-- Maryland judge grants a peace order against a deaf abuser
Ivan Shevchenko was banned as a participant with a deaf video
group. Angry, he threatened Tayler Mayer, the deaf video
group owner with violence. As a result, Tayler obtained
a peace order, warning Ivan to stay away or face arrest.
-- a deaf bartender deals with hard to understand hearing patrons
Toronto deaf bartender Amanda Grundy was recently interviewed by
a newspaper reporter about her job. A big question was
communications with the hearing patrons and hearing staff.
She said some know ASL, some use notes, some use iPads, and
some use gestures. And mirrors are important in the bar,
because it allows deaf employees to observe who is walking
behind them, and to avoid accidents.
