GALLAUDET DIVERSITY OFFICER ACCUSES UNIVERSITY OF DISCRIMINATION IN LAWSUIT
Gallaudet University’s chief diversity officer has accused her employer of violating a D.C. anti-discrimination law after a controversy last year that stemmed from her signing a petition that forced a public referendum on Maryland’s gay-marriage law. Angela McCaskill alleges in a lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that the university mistreated her after a professor questioned her in October 2012 about her signature on the petition. Her lawsuit accuses Gallaudet of violating anti-discrimination provisions of the D.C. Human Rights Act and of intentionally causing her emotional distress. / The Washington Post

BANK OF AMERICA SUED AFTER FIRING OF DEAF EMPLOYEE IN LAS VEGAS
Bank of America faces a lawsuit after federal officials said the company failed to provide a sign language interpreter for a deaf employee in Las Vegas and eventually fired her because of her disability. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsuit Wednesday on behalf of Melchora Lee, who was dismissed from the bank in 2010. Commission officials said Lee started working as a cashier in 1998 and had a supervisor who could communicate with her in sign language. But starting in 2003, she was supervised by managers who didn’t know ASL. The suit claims the bank ignored her requests for an interpreter, hurting her performance and leading to her firing. / Reno Gazette-Journal

DEAF MAN SUES TOWN OF FRAMINGHAM, CLAIMING POLICE DAMAGED HIS HANDS
A deaf man from Framingham has filed a lawsuit against the town accusing its police officers of violating his rights when they arrested him three years ago. The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Boston last week, also alleges Jon Dresser suffered permanent damage to his hands, which as a deaf person he uses to communicate, as a result of being handcuffed roughly during the incident. Dresser is seeking unspecified damages from the town and police officers Jose Goncalves, Donald Spaulding and Wayne Jordan, as well as other unnamed officers. / The MetroWest Daily News

TEMPE HOUSING COMPLEX FOR DEAF UNDER FIRE
State officials and advocates for the deaf are ramping up the pressure in a legal dispute with the federal government over fair-housing policies and a Tempe housing complex that accommodates deaf, deaf-blind and hearing-impaired senior citizens. For nearly two years, Apache ASL Trails and its residents have been in the middle of a disagreement between state and federal officials over whether the complex violates anti-discrimination laws and regulations for federally funded housing programs. State officials say the complex was built with features specifically to assist hearing-impaired residents, but federal officials say it violates federal housing discrimination rules because it does not do enough to also attract non-hearing impaired residents. / The Republic

DEAF AIRLINE PASSENGERS SEEK CAPTIONED ENTERTAINMENT
Andrew Phillips is frustrated by flying, but not just for the usual reasons. Despite technology available now, Phillips, who is deaf, finds most in-flight entertainment doesn't have captioning so that he can enjoy it with other passengers. "In my opinion, the airline industry has done a terrible job of making their in-flight entertainment options accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing community," Phillips, who is policy counsel for the National Association of the Deaf, told a Senate hearing recently. / USA Today

Witnesses told police the man was attacked by a group of three to four deaf men, who also beat the man's friend. / San Jose Mercury News

MARYLAND LAWSUIT OVER CAPTIONING FOR DEAF NOT UNIQUE, LIKELY WON'T BE THE LAST
University of Maryland at College Park sports fans can work around the lack of captioning on football and basketball scoreboards by visiting a website on their portable devices that translates game announcements via text, but that may not be good enough.
The National Association of the Deaf is suing Maryland over the issue, arguing that the Americans With Disabilities Act and Rehabilitation Act obligate the university to equip its facilities with captioning technology that informs deaf attendees of plays and penalties called, safety and emergency information, and any other announcements. / Inside Higher Ed

YOUNG, DEAF ATHLETES GET A SPORTING CHANCE
Rick Zimmer knows what it's like to be playing sports when you can't hear the coach. When he was younger, Zimmer, who is deaf, could shoot a puck and skate during a hockey game, but, without a sign language interpreter, he missed out on advice from his coach to take his game to the next level. Now, thanks to a mediated settlement facilitated by the Manitoba Human Rights Commission, Zimmer's 16-year-old son, Cody, and other young deaf athletes will have access to American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation services during games. / Winnipeg Free Press

DEAF GARDENER BUILDS BUDDING BUSINESS
A deaf gardener has built a niche business by growing vegetables for a chain of ethnic grocery stores in Saskatoon. This spring, Ashton Hnatuk started growing hard-to-find produce for the Swadesh Supermarket chain. The Bangladeshi owner of the chain said it was almost impossible to find certain types of fresh vegetables. Hnatuk set to work, planting seeds that have likely never been grown in the province before. "Well, it's something new to learn," said Hnatuk through a sign language interpreter. / CBC News

A DEAF/MUTE WAS ALSO KILLED BY GUNMAN AS HE FLED THE SCENE
Within an hour, Honduran Oscar Leonel Benitez was murdered to protect the identity of the man who killed Juan Carlos Olmedo. In a tragic twist of fate, both killer and victim chose the same trail in the bushes behind Camalote – one was fleeing after a murder and the other was simply returning home after tending to his farm. Benitez was a deaf mute from birth, but that did not save him. He was shot three times as he rode his bicycle on the path. When he didn’t return home a search party went out and discovered his body. / Channel5Belize.com

Flood lights pour bright, hot rays on to the Hammer Hill Sports Ground in Choi Hung. The lush, green pitch is circled by a rust red athletic track. Eight lanes, delineated by freshly painted, white lines, mark the track for more than 100 hot, sweaty bodies running laps on a balmy September evening. On the sidelines, people sit, stretch, talk technique, and gossip. Some speak, some sign, and some do both. Kate Cheung Fung-oi stands among a group of panting runners dressed in neon orange jerseys. Using a mixture of words and gestures, she is giving feedback to her team of blind and deaf runners. / South China Morning Post

IUK STUDENTS GET SMALL TASTE OF STRUGGLES OF DEAF
Workers at Cougar Country Café held up signs scrawled with messages asking Indiana University Kokomo students if they needed a receipt or wanted a fork to go with their meal. The students buying lunch nodded or shook their heads in response — not saying a word. They had seen the sign another student was carrying around. It said, “Silence Please.” And so the Kelley Student Center Commons remained eerily quiet Sept. 24. Students and staff took part in a silent lunch to celebrate Deaf Awareness Week. / Kokomo Tribune

Far from the clatter of cities, the nation’s farmers are assaulted every day by the earsplitting squeals of hundreds of hogs, the roar of tractors and the incessant whine of grain dryers during the fall harvest. An estimated one-third of the nation’s three million farmers have some level of hearing loss caused by their inner ears’ daily bombardment from sounds that can rival a rock concert’s sonic impact. Even farmers still in their 20s can end up with the muffled hearing of someone in middle age if they fail to protect their hearing. / The Associated Press
