Spotsylvania County, VA
DEPUTIES: DEAF AND MUTE 89-YEAR-OLD WOMAN SHOT BY HUSBAND
Spotsylvania deputies say Pauline Finney, 89, has been deaf and mute since the age of 12. Now her husband of 65 years has been locked up for allegedly shooting her. “Heard the sirens and all the officers. It was a melee,” said Cloverhill Court neighbor Troy Cornett. Cornett said his neighborhood’s sense of peace had been pierced by the crack of two gun shots that left an elderly woman – with no way to cry for help – trying to make as much noise as she could. / WTVR

DEAF MOTORIST WHO GOT $93K FROM ST. PAUL HOPES POLICE LEARN FROM ARREST INCIDENT
Doug Bahl, a deaf St. Paul man, said what happened to him at the hands of St. Paul police in 2006 was an "unnecessary tragedy," but he also hopes it "becomes a learning experience." Bahl, 62, spoke Thursday, May 9, the day after the city council approved a $93,450 settlement of his federal lawsuit. As part of the settlement, St. Paul police "agreed to make some very significant changes in how it's going to ensure effective communication with deaf people in the future," said Rick Macpherson, an attorney with the Minnesota Disability Law Center who represented Bahl. / Pioneer Press

Tempe, AZ
HUD ACCUSES ARIZONA FACILITY OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PEOPLE WHO AREN'T DEAF
Clearly indicating that the Department of Housing and Urban Development has too much free time on its hands, an Arizona facility for the deaf or hearing impaired is being charged with discrimination because only six of the complex’s 75 units have been rented to people who can hear. Apache ASL Trails, located in Tempe, Ariz., was specially designed by a deaf architect for residents who are deaf or hearing impaired. Of the 75 apartments in the building, all but six have been rented to residents who are either deaf or hearing impaired. Unfortunately, that’s not enough to meet HUD’s requirements. / Infowars.com

Washington, DC
D.C. HOUSING AUTHORITY HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE DEAF INTERPRETERS, LAWSUIT CLAIMS
Two hearing-impaired women have sued the District’s public housing agency, claiming that it has “routinely” denied them and other deaf residents sign-language interpreters as required under federal law. Jacqueline Young and Latheda Wilson filed suit Tuesday in U.S. District Court. The D.C. Housing Authority, they say, has subjected them to “degrading treatment” by forcing them to communicate with agency representatives through “scribbled notes, attempts at lip reading, or bringing their children or other family members.” / The Washington Post

On their journey, they hope to bring attention to the transformative power of American Sign Language and international sign languages. / San Jose Mercury News

SCARED, ABANDONED AND IGNORED: PUBLIC SERVICES FOR DEAF PEOPLE
Most of us take the ability to communicate for granted. Yet for those people who are deaf, dealing with public services without qualified British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters can be at best stressful and at worst potentially dangerous. As many as one in six people are deaf or hard of hearing, but hospitals, police and other important public services are not legally required to offer qualified sign language interpreters, enabling them to opt for unregulated interpreters. Failure to finance, or make sufficient attempts to obtain a qualified interpreter, is unacceptable and we are calling on the government to make qualified, regulated interpreters a legal obligation throughout the public sector. / The Guardian

London, England
DEAF PEOPLE'S LINGUISTIC CULTURE IS BEING ALLOWED TO DISINTEGRATE
When I was a kid, I used to play at being deaf by covering my ears. Obviously, this was not a very satisfactory approximation of the deaf experience, and I didn't really have an inkling of what it meant to be deaf until I shared a car with a hearing friend who works as a British Sign Language interpreter and three other BSL speakers. / The Guardian

PLEA TO SPLASH THE CASH TO HELP DEAF OLDHAM SCHOOLBOY SWIM WITH PALS

I'M SEVERELY DEAF AND PARTIALLY SIGHTED, BUT HAVE LEARNED 5 LANGUAGES. HERE'S MY STORY
Recently, I requested some of your success stories and the most inspirational one that came my way by far was from a Scottish lady, Julie Ferguson. She has had a hearing problem her whole life, that has gotten worse with time, and in recent years has started to lose her sight too, being officially registered as partially sighted and needing to use a white cane. Despite these obvious huge challenges, she has a passion for learning languages that means that nothing can stop her. / Fluent in 3 Months

Deaf and hearing impaired-people are able to have a good laugh at this year's International Comedy Festival. It is thanks to four sign language interpreted shows in Auckland and Wellington. The shows coincide with Sign Language Week. One of the interpreters, Kelly Hodgins, says it is harder than regular signing. "Deaf humour and hearing humour is very different." / Newstalk ZB

LEARNING TO SIGN LIFE CHANGING
To be able to communicate with sign language offers freedom to those who cannot hear, says a Timaru woman who was born deaf. Julie Nielson's mother contracted german measles (rubella) during her pregnancy, resulting in her daughter's deafness. Ms Nielson did not learn sign language until she was a teenager but wishes she had known it earlier. To celebrate New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) Week (13-19 May), Deaf Aotearoa is calling on all New Zealanders to learn at least some signs. / Stuff.co.nz

Victoria, Australia
DEAF COMMUNITY WELCOMES RETURN OF AUSLAN COURSE
Members of Victoria's deaf community say the return of a course teaching the Auslan sign language will go some way to addressing a shortage of interpreters in the state. The Kangan Institute of TAFE stopped teaching Auslan last July, leaving Victoria with no course for new students wanting to become interpreters for the deaf. The State Government has announced a new $5 million deal for a consortium to deliver the Auslan course. / ABC News

DEAF STUDENT EXCELS WITH CHALLENGE
Vincent Roman was stuck on an island in the hearing-impaired program at Alonso High School. With a mixture of special-education classes and mainstream courses, he wasn’t challenged enough. He was bored. He needed something different. So he went from the inner circle of hearing-impaired students he had grown up with at Alonso to the only deaf student at his neighborhood school, Sickles High. More than just surviving among a student body of nearly 2,100, Roman has excelled. / The Tampa Tribune

DEAF PRIDE GAMES BRING STUDENTS TOGETHER, REIGNITE FRIENDSHIPS
Todd Wells of Stanton makes a living as a local disc jockey, playing music at numerous parties and weddings throughout the year. One might wonder then, why his favorite gig year after year is one where he blasts his music at full volume for an audience of students who can’t hear a single note or lyric. Enter Friday’s annual Deaf Pride Games at Montcalm Community College, where Wells set up his equipment and cranked the volume to levels that shook the college. / Greenville Daily News

DEAF AND BLIND STUDENTS GROW GARDEN
Students at Virginia's School for the Deaf and Blind are learning about eating healthy, local foods. They're doing that by growing their own garden. The idea is to teach students about life outside the classroom. The program's manager wants good, local foods to be accessible to all students. “Education about where food is coming from and the natural world is important for every child, and that does not exclude the population of students we have here, who are deaf or blind,” said Nicholas Swanson, the crops program manager. / WHSV

PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES FACE GAP IN HIGHER EDUCATION EMPLOYMENT

DEAF EMT 'BETTER THAN SOME HEARING STAFF' WITH BETHLEHEM AMBULANCE COMPANY
Global Medical Transportation Services Ambulance Capt. Don Burslem didn’t know what to think when the person on the other line told him he was on the phone with a deaf person. How could he hire a deaf emergency medical technician for the Bethlehem-based ambulance company? EMTs need to communicate with their patients, with their partners, with hospital officials over the radio. But Burslem decided to take a chance on hiring Chad Grabousky, and more than two months later, he’s very glad he did. / The Express-Times
