a week from midnight to 5 a.m. for all children under the age of 18/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
