POPE'S RESIGNATION PUTS SPOTLIGHT ON NEW DOCUMENTARY
Earlier this month, filmmaker Alex Gibney released an HBO documentary, “Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God,” about clerical sex abuse at a school for the deaf in Wisconsin. Gibney spent a couple of years on the film, which explores the Vatican and priesthood as well as the individual stories of abuse victims at the Wisconsin school. This week, Gibney first heard news of Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation when he received a 7 a.m. phone call from CNN requesting to interview him. “I thought it was a prank call,” he said. / The Wall Street Journal

GALLAUDET MARKS 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF DEAF PRESIDENT NOW MOVEMENT
Deaf President Now, a massive student uprising in March 1988, drew global attention to Gallaudet University and in general to the cause of advancing equal opportunity for the deaf. Protesters demanded that Gallaudet’s trustees reverse their decision to name a hearing educator as president and instead name the first deaf president for the school since it was founded in 1864. Trustees initially resisted. But DPN won. On Tuesday, the three presidents who have led the university since then — all deaf — gathered for a forum. / Washington Post

A Gaffney man was arrested after investigators said he tried to kill his deaf parents in a house fire Monday morning after stealing from them. Cherokee County Sheriff Steve Mueller said 22-year-old Fletcher Blanton removed a lighted fire alarm system in the home before setting the house ablaze. Deputies said Blanton reported the fire after he awoke to smoke inside the home, then woke up his parents, who were able to get out of the home safely. / KPHO

BOONTON JUDGE RULES DEAF WOMAN ACCUSED OF DWI DID NOT NEED SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER
A deaf motorist who insisted she needed an American Sign Language interpreter to understand the risks of refusing to take a breath test was adequately advised through a series of written exchanges with a police officer, a municipal court judge has ruled. Town Judge Andrew M. Wubbenhorst on Jan. 7 conducted a four-hour court hearing on the circumstances of the May 26, 2012, motor vehicle stop of Kelly Romano and late Tuesday he issued a written decision that denied her lawyer’s motions to dismiss the charges. / Daily Record

DEAF EMPLOYEE SUES ALPHA SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR ALLEGED DISCRIMINATION
Alpha Public School officials allegedly discriminated against a deaf employee by not rehiring the woman this school year, according to a suit filed in New Jersey Superior Court in Belvidere. Melinda Walsh alleges that the Alpha Borough School Board and Superintendent Greg McGann didn’t renew her position as a part-time instructional aide largely because of her disabilities, which include being “profoundly deaf” and having an “obvious speech impediment,” according to the complaint.

SCHOOL FOR DEAF AND BLIND SEEKS ABOUT $10 MILLION FOR UPGRADES
Repairing buildings and making construction upgrades makes up the meat of a funding request being pitched by the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind in St. Augustine. The school is asking for $9.7 million in construction money, a steep increase over the $1.4 million in Gov. Rick Scott’s proposed budget and the $1.6 million it got last year. The $1.4 million is the same amount requested by the Florida Board of Governors, which oversees the school’s budget. / The Florida Times-Union

THE STAR OF WINTER STORM NEMO: THE GOVERNOR'S SIGN-LANGUAGE INTERPRETER
In times of crisis, extraordinary human beings rise to the occasion. Our civic leaders have come forward in advance of Winter Storm Nemo with news conferences trying to prepare and sooth concerned citizens. While they’ve performed admirably, their efforts pale in comparison to that of the sign language interpreter at Governor Deval Patrick’s news conference last night.

WESLEY IN STALEMATE ON $20M LAND DEAL
Wesley College's $20.5 million bid to buy land next to its St Kilda Road campus has become mired in a stalemate between the charity that owns the property and the school for the deaf occupying it. The impasse shows no signs of breaking nearly 18 months after Deaf Children Australia agreed to sell the 5471 square metre site, which holds a primary school and garden used by the Victorian College for the Deaf. Principal Maureen Douglas said the VCD remained opposed to the deal for both practical and ethical reasons. / The Age

Profound hearing loss has never prevented Alice Woodcock doing the job she loves - until now.

DUAL ADAPTATION IN DEAF BRAINS
The brains of deaf people reorganize not only to compensate for the loss of hearing, but also to process language from visual stimuli—sign language, according to a study published February 12 in Nature Communications. Despite this reorganization for interpreting visual language, however, language processing is still completed in the same brain region. / The Scientist Magazine

A sad mood is what welcomes you to Mbale’s School for the Deaf. A few teachers are in the staffroom discussing the fate of the results for 38 students that have been withheld by the Uganda National Examinations Board (Uneb) over alleged malpractice. The deputy head teacher, Ms Esther Mukite, says on Wednesday, a day before the release of the results, Uneb rang her and asked her to go to Kampala with the students who sat last year to explain something. “But it is difficult for us to get these students from wherever they are to take them to Kampala, we do not have money,” Ms Mukite said. / Monitor

TALKING HANDS: ELIZABETH BJERKE, AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER
When learning a new language in school, students are usually graded on pronunciation, spelling, translation and grammar. When Elizabeth Bjerke, 34, worked her way through the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, a college of the Rochester Institute of Technology, to become an American Sign Language-English interpreter, she was graded not just on the movement of her hands but on how she used her entire body, even her eyebrows. Today, Bjerke works as an independent contractor and has been hired as an interpreter for almost every occasion you can imagine. / Seven Days

ENROLLMENT AT STATE SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF HAS DWINDLED, BUT SERVICES ARE STILL VITAL FOR SOME
"Set it up, count it out," second-grade teacher Nancy Wilson told her class during a recent math lesson. The tutorial was a success, but because the three students in Wilson’s tiny class are all deaf or hard of hearing, the lesson wasn’t audible to a visitor. Wilson and her students at the Marie H. Katzenbach School for the Deaf communicated using American Sign Language. These students are among a group of roughly 150 from across the state who attend New Jersey’s century-old, state-run school for the deaf, which is located in Ewing on a sprawling 110-acre campus. / NJ.com

INSIDE THE LIFE OF A DEAF DALLAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYER: IS IT HARDER?
The constant clanging of iron weights used by student athletes sounded throughout a workout room at Woodrow Wilson High School. But for varsity football player Montray Roberts, there was silence. The 17-year-old is deaf, as are some other students who were lifting weights that day at the Dallas ISD campus. The East Dallas school doubles as a regional school for the deaf, and the staff and students are probably among the most accepting when it comes to those with hearing difficulties. / The Dallas Morning News

Hello Tom,
I am writing a paper and I was wondering if you have any stats on the number of deaf people in Redding, California? I have searched and cannot find this info. Thanks for any help!!
-- Mary Ellen Geeslin

Editor replies: Nobody really knows this sort of thing because no one asks such questions. All you can do is find out the overall population of the area and then multiply it by the percentages of people with hearing loss in the general population. You can find this info at the following link:

http://research.gallaudet.edu/Demographics/deaf-US.php

Here's the important part:
-- About 2 to 4 of every 1,000 people in the United States are "functionally deaf."
-- Anywhere from 9 to 22 out of every 1,000 people have a severe hearing impairment or are deaf.
-- Anywhere from 37 to 140 out of every 1,000 people in the United States have some kind of hearing loss.

Good luck with your paper.
