DO CELLULAR ANTENNAS BELONG IN RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES?
by Noel Araki
Cellular companies are placing
more and more cellular antennas within
our residential communities. In some instances 50-foot antennas are placed less than
25-feet from a residential property. But what are there health
risks associated with Cellular Radio Frequency Transmissions?
Cellular RF emissions are the modern version of the Heptachlor
Pesticide issue that came to the attention of the Mililani residents in 1983. At the time
the pesticide was used it was believed to have no harmful effects, but ongoing studies are
now showing evidence of long-term effects. Back in the 1960-1970 the Tobacco companies
told the general public that cigarette smoke was not harmful to our health. Imagine where
we would be today if we continued to believe them.
Currently these hand held cellular phones (with a 0.3-watt
transmission) are being studied because of a possible link to their adverse effect to the
human anatomy. In fact some Cellular companies are now marketing how their designs
transmit the least amount of RF to the user. So what is the effect of an antenna that
transmits 50, 60 or 70-watts of power 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on the human anatomy?
In Europe and abroad there have been studies and research that have
shown that emission as low as 10 microwatts per sq/cm have an adverse effect on the human
anatomy. However in the US it is the Cellular Companies who are performing the research,
monitoring and enforcement of their own RF emissions. And the US Government follows these
same reports completed by cellular companies that show that levels up to 500 microwatts
per sq/cm is
safe. The City requires some safety measures be taken on levels above 100 mw per sq/cm.
However there is no agency who performs arbitrary readings on cellular emissions, it is up
to the cellular companies to police themselves on this issue.

YOU DIDN'T MISS A THING
by Jane Nelson
I had a good review, in my head. Oh, cartoons on
Saturday morning at Pawa'a Theatre. Fun to remember the good old days. Oh, and Rainbow
Rollerland. Oh, and Jackass Ginger. Oh, Oh, Oh. the memories. We had the best. But our
parents could out do us. Being able to wear pants (women always wore Muu's from their
necks to their ankles and wrists) to go hiking on the ridges. My grandfather holding the
horses head so that he wouldn't see the the noisey contraption call the buggy. When Makiki
was 4 blocks by 4 blocks and everybody really did know everybody.
All hundred of um. And we hope and pray that our children will say, that they are the
luckies. Even if they don't remember Alfred Apaka, Aku Head Pupule, or Kini PoPo.
Hopefully your children will write of the good old days, that they remember. And share in
fond memories, as we do. I had a good cry. Oh, and the Civic Center.
