Top stories about the deaf:
The editorial code in Great Britain is to avoid
making negative references to the deaf and the
disabled. This code has not always been followed,
according to a British critic.
The United Nations has declared September 23rd
as the International Day of Sign Languages.
Caravan Food Group, a chain which operates fast
food outlets in the Philippines, has made it a
priority to hire deaf for jobs in the field.
The old building that once housed the Metro Deaf
School (St Paul, MN) has been sold to a developer
for $2.68M.
Motorcyclists converge annually at the Sturgis
Motorcycle Rally. Deaf cyclists are no exception,
just that they get together with their own rallies
within one big Sturgis rally. And the Black Hills
Association of the Deaf has hosted an event for them.

EASIER TO TEACH SIGN LANGUAGE WITH DEAF DOGS
Many dog trainers teach their dogs to follow
sign language commands – such as sit, lie down,
come to me, etc.
Which is easier to teach signs? A hearing dog
or a deaf dog.
Most trainers say it is much easier to teach
a deaf dog than a hearing dog.
Why? Because noises may bother a hearing dog
while noises never bother a deaf dog!

This week’s ASL video in youtube
A HEARING PERSON’S CONFESSION
A hearing person had a confession. When he sees
deaf people using sign language to communicate with
each other, he always stares at them.
Rude ? Yes, but the hearing person said sign language
is so beautiful that he loves to watch even though he
does not understand a word.
It is the same as a deaf person watching a band, led
by a band leader who uses his hands to guide the
musicians. A deaf person may not understand music but
enjoys watching the movement of the hands.

Rene Pellerin’s Corner:
There are statistics about people who are employed and those that are
unemployed.
The information about DeafBlind employment status is shocking.
More than 83 percent of the DeafBlind population are unemployed.
Are the agencies who provide employment training and job placement helping?
Maybe we need to start advocating and get DeafBlind services as a priority.
Vocational Rehabilitation Services need to roll up their sleeves and give
DeafBlind people more support.
Did you know that each state is required to have a State Rehabilitation
Council?
I strongly encourage you to become a council member and advocate for
DeafBlind needs!
Rene’s show business started in year 2010 and it focuses on the
Deaf-Blind.
