Signers travel to Canada,
take tour of school for deaf
By Kelly Patterson
NW Campus News Editor
Last month 37 NW Campus
students became the first group of
Americans to visit the Royal
Academy for the Deaf in Vancouver,
Canada, Mike Cinatl, IDP
coordinator, said.
Interpreting for the deaf
program (IDP) students spent their
spring vacation visiting the school
and seeing the sights of Canada.
Erected in the 1800s, the
school’s number one goal is to cater
to the students, Cinatl said.
“Everything the school does is
for the children. Not for the state, not
for the administrators but all for the
children,” Judith Ashley, IDP student,
said.
“It was great to see the teachers
interacting with the students and
getting down on the floor to work
with them instead of merely standing
in the front of the room telling them
what to do,” Raymona Toombs, IDP
student, said.
Students from kindergarten
through twelfth grade not only attend
classes on the campus but live in
dormitories.
“The dorms were similar to
those of a college’s,” Debi Parent,
IDP student, said. “Students had the
say so in how their rooms were to be
decorated. It was really interesting to
see they were hanging pictures of the
same stars and teen idols we have in
America.”
“Senior students had to prepare
their own meals and in the future they
are looking toward allowing the
seniors to live in apartments adjacent
to the school to prepare them for life
on their own,” Parent said.
‘ Whereas deaf children in Texas
schools are able to attend some classes
for the hearing, state schools do not
allow the hearing students to become
involved in special activities within
the deaf schools, Cinatl said; In
Canada it is different.
“The Royal Academy for the
Deaf was centered around
socialization between hearing and
deaf children,” Cinatl, said. “The
school allowed the deaf children to
invite their hearing friends to swim or
attend the many dances and other
social activities they provided.”
Students also were impressed
by the way the school tried to keep
the family unit.
“Each week representatives
from the staff call the children’s
family to update them on the student’s
progress. The school also counsels
the family about the children and
pays for them to fly home on the
weekend,” Linda Dilmore, IDP
student, said.
All services for the students are
provided by the government including
living expenses, tuition and medical
treatment.
After a day visiting the school,
IDP students spent the rest of the
week shopping and sightseeing.
“The people of Canada were
very nice to us. We were there during
Easter which was holiday, and they
arranged a special tour of Parliament
for us even though it closed,’’Nannette
Castillo, IDP student said.
“The country was beautiful. We
were offered applications to work for
the school and to tell you the truth, it
is tempting,” Toombs said.
Mr.TCTC title still up for grabs
Contest open to men on all campuses
Competition for the second annual Mr. TCJC
contest has been opened to students from all three
campuses, Don Williams, NW Campus student activities
director, announced last week.
The contest, held in the past for NW Campus
students only, is Wednesday, April 26, at noon on NW
Campus.
“The Miss TCJC pageant is open for all campuses;
so it is only fitting to make Mr. TCJC open,” Williams
said.
All contestants are required to compete in semi-
formal wear (slacks, jacket and tie), sports wear, bathing
suit and question-and-answer sessions.
Entrants of the Miss TCJC pageant will serve as
judges.
Everyone who attends the contest will receive free
hot dogs and cokes, Susan Fraustro, contest coordinator,
said.
“It is strictly a beauty contest. The guys are good
looking and enjoy themselves as well,” Fraustro said.
Sign up sheets for contestants are in all campus
student activities offices. -- KELLY PATTERSON
