Important Antenna Victory in Los Angeles

From: Doug Loranger Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 9:19 PMSubject: Important Antenna Victory in Los AngelesBy Troy Anderson, Staff Writer Updated: 02/23/2009 11:42:41 PM PSThttp://www.dailynews.com/ci_11770802 Residents of the View Park/Windsor Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles won animportant victory at the Los Angeles Regional Planning Commission on February18 (see article from LA Daily News below). While T-Mobile can still appeal to theLos Angeles County Board of Supervisors the 3-2 vote to deny a permit for awireless facility proposed for the rooftop garage on a building hosting a CVSpharmacy, the victory is particularly significant because it marks the debut of aregional Southern California coalition, Residents Engaged Against Cell Towers(REACT), who successfully mobilized for the Feb. 18 hearing.Organizations involved in this regional coalition include residents from LosAngeles, San Diego, Glendale, Pasadena, Tarzana, Burbank, Mar Vista, Altadena,Baldwin Hills Estates, Sherman Oaks, Ladera Heights, Scripps Ranch, HaciendaHeights, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Mission Viejo, Irvine, Rancho Santa Fe, andEscondido.Along with the Coalition to Regulate Antennae Siting(www.safeantenna.org) in New York City, Southern California is one of thecurrent hotbeds of activity on this issue working to take the fight to the nationallevel.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This story may make you consider giving up milk altogether. The story mentions'using clean electrical energy from the grid', well good luck with that far fetchedidea! There would also be a big question mark about the cleanliness of the energyas it leaves the site, and a very good chance that dangerous high frequencypollution will be caused around the farm. We know that microwaving fooddamages the quality and goodness, what will it do to the milk?Martin Weatherall---------------------------------------------Macrowave bulk pasteurization system

We had an exchange - she saidthat it was not the CSF's job to set safety limits. Below is my response to an emailshe sent out earlier this evening. By the way, she is a doctor.CK-------------------------------------------------------From: Carl KatzDate: 2009/2/25Subject: Re: Parents Ordi-Santé et Principe de Précaution.To:XXXXXXXXX, I do appreciate your proactive activity around this. With respect toyour comment this afternoon, you are absolutely correct that it is not CSF's job toestablish safety limits, but it should be its first priority to ensure the safety of all of the children in its care. And ANY doubt should be decided for the benefit of thestudents. Health Canada has NEVER effectively responded to an emerging healththreat - tobacco? Asbestos?. If you watched the BBC Panorama show (Wi -Fi: AWarning Signal), you would have heard Sir William Stewart, U.K.'s top scientistsaying the the WHO (OSM) is wrong - that the whole basis of their safety limitsare inadequate to protect the population, especially our children. Same for theGerman government who has warned all citizens not to use Wi -Fi. Is that nottelling? Or Gerd Oberfeld and Henry Lai, who are world reknowned for their research into electromagnetic radiation and biological effects - they both said theywould pull their children out of any school that had Wi -Fi. And Olle Johansson of the Karolinska institute in Sweden has found biological effects at radiation levelslower than Wi -Fi. If you have not watched it, here is the link to the show:http://www.mastsanity.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=132&Itemid=113 In 2002, Lloyds of London and the entire insurance industry excluded health

effects from electromagnetic radiation from all liability policies for the wirelessindustry. This was in response to the work that Dr. George Carlo did with theWireless Telecommunications Research program from 1993 to 1999 (300scientists, 28.5 million dollars). Interestingly, the insurance industry has knownabout and responded to emerging health threats in exactly this manner. They didexactly the same thing for the tobacco industry while tobacco execs continued tosay there were no health effects from smoking.We do not need any more short term epidemiological studies. A two or three year study will not answer the question of what may or will happen after ten or fifteenyears - the time it takes for cancerous tumours to present. We now know withcertainty, that radiation from Wi -Fi, cellular and cordless home phones causeleakage in the blood brain barrier, breakage of DNA, interruption of intra-cellular communication, and changes in cognitive function (the Stewart Report, 2000).This is not a "maybe, we need more data" situation. If you don't believe me,please look at the truly "independent" double blind, peer reviewed research (inother words, not funded by the wireless industry).We MUST apply the precautionary principle because there is so much evidence(not doubt, evidence). In my opinion, anything less is absolutely reckless.Respectfully,Carl Katz------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Cancer Causes Control. 2009 Feb 18.
