POPS CULTURE Nothing says summer in August like the Nantucket Cottage Hospital’s Boston Pops Concert. Six thousand people gather under the stars to enjoy the music and demonstrate their support for one of the island’s most vital institutions, which is in the process of launching a $75,000,000 campaign to build a new hospital for Nantucket’s next generation. In celebration of the Boston Pops Concert, our cover features this year’s host Katie Couric.

Editor & Publisher

Moving from land to sea, this August issue of N Magazine also features Swim Across America, an event designed to raise money to support cancer patients on the island one swim stroke at a time. Like the Pops, Swim Across America is a wonderful expression of community support for those in need.

On another medical front, N Magazine features an interview with Dr. Vanessa Bradford Kerry, daughter of Secretary of State John Kerry, who has forged her own path in creating a global medical training program in partnership with the Peace Corps and Massachusetts General Hospital that could ultimately have an enormous impact on global health. Dr. Kerry’s focus and determination comes through clearly in her interview during which she details how her program could create medical self-sufficiency in less developed parts of the world and, at the same time, have positive diplomatic implications for the United States.

As co-sponsor of September’s Nantucket Project, N Magazine provides a preview to this year’s conference featuring an impressive array of visionaries and thinkers whose insights make it one of the most fascinating events of the year. In a departure from last year’s Nantucket Project, there will also be a separate Finance Forum, which has the potential to become a nationally recognized focal point for the exchange of information and could be a must attend for anyone curious about our economic future.

Enjoy our new menu featuring BPG Signature Items: Steaks, Chops, Lobster, Clambake for two and much more.

On the subject of creative thought, N Magazine covers the colorful existence of local and now nationally recognized author Charles Graeber, whose New York Times bestseller The Good Nurse has made him a hot commodity.

Among the many stories that have made him a successful writer, Graeber’s own story might just be the most incredible.

The long awaited warm weather has finally arrived, and, in combination with all the events going on around the island, August is the peak of the season. We hope you all enjoy the Pops and savor the high point of the summer.

“FROM CUSTOM COUCHES TO CUSTOM CABINETS, MARINE LITERALLY DESIGNED OUR HOME.”

When we decided to redecorate the interior of our Nantucket house, Marine Home Center was our first stop. From top of the line Woodmode® kitchen cabinets, to made-to-order upholstered Highland House® couches and chairs, we discovered we needed to go no further than Marine’s Showrooms. Their “customer first” attitude made our experience efficient and enjoyable and we were delighted with the end result.

GUESTCONTRIBUTORS TIM KELLEY Meteorologist Tim Kelley is a native Cape Codder, but he traces his roots back to Nantucket. Kelley’s maternal great-greatgrandparents were the Allens and the Starbucks of Nantucket Island. He is one of the few original news anchors still on the air at NECN TV, now in its 22nd year. Kelley’s daily weather journal includes details of every storm that has hit the island since 1992. For this August issue, Kelley offers his insight on the intense thunder and lightning storms that hit Nantucket in the NVESTIGATE piece, “Awe Struck” (page 62).

ROBERT KRIVICICH Boston-based photographer Robert Krivicich began his career as a designer and has gradually moved into photography over the last four years. Accordingly, Krivicich captures his images with a strong emphasis on composition, imagining how the photo could exist on the page as he lines up each shot. For this August issue, Krivicich photographed bestselling author and award-winning journalist Charlie Graeber in “Natural Born Storyteller” (page 90). “While I was taking pictures of Charlie in his study, I was able to listen to some of the stories he told, and all I could think of was what a full life he has had with his travels,” Krivicich says. “He reminded me of something my friend would say: ‘Leap and the net will appear.’”

DR. GREG HINSON Greg Hinson is a family physician, software design consultant, and award-winning landscape photographer. As a photographer, his work can be seen at the Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery in Nantucket and at NantucketStock.com. His goal is to “capture the variety of light and colors that are unique to the island to enhance the familiar scenery.”

For this August issue, Hinson shares photographs he has captured as an amateur storm chaser for “Awe Struck” (page 62). When asked if he uses any special equipment to catch a lightning strike, he said, “a Jeep, a weather radar app, and multiple N magazine

memory cards to store all of the misses that go with one

NBUZZ A LICENSE

TO GIVE A new way of showing your Nantucket pride is hitting the streets this summer. Introducing the Nantucket License Plate. Now along with your collection of beach stickers, the official Nantucket plate will have your bumper looking truly ACKcessorized. Even better, proceeds from the plate will go to the Nantucket Lighthouse School as well as a number of other local nonprofits. The future sales of these plates could prove to be a great source of financial support for many Nantucket nonprofits, as has been seen off island with the Cape and the Islands plate. But before the plates can be produced, MassDOT requires that three thousand plate applications be submitted and paid for in advance. You do not need to be a Massachusetts resident to purchase the plate, just as long as your car is registered in the state. So get in line to buy your plate before it gets bumper to bumper.

CONFERENCE SCHOLARSHIPS

The Nantucket Project provides conference scholarships to qualified candidates, who will then participate in all aspects of the conference and are invited to share their experiences afterward. The Fellows Program is an important part of The Nantucket Project and has been spearheaded by TNP Founding Circle members Senator Bill Frist, Jill Karp, and Jennifer Diamond, along with Leslie Bresette. The intent of the program is to serve Nantucket, in part, by helping develop the island’s next generation of leaders. Past local recipients have included John Buckey, Melissa Murphy, Paula Korn, Randy Hudson, Janet Schulte, John Merson, Jamie Howarth, Gage Dobbins and Brent Tartamella. “Our TNP Fellows Program helps grow leaders on and off Nantucket,” says Senator Bill Frist. “It’s another way we’re having an impact.” Applications for this year’s scholarships are due August 15th.

THE

LINEUP

Every year, The Nantucket Project attracts a veritable who’s who of contemporary thinkers and leaders. The 2013 Project will be no different. “This year’s TNP lineup is filled with people who aspired to achieve big dreams, and achieved even bigger ones, inspiring many others to follow them,” says TNP Founding Circle member Wendy Schmidt. Speakers this September include Mikhail Gorbachev, David Rubenstein, Eve Ensler, Tom Glocer, Tim Armstrong, Tim Draper, Chris Matthews, Steve Case, Meredith Whitney, Andrew Ross Sorkin, Barry Sternlicht, Krista Tippet, Bob Diamond, Tim Ferris, Eddie Lampert, Greg LeMond and many others.

Here’s a closer look at some of this year’s headliners.

MICHAELPOLLAN

For the past twenty years, Michael Pollan has been writing highly acclaimed books and articles about the places where the human and natural worlds intersect: food, agriculture, gardens, drugs and architecture. He is the author of the bestsellers In Defense of Food:

“The Nantucket Cottage Hospital is grateful for all of the supporters who have attended all of the seventeen years,” says Dr. Margot Hartmann. “This is a remarkably generous island witnessed by the success of the Pops, and our most critical task is in front of us as we embark upon the biggest fundraising effort in the history of Nantucket to build the new hospital.” Building the new hospital will be vastly more complex than setting up for the Pops, nevertheless it will take the whole island to orchestrate.

Before the dawn spills out over Nantucket, master painter Sergio Roffo has already assembled his

easel, mounted his canvas and prepared his paints. He watches as the soft morning light ignites blades of sea grass and turns the sand into gold. His first strokes come from a pencil, a quick graphite sketch to establish composition and to lay in dynamic shadows that will soon disappear

in the rising sun. And with that, the race is on to finish the painting. “Every three or four hours the sun shifts and it’s a whole new painting,” Roffo says. “That’s why I try to really work fast before the light shifts.”

Sergio Roffo is a plein air purist,

beginning and finishing every one of his landscape paintings entirely in the field.

While it takes him about four hours from start to finish, when you ask Roffo how long a specific work took to paint, he will say “thirty years.” The skills of painters like Roffo do not evolve overnight– they

PHOTOGRAPHY BY KIT NOBLE

IS THE NEW CAPEFLYER TRAIN SERVICE AN EXPRESSWAY TO NANTUCKET OR JUST A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE? N MAGAZINE CLIMBS ABOARD TO FIND OUT. Escaping to Nantucket on a Friday in August can be slow torture. By the time you’ve punched the clock, packed the car and grabbed the kids, I-93 south is backed up to the Zakim Bridge and Nantucket might as well be in the Pacific. Flight is always an option, but with limited seating, timeconsuming security and costly tickets, making the commute by air isn’t exactly a breeze. Enter CapeFlyer, the newest (old) way to travel from downtown Boston to Hyannis and on to Nantucket in under three hours.

The train service has attracted national attention this summer, but many are still curious to know if this railroad revival will stay on track or eventually run out of steam.

There is something timeless and charming about train travel. Not the subway per se, but long-distance locomotives crisscrossing the country to the slow methodical chant of its engine. The CapeFlyer possesses all this nostalgia while offering modern amenities, spacious seating and a concession car. After rattling out of South Station, the train snakes through the thickly treed outskirts of Braintree and Middleborough, then passes along the marshlands of Buzzards Bay where it creeps over the Cape Cod Canal Bridge, rolls through Sandwich and finally comes to a stop in Hyannis.

There a shuttle waits to whisk you off to the ferry and on to Nantucket. The whole journey takes just over two hours and costs $35 round-trip.

The CapeFlyer is not the first rail service to connect Boston and Cape Cod. During the late 1980s and early nineties, Amtrak’s Cape Codder ran a successful service until it lost federal subsidies. There was also the Cape Cod and Hyannis Railroad, a state-subsidized service owned by Nantucket Hotel’s Mark Snyder that connected the Cape with the MBTA’s Red Line via Braintree. It too was taken off the tracks when the Commonwealth CapeFlyer from also getting derailed?

cut its subsidies. Considering this mixed track record, what’s to keep

59

“

I ‘ve always said I don’t want to have another rail service to Cape Cod if it has the potential to fail or not do well,” says Thomas Cahir, the head administrator of CapeFlyer. “I never bought into the argument that getting people from Cape Cod to Boston was the problem. But what we should do is try to get people from Boston down the Cape.” Cahir is the former Deputy Secretary of Rail, and he’s seen the train come and go over the years. Cahir’s campaign for CapeFlyer has been to entice passengers from Boston through improved bus services on the Cape, free bike transportation on the train and punctual travel time from Boston.

The Old Colony Rail and Canal Bridge have also been improved in recent years, giving the CapeFlyer a smoother more efficient ride. Add rising gas prices driving passengers out of their cars and into trains, and CapeFlyer is on the fast track to success. Cahir says the service will easily exceed its operation cost of $162,000, and there is no limit on how the service will be expanded in the years to come.

One might think that the bus and airline services from Boston to the Cape were not thrilled to see the train’s return. However, Cahir says the train’s competitors have actually been its biggest fans. “Cape Air’s CEO Dan Wolf has a big CapeFlyer sign in his office in the State House and he’s been very outspoken in support of our efforts,” says Cahir. “He sees the opportunity to coordinate and Cape Air has been incredibly supportive.” This collaboration extends to the ferry, bus and local South Shore trains, and schedules have been designed to make the passenger experience as smooth as possible down the line. “It’s really been amazing to me, the genuine enthusiasm expressed by everybody that’s been involved with it,” says Cahir.

Capeflyer will run round-trip once a day from Friday to Sunday until Labor Day. Beyond beating the traffic, the service makes a weekend trip to the Cape and the Islands a more leisurely experience for families traveling with kids. Just ask the Contrerases of Dorchester, who were on a Sunday morning trip from Boston. With two children under the age of

STRUCK WRITTEN BY TIM KELLEY

PHOTOGRAPHY BY GREG HINSON

ew England Cable News meteorologist Tim Kelley explores the history and science behind Nantucket’s thunderstorms.

On October 1, 1987, a single lightning bolt exploded from the sky right over Sunset Hill, just up from Nantucket Harbor. The Boston Globe reported that the “bolt came out of nowhere,” hitting the chimney of the Jethro Coffin House, sending it clear across the street and causing severe damage to the Oldest House on the island. The heat from the

hile Tampa, Florida is the lightning capital of the country, the storms that do hit Nantucket seem to intensify and last longer as they pass over the island. The meteorological reason for this is known as “the heat island effect.” Surrounded by cool ocean water, the warmth of the island serves as a refueling station for storms that would otherwise dissipate as they move off the mainland. Nevertheless, lightning is incredibly unpredictable, and it’s nearly impossible to pinpoint the time and place it strikes. Just ask the Boston Pops, which had to cancel their performance last August for the first time in sixteen years due to the threat of lightning.

Photographer and island resident Larry Cronin happened to be driving by when the Jethro Coffin House was struck back in 1987. “I was there before the fire department,” he says.

“The house was all closed up and it appeared the moist air inside expanded rapidly, breaking joints at the frame.” Lightning burns five times hotter than the sun, over 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit, so when it hit the house, the air molecules inside expanded instantly, setting off a bomb of pressure that blew out the studs. Fire fighters contained a small fire from the strike, but the house required extensive reconstruction to “build a new frame within the old skin,” as Cronin puts it. “But it was also an opportunity for historians to learn more about the original construction of 1686.”

Dodging lightning for three hundred years seems like a miraculous feat for the Jethro Coffin House. One has to wonder about the frequency of house fires caused by thunderstorms on the island. Nantucket Fire Department chief Mark McDougall says the storms seem to come in waves. “Some years are very busy, others not so much,” says McDougall. “But when storms do only have so many resources to fight fires.”

his was the case on August 5, 2010 when a cold front came across the sound and met a hot humid morning on Nantucket. At 12:45 p.m., lightning hit a home at 237 Polpis Road, leaving it heavily damaged, but not a total loss. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for the home in Monomoy, which was also struck by that storm. The home was completely destroyed.

A similar direct hit rocked the UMass Boston Field Station not once, but three times on August 11th last year.

“People driving on Polpis Road said it was the loudest and brightest hit that they had ever seen… they almost drove off the road,” says Dr. Sarah Oktay, the Field Station’s director. “[Resident naturalist and education coordinator] Len Germinara was there when it hit, and he said that he saw the flash and heard thunder immediately, then his laptop went poof.” Although there was no fire caused, the three strikes destroyed $20,000 of equipment. “Equipment that was screwed onto the wall was blown across the room and would have drilled me if I was there,” Dr. Oktay says. When the storm passed, the team went outside to find its “mast antenna” split down

quipment that was screwed onto the wall was blown across the room and would have drilled me if I was there” —Dr. Sarah Oktay

There are procedures for lightning storms. If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to get struck by lightning. As the saying goes, “When the thunder roars, go indoors.” Moments before lightning strikes, an ionized channel between the cloud and the ground forms what’s known as a “leader.” If you’re within that leader, your hair will stand on end and you are at high risk of getting struck. Retreat indoors immediately. However, even indoors it’s still possible to get struck. Lightning can travel through telephone and electrical cords, plumbing, and even the ground itself. There’s a legend on Nantucket of a man in ‘Sconset being struck and killed inside his bedroom because he was holding on to the metal frame of his bed when a bolt hit his home.

Many more thunderstorms will light up Nantucket’s sky in the months and years to come. It’s one of the many meteorological phenomena that we scientists and curihope is that we can live to tell the story.

In August, the best place to fish in Nantucketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waters can also to be the most dangerous.

All at once, it is the most prolific and potentially dangerous fishing spot off Nantucket. Located just outside Madaket Harbor, a horseshoe shaped sandbar acts as the doorstep to the Atlantic Ocean, holding big fish, but also big waves. For those in the know, this stretch of water is the Bonito Bar. Every August, on the incoming tide, boats stream out of the harbor headed for this legendary spot. Before they can get there, however, they need to navigate through a breaker zone that can quickly put captain and crew at the mercy of the sea. Back in 2008, two fishermen were into the water. The boat was still in gear and left the men bobbing in the churning Atlantic. Thankfully, they were able to swim to shore with the incoming tide. As for the fate of their boat: Nearly four years later it washed up on the shores of Spain.

aptains call it “the opening,” “the cut,” the channel between Smith Point and Tuckernuck Island that serves as the western entrance to the Atlantic and the passageway to the Bonito Bar. Every captain in Madaket has a story about the opening. Mine first came when I was just a mate.

The captain and I were leaving Madaket Harbor with two clients, heading west for the bar. The sets were rolling in as they usually did, big thick swells encroaching from the depths offshore, and then standing up over the shallows and avalanching into white water.

We idled just outside the opening and watched the sets roll through. Knowing the waves’ cadence is crucial; it tells you when to go, when to wait and when to pack it up and head back to the dock. The waves can be as tall as two-story buildings, but if the sets are rolling in predictably, a boat can pass through them reasonably unscathed. However, once a boat commits to going, there’s no turning back until it’s past the breaker zone. Turning around in the waves is a risky maneuver that can quickly flip a boat.

The rule of thumb is to heave to, keep the bow to the waves and take the sea head on.

With all hands on deck, we left the calm of Madaket Harbor, passing between the pinching fingers of Smith Point and Tuckernuck’s Whale Shoal, and began to bob and weave through the breaker zone. We charged up the walls of water one after another, the boat launching off the back of each wave and slamming violently into the trough. We were making pretty good headway when suddenly a massive wave rose up out of nowhere. It was twice the size of the rest and already breaking: a rogue wave.

The captain threw down the throttle but it was too late. The wave collapsed on top of us, shattering an inch-thick Plexiglas windshield and filling the twenty-six-foot boat with kneedeep water. The clients were washed to the stern, flailing on their backs like helpless turtles. The captain suffered a deep gash across his fist. And just like that, the trip was over. We limped back to the dock, wet and bloody, but also feeling pretty lucky.

As with everything on the ocean, the Bonito Bar demands respect. It’s a fickle stretch of water that can go from flat to furious with the turn of the tide. For years, only a handful of fishermen knew about the Bonito Bar phenomenon: In mid-August on the incoming tide, torpedo-like tuna called Atlantic bonito show up to feed. Eventually the local secret got out, and today the Bonito Bar looks more like downtown Nantucket in the height of summer, with tens of boats anchored just outside the breaker zone waiting for the tuna bite to turn on. Just to get out to the bar, captains become like matadors motoring around the charging waves.

The ocean seems to know exactly when your guard is down because that’s the moment she lowers her horns and

N magazine

impales you.

68

Even the island’s most experienced captains can get caught on the wrong side of a wave.

Earlier this spring, seventeen-year veteran charter captain Jason Mleczko was headed out of the opening with four clients in five- to six-foot seas when three waves climbed higher than the rest. “It was a series of waves I’d never seen before,” Captain Mleczko says. “They were skyscrapers in a sea of houses.” Mleczko took the first two waves on the bow, knocking the boat to the left and then the right. The third wave came from entirely different angle, hitting the boat almost at its stern. “It was on top of me immediately, making turning into it impossible,” he says. Mleczko tried outrunning it, but the massive wave picked them up and flipped the boat upside down.

Mleczko and a client were stuck under the boat, which was pinned on the Bonito Bar. They were able to swim to the surface and climb up on to the hull, but waves continued to crash and washed them back into the sea. When they finally gained purchase of the hull, Mleczko began searching for the other clients. Anxious minutes ticked by as he scanned the water and yelled unrelentingly. Finally they popped up about eighty feet away. Mleczko screamed for them to swim. And swim they did, driven past exhaustion by their will to survive.

With everyone now clinging to the hull and without a radio or cell phone, they began the waiting game. The outgoing tide pulled them further and further away from Nantucket, and swimming to shore was absolutely not an option. Mleczko rallied morale by insisting that the Coast Guard was looking for them, but in the back of his mind he knew that it was too foggy for a helicopter to be deployed and it would take the Coast Guard cutter at least three hours to motor to them. Instead, Mleczko knew who was coming for them: his father.

After three and a half hours clinging to the hull in the cold, a familiar sight motored across the horizon. Mleczko jumped to his feet, waving an orange life jacket. But the boat kept going. His shoulders sank and dread washed over him as he watched their only hope pass by. Then suddenly the boat made a hard turn, charging through a wave and bearing straight at them. Mleczko’s father, Captain Tom, was coming to their rescue.

“I

don’t want people to think of the Bonito Bar as an evil place. It is a spectacular place, but you have to respect it and I always have,” Mleczko says. “But in a matter of two seconds I went from full control to the mercy of the sea.” He continues, “Will I be more careful?

I guess, but I’ve always been careful. I guess now I’ve seen a punch the sea can throw that I didn’t know it had.”

So what is it about the Bonito Bar that draws so many fishermen? When the tide is right, it can be the best fishing spot in the world. In August, on the incoming tide, the bar’s namesake, Atlantic bonito, come to feed. Despite their resemblance, Atlantic bonito are not to be confused with False albacore that migrate here in early fall, or skipjack that are caught in more tropical waters. Perfectly hydrodynamic and packed with meat, bonito cruise the Atlantic in schools in search of bait. Although there are striped bass and bluefish mixed in, there is no question when a bonito strikes. Line screams off the reel and becomes like piano wire slicing through the surface. The fight leaves biceps aching and voices hoarse from hoots and hollers.

Once landed, the five- to ten-pound bonito flails stiffly. Its tiny scales make its body like velvet that beams blue, green and silver when the sun catches it right. Indeed, “bonito” means “beautiful” in Spanish. This beauty is only enhanced by its flavor. One charter captain is infamous for making his clients ritualistically eat the heart of the fish right there on the boat. Others filet it up and serve it dockside, raw with soy sauce. Not quite as savory as bluefin but equally delicious, raw dayboat bonito redefines “fresh” on Nantucket.

There are many theories amongst captains on why the Bonito Bar fishes so well in August on the incoming tide, but they all boil down to bait. When the tide rushes towards Madaket in an easterly direction, it hits the Bonito Bar and creates what’s known as an upwelling. Nutrients are driven up from the sand, and then baitfish begin to congregate in thick groups that sizzle on the surface like French fries left in the greaser too long. The bonito run up and down the bar, devouring sand eels and bending fishing rods from one boat to the next like dominos.

And so it is that the Bonito Bar lures more and more fishermen out from the safety of Madaket Harbor for a chance at hooking up with the bar’s namesake. It’s one of the many unique marine ecosystems that makes Nantucket a fishermen’s mecca. Even more so, it’s a section of water that produces some of the most skilled boatmen on the Atlantic, teaching them lessons with every furrow of its fury. In the end, however, there is only one lesson to learn: Respect the ocean, because while she can give you the time of

THE INSPIRING STORY OF ALISON VAN FLEET & TYLER LEVINE

74

LOVE

NDEPTH

T

he romance of Alison Van Fleet and Tyler Levine began like most any other. The two first met at a concert a decade ago, but it

wasn’t until six years later that they started dating on Nantucket. Once they got together they stayed together.

Their love of sports, music, travel and adventure became the backdrop to their relationship, and they began cataloging the many memories that make up a shared life. But Alison and Tyler faced bigger obstacles than most couples, and their perseverance to this day brings sharp focus to the true meaning of love.

“When we first started to date, I could still drive,” Alison says. “Now I’m not driving. I’m not really walking, and I’m in my wheelchair.” Alison suffers from a rare form of mitochondrial disease, a degenerative neuromuscular disease that attacks the “powerhouse of the cell” known as the mitochondria. She has gradually lost the ability to speak clearly and walk unassisted.

Her eyelids droop slightly and she appears restless sitting next to Tyler. Before she started using a walker and then a wheelchair, many people who came across Alison thought she was intoxicated because of her slurred speech and lack of balance. Eventually she got tired of people staring and snickering and decided to hand out business cards explaining her condition.

Alison lifts up her shirt just above her naval to reveal large scars across her abdomen from her liver transplant. A donor was found in the eleventh hour, and Alison has since made the long painful recovery out of the hospital. Sixteen years later, her life is largely dictated by mitochondrial disease, which was the root of her seizures from the beginning. “It is progressive, and there isn’t a cure,” Alison says. “I take vitamins to slow it down.” Between one thousand and four thousand children are diagnosed with mitochondrial disease each year, and Alison’s type, known as POLG, is exceptionally rare. “I have to eat, exercise and sleep.

If I don’t have those things my body stops working,” she says. And that’s where Tyler comes in. “Tyler is constantly pushing me to exercise and he really wants me to keep my body moving,” Alison says. “And I really, really like that about him because I know for a fact that my disease needs it.”

As the disease takes more and more away from Alison, Tyler doubles down his determination to keep them living an active life. “I remember one of the first things we did when we got together; we walked Tupancy Links and there was one section at

ANCHOR INTERVIEW BY ROBERT COCUZZO & BRUCE A. PERCELAY

For decades, America has turned to Katie Couric for the news.

She has interviewed the most influential people, covered the most significant events, all in the same trustworthy Katie Couric fashion that millions have come to love. This August, the Nantucket Cottage Hospital has turned to Katie to host this summer’s Boston Pops concert on Jetties Beach. In celebration of the event, N Magazine spoke to Katie about her love for Nantucket, her inspiring advocacy work for cancer research and awareness and about some of the highlights from her award-winning career.

N: You’ve hosted the Boston Pops on Nantucket several times.

What do you love about this event?

KATIE COURIC: It’s a fantastic night. The setting is beautiful. I love to support the Boston Pops because they really are an American institution. There is such a nice feeling to the event, with families and people coming together to enjoy each other with beautiful music and fireworks. It feels like it’s out of a Norman Rockwell painting.

N: You originally co-hosted the event with beloved Nantucket summer resident Tim Russert.

KATIE COURIC: I was very touched when Tim initially asked me to be the co-host with him. That was such a special night. I know how much he loved Nantucket and he loved the Pops and the whole occasion, so I think it’s just especially meaningful for me

to continue that tradition that was started with Tim.

85

N: Have you made strides bridging that gap?

KATIE COURIC: Stand Up to Cancer has been very gratifying for me because we have raised about $280 million. More importantly, we are trying to change the paradigm of cancer research by getting scientists to actually work together. That’s really our mandate: Scientists have to share their resources and wisdom to try to come up with more effective ways to battle this disease. They are starting to make significant strides and I think the idea of pooling our resources is really starting to bear fruit and lead to some very exciting new breakthroughs.

N: Over the course of your career, you’ve interviewed some of the most influential people of our time. Who’s impressed you most?

KATIE COURIC: There are a lot of incredibly admirable people I’ve had the opportunity to interview from all different walks of life. David McCullough is one, because he is such a prolific author and erudite, but also a gentleman.

and has always had grace under pressure.

N: You are such an inspiring advocate for cancer research and awareness. Can you tell us more specifically about your efforts and where your inspiration comes from?

KATIE COURIC: Nothing is as motivating as a profound personal loss. When my husband died, I felt so powerless during the course of his illness. Once we lost Jay, I wanted to try to help other people who I knew felt equally, if not even more, powerless than I did. I felt very strongly about trying to share what I had learned over the course of Jay’s illness, about the fact that colon cancer in particular is highly preventable. There are screenings and opportunities that I wanted people to take advantage of. Then I wanted to extend my advocacy to all kinds of cancer because of the shrinking federal budget for cancer research.

gent and had such an interesting background

to support cancer research. There are so many great ideas out there and so many incredibly talented scientists, but only one in ten meritorious research proposals is funded. We have a huge gap between exciting, potentially groundbreaking ideas and the money to support those ideas.

N: Your interview with Sarah Palin arguably changed the tides of her politiacal career.

What was your philosophy going into that interview?

KATIE COURIC: I think that was an important interview because people didn’t know much about Governor Palin at the time, and I felt that it was really important for voters to understand what made her tick, her political philosophy, how she would

away from the presidency. I felt that I asked questions that would show her accumulated knowledge, her political experience and her capacity to be a critical thinker. That’s basically what guided me in that interview.

N: Media as a whole is experiencing something of a revolution, with print leading the charge toward going digital. How do you see television evolving in the next ten years?

KATIE COURIC: I think that there will always be a place for quality television, but I do think increasingly you are seeing quality content migrate to digital platforms. People consume information how they want, where they want, when they want. Having information online provides an opportunity for people to consume it. People aren’t coming to the medium, the medium is coming to them, and as a result I think that more and more we’re going to see an expanding digital marketplace.

N: So many media personalities and executives have homes on Nantucket. Do you ever have any plans to have a little island cottage?

KATIE COURIC: Well right now I have a house in East Hampton because it’s a little easier to get to for me from New York. If I do ever get a place in Nantucket, it will definitely be a place where I would like to spend more time. I definitely hope to at least make an

PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBERT KRIVICICH

The adventures of Nantucketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bestselling author and award-winning journalist, Charles Graeber Charles Graeber is drinking bourbon when we first meet at 12 Degrees East in downtown Nantucket. A stack of his overnight bestseller The Good Nurse, which he wrote in an attic just up the street from here, sits beside him on the bar. Signing the last copy, he throws back the bourbon and then motions to the bartender for another double. At forty-three years old, Graeber is in-demand, with editors of top magazines calling him up asking what he wants to write about next. And yet among the many stories that built his writing career, Charles Graeberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own might just be the most interesting.

A

t six-feet-and-change with intense, arresting eyes, there is something rough-and-tumble about Charles Graeber that comes out in his writing. He doesn’t so much tell his

stories as heave them like flaming Molotov cocktails that set your worldview on fire. His literary currency is his voice, the sheer force of which conjures the likes of Hunter S. Thompson and Jack Kerouac. But twenty years ago, when he decided to go pro as a writer and poet, it was Graham Greene, the travel writer and MI6 spy of the 1930s that Graeber wanted to be most like. “I decided I was going to be this sort of literary cowboy capitalist involved in elicit snake milking and oil deals and wild characters,” Graeber tells me, the Kentucky bourbon wafting off his every word. “I’d make my fortune or at least see what’s happening and write something great about it.” Thus began his life off the grid, a time so unbelievable and so bizarre that perhaps the most amazing thing about it is he survived.

His stories go on and on, clicking from one outrageous account to the next like rounds in a revolver. Joining the circus in East Berlin. Forging a Visa to get into Uzbekistan. Meeting the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala.

Studying Tibetan medicine under a group of monks. Driving off a cliff during the Baja 2000. Living in Cambodia between the civil wars. Riding atop the Sihanoukville Express “Death Train” through the Elephant Mountains. Arriving at the Brandenburg Gate in time to help pull down

Dragging a rowboat up the River Ganges in India. Betting his last $100 in a vodka-drinking contest in Phnom Penh. Crossing Haiti on horseback.

Piranha fishing in the Pantanal. Falling in love, evading death, going mad and losing it all—over and over. Yet no matter where his adventures took him, no matter how many times he went for broke, Graeber always returned to the same place to collect himself and to write.

“This is the place I come when the world kicks my ass,” he says, leading me up two flights of stairs in his family’s home on Ash Street. The attic is everything one might hope for in a writer’s study, complete with rustic exposed beams, old photographs and talismans from his many adventures. He reaches up to the windowsill and pulls down a dusty bottle of bourbon. “This bottle of Japanese Wild Turkey came out of a liquor store in the tsunami in the ruined city of Kamaishi where I was living,” he says.

Graeber wasn’t always this in demand, however. In fact his rise has been anything but linear, taking him from the Beacon on Nantucket to the Budapest Sun in Hungary to the Phnom Penh Post in Cambodia. The tipping point finally came after he narrowly escaped the civil war in Cambodia and returned once again to this attic on Nantucket. “I just sat down here and started to write out what I had seen,” Greaber says. “After seventy-five pages I thought

healing globally INTERVIEW BY BRUCE A. PERCELAY

PHOTOGRAPHY BY MICHAEL DISKIN

VANESSA KERRY HAS ALWAYS DONE IT HER WAY. Despite being the daughter of Secretary of State John Kerry, Vanessa Kerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive comes from within. There is an unmistakable focus about Vanessa Kerry that suggests she is a person on a mission.

The Harvard medical school honors graduate has taken a wider view of medicine that could someday dramatically impact world health. Kerry left Harvard medical school with not only a degree, but with a vision that has since become a growing nonprofit. Working in collaboration with the Peace Corps and Massachusetts General Hospital, Kerry is the CEO of Seed Global Health, an organization whose objective is to train doctors and nurses in resource-limited countries with the ultimate goal of making

N: You are remarkably focused. Were you this way when you were very young?

DR. KERRY: I was that kid who always knew I wanted to be a doctor. There are pictures of me wearing glasses and carrying a microscope, because I thought that’s what you did to be a doctor and that’s how you got invested in that world. My family tells stories of me studying ants as they crawled across the pavement. They would argue that I am still overly focused—which is why I come back to the ocean here on Nantucket. It reminds me to lift my head up and enjoy my surroundings.

N: What do you think influenced your early ambition?

DR. KERRY: I grew up in a house of public servants, my father was in the Senate and my mother was very alone. I grew up with this great sense of being engaged with the world and people around you.

But I also think that there’s diplomacy any time you are engaging with another culture and you are making their priorities your priorities.

N: Can you give some specifics as to Seed Global Health’s goals?

DR. KERRY:

We are launching in Tanzania,

Malawi and Uganda this summer. There are 31 volunteers deploying in the program this year.

When we go to Malawi, for example, we will partner with the University of Malawi, the Malawian public sector, and US government collaborators to help strengthen the ability for leadership—the Ministries of Higher Education and Ministry of Health’s—to reach their training and human resource goals. Training new doctors and nurses from Malawi will allow those individuals to in turn train additional future doctors and nurses. Ideally, in ten years, Malawi will have an independent, and country-owned health system supported by faculty from their own country, staffed with trained doctors and nurses in the field who will serve their communities for years to come.

SWIM ACROSS AMERICA WRITTEN BY JEN LASKEY

PHOTOGRAPHY BY BEVERLY HALL

FIGHTING CANCER ON NANTUCKET ONE STROKE AT A TIME Swim Across America (SAA) returns to Nantucket this August for its second year thanks to an enthusiastic group of islanders who are swimming hard for a cure for cancer. “What’s unique about this year is that every penny we raise after expenses is going to stay on island,” says Jill Roethke, the event’s co-director. Net proceeds will support the Nantucket Cottage Hospital’s new N magazine

Jill’s husband, Steve, was diagnosed with

malignant melanoma. “He’s clear now,” she says. “But it puts things into perspective and changes your life.” A year ago, there were limited services available to them. “We did use PASCON, and they were great about addressing how to talk to our kids about cancer and how to talk to each other. Obviously, we’d never been faced with that before,” she explains. But other than the dermatologist Steve initially saw on island, all of his subsequent treatment took place at Dana-

Island resident Caitlin Marcoux can attest to the great need for additional services on Nantucket.

Marcoux was diagnosed with breast cancer this spring, and has often had to travel back and forth to Boston to receive treatment. “It is a heartbreaking reality that Nantucket needs additional support for its growing population of cancer patients,” she says.

“I have been lucky enough to receive most of my chemotherapy treatments here at home. I have seen with my own eyes how important it will be for us to expand our oncology program.” She continues, “People ask me on a daily basis how they can help me in my fight against cancer: SAA’s Open Water Challenge is an empowering way to get involved in supporting not just me, but all of us in need.”

Imagine that your driveway is your dock and your garage is your slip. Thus the appeal of Sealegs, an amphibious boat designed to bring the water to those who do not have the benefit of direct waterfront property. Sealegs is built with technology created for rapid response from beach to water using two hydraulic wheel motors that come up like landing gear once the boat is submerged. Resembling a Zodiac with three legs, the vessel looks like a fish out of water when on terra firma, but the convenience of being able to drive your boat to the town pier at Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beach, go for a cruise and then drive home, would be for many a dream come true.

THIS SUMMER’S MOST HOTLY ANTICIPATED RESTAURANT OPENS ITS DOORS ON INDIA STREET Just when you thought Nantucket’s restaurant scene had it all, The Proprietors on India Street has served up a completely unique island dining experience. The creation of American Seasons owners Michael and Orla LaScola and former Great Harbor Yacht Club chef Tom Berry, The Proprietors moved into the old space of DeMarco Restaurant and gave the building a complete overhaul, from its rustic exposed beams and bricks down to its industrial-inspired appliances and antique china. With a delectable menu to match, diners are flocking to The Proprietors nightly. N Magazine caught up with one of The Proprietors’ proprietors, Orla LaScola, to see what they have cooking on India Street.

N magazine

141

N: What is unique about this space?

ORLA LASCOLA: The beauty of this

J

space is that it allows for a number of different experiences: upstairs is light and airy and more relaxed; the front room is intimate and cozy; the bar is very large and allows for a comfortable spot to enjoy a full meal or have snacks with friends; and the green room is bright and loud due to its proximity to the bar.

N: The space has been given a complete overhaul; what was the philosophy behind your design choices?

ORLA LASCOLA: We knew early on that we wanted the space to maintain the integrity and feeling of the old building that it is. Both Michael and Tom wanted the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nantucket feelâ&#x20AC;? of the space to be evident. So I worked with local artists: Evita Caune from Riptide Designs made the walls in the bar to look and feel like brushed metal, while Audrey Sterk and I worked on the grey blue tones for the wallpaper. I wanted to have the color tones of the ocean before storms. Over the winter we salvaged an old tin ceiling, which we used on the bar front.

I spent the winter collecting antique plates, which we used for table dressing and for decoration. I had lights made from antique mason jars.

N: For diners who have come to love American Seasons over the years, what can they expect to be similar and different at The Proprietors?

ORLA LASCOLA: Where American Seasons is focused on flavors from Nantucket and America, The Proprietors takes inspiration from a well-traveled, international palate. Michael and Tom are both committed to sustainable practices in farming and food preparation, N magazine

so their ethos about food and cooking

142

is similar. Both chefs will give you food with a modern twist, where freshness is of optimum importance.

N: You now have one of the longer bars in town. What was the thinking behind the wine and cocktail lists?

ORLA LASCOLA: The wine list was designed by our wine director, Brittany Casos. Our bar manager Jared Johnson has worked very hard to design a cocktail and liquor program that is unique to Nantucket; we chose not to name the drinks, but have guests call them by number.

N: What can you get at The Proprietors that isn’t available anywhere else?

ORLA LASCOLA: Like American Seasons, this restaurant feels like Nantucket, you could not be anywhere else in the world.

N: Has the owner of the building supported your efforts towards getting Proprietors up and running?

ORLA LASCOLA: Bernard Chiu and his team have been so supportive during this process.

N: What elements of Chef Tom Berry’s culinary expertise are coming to the forefront for the first time?

ORLA LASCOLA: The idea of the menu is to encourage people to share and have multiple plates. It’s a more family style of eating. We also offer a more traditional way coursing a meal should you wish.

N: Is there a level of collaboration between Chef Michael and Chef Tom in designing the menu? How has their history together yielded an amazing culinary opportunity here?

ORLA LASCOLA: It was always important that this was Tom’s menu. They have bounced ideas off each other, and the idea behind the menu was a collaboration between the three of us.

N: The restaurant is named after Nantucket’s original proprietors. How do you see your restaurant connecting to those early Nantucketers?

ORLA LASCOLA: We love the idea of travel and discovery. This space is an opportunity to try something that is new to you, whether it’s food, wine or drinks. It feels like an old building slightly lost in time; you could walk past it, it’s unassuming. That is what Nantucket is to us: somewhere that feels unpresumptuous and relaxing. We in that they came here from somewhere else. None of us, Tom, Michael or I, are from Nantucket originally, but love that it is our home.

SWIFT SERVICE WRITTEN BY ROBERT COCUZZO

PHOTOGRAPHY BY KIT NOBLE

DESPITE A HEARTBREAKING LOSS IN THE STANLEY CUP FINALS, THERE’S STILL A POSITIVE STORY COMING OUT OF THE BRUINS LOCKER ROOM THANKS TO A LOCAL CRAFTSMAN.

For most professional hockey players who met former Bruins great Cam Neely “around the glass,” it usually meant being on the receiving end of a body-crushing check. But for Nantucket resident Stephen Swift, his relationship with Neely and a pane of glass has been far less painful. For the last sixteen years, Swift has been Neely’s “glass guy,” commissioned to do ornate glass carvings for the Boston Bruins as well as for Neely’s nonprofit, The Neely Foundation for Cancer Care.

A lifelong Bruins fan, Swift guides us around the Bruins

Swift has been there every step of the way.

“My dad passed away from cancer just about the time Cam started his foundation,” Swift says. “Just being here, I have become friendly with many families. Once you get connected to this community, you are always connected.”

Of all the glass Swift has carved for each new wing, a portrait of Neely’s father is perhaps most dear to him. Swift had never undertaken a portrait before, and with just days before the wing opened, he was still figuring out how to transfer a six-by-eight photo onto a huge slab of glass, which now greets those entering the Michael Neely Neuroscience Center.

“The work that Steve has done for the Cam Neely Foundation for Cancer Care has given us the opportunity to properly recognize all the people involved in supporting the various projects in a very classy, elegant and timely manner,” says Cam Neely, who is also president of the Boston Bruins.

The Neely Foundation raised $1.5 million dollars to open yet another wing at Tufts, The Marlene Neely Endoscopy Suite. The wing is in memory of Neely’s mother who passed away from colon cancer, and pictures of her have already been selected for Swift to transfer onto glass. And he is happy to be of service, having found his own unique way to contribute to the fight against cancer.

A TASTE OF NANTUCKET’S NO-NONSENSE RESTAURANT SCENE Foodies love Nantucket. No doubt the island boasts the highest number of fine dining establishments per square mile of most anywhere else. However, there comes a time when even the most discerning diner is simply not in the mood for flickering candlelight, intricate plate presentation and the eye-popping check that goes with it all.

Thankfully, Nantucket also serves up several scrumptious options for home-style cooking in casual, laid-back atmospheres where great food is paired with fair prices and generous portions. Here’s just a taste of six local eateries where you can feast without the fuss.

fusaro’s

Fusaro’s Homemade Italian on Old South Road is Nantucket’s version of a North End landmark.

Think Italian auntie in the kitchen kneading batches of pasta dough, a copper cauldron of bubbling marinara sauce on the stove, oversized plates heaped with linguine and topped with grandma’s famous meatballs or chicken parm. Baskets of buttery garlic bread and crispy eggplant fries are

among the favorites of the loyal regulars, as is the delicate ricotta-filled, chocolate-drizzled cannoli. Husband and wife owners Tom and Stacy Fusaro greet patrons nightly at their family-run eatery with Tom’s niece Karen Thureson donning the chef’s hat in the kitchen.

The ambiance is down-home and comfortable. Black and white prints of Tom’s ancestors, who emigrated from Calabria in the late 1800s, hang on the walls, and a lively buzz emanates from the bar. Red and white

tables welcoming couples and families alike with simple place settings.

millie’s

Named after legendary Coast Guardswoman “Madaket” Millie Jewett, Millie’s opened in 2010 in the former Westender location at the end of Madaket Road. Millie’s owners wisely kept in place two of the old haunt’s claims to fame: unobstructed views of the spectacular sunsets and the “Madaket Mystery,” a powerful rum-based cocktail.

With a strong emphasis on south-of-the-boarder and Creole specialties, notable dishes include the spicy fish tacos and the Cajun po-boys, French bread subs filled with tangy fried shrimp, crawfish and Louisiana hot sausage or catfish. From June till September, Millie’s is packed with flip-flops and bathing suits as their clientele comes directly off the beach or peddles in on bikes or takes the restaurant’s complimentary shuttle from town. The food is freshly prepared, reasonably priced and tasty. The atmosphere is laid-back, easy and fun. Walking off the beach, there is no better place to toast the sunset than on Millie’s second floor.

the thai house

If your taste buds are steering you towards the east, the Far East that is, then The Thai House at the end of Old South Road is a good place to land. A universal truth about ordering Asian food is the tendency to over order. If this proves true for you, your order for two might include appetizers of zesty drunken noodle soup, coconut-flavored Tom Kha Kai, plump pork dumplings and lightly fried shrimp rolls. Entrees include curry dishes of mango or pineapple with chicken or beef, Pad Thai (a must), and an order of ginger scallion shrimp (plump shrimp stir-fried with plenty of freshly grated ginger, onions, baby corn, shiitake mushrooms and peppers). Finish it all off with some palate cooling green tea ice cream, and, for the truly peckish, a fried banana. While the decor may be rather uninspired, the cuisine more than makes up for it with dishes as spicy and aromatic as any youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d find in Boston or New York. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve fallen into the company of those without

N magazine

a taste for Thai, no problem: The Thai House also serves Chinese and Japanese-inspired cuisine, including sushi.

156

kitty murtagh’s Walking into Kitty Murtagh’s on West Creek Street is to walk into old country Ireland, complete with a boisterous Irish pub atmosphere, flowing Guinness, soccer on the telly, and even a wait staff that takes your order in a distinctly Celtic brogue. Kitty’s serves up hearty Irish pub fare at its best: shepherd’s pie, bangers and mashed, beer-battered fish-n-chips and an Irish fry-up served with a generous side of black and white pudding, prepared as so much the Irish cuisine, there is a fine selection of American food dishes, from a chef salad to a ten-ounce center cut sirloin to shrimp scampi. Portions are generous and the pricing is just about as good as it gets on Nantucket.

the miacomet golf course Teeing up dinner or lunch at Miacomet Golf Course’s clubhouse is a long-kept local secret. The Miacoment Golf Course is considered one of New England’s best public golf courses, and the clubhouse restaurant offers delicious fare that will meet the appetite of any man, woman or caddy. The lunch menu features a well-balanced sampling of salads and sandwiches—including time-honored favorites such as a classic BLT and grilled hot dogs—at prices that will keep you out of the rough.

There is always a hearty soup special and the robust, juicy burgers can be stacked as high as you can handle. For dinner, there is a standard country club menu: prime rib, baked haddock and chicken Parmesan. And with Cisco Brewery and Triple 8 Distillery just across the fairway, the bar is stocked with freshly brewed, local beers, ales and spirits to complement your order. While you may not be wowed by the décor inside—it is clean but sparse—views of the well-manicured greens, distant

pond and coastline make this an idyllic Nantucket escape.

158

siam to go Located at the concession stand of the Nantucket Ice Community Rink on Backus Lane, Siam To Go brings the heat with a Thai menu that will put your appetite in check. Start off with the chicken satay and miso soup, then move on to a chef specialty of Nam Sod (spicy pork with fresh ginger salad), and finish it off with a couple entrĂŠe staples like Siamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pad thai or drunken noodles. The meal is nicely capped off with some fried ice cream or banana spring roll. Just as its name suggests, Siam To Go is mostly for pick up, but there are picnic tables in the rink where you can eat your dinner and maybe catch a hockey game or figure skating performance. Best of all, the prices will keep N magazine

you out of the penalty box.

“Getting to the top is a challenge, staying there shouldn’t be.”

“After working with some of the most successful families in the world, we have seen certain systematic patterns emerge. Creation of wealth and its preservation across time and generations demand distinct perspectives and approaches, some of which are easy to see but many of which are simply not apparent. Issues not in full view during the climb to the summit can arise and become as challenging as those overcome while climbing to the peak.”

antucket is known as a destination in which its visitors, upon stepping off the dock onto its cobblestone streets, are immediately transported into another time.

While fashion is an ever-evolving representation of personality and lifestyle, island style today at its core remains true to the original flair of island residents through the decades.

A peek at styles from recreational pursuits of years gone by illustrates evolving hemlines, silhouettes and details indicative of a particular time and era. However, many elements of Nantucket style are still recognizable today.

Breezy fabrics reign, perfect for volleying serves at the yacht club or hopping aboard a friend’s vessel for an impromptu soiree on the open seas.

Seaside essentials, from a fabulously fitted swim-

Whether your idea of summer recreation includes a bike ride in Codfish Park, or sashaying across a ‘Sconset tennis court, classic silhouettes and bright whites remain timeless style signatures for Nantucketers of all ages.

A DOZEN DO’S TWELVE WAYS TO GET ACKTIVE THIS AUGUST

WRITTEN BY HOLLY FINIGAN

Summer is in full swing, the weather is gorgeous, and town is packed. Although I know you probably adore the comforts of your Nantucket retreat, I say get out and get ACKtive on our gorgeous Grey Lady! Here are a dozen hip and fresh ways to enjoy all the island has to offer.

2

Head down to the Nantucket Boat Basin and get an ice cream from Nantucket Ice Cream and Juice Guys while you people watch and daydream about what it’d be like to own a yacht.

3

Get out on the water with personal trainer Jami Lower as she teaches small groups what’s up with SUP! Stand up paddle is a great workout and an awesome way to get some Vitamin D while you’re at it!

4

Head out to the sleepy village of ‘Sconset and take a Bluff Walk along Baxter Road. It is all at once beautiful and sad to see the way erosion has taken over sections of the cliff, especially after this past winter.

5

Jump up and down to the awesome live music that comes to the legendary Chicken Box on a nightly basis. A blACKbook can’t miss? Galactic on August 13 is sure to sell out, so get ‘em while you can!

6

See the island on two wheels with Jason Bridges of Nantucket Bike Tours: not only a super fun and informative tour, but also a great way to view all the hidden gems you miss in a car.

7

Become a member of Annye’s Whole Foods “cooler club” where they pack all you need for a beach picnic. Rent a Jeep and drive out to Great Point for a day feeling a world away.

8

Get your dance on with the Audio Architects DJs at Pazzo every Saturday night in the summer. A blACKbook can’t miss: Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation on August 17th.

9

Stroll around Old South Wharf and browse the fabulous new boutiques this season. blACKbook favorites? For girls it’s Space and for guys it’s ONE ORANGE.

10

Start your day with a great stretch from yogi Jess Jenkins and her Sunrise Yoga class on Mondays and Fridays at The Yoga Room. Sixty minutes of vinyasa, pranayama, and meditation. Get ready to say ommmm.

11

Catch some sun while you catch some blues; that’s what you can expect when you take a fishing charter out with the hilarious and oh-so-knowledgeable Brian Borgeson of Absolute Sports Fishing.

12

Speaking of boat tours, a new blACKbook must is joining the Barton & Gray Mariners Club, the ultimate in day boating on the island! And getting the chance to swim around Tuckernuck in a stunning Hinckley? That’s perfection in my blACKbook.
