Deaf community holding craft show Saturday in Elm Mott<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Cody Winchester Tribune-Herald staff writer<\/p>\n

Friday, December 11, 2009<\/p>\n

The Central Texas deaf community will hold a craft and business show
\nSaturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Midway Auto Auction in Elm Mott,
\n15735 Interstate 35.<\/p>\n

Organizers of the I Love You Deaf Craft and Business Show say the event is
\nan opportunity for the wider community to see the art and entrepreneurial
\nspirit of a unique, vibrant subculture.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope the hearing people will come out,\u201d Barbara Jatzlau-Ainsworth said
\nthrough an interpreter.<\/p>\n

Jatzlau-Ainsworth, of Groesbeck, is coordinating the show. She said 18
\nbooths have been filled, but she hopes to have 30 by Saturday. The sign for
\n\u201cI love you,\u201d made by extending the thumb, forefinger and pinky, figures
\nprominently in deaf culture \u2014 hence the event\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

Those who attend the craft show can expect to find woodwork, lathework,
\nceramics, jewelry, sewing and other items, Jatzlau- Ainsworth said. Besides
\nsupporting artists and business leaders in the local deaf community,
\nattendees also can brush up on their signing skills. Interpreters will be on
\nhand.<\/p>\n

One of them is Ashlie Senior, who also will be at the McLennan Community
\nCollege booth.<\/p>\n

She is representing a group of students and interpreters who are selling
\nraffle tickets and bake sale items to raise money for Jan Ghoring, a local
\ninterpreter experiencing her third bout with cancer. The money will go
\ntoward sending her to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Senior said.<\/p>\n

Ghoring\u2019s case demonstrates how tight-knit the Central Texas deaf community
\nis, said Darlene Nobles, director of Sign of the Times, an interpreting
\nagency in Waco.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like a family,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Larry Umberger, a certified nutritionist who has worked for a decade in
\nBaylor University\u2019s sign language lab, will have a booth representing the
\nBusiness Committee and Expo of the Deaf, which promotes entrepreneurship in
\nthe deaf community. Umberger\u2019s 13-year-old daughter, Sophia, will sell
\ncrafts there.<\/p>\n

Umberger noted two misconceptions many hearing people may have about the
\ndeaf community. One is that American Sign Language is simply a gestural form
\nof English, when in fact it is a separate language with its own rich
\ntradition of jokes, symbolism and storytelling techniques, Umberger said.<\/p>\n

The other is that deafness is debilitating. In response to this, he quotes
\nI. King Jordan, a prominent advocate for the deaf community: \u201cDeaf people
\ncan do anything but hear.\u201d<\/p>\n
