Fox Hunting, House Searching & Private School Shopping

e are pleased to have you return so you may see what we’ve been working on since your last visit. To say everyone has been busy would be understating the effort, not only of our contributors but our real estate partners and members of the Norfolk Hunt Club. It’s because of their willingness to work us into their schedules, once again, that we have been able to uphold a rigorous timeline in the production of our November issue. With a focus on equestrian homes and fashion, we’re pleased to showcase the riders of Norfolk Hunt Club, dressed in their formal attire for the season. Their traditional garb, used as a reference to show how authentic boots, clothing, and accessories have played a significant role in contemporary design and fashion, helps us understand the longevity of this style and its popular appeal. Gathered at Round Lot Farm in Medfield, Mass., the forecast called for clouds and cool weather, yet we ended up with a beautiful day full of sun and warmth. The photo shoot was arranged by Lucki Schotz Photography, and provided a few hours of comradery, the joy of being around beautiful horses, and an opportunity to discuss the upcoming hunt taking place at Barney’s Joy in South Dartmouth at the end of October. We would like to send a special thank you to David Welles, of Equestrian Sotheby’s International Realty, of Wellington, Florida. While having to contend with what was being touted as the worse hurricane in many years to slam the coast, Welles helped us gather photos 12 november 2016
and important details about one of the most luxurious equestrian properties in the country. Ironically, this property was specifically designed and built to withstand hurricane winds and damage, and so the appropriateness of this feature to be highlighted this month is spot on. For an equestrian family looking to relocate in the Northeast, Anne Whiting Real Estate has opened the doors of a picture-perfect South Dartmouth home, so we could review the many reasons this property is the perfect choice for a family with riders in training. The SouthCoast region is well known for equestrian sports due to the ease of accessibility to ranches, farms, and indoor riding facilities. This month’s home review deserves a closer look. Looking for a twist on an old favorite? If so, you don’t want to miss our feature on the newly opened Massimo restaurant on Federal Hill in Rhode Island. It began with a soft opening, followed by a “Drag Brunch,” and then elevated into the news cycle due to a lavish multi-course small plate and wine tasting for the media. Through the efforts of owners Joseph and Esther DeQuattro (also proprietors of Pane e Vino located at the opposite end of the Hill), everyone is talking about the new kid on the block and filling the place to experience their “New Rustic” Italian cuisine. From our observations, Atwells Avenue will never be the same—only better. There has been a lot of news surrounding accusations and—in some cases, significant and life-changing—abuses inflicted on students at some of our most prestigious educational institutes. Many of the stories that
have filled the newspapers have made readers cringe in horror. The fact that some incidents dated back many years ago doesn’t negate the importance of unraveling these stories to identify the perpetrators and point out the sickening abuse that these children endured. What we can learn from these investigations is that parents need to open up lines of communication with their children, and be alert for behavioral changes they observe in their kids, whether at home or away at school. A positive result from these exposés is that most—if not all—private schools are setting up zero tolerance policies for any form of inproper interactions between students, staff, and faculty. Even though problems have existed, students looking for a quality education are not turning away from the best schools. This month, writer Natalie Miller reviews the process that families and students need to prepare for, as boarding school is on the horizon. It isn’t an easy task, and the investment is significant; but like anything else, the first step can appear to be monumental, resulting in procrastination. We hope that after reading this month’s feature, “The Pursuit of Knowledge,” you’ll be able to begin an outline and start the process of applying to one of the many fine schools located in New England. As usual, it’s been a hectic month, and we don’t see it slowing down anytime soon—but knowing how much you appreciate our efforts makes it all worthwhile. Please enjoy this issue, and we hope you have a pleasant holiday with your loved ones and families. H

THE PERFECT NEST 14 november 2016
SOUTH DARTMOUTH HOME HAS EVERYTHING FOR RAISING A FAMILY by Steven Chan / photography by Lucki Schotz
november 2016 15

W
e often read about homes promoted as the idyllic setting for both children and parents to cohabitate and thrive as a family. But, all too often— after a thorough inspection—many properties disappoint due to inadequate space, the neighborhood, or lack of convenience to schools and services you would expect at certain price-points. What is thought to be a child-friendly house turns out to be one that lacks the design and build to accommodate a family. While one would expect most homes to meet the daily routines and demands of both parents and children, too often, one group is left unsatisfied. When searching for a suitable property, with features to accommodate everyone for at least a decade, the last thing you want to do is scratch amenities from your wish list, only to realize that you’ve wasted precious time on a property that doesn’t meet your most basic requirements. Our home of the month, located on the 16 november 2016
quiet and almost sleepy lane known as Redwood Street, has served its current owners well over the last 12 years. They have raised their children in an aesthetically charming, tree-lined neighborhood with views of the bay and historic Fort Taber/Fort Rodman, and now are planning to move to a more couple-oriented home which will lend itself to a more sophisticated lifestyle. So what exactly makes this home family friendly? In this case, the owners anticipated their children would still be living at home for a while, so they created a multitude of lifestyle choices for every family member. The owner shared that she had built more than one home over the years and said, “With each new house my husband and I designed, we tried to bring what worked previously, and omit what we found unnecessary. As for this one, we were sure to include concepts that made life a little bit easier.” It begins with the location—which is very private and off the main throughways of the town. Once part of the property boundaries
of the Carmelite Monastery, the peacefulness of the seaside location is ever present. Nearby, well-positioned and appointed homes of similar value and quality are nestled in the woodlands; it’s quite evident that each of them possesses a sense of individuality while boasting a taste for upscale living. This Nantucket-style residence exudes character and vibrancy. From the professionally-maintained landscaped yard with sprinklers, to the large driveway leading to the two-car garage and parking area for additional vehicles, this property has room for those who anticipate new drivers as their children grow. Luxuries include a private, deeded beach at the end of the road; a huge mud room with cubbies including storage; a home theater with projection capabilities to keep the gang together; an art and craft room; plus a finished basement accompanied by storage, a full bath, and a cedar closet. But it doesn’t end here; there is also a workout room and entertainment center for a pool table or other intriguing game furniture. By organizing all

this entertainment space below the main level, peace may be enjoyed regardless of the time of day. The kitchen of this home is fantastic, since it has the kids in mind from start to finish. Vast and airy, it runs wider than most gathering centers so that it may be accessed from either end. With pathways forward and behind the mid-seated granite island, no one will ever be cornered without an escape route—this translates into less conflict or challenges between siblings. This room also includes an informal dining area, accompanied by a set of impressive French doors leading to what could be a formal dining room—or better yet, a larger meeting space for meals or a study to do homework. If you want to get the children on board to moving into this extraordinary home, show them the dual stairways to the second level, which leads them to beautiful bedrooms with views rarely reserved for those under 18 years
old. Once they select the room of their choice, it’s doubtful you’ll be able to tear them away from gazing at the ocean from these high perches, which have the feel of climbing into a tree house. As for the adults, the wrap-around mahogany deck (covered from the elements), surrounded with blue stone and complemented by a patio for outdoor entertaining, will have everyone rejoicing over the fact that there is so much privacy surrounding the 3,600 square foot home. According to Anne Whiting, who conducted the tour of the property on this day, “This is a very special home; it offers water views and lots of style—it certainly isn’t a cookie-cutter.” Whiting also mentioned that listing agent Nona Sbordone assisted the owner in staging the property for our photos. A certified interior redecorator and home stager, Sbordone has the skills and taste to work with owners who decide it is time to move to a new
home once they see they will soon become empty nesters. “Sometimes it just takes a fresh look at what an owner has accumulated over the years, and help them sort out what will enhance the features of a house and what causes it to look cluttered,” Whiting explained. Dartmouth continues to be a desirable location to raise children—due to a multitude of private and public schools, choice of marinas, a yacht club, golf courses, beautiful beaches, and a family-friendly tax rate. Those new to the area will be pleasantly surprised at the value offered for their investment. This home, offered at $979,000 presents an opportunity for a family to enjoy comfort and convenience usually found in homes in much higher price ranges.

between the Grand Prix Barn and the Ranch Barn. The 18 Grand Prix Barn stalls were customized onsite by Lucas Equine of Kentucky using EBY wood, with fixtures like handmade brass horse waterer faucets and door latches, as well as one-and-a-halfinch rubber flooring over poured concrete. Handmade chandeliers light the aisles and pillars leading up to a vaulted ceiling with
cupolas for ventilation. All four wash bays boast temperature-controlled water sources and top-of-the-line safety features, such as rear escape sections for grooms. Florida weather can be unpredictable (as recently experienced), so the Grand Prix Barn has customized airtight and watertight weather shutters with a two-point locking system and roll-down doors at aisle and breezeway ends. The breezeway’s Kobi windows are made from hurricane impact-resistant glass, as are all windows throughout the property. Central air conditioning is made elegant with wrought iron grills covering the ceiling vents. Both barns also have full-ceiling anti-bug systems. Equine comfort and care are paramount throughout, as evidenced in touches like buffed stainless steel feed bins and customized wall paneling in the feed room. In front of the Grand Prix barns are three large paddocks and a round, all-weather pen suited for lunging or turn out. A charming alley dotted with crepe myrtles and bougainvillea leads to five large paddocks at the rear, one of which was converted for free jumping. The large, all-weather Grand Prix grass ring was installed three years
ago to the highest of standards, with a 12inch water jump, dry ditch, and hedge fence. Exemplary modern drainage system technology means heavy rainfall is never an issue, and even enhances the riding turf. Located near the Grand Prix Barn are two separate accessible storage facilities which hold riding equipment and farm machinery. The three-bedroom groom’s house boasts premium finishings, with a second-story master suite overlooking both the sand ring and Grand Prix ring. Luxury touches throughout the residence include handmade inlaid floor tiles, mahogany kitchen cabinets and Viking appliances, a Travertine marble backsplash and decorated stainless steel accents, double-thick marble countertops; walnut pegged floors, and inlaid Brazilian slate with hand-painted floor tiles in the master bath leading to a spacious walk-in closet. The Ranch Barn is similarly constructed to the Grand Prix Barn and houses 14 stalls with top-of-the-line safety features and luxury amenities, including two exterior wash stalls. The Chicago brick used on aisle floors also forms a herringbone design up the archways. The Ranch Barn living accommodations are accessed through a Western-themed entrance lobby with stylish, handmade leather wall panels and mahogany fixtures. The attached private bathroom boasts a stunning copper sink and faucet set in a vanity unit, a nearby private laundry room, and a guest bedroom suite with French doors exiting onto the charming, Turkish stone tile courtyard. Climb the walnut-floored stairway to reach the second-floor apartment, which has a chiseled-edge marble center floor and 14 ½-inch vaulted cypress beam ceiling, enhanced by a complete surround sound system. Of course, life can’t be all play and no work; an octagonal courtyard conference room is crowned by a handmade, Balinese teak-planked ceiling. Three ground-level French doors lead to outside seating areas, allowing for versatility of setting. A built-in barbecue area is attached to the side of this building as well, and nearby stand a large gazebo and bougainvillea-clad pergola overlooking a pond stocked with bass, tilapia, carp, and catfish. The octagonal courtyard guest cottage provides luxury features which match other compound appointments and is right near the hardcourt tennis facilities. These courts are made from the same surface materials as Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York and have state-of-the-art court lights

Dense landscaping keeps the tennis facilities secluded from the rest of the property. A nearby, three-bay storage unit offers space for vehicles. One of Skara Glen’s crowning jewels is its nine-acre jumping field with Argentine Bahia grass surface and half-mile, allweather gallop track. Six nearby paddocks are bordered with four-board, meandering fencing to provide a soft, pleasant effect— each encompassing several acres and its own Nelson water drinker. The Ranch area has an industrial generator that engages automatically in the event of a power outage, as well
as a regularly-maintained fire hydrant. The property’s four ponds irrigate its grounds; automatic well systems fill them up during a dry spell, and ultra-high-end lift stations ensure they will not overflow during a major flood, helping to maintain the beautiful Floridian flora that graces Skara Glen Stables. For those with little ones, Wellington’s highly-rated schools are all located within three miles. Such a jewel of a property might become available once in a lifetime. Nonequestrians may never fully understand what makes this one-of-a-kind property so special for horses and their owners, and those who end up purchasing it will be fortunate to call this paradise on earth “home.” H

Those acquainted with riding attire in the styles of Hunt, Dressage, Show, and Polo, will also be familiar with off-field fashion, which is a direct descendant of these smart and polished looks. Grounded in practicality, as well as in good taste, many of today’s fashion choices have been inspired and tailored to the comfort and conveniences afforded by well-constructed and durable fabrics used by equestrian enthusiasts. For the layperson, names like Ralph Lauren and Polo are quick to come to mind; but often these knock-offs, found in outlets, are distant relatives to the actual clothing which continues to be a mainstay in many wardrobes. This month’s presentation features members of the Norfolk Hunt Club, wearing their formal attire for the season hunts, along with an individual photo of Skylar Wolfe, who is also in formal dress.

For today’s fashionista or practical male counterpart, only the “real thing” will do, and most are able to find quality blazers, boots, blouses, and jodhpurs at retailers such as Dover Saddlery, Dubarry of Ireland, and Barbour—just to name a few companies who offer the finest in traditional active wear. From formal-style coats to shirts with ties accompanied by fitted jackets, these timeless creations are a must for everyone’s closet, enabling easy transition from the field to the most elegant dining room. While regular street or daily wear won’t suffice for the strict dress codes that most clubs demand, there is a prevailing stylesense which can be traced to modern day clothing and its design. English or western, the equestrian look is always in style and feels good, any day of the week. Shown here are a few of Dubarry of Ireland’s 2016 Autumn/Winter looks.

THE PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE What you need to know to enroll your child in private institutions By Natalie Miller
36 november 2016
Holderness school by Lucki Schotz
T
oday, investing in education is not only common but more necessary than ever, especially at the higher levels. Studies show that college graduates with a bachelor’s degree typically earn 66 percent more than those with only a high school diploma; and these students are also far less likely to face unemployment, according to the US Department of Education. While the number of students enrolled in private education on the elementary and secondary levels has gone down in recent years—from 12 percent in 1995–2006, to now 10 percent— the number of non-affluent families sending their children to private school has gone up. Private education was once reserved for the wealthy; but today, these schools celebrate diversity and offer significant amounts in financial aid and grants to help students enroll. The national average private school tuition is about $9,582 (the high school tuition average is $12,953 and the elementary school average is $8,522). The total number of private schools in the United States, according to the Council for American Private Education, is 30,861— 24 percent of the nation’s schools—and these schools serve 5.3 million PK–12 students. In New England, where education is paramount, there are 607 private schools that educate students from all over the country and world. It’s a rich environment for top educators and students who are focused both inside and out of the classroom. For parents who are thinking about sending their children to private school, there are many things to consider to ensure you pick the best school that fits your child’s interests and abilities, and to take the correct steps to achieve enrollment. While applications aren’t due until late January to the first of February, the application process begins in September for enrollment the following fall, and ends in March or April. The process is slightly different for K–8 students than high school,
says Geordie Mitchell, director of enrollment at Buckingham Browne & Nichols in Cambridge, Mass. But no matter what grade your child is about to enter, the process involves research, first and foremost, as well as campus visits and admission evaluations. Research is critical, especially in New England where there are many great schools to choose from. The Internet is full of statistics and information on the schools—particularly the Association of Independent Schools in New England for local schools—and admission offices are always eager to receive calls from prospective parents, says Mitchell. “All schools welcome a phone call,” he says. “Admissions staff wants to be helpful. There is no question too small.” Mitchell says he is a firm believer that there is a school to fit each student’s needs and interests; it’s just a matter of doing the research. Most private schools in the area are strong academically, he says, and can offer a rich experience for students. The main differences between them are style and atmosphere. “At BB&N, I often tell families that the energy here is palpable and indicative of the city of Cambridge,” he says. It’s a different feel in Cambridge, a city campus, than it would be at a rural campus. This is one of the reasons why school visits are so critical. It’s not only important for the families to become acquainted with the campus and the surrounding community, but also to get a sense of the atmosphere among the student body. “Each campus has its own unique vibe,” says Mitchell. Your child’s interests outside of the classroom are also important to consider when choosing the right school. If your child has a particular interest in soccer or orchestra, there is a school for them; and to find out what schools are out there, the Internet is a great tool. “At the end of the day, the process is about success and happiness,” says Mitchell. “Parents should look at both things.” Another important decision is choosing the point in your child’s career to enroll them in private school. In terms of admission into high school, it doesn’t matter if your child is coming from private november 2016 37

or public school. The decision to enter private school at kindergarten, seventh grade, or high school depends on the student and family. However, it’s important to remember if your child doesn’t get accepted at the kindergarten level, the next window to enter private school is seventh grade, says Mitchell. And the next window is at the high school level. Private vs. public education
Because these schools are privately funded, they are able to offer students experiences that public schools cannot, and one of these key differences is classroom size. In private institutions the classroom sizes are much smaller, which allows students to receive more individual attention. At Portsmouth Abbey School in Rhode Island, the average class size is 13 students. “No one falls through the cracks,” says Steven Pietraszek, director of admission and financial aid at Portsmouth Abbey. “The students have to be engaged; no one is sitting in the background.” Private schools also offer more classes, which allow students to try new experiences, such as a sport or extra-curricular activity or a particular academic subject. “We encourage students to try different activities,” says Pietraszek. “This helps them become unafraid to fail; all students both excel at things and struggle with things.”
38 november 2016
At Portsmouth Abbey, the focus is a traditional liberal arts curriculum, which exposes students to more art, science, and humanities opportunities. Students are assisted in picking their course schedule each year, and because there are 80 classes to choose from, no two students will have the same schedule. “Each schedule suits that student’s own abilities,” he says. Having students choose their classes also makes them more invested in their own education, and in turn, more focused and interested in class. Most schools offer both day and boarding tuition. Pietraszek feels that boarding is the best option, as the college-like campus is healthy for students, particularly at the high school level. Boarding allows students to better maintain a rigorous course load and gives them more access to teachers and fellow students. And with no travel time to and from school,
it gives them more time, he says—more time for friends, time for sports and extra-curricular activities, and time for homework. “A lot can be accomplished in a day,” he says. “And it’s stuff they are interested in, so it keeps them engaged. “Our students want to be here,” Pietraszek continues, adding that this breeds positive peer pressure as the students feed off each other’s hard work. Private schools are also more prepared to handle bullying, which is an issue that is on the rise among American schools, due to their small size and funding. At Portsmouth Abbey, Pietraszek says the atmosphere among the students just isn’t conducive to bullying. “Our culture doesn’t breed that,” he says. “Students feel comfortable around each other and are accepting of each other.” Getting noticed
Private education was once reserved for the wealthy; but today, these schools celebrate diversity and offer significant amounts in financial aid and grants to help students enroll.
The competition to get into private school is steep, particularly at the high school level. At BB&N, there are only about 40–50 new spots a year for incoming freshman, and generally over 350 applicants. The best way to prepare for private school is, first and foremost, to be a good student and develop good educational habits, says Mitchell. “Schools are looking for students who are academically motivated,” adds Pietraszek. Preparing for the test portion of the application by taking practice exams found
online is also important. Working through sample questions will help students begin to strategize how to answer them, and most testing organizations have free resources to help students prepare for the test; admission offices can help get parents these materials. Many schools also require teacher evaluations and an in-person interview. This is also something students should prepare for ahead of time in order to quell nerves. Students who are candid and relaxed enough to be themselves during the interviews do well. It’s also a good idea to do your research and know something about the school you are applying to and be able to articulate why you what to attend, says Mitchell.
In Massachusetts, for example, the average tuition according to privateschoolreview.com is $20,376. New Hampshire and Connecticut are also high, at $20,937 and $22,498, respectively. Rhode Island is the closest to the national average at $13,204 as its average.
“Our average grant is well over $30,000 a year,” says Mitchell, who encourages all families who are interested in private school to not be discouraged by the cost. “Don’t look at the tuition and think you can’t afford it. Ask the right questions and do the research.” H

Each private school offers some kind of financial aid, and most offer grants. Parents are encouraged to apply, which is done through a different application process. Financial aid is based on ability to pay rather than merit, although some schools do offer merit-based grants. The tuition at Portsmouth Abbey is $54,630 for boarding students, and the school offers $4 million a year in need-based financial aid to 36 percent of the student body, says Pietraszek. At BB&N, where the tuition for its high school is $43,000 a year, $7.5 million in financial aid is offered each year to 25 percent of its student body. “We want a good representation of students,” says Mitchell. And in New England in particular, that is hard to achieve without financial aid, as the average tuition at schools in the area is well above the national average.

T HE PROVENANC E OF
PROVIDENCE Federal Hill Restaurateurs Jump-Start Fine Dining in the City By James Holden / photography by lucki schotz
I
f you’re over 50, you likely have more than a few colorful stories of the whirlwind evenings you spent in Providence, grazing from one dining room to another—many years ago. In the early ‘90s, yuppies prowled from dusk to dawn; Cianci was mayor, and drinking and dining were the entertainment of the day. It was also a time when the Hot Club actually was the hottest spot in town. But, this group has aged, their memories fading, and the incentives for them to come back and explore some of the best farmto-table establishments are simply “out of sight”—and unfortunately, “out of mind.” Providence, once known for the best of European to American specialties, or its sea-to-city dining experiences, has faultered. Wickenden and Thayer Streets are now eerily empty of the vibrant crowds that once 40 november 2016
filled the sidewalks waiting for tables; as for Federal Hill—once the star of the city—it too has experienced significant challenges in drawing consumers to their sidewalk cafés. Not looking to disparage the dining scene in “Little Rhody,” but rather give it a shot of adrenaline, we need to be honest about the state of culinary attractions in Rhode Island. At first glance, it seems that over the last four or five years, the restaurant scene has expanded in all neighborhoods, but its vitality has worn thin due to a drop in participation by its populace. Some would point to the fact that the current generation is kept away due to an anemic economy, while others quietly suggest it is due to ineffective marketing to older and “moneyed” generations who once made these locales their stomping grounds. But, perhaps the most interesting
comment about the troubled state of eating in Rhode Island is from “restaurant previewer,” Joe Zito. When asked what he thought the problem with Rhode Island’s dining scene is, (with tongue in cheek) Zito quipped, “We have two million restaurants, but only one million people to eat in them.” His response is humorous—but is there some underlying truth to the joke? The smallest state in the country has some of the best kitchens and dining rooms to be found in the business, but it is challenged to attract diners from outside its borders due to a massive expansion of the industry during hard times. In reality, the public has a plethora of dining choices, and with tastes and preferences as finicky as a toddler; what was cool or hip last month may quickly become passé within a single season.

With a newly created menu described as “new rustic” according to Chef Christoper Nardoza, there is no way anyone will confuse this exciting venue of food and fun, with any of the traditional establishments. Adding to this problem is the fact that traditional restaurant advertising and marketing for the purpose of coercing potential clientele to cross over the state lines for dinner is either not reaching them, or those targeted may be uninterested in the message. With consumer behavior changing, accompanied by decreases in newspaper and television viewing, an important demo for the survival of modern day restaurants is being overlooked. The days of advertising to your base—often within a radius of 9 to 10 miles—no longer is an effective tool to bring new faces to the threshold. It has become a game of reach, frequency, and value—if it even exists. 42 november 2016
As a result, many in the retail foodservice industry have resorted to social media. While this approach may achieve some level of success in attracting a youthful audience, we cannot negate the fact that many remain financially challenged and only eat out one or two times per month, rather than multiple visits each week as their parents often enjoyed. Food for Thought
Joseph and Esther DeQuattro know full well the highs and lows of the food business. As owners of the popular Italian restaurant Pane e Vino, located at the end of Atwells Avenue, they know what it takes to run a
first-class business. For the last 14 years, they have created a magnet to the lower end of the avenue and bring customers from far and wide. Even with a tailwind which would allow them to coast for many years, they believe that there is much more to come in the development of the Federal Hill dining arena. It was around the beginning of summer that this dynamic duo took over a new location, one which has been a fixture for nearly a lifetime. They decided to embark on an adventure that would raise eyebrows, but also inflate some new life to the top of the street, which has a long-lived reputation as the finest Italian food in the country. “We wanted to offer something special… that probably wouldn’t fit with Pane e Vino,” Esther shared with us. “We think that the area could attract a new crowd if we put out something into the spot that they would be interested in.” With great excitement and a slight level of trepidation, the pair took on the task of opening Massimo.
Opposite page: second level perfect for special events & private dining. Below: Joseph & Esther DeQuattro
Located at the entrance of Federal Hill, Massimo anchors the block with incredible curb appeal. The building’s facade is made up of two floors of glass, with the ability to open up its door to the sidewalk in fair weather, making this one of the most attractive properties along the avenue; but, this new opportunity is not without risk. With a newly created menu described as “new rustic” according to Chef Christoper Nardoza, there is no way anyone will confuse this exciting venue of food and fun, with any of the traditional establishments. For some, this transition may appear to be an over-dramatic effort to show independence and an extreme means for introducing new cuisine, yet it does offer the public a unique dining option. In the big picture, this new venue is sort of a beacon to the public, announcing that Rhode Island is open for business and not afraid to make changes and follow national trends. From jazz to a “Drag Brunch,” Massimo is slowly becoming a fixture to the community. “We are trying to enhance the choices available to those who visit; we want to work with our neighbors,” says Esther. Without a doubt, this new and intriguing option has already begun to start the conversation as to what is new on the “Hill.” Not only are the DeQuattros creating awareness that eating doesn’t have to be boring, they are also showcasing their efforts to pump new life into a historic neighborhood. Back in mid-September, this dynamic duo sent out an invitation to the media announcing that they were planning a private press/ tasting event which wouldn’t disappoint. Titled “New World Italian Cuisine with Local Flavor,” the owners, management, and employees put together one of the most over-the-top, culinary introductions to a new and vibrant style of dining ever to be held in Providence. Not only did they bring together rivals in the media business, they got them to break bread and find common ground for something we are all interested in—eating. The six small plate and wine-pairing was beyond description, and unless you were there to enjoy this picture-perfect dinner, words could not convey the full experience.
Dinner began with a creamy mozzarella with extra virgin olive oil that melted in your mouth, accompanied by a Pinot Grigio, Slavcek. This first course was the perfect introduction to those which followed, and included an arugula salad, hamachi crudo, charred octopus, Massimo bolognese, only to be topped off with a delicious lemon ricotta cheesecake, paired with a Passito di Pantelleria, Pellegrino. From the look on guest’s faces, and their response to the speaker’s presentation, it was evident the owners were successful in their attempt to capture all of our senses. During lulls—between courses—brief description and comments about the importance of using farm-fresh produce and local fish and meats, or an explanation of how they incorporated many of the techniques and recipes from their sister location, were shared.
What makes this story significant is two-fold: Firstly, we must applaud all business people who are willing to take a risk for the betterment of the communities they call home. Secondly, the thoughtful planning and staging of this media event must be called what it is—genius! Too often entrepreneurs overly focus on their goal or concept, only to neglect the importance of a well-conceived marketing component, which is like fuel for an engine. Hats off to anyone who can herd the competitive media and avoid ruffling feathers. The concept of bringing the media to the news, rather than expecting them to chase it down, is deserving of our undivided attention—and so we are more than happy to oblige. We hope we’ve whet your appetite. H

WHAT CAREER POLITICIANS AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS GET WRONG ABOUT GOVERNMENT DEBT AND DEFICITS by Tim Hayes
T
he deficit is the annual difference between what the US government spends and what it takes in by taxing. The debt adds up all of those yearly deficits. If our country’s goal is less government debt (dollars), we have a few options: 1. We can shrink the size of our economy. 2. W e can stop being the world’s currency, which would mean we shrink the size of our economy. 3. We could decouple bank IOUs from government IOUs, which would also shrink the size of our economy. Big Debts and a Big Economy Go Together
Yes, $19 trillion is a lot of debt, but the government owns $5 trillion of it—which means that in some years it took in more money than it paid out and used the surplus to buy US Treasury bonds. So the total debt owed to the public is about $14 trillion, or about 80 percent of the size of the overall US economy (GDP). In 2015, the deficit was $438 billion, or roughly 2.5 percent of the GDP. It got as high as 9 percent of the GDP in 2009 at the height of the Great Recession. During the Reagan presidency, when the deficit started to get into the public discussion, it averaged around 5 percent of the GDP. So a deficit of $438 billion meant the government spent that amount more than it took in with taxes. To make up for the shortfall, it sold $438 billion in government bonds. It had little trouble selling those bonds. In fact, the government paid only about 44 november 2016
1 percent in interest to the buyers. As most investors rightly believe, our US Treasury bonds are the world’s safest investment. The US dollar is the de facto world’s currency
Many benefits flow from this. For example: 1. O il is priced in dollars. This gives our government a control over the price US consumers pay for gas that customers in other countries just don’t get. 2. I f another country lowers its interest rates to try to stimulate economic growth, its currency will often drop against the dollar, making gas purchases more expensive for that nation’s consumers. What to do with all those dollars
As the de facto world currency, dollars are aplenty out there. Their holders have but a few choices: 1. To use them to buy US goods and services; 2. T o use them to buy US financial assets, such as stocks and bonds; or 3. To exchange them for another currency. However, the buyer of those dollars can only do number 1 or 2, and numerous countries or individuals decide to use their dollars to buy US financial assets, many containing the safety that US Treasury bonds offer. The balanced-budget crowd
Many politicians cry out for a balanced budget, believing the federal government should spend only what it takes in taxes. But if that were to happen, there would be no new government bonds to sell, and
many holders of dollars that wanted safe investments would have to find another place to procure them. Many would decide that the next-safest places to do so are US banks. So they would deposit their dollars in a US bank, earn some interest, and get an IOU from the bank. The bank would take the customer’s money and deposit it into its own bank, namely the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve, in turn, would give the bank an IOU from the US government. So, instead of a US Treasury bond owner receiving a government IOU, the bank will get one. Alternatively, perhaps they would decide to buy a stock or a corporate bond. The seller of that asset would receive dollars they would deposit at their bank. The bank would then deposit those funds at the Federal Reserve, repeating the process mentioned above. You get the point. Whether we have a deficit funded by the sale of bonds or a balanced budget, sooner or later, dollars become an IOU of the government. Full stop. There is no simple answer to how the economy will trend—smaller, larger, less debt or greater—but as with love, risk is in the eyes of the beholder.

WAVEM OF THE FUTURE?
PLANTING SEEDS OF PERSONAL, ECOLOGIC, AND ECONOMIC HEALTH by Rob Saint Laurent
arine scientist and farmer Dan Ward coins the phrase “the Johnny Appleseed of kelp” when describing certain contemporaries. In reality, the owner of Ward Aquafarms of Megansett Harbor, North Falmouth, is a pioneer himself. In 2013, Ward became the first aqua farmer to receive a permit in Massachusetts to raise kelp for scientific research—with an exemption to sell commercially, along with his existing shellfish, to test the local market. Ward, who holds a PhD in aquaculture nutrition and immunology from the University of Rhode Island, is quick to point out the deep historical roots of Saccharina latissima or sugar kelp, a type of brown algae native to New England. Seaweed, in fact, has played such a vital role in the Japanese diet that in AD 703 it was made legal for citizens to pay taxes to the emperor in kelp. However, archeologists have traced the use of wild kelp thousands of years in ancient Chile, eventually arriving in North America and across the North Atlantic. Though its industrial use has faded, kelp is catching on with the health- and environmentally-conscious, along with fishermen looking to ocean farming as a viable alternative. november 2016 47

Charles Yarish, PhD, a marine sciences professor at the University of Connecticut, has much to do with kelp’s rapid growth and is widely regarded as the father of US seaweed farming. As basic cultivation techniques originated in mid-17th century Japan, Yarish has traveled extensively for introducing techniques here at home. Two of his students are Ocean Approved of Maine and Thimble Island Oyster Co. of Long Island Sound. Thimble Island Oyster implements an eco-friendly vertical farm design that efficiently uses the entire water column for raising both shellfish and seaweed. Featured in The New Yorker and Scientific American, so-called “3-D ocean farming” is a system requiring no land, fertilizer, pesticides, or fresh water. As Thimble Island owner Bren Smith and his colleagues explain, kelp farming is a self-sustaining food source that needs little maintenance and could nourish the entire planet. Moreover, kelp produces little-to-no environmental impact—indeed, actually cleaning its immediate surroundings by absorbing nitrogen and carbon. The concept has been spreading.
Heading eastward, forward-thinking Blaney and Yale graduate Jules Opton-Himmel are the first two aquaculturists to farm kelp in Rhode Island, having recently received permits from the RI Coastal Resources Management Council and individual features in the Providence Journal. Blaney, who is 67 and equipped with decades of fishing experience, along with an ocean engineering degree from URI, is embarking on a new course with Point Judith Kelp Co. as finfish stocks and lobster decline. He was guided by Smith, who also founded the non-profit Green Wave which teaches the ropes of kelp farming to fishermen. Smith figures a kelp farmer could make $70,000 annually with just a skiff and $30,000 to start.

Derived from clean North Atlantic or Southern Hemispheric waters, free from possible Fukushima radiation contamination, kelp (wildharvested or farmed) is more than fit for humans. Kelp contains protein; vitamins; omega-3 fats; polyphenols; is a rich source of cardiovascular-friendly nitrogen; and contains over 40 important minerals, including high levels of calcium and (most notably) bioactive iodine.
Though its industrial use has faded, kelp is catching on with the health- and environmentally-conscious, along with fishermen looking to ocean farming as a viable alternative
Research has revealed a silent pandemic of iodine deficiency, given a trend of reduced salt intake coupled with inadequate iodine levels in many iodized salt brands. The World Health Organization estimates more than two billion people may be iodine deficient, and on the increase in North America.1-2 Common in powder and tablet form, herbal websites are awash in testimonials of kelp’s efficacy. At Herb Wisdom, 73-year-old Patty Johnson writes, in part: “So many years trying to find something to help my being tired all the time. I grew up on an island off Maine, kelp everywhere, yet had no clue. But I do now. I have the powder, it’s deep green, in orange juice it’s manageable…if after 54 years, it can help me to not be so tired, plus all the other things it does naturally, I’m in. Why, why don’t they talk about this more…my doctor never, never, never mentioned the word kelp…I’m 73 and kelp is something I wish I’d been taking for 60 years.” Iodine is present in every cell of the human body; however, kelp doesn’t just nourish the thyroid gland. Seaweed (particularly dulse) also acts in reducing heavy metals concentration, including radioactive elements; is highly antiinflammatory/alkaline; and cleans the digestive tract, helping to prevent gastric cancer.1-2 Where iodine intake levels in Japan are many times higher than the US RDA of 150 micrograms and even the upper tolerable limit of 1,100 micrograms, there is near-non-existent breast cancer incidence with no adverse effects and many other benefits.1-2 SOUP OR SALAD?
Kelp is rated one of the top-10 food trends for 2016 by San Francisco-based food and beverage researcher CCD Innovations— in both the natural foods and pet food industries. For his part, Smith has been hard at work promoting sea greens in the marketplace, with corporate accounts including Google and a product called Sea Greens Kelp Noodles. Another emerging sea vegetable product is called Sea Snax. Aside from Japanese cuisine, consumers are adapting to seaweed salads, soups, stews, and other dishes. This with the help of creative chefs such as Barton Seaver, author of the 2016 book Superfood Seagreens: A Guide to Cooking with Power-Packed Seaweed, who prefer “sea vegetables” and “sea greens” for marketing kelp and its edible cousins (sea lettuce and Irish moss, for example). While awareness of edible seaweed has been growing throughout New England, it isn’t yet a viable industry in Massachusetts, as would-be farmers are hamstrung by red tape due to shoreline overcrowding and lack of commercial regulations.

Nevertheless, along with Ward’s efforts, the Martha’s Vineyard Shellfish Group has been testing sugar kelp for the future of island farmers and fishermen. Thus far in Rhode Island, Point Judith Kelp has been selling out at the South Kingston and Point Judith farmers markets, and has procured prominent restaurant accounts including the Coast Guard House of Narragansett and Ocean House in Westerly. With a distinct sourly-salty (“umami”) flavor, Blaney explains there are many ways to incorporate sea vegetables into everyday dishes, while also blending well in smoothies as frozen kelp cubes. SEA OF POTENTIAL
The winter season now approaching, seed lines are strung and kelp will begin to sprout—as much as 8–9 feet by spring harvest. As seaweed grabs hold, it’s important that consumers embrace all

farmers for improving local economies. Social innovations such as the University of New Hampshire’s “Harvest to Market,” for example, could facilitate this for both land and ocean. Blaney, whose own 18th-century ancestors ate kelp and used it as fertilizer and insulation, would like to see his budding venture inspire other displaced fishermen. His near-term goal is to be in every farmers market in Rhode Island by spring of next year. Ironically, Ward is cautious about kelp’s future (at least in Massachusetts), though he brightens at the possibility of a quality freeze-dried powder to stem the tide of cheap Asian imports. Smith, however, envisions kelp replacing corn and soy in the food supply (much of which is now genetically modified), and even used as a biofuel. He warns, as traditional farming becomes increasingly untenable and man is ultimately driven seaward, “Will we do it right or wrong?” Beyond the potential for alleviating world hunger and (as Yarish points out) ocean pollution, time will tell whether kelp grows to supplant kale in popularity. Analysts expect consumers will continue acquiring a healthy curiosity and taste for sea vegetables. The fact that these farmers are experiencing increased media exposure is positive for driving the market—with Ward receiving as much as several media inquiries per week, while Blaney is set to be the subject of an upcoming documentary by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. For inquisitive palates, local sea vegetables can be ordered online from Ward Aquafarms, Ocean Approved, Thimble Island Oyster, and by spring of 2017, Point Judith Kelp. They can also be found at health food stores, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and similar venues. H Rob Saint Laurent, MEd is the author of FitWorks!

Secrets of long-term love by Andrew Aaron, LICSW
n the big world, most of us are relatively unimportant. Within love relationships is an entirely different matter. Not feeling important to our romantic partner causes pain and disappointment. Being important, special, and cherished not only is a common expectation within romantic relationships, but if not offered, becomes a point of growing dissatisfaction that exposes the relationship to the risk of dissolution. Economics tell us that when something becomes common and easily obtainable, its value drops. The same concept holds true between partners in long-term relationships; the partner, already obtained, becomes common—a factor that erodes specialness. Being taken for granted develops easily. Another factor is referred to in the well-worn phrase, “familiarity breeds contempt.” Knowing the partner well means knowing painfully his or her human limitations, frailties, insensitivities, and insecurities. Such qualities are not endearing. Success at maintaining a relationship at a positive level demands efforts which counteract such seemingly natural but erosive forces. Shouldn’t feeling good and special just come naturally? When experiencing newness, excitement and good feelings arise spontaneously. When any experience, person, place, or thing grows familiar, it loses the luster of novelty as it joins the ranks of the ordinary; its excitement wears off. Anything of value—including a satisfying love relationship, building a successful business, or raising a healthy child—takes effort to achieve. Hard work, commitment, and dedication will be needed; otherwise, the value will not be achieved. Giving your best to that which you wish to create is essential for success. A recipe for maintaining some of the excitement that comes when a love connection is new, through to when the bond is older, includes making consistent effort to show that the other is important, special, and cherished. It results in the other feeling loved. As a young child, each of us needed this same kind of loving attention from our parents. If given, this high regard helped us to develop emotional security, positive self-esteem, and resiliency. Unfortunately, many of us did not receive this kind of 52 november 2016
compassionate attention. Our love relationships are the second chance to give and receive this kind of loving attention. The words, “You are special and important” may not be necessary, but to show it in thoughtful and careful action is necessary. If the second chance is well adopted, emotional and relational healing and deep positive bonding is possible. In every love relationship, partners emotionally “parent” each other. Rather than a pathological interaction of a power struggle, this parenting is positive if it is loving and patient. Couples run into problems when partner interactions provoke rejection, anxiety, disappointment, and fear of being a failure. Showing the other that he or she is important and treating the other in a cherishing way soothe such painful feelings. Communicating importance is done by placing his or her emotional well-being at a high priority. Responding compassionately to a partner in pain or discomfort conveys importance by demonstrating that “I am here for you.” Communicating that the partner is special is accomplished by consistently having his or her back at all times— meaning that support will be offered when needed. Additionally, actions that show that the partner is repeatedly chosen, behaviorally communicates that “the partner alone is mine” and serves to cultivate specialness. Cherishing happens when being highly responsive so as to keep the other safe by consistently showing up to protect him or her from discomfort, or difficult or potentially harmful situations. The kind of close relationship that most partners seek and dream about is only obtainable when partners are successful at creating a safe relationship bond which is sensitive to well-being. Coming from emotionally tough family environments, some partners may scoff at the level of sensitivity needed, viewing it as rewarding weakness— but such a perspective is a thinly veiled defensive expression of personal pain and vulnerability. Sensitivity is a strength that serves couples well while they demonstrate that the other is important, special, and cherished.

Holiday Art Show Ready To Roll
T
he Foundry Artists Association, one of Rhode Island’s most well-recognized creative organizations, has announced the dates of its 34th premier art event for spectacular holiday shopping. This much-anticipated art sale is planned to take place over a two-week period, beginning December 2–4, followed by a second wave of opening days on December 9–11. A popular and festive New England holiday tradition, the Foundry Artists Association offers patrons the opportunity to view and purchase unique, high-quality works by over 60 regional artists, selected by a jury. Categories of fine art and crafts range from art glass to wood and include painting, sculpture, metal, fiber, mixed media, jewelry, ceramics, photography, millinery, artisan beauty products, handmade books, and furniture. The show will once again be held at the historic Pawtucket Armory, 172 Exchange Street in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, with shoppers expected to come from Boston and points north, as well as from Cape Cod and Connecticut—due to the Armory’s convenient location off I-95. This year’s Gala Opening Night will feature live music and refreshments. Other highlights will include a silent auction
62 november 2016
showcasing donated items by each of the Foundry Artists—for the benefit of two Rhode Island-based charities: We Share Hope (wesharaehope.org) and Born to be Wild (hawkri.org). During the second weekend, there will be featured artists demonstrations and an artist’s showcase displaying one-off works and unique collaborations. The event times are Fridays, noon–8 p.m.; and Saturday and Sundays, 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Admission and parking are free with handicap-access available. This community of artists opened their I-95 Foundry Building studios in downtown Providence to the public during the holiday season many years ago. Then in 1995, when the Foundry Building was converted to office space, its artists scattered to studios throughout the region. With the departure of the National Guard from its 1894 castle-like landmark in Pawtucket, the Foundry Artists’ annual shows have supported the renovation of the Pawtucket Armory to its present function as a permanent cultural and educational landmark for the arts.

Dakota Jackson to be Special Guest at the Boston Home DĂŠcor Show
64 november 2016
Below: Renowned furniture designer Dakota Jackson is the Keynote Speaker with a talk on Friday. Opposite page: Richard LaVigne of Knollwood Antiques at the 2015 Show.
“It’s thrilling to visit Boston, a city that I love, and at the same time to be able to lend my support to these two organizations which have been working for three decades on the front lines of the fight against AIDS” Dakota Jackson
nce again the Boston Home Décor Show has announced their muchanticipated show which features a broad range of furniture, decora- tive arts, textiles, fine art, and design—with exhibitors offering everything from antiques to the finest in contemporary home décor. The show was launched to critical acclaim in 2015 and was created to showcase both retail and wholesale design businesses, fine art galleries, and bespoke artisans from Boston and beyond. The show offers both interior designers and consumers new resources, inspiration, and access to home design and home décor experts and a number of special programs, panels, and book signings. Dakota Jackson, a leading figure in American furniture design, will be a special guest at the Gala Preview for the Second Annual Boston Home Décor Show, November 17–20, 2016. His appearance at the Gala and his keynote presentation the following day at the public opening of the three-day expo will help benefit the Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA) and a local Boston AIDS service organization, Community Research Initiative of New England (CRI).
“It’s thrilling to visit Boston, a city that I love, and at the same time to be able to lend my support to these two organizations which have been working for three decades on the front lines of the fight against AIDS,” comments Jackson. “We have sadly lost so many talented design colleagues over the years, and as a community, we have a real champion in DIFFA.” DIFFA was founded in 1984, mobilizing the immense resources and creativity of the design community. Today DIFFA is a national foundation based in New York City with chapters and community partners across the country that, working together, have provided more than $41 million to hundreds of HIV/AIDS organizations nationwide. Established in 1989 in Boston, CRI is an independent, nonprofit, community-based organization dedicated to leading the way in HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C (HCV) clinical research and ensuring access to lifesaving HIV medications and health insurance coverage for those in need. Since the inception of his design practice in 1970, Jackson has been a leading figure in American furniture design and manufacturing. His appearances in Boston will come on the heels of the release of his “Symphony Collection,” an impeccably engineered and crafted furniture group inspired by a selection of musical style and references. The collection will be featured at the Boston Home Décor Show, courtesy
of the M-Geough, the showroom at Boston Design Center that represents Jackson’s work in New England. Jackson’s work can be found in the collections of some of the world’s leading museums, including the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Germany’s Architecture Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, New York’s Museum of Art and Design, the Chicago Athenæum, and the London Design Museum. Jackson will present the keynote program at the three-day expo on Friday, November 18 at 1:00 p.m. in the Lecture Hall at the show. The weekend show takes place Friday, November 18 from 1:00–8:00 p.m., Saturday, November 19 from 11:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m., and Sunday, November 20 from 11:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Weekend tickets are $15, under 12 free. Admission includes special complimentary programs, re-admission, catalog, and coat check. A bistro café and discount and valet parking are also available. For details call 617363-0405. For general information visit: bostonhomedecorshow.com. The Host Committee of design industry sponsors and patrons fully underwrites the costs of the Gala Preview on Thursday evening November 17 from 5:30–8:30 p.m., ensuring that 100 percent of the ticket proceeds from the event benefit DIFFA and CRI. Tickets to the Gala Preview are $250 for the 5:30 p.m. VIP Reception or $125 for the 6:30 p.m. Gala. november 2016 65

It Was All Good at the Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival
66 november 2016
S
ome call it the best wine festival in the country, while others claimed that this year’s 11th annual event was the organization’s, “Best one ever!” ¶ Over an extended weekend, thousands of guests, staff, chefs, and wine connoisseurs, descended on the “cottages” and lawns that sprinkled the stately roadway known as Bellevue Avenue—just as the summer wound down. ¶ This year’s festival kicked off with a Thursday evening Bordeaux Dinner at the Elms, with Friday ushering in the Wine & Rosecliff Gala. New to the event card was the Vintner Dinner-Women in Whites, with a menu inspired by Julia Child. ¶ Naturally, the grounds at the Marble House were flooded with new guests, as well as alumni, for The Grand Tasting events, held on Saturday and Sunday. ¶ The crowds enjoyed wines, food, celebrity chef demonstrations, artisanal food purveyors, and hours of socializing at this spectacular property.
