Kenny Loggins Joins Boston Pops for Concert

by Jason Graziadei Twenty years ago a small group of volunteers came together to try to do something big for Nantucket Cottage Hospital.

Led by an ardent hospital supporter, the late Kathryn Clauss, they imagined what seemed impossible: what if we could get the world-famous Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra to come to Nantucket?

Along with a few tireless advocates on the Nantucket Cottage Hospital Board of Trustees, including Margaretta Andrews and Charles Balas, Clauss brought the hospital community together to raise funds and popular support for the idea. Somehow, they pulled it off.

Twenty years later, the annual Boston Pops on Nantucket at Jetties Beach is the largest and most beloved event of the summer on Nantucket that directly supports the operations of Nantucket Cottage Hospital.

Those first years in the late 1990s were marked by widespread community generosity and volunteerism, as hundreds of island residents came together to make the concert a reality. Everyone from kids to the hospital’s own physicians played a role in pulling it off. That tradition continues to this day, as a loyal corps of volunteers assist in making the Boston Pops on Nantucket a success every year.

Today, the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra and conductor Keith Lockhart consistently draw more than 7,000 people to Jetties Beach for the annual concert that is capped with a thrilling fireworks display after the Pops complete the 1812 Overture.

“This event brings the island community together like no other, and it fills continued on page 28

Art in the Garden The Artists Association of Nantucket (AAN) is pleased to invite the public to its second Sidewalk Art Show of the season, Saturday, August 13 from 10 am to 3 pm in the dappled summer sun of the Nantucket Atheneum garden on India Street. More than twenty AANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artist members will be available to discuss art and sell their works. The art show is free and open to the public.

Founded in 1930 by artist Maud Stumm, Nantucketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sidewalk Art Show is the oldest in the nation. Originally held for a few days in August, it was open to professionals and amateurs alike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 1960 AAN took the reins of the event and it is now one of our signature offerings and we are proud to be part of such a historic and popular island tradition,â&#x20AC;? said Cecil Barron Jensen, AAN executive director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It predates the Artists Association by fifteen years.â&#x20AC;?

In her book, From Clotheslines to Canopies: A History of Outdoor Art Fairs in America, Kathleen Eaton states that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the earliest art fairs of record in America that are still in operation began during the start of the Great Depression. The first, founded in 1930, was the Nantucket Sidewalk Art Showâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a small local event based on similar street fairs found in Europe.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Still going strong eightysix years later, it is a great way to meet some of the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular artists, who are pleased to discuss their art and explain their work process,â&#x20AC;? said Robert Frazier, curator of exhibitions.

Antiques Show in New Venue Friday According to Marty Shapiro, President of the Antiques Council, “We couldn’t let a much loved antique show that has been a tradition on the island for 36 years simply just disappear! The show was something that people looked forward to every year and came from both on and off the island to attend. It had a prestigious reputation that reached well beyond Nantucket to collectors and enthusiasts nationwide.”

When the NHA decided to give up sponsoring the show, The Antiques Council, who always managed the event wanted to see it return with a new life and in an exciting new venue. Kaye Gregg Director of Shows explained, “ We envisioned a show completely produced and presented by antiques dealers. The Boy’s and Girls Club of Nantucket was chosen as an excellent central venue that offered many conveniences and an opportunity to support an important on island institution.”

The Antiques Council, a not-forprofit organization, will continue the tradition of the previous show as a fundraiser by supporting on island organizations through a contribution to The Nantucket Preservation Trust through the Mary Helen and Michael Fabacher Scholarship and to the Community Foundations Nantucket Fund.

This year the show will have an outstanding roster of exhibitors offering a wide variety of antiques and fine art.

Specialties will include mid century fur-

It Isn’t “the There”

Sail Endeavor

by Robert P. Barsanti There are not many left. Certainly, not many left on an acre of oceanfront in Squam.

It isn’t much. It had been a shack for fishermen to spend the weekend, then it became something you could bring the wife and kids to, then it became a place for the grandchildren to visit until it finally became a gift of time.

It remains as it was left. A Pollywog swimming ribbon had fallen behind the refrigerator; a strip of yellow poked out from the side. A glass martini pitcher (with levels) remained on a top shelf, out of the range of little hands.

Jacqueline Suzanne, Erica Jong, and Tom Clancy swelled and warped on the shelves next to a stack of quahog shells, a cribbage board missing a peg, and a stack of Civil War themed jigsaw puzzles. Ten small and crude oil paintings dotted the walls of all of the rooms; each of them a different view from the house. Six fishing rods were lined up like pool cues against the far wall, strung with spider web.

It had not been a home; it had been the summer place. Poppy and Gram had lived there, with all of the weight a word like “live” can mean. Their sad mysteries were revealed to be commonplace and the commonplace became sad mysteries. Today, everyone knew why Poppy woke up coughing in the night and no one knew why there was a set of silver “fish knives” for twenty.

Each had a bedroom. They filled their medicine cabinets, liquor shelves, and check registers with secrets. Their marriage was a foreign country, marked by inscrutable customs and common practice.

It had not been a home because they only stayed in August. They had talked of winterizing the place almost as often as they had talked of selling it. They had uses for the money it would bring, but they never called the realtor. Even when the new people came from across the street with a ridiculous offer, an offer that was written on a yellow post-it that they stuck to a cabinet. It remained a punch-line for years, until the new couple, divorced, sold their house, and a more remarkable number appeared in the paper.

It was a cold night in Boston on December 16. Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and the rest of The Sons of Liberty crept aboard a British merchant vessel and threw its entire shipment of tea into the ocean. The year was 1773, and this protest of unfair and unjust taxes will forever be an iconic event in American History. It started a fire in the hearts and minds of young men and women who craved liberty and put a young nation on the road to freedom from a foreign government. More importantly, perhaps, it caused a decline in the popularity of tea and resulted in a shift to coffee as the preferred hot drink of the land.

Today, for people across the country, coffee has become a way of life. It seems possible to find a cup, hot or iced, black, regular, or decaf on virtually every street corner of every city and town in America. The challenge, unfortunately, is finding a good cup. Fortunately for us, on the Island of Nantucket, we have Nantucket Coffee Roasters.

I could see the charcoal-colored smoke curling from the chimney of the roastery; I knew I had arrived. The smell was rich and warm, reminiscent of burned brownies. Dark Side of the Moon was only slightly audible behind the hum and stir of those beautiful black beans being roasted and bagged.

It can be rare in life to stumble upon a career path that is meant for you, but sometimes fate really does take control. For Leo Keating, Master Roaster at Nantucket Coffee Roasters, coffee has always been a passion. Caffeine aside, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love it, it keeps me going. It makes me happy and it makes other people happy.â&#x20AC;?

For 10 long years, Leo worked as a pool guy on the island. It was hard, hot, and demanding work with long hours and lots of noxious chemicals and heavy lifting. At that time, he happened to be renting a room from Wes Van Cott, founder and owner of Nantucket Coffee Roasters. Leo was always a self-proclaimed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coffee Head.â&#x20AC;? It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until recently, in 2013, when he decided to make a change and try his hand at roasting. Wes gave him a chance, continued on page 9

Passion in a Cup from page 8

and immediately he saw talent. Leo shrugs, “he said I had a knack for it, so I kept going.” Leo is forever grateful to Wes for serving as his mentor. “He was the one who gave me room to grow.”

Moving forward, Leo attended classes at Coffee Lab International to hone his newly found skill. Coffee Lab International, or CLI, has actively supported all facets of the coffee industry since 1995 through research, education, quality control, and laboratory services. The rest is history. As Leo puts it, “from chlorine to coffee bean!”

Roasting coffee is something like making popcorn. Coffee beans, after being dried, cured, and processed, retain a small percentage of moisture.

When a roaster applies high heat, about 400 degrees worth, along with constant stirring, that remaining moisture expands and causes the hull to pop off the bean, or “crack.” This initial crack is indicative of a light roast. Depending on the desired flavor, the roast can be stopped, or continued on to the second or even third “crack.” This process, known as the Maillard Reaction, is what creates the complex flavor in each cup of Leo’s coffee. The heat causes the sugars and acids in the bean to react and interact, much like a golden crust on fresh bread or the sear on a delicious steak.

Nantucket Coffee Roasters have been supplying the island’s stores, restaurants, and homes with world-class coffee for over 22 years. They are Nantucket’s premier artisanal coffee roaster, specializing in bringing limited and small batch lots of coffee to drinkers on the island and beyond. As Master Roaster, Leo oversees the development of each roast by hand and eye without the use of automation. It is truly a marriage of art and science. Each and every batch is roasted to order and the finished product is never frozen, ensuring every cup is as fresh as possible.

This type of quality eventually means trouble for Leo. Since his coffee is in such high demand all over the island, he is constantly working to stay on top of his orders. When someone doesn’t order enough for their needs, they just have to wait for the roast. This can take hours because, of course, you can’t rush perfection. continued on page 26

Siasconset’s new Marconi Wireless Station received its first signal from the Nantucket lightship on August 12 in 1901. The two crews established a connection and then the ‘Sconset station asked the lightship crew: "How are you all? What's doing?” The lightship crew responded with the message, “Convalescent thanks. Foghorn going since last night."

The wireless had been installed by the New York Herald to speed up the process of reporting the shipping news. The Nantucket lightship, located 42 miles southeast of the island, and ‘Sconset, on Nantucket’s east end, were both perfectly situated to communicate with the more than 250 ships passing daily. On August 16 the ship Lucania sent the first official message to the lightship, which was radioed to ‘Sconset, who then telegraphed it to the Herald’s New York office, who were watching for the Cunard ocean liner.

The message was, "All well on board. We are 237 miles from Sandy Hook.

Expect to reach New York Harbor Saturday." The first passenger message was from Carroll Payne to Clark Howell at the Atlanta Constitution: "Homeward bound. Passage rough. Though far from home, message sent thanks to the Herald's enterprise."

The Herald predicted that its Nantucket wireless stations would shorten a ship’s Atlantic crossing and that westbound passengers could communicate with the American continent hours earlier.

The newspaper’s predictions came true, but more importantly, the Marconi’s system very quickly resulted in safer boating voyages and provided the foundation for the radio and television broadcasting industry of the future.

Two years prior Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla was negotiating with the office of the Light House Board to install his version of a wireless radio on the Nantucket lightship. But the conversation wasn’t going well.

In an 1899 letter, T. Perry, Commander U.S.N., wrote, “ from certain expressions used in it the Board fears there may be some misunderstanding, so in order to prevent you from going to any trouble to expense, the board desires to say that it has taken no action as yet providing any apparatus for using wireless telegraphy, as no appreciation is available for the purpose...”

Letters between Perry and Tesla continued into 1900, with each side parrying for position on the issue of cost. Tesla’s letters often made him sound irritable and contradictory. Perry eventually offered Tesla the contract, saying the government preferred to use an American company, a veiled reference to the Italian Guglielmo Marconi. In the end the New York Herald beat Tesla and installed a Marconi system on the Nantucket lightship and in ‘Sconset.

Historians view Tesla’s inability to gain a lightship contract as one of the major blunders of his career.

Tesla was a prodigy of Thomas Edison and his AC induction motor and transformer were licensed by George Westinghouse.

Another radio pioneer, Reginald A. Fessenden, travelled to ‘Sconset in 1901 on behalf of the U.S. Weather Bureau. Fessenden studied the new Marconi device and conducted experiments there so the government could establish of a wireless system on the Farallon Islands in the Pacific Ocean.

The project was a joint venture between the weather bureau and the newspapers San Francisco Call and New York Herald.

Fessenden, considered the father of radio, was an inventor and head of continued on page 16

PREVIEW: THURS. & FRI.â&#x20AC;&#x2C6;AUG. 11-12 FROM 10AM-5PM

Educator A series of articles dedicated to helping parents find places and activities on Nantucket to enjoy with their children.

The Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association has so much to offer our small community. MMA utilizes Nantucket as a natural laboratory by providing others with experiences and education about our environment: our home.

Maria Mitchell was an astronomer, a scientist, & an educator. The MMA was built to honor her many contributions to Nantucket while encouraging exploration and education, but most importantly, enjoyment.

I recently registered for the Feeding Frenzy at the little Maria Mitchell Aquarium on Washington Street. I highly recommend this excursion for all ages. Even my little guy was attentive as the various species of sea creatures circled about in their tanks. It is imperative that you register in advance because there are only about 15 available spaces due to the rather petite size of the aquarium. The excursion itself is 45 informative minutes long and only $12 for non-members like myself.

The aquarium consists of a touch-and-feel tank, two rooms with large tanks full of everything from fish, to crabs, to squid, to one beautiful lobster by the name of Clementine. In the back there is a sizeable viewing tank with lots of animals like dogfish sharks, horseshoe crabs, flounder, skate, and some other aggressive species of fish I avoided. All of the fish in the aquarium were actually caught on Nantucket â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even the tropical ones! Most of the sea creatures are brought to the aquarium by local fishermen and will be released at the end of the season.

Our guide was an enthusiastic marine biologist with a wealth of knowledge about each and every species throughout the aquarium. I learned a lot of new information during this activity, which makes it perfect for all ages.

Viewing pleasures for some and educational for others. The experience was continued on page 22

One of the reasons to see a play as opposed to a film is that unlike the mundane and overly tired themes repeated in every “rom-com” or action flick, you just never know what you are going to get. There’s no happy-ending guaranteed – in fact, there’s no guarantees at all. The humor tends to be wry; the sad stuff tends to be sadder. It’s just that much more real. And make no exception; this is certainly the case with The Velocity of Autumn, the hilarious yet heartfelt production running in the stunning new location of the White Heron Theatre Company on North Water Street, just behind the Whaling Museum until August 20th.

The play is set in a Brooklyn brownstone apartment, and the lights go up on the scene, showing an elderly woman asleep in her chair, and at the window behind her, a man is clinging to a tree, knocking on the glass to come in. It’s her son, and although she hasn’t seen him in many years she tells him to go away or she’ll blow the entire place up by lighting one of her many Molotov Cocktails, something she’s crafted from her late husband’s film developing fluid. Eventually her son does tumble in, and in an attempt to literally and figuratively “disarm” his mother’s situation, the two enjoy a banter that is both sentimental, hilarious and fiery, leaving the audience at times to question which one of these two is the captive, and which one the negotiator.

Presented without an intermission, this 90-minute drama by Eric Coble, directed on Nantucket by Skip Greer is an experience much like a fly on a wall, where the audience is allowed to watch and listen as Alexandra (played convincingly by Sandra Shipley), the aging mother in a standoff for her inde-

pendence, refuses to be moved by her family into a nursing home, and says if she has to, she will light her apartment on fire and go down in flames with it. Her son Chris, who had no choice but to climb the tree to enter her apartment because she had barricaded the door, attempts to diffuse the situation at hand, but because he hasn’t seen his mother in nearly twenty-years, the situation proves tricky to say the least.

Chris (played endearingly by Oliver Wadsworth) is equipped only with an arsenal of sentimental memories, the fun times they shared together as she raised him, like the time he and his mother raced up the spiral ramp of the Guggenheim Museum. Both painters, they bonded over their love of art and these memories, although happy, are abutted by Alexandra’s hilarious remarks on everything from potty-training her reluctant son, to the fact that he has been gone so long and must only be there for his own selfish reasons.

They fight, they laugh, they cry. They are like any of us, a mother and a son, real, with no emotional stone left unturned in their heated argument.

Do not miss this powerful production, for either its comedy or its sentimentality is sure to get you, and stay with you a long while, for who of us has not sat with an aging parent, or felt pushed into a life we were reluctant to lead? This play is a reminder that of all the things we have and of all the things we do, our relationships are what we take with us, and they are the things that are the most important of all.

They thought of winterizing it in October, when the frost was starting to form back home, but the weather forecast called for seventies and sun on the island. In the depths of winter, when the snow had hardened into dental cement, she pointed out the wind speed on Nantucket was a steady fifty knots out of the east. “Aren’t you glad you don’t have to look into the teeth of that?” she said.

He wasn’t so sure about that. Then they went to visit grandchildren and old friends and puttered about in their mainland home.

That home had been expanded and modified. That home had welcomed children and then suffered their effect. That home stood in the background of the back to school pictures and the Christmas card. That home had seen birthday parties, New Year’s parties, after prom parties, graduation parties, engagement parties, grandchildren birthday parties, and, finally, after funeral collations.

That home was the supporting actor in the home movies and photo albums. They lived in that home.

I would like to think that a home isn’t where your body lives but where your mind wanders. Everyone lives in many different places. I have lived in apartments, homes, and dorms. But in my mind, I wander off to the same spot off of the coast of Massachusetts and I hear the waves in the deep heart’s core.

I have stood on that rear deck on an August evening and watched the sky grow gold, then purple over a the slow and steady breath of the sea. In cool and clear air, the stars assembled in their places and began to wheel about; Orion would cast an arm and then a leg over the horizon. In the glittering dark, the Perseid shower

streaked through the Nantucket night. Then a moon rose out of the ocean and midnight is all a-glimmer. It would be a fine home to move back to after a bleak urban day of memoranda and millstones.

On one August evening, the two of them sat in their yellow director’s chairs and drank Tanqueray and Tonics.

Their caretaker (me) grilled striper on a forty year old, rusted Hibachi grill and steamed Moor’s End corn inside on the stove. They enjoyed my company as if I was a friendly, but stray dog. I could not understand their words entirely and I had little to add, but they enjoyed my company anyway.

When they left in September, I drained the pipes and fastened the shutters on the windows. In the gray hurl of a January afternoon, I would come by to insure that the ocean had not yet reached out and claimed it. Now, in the age of phones, I sent them pictures of the heaviest brown surf from their porch.

They were gone now. I did not wish them back with me. I don’t like to consider myself that selfish. Their children would be here soon enough and the house would again be full with sand, stains, and scuff marks.

But it wasn’t a home. A home, the poet said, is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in. As always with poets, it isn’t what he says, but what he doesn’t say. A home, in other words, isn’t the building or the location so much as it is the people. It isn’t the “there,” it’s the “they.”

Every marriage creates a new nation in a familiar country. The land we are well versed with with and the seasons are predictable, but we cannot know those inhabitants, no matter how similar and comfortable. To outsiders, the rules and customs may seem at best quaint and at worst, savage. You shake your head as you walk away from their snug home.

Photographing in the Deep Ben Phillips is returning to the Nantucket Historical Association for a lecture titled “Nantucket’s Offshore Wonders,” this Sunday, August 14 at 6 pm in the Whaling Museum, 13 Broad Street.

Phillips, a Nantucket native, is an underwater photographer, travel-diving specialist, and diving instructor. During the past six years, he has been diving and photographing underwater subjects in destinations throughout Southeast Asia. He is currently photographing around Nantucket and Cape Cod for large pelagic fish, which live in the zones of ocean or lake water that are neither close to the bottom nor near the shore. ”We are thrilled to welcome back Nantucket’s own Ben Phillips for the second year in a row,” says Brianne Roth, NHA Public Programs Coordinator.

“His photography and film bring us closer to marine life across the globe as well as off Nantucket’s shores and he opens up a world that few get to experience up close!”

Phillips honed his diving and photography skills in his mid-twenties when he travelled to Southeast Asia, gaining access to the “coral triangle,” a 3.7 million square mile patch of ocean that spans from Indonesia to the Philippines to Papua New Guinea, which has the highest concentration of marine life on the planet. Phillips’ specialty has been photographing microorganisms with high-powered macro lenses that would normally be invisible to the naked eye.

“It's an honor to be coming back and presenting again at the NHA,” says Phillips. “The Whaling Museum is an amazing venue, and I hope to make this an annual event.”

Admission is $10 and advanced tickets are highly recommended.

Tickets can be purchased at nha.org/tickets. Doors open at 5:30 pm; program begins at 6 pm.

First Wireless on Nantucket from page 10

the electrical engineering department of the Western University of Pennsylvania and worked under Thomas Edison at the time. Born in Quebec, Canada, he may have been the first to broadcast radio transmissions of voice and music. In his later career he received hundreds of patents for devices in fields such as high-powered transmitting, sonar, and television.

David Sarnoff, who created the broadcast industry for radio and television, apprenticed at the ‘Sconset Marconi wireless station around 1910.

Sarnoff, a Belarusian-American was born in 1891. He immigrated in 1900 and went to work for the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of Americ.

He rose from office boy to commercial manager, to president of RCA. While at the Marconi Company, Sarnoff saw that radio technology had the potential to broadcast to masses of people, not just from one point to another. But his supervisors did not embrace the idea.

In 1919 the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) purchased the Marconi Wireless Company and Sarnoff tried to convince his new bosses that radio could be used to entertain the masses. Again they rebuffed him. Finally, in 1921 Sarnoff arranged to broadcast a heavyweight boxing match between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier. More than 300,000 people listened and broadcast radio was born. Sarnoff’s stature rose quickly at RCA. In 1926 the company purchased a radio station and formed NBC. The Marconi system on the Nantucket lightship was short-lived. In 1904 the U.S. Navy replaced it with another type of wireless radio. By that time almost every ship equipped with a radio used a Marconi’s and ship captains scrambled to re-establish radio communication with the Nantucket lightship, which in three years had become a vital necessity.

Marconi continued to operate a wireless station in ‘Sconset until 1923 when the station’s owner, Radio Corporation of America, closed the historic station for good. In 1914 the US government took over the station for an alleged violation of neutrality laws. In 1920, A competitor called the International Wireless Telegraph Company built a large station just south of Sankaty Golf Club. This third, short-lived station had the latest equipment and could communicate with vessels as far away as 1,800 miles.

very hands-on allowing the children to participate in feeding certain fish.

The tour began at the touch and feel tank with a little guided discovery of the species within.

We dried off and entered the south room with all sorts of beautiful living things. The guide fed some rather aggressive crabs to kick off the feeding frenzy. Across the hall was aroom which contained tropical species & jellyfish. My favorite was a tiny solitary trunkfish that just so happen to have a tank to itself due to a toxic substance secreted from its skin. Soon after, our tour concluded at the captivating viewing tank. I am convinced the baby dogfish shark wanted to come home with me as it continued to fervently eject its head from the water, taunting me.

There continue to be new and ever changing species at the MMA Aquarium. I look forward to returning and discovering more.

Living on Nantucket, being surrounded by many of the species within the aquarium daily, made me realize that I, at times, take living here for granted. It was truly fascinating to watch, feed, and learn about the animals that inhabit our harbor and our oceans.

Keep ‘Em Laughing Comedian Kevin Flynn, nationally known and a favorite on Nantucket, is returning to an island stage for two Monday night performances. He’ll appear at the new White Heron Theatre Company in downtown Nantucket on Monday, August 15 and Monday, August 22, both at 7:30 p.m.

It’s that hectic time in Nantucket’s summer tourist season when visitors and year-rounders alike appreciate comic relief. After vacationing and performing on the island for more than 20 years, Flynn’s got the best comedy chops to dish out punchlines for hearty laughs from Nantucket audiences.

You might have already heard or seen Flynn’s “hilarious and heartwarming stand-up” in his many appearances on national comedy stages including New York City’s famed Gotham Comedy Club, on TV series including “Sex and the City,” in movies by his pals the Farrelly brothers among others, and at many public events. A former award-winning soccer player, Flynn has covered games for ESPN and today is host of ESPN Radio’s “Over the Ball,” a popular program combing reporting and commentary on soccer with comedy.

On Nantucket, he’s the founding Executive Director of Nantucket Comedy Festival, the ten-year-old gathering of nationally-known comics who visit the island in support of Stand Up & Learn, the festival’s educational experience program for kids.

Flynn, the founder of Monday Night Comedy on Nantucket, delivers colorful takes on everything from being a dad to bad public behavior, salted with sharp observations about relationships and the current presidential political campaign. Count on him to keep America and the island laughing.

Tickets for each performance is $30 and available online at whiteherontheatre.org or call 508-825-5268. White Heron, located at 5 North Water Street behind Nantucket Whaling Museum, opened in July as the first ever new building on Nantucket designed solely for the performing arts (previous spaces were converted). White Heron is an Actors Equity Association member theater, producing classical and contemporary plays with an emphasis on the development of new work through it’s Nantucket Theatre Institute and in association with the Long Wharf Theatre and the Sundance Theatre Institute.

Another of the daily challenges Leo faces is ensuring consistency. Since much of from page 9 what he roasts is from exclusive growers and micro-lots, the character of each bean can very from time to time. “I’m constantly tweaking every roast and every blend. Consistent coffee is key.”

For now, Leo is elated being the island’s only coffee roaster. “People keep telling me how great my coffee is, I think it’s going to my head!” Believe the

hype, though, because visitors love love Nantucket Coffee Roasters’ coffee as much as locals; so much that they regularly order at NantucketCoffee.com .

According to Leo, the most popular product by far is his ‘Sconset Blend.

It’s a medium-bodied, bright, nutty, and fruity cup with caramel, citrus, and floral highlights. Leo’s personal favorites are anything from Indonesia, especially varieties like Java and Sumatra. He likes a dark roast, but not burned, and his preferred method to brew is a French press.

He’s not positive where this road will take him next, but he sees himself some time in the future retiring off the island and opening a coffee roaster of his own. No matter where he ends up, there’s no doubt he’ll continue to share his love for the art of roasting. Let’s just hope we can still get our hands on his coffee!

While he’s here on Nantucket, you can savor a cup of coffee from his freshly roasted beans at The Bean, 4 India Street.

Commonly asked questions and misunderstandings about antiquesâ&#x20AC;Ś and the odd or end fascinating bit!

One of the most common questions we are asked, almost on a daily basis, is what are these intricate lattice-work devices? When I press them to guess, people most often say a device to hang laundry or dishes to dry. If only these delicate contraptions were that strong! Others guess umbrellas or lampshades. Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mm.

Called a swift, these devices were used to wind yarn into a skein. When wool was spun into yarn on a spinning wheel, the yarn was then wrapped around the swift to keep it from tangling: after the swift was collapsed to a smaller diameter the yarn could be lifted off and tied as a skein. In addition, a skein could be unwound onto a swift to facilitate winding the yarn into a ball. Finally, a ball of yarn could be partially unwound onto the swift and the remainder of the ball held in the cup situated atop the central shaft of the swift; as one knitted, the cage of the swift would slowly rotate to release yarn as needed.

So why did sailors spend countless hours making these intricate devices. They occupied their leisure time while dreaming about loved ones and home: near the top of the list of what they dearly missedâ&#x20AC;Ś Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m guessing a dry warm pair of wool socks!

Boston Pops: Best Summer Show from page 3

my heart to see so many of our friends, family, neighbors and visitors gather every year at Jetties Beach to support Nantucket Cottage Hospital,” said Dr. Margot Hartmann, President and CEO of Nantucket Cottage Hospital.

Every August the event nets nearly $2 million for the hospital, and all the funds generated by the concert stay on the island to help support its services and general operations. As the hospital’s largest annual fundraiser, the Boston Pops on Nantucket plays a critical role in sustaining a small, rural hospital that faces high fixed costs, low reimbursements, and significant seasonal swings in patient volume.

Over the years, the support of sponsors, donors and concertgoers at the Boston Pops on Nantucket has contributed to key improvements at Nantucket Cottage Hospital, including a renovated and expanded emergency department, a new radiology suite, rehabilitation services, employee housing, as well as equipment for outpatient surgery, cardiac monitoring and more.

From the very first concert, it was important to the hospital and the volunteer organizers that the Boston Pops on Nantucket remain accessible and affordable to the entire island community, something everyone can enjoy together. That’s why general admission tickets remain just $30 for adults and $10 for children.

“The Boston Pops on Nantucket is truly an expression of who we are as a hospital,” said Courtney O’Neill, the executive director of the Nantucket Cottage Hospital Foundation, which organizes the event. “Everyone is welcome for the concert, just as we take care of anyone who comes in the door.”

In addition to widespread community support, the Boston Pops on Nantucket has been blessed with a handful of generous sponsors who have returned to underwrite the event year after year, most notably Nantucket Island Resorts, Jill and Stephen Karp, as well as Fidelity Investments.

This year’s 20th anniversary concert is being spearheaded by event chairs Craig and Frances Lindner, seasonal residents of the island and friends of Nantucket Cottage Hospital. continued on page 29

“The Boston Pops on Nantucket is always a special night for the island community that brings everyone together for an important cause – our hospital,” said Craig Lindner. “Frances and I are honored to serve as chairs of the 20th anniversary edition of this great Nantucket summer tradition.”

Over the years, the Pops have welcomed a host of incredible special musical guests who make their own unique mark on each year’s concert, from Natalie Cole to Carly Simon and Bernadette Peters, to name a few.

The special musical guest for the 2016 edition of the Boston Pops on Nantucket will be multi-platinum artist and two-time Grammy award winner Kenny Loggins. Known for a remarkable four-decade-plus career, Loggins has had smash hits on Hollywood’s favorite soundtracks, played on stages worldwide, and added his voice to platinum albums of a stunning variety of genres. During the 1970s, Loggins was one half of the prolific recording and touring duo Loggins and Messina before he embarked on a solo career that included platinum albums and smash hits on the soundtracks of the classic 1980s movies Caddyshack, Footloose, and Top Gun. Newswoman Heather Unruh, the co-anchor of Boston’s highest rated newscast, Newscenter 5 at 6pm, will be the host this year. Unruh, a longtime Nantucket summer resident who was married on the island, is a four-time Emmy award winner who has anchored nearly every major news story for WCVB since 2001.

“I am so thrilled to help kick off the 20th anniversary of the Boston Pops on Nantucket concert,” said Unruh. “Listening to the beautiful music and watching the stunning fireworks with toes in the sand has been a special tradition in our family. This year in particular should be spectacular, and I am honored to serve as Master of Ceremonies.”

Also new in 2016 will be an additional jumbotron screen on the soundstage in the general admission section of the beach, as well as new opportunities for island residents to view the concert off-site. This year the concert will be live-streamed to Our Island Home, the town-run nursing facility, as well as Sherburne Commons and the Saltmarsh Center, allowing many older residents to enjoy the event from the comfort of their familiar surroundings without having to make the trek onto the beach.

While reserved seating for this year’s event has been sold-out for weeks, general admission tickets are still available at nantuckethospital.org/pops or by visiting the Founders Building at Nantucket Cottage Hospital.

Featured Restaurant: Fifty-Six Union

Perfect Spot for Summer Celebrations There are restaurants on Nantucket that have one very special table—a table in a private area, set apart from other diners. It can be in a hidden nook off the main dining room. It can be a chef’s table in bustling kitchen. It can be on a private patio or in a garden. This table is rarely advertised (guests hear about it from an insider), and it must be requested, sometimes well in advance. But if you can score a reservation at one of these, your dinner out becomes a special event.

We’ve dined at Fifty-Six Union many times over the years: stopping by on a dinner break for a quick bite at the bar, gathering with family round the big table in the front window, celebrating the holidays at parties in the back room. But until last week, we had never dined at Table 56.

Positioned in the lush, colorful, and meticulously cared for garden just beyond the sheltered patio dining area and outdoor bar at Fifty-Six, this special spot looks like a Bedouin tent in an oasis. It’s spacious, airy, and festively decorated. The large wooden table inside comfortably fits 8 to 10, possibly 12. Screening prevents small annoyances from crashing the party, but permits full clear view of the surrounding garden.

There’s no doubt about it: you really feel like you’re celebrating something special at Table 56.

As it turns out, we were! Congratulations to team member Sarah and her husband Brett on the early arrival of their first child just a few days after she joined us for the meal. Which dish was the trigger?

Chef Peter Jannelle, who owns and runs Fifty-Six Union with his wife and partner Wendy, changes his menu seasonally, but there are a few beloved items that are consistently offered. One is his Clams Casino. This is a very well done classic, with small, fresh and tender clams under just enough buttery herb crumbs to make them irresistible without masking the flavor of the shellfish. Each is topped with a generous piece of crisp, smoky bacon.

Back on the summer menu and receiving great acclaim is the chef’s version of a Crab Cake. The single thick cake is moist, and full of the sweet flavor of fresh crab (Jonah and lump) with accents of bell, poblano, and jalapeno pepper. It’s lightly rolled in panko before being cooked to a delectable golden brown and served in a pool of silky Sauce Americaine tasting of lobster, tomato, brandy, and dijon that demonstrates Chef Jannelle’s classic training

and impressive talent. (Suggested pairing: Louis Latour White Burgundy) August heat persisted into the evening nearly every day last week, making the cold appetizers particularly appealing. We adored the chilled Beet Salad for it’s great mix of flavors: toasty walnuts; tangy Great Hill Blue cheese, and clean, sweet beets in a light yet creamy dressing...little cubes of deliciousness. (Suggested pairing: J Pinot Gris) Melon & Prosciutto is another excellent choice for a hot summer night.

Beet Salad Supremely juicy cold watermelon, compressed with agave, lime juice, St. Germaine, and a touch of smoked salt, is cubed and stacked in a colorful and tasty composition with ribbons of thin prosciutto, crumbles of creamy goat cheese, strips of fresh basil, and drizzles of balsamic glaze. (Suggested pairing: Domaine Houchart Cotes Provence Rosé) One of our favorite Fifty-Six entrees is also served cold: Seared Rare Tuna. Glistening pink fish with just a narrow edge of sear and seasoning is dusted with white and black sesame seeds and fanned out over a cold salad of udon noodles, edamame, thin slices of snow peas and carrot. Thin spears of asparagus are laid across the top. Two dipping sauces are dotted around the plate: a smooth and creamy aioli with hints of pickled ginger and a nubby nuoc cham that has a perfect balance of sour, sweet, salty and spicy—nice job Chef! (Suggested pairing: Veuve Clicquot) Some like it hot, and if you’re one of them, you’ll love Chef Jannelle’s Javanese Spicy Fried Rice. It may already be one of your favorites: the dish is legendary on Nantucket. It even comes with a warning: “this dish is level 8 on a 1 to 10 scale of heat...cannot be modified at all. For spicy lovers only.” Intriguing, eh? This fiery dish is also full of flavor.

Shrimp, chicken, shiitake mushrooms, ginger, rice, carrot Javanese Spicy Fried Rice and other vegetables—all tinted

red from the Javanese hot chili sauce—somehow retain their individual flavors. Although the heat is searing, we found it short-lived and addictive. Eat this dish with the chopsticks provided and you’ll take smaller bites between this and sips of your choice of cold brew.

There are times that you think the only meal that will satisfy your hunger

is a great steak: on evenings like that, order the Grilled Veal Chop at FiftySix. It’s got the heft and flavor of a prime steak, but the tenderness and smooth texture that only comes with veal. The bone-in chop is served thick cut, both sides sporting beautiful grill marks with just the right amount of char moistened by a rich wild mushroom demiglaze. Tender-crisp green beans are served alongside, with a deliciously layered potato gratin scented with truffle. (Suggested pairing: Fifty-Six Union Pinot Noir by Jed Steele) Chef Jannelle includes a vegetarian selection on each of his menus and these are always more than just a nod to this preference. His Vegetarian Ravioli on the summer menu are huge pockets filled with a vibrant and h e a r t y Mediterranean mix of eggplant, squash, artichokes, pepper, onion, olive, sund r i e d tomato, and a trio of cheeses: feta, mozzarell, and asiago. The raviolis are served in a Vegetarian Ravioli light, fresh, and brightly flavored tomato-fennel sauce. This dish sent the vegetarian in our party over the moon, and the rest of us omnivores loved it, too! (Suggested pairing: Domaine Houchart Red Blend from Provence) It’s hard to top Chef Jannelle’s Berry Shortcake with fresh strawberries and blueberries spilling out from between two fluffy orange scented biscuits with plenty of whipped cream. But the Chipwich dessert might just do it. We

August 11 - 17, 2016

Page 31

could not decide which we like better: the two chocolate chip wanut cookies or the salted caramel chocolate truffle gelato sandwiched in between them.

This Chipwich is the best ice cream sandwich we’ve ever tasted!

If you’d prefer a lighter dessert, go for the Fifty-Six Float — vanilla ice cream floating in a shot of espresso. I want my morning coffee like this! Or try their signature Espresso Martini for dessert. One of the secrets to why these are so good is the espresso is made to order for each martini.

When you’re at Fifty-Six Union this week, seated at Table 56 or in one of their other indoor or outdoor dining rooms, raise a glass to Sarah, Brett, and little Michael Christopher.

Look for Pam’s signature, a small red bead that identifies the piece as hers. NANTUCKET PEARL COMPANY jewelry is available exclusively at Hill’s of Nantucket, 40 Straight Wharf.
