Top stories about the deaf:
Do we have too many proposed sign language gloves?
There is another one – a team of students from the
Instituto Tecnológico Superior de Paysandú in
Uruguay has come up with such a glove. It is supposed
to convert sign language to printed words on the
computer screen.
Jimmy Gore, who teaches at Gallaudet and is deaf, has
won a Fulbright award to teach his English Language learning method for the deaf in the Czech Republic.
A British hearing man Albert Davenport went to hospital
for treatment for his swollen leg. He came home as a
deaf man. Doctors gave him twice the dose of antibiotics.
The hospital was forced to him £40,000 in damages.
The Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Government (DHHIG) plans
to amend its mission to read as: “DHHIG empowers Deaf and Hard of Hearing Federal Employees to overcome communication barriers, resolve accessibility issues, and promote a fully
inclusive work environment through networking and fostering professional growth”
The Social Security Administration wants to evaluate the criteria
on what defines hearing loss.

OUR STUBBORN DEAF HANDYMEN
We have many deaf people that are great handymen.
They can build anything – often better than hearing
handymen.
There is one problem – communications. When these
deaf handymen have a problem during their projects,
they often do not go back to the hardware store to
get advice. It is because they are afraid to try
to communicate – and there may be misunderstandings.
As a result, some of them work 3-4 months on a
project that can be finished in one Saturday morning!

DEAF BUSINESS PEOPLE ARE NOT SNOBS
Many deaf business people do not socialize with
other deaf people at deaf events.
Snobs? No way! They are very busy operating their
own businesses. They worry about their businesses
every day.
So if you go to a deaf event and do not see deaf
business people, be more understanding!

Rene Pellerin’s corner:
Rona writes again! A guest wrote her similar experiences. Thanks
Rona!
‘Hugging the wrong person!’
For anyone who has Usher Syndrome, the common symptoms would be:
having difficulty seeing a person or object in ‘dark or dimly lit’
areas.
When René wrote: “Party Time!”, the story has a very familiar ring.
If a family member informs you that a family friend is coming soon
for a visit, you prepare yourself to greet this anticipated friend.
This happened to me! I walked into our ‘dark, dimly lit’ foyer. I
was expecting to greet our” family friend” in there talking with a family member. I assumed that I knew who that “visitor” was and I immediately jumped to hug the “visitor” with a joyous and surprised hello.
I quickly felt my family member gently pull me back and explain to me
with embarrassment, this supposed “family friend / visitor” is a service-repairman!
Oh, whooooops! Red-faced here!
Rene’s show business is now entering its 3rd year and it
focuses on the Deaf-Blind.
