HOPE Hello,

Where to begin? It’s difficult because, without a doubt, this is one of the most challenging issues we’ve had to organize.

Weeks ago, we began working with excitement, and as usual, we planned to improve our readers’ experience.

Unfortunately, our intentions were interrupted, and although we have been able to make a few changes this month, some noticeable, others subtle, our hearts weigh heavy.

It’s a strain to be jovial and optimistic when hell’s fury burns across the globe; war, violence against civilian adults, children, the elderly, compounded by unspeakable atrocities, have replaced diplomacy and respect for human life.

As for background, in our business, we are responsible for being more aware of world, regional, and local events than most of the public. This charge translates into our monitoring multiple news services and social media while unearthing and distilling facts from opinions around the clock.

When an event of dramatic proportion occurs, we don’t have the liberty to glance over a newscast, shake our heads, and go about our routines. Instead, we watch situations unfold, use critical thinking as our guide, and painfully observe the gruesome details that make headlines.

Upsetting for many, despicable horror cannot be ignored or ever forgotten.

A few readers will be critical of our immersion into historical conflicts, accompanied by out-of-touch statements such as, “They claim to be a luxury lifestyle magazine; why are they talking about war?” Or, “Why can’t they just ignore ‘bad news’ and talk about happy things?”

Heaven forbid we close our eyes, stick our heads in the sand, pretending all is well unvetted populations into the U.S. 16 | NOVEMBER 2023 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

Since the tragedy of 9/11, we have been protected from attacks by foreign nations and terrorist groups. However, the public is subjected to extreme violence and a rapid slide into a decreased quality of life due to unacceptable and widespread criminal behavior and unobstructed borders, allowing a flood of undocumented and unvetted populations into the U.S. We are morally compelled to share what we have learned about a violent plague quietly festering within the country, which will soon present itself on Main Street if not addressed.

Suppose nothing has been learned during the last 22 years after the mass killing of Americans took place on our soil.

In such a case, the despicable and inhumane attack on Israel and its citizens by fanatical terrorists urgently signals the dangers we face if we don’t collectively change our course, both here and abroad.

America is losing time—before it’s too late and another attack makes 9/11 look like a rehearsal, leaders must act accordingly.

Moving on, we’re pleased to present a list of exciting and informative features for November. Our section, formally known as “Home Review,” is now titled “Living” and has a stunning property to share with you—it’s a trophy!

Then, we cover two art events; the first is with Jim Parker, who is exhibiting in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, this month, and the other, pans November and December, the annual Foundry Artist Association’s Art Show & Sale, a must-see exhibition, held in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

As temperatures drop, it won’t be long before the snow flies, you’ll be pleased to find pointers on how to get prepped for the ski season and make your journey to the mountains go smoothly.

And not to be missed is “Blurred Line.” We share our observations and thoughts about what Thanksgiving is supposed to be versus its use for swaying opinions and placing blame.

Finally, we address the importance of honoring not only our Veterans but all who serve and keep us safe with a tribute to their sacrifices.

Thank you for your loyal readership, and please share our thoughts and prayers for those suffering; we hope for a quick resolution and the restoration of peace. H

On Point

THANK A VETERAN FOR YOUR PROTECTION

BY JAMES HOLDEN

I

f there was ever a selfless, devoted, and determined group of men and women willing to uphold and protect the country and its people, it’s our Veterans.

We could go back to colonies and honor the brave who fought for freedom, but for our purpose, we focus on a day celebrating and honoring our modern military.

As a federal holiday, November 11 is acknowledged as Veterans Day; albeit, the holiday is recognized so it coincides with a weekend for planning social and commemorable events.

Originally, respect was shown on Armistice Day, first held on November 11, 1919, which marked the anniversary of the end of World War I. Discovered during a web search, we learned the war ended at the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918. At the time, President Woodrow Wilson wished to exemplify the people who made up our military organizations that ended hostilities and terror, and to credit our

forces who fought against aggression— replacing it with peace.

Since its early days, a select group of warriors continues to enlist (some making it into a career) in the Armed Services; educated, trained, and supplied with the necessary tools to ensure our safety and security at home and afar, they stay at the ready, waiting for the call to defend the nation and its people.

One would believe this dynamic and well-organized fighting team of soldiers and officers would be widely recognized with honors and blessed with significant financial rewards and security. Yet, nothing could be further from the truth.

Thousands of our Veterans are homeless, drug addicted, or imprisoned.

Sometimes due to poor choices, but often traced to a lack of services or abandonment. In any case, many willing to give up their lives have been left with a bleak future.

Fast forward, we live in an era where wealth and privilege (although falsely rejected in view of the camera) rule.

Getting ahead under any circumstances has replaced honor and integrity. New generations are focused on selfishness and a willingness to have others serve and protect them so they may reach their full potential.

It can be said that it takes a particular type of individual to make the sacrifices necessary to wear the uniform; they certainly give more than they will receive during their lifetime.

Recognizing the military is similar to how law enforcement is treated: vilify them until they arrive and protect us from danger and physical harm, only to revert to calling them heroes in hindsight.

In light of this, as we close 2023 and face the uncertainty of being lured into conflict in the Middle East, it’s not enough to acknowledge and thank our Veterans for their service; it would be a significant gesture to also show appreciation to those currently serving.

Thank a soldier; it means more than you realize. H NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA | NOVEMBER 2023 | 17

once-in-a-generation offering: “Sowannatin,” a seaside estate built in 1924 and cherished by only three families over the past century, is available for sale by Berkshire Hathaway Home Services—Robert Paul Properties.

Nestled near the tip of Converse Point, the property, with 450 feet of sea-walled shoreline (fully licensed), is an attractive apron to the breathtaking views of Buzzards Bay from nearly every room.

Historically, this property comprised the gardens and greenhouses for the 27-bedroom house built in 1908 at the tip of the Point, known as “The Moorings,” but after Harry Elisha Converse’s death, the site was chosen by one of his daughters for her own summer house, specifically because of its orientation on the Point, which enjoys the prevailing Southwest winds the Bay is known for.

The property offers three acres of well-maintained specimen plantings, hundreds of hydrangeas, mature privet hedges, spectacular gardens, a beehive, a firepit, a lighted flagpole, and numerous outdoor patios and porches from which to enjoy the view.

24 | NOVEMBER 2023 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

In the spring, thousands of daffodils brighten the woodland on the property’s perimeter. A rosa rugosa hedge, in various tones of pink and white, enhances the impressive protective seawall, which features granite stairs down to the private beach.

A custom-built garden house serves as an oasis and additional entertaining space. The formal garden is a throwback to the formal gardens showcased on the same plot of land when the Point was one estate.

Visitors enter the property via the stone-gated entrance and cobble driveway or through a delightfully welcoming cedar hedge gate along the road.

The main house was built in 1924 by Margaret Converse Butler. Lovingly restored by the present owners, the shinglestyle home is in absolute turnkey condition. It offers seven bedrooms, eight full- and two half-bathrooms, six fireplaces,

two three-season porches, excellent flow, and generous sized rooms for entertaining. The second level features guest and family wings for comfortable weekend house parties.

Outstanding kitchen features include two subzero refrigerators, two Miele dishwashers, a large Aga range, and a generous pantry with a separate sink and built-in storage.

A complete renovation took place between 2004 and 2009, including all systems (electric, plumbing, heating/cooling, alarm), new insulation, all windows, hurricane shutters, balconies, porches, cedar shingles, and cedar roofs.

In 2010, an addition to the main house was completed, creating a more oversized primary suite, a new family room off the custom-designed kitchen, as well as a full, finished basement, a three-season porch, a covered porch, powder room, back stairs, and porch entry.

NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA | NOVEMBER 2023 | 25

The traditional shingle-style home is decorated with a muted color scheme, highlighting the custom moldings and builtins throughout, and enjoys sunlight streaming in from every window. Two custom-designed stone fireplaces bookend the interior—one in the kitchen and the other in the sunroom.

New owners will marvel at the large basement of the main house; it’s equipped with a French drain system and sump pumps, ensuring it is always perfectly dry. A playroom, with ample built-in storage, and a TV/exercise room were added as part of the 2010 addition, including a powder room and a generous storage area for outdoor furniture and boating equipment.

The home is self-sufficient, with a large, industrial generator capable of fully powering the main and guest houses, which run on natural gas (with a backup power source of a 1,000-gallon buried propane tank), ensuring that both homes are consistently powered.

26 | NOVEMBER 2023 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

The guest house/garage building, newly built in 2021, is fully independent, featuring one bedroom, two bathrooms, and ample entertaining space, including a stunning vaulted stone-fireplaced great room and integrated kitchenette with SubZero refrigerator and Miele dishwasher. The second structure reflects the main house’s interior and exterior style and has hurricane shutters on all windows and doors. The garage accommodates three cars and has abundant built-in storage and a workbench.

Converse Point offers a private tennis and a pickle ball court, a sandy beach, moorings, and a community dock.

DATING IN 2023 EXPECTATIONS, ATTEMPTS & RETREAT

Is Long-Term Happiness Possible?

BY STEVEN CHAN

H

aving some direct experience but relying on countless interviews and some impromptu discussions over a bottle of wine or a cocktail with both genders, being updated on dating in 2023 was enlightening, at times—shocking!

During my investigation, I found the openness of those I questioned startling; in hindsight, I can attribute their candidness to frustration, sometimes causing them to ask me more questions than I did them.

After about a year of listening to men and women aged 21-65, I found many were disillusioned by the juxtaposition of what they believed dating would be like and the result—or lack thereof— during their attempts to find a meaningful connection. Moreover, they said they felt so much pressure, regardless of their age, to learn—even change—and fit dating into their lives. As one 50-something woman exclaimed, “Dating is a full-time job!”

A MAN’S POINT OF VIEW

“All they want is to drain my bank account,” and “As long as I’m spending, they’re enjoying.” Over and over, the theme from a cross-section of guys was an awareness that money was the key to dating, and as long as it flowed, they would find 34 | NOVEMBER 2023 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

plenty of attraction. At the same time, when the financial spigot was shut, they found themselves ghosted. Indeed, transactional relationships have taken over those based on tradition, as their grandparents might have enjoyed.

Case in point, more and more men are avoiding the dating scene and opting for a ‘hook-up,’ ‘friend with benefits,’ or something casual like an on-call ‘bleep-buddy’ for ‘chillin’ & Netflix,’ which is code for a roll in the hay. Leading to these options is the fact that they either don’t have the money or lack the desire to fund a second person’s extravagant lifestyle.

Then there are the guys who roll in the dough and view dating as a household expense. They understand money keeps communication open and the sheets warm. With a willingness to open their wallets, their options expand the possibilities of meeting someone because they can significantly open up the age gap. Evidence of this is when a 20-30-year age difference is meaningless, if not ordinary.

WHAT GIRLS WANT

Everything—and they are exceptionally clear about their needs and desires.

The revolution took place a long time ago, although to be in the know, you must be up-to-date on social media and get the feeds that focus on relationships.

There are millions of posts explaining that women should not settle for anything less than their full value; shockingly, the so-called dating experts even tell their audience, who are shy of reaching the rank of one percent of high-value women available, to pretend and act as if you are, and make men pay for the privilege of your attention and anything else you may offer.

This advice directs women to focus on big spenders, the guys who will pay to play and spoil them with luxury. Women have learned well from their online mentors; for example, some place demands on men ahead of time. It can begin as subtle as a coy “Yes, I’d like to go out with you, as long as it’s a classy place.”

Such an unabashed conditional acceptance of an offer to go on a date and get to know someone is causing men to retreat. It would appear it’s the wallet, not the person of interest.

THE RESULTS

Age changes much, wine improves, and fish smells. As for youth, it dissipates unnoticed until a younger competitor elbows you away from your prey one day. Beauty reigns, but in an instant and without warning, panic sets in, and you begin to look for a mate to pay for your weekly visits to the medical spa.

In years past, the age for engagement, marriage, and children followed a predictable schedule. However, as dating habits change, many learn that time waits for no one, and the possibility of finding a suitable mate narrows. Those who miss the love train and are left uncoupled suddenly find a void in their social life, resulting in the lowering of their expectations and a shared disappointment with the spoils.

Unless our culture retracts and reconfigures how relationships are built and maintained, the separation of the sexes will expand, and those with high body counts will suffer in silence as they age alone. H

Nutritional Supplements That Could Help Extend Your Life

BY ROB SAINT LAURENT, M.ED

I

s there a way that we can live longer? It’s a popular question today and certainly not a novel one.

Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle were some of the first notables to contemplate human aging. Living during 400-300 B.C., Plato believed human aging and disease were separate processes and that living beings could help stave off disease with a healthy lifestyle, bringing harmony to the body and soul. On the other hand, Aristotle (Plato’s student and colleague) viewed human aging and loss of mental capacity as inextricably linked and part of the natural dying process—a natural disease.1 Around the same time, the mythical legend of a fountain of youth was suggested by Greek historian Herodotus, who observed the exceptional lifespans and robustness of people known as the Macrobians, living in what is now thought to be Somalia.2 Until recently, however, most scientists viewed aging as a part of natural selection. Only within about the last century

36 | NOVEMBER 2023 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

has there been a resurgence of interest in longevity, with promising discoveries in slowing the rate of human aging.1 GENERAL HEALTH VERSUS LONGEVITY HEALTH

When considering what it takes to live long, NOVOS, a commercial longevity supplement company, notes a difference between pursuing general health and longer life. It claims there are two different approaches to improved health that don’t necessarily lead to the same outcome.3 General health involves physical, mental, and social factors and aims to prevent and treat disease for improved quality of life. It is assumed, as Aristotle’s view, that aging is an unalterable part of life. With this passive approach, a person may live a healthier life but not necessarily a longer one. Following the government’s recommended daily intake for nutrients, for instance, may confer a healthier life, albeit higher intakes may extend how long a person remains healthy (healthspan) and how long they live.

Longevity health is a more targeted and longer-term approach

to better health outcomes. A longevity health approach involves healthy behaviors and interventions that will not only promote good health but may extend a person’s healthspan and life. Actions include dietary modifications and the intake of supplements to slow aging by protecting cells from damage and senescence (when a cell deteriorates with time and stops dividing).

While general health focuses on short-term prevention or treatment of disease, longevity health focuses on the root causes of aging and death.

SHORTENING ODDS OF LONGER LIFE

Aging is caused mainly by cellular damage from reactive free oxygen molecules and shortened telomeres on the ends of chromosomes that preserve genetic information during cell division. Beyond general health, certain dietary supplements show evidence of protecting cells and at least suggest the ability to extend both healthspan and lifespan. These include but are not limited to, those described below.

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid found in pink-hued seafood, such as salmon, lobster, crabs, and shrimp, which most of us don’t consume enough to derive astaxanthin’s benefits.

Defects in cellular mitochondria (where energy is made) are believed to contribute to oxidative stress and play a major role in aging and age-related diseases. Antioxidants that target mitochondria, like astaxanthin, are believed to prevent or slow aging processes and promote longevity.4, 5 Collagen is the body’s most abundant protein and a vital component of connective tissue in the skin, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons that allow for ease of movement. It also decreases in volume as we age. Supplementing with collagen can promote youthful skin, but also overall joint health and increased bone density for healthful aging. This may help a person to maintain mobility and prevent falls—the main cause of injury-related death in people 65 and older.4 NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA | NOVEMBER 2023 | 37

Creatine monohydrate is a supplement often taken by athletes and bodybuilders for increased muscle mass. Yet, early evidence shows the benefits of creatine supplementation for elderly people at risk of cognitive decline and those wanting to offset age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) and improve physical functioning. Creatine has shown enhanced short-term memory and reasoning, and lower sarcopenia risk when coupled with strength training. Researchers say findings suggest creatine may benefit “aging and stressed” people and that it’s “imperative” the supplement be tested in people with dementia or cognitive decline.4, 6, 7 Crocin is another carotenoid, the yellow pigment that gives saffron spice its color. Both human and animal research have shown crocin to have potential wide-ranging health benefits that can help stave off age-related diseases, as well as age-related cognitive decline. Besides protecting cells from age-related oxidative damage, lab and animal research suggests crocin can also prevent inflammation by blocking harmful advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that form when sugar binds to protein or fat in the body.8, 9 Curcumin is the principal active ingredient in turmeric spice and is noted for its strong cell-protective antioxidant properties. Curcumin is not only associated with lower odds of age-related cognitive decline in humans but has been shown to stimulate proteins that reduce cellular senescence and promote longer life. Animal studies have shown curcumin’s ability to protect against cell damage, stave off age-related illness, and significantly extend life.8, 10 EGCG, or epigallocatechin gallate, is a widely recognized polyphenol (plant-based antioxidant) linked to reduced disease and mortality. Like the amino acid with potential longevity value known as theanine, EGCG is found largely in green tea. Similar to astaxanthin, EGCG is believed to protect cells by targeting mitochondrial health and agerelated molecular pathways and by spurring autophagy in which the body clears out damaged cellular parts.8, 11 EPA/DHA (eicosapentaenoic acid/docosahexaenoic acid) are omega-3 fatty acids common to fish oil. Like astaxanthin, most Americans aren’t getting enough EPA/DHA since we don’t consume enough seafood each week (at least eight ounces is advised). EPA/DHA supplementation may promote longer life because people with higher intake are seen to have less risk of heart attack and early death from all causes.4 Fisetin is a yellow plant pigment, or flavonol, in the flavonoid category of polyphenols found in fruits and vegetables like strawberries, apples, and cucumbers. Like the flavonol quercetin, fisetin acts as a “senolytic” by clearing out senescent cells that build up with age and can damage neighboring healthy cells. However, scientists believe these compounds may promote longevity by combatting inflammation. NOVOS scientists prefer fisetin for longevity, citing more and better studies showing longer lifespans, as in mice.3, 12 38 | NOVEMBER 2023 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

Dietary Supplements with Potential Longevity-Promoting Value ASTAXANTHIN

NICOTINAMIDE MONONUCLEOTIDE

COLLAGEN PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE CREATINE PTEROSTILBENE MONOHYDRATE QUERCETIN CROCIN SPERMIDINE CURCUMIN SULFORAPHANE EGCG THEANINE EPA/DHA TRIMETHYLGLYCINE FISETIN VITAMIN D3 ERGOTHIONEINE VITAMIN K2

(The reader is encouraged to research the remaining example supplements listed above that aren’t described here.)

Ergothioneine is an amino acid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties found in many mushrooms.

Ergothioneine has generated excitement over its potential ability to hinder or ease diseases of aging. Research suggests the molecule can lower cardiovascular disease risk, early death, and can extend lifespan. However, researchers say that ergothioneine is found in just small amounts in the food chain due to soil-based fungi. They call for more research on its availability in the diet and longevity-promoting potential.4, 13 Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is another molecule generating enthusiasm among longevity researchers.

NMN is naturally occurring and acts as precursors to NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a coenzyme vital to protecting cells, repairing DNA damage, and mitochondrial health. NAD+ levels are known to decline significantly in adults, which can affect cognition and lead to other bodily dysfunction, and ongoing research suggests NMN supplementation may be beneficial for preventing age-related disease and promoting longevity. NOVOS scientists advise combining NMN with trimethylglycine (TMG), also called betaine, and/or phosphatidylcholine to help the body dispose of the byproduct of NMN supplementation in nicotinamide. They also point to evidence showing nicotinamide riboside (another touted longevity supplement related to NMN) was ineffective for extending lifespan in mice.3, 4, 14 It’s worth noting that even with a healthy diet, experts say many of us may still be deficient in vitamins and minerals as we age, such as D3 (especially during winter) and magnesium. Addressing deficiencies could help promote longer healthspan and life.

At the same time, evidence suggests that taking supranatural amounts of antioxidants could actually speed aging, so avoiding megadoses is also wise.5

Eat This, Not That!

Plato was probably right that a healthy lifestyle can influence how long we live. Genetics may be the ultimate limiting factor in achieving life into one’s 90s and beyond; lifestyle also plays a key role in offsetting the myriad biological stressors we face at any given moment.

When comparing the lives of people in their 90s -110s, the common denominators are not smoking, avoiding excessive alcohol, eating healthy foods, regular physical activity, keeping a healthy weight (avoiding obesity), and managing stress. Educational level, profession, and income are not important factors, say researchers.15 There are no magic bullets. A holistic approach is necessary for optimum health and maximum lifespan—following a Mediterranean-style diet, for example, restricting calories/not overeating and/or limiting eating times; getting regular aerobic and resistance training exercise; ensuring 7-9 hours of restful sleep; not smoking; and disease screenings are all critical, in addition to help from dietary supplements.

With permission from a healthcare provider, regular intake of one or more of these nutrients likely couldn’t hurt one’s chances of a healthful, long life. H

Nautical History With Whimsical Flair

BY STEVEN CHAN

his month is a perfect time to visit Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, and take in a bit of history, sunshine, and a breath of cool ocean air.

Opening November 1 and running to the end of the month, the Mattapoisett Library, 7 Barstow Street, will present an art exhibit of paintings by artist Jim Parker.

Works include various coastal locations, focusing on the SouthCoast shipbuilding and its proud history.

Parker, a Syracuse University graduate and former Naval Officer assigned to the USS Hugh Purvis DD7-9, a Navy Destroyer, is exhibiting his works as a celebration honoring the charm and beauty of the SouthCoast region.

40 | NOVEMBER 2023 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

His adaptation of historical ships includes replicating pirates who made their home and practiced their thievery in and around the Elizabeth Islands.

Over the years, Parker has painted more than 500 historical works, including representations from New York, Cape Cod, the Berkshires, and New England.

Recognized by more than 30 museums, over 75 historical societies, and a list of state, local, and government groups, few artists have captured the essence of nautical history with unique knowledge of the significance each painting represents.

Parker’s style is under the umbrella of Folk Art; its playful style grabs attention and holds focus. The result is an appreciation of his use of vivid coloring and composition combined with familiar landscapes.

Most interesting is how the artist joins the visuals he produces and dovetails local history and lore. H For more information about the free exhibition and hours, visit mattapoisettlibrary.org.

THE 2023 FOUNDRY ARTISTS HOLIDAY SHOW & SALE ANNOUNCED

T

he Foundry Artists Association Holiday Show & Sale, Rhode Island’s premier holiday art events will open for their 41st annual event on Thursday, November 30.

Featuring over 65 regional artists, the curated show of professionals will again be held at the historic Pawtucket Armory located at 172 Exchange Street, Pawtucket.

During its long tenure, this popular and much anticipated New England holiday tradition fills the venue with exciting opportunities to purchase outstanding high-quality gifts and meet the ‘makers’ of an array of eclectic art.

Patrons and supporters mingle and socialize while viewing distinctive works and seeing trends in décor, clothing, and other specialties.

Through jury selection, professional artists are invited to exhibit fine arts and crafts; categories include glass, woodworking, paintings, sculpture,

metal, fiber, mixed media, jewelry, ceramics, and photography.

The uniqueness of The Foundry Show is the planning and operation are conducted entirely by the artist members.

Each is tasked with a role that puts their creative strengths to the test, making the show and sale a tremendous success each holiday season.

Behind the scenes, the group effort includes running electrical wires, hanging signs, posting to social media, public relations, magazine advertising, ringing in sales, and hosting other essential positions.

The organization’s history began not far from the show’s location; The Foundry Artists Association was created over four decades ago by a community of artists who opened their Interstate I-95 Foundry Building Studios in downtown Providence to the public during the holiday season.

While the location was ideal, in 1995, the Foundry Building was converted to office space, resulting in the dispersion of artists and their studios throughout the region.

Its replacement at the Pawtucket Armory building, a castle-like landmark

built in 1894, which formerly housed the National Guard, is a fabulous home for The Foundry Artists Show & Sale.

Beautifully renovated, the former drill hall provides a comfortable shopping experience highlighting the area’s greatest resource—its artists. H For more information, visit foundryshow.com.

Getting “Prepped” For The Season

BY NATALIE SIMMONS

Weather—It’s Mother Nature or Snow Guns, We Will Have Snow For Thanksgiving!

NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA | NOVEMBER 2023 | 45

S

kiers and riders are excited for what is predicted to be a season of snow storms covering terrain across New England. Unlike last year’s unseasonably high temps and snow drought, forecasters have set their sights on a cold and snowy winter.

Do not get caught at the last minute without a pass or your equipment untuned, now is the time to get everything planned so those great weekends are seamless fun and Aprè ski legendary.

We’ve developed a short list to make packing easy and convenient for planning your adventures.

PRE-SEASON CHECKLIST

1. It’s not too soon to start strengthening your core and muscle groups that will scream during your first days on the slopes. Focus on your legs; they’re your base. Also, work out your upper and lower back; these are vital for agility and extreme movements. In addition, you have to stretch for flexibility.

2. Balance is essential under normal circumstances but even more critical when you’re screaming down those semi-iced trails New England is known for; proper positioning over your boards makes a significant difference in enjoyment and control.

3. Get your heart pumping and build endurance; nothing is worse than choking after a couple of turns. You don’t have to get to the top of your game immediately, but it’s great to complete a run without pausing a dozen times.

4. Gear/Outer layer: If it isn’t up to par, you put yourself at risk. Starting with clothing, check for rips, broken zippers, or holes externally and in pockets. At the end of last season, most of us stored our ski/riding wear in a bag and never looked at it again, meaning there may be surprises this season.

The same goes for first and second layers; look for frayed stitching, worn elastic waistbands, and consider replacing all that outdated ‘cotton’

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING.

clothing you’ve collected over the years.

Replace it with new high-tech garments for a warm and comfortable day.

5. Most important and often ignored is the condition of gloves and socks.

Each protects your extremities, which are the first to succumb to freezing temperatures. You can’t be your best without top gear and equipment.

6. Boards: Whether you use one or two of them, they need to be tuned and waxed for their protection and yours.

Edges need to be sharp to hold and give you confidence. And, for safety, get your bindings checked. Releasing too early or late can both cause devastating consequences. It isn’t worth the risk.

7. I don’t know about you, but I want to spend time on snow, not lodging, so carry a waist pack or backpack with these essentials.

Sunglasses Neck gaiter n Half-face mask n Glove liners n Sunscreen n Water and snacks n Whistle n Black duct tape n Reflective safety blanket n Hand/foot warmers n Trail map n Lip balm n Run-a-way-strap for deep-powder days n Phone charger for when you break at lunch n Pen and paper n Ski pass n Aspirin or Tylenol—headaches suck on the mountain n Warm hat that covers your ears if and when you remove your helmet n Baseball cap, a sweaty head isn’t cool, Aprè Ski n If you wear contacts, pack a couple of pairs and solution; they fly out at the worst times n Tissues—lots of them; there’s nothing attractive about using your sleeve or glove n n

Finally, with large numbers of people enjoying the sport, you can expect some close calls any time you’re on or off snow.

Not everyone knows ski etiquette and safety protocol, so protect yourself by wearing a helmet, know and follow ‘The Code,’ and if you see a newbie struggling, offer them a hand; you remember what it was like in the early days.

Blurred Lines

Awake –vs–Woke Thanksgiving In Today’s Culture Opens A Discussion

I

don’t know about you, but I had nothing to do with the extermination of Native Americans, and I wasn’t involved in the slave trade.

Sorry—the Holocaust was before my time, and I’ve never raised my hand or voice to someone for their gender identity or sexuality.

Not surprisingly, I have friends from each of these groups, not those who suffered, but are connected to the legacy of reprehensible treatment by others or living in fear.

Upon reflection, I’ve been viewed as privileged based on my complexion by those who object to profiling but practice the technique regularly.

Interestingly, no one has to say it aloud; it’s the smug glance, a cold blank stare, while at other times, a lack of eye contact or verbalization, even when it is necessary to do a transaction.

BY JAMES HOLDEN

Yes, I have faced discrimination because of my race.

Viewing a segment of the population as racists, oppressors, and privileged, the woke warriors want those who celebrate holidays to carry the weight of the sins committed by others—as far back as 1492 and forward through today. They intend to rewrite history.

You can’t make this up; attend a protest or watch extremist media channels and view how these groups attack those who disagree. Small but radical, they lean towards condemning those who don’t sympathize with their cause or baulk against free speech outside their own.

It’s a sad commentary about those pushing a woke agenda; blaming people who had nothing to do with invasion, colonization, and oppression will never change minds or educate them. Serving a menu of undeserved guilt in the hope of

influence and persuasion wastes time and effort to what matters.

What happens when people are assaulted without cause? Usually, a stirring of anger and condemnation follows the personal violation. Inevitably, the very complaints the woke crowd espouses about others are the same as they practice.

Here is some insight about being awake rather than woke and how many celebrate a modern-day Thanksgiving.

Being conscious of other’s beliefs and practices is the foundation of a peaceful existence. Accepting the rights of others comes with thought, which was the founders’ intention, and although they had it wrong for a while, they’ll never be forgiven, with many trying to cancel them and wipe out their historical achievements.

For most, a quiet family gathering, an act of coming together to be thankful

For most, a quiet family gathering, an act of coming together to be thankful and appreciative of what they have earned or been lucky to have been blessed with, is an honest and forthright conclusion to why we celebrate Thanksgiving. and appreciative of what they have earned or been lucky to have been blessed with, is an honest and forthright conclusion to why we celebrate Thanksgiving. It is time to connect, often argue but remain close.

Yes, sometimes politics come up in the conversation—which it shouldn’t, but it isn’t the reason for the holiday. Consider it an excuse to put aside discontent and discourse one day each year.

FORGIVENESS IS A VIRTUE

I have never been to a Thanksgiving celebration wrapped in a discussion about its origin or to a home decorated with a theme of Pilgrims and Native Americans.

The focus is always on eating, drinking, and enjoying the company of family and friends.

When protesters line the streets of Plymouth, Massachusetts, the only ones focusing on the display of hostility are tourists who view them as entertainment; the morbid demonstration will not have

the influence expected. Let’s face it: who wants to be around a crowd of angry people on a mellow occasion?

Awareness about the plight of Native Americans is a subject debated almost every day somewhere in America. It should be in the conversation, but isn’t the political class that needs convincing?

If anyone supports Native American rights and doesn’t have to be targeted for indoctrination, I fit into the role. As a youngster, I was proud to be chosen to portray an ‘Indian’ in school plays. Later, I was lucky to have found myself in a classroom with a teacher of Wampanoag heritage.

Mr. T was among the most fascinating and influential educators I had ever had in 12 years of public school. Incorporating his legacy and personal experience into our learning made a lifelong impression on me. His approach to teaching was never to instill fear or guilt.

He wasn’t adversarial, didn’t practice

authoritarianism, nor was he patronizing because of our different ethnicities. I felt safe before it was popular and a prerequisite for experiencing the hard knocks of life.

He instilled an understanding and shared his pride with everyone in class.

We were proud to be his students; a brilliant man—ahead of his time—won us over.

Like many others, I will celebrate this year, but it will be a special occasion focused on the present, not the past. Will I feel guilty—No! Sad? No. Will I think about those events from hundreds of years ago? Don’t bet on it.

It would be wonderful to witness a meeting of the minds and the breaking of bread so that differences and similarities could be unpacked rather than repetitive protests condemning people who had nothing to do with the first of many Thanksgiving gatherings.

In Closing

FINALLY, THE END OF

Skinny Jeans!

BY MARGOT ROBERTS

I

f there were an agreement between the genders, it would be about those tight, restrictive, low-hanging pants, absent of comfort, continuously slipping under the hips. Practically forced into them, in more ways than one, this soon-to-be castaway has to have been the most out-of-touch fashion mistake ever conceived.

Since first squeezing into a pair, I’ve viewed them as a poor joke or retribution by fashion Gods. These tiny pants are sinful in two ways; first, they never fit right, and second, unless you have the shape of a supermodel, you know what the view looks like from behind.

But the good news is that the fashion mistake will soon become a distant memory, much like the rotary phone—they’re being retired!

50 | NOVEMBER 2023 | NEW ENGLAND NEWS + MEDIA

Clothing trends take time to trickle down from the pedestal of high fashion found in New York City, Los Angeles, or Milan, so we may see some loyalists squeezing out (no pun intended) the last few days of wear from their collection before a revamp of their wardrobes.

We’ve witnessed casual chic and grungy cool—repurposed as hip, rage, or whatever the new generation labels a rehash of clothing design; let’s face it, fashion is cyclical and a repetition of what a previous generation viewed as attractive and practical during their day in the sun is making its way back.

Gen Z’ers are using social media to crucify millennials and others who ignore their call to toss, even burn the tight-fitting jeans, and move to a more relaxed and comfortable style of pants.

So, what are we supposed to replace our skinny jeans with? According to media in the know, what’s hot and will get us through the winter includes a repeat of some styles and a few new categories of jeans.

Keep an eye out for high-rise (waisted) light-color blues, baggy or extra wide-leg (torn or whole—in light blue), boot-cut-in dark or light denim, high-waist with a flared lower leg in a simple darker-colored relaxed look.

A lot will have to do with body shape, but that’s good; with these choices, everyone can look their best by pairing a fit with their body style.

Now that we’ve solved this problem, let’s add flannel to the junk pile! H
