Tip from Bacon \ Wilson Small businesses owners are willing to do whatever it takes for their companies to succeed, and many choose to operate as sole proprietors or partnerships. Unfortunately, setting up shop this way can sometimes create more risk than reward. If a sole proprietor or partnership is sued, non-business assets – including homes, cars, and personal bank accounts – can be in jeopardy. To protect assets, business owners can consider forming a “limited liability” entity. Once formed, the business has a separate legal existence, and business assets may be safely separated from personal assets.

I began training with Fly LUGU in 2020 and have since accomplished all the things I once thought impossible; I earned the Private Pilot license, the Instrument Rating, and just last week I earned the Commercial Pilot license! Now, the Fly LUGU team is preparing me to become a Certified Flight Instructor. There’s really no flight school in the area quite like Fly LUGU- the instructors are top-notch, the planes are immaculate, and the Fly LUGU family couldn’t be more supportive.

LIFESTYLE LETTER

Summer is Here!

July 2022 PUBLISHER

Candice Berube | candice.berube@citylifestyle.com 413-519-6752 EDITOR

Happy Summer, Westfield & Southwick! The staff at Westfield CityLifestyle is thankful for warm weather, fun outings, and time with loved ones! We have a couple developments that we'd like to share. First and foremost, Northampton CityLifestyle is joining our CityLifestyle family, right down the #route10corridor. Our hope is to develop a meaningful connection between our communities and provide amazing, relevant content to the residents of Northampton, Easthampton and Southampton. Be sure to tell your local friends, and please let us know if there are any particular businesses or goings-on of which we should be aware. We are so excited! Secondly, we have a couple staff updates. Maureen Sullivan, with extensive media experience, is joining the team as Editor. Madeline LeBlanc has started her new business Socially Elite Media, and she will stay on as our social media manager. Kat Kattler, on staff as a photographer for years, continues that role and has added Account Management to her resume. And, Hannah Sarat rounds out the crew, staying on as photographerwextraordinaire. Please help me welcome and congratulate these women! And, lastly, what can you expect of our Summer Issue? We thought this month would be the perfect opportunity to demystify one of Westfield's staple employers, Mestek. Additionally, we want to introduce you to the team behind Western Mass Demolition, founded in 2013. Take a glimpse at the recent events in City Scene, and if you're looking for a Spa Day, search no further than Boutique MedSpa in Feeding Hills. If you want to upgrade your health & fitness journey, CrossFit Swarm fits the bill, and perhaps you'll be inspired by Rich Froning's story at Crossfit Mayhem in TN. As the summer heats up, perhaps pick up a new Love Mich cozy from Giftology or pop in to say hi to the folks at Mama Cakes. We continue to enjoy sharing all the positive stories of Westfield & Southwick. Our goal is to represent the diversity and uniqueness of our community. Don’t be shy! Send us an email and let us know what/who we've missed! Tag us on social at @westfield_northampton_cl, and you may find your content in our next issue!

local women business owners collaborate on new product launch

LOVE MICH CREATES EXCLUSI VE DESIGN FOR GIFTOLOGY

ARTICLE BY MAUREEN SULLIVAN | PHOTOGRAPHY BY KAT KATTLER

M UST SE E | SHOPPING

Tiffany Hannoush, owner of Giftology and Michelle Provencher, owner of Love Mich, have launched their second line of Love Mich products, designed exclusively for Giftology. “It’s important to us to bring more awareness to Westfield and the surrounding are. Love Mich is such a popular woman-owned brand, that it made perfect sense,” Tiffany said. The first time the longtime friends created an exclusive Love Mich design for Giftology, it sold out in hours.” The new collaboration features two new prints in turquoise, Giftology’s brand color. One design, said Tiffany, replicates the store’s wrapping paper. Although making fabric to match the Giftology gift wrap will probably continue, she said, future collaborations will feature exclusive new designs. Michelle added, “Tiffany has been a supporter of Love Mich for many years. We are both so delighted to finally be able to come together and offer Love Mich cozies in Giftology. Our newest collection includes prints that are exclusive to the Giftology brand and store. The designs

showcase the brand colors and design aesthetic with our signature Love Mich flair. The collection has done very well at Giftology, thus far and we’re excited to continue partnering together.” 99 Springfield Rd, Westfield giftology.com | (413) 200-7428

“I love being able to connect and collaborate with other women in business. The small business community is a tight one and it’s important to support each other any way we can. I am honored to work alongside such a well-known and respected store like Giftology” - Michelle Provencher

C rossfit Swarm Swarm Fitn ess & Nutrition CHANGING LIVES THROUGH FITNESS & NUTRITION

ARTICLE BY MEGAN BELIVEAU, BRIAN COOK + MARY COOK | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

H EA LT H Y LIF E ST Y LE | HE ALTH + W E LLNE S S

Reviews for Westfield’s CrossFit Swarm include the words inclusive, motivating, and knowledgeable. The phrase “life-changing” is not just a slogan for owners Brian and Mary Cook – it is their way of life. The couple shares a passion for motivating and inspiring people to improve their lives. They enjoy bringing love and energy into making members’ experiences at Swarm “the best hour of their day!” The Cook’s passion resonates throughout the gym. Brian says, “When you adopt an active lifestyle and eat right, your quality of life improves drastically. Swarm will help you do anything you want to do, like hike or play with your grandkids on the floor. No matter what level you are at, the first step to ‘Life-Changing Fitness & Nutrition’ is walking through our door.” Everyone has a busy schedule. Swarm’s classes are designed to provide a full strength and conditioning workout in one hour so you can get on with your day. Are you up early? Catch a class in the morning, shower, and then head to work. If mornings are not your thing, Swarm is open evenings and weekends. Swarm’s class schedule adapts to meet member needs; with Swarm, you CAN make fitness a priority. swarmfitnessandnutrition.com | (413) 729-3273

The original CrossFit Swarm was known as “B’s” Gym. Brian opened an 800 sq. ft. B’s Gym on Elm Street in 2009 and just months later, affiliated as CrossFit Swarm. In 2010, Swarm moved to Mainline Drive until relocating again to their current 5,000 sq. ft. location at 4 Coleman Ave in 2015. CUSTOMIZED WORKOUTS At Swarm, modified workouts support ANY fitness level. Mary states, “That’s our job and specialty. We want you to feel good while you are here and when you aren’t. We can accommodate any limitations. We support athletes through recovery from surgery, injuries, pregnancies, and postpartum.” Swarm offers two fitness programs: traditional CrossFit and BEx Training. BEx Training is their bootcamp-style program that focuses on metabolic conditioning and its fat burning effects; it runs alongside Swarm’s CrossFit group classes and includes warm up, strength, and conditioning components. All movements are scalable to YOU. We offer CrossFit KIDs training, too, for ages 5-12! CONTINUED > JULY 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM / W E ST F I E L D

FUN FACT: The gym is named Swarm because Brian’s nickname is Bee; it’s referred to as the “Hive.”

EXPERIENCE Swarm prides itself on having skilled and knowledgeable staff. With Brian’s 13 years experience, staff learn through coaching mentorships, CrossFit certification, and weekly coach development sessions. All coaches are CPR/AED Certified. COMMUNITY Swarm members are a friendly, encouraging, and like-minded group looking to improve overall health and fitness for themselves and for those they love most. Every person that comes through Swarm’s doors is part of an extended family; age, gender, and fitness level don’t matter. We are all on our own journey and here to support one another – inside and outside of the gym. #SwarmStrong NUTRITION Mary understands the journey. In 2000, she began the process of losing 200 pounds through eating nutritious foods, practicing portion control, and exercising. She has maintained her weight loss for the last eight years! Mary uses her life experiences to be truly relatable to her clients and their struggles. The gym’s Nutrition Coaching program provides individuals with a straightforward, science-based approach to nutrition and wellness. The program uses behavior modification strategies to create positive change without the stress of dieting. Coaches provide ongoing support, education, and accountability for each member along their journey.

MESTEK, INC. A 75-YEAR HISTORY OF ACQUISTION & INNOVATION

O UR TOWN | LOCAL SERVI CE S

While Mestek may not be a household name, one of the products they manufacture may heat your home or business. To learn more about Mestek, I reached out to Marketing Director Matt Kleszczynski. He told me that Mestek was founded as Sterling Radiator Company in 1946, by John Reed in a rented garage on Bartlett Street in Westfield. Sterling Radiator Company began manufacturing hydronic finned tube radiation. In 1954, it branched into its first new line of business — Sterling HVAC — established to manufacture gas-fired unit heaters for use in commercial and industrial buildings. Today, Sterling HVAC, a division of Mestek, Inc., consists of two product segments — gas-fired heating equipment and residential/commercial hydronic heating products. After experiencing success in the heating segment, John Reed began acquiring other HVAC-related businesses with the purchase in 1964 of Cooper-Weymouth-Peterson (CWP) — a manufacturer of coil-handling equipment.

Marketing Director, Matt Kleszczynsk

MESTEK, INC.

To better reflect the company’s expanded line of products, Sterling became Reed National Corporation in 1977. Five years later, Reed National purchased competitor Beacon Morris, a manufacturer of steam — and hot water heaters, convectors and Twin-Flo kick space heaters. In 1986, Reed National merged with bankrupt Mesta Machine Company, reorganized the company’s profitable divisions — engineering services and computer operation — and emerged from bankruptcy under the name Mestek, Inc. Mestek today is split into three categories: HVAC, Metal Forming Machinery, and Architectural Products (louvers/dampers, commercial glass skylights and ornamental metal fabrication — high-end municipal and private work). As a matter of fact, Mestek recently created the new, ornate fence at the White House. Although Mestek has branched out into some of the most modern, innovative products in the world, hydronic products are still its foundation. Mestek’s state-of-the-art boilers and water heaters — from design to sophisticated, yet simple control platforms — are all manufactured in Westfield. “Our goal is to continue to get equity out of the brands, vs homogenizing the products under one name. By having multiple brands, Mestek is able to give their wholesale partners some level of exclusivity by providing all these brands,” said Tim Markel, President of Mestek’s Distributor Products Group. According to Matt Kleszczynski, Mestek is still active in strategic acquisitions that provide entry into newer product segments or that bolster the company’s market share in existing segments. “Our most recent acquisitions are perfect examples of both entities. We acquired Slant-Fin baseboard radiation; a competitive brand well known in the residential baseboard segment, further strengthening our position as the number one fin-tube radiation manufacturer in North America. We also acquired Transom, a modern technology heat pump manufacturer based in Canada. This transaction allows us to facilitate our existing growth in heat pumps almost immediately. Heat Pump technologies (electrification) are taking off in North America as we transition to less fossil fuels and greener, environmentally friendly technologies.”

Along with esthetician Erin Roch, Michelle brings to the area a range of skincare services designed to bring out the very best in their clients.

this attention is evident from the moment you walk through the door. Michelle is a registered nurse with 18 years of skin health experience. In the early part of her training and career, she provided advanced skin care solutions for clients in high-paced urban communities, first in California’s Silicon Valley, and more recently, in Boston. These residencies on both the East and West coasts gave Michelle experience with leading-edge technologies and science-backed procedures. She has trained under world-renowned plastic surgeons and brings a level of expertise she’s excited to share with the local community. Personal attention is the hallmark of Boutique MedSpa. Whether your concerns are related to aging skin, acne, or you simply want to improve the quality of your complexion, the staff at Boutique MedSpa can make a difference. Michelle prioritizes delivery of the best care and services for each of her clients, provided in a personal, intimate manner. She designs a care plan for each client based on their individual concerns. Current services include noninvasive procedures such as Botox, injectable fillers, Sculptra, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, Skinpen, IPL, and photofractionals. As the industry continually evolves with new technologies and treatment options, the med spa personnel are committed to adding the best options to their list of services. Aesthetic offerings such as top-notch facials and peels are also a focus of the spa. Erin, a licensed esthetician, provides an array of facial services including medical grade VI peels and micro-needling. Both of these talented women take care to treat customers and their skin based on individual needs and goals.

I let the client make decisions that are most balanced for their time, their beauty dollars, and their belief system allowing their inner beauty to shine through.

Those seeking premium skin care receive a complimentary in-depth consultation, assessing concerns to create a customized care plan. Knowing exactly what each client wants allows the Boutique MedSpa team to offer tailored treatments; sometimes what is needed is as straightforward as a facial, while other clients engage in combination therapy for synergistic results. Michelle shares: “I let the client make decisions that are most balanced for their time, their beauty dollars, and their belief system allowing their inner beauty to shine through.” For more information or to book an appointment, call 413.295.8992 or email theboutiquemedspa@gmail.com

WESTERN MASS DEMOLITION MEETING YOUR DEMOLITION AND RECYCLING NEEDS ARTICLE BY MAUREEN SULLIVAN PHOTOGRAPHY BY HANNAH JOSEPHINE PHOTOGRAPHY

LOCA L LIM E LIGH T | LOCAL S E RVI CE S

When it has to go, Western Mass Demolition is the go-to business for building demolition. Founded by Dale Unsderfer, this multi-faceted company knocks down structures everywhere throughout the Western Massachusetts region. From huge corporations to residential homes, W.M.D.C. not only knocks down structures and moves large equipment, but they also remove asbestos as well as interior demolition for homes and businesses. They even demolish outdated swimming pools and provide dumpsters for homeowners who are doing clean outs and downsizing. Read ahead as Dale answers some of our questions about the company and what they do.

HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE DEMOLITION BUSINESS? It all started when I was in High School at Westfield Vocational. One day during class, as I looked out the window, a local demolition company was wrecking a structure across the street. It's like something sparked inside of me, and from that moment on, I knew that was what I wanted to do. However, it wasn't until I was 22 that I stepped into the demolition world. I worked and gained experience for four years with other companies before starting my own business in 2013.

JULY 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM / W E ST F I E L D

WHAT IS THE LARGEST STRUCTURE YOU’VE DEMOLISHED? The tallest structure, at five stories high, was the old W.H. Miner Chocolate Factory (aka: Handy Chocolate Company) at 1616 Berkshire Ave in Springfield. The largest structure in terms of square footage was the 120,000 square-foot Columbia Gas of Massachusetts building at 2025 Roosevelt Ave. in Springfield.

WHAT ARE THE TOP REASONS FOR DEMOLISHING A BUILDING? Abandoned and/or condemned, fire, or making way for new construction.

ARE THERE BUILDINGS YOU EVER FEEL BADLY ABOUT HAVING TO DEMOLISH? Yes, churches and historic landmarks.

WHAT TYPE OF EQUIPMENT IS USED IN DEMOLITIONS? Every job is different and requires different equipment. Some of our most used equipment, believe it or not, is a push broom and good old-fashioned hard work. Our biggest piece of equipment is our "Volvo 380 High Reach Excavator,” standing at 80 feet high.

HOW DO YOU DETERMINE WHAT ELEMENTS OF A BUILDING CAN BE REUSED, RECYCLED, OR SALVAGED? We call on our business partners that specialize in the work at hand and have them come in and assess the building prior to demolition. Mass Obtain is our sister business. We partner with Nick Burns who runs a 10,000 square-foot warehouse in Palmer, where you can find our antique and vintage finds, including the most sought-after items - vintage hardware, doors, and corbels. mobsalvage.com

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE QUOTE THAT REFLECTS YOUR PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE AND/OR WORK? "In God We Trust." This quote is our anchor. We place this quote on all our trucks and equipment to remind us to stay trusting in God even when times are tough. It has helped us to keep peace and make bold moves in business and in life that have always paid off.

MAYHEM ATHLETE

Online Bodyweight and Minimal Equipment Workouts

Sweaty and challenging workouts done in 30 minutes or less at home

ARTICLE BY KELSEY HARRIS AND JEN FRUDAKER

G E T ACT IV E | HEA LTH + W E LLNE S S

Bags are packed, reservations are made, and the Out of Office automatic reply is letting everyone know you have officially entered vacation mode. There’s one thing that’s lingering: how to go on vacation without pressing pause on the fitness progress you’ve made, or avoid commuting to a gym and paying drop-in fees. Mayhem Athlete provides online programming that guarantees challenging workouts which can be done in 30 minutes or less. These quick but effective workouts incorporate compound movements such as burpees, push ups and lunges. Compound movements use more than one muscle group, requiring more energy from your muscles to recover. This means you can continue to burn calories while enjoying the beach or sitting at work, long after the workout is over. The Mayhem Athlete M30 program offers two options for all fitness levels. Mayhem Bodyweight, a 30-minute format that requires no equipment, and Mayhem Minimal, a 30-minute format which only requires a couple dumbbells. Mayhem Athletes’ easy to use app, SugarWOD, provides you with a warm up, workout, accessory cool-down, and coaching video - ensuring you get the most out of your 30 minutes! You can also find video demonstrations for each movement within the app and a community of like-minded individuals who are doing the same workouts around the globe.
