BANK OF AMERICA SETTLES DISCRIMINATION CASE INVOLVING DEAF CUSTOMER
Bank of America will pay $155,000 to settle allegations the bank ignored a deaf customer’s request that it communicate with her solely via email as she sought a mortgage modification she was ultimately denied, the Minnesota Department of Human Rights announced. In her complaint, the customer, Kathryn Letourneau, said she had requested the bank use only email to communicate with her during the modification process. The bank initially honored her request but then stopped honoring it in the months immediately before it decided to deny the modification, the department said. / The Charlotte Observer

DEAF OR DEATH? IN DRUG TRIAL, PARENTS WEIGH LIFE VS. HEARING LOSS
While waiting for an infusion of a drug that might save his life, 15-year-old Andrew Marella gripped the controls of an NFL videogame, the hand-held version of a sport he played when he could still run without fear. Andrew is in a clinical drug trial of cyclodextrin, a sugar-based substance that scientists hope will stop or slow the progress of a rare genetic disease that kills most patients by the time they are old enough to vote. There is a good chance cyclodextrin will extend Andrew’s life. But his parents worry this will be the dose that leaves him deaf. / The Wall Street Journal

CONTAMINATED DIRT EXCAVATED AT CALIFORNIA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF
The California School for the Deaf, Riverside is saying good-bye to a toxic legacy. Warning signs have gone up in the community. Large areas of the campus have been fenced off. And work has begun on a $400,000 project to remove about 2,900 tons of soil contaminated with unsafe levels of lead, arsenic and two kinds of pesticides that have been banned for decades because of their toxicity. The good news is that state education and environmental officials say they have no evidence that anyone has been harmed. Still, no one can say for sure. / Riverside Press-Enterprise

DEAF DRIVER ACCUSED OF HITTING WOMAN IN 2014 'ZOMBIE WALK' CHARGED
A deaf man who drove through a crowd at the "Zombie Walk" during last year's Comic-Con is facing a felony charge. Matthew Pocci is being charged with felony reckless driving resulting in serious injury, according to a letter sent to him by the San Diego County District Attorney's Office. On July 26, 2014, as the Zombie Walk was underway, a woman was struck by a black Honda sedan driven by Pocci. Cellphone video showed Pocci's car inching into a crowd at the intersection. As the crowd surrounds him, Pocci drives away, hitting a woman and leaving her with a broken arm. / KGTV

LOCAL MAN SAYS DIRTY WATER LEFT HIM DEAF
A St. Johns County man says he's deaf in one ear and he blames it on dirty water. Brendan Hoffman says reclaimed irrigation water got into his ear and caused an infection that wouldn't go away and now he's worried other people will get sick. Hoffman lives in Nocatee and says that the community uses reclaimed water for irrigation. The JEA, which provides the water to the development, says the water is reclaimed from runoff or sewage, but the utility says it is highly treated and disinfected. / WJXT

SUIT AGAINST FEDEX MOVED HERE
A federal court has decided to move to Pittsburgh a suit alleging that Moon-based FedEx Ground discriminated against deaf employees. U.S. District Judge William Nickerson of the District of Maryland granted the company’s request to move the venue because it was more convenient for witnesses. Many of the FedEx employees who developed the policies under scrutiny are in the Pittsburgh area, even some who may no longer work for the company, he wrote in his decision. / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

DOMESTIC TERRORIST ITAI CARDONA DEAF FRAUD
“This is a guy who has the capability of being very dangerous,” said the Special Education teacher. “He has a lot of different faces to him and can be very manipulative.” His birth name is Christopher Suttles and he is a convicted domestic terrorist using the name of Itai Cardona. It is not against the law to change your name and deaf people deserve help in communicating. However according to a police report from Springfield, Missouri this appears to be a case of fraud – because Itai Cardona (or Christopher Suttles) appears to be not deaf at all. / Desert Vortex

AFTER GOING DEAF, MISSOURI WOMAN SOUGHT OUT LOCAL AGENCY FOR HELP
After gradually losing the hearing in one ear, the total loss of her hearing came quicker than expected. Pamela Rickey didn’t think much when she noticed some loss of hearing in her left ear while in high school, nor at the age of 25 when a doctor noticed significant hearing loss. Four years later, while in the hospital with breathing problems, the bigger picture started to unfold. / Tulsa World

AUSTRALIA LEADS THE WORLD IN TEACHING DEAF CHILDREN TO HEAR AND SPEAK
Australia is leading the world in teaching deaf children to hear and speak, The Shepherd Centre said on the back of a groundbreaking study released March 2. The study reveals that deaf children who receive earlyinvention services can go on to develop vocabulary and speech skills better than their typical hearing peers. Based on data from 696 Australian and New Zealand children, the study found that 83 per cent of deaf preschool children had better or average vocabulary skills compared with typical hearing children. / Daily Telegraph

PLYMOUTH BUS DRIVER 'THREATENED TO KICK OFF NOISY DEAF CHILD'
The father of a little boy suffering from severe hearing loss was told by a bus driver that either he quieten his ‘noisy’ son or get off. Kyle Johnson, 23, was travelling back from a pediatric hospital appointment with son Ethan when the 2-year-old got excited and started talking loudly. The driver called him over and said passengers had complained about his son and he had to quiet down or get off. Thankfully Kyle managed to lull the toddler to sleep in his pushchair and stay on the bus, but he has accused the bus driver of discrimination. / Metro News

CAN DEAF COMEDY BE FUNNY FOR EVERYONE?
Deaf humour is gaining pace with a new breed of stand-up comedians. But is it possible to get the jokes across to a hearing audience if they are performed in sign language? Rinkoo Barpaga and John Smith are deaf comedians who both perform using sign language, but they have very different approaches to comedy. Barpaga hasn't been doing stand-up for long, but has been making friends laugh for as long as he can remember. He jokes mostly about his experience of growing up deaf, or "just funny stuff that happens that I'd tell my mates about at the pub." / BBC News

CONCERNS FOR DEAF MAN JAILED OVER BUS DEATH
The Irish Deaf Society (IDS) has expressed concern about the sentencing of a man who is Deaf and who cannot speak as the Irish penal service currently has no designated policy for the rehabilitation and education of Deaf people. Edward Connors, 31, was sentenced on Monday to seven years in prison over the death of Eoghan Dudley in December 2012. The court heard there are no specific rehabilitation services for Deaf people in Ireland, they will not be in place until next year, and there is no money to send the man to the UK for these facilities. / The Journal

SIGN LANGUAGE BIBLE APP IN JAPAN COULD 'CHANGE DEAF CULTURE'
A new Sign Language Bible app in Japan is not only giving Deaf Japanese people instant access to Scriptures in their mother tongue, but its development could help Sign Language Bible translation globally. Japanese Sign Language (JSL) is the mother tongue of around 320,000 people in Japan. Never having heard spoken Japanese, they find it very hard to read written Japanese – it is, in effect, a second language for them. That’s why work has been ongoing for the past 20 years to translate the Bible into JSL – a project called ViBi (Video Bible). / United Bible Societies

THERE ARE SIGNS OF GREATNESS IN DEAF WEST'S 'AMERICAN BUFFALO'
One would be surprised and even skeptical at an attempt to convey the personality of David Mamet’s language through American Sign Language, and a far easier approach might be to shed a new light on Mamet, emphasizing not the dialogue itself but the silence in between. This might be expected, but Deaf West Theatre hardly strives for what’s expected. Rather, this collaboration with Cal State Los Angeles boldly translates Mamet’s signature style of dialogue into ASL, capturing the playwright’s fiery essence with brilliant insight and delicious aggression. / Neon Tommy

I WAS A DEAF MUSICIAN
The metal headband was tight. Painfully tight. To make things even more uncomfortable, there was a small plastic box attached and it was pressing just behind my right ear. The doctor reached over and hit a switch on the box. I heard a loud beep and then I was suddenly thrust into what seemed like another world. The room, which had seemed so quiet a second before, was suddenly alive with sound. Suddenly, for the first time in a long time, I heard my father’s voice. “Can you hear me?” / Buzzfeed

DESPITE PARTIAL DEAFNESS, MICHAEL CUDDYER OK WITH OF SHAKEUP
Michael Cuddyer has barely played left field in his career, but is willing to give it a shot if it helps the Mets. Manager Terry Collins revealed Sunday he is considering the idea of keeping Curtis Granderson as the right fielder and asking Cuddyer to play left — a position at which he has started only three games in his 13-year major-league career. Cuddyer is deaf in his left ear as the result of a childhood virus, but said hearing the center fielder call for a ball won’t be an issue if he’s asked to play left. / New York Post
