DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - March 22, 2019
-- attempting a rare election feat
Bruce White, who is deaf, served two terms on the
city council at University Park, Maryland. That
was years ago. Now living in Ocean View, Delaware,
he is attempting to win a seat on the town council.
If he wins, he would have achieved a rare feat -
serving on two different town councils at two
different times!
-- difficult to get last-minute interpreters
Deaf students that attend hearing colleges,
instead of Gallaudet or NTID, do so at their
own risk. There was a newspaper story in Texas
of these deaf students struggling to find
interepreters at the last minute. Sad, but
true. There is an option - only if the college
could afford it - CART services, but again,
not easy to find a CART operator at the last
minute!
-- volunteering to fight a building fire
Murrell Samuels, who is deaf, saw a building fire
in Stockton, California. Instead of standing
around and watching the firemen fight the
fire, he jumped into action - volunteering to
pull out hoses out of the firetrucks. One
difficult task was carrying the 300-foot
water hoses over a fence. He, and other
volunteers, were thanked by the Stockton
Fire Department. They said the fire
could have been worse if not for these
volunteers.
