DeafDigest - 30 November 2018

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - November 30, 2018   -- good fortune for a scammed deaf couple Malcolm Wilcox and Delwin Slade wanted home improvement work on their house. They were scammed by fake-builders that promised to rebuild, but ran away with their money. This sad story was reported in the media. To their surprise, a local TV program on home building featured them - money poured in from the public. Right now there is enough money to do a complete rebuild that was promised them in the first place. It happened in Great Britain.   -- amazing deaf-blind participant Jason Ruggirello, who is deaf-blind, plays pool as a member of his team in the Mid-Michigan American Pool Players Association. He is not the best player in the league, but is #1 player when it comes to inspiring all the participating pool players, all of them hearing.   -- elected public official insults the deaf Charley Martin, not deaf, was a long time Bucks County (Pennsylvania) Commissioner. He may not seek reelection. Way back in 2010, a hearing took place to evaluate the costs of interpreters in the Bucks County Court. He thought it was a joke when he said that instead of hiring interpreters, these deaf people should have their hearing tested first before they enter the court system!     Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 11/25/18 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
