Not only will we have beautiful flowers soon, but it might also cause more symptoms for spring allergy sufferers. Rain can promote plant and pollen growth.

Wind accompanying a rainfall can stir pollen and mold into the air, also heightening symptoms.

Pollen is fine and it can be carried for great distances through the air current. It also is easily inhaled as it comes in contact with your nose, mouth and nasal passages. Taking your allergy medication should be done well before the first sneeze. We recommend you begin treating two weeks before your symptoms typically surface. There isn't a cure for spring allergies, but there is something close.

Immunotherapy, also known as allergy shots, can modify and prevent disease progression.

LOCAL TEAM LAUNCHES FIRST-EVER FEMALE MASCOT

FROM AN EARLY AGE, STELLA STARFIRE KNEW SHE WANTED TO FLY HIGHER AND FASTER THAN ANYONE HAD EVER FLOWN. Her greatgreat grandmother was a founding member of the 99s, Amelia Earharts’ all-female pilot organization, and flying had always been part of her family legacy. As the first-ever female mascot in baseball, Stella has been commissioned to inspire and empower other young women to join in her mission to “fly higher and faster than anyone has ever flown.”

When co-founders Don Moorhouse and Chris Thompson launched summer

engagement a priority. “We knew we had to capture the imagination of local baseball fans, but also the community at large,” said Moorhouse. “With each step, we’d ask if we were leaving anyone out of the process.” His business partner, Chris Thompson, had the answer. “I started thinking about my four-year-old daughter,” he said. “How does she relate to what we are doing? Sports in general is a male dominated business. Who are the role models for her?”

From inception, the Westfield Starfires, owned by two men with extensive sport marketing backgrounds, relied heavily on female influences to introduce their brand. Chikmedia was hired to handle the official launch of the team in February of 2019, a sold-out event at the Shortstop Bar and Grill.

“We talked to a lot of PR and promotions companies,” said Thompson. “We hired Chikmedia because they understood our vision.” Moorhouse believes the company’s influence greatly impacted the exposure at a critical stage.

“Meghan Rothschild and her team refined our ideas and turned them into practical objectives that enabled us to present The Starfires in a truly professional way,” he said. “Because of them, we had a major league launch that really helped carry us through Year One.” Much of the offseason has been devoted to the introduction of Stella Starfire.

Ashley N a v a r ro Ashley Navarro is from Ludlow, MA. She is currently enrolled in the Nursing Program at Holyoke Community College and has an extensive background working in film and television. She was an award-winning cheerleader at Ludlow High School and served as Team Captain her senior year. Along with her work with The Starfires, Ashley is a preschool assistant at the Ludlow Boys and Girls Club.

and pitching in, as an organization, where we can,” said Moorhouse. “We are optimistic that there will be a season. Baseball is such an important part of Westfield’s history, and we are honored to be part of that legacy.”

The partnership, developed over a decade of friendship and solidified over a beer at The Hangar in Westfield, has resolved to honor this iconic baseball town by paying homage to its veterans with the Starfire brand (an F94 Fighter once stationed at Barnes), engaging its ballplayers with partnerships with Babe Ruth and Little League, and empowering its youth with Stella. With a 15-year lease at historic Bullens Field, and an army of local baseball players to augment a roster of the best college players from across the country, the Starfires have set themselves up for the long haul.

They are also preparing for a scenario without a season. “We will be active on social media and developing ways to support our corporate partners,” said Thompson. “We will have some very dynamic content available on our site at westfieldstarfires.com, and unique opportunities for fans to be part of exclusive experiences with the Starfires.”

While baseball has been temporarily put on hold as we deal with the impact of Covid 19, the business of baseball goes on, and the Starfires are gearing up for sunny days at Bullens with top-notch collegiate ball, fans in the Beer Garden, and fireworks out in centerfield.

S t a r f i re I PA Starfire IPA is joint-venture between Amherst Brewing Company and the Westfield Starfires. The IPA is brewed with wheat and oats, and hopped with El Dorado, Amarillo and Citra. It is sold exclusively at Hangar locations and at Bullens Field during Starfires games.

In the summer of 2019, it was the top-selling beverage at the ballpark.

E O N W M LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS SHARE THEIR SUCCESS

LISA BUSH NEW ENGLAND CUSTOM COUNTERTOPS AND KITCHENS

WHAT IS ONE LEADERSHIP LESSON YOU’VE LEARNED IN YOUR CAREER? Communication with organization! Always be in contact with your customers to make sure they know every step, as to what will be happening with their project. Also timing is everything! When you schedule a time for something to be done - be there as planned. Obviously, events may arise, and sometimes things happen beyond our control. But communicating with the client is key!

WHAT ARE SOME TRAITS YOU THINK GREAT LEADERS POSSESS? Understanding your customers and employees. Without them, there is no business. Treat everyone how you would want to be treated if you were on the other end.

TO WHAT VALUES ARE YOU COMMITTED? I am committed to have my customer leave the showroom with a great experience and an excited feeling of working with NECC. I am committed to making sure my customer is confident in what they have learned about the products I offer. I am committed to making sure all of their questions and concerns are answered before they make their purchase.

HOW DO YOU BALANCE WORK AND LIFE RESPONSIBILITIES? It’s not always easy! I have to admit, though, that it has become easier. Now that I have teenage children, I have more time to be at the office. Most moms, if not all, can vouch that there’s just not enough time in the day to tackle everything. But, you do your best and it all works out! Lucky for me, I do have high energy which keeps me motivated and dedicated.

WHAT IS YOUR WHY? Really there is no why. Just Why Not? HOW DID YOU GET YOUR IDEA OR CONCEPT FOR THE BUSINESS? At a very young age, I had a passion for creativity, and when I was in high school I was able to express that in Cosmetology school. As I advanced my learning in college, I took business classes which enabled me to envision myself as a business owner in the community. I knew I had the skills and knowledge to take a leap of faith, to solely open up my own salon in Westfield, at the young age of 23.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS? I have to say the staff and gratitude we all have for everyone that walks through our doors. The second you walk in, if someone is at the desk, you will get greeted with a great smile. Staying unique and educated in today’s latest styles and techniques allows us to give our guests the best service.

WHAT ARE A FEW PIECES OF ADVICE YOU CAN SHARE? Never give up and always be willing to learn! We are never too old to learn, and we can always be better than we are today. Networking is a great way to help run a successful business.

TO WHAT DO YOU ATTRIBUTE YOUR SUCCESS? I attribute my success to hard work, hard work, and more hard work! When you love what you do, the hard work comes easier than you expect. I make sure to be present and interact with all students, parents, and staff that come into my studio - whether it’s part of our recreational or our competitive families. I love the personal connection and kindness we foster throughout the studio. Kindness makes everyone feel good! When you are happy, you are successful!

WHAT IS YOUR WHY? I love everything about dance! The way it makes me feel is indescribable. I love being able to express myself without saying a word. Dance is my world, and there was never anything else I ever wanted to do. . .well, except become a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader!

K AREN KOPESKI UNION CROSSING REALTY WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS? We are a small niche company of professional realtors that demonstrate the highest level of customer service, while making lifelong relationships, through every transaction.

WHAT’S ONE LEADERSHIP LESSON YOU’VE LEARNED IN YOUR CAREER? One important leadership lesson I have learned was to be a good listener and to lead by example.

WHAT ARE SOME TRAITS YOU THINK GREAT LEADERS POSSESS? I think some important traits of a great leader is to be genuine, authentic, and transparent. Also, it is important to be direct and to always be open to others’ ideas and suggestions.

TO WHAT VALUES ARE YOU COMMITTED? Honesty - Integrity - Trust.

These are the most important values in our company.

The vision to create the best customer experience for YOU. The ambition to accomplish YOUR goals in a negotiation. The trust to reliably execute a positive, seamless, and transparent transaction for YOU. THINK BACK TO FIVE YEARS AGO. DID YOU ENVISION YOUR CAREER AS IT IS TODAY? When I look back five years ago, I would have never dreamed I would have a successful real estate company with 6 amazing realtors, a billboard on Route 20, and a feature in a magazine. My message to women is to never give up on your dreams! Step out of your comfort zone, and go for what you want - that is where you will see the most growth!

SOFIA ZANZARELLA, M . S . , P.T. , A R T, C E O , M P RESULTS IN WELLNESS

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE YOU HAVE FACED SO FAR? COVID 19 has been the biggest challenge, to date. It has impacted all business owners and, the decisions I made on a day-to-day basis, affected the foreseeable future of all my employees. The viability of my small physical therapy business and now, Results In Wellness, LLC, a company with the vision to inspire people to believe that they can thrive, has been halted. In the midst of the stress, it was a text from an employee that gave me the energy and confidence that I needed to carry on, and be the leader my employees see every day.

WHAT IS YOUR WHY AND WHAT IS YOUR COMPANY ABOUT? As a physical therapist I have always wanted to make a difference in the lives of my patients. I have done this since 2004, with Rehab Resolutions, Inc. My company has grown from a small office of 2 employees, in a sublet space, to 3 separate locations in three cities with over 18 employees. Over 70% of our growth and new business comes from word of mouth referrals, from patients who appreciate our unique team and hands-on approach to getting results.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO SOMEONE THINKING OF STARTING THEIR OWN BUSINESS. Are you thinking of doing the crazy thing of leaving your secure income, with regular hours and managed risks, and jumping into the entrepreneurial life, where the skyis-the-limit, the hours are endless, your risk is high and your sights are set on freedom? Go for it! It is worth it. Be sure to hang on to your true self, for you will be tested, the road will twist and turn, and your quality of life will often be questionable. However, with the right mindset, goal setting, self regulation, networking and mentors, you will do what you were born to do. You will move mountains!

JILLIAN KNAPP ROSEWOOD HOME & GIFTS AS A FEMALE LEADER, WHAT HAS BEEN THE MOST SIGNIFICANT BARRIER IN YOUR CAREER? I haven’t exactly noticed obstacles because I’m a woman. The gift and boutique industry is a women’s world. I had barriers in the beginning because of my age. At the time, it was so discouraging. I didn’t let it get me down too much, though. I embraced the attitude of just watch me! I will succeed!

HOW DO YOU BALANCE WORK AND LIFE RESPONSIBILITIES? Honestly, this is something with which I struggle! As most know, I work in the Department of Anesthesia at Baystate. Between keeping up with my per diem status at the hospital, running the shop, and trying to run a household - it can be challenging. I’m so lucky to have a huge support system, and my fiancé David is so good about picking up the slack. Work/life balance was on my 2020 resolution list, and I do plan to eventually get to a yoga class! It’s May? I still have 6 months to get there!

THINK BACK TO FIVE YEARS AGO. DID YOU ENVISION YOUR CAREER AS IT IS TODAY? 5 years ago, I was turning 22 years old!

My goodness,I never thought I’d be sitting here, talking to a local magazine, regarding successful Women in Business! I sometimes catch myself, when I’m being hard on myself, and I just have to remember - I’ve accomplished so much in such a short amount of time!

IF YOU HAD ONE PIECE OF ADVICE TO SOMEONE JUST STARTING OUT, WHAT WOULD IT BE? GO FOR IT! You can’t let fear hold you back. I never wanted to have that “what if” feeling. If you try and you don’t succeed, you will have, at least, tried. Lean on the people around you, use your resources, stay positive, upbeat and enthusiastic! Excitement breeds excitement. Remember that. If you have that type of mindset, you will succeed.

decided to open a shop to support my family and to bring a smile to others. I have 6 children and 1 grandson. Everyone works at the shop somehow! Darren and Charlie are official greeters. Steven, Emily, and Sarah worked at the shop until moving on to their own passions. Abigail is my right-hand girl and sometimes my left! She works full-time, managing everything when I’m not there. Papa Charlie works a couple evenings, doing dishes and closing up. My parents have also been a great source of support!

All of our cupcakes are baked fresh from scratch, using the finest ingredients. Our display case is filled daily, with a large variety of cupcakes, ranging from whimsical to elegant. Along with delicious cupcakes, we also have custom cakes, shower cakes, birthday cakes, special event cakes, cupcake towers, cake pops, and Gran-Val Scoop ice cream during the summer. Stop in for our 15 daily regular flavors, including Vanilla dream, cookie dough, cookies n cream, chocolate indulgence, chocolate peanut butter dream, Boston cream, and lemon dream. Adult fan favorites are our cocktail inspired cupcakes that include the Paddy and the Margarita.

We offer gluten free, egg free, and/or dairy free cupcakes with 24 hours notice. We always have 1 vegan flavor daily. Every first Wednesday, we introduce the wacky flavor of the month - our flavor list is always growing! So, whether you’re in the mood for something traditional or something different, Mama Cakes carries what your taste buds want!

We contribute cupcakes to the police, fire dept, hospital, nursing home, charities and local businesses.

Donated cold weather gear are put out during the winter. And, we provide ice water during the summer.

Our motto is: cupcakes make everything better and we really focus on making sure that’s a fact!

5 WAYS TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS ARTICLE DANIELLE BARTON

THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY

01

LIKE, COMMENT AND SHARE POSTS If you don’t own your own business, it might be hard to under-

stand why this is so important. In one word, algorithms! It means that posts that don’t get a good response, don’t get shown to as many

"WHEN YOU BUY FROM A LOCAL BUSINESS, YOU ARE NOT HELPING A CEO BUY A THIRD VACATION HOME. You are helping a little girl

people. In the world of social media marketing, it’s incredibly important to get your posts seen online. Support local business by commenting, liking, and loving on posts and sharing them as soon as you see them!

get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a mom put food on the table, a dad pay a mortgage or a student pay for college." unknown

02

BE THEIR CUSTOMER, OR AT LEAST THEIR CHEERLEADER. Of course, one obvious way to support local business is to actually be their customer. Naturally, if you aren’t their target market,

or their product is of no use to you, no one expects you to buy it. But, if they’re selling a product or service you use anyway, consider giving them a chance! If they aren’t offering something you’re interested in at all, having an extra cheerleader is always appreciated!

03

LEAVE A REVIEW

04

REFERRALS

Just make it a habit to leave reviews! All businesses thrive on

them! This is one of the best ways to help local businesses.

Show your support through word of mouth. Talking about a local busi-

ness, and recommending them to friends and family, will help them get new customers and hopefully get more people to spread the word.

05

SIGN UP FOR THEIR NEWSLETTERS Newsletters are a great way to stay up-to-date with business

news, new products and information on products or services. Help local businesses grow their email list by signing up and sharing the link to encourage others to do so, too.
