SPRINGFIELD TO PAY $450,000 TO DEAF MAN INJURED BY POLICE
The city of Springfield has agreed to pay $450,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a deaf man injured by a police officer in September 2012. Raymond Toll, 62, suffered a serious knee injury when Officer Charles Conrad forced him to the ground in the parking lot of an auto parts shop. Conrad handcuffed Toll shortly before the takedown, after a shop employee reported that Toll was causing a scene and possibly suicidal. Under the settlement deal, Toll will be paid $200,000 to compensate him for pain and suffering; $150,000 for attorney fees; $86,624 for medical bills; and $13,376 for various court costs. / The Columbian

DEAF VERMONTERS SEEK BETTER OPTIONS FOR SERVICES AND SCHOOLING
Tammy Eaddy asked her daughter to tell a reporter what it had been like at Underhill Central School, which Neila attended from 2011 until early 2014. "It was really hard to understand what was going on," Neila signed. Neila had an interpreter with her in class, she recalled, but still, "If I was stuck with my homework, I would just go home and ask my mom for help." Neila's mom pressed her to talk about what the mainstream elementary school was like for her socially. "It was hard to understand my friends," Neila replied. / Seven Days

BLACK HISTORY MONTH CELEBRATION TO HONOR 'COLORED SCHOOL' FOR THE DEAF
Several local historical groups are collaborating to present an all-day event Thursday celebrating Black History Month. This year’s celebration is focusing on the history of the “colored school” at the Kentucky School for the Deaf, which existed from 1885 to 1963. KSD became the first state-supported school of its kind in the nation in 1823. In 1885, the school accepted blacks, but they were segregated into the KSD “colored division” and didn’t have the same expectations or opportunities as their white counterparts. / The Advocate Messenger

PETITION SAYS DEAF, DISABLED, TRANSGENDERED PEOPLE WOULD NEGATIVELY EFFECT NEIGHBORHOOD
Shock and outrage are some of the feelings being expressed online after controversial comments made by a group hoping to stop the construction of an addiction recovery house in North Vancouver. A petition, circulated at a public meeting, says that the facility would bring people in unsafe situations into the community. In a poorly blacked-out statement that is still quite visible, the petition states “transgender, deaf and disabled” people are also among those who would “hugely affect the neighbourhood in a negative way.” / NEWS 1130

It was fall of 2011, and I was in a loading dock at Gallaudet University, the U.S.’s primary college for the Deaf and hard of hearing (HOH), for a campus party. Mylar laid on the floor reflected sharp green lasers and shot across the cave-like venue. The stage is packed, too, with a revolving rotation of DJs and rappers signing as they spat. Leading up to that night, many students effectively scared me with warnings. “Wait until tonight,” they told me through an interpreter. Multiple people emphatically advised earplugs. “If not, you’ll be Deaf, too!” one joked. / Wondering Sound
