Viejas Donates $5,000 to Fund EMF Study at Alpine Elementary School

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians recently pledged $5,000 to the
Alpine Education Foundation to fund an electromagnetic field (EMF) study
of Sunrise Powerlink high voltage lines buried near Alpine Elementary
School.

In response to elevated EMF levels measured near the school, the Alpine
Community has raised concerns regarding possible health risks to local
children. High EMF levels have potential links to leukemia and other
serious health issues. The study will measure between 15 and 20 separate
locations on the property and in classrooms.

“We share in our community’s concerns over this issue and we appreciate
the steps that the Alpine Education Foundation is taking to support the
families of Alpine,” commented Viejas Tribal Chairman Robert Welch.
