PORT FRANKS GRANDMOTHER STARTS 800 km WALK TO OTTAWA
TO PROTEST CELL PHONE TOWERS
Port Franks - Frustrated that Bell Canada has more power than her local government, Wendy Hoy will set off for Ottawa on foot today, to raise awareness about electro-sensitivity, something that a large number of Canadians suffer from every day.
"Cell Tower emissions are a source of involuntary exposure to a type of electro-magnetic radiation referred to as microwave radiation. And not one single Canadian has a say in whether or not you live next to a tower," said Hoy, a founding member of the Lakeshore Coalition opposing cell towers in an environmentally sensitive area of Lake Huron.
"An airline pilot who is now electrosensitive and cannot fly anymore has just moved here," says Hoy. "Right after she got here, up go the cell towers. Where are these people supposed to live?" In Hoy's home of Port Franks, the local Council voted to investigate the feasibility of establishing a "white zone" which is an area with lower radiation levels. Residents who had a face to face meeting with Industry Canada last week were advised any attempts to have areas of lower radiation would be blocked by them.
Last year the World Health Organization re-classified the type of radiation emitted by sources such as cell towers, cell phones, and wireless internet as a possible carcinogen. Globally, medical organizations are urging precaution.
"We had a majority of Council Members vote against a cell tower in our neighbourhood. We even had half the town sign a petition against it. Despite overwhelming objection, Industry Canada has the final word in whether or not Bell Mobility can go ahead with plans to blanket Lambton Shores with cell towers. Bell has more control over our lives than we do," said Hoy as she laced up for her 800 km walk to Ottawa.

Can you help Wendy?
There has been very limited time for planning Wendy's walk as two large cellphone towers are being planned for the area near her home and one has just been built. This area includes the famous Pinery Provincial Park http://www.pinerypark.on.ca/ (Pinery Provincial Park contains much of the remaining Oak Savanna woodland to be found in North America. Explore this unique ecosystem, along park roads, trails, beaches or quiet reaches of the Old Ausable Channel).
Radiation from the Cell Towers risks significant environmental damage to the park ecosystem and will expose a large part of the beautiful South Coast of Lake Huron and its famous sandy beaches with powerful and harmful microwave radiation.
Wendy, who has taken a month off work for the epic walk, could do with lots of assistance over the next four weeks. Her route is not set in stone, but in general it is likely to include London, Brantford, Hamilton, Oakville, Mississauga, Toronto, Oshawa, Peterborough, Kingston, Smiths Falls and Ottawa. Other side trips may be included to meet people and groups in other locations.
Wendy has not sought help, but here are some ways that you may wish to offer assistance:
* Accommodation
* Food and refreshments
* Donation towards costs or charity
* Encouragement
* Assistance with driving in your area
* Company while walking
* Press and public notification etc
* Arrange a public information meeting
* Banners and flyers
* Use of a recreational vehicle during the walk
If you wish to help Wendy with this important initiative, please get in touch with:

Cell Tower Insurance
Anyone fighting a cell phone tower should demand to see what insurance the cell company and the landowner has to cover long term health damage, environmental harm and property devaluation.
If the cellphone company and landowner do not have insurance, the Municipality / Government should insist on a very large security deposit being held over 30 years.
There is more information at these links.

Judge gets it wrong?
District Judge Sarah Singleton ruled Tuesday that no scientific study has yet proved that electromagnetic stimulus adversely impacts personal health.
Here is one study which indicates the judge is wrong:
Our HRV testing shows that in double blind, peer-reviewed study we documented changes in the autonomic nervous system of some subjects when exposed to radiation from a cordless phone base station at 2.4 GHz (same frequency used in Wi-Fi).
Not everyone responded but some did respond with a stress response (up regulation of sympathetic nervous system and down regulation of the parasympathetic nervous system), irregular heart rate (arrhythmia), or rapid heart rate (tachycardia). Often these symptoms as associated with feelings of anxiety or feelings of emotional distress and may be accompanies by a tightness in the chest and/or chest pain or pressure similar to a heart attack which then increases the stress reaction.
We repeated our original study, which was conducted in Colorado with 25 subjects, and have now tested a total of 100 subjects from California, New Mexico, Arizona, Wisconsin, New York, and Ontario. Our original results have been verified and that paper is now being prepared for publication.

More than 1 million people in Britain may be suffering from constant, crippling headaches
Is it because they are taking too many painkillers or is it really because they are exposed to wireless radiation?
