-- a perfect deaf role model
Yesterday's DeafDigest ran a story about a successful
deaf landlord with his own rental properties. It
was learned that years ago he had several tenants
that were deaf. They learned all about real estate
from this deaf landlord; currently each of them own
several rental houses! This deaf landlord is certainly
a role model for deaf interested in a rental properties.
-- a funny police report about deaf
New Minas is a small town, of just 5,000 people in
Nova Scotia, Canada. Very possibly few hearing
people may have met a deaf person in their lives
in that small town. Anyway, a deaf man entered
a restaurant. For some reason, he waved his arms.
Someone reported this incident to the police.
They came over, realized the person was deaf and
they let him go without arresting him or charging
him with disturbing the peace.
-- a desperate interpreting situation in one state
A web posting about interpreters for the deaf in
Oklahoma was not good news. It said the state
has 335 school districts with deaf students.
And that between 100 and 200 interpreters may
not be able to meet interpreting standards.
This story was just saying that more money is
needed from the State Legislature to upgrade
interpreting standards. Is there a quick
solution? Yes, there is a certain school in
Sulphur, Oklahoma - the Oklahoma School for
the Deaf!
