Mary Dahl has lived in the same home in Rincon Valley for 48 years.

She doesn't have a cellphone. She doesn't have a computer. And she doesn't care to own either. So when Verizon proposed installing a wireless antenna on a pole just outside her house, she didn't take too kindly to it.

"It got my Irish dander up," says Dahl, a retired child care provider who's in her early 70s.
