YOUR THOUGHTS, COMPLIMENTS, AND THEORIES “Congratulations on the launch of 401 [Ocean State].”

—R.B of Newport, RI “You do beautiful work!!! Every page is beautiful and interesting. Well done!”

—B.E. of South Dartmouth

Baby, You’re the BEST

W

e presume that once you’ve reached this point in the magazine, you’ve noticed our theme for the month.

And while we have never considered using a marketing tool created for media companies to enhance their bottomline—and nothing to do with identifying true and qualified greatness—we took it upon ourselves to play with the subject of what makes something, the best.

Likely, you’ve read many adaptations of the concept; the “people’s award,” the “best of ” or the annual, “best doctors, lawyers, and accountants.” But, in reality, isn’t the best of anything subjective and often has more to do with personal experiences than a contest and the judgment of people you don’t know?

Keeping this in mind, we’ve decided, (tongue-in-cheek), to label just about everything contained in this month’s magazine as superlative. Of course, we are attempting to take a humorous look at ourselves, considering that we view each of our issues to contain the best people, places, and topics we explore for your entertainment.

Then, there’s the issue of our advertisers; they have and continue to prove that they are the best—and this is well-known by our readers. These people understand the importance of brand association, but more vital is their commitment to excellence. From real estate professionals, health and medical providers, insurance agencies, to décor, travel, events, and fine dining, there isn’t anyone on our pages that we don’t personally admire, are customers of, or recommend for their outstanding services and products.

At a time when it is difficult to find exceptional quality and value, it’s comforting to know that every month our magazine will lead you to the best of what you need. And while we don’t label anyone with an assurance of greatness, that is what you will find at all of the businesses contained in this issue. H 12 JULY 2018 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

“We can’t thank you enough for the amazing job you did as a Media Partner! In fact, we had a joint meeting of our Board of Directors and Board of Overseers, and I showcased your magazine as part of my presentation—our board members were wowed!!!”

—S.D.S. of Boston “You can’t possibly imagine how many times people have come to me and stated that the June issue of SOCO is THE BEST! And I concur unequivocally.”

RICKETSON’S POINT 16 JULY 2018 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

South Dartmouth’s Most Desirable Retreat

BY STEVEN CHAN | PHOTOGRAPHY BY LUCKI SCHOTZ

NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA | JULY 2018 17

even, Fremont Street is one of the most desirable residences within the boundaries of a peninsula known—only to a few—as Ricketson’s Point. Jetting out into Buzzards Bay, it forms the starting point of the breakwater (a local landmark for navigation) and the eastern shoreline of the prestigious harbor of Padanaram Village.

Privacy is instilled by the sense of quietness and serenity found beyond the gate located at the end of the road where a tasteful entrance firmly directs traffic away from its shores. It’s because of the location and lack of exits; vehicles are limited to owners and their guests, making it a stroller’s paradise.

Peeks of ocean views and gentle breezes during the late afternoon is the main attraction to this destination, but if you combine a secluded and picturesque beach with panoramic views of boat traffic, then the magic of this one-of-a-kind location 18 JULY 2018 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

makes sense why it is the benchmark for luxurious living.

An exceptional property by all measures, it’s surprising this month’s feature made it to publication. An important enclave—for the summer season—the “Point” boasts exclusivity, and when a home becomes available, it doesn’t often make it to the open market.

Those in pursuit of a summer house, with easy access to their primary residence, often take advantage of these rare opportunities.

Also exciting about this new listing is that the home welcomes those interested in a year-round executive residence. With nearby amenities, all within a few short steps, a new owner will be thrilled to be close to the yacht club, restaurants, boutiques, and gourmet shopping.

As one of the most beautiful homes in the area, it’s clear that it didn’t end up looking as it does, by accident; it began with a good design and refined taste.

Visually appealing, this distinctive Acorn Deck House was created by craftspeople who combine their technical skills and a homeowner’s ideas. This cooperative effort is

found throughout Seven Fremont beginning with how the home is placed on the property so that its views are ideally utilized.

Then, the use of natural vegetation in combination with groomed landscaping to preserve surrounding growth creates organic walkways to and from the beach.

Looking for a first-floor bedroom suite—check, a home office—check, and a dramatic great room and kitchen that is called, “A chef ’s dream,” by real estate broker Fatima Simas; yes, it’s all here; with five bedrooms, four and one-half baths, and a studio over the garage.

Throughout the 4,830 square foot structure, the exquisite details of the hardwood f loors, moldings, and wainscoting are breathtakingly beautiful and in perfect condition.

Inside and out, the home is stunning while it instills a feeling of a traditional Nantucket

cottage, but with an openness and greater practicality. Vaulted ceilings offer a sense of grand fortune, with a stairway, balcony, and rotunda which exudes classic elegance within a contemporary design.

With a price point of $1.985 million, this month’s feature home is worth a first, second, even a third look, because supply and demand will dictate who and when this superb example of quality and comfort will exchange owners. H For additional information or to schedule an appointment to view the property, contact Fatima Simas at Anne Whiting Real Estate by calling the office at 508-999-1010, or Fatima directly at 508-287-0003, or annewhitingrealestate.com.

A Different View of the Landscape

The Avenue Concept Thrives in Providence

BY MARGO ROBERTS | PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF THE AVENUE CONCEPT

NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA | JULY 2018 25

Valerie Steele Wrote the Book(s) on Fashion & Style We recently attended a lecture by Valerie Steele in Rhode Island at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) followed by a book signing and dinner at the Faculty Club at Brown University. Steele’s pleasantness and self-confidence shine when in public. Gracious and humble, she triggers a gravitational pull, causing audiences to thirst for more of her insights, while her fans behave as if she were a rock star. We had the opportunity to spend some time with Steele, and she kindly shared her thoughts about a topic of personal passion.

T

he Avenue Concept was the city’s first privately administered public art program. Over the years, organizers have installed or exhibited more than 150 works of public art, with an investment of $1.1 million in both artwork and infrastructure.

A Providence-based nonprofit is an eclectic group of citizens who view their mission as one which nurtures and supports public art ecosystems. And while it has been a fixture in the Rhode Island art community, to those who occasionally visit the city, the effort and talent are too often overlooked.

For first-timers, the exhibits appear to be constructed and placed anonymously, leaving 26 JULY 2018 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

some observers in doubt of how each work is connected to an artist and the organization.

Nevertheless, the result of the individuality of the creative design concepts deliver us with many of the most dramatic and awe inspired expositions found in the northeast.

Curated and balanced throughout the streets of Providence, the public has become witness to a vast selection of materials and unconventional techniques, all giving rise to a museum-like experience in unexpected locations.

These stellar presentations range in size and mediums and are inspired by a committed and talented group of artists.

From an international muralist to sensational sculpture, each work provokes curiosity as to their origins as well as its motivation.

Beginning July 13, the new season will

kick-off and include a press conference to announce the schedule of projects along with an introduction of the Artists in Residence program, as well as a walking tour of The Avenue Concept’s existing public art projects Downtown.

An artist’s reception at the organization’s headquarters in South Providence will also take place for those interested in learning more about the program.

“The body of work produced over these five months will showcase the incredible possibilities for placemaking through public art in Providence and generate real excitement for the impact it can have on the community,” explains Yarrow Thorne, The Avenue Concept’s founder and executive director. “We’re proud of the work we’ve done over the past five years, but it represents only a fraction of our transformative vision for public art. The best work is still to come, and July 13 will mark the beginning of a new phase in our growth.”

Ongoing projects throughout the summer and fall will include several works produced through the Artist in Residence programs; the installation of three new pieces on the permanent sculpture pads, a new large-scale mural at a prominent Downtown location, the temporary exhibition of a significant public art project at Kennedy Plaza, and the launch of a revamped website.

The Avenue Concept nurtures and supports public art ecosystems by investing in permanent infrastructure, funding public art projects, documenting and promoting the work of artists.

Utilizing art as a tool for education, and advocating for policies, processes and partnerships, the goal of the cooperative is to develop sustainable avenues for public art and build an environment in which creativity thrives and creates public art encounters that encourage people to engage and interact with art instead of passively observing it as they pass.

Light Winds, but Plenty of Enthusiasm Marks Newport to Bermuda Sailing Event

O

n Saturday, June 16, 169 boats set sail for the 51st Newport Bermuda Race.

With the combination of light southeast winds and more than one knot of current flowing out of Narragansett Bay, the tide gently pulled the fleet into open water for the start of the race. “In spite of the light conditions,” said Jonathan Brewin, chairman of the Bermuda Race Organizing Committee, “the New York Yacht Club race committee did a stellar job of starting our 17 classes safely.”

Only one boat among the 170 entries in the race failed to start, Araucaria, a 55 footer sailing in the Finisterre Division for amateur vessels using cruising sails. Setting a pre-race course past Whitehawk, the 105-foot starting line boat anchored in the East Passage, a misjudgment of the current resulted in a collision between the boats and the retirement of the smaller Araucaria.

Worth mentioning is the effort by two other, “big boats” in the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division; Steve Murray, Jr. and Stephen Murray Sr.’s Warrior and Reginald Cole’s Proteus—as well as Elvis, Jason Carroll’s Gunboat 62, built a significant lead on the other two boats in the Multihull Division.

The determination of Rambler 88, George David’s 88 foot Juan K design, was visible when they crossed the Gulf Stream and opened a significant gap from the remaining 169 boats.

Meanwhile, with light winds crossing the Gulf Stream, the remaining crews plotted their approach to Bermuda, nursing the best speed from their boats while eying their competitors.

“It is rare to see your competitors on ocean races after the start, but this race has been very different,” wrote Mark D’Arcy from aboard Inisharon, James Murphy’s F&C 44,

The rest of the day provided for relatively light winds with competitors making reasonable progress down the 635mile course toward the finish line at St. David’s Lighthouse on the northeast corner of Bermuda.

David Askew’s Wizard, a Volvo 70 footer, found a better breeze and a good wind-shift on the west side of the rhumb line, as it passed Rambler 88. But the glory didn’t last long when once again the 88 footer pulled ahead.

racing in the Finisterre Division. He went on to add, “Many folks targeting the same Gulf Stream crossing point and because most [of us] are along the rhumb line, we have seen a lot more boats [during] this race.”

RAMBLER 88 TAKES LINE HONORS IN THE 51ST NEWPORT BERMUDA RACE Leaving most of the fleet far behind, George David’s Rambler 88 crossed the finish line off St. David’s Lighthouse at 5:51:51 Eastern

Daylight Time on Sunday evening; earning line honors among the 169 boats racing, the big gray boat’s elapsed time over the 635 mile course was 50 hours, 31 minutes, 51 seconds.

While the wind never did come up to a full-tilt, Rambler 88 was able to maintain double-digit speeds once beyond the Gulf Stream. The rest of the journey placed most of the remaining vessels several hours behind.

As to how things unfolded during the two-plus day adventure, David stated, “This race is typically a mid-sized boat race, and rarely a big-boat race; but, this time it was.

It was almost like the ocean reached out and grabbed the smaller boats, one by one.”

“It was a pretty benign race,” said tactician Brad Butterworth, while he and the rest of the crew enjoyed a traditional Goslings Rum Dark ‘N’ Stormy after landing at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club dock. “There was no water on the deck—at least not back where we were,” he added. “Stan Honey gave us the right direction to head,” he added, “and we pushed it hard.”

Approximately, five hours after Rambler 88 crossed the finish line, two Volvo Ocean Race 70’s, Warrior and Wizard, crossed as second and third, 17 minutes apart. George Sakellaris’ Maxi 72 Proteus finished fourth, an hour and a half later.

Just before dawn, Jason Carroll’s Elvis finished first in the Multihull Division, a first in more ways than one as the 2018 race was the first Newport Bermuda Race to include multihulls. Elvis’ other competitors, Tribe and Arethusa, were still well back on the racecourse as of 1100 EDT Monday.

As of noon, (at press-time), the rest of the fleet continued to sail in very light winds in the middle of a high-pressure area. Steve Benjamin’s Spookie was the first to sail into better winds and, at 1100 EDT Monday was making 9 knots, more than 40 miles in front of Privateer and Merlin.

I

BY LINDA BERTRUM

f the introduction of this tome by the publisher, “Searching for a way to divorce in the eighteenth century” isn’t enough to spark interest, then the fact-based accounts of a woman who walked along the same streets as modern-day femmes-fatales, may be enough to create a curiosity about this true-life tale.

Researched and footnoted, the life experiences of colonial Newport is eyeopening. Here is an account by Elaine Crane in Part one entitled, “The Story.”

“If Boston was older and New York bigger, Newport was just as cosmopolitan. The center of town was a compact collection of colorful shops and houses; commercial prosperity brought development and noise.”

“The Arnold home, on Thames Street, gave Mary ample opportunity to take stock of the people in her adopted town. Mary lived in a centrally located neighborhood, one within a convenient walking distance of her needs and interests. The records do not disclose whether she took notice of the slaves paving and repairing the streets she walked, but whatever her mission on any particular day, urban din accompanied her.”

“Nearly one hundred manuscript pages contain the elements of a narrative in which Mary Ward Arnold is accused of poisoning her husband, who responded to such malice by divorcing her.”

These short accounts offer a glimpse of Crane’s relationship between players and readers. Factually based, the writer ingenuously turns these figures into

contemporary characters; with elements of stalking and plotting with the intent to end a partner’s life; it’s almost comical that we learn not much has changed over the centuries.

Most astonishing about The Poison Plot is that it isn’t a quick read. Each line, every description and familiar location takes time to absorb; the reader becomes part of the scene—much like an observer or “nosey neighbor.”

As hard as it might seem to comprehend, once you are brought into the story, there is no resisting the urge to continue turning the pages for more of the unnatural, and devious behavior.

Much is learned about a woman’s role in Colonial Newport, but more fascinating is how and what we learn about their resistance at a time where they were stifled and oppressed.

Women of today will either be pleased with the progress made since the eighteenth century or find their anger heightened because it took so long to be heard.

Regardless of feelings, the story told

by Crane is uniquely intriguing and one of the most thoughtful and interesting accounts of a place we believe we knew.

Her masterful narration is explicit and is fortified by history.

Outstanding Merit for a Distinguished Career Dr. Mel Yoken Receives the French Legion of Honor Medal

BY STEVEN CHAN

T

hose lacking knowledge of such affairs may presume that awards by foreign countries are merely symbolic and generously bequest to individuals having not secured a significant role in country’s history. But, unlike a paid speaker who receives an honorary degree at a university commencement, the medal of honor is for specific achievements and is taken seriously.

When SouthCoast resident and professor, Dr. Mel Yoken, was awarded France’s highest order of merit; the Legion of Honor Medal, created by Napoleon in 1802, and decreed

by Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, its significance prevailed.

In a profound effort to show France’s appreciation for all Dr. Yoken has done to promote and sustain the language and culture of the country, Consul General, Valéry Freland, (at his official residence in Cambridge, Massachusetts), extolled upon Dr. Yoken’s benevolent career, and pinned 38 JULY 2018 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

the award to his lapel as family, colleagues, and guests gathered around.

Freland reiterated that Dr. Yoken, an educator, and community leader, has joined the ranks of the few in the world to be honored by France due to his devotion and commitment to the heritage and the growth of the nation.

Dr. Yoken, Chancellor Professor Emeritus of French Language and Literature at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, received his master’s degree from Brown University, and his Ph.D. from The Five College Program. Officially retired from teaching, he remains involved with a long list of campus-related activities at UMass Dartmouth, retains the directorship of the Boivin Center of French language and Literature, and is program chair and former president of The Claire T. Carney Library Associates.

In addition to his exhaustive schedule, Dr. Yoken produces numerous programs at UMass-Dartmouth, the Tifereth Israel

Synagogue in New Bedford, and Brown University located in Providence, along with the countless committees and associations— both local and national, that he is a member.

Freland emphasized Dr. Yoken’s devotion of 50 years to teaching French language, culture, and literature which has enriched thousands of students. His leadership in exchange programs, a prolific writer of eight books in French, and his long-standing career as a compelling speaker made him the ideal candidate for this recognition.

Dr. Yoken has often been recognized for his unique and voluminous archives of invaluable French letters stored at Brown University, as well as thousands of written correspondences with notable and historical figures of all walks of life.

Adding a sense of humility and comic relief to the occasion, Freland was heard at the conclusion of the program uttering some valuable advice to Dr. Yoken when he said, “Now, don’t lose it.” H

THE SUMMER SEASON’S

BEST OF THE BEST SEAFOOD AND COMEDY EVENTS

BY JAMES HOLDEN

40 JULY 2018 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

BEST COMEDY FESTIVAL: NANTUCKET COMEDY FESTIVAL hile it may not be a seafood festival, it is a significant event.

Whether you attend or donate to the cause, know it will be a worthwhile endeavor. Plus, the island is home to plenty of fresh seafood to go around after you’ve “Laugh[ed] your ACK off!”

The Nantucket Comedy Festival began in 2007 when professional stand-up comic, Kevin Flynn learned of the horrific rash of teen suicides that were occurring on the island. Understanding the healing power of laughter, he decided to make a difference by

W

applying his craft to those who need it most.

Flynn reached out to a group of nationally recognized comics and requested they join him in donating their time and talent to support a comedy festival during the summer. It was a hit, and with its success, the group went on to launch Stand-Up & Learn workshops for island youth.

This year’s four-day festival will be headlined by two well-known funny men, Steven Wright and Ron White.

Performances include kids from the island program, local comedians, and a women’s only, “Lunch & Laugh” gathering at the White Elephant ballroom.

To get into the mood and turn that frown into a smile, visit, nantucketcomedyfestival. org, and become part of the solution.

The festival runs, July 11–14.

BEST CLAM FESTIVAL: YARMOUTH CLAM FESTIVAL YARMOUTH, MAINE ou’ve got to hand it to Mainer’s as they appear to corner the market when it comes to seafood festivals, and this one has been going for 54 years. Not far from wherever you call home, the easy ride up to

Y

Yarmouth will be worth the trip to enjoy the laid-back lifestyle found in this coastal town.

An event unlike others, organizers are planning a parade, crafts and art show, the State of Maine’s clam shucking contest, musical acts, a firefighters muster—plus great food for the three-day weekend.

With volunteers expected to serve more than 6000 pounds of clams, 6000 lobster rolls, 2500 pancake breakfasts, 2000 shore dinners, 400 pies and 6000 strawberry shortcakes; all followed by around 13,500 Lime Rickeys (remember those?), you won’t have to stray further than the event grounds for home-town fun and hospitality.

Scheduled for July 20–22, day-trippers will appreciate that the excursion can be accomplished in a day, while those planning

for a weekend will find plenty of suitable accommodations nearby.

For more information visit, clamfestival.com.

LONGEST RUNNING, AND BEST LOBSTER FESTIVAL: MAINE LOBSTER FESTIVAL, ROCKPORT or over seven decades, the Maine Lobster Festival launched in March of 1947 to create buzz and bring back tourism after the war; so, began the Camden-Rockport event.

During the early years, organizers didn’t know much about running this type of event so when they advertised “All the lobster you can eat for $1”, the initial event went bust, and they lost interest. Meanwhile, the Rockland Junior Chamber of Commerce garnered support and kicked off the second event in 1948. With the induction of a parade, a coronation of Miss Maine Seafood, a concert, and of course delicious Maine Lobster, the party drew praise and was followed by success.

As the event grew in popularity, the crowds and length of the festival did also.

With guests arriving from almost 80 countries and citizens from as far away as Hawaii, it seemed that assurance came easy.

In an attempt to keep the festival

interesting, in the late 70’s–80’s, carnival rides, games, and sideshow infiltrated the grounds, only to be followed by a few years of poor weather and rising costs. In the early part of 1990, it was announced that the festival was to be canceled.

But, with swift reaction, the community rallied and began to revitalize the event.

Today, the Maine Lobster Festival is one of states premier events and continues to draw guests from all points of the world. Its popularity has the brought the attention of nearly every news outlet in addition to being recognized as one to the Top 100 Events in North America.

Today the organization is a significant philanthropic community benefactor to a long list of well-deserving groups; with about a half-million dollars poured into causes, it has made strides to improve the quality of life for local town’s people.

Through the efforts of thousands of volunteers, the success of the event continues to grow and builds community spirit and pride.

The 71st Maine Lobster Festival kicks off at noon on Wednesday, August 1, and offers up a boat-load of excitement and

food through Sunday, August 5.

THE BEST CHOWDER COOK-OFF: THE CHOWDAFEST IN WESTPORT CONNECTICUT he last thing we want to do is raise the ire of the thousands of chefs and the hundreds of chowder festivals that take place throughout the northeast.

Practically, every seaside location has an event that touts what they believe to be the best, clam, quahog, corn, bisque or soup. Thick, thin, with cream or broth, Manhattan to Rhode Island style, each competes for the ranking as “the best” but what’s important to recognize is that they all clear the path to the New England Chowdafest in Westport, Connecticut.

Claiming to be the number one Chowder Event in New England, this exceedingly popular seaside contest should bring out the competitiveness of all other festivals—if, for nothing else, it could end up becoming a teachable moment.

The event held at Sherwood Island Park— along the waterfront—offers an unlimited sampling of chowder from more than forty award-winning chefs and restaurants from every part of New England. Categories include; best chowder, soup, and bisque.

From this lineup, there are five categories the hungry public judge: Classic New England Clam Chowder, Traditional Chowders, (Manhattan & Rhode Island)—we told you so—Creative Chowder, Soup/Bisque, and new for this year, Vegetarian recipes.

And, as every late-night infomercial will tell you; there’s even more! Included is an Italian-themed section, “Ciao Dafest” where attendees will sample artisan bread dipped in premium sauces, along with mixed salads.

For those with the largest of appetites, the Chowdafest has an area known as Sweet Treats where guests will find fresh farm milk, ice cream, cookies, pies, yogurt, and cheeses.

This year’s event will be held Sunday, September 30, with gates opening at 11:00 a.m. and will conclude at 3:00 p.m.

Sherwood Island Park is a manageable ride along Interstate 95 to exit 18. Parking is free, and tickets are reasonably priced at $20.00 for adults and kids ages six through twelve only $5.00—what a deal.

The Best New England Has to Offer

BY JAMES HOLDEN | PHOTOGRAPHY BY LUCKI SCHOTZ

(NEF), an online gift— or as we like to call it— a self-satisfying reward company.

Whether you like to get treats in the mail each month, find yourself lost when you need to make a good impression or are forever undecided as to what to buy someone for a gift at a bargain, this company that takes the hassles out of the transaction.

H

ere is a company befitting our best of the best issue; knowing full well it’s difficult to find or trust an online retailer to deliver what they promise, once we were pleased, we decided to share our discovery.

All too often “great ideas” are predictably the rehashing of another person’s concept polished—and repackaged. Then, there’s concern about quality and value; this is often a deal-breaker before you even get to the check out; sound familiar?

Well, let your heart be still, and pocketbook relieved because we’ve found a regional company with good people at the wheel. Matt Gianino, co-founder, and chief curator, Melissa Gianino, co-founder, and Liz Hanson, social media coordinator, make up the leadership of New England’s Finest 44 JULY 2018 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

WHAT WE EXPERIENCED We sampled the NEF’s delicious Chocolate Lovers Box, (retail price of $49), and that includes delivery.

Inside we found, as they describe; six handselected items consisting of Bixby & Co.’s Dark Chocolate + Raspberry + Quinoa from Maine; CB Stuffer’s Dark Mini Peanut Butter Cups, Taza Chocolate Coconut Almond Dark Bark, McCrea’s Candies Dark Roasted Mocha Caramels, and Harbor Sweets’ Salt & Avre Assorted Salted Chocolates all from Massachusetts.

And a Rhode Island-based Goodnow Farms’ Esmeraldas Dark Chocolate Bar. The packing is protective of the contents and the box sturdy, created from recycled materials; all made in America. Most will be pleased to find that the exterior is printed with attractive graphics, making it unnecessary to wrap when given as a gift.

These gourmet quality products are easy to order, and delivery is quick. In fact, that is how the company explains the process, “You Subscribe—We Curate & Deliver—You Enjoy,” and honestly, it is that easy.

Month after month your box of treats arrives ready to be eaten or given as a gift that will make you a star in the eyes of the lucky recipient. Of course, you can order a single box, but once you try any of New England’s Finest Boxes, you’ll likely want to try out all of them.

Other gift-boxes include Late-Night Snack Box which includes Jarva Cakes’ Dark Chocolate Velvet Lava Cake of Maine. The Perfect Morning Box, complete with Sacred Cow Granola from Rhode Island, and the Backyard BBQ Box with Halladay Harvest Barn’s Backyard BBQ Rub of Vermont.

Finally, if you want to save even more money, sign up for the company newsletter and get 10% off your first order—it’s a great incentive to get started with the organization.

If we sound excited, it’s because we are; but more than that, we’re pleased New England’s Finest is the best online gourmet treat company we’ve ever found. H For more information and to see all of their products visit, NewEnglandsFinest.com.

It’s the End of the Line and the Start of Something Big THE VOLVO OCEAN RACE BRINGS AWARENESS TO OCEANS IN PERIL

n a matter of days, this story and the exciting visuals which accompany it was added to the other features planned for our July edition. The manuscript was edited, proofed, and pre-press was completed—a new issue is born.

What you need to know is that the timing of this feature is at odds with the finish of the 48 JULY 2018 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

Volvo Ocean Race which will end when the first boat crosses the finish line on or at least close to Sunday, June 24; at the entrance to Scheveningen Harbour, The Hague; we will not have launched until days after.

But, looking back just weeks ago, the thrill and glory of the crews and support staff who sailed and flew into Newport hasn’t wholly

dimmed. For those who relished in the experience, impressions remain bright in many hearts and minds, because there was more to the event than sailing.

For those of us who spent time on the ground, covering the uneventful arrival, the spectacular races, plus the added feature of making new contacts and friends, we won’t

forget the gloomy weather that followed the fleet into the harbor and persisted until the last day.

But, as a metaphor, unexpectedly—at the last hour, the sun broke through the clouds and the fog burned off just as the final in-port race was to begin, leaving spectators a clear view of the massive sails bellowing and their

sleek designs racing under the landmark, Claiborne Pell, (Newport) Bridge.

For many, the message or event theme may have been lost due to the fanfare and excitement this sort of extravagance creates; although we hope not. For everyone else, the basic principles instilled an awareness that it’s time we look at how we are poisoning our environment.

According to the organizations sponsoring the race, “Eight million [tons] of plastic are dumped into the ocean every year, [equal to] a whole garbage truck [emptied] every minute.

It means that if no action is taken the ocean will contain more plastic than fish by 2050.”

Scientific Reports as well as other sources, (see theoceancleanup.com), describe the NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA | JULY 2018 49

Pacific Ocean as a “giant dumpster” and the “floating” island of trash known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, (GPGP) covers approximately 600,000 square miles. Items such as plastic crates—produced in 1977— was pulled from the enormous waste which clings together and scoops up more as it slowly moves with the tide.

It was great to see this world-wide event walk the talk by placing pure-water fountains around Fort Adams, as well as recycling bins and trash receptacles indicating “what goes where.” Another, subtle but significant contribution that organizers made was to have waste monitors continuously picking up any trash that got away and fell to the ground— job well done.

Recently, New England Patriot’s quarterback, Tom Brady, took a heroic stand against the use of plastic straws, a severe culprit in the fight against world-wide contamination, and he was viciously mocked by fans, celebrities and those who are unaware of the seriousness of this issue.

Many of us laugh at or become jaded cynics 50 JULY 2018 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

when we hear talk about banning plastic bags by local officials, but while we often need to question the decisions they make, could this be the one that is based on solid research?

The issue of polluting our world has been long fought, with many in the population possessing the naïve notion that the seas were off-limits and safe.

The meaning of the Volvo Ocean Race wasn’t wasted, (no pun intended). In fact, it is an encouraging message and a call for all of us to be aware of our footprint on the earth; as most hikers know; “take out what you bring in” to the forest, and as for sailors, “bring back what you take out,” to sea.

Maybe it’s time to pledge to find alternatives to how we create trash

and consider becoming less wasteful and follow recommendations for saving our environment, after all, that is what this incredible event was meant to do.

Best of luck and we wish all participants a safe journey home. H For additional information visit, volvooceanrace.com and under the menu tab locate Sustainability.

The 23rd Greenwich Concours d’Elegance SURPASSES ALL EXPECTATIONS

BY STEVEN CHAN & JUDY STROPUS PHOTOGRAPHY BY LUCKI SCHOTZ

52 JULY 2018 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

...It is very exciting to have so many people in the collector car world gathering in Greenwich...

ecognized as one of the most prestigious classic cars shows in the United States, the 23rd Greenwich Concours d’Elegance, attracted over 13,000 visitors, while Bonham’s Auction House conducted a successful sale of over $10 million and a sell-through rate of 92 percent in one day of selling.

It was perfect weather for a classic automobile show at the Roger Sherman Baldwin Park on the shore of Greenwich Harbor on Long Island Sound in June.

Thousands of guests, fans, and buyers of the most fascinating cars ever built strolled the grounds to admire and enjoy the appeal of vehicles from every roadway and period.

From hobbyist to international collectors, they mingled and discussed the glamor and allure of styles and designs of what may have been the largest assembly of vehicles of its kind.

The Briggs Cunningham collection headlined the event as a significant array of

domestic marques where on display Saturday, followed by an impressive group of imports held on Sunday.

The fine automobiles of the late Briggs Cunningham wowed attendees, and of the 35 remaining Cunningham-built cars, 33 were on the field, along with five Cunningham team race cars, four continuation cars, and Cunningham’s personal 1955 Thunderbird.

The exhibit of the Cunningham cars from around the country was organized by “Barn Find Hunter” Tom Cotter and Cunningham collector and historian Charles Schoendorf.

Lined up along the waterfront was also the 1952 C-4R Le Mans roadster from the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia, and most of the 25 Vignalebodied C-3 coupes and cabriolets.

“This [is] the most comprehensive collection of Cunningham race cars, touring cars and team cars assembled at one time and place, ever, including at the factory,” says Schoendorf. “A turnout of cars like this will

not happen any time soon, if ever.”

Cunningham, who died in 2003 at the age of 96, is best known as an America’s Cup skipper, race-car builder, driver and team owner. He made the Greens Farms section of Westport, Connecticut, his home from the ‘20s through the ‘60s. He fielded his early race cars for Sam and Cowles “Miles” Collier out of his carriage house and later kept his car collection there before moving it out of state.

The Cunningham family remained at the Greens Farms compound until the death of his daughter Lucie Cunningham McKinney in 2014.

Miles Collier, one of America’s premier car collectors, and founder of The Revs Institute were honored as Grand Marshal for this year’s event. The Revs Institute in Naples, Florida, includes the Collier Collection, with 115 automobiles of particular historical and technological importance.

The Institute, which fosters a more relevant understanding of the transformative role NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA | JULY 2018 53

54 JULY 2018 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

of the automobile, also includes the Revs Digital Library of about 500,000 automotive photographs, with emphasis on racing scenes, and a research library with over 20,000 book titles and complete runs of automotive periodicals in English, French, Italian and German.

The weekend also featured a presentation of, “A Century of Competition Motorcycles,”

by American Iron Magazine publisher Buzz Kanter, which showcase race bikes of various styles from the early 1900s to the present. “I’ve heard motorcycle racing started when the first motorcycle rider came across another on the road. And it’s been full throttle ever since,” Kanter says.

“This year’s Concours [has] the best display of cars and motorcycles ever,” says Concours Chairman Mary Wennerstrom. “We have collectors coming from all over North America, including Canada, nearly half of the 50 states and, of course, Connecticut.

It is very exciting to have so many people in the collector car world gathering in Greenwich. And we are honored to have Miles Collier serve as our Grand Marshal.”

Race-car driver and TV motorsports commentator David Hobbs was on hand both days to sign copies of his new book, Hobbo: Motor Racer, Motor Mouth, and drove up to the podium with Nick Grewal in Grewal’s 1965 Lola T70, which Hobbs had raced in the 1960s. The car was awarded the Lime Rock Park Historic Fall Festival Best in Class trophy, presented by track owner Skip Barber.

Wayne Carini, the host of televisions Chasing Classic Cars, and journalist Ken Gross, held special presentations each day on the field, introducing fans to fascinating cars, such as a 1938 Jaguar SS 100 that belonged to Dave Garroway, the original host of NBC’s Today Show. Carini bought the SS 100 at the Concours from its current owner.

Dr. Fred Simeone, of the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, accepted the Best in Class Cars of Briggs Cunningham Award for the 1952 Cunningham C-4R Roadster that raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Two C-4Rs were built, and both were at the Concours.

Real-life excitement filled the warm spring air when Bonhams’ International team of experts took to the stage for their 11th Annual Automobile Auction at the Greenwich Show.

A time-honored tradition and a world-class event, decades of an impressive and a diverse

group of vehicles were offered for public consumption. Under the large white tents, automobiles of every size and description appeared on the screen, while the vehicles surrounded the impromptu auction house setting. Hundreds of bidders, along with a large crowd of spectators pensively listened to the fast-paced results of the auction.

The beneficiary of the Greenwich Concours

for the 23rd year is Americares, a healthfocused relief and development organization that responds to people affected by poverty or disaster with life-changing health programs, medicine, and medical supplies.

THE CAPITALIZATION OF GENETIC MATERIAL RAISES THE QUESTION,

ARE DNA TESTS INHERENTLY FLAWED?

BY ROB SAINT LAURENT, MED

ou’ve seen them advertised on television or noticed their packaging on pharmacy shelves. They come with names such as 23andme and Identigene. With their manufacturers making claims that users can identify ancestral background, they ostensibly put to rest paternity suspicions, improve wellbeing through targeted fitness and dieting, and even determine disease susceptibility.

As described in a Daily Mail article, do-ityourself DNA tests have soared in popularity in recent years, with the number of UK websites doubling between 2012 and 2014.1 Ancestry and paternity tests have been particularly popular among Brits, while sales for disease vulnerability tests have also risen.

In the US, direct-to-consumer/DTC tests have been available for over a decade, with sales recently spiking from celebrity endorsement of family history testing, along with actress Angelina Jolie using genetic testing as a basis for a double mastectomy in 2013.

Their general mode of operation: One secures a saliva sample in a tube that is registered with a barcode and mailed to a lab. After six to eight weeks, once genetic make-up is assayed and compared to a reference (called genotyping), results are posted to a personal web page.

Fathered by a mostly unregulated industry, consumers would be wise to consider how legitimate and safe these at-home kits are.

advertising nutrigenetic testing for disease prevention through targeted lifestyle change. They purchased several kits per company at $89– $395 each, setting up 14 fictitious consumers.

Among key findings, three problem areas had surfaced. While GAO’s fictitious consumers were said to be at risk of severe diseases including diabetes, cancer, and osteoporosis, sellers (1) claim no intention of diagnosing illness; (2) research concerning the genetics-disease connection is yet in its infancy with many unresolved issues; and (3) test results used much ambiguous language, rendering them useless. (“May be at increased risk of heart disease,” for example, could apply to anyone submitting DNA.) Further, corrective nutrition products were being sold through these manufacturers at prices many times higher than generics. These products were said to be matched to consumers’ unique DNA which, in fact, proved to be fallacious as two consumers of opposite genders had received identical products.

Submitting the same DNA for nine fictitious consumers, investigators found that varying results were received, proving that results had been based on questionnaire answers and not DNA. Likewise, when four samples from one person were submitted, four different results were received.

Following Kutz was Kathy Hudson, Ph.D., founder-director of Johns Hopkins University’s Genetics and Public Policy Center and an EXPERT WITNESS associate professor of bioethics at JHU’s Institute Ten years ago, at the outset of DTC test of Genetic Medicine. Dr. Hudson underscored marketing, the US Government Accountability GAO’s finding that the at-home testing industry Office asked this same question—a comprelacks proper oversight—in many cases lab hensive attempt to nip potential consumer certification by the Centers for Medicaid and fraud in the bud.

In their defense, the second panel consisted of reps from three of the four companies evaluated: Sciona, Suracell, and Genelex (the other being Market America), along with two lab contractors (Clinical Data and Genox).

The companies emphasized that their purpose is to aide informed adults in making appropriate lifestyle improvements to counter internal damage and epigenetic change from oxidation, glycation, inflammation, poor DNA repair, etc.

They did not deny assertions of certification issues or privacy concerns.

While Kutz and Hudson both advocate the potential benefit of genetic tests for predicting disease risk; they, former Oregon Senator Gordon Smith, and many others expressed concerned that consumers are being misled with at-home products causing undue fear; spending $1,200– $1,800 annually on follow-up products; and feeling compelled to withhold such information or risk being denied a mortgage or life insurance for example.

The third panel included the Food and Drug Administration, which has been reluctant to get involved in regulating so-called “homebrew” DNA tests. Though in 2010 the FDA announced plans to expand oversight over all genetic tests, this has yet to occur according to the National Institutes of Health.3 In 2006 and again in 2008, the Federal Trade Commission warned consumers that “no standards govern the reliability or quality of at-home genetic tests. The FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that genetic tests be done in a specialized laboratory and that a doctor or counselor with specialized training interprets the results.” A similar investigation of at-home kits was conducted in the UK, along with a second GAO investigation in 2010, both producing similar results adding to the credibility of these findings.

RESISTING THREATS, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC CAN YOU BUILD IMMUNITY?

BY ROB SAINT LAURENT, MED

I

n 2018, personal health freedom is threatened from every direction.

Many sources, including the Centers for Disease Control and National Institutes of Health, document remarkable increases in illnesses such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, antibiotic resistance and killer viruses. At the same time, many of us run ragged with schedules chock-full from dawn to dusk as we subsist on questionable air, water and food, leaving us vulnerable.

Moreover, as one blogger opines, there is no incentive to find expensive disease cures in a capitalist economy where profit is the ultimate motive. Large-scale government grant programs that incentivize research and development for significant disease cures are needed, similar to the Food and Drug Administration’s smallerscale Orphan Drug program for rare diseases.

Otherwise, it makes more fiscal sense to have consumers purchase monthly drug refills as they would disposable razors.1 As the world enters a revealing Biblical period in which pestilence, earth events, and other hardships are foretold to rise, now is as good a time as ever to reflect on optimizing health.

FACT OR FICTION Is the notion of boosting the immune system sound?

Harvard Medical School explains that immunity is an incredibly complex “system” 58 JULY 2018 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

that needs to be in balance to work correctly and isn’t fully understood. To date, there are no proven associations between health behavior and enhanced resistance.2 A work in progress, studies are underway to determine how diet, exercise, age, mental stress and other factors influence the immune system. In the meantime, they suggest that a more active immune system doesn’t make you healthier. In theory, HMS says a hyperactive immune response could result in allergic reactions to everyday nontoxic substances, leading to autoimmune disease.3 SO WHAT’S WITHIN OUR PURVIEW? HMS recommends the following behaviors for supporting healthy immunity: avoid smoking/smoke, follow a diet high in fruits and vegetables, exercise, keep a healthy weight and blood pressure, drink alcohol only moderately if at all, get enough sleep, wash hands often and cook meats well, minimize stress and, controversially, observe recommended immunizations (especially for those over 65).

Every bodily system, including immunity, works better when protected from environmental assaults and supported by such healthy actions, they state.

These actions should take priority the older one gets since studies show the elderly are more likely to get (and die from) infectious disease.

FIVE-POINT PLAN Below is a more specific outline of best practices for reducing inflammation, maintaining immunity and protecting overall health.

1. Let Food Be Thy Medicine A Mediterranean-style diet is widely considered one of the healthiest ways of eating. It consists mainly of plant-based foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts), healthy monounsaturated fats such as olive oil, and avocado, limited red meat and a substitute of poultry and fish; especially coldwater species as salmon and sardines which are high in EPA/DHA omega-3 fatty acids). It also suggests moderate dairy, the avoidance of processed meats, and sugarsweetened beverages.

A healthy diet supports a healthy microbiome, or gut bacteria, which promotes healthy immunity. However, pesticides and other environmental toxins can upset this delicate balance. Having shown high levels of toxins in research, the Environmental Working Group advises the following foods be purchased in the organic form: strawberries, spinach, nectarines, apples, grapes, peaches, cherries, pears, tomatoes, celery, potatoes and sweet bell peppers.

HMS recommends limiting daily saturated fat and sugar intake (excessive sugar and artificial sweeteners particularly harmful to

immunity) to 10 percent of daily calories.

Additionally, a restricted feeding window of 8-12 hours may help promote proper bodyweight and better health.

Where the differences intersect, it’s easy to miss the point.

BY ANDREW AARON, LICSW

M

#METWO: CONSIDERING MEN en and women are different. What is difficult to determine is just how different we are. At a time when the #MeToo movement has raised this issue in the national conversation, the differences between women and men are at risk of being confused with wounds, anger, and power.

Sex and sexuality are at the cutting edge of the gender differences, a place where disparities are illuminated. Being male and writing about this topic risks sparking the dry tinder of rage. I’m not an apologist for men who brought their power and sexuality hurtfully and inappropriately into relationships with women. Such actions are not to be tolerated, and a little hurtfulness is too much hurtfulness.

Women have rightly demanded safety, respect, equality, and to have their concerns be taken seriously; The #MeToo movement has laid a foundation for these assurances.

There is a vein of rage that runs through any discussion about male gender, similar to a fuse which gets successively lit by the parade of revelations of inappropriate sexual acts of men violating women. It has become obvious that the issue of gender and relations is a complex one, with multiple layers, nuances, and subtleties.

The conversation brings us to the acknowledgment that there is a risk of overshooting a balance point by the spread of emotional 60 JULY 2018 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

fire. Judgment and blame are not a part of a successful effort to heal an injured party, but women have felt powerless and victimized, and we can only expect justifiable outrage.

Male sexual expression, welcome or unwelcome, can often be linked to an attempt to obliterate feelings of powerlessness and shame; it is an effort to feel better.

Daily, we are bombarded with stories of another woman harassed, abused or violated by a man. And whether it is sexual or not, is a question left to the exploration of its etiology.

In the mental health field, conventional wisdom has held that roughly one in three women have been abused, but given that many incidents go unreported the number is probably closer to 50 percent—perhaps, even higher. Males are abused at a lower rate, the vicinity of 20 to 30 percent, by all estimations.

For the most part, men are good, loving, and peaceful.

However, we need first admit that there are troubled men in the population, and the problem is alarming.

A conversation about how women need solidarity and empowerment is necessary, but, we should be concerned as to why the succession of stories about mistreatment of women by men has not raised a discussion about what is wrong with men in today’s society?

In epidemic proportions, men struggle with “porn addiction,” more accurately known as sexual compulsivity. It’s not because they are morally corrupt, but instead, these men are troubled and hurting emotionally. Engaging in online sexual activity is a desperate obsession and an effort to instill a sense of worthiness and lovability over deep-seated shame.

Male audiences flood the U.S. porn industry with a revenue stream estimated at over $10 billion annually; certainly not the symptom or tendency of a healthy, and empowered group.

Conversely, the female equivalent to soothe internal shame is the compulsive struggle women have with negative body image and the unhealthy entanglement with food or shopping for example. Women also seek sex in unhealthy ways so they may settle unwanted fears of being undesirable or unloved, but they do so in ways that are less aggressive.

A mostly unknown factor and issue of male sexuality and the male value system show up as a feeling of shame, while in the female world it manifests itself as rejection.

Men internalize shameful messages and are often learned during early development. Hearing and seeing that men are corrupt—subtly or blatantly—from influential women during a boy’s emotional growth, (only to be accelerating by advertisers who identify this as an opportunity to reach the female audience by making men look foolish or inept), adds fuel to the fire. Then as men harm women, the female population become more fearful and angry resulting in a stronger negative image of males.

Morality is much kinder to female sexuality. Male fantasy literature and pornography are tolerated while chronically teetering on the edge of banishment, while the female equivalent, romance novels, and female-oriented loves stories, provoke no such debate. Female-oriented movies of empowerment typically include a demonized male abuser or

Living Well continued from page 56 rapist; such films are not a target of moral judgment, yet function in the female world the same way porn does in the male world. Both are satisfying because they relieve pain and shame to the participant.

But let’s be clear, under no circumstances am I promoting pornography or attaching any valuation upon it. It so happens that male sexuality gets expressed erotically by breaking the whole into parts—I shall explain.

It’s a common male tendency to charge specific sex acts and female body parts erotically, and this repetitive action can be traced to all other areas of their lives because men break the whole into pieces. But, this issue is troubling since the process results in women being reduced, disrespected, and objectified.

Some aspects of the male world are quite cruel; the military or a maleoriented organization, often display the breaking of the whole into parts resulting in the formation of a rigid, highly structured, and hierarchical arrangement. On the surface, the military seems to support the successful taming of men’s painful shame and controlling of their sexual impulses by instilling pride and honor—but this is far from the truth.

As women are increasingly entering the military incidences of sexual assault and sexual harassment have skyrocketed. This violence suggests that the apparent success of this method of sublimating aggression is failing.

Historically, male violence and destructiveness are viewed dismissively as “boys will be boys.” Men often get a pass because of testosterone; with an excuse like, “that’s just how men are.”

If men become doctors, educators, civil rights leaders and loving fathers who demonstrate a capacity to channel their energies morally and constructively, why are prisons maxed-out with 90 percent of those incarcerated being male?

Of single parent homes, over 80 percent are headed by a singular woman, begging the question, “What is happening to our men?”

If we believe men can do better, we need to view the current crisis of female sexual abuse as a “man problem” for which a solution needs to be found.

In an ocean of shifting social and gender changes, men are being lost in the dust of female advancement. They are confused about their influence or relevance. With hyperbole, such as, “Do we need men,” males are destined to question their new place in the modern world.

Women have an opportunity to do better. Within the feelings of hurt and anger, women will not benefit from demonizing men; instead, it will be the humanizing of them that will begin to take effect.

Understanding a male’s severe pathology is the first step. Anger, no matter how justified, is an ineffective tool for healing. Granted, less emotionally aware, men have not matured collectively, and they will not change as one large group.

Men tend to prefer denial over conscious healing. For the most part, they follow a pattern of behavior and language which causes them to avoid any situation which may result in them looking or feeling weak. It is because of this they often stop from entering conscious acknowledgment.

Men are desperate to live up to what they believe is a real man and to appear strong in every facet of their lives. They feel shamed when they don’t measure up and will defend against their failures resulting in the formation of narcissistic tendencies. This reaction can be compared to an emotional veil used to cover up personal pain and vulnerability.

Join us next month, for the second part of this discussion. H Andrew Aaron, LICSW is a sex and relationship therapist who practices in the New Bedford Seaport.

In many of these DTC tests, the devil may be in the details.

For instance, 23andme’s terms of service bind consumers to a “waiver of property rights” in which they forfeit any right to compensation from “any research or commercial products that include or result from your genetic information or self-reported information.”

In the same way, Sciona has a disclaimer asserting its “unlimited rights to consumers’ information.”

Greg Kutz had testified that although his consumers’ DNA was promised to be destroyed, other health professionals seemingly outside the manufacturers’ purview had unexpectedly contacted them.

What’s more, 23andme is co-founded and headed by Anne Wojcicki, who was married for eight years to billionaire Google co-creator Sergey Brin—Google now with documented ties to the National Security Agency, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and other globalist functionaries.4 This light alone should give pause when contemplating such confidential data in the hands of those whom they don’t know.

As Craig Macpherson, marketing expert and founder of dnatestchoice. com notes, the British government openly supports the idea of a national genetic database for (purported) guidance on health spending.1 In reality, DNA is the ultimate prize for those seeking total control through biological manipulation and transhumanism—mixing man and machine through, for example, implantable RFID chips.5 As we slide toward a New World Order of one-world government/ religion/economy, with never-ending cyber attacks, there is just no way of assuring nothing untoward will happen with human genetic data.

GENETIC ASTROLOGY Just as supportive data is needed to determine disease vulnerability, the non-profit Sense about Science explains that it’s impossible to read DNA as a map of one’s ancestry without historical evidence.

Though DNA contains enormous amounts of genetic information, the vast majority tells a story about population migration patterns and not individual family trees. That is to say, all humans share the vast majority of DNA with far-removed ancestors, with very little directly inherited from specific relatives—even those who lived just generations ago. By themselves, these tests can only provide general ancestry identification (Northern European, for instance).

Says Steve Jones, emeritus professor of genetics at University College London, “In a long trudge through history, two parents, four grandparents and so on, very soon everyone runs out of ancestors and has to share them. As a result, almost every Briton is a descendant of Viking hordes, Roman legions…or anyone else they fancy.”1 Echoing this remark, UCLA professor of evolutionary genetics Mark Thomas says, “Ancestry is complicated and very messy. Genetics is even messier. The idea that we can read our ancestry directly from our genes is absurd.”1 In the end, though these test kits may have value insofar as ascertaining one’s biological fatherhood or ideal fitness regimen, it’s a business after all.

That business, according to Thomas, is genetic astrology. H Rob Saint Laurent, MEd, is a health writer and editor.
