We hope you keep this edition in your homes this spring as a resource for shopping, professional care, dining and more! Featured from the business/professional commu- nity this issue are: The Edge Center, Fleetwood Kitchens & Baths, Helios Solar Energy, Tick Tack- ler, LLC, Bridgewater Sports Arena and Senior Assistants. Our talented writers have given us unique insight into these businesses and their respec- tive owners. Please look for the page number of the articles in our Table of Contents. Local artist, Peter Ambush, adorns our front cover with a Mixed Media (pencil, watercolor and color pencil) painting entitled, “White Wolf.” His in- spiration for this piece came from a great photo- graph taken while Peter was visiting a Pennsylvania Zoo. He states, “I was looking for images for a series of paintings for an art show I was having in Camp Hill, Pa. I mostly work in very large, 30x40 inches most of the time, but this time I wanted to do a miniature. This piece measures 4x6.” Peter teaches locally and has a very interesting bio. Please read it 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 a t Spotthefake@theconnectionsnj.com.
