Getting So Close

by Robert P. Barsanti I am trying to get my son to shave.

Ever since he was in seventh grade, he has grown a phenomenal beard; a dense thicket of wiry red bristles. After eight hours, a shadow appears. In two days, a low growth spreads across his jawline and chin. Five days in, the hair is too long for shaving by conventional means. At this point, I take a clipper to cut the tough stuff down to stubble, then shave him twice with a razor. Then I hope for a return to a hairless childhood.

Because my son is autistic, it is difficult to teach him to do this on his own. His beard doesn’t bother him. Because my son is autistic, he spends most of his weeks at school in central Massachusetts where they do their best, but can’t quite get it together to watch him shave once a day. Because my son is autistic, they can’t just point him to a bathroom with a can of Barbasol and a disposable Bic. I get him an electric razor with floating heads and funny buzzing sound, and I push for them to get him to shave. Sometimes they do.

More often than not, I pick him up on Friday and he has two weeks worth of heavy red beard over his jaw and a smile on his face. I leave a Hershey bar in the back seat and it is gone before we get out of the parking lot. He calls his mother. I have downloaded the latest superhero movie onto my iPad and he settles into that while head south on 495, cross the bridge, creep up Route 6 with the lawyers, doctors, and creatives, before three pieces of pizza and three milks at the mall, then the boat ride back to the island. He is nearly six feet tall and two hundred pounds of bearded man who will pace the deck in two/four time.

We have routines and habits. He gets Downyflake Donuts on Saturday morning and Sophie T’s Pizza on Saturday night. In the summer, we go to the beach so he can get battered by the waves. In the winter, we go to the pool. He stops by his mother’s shop for a roll and a Nectars lemonade. I subcontinued on page 27

Print Collaborative & Artist/Patron Exhibit This Week This Saturday, August 20, the Artists Association of Nantucket (AAN) is hosting their second annual Donn Russell Print Collaborative at their Visual Arts Center, 24 Amelia Drive. Free and open to all, this day of events will be held from 10 am to 3 pm.

The print collaborative provides printmakers (novice and experienced) and members of the public the opportunity to try their hands at a variety of printing techniques with all materials provided.

At 10:45 am, AAN member Miki Lovett, who received the Mixed Media Award in 2014, will give an artist talk as part of the Print Collaborative about the Solar Plate Etchings and marbled silk scarves she is showing as Spotlight Artist this week at the Nantucket's Artist/Patron Exhibit at AAN’s downtown gallery.

Donn Russell is a longtime AAN artist member, and an accomplished printmaker, painter, sculptor, along with being an actor, writer, and musician. “In the 70’s, Donn started working in graphic arts and printmaking, especially silkscreens or serigraphs, an obsession that would continue for the rest of his artistic career,� said AAN curator of exhibitions Robert Frazier. “He began continued on page 26

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

I’m going to let you in on a little island treasure. The Nantucket Field Station just may be one of the best-kept secrets on island. The sprawling 110 acres of the University of Massachusetts Boston Nantucket Field Station has a little bit of everything. There are exceptional bluff views, a secluded beach, scenic walking trails, majestic marshes, and a freshwater pond. I go here often for walks, swims, or to run my dog. Each time I head to 180 Polpis Road, there are typically very few people utilizing this peaceful place. It makes me feel like I am roaming through my own private estate. I wish!

The field station is a part of conservation land on the island, which will safeguard the property for the future. This will, thankfully, protect and preserve the wildlife and habitats within this area and continue to allow us access to enjoy its beauty. The UMass Field Station, purchased by the Nantucket Conservation Foundation, provides the island and the University with educational resources and research opportunities, as well as community service programs, all with a focus on studying coastal habitats and ecosystems.

On the property, there is also a laboratory, staff residency, dormitory, and an office that looks more like a beach shack.

Located near the Nantucket Shipwreck and Lifesaving Museum, the UMass Field Station is down a simple winding dirt road leading to two po-

Segregation on Nantucket

a Nantucket tradition. established 1982 1-1/2-HOUR TRIPS DEPART DAILY 10AM • 1PM • 4PM $45 PER PERSON

by Amy Jenness Despite its reputation as a 19th century antislavery stronghold, Nantucket’s first generations of European settlers owned slaves and the process of integrating the island has at times been a difficult one.

In 1659, nine English families purchased large portions of the island and came here to establish a town where no white people had ever lived. Although the founders invested in Nantucket as a business venture, the move also gave them some religious breathing space from the repressive Puritan Laws they lived under in the northern coastal Massachusetts. Nantucket, which belonged to New York state at the time, was free from the long reach of those laws.

In time the Quaker faith, which stresses equality for all despite race and gender, became the dominant religion on the island and Nantucket Friends (as Quakers are often called) were the first to denounce slavery around 1716.

In 1733 Elihu Coleman, a carpenter and Quaker minister, published, “A Testimony Against That Anti-Christian Practice Of Making Slaves of Men,” which refuted all pro-slavery rationales of the day.

But slavery remained a part of island life until the late 1700s. Nantucket’s successful white families purchased slaves and passed their ownership on as estate assets. Slowly, individual owners began to choose to give their slaves freedom. But a seminal lawsuit ended the practice for good in 1773.

Prince Boston was born into slavery on Nantucket in 1750. He was one of eight children born to Boston and Maria, African Americans owned by merchant William Swain. In 1760 Swain granted the parents their freedom, but stipulated the Boston children would serve as slaves until the age of 28. One

Association (MMA) bioThe Maria Mitchell logical collections’ oldest specimen is the Wood Fern (pictured above). Maria Louisa Owen, an expert in mosses and moss-like plants, collected this fern in 1879. This was during the height of “Pteridomania� – also known as the Victorian fern craze – which was sweeping across Europe and America.

Maria Mitchell, the first woman astronomer in the U.S., was alive during this craze and may have had a few fern-inspired decorations of her own. The fern mania of the 1800s was popular across gender, age, and social class. Ferns started appearing in and on dĂŠcor of many types including architectural design, papers, textiles, china and glassware, gravestones, greeting cards, and other decorative pieces. There are over twenty-five species of ferns in the MMA collection.

When you open the doors of the cabinets to the historical collections themselves, you are immersed in a floral aroma. With fauna spanning over 137 years ( 1879-2016), there is a variety of colors, textures, and smells hidden within the manila folders.

The biological collections at the MMA include more than 4,000 plants representing 1,223 species. The MMA’s herbarium (the plant collection) is one of the most used collections in the Science Museum. Researchers add specimens each year, visit the collection to check identifications, and even take small samples for genetic studies. Recent work involves genetic analysis with Queen Anne’s Lace and Spotted Knapweed. The Nantucket Conservation Foundation and the Linda Loring Nature Foundation are working together to update the list of all plant species on the island and any collected specimens are donated to the MMA. continued on page 13

by Jessica Taryn Daub Fresh tomatoes are a taste of summer sunshine, and the farms on Nantucket grow many varieties of delicious vine-ripened tomatoes: standard, heirloom, cherry, plum, and more! Our favorite way to partake is a tomato sandwich: thick, juicy slices sprinkled with sea salt and pepper between slices of freshly baked Portuguese Bread from The Nantucket Bake Shop (17-1/2 Old South Road) smeared with mayo. But here are five ideas for some fancier ways of preparing this lucious summer fruit.

at a time, each of Boston’s children passed into freedom throughout the 1760s and early 1770s.

In 1773, five years before his 28th birthday, Prince Boston made history by obtaining his freedom by going to court. Boston had help from prominent whaleship owner William Rotch and his success not only ended his slave status, it also awarded him back pay for his time as a working on one of Rotch’s whaleships. The after-effects of the lawsuit ended slavery on Nantucket for good.

Nantucket’s stance made it attractive to fugitive slaves and a confrontation between black and white islanders and a bounty hunter polarized the island in 1822. Arthur Cooper, was born a slave in Alexandria, Virginia in 1789.

Cooper, his wife Mary, and their children came to Nantucket in 1820.

Two years later bounty hunter Camillus Griffith arrived looking for the Cooper family, including Mary, who was a free woman. The Quaker community assisted the family by hiding them in different homes. Griffith brought the matter to court and Magistrate Alfred Folger ruled that the family could not be removed from Nantucket. Although Griffith left the island without the Coopers, he continued his pursuit through litigation on the mainland, but never succeeded.

Six-year-old Anna Gardner witnessed her parents hiding Arthur Cooper in their attic during the tumult and became an abolitionist on the spot. As a young girl Gardner taught at the African School, but quit in protest when her gifted student Eunice Ross was denied entrance to the all-white public high school. At age 25 Gardner helped organize an anti-slavery convention at the Nantucket Atheneum. At the convention, held in August of 1841, Frederick Douglass, a 23-year-old fugitive slave living in New Bedford, was urged to speak. Douglass rose and spoke haltingly, but eloquently, on the hardships and abuses of the slave system. That speech set him on a path that lead to international fame as an abolitionist, writer and orator. Douglass returned to speak at Nantucket anti-slavery conventions in 1842 and 1843.

Seneca Boston, Prince’s brother, married a Wampanoag woman named Thankful Micah one year after gaining his freedom. They named their first child Freeborn Boston. Fifteen years later they named their newest child Absalom Boston.

Absalom grew up to become a leader in the island’s African American community, as well as a successful businessman. As a young man he went whaling and had saved enough money by age 30 to open an inn catering to seamen. In 1822, Boston captained the whaleship Industry and lead an allblack crew on a historic six-month whaling voyage. When the Industry returned, Boston retired from the sea.

Boston helped found the African Meetinghouse in 1824, an all-purpose institution on the corner of York and Pleasant Streets which served as school, church and meetinghouse for the island’s New Guinea section. In 1846, after years of struggle to integrate the schools, Boston forced the town to allow his daughter to attend public high school and desegregated the islands schools.

By 1835 more than 500 African Americans lived on Nantucket, but they were segregated from whites in many ways, including education. In 1837 Eunice Ross was deemed qualified to attend high school, but was denied because of her race.

In 1842 pro-integration Quaker Nathaniel Barney convinced the school committee to integrate the public schools. But a town meeting vote reversed the decision the next day. In 1843 town meeting voters pass a law making it illegal to integrate the schools. The school committee, which now had a majority of pro-integration members, ignored the law and opened schools to students of any race. One year later, voters appointed a new school committee which separated the school system by race once again.

The parents of African American school children were outraged and refused to send their children back to the African school. In 1845 African American citizen Edward Pompey petitioned the state legislature to end school segregation. At the same time, a group of white Nantucketers petitioned the legislation to allow segregation. State lawmakers pass a law that year making school segregation illegal, but Nantucket voters choose to ignore it.

Finally, in 1846 Absalom Boston’s daughter Phebe Ann was deemed qualified to attend high school but denied based on her race. Her powerful father Absalom Boston threatened to sue the town. Faced with legal action, town meeting voters decided to create a pro-integration school committee and open the public schools to all island students. Eunice Ross, now in her twenties, joined Phebe Ann Boston as a student at Nantucket High School.

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

Follow the Yellow Brick Road More than 50 children ranging in age from 6 to 14 are reveling in the joy of performance as they follow the yellow brick road in the Children’s Theater production of the beloved family musical adventure The Wizard of Oz. These participants in The Dreamland’s Young Performers troup take audiences over the rainbow, through the twister, from adventure to adventure down the yellow brick road to the wonderful and merry old land of Oz to learn with Dorothy that no matter how exhilarating the journey may be, there is no place like home.

Well before the new structure that is the Dreamland’s Performing Arts Center was completed in 2010 this company of young actors was established.

The Wizard of Oz is Dreamland’s 16th major children’s production. Tiffany Gallo, Director of Theater Education for the Dreamland, describes the mission continued on page 29

“What is This?”

Vol. 46 No. 15 • Our 46th Season! from page 8

Next time you are out for a walk,take a scratch-and-sniff tour of Nantucket’s botany. The island is home to a variety of diverse plant species.

Listed below are some that will excite your olfactory senses.

Bayberry (Morella pensylvanica) is an upright shrub that grows from five to eight feet in height. The flowers bloom in early spring, and the female plants produce small greyish-blue fruit in the fall. The bayberry is a strong scented fruit that was originally a source of pleasant smelling wax candles for early settlers; the scent of the bayberry is still used in candle making today.

Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens), like the gum flavor, has a sweet and spicy mint smell. The plant is a creeper (growing low along the ground) with oval leaves which are a dark green with a glossy sheen. In the autumn, the leaves turn to red or bronze. The Slender fragrant Goldenrod, Euthamia caroliniana, is an herb that gives off a strong odor of paint thinner when the leaves are crushed. In the late summer and fall, yellow flowers cover the top of these plants. Other scents like Sassafras, which is spicy and fragrant, or Sweet fern are easy to find if your senses are turned on.

Nantucket is prodigious in its plant species – some invasive and others with healing properties. Transferred by bird excrement, or soil and human migration, many plants on Nantucket are non-native species. One of those is the Purple Loosestrife, or Lythrum salicaria, a purple perennial plant that grows in wetlands. One purple loosestrife plant can produce two million seeds annually, which are easily dispersed by water, livestock, people, and aquatic life. The invasion of the purple loosestrife in Nantucket wetlands often suppresses the plants native to the area and alters the wetland ecosystem; there is no effective method to control the spread of this invasive species.

Spotted jewelweed, Impatiens capensis, is a tall leafy plant with translucent stems and orange flowers with red splotches. The pods on the flowers explode and disperse seeds when touched – which explains their nickname: “touch-me-nots.” The spotted jewelweed grows in a variety of environments and contains properties that relieve the itchy symptoms of poison ivy.

Between invasive species and nature’s healing properties, Nantucket’s fauna has a lot to offer (including inspiration for Victorian art crazes and a variety of smells). “Nantucket is a great place to explore botany both for beginners and experts,” says Andrew Mckenna-Foster, Director of Natural Sciences at the MMA. “There are lots of berry producing plants and aromatic plants for novices and some species that are hard to find regionally, but common here for the seaWe Provide: soned botanist.”

The MMA was founded in 1902 to preserve the legacy of Maria Mitchell and to promote her belief in learningby-doing. An astronomer and natural scientist, as well as an educator, Maria Mitchell shot to worldwide fame when she discovered a comet in 1847. For her discovery, she was awarded a gold medal from the King of Denmark – the first American and first woman to receive the honor. She served as the Professor of Astronomy and Mathematics at Vassar College from 1865 until 1888.

Today, the MMA operates two observatories, a natural science museum, an aquarium, and the birthplace of Maria Mitchell. The MMA conducts scientific research, leads classes and workshops for people of all ages year-round, and welcomes thousands of visitors to its museums and observatories. For details, visit mariamitchell.org.

Mer’s Anchored Artists at Samuel Owen Gallery Nantucket is one of the most beautiful and picturesque places in the world. If there isn’t a scene fit for a painting in front of you now, you probably just have to turn your head. To most of us, though, painting is an art form left to the professionals. Now, thanks to Mer’s Anchored Artists, even the youngest people on the island can have a chance to excel.

The Samuel Owen Gallery of 46 Centre Street is teaming up with Meredith Hanson of Mer’s Anchored Artists this Thursday August 18 from 6 pm to 8 pm.

Come down to Centre Street for a fun showcase of Nantucket's youngest up-and-coming artists. Artists whose work is on display range from 6 to 18 years of age. Sign ups for Mer’s classes will also be available.

The class is designed and taught by Meredith Hanson for kids of all ages and all levels of experience.

Mer takes her students on multiple locations, from her own home and garden to some of the most sought after scenes on the island. Mer strives to inspire all of her students to find their own “inner artist.”

Lee Milazzo, owner of the Samuel Owen Gallery, actually named the gallery after his two boys, Samuel and Owen. He says, “Kids have such great creativity and they’re not hindered by anything. Their work is free, pure, and raw.” Since the gallery opened two years ago, Lee has wanted to feature artists from the island. “The island has long been a haven for artists, continued on page 15

this will give us an opportunity to start cultivating art at a very young age.”

Mer is an oil, acrylic, and gouache painter who studied Art and Art History at Wheaton College in Norton, MA. After graduating from Wheaton in 2011, Mer packed her bags and moved to Nantucket. With an eye for color and love for exploring, Mer has journeyed all over the island to find the best painting locations.

To begin the lesson, Mer introduces a tonal painting approach. Students pick from various transparent hues to begin their wash. Drawing skills are sharpened and structured in the first few stages of the painting. She teaches and guides her students through color mixing and how to “edit” a painting.

The paintings are done with acrylics, which are not only safe for students to use, they dry quickly so your artist will be able to bring home a finished and fabulous work of art.

exhibiting his works in local galleries, and eventually set up his own print gallery on Old South Wharf.”

“Donn is a legend in the Nantucket art world and especially known for his printmaking. We are thrilled to have him here for this great print collaborative. His talent and expertise is enormously important to AAN and we greatly appreciate his generosity and support of our print-making program,” said AAN adult education program director Mary Emery Lacoursiere.

A highlight of the day will be the steamroller printing. “Artists have been preparing for weeks for this great opportunity,” said Lacoursiere. “We have begun to build a long-section of hand-carved blocks, but we are counting on participants, on the day of the event, to add to the collection. Once the blocks are all inked-up and in placed on our driveway — a honest to goodness steamroller will come and drive over it. The images from the blocks will be captured on a long piece of fabric,” she added.

All ages are encouraged to attend and experience the art of printmaking.

In addition to opportunities for attendees to make prints and to witness the steamroller printing, visitors may choose a block to have a t-shirt made.

During the second annual Donn Russell Print Collaborative, Roamin’ Pizza and other refreshments will be available.

Also on exhibit this week at the Artists Association’s Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery, 19 Washington Street is their annual Artist/Patron Exhibition, on display through September 5.

“By tradition our artists bring in their strongest works for this special exhibition, which we consider one of the highpoints of our gallery season.

George Korn, this year’s juror, has a collector’s eye and has such an in-depth knowledge of island art work,” added Frazier. “He will select from works in oils, acrylics, watercolor, photography, mixed media, and ceramics for recognition or awards.”

For details about the Donn Russell Print Collaborative, as well as AAN’s new Visual Arts Center and the schedule of classes and public programs, visit the AAN website at Nantucketarts.org.

ject him to a shearing and a shave. Then, on Sunday, we go to the Toy Boat to say “hello” to Lauren and to look at the Legos; she writes him a post card every week. And then we go back to school.

This fall will be his fifth at the school. He is at the age when my students have visited a college or two and have started to think about where they would like to go and what they would like to be. They are getting ready for a soccer season when the scouts will come to see them. They are finishing up their first summer job. They have broken their first hearts. They are taking their driver’s tests. The kids who were in his play group and his elementary school classes are now walking into my classroom. They have Thoreau, Twain, and Melville lined up and ready for them. Rourke will not be in my classroom.

There are times when I think he could be. As long as he can listen to the works, he can keep up with any book he reads. His school leads him through most of the same books that he would be lead through on-island. He can type and he has, with help, written stories and essays. And then, I remember his beard.

The great frustration of having a child with autism rises from that hitch.

I spend enough time around him to know that somewhere deep inside his skull, there is combustion. You can hear the engine hum, but somehow, the gears can never quite mesh. He knows more about the Civil Rights fights of the fifties, sixties, and seventies than any of my current students. He can recite chapter and verse on the Marvel Superheroes, Greek Gods, and South Park episodes, but somehow he can’t put that knowledge to work for him.

As a parent, you see how it is just one thing missing. You see how tantalizingly close it is for him to put the clutch in and engage the gears. All it would take is one teacher, one therapy, one drug and…

My son does not want to make the varsity or make it into Harvard. He wants to go to Comic Con. He has given me a list of the costumes he wants to wear to Comic Con for the next twenty-five years. He wants to be Green Lantern, FDR, and Apollo. This year, he went as the Flash—the original Flash

August 18 - 24, 2016

with a red shirt (lightning bolt) blue shorts, and a metal mixing bowl for a helmet. I made him promise not to run through anyone. Somewhat shaved, and entirely happy, he went bopping through the convention space filled with five thousand other characters. Someone called Flash and high-fived him.

He climbed the air.

As always happens, we got separated. I waited at our rally point until it became painfully clear that he had completely forgotten about me and was rocking out to his own private Eddie Van Halen. Had he been someone else, I might have feared he was outside shooting up, or he had run off to a bar or a girl or a gang, or he had been led into a panel truck. In a thousand common ways, it might have been otherwise. But he remained in his own elliptical orbit in this strange galaxy. I found him by his metal helmet in front of the Thanos cardboard cutouts: “Oh, there you are, Dad.” Today, I am here and he is happy. There will be more pizza and more swimming and more weekends on Nantucket. But his beard will continue to grow and there will be a time when I won’t be there to trim it.

So, that is why I walk.

[Editor’s Note: Many islanders will join Robert for the Autism Speaks Walk on Nantucket this Saturday, August 20. Autism Speaks is the world’s leading autism science and advocacy organization. It is dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families. Since its inception in 2005, Autism Speaks has committed more than $570 million to its mission, the majority in science and medical research. Each year, Walk Now for Autism Speaks events are held in nearly 100 cities across North America. To donate to the Nantucket Walk, join them at Jetties Beach at 8:30 am this Saturday.]

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

What are those little brass torpedoes attached to long ropes? They are shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logs and were used by sailors to measure their speed under weigh at sea.

Ever since sailors first ventured out of sight of land, the simplest dead-reckoning navigation required skippers to judge how fast they were moving. The original simple solution was to toss an actual log overboard, attached to a line paid out with a knot tied at regular intervals: the sailor counted how many knots passed his hand over a measured time period. The resulting measurement came to be called a knot, or nautical mile per hour, later defined as the speed required to travel approximately one minute of geographical latitude in one hour.

By the 18th century, sailors began using Taffrail or Patent Logs, a sort of sea-going odometer with a gauge mounted on the Taffrail (on the stern) recorded speed based on distance traveled as measured by a rotating vane towed behind the vessel.

What about the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Logbook? By now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably guessed it started as a book used to record the log readings, but then evolved to include all weather and sailing observations, as well as mention of any noteworthy events during the voyage.

Vol. 46 No. 15 • Our 46th Season!

August 18 - 24, 2016

Featured Restaurant: Atlas BBQ & Fish House

An Exotic Journey Out of Town Brandt and Gabrielle Gould, owners of ATLAS, are what you’d call a power couple. Brandt is the executive chef and brings more than 25 years of management and culinary experience into the kitchen. Gabrielle comes from a family of restaurateurs and was formerly the bar manager at the 3-star New York restaurant Jean Georges. As of two years ago, after an 8-year hiatus from the restaurant industry, they are back on the map with ATLAS. ATLAS sits proudly at 130 Pleasant Street. Inside, the walls are a painted a beautiful burgundy-red, a sneak-peek into the restaurant’s fantastic wine list. The lighting is perfect, and the dining room is comfortable and spacious.

The bar has loads of seating and a lot of other things you might want, too.

The bottle and can beer list has something for everyone, and there are draft beers from near and far on a steady rotation, so be sure to ask your server. The spirits section of the menu is awesome and overwhelming all at once, and the bartender, David, knows how to put them all to work. We ordered a few of his choice cocktails to get us started.

The Pirates Paradise is made with Privateer rum, distilled just over on the mainland in Ipswich, Massachusetts. It combines house-made pineapple shrub with fresh lime and bitters. It’s oaky, smoky, with a nice kick of subtly sweet pineapple. Our second choice was Le Playa, a tequila-based cocktail made with Exotica Reposado, Cynar liqueur, fresh lime, and chili pepper. This libation manages to pull out all the flavors one would find in a fine Tequila and highlight them in harmony. Our favorite, though, was The Dorothy Stover. It’s a gin drink made with Beefeater, St. Germain, bitters, and fresh lime complete with a tableside Pirates Paradise, Le Playa, and IPA grapefruit foam. As they say at ATLAS, The Dorothy Stover it’s truly “TO DIE FOR!” ATLAS is so much more than dinner and drinks. There are DJ events every Saturday at 10 pm, and, better yet, there’s no cover charge. They also periodically host tasting dinners, or “Casual Encounters.” Watch for the upcoming event with Caledonia Spirits and their Barr Hill line of spirits, distilled from 100% pure Vermont honey.

Every dinner at ATLAS begins with warm, steamy, fresh baked bread, accompanied by olive oil and wild rose salt from Ambrosia for dipping. It’s

crusty, warm, dense, and the perfect way to begin a meal.

Everything that comes out of the kitchen is made from scratch daily. There are never any corners cut at ATLAS. Out of all the mouthwatering appetizer selections we were able to narrow it down. It was one of the hotter days in August so we started with the Tuna Tartare. Ruby-colored cubes of tuna sit atop fresh, green bib lettuce, drizzled with dynamite sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds.

It’s served with pickled ginger, soy sauce, and real wasabi mustard on Chinese Beef Short Rib Hot Pot the side. Fresh, cool, and delicious.

(Suggested pairing: Leeuwin Estate Australia Sauvignon Blanc) To contrast the tuna, we tried the Chinese Beef Short Rib Hot Pot. The broth is rich and savory with a slightly nutty nose, the beef had the perfect amount of fat and the noodles were a flawless al dente. Chili-heads rejoice because this one is on the spicy side! (Suggested pairing: Sunset Margarita w Ambrosia Hibiscus Infused Tequila) The Grilled Pizette came with the perfect blend of melted Fontina and Romano cheeses, along with bright and acidic cherry tomatoes that were the perfect compliment to the wild mushrooms. We like this appetizer for sharing — it makes a great bar snack. (Suggested pairing: Alagash White Beer) Our favorite starter was the Louisiana Wild Caught Prawns. The cook was dead on: crispy skin and sweet, tender meat. The garlic chili aioli was the perfect accompaniment. These are not a regular menu item and the season is coming to a close, so get them while you can! (Suggested pairing: The Dorothy Stover)

Vol. 46 No. 15 • Our 46th Season!

The menu options are incredibly diverse, and there are plenty of choices for the vegetarians among us. There are several side options to choose from to order with your entrée or just to have as a snack, all of which are meatfree. We went with the Grilled Crimini Mushrooms complete with a warm lemon vinagrette, and the house-made Bird Pepper Fermented Kimchi.

Both were delicious and paired well with our choice of entrées.

Speaking of entrées, our first choice was the Churrasco Skirt Steak.

The thinly sliced strip of beef was seasoned with garlic and red wine then grilled to absolute perfection. The char was just right and a Brazilian chimichuri sauce was the ideal topping. The steak was served with a chilled vegetable salad consisting of roasted broccoli rabe, cauliflower, and new potatoes. (Suggested pairing: BBC Drookit Scotch Ale) Next we had the Swordfish Nicoise, a variation on the dish traditionally made with tuna. The pan-roasted classic was served over wilted spinach with grilled French beans, creamy fingerling potatoes, medium-boiled local egg, topped with House Smoked Baby Back Ribs roasted tomatoes, olives, and a warm lemon vinaigrette. It’s the perfect meal for a summer by the sea. (Suggested pairing: NOLA Sour cogna, bitters, lime and vanilla) There’s no way we were going to skip the House Smoked Baby Back Ribs. The meat was fall off the bone and moist, smothered in house made ATLAS BBQ sauce. The ribs came with a tangy sesame slaw, a cheese biscuit, and perfectly simple rice and beans. (Suggested pairing: Daniel Cohn Cabernet) The winner of the evening, though, was the Pan Roasted Acadian Redfish. Served whole in all its glory, the meat was flaky and succulent, decked out with a smoked peach salsa. This dish was an absolute treat! Whole fish is a regular item on the menu at ATLAS, but the type of fish and the preparation varies. Call ahead to find out what’s being offered. (Suggested pairing: Paul Hobbs Chard)

With such delicious appetizers and entrees, we couldn’t possibly pass on dessert. Co-owner Gabrielle Gould honed her skills working with renowned pastry chef Johnny Luzzini, and lucky for us she brings her talent to the table at ATLAS. There are three options on the menu: Lavender Infused Chocolate Mousse, Vanilla Panna Cotta with Reduced Balsamic, and the Deconstructed Key Lime Pie “Cocktail.” The mousse came with fresh cream and was as smooth as can be. The panna cotta was cool and creamy and the balsamic reduction was eye opening. The deconstructed key lime pie was sweet and tart; the ultimate palate cleanser.

Lavender Infused Chocolate Mousse, Vanilla Panna Cotta, and Deconstructed Key Lime Pie “Cocktail” Drinks, dinner, and dessert were all flawless, and the service from our waitress, Shannon, was on point. Next time you plan to eat out, skip the downtown traffic and get yourself to ATLAS. Brandt and Gabrielle’s goal from the beginning was to create a place they would like to eat at. The best part is that you can, too.

tential parking lots. I usually drive down to the lot in front of the lab. The view looking over the salt marsh onto the harbor could take your breath away. There are always pure white cranes foraging for snacks in the marsh’s waters. That reminds me: in the winter, this is an excellent spot to spy snowy owls. Upon parking, continue to stroll down the dirt road past the staff housing, but take your time because there is a beautiful freshwater pond on the right. Once you’ve passed the pond there is a fork in the road. This is when you decide if you would like to venture on to the walking trails to the right or stroll along the harbor shore to the left.

If you are in the mood for a nature walk, then take the trails. Up a small hill you look out onto a field with well-manicured paths twisting several different ways. One path leads to the gorgeous bluff with a captivating harbor view. Another path takes you down toward the pond; home to Mallard ducks, Canada geese, and of course, plankton. At the edge of the path you will notice a large pole extending from the ground into the sky. This is not a telephone pole, but it is an osprey-nesting platform. As you ascend downhill along the shaded path, you are able to admire the various native and rare wildlife species that surround you. The path is narrow, but is wide enough for a jogging stroller. The trail does not feel consistent throughout your walk.

There are open areas and tree-covered brook crossing points that make it that much more intriguing to meander through. The path concludes along the dirt road leading you back toward your vehicle. Check for ticks and watch for poison ivy!

Now, if you are in a beach mood, turn left at the fork mentioned earlier and the salt marsh will lead you toward the harbor. There is a curved narrow strip of sand that you will most likely have all to yourself. Since this is the harbor, the water is typically shallow and calm, which my dog thoroughly enjoys. As the bluff erodes, you may be lucky enough to discover an arrowhead in the sand.

The University of Massachusetts Boston Nantucket Field Station is a wonderful place to take your family and admire the nature Nantucket has to offer.

This site is open to the public during the day and is free to explore. Respect the conservation land and enjoy your visit to this treasured location.

On This Day in Nantucket History

by Amy Jenness available at Mitchell’s Book Corner and The Whaling Museum Gift Shop Quirky & fascinating stories that shaped this island

Nantucket is much more than beautiful beaches and sailboats. One day at a time, author Amy Jenness offers up quirky and fascinating stories of the people and events that shaped this remote island. On August 11, 1841, Frederick Douglass made his first antislavery speech at the Nantucket Atheneum. The Great Fire of July 13, 1846, devastated the island, forcing residents to rebuild what they lost. On December 5, 1981, a nor’easter stranded nearly two thousand visitors and forced seventeen pilot whales to come ashore. Read a story a day or month at a time. Celebrate an entire year of Nantucket history. ON THIS DAY IN NANTUCKET HISTORY is available for sale at Mitchell’s Book Corner and the Whaling Museum Gift Shop.
