DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - May 1, 2019
-- 911 text calls limited in what it can do
When deaf people send a 911 emergency text,
they must give the dispatcher their exact address.
Without that information, these cell towers only can
show a general location, thus taking it a much
longer for emergency people to locate the
deaf callers. So, giving the address is
very important.
-- must leave captions on at a big American city
Seattle now requires all TV captions to be on
at bars, restaurants, gyms, stadiums and
other public facilities. This is a new law
and anti-captions people cannot demand that
captions be turned off. Which big American
city is next with that same law?
-- deaf baker on TV baking competition
Sam Widnall, who is deaf, is a pastry chef. He
will be competing with his hearing boss on
a TV baking contest (Bake Off!) which is a
popular program in Great Britain. As far as
DeafDigest is concerned the only deaf chef
(in USA) that competed in a TV cooking
program was Kurt Ramborger, and that was
years ago. None since then.
