-- a greedy banker ordered to pay deaf woman $500,000
A British banker and his wife, both greedy, lost in
a lawsuit and was ordered to pay $500,000 in damages to
a deaf woman. She was living in a small house on his property.
He wanted to evict her so that the property could be sold for
a big profit. She refused to move. He harrassed her for
five years - spreading false rumors about her, attacking
her, attempting to send her to a mental hospital, locking
the entrance to her rental home, etc. Now everyone in
the small British town hates the greedy banker and his wife!
-- today another new surprise about Japan's Beethoven
DeafDigest thought the story of Japan's Beethoven
is finished. It is not finished! There were three
things about Mamoru Samuragochi (never late-deafened,
never made his own music, he said he was deaf in past
but is hearing today). And now today - the fourth
thing - that many more new fans are buying his albums
and it is #1 in Japanese musical CD sales! Lying and
dishonesty? No matter to these musical fans!
-- a deaf participant in the Sochi Winter Olympics
We have a deaf participant in the Sochi Winter Olympics,
going on right now. It is Elena Yakovishina, from
Russia. Specializing in alpine skiing, she finished
14th in the super-combined and 28th place in the downhill.
Interestingly enough she said that her hearing aid
helps her while doing downhill with the skis. Hearing
aids are not permitted in the Deaflympics and in the
Winter Deaflympics! DeafDigest thinks she is the first
deaf participant in the Winter Olympics; we have many
deaf participants in the Summer Olympics, but not in
past Winter Olympics!
