Why Fry?

Please attend the Early Neighborhood Notification Meeting this MONDAY, MAY 21, at Warehouse 21, 5:30 to 7:30 pm. It is fine to bring your children–and to be late.

Principal Michael Lee, representatives from the Governor’s Commission on Disability, and DOCTORS W.A.R.N., comprised of 90 plus local health care professionals, are all greatly concerned about the microwave radiation effects on children exposed to a tower so close to Gonzales Community School.

AND Please call Burger King’s polite Customer Reps at the toll free number: 1-866-394-2493 to vote NO on this cell tower.

Why would you attend AT & T’s Early Neighborhood Notification Meeting, May 21, at Warehouse 21 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM?

Because Burger King, located at the corner of West Alameda and St. Francis, has applied to lease to a 64 foot cell phone tower. The only problem with that is that just a few strides away is the Gonzales Community School, housing K through 8th grades.

FCC specialist Attorney Andrew Campanelli, who represented the “Moms of Merrick” and groups in other communities opposing cell towers, says safety questions persist about cell phone towers, especially near schools.

He said in Bayville, five children who attended school 50 feet from cell antennas on a water tower have been diagnosed with cancer or leukemia and three have died….

PEDIATRICS, Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics (2005), research study concludes,

“Consistent epidemiologic evidence of an association between childhood leukemia and exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields has led to their classification by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a “possible human carcinogen.” Concerns about the potential vulnerability of children to radio frequency (RF) fields have been raised because of the potentially greater susceptibility of their developing nervous systems; in addition, their brain tissue is more conductive, RF penetration is greater relative to head size, and they will have a longer lifetime of exposure than adults.”

According to Dr. Boian Alexandrov at the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, terahertz (THz) waves destroy human DNA. The waves literally unzip the helix strand. Now a team of technologists at UT Dallas are planning to take chips broadcasting THz waves and embed them into mobile phones for use as an imaging system for consumers, law enforcement and medical personnel… a potentially deadly technology that could eventually kill or sicken millions of people.

Dr Baxendale claims the situation is now so serious that immediate action should be taken to stop masts going up in places where children congregate.

‘You can’t reverse the process later. By then the damage could well have been done,’ Dr Baxendale said.

The scientist wants a ban in Scotland, following the lead of New Zealand, Sweden, Italy, Australia and parts of the U.S. in banning them from such areas.

In 2005, the Mail revealed that a third of schools in Britain’s towns and cities had a mast within 200 yards of them.

The Ontario English Catholic Teacher’s Association, representing 45,000 teachers, says computers in all new schools should be hardwired instead of setting up wireless networks. It also says Wi-Fi should not be installed in any more classrooms.

In a position paper released today, the union – which represents 45,000 teachers – cites research by the World Health Organization.

Last year the global health agency warned about a possible link between radiation from wireless devices such as cellphones and cancer. Some believe wireless access to the Internet could pose similar risks.

Important regions of the brain necessary for learning, memory and other functions of the mammalian brain were impacted by the microwave radiation, including the hippocampus, cerebellum and frontal lobe, at exposures below the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) safety guidelines….providing new evidence for a potential relationship between everyday cell phone use, wireless transmitters and wireless computer equipment and electrosensitivity symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness and sleep disorders, as well as with tumors, Alzheimer’s and even metabolic effects.

John Wargo, Ph.D., professor of Environmental Risk and Policy at Yale University and lead author of the report, said, “The scientific evidence is sufficiently robust showing that cellular devices pose significant health risks to children and pregnant women.”

Frequent texting means cell phones are often kept in a pocket all day and under a pillow or on a teenager’s bed at night.

Exposures to electromagnetic radiation are increasing most rapidly among the youngest in our society, as service providers focus their advertising on children and educational markets.”

Another school, known for its advanced computer lab, has removed its Wifi, following warnings that the system emits potentially harmful microwave radiation and now hardwires all of its internet connections.

“Schools are in the business of helping children, not hurting them so we shouldn’t be taking chances,” said Principal Brenda Glashan.

For each hour a child uses a transmitting wireless phone or wireless laptop to communicate, watch videos/TV or play games, he may be exposing his developing brain, eye and gut tissues to radiation damage equivalent to 66.6 chest X-rays.

If the 1.75 million 8 and 9 year olds who now use cell phones average only half an hour a day, they will be at high risk for radiation cancer in their teen years. Cancer is the number two cause of death for American children.
