emissions from cellular phone towers -- but it is hard to say how much more can be done by Government to determine levels of risk.

The report is troubling because some of the towers around the Island do pose a threat to people who actually work on them and here Government needs to set guidelines for use to ensure that their health is safeguarded.

In the event that it is definitively shown that the towers pose a health risk to neighbourhood residents, then they should be prepared to act.

In the meantime, the Department of Planning should continue the moratorium on the siting of future towers and should draw up clear guidelines on the siting of the towers for the future. This will need a decision on whether taller towers, which are more unsightly but less dangerous than shorter towers, should be allowed and greater efforts should be made to ensure that new equipment be attached to existing towers which are well away from residential or highly developed areas.

CARE deserves credit for raising awareness on an issue about which the general public knew next to nothing and Government should be praised for studying the issue with care.

This issue should not be put to rest now. Continued gathering of research is essential and CARE and other concerned people need to continue to monitor the situation.

SOME GOOD NEWS EDT Some good news With threats of strikes and hurricanes in the air, fears that Bermuda is turning into a nation of rampant illiteracy and all the other depressing news that fills our daily lives, it is sometimes worth remembering that there are good people in the community who go out of their way to help others.

Here are a few of them: Firefighter Raynei Boyles and crane operator Craig Curtis were featured in yesterday's newspaper for their parts in rescuing a carriage horse which had plunged into the Pembroke Canal. For two hours, Mr. Boyles first tried to get the horse out of the canal and then stayed with it until it could be rescued.

Mr. Curtis was passing by when he saw the incident and went back to his construction site to get his crane in order to rescue the by then exhausted animal.

Twelve-year-old Sophie Darrow found an injured loggerhead turtle in Ely's Harbour and the Aquarium staff who nursed the animal back to health and returned it to the wide expanses of the Sargasso Sea.

Latroy Santucci, 15, who spent her summer vacation caring for clients at St.

Brendan's Hospital and got back as much love as she gave.

The list goes on and on. For every speeder, litterer, panhandler who harasses visitors, there are people in the Bermuda community who give of themselves.

They deserve praise for their actions, done not for the approval of the community, but out of their own innate goodness. We should all be more like them.
