Brunswick limits ice cream truck hours to daytime hours only

BRUNSWICK - Ice cream trucks in Brunswick can now play &#34;Turkey in the Straw&#34; and sell Popsicles, snow cones and ice cream sandwiches only when the sun shines. <br> <br> The Brunswick City Commission, after hearing complaints about the loud music the trucks use to draw attention, passed a law yesterday that allows the trucks to operate only from 10 a.m. to sunset. <br> <br> In addition to the noise problems, city officials said they were concerned that children could be lured into the streets at night by the irresistible siren-song of the ice cream truck. <br> <br> Ice cream truck owners Tammie Aldaba and Joanne D&#39;Agastino said they were content that they will be allowed to continue playing the music that draws customers. <br> <br> One of D&#39;Agastino&#39;s drivers was ticketed two weeks ago for playing the music too loud, driving with a suspended license and having no proof of insurance. She faces up to 12-hundred dollars in fines. <br> <br> Brunswick Mayor Brad Brown had wanted the ice cream truck music stopped altogether because of a city ban on using amplified sound to solicit business door-to-door.
