-- a possible job for the deaf in air flight field
Could a deaf person find a job in the air flight field
possibly as a pilot? A young deaf man is enrolled in
classes at Air Flight. This organization's mission is
to give opportunities to the deaf and the disabled
in flight and aviation careers. This deaf man is
Raymart Tinio.
-- gave up in a reality TV show with and a surprise
Nina Poersch, who is deaf, has been eliminated from the
Survivor: No Collar reality TV show. What happened?
She was always complaining of being left out of the
group activities because of her deafness. Her
complaining made everyone uncomfortable. There was
a surprise. Joe, who is not deaf, knew sign language
because his mother was an interpreter. He tried to
be her "best friend" but she avoided him. This was
Nina's biggest mistake. While the TV audience loved
her, this behavior turned off the cast members.
-- a shocking reason why an elected deaf politician quit
Marisa Salzer, who is deaf, was an elected member of the
council at Montesano City, Washington. She fought with
the council on interpreting issues, going through six
different interpreters until she was satisfied with
the seventh interpreter. Yet, she suddenly quit,
surprising everyone. Why? She accused the council of
hassling her over a state law! It says that emails,
discussing city business, is public record, even if
these came from her private email address. Rather than
to show the public her private emails, she quit.
