MELVINDALE: 'No smoking' signs might be put up at public park 

In an effort to clear the air, "no smoking" signs might be going up in Deluca Field.

Councilwoman Stacey Striz suggested the signage earlier this month in response to people smoking during games at Deluca.

State and county law says that smoking isn't allowed on school property or in public buildings. Deluca is a public park.

Striz said she believes that because children play there, it should also be non-smoking.

"There's always that one person when you say, 'Hey, this is a no-smoking area,' they want to challenge you to the moon," she said.
