That's why Verizon Wireless has installed a cell on wheels or the cow in Kalapana. The cow provides cell phone coverage to the area as well as capacity for emergency crews. Everyday more than a thousand people hike out to watch the lava flow and that prompted one Pahoa resident to write to her lawmakers. "Hikers who go out to see the new lava flow and not having any cell phone communication I was worried people were going to get in trouble and get lost and needed to talk to get help," said Bettie Van Overbeke. A traditional Hawaiian blessing was held recently. Only verizon customers can use their service.              |
