Anita McCane, a nurse and a college professor, said that the tower would present “health ramifications” because of electromagnetic radiation.

“The low emission of radiation from this tower will cause tumors, leukemia and all kids of neurological effects,” she said.

HALLOWELL — Central Maine Power Co. customers who don’t want wireless smart meters installed at their homes and businesses will have options, following a landmark decision at the Maine Public Utilities Commission.

People can opt out of the program by keeping their existing, analog meters, or having a modified smart meter installed with its wireless transmitter turned off, the PUC decided. Customers also have the option of moving a wireless smart meter to another location on their property.

Both CMP and the PUC say they’re unaware of any other state where utility regulators have approved a smart-meter opt out plan, although one is being considered in California. Because smart meters have become controversial around the country among a vocal and well-organized minority of customers, today’s decision was expected to be watched closely elsewhere.

BELLMORE, NY (1010 WINS / WCBS 880) — After a public hearing, the Town of Hempstead unanimously passed new restrictions on the building of cell phone towers.

New cell towers are now banned within 1,500 feet of a home, a house of worship, a daycare center or a school, 1010 WINS’ Mona Rivera reported.

Claudia Borecky, President of the North Merrick Civic Association, called the move a step in the right direction.

“Because of this code, I will not wake up and see a cell antennae installed on a pole in front of my bedroom window,” Borecky said.

The new legislation also requires applicants proposing new cell towers to provide a report inventorying existing towers and other alternatives within 2 miles of a proposed tower site.

“This new law gives residents real power in the decision making process on cell tower placement,” Town Supervisor Kate Murray said.
