Happy Summer to all of our

pleased to be publishing a
great June edition of The
Bernards-Ridge Connection
filled with many new advertisers and captivating
editorial columns. Our special sections this issue
are: Tie The Knot, Health & Wellness, “Spot-
light” on Seniors, Dining Out and Home
Sweet Home; focused to make the magazine
easier to read. We hope you keep it in your
home all summer as a source for all your local
needs.
In addition, highlighted from our business/
professional community are: Ballet Forte,
Annie’s Cosmetics, Atlantic Neurosurgical
Specialists, Choice Care, Vein Institute of
New Jersey, Pupcakes & Pawstries Barkery
& Shoppe, Hibachi Grill, King Tut Restau-
rant, Blue Haven Pools & Spas, MTP Plumb-
ing & Heating LLC, Pines and Needles,
Sahara Pools and European Wax Center. Our
talented writers have given us unique insight
into these businesses and their respective own-
ers. Our other editorial columns include Health
Hotline, Medical Minutes, Home Improve-
ment Columns, Lawyer’s View, Garden Path
and much more. Please also read a very
poignant Community News story entitled “Set
Her Free.” This important article, written by
one of our “Connection” writers gives a first
hand account of this wonderful organization
whose mission is to raise money which helps to
educate girls living in impoverished countries.
Cover artist, Mary Ann Viola, adorns the
front of this magazine with an oil painting enti-
tled “Rough Surf.” Mary Ann loves to go to the
beach and people-watch, especially the chil-
dren. With memories of her own children’s
summer fun, she now loves to take her grand-
children. “It is fascinating to watch them use
their imagination in the sand and water, creat-
ing sand castles and enjoying the ocean and
sunshine,” she states. Mary Ann had her annual
exhibit at the Seabrite Library in 2012 and was
fortunate to be able to take it down only days
before Hurricane Sandy destroyed the Library.
The Shore Before We Knew It collection can
be viewed at Studio 7 Fine Art Gallery in
Bernardsville all summer.
