Wireless communications provider T-Mobile has canceled its plans to install a cellular tower in a Westside residential neighborhood following the intervention by Rep Maxine Waters (D-Westchester) and a united opposition against the proposal.
The Argonaut reported on Aug. 12 a proposal by the wireless company to install a 43-foot cell tower outside the Westchester home of Jeffrey and Candace Yip, who promptly rallied their friends and neighbors in an effort to force T-Mobile to abandon its plans for the tower.

Jury deliberations in the trial of a Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer accused of killing an unarmed Black man in Oakland on New Year's Day 2009 are expected to resume Thursday after they were restarted Wednesday.
The jury began deliberations for 2 1/2 hours last Friday, but when jurors reassembled Tuesday after the long weekend, one of the original jurors had been excused because of a pre-planned vacation and another juror was ill.
