“Kami and the Yaks” at Harris Communications
Winner of numerous children book awards, “Kami and the Yaks” is
the story of a young, deaf Sherpa boy whose family earns their
living by guiding mountain climbers and carrying their gear on

himself to find the wandering herd. Despite his fear of being
alone, Kami finds the courage to keep searching even in the face
of a fierce storm.
“Kami and the Yaks” is a book that opens new worlds to young
readers.
Children will admire the young hero and be captivated by the
illustrations and text.
“Kami and the Yaks” (B1091) is now on sale at Harris
Communications for only $15.95, regularly $17.95.
Sale ends January 8, 2009.

News of the Week
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle newspaper forgetting
its own history?
This newspaper ran a piece outlining important events
in for the past 175 years.
Yes, it mentioned Rochester School for the Deaf
(1876) but did not mention the NTID!
The newspaper completely forgets that NTID has
enhanced Rochester as a great American city!
…
The American Association of People with Disabilities,
which hopefully recognizes the deaf as a singular political
force, is pushing a demand onto the Obama Administration.
The demand is jobs, jobs and jobs for the disabled,
the deaf included.
…
A Deaf Beer Tour? Yes, Ken Fisher, Master Brewer,
Deaf Beer, is planning to give a tour of Grateful
Deaf.
In planning for 2009 are brewing tours at:
– Rome, Italy
– Yorkshire, England
– Denmark
Also in the plans is a new brew called
Grateful Deaf Summer Sue Wheat, brewed in honor of
Susan Elliot, a deaf teacher who was recently named as
the Colorado Teacher of the Year.
Rome, Italy? Hope deaf hotelier Roberto Wirth
will serve Grateful Deaf on taps for the hearing
patrons at Hotel Hassler!
…
In the courtroom, and everywhere else, the rule is
that if a deaf person does not know ASL, then use the
CART.
The courtroom in Ottawa County, Ohio did not follow
this courtesy. The judge threw out the case because of
one deaf juror, who did not know ASL.
It concerns overturning of an aggravated vehicular
homicide and involuntary manslaughter conviction. The
deaf juror in the case could not hear a 911 tape that
was used in the conviction.
Questioned a deaf attorney, not involved with the case:
if she didn’t know ASL, why wasn’t she given CART is
beyond me?

Michigan, has a new executive director – in Katie Prins.

WHICH BACKGROUND IS BEST?
At schools for the deaf, at agencies serving the deaf,
and even at Gallaudet as we await who the new president
will be, our CEO’s have different backgrounds.
Some CEO’s have backgrounds in Deaf Education. Some
CEO’s are business people that know corporate management.
Some CEO’s are fund raisers.
Which CEO background is more important? There is no
perfect CEO, and at some schools, the screening committee
may like one CEO but not like another CEO. But at other
schools their preferences are different.
This is why we hope that whoever becomes the next
Gallaudet president will be “perfect” for us.

http://www.deafdigest.com/best.htm
MANY BOOKS ABOUT THE DEAF AND OF DEAFNESS
Go to a deaf bookstore at Gallaudet and you will
see many books about the deaf and of deafness.
Many of these books are written by authors that
know nothing about the deaf, yet are able to write
books!
Why? Good question.

DEAF BEER IN YORKSHIRE
If you are touring Great Britain, and pass through the
city of Yorkshire, be sure to stop at the Elland Brewery.
At Elland Brewery, do order “Deaf Beer” on taps, and
you will get a liter.
The Deaf Beer is Grateful Deaf, brewed by Ken Fisher,
USA’s Master Deaf Brewer..
You only can drink if you are on the Elland Brewery
premises.
Do click on:
http://www.eandsbrewery.co.uk/php_scripts/seasonalbeers.php
SIGN LANGUAGE AND BODY LANGUAGE
In some nations sign language is advanced; in some other
nations sign language more or less is primitive.
As a rule, when sign language is advanced, body language
is not used. And the less advanced the sign language is, more
body language is used.
A trained deaf eye would tell which signer is from a nation
with advanced sign language and which signer is from a nation
with less advanced sign language.
A clueless person would not know the difference.
OUR MIW’S
What is our 10 MIW’s? MIW’s stand for Most Important
Words.
This was in reference to a posting on a web site asking
individuals to select their ten Most Important Words. They
would use these MIW’s for texting purposes in case they
became suddenly deaf.
These important words are:
yes, no, I’m, hungry, come, go, away, help, goodbye, hello
On what criteria were these words selected as MIW’s?
Do not know.
WHO WOULD REMEMBER?
If you would remember Dr. Patricia T. [Tobie] van der Vorm,
then please step forward!
DeafDigest, exactly two years ago, announced the selection
of Patricia T. [Tobie] van der Vorm as the chief headhunter
of the Academic Search Consultation Service that was to be
hired just for one specific task.
That task was to find the next president of Gallaudet
University.
DeafDigest will stop at that and hope that the new
presidential search, spearheaded by Jim Macfadden and
his committee, will do such a fantastic job of finding
someone, no stones unturned, that will lead Gallaudet for
years to come.
AN OLD ARTICLE – REMINDER FOR OBAMA
Barack Obama is our next President. Hope he will
take the deaf into consideration.
Below is an article posted in DeafDigest 10 years ago:
Deaf political appointees? In the eighties Ron Stern (now the
superintendent of the New Mexico School for the Deaf) was appointed
to the Fremont City Recreational Council.
In the nineties, Bob Davila was a high level appointee to a high
level Federal education position.
Right now in the 2000’s, Jim Brune, a San Franciscan, has been
appointed to the Mayor’s Disabilities Council.
If the decade by decade trend continues we will see the President
select a deaf person to be a member of his cabinet in the 2010’s.
As a sidebar, all three individuals were Californians!
Will we be seeing a Deaf Poltical Appointee serving on the
Obama Administration?
DeafDigest hopes so/
A DEAF MAN IN A PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FIELD
Look at rows of apartments or rows of office buildings
anywhere. These units are maintained by property managers
that work for a property management company.
Have we ever had a deaf person in the property management
field?
Yes, there is one – in a mid-American state. For reasons
of confidentiality, that person did not want to be
identified.
What are his tasks:
– getting maintenance requests from tenants
– assigning such tasks to maintenance crew
– invoicing tenants and owners for maintenance on their sites
– resolving maintenance issues with owners
– surveying property damage
Communication barriers? He said:
Yes, communication barriers exist at my work
Explaining, he said he may have to write notes and
use relay services. Yet he has to deal with hearing people
that have no clue what these services are all about. He
also uses text pagers and instant messaging pagers.
In brief, he said that each day is a new experience for him,
so many different people and so many different incidents.
WHAT IS DEAF IDENTITY?
Go to any Deaf Home and you will see flashing
signalers installed everywhere.

Q. Do we have deaf attorneys operating own private practices?
A. Yes and no. Only just a few do, but their wives work to
supplement the family income

Wish List of the Week:
that our Deaf Beer, Grateful Deaf, will be served
on taps at all leading bars and restaurants in
USA. It is being brewed by Ken Fisher, a Deaf Master
Brewer.
….
DeafHistory – Looking Back:
Year 1966 – The Deaf American ran an article with
said:
Keeping up with all the research projects concerning
deafness and the deaf is next to impossible – at least
from the standpoint of the layman. Only a handful have
time to read (and perhaps follow up on) the research
abstracts
The more things change, the more things remain the
same – meaning a glut in deafmaterial!
…
Deaf and the Money:
Deaflympics is coming up this year at Taipei.
At the past Olympics, swimmer Michael Phelps won all
these gold medals along with millions of dollars in
endorsement and business deals.
Our gold medal winning Deaflympics athletes will
earn $0.00 for their efforts.
Gold medal deaf athletes from Taipei, the host nation,
will reap a fortune of NT$1 million or US$30,432.
This figure is being upped from NT$750,000 from the
past Deaflympics
For American deaf athletes, to win is to declare a
vow of poverty!
Very sad.
…
DeafNumbers of the Week:
A CI will last 70-80 years. Those implanted in the eighties would
have by then had four or five upgrades.
