A deaf woman, an expert on beauty and make up tricks, has
an advice. She advises deaf women that use ASL to polish
their finger nails with a bright polish. That way, deaf
people can follow the ASL signs. DeafDigest editor that

-- deaf father of hearing son twice refused interpreters
A deaf father visited two big colleges with his hearing son
who was interested in enrolling as a student. Twice he
asked these colleges for interpreters and was refused each
time. They told him "we cannot find an interpreter for you".
A deaf attorney said there is no excuse for a big state
university to refuse interpreters, by saying "we cannot
find one". He also wonders if the college will use it as
an excuse in the court!
-- a police department finds money for deaf emergency equipment
Deaf emergency equipment at police stations and emergency centers
are expensive - over $100,000. Many police departments and
many cities are broke - so how would they find money for our
emergency communications needs? For the Zanesville Police Department
(Ohio), it was easy, without using tax dollars. Funds seized
through drug arrests were used to purchase deaf emergency
equipment for that police department!
