DeafDigest Mid-Week edition, June 16, 2015
-- college world series and the deaf
College World Series is a big annual event
in Omaha. Nation's best college baseball
teams try to become the national champions.
Many deaf fans love to watch these games
but have been frustrated! No captions, no
loops, no interpreters. A Coda complained
about it and it led to three local and state
organizations to work together, convincing
T.D. Ameritrade Stadium management to
make it ADA-compliant on everything.
They agreed. Said a happy deaf leader:
That is a FIRST and without having to
resort to a lawsuit.
-- a millionaire deaf developer
Vanessa Addison is deaf. It did not stop her from
investing in a property she felt would be successful.
It became a success, and it led her to buying more
properties in the area. The property is not for
business buildings or apartments, but for houses.
So far she owns 40 plots, but she's not
stopping there, always looking for more to buy.
It is not in USA, but in United Kingdom. The
name of her business is Green Bee Homes.
-- deaf adopting a deaf dog without an interpreter
A dog shelter in Colorado had a deaf puppy
that no one wanted to adopt. It was shown
on TV. A deaf man, watching the program,
wanted to adopt the dog. He went to the
shelter without an interpreter. With
notes written back and forth, he was
able to bring home this adopted deaf
puppy!
