Our new hospital is almost finished.

Our capital campaign isn’t. Yet. Nantucket’s new hospital has taken shape, but the capital campaign to build this state-of-the-art facility and complete new staff housing is not yet done. We are in the home stretch, but need your help to cross the finish line. Everyone who contributes a donation to this historic campaign – no matter the size – will have their name inscribed on the donor wall inside the new hospital when it opens.

To the thousands of Nantucket residents who have already contributed, we thank you. To those who have not yet given but are considering a donation, don’t miss your chance to be part of island history. Please join your friends and neighbors in giving to secure the future of our community hospital.

and visit this island possess unique and often unparalleled skills. That’s especially the case for our August cover star, Brynn Cartelli. Discovered while performing on Jetties Beach two summers ago, Cartelli wowed the celebrity judges in the most recent season of The Voice on NBC. At just fifteen years old, this summer resident became the youngest contestant to win the show, earning herself $100,000 and a recording contract. Last month, Cartelli returned to Nantucket, where her family has a summer home, for her first major cover shoot.

For years, Nantucket has also drawn political talent, ranging from presidential candidates to US senators to local selectmen. In this issue, we feature Rufus Gifford, Nancy Soderberg and Peter Tedeschi, three candidates running for Congress in the upcoming midterm elections.

Having served as US Ambassador to Denmark, Rufus Gifford has unique qualifications in his quest for the third congressional seat in Massachusetts. Nancy Soderberg also possesses an impressive resume, which includes serving an Ambas-

same name. Now, Tedeschi is looking to apply his business acumen to his quest for Congressman Bill Keating’s congressional seat, which includes representation of the Cape and the Islands.

On the scale of unique talents seen on this island, businessman and now famous horseman Sol Kumin is one-of-a-kind. A former Division I lacrosse player, Kumin has applied his winning instincts to the horseracing world, and he recently saw his horse Justify win the coveted Triple Crown. Kumin’s talent for picking winners defies statistical norms in the horseracing world. He was named Horseman of Year in 2016 after just years in the business.

The most difficult part of having great talent on Nantucket is when we lose a

person whose skills cannot be replicated. The sudden passing of beloved television political commentator Tim Russert sent shock waves around Nantucket and well beyond. Now, on the tenth anniversary of his death, Russert’s son, Luke, shares personal insights into his father’s love of the island and the legacy he left behind.

Speaking of stars, N Magazine gazes upon the many talents and contributions of America’s first female astronomer, Maria Mitchell, in celebration of the 200th anniversary of her birth. A woman who gained prominence in this otherwise maledominated discipline, Mitchell’s roots run deep in Nantucket.

As we soak in the August sun, those visiting Nantucket quickly learn that the brightest lights here do not come from the sky, but rather from those who make up one of the most fascinating talent pools anywhere in this country.

GRACING NANTUCKET

OUT FOR A VLOG

TOTALLY SCHUCKED

Will & Grace star Deborah Messing took Nantucket by storm last month, kicking off her Fourth of July vacation at the “Families Belong Together” march on the island, followed by fishing off the coast of Coatue. She supported close friend Ali Wentworth at a Mitchell’s Book Corner book signing, shopped at The Vault, and took in one of the island’s picture-perfect sunsets.

YouTube sensation Casey Neistat spent Fourth of July on the island with his family last month and took in the Nantucket scenery with a long beach run that he posted out to his 3.1 million followers on Instagram. This wasn’t Neistat’s first time on the island; the filmmaker has attended the Nantucket Project as a presenter in recent years.

When local bartender Tyler McDade won a thirty-minute, allyou-can-eat oyster buffet from The Raw Bar Yoho, he sucked up the opportunity to the fullest.

In twenty-two minutes, McDade downed one hundred oysters. The gut-busting feat was all captured by his friends, who live streamed the slurp fest on Instagram.

IN FULL SWING CASTINE SZWAJKOWSKI SERVES UP HER TOP FIVE REASONS FOR TAKING UP TENNIS THIS SUMMER

1

COORDINATION Tennis will have you running in different directions while hitting the ball at the same time.

You need to be vigilant to react to bounces as well as the other player’s movement. With time, tennis will help you synchronize these movements and greatly improve your coordination. Having good coordination helps prevent injury and reduces strain on muscles.

2

AGILITY With the constant deceleration, acceleration and change in direction, tennis is ranked as one of the top sports to increase your agility. Many have argued that agility is the most important factor in succeeding in a sport across the board. Conditioning your agility will help you in the athletic world and in your everyday life. As you begin to age, having strong agility will help prevent falls by speeding up your reaction time.

NTERTAINMENT

NEED TO READ NANTUCKET’S BELOVED BOOKWORM TIM EHRENBERG GIVES HIS FAVORITE READS FOR AUGUST

MR. FLOOD’S LAST RESORT BY JESS KIDD I have a soft spot for Irish literature ever since I read The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne, and Jess Kidd’s newest novel does not disappoint. Quirky and eccentric characters that seem larger than life, a great plot with a mysterious undertone, and twisted comedy make Mr. Flood’s Last Resort my FIRST recommendation for a hot August day! Kidd’s first novel Himself was one of my favorite books of 2016.

THE GREAT BELIEVERS BY REBECCA MAKKAI If the bright colored cover doesn’t catch your attention, the story inside sure will.

At once devastating and funny, hopeless and hopeful, The Great Believers brings to life a cast of men and women who lived through the early AIDS crisis. Two intertwining stories take us through the heartbreak of the eighties and the chaos of the contemporary world, as the characters struggle to find goodness in the midst of disaster. It’s important, moving fiction of a very real time in our history.

PROVIDENCE BY CAROLINE KEPNES I have had a literary crush on author Caroline Kepnes ever since her debut novel YOU graced my bookshelf. I feel the same with her newest, Providence. Think Stranger Things meets your favorite love story, and you’ll get this beautifully written account N magazine

of a boy who loves a girl, is kidnapped and then returns with an uncontrollable power

that endangers anyone he has intense feelings for. It explores the complex relationship between love and identity and is surprising and suspenseful with every sentence.

SPYING ON WHALES: THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF EARTH’S MOST AWESOME CREATURES BY NICK PYENSON Whales. We see them on everything around Nantucket from key chains to wooden sculptures to coffee mugs to souvenir t-shirts. But what do we really know about one of the Earth’s most intelligent and largest animals? Pyenson’s research gives us answers in a highly entertaining and informative story to better understand these enigmatic creatures and the scientists who study them. I love books about animals (The Soul of an Octopus and H is for Hawk being two favorites), and Spying on Whales was a great new literary discovery this month.

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LULULEMONS BY LAUREN WEISBERGER When life gives you lemons…read this book! A guilty pleasure read here that I don’t feel that guilty about. Remember Miranda Priestly’s first assistant, Emily, from The Devil Wears Prada? Well now she is a hugely successful image consultant who just landed a client of a lifetime. It’s as dishy as a gossip magazine, but with a whole lot of heart, funny dialogue and potato-chip page turning (just one more page!) Make sure a copy of this book is in your beach bag this month.

OCEAN MEETS SKY BY THE FAN BROTHERS This may just be one of the most beautifully illustrated books I have ever seen. It’s the story of Finn. Finn lives by the sea and the sea lives by him. Every time he looks out his window it’s a constant reminder of the stories his grandfather told him about the place where the ocean meets the sky. Where whales and jellyfish soar, and birds and will activate anyone’s imagination with its stunning details.

Come out to Surfside Beach to spend the evening with the star staff of Maria Mitchell and relish in the expansive nightscape.

PRIVATE VIEWING

On August 10th, folks will gather

at Sankaty Head to celebrate and support the vital work of Good Sports. Based off-island, Good Sports is a nonprofit that equips youngsters around the country, including on Nantucket, with sneakers, cleats and other sports equipment to pursue their dreams on the field.

With youth sports on the decline across the country due to budget cuts, Good Sports seeks to keep kids literally up and running. To help the cause or purchase tickets to the August 10th event, visit Goodsports.org.

Passion, laughter, romance, anger and love will set the stage for the White Heron’s newest play Private Lives, featuring three Tony-nominated actors. “We are so pleased to have these actors in our summer company,”

said Lynne Bolton, White Heron’s artistic director. “Private Lives will be a first for Nantucket audiences in terms of the caliber of performances and the set, lighting and sound design. We have a very intimate N magazine

he quit, she insisted that he meet with her friend Tom Kershaw, the owner of Cheers, whom she had given explicit instructions to convince her son not to enter the restaurant industry.

Larner’s restaurant acumen that he offered to sell him one of his own locations. Two weeks later, Charlie Larner had his first restaurant, Mija Cantina in Faneuil Hall.

Since then, Larner has been on a tear, opening up Nantucket-style restaurants on Boston’s waterfront that are changing the dynamic of their neighborhoods. First came Pier 6 in Charlestown’s Navy Yard. Before diving into the restaurant industry, Larner had bellied up to the bar at what was then Tavern on the Water. With a staggering view of Boston Harbor and the city skyline, he knew this restaurant could be something more than just a watering hole. Larner

bought Tavern on the Water and transformed it to an upscale restaurant that still retained its fun-loving local appeal.

As business at Pier 6 began to boom, Larner was just getting started. Directly across the harbor he spotted a new target in the up-and-coming neighborhood of East Boston. Last year, he opened The Reel House on the ground floor of The Eddy luxury apartment complex. This new development provided a fresh canvas, and Larner and his team created a nautically-inspired restaurant that smacks of Nantucket.

Above the bar, the frame of a hull makes up the ceiling, while portal windows are repurposed as hanging light fixtures.

The comfy booths feel plucked from a luxury yacht, with navy blue leather and glossy wood counters. Bringing the outside in, there are two faux olive trees rising from the hardwood floors.

All of this has a view of Boston Harbor through a wall of glass, providing one of the most dramatic views of the city.

To helm the cuisine, Larner brought in executive chef Mark Orfaly, the James Beard winner formerly of the Beehive in the South End. From a slew of fresh oysters to half-lobster cocktail to tuna poke to a New England-style clambake, the Reel House menu brings island flavors to the city. Biting into a buttery lobster tail on the expansive back patio with a light breeze coming off the harbor you feel transported to the docks of Straight Wharf.

“I didn’t get into this business to open one restaurant,” Larner says, boarding the water taxi that he charters each day to bring guests back and forth between Pier 6 and the Reel House.

“I want to open a bunch.” True to his word, Larner is in the process of opening a second Mija Cantina location in the Jet Blue terminal at Logan Airport, as well as another Reel House in Marina Bay. “I’m also avidly looking for my location on Nantucket,” he says. “However, I need to find the land, because what history has shown, nobody is going to talk Charlie Larner out of his grand plans—not even his dear mother.

LOCAL SURF PRODIGY ROBBIE GOODWIN DROPS IN ON THE PRO-SURFING SCENE

ourteen-year-old summer resident Robbie Goodwin caught the biggest wave of his young career recently when he was selected to join the US Surfing National Junior team. At 5’3”

A

Cape Cod native, Goodwin’s surf odyssey began on Nantucket at the tender age of five when his father began pushing him

into waves at Cisco Beach. By the age of seven, Robbie Goodwin was paddling into the lineup on his own. He broke into the pro-surfing scene in 2016 when he won the U-12 nationals in Salt Creek, California, scoring a perfect ten on one of his rides. Rip Curl and J7 surfboards quickly took notice and offered him sponsorships. A wave of success began to build.

More recently, Goodwin competed in a three-day training event in Cocoa Beach, Florida held by Coach Buran. Offshore winds and barreling waves gave him perfect conditions to put his surfing prowess on full display. “His smooth style and power rail game surfing looked years beyond his age,” Buran gushed about the youngster. “Out of the forty-two surfers I viewed at training sessions, Robbie was tops.”

Beyond flaunting his skills on the West Coast, Goodwin might now be able to compete on the world stage. According to Greg Cruse, the CEO of USA Surfing, Goodwin and his fellow teammates show “great promise not just for the 2020 Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo but also 2024 Games in Paris and the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.”

In the meantime, when he’s not traveling to exotic surf spots, Goodwin can still be found paddling into the lineup at Cisco. No doubt Goodwin will be dropping in on some seriously sized waves in the years come, delivering perfect ten rides and leaving competitors quivering in his wake. But no matter how far he goes, when asked where his favorite place to surf is, this unassuming kid will say: “Where

O

n a cool October night in 1847, Maria Mitchell sat on the roof of the Pacific National Bank looking up at the stars.

The twenty-nine-year-old often took to this perch at the head of Main Street, where her father served as the bank’s president, to study the night sky through her family’s two-inch reflecting telescope. Suddenly, a streak of blurry light ripped overhead. She’d never seen anything like it and ran to get her father.

REMEMBERING

RUSSERT TEN YEARS SINCE TIM RUSSERT’S PASSING, HIS SON LUKE REMEMBERS ONE OF THE ISLAND’S MOST BELOVED RESIDENTS

E

very August, the legacy of the late, great Tim Russert is remembered on Nantucket at the Boys & Girls Club Summer Groove cel-

ebration. A former member and lifelong supporter of the Club, Russert served as the Summer Groove’s host until his untimely passing in 2008. With this summer marking a decade since Russert’s death, N Magazine spoke to his son Luke about what his father loved about Nantucket, the Boys & Girls Club, and living on island time.

N MAGAZINE: What were the things about Nantucket that your father connected to most?

RUSSERT: He first visited the island as a college student in the early seventies. Back then his summer rental was the bench outside The Hub ‘til he got a living room floor after some smooth talking at a beach party. He was attracted not only to the natural beauty and the people, but the vibe. Everyone thinks of my dad as this hard hitting journalist, but he went to Woodstock and was part of that generation. The relaxed pace of the island appealed to him in the seventies and for the rest of his life. As life got more hectic, Nantucket became the place where he could hold onto that vibe from the seventies, that time when he was just a kid crashing on a living room floor and taking in everything the island had to offer.

N magazine

97

N MAGAZINE: Was he able to disconnect from the news of the day when he was on-island?

RUSSERT: He’d disconnect to the best of his abilities.

Remember, he passed away before WIFI became what it is today. It was a struggle for him, even in the nineties. At our house in Madaket, he’d carry what was roughly a satellite phone in case anything happened. However, there were days when he totally tuned out and those were a thrill to see and experience. One thing he was adamant about was never doing TV hits from Nantucket. He thought it was disrespectful to the island and to the audience at home, too.

N MAGAZINE: Of the

Club. How did supporting the club on Nantucket fit in his life?

”He was drawn to the idea that you came to Nantucket not to show off your wealth but to get away from the outside world and relax. The deepest bonds he had on island were with those crusty old summer residents who had holes in their khakis, fish guts on their shirt and drove an old beat up Wagoneer.”

RUSSERT: His dad was a member of the club in South Buffalo, as was he. I was a member in DC. It gets to the idea of giving kids a chance. My father was well aware of the struggles faced by folks working long hours on-island and knew that parents couldn’t always be there. Kids don’t do well with idle time. My father wanted to give them a chance to succeed, and the club did and continues to do

n the middle of a windswept field at Tom Nevers’ southernmost edge, a semicircular, ruststreaked portal emerges from a grassy hillock

like the hatch of a landlocked submarine or a steampunk hobbit hole. Locals know it simply as the bunker. Five decades ago, this makeshift structure embodied the doomsday fears of a nation in the grip of the Cold War. Shortly before President John F. Kennedy took office in 1961, the Soviets announced they had longrange missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads anywhere in the world. The following year, Navy Seabees on Nantucket cobbled together a subterra-

nean structure from sections of Quonset huts. If the Russians acted on their threat to launch a first-strike missile attack against the US, Kennedy and his family would be secreted from Hyannis Port to the Nantucket bunker.

Now, nearly thirty years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the JFK bunker is reemerging as a possible portal to this Cold War history. Spearheading the effort is Cheryl Emery, chair of the town’s Parks and Recreation Commission. Emery hopes that if restored to its original look and feel, the bunker could recreate a critical moment in history and help revitalize a neglected corner of the island.

ESCAPE ARTIST WRITTEN BY ROBERT COCUZZO

ONE LOCAL ARTIST’S UNBELIEVABLE JOURNEY TO FREEDOM

E

ighteen years ago, Nantucket resident Paul Galschneider was sitting in a maximumsecurity prison cell giving Steve “The Rifle-

man” Flemmi a foot massage. He was befriended by the legendary mobster of Whitey Bulger’s Winter Hill Gang on his very first day on H3-Block in Plymouth County Correctional Facility. All the bigtime gangsters like “Cadillac” Frank Salemme and Bobby DeLuca were on that block. But Galschneider had no idea who these convicted murderers were, so when Stephen Flemmi asked him to be his cellmate, Galschneider agreed.

For the better part of eighteen months, Galschneider lived in an eight-by-fourteen-foot cell with one of the most notorious gangsters in American history. Although they had little in common, the two became inseparable friends. “It’s hard for me to believe all the horrible things they say he did,” Galschneider says. “Stevie was a good friend to me.”

P

aul Galschneider was born in Czechoslovakia during the Cold War. At the age of ten, his parents decided to move to Austria where his mother was born and still had family. In 1967, they applied for a permit that would legally allow the

family to go back and forth between the two neighboring countries. A year later, the Prague Spring broke out, prompting the

Soviet Union to invade Czechoslovakia and seize control. While many Czechoslovakians fled into Austria amidst the tumult, Galschneider said his family stayed behind, determined to obtain a permit from the government to legally leave the country, which they received a year later.

Living in his mother’s native Austria, Galschneider taught himself to speak German and became a plumber. He eventually married and had a child. He was still legally a citizen of Czechoslovakia and often returned to see friends and family, but with each visit home,

he saw how the grips of communism were getting tighter and tighter.

— Paul Galschneider

“There was no freedom there,” he remembers. “It was a police state.

They were arresting people at will.” After he was detained under suspicion of smuggling people out of Czechoslovakia and into Austria—which today he admits to doing—Galschneider realized his native country was no longer his home. With that, he turned his sights to the West.

“America was always a dream for me,” he says. “Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, cowboys and Indians—I watched everything about America on television.” In 1985, Galschneider arrived in Boston with his wife and young daughter on a ninety-day vacation visa. He checked into a hotel and called one of the only other Czechoslovakians he knew living in the United States, Robert Hutyura.

Hutyura was arguably the most famous Czechoslovakian in the world at the time. He had become an international news sensation after escaping Czechoslovakia with his wife and two children in a hot air balloon that he created out of rubber raincoats. After landing safely in Austria, Hutyura had been interviewed by Germany’s biggest magazine, and Paul Galschneider was his translator. Hutyura was now living in Boulder, Colorado and told Galschneider to bring his family west.

Within weeks of moving to Boulder, Galschneider said he hired a lawyer and applied for political asylum from the communist police state that was now Czechoslovakia. He loved the United States and wanted to stay. But his application befuddled N magazine

he was a legal citizen of Czechoslovakia, but he also had that permit to live in Austria. Why wouldn’t he just live in Austria? The confusion landed Galschneider’s asylum application in limbo.

Over the next six years while his application lingered, Galschneider pin-balled around the United States, from Boulder to New Jersey to New Bedford to eventually Nantucket. He registered as a documented foreigner, received a social security card and began paying taxes.

On Nantucket, he bought a home just outside of town and built an art studio in his backyard. During his time in the United States, Galschneider not only taught himself how to speak English, but also how to paint.

Despite having no formal training, his impressionist works sold for hundreds and then thousands of dollars.

But over those years, Galschneider’s personal

to one another. When Galschneider noticed that Flemmi was suffering from a foot ailment, he offered to try and fix it with reflexology. “After a few treatments working on his feet, the problem went away,” Galschneider says. “I remember Stevie looking up from his bottom bunk and saying, ‘Pavel, you’re a genius.’”

Months dropped off the calendar and Galschneider’s hope began to wane. Unbeknownst to him, his immigration case had fallen through the cracks. He was now one of the many illegal aliens waiting years in prison for deportation—without ever going before a judge. After eighteen months in prison, Galschneider’s then-girlfriend on Nantucket hired a top im-

migration lawyer in Boston named Howard Silverman. Silverman took one look at the case and realized that Galschneider had been forgotten by the system. Within two weeks, Silverman had Galschneider out a free man.

For the past eighteen years, Paul Galschneider has lived a quiet life on Nantucket. He eventually returned to his home on the island where he continues to paint in his studio. Now sixty-one years old, he has been in the United States for more than half his life and hopes to remain on Nantucket for the rest of his days.

But recently his deportation case was reopened. Despite checking in with immigration every year, “sometimes twice a year,” Galschneider says President Trump’s new emphasis of deporting immigrants living in the country illegally has put him in INS’s crosshairs. When he learned about

this, Galschneider started writing a letter each week to the White House pleading for President Trump to grant him asylum. A month ago, the White House responded with a letter indicating that they will review his case. Until he gets the final verdict, however, Paul Galschneider continues to live in fear as a man without a country.

HOW FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD BRYNN CARTELLI WENT FROM SINGING ON THE STREETS OF NANTUCKET TO BEING CROWNED THE WINNER OF THE VOICE Simply put, Brynn Cartelli is a phenomenon.

Finigan of Nantucket blACKbook, who, after connecting with her over Instagram, eventually had the young musician play at her Happy Place boutique last August. “I have this video of her singing The Indigo Girls “Galileo” and that line ‘How long ‘til my soul gets it right/ Can any human being ever reach the highest light’ really stuck with me…’ It’s been a true joy to watch her highest light continue to come forth from the cobblestone streets of Nan-

tucket to the stage of The Voice.”

Born and raised in Longmeadow, Massachusetts, Cartelli began playing piano at the age of five. “My parents never had to make me practice,” she laughs.

“They would actually have to try and get me off the piano.” Her parents introduced her to classical, country and soul. From the piano, she began taking voice lessons and picked up the guitar in middle school. “Then all of a sudden my music career started happening very fast,” she says.

Now a bona fide celebrity, Cartelli’s life has changed dramatically. She’s now writing her first album while working with a private tutor to try and get her caught up in the schoolwork that

One thing that hasn’t changed is Cartelli’s love for Nantucket.

She and her family have been vacationing here since 2009, and bought a summer home in town last Stroll. They were on Nantucket last month and will be here again in August. As has been the case for many artists before her, the Grey Lady still serves as a muse for the young musician.

“I was sitting in my living room after I won The Voice, writing a song for Nantucket,” she says. “It all hit me that everything that happened on Nantucket led me to where I am now.”

When asked if the song would appear on her album, Cartelli said no—it’s too personal. Instead, she wants to perform it live on the island for all those people who made her career possible and helped her find her voice.

MEET THE CAST OF CHARACTERS WHO MAKE THE THEATRE WORKSHOP OF NANTUCKET POSSIBLE

W

hen it comes to pulling off a performance at the Theatre Workshop of Nantucket

(TWN), there’s a whole lot happening behind the scenes. Stage hands jockey props on and off the set. Makeup artists feverishly give actors touch ups while costume designers fine tune their wardrobes.

There are lighting technicians, sound engineers, choreographers and a director orchestrating the actors’ every move. But behind this talented troupe, there’s another cast of characters who have helped make the Theatre Workshop the longest running theater on Nantucket. Meet the producers.

“Everything we do depends on these people who are willing to take a creative journey with us.”

— Justin Cerne, TWN’s artistic director

Each show at the Theatre Workshop depends on the generosity of a group of around twenty devoted producers who champion the performances through financial support. “Everything we do depends on these people who are willing to take a creative journey with us,” says TWN’s artistic director Justin Cerne. “Along with the incredible importance of financial support, our producers are also some of our biggest advocates and truly believe in what we are able to breathe life into on the stage.” Thanks to this group of passionate producers, the Theatre Workshop continues to thrive sixtytwo years after its first show.

and brilliant at times. There was a marvelous sense of commitment.” Seinfeld has seen TWN grow from those humble beginnings to showing world-class performances with the same intimacy she remembers from the early days. “It has taken all kinds of people to keep the glass half full,” she says. “We have celebrated, kept growing, refused to knock things and yes, sometimes we flipped out!” she laughs. “But, we continue to dream on and have passionate desire to build on the sixty-two years of effort from a multitude of caring people.”

“I’ve done five productions with TWN, and I’m always blown away by the caliber of the actors, whether they’re Equity actors from New York or islanders,” says Gottwald. “The strength of the actors ultimately comes down to our artistic director Justin Cerne’s incomparable leadership. He has an uncanny ability to cast well. The quality of the productions raises my game, allows me to take risks and grow as an actor, which carries into my artistic life off-island.”

to the island, including The Sound of Music, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Footloose, which is the centerpiece production this summer. “What these people support with their time and treasure are truly Nantucket productions,” says Cerne of TWN’s producers. “We are a regional theater that brings together local talent with off island talent, to create incredible theatrical experiences for audiences to enjoy.”

Sharing the leadership role with Cerne is Susan Lucier, TWN’s current president. An accomplished Equity actress in her own right, she has many performances under her belt. As president, Lucier takes a hands-on approach.

Yet, beyond her immediate role at the theater, she, like her fellow producers, views TWN as a vital stitch in the cultural fabric of Nantucket, one that they’re committed to continuing. “Theatre Workshop is a lynchpin of the island arts community,” Lucier says.

“The company has been a creative inspiration to generations of Nantucketers by providing a place to learn, to think, to make friends, to laugh and cry and to express their views of the world around them.”

SOL KUMIN’S WILD RIDE TO THE TRIPLE CROWN WINNER’S CIRCLE

132

NDEPTH

S

ol Kumin loves to win. Whether he was ripping goals for Johns Hopkins in the NCAA Lacrosse Tournament or later launching a billion-dollar hedge fund named after one of his favorite spots on Nantucket, Kumin thrives on beating the field. But this spring,

this forty-three-year-old Madaket summer resident set a new bar for victory that might just be impossible for him to replicate.

Winning the Triple Crown is widely regarded as the most coveted achievement in all of sports. In its 143-year history, only thirteen have ever taken home this holy grail of horse racing by winning the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes in a single season. This spring, Sol Kumin’s horse Justify became that lucky number thirteen. Making the feat all the more improbable was that Kumin won the Triple Crown after only a handful of years since entering the competitive world of horseracing. What’s more, his race for the Triple Crown actually began on Nantucket.

After several seasons renting on the island, Kumin and his wife Elizabeth bought a small beach shack out in Madaket in 2004. “We knew that in five or fifteen years, it was going to end up in the ocean [due to erosion],” he says. “So we moved it three or four times to where it is now.” With each move and subsequent renovation, Kumin became better and better friends with N magazine

Jay Hanley of Hanley Construction. When he wasn’t

134

building houses on Nantucket, Hanley was launching

another career owning race horses. He thought Kumin would enjoy the competition of the track. The two eventually teamed up and created Sheep Pond Partners with Nantucket summer residents Jim Carey and Jim Pallotta. They bought four horses, one of which became arguably the greatest filly in the world at the time.

“I didn’t know anything about horse racing,” Kumin says. “I’d been to a racetrack twice while I was in college.” Kumin attended Johns Hopkins where he was a star lacrosse player. Whenever his team was rated in the top four in the country heading into the NCAA tournament, Kumin and his teammates would spend their bye-week at the Preakness.

“That was really my first foray at the track,” he said.

“It was a little bit of a different experience than how we’ve been experiencing it in the last couple years.”

“HE’S A ONCE IN A LIFETIME HORSE...

BUT I DIDN’T THINK HE WAS GOING TO WIN.” — Sol Kumin

Kumin’s first breakout horse was Lady Eli, a filly named after his wife, Elizabeth. As a two-yearold, the thoroughbred won the Breeder’s Cup and then strung together six straight wins. She was being heralded as the greatest filly in the world when she stepped on a nail walking out of a drug test after her sixth victory.

The wound morphed into a life-threatening disease called laminitis.

“When you get laminitis, the chances of living are low,” Kumin says. “The chances of racing again are even lower. And the chances of racing at a high level are even lower than that.” Defying all odds, Lady Eli made a miraculous comeback a year later, winning a slew of races and reclaiming her champion status in the winner’s circle.

Today, Kumin is part owner of around hundred horses. In addition to his Nantucket-based Sheep Pond team, he also owns horses with former Patriots players Vince Wilfork and Wes Welker. His approach to horse racing is similar to that of his career as a hedge fund manager. “Our business has always been a talent business, finding young smart people and putting them in the right situations,” he says. “That’s what we do with horseracing. We’re trying to find young talented N magazine

“WE’RE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING DIFFERENTLY… AND THAT HAS YIELDED US MUCH HIGHER RESULTS THAN REALLY ANYONE HAS EVER SEEN.” — Sol Kumin

nstead of taking the traditional approach of buying unraced horses at public auctions that they will name,

They study

these horses, do due diligence, look at their racing patterns and gauge their potential ROI. He and his partners will then purchase a stake in the horse. Kumin doesn’t own any horses outright. “We’re trying to do everything differently,” he says. “And that has yielded us much higher results than really anyone has ever seen.”

BLUE WAVE INTERVIEW BY ROBERT COCUZZO

Longtime summer resident NANCY SODERBERG is running for Congress in Florida’s sixth congressional district Whether serving on the National Security Council at the White House under President Clinton, or as an Ambassador to the United Nations, or as senior foreign policy advisor to the late Ted Kennedy in the Senate, Nancy Soderberg has had a storied career in public service. Now after serving in a number of subsequent roles in the nonprofit and public sector, Soderberg is running for Congress in Florida’s sixth congressional district with hopes of helping flip the power to the Democrats.

N MAGAZINE: You have a tremendous amount of experience on the world stage, especially through your work as the ambassador to the UN under the Clinton administration. Where does US leadership stand on the world stage today?

SODERBERG: When the US leads, countries follow. Until the US plants a flag on where it’s going, people kind of wait and see. Then once we decide where we are going, some of these countries will oppose us, but largely the democracies around the world will follow us. I am concerned about the US not leading on a variety of issues. I don’t think a tariff war is going to help the American public. We need to be a leader on climate change, trying to stand up to Iran and Russia, trying to make sure China doesn’t take advantage of some of the void we are leaving in some of these Asian negotiations. We need strong leadership to stand up to that across the globe.

Without that, the American people will not have a strong shot at the prosperity and stability that we need.

FOR CHANGE INTERVIEW BY BRUCE A. PERCELAY

PHOTOGRAPHY BY KIT NOBLE

PETER TEDESCHI is running against Congressman Bill Keating in the 9th District of Massachusetts

P

eter Tedeschi and his family have been longtime summer residents of Nantucket.

Tedeschi’s name is best associated with a sprawling chain of convenience stores that

his grandfather founded after immigrating to the United States from Italy. This fall, Tedeschi is running as a Republican for the ninth congressional district. He’s seeking to unseat longtime Democratic congressman Bill Keating based on a platform of fiscal conservatism and social pragmatism. As a first-time candidate, Tedeschi views his lack of political experience as an asset, having worked in senior management at Putnam Investments and as CEO of the company that bears his name. Tedeschi walks a fine line between supporting some of President Trump’s policies, while also showing a willingness to disagree on others. Candid, concise and affable, Tedeschi demonstrated an understanding of the complexity of Nantucket’s various issues during an expansive interview with N Magazine.

N MAGAZINE: The opioid epidemic has plagued Nantucket in ways that a lot of people are not aware of. What would you do to help Nantucket in this regard?

TEDESCHI: The opioid epidemic has hit the Cape, Islands and South Coast particularly hard. There’s a few things we need to do. It starts with education and involving the medical community to ensure that they’re not overprescribing medications.

Then on top of that, it’s allowing law enforcement to do their job and stem the flow of these illicit drugs coming in, particularly ones like Alfentanil and fentanyl, which are killing people. I personally know folks who have overdosed. It’s tragic. It’s nondiscriminatory.

Charlie has a great saying: “Be tough on the issues, soft on the people.” That’s the way it’s supposed to be. What makes me a Republican is I’m fiscally very conservative. When it comes to social issues, I’m more moderate. I care about people. That’s one of the things that differentiates me. It is a fine

Tedeschi that will be more effective in terms of our representation than Bill Keating?

TEDESCHI: Congressman Keating has been serving in office since the late seventies. He is a lawyer by trade and a career politician. I am a pragmatic businessperson. I am a problem solver. We have to make difficult decisions, and I am willing to do that. We’re piling debt on future generations—it’s just not fair, and it’s not right. We need to be sensible about it. At a twenty-thousand-foot level, my view of the world is that we have a moral responsibility to help those who can’t help themselves. We have no moral responsibility to help those

line you have to walk. Too many elected officials in DC are the problem. On Capitol Hill, the 16 percent approval rating stems from the fact that we have too many officials doing the bidding of the party instead of the work of the people. I want to change that. I will work with members on either side of the House. I really don’t care what party you’re from. If you’re going to help me do the work of the people that I represent, I will work with you. We need to get away from this polarity and partisan bickering we have in DC today. I’ve got a his-

tory in that as a businessperson, working with competitors for the betterment of the entire industry. I’ll bring that collaborative spirit to DC.

N MAGAZINE: We talked earlier that you are running against an incumbent that has been in office for a long time. Does the fact that he’s been in office for a long time mean that it’s time for him to go, or is there something about Peter

who won’t help themselves. I think our government needs to start trying a little bit harder to figure out who is who.

Congressman Keating considers partisan politics as part of the problem, but he’s ranked as the most partisan member of our Massachusetts delegation. He ranks 364 in the partisan index on Capitol Hill. That’s not encouraging. We need folks who are willing to do the work of the people instead of the bidding of the party. That’s the type of change that I can bring. I am more than willing and happy to work with members of either party to get the work of the people done.

Congressman Keating is very visible when it’s leading up to the election and he needs people’s votes. That’s not how this is supposed to work. Being a representative means you’re supposed to be there when your people need you, and not just when you need their votes.

“Being a representative means you’re supposed to be there when your people need you, and not just when you need their votes.”
