I'm also wondering where that teacher got the phone to call 911. I thought they didn't have those, either. I need to read some Amish books.

Yes they have newspapers but they're not daily papers because they print them on old manual printing presses and get sent to Ohio, PA, IA and a few other states twice per week.

The phone was probably at a mennonite farm. They are just like Amish but have a phone, light bulbs and use buttons on their clothes but they live the same as Amish but not as strict.
