\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>Complaints have been piling up in regards to the smokers at the movies on the green. The event is strongly marketed to families and children, and a lot of people even bring infants. Most of the smokers are not Stapleton residents and are more than likely Aurorans.\n\u201cThe issue is not that Aurorans are inconsiderate,\u201d says MCA President Liza Kampstra. \u201cMany just lack the knowledge that second-hand smoke can be harmful to young children and annoying to many adults.\u201d Movie-goer Dawn Hamrock agrees. \u201cOur family was just starting to watch the movie, when some Aurorans right in front of us just lit up. We have a one year old and a four year old, so we would prefer to not be around smoke with them. I guess we assumed people would know better than to do it.”\nAt the next event, the MCA plans to make several announcements in regards to the new smoking area which will be directly across from the new library. \u201cWe definitely want to keep this event open to the public,\u201d says Kampstra. \u201cBut we need to continue to look out for the health of our residents here in Stapleton as well.\u201d\nThe MCA considered handing out fliers regarding the dangers of smoking and second-hand smoke to \u201cAurora-looking\u201d people, but in the end decided against it. \u201cThere are labels on the cartons,\u201d says Kampstra. \u201cBased on our research, reading is not something Aurorans are very interested in.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
