Private Gardens Open for a Day

by Abigail Terres When visitors round the bend of Brant Point Lighthouse, beginning their trip to Nantucket in August, there is no escaping the sweet smell of privet that is cast over the island. Daffodils, hydrangeas, privet, and more are natives to this island and in many opinions, truly stand for its beauty. There is an organization, like no other, on Nantucket whose goal is preserving, perfecting and promoting the knowledge of gardening, plants, flowers, and horticulture.

This Wednesday, August 5, from 11 am to 4:30 pm (rain or shine) the Nantucket Garden Club will hold its 61st annual House and Garden Tour entitled “A Day on Darling.” This year the tour will take place in houses located on Darling and Farmer streets, (known as the Fish Lots). Throughout the homes the Garden Club members will provide and set up exquisite flower arrangements to compliment each. Victor Hugo-Brunt author of An Historical Survey of the Physical Development of Nantucket, describes the Fish Lots as the common land that bordered the Great Harbor, also stating that they were named Fish Lots because their original use was a site for drying fish. Darling Street lies in the path of the Fish Lots, which is why the members chose this specific historical site for the tour.

For more than 60 years, starting in 1945, the Nantucket Garden Club has succeeded in contributing to the beauty of Nantucket by supporting conservation initiatives that protect the island's fragile and historic environment.

These historic sites, as we know them today were built hundreds of years ago, when Nantucket was first settled. Today, that allows the club to put on the House and Garden Tour on this island.

The Nantucket Garden Club is a member of the Garden Club of America.

In the summertime, this club beckons its members, throughout the U.S., who continued on page 33

The Moth Comes to Nantucket In the first of its kind collaboration on Nantucket, Nantucket Arts Council with Theatre Workshop of Nantucket and White Heron Theatre Company bring “The Moth Mainstage” storytelling back to the island on Tuesday, August 4, at Nantucket’s Unitarian Church, at 8 p.m. Doors open no later than 7:30.

The Moth returns to Nantucket with live performances by five storytellers, including prize-winning previous storytellers and well-known Nantucketers.

Each will tell a story around the theme of “Fish Out of Water.”

Actor D.W. Moffett, who’s a longtime seasonal resident of ‘Sconset, has appeared in dozens of stage plays, films and television series including “Friday Night Lights” and the current “Switched at Birth” on the ABC Family network. Captain Tom Mleczko, who’s among Nantucket’s best known fishing guides, will recount the tale of saving his son Jason from being lost at sea with his crew.

Award-winning actor and playwright Danusia Trevino, has performed her one-woman show “Wonder Bread” at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and on New York stages. The Harlem resident is a Moth Grand Slam Winner. Cybele Abbett is a grandmother, artist, and sailor who left her job to traverse the world’s oceans. Martha’s Vineyard resident and ER staff member Mary Lou Piland is an Italian-American with her version of a “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” story.

The Moth’s longtime national host Dan Kennedy, a writer and performer, emcees the performance. Nantucket musician and composer Mollie Glazer will perform incidental music.

Tickets are $60 for general admission, with a limited number of preferred seats including a post performance reception, “close to the flame,” for those offering extra support to the presenting Nantucket groups, at $150. Tickets are available through the websites of each of the Nantucket co-presenters: NantucketArtsCouncil.org, and TheatreWorkshop.com, and WhiteHeronTheatre.org. If seats remain available, those will be sold at the door by cash or check only. Last year’s Nantucket event sold out, with 100 fewer seats available. Proceeds benefit the local presenters.

The Moth on Nantucket is part of Nantucket Arts Council’s efforts with other Nantucket arts and cultural groups to initiate a Massachusetts Cultural District designation for downtown Nantucket, designed to enhance visitors’ experiences and boost local businesses through shared marketing and collaborations with the island’s arts and cultural groups.

The Moth is true stories, told live and without notes. Since it was founded in New York City in 1997 by novelist George Dawes Green, The Moth has exploded in live performances, on podcasts and on public radio. Jay Allison, of Atlantic Public Media on Cape Cod and known to Nantucket listeners as a host of Cape and Islands public radio WCAI-FM, produces the Peabody Award winning “The Moth Radio Hour,” now heard on more than 400 radio stations nationwide.

Leaving the Crowds Behind

by Robert P. Barsanti I think we forget how little land Nantucket actually has. If you nibble the sandy, pointy ends off, the island stretches barely fifteen miles across and four miles. Further, the island’s streets, sidewalks, and stores aren’t designed for the 60,000 people that move into their homes in July. On a Wednesday morning, in the middle of July, half of them were lined up on Old South Road, creeping their way into town. I crept right along after them, holding a bag of disappointment from the Bake Shop. The Honey Dipped donuts had run out the door thirty minutes before I arrived.

In the past, I could skip in and out of my favorite sugar emporiums if I watched the clock. If I got to the Downyflake before eight, I could get a seat and a dozen warm sugar donuts. If I got to the Juice Bar between six and seven in the evening, the line barely reached the door. If I got to Henry’s Jr. before 11:30, my lunch landed in my hand after I opened the door.

Not anymore. I have been forced to choose between sugary, fatty, starchy goodness and standing in line. The ice cream scooper from Middlebury shrugged at me. “What can I say? We are overloaded.”

We were overloaded at the beach. I have a favorite beach on the South Shore, a short distance from beer and seafood, that has also become overloaded. On that same Wednesday afternoon, the road was lined up, in parade formation, with Suburbans, Escalades, Land Rovers, Landcruisers, and one Mini convertible perched precariously on its frame. Down on the beach, families the size of hockey teams huddled in beach chairs. Out on the water, three surfers on long boards staggered and fell through a half dozen boogie boards on knee high waves. Everyone left the water with their teeth intact, but the guardian angels were on high alert. East and west, we lay on towels, sat on chairs, and watched the Angels do their dangerous work in the water.

We pushed right up to the edge of the little land Nantucket has, and looked over continued on page 24

Monster from the Deep

by Dr. Sarah D. Oktay Director, University of Massachusetts Nantucket Field Station (see yesterdaysisland.com for expanded article, website links, & notations)

This is NANTUCKET

Last week I went with some of my high school interns to do water sampling at the small bridge located in Madaket at the intersection of South Cambridge Street, Red Barn Road, and Massasoit Bridge Road that goes across the southern end of Long Pond before it turns into White Goose Cove. We saw a monster; or to be more precise a beautiful, monstrously large snapping turtle, easily the largest one I have seen on Nantucket and obviously one that has been fed for a while. As we were sampling water, a couple of very cute painted turtles poked their heads out of the floating organic debris that builds up under the bridge. A decent sized (probably 30-40 pound) snapping turtle swam by, and out of the corner of my eye I saw something very large swim under the bridge. I grabbed my GPS camera and took a couple of very lousy shots of an extremely large snapping turtle with a shell that was approximately two feet across and three feet long, weighing around 55-60 pounds with a white necklace-like marking around its neck.

I am sure this snapper is well-known to area residents, and it glided back and forth with its smaller friend keeping an eye out for snacks from above.

Male snapping turtles are larger than females, so my guess is this is an older well-fed male. Speaking of well-fed, many Nantucket visitors don’t think of the summer as complete without a trip down to First or Second Bridge off Madaket Road to catch a snapping turtle with a sturdy string and a chicken leg. Each year my interns and I do some water quality sampling in these areas to see what kind of conditions exist around these popular spots. Sometimes we will find bacterial colonies from the chicken used to lure out snappers and fecal coliforms (digestive tract bacteria) from the birds that hang out in the area. continued on page 21

A Conversation with Khrushchev The John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum and Nantucket’s Dreamland Film & Performing Arts Center will present “Remembering the Sixties” with acclaimed historian Dr. Sergei Khrushchev on August 5, 2015.

Sergei was a teenager when his father succeeded Josef Stalin to become first secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Dr. Khrushchev will offer his rare insights into the intense and historic relationship between his father Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and John F. Kennedy during his years as President.

Dr. Khrushchev will share details of the Cuban Missile Crisis when the world found itself on the brink of nuclear war. There will be a moderated discussion followed by an open question and answer period.

Dr. Khrushchev, a Senior Fellow at the Watson Institute of International Studies at Brown University, will also discuss the history of the Soviet missile and space programs, in which he played an active role during the Cold War. From there he will provide guests with a unique view into modern Russia as it has transitioned back most recently from a decentralized society into an emerging super power and what that means for security concerns around the globe.

Tickets to the lecture are $25 at nantucketdreamland.org. A limited number of tickets are being offered to a private reception of Dr. Khrushchev in the Harborview Room of The Dreamland before the lecture.

A Special Happy Hour for Women Boston IVF, the first Massachusetts egg freezing center to assist in a frozen egg pregnancy and birth, will host an educational “Happy Hour” at Grey Lady Restaurant & Bar, 2 Chins Way, on Thursday, August 6 for women who wish to learn more about their fertility and egg freezing.

Hosted by Dr. Michael Alper, MD and Alan Penzias, MD, both Boston IVF physicians, this casual and informative event will discuss the basics of female fertility and egg freezing, and offer women an opportunity to ask questions about the reproductive system, age and fertility, treatments, and more.

“Age is the most common factor in fertility. Egg Freezing drastically changes the landscape for career women who are feeling pressured as it evens the playing field because the technology today allows females more choice in family building options,” said Dr. Michael Alper.

Most women are not aware that they can prevent maturing eggs from affecting their fertility and ability to have a child. Eggs removed from the ovaries and frozen do not age. Age is the most important factor that affects a woman's fertility. A woman's fertility remains stable up to age 35-36 and then begins to decrease thereafter.

Held from 4:30-6:30 pm, event offers a free “happy hour” with drinks and hors d’oeuvres, and is open to women only. To RSVP, send an email to ecooper@bostonivf.com Boston IVF is one of America’s most experienced fertility centers with more than 75,000 babies born since 1986. A leading center for cutting-edge reproductive technologies and exceptional care, Boston IVF has pregnancy rates approaching 60% in certain patient population groups. Boston IVF has 13 locations in New England, including Nantucket Cottage Hospital.

Celebrate Maria Mitchell’s Birthday August 1 marks the 197th birthday of Maria Mitchell, who was born at 1 Vestal Street in 1818. To celebrate her life and legacy, the Maria Mitchell Association invites the public to an afternoon full of free activities and refreshments on Friday, July 31. The MMA campus on Vestal Street will be free to the public from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Children’s activities will be offered throughout the afternoon including: face painting, tours, nature and astronomy-themed games and activities, and even insect races!

Maria Mitchell was the first Mitchell child born at 1 Vestal St., the first librarian at the Nantucket Atheneum, the first woman to receive a gold medal from the King of Denmark for discovering a comet, one of the first women to work for the U.S. government, and the first woman to gain access to the Vatican’s Observatory. Of course, she was also the first female astronomer in the U.S.—best known for her discovery of a comet named Comet Mitchell and her service as the first female professor of Astronomy in the U.S. at Vassar College. The MMA was founded in 1902 to promote and celebrate Mitchell’s legacy of learning-by-doing, women in education, and education sciences.

Our next discussion: August 13th How to Sell Yourself without Selling Yourself Out

author of On This Day in Nantucket History, available at Mitchell’s Book Corner

On August 1, 1818, Maria Mitchell was born into the Nantucket Quaker family of William and Lydia Mitchell whose family lines went back to the island’s original white settlers in 1659 and to distant cousin Benjamin Franklin.

William Mitchell worked for many years as a teacher and ran a school before switching to commerce. An astronomer all his life, Mitchell instilled in all of his nine children the importance of education and learning, a lesson young Maria took to heart. Just after finishing her own schooling, she worked in a school run by Cyrus Peirce at age 16 and then opened her own school in 1835.

A year later she was offered, and accepted, the position of librarian at the Nantucket Atheneum. In her 20 years as librarian there Maria continued to study humanities, science, and math on her own using Atheneum materials.

Already prone to support social justice because of her Quaker upbringing, Maria’s world view would be further shaped by hearing speeches given at the library by Frederick Douglass, Lucretia Coffin Mott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Henry David Thoreau. For the rest of her life she would oppose slavery and call for equal rights for women. In 1842 she left the Quaker church and began following Unitarian views. She refused to wear cotton clothing because its manufacture depended on slavery. She called Elizabeth Cady Stanton a friend and co-founded the American Association for the Advancement of Women.

As a young girl Maria and her father studied the stars together using his telescope. At age 12 she helped her father calculate the timing of an eclipse

There are several ways to demonstrate your love for Nantucket even when you’re off-island: carry a lightship basket purse, have a row of beach stickers crowded along the bumper of your SUV, and wear Nantucket Reds.

Murray’s Toggery Shop at 62 Main Street is the home of Nantucket Reds. This fashion trend was started in the 1960s, when second generation store owner Philip C. Murray remade Brittany trousers from France. The durable pants that hold up well and fade to a classic pink with wear quickly became a mark of someone who lives on or summers on Nantucket.

The pants fade, but the popularity of Nantucket Reds only grew. The first generation to wear them now buys them for their grandkids, and Murray’s Toggery has a room full of Nantucket Red clothing in a wide variety of styles and sizes to choose from for all ages.

New this season are slim pants, jeans, and shorts (both 5-inch and 9-inch lengths) for women. There is a new button-down poplin shirt in Nantucket Red for women, fitted attractively with pretty gingham cuffs, and a very popular Nantucket Red clutch with navy piping and handy inside pockets.

Murrays even has an assortment of Nantucket Reds for kids: pants, overalls, jumpers, skirts, shorts, polos, caps, hats, and sweatshirts.

Nantucket Reds for men, women, and children are available exclusively in Murray’s Toggery Shop at the top of Main Street, Nantucket, and online at nantucketreds.com.

An Exploration of What Is To Come Artists Halsey Hathaway, Alexander T. Oleksyn, and Rebecca Ward explore “Future Perfect” in a new group exhibit in the Philip Bloom Gallery at 117 Orange Street, opening this week with a reception with the artists this Friday, July 31 from 6 to 8 pm.

“Future Perfect” explores the work of contemporary art free from ornamentation. The tools, shared by these artists, are color and form. Like the “future perfect” tense, this exhibition expresses what will have happened in the future. Join Philip Bloom Gallery for an exploration in to what is to come.

Halsey Hathaway’s large scale paintings explore the complexities of space through the intersections of analogous colors and precise forms. His paintings begin with an exhaustive drawing process; mapping out the stages of form and color to follow. Using a commercially dyed canvas as the understructure, Hathaway applies a muted palette of paint that augments the color of the underlying canvas. Each layer of paint applied is bound by precise edges. Within these borders, opaque layers of mono-color are interweaved, leaving behind sensuous forms.

Alexander T. Oleksyn paints in an intimate scale that allows for the precise examination of the linear form. Present in much of his work is a sinewy line that snakes it’s way through a maze of bold colors. The result of which is an abstract field of color that vibrates off the surface. It causes the eye to constantly shift focus, each time revealing an altogether distinct form.

Rebecca Ward is consistently blending art historical techniques with nontraditional materials to establish her own contemporary movement. Her work echoes the powerful art movements of Geometric Abstraction, Minimalism, and Arte Povera. In her current body of work, the sewing and separation of thread is adopted to create distinct forms and unfamiliar depth.

The Philip Bloom Gallery is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 10am to 6pm at 117 Orange Street.

the NHA is to tell the inspiring stories of Nantucket through its collections, programs, and properties,” says Janet Sherlund, President of the NHA Board of Trustees. “The Antiques & Design Show of Nantucket is the NHA's primary annual fundraiser and allows our organization to provide top-notch programs and offerings to Nantucketers and visitors all-year long.”

This year’s event will once again feature an entryway of Designer Tablescapes created by a range of Nantucket designers, businesses, and stores.

These arrangements will showcase a beautifully decorated place setting that highlights each designer’s unique style.

The all-star Designer Panel on Friday morning, July 31, from 9 to 10 am is moderated by Nantucket and New York-based designer Susan Zises Green, and brings together panelists for a topical discussion on the latest trends in design. In addition to being the NHA Designer Panel moderator, Susan Zises Green has been a leader in the field of interior design for decades, using traditional and contemporary resources to create beautiful and comfortable interiors. After participating in the NHA Designer Panel in 2011, Zises Green became moderator in 2012, and has played an integral role in the selection of the panel’s participants ever since.

This year’s Designer Panel consists of Atlanta-based interior designer Suzanne Kasler of Suzanne Kasler Interiors; Amanda Lindroth whose work is heavily influenced by islands and island life; Charlotte Moss, known for designing private residences and executive suites across the US and the Caribbean; Suzanne Tucker who is recognized as one of the country’s leading interior designers; and Matthew Patrick Smyth whose aesthetic illustrates a consistent focus on fine detailing and suitability, within a range of styles.

The 2015 Antiques & Design Show of Nantucket takes place in a comfortable, air-conditioned venue and offers a convenient cafe and refreshment area . It is managed by the Antiques Council, an organization dedicated to ensuring the quality of antiques and historical works of art.

The show is open to the public on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, July 31 – August 2, from 10 am to 5 pm, and Monday, August 3, from 10 am to 3 pm, at Bartlett’s Farm, 33 Bartlett Farm Road. General admission is $15 and tickets are available at the door.

After this memorable encounter (definitely a OMG moment) which was reinforced while encountering the various thoughtful “turtle crossing” signs around the island, I thought this week would be a perfect time to learn about these creatures. I found a delightful quote from DM Carroll’s book The Year of the Turtle: A Natural History to get us into the mood: “Snapping turtles, embodiment of turtles who shared the earth with the dinosaurs for a time and are now obliged to share it with the human species, might well report that the former companions were far less stressful.”

Nantucket is home to three turtles who all love to be near fresh water, the spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata), the painted turtle (Chrysemys picta), and the common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina).

The Nantucket Conservation Foundation has conducted several years of very interesting telemetry research on the spotted turtle which has been delisted from the Commonwealth's List of Endangered, Threatened and Special Concern Species. They are checking out the range and behavior of the snapping turtle's much cuter yellow polka-dotted cousin, but that does not mean that the snapping turtle is a boring creature at all. I know for students paddling around the freshwater pond at the Nantucket Field Station that the mere mention of the monstrous snappers keeps them in the rowboat and probably has contributed to more than a couple of nightmares.

Turtles, a generic name for the group of reptiles which includes tortoises and terrapins, are reptiles who typically have bodies shielded by a special bony shell developed from their ribs. All extant, or living, turtles are members of the order Testudines, which includes both living and extinct varieties of turtle. The etymology of the Order name Testudines and the Family Chelydridae are intertwined in a strange chicken versus the egg fashion. The term “chelys” is Greek (Latin version is “testudo”) for “turtle” and was originally known as a stringed musical instrument that had a convex back of tortoiseshell or of wood shaped like the shell. The word “chelys” was used to specifically refer to the oldest lyre of the Greeks, which was said to have been invented by Hermes. According to the Homeric Hymn to Hermes (475), he

was attracted by sounds of music while walking on the banks of the Nile, and found they were coming from the shell of a tortoise across which were stretched tendons which vibrated in the wind. The word “chelys” continued to be used for a variety of stringed instruments. The term Chelydra was formed by combining “chelys” with “hydros” for “water serpent” and “serpentina” is Latin for “snake-like” referring to the snake-like neck.

All turtles have a protective shell around their bodies. The top part of their case is called the carapace, the underside is the plastron, and the two are connected by the bridge. Even though they spend large amounts of their lives underwater, turtles are air-breathing reptiles, and must surface at regular intervals to refill their lungs with fresh air. They also spend part of their lives on dry land, although the snapping turtle enjoys staying in water more often than not.

Snapping turtles are noted for their powerful beak-like jaws and belligerent disposition. They have a muscular build with ridged shells that may measure from 35 cm long in Chelydra species to some 66 cm long in the alligator snapping turtle. The latter species is the largest freshwater turtle in the world, weighing up to 100 kg. The common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina serpentina) and its subspecies are much smaller, weighing up to 17 kg in weight with the all-time heaviest clocking in at 39 kg or 86 pounds. The alligator snapping turtle has a much spikier head and body while the common snapping turtle's body is smoother and less “dinosaur-ish.” In some areas, alligator snapping turtles are hunted for their meat, which is a popular ingredient in turtle soup. Both species can survive for close to 50 years in captivity, while the lifespan of wild individuals is estimated to be around 30 years. A 75 pound adult is a giant and the largest weight for one captured in the wild.

Thirty pounds is the average adult size but 40-60 pounders are not uncommon. The one I saw under the bridge is certainly in the 40-60 pound category and technically obese (basically the Marlon Brando of snappers).

Snapping turtles have long spiked tails and necks which can reach two thirds the length of their shells, making handling dangerous. They cannot continued on page 23

fully retract their head and appendages, relying on fierce displays when aggravated. Their snapping jaws and sharp claws are capable of inflicting serious injury: these turtles are best left alone. They are poorly suited to terrestrial locomotion, spending most of their time in ponds, shallow lakes, and streams; they rarely bask in the sun for warmth unlike other aquatic turtles. Rare forays onto land occur in June and July when females lay their spherical eggs. Some may inhabit brackish environments, such as estuaries.

For reference, the salinity of Long Pond which is connected to Madaket harbor was 11.9 parts per thousand (ppt) which is pretty brackish (harbor water is around 30-31 ppt), so salt water is no issue for snapping turtles.

All snapping turtles are scavengers, but they will also actively hunt fish, frogs and small mammals. Young turtles tend to forage actively, while adults tend to lie in ambush. Many individuals can be found within a small range: snapping turtle density is normally related to the amount of available food.

The diet of wild young snappers consists mainly of snails, worms, leeches, insects, larvae, small fish and water plants. Adult snappers eat larger prey such as frogs, fish, newts, tadpoles, toads, crayfish, and even snakes, small turtles, small mammals, and young waterfowl like ducklings and goslings.

We have seen several “peg-leg� seagulls at the field station, which shows you exactly how dangerous the snappers lurking underwater can be; sometimes a simple dip in fresh water is just not worth it for the birds!

This species mates from April through November, with their peak laying season in June and July. The female can hold sperm for several seasons, utilizing it as necessary, which you think would teach the males to be more elaborate in their courtship. There is some “dancing� involved because they tend to communicate to mates with leg movements while facing each other. Females, and presumably also males, in more northern populations mature later (at 15–20 years) and at a larger size than in more southern populations.

Females travel over land to find sandy soil in which to lay their eggs, often some distance from the water, up to a mile away has been recorded.

Hatchling snapping turtles usually emerge from the nest in the late summer and fall (August to October) and move directly to the water. Hatchlings may overwinter in the nest, although that doesn't always insure survival in a frigid winter. Hatchlings in northern populations that do not emerge in the fall before the onset of cold weather almost never survive the winter, probably because of their low tolerance of subfreezing body temperatures.

the edge at a Hedge Fund novice steer a long board through middle schoolers.

But for as little land as Nantucket has, it is surrounded by miles and miles of empty ocean. One way to see Coatue is a narrow strip of land, but another way is to see the wide spaces of the harbor and the even wider Sound. On another busy day of Nantucket traffic and Nantucket business, I sat out in a small group beyond First Point, watching the scup swim on the fishfinder. Sitting out on the water puts you miles from brake lights and bicycles.

We had parked at Monomoy, waded out to a twenty-year-old Boston Whaler then slowly navigated the mooring field. The boat, like many island boats, had passed from one fisherman to another, and would probably pass to another generation soon enough. The eel grass and sand eddied into the corners, the console had faded to a gentle but warped tan, and the seats had holes that made noises perfect for middle school boys.

Which was perfect for the middle schoolers who had come with us. They squirmed and jumped on the flatulent seats, then they fussed and fiddled with their fishing rods. On this night, they took another step into adulthood; they all baited their own hooks with squid. Just past First Point, we slowed and drifted until the school appeared on the fish finder. The anchor went over, followed by the squid. Then we waited.

The tide was slipping out. It swung us at anchor and tugged us back to town. In the mooring field, several sterns had wine drinkers sitting back and regarding town from a pleasant distance. Be-

yond the windmills and church towers, a deep blue fog bank built along the south shore. The sun warmed us still and the wind blew swirls of mist overhead, but we remained safe, silent, and alone.

Soon, the young men and their sister began reeling in skup after skup. They plucked the hooks out, deposited the fish into a green pickle bucket, then rebaited and recast. My host opened a box of low fat wheat thins and a package of cheese, which he cut with a rusty (or bloody?) knife from the bottom drawer of the console. We drank cheap beer, ate rust flecked cheese and crackers, and watched the pickle bucket fill with doomed fish.

Later, after the fog drove us back to shore, we would clean, bread, and fry the fish. Later, we would sit on a patio and eat the fruit of our children’s hands, wrapped in tortillas and surrounded by salsa, cheese, and lettuce. Later, in the wet evening, we would finish the beers and the fish, then watch the children chase the dog into exhaustion and listen to the Red Sox sink beneath the waves of the American League East.

But for right now, we enjoyed the best that Nantucket has. We sat at anchor in the pleasant chill of a July evening, alone on the water. The sun reddened as it slipped into the low clouds. Waves lapped and slapped the sides of the boat, along with the triumphs of the young fishermen. Right here, right now, we made the memories we needed to keep.

The overload remained on the South Shore and at the Rotary; we can’t put 60,000 people on an island fifteen miles long and not expect a lot of brake lights and bad thoughts. But, the beauty of Nantucket shines when you step away from the cars and the roads and you wander. The island is only as small as the crowds you follow. But if you leave the crowds to their ice cream cones and donuts, the island waits for you alone.

Eye on Style

by Sarah Morneau

Summer on Nantucket means fun in the sun and a day at the beach or the pool wouldn’t be complete without some awesome toys and floats! Many know Nantucket Pool & Spa Center for their construction, remodel, maintenance and repair of swimming pools and spas, but their Nantucket storefront also sells swimming pool and spa supplies and they carry a great selection of diving games, sandcastle kits, life vests, sand toys, rafts, tubes, beach bags, and exercise equipment.

Nantucket Pool & Spa is a family business, run by Steve & Caci Amaral.

Steve’s father, Sylvester, started the company on the mainland fifteen years ago and three of his sons (and their wives!) followed in his footsteps.

When Sylvester became ill and couldn’t travel to Nantucket anymore, Steve took over the responsibility of the island portion of the business. Sylvester always had a dream of opening a retail store on Nantucket, which he believed was a needed addition to the island and one that would thrive. In 2012 when Steve and Caci purchased the Nantucket side of the company from the family the dream was realized. They opened Nantucket Pool & Spa Center, the company’s first storefront, at 1 Hanabea Lane. Relocating to Nantucket full-time and having the store means that Steve and Caci are more accessible to their clients. They are Nantucket’s only full-service, onestop pool and spa provider. They do new construction, service, maintenance, remodeling, hot tub sales & service and retail.

Now that I’ve discovered their amazing selection of beach and pool toys I’ll be back to pick up some new goggles for my laps at the pool and some fun beach toys for my niece and nephews when they come to visit. Nantucket Pool & Spa Center is open Tuesday-Saturday from 9am-5pm and Thursdays until 6pm at 1 Hanabea Lane, across from the Thai House.

Nantucket, common nesting locations for snapping turtles often coincide with bike paths, driveways, and roads, which give the new hatchlings a boatload of obstacles to overcome when they hatch and make their way to the water.

Sad to say, I have found more than a fair share of tiny pancaked and desiccated hatchlings. Now, when possible, we mark the nest site and keep an eagle eye out for the hatchling's emergence. Of course, many predators are doing the same thing, and hawks and snakes are the main predators who would most enjoy a crunchy snack. Once snapping turtles become larger, there are few animals that prey on them. Snapping turtles may be active at any time of day or night, but nocturnal activity is rare in northern populations.

These turtles hibernate at temperate latitudes, but presumably are active year-round at more tropical sites.

Unless they are in the middle of the road it is best to leave turtles alone, although I have had some success herding them in the direction they are going. From the Massachusetts Fish and Game website: “An alternative method is to pick them up by grabbing the tail and then sliding one hand underneath the turtle to support the body. Lift it like a platter, steering with the tail. A snapping turtle can reach your hands if you lift it by the sides of its shell, but they cannot reach your hand directly under the shell. Do not lift them only by the tail; that can injure their spine. Once captured take them to the nearest body of water (e.g. vernal pool, pond, stream, etc.).” For some reason, a very large (1 foot in diameter and at least 30 pounds) snapping turtle showed up in my family's backyard in Northeastern Oklahoma one summer.

I learned quickly that a shovel was a great way to move a turtle that big although a large stick works too. You can wave the stick in front of the jaws, they will snap at it and grab it, then hold on for dear life while you drag them to a safer spot (well, safer for you).

I hope you get a chance to go admire these prehistoric beasts down in Madaket or at the Field Station and at various wetlands and ponds on the island. If you see them crossing the road and can safely stop and help, that would be wonderful, although don’t encourage them to change direction and keep your fingers and toes out of reach.

and by age 14 local sailors asked her to perform their navigational computations in preparation for whaling voyages. In 1847 William Mitchell was cashier at Pacific National Bank on Main Street and his family lived on the top floor of the bank. Maria and William often spent evenings on the roof sweeping” the sky with their telescope and looking at the stars.

On October 1 of that year Maria was stargazing alone on the roof when she spotted an uncharted fuzzy object that she had never seen before.

She ran to get her father who confirmed that she had discovered a comet. Known informally as “Miss Mitchell’s Comet” (and formally as C/1847 T1), the discovery made Maria Mitchell an international star.

Prior to her discovery, the King of Denmark had announced the prize of a gold medal to anyone who discovered a “telescopic” continued on page 32

comet, or a comet that could not be seen with the naked eye. True to his word, the king awarded Maria a gold medal, which ended her quiet island life and launched her into the public eye. From then on her life was one of firsts.

Maria Mitchell was the first woman elected into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, into the American Association For The Advancement of Science, the American Philosophical Society as well as the first woman to be female federal employee when she later worked for the US Nautical Almanac Office.

In 1865, administrators at Vassar College, which had just been established, made Maria Mitchell its first hire as a professor and director of Vassar College Observatory. After teaching at Vassar for a while Maria became aware that she was paid less than her male counterparts. She demanded, and received, equal pay.

But for Maria, teaching was the role that most suited her. She loved educating young women on the same par as men and was an inspiration to her students. She taught at Vassar until 1888, one year before she died.

Maria never married and remained close to her siblings. She lived her last year with her sister Kate in Lynn, Massachusetts, died June 28, 1889 at age 70 and is buried on Nantucket next to her parents.

After her death she was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame.

In 1902 Maria’s friends, family, and former students formed the Maria Mitchell Association in her honor. The Association purchased Maria’s childhood home on Vestal Street and turned it into a museum. Six years later the association built an observatory there. As the association grew, it employed Maria’s credo of “learning by doing.” Today the Maria Mitchell Association owns and operates several buildings on Vestal Street and an Aquarium on Washington Street, as well as an observatory on Milk Street which it opens for public viewings of the island’s night skies. For more details about the Maria Mitchell Association and its educational programs, visit mmo.org.

spend much of their vacation time in service to the Nantucket community.

The NGC sponsors three long-term civic projects on Nantucket that are a major part of the community calendar on the island. One of those projects is the Nantucket Garden Club House Tour.

The Nantucket Garden Club House Tour is the one and only annual event that is a fundraiser of the Nantucket Garden Club. This event gives money right back to the community in scholarships and grants. Josette Blackmore, who co-chairs the 2015 Nantucket Garden Club House Tour with Lois Druckenmiller, explains that “we give scholarships to graduating seniors from Nantucket High School who are persuing careers in agriculture, in addition to giving grants to organizations such as Maria Mitchell Association, the Nantucket Historical Association, Nantucket Preservation Trust and more.�

Blackmore, who describes herself as an “amateur gardener� who has always appreciated gardens, says some of the most beautiful gardens she has ever seen are right here on Nantucket. She became involved the Nantucket Garden Club about six or seven years ago, as her friends told her about the House & Garden Tour. “There is a really great group of people and volunteers working at the Club and I am very pleased to be able to do it [co-chair].�

Blackmore adds that in the past few years hundred of people have attended this popular event, a somewhat equal mix between island residents and off-islanders. The annual House and Garden Tour is an opportunity to glimpse many historic and new homes and gardens here. Each year a different neighborhood is selected. from 'Sconset to Monomoy to Brant Point.

It is the duty of members of the club to select which houses will be shown on the tour. The members may recommend houses of which they will choose the right one based on a “something special,� that can be spectacular view or a historical aspect.

Tickets to the Annual House and Garden Tour are available August 1-4 from a table on Main Street, at G.S. Hill Gallery on Straight Wharf, at the Sconset Rotary, and at Bartlett’s Farm. On Wednesday, tickets will also be available at homes the day of the tour. Tickets for this event are $60 per person with revenues supporting the local community and conservation projects.

ganization with interesting origins.

When a father, a surfing enthusiast, took his autistic son out on the front of his board, he discovered that his son was profoundly affected by the ocean and surfing. The foundation was created by the boy’s parents to allow this unique therapy to be experienced by other autistic children.

For this event Samuel Owen Gallery is partnering with Shuck It for Nantucket, a Natural Resources Department program. Shuck It for Nantucket collects shells from 25 restaurants and 3 raw bars to be recycled and used to build an oyster reef in Nantucket waters that will serve as an educational platform, while restoring a native species. A voluntary $10 donation to Shuck It for Nantucket is requested.

An exciting new arrival in Nantucket this summer, Samuel Owen Gallery specializes in contemporary art, both original works and multiples. On Nantucket, as well as in their gallery in the heart of Greenwich, CT, Samuel Owen Gallery maintains an extensive inventory of work by Damien Hirst, Shepard Fairey, Mr. Brainwash, CANTSTOPGOODBOY, Dale May, Eric Zener, Peter Tunney, to name just a few.

Featured Restaurant: nabe

A Fresh, New Dining Experience

Mac & Cheese Skillets

Just about two weeks ago, the doors opened to a fresh, new dining experience downtown on Nantucket Harbor called nabe.

Slang for neighborhood in English and in Japanese the name of a communal cooking dish used in a popular preparation, nabe is the perfect name for this establishment that manages to combine the ambiance of an upscale seaside café with the casual feel of a neighborhood eatery.

In its newly revised space on the corner of Easy Street and Steamboat Wharf, nabe is hip and bustling. It’s bright and inviting, with a youthful and energetic staff, and it’s no surprise that nabe is attracting enthusiastic following of all ages.

Cocktails here are potent and creative. Prepared with fresh juices and eschewing most standard “mixes,” the bar at nabe is a must for anyone seeking the perfect cocktail. The Kick ACK Lemonades are perfect for summer sipping (we especially like the mango) and the Cajun spiced NOLA Bloody Mary will kick start your evening. The modest wine list is well-matched to

nabe Ocean & Crunch Sushi Rolls

the menu—we expect to see it expand as the season progresses.

Their Sangria (red and white) is fast becoming an island favorite.

We love the large wrap-around bar inside, but it’s the new outdoor corner patio with comfortable seating set apart from the street by tall flower boxes that holds the most appeal.

From here you can Rainbow Chopped Salad watch the evening sky change colors and the stars appear as you sip your cocktails and share a sushi plate or specialty fries (hand-cut Idaho Potato Fries or Aged Cheddar Fries or White Truffle Fries or gluten-free Sweet Potato Fries). nabe opens early for lunch, which is lucky for anyone taking the ferry Off. Imagine getting on the boat with a Baby Kale Salad with peppers and carrots in a ginger, lime, and peanut dressing or with Pork Belly Sliders, a Black Angus Burger or Bison Burger, or freshly made Fish & Chips. No need to resort to ferry food with these delectable choices so close!

The focus of the dinner menu at nabe is the Golden Beet Salad island’s fresh harvest from sea and from land accented by select artisan ingredients: fresh produce for beautifully composed salads, fresh fish for cooked entrees and sushi, freshly made custom pasta flown in from the North End of Boston for their skillet mac & cheese.

Chef Jonathan White is no stranger to seafood, and he has an intimate knowledge and talent with what he serves, focusing on taste, contrasts, and textures.

Our meal last week began with Mac & Cheese Balls, a treat from owner Reubin Simantov, who’s creativity is evident in every aspect of nabe. We had planned on focusing on the appealing selection of fish for our meal, but just one crunchy, creamy, cheesey bite of this fun snack served in a tiny skillet on housemade marinara convinced us we needed more! nabe’s Mac & Cheese Skillets are offered in six very different savory, rich, and creamy variations. We chose Shrimp and Asparagus Mac &

Local Food is Good for You! Our Sweet Corn is grown right on our farm on Bartlett Farm Road.

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

Vol. 45 No. 13 • Our 45th Season!

Cheese and Brussel Sprouts and Bacon Mac & Cheese—other choices included Five Cheese, Forest Mushroom, Garden Veggie, and Lobster.

Chef White uses fresh pasta daily flown in from The North End for these and prepares them with artisan cheeses matched to the variation. The Shrimp and Asparagus version is prepared with herb & garlic pasta and rich, buttery Alpha Five Spice Free Range Chicken Tolman cheese with a slight bite that is superb with the plump shrimp and thin, crisp snapped spears of asparagus. The Sprouts and Bacon Mac & Cheese Skillet is made with dill pasta and a sweet, mild Raclette cheese from Vermont. The bacon adds a bit of smokiness, and the chunks of brussel sprouts are mild and tender with just a hint of crunch. The skillets are served sizzling hot, topped with a layer of herbed panko for a delicious golden brown crunch, and sized for hearty appetites, so consider sharing (unless you want lunch for tomorrow, which is what we did). nabe is an ideal spot for gatherings of friends and family, and with the new addition of a gorgeous communal table, everyone can all sit together to share the beautiful platters of sushi that come out of the kitchen in a steady flow. There’s been a new option for sushi every year for the past four, and we’ve sampled them all. The sushi chefs at nabe know what they’re doing.

The rolls we tried—nabe Ocean and Crunch—were sparkling fresh and had just the right balance of flavors, textures, and colors. Each plate is brought to table with a lovely arrangement of tasty embellishments, the rolls carefully arranged just so. We think every guest in the dining room who ordered sushi took a photo before they started eating.

The “bistro” side of nabe’s menu offers salad and entrees that are also thoughtfully designed and beautifully presented by this artist of a chef.

Summery salads are in abundance here, and we adored the two we tried.

The Rainbow Chopped Salad is as pretty as it is delicious. Fresh, crisp strips of bright green romaine are tossed with crunchy strips of red cabbage in just enough red wine vinaigrette to flavor the leaves without leaving puddles.

Dried cranberries add a soft sweetness, and slices of Asian pear and Fuji apple are juicy, crisp, and freshing.

Chef White’s Golden Beet Salad is one of the tastiest we’ve had this season. Sweet beets cooked to tender perfection are sliced and arranged in a circle overtop a mesclun mix tossed in an ethereal basil vinaigrette. Between each slice of beet is half of a grilled fig, and tossed over the salad are whole chick peas and crumbles of goat cheese. The result is tart, sweet, salty, mellow, creamy, firm, and crisp—and deeply flavorful!

Heads turned as staff brought plates of the New England Raised Beef Tenderloin through the dining room, but we decided to try the Five Spice Free Range Chicken for it’s intriguing preparation. The moist statler breast is pan-seared and finished in the oven, and presented on large pearls of couscous with small juicy chunks of Asian pear and Fuji apple. It was the aromatic broth of soy, chili, and lime that brough this dish to the next level

As good as Chef White is with meats, we predict that his fish dishes are what will put nabe on the map.

PanSeared Day Boat Scallops are fresh, sweet, and delectable, and we loved the contrast in color, texture, and flavor beBraised Black Cod tween them and the forbidden rice, halved Brussel sprouts, strips of red pepper, and delicate asparagus that accompanied.

The Grilled Halibut and the Braised Black Cod were our table favorites. The Halibut and the Cod were both cooked through, but lightly, so the edges had a bit of browning and the centers were flakey, moist, and translucent. The Halibut is served over a parmesan-saffron risotto and topped with a refreshing salsa of mango and ginger (see cover photo), making it an sublime and summery dish. The Cod is nestled into an earthy wild mushroom and black truffle risotto and topped with a corn, tomato, and ginger chutney drizzled with coconut milk and lemongrass that makes the mildness of the fish stand out while adding a superb complexity.

This new Pan-Seared Day Boat Scallops eatery and nightspot is the vision of well-known jewelry designer Reubin Simantov, who fell in love with Nantucket the moment he arrived years ago. He describes nabe, his newest venture: “I found a diamond in the rough, and with expert staff, I’m shaping it into a beautiful gem for the island restaurant scene... we can’t wait to welcome you all!”

On August 11, 1841, Frederick Douglass made his first antislavery speech at the Nantucket Atheneum. The Great Fire of July 13, 1846, devastated the island, forcing residents to rebuild what they lost. On December 5, 1981, a nor’easter stranded nearly two thousand visitors and forced seventeen pilot whales to come ashore. Read a story a day or month at a time.
