If it's time to replace your water heater, you might want to consider a tankless water heater. These kinds of water heaters last considerably longer, with some companies even offering a lifetime no-leak warranty and are also more energy efficient. Water heaters can break down for many reasons. Most commonly, sedi- ment deposits in the bottom of the tank or thermostat malfunctions are the cause of a water heater in need of repairs. These and other problems can result in the loss of hot water, excessively hot water or water damage. No one wants to flush a toilet only to have a person taking a shower to scream when the water temperature suddenly changes! It is best to leave water heater repairs to the professionals. Have a licensed plumber diagnose your water heater issues and help you decide what's best for your home. Remember that in Clinton Township all water heater replacements require a Permit and on-site inspection from the Township Construction office.

She has been photographing people for over 25 years. Bridgett works hard to create images that her clients will not just like, but truly love. She aims to give families the opportunity to attain images from their portrait session that capture beautiful memories for a lifetime. Bridgett offers a unique twist on the importance of the portrait in everyone's life. Bridgett's concern is that mothers, as documentors of their families, are seldom in front of the camera or in the images at all. As a result, her current focus and study is to "Exist In Pictures For Your Chil- dren." Bridgett invites women of all ages and backgrounds to celebrate their spirit and allow her to capture their life in portraiture as the beautiful women they are. With "The Ultimate Portrait Session," her team of stylists brings out the true beauty of each individual and works together to capture their unique style–resulting in professional images to share for generations to come. This is more than a portrait– it is an experience all woman should enjoy. A beautiful downtown Clinton studio serves as Bridgett's base of operations and creativity. Her commissions include executives, families, newborns, high school seniors–but this is just a portion of her business. She also photographs many events throughout the year. Event packages include the options of portraiture, photo booths, and fun and unique candids. Please contact Bridgett at: 908.759.0622 to book your portrait ses- sion, if you have questions or to find out more. You can also email her at: info@bridgettthompsonphotography.com.

We have the answer! So many people are suffering with foot and ankle pain. Often it is due to the fact that they are not wearing the proper shoes or don't have enough support in their shoes. The solution is to wear custom made arch supports called "Orthotics". There are many different kinds,shapes and sizes of orthotics, made to fit a va- riety of shoes and sneakers. Podiatrists can do impressions of your feet which are then sent to a Laboratory. These are usually covered by most insurances and cost around $500 per pair. They usually can last several years and are well worth the expense. But, the big problem is that they don't fit in sandals. Custom-made orthotic sandals are usually very expensive, sometimes costing more than the orthotics. This is why we have come up with a reasonable solution. We carry Dr. Comfort brand orthotic sandals. They are considered over-the-counter and dispensed directly out of our office and available to anyone. They come in traditional flip-flop and also an adjustable slide version, in a variety of colors, in whole sizes starting at size 5-10 for women and size 8-13 for men. All of them cost only $60 per pair. Everybody loves these, including teenage girls. Be comfortable and have a great summer without foot pain. If we don't have it in stock, we can easily order it and get it for you in a couple of weeks. Call us 908.236.6999.

The recipients are Catherine Lenahan, Michael Nenna, Mason Spichiger and Claire Zakszewski. They are all high school students who attended WFC programs in the Clinton Town- ship Schools. They will each receive a $2000 scholarship from The Work-Family Connection. WFC is proud to have served our community for 25 years. Here are some of the great reasons the students said WFC helped them to go to college. "Seeing how memorable WFC and the authority figures were in my life encour- ages me to choose a career in Occupational Therapy. I want to make relation- ships with people and watch them grow as individuals" – Catherine Lenahan "…the lessons I learned in the Work-Family Connection not only helped me to socially and academically progress as a child, but are also applicable to my future college life. I will carry these lessons with me to college and hopefully beyond…" – Claire Zakszewski "Everyone was so supportive at Work-Family and if I ever had a problem I knew someone would help me…We had a great sense of community within our little "family" and I know that tradition continued after I left… My experience with Work Family helped to set the base for my life and set ex- pectations of the kind of people I want to be around…" – Mason Spichiger "I loved my time with Work Family. It was a great experience that I won't forget. I met some wonderful people and they taught me some very impor- tant things in life. It really was like a family to me being there… The years of support are extremely important." – Michael Nenna
