News of the Week

An outrage took place this week. The USA Deaflympics
contingent is struggling to raise funds to take part
in the Taiwan Deaflympics.
In the meantime the US Olympic Commission "donated"
$500,000 to the Paralympics group. Not a cent to us.
But - there is more to it than what meets the eye.
There is a law (PL 110-389) that authorizes the Secretary
of Veterans' Affairs to give funds to the USOC, which
in turn passes it on to the Paralympics group.
Bottom line - not a cent to our deaf athletes!

We have quite a few libraries of the deaf in
USA. The bigger and the best known ones are on
the Gallaudet and RIT campuses.
There was none in Turkey until this week. The
nation's first deaf library opened its doors in
Bursa, Turkey.

Hearing aids are expensive. Can't afford a new
one (approximately $5,000)?
Well, there is a solution - your iPhone
can be converted to a hearing aid.
An accessory, costing just $10.00, may be
the trick.
DeafDigest is somewhat skeptical.

At the recent hearing World Magic Championships
at Beijing, China, there were 2,500 hearing magicians
that participated.
Four of them were deaf (one American, two Italians
and one Japanese).

TO FAKE UNDERSTANDING WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Many of us, the deaf, nod our heads and fake
understanding what the hearing person says to us.
We smile, and walk away, hoping the hearing
person will leave us alone.
Many hearing immigrants are also guilty of the
same thing. Many of them do not know English
but they may nod, and smile, and the hearing person
thinks the immigrants understand them!
Deaf person. Hearing immigrant - same thing,
nod and smile and fake understanding!

A TENT AT SOME DEAF CONFERENCES
If you attend a meeting at some national deaf
conferences, you may see a small tent near the
meeting platform.
The tent is used by the meeting parliamentarian.
This is to prevent nosey eyes when the president
asks the parliamentarian some important meeting
questions.
The idea of a tent was invented by Bummy
Burstein, the famous Deaf Parliamentarian.

TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT OR TO BE IN DENIAL?
A hearing person was telling a friend that her
daughter is the one with the electrical scooter.
That daughter has a medical condition that
prevents her from being able to walk.
Is it the same as a hearing mother of a
deaf child telling a friend that he is the
one with the hearing aid?
Either one wishes to be politically correct
while making a conversation or to be in a
state of denial?

ORAL DEAF NETWORK
Is there such a thing as Oral Deaf Network?
Yes, very much so, and very much thriving.
Reason for bringing this up was because
a DeafDigest subscriber disagreed with the editor,
saying there is no such a thing as Oral Deaf
Network.
DeafDigest strives to serve all parts of the
Deaf Community, regardless of differences among
all of us - ASL, oral, CI, Cued Speech,
Late Deafened, mainstreamed products, residential
products, etc, etc.
Ain't an easy task, declares DeafDigest!

MASS PRODUCTION METHODS
Many of us know that Thomas A. Edison, who was deaf, won
1,093 patents for his countless inventions.
What many of us do not know was that he invented a new
concept - that is widely used in factories all over the
world - mass production methods.
Many things - automobiles, television sets, computers -
are built via mass production.

A BALLPARK INCIDENT
DeafDigest editor and a deaf friend was watching
a ball game at the Nationals Park in Washington, DC.
Sitting one row behind was a very young couple.
All of a sudden this young woman leaned over
and flashed dollar bills at the startled DeafDigest
editor. She was saying something that could not be
understood. Yet she persisted in waving the dollar
bills. It was puzzling.
Suddenly it was realized she wanted either DeafDigest
editor or his friend buy beers for them since they
were underage.
The DeafDigest editor and his friend refused,
forcing the young woman to look elsewhere for a
volunteer beer buyer.
Scary because when hearing people are
desperate and when their request could not
be understood, it could lead to violence.
Fortunately, it was not to be.

THE POWER OF THE PERSONAL CONTACT
Terry Care, not deaf, is stepping down as
a senator in the Nevada legislative body.
Knowing nothing about the deaf beforehand,
he and his wife were close friends with a family,
whose two children were born deaf.
Having a chance to observe how the family
dealt with the deaf children, Terry took the
initiative to introduce the Hearing Screening
bill and it passed.
From time to time he speaks at events hosted
by the local AgBell chapter.
Possibly Terry would have still supported the
bill even if he did not know the deaf, but knowing
the deaf helped him push the bill even harder!
This is the Power of the Personal Contact.

DEALING WITH DEAF AIRLINE PASSENGERS
A deaf American was flying home from China,
where he visited on a business trip.
On the trip back home, the flight attendant
gave the deaf passenger a thick book on airline
safety instructions.
This gesture was great, except that it was in
Braille!
And compounding this incident was the sarcastic
comment by the deaf passenger. He said:

You forgot to give me a wheelchair.

Much to his surprise and dismay, the flight
attendant said:

Oh, yes, and I would do that!

TALES FROM FORMER DEAF PIZZA DRIVERS

(series to be run on a weekly basis until list of
tales run out)

On a delivery run I was given the wrong apartment
address and knocked on the door of a blind man.
He let me in, and I thought he was the one that
ordered pizza. After some awkward moments I
realized he never ordered pizza and that the
address was wrong. As quietly as possible I let
myself out of the apartment!

interesting tale, please share it with:

31st World's Largest ASL Silent Weekend in 2010
Signing Greeting Cards
ASL and Interpreting DVDs

We had over 600 at the recent silent weekend.

The venue for the June 24-27, 2010 event will handle 700-1000
participants and include a medical interpreting track. Novice,
beginning, intermediate and advanced ASL and ITP students, as
well as interpreters (CEUs offered) will have around 150 hours
of seminars to choose from.

The 31st Silent Weekend is at the Florida Hotel at the Florida
Mall in Orlando with its huge food court allowing you to have
a complete meal for $5.99 instead of paying $20-30 at other
conferences' hotel prices. The room costs are even lower
next year ... just $105 with free parking and unlimited free
internet!

Students and professionals seeking to improve their skills
can bring family members and they can take novice sign
language classes for just $89 per person!

There will be group registration opportunities online after
July 1 at www.DrSign.com . There are simply no other local,
regional or national conferences offering you so many hours
of classes as inexpensively as the Silent Weekends. Just
check them out!

Final details will be online beginning in August but the
cost per person is as low as $149 per person and exhibit
tables at $150.

Sign language DVDs are available online at
http://www.DrSign.com -

A brand new DVD "When 'Duck' is not Enough" to show you
how to represent inanimate objects is now available.

The 8th Florida/Alaska Motorcycle Charity Run for deaf babies
is currently under way.

See http://www.deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,705315218,00.html

Hot DeafNews boring, but important!

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission,
which is to Canada what FCC is to us, laid down the order that
all cellphones and text messaging pagers must be deaf-friendly.

This order will be phrased in segments within the next few
years.
