Handling the forecast
Need to know if you should take your umbrella with you today? Why not consult the umbrella itself?

Steeple decision forces private school out
I've heard of church steeples being used to house cell transmitters before, but until now, I've never seen a church steeple/cell tower issue close a school. That's exactly what's happening in Santa Cruz.
At least now the school administrator knows that there was already a concealed cell tower on the church, aside from the newer, taller one being planned. If they had known about it before they moved in they could have avoided the High Street property in the first place, since the whole issue of electromagnetic radiation is a hot potato in their curriculum philosophy.
When a church congregation remodels and adds rooms and raises roofs (or builds a new steeple) it can get building permits and neighbors can clearly see any outside structures going up. But what about structures that conceal technological features such as cell towers and radio transmitters? Should churches notify neighbors before installing new technology? And should this information be made readily available to those who subsequently move into the neighborhood? It's a tough call, particularly when the technology being installed is something that has not actually been proven to be harmful.
