Cecil Dunn and the house he felt forced to abandon.

In Tsawwassen, massive power lines have sparked voter rage.

By Geoff Dembicki

Cecil Dunn fought the provincial government and lost. For four years, he battled a proposal to build steel power poles in the backyards of Tsawwassen homes. The struggle wasn't just about sparing residents the anxiety of ever-present radiation or saving its tree-lined skyline from 30-metre eyesores. Dunn's own house of 26 years lay on the proposed route. The fight was personal.

The retired Telus executive describes the last four years like a rollercoaster ride, full of euphoric highs and cynical lows. But the defeats built up one by one. The opposition he spearheaded lost in B.C.'s highest court. The power poles went up last summer. And this year, faced with a tough choice between life under the lines or a government buyout, he opted to sell the home he'd planned to grow old in.

NATICK —

Seeing power lines being strung close to two schools worries some parents, who say the electric lines emit potentially harmful electromagnetic fields.

Jeanne McCabe, who has two sons attending Kennedy Middle School, said she noted that the lines now cross over the signs at the entryway for Kennedy and Brown schools.

The high-voltage line has already caused controversy in the West Natick neighborhood.

Residents concerned about safety risks posed by electromagnetic fields, or EMFs, asked selectmen and the Conservation Commission to delay the work. which was done briefly in February. Ultimately, selectmen decided they did not have the legal power to do so.

From: Donald W Zipse

On the day of the incident the utility measured 10 amperes flowing from the water to the dock – to the house and back to the substation.

Using NEETRAC Manual on stray voltages (of which Ameren is a supporting member) to say that the recommended human body resistance when submersed in water is in the neighborhood of 300 ohms. Then told the jury that using these figures the voltage necessary to begin causing loss of muscle control is 1.8 volts.

BUT VOLTAGE DOES NOT KILL

DWZ was interviewed by counsel, but not hired for case. Too expensive probably.

Jury orders Ameren to pay $2.3 million to families of teens

Residents angered over a NStar project that would bring a power line closer to their homes protested against the company yesterday near the town common.

They say the move would risk their health and property values.

About two dozen residents with signs decrying NStar's project gathered around the intersection of routes 27 and 135 yesterday morning, in hopes that putting public pressure on the company will encourage it to reach out to neighbors of the project in west Natick, several residents said.
