SUMMER

PREVIEWS What makes Nantucket more than just a beautiful beach community is the arts and culture, which are an integral part of the island. As the local media sponsor of the Nantucket

Book Festival, which runs from June 19th through the 21st, and a fan of the Nantucket Film Festival, N Magazine celebrates these events with both our cover feature on Ben Stiller and a profile of Book Festival headliner, Ishmael Beah, who will be speaking on the island.

Rob Cocuzzo’s interview with Ben Stiller, not surpris-

ingly, reveals the humorous side of one of America’s leading comedic actors, but also sheds light on some of his memories of Nantucket. Summer resident, writer Mary Haft, presents a more serious take on a former child soldier from Sierra Leone named Ishmael Beah, who through the written word has not only become a top selling author, but one whose writings saved his life. On the theme of arts and entertainment, we get a sneak peek at the Theatre

Workshop’s upcoming season under the new leadership of managing director, Jonathan Jensen, and artistic director, Justin Cerne. N Magazine’s chief photog-

rapher, Kit Noble, has produced a stunning series of shots depicting TWN actors at work. As Nantucket’s population continues to evolve, new types of leaders emerge in this community. N contributor Josh Gray profiles Maria Partida, who serves as an advocate to the island’s growing Hispanic population, and who, as a translator, has helped bridge the growing language gap on Nantucket. Lastly, in a story that returns to Nantucket’s roots, we catch up with Captain

Bill Blount of the Ruthie B in a story about how the Nantucket community rallied

around him to keep the last of Nantucket’s commercial fishing boats afloat. Blount is a true old salt, whose hard work and spirit of innovation has kept this fading industry alive on the island. There is nothing that better combines all aspects of Nantucket than going to the beach and reading a good book (or magazine), and we hope you take advantage of the terrific festivals on the island this month. Sincerely,

N magazine

How can we make a gift that benefits all of Nantucket? Introducing

The Nantucket Fund

The Community Foundation’s Nantucket Fund™ was specifically designed to enable donors to help the most vulnerable segments of the Nantucket population with one single gift. Your donations to the Nantucket Fund™ can make a life altering difference to those in need who live on an island of plenty. As shocking as it may sound, over 12% of Nantucketers live below the poverty level. Nearly 10% of the Island’s year-round community rely on the Nantucket Food Pantry to avoid hunger. An estimated 750 people have no place to live, and often call a car their home. An increasing number of Island residents also experience mental illness and substance abuse disorders – invisible brain diseases that cause immeasurable suffering if left untreated. Beneath Nantucket’s affluent exterior is a population that truly needs your help. To make our island a place where everyone can live in dignity, your contribution is critical. Please give generously to The Nantucket Fund™.

BEACH BOD CHEATSHEET Written & Demonstrated by Isaiah Truyman Photography by Kit Noble

Bathing suit season is almost upon us. If you skipped out on the gym this winter, not to worry, here’s a foolproof plan to get beach-ready in a month or less—no equipment required. Each of these exercises will take approximately one minute, with one minute of rest after completing all four. Do 2-3 circuits for a 10-15 minute workout and get ready to strut your stuff in the sun come July.

SKIPPING Trains your entire body, burning calories and targeting your hips, shoulders and core. Skip as many times as you can in 60 seconds and keep count so you can improve over time.

Be light on your feet, almost silent.

Punch your knees to the sky and swing your elbows back behind you, while standing as tall as possible (don’t look at your feet).

VERTICAL JUMP or LONG JUMP

PUSHUP with ROTATION

PLANK WITH OPPOSITE ARM & LEG REACH

Trains your entire body from fingertips to toes, with a focus on hips, legs, shoulders and core while also improving your overall power and ability to absorb forces.

Another full-body exercise with a focus on upper body and core including chest, shoulders, arms and deep abdominal stabilizers.

Focuses on your core stabilizers and rotational obliques - once again this will challenge your entire body but help to firm and strengthen that hard to tone mid section.

Stand in an athletic position, swing your arms down as you squat and quickly explode up and forward as far as you can.

Stretch out in the air, reach your arms forward and extend your legs fully at the hip, knee and ankle (this is called triple extension).

Perform a traditional pushup, which you can modify and do on your knees if needed.

After each repetition, reach one hand to the sky and look up. Hold this position for “one-Mississippi” and feel it deep in your core.

N magazine

Alternate sides each repetition and perform 10-12 repetitions or as many as you can in one minute.

Try skipping forwards, backwards, and side to side for a more challenging variation.

Land as softly as possible, bending at the hip and knee into a squat. Avoid loud thuds or jarring landings. Pretend you are a panther and stealth is your mission. Limit the repetitions as they are high impact, 6-10 is plenty.

Start on your elbows and toes, making sure to keep the hips elevated at the shoulder height (don’t sag in the middle).

Holding for one minute or longer is challenge enough for most of us, but adding a reach of the opposite arm and leg will allow you to take it to the next level.

The key is to keep your hips from moving side to side (stable in the middle) as your alternate limbs, move slow and smooth. Perform controlled repetitions for one minute or longer if possible.

Doors are scheduled to swing open at a number of hotly anticipated restaurants this late May and June. On Figawi weekend, The Grey Lady marks its Nantucket launch mid-island (read more about the Grey Lady in the Nosh News, page 52). Just next door to The Grey Lady, Brandt and Gabrielle Gould are slated to open Atlas in the former space of Marco Coelho’s Pazzo. Meanwhile, Marco has had a crew working furiously to open his new restaurant Station 21 downtown in the old space of Angela and

land, dropping to as low as $2.24 a gallon at some stations, the cost of a tank of gas on Nantucket has remained bloated to say the least. According to Motor Trend, the lowest price for a gallon of regular on Nantucket was $3.529 so far this year. Meanwhile the rest of Massachusetts has enjoyed a steady decline in prices since last June, when the cost of a gallon of unleaded peaked at $3.70. According to AAA, the price continued to drop week after week, until most recently when it jumped up by 12 cents to $2.46. At press time, the cost of a gallon of regular unleaded on Nantucket was a dollar and change more expensive: $3.59. Alas, much like expensive cocktails and ice cream cones, the highcost of gas is just another pretty price for living in paradise.

2of0MOVIE YEARS MAGIC Starting on June 24th, the Nantucket Film Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary with yet another star-studded program. Highlights include the opening night’s showing of The End of the Tour, an outdoor showing of Pixar’s Inside Out, and Magnolia Pictures’ Best of Enemies, which will close out the festival on the evening of June 29th. “This year’s 20th anniversary is a celebration of what the Nantucket Film Festival has accomplished over the past two decades as well as what we will be doing twenty years from now,” said the Film Festival’s executive director Mystelle Brabbée. “We look forward to showcasing the works of those who have made a distinct impact on cinema as well as the works of breakthrough talents.” Of these works, many Nantucketers are most excited to see Peter and John, which was written and directed by Jay Craven and filmed on Nantucket last spring.

that rental bookings have skyrocketed by 10% throughout the Cape and the Islands.

One of Manhattan’s hottest spots, The Grey Lady, makes its way back to its Nantucket namesake this Figawi. the old Bamboo. Three bars (one in the main dining room, one on the second floor, and one on the rear patio) will anchor a seating plan for more than seventy-five guests. Antique tin ceilings have been installed along with custom sconces, with new banquettes highlighting the space. Doing the majority of the work themselves, the owners are putting their signature mark on the business. “We hire tradesmen when we have to, but we are building the tables, doing the tile and grout all ourselves,” said Ryan. “That way if something goes wrong, as things often do, we know how to fix it.” The co-owners, who recently opened another Grey Lady location

In addition to special touches like fresh baked lobster rolls from Wicked Island Bakery and local oysters from the new Grey Lady oyster farm (owned by Nantucket fisherman Chuck Connors), the menu will feature an array of succulent appetizers including “big belly” Maine clams, short ribs and tuna carpaccio. Entrees will include selections such as pan roasted native flounder, grilled swordfish kabobs, a tuna tartare sandwich, custom burgers and a hearty fisherman’s stew.

A rare commodity on Nantucket, the restaurant will feature an array of cocktails on tap, including a signature Moscow mule. The partners even plan to have former Bamboo proprietor Shannon Haddon guest bartend during this inaugural season. Chadwick said he and his friends believe their brand will speak for itself at the mid-island locale. “New York City isn’t an easy place to do business, so we feel like we got our feet wet in the right place,” said Ryan Chadwick. “We’ve all spent a lot of time here on Nantucket and really hope that this restaurant ends up being our flagship location.” N magazine

The woman also witnessed dozens of hangings and other killings by military factions. Years later, in an effort to escape the horrid violence, she decided to make the dangerous journey to America in order to give her family a future. This took her through Guatemala and Mexico by foot and hidden in vehicles—only to end up nearly starved to death and abandoned just over the Texas border by human traffickers. In a desperate attempt to save herself, she called one of the smugglers who had abandoned her. The woman she spoke to on the phone took pity on her and she eventually made her way to Nantucket where some family members had already established themselves, receiving asylum from them and eventually the U.S. government. With tears running down her cheeks while recounting this story, Maria said it is for people like her that she does this work. Maria currently sits on several advisory boards in the school system as well as elsewhere in the Nantucket community. She was even asked to run for the school committee, but Maria said she’s not ready to take that on just yet. “I feel like people know me and I’ve always enjoyed volunteering,” she explained. “They just need someone who is willing to help, and because I have the language, I am able to give them what they want to say, but can’t. I know the island and the people. A lot of people have given me so much, I just want to give back.” The island’s spirit of generosity Maria spoke of at the Camp Safety Summit this spring manifests itself in a variety of ways.

WRITE TO

freedom Written by Mary Haft

How the written word transformed the life of Ishmael Beah — a journey that continues with a visit to the Nantucket Book Festival this June.

Having fled the killing fields of war in Sierra Leone, running for a new life in a new world, Ishmael Beah discovered the importance of words—words on a page. A former child soldier in Sierra Leone, Beah was brought to America, where schools were unwilling to accept this teenage boy because he had no report card and no records. “My words were not sufficient,” Beah says. “Do you really think when someone is running from war, running for your life, you are thinking about your report card?” This became the topic of his first essay, entitled “Why I Do Not Have a Report Card.” That essay—those words— propelled him into a scholarship at the United Nations International School, where he completed his high school years. “I began to realize words could become something that I could use to bring things to life,” he says. “Proof that I had existed.”

N MAGAZINE: Everyone knows you as

an actor, but can you talk about your work as a writer and a director and how it relates to your passion for the Nantucket Film Festival? BEN STILLER: Great films all begin with a great script. I know that’s a tired expression, but it’s true. Seeing new artists emerge from the festival is always inspiring. I have so many lasting relationships that have come out of this festival, both creatively and personally. It is a vibrant, creative space and it is about new talent and emerging filmmakers. Hard not to get inspired by that. N MAGAZINE: Can you talk about how

your parents have been committed to Nantucket and the festival over the years? BEN STILLER: My parents have been

involved with the festival for as long as I have. They have both had several films that screened at the festival, including The Daytrippers in 1996 and A Fish in a Bathtub in 1998. They’ve both participated in numerous Staged Readings, including one that I directed called Spectacle: Part One of the Mark Rosen Chronicle. For several years, my mom was the host of Late Night Storytelling, which is one of NFF’s most popular programs. And my dad loves collecting all the free T-shirts, which my mom and I love returning the next day to the wonderful and understanding festival workers who were actually selling them.

N MAGAZINE: One of your biggest influences on the festival is the

Comedy Roundtable. Why do you think there needs to be greater attention paid to comedy writers and the craft of screen writing in general? BEN STILLER: I saw the festival as an opportunity to gather a bunch

of great comedians, who could come to the island and talk about not just performing, but also writing their material, their processes, and their inspirations. I love how this has become a way for folks to put a face to all

Salt Written by Jason Graziadei

How the Nantucket community kept its last commercial fisherman staying afloat.

The ten thousand-pound basking shark came out of the water headfirst into Bill Blount’s net, thrashing in the stern ramp of his commercial dragger, the Ruthie B. Though they are the second largest fish in the world, basking sharks eat plankton, so they pose no threat to humans—at least when they’re still in the water. But this one, the size of a small bus, was now on Blount’s boat and big enough to injure him or worse as he worked to free it from his net. Blount, the captain of the last offshore commercial dragger out of Nantucket, was about sixty miles east of the island in the legendary fishing grounds of Georges Bank. As he attempted to cut the massive shark out of his net, Blount started to slip underneath it and got pinned. “I didn’t want to go under it,” he remembered. “The thing weighed 10,000 pounds!” Blount’s crew managed to grab him, and slowly pulled him out of the ramp and away from danger. Minutes later, they successfully freed the enormous fish, too. Two years after his run-in with the basking shark, Blount sat in the safety of the living room of his mid-island home on Vesper Lane on a chilly morning in March, recalling for me one of the countless stories from his decades spent plying the offshore waters of New England. Over the course of our conversation, Blount twice reminds me that his trade is “the most dangerous job in North America.” About once a year out on the water, he says, “there’s been a case when I should have lost my life.” Yet these days, it isn’t the inherent dangers of offshore fishing that have him worried. Blount is essentially trying to survive as a momand-pop venture in a consolidating industry that is in the throes of a painful collapse.

INTO AFRICA

N magazine

Written by Robert Cocuzzo

Photography by Catherine Porter

Adventure N Summer resident Stephanie Capuano is taking Nantucketers on mind-blowing African adventures. hen Stephanie Capuano drives down Milestone Road headed to Sconset, where her husband’s family has summered for four generations, she always makes sure to gaze out the window at the Serengeti. For her, the sight of Nantucket’s sprawling Middle Moors conjures vivid memories of her recent adventures in Africa, where she organizes luxurious, high-end safaris for a company called Tin Trunk Safari. During summer cocktail parties on Nantucket, it’s hard for Capuano not to gush over what a remarkable continent Africa is, but she inevitably gets asked the same question: Is it safe? “I wish I could shake everyone and say, ‘It’s not a scary place at all,’” Stephanie said. “Once you get there your mind is just blown. It’s the most humbling experience in the world because of its vastness and its beauty. You look out at all the land and the animals and you realize you’re this tiny speck in the world.” Stephanie became involved with Tin Trunk Safari through a longtime friend, Nella Nencini. Twelve years ago, Nella, a half Italian, half American academic went on a safari in Africa. The experience changed her life dramatically. Nella ended up moving to Kenya where she became a bush pilot and started a safari company offering high-end luxury tours. Three years ago, Nella asked Stephanie to join her. “We put together totally bespoke safaris,” explained Stephanie. “It’s based on what you want to do, how many people you are traveling with, what your travel style is, and how adventurous you are. We put together a perfect trip based on what your desires are.” You can trek in search of gorillas in Rwanda or go on a classic bush game drive in Kenya or Tanzania. If you want a seaside adventure go to Mozambique. Looking for a walking tour? Then total luxury, South Africa is the way to go.

THE TRIP ADVISER HOW MUCH? Prices ranges from $500 to $1,500 per day per person depending on the location, the activities, and the style of tour.

WHERE TO GO? Tin Truck offers safaris in East and South Africa, namely Zambia, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Botswana, Rwanda and South Africa.

WHEN TO GO? Ideally, book a year in advance so that you can stay at Tin Trunk’s top camps. As for weather, because of Africa’s location near the equator the weather is always warm.

NEED A VISA? Valid passports are required everywhere. Visa requirements vary country-to-country. American citizens generally have easy access to most African countries. For those countries where visas are required, they are easy to come by and many can be purchased upon arrival.

NEED ANY VACCINATIONS? It’s best to check with a travel doctor and the embassy of the countries to which you will travel to determine what is required. Tin Trunk will advise you on this based on where you are travelling. Tin Trunk will send you an extensive list of requirements and a packing list before travel.

Pictures ou might think that Nantucket is about as far away from the Hollywood lifestyle as you could get. With nary a neon light, billboard, or studio in sight, many visitors flock to this island for an escape from the busy streets of New York or L.A. to the cobblestones of downtown. In fact, Nantucket has long harbored a storied past of thriving arts and entertainment, which seems only fitting for a town that nowadays looks like it’s straight out of a movie. At the turn of the twentieth century, Nantucket (and ‘Sconset specifically) was known for its summer actors colony that attracted major stars of Broadway and film, many of whom spent the entire season on the island and brought their talents to these charming stages by the sea. Take a look at some of the colorful characters of Nantucket’s entertainment history past.
