Dear Friends,
One of the most interesting and fascinating stories that we've come
across in these days is we have students raising funds to help pay for
a deaf teacher's cochlear implant. Kudos to the students who made a
positive impact on their deaf teacher. The story is in the outside
news section.
People connected to Univeristy High school's deaf and hard of hearing
program appear to be playing sick games with us. We really dont
deserve this and dont appreciate such childishness from one of the
last of the ASL militant strongholds in the Southland. We dont need
their childish games. If 'transportation' is an issue, they can
easily walk over to our agency than send us silly email messages.
We might have a new person moving in from Seattle, Washington who will
help us with a number of our activities. We are thrilled at the
strong possibility of one of our newsletter contributors, Mac Crary,
becoming more physically involved with our agency operations in the
near future. Mac is oral deaf and has a strong personal mission
himself and our facilities are perfect for that mission and having him
with us will strengthen our alignment with our mission and vision
statements.
Do you shop at Albertsons or Sav-on stores? You can get a free
community partners card at those stores and then add it to our list of
supporters. A percent of what you buy will go to helping our Deaf
youth program. If you already have a school or other program that you
are supporting, don't worry, you can add your card to support our
program too! There are two ways to add your card. You can email your
First and Last name with your phone number and community partners card
number to [email protected] or you can download and print our
Albertsons / Sav-on Community Partners signup forms at
http://www.deafadvocacy.org/community/AlbertsonsSignup.pdf and have
your friends, neighbors, associates, and relatives sign up as
supporters and then mail the form to the address on the form. To reach
our funding goal we need 25,000 supporters who shop at Albertsons /
Sav-on. And remember to use your community partners card when you shop
at Albertsons or Sav-on.
This has rather been a slow week in the area of community advocacy.
Not all 52 weeks is seen bustling with community advocacy activities.
We have a church in Brea offering us the use of their property for an
ASL festival like event. Yesterday I had an interesting discussion
with people connected to it and the idea looks excellent for us to
have small "ASL Sunday Festivals" each Sunday complete with outreach
booths from various organizations serving the deaf and free food to
all participants. We should begin this on or around the 2nd week of
April. This will be a great suppliment to our education program.
The editor's younger brother, Robert, made it through open heart
surgery last Monday. He had been a familiar face in the office, our
fundraising and educational outreach activities. We look forward to
his ongoing of our mission and vision statements.

Macy's Community Shopping Day 2006, an in-store shopping event and
fundraiser for charities in the Orange County community, will be held
on May 12, 2006 at Macy's South Coast Plaza. We have 200 tickets to
sell. We need to sell at least 100 of the tickets at $10 each. And
we'll need at least 5 or more volunteers on hand as well. Besides a
good operation at Macy's Community Shopping Day would be as good as a
decent birthday gift to the editor from our communities. The money
will be used for operating expenses and the fee for our Orange County
fair fundraiser stand which is expected to be around $900 plus the
cost of insurance.
We have started on our giant Orange County Fair educational booth
planning for this upcoming summer. This year's theme is 'Flower

Our OC Fair fundraiser merchandise stand is taking upon a nice shape
and color. We plan to subcontract 3 people to man the fundraiser
stand for us.
We have started a Campbell's product label collection campaign to help
us raise the means to get supplies for our office Start saving your

of them accumulates and sends us 900-1000 labels a month, we'd be able
to get lots of new equipment for our office and internal and external

Deaf Pizza Gathering - Important meeting on decision to stay there or
change
Hello, everyone. This is a special reminder notice for our March
social gathering at Shakey's Pizza in Palm Springs.
As you may know, there has been some discussion as to whether or not
our group should continue with Shakey's or move to another PS or CC
location. At the Feb gathering the group decided that some additional
alternatives to the Chinese buffet should be looked into and discussed
before a decision is made. Alternative restaurants have now been
investigated and this will be discussed at the March gathering.
Several restaurants have been looked at, and those most closely
fitting the groups needs have been determined. The things considered
in alternative locations were:
a) suitability of the facility's layout to accommodate our Deaf group
b) comparable pricing to Shakey's buffet
c) availability of ample parking
d) flexibility of the restaurant to our variable number of
participants each month
Please try to attend the Shakey's gathering on Sat, 4 March, between
11 am and 2 pm. The subject of location and the most viable options
will be discussed. The Deaf attendees will be asked to vote on
staying at Shakey's or relocating to another specified location.
Please be assured that, as normal, hearing participants will not be
permitted to vote on this Deaf community matter. Our participation
and involvement with your social activities is with your grace, and
for this we are very appreciative. The hearing members of your group
will gladly support whatever decision you make.
Thank you. And we hope you will be able to attend and cast your vote.

TDI Agrees that All VRS Providers Allow Users of Their Equipment to
Access Other VRS Providers
Press Release
February 22, 2006
Contact: Jenny Witteborg
Email: [email protected]
TDI Agrees that All VRS Providers Allow Users of Their Equipment to
Access Other VRS Providers
Silver Spring, Maryland – Telecommunications for the Deaf and Hard of
Hearing, Inc. (TDI) learned last Monday of the agreement by Sorenson
Communications to allow its VP-100 users to access other VRS providers
by no later than July 1, 2006. This certainly levels the playing
field for interoperability and functional equivalency, and TDI is
pleased that Sorenson Communications has now decided to participate
with other VRS vendors in providing publicly administered Video Relay
Services in an unlimited competitive market across America.
Sorenson Communications announced its plans to allow the users of its
VP-100 videophones to access not only Sorenson's VRS interpreters but
also the interpreters of other Video Relay Service (VRS) providers by
no later than July 1, 2006. Sorenson has indicated its intent to
unbundle the use of its equipment from the use of its video relay
services so that its customers, if they choose, would be able to use
its high-end technology to connect to other VRS providers.
Dr. Roy E. Miller, TDI Board President, said, "The TDI Board of
Directors is elated over this good news. We believe all VRS providers
should keep the issue of equipment usage separate from the issue of
which relay service a person chooses to use, and that they should
compete with other VRS providers on the basis of the quality of their
VRS services. This week's turn of events is leveling the playing
field among VRS providers, and VRS users will ultimately benefit
substantially by experiencing greater choice and better quality of VRS
services."
Dr. Miller went further to say, "TDI wishes to thank its national
consumer advocacy partner organizations, the rest of the VRS industry,
the Federal Communications Commission, and, in particular, the
California Coalition of Agencies Serving the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
for their key efforts toward bringing about this week's decision by
Sorenson Communications. TDI pledges to work closely with all VRS
providers, the FCC, and all other stakeholders in accomplishing a
smooth transition to this new era of total consumer choice in the
selection of VRS service providers."

ADAPT National Days of Action: March 18th - 23rd
By Randy Alexander
MCIL.org
Nationally, ADAPT focuses on promoting services in the community
instead of warehousing people with disabilities in institutions and
nursing homes. Attendant services (help with things like eating,
dressing, toileting, moving from wheelchair to bed, etc.) are the
cornerstone to community based services for people with severe
disabilities. ADAPT is working to get 25% of the Medicaid long term
care funds redirected to pay for a national, mandated attendant
services program. In Tennessee, ADAPT is making plans for its national
days of action during the week of March 18th -23rd in Nashville.
ADAPT has a long history of organizing in the disability community and
using civil disobedience and similar non- violent direct action
tactics to achieve its goals. In 1983, as a project of the Atlantis
Community in Denver, ADAPT began its national campaign for lifts on
buses and access to public transit for people with disabilities. ADAPT
started as American Disabled for Accessible Public Transit. For seven
years ADAPT blocked buses in cities across the US to demonstrate the
need for access to public transit. Many went to jail for the right to
ride.
ADAPT played a major role in gaining passage of the Americans with
Disabilities Act, ADA, particularly in ADA's stringent requirements
relating to accessible transit, and its being seen as a civil rights
law. Passage of this bill has meant victory for ADAPT in our struggle
for lifts on buses.
Once the transit issue was won and access was begun to be guaranteed,
ADAPT felt it was clear attendant services must be our next issue. In
a national planning meeting July 1990 ADAPT targeted the reallocation
of one quarter of the federal and state Medicaid dollars from
institutional programs to consumer controlled community based
programs. ADAPT now also stands for American Disabled For Attendant
Programs Today.
Many of ADAPT's members have been locked away in nursing homes and
institutions because of their need for attendant services. Many had to
fight to get out, and were among the lucky few who were able to get
enough support services to live in the community.
Because of outdated attitudes toward people with disabilities which
label us as "sick", our needs are seen as "medical" and a huge system
of institutional facilities has developed to provide for these needs.
This institutionalized industry which has developed continues to use
up massive amounts of funds to maintain the status quo. ADAPT wants to
reverse the bias so that community based attendant services are the
common option, and nursing homes are reserved as a last resort.
ADAPT is planning a national ADAPT action during the week of March
18th to March 23rd in Nashville, Tennessee and the group is seeking
volunteers. The event will engage hundreds of people with disabilities
in activities that will change their lives.
The focus of this campaign will be called, "Money Follows the Person."
With potential federal and state legislation in the works which would
allow those who need personal attendants to have a choice to have
their services provided out of the home rather than being forced into
institutionalized care. The Money Follows the Person Act is part of a
national effort to encourage states to allow the money to follow the
person, so people who are living in nursing homes or other
institutions could have the money "follow them" as they move out into
the community onto community based services.

The Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center provides services for disabled
individuals and their families in our community who need help in
navigating the social services maze. Every day people go without
proper food, shelter, and essential medical care every day due to a
variety of factors including low wages, job loss, injuries, illness,
age, domestic violence, or divorce. While all of us are susceptible to
hard times, disabled individuals are at the most risk. With the
generous support of people like you, we are able to help many of these
families and individuals not only to meet essential daily needs, but
to work toward a brighter future with programs in job training,
education, counseling, elderly assistance, and temporary housing.
