he U.S. government has some rather sobering figures on survival rates of new businesses.

Of the 569,419 businesses that opened during the 12-month period that ended in March 1994, only 89,876 of them were still around in March of this year, according to the Bureau of Labor

Statistics.

A business has to evolve to survive, according to David Singer, who is co-president of Robison energy company in Port Chester with his brother Dan. “You need to change.

That’s the secret to staying in business as long as we have,” Singer said of the energy provider that is marking its 100th anniversary.

ocal real estate collective AGW SoNo Partners is hoping to make a large section of the Washington Street Historical District the gift that keeps on giving.

AGW, which acquired a 27-property portfolio from F.D. Rich Co. last December for about $11 million, recently created a market-

ing arm, OnWashington, for the district. That initiative includes a website, social media platforms and an agenda that the company’s principal said is designed to build it into one of Norwalk’s major neighborhoods.

“Obviously we want to fill vacant spaces,” Adam Greenbaum told the Business Journal. “But we’re going about it differently. The portfolio consists of contiguous ground-floor retail on both sides of the street, so we’re looking to harmonize businesses so that they complement each other. When we start talking with prospective tenants, we take into account how important the small businesses that are already there are,

and whether they would be competing with each other.”

The plan was always to “build a community by bringing a brand-new perspective and a newfound energy,” Greenbaum said.

“We have an open dialog with all of our tenants, who understand their businesses and what it takes for them to be successful.

“Everything else falls into place if you do that,” he said. “Real estate is only as strong as the tenants who rent it.”

Gotta dance!

Nanuet’s Coupé Theatre Studio stays on its toes despite pandemic

his year marked the 50th anniversary of Coupé Theatre Studio, the Nanuet-based dance school.

Needless to say, this year has been very different from the 49 years that came before.

“We had to close in March and then we went to online learning for the rest of the school year,” said Alison Frankel, associate artistic director, who credited the studio’s teachers with quickly adapting their lessons to a digital platform.

“We have great teachers who’ve embraced it, but it was definitely a learning curve — it’s difficult to watch every student, because you have to take the time for certain exercises, and then each class repeats that exercise so the children have that knowledge and are working on their technique. And then you go through the slides on Zoom and you watch each child to give them correction.”

The school was able to welcome back students for a limited capacity summer class that ran from the end of July into August.

In-person classes resumed in September, but with new protocols in place.

“We opened for classes but had to reduce the number of kids that we could have in the building and reduce the number of students in each studio,” Frankel continued. “We set out a grid for all the kids to stand in while they were being taught. We have hand sanitizers and wipes for all the bars that we use and after every class the teachers are required to clean the studio. We also put in five-minute gaps between each group of students coming in and out of the building.”

Frankel praised the Coupé Theatre Studio students for being able to quickly adapt to a new not normal.

“The kids have to wear masks at all time in the studio and our teachers had to teach in masks,” she said. “The students were really good at maintaining mask coverage and were able to take a dance class with them. The most amazing thing was seeing the oldest students performing difficult

Today’s lessons are hybrid setups where teachers are inside the studios with limited capacity class attendance and other students watching via Zoom. Sixty-inch television screens are installed in the studios so the teachers can fully view both the distant and in-person students simultaneously.

“You may have eight to 10 students in the class with you and two or three on Zoom each class, and they are treated as part of the class,” she said. “The teacher looks at each of the lines and they’re dancing and the Zoom is aligned so they get equal amount of education.”

While resuming classroom instruction was one bridge to cross, a more looming obstacle challenged the school: its annual holiday staple “The Nutcracker,” FCBJ

WCBJ

which is produced annually with the nonprofit Rockland Youth Dance Ensemble and staged at Rockland Community College.

When planning began in the summer, it was unclear if the pandemic would abate by the end of the year, and the college was not able to commit so far in advance for hosting the event.

However, an off-the-cuff remark about making a film version of “The Nutcracker” began to spark a new creative consideration. After scouting locations among Nyack’s mansions and hosting auditions, Coupé Theatre Studio’s first foray into filmmaking took place — with a multitude of pandemic-era protocols.

“Anytime there was hand-holding or anything like that, we had to wait and rehearse that separately,” Frankel said.

“Before the kids came onto the set, they all had to have negative Covid tests. And once they arrived on set, they were at six

feet apart. They would receive their costumes in their dressing rooms, and once they got onto the set that was the only time that they were allowed to remove their masks — and then they put their masks back on after the shot.”

The new 90-minute film version is now in the editing process and Frankel plans to have it available on New Year’s Eve for a $20 rental fee on the Vimeo video platform, with DVD sales being scheduled for early 2021.

And speaking of next year, the studio is thinking about staging outdoor shows, with Frankel noting how the studio’s large parking lot could accommodate a stage and a socially distant audience.

She is also considering Zoombased virtual performances.

Still, she is eager to return to the pre-pandemic routine as soon as possible.

“We’re hoping we can get back into a theater, but at the moment, we’re not sure.”

Danbury Mayor Boughton named to state post

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

L

ongtime Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton is relinquishing his job to become Connecticut’s next commissioner of the Department of Revenue Services (DRS), beginning on Dec. 18.

“Mark has earned a reputation as being a dedicated public servant and hard worker, and his experience as mayor provides him with a considerable amount of knowledge on the inner workings of government, particularly when it comes to the impacts certain measures can have on the local level, where they are closest to home,” Gov. Ned Lamont said in making the announcement.

“I firmly believe that a bigger table, open door and creative solutions will help produce the best outcomes for the people of our state, regardless of someone’s political affiliation. I thank Mark for making the decision to join our administration and I look forward to having him serve in this important capacity.”

“Gov. Lamont’s team has shown its dedication to the people of our state since he took office,” Boughton, a Republican, said in a statement, “especially during this

pandemic, and they have been great to work with through this transition. I stood by the governor when our state saw its first case of Covid-19 back in March, and I am proud to become a member of his team as he continues to lead the state during this unprecedented period.”

Boughton is succeeding John Biello, who has been serving as acting DRS commissioner since the 2019 resignation of Scott Jackson. Replacing Boughton as Danbury mayor until the next election will be Republican City Council President Joe Cavo.

Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney and Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff, both Democrats, released a statement applauding Lamont for Boughton’s appointment.

“The people of Connecticut benefit when state government can work together in a bipartisan way, especially in the midst of a crisis like the Covid-19 pandemic,” they said. “Mayor Boughton is a seasoned government professional whose experience includes service as a state representative.”

Boughton — whose father Donald served as Danbury mayor and on its city council, and represented the 109th District as a state representative — began his politFCBJ

WCBJ

ical career in 1998 as a state representative for the 138th District in 1998. He was reelected to that post in 2000 before being elected mayor in 2001.

He also ran for governor three times, most recently in 2018, when he was defeated in the Republican primary by Bob Stefanowski. The latter was bested by Lamont in that year’s election.

Although Lamont is a Democrat, he and Boughton have enjoyed a cordial relationship over the years.

Appearing with Lamont and Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling at the governor’s April 14 Covid briefing, Boughton said, “There’s time for politics later on. Right now this is about healing our state, our country and our communities.”

Boughton’s nomination will be sent to the Connecticut General Assembly for its advice and consent.

State of the City

At his annual State of the City address on Dec. 11, Boughton, who is in the midst of his record 10th term as the city’s mayor, acknowledged publicly for the first time that he was accepting the state post.

“To be recognized by the gov-

ernor and the state is an honor,” he declared, saying that he had spent the past several months asking himself, “What’s my future?

What’s my place in the universe?

“My time in politics is ending,” he said, noting that DRS is a nonpartisan department, “but my dedication to public service in Danbury is not over.” He said he would continue to live in the city; momentarily tearing up, Boughton said he would “never forget the things we’ve accomplished together — it’s the Danbury difference.”

“I will continue fighting for the legacy we’ve built here,” he added.

Boughton’s DRS comments capped a roughly 35-minute speech that served mainly as a trip down memory lane, as he tallied a number of accomplishments over his 20-year term.

Those included the construction of a police station in 2009, a firefighters’ training facility in 2016 and improvements to its 311 nonemergency information phone line.

More recently, Boughton noted that a $45 million career academy for Danbury middle and high school students is underway at the Summit building and announced that Nuvance Health

is leasing 200,000 square feet at that same complex, moving “hundreds of employees” there and keeping its executive offices in Danbury.

Nuvance Health did not respond to requests for more detail.

Work continues on improving downtown, he said, with the addition of parking garages and the widening of all sidewalks designed to improve access to the area. The Kennedy Flats residential building at 1 Kennedy Ave. is now 100% occupied “with a waiting list,” and Brookview Commons II, at the former Danbury News-Times site at 333 Main St., will have another 170 market-rate apartments.

Boughton further noted that during his tenure, over 1,000 acres of land was acquired and designated public space.

Boughton said he had cut ribbons on more than 10,000 new businesses over the past 20 years, which he offered as proof that small and medium-size businesses represent the “next generation” of growth. While that may be, he also mentioned Amazon’s opening earlier this year of a 148,000-square-foot delivery station at 8-24 Old Sherman Turnpike.

Danbury is still ranked the safest city in Connecticut and recovered more quickly from the first wave of Covid-19 than “almost any other city” in the state, Boughton said.

“Danbury is a community that shows up for one another,” he said. “This city — our city, your city — has had what I call the Danbury difference. It’s been the best place to work.”

The event was sponsored

by Ridgefield-based Boehringer Ingelheim U.S., and hosted by the Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce. The latter’s board chair, Union Savings Bank President and CEO Cynthia Merkle, presented a video tribute to the outgoing mayor.

Jean-Michel Boers, who took over as Boehringer CEO in July, noted that while the company does not develop vaccines for humans, it is developing a pair of antibodies. Both now in clinical trials, one of the antibodies is designed to inhibit the spread of the virus, while the other has the potential of neutralizing it entirely.

and renewables and the company has been positioning itself as a source for much more than oil.

“We now sell more natural gas than we sell oil,” he said, noting that the company’s installation and repair services also have been expanded to cover modern heating and cooling technologies as well as plumbing.

The company has expanded to handling installation of electric generators for those times when power outages occur.

“The culture of this company is, ‘We serve,’” Singer said. “We serve on the coldest days, in the worst weather. The day you don’t want to be on the road is the day we’re on the road.”

He said Robison seems to attract people who exhibit a first-responder type of mentality.

“Like firemen and nurses and doctors, the way they kind of run toward the problems, that’s kind of the people that get attracted to our company because we pride ourselves on service and we care so much about service we seem to attract people who have that same value system,” Singer said.

Robison is a family owned business, although it’s no longer by the Robison family. The roots of the company stretch back to 1921 when architectural engineer Eben Robison and his wife operated at a location in Hartsdale that had a gas station, auto parts store and office where he conducted his drafting business.

By the mid-1920s, they had opened a hardware store and expanded into delivering home heating oil to customers in

‘Shop OnWashington,’ a whole roster of things to bring people into the community and spend money at our shops.”

Within a few months of acquiring the portfolio, of course, Covid-19 arrived.

“When the pandemic started, it was a very scary time for everybody in every corner of the economy,” Greenbaum said. “But we maintained that ongoing, open dialog with all our tenants to identify what their biggest challenges were going to be.”

While plans to address retailers’ and restaurants’ issues were being drawn up, AGW became aware that “certain of the economy were being forgotten about. We were hearing from artists who said, ‘I used to sell x amount of pieces a month and I haven’t sold anything since March.”

So it was during July and August, Art OnWashington was launched, featuring a curated art installation of multimedia works by over 20 Connecticut artists. That was followed by a decision to afford the annual SoNo Arts Fest, which had been in danger of postponement, space in eight unoccupied storefronts under the aegis of festival producer Gordon Fine Arts over two weekends spanning September and October. More than 200 artists were fea-

One of Robison’s early gas stations.

Hartsdale, Scarsdale, Edgemont, Ardsley and White Plains. By 1929, they opened a second gas station in Hartsdale and in the late 1930s opened a fuel oil depot in Hastingson-Hudson.

Additional expansion of the gas stations, auto parts and hardware operations took place and by 1951 the company had not only thriving retail businesses but a fleet of 61 delivery, service and tanker trucks as well.

By the 1970s, the company’s managers and employees who Eben had years earlier allowed to buy stock in the company were actively running it. Due to the volatility of the oil business at that time, they ran into trouble and Robison was taken over by Mobil Oil. In the 1980s, the Singer family, which had owned and operated the New York City oil company Original Oil, acquired Robison

tured, Greenbaum said.

In August, AGW launched “Norwalk To-Go,” a custom takeout and delivery app designed to assist its eight restaurant tenants with the takeout and delivery portions of their businesses.

“Before the pandemic, if a restaurant was making $1 million in sales, $900,000 of that was kept by the restaurant,” Greenbaum said. “But when you start relying on third-party vendors for delivery, they can take as much as 30% of sales as a commission” — a concern shared by several restaurateurs during a virtual roundtable with U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy last month.

“That eats away all your margin,” Greenbaum stated. “Restaurants start shutting down because it makes no economic sense.”

To date, the restaurants have saved some $40,000 using the app, he said.

The latest initiative, the inaugural SoNo Holiday Market, began on Dec. 4. Featuring more than 50 vendors selling art, jewelry, fashion, accessories, home décor and other products, the market runs through Dec. 20.

“It would be nice to do an event every two or three months,” Greenbaum allowed, “even though January, February and March traditionally aren’t months that are screaming ‘event’ at us.”

from Mobil and the operations of Original and Robison were merged.

“The primary territory that we cover is Westchester County and the counties surrounding it to a lesser extent. But we do business over into Fairfield County, Putnam County, into the boroughs,” Dan Singer said.

The company has more than 200 employees servicing in excess of 22,000 homes and businesses. He said they make more than 60,000 individual deliveries of oil every year and more than 33,000 individual service calls.

“If we were having this conversation five years ago all the focus would have been on how effectively can you seal the envelope of the house, seal as much as possible,” Dan Singer said.

“What we’re realizing more now for health reasons, and it’s become particularly pronounced with the virus, with the pandemic, is that healthy air flow through the house is critical for people’s health as well as for the well-being of the house itself. The challenge from a technology standpoint is how can you allow that airflow to effectively get fresh air into the home while you’re maintaining temperature. It’s staying on the

leading edge of that technology is where Robison’s trying to position itself.”

Dan Singer said that they have developed a philosophy among their technicians that they’re not going into a customer’s house as hired help but actually are going in as a trusted adviser.

“When you go to the doctor for a sore throat, the doctor is not just going to look at your throat. The doctor is checking everything else about you holistically to see if there’s anything else that’s wrong,” Singer said.

He explained that technicians are equipped with high-tech equipment such as particle scanners to detect pollutants that may be present, humidity monitors to see whether there’s too much or too little moisture in the air and infrared cameras that allow hot and cold spots to be detected.

“We need to stay on the cutting edge of technology,” Dan Singer said. “I have children; I’m a fan of the planet, and we don’t really identify ourselves as an oil company.

We don’t even identify ourselves as a fossil fuel company.

“Sure, we started selling coal and we migrated to different grades of heating oil and then we’ve migrated to biofuels and we’re also selling natural gas and now as electrification becomes a larger part of what will be heating peoples’ homes we’re going to stay on the cutting edge of that. Quite frankly, if the demand five, ten, fifty years from now is that people want to power their homes with nuclear energy then we’re going to have to get our technicians trained on plutonium, because that’s what we do.”

He said he expected many of the AGW events to remain once the pandemic is over. “We want to continue going from a defense position (vis-à-vis Covid) to more of an offense.”

In addition, leasing activity continues.

Greenbaum said that three tenants had left since it acquired the area, but that

four new leases have been signed over the last 60 days: 4,000-square-foot restaurant SoNo Boil at 99 Washington — Boil's first Fairfield County location; 1,280-square-foot Office Space at 119 Washington; 755-squarefoot SoNo Tattoo at 127 Washington; and 749-square-foot coffee and ice cream shop Affogato at 132B Washington.

Covid cuts demand for Awesome Flight at Westchester airport

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

T

he coronavirus has disrupted Awesome Flight’s charter helicopter service at Westchester County

Airport.

Awesome Flight LLC and its owner-pilot Keith Vitolo of Mamaroneck filed Chapter 11 petitions Dec. 2 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, White Plains.

Awesome Flights declared $270,000 in assets — the estimated value of its 2013 Robinson R66 helicopter — and $1,015,440 in liabilities. Vitolo declared nearly $110,000 in assets and $686,185 in liabilities.

Vitolo has been unable to conduct traditional operations since March 16, he states in an affidavit, “when demand for NY Metro area helicopter charter was temporarily reduced as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.”

Vitolo got into the charter business after years of working in aircraft financing, according to a 2008 New York Times article, when he saw an opportunity to serve fliers annoyed by stressful commercial airline flights.

The business booked nearly $700,000 last year, according to a bankruptcy record, and Vitolo made $106,000 in salary. But revenues are down 70%, to $210,000, so far this year, and his salary has been cut nearly

in half, to $56,280.

Awesome owes M&T Bank of Buffalo $382,120 on a loan Vitolo personally guaranteed.

It owes $300,000 to Baroda Ventures, a Beverly Hills, California, venture capital firm, and has been paying interest with in-kind flights.

The company is also carrying a $29,780 coronavirus Paycheck Protection Program loan and a $15,200 Economic Injury Disaster Loan.

Vitolo owes $200,150 to 1st Constitution Bank of Cranbury, New Jersey, on a loan he guaranteed.

He also owns Amazing Flights LLC, a White Plains company that leases the helicopter to Awesome Flights for $5,000 a month. Amazing Flights has not filed for bankruptcy.

Vitolo has listed the Robinson R66 for $299,999 on Controller, an online aircraft sales site.

But his goal, according to bankruptcy affidavits, is to reorganize and “continue to operate my businesses.”

White Plains bankruptcy attorney Anne Penachio represents Awesome and Vitolo.

Suite Talk

Suite Talk: Jon Winkel, executive director of The Stamford Partnership

T

he Stamford Partnership, a public-private nonprofit focused on economic and community development, has announced plans to roll out a local version of the Promise Program, a scholarship initiative offered in more than 50 localities.

Under the terms of the Promise Program, students who attend public high school in Stamford that show their “promise” with high academic achievement, a consistent attendance rate and participation in community service projects can qualify for a $5,000 per year scholarship toward tuition in their studies for either a two-year associate degree or a four-year bachelor’s degree. The Stamford Promise is scheduled to launch next summer.

In this edition of Suite Talk, Business Journal Senior Enterprise Editor Phil Hall discusses the program with Jon Winkel, executive director of The Stamford Partnership.

What is the genesis of the Stamford Promise Program?

“The Promise scholarship model is nationally known and quite successful.

We’ve been tracking that as a potential opportunity for Stamford for quite a while, and we saw that the Hartford and New Haven Promise Programs are incredibly successful. So, we thought that Stamford should have something similar.”

How does the program work?

“It’s pinned upon having college and university partners who have an eye on advancing their applications from your community. Typically, you would see that from the underserved cities or underserved populations in the state that the Promise Program is launched within.

“In order for the university to go ahead and make that commitment, because it is a very generous scholarship, they ask that the host city does a couple of things. The first is raise enough money and to have a person on site in that town to make sure that those students are being fully supported and are adhering to their promise.

“Also, we need to raise additional funds to have need-based enhancements for those scholarships. This way, if a student who needs some additional financial assistance is part of the program and the Promise scholarship doesn’t go far enough, we should be able to enhance it with some additional dollars to make sure that they can go to school.

“The actual promise itself is the students maintain a certain GPA for all four years of high school, and we’re thinking that’s going to land somewhere between

3.0 and 3.5. For this particular program, they need to have a 95% attendance record and commit and complete a community service project. And if they do those three things and they’re a Stamford resident and they attend the Stamford public high school, then they will qualify for that scholarship automatically.”

Does it matter which college the students are going to?

“They would have to go to a participating college or university. So right now, we’re looking at the University of Connecticut as our anchor institution for this. And if you look at Hartford and New Haven models, they’ve also been able to get the state university system — Central, Southern, Western — and we think as soon as we’re able to turn us on officially, we’ll get them involved as well.”

UConn recently suspended its scholarship program for low-income students. How is that going to impact their potential participation in this program?

“It shouldn’t have an impact. This is a separate program from that — they’re similar but disconnected.”

Do you have plans to involve any WCBJ

of the other colleges in Fairfield County?

“It would have to be a participating school. We’re concentrated on schools within a 20- or 30-mile radius. Stamford, of course, is near the New York state line, so in a couple of years we can start looking at schools like Pace or SUNY. But for the time being, it’s got to be focused on Connecticut schools — primarily those state university system schools like UConn.”

This program is going to be launching in the summer of 2021.

So, when should students start applying for the scholarship?

“We’re going to make an official announcement sometimes toward the end of this year. And then they can start applying in the first quarter of next year. But there’s a couple more milestones we have to run past — and we’ll put up a draft of the interest form so that students can still get their information in on time.”

Your criteria of between a 3.0 and 3.5 GPA and a 95% attendance rate is a high bar. What kind of initial response are you expecting from scholarship?

“We’re hoping for a minimum of 20 students in the first cohort.”

You cited similar programs in Hartford in New Haven. How has their success rate been?

“Incredible. They’re just full of graduation rates and increased performance.

It’s absolutely incredible what they’ve achieved.”

Where do the funds for this program come from?

“The participating universities provide the scholarship and then the partnerships contribute a fundraiser. We’re working with a family foundation, a private foundation and a philanthropic organization, I’ll be able to share their names once we have the fund fully subscribed.”

Ultimately, how will this program benefit Stamford?

“There’s also an economic development benefit that comes along with this as well. Citizens in Stamford have a huge incentive to stay here, raise a family here and either buy a home or keep their home here because they have this incredible incentive for their kids to go to college.

While this is definitely for the kids, it also has a huge benefit for the student’s entire family, just because of the financial side of it.”

Hyde Park real estate exec sues insurer for $2.2M for SEC fraud costs

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

Hyde Park business executive is demanding more than $2.2 million from a Japanese insurance conglomerate for legal fees he incurred in a federal fraud investigation.

Jacob Frydman, the former CEO and director of United Realty Trust Inc. of Manhattan, sued Endurance American Insurance Co. for breach of contract for not reimbursing fees purportedly covered under an insurance policy. The suit was filed Dec. 9 in U.S. District Court, White Plains.

“Endurance’s utterly unjustified refusal to pay these bona fide expenses, which are clearly covered by the policy,” Frydman said, “constitutes bad faith conduct by the insurer.”

United Realty was a real estate investment trust, a company that pays dividends to investors with income from real estate leases.

Frydman sold United Realty in 2015 to First Capital Real Estate Investments, founded by Suneet Singal. Frydman

resigned as CEO and secretary, according to news reports, and was appointed chief investment officer.

United Realty had bought a six-year, $5 million officers and directors policy from Endurance that covered certain losses incurred by executives. Endurance, which had an office in Purchase, was acquired in 2017 by the Japanese conglomerate Sompo International.

From 2016 to 2019, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigated Singal and First Capital.

A year ago, the SEC sued Singal, in part, for allegedly receiving more than $15 million in consideration, as part of the Untied Realty purchase, for 12 hotels he did not actually own. The case is pending in Manhattan federal court.

“As a result of wrongdoing by Singal,” Frydman claims, United ended up with no assets and he had to cover payments made

by United in the SEC investigation.

Frydman claims he incurred $2,221,294 in legal fees and other expenses, responding to the SEC. He has given Endurance an itemized

Keeping It

| By Fatime Muriqi

Creating transparent content doesn’t have to be hard

BY FATIME MURIQI Fmuriqi@westfairinc.com

T

he best marketing tactics are the ones that turn leads into clicks, subscribers or better yet, buying customers. With so much happening around us 24/7, it can be hard to create the best content to align with your target audience.

Sometimes it can be difficult to even know where to start with content building and how to actually get the loyal customer that you’re looking for. The best way to do this is through transparent

content creating.

What does this mean? Transparency is crucial for businesses today.

Consumers value brands that are trustworthy and honest, but it’s not always easy to express authenticity through a carefully constructed brand image.

There are a lot of approaches to consider if you want to find ways to be more open with your customers on social media and other marketing platforms.

Here are some tools to get you started on the journey of transparent content creating:

answerthepublic.com

Start with this site to find out what people are searching for on the internet.

This way you can use these topics to promote your products or services. Business is all about solving a problem and you providing a solution. This tool helps you start thinking about what content would be the most useful and informative for your target audience.

There are 3 billion Google searches every day, and 20% of those have never been seen before. AnswerThePublic listens into autocomplete data from search engines such as Google, then quickly

cranks out every useful phrase and question people are asking around your keyword. It’s a goldmine of consumer insight you can use to create fresh, ultra-useful content, products and services. The kind your customers really want.

trends.google.com

The next step is see when and where people are looking for your product or service. This helps with ad targeting, so you know exactly what keywords to place in your content and who to look for.

Copy.ai

Now that you have a topic and leads for ad targeting, it’s time to come up with the actual copy, which can be the most challenging part. CopyAI will help you automate the tedious, and oftentimes frustrating, aspects of copy creation.

They help you brainstorm high-quality, audience-based copy in real time to best speak to your customers.

Canva.com

What’s a good caption/description if you don’t have an eye-catching graphic to go along with it? Canva has become a favorite for many large and small businesses. You can design remotely anything like presentations, social media graphics, f lyers, brochures and business cards. Canva also offers various blog posts and courses to increase your graphic design skills with video tutorials and full courses you can take for free.

Why should someone support you when there are others offering the same product or service? That’s where creating transparent content comes into play, it’s all about being relevant — don’t be generic.

The lines between media and marketing are more blurred than ever, and there’s only one way to be noticed — by being transparent. You want the right audience that will truly engage with your content, so give them the answers they’re searching for and create a brand loyalty.

Charnin Brown-Hayward goes fingertip fancy

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

I

n March, Charnin Brown-Hayward closed her Newburgh salon Nail Wig Toppings Bar when the Covid-19 pandemic took root. While the temporary shuttering of her livelihood was disruptive, it provided her with a when-life-hands-you-lemons moment to plumb her creative worth.

Brown-Hayward’s business differed from other nail salons by giving customers a self-service option to add glitter, pigment and powder effects. Customers whose nails were covered with a freshly applied lacquer or gel topcoat would place each nail under the nozzle of a container containing the special effects. After the nails were covered and the excess was tapped off, the fingers were placed under a curing light for one to two minutes, and a light brushing ensured the “nail wig” was in place.

Since customers could not visit the Newburgh business during the pandemic and in-home visits did not seem feasible due to health concerns, Brown-Hayward sought to bring her unique beauty offering directly to the customers as a retail item.

Tapping into her career skill set — before turning entrepreneurial she worked for 17 years in product development on major brands, including Sally Hansen, Borghese and Elizabeth Arden Nail Care — Brown-Hayward developed the Nail Wig Stroke Effects as a consumer product, which went on sale in early November.

“It took me six to eight months to finalize the product line because there were so many options that I would have went with,” she said. “I created different effects for other people. I wanted it to be different and not use the same product.”

Brown-Hayward admitted that she could have gone a quicker route by formulating a traditional nail polish line, but said that she was more interested in expanding consumer choices beyond the usual fare.

“I didn’t want to not be able to present new concepts and ideas and not be able to give people different ideas to formulate nail polish,” she explained. “You could still use your traditional nail polish or traditional nail color gels and use the Stroke Effects line to embellish them and glamorize them even further.”

Brown-Hayward said that her product differs from the competition because it comes as a standalone item and doesn’t require multiple components.

“There are people who launched chrome powders out on the market, but you would have a pot of pigment powder and then need to buy an eyeshadow brush or a board,” she said. “With Nail Wig Stroke Effects, you get the bottle plus the applicator in one.”

Brown-Hayward’s Nail Wig Stroke Effects line comes in five varieties of glitters, pigments and powders for a combined 36-shade, multirange offering.

The Nail Wig Stroke Effects product line.

The line includes “Halo Effects” with saturated fine and larger particle-size holographic glitters; “Foil Effects” for achieving a dimensional presentation; “Glo Effects” with neon black-light activated properties that offer fingertip illumination; “Chrome Effects” that use microfine metallic pigments that create a mirror finish; and “Glitter Effects” for a sparkling texture.

“I’m planning on launching additional

strokes by January,” she said, adding that the current products range from $8 to $15 per bottle. She hinted that 2021 will see her “doing some collaborations with some wellknown people” on nail design products.

For now, Brown-Hayward is exclusively selling her product online, affirming that sales are “starting to pick up” thanks to her connections in the industry and her contracting a public relations firm to help spread the

Charnin Brown-Hayward, creator of Nail Wig Stroke Effects. word. To help her run this new endeavor, she relies on a familiar figure as her workforce.

“I want to say I have a team, but my team is my husband,” she laughed. “He does my logistics and shipping right now.”

Westport inventor’s Mozy is the talk of the fire pit

BY KAREN SACKOWITZ ksackowitz@westfairinc.com

W

estport dad Charlie Sherts started dreaming up the idea for his new product, the Mozy, while sitting at his son’s soccer game one very chilly day in 2019. “I was sitting on the bench freezing, noticing that people around me had blankets, but they weren’t working,� Sherts said. “I realized that it all has to do with the convective heat loss. No matter how tight you wrap a blanket around you, it leaves gaps where air comes in.�

As a research and development specialist in the medical device field, Sherts drew upon his experience studying thermodynamics and heat transfer to troubleshoot the issue. The idea for the Mozy began to take shape.

Charles Sherts wears his invention.

“The name was created by combining letters of the product’s most important features — MObile and coZY,� he said. “We also wanted a fun, easy to remember name that gave a warm cozy feeling.�

Startup costs were funded by Sherts, as well as Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns. With a goal of raising $10,000, Sherts came closer to $20,000, which funded prototype development and plenty of testing as he studied how best to block convective heat loss while addressing airflow between body and blanket. The Mozy startup team cycled through 37 different prototypes, enlisting fellow sports parents to form sideline focus groups. “We experimented with the Westport soccer teams and did some testing with Wilton teams too,� Sherts told the Business Journals. “It helped us see what we should adjust, what features we should add, how it should be fastened; it was all part of the development, which took about a year.�

The wearable Mozy thermal wrap has a heavy-duty, water-resistant and windproof outer shell and inner plush fleece that hugs the body due to built-in elasticity. It attaches at waist level so as to cover the area that needs it most. “You see people wearing heavy jackets and heavy socks, boots, hats and gloves, but from the waist down it’s primarily just a thin pair of jeans,� Sherts said. “The Mozy has a thickness of a half an inch, which minimizes the heat transfer from your body to the cold air, as well as the convective heat loss from the body to an aluminum bench.�

In March 2020, the Mozy was ready to head to production and be marketed to sports parents and other outdoor spectators. Then, Covid hit. “When all of the sports activities were shut down, we had to decide whether to go forward,� he said. “Suddenly, we found a lot of people were interested (in Mozy) for their outdoor fire pit or for eating out, things like that. We just had to pivot with it and say okay, that’s our new primary market — everyone who’s just trying to stay outside and keep doing the things they enjoy.�

The Mozy’s official launch was in November. As the weather has gotten colder, orders have grown substantially, with holiday sales thus far totaling about $80,000.

Sherts tells the Business Journals he’s proud that he is able to keep his operation in the United States, specifically the Northeast, working with a manufacturer based in Saratoga, New York, and a shipping partner in Stratford, Connecticut. With the supply chain close by, he said they are ready to scale. “We’re really proud to be a Connecticut company and we want to get involved with as many of our local communities here as much as we can. We’re seeing a lot of really exciting things coming our way from across the country.�

Planet Fitness strives to remain (financially) fit with safety innovations

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

T

rying to stay fit in the middle of a pandemic can be a challenge. But the Planet Fitness chain said it has taken great strides to prove that it is indeed fit to remain open — and that it behooves everyone to try and get into shape.

“Physical fitness plays a really critical role in combating this virus,” Planet Fitness COO Joe Pepe told the Business Journal.

“We’ve all heard the news that people with a comorbidity who contract Covid can have a more dire outcome.”

Indeed, a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 94% of U.S. deaths from Covid-19 were also associated with other conditions, including obesity, diabetes and hypertension.

Pepe’s comments echoed those of Planet Fitness CEO Chris Rondeau, who in July told CNBC: “If you think about it, gyms are really a part of the health care delivery system, and to shut us down is counterproductive.

We really are part of the solution, not the problem.”

Pepe said that since reopening on June 17 -— Planet Fitness was shut down like other fitness facilities in March — its clubs across Connecticut have had 1,685,059 total checkins among 177,104 total members, with no evidence that Covid-19 has been transmitted

in one of its clubs.

“We’ve had 11 cases where people tested positive within the 14-day (quarantine) period,” he said, “but there have been zero cases of someone contracting it in our system.”

Planet Fitness, based in Hampton, New Hampshire, operates clubs throughout the county, including in Danbury, Fairfield, Norwalk, Stamford, and Trumbull.

Gyms are “one of the lowest known providers of the spread,” Pepe said, pointing for further evidence to a Nov. 18 op-ed by former U.S. Deputy Surgeon General Dr. Kenneth Moritsugu published in the New York Daily News.

“Fitness plays a critical role in combating the virus and improving people’s overall physical and mental health,” Moritsugu wrote. Enumerating the comorbidities that “can cause complications and significantly increase the chances of hospitalization and death for those who contract Covid-19,” he said: “Regular physical activity can protect us from these conditions while helping us to fight the virus. You may not think you have the time to squeeze in a workout, but researchers found that as little as 20 minutes of exercise can have anti-inflammatory effects that boost your immune system.”

Meanwhile, a nationwide poll published in August by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that about 53% of U.S. adults said their mental health had been negatively impact-

ed by stress over the pandemic — up from 32% in March.

Whether those numbers will improve during the winter remains an open question. “Not everyone can work out at home,” Pepe said, “and you’re probably not going to be able to go outside for a long run very soon.”

In addition to guidelines mandated by the state government, Planet Fitness has undertaken a number of steps to protect clients and employees alike. “We tried to be proactive,” Pepe said. “We developed a 95-page reopening playbook, which includes various safety measures.”

In addition to mandatory face masks for staff and clientele, the chain requires temperature checks and the answering of a few health-related questions of anyone entering a facility; has installed electrostatic disinfectant systems to sanitize the space and equipment overnight; and conducts “walk-throughs” every 20 minutes to ensure that equipment is properly wiped down and to address any concerns.

The company also has added a new “Crowd Meter” feature to its free app, which allows members to monitor gym capacity — currently limited to 50% — in real time. The app can help members schedule their gym visits at less busy times to further achieve social distancing, Pepe said.

“We have 20,000 to 25,000-square-foot FCBJ

clubs with high ceilings, which also helps with ventilation concerns,” he said.

But as with so many business sectors, gyms have had a difficult 2020. Gold’s Gym filed for Chapter 11 in May — it was acquired

by Berlin’s RSG Group GmbH in August for $100 million — while privately held 24 Hour Fitness chain also filed for Chapter 11 in June.

Planet Fitness itself saw its third-quarter revenue fall 36.8% to $105.4 million from the previous third quarter — which represented an improvement over the 77.9% year-overyear loss it recorded in the second quarter.

Its stock, which sat at $88.04 on Feb. 20, had plunged to $27.54 by March 18; as of Dec. 14, it stood at $73.61.

While unable to say what the costs of implementing so many safety features has been, Pepe said they had been “significant,” noting that the electrostatic systems cost “well over $1,000” per store.

“But these are costs that we’re happy to undertake,” he said. “We’re not going to be cheap here.”

Indeed, the company is still offering membership fee freezes and outright cancellations at no charge for the time being.

And, while new memberships have not been what they were in 2019, they have been “steadily increasing as we get closer to a vaccine,” Pepe said. “People want to be fit.”

Winter months can worsen dementia symptoms

BY ALICIA SEAVER

H

ave you noticed that your loved one’s dementia symptoms are worsening this time of year? It’s not just your imagination — it’s incredibly common for individuals with dementia to have increased incidences of sundowning, anxiety and other unwanted symptoms.

The onset of shorter days and less daylight can exacerbate sundowning, which is an umbrella term for a collection of symptoms that often (but not always) occur when the daylight hours wane. Some common symptoms exhibited during sundowning are aggression, confusion, irritation and anger.

Some experts believe sundowning is related to our circadian rhythm, but it can also be exacerbated by changes in schedule — such as seemingly eating dinner an hour later due to Daylight Savings Time.

The winter days and nights can also increase the incidence of depression in both seniors with dementia and their caregivers — specifically, Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD. The low levels of vitamin D and the disruption of the circadian rhythm also can disrupt sleep, which leads to nighttime wan-

dering and daytime drowsiness.

Some ways of coping are: Encourage sunbathing. Taking advantage of natural sunlight as much as possible can be one antidote. Whenever possible, bundle up and go for a short walk with your loved one around the block, or even around your yard. If it’s simply too cold, throw open the drapes and sit by a sunny window. Even on a cloudy day, the sun’s rays slip through the clouds, helping reset the circadian clock, boost vitamin D, reduce stress and improve moods.

Create a calming sunset routine. Set the scene for a calm and serene sunset. Start in late afternoon and focus on calming the room and surroundings for your loved one.

Wrap up any activities well before sundown so you’re not overstimulating your loved one. Playing relaxing music, making sure the inside lights are turned on and a distraction-free zone can help reduce sundowning symptoms.

Get enough exercise. Make sure that you and your loved one both get enough physical activity during the day. At the same time, be sure to entertain your brains with activities and tasks — boredom is another

trigger for sundowning.

Try and keep a routine as much as possible. While the holidays can make things a little dicey, do your best not to change schedules too much or disrupt your loved one’s routine. This will go a long way toward helping manage their symptoms.

Manage meals. Eating too much at night and imbibing sugar or alcohol can exacerbate dementia symptoms. Consider making lunchtime the large meal of the day and serve a lighter dinner of soup, sandwiches or salads for the evening meal. Avoid serving sugar or caffeine in the evening if possible.

Maintain good sleep hygiene. It can be hard to sleep in a room that’s used for multiple things. Experts across the board agree that maintaining good sleep hygiene — which starts by reserving the bedroom for sleeping only — is essential for good rest. Make sure your loved one’s room is cool enough (being too warm disrupts sleep), dark enough and is used only for sleeping. Remove any TVs or screens that can cause sleep disruptions and be sure to have a consistent, calming bedtime routine that you stick to as much as possible.

Ask for help. If you find yourself becoming overwhelmed or if you are having diffi-

culty helping your loved one manage their symptoms, ask a friend or family member to provide support and assistance. Have them come and watch your loved one for a few hours so you can get out of the house and provide some self-care. You can also consider a short-term stay at a nearby memory care community or hiring an aid to come in several times a week. Your local area Agency on Aging or your local Alzheimer’s Association chapter are both great resources for finding assistance.

LUKE’S WISH CLIMATE-CHANGE EXHIBIT AT THE BRUCE During his short lifetime Luke Meyers dedicated himself to combatting global warming by educating his community and planning a career working on climate-change mitigation.

Although he had only 15 years on this earth, his passion and ideas impacted thousands of people. On one day alone in November 2019, hundreds of people swept Greenwich Point Park clean of trash during the “Live Like Luke” beach clean-up.

Last year, Luke contacted the Make a Wish Foundation a 501 nonprofit organization founded and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, that helps fulfill the wishes of children with a critical illness between the ages of 2​¹⁄₂ and 18 years old about installing a climate-change education center at the Bruce Museum Seaside Center in Greenwich.

Working with the Meyers family and its community partners, the Bruce Museum has launched a crowdfunding campaign to help raise funds for the Luke’s Wish Climate Change Exhibit. As a part of Sustainable CT’s Community Match Fund, the fundraising campaign will be hosted

Mayor Tom Roach, who cut the ribbon to open Farida Skin Care back in June of this year, said: “We are very pleased to see one of the newest local businesses already giving back to the community.

Farida Skin Care’s contribution to White Plains Hospital will not only benefit breast cancer patients who are being treated there, but will also help increase breast cancer awareness and especially, the importance of early detection through regular testing.”

The donation was handed over out-

side of the White Plains Hospital Center for Cancer Care due to COVID precautions.

Megan McMullen, director of development for the White Plains Hospital Foundation, recently accepted the donation on behalf of the cancer center at the presentation, which took place outside the center because of Covid-19 precautions. “We very much appreciate this donation. For Farida Skin Care Studio to think of our patients in the middle of a pandemic shows how much quality health care means to this community,” said McMullen.

SAVE THE SOUND RECEIVES FUNDING MOVING HIGH-IMPACT REGIONAL WORK FORWARD

COS COB FIRE POLICE PATROL SPREADS HOLIDAY CHEER The Cos Cob Fire Police Patrol Inc. (The Patrol) hosted “Operation Santa,” a benefit in support of its all-volunteer agency celebrating 93 years of service to the town of Greenwich.

The Patrol volunteers delivered holiday cheer, complete with Santa and The Grinch, Dec. 5 through Dec. 20 to participants who had signed up online.

In lieu of the Cos Cob Fire Police benefit this year, the donations made for this special delivery will help offset funds that would have been raised at that benefit.

Protecting the town of Greenwich since 1927, the Patrol is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the residents. It provides a broad spectrum of services to residents and first responders, including firefighting, salvage operations, traffic and scene control at emergencies. “We are truly blessed to have these volunteers who are ready to roll out whenever needed, 24/7,” said Fred Camillo, Greenwich first selectman.

Save the Sound, based in New Haven, has been awarded two grants from the Long Island Sound Futures Fund (LISFF), administered by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF). The funds awarded include $200,000 to produce a watershed-based plan for the Hutchinson River in Westchester County and $172,000 to design a nature-like fishway at Long Pond Dam on Whitford Brook in Ledyard, Connecticut.

Using the awarded funds and matching contributions, Save the Sound and the Westchester County Department of Planning will work closely with local stakeholders to develop a watershed plan for the portion of the Hutchinson River watershed in Westchester County.

“We’re really looking forward to working with Westchester County and community partners across all the lands that drain to the Hutchinson River to complete our first watershed plan in New York,” said Nicole Davis, watershed coordinator at Save the Sound. “These plans are critical for developing a comprehensive approach to building pollution reduction, flood resilience, approaches to stormwater management, and community engagement in advocacy and stewardship across municipal lines.”

“Our department, due to the landscape of our county, is no stranger to watershed plans like this,” said Norma Drummond, Westchester County Plan-

ning Commissioner. “We look forward to partnering with Save the Sound on behalf of Westchester residents….”

With an award of $172,000 from this round of the Long Island Sound Futures Fund, Save the Sound and project partners will design a nature-like fishway to help migratory forage fish like alewife pass Long Pond Dam.

“With this design funding, we’ve moved one step closer to a connected river system on Whitford Brook,” said Gwen MacDonald, director of ecological restoration at Save the Sound. “The restoration of our rivers and the fish runs that bring them so much vitality each spring must remain a top priority across the Long Island Sound region….”

There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeownerís distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. #62747
