-- anger in Colorado Springs over interpreter no-show
About 15 deaf residents of Colorado Springs, CO
showed up for a city council meeting yesterday
to discuss a controversial issue. Only one thing
went wrong - interpreter never showed up.
Already fingers are pointing at each other!

-- two deaf state employees win national honors
The State of Vermont Transportation Agency has
two long time deaf employees. An important task
they perform is plowing snow off state roads.
During their free time, they compete as a team
in Truck Rodeo, and recently they won the
state championship against other hearing
teams. They moved on to the National
Snowplow Rodeo in Colorado and came in third
place! Said a friend - very impressive!
-- a director/producer refuses to give role to deaf
Kate Siegel has directed, produced and written
her own film - Hush. It is about a deaf
character in a horror plot. Instead of looking
for a deaf actress, she cast herself in that
role! Why? During a press conference, her
responses were vague and unsatisfactory!
So disappointing. Something interesting -
the Netflix which fought us on captioning
before we won, won the rights to distribute
this fake-deaf movie!
