Bridgewater-Somerville Edition
Welcome to the February 2017 edition of The Bridgewater- Somerville Connection. We ring in the new year with an out- standing issue filled with new and returning advertisers, great editorial content and dedicated sections making the magazine more focused and easier to read. This issue we are proud to present the following dedicated sections: Kid’z CONNECTion Section for those families looking to get a jump on camps and activities for the summer and spring ac- tivities as well, Home Sweet Home Section for ALL needs around the house, Dining Out Section fea- turing local eateries and food options, Health & Wellness Section brimming with wonderful solu- tions, tips and hints for everything health related, Spotlight on Seniors Section focused on our “se- nior” community, Shop Somerville Section high- lights local businesses there and the Community Calendar which gives our readers club meetings, li- brary programs and more! Also highlighted from our business/professional community are: Hi Hills Camps at Gill St. Bernard’s School, Bridgewater Overhead Doors, Kevin Yento-Coldwell Banker, Oasis Senior Advisiors, Family Foot & Ankle Specialists and NutriMost Weight Loss Center. Our talented writ- ers have given us unique insight into these busi- nesses and their respective owners. Local artist, Christine Cancelli, adorns our front cover with an oil on linen entitled, “Suspicion.” Christine has had a long and varied career involving art and her two favorite sports, racing and foxhunt- ing. Her paintings have evolved to reflect these pref- erences – horses and hounds. She states, “I got the idea for this painting after going to the Monmouth County Hunt kennels one morning to photograph the hounds being walked, which is how they exercise them on days when they’re not hunting or in the off season. It was the first time I had been there and the hounds were waiting to be let out of their pen. They howl when strangers arrive and this time was no ex- ception. Eventually they quieted down and some even wanted to greet me after their initial alarm and excitement had passed. However, when I got home and looked through my photos, I couldn’t help but laugh at the expression of that one lemon & white hound in the background. He was having none of it! I just had to paint his very obvious expression of SUS- PICION!” Please read Christine’s impressive bio on page 8. Look for our FUN contest in this issue: SPOT THE FAKE!
