Ever noâ€" tice how enthusiastic these busiâ€" ness owners are? s Take Eria Socha, for instance. Socha has been a professional educator for years, teaching from kindergarten to university level. The 41â€"yearâ€"old recently opened Gallery Indigena at 22 Dupont St. E. (corner of Regina St.). The gallery features ‘""the whole gamut‘ of Canadian native art, a subject which Socha has found fascinating for some time. As in many Canadian communities, the Kitâ€" chenerâ€"Waterioo area has its share of underâ€" privileged families. To Her interest began as a hobby 15 years ago when she bought her first Eskimo print by a Cape Dorset artist. Immediately inâ€" make this a brighter and happier Christmas for needy children, King Centre Mall, trigued by the art, Socha reâ€" searched and followed the proâ€" gress of the Inuit family. Then as a natural progression, she began to teach Canadian native art to classes of all ages. For two summers the Waterioo resident has operated Erla‘s of Stratford, a native art gallery located in the festival town. And Socha has been selling artwork out of her home by appointment. Socha‘s enthusiasm for native art is contagious as she highlights the items featured at Gallery Indigena. There are Eskimo sculpâ€" tures, ranging from major works to gift items, as well as limited edition original Eskimo prints, all signed by the artists. She sells limited edition Indian prints, created by artists such as Daphne Odjig of Manitoulin Island. Odjig is well known for her ‘"‘delightful series‘" of ten prints for children. To Secha, this artist is ‘"the mother of Indian artists,‘‘ since she helped so many fellow artists market their works. Socha also features Iroquois stone sculptures, "a new art form" which began to surface two to three years ago. In addition, Galâ€" lery Indigena has Northwest Coast Indian art, such as masks and silkscreen prints. In February, Socha plans to have an exhibit of western ceremonial items, includâ€" ing masks, headdresses, bowlis and rattles. Socha said she enjoys combining hobby. "I still look on a gallery as being a teaching gallery. People really want to learn.‘" So when visiting Gallery Indigena, customâ€" ers can look through biographical information about artists, as well as maps of native art communiâ€" ‘‘The hours one puts in to run a business ... No doubt about it, there are a million things to do. You have to love it. If it weren‘t a labor of love, you would just throw up your hands." . _ But operating both the Stratford summer outlet and the Waterioo yearâ€"round gallery is clearly a labor of love for Eria Socha. John J. (J.J.) Lindner is another happy hobbyist turned business owner. Lindner has been interestâ€" ed in photography since he was a teenager. Over the years he atâ€" tended photo seminars and workâ€" shops, and five years ago he began fullâ€"time work in a photography studio in Germany. The 45â€"yearâ€"old wanted to open Angel Tree big lift CHYM/CKGLâ€"FM in conjunction with Sailvaâ€" Westmount Place You are asked to select an ‘Ange!)‘ off the his own studio. ‘"We were thinking of opening one in Germany, but thought it‘s nicer to go to Canada and start it here," said Lindner‘s _ daughter Ute, who helps her dad . with English translation. So seven months ago the entire . Lindner family emigrated to Canâ€" ada, and last week Lindner opened his business. JJ Photo Studio is located in the Square 22 building in Uptown Waterioo. _ "For many people they have their work but it‘s only work," Ute commented. ‘"‘They go home and forget about it." But for her father, ‘"it‘s work and hobby. He really likes to do it!" . At JJ Photo Studio, Lindner offers a variety of photographic work, from portraits and child studies to weddings and fashion. The studio features a large room, ideal for taking group pictures, Ute said. Customers can expect fast serâ€" vice, she added, since all work is processed through local labs, not sent to Toronto. Or if someone wants immediate prints, the Waâ€" terloo studio offers a 15â€"minute service. Using Polaroid film in a German Linhoff camera, Lindner takes pictures and 15 minutes later hands the customer an 8 x 10 color print. According to Ute, the colors of the finished product ‘"don‘t look like Polaroid colors. When you see this print and a normal print, they‘re the same quality colors." Ute said this service will likely be quite popular during the holiday season. ‘"You can come in one day before Christmas and get an eightâ€" byâ€"ten print." . As an opening special from now until Christmas, the outlet will not be charging any sitting fee for studio work, said Ute. JJ Photo Studio specializes in laminated pictures, ensuring that each photo is protected against scratches and fingerprints. The store does canvas and cardboard mountings, sells a variety of frames, and offers passport picâ€" tures. s are featurâ€" The new business is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays, but "if you call us, you can have an appointment for the evening or Sundays." f Paul Kuraitis is a selfâ€"professed bibliophile who decided to start his own used book store. The Waterioo resident recently opened The Misâ€" cellany at 104 King St. S. in the city‘s core. _ The shop features used and old books, mainly in hardcover. Acâ€" cording to Kuraitis, he buys and sells good literature, travel, histoâ€" ry, Canadiana, children‘s books, ‘"etcetera, etcetera, but I‘m not dealing too much in pulp." He has a number of books which are out of, print, numerous first editions, volumes with attractive illustrations, some with unusual Kuraitis said one reason he decided to turn his hobby of book reading and collecting into a busiâ€" ness is: ‘‘That‘s the best way I can get the books I want." rare books. ‘"The response to the store so far has been pretty good," he said, and Kuraitis hopes to see The Miscellany‘s selections continue to , as well as a number of tree and register your name and phone numâ€" ber in the registry book.
