Dear Friends,
The Health Fair in Anaheim last Saturday was good. Had a good turnout.
National Association of the Deaf has decided to relocate the NAD
Conference to Palm Desert, California. We are thrilled to see this
large deaf organization having their conference here in our home
state. We will make every effort to participate in this great event.
More information on the NAD conference is in this newsletter.
We got the invite to Fullerton Winter Festival. It's a food stand
fundraiser and we did very well last year. We submitted all the
permits, fees, and applications on the same day we received the invite
in hopes we get all of our menu offerings.
Crazy October is already wearing us down. The editor's back already
hurts from all the loading and unloading of fundraising and
educational materials. So far the results of Crazy October has been
very positive on the educational booths and mixed on the fundraising
booths. It's almost over with next Saturday being the last booth.
HOT NEWS is RIM loses their appeal and with over 30% of the deaf
communities dependent on RIM based communication devices, the impact
on the deaf communities could be huge.
Finally take the time to read the letters we've been getting.

Native Americans. Why shouldn't it work for the Disability
communities? The proposed Social Security rules will limit appeals
and create a new process that is less about truth-seeking and more
hostile to applicants.

NAD Relocates 2006 Biennial Conference to Southern California
The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) is pleased to announce that
its 48th Biennial National Conference will be held at Desert Springs
a J.W. Marriott Resort, in Palm Desert, California, June 29-July 3,
2006, which is in close proximity to the Palm Springs International
Airport. Mother Nature, in the form of Hurricane Katrina, forced the
NAD to find a new location for the conference originally scheduled for
New Orleans, Louisiana.
"We grieve with the rest of the nation on the destruction caused to
several states by the hurricane. Because of the uncertainty about the
New Orleans city infrastructure, the NAD Board of Directors felt that
it was in the best interest of all involved to move the 48th Biennial
National Conference in 2006 to Region IV and return to New Orleans in
2008," said NAD President Andrew J. Lange.
The Desert Springs Resort sits on over 450 acres of lush grounds and
lakes and is one of the largest resort complexes in the southwestern
United States. Located 11 miles from Palm Springs International
Airport, 78 miles from Ontario Airport and 130 miles from Los Angeles
International Airport, the resort is a self-contained, thriving oasis
with gorgeous meeting space all on the same floor, two championship
golf courses on the property, tennis and swimming facilities, and one
of the finest resort spas in the United States. Five restaurants,
Starbucks and several small food outlets will sure that attendees will
not go hungry.
"This is the perfect place to have a conference," said NAD Chief
Executive Officer Nancy J. Bloch, "the meeting space is wonderful and
everything is under one roof. This conference is about change, a
unique and different kind of conference site, a change in dates, and
most importantly -- we will all be changed in the most positive way
after the 2006 NAD Conference experience!"
The Conference officially begins on Thursday, June 29 with forums and
workshops starting in the afternoon and Opening Ceremonies and a
Welcome Reception that evening. Pre-conference sessions for the NAD
Board and official delegates take place on June 28. The NAD College
Bowl Competition is on Saturday, July 1. The NAD 125th Anniversary
Celebration Banquet is scheduled for Sunday evening, July 2, and the
NAD Miss Deaf America Pageant finals will be held on Monday evening,
July 3, the last night of the conference week.
Exhibits, workshops and forums will all take place in two huge
ballrooms that easily accommodate all NAD Conference plans, with major
evening events taking place right next door to exhibits and workshops.
"The California Association of the Deaf is thrilled to welcome the NAD
Biennial National Conference to our beautiful state," said Richard
Ray, President. "We look forward to working with the NAD to make this
a most memorable event."
The basic 2006 NAD Conference schedule is now on the NAD website at:
http://www.nad.org/2006confschedule
Detailed information will be posted on the NAD website within the next
few weeks. "Our focus, in respect to the conference, the last few
weeks since Hurricane Katrina was finding a new location for our large
and unique meeting," said President Lange. "Now the NAD Board of
Directors and NAD Headquarters staff are hard at work to ensure a
successful national conference in Southern California," he continued.

Hamilton Relay, Inc.
Relay Presented at the Congressional Hearing Health Caucus
The Congressional Hearing Health Caucus (CHHC) participated in a
Luncheon Briefing on Emergency Preparedness yesterday in The CHHC, a
bipartisan caucus of members from the House and Senate, is committed
to supporting the needs of those who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Founded in 2001, CHHC highlights the issues of critical importance to
those with hearing loss through periodic briefings and correspondence
with all Members of Congress. The caucus briefing was also supported
by the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Alliance and Friends of Hearing Health.
Presenters include Dan Sutherland, Officer for Civil Rights and Civil
Liberties at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security; Cheryl Heppner,
Executive Director of Northern Virginia Resource Center for the Deaf
and Hard of Hearing Persons; and Dixie Ziegler, Vice President of
Hamilton Relay. These key leaders presented on topics such as
Emergency Preparedness and Emergency Communication Access and the
impacts emergencies have on individuals who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.
Dan Sutherland outlined the impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on
individuals with disabilities including deaf or hard of hearing
people, highlighting the efforts of the Interagency Coordinating
Council on Emergency Preparedness and Individuals with Disabilities.
The council plays an important role in ensuring accessibility for
those with disabilities during emergency situations and disasters.
Cheryl Heppner reported on the findings of a recent special needs
assessment conducted by The National Organization on Disability (NOD),
along with what's been learned from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Heppner also shared how the nation can assist those with hearing loss
to be prepared for future emergencies and disasters.
Dixie Ziegler focused on the necessity of providing individuals who
are Deaf, Hard of Hearing or Speech Disabled with functionally
equivalent telephone accessibility. Through the availability of
today's wide array of advanced Telecommunications Relay Services,
opportunities for individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or speech
disabled to communicate over the telephone have emerged. Ziegler
explained how Hamilton Relay ensures uninterrupted, 24-hour telephone
access to its customers in the event of a disaster.
"Hamilton Relay is extremely pleased to have sponsored this event,"
says Dixie Ziegler. "We hope that this caucus will result in better
preparedness for all types of disasters."

USA COURT FOR DISTRICT OF MARYLAND MAKES DECISIONS:
1) COURT IS NOT PROPER FORUM TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BETWEEN DEAF
PLAINTIFF AND DEAF DEFENDANTS
2) COURT REJECTS $1 MILLION CLAIM BY DEAF ANARCHISTS AMMONS AND JORDAN
VS. DEAF OMBUDSMAN PINCHAS
3) CISS/DEAFLYMPICS WAS NOT A PARTY TO LAWSUIT
Yesterday, on October 20, 2005, the Press Office of the
CISS/Deaflympics has issued to the world its brief and vaguely-worded
Press Release with its propaganda-themed U.S. District Court of
Maryland Rejected Pinchas' 4th Civil Action Suit headline
www.deaflympics.com
Once again, defendants Donalda Ammons ( herein, "Ammons" ) and Jerald
Jordan ( "Jordan" ) - individually or jointly or through their
attorney from the National Association of the Deaf ( NAD ) Kelby N.
Brick or the Press Office of the CISS/Deaflympics - have failed to
clearly and truthfully explain as to what actually happened with the
lawsuit case, including what was decided by the Court and why the
Court dismissed the case, etcetra.
Ammons and Jordan or their attorney Kelby N.Brick have also continued
to irresponsibly, intentionally and misleadingly imply that the
organization of the CISS/Deaflympics was involved as a lawsuit party.
By utilizing the above-mentioned questionable propaganda tactics,
especially among the 94-nation-members CISS/Deaflympics organization
and its leaders, Ammons and Jordan have again "painted" themselves as
the "true lawsuit battle winners," while Pinchas is "a loser!"
However, the facts and reality were and are quite different ones.
For the purposes of clarification, rebuttal, accurate and fair
reporting, here are the following facts.
On March 2, 2005, plaintiff Rafael Pinkhasov Pinchas ( "Pinchas" ),
appearing as a pro se, submitted his defamation of character lawsuit
action against four ( 4 ) different defendants - Ammons, Jordan,
Bobbie Beth Scoggins ( "Scoggins") and the United States Deaf Sports
Federation ( "USADSF" ).
The organization of the CISS/Deaflympics, like in the previous
lawsuits, was not specifically named by Pinchas as a party to this
lawsuit action.
Like in the three previous lawsuit actions filed in 2001 and 2003 (
twice ) by Pinchas against Ammons and Jordan on an individual basis,
the Court in Maryland again dismissed Pinchas' claim this time. Such a
dismissal was principally based on the fact that "this Court is not a
proper place or it has no jurisdction over disputes related to the
internal rules" of deaf organizations such as the CISS/Deaflympics.
Additionally, here are the main points outlined in Senior Judge
William M.Nickerson's 11-paged Civil Action Number WMN-05-629
Memorandum Decision recently:
- "While the Court can understand Pinchas' frustration at being
precluded from serving a very worthy cause about which he is obviously
passionate, this Court has repeatedly indicated to Pinchas that the
federal courts are not proper forum to resolve his disputes with
Ammons, Jordan, Scoggins and USADSF;"
- "As for the requirement of joinder of CISS/Deaflympics, Ammons and
Jordan have proffered nothing to establish that CISS/Deaflympics is a
necessary party in this action. While the Complaint repeatedly
mentions the USADSF and it might be inferred that the Individual
Defendants ( that is, Ammons, Jordan and Scoggins ) were acting on
behalf on that organization, the Complaint does not, as Ammons and
Jordan claim, "refer to action taken by CISS/Deaflympics," That
Ammons' and Jordan's actions may have taken place at CISS/Deaflympics
events is not a basis, without more, of imputing liability to
CISS/Deaflympics;"
- "Turning to the counterclaims and motion for sanctions filed by
defendants Ammons and Jordan, the Court notes that there is a certain
insubstantial element to them as well. To support their "Malicious
Prosecution" claim, Ammons and Jordan reference the four previous
suits that Pinchas has filed against them and then assert that they
have "incurred attorney fees" and "suffered extreme mental and
emotional anquish as a result of Pinchas' "deliberate and malicious
actions." Ammons and Jordan ask for $1,000,000.00 in damages. Ammons
and Jordan have clearly failed, however, to state a claim for
malicious prosecution...Here, Ammons and Jordan have not pled the
requisite special damages to support a malicious prosecution claim;"
- "While Ammons and Jordan did file a motion for sanctions, Paper
Number 11, they did not do so under the procedures prescribed in Rule
11. Rule 11 states that a motion for sanctions shall first be served
on the opposing party and "shall not be filed with or presented to the
court unless, within 21 days after service of the motion...the
challenged paper, claim, or defense, contention, allegation, or denial
is not withdrawn or appropriately corrected." Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure, Rule 11 ( c) 1 ) ( A ). Ammons and Jordan indicate in
their certificate of service that they served the motion to Pinchas at
the same time as they filed their motion with the Court and thus, were
not in compliance with Rule 11. The motion for sanctions will be denied."
The Memorandum Decision, among the other things, also stated that
"this suit arises out of a highly contentious and long standing
dispute amongst the parties" and that "Defendants ( Ammons, Jordan and
Scoggins ) "have conspired to prevent him ( Pinchas ) from having any
active role in the international deaf sports community."
In the meantime, a legal battle between the CISS/Deaflympics Ombudsman
( Pinchas ) against two deaf sports anarchists ( Ammons and Jordan ),
Scoggins and USADSF continues.
Another and separate discrimination lawsuit involving Pinchas as a
plaintiff vs. the same four defendants is still pending before the
USA District Court for the District of South Dakota in Sioux Falls,
South Dakota.
