Although his paint- ings are professional quality, Ehret said he never stops practicing. “One man asked me how long I've been painting. Isaid I've been practicing for 30 years. You have to practice no matter what you do,” he said. And there is a market for his work. Ehret used to show and sell his paintings at many different craft shows. Now he only attends the Lehman Soccer Club Craft Show, which will be held Nov. 21. His landscapes painted onto the bottom of iron skillets and old saws seem to be his most popular items, and his international Santas also fly off the shelves, especially during this holiday sea- son. ; Using patterns from books, Ehret, who is also handy in car- pentry, makes wooden cutouts and paints intricate, detailed Santas from all over the world on them. One of his Santas from Norway is known as Juleimase.

In the kitchen there is a lovely four by three foot mural of a young woman stand- ing in front of a barn. Ehret painted the scene right on the kitchen wall. After the 1972 flood, a friend asked him to fix an old frame. He did so and then painted the black broken frame onto his wall. He also painted a very large winter scene onto his living room “and white photo that was in the POST PHOTO/KYLIE SHAFFERKOETTER | Sheldon Ehret paints on most any surface, indoors and out. wall. ‘He even painted a frame around it. “What does Mrs. Ehret think of all these paintings? She loves them. “He can do everything and he tries everything,” said Mrs. Ehret. “I like his work. Unfortu- nately, we don’t have room for all of his paintings. He should have a gallery,” she said. Ehret gets many requests for paintings, but manages to main- tain his fun as a hobby, not a job. “I've painted lots of things for people. But, I never keep track of time,” he said. Home birth (continued from page 1) downplay her role in the decision- making for a home birth. “My goal is to work with families to give them an option,” says Heller. “I tell people what their options are.” Heller cites several reasons why families choose home birth. Fi- nances are a problem for some. Others prefer birth at home for religious or medical issues. Oth- ers prefer the comforts of home. “Each person has a different rea- son for choosing this,” comments Heller. Heller is a Certified Midwife who has 18 years experience. She has worked extensively with Amish and Old Order Mennonite families, many of whom have 12 children or more and prefer to give birth at home. She speaks of her role in terms of a facilitator, someone who enables families to have the kind of birth that they themselves desire. “What I do is not about me,” she says. Heller has delivered over 300 babies, including several in the Wilkes-Barre area. David Madeira, a chiropractor wholivesat Harveys SER, ) 12 Bg, Ug Lake, and his wife Melanie enthu- siastically remember the home births of their three children, Hannah, D.J., and Michaela. In addition, Madeira'’s sister, Denise Warner, also used Heller for birth at home. : “We had a mindset to have our children at home,” says David Madeira. “It was really wonder- ful.” Madeira says there was no more anxiety with a home birth than with any birth, and that the experience ‘was emotionally re- warding. He does add, however, that “it's certainly not for every- one.” Susan and Brent Levin, of Tunkhangock, also chose home Traditions : Great selections | Byer's Choice * Aromatique Potpourri Gift Baskets ¢ Yankee Candles Collectibles ¢ Unique Gifts : Gift Certificates | Beautiful Home Furnishings. 201 Memorial Highway Dallas 675-6944 Visa/MC Layaway 11 -5:30 Mon. - Fri.

Michele be- gan labor on a Friday, but then stopped that night. Her labor re- sumed on Sunday. Heller waits until the mother feels as if she just has to push before saying push, reports Michele. When it was time, three pushes and he was out. “She lets your husband catch the baby,” says Michele. For Michele, the biggest plus was that the midwife does not interfere with the labor. Her water was not broken to hurry labor, nor was there any pressure to friend or relative. end ab of Home this Holiday.

In addition, although Garret stayed with his grandparents, it was easier for him to make the connection be- tween mom's belly and the new baby.
