REESE WItHERSPoon

N Magazine’s recent exposé on the hunger and homelessness issue on nantucket received unprecedented traction online, reaching over 31,000 people within the first week. Shared by hundreds, the article prompted a dialogue online that N Magazine hopes will expedite solutions for these dire needs within our community.

Actress Reese Witherspoon caused quite a stir on social media last month when she posted a photo of herself and her husband Jim toth on Straight Wharf, putting local fans on high alert. Even Cisco Brewery got in on the action by reaching out to the Wild star over Instagram in hopes of buying her a drink.

n MAG on ESPn When ESPn analyst Field Yates posted a photo of his N Magazine interview on Instagram, his “nFL Insiders” cohosts made sure it didn’t go unnoticed. the page popped up at the end of one of their segments, complete with some healthy ribbing, which Field took in stride.

NANTUCKET

A lot to

tHINK ABoUt Fall on Nantucket gives us a lot to think about, quite literally. Once again, The Nantucket Project will bring to town some of the most innovative and forward-thinking people in the country to share thoughts and ideas that have the potential to reshape our world. Our cover story features this year’s Nantucket Project headliner, Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak, who along with Steve Jobs reinvented the world of computers and has reoriented our culture in the process. Wozniak shares with N Magazine his thoughts about the myths and legends surrounding Jobs as well as his personal concerns relative to the future impact of robots on society. There may be no one whom N Magazine has interviewed over the past fourteen years who could have more impact on each of our lives than Craig Venter, who will also be featured at The Nantucket Project. N Magazine had the opportunity to sit down with one of Time magazine’s most influential people in the world to discuss his extraordinary work on the human genome and its implications for increasing human longevity and improving the quality of all our lives. In the realm of significant medical breakthroughs, Venter is no less significant than polio vaccine discoverer Jonas Salk or pioneer of antiseptic surgery Joseph Lister. Looking into the future, N Magazine previews the virtual reality documentary that The Nantucket Project will be showcasing this September. With cutting-edge virtual reality headsets, attendees at the event will be transported to Africa where they will witness the new forms of innovation taking place worlds away. The film also captures President Obama’s address to Kenya during his historic visit last July, the first time a President has ever been filmed using virtual reality. On a more down to earth subject, N Magazine interviewed Tom Hopkins, executive director of the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board, which seeks to maximize wheelchair accessibility in public spaces. A Nantucket native, Hopkins was stricken with cancer at a young age and is now confined to a wheelchair. He has used his disability to improve the lives of others and gives everyone a chance to see Nantucket through the eyes of those who have mobility challenges. Also on the local level, we highlight the creative genius of four up-andcoming Nantucket artists. Illustrator Morgan Sayle, photographer Dan LeMaitre, actress Marina Morrissey, and musician Jacob Anthony Butler are each a testament to what you can achieve when you put your mind to it. We hope this September issue gives you plenty to think about as you enjoy the beginning of fall. Sincerely,

Editor and Publisher

Stretching: the truth wrItten by isAiAH truyMAN

PhotograPhy by Kit NoBle

Flexibility may be the most fundamentally vital fitness quality in life, and yet the practice of stretching is sorely misunderstood. the truth is that the science behind stretching is inconclusive and largely based on unsubstantiated theories and anecdotal evidence. today the thinking behind stretching is much different than what you might have learned in gym class.

Old PhilOsOPhy StatIC StretChIng MUSCLeS beFore eXerCISe. the problem is that static stretching basically overrides the muscles’ regulators through prolonged time under tension, resulting in a muscle relaxing and stretching beyond its naturally safe range of motion. this acts like a chokehold that puts your muscles to sleep right before higher intensity activity. not a good idea. Moreover, because of the passive nature of static stretching, it is possible to create a lax joint. when a lax joint is created, there is a large range of motion but not enough dynamic control throughout the entire range of motion. this can lead to the potential for easy injury or “hypermobility.” Static stretching is reserved for post-exercise to correct a specific muscle imbalance only.

Dynamic stretches such as walking lunges, leg swings or trunk circles activate the nervous system’s connection with muscle response and increases readiness for more vigorous exercise. additionally, control is developed throughout the full range of motion around joints. Dynamic stretches can also teach you to maintain good posture, increase your core temperature, increase your balance and coordination, activate your core stabilizers, and

In the span of a week, candidates Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Chris Christie were all on island fishing for funds. It was reported that Hillary Clinton, having hopped over from a rumored $700,000 haul on the Vineyard, netted over $300,000 on Nantucket. The specifics on the success of the other candidates were unknown at press time, however there’s no doubt as to the attractiveness of Nantucket as a fundraising destination.

f you’re not paying attention, you could walk right past it. The simple glass facade of Nantucket’s newest restaurant on North Water Street is marked only by white trim and a small red sign hanging above its door reading Station 21. However, the energy buzzing from within is unmistakable, a harbinger of the fact that serial restaurateur Marco Coelho has created yet another recipe for culinary gold. Set in the former home of Seth and Angela Raynor’s Corazon del Mar, Station 21 opened in late-July after receiving a complete renovation, which is delightfully reminiscent of a bar you might find in New York City’s Meatpacking District. Audrey Sterk designed the décor to be crisp, clean and airy, complemented by a high ceiling and balcony facing the front entrance. “The interior design concept pays tribute to the historic building by using natural materials and applications of brick and plaster techniques,” explains Audrey Sterk. “The rough textures give the interior a raw industrial feel mixed with sleek and modern elements.” “Lots of restaurants on Nantucket have a similar look, but I wanted to try and do something different,” Marco Coelho says, referencing the brick walls and distinct tiled flooring. “I wanted to go for a cool, New York feel, where Lola [Coelho’s other restaurant] might have more of a European vibe.”

N magazine

ore than a hundred years since their original construction, the jetties leading into Nantucket harbor have fallen into disrepair, making waypoints designed to aid mariners into potentially deadly hazards. At least one boat crashes into the jetties every year says Dave Fronzuto, Nantucket’s emergency management coordinator who has rescued people off the rocks for decades. “It was years of frustration,” he says. “You pluck them off the jetty and bring them in. And while your heart rate is coming back down, you say to yourself, ‘We really need to do something about this.’” The potential danger of the jetties came into harsh focus in 2006 when a French sail-

reset. “We’ll pull it apart and put it back together sort of like a big jigsaw puzzle,” explains Craig Martin, the project manager from the Army Corps of Engineers. “It’s not just the dumping of stone.” Some on the island are concerned that the new jetties will tarnish the view of Nantucket Harbor. To this Martin replies, “It’s going to look better than it looks now. Right now it’s sort of in shambles. It looks like a pile of rock. The new structure will be interlocked. It will look much cleaner than it does now…the actual aesthetics will be improved.” The east and west jetties are classified as half-tide jetties, meaning they remain mostly below the surface at high tide to allow for sand to pass over them. While the new jetties will technically remain halftide jetties, their new heights will reflect the sea level rise anticipated over the next fifty years. As a result, they will indeed be more visible during high tide, thus improving their navigational effectiveness. In addition to improving their appearance and their critical navigational value, the new jetties will also improve the harbor’s water quality. Today, when the harbor flushes with the outgoing tide, water escapes through the spaces between the rocks like holes in a garden hose. With the new jetties’ interlocked stones, the speed of the outgoing tide will increase, thus improving the flushing effect for the harbor. The last time any work was done on the jetties was in the 1960s. Dave Fronzuto and the Army Corps of Engineers are confident that after this project is complete the future of the jetties will be solid—solid as a rock.

om Hopkins wants to be able to get into every club and restaurant on Nantucket. No, Hopkins isn’t some ambitious social climber, but rather serves as the director of the Architectural Access Board for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts where he oversees all new construction relative to the state’s compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. “Whether you’re a disabled veteran or you were born with a traditional disability or you were hurt at the Marathon bombing, [handicap] access is very important to people,” Hopkins says. “If you’re sort of blasé about it, people suffer. They don’t get their right to eat at a favorite restaurant or get a birth certificate from town hall, or they can’t get into the library.”

How Nantucket native Tom Hopkins is making the island accessible for all.

Born on Nantucket in 1954, Hopkins has firsthand experience with the challenges of navigating the island by wheelchair. “I had cancer as a kid,” he says. “I was very ill, had major surgeries, leg amputation, lost part of my lung, part of my skull. I was sick for a long time.” Doctors gave him six months to live. “I was treated at Children’s Hospital in Boston, and a lot of folks donated blood for me to survive.” Miraculously, Hopkins beat N magazine

The NaNTuckeT ProjecT makes hisTory Through virTual realiTy. The Nantucket Project (TNP) prides itself on bringing some of the most sought-after speakers to the island each September—sometimes doing so by any means necessary. Last year, TNP made headlines by beaming in WikiLeaks founder and international fugitive Julian Assange from his quarters in the Ecuadorian embassy in London to the Dreamland Theater on Nantucket in the form of a hologram. For their fifth act, co-founders Tom Scott and Kate Brosnan and their team have something equally audacious planned. Using cutting-edge virtual reality technology, this year’s audience will be transported to Africa to witness President Obama’s address to Kenya, as if they were sitting right there in the audience. Obama’s speech is just one scene in a documentary that the TNP team shot this past July, which will be shown at this year’s conference. Joining forces with Stephanie Riggs, the director of Azimyth Creation Studio, TNP’s Daniel Honan, Aaron Neu, and Jennifer Hobdy traveled to Nigeria, Kenya and Rwanda equipped with a 360 degree virtual reality camera. “With virtual reality, the idea is to take people to places that are hard to get to—whether it’s physically hard or financially,” explains Daniel Honan. “You are immersed in a place that is far removed from your everyday experiences.” In keeping with the ethos of The Nantucket Project, the filmmakers focused on emerging innovations in Africa. “The story that we’re looking to tell is to create a new context for people to understand the creativity that is happening in Africa,” Honan explained. “Doing this in a

very October, more than two million pounds of cranberries are harvested from the Nantucket Conservation

Foundation’s

bogs.

That’s approximately 666 million berries being flooded, beaten, raked, washed, screened, and loaded within a month. While the harvesting methods have evolved from the fruit being tediously handpicked to efficiently machine collected, these cranberries grow from the very same vines that were farmed over a 150 years ago, back when Nantucket laid claim to the largest contiguous bog in the country. Today, these cranberry vines serve as a direct connection to an oft forgotten period of Nantucket history that the Conservation Foundation is committed to keeping alive. To do so, the cranberries that they harvest each fall end up in some pretty unexpected places. Apart from a relatively small portion sold to local merchants, all of the cranberries harvested on Nantucket are shipped off-island and sold to big fruit companies such as Ocean Spray, Decas, or, most recently, The Power of Fruit. Given the global reach of each of these companies, it’s entirely possible that when someone pours a glass of cranberry juice in Europe, the cranberries they are enjoying were harvested from bogs on Nantucket. Beyond juicing, freezing or drying, some of the island’s cranberries also get distilled down into pill form by nutraceutical companies selling them as rich antioxidant supplements that help fight heart disease, stroke, ulcers, urinary N magazine

Lifelong summer resident Marina Morrissey is no stranger to hard work. A longtime dancer, Morrissey spent her teenage years touring around Massachusetts, Miami, and the United Kingdom before discovering her real love for acting and the theater. The Williams alum and current Brown/Trinity MFA student now has big plans for Nantucket, including making the island an epicenter for the creation of new theatrical work. “I would love to find a way to make this place a gestational development destination for theater, a yearround destination,” she explains. “I want to create infrastructure so that playwrights can come here in the fall, write into the winter, and enjoy the creative boons of being in such a remote, beautiful, and aesthetically stimulating location.” After her debut role last summer as Peggy in the White Heron’s production of Family Furniture, Morrissey has won the hearts of many Nantucketers, including the president and artistic director of the White Heron Theatre Company, Lynne Bolton, who sings the young star’s praises. “I think Marina is one of those gifted people who was born to be an actress. She intuitively understands characters and situations. She has the will, and she certainly has the gift,” she says. Marina is incredibly grateful for her start at the White Heron, and will continue her work with them this September in the White Heron’s upcoming production of Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike.

Jacob anthony butler, 25 Musician

They say it takes a village, and Jacob Anthony Butler’s music career on Nantucket is the perfect example. After moving to the island with his family in 2003, when he was thirteen, Butler began his work as a musician under the watchful eye of his mother, a piano teacher with the Nantucket Community Music Center. “Even from an early age, he connected to the most inner emotions of vocal music,” says NCMC Executive Director Barbara Elder. After picking up both the guitar and cello, Butler widened his musical range to singing by performing with the Nantucket High School chorus, directing the singing group the Cobbletones, and even spending time studying music in Florence, Italy, and at the New England Conservatory. Here on the island, he has collaborated with other local artists and recently debuted his first album, More to Offer, which was co-produced by Butler, Nick Ferrantella and Victor Ferrantella of Garden Rock Studios. “There’s been a lot of locally based artists involved, as well as collaborations from musicians around the country,” he says. “It’s uncommon for two painters to paint on the same canvas, but it’s totally common for two musicians to play on the same track.” At press time, a number of Butler’s tracks were being considered for cinematic and commercial use. Until you hear him on the big screen, you can enjoy Jacob Butler’s music here on the island at Kitty Murtagh’s, Cisco Brewery and N magazine

Nantucket summer resident Dr. Marc Garnick owns some of the world’s rarest rowing shells. For forty-six years, thousands have gathered on the banks of Boston’s Charles River for the largest rowing regatta in the world. Amongst the crowds in the fall of 1983 was Nantucket summer resident Dr. Marc Garnick, who found himself completely transfixed by the agony and ecstasy of this grand rowing spectacle. Witnessing his first Head of the Charles sparked a lifelong passion for rowing in Garnick that continues here on Nantucket in a unique way. Now in his mid-sixties, Garnick is up at dawn launching one of his many rowing sculls into the glassy calm waters of Polpis Harbor. Except for the herons and kingfishers, he has the place to himself. But Garnick isn’t entering the water with just any old kind of boat. Since witnessing his first regatta, he he owns a double scull built by the greatest wooden boat builder of all time, George Pocock.

Garnick has become accustomed to the fact

the Boat, “Competitive rowing is an under-

taking of extraordinary beauty preceded by brutal punishment. Unlike most sports, which draw primarily on particular muscle groups, rowing makes heavy and repeated use of virtually every muscle in the body.” Nevertheless, Marc Garnick enjoys the challenge and gushes far more about the joys of rowing than the trials. He is rewarded by the beauty of Nantucket as few people are, seeing it adorned with kingfishers, egrets, new morning light, rising moons, and bulbous jellyfish. There’s also a feeling that’s difficult to describe, like a runner’s high. Rowers call it “the swing,” in which they are so in tune with the rhythm of their stroke and overcome with the beauty of moving through the water that their effort is replaced with ecstasy. As George Pocock himself once said, “It’s a great art, is rowing. It’s the finest art there is. It’s a symphony of motion. And when you’re rowing well, why it’s nearing perfection. And when you near perfection, you’re touching the Divine. It touches the you of yous. Which is your soul.”
