A proposed Verizon cell phone tower is being opposed by community members at Amity Creek Magnet School.
The tower is slated for construction at a downtown Bend church where leaders will decide this month whether to let the wireless provider boost its 4G service to 5G by mounting a faux bell tower.
Parents and neighbors near Trinity Episcopal Church are worried that towers such as those can have negative health impacts, pointing to recent studies showing correlations between rare brain cancers and tumors.
