US Deaf Championships Orienteering
Fair Hill in Maryland, November 12th - 13th2005

News from USA!   First time deaf championships orienteering arrange their own deaf competition. Billy Allaband writes:
We had blast times at Fair Hill in Maryland, USA for US O-Long Championship.  They already had over 350 orienteers. 5 of them are just deaf orienteers. 
You can look at the website under
http://www.dvoa.org/sites/ameet/index.php. It's good start for deaf group. Saturday (Nov 12) Missy Kaler got 2nd place and Patti got 3rd place in women catalog.  In men, unfortunately we were not in top 3 in any courses. We had good times. Next event will be in Florida on Feb 24-26. Hope we get more and more in the future. I think about starting to play in red courses next year.

ORIENTEERING AT DEAF SCHOOL IN FLORIDA

Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind is situated in the city St. Augustine.
Simona from Denmark and Calle from Sweden visited at the school and told about Deaflympics Orienteering in Melbourne.
Mike Stultz as responsible, assisted by Artur Intson from Latvia, organized this event. The pupils got information/lessons about orienteering
and practiced running in the area by the school. And the interess was wery positive.
Now the aim is to participate in World Championships and Deaflympics. Thatīs what they have to work on from now...
