-- hard of hearing actor to play hard of hearing role
Archie's comics have been famous for many years,
antics of best friends Archie and Jughead made us laugh.
Not any more - Jughead is now hard of hearing and he
is no longer friends with Archie. Jughead's hard of
hearing role is being played by a hard of hearing
actor. Who? Do not know. Anyway, Jughead's picture
(revised) is at:

-- a strong demand by a deaf community
Nakura, of some 310,000 people, is Kenya's fourth
largest city. Deaf leaders in Nakura made a very
strong demand - that sign language interpreters
be always available at all police stations!
Does not matter if no deaf people come to one
police station, the interpreter must still be
available. Will Nakura city officials listen
to the deaf? Probably not!
-- legislator wanted deaf college on deaf school campus
State Rep. Antonio Maestas (New Mexico) had this idea -
to establish a new deaf college to share the same
campus with New Mexico School for the Deaf. He hosted
a hearing to listen to comments from the Deaf
Community. Everyone spoke against the idea, and as
a result, this idea is dead!
