Bluefield minors may have to be home by midnight if a curfew is adopted by the city’s Board of Directors. A public hearing August 28 at 7 30 p m will address curfew enforcement. The measure would require youths to be off city streets from midnight to 6 a m and would place parental responsibility on guardians. Jo Cody's owner John Shumate said night crowds outside his business hurt trade and that he feared for his safety after being taunted outside his nightclub.
