We get thousands of messages from readers; one requested we share them— here we go!

Welcome

Fall Has Arrived—Let’s Celebrate!

F

or those who agree with last month’s feature, “Welcome, ‘It’s Not Over!’” acknowledging summer was weeks away and the season wasn’t going to end until September 23, congratulations, you once again squeezed every drop of sunshine and pleasure from the final days of summer!

With that passing, let’s regroup and swing into fall.

As the leaves become a kaleidoscope of colors and the skies, unladen with haze, deliver a refreshing crispness to the air, anticipation for an enchanting holiday season reverberates within.

With this change, we would like to share a basket of information with you, so let’s begin.

We have been supportive of the people of Ukraine by various means; one is the placement of the country’s colors on our cover since the war began, another is making contacts with groups that are assisting those escaping the tyranny

of Putin, and supporting the Annual Ukrainian Festival held on the campus of Boston University at the tail end of August.

The cultural event was educational and affirming, showcasing the richness of Ukraine and its people; the beautiful day heightened our commitment to those on the quest to halt the aggression inflicted by its neighbor and promote the need for allowing refugees through our borders.

This month, you’ll also notice another designation on our covers: a pink ribbon indicating our support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This terrible disease has touched many families, and only through a consciousness of regular screening and immediate treatment can it be eradicated.

We urge you to talk about breast cancer, not just in October, but every month, and make it a point to ask others if they have visited their doctors and selfexamine for signs and symptoms.

October is also the launch of the newly created South Coast Harvest Festival, to be held in Westport, Massachusetts. The

reinvented three-day festival will focus on farms, agriculture, the sea, and all aspects of the rural but tony community.

A kick-off Preview Party will be held on Thursday evening, September 28; go to Eventbrite for tickets.

October is our Fall Real Estate Issue, featuring the finest luxury properties along the SouthCoast and around New England. As a unique addition to our usual presentation, this month includes two in-depth Home Reviews, each exemplifying a lifestyle hidden from the limelight but offering radiant appeal.

Soon, the slopes will be coated with powder—which has been known to happen early in the season. Believe it or not, many recall skiing on Halloween not long ago!

It’s not premature to pull your skis and boards out and get them tuned, pick up your season passes, and supply your winter homes with everything you’ll need to get through what some predict to be a very white winter.

f asked where the legacy homes are located on the SouthCoast of Massachusetts, what comes to mind are those magnificent seaside ‘cottages,’ hidden from sight, in an area called Round Hill, made famous by Edward Howland Robinson Green (1868–1936), fondly known as ‘Colonel’ Ned Green, and his mother, Henrietta ‘Hetty’ Howland Robinson Green (1834-1916), known as the ‘Witch of Wall Street,’ once the wealthiest woman in the world, at a time when America was celebrating the Gilded Age. Upon her death, the heiress turned capitalist—known to wear rags, was worth approximately $100 million (estimated at $2.5 billion today), absent of property and other assets not listed with her name. Referred to as a brilliant investor, a ‘ruthless loan-shark,’ and a ‘glorified pawnbroker’ by some, the Smithsonian magazine contributes the concept of ‘value investing’ (the same technique billionaire Warren Buffet has followed) to ‘Hetty,’ calling her a ‘genius.’

Proudly represented by Milbury and Company, One Beach Lane, less than a mile from a mansion once owned by the Colonel, is a desirable home pitched above the shoreline where the Slocum and Little Rivers meet the Atlantic Ocean.

With breathtaking water views from nearly every room, the pinnacle of beach houses oversees a spectacular horizon, much like a home further down the coast that sold for almost $19 million not long ago.

Desirable features include a great room on the upper level, maximizing the sought-after vista with a wall of windows and French doors opening to a water-side deck.

Its spacious open kitchen features professional appliances and stone countertops, opening to a living room with a cathedral ceiling. Adjacent is a formal dining area and sunroom. The primary suite is found on the mezzanine with a walk-in closet, marble bathroom, and wall of glass overlooking the bay.

The main level has a cozy office, two bedrooms, and a guest bathroom.

Privacy is ensured by the home being positioned down a private path onto a peninsula out to the bay; old growth surrounds the property, leaving ample room to build a new terrace for entertaining.

LOVES GOT LEGS

Love’s got legs, love’s got speed Love’s got everything you need To sing, to dance, to tell some jokes And bring love home to meet the folks

Love is fancy, love is plain Love is sunshine and love is rain Soaking wet from head to toes Love has us take off all our clothes

We show our love without the words A weightless love like soaring birds On hot days love is always cool Splash of love in a swimming pool

Love is breakfast, love is lunch Love is flowers by the bunch A face lights up when love’s around Love shouts but hardly makes a sound

Love—Don’t Coach!

I

BY STEVEN CHAN

n 1711, in an essay about patient care, Alexander Pope wrote, “To err is human, to forgive is divine.” It was a message about forgiveness because humanity is flawed.

In today’s convoluted search for a satisfying relationship, the term ‘Red Flags’ is a pennant associated with alerts to those seeking partners; it’s a list too comprehensive to memorize, but essential to consider when diving into the pool of love.

Principally, these ‘flags’ are a battle cry, a resounding shout-out about the necessary observations required during the initial phase of dating, say, the first three months. They are also a clear warning when you spot someone showing signs of emotional flaws or toxic behaviors, much of which are embedded in their attachment style.

Indicators include trust issues, manipulation, narcissism, anger or outbursts, low self-esteem, and, all too often, co-dependency characteristics.

One can expect to see hints of minor infractions at the beginning stages of courting. But unless they persist and become a problem, such issues can be allocated to the awkwardness of settling into a new connection.

Most interesting, although often ignored—and the basis for this column, is the unrecognizable self-contained ‘red flags’ ignored when initiating a relationship.

While there are plenty of warning signs from the start, one requiring the most attention during bonding is the need to form ‘Expectations’ of another person. It is not the role of either partner to coach a love interest because they show potential or to shape their personality. However, it continues to be a primary motivator for many when partnering.

The dating game can be confusing; rather than looking for someone different, enjoyable to be with, and having qualities that enhance or complement them, ‘Projection’ comes into play, resulting in assessment followed by efforts to mold a potential mate.

Too often, expectations are set high and unrealistic, with the possibility of a connection being forced into an internal mental narrative that selfishly meets only one of the partner’s wishes.

The judgment doesn’t occur suddenly, like a plane taxiing on a runway; it slowly builds speeds until the wheels are up.

The same here; those who see potential in a love interest

slowly evaluate whether the new person fits their idealism— which they won’t, and so begins the task of behavior and social modification.

An extreme example of this red flag is when meeting someone whose taste in food, art, entertainment, education, hobbies, or values is vastly different, leaving the new partner contemplating fixing what is viewed as a problem. Believing in improving or changing someone into a representation of their best selves or total capacity becomes a ritualistic and frustrating task, ultimately leading to emotional discord.

The shadowy view of this interaction is the non-disclosure by the modern-day Svengali—male or female. Still worse is if both individuals possess similar intent, causing the road to a functioning relationship to become as muddy as the one heading out of Burning Man. ‘Potential,’ also called ‘Fantasy Bonding,’ is a zero-sum game; even if one partner claims victory, it’s temporary and toxic; following this path, neither partner will cheer success in the end.

Attempting to manipulate or force another into a predetermined personality profile is not just perverted; it’s cruel, albeit not unusual. Not long ago, husbands subjected wives to intensive training and demands, expecting them to walk, talk, and behave in a particular manner. The result of one gender ruling another caused physical and emotional pain, unsatisfying relationships, and many screwed-up children.

According to psychologist Robert Firestone, this type of bonding is essentially invalid; it isn’t love but theatrics laced together. A relationship built on fear, protection, or financial reward is superficial and by no means a committed connection; on the contrary, an appropriate metaphor describing this type of relationship is the polarization of two magnets forced together.

In the long term, these flawed relationships become bitter and end in a slow death. Both partners feel disappointed and emotionally drained, if not injured. The rule of complimenting personalities is voided because one partner never actually fit the prerequisite of the other; it was a non-starter from day one— it was just a dream.

Expectations surrounding physical attributes aren’t uncommon or unhealthy for the most part, but to believe in having the right or obligation to modify or enhance emotional awareness, behavioral traits, or intellectual capability is an unrealistic and unattainable objective with couples.

Healthy relationships include the development of self-aware and mutually beneficial bonds. It also includes monitoring a potential mate’s actions, words, and deeds while looking in the mirror and examining one’s motivation and long-term interests.

Accepting that personal growth is essential between two individuals who desire to stay together is the first step in finding a match. However, attempting to control the outcome will inevitably fail.

A STELLAR TRANSFORMATION, AND A ONCE IN A LIFETIME FIND!

aving reviewed well over 200 homes for publication, fortunate to be a guest at a plethora of the most remarkable residences— far and wide, and enjoyed the privilege of attending spectacular events held at locations from every conceivable era and period; few properties leave me breathless from the vision, planning, and design required to elevate— what is best described as a non-descriptive coastal cottage, into an elaborate and remarkably tasteful residence that encompasses all senses.

Lacking any trace of hyperbole, this review of 22 Pine Island Road, Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, could never meet the elevation this designer home has achieved and the level of luxury instilled.

What is exciting about this property is the thoughtful, refined, and tasteful application of form and function, with the inclusion of quality, art, and science.

The hidden utilitarian applications subscribing to the essence of sustainability are subtly, sometimes hidden, but a powerful force that resounds stability and longevity.

In many ways, it can be agreed that good taste is subjective, held to the tenets of pre-subscribed experiences of individuals, insomuch allowances are arbitrary and forgivable. As for imposing design and

architectural superiority, these separate yet complimentary visions must be harmonious, as they are in this case.

An exquisite home, born of a unique collaboration between a Maine architect and a nationally recognized interior and garden designer, Jessie Davidson, rests comfortably surrounded by lush plantings, hand-selected species of trees, hedges, numerous stone accents, and a terrace fitted with a koi pond. It faces southern and eastern exposures, with enchanting park-like grounds anchored by a world-famous, fully-equipped Hartley Botanic glasshouse for yearround cultivating.

As the sun wans westward, the afternoon light animates and texturizes the home’s intricate spaces, enhancing its dramatic pitched peaks while brilliant torches—strategically placed—ignite and illuminate its pathways.

The impressive charcoal exterior of the two-level home, complimented by a barn/ garage combination, causes pause; notably, its high-standard ranks with homes recognized by international publications.

Serene, emotionally satisfying, and physically grounded, the appeal of the 34 | OCTOBER 2023 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

22 Pine Island’s ‘single-axis’ design culminates with a flow of natural energy, as if the outdoors is as much a part of the living space as its interior.

According to Davidson, the challenge of transforming what existed and enhancing the location was achieved by placing seven-foot windows and sliding glass on both sides of the area reserved as a dining space, flanked by an airy living room with a romantic wood-burning fireplace. Just beyond, the unobstructed flow is witnessed by a first-level bedroom and bath, offering convenience and privacy.

The kitchen is delicious; its intricate lighting, counters, views, and professional-level appliances, such as Liebherr and SieMatic, to name a few, are primary examples of the quality that went into the construction of the home and its many amenities.

Other attractive details, too numerous to discuss, include refined touches like wall-papered closets, hidden retractable screens to allow uninterrupted views, painted wide-plank floors, sturdy raw beams, and a mudroom with a brick floor and sink!

The home is a cross-section of farmcoast aesthetics and elevated luxury living, as evidenced by the second-level bedroom and bath refinements.

As for the barn/garage, highlights include a generator, sink, and an expansive and finely appointed room with built-ins, a full bath, and a loft bed under a fabulous cathedral ceiling. The space will perfectly serve someone as separate living quarters, a top-tier office, or design studio.

This home is an oasis and a distinctive environment with a purpose; the ocean, a mere half-mile away, contributes to the tranquility and higher standard of living— unmatched by most in this category.

Upon entering, there is a feeling that this home is infused with love and awaits its soulmates, which could very well be you.

Living Well IS IT JUST BACK-TO-SCHOOL BLUES?

YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH

Still a Pressing Concern Post-Pandemic

BY ROB SAINT LAURENT, M.ED

ccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and behavioral problems are the most diagnosed mental health conditions in American youths. Between 2016 and 2019, estimates of these disorders in children aged 3-17 were: 4.4 percent, or about 2.7 million kids, with depression; 9.4 percent, about 5.8 million kids, with anxiety; 9.8 percent, or about six million kids, with ADHD; and 8.9 percent, or about 5.5 million kids, with behavioral problems.1 The US Surgeon General declared a youth mental health crisis in America in 2021 as a response to the challenges posed

by COVID-19, yet the American Psychological Association (APA) notes that youth mental health problems have been trending upward in the decade prior to the pandemic.2 During this period, the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System shows a roughly 40-percent rise in persistent sadness and hopelessness, including suicidal ideation and behavior.3 New York University child and adolescent psychiatry professor Kimberly Hoagwood, Ph.D. says “really high rates of suicide and depression” have been ongoing and “certainly got worse during the pandemic.”2 Meanwhile, a lack of sunlight during fall and winter may lead to seasonal affective disorder (SAD). A type of depression, SAD is believed to be linked to a decrease in brain serotonin levels that can lead to mood swings. Since the sleep-related hormone melatonin is produced when it’s dark, more of it is made when days are shorter, leading to excessive tiredness.

Though SAD is more common in adults, it can also happen in older children and teens.4-6 There’s a much darker reason than shorter days for why youth mental health declines significantly during the school 36 | OCTOBER 2023 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

year. Psychology researcher and author Peter Gray, Ph.D. says there’s “ever-growing evidence that school is a major cause of anxiety, depression, and even suicide in children and teens.”

While social media gets all the press, he says the proof of school’s role in teen mental illness is “overwhelming” and largely ignored. Gray found that suicides and, to a lesser extent, milder mental breakdowns in school-aged children and teens (only) consistently show a steep rise at the outset of each school year, followed by a precipitous decline during summer break.5 His research is supported by that of hospital emergency psychiatrist Tyler Black, M.D. Black discovered that between 2000 and 2020, July showed the least suicides; followed by a slight uptick in August with the anticipation of the new school year; a sharp jump in September; and by October, a suicide rate 43 percent greater than in July. From there, the rate remained steady until it dropped during winter break, and then declined significantly at the end of the school year in June. Going deeper, Black even found that youth suicides were much higher on Monday-Thursday versus weekends during school months.

In contrast, he found that suicides in people aged 18-30 were highest during summer.5-7 Suicides abated when schools closed during the pandemic, then rose again when kids returned to in-person learning.5 Gray says there’s no simple answer. Bullying is a likely cause, which happens most often in school and can be an immediate cause for suicidal behavior. Black suggests that bullying can also come from teachers and the structure of schools. School can be “incredibly stressful” because of bullying, Black says, as well as for its health and disability barriers, discrimination, sleep loss, and sometimes abuse.

But Gray explains that teens have been found to feel the most stressed of any age group, and most of their stress is from school pressure and not bullying. The idea of school competitiveness and pressure being behind major mental breakdowns is support-

ed by higher-achieving schools having greater breakdown rates than schools that don’t place as much of a premium on grades.

Another stressor is that many children, especially girls, have been experiencing earlier onset of puberty for decades. Experts say this can make it hard for children to process complex feelings and know how to respond. During early puberty, brain regions associated with feelings and social behavior are developing faster than those that help us with emotional control. Young people react by seeking peer approval, as through social media.2 MANAGING YOUR CHILD’S MENTAL HEALTH

Johns Hopkins Medicine explains that depression is often

associated with anxiety, so it’s important for SAD to be diagnosed and treated early. Diagnosis is through a careful mental health evaluation and medical history. Standard treatment can involve sunlight exposure, light therapy involving a special light if natural light isn’t possible, psychotherapy and, sometimes, prescription antidepressants.4 According to AAP, depressed youths may feel sad and lonely, but it often manifests as moodiness and irritability.

They can also lose their appetite or overeat, develop sleep disturbances, or withdraw socially. Depression rates are especially high in children of color, children identifying as LGBTQ, and those with special needs.

Author, mental health advocate, and molecular biologist Bethany Yeiser says people aged 15-25 are particularly vulnerable to stress, which can impact their underdeveloped brains and lead to mental illness.

Persistent, elevated cortisol from stress can lead to excessive dopamine in an immature brain that can harm its growth. Yeiser, who recovered from schizophrenia that arose during a jam-packed college schedule, says it’s important that parents discuss the impact of stress on young minds and the importance of work-life balance with their children.8 Some helpful resources for parents are, Mental Health America’s back-to-school campaign; the CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH); AAP’s Mental Health Resources for Families; and the parent/carer organization Not Fine in School, for kids struggling with absenteeism because of disabilities and unmet special educational needs, mental or physical illness, and bullying, assault, or trauma.

The Preservation Society of Newport County, Rhode Island Provides Insight Into A Relationship Of Deep Connections With An Installation of

THE CELESTIAL CITY: NEWPORT AND CHINA EXHIBIT

alking along Newport’s narrow streets, lined with historic homes, may seem tedious for some, while in contrast, others view the same stroll as a unique opportunity to travel the identical paths of those responsible for building—and enjoying, a period remembered as the Gilded Age. To think, if it weren’t for a few intuitive citizens working in concert with organizations dedicated to rehabilitating, preserving, and protecting monuments and infrastructure that speak to the legends and vigor responsible for creating the mystique the City by the Sea is wrapped, its landscapes would have likely been developed into a metropolis of brick and concrete, condos, and offices. Surely, the result would be the deposit of

40 | OCTOBER 2023 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA | OCTOBER 2023 | 41

its rich history onto library shelves of tattered books, covered in centuries of dust—distant memories lacking recollection to what America looked like during its growth and maturation.

It’s also necessary to blend society’s ills into the narrative, not to berate or justify aberrant behavior or console feelings of ill-garnered appropriations, but to shine the light onto the labor and successes of those who built the marvels of human ingenuity not often recognized, less appreciated.

Today’s Newport celebrates the inclusion of all people and cultures; it’s a community mindful of intellectual, financial, and physical labor contributions made by generations, past and present. Future efforts aimed at shaping the City’s legacy are conducted through contemporary sight rather than a myopic vision of the past; learning is not repeating mistakes while growing together.

In this spirit, the Newport Mansions have announced a spectacular art and media exhibition illustrating the contributions and interactions between Newport and China from the 18th century to the Gilded Age. The much-anticipated event opened at the beginning of September and will host thousands of spectators through its conclusion, scheduled for February 11, 2024.

Located at the splendidly refurbished Rosecliff Mansion, with its expansive oceanfront lawn, mesmerizing sea views and crashing waves, it is regarded as a favorite ‘cottage’ by many and serves as a personal invitation to the entire family. Relaxing, educational, and fun, enjoying the experience of what it would have been like to be part of the Gilded Age, comes alive!

The Celestial City: Newport and China includes more than 100 extraordinary works in various mediums, including paintings, sculptures, prints, and photographs; to fashion, ceramics, lacquerware, and lanterns. The collection’s provenance is related to The Preservation Society of Newport County’s ownership and that of individuals and institutions.

Highlights include treasures of Chinese

42 | OCTOBER 2023 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

art collected by Newport merchants and industrialists, plus media artifacts such as photographs and stories from Newport’s early Chinese community, along with writings, portraits, and family heirlooms of Chinese women suffragists who inspired American women’s rights leaders, including Alva Vanderbilt Belmont of Marble House.

Contemporary artworks by Yu-Wen Wu and Jennifer Ling Datchuk illuminate Chinese contributions to Newport and hidden connections between the Newport Mansions and the ChineseAmerican experience.

“This exhibition gives visitors a new perspective on Newport’s past,” Preservation Society CEO Trudy Coxe said.

“Some aspects of the Newport-China

connection are well known, such as the fortunes made in the 19th century China trade by the families of Chateau-sur-Mer and Kingscote, and of course Alva’s Chinese Tea House. But many are not aware of the extent to which many different people of Chinese heritage contributed to life in this city, including immigrant entrepreneurs, suffragists, merchants, makers, and sailors.”

The Celestial City was informed by research into the experiences of Chinese women’s rights activists and the Chinese community in Newport in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including interviews with descendants.

The Celestial City: Newport and China includes more than 100 extraordinary works in various mediums, including paintings, sculptures, prints, and photographs; to fashion, ceramics, lacquerware, and lanterns.

Admission to The Celestial City: Newport and China is included with admission to Rosecliff, 548 Bellevue Avenue, Newport. The exhibition will be open through February 11, 2024. For more information, visit newportmansions.org.

“Well, I’ll be damned, my child looks at your magazine and saw those women half naked on your pages (our annual swimsuit issue); we won’t be picking it up any longer…”

“You’ve put the SouthCoast on the map…”

“I stole your magazine from a friend’s house in Marion. Do you deliver to the City (NYC)?”

“I don’t know how you do it—but don’t stop!”

“Can I get a back issue?”

“You can be compared to national magazines; your quality, photography, and writing rival the best.”

welve times each year, for nearly two decades, our writers, researchers, editors, designers, creative and production directors, photographers, and traffic people have contributed and invested a significant portion of their lives into delivering highquality publishing content to hundreds of thousands of readers, with an accumulation of millions, stretching from coast to coast, overseas, and across our borders.

Predictably, no one does this for an exorbitant paycheck—they don’t receive; likely, their efforts can be attributed to a burning passion forcing them into media submissiveness, or they’re possessed by an indescribable urge to release uncontrollable talent lacking free will. Maybe.

There’s more to their commitment;

where would they have opportunities to apply their craft to editorial, commentary, entertainment, and lifestyle topics while offering them a tinge of creative license?

We don’t do ‘fluff,’ you recognize it when you see it; ‘pretty pictures,’ repetitiveness, or a rehashing of what other publications covered miles before; that would be wasting your precious time.

And by no means are we cheerleaders paid to deflect questionable realities or the mundane.

Once, during a meeting, after receiving letters of complaints regarding a story, a staffer voiced concern—believing that such an outcry by a few readers would profoundly affect us all, even threatening our existence.

The Publisher, smiling, explained that it’s never nice to hear criticism, especially when it isn’t factual but based

Noting that those few letters indicating approximately 1-2 percent of the entire readership (based on solid data) was unhappy with a particular point of view published, yet we had pleased close to 98 percent of our total readership—was not bad.

We’ve learned that you can’t always please everyone; trying is a fool’s errand. At the same time, we appreciate all opinions and feedback and would like to add levity to your day by way of comments we’ve received over the years.

Hopefully, you’ll share in our delight and realize why we remain the most popular magazine in the many markets we serve.

We humbly thank you for your support over the last 18 years and urge you to pick up a copy reserved especially for you.
