Welcome to the Fall edition of The Bridgewater-Somerville Connection. This issue is full of NEW and returning advertisers, excellent editorial columns, dedicated sections, community news and much more! Our dedicated sections, this issue include: Back 2 School, featuring many local learning options and more, Dining Out, Health & Wellness, Home & Design, Shop Somerville, Spotlight on Seniors and of course the Community Calendar. Highlighted from our business/professional community this issue are: Camp Bow Wow, Learning Rx, Mirror Image Barber Shop, Brook Arts Center, Dutch Country Farmers Market, Lighting Genie and Comfort Keepers. Our talented writers have given us unique insight into these businesses and their respective owners. Talented cover artist, John C. Traynor, delights us with an oil on linen entitled, “Grazing By The Bay.” Originally from Chester and Mendham, NJ, John has made numerous painting expeditions to Ireland (over 35). This piece is from Dingle, Ireland. He states, “My first trip was at the age of 18 where I had a bike and cart filled with all of my painting materials. I biked all over Ireland, stop- ping to paint wherever inspiration called me. Ireland, being the birth place of my ancestors, has been the subject matter for hundreds of paint- ings.” Being outside to paint is what really inspires John; to not only see the landscape but breathe it in to help him remember time and place. Please read John’s impressive bio on page 8. Look for our FUN contest in this issue: SPOT THE FAKE! Somewhere in this issue is a fake ad. Find it and email us at Spotthefake@the connectionsnj.com. Please use the subject line: FAKE and include the answer, your name, town and phone number. The Winner will be chosen randomly from a list of those who entered the correct answer and will receive a prize from a local business. Good luck and have fun SPOTTING THE FAKE!
