At the Oct. 16th Village Hall meeting, the Mayor admitted that the current village administration is actually considering plans to put cellular antennas on the water tower. This raises serious concerns about the negative impact on health, aesthetics and property values.

Dr. Havas of Trent University cites studies that show an increased risk of cancer, as well as symptoms such as headaches, insomnia and nausea, when people live within 400 meters of cellular antennas.* Dr. Havas warns, “I think there's enough evidence to cause a concern.
