Deaf Children Share Christmas Wishes With Signing Santa at Dearborn Mall (VIDEO)

One of Christmas' greatest traditions was spread to deaf and hard-of-hearing children in Michigan this month at Dearborn's Fairlane Town Center.

Dozens of students came from the Ralph J. Bunche Academy in Detroit and the Michigan School for the Deaf in Flint on Dec. 6 to meet with a "signing Santa," as well as sing carols with Detroit area deaf hip-hop artist Sean Forbes.

Other children and families were able to meet with the signing Santa the rest of the day.

The Ice Palace at Fairlane Town Center will be open to families through Dec. 24.

Hasn't even worked one day? Not one day in 15 years? Really? Not even credit for one day? When I…Read More worked at the Press & Guide (which eliminated my position in a budget restructuring that has continued under various corporate owners at the P&G for a decade and a half, resulting in them moving their offices to Southgate and more recently just out-and-out eliminating their editor, sports editor and photographer) we had a policy of no anonymous letters to the editor. This was done because, while everyone has the right to express their opinion, putting a real name with an opinion meant people displayed more decorum and, well, less cowardice than is allowed in online comments from the shadows. Joseph, the benefit of post-employment health care after just eight years of service may have, in the early 1990s, been more acceptable in some way I can't figure (retention of key department heads has been cited as a reason, as was that it apparently mirrored a benefit for state officials), but it clearly was part of the excesses of Wayne County that was unjustifiable and unsustainable in the 2000s. This practice was ended two years ago by a resolution I introduced.
