The Evolution of Dry Eye Treatment

Medical technology is evolving rapidly. At ACK Eye, we work diligently to evaluate developing technologies in eyecare that might have potential benefit to our island community. Investing in beneficial technologies is a primary reason ACK Eye is able to offer eyecare of preeminent quality. Early diagnosis of disease, expanded treatment options, the ability to monitor clinical outcomes, and implementation of improved clinical protocol are all secondary benefits of technological advancement. We love our island community, and will continue to improve eyecare for it. It's our vision. For your sight. Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) is one of the most common factors in patients who experience dryness, burning, stinging, and other eye irritations. Over time, the Meibomian glands inside our eyelids can become congested and lose their ability to emit the oil they produce. If the oil layer is deficient, our tears evaporate rapidly leading to symptoms of dryness and irritation, potentially damaging the eyes. LipiFlow treatment clears the congestion from the glands, allowing the oil flow to improve, which helps to stabilize the tear layers, improving symptoms, and reducing further progressive damage. LipiFlow treatment takes less than fifteen minutes, and the benefit can last up to a year. LipiFlow treatment presents a momentous advancement, and ACK Eye is proud to add LipiScan and LipiFlow to our armament of treatment options in the battle against the underlying causes of dry eye disease.

Blasting things off, we proudly feature an exclusive interview with astronaut Drew Feustel, which was conducted while he was orbiting the Earth aboard the International Space Station. The risks astronauts take to their health and safety are very real and Drew Feustel is clearly an American hero. Feustel was married on Nantucket and is a frequent visitor to the island with his wife Indi and their children Ari and Aden. There is something indescribable about receiving a call on your cell phone from an astronaut as he flies some 250 miles above the Earth. In fact, while answering questions to our first intergalactic interview, Feustel was looking down on Nantucket from space. Our cover story features Congressman Joe Kennedy III, a young man on whom many democrats have pinned their hopes for the future. A bright, personable yet measured politician, Kennedy mirrors his famous forbearers in many ways while also charting his own course. Kennedy sat down with N Magazine for a broad-rang-

ate answer followed by a wide grin. No matter what your political persuasion, Kennedy is indeed impressive and is devoting his career to public service. On a more local front, there are those who work behind the scenes to improve life on the island. One great example is Dr. Rocco Monto who is the resident orthopedic surgeon at the Nantucket Cottage Hospital. Dr. Monto chose to be on the island because he viewed it as a place where he could make the most impact. In this issue, Dr. Monto shares the story behind his latest book The Fountain in which he claims to have discovered the secrets to making sixty the new thirty. Another person who has his eye on the health of Nantucket is ophthalmologist Dr. Mike Ruby of ACK Eye. Although most see his practice while driving on Old

South Road everyday, few people know that Dr. Ruby is a serious fly fisherman. When not focusing on his patients, he can be found on the flats fishing for stripers. One of the biggest curiosities about Nantucket is who actually lives here. How many people actually live here and how many people visit? In collaboration with ReMain Nantucket, Alan Worden set out to find an answer. Using sophisticated data collection, Worden can tell you how many people are on the island on an hourly basis, where they are from, which beach they like to go to, and a wide range of statistics that are almost mind-boggling. Worden will be presenting his initial findings at a ticketed event at the Dreamland Theater this month. As we celebrate our nation’s birthday, we salute all of those who make our island and our country a better place. From astronauts in space to doctors here at home to those in public service and everyone in between, have a happy Fourth of July!

TEEING OFF

WHOA PRO

Fisherman Elliot Sudal of @acksharks is hooking more than just sharks on Nantucket. Recently, photos of his beach bod caught the attention of People magazine who declared the viral fishing sensation the “World’s Sexiest Shark Wrangler.” However, the national attention did land Sudal in a little bit of hot water due to his claims to be tagging sharks for scientific research on behalf of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In the wake of the People magazine attention, NOAA released a statement saying that they have concerns over his shark wrangling practices. Luckily for Sudal, his popular photos and attention-grabbing physique may be all he needs to continue landing clients on the beach.

A story in The Boston Globe triggered a flood of comments online last month after the paper reported on a legal dispute between The Nantucket Land Bank and summer resident David Long, the CEO of Liberty Mutual, who is protesting the proposed construction of a dormitory on Miacomet Golf Course for its seasonal employees. The story introduced Nantucket’s complex housing crisis to readers on the mainland. Many were outraged by some of the living conditions the article described and found Long’s position a classic case of NIMBYism. We’ll have to just wait and see when this matter tees off in court.

Sometimes all you need is a second pair of eyes (and an expertly trained wilderness guide) to find what you’re looking for. Recently, local surf guru Gary Kohner of @nantucketsurfing lost his GoPro at Cisco Beach. In a surprising (and happy) turn of events, Peter Brace from @nantucketwalkabout recovered the lost camera fortyeight hours later, all the way down at Smith’s Point. @NantucketSurfing thanked Peter on their Instagram, saying they were “stoked” to have the camera back. Sounds like a pretty swell example of Nantucket’s close community.

NBUZZ HISTORY BY

DESIGN

Next month, the Nantucket Historical Association will kick off the high-season in style with the annual Nantucket by Design. Beginning on August 1st, the NHA will offer riveting lectures, panel discussions, and intimate gatherings that will explore the unique influences on American design. One of those influences is David Kleinberg of David Kleinberg Design Associates who will serve as this year’s keynote speaker. During a champagne reception on August 2nd at the White Elephant, Kleinberg will be breaking down his design philosophy in a discussion moderated by editor-in-chief of House Beautiful, Sophie Donelson. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit NHA.org.

TICK TICK BOOM

A recent Boston Globe article confirmed what Nantucket residents already knew to be true: tick-borne diseases are becoming an increasingly large problem on the island. In fact, the Globe stated that “federal figures compiled over a five-year period show that the highest average annual per capita rate for Lyme disease in the United States was in Nantucket County, with 501 confirmed and probable cases for each 100,000 residents from 2010 to 2015.” Luckily for island outdoor-lovers, Dr. Tim Lepore of Nantucket Cottage Hospital is one of the foremost experts in the field of tick-borne disease research, and provides extensive tick information on the hospital’s website. He warns that Lyme disease is not the only disease for hikers to be aware of; Babesia, Anaplasmosis, and Borrelia Miyamotoi should also be concerns. However, he says that a tick has to be on you for “24-30 hours to transmit one of these diseases,” and recommends regular tick checks as a means of disease prevention. As we head into the thick of summer, remember to cover up, use bug spray, and avoid those pesky pests for happy hiking.

LIVING LEGEND

Feeling old is not something that resonates with Tao Porchon-Lynch. The ninety-nine-year-old yoga master is coming to the Nantucket Yoga Festival this July 6 - 8 to impart her many years of spiritual wisdom, and perhaps divulge her secrets to the fountain

N magazine

of youth. Porchon-Lynch first learned yoga during her childhood in India, eventually studying under

Swami Prabhavananda, B.K.S. Iyengar, and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, famed guru to the Beatles. The Guinness World Record holder for being the oldest living yoga teacher (and the oldest competitive ballroom dancer), Porchon-Lynch still teaches six to eight classes a week in New York and will be teaching “The Eternal Energy of Yoga: A Master Yoga Class” at the festival this year. With her 100th birthday approaching on August 13th, this living legend is proof that every inch of life can be stretched beyond your years.

NTERTAINMENT

NEED TO READ NANTUCKET’S BELOVED BOOKWORM TIM EHRENBERG SHARES HIS TOP SIX PICKS FOR SUMMER

Summer Reading. Let’s face it. A Nantucket summer is busy, and we are all searching for entertaining reads that keep our attention at the beach, at the pool, or on our work breaks. Here are six titles for July that will make you skip the beach to stay in bed, call into work and keep you Ntertained!

THE WORD IS MURDER BY ANTHONY HOROWITZ Anthony Horowitz has perfectly reinvented the British mystery. Think Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, or Sherlock Holmes, but with a contemporary style. With twists and turns, it even stars a fictional version of the author himself. It’s a classic crime story for the modern reader. Every time I thought I knew where this story was going, I was wrong. Spread the word and The Word is Murder!

US AGAINST YOU BY FREDRIK BACKMAN When I heard there was to be a sequel to Beartown, I begged for an advanced copy from the publisher. I am not surprised to say that Backman scores another winning goal with Us Against You. Most everyone will be able to relate to one of the flawed characters or the real-life situations in its pages. Backman’s sentences engage and passionately make you a key player in this affecting story. The book is about EVERYTHING! It’s about politics, marriage, parenthood, growing up, growing old, identity, sports, friendship, crime, illness, intolerance, abuse, love, hate and community. It’s a metaphor for America today and that “us vs. you” mentality rampant in our states. It is about things that make life worth living, people worth loving and books worth reading. This story entertains, teaches and changes you. It’s rare for a sequel to surpass the original, but I think we might have that here.

THE HIGH SEASON BY JUDY BLUNDEL I love first lines in novels. Author Judy Blundell begins her highly anticipated beach read with, “Every summer Ruthie gave away her house by the sea.” That simple sentence holds so much intrigue that I could barely wait to keep reading. Filled with human drama that is insightful, humorous and very real, this should be in everybody’s beach bag and beach house this season.

CALYPSO BY DAVID SEDARIS David Sedaris returns with his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious book. Described on the back cover as “beach reading for people who detest beaches, required reading for those who loathe small talk, and possibly his very best book yet.” We all need a good laugh now and then and we all should take ourselves a little less seriously. A David Sedaris book is just the ticket. Speaking of tickets, David Sedaris will be back on Nantucket August 7th at 8 p.m. with all new readings at the Mary P. Walker Auditorium.

THE PERFECT COUPLE BY ELIN HILDERBRAND Elin Hilderbrand, our “Queen of the Beach Read,” returns with an island murder mystery at a Nantucket summer wedding. Elin’s style perfectly fits with a mystery type of story. Her sense of place, her characters and her love of Nantucket Island are all in attendance at these Nantucket nuptials turned crime scene. Call it a beach read, call it a summer on Nantucket.

SEA MYST A LIVING ROOM DESIGNED BY KATHLEEN HAY DESIGN

Sophisticated. Organic. Fresh. Hip. Sea Myst lives up to its design mandate: Create a house with an open plan in which a blended family can gather in luxurious comfort. The house is a subtle ode to its nautical setting. The interior is a symphony of neutrals whose luscious textures excite the senses. Added unexpected elements, like the champagne cork stools, bring a sense of whimsy and visual interest. The ample indoor and outdoor living areas allow for seamless entertaining of groups large and small with a living room that opens onto the adjacent terrace and pool beyond. We divided the large space into three distinct areas to allow for entertaining on different scales, and filled it with furnishings and objects that give nod to the beachy location. On any given summer evening, the house is abuzz with guests sharing food, wine and stories while admiring the view of the sea beyond.

Met on Main is serving up something delightfully Saltie this summer

ipping a crisp glass of rosé on Met on Main’s intimate back patio, owner Kathy Sidell feels right at home. She’s owned this

restaurant on 38 Main Street for six years now, but her history in this space stretches much farther back than that. “This is actually where I got my first job,” N magazine

says Sidell, who has summered on Nantucket her

whole life. “Back then, it was the Sweet Shop and I used to work the ice cream window.” From that ice cream window, Kathy Sidell went on to launch a number of smash hit restaurants. Now she’s reinventing her recipe once more here at Met on Main.

Met on Main owner Kathy Sidell enjoying her intimate back patio.

From now until Labor Day at Met on Main, Sidell is offering the wildly popular seafood menu that she and Chef Kyle McClelland crafted in her small Back Bay restaurant, Saltie Girl. “It’s a concept within a concept,” says Sidell. “Breakfast and lunch is the Met menu and then at dinner the restaurant transforms into Bar Saltie—the sister to Saltie Girl in Boston.” Bar Saltie boasts one of the island’s most robust seafood selections. The raw bar display is packed to the gills with live Jonah crabs, king crab claws, head-on prawns, mahogany clams from Maine, live razor clams from Ipswich, poached lobster, live sea scallops, littlenecks, oysters, and even scorpion fish from New Zealand. “We want to set ourselves out a little bit different from everyone else,” says Chef McClelland. “When in season, anything I can get from the island I will— mussels from Tuckernuck, oysters from Wauwinet, local black

And for those not in the mood for seafood, there’s also perfectly executed steak tartar and steak frites as well as some vegetarian options. “The objective is to make sure every dish is as good as the seafood, which is perfect,” Sidell says. Whereas diners wait for hours to score a spot at Saltie Girl in Boston, Met’s long bar, restaurant and gorgeous patio are making this highly-curated Saltie Girl menu far more accessible. Beyond the menu, when the sun sets, Met on Main slips into a sexy, hip vibe that goes well with Bar Saltie’s signature caviar martini. The rest of the drink list is ingredient-driven—orange, apricot, rhubarb, grapefruit, pineapple and prickly pear—served with top-shelf spirits in fun vessels, with some available for sharing. Come the following morning, Met on Main’s patio offers one of the cushiest brunch destinations on Nantucket. Guests lounge and sip mimosas and bloody marys over orders of French rolled omelets and fried lobster over waffles. Meanwhile, inside, the 20 seat bar featuring four flat screens is an ideal spot to catch a midday Red Sox game over homerun lunch options like the legendary Back Bay chopped salad or brick chicken. same passion that Kathy Sidell first found working the ice cream window here all those years ago. She’s driven by a love of the island and wants to see to it that this space on Main Street works its way into the fond memories of her guests.

COME HELI OR HIGH WATER WRITTEN BY ROBERT COCUZZO PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEROME DEULIN / AIRBUS HELICOPTERS

Boston MedFlight remains Nantucket’s lifeline to emergency care on the mainland

“Boston MedFlight transports over 4,100 patients a year, including around three hundred from Nantucket alone.”

N magazine

— Tom Hurder

ater this year, the Nantucket Cottage Hospital will open the doors to a brand new, cutting-edge medical facility that will dramatically enhance

patient care on the island and be tailor made to meeting the complex challenges of delivering treatment thirty miles out to sea. While the hospital and its caregivers are equipped to treat nearly all medical emergencies on the island, there are still extreme situations that require calling in reinforcements. For that, the Nantucket Cottage Hospital radios in Boston MedFlight (BMF). Just about anyone who lives on Nantucket knows the ominous womp womp womp of the MedFlight helicopter pounding overhead as it comes in for a landing on the helipad on 57 Prospect Street. That thudding of helicopter blades usually indicates that a member of the Nantucket community is in a dire situation. During the summer months, an average of one patient per day is flown off the island by MedFlight. Despite this critical role, most people might be unaware that this emergency transport service is actually an independent nonprofit that depends on the generosity of donors to stay soaring. “Boston MedFlight transports over 4,100 patients

a year, including around three hundred from Nantucket alone,” indicates BMF’s Tom Hurder. “And because we never deny service to patients in need due to a lack of insurance or inability to pay, we provide over $500,000 a year in free and unreimbursed care just to Nantucket patients.” Two years ago, only 13% of patients from Nantucket Cottage Hospital had to pay for this vital transport, which costs around $2,000 a flight. Of course, the care MedFlight’s veteran critical-care nurses and EMTs keep patients stable on the hour-long flight to the life-saving care of Massachusetts General Hospital.

The end Worden envisions extends to putting data behind pressing questions. For instance, he has provided data to Nantucket Memorial Airport indicating which new flight routes would be most successful. He believes the data could be used to staff local businesses more strategically and make ordering retail inventory more economical. On the municipal level, just having an accurate population census would prove critical in redeveloping the sewer plan. Given that his Nantucket Data Platform is still in its infancy, Worden believes he’s only scratched the surface of what’s possible with this resource. “According to some people, data deliver to Wendy Schmidt and ReMain the first version of a paper that begins to answer the question of who we are as a community. The ticketed event will be open to the public. Until that time, Warden is playing his numbers close to the vest.

HOW CUTTING-EDGE LASER TECHNOLOGY IS PRESERVING NANTUCKET HISTORY You’ve probably seen them around town. They comb the island in Florida Gators caps and T-shirts, wielding high-tech devices on tripods, ghost-white spheres and drones worthy of the starship Enterprise. These curious bands of students are affiliated with the University of Florida and are using the latest laser-scanning technology to build a virtual model of Nantucket that could have a big impact on the future of the island. Through UF’s research- and teachingfocused Preservation Institute Nantucket (PIN), every summer for forty-six years, aspiring preservationists from around the globe have used Nantucket as a living laboratory, measuring, photographing, and drawing historic architecture and heritage sites. “The island has become a global case study,” says Morris Hylton III, who directs the University of Florida’s Historic Preservation Program in Gainesville. At an international conference in India last December, attendees were abuzz about ied sites on the planet.

ervationists scrambling to laser-scan ancient buddhas and Roman-era temples before they’re destroyed. Hylton and UF have documented sites from Myanmar to Miami. But the core of the program has always been Nantucket. A digital model of the waterfront, for instance, enables 3-D visualization of flooding, storm surge and sea-level rise. In light of recent winter floods, these models are invaluable tools for vulnerability assessments and adaptation strategies, says Hylton. A video animation of the virtual recreation of the Greek Revival mansion built by whaling merchant William Hadwen, for instance, floats the viewer through rooms with visible details as precise as delicately patterned wallpaper, gold-filigree picture frames and carved swirls within the crown molding.

Using sophisticated laser-imaging technology, Envision Nantucket not only records historical structures and streets down to the millimeter, but also creates simulations for rising sea level, as seen above.

“We’re trying to convince people that if you retain these historic elements— original plaster, wonderful woodwork, old floors—you actually are increasing the value of your building. It’s not just generic. It’s a special place.” — Michael May, Executive Director of the Nantucket Preservation Trust

Morris Hylton III directs the University of Florida’s Historic Preservation Program in Gainesville.

The notion of capturing elements of Nantucket’s charm like a beetle in amber originated with businessman and philanthropist Walter Beinecke Jr. In 1969, Beinecke, who would be credited with reviving Nantucket’s then-decaying waterfront, met F. Blair Reeves, a UF architecture professor working with a federal historic preservation program. At Beinecke’s urging, Reeves returned to the island with students, launching what would become the nation’s oldest continuously operating field school for historic preservation.

a whole new level,” he says. “I started getting really into fitness and nutrition, and after being promoted to Special Forces, I started leading my squad’s training sessions.” Although he enjoyed his budding police career, Small desperately missed his girlfriend on Nantucket. Then came a phone call that would change everything. Elahi’s mother phoned Small to tell him that she was in the hospital with brain inflammation that doctors thought could be cancer. Small dropped everything and told his commanding officer that he had to go be by her side. “It wasn’t even a conscious decision to go to her—I just went,” Small remembers. “I flew out, got to her and said ‘I’m never leaving you again.’” True to his word, Small proposed to Elahi after she made a full recovery. The two were married in 2015 at

The Wauwinet, where they had met seven years earlier.

It was through Anita’s strong encouragement that Small signed up for his first bodybuilding competition. Without any formal training, he came in fifth. “I did pretty well, but I knew I could do better,” he says. He trained and trained, then in his next competition he came in third. Still he knew he could do better. “I ate a clean and carefully prepared diet while completing a variety of intensive workouts over the course of the next several months,” he says. “I signed up for an OCB pro-qualifier competition held this spring.” Small won three of his classes amidst the strong competition, officially propelling him to the pro level.

“I am looking forward to competing in professional shows later this year as I begin my journey as a pro athlete while also representing Nantucket,” Small says. Firmly in his corner is his wife Anita, who has taken on the role of his manager, pushing his training and helping him organize his competition schedule. To supplement his career, Small trains clients at the Great Harbor Yacht Club and Nantucket Community School. “I’m motivated by bringing my clients to the next level,” he says. “My mantra is that I’m limitless—and so are you.” So while Jason Small might be a world away from that backyard gym where he lifted his first weights, the same core lessons he learned from his father are being passed on to his clients here sional stage.

Historic Architecture… Originally built in the 1830s by the famed whaling Captain Charles Grant, 54 Orange Street is the epitome of timeless Nantucket style and one of the best examples of Greek revival architecture on Nantucket. The 1800’s was a time of great prosperity on the island and the center of international trade in a cosmopolitan community. Oil from sperm whales was the gold of the time and after 56 years at sea, Captain Charles Grant brought home more barrels than any other Nantucket whaling captain, and his home is proof of that. Many distinctive and original details are still intact today, making this home truly unique. From the fireplaces carved with New Zealand marble, ionic columns, pediment entry, rose corners and an ivory mortgage button on the stairs’ newel, this home is a historic memento to the 19th century. Today, the six-bedroom, five bath home boasts grand living spaces, large sun-drenched windows, gorgeous wide plank floors and exquisite trim details. From three spacious porches perched over the lush backyard, enjoy stunning Harbor and Town views. Travel back in time and own a piece of Nantucket history with this rare, generational home in a prime Downtown location.

…vs. Contemporary Architecture on Nantucket The ultimate west end escape, Madaket is the perfect location for those who love life on the water. This laid-back area is known for its unforgettable sunsets, pristine beaches and top of the line fishing. Approximately six miles from Town, Madaket offers sandy trails, flowering moors and miles of coastline. There’s no better way to experience life in Madaket than at 39 Tennessee Avenue, the quintessential island getaway. This spectacular six-bedroom property offers sweeping creek and ocean views, seamless indoor and outdoor spaces and a private dock. If you’re a boater or a fisherman you’ll love cruising through Hither Creek, where some of the first stripers of the season can be found, or making your way around Jackson Point towards the Bonito Bar, a must for experienced anglers. If the beach is more your speed, you are just a short distance from Madaket Beach and Smith’s Point, or enjoy a quick boat ride to Tuckernuck Island. This remarkable home has something for everyone. With three floors of living spaces, an expansive yard, a separate studio and a fire pit, this is a unique Nantucket experience that is not easy to replicate.

HOW THE ISLANDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ONLY FULL-TIME, YEAR-ROUND EYE DOCTOR GOT HOOKED ON NANTUCKET

wenty years ago, Dr. Mike Ruby was juggling a demanding career as an eye doctor in Boston, when a friend invited him on a weekend

fishing trip on Nantucket. Originally from upstate New York, Ruby had never been to the island and welcomed the trip as a rare respite from the rigors of seeing up to sixty patients a day, six days a week in the city. Catching bluefish off the South Shore that weekend, Dr. Ruby got hooked on Nantucket for life.

The sunny and inviting space has a full optical boutique as well as examination rooms where state-of-the-art technology allows him to treat patients with all levels of nonsurgical eye care. “I would love to make more time for fishing,” says Ruby, who originally intended on having a dual career as an eye doctor and fishing guide on the island, “but in the last eight years I have put everything into the growth of this practice.” He pulls a framed photograph off his credenza. In it, he’s standing over a four-hundred-pound tuna that he fought for hours to bring to the boat. Ruby

JOE KENNEDY III INTERVIEW BY BRUCE A. PERCELAY

PHOTOGRAPHY BY KIT NOBLE

Massachusetts Representative JOE KENNEDY III shares his thoughts on the country, his family and the question everybody keeps asking him

oseph P. Kennedy III is the son of former Congressman Joe Kennedy and grandson to the late Robert Kennedy. Grounded, approachable, yet measured, Kennedy lacks the airs one might

expect from the product of arguably Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous political dynasty. Despite his uncanny physical resemblance to his forbearers, Kennedy appears to be his own man, charting his own course. Time will tell where his future will lead, but he is clearly one of the brightest lights in the Democratic party and a person to watch. N Magazine sat down with Kennedy who shared with us

KENNEDY: All of that came as a surprise to me. I immediately said yes but also immediately swallowed a bit hard because I recognized that it is a difficult speech to give. The speech is a difficult forum. You’re never going to match the environment of the House Chamber with the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, the diplomatic corps and all that. Rather than give a speech from an office in Washington, we were able to do it at a regional vocational school in Massachusetts.

MAN INTERVIEW BY BRUCE A. PERCELAY

PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF NASA & DREW FEUSTEL

An out-of-this-world interview with NASA astronaut DREW FEUSTEL

Drew Feustel is currently orbiting the earth as a part of a six-month mission aboard the International Space Station. Best known for fixing the Hubble telescope nine years ago, Feustel is chief mechanic on this mission. His work is both incredibly complex and potentially hazardous to his health. Astronauts are bombarded with high levels of radiation over long periods of time, often suffer from vision changes resulting from the effect of weightlessness on the retina, and experience significant risk during takeoff, re-entry and space walks. Despite these perils, Feustel considers his work an enormous opportunity and joins an elite club of those who explore space. When heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not in space, Feustel also loves being on Nantucket. He and his wife Indi were married on the island and have been frequent visitors ever since. They will be returning to the island for some rest and relaxation at some point after Feustel returns to Earth. But until then,

N MAGAZINE: You took off on March 21, 2018. Can you describe the physical sensation as you took off from the launch pad?

FEUSTEL: We launched from the Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on a Russian Soyuz rocket. Same launch pad used when Yuri Gagarin, the first human in space, blasted off in 1961. The sensation is incredible and also unnerving. You realize you have left the planet in a hurry and you hope the spacecraft knows the direction to space. There is considerable pressure on your chest and you can feel your face stretching a bit as you try to keep your mouth from hanging open from the g-loads. After several minutes of these launch forces, our breathing becomes labored. The entire process lasts just about nine minutes from blast off to floating in space. By the time we reach orbit we are traveling about 17,500 mph.

N MAGAZINE: How difficult is the docking process with the space station? FEUSTEL: Docking is a complex process, and we are trained to perform that task by hand if we experience any system problems. Fortunately, the spacecraft has the capability to dock automatically, as it did for our mission. So our only role is to closely monitor the systems and be ready for any off-nominal situations that may require manual overrides in order to complete the process. We rely on relative navigation (knowledge of position) between the two docking spacecraft (ISS and the capsule) to allow for perfect alignment for rendezvous and docking.

LOVIN’

The Boston Globe’s Love Letters advice columnist MEREDITH GOLDSTEIN answers love and relationship questions before appearing at the Dreamland on July 19th

decade ago, Meredith Goldstein pitched her editors at The Boston Globe about writing a local advice column that would focus on love and romantic

relationships in the city. Love Letters debuted on the Globe’s website and quickly drew a devoted flock of readers who shared their own pieces of advice to the questions that came in to Goldstein. Today, Love Letters is one of the most widely read columns in the Globe and has recently given way to a wildly popular podcast. This spring, Goldstein reflected on her career as an advice columnist in her memoir, Can’t Help Myself. On July 19th, she will appear on Nantucket as part of the Dreamland Theater’s Page-to-Stage series to talk about her journey and to answer whatever

pens before. You see, getting older is a relatively new thing, and we really aren’t that good at it. To be sure, modern medicine has done a great job helping us all live longer. Clean water, antibiotics and modern surgery have postponed the ultimate checkout time for most of us. The problem is that while lifespan has increased, our healthspan hasn’t kept pace.

Our parents, who worked their whole lives for a retirement they thought would be filled with joy and fulfillment, wither away while their frail bodies and minds disintegrate. They linger on while heart disease, hypertension, strokes, renal disease, diabetes, dementia and depression are more common than ever. Aging has become a disease. But it doesn’t have to be like this.

LACROSSE GLOBE WRITTEN BY ROBERT COCUZZO

NANTUCKETâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S JAMAICAN LACROSSE PLAYERS STEP ONTO THE WORLD STAGE THIS SUMMER. This July, the first-ever Jamaican national lacrosse team will compete in the World Championships held in Israel. While the team is made up primarily of players from around the United States with Jamaican heritage, six of the athletes actually started their lacrosse careers playing for the Nantucket Whalers. In fact, one of the six players is widely regarded as

akeem Lecky was born and raised in Jamaica until the age of eight when his mother moved him to Nantucket. He’d never heard of

lacrosse and played football and basketball for the Whalers. Running back punts for touchdowns, Lecky’s astounding athleticism caught the attention of Nantucket high school’s lacrosse coach, Kevin Martin. That spring, Coach Martin put a lacrosse stick in Lecky’s hands. In his very first game, he scored four goals and racked up a handful of assists. So it was that a lacrosse prodigy was born. But as his fledgling lacrosse career was taking off, Lecky’s home life hit some rough patches. His mother left the island, leaving him to live with one of his high school friends. When that friend’s family decided to move back to their native Brazil, Lecky’s life was hurled back in limbo. That’s when Coach Kevin Martin, then only twenty-five years old, decided to take Lecky in and beBorn in Jamaica and raised on Nantucket, Hakeem Lecky (seen above and far left) played for Syracuse University, where he earned a masters before playing professionally for the Long Island Lizards.

(Top) Delroy Lawrence and Mark Dwyer practicing on Nantucket. (Bottom) Matthew Meritt playing for District Colombia Firebirds.

Both played at elite collegiate lacrosse programs after high school and are now relishing in the opportunity to get back on the field and represent their native Jamaica. “I think this team coming together is opening the opportunities for Jamaicans to learn from the creators of the game,” says thirty-year-old Mark Dwyer, who helps coach youth lacrosse on the island. “It’s adding another sporting outlet for Jamaica to compete worldwide, which will help spread the culture and also continue to grow the game.”

Rounding out Jamaica’s squad from Nantucket is Bryan Depass, a twenty-two-old midfielder who currently plays for

Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina as well as Matthew Marrett, a thirty-year-old who was the captain of the University of the District of Columbia Firebirds and today coaches at MadLax Sports in Washington D.C. “Lacrosse has given me so many opportunities to better myself,” Marrett says. “Lacrosse has given me the opportunity to go to college, receive my degree, play the sport that I love, meet amazing people along the way, and has given me a chance to play with the Jamaican National Lacrosse team…I feel grateful to even play this sport.” Appropriately enough, this Nantucket contingent will be led on to the world stage by the man who first put a lacrosse stick in their hands—Coach Kevin Martin. “It’s not like some ragtag group,” says Martin, who now lives in the Florida Keys where he runs an elite club lacrosse program called Sweet Lax. “There are some great players on the team. They have an All-American from guy who played at Michigan. So it’s a pretty good team, if they come together.”

lthough he doesn’t say as much, Martin must be most excited to see his Nantucket players take the field. Back when he started coaching them, no one believed these Jamaican

players would pick up the sport and run with it as they have. No one, except Kevin Martin, of course. “When I gave a stick to Mark, Delroy, Hakeem, Matthew, and some of the other African American kids that weren’t Jamaican, the big thing people were saying to them was ‘black guys don’t play lacrosse,’” remembers the coach. “They told them, ‘You’ll never make it playing lacrosse. You have no future in lacrosse…’ Now, we’re getting the last laugh.”

Beginning on July 11th, the Jamaican La-

crosse Team will arrive in Netanya, Israel along with forty-eight other teams from around the world. Their first game is against the host nation on July 12th. “If Canada doesn’t go, Jamaica should be in a fight for

a medal,” says Coach Martin, who will lead the team alongside head coach Errol Wilson and associate head coach Dale Walker. “If Canada goes, it will be them, USA, and Iroquois Nation as the top three medalist, then probably England, Israel and hopefully Jamaica battling for fourth. If one of those big guys doesn’t go, they’ll battle for the bronze, for sure.”

Beyond this year’s World Lacrosse Champi-

onships, some lacrosse writers are looking to the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles as setting up to be the debut of the sport in the Olympics. As the game continues to grow in Jamaica, chances are good that they’ll have an especially strong squad to wave the black, green and gold. “What makes me most happy is seeing the game of lacrosse spread across Jamaica,” says Hakeem Lecky. “My personal goal, beyond obviously representing team Jamaica the best that I can, is to see another

Dream On WRITTEN BY ROBERT COCUZZO

Marking its ten year anniversary this July, the (new) Dreamland continues to offer much more than meets the eye

NDEPTH

n the not so distant past, Nantucket’s youngest residents only knew The Dreamland as a shuttered, spooky building downtown that had played movies once upon a time. The family business,

which once thrived at its South Water Street location, struggled in the 1990s and eventually closed. The property had survived for more than one hundred years in various locations around downtown as a meeting house, a church, a roller skating rink, a hotel and more. By the early 2000s, the theater seemed destined to become yet another restaurant or high-priced condominium. But then, a group of civic-minded, well-heeled summer residents decided they wanted to prevent that from happening. They formed a nonprofit dedicated to rebuilding the Dreamland and making it the cultural arts cornerstone that it is today. On Sunday, July 22nd, The Dreamland will host a 10th anniversary celebration of this new chapter in
