SURPRISE POLICE IDENTIFY MAN WHO DIED IN MOBILE-HOME FIRE
Surprise police have identified the man who died after a fire broke out in his
mobile home trailer in Surprise last month as 23-year-old William Brumley. The
fire began just before 4 a.m. Oct. 20. Neighbor Linda Posey said she and her
husband were awaken by a gun shot and cries for help. When her husband ran outside
to help, Brumley was trapped inside the home and his father was desperately
trying to save him. / The

TITO GONZALEZ HONORED FOR SAVING PAUL WALLER'S LIFE WITH CPR
When Paul Waller told his friend Tito Gonzalez that he didn't feel too well
and was going to skip a workout at the YMCA last spring, those could have been
his last words. Not too long after the chat, he was stricken by a heart attack.
Gonzalez, sensing something just wasn't right, decided he would stop by Waller's
home to check on his friend. He found Waller in cardiac arrest and immediately
administered CPR. Waller and Gonzalez, who are deaf, met about two years ago
at a group gathering. / Democrat

DEAF STUDENT'S CASE WILL GO TO MEDIATION
The question of whether a South Charleston student who is hearing impaired should
be required to attend Capital High School is headed to mediation. Ariel Depp,
a 16-year-old who has been home schooled this year, has been the center of a
battle with the Kanawha County Board of Education. Depp's mother, Regina Pine,
was in Kanawha County Circuit Court Tuesday morning for a hearing. Pine was
recently charged with truancy, but Pine said she believes the charges will be
dismissed because she presented the proper paperwork to demonstrate that Depp
has been home schooled this year. / WOWK

SCHOOLS FOR DEAF AND BLIND TO DEVELOP PROPOSAL
The West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and for the Blind has received the go-ahead
to develop a 10-year comprehensive plan for their aging facilities and instructional
methods. After an audit in 2010, multiple problems were identified with the
school's administration, facilities and instructional practices. At one point,
26 students staged a sit-in to protest conditions. Superintendent Patsy Shank
stepped down in March and was replaced by Lynn Boyer. On Tuesday, Boyer told
state school board members of plans to hire an architectural firm to begin developing
the school's Comprehensive Educational Facilities Plan. / Charleston

FALLING ON DEAF EARS!
A judge's hearing let him down when he asked a defendant what he did for a living.
In a thick Mancunian accent Martin Morgan, 26, replied that he was a 'ground
worker.' But Judge Jamie Tabor QC misheard and thought that Morgan was admitting
to be 'a burglar.' Morgan, from Manchester, quickly corrected the judge before
he was given a one-year community order. / Daily

FACEBOOK POST LEAVES AUCKLANDER OUT OF POCKET
Roi Stephens usually ignores messages telling her she's won an international
lottery draw. But she thought information about a sweepstake from someone who
appeared to be her aunt must be genuine. Now the hearing-impaired Henderson
resident is almost $1300 out of pocket after being told she'd ''won'' $20,000.
She received a message through Facebook last month from a fraudster who had

THE FASCINATING STORY OF A COURIER COMPANY RUN BY DEAF PEOPLE!
A few days before the country celebrated Eid, Mumbai-based entrepreneur Dhruv
Lakra found himself with a rather unique problem on his hands. A Muslim gentleman
who'd heard of his courier service wanted them to deliver over 3,000 Eid cards
across the city. It was a challenge that few courier companies of that size
could've been able to meet. With Mirakle the challenge gets more complex --
all its delivery boys and each of its back office staff is deaf. / Rediff

SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF SET TO WIND DOWN AS ENROLLMENT FALLS
After almost half a century, the writing is on the wall for the Singapore School
for the Deaf (SSD). Started in 1963, it has seen enrolment fall in the past
decade as fewer children are suffering serious hearing loss thanks to early
screening and medical advances. The school is likely to close around 2016 when

A HEARING AID THAT CUTS OUT ALL THE CLATTER
After he lost much of his hearing last year at age 57, the composer Richard
Einhorn despaired of ever really enjoying a concert or musical again. Then,
in June, he went to the Kennedy Center in Washington, where his “Voices
of Light” oratorio had once been performed. This time, the words and music
were transmitted to a wireless receiver in Mr. Einhorn’s hearing aid using
a technology that is just starting to make its way into public places in America:
a hearing loop. / The

UCLA'S DEBATE TEAM CAPTAIN DOESN'T LET HEARING IMPAIRMENT HOLD HIM BACK
Students sitting near UCLA undergraduate Nick Matthews in a political science
or history class this quarter might notice that he listens with almost surreal
intensity or that he is wearing a hearing aid in each ear. Or classmates might
see that there's a stenographer in the room who is transcribing the text of
the lecture so that Matthews can view it on his computer along with them. If
they guessed that Matthews has a severe hearing impairment, they'd be right.

The stands are full for the Tennessee School for the Deaf Vikings’ last

already up 52 to 6 in the second quarter. No, the majority of people in the
stands for the Vikings’ game are like the kids on the football team: They’re
