Grange
Recognizes Deaf
CLARION The Deaf Activities’ Sign-A-
Song contest had special meaning this year for
Jennifer McCullon.
McCullon of Venango County said she dedi
cated her performance of “For All The World” to
a Mend who recently was killed in an automobile
accident.
McCullon won first place in the Sign-A-Song
competition on the opening night of the 121st
Pennsylvania State Grange convention here.
Also held was the Youth Department’s Public
Speaking contest with winners selected in three
age groups.
The Sign-A-Song competition is held as part
of the State Grange’s Deaf Activities program
and is a forum to demonstrate the ability to utilize
sign language to songs.
“I dedicated this performance in remembrance
of Mike because he was going to propose to his
girlfriend and he truly wanted everything in (he
world,” McCullon said. “I also like to sign and
participate in this event because it gets you in
touch with another culture and gives you a better
understanding of what the deaf go through.”
In the Public Speaking competition, Kirk Sat
tazahn of Berks County took first-place honors
with a speech titled ‘Tomorrow’s Yesterdays.”
Sattazahn discussed those who made discoveries
that changed our lives - even when they were told
they would never succeed.
“There was a man who drew cartoons and tried
to sell them to everyone, but no one would buy
them,” Sattazahn told die audience of approxi
mately 600 people. “That man was Walt Disitfcy
and I can’t imagine the world without his work.”
The Public Speaking contestants were judged
on the content of the text, composition, voice
qualities, stage presence, expressiveness, gener
al effectiveness, time and their answer to an
impromptu question.
