Hull was speaking of the city’s No Smoking bylaw which . took effect last fall. He said the city should make a greater. effort to ‘advertise’ and enforce the bylaw and also take a leadership roll by setting a good example. “According to Hull, any follow-up by the city after the | Correction In astory regarding local box- ers published on page eight of the Jan. 18 issue of the Terrace Review, we erroneously iden- tified one of the youths as Jackie | Gill, The boxer’s name is actual: ” if. ly Jassy Gill: Our. apologicss 18 t passing of the No Smoking bylaw was insufficient. -“The city dropped the ball and hasn’t © cartied through,” he said. Hull says that his business, for exam- ple, was never informed of the details contained in the bylaw, and in a quick mini-poll of his own prior to last week’s council meeting he determined that only’ one out of 20 people had any idea of what it was all about. Mayor Jack Talstra wasn’t sure that much more could be done, however: ‘The city could do a whole lot more and not have any more impact.’’ And Alderman Darryl Laurent added that although he supported Hull’s idea in theory, he had a ‘‘problem’? with the bylaw’s en- forcement. ‘What do you do if a person says no?’? he asked. Council has asked city ad- ministration to review the situa- tion and report back to council with some ideas on how Hull's concerns might be addressed. and Tamitik. a ‘Kitimat is hosting. its seventh’ annual men’s fun hockey tour- nament Feb. 3, 4. and ‘5 at Tamitik: and the: old ice rink.
