Residents WIN--CELL TOWER STOPPED! Residents of that neighborhood claimed the tower would only be 500 feet from an elementary school and a little more than a thousand feet from a middle school....A grass-roots group of parents, property owners and neighbors have appealed to the city to block the tower....They also said the tower would lower property values....."Just wanted to let you know that we SUCCEEDED in our battle against T-Mobile, there will NOT be a T-Mobile tower installed on the Little White Chapel across the street and so close to schools!!!! We are all so happy and frankly surprised - the City Council kept telling us their hands were tied in this issue.
We had close to 200 people show up at the appeal meeting and we had ABC and NBC news cameras show up – we had a lot of great community support which I think helped."

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.

Several politicians joined in the opposition chorus including state Reps. Tony Hwang and T.R. Rowe, both Republicans from Trumbull; state Sen. Anthony Musto, D-Trumbull; and Town Council members Chadwick Ciocci and John DelVecchio Jr.

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.
