Comedy for a Cause Get to The Dreamland and laugh your ACK off because the 12th annual Nantucket Comedy Festival is about to begin.

The fun starts on Thursday, July 11 at 7 pm with a new show about the funnier side of relationships. “Love & Laughter” features Tom Cotter of America’s Got Talent and The Tonight Show, Kerri Louise from Showtime and Comedy Central, and Karen Morgan from Nick at Nite and the Gotham Comedy Club. The show will be hosted by long-time festival favorite Vic Henley.

All ages are welcome at 5 pm this Friday, July 12 as the islanders unite with another new show starring kids from Nantucket and kids from Martha’s Vineyard. All participants have been a part of the Festival’s Stand Up & LearnTM, non-profit, educational workshops designed to educate and inspire creativity in young people while helping them hone the skills essential to happiness, confidence, and success throughout their lives. Tried and true comedians will be there to lend a hand to these aspiring comedians.

“We are thrilled to present this new addition to the Nantucket Comedy Festival as kids “compete” in this fun, fast-moving celebration of the performing arts. Audiences will enjoy seeing Stand Up & Learn™ students perform their comedic routines as they build confidence and self-esteem by showcasing what they have learned from this rewarding educational program”, says Festival Executive Director Kevin Flynn.

Later on Friday, put the kids to bed and see Don Gavin’s “Legends of Comedy” at 7 pm. This Nantucket Comedy Festival show boasts a lineup of veterans like Cory Kahaney, Jack Gallagher, and Jimmy Shubert.

Rivalries roll into the weekend with Boston vs. New York Comedy SmACKdown. At 7 pm on Saturday, July 13, award winning sports journalist Bob Ley makes a comeback as host and referee of this timeless trial. Beantown’s own Dan Crohn, Kendra Cunningham, and Jimmy Dunn go head-to-

EYE ON STYLE:

Her Second Life as a Jewelry Designer

by Catherine Macallister When you walk into the bright and open gallery that belongs to Susan Lister Locke, you won’t be able to decide which view is better: the beautiful jewelry that lines the shelves and cabinets or the picturesque harbor view from the shop windows, where she draws inspiration for much of her work.

Each piece in her store is stunning: semi-precious stones, precious stones, gold, silver, white gold—she has it all.

A long-time resident of Nantucket and a shop owner for six years, Susan Lister Locke’s creativity takes many forms in each of her jewelry pieces.

Locke’s began creating jewelry at age 49; she did not even touch gems until the age of 55. “You can have another life,” she says, “you just never know.”

And that’s just what she has done. She has taken classes and attended workshops in the US and Italy, cultivating her skills as a jeweler. Each piece combines sculptural elements and organic work and is uniquely hers through methods like the lost wax process, enamel-work or shaping, pounding, and forming metals.

As she showed me pins, necklaces, and ornate cuffs, she shared her thoughts on jewelry: “jewelry shouldn’t be serious…it should be pretty, comfortable, and unlike anybody else’s.” A nd the key to her jewelry that can set it apart is its ability to be worn and not kept hidden away. Whether you prefer a delicate complement to your outfit, like diamond earrings in the shape of Nantucket or one of her more colorful necklaces, you will undoubtedly find something that suits your needs at her gallery. Beyond the pieces she creates as part of her general collections, she also offers to make new pieces from “recycled” jewels and metals. “All jewelry has a story, it doesn’t matter what continued on page 15

Two days ago, we cancelled a beach party. We had one of those days that only happens on Nantucket or in Maine. In the center of the island, or in town, or anywhere more than one hundred yards from the beach, the air hung and dripped. Hot, humid, and still: the air packed around you. But, over the tops of the bushes and just on the horizon were fingers of white fog. Once you got within one hundred yards of the beach, the temperature dropped and the sun faded into gray. In that short space of leaving the car and your sandals, people put on sweat shirts, wrapped themselves up in towels, and used their umbrellas as windbreaks.

Still, when I cancelled the party, the beach held a few hundred people.

They were circled in beach chairs, wine in hand, children in view (mostly), and towels spread for a long afternoon. Bikinis jumped into the puny surf.

Sweat shirts played kadima. Surf shorts cast into the dim, and fishless, water.

They would not have cancelled anything.

Of course, they don’t live here. They paid more than a few thousand dollars to rent a house for the week and to bring the kids and friends and cars over. They prepared for the afternoon on the beach, and a little fog wasn’t going to stop anything. Besides, it might burn off.

For an islander, this was not a beach day. This was a day to stay inside and watch the Sox or prune the hedge, or, perhaps, brave the traffic and pick up the groceries. Nantucketers are aware of the ocean, the same way that New Yorkers are aware of the Museum of Modern Art. They know where it is, and they have crossed the threshold, but only with visitors. The ocean borders us, but most of our lives happen within, not on, those borders. I had lawns to mow, closets to clean, and those dump runs. The Beach? “Must be nice.�

We live too close to see how fortunate we are. Ask an islander about July, and they will flash on traffic. For ten months a year, we can zip from one side of town to the other only slightly slower than the speed of a wish.

NANTUCKET

Director of Research & Education at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation I went out to Long Pond by First Bridge recently and came upon a family visiting the pond for the first time. A young girl of the family, maybe 6 years old, suddenly gasped with delight, “Is that a crocodile?!”

In actuality, it was a medium-sized (dinner plate) snapping turtle, slowly surfacing in hopes of a chicken dinner.

Snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina) have incited wonder for generations.

In fact, they have been around for more than 90 million years, virtually unchanged from before the time of the dinosaurs. Snapping turtles have witnessed the drift of continents, the birth of islands, the drowning of coastlines, the rise and fall of mountain ranges, the spread of prairies and deserts, the comings and goings of glaciers.

We can all admire the staying power of the snapping turtle. When you haven’t evolved in 90 million years, that’s like nature saying you are pretty much perfect.

Snapping turtles often seem ornery or aggressive to passersby, but it’s really their only defense. Other turtle species, like painted turtles can fully retract into their shells, so they feel protected by having their fleshy parts hidden. Snappers, on the other hand, have only a thin plastron (the under part of the shell). This allows them freedom for strong swimming, but also exposes a lot of vulnerable turtle flesh. Their main defense is to “snap” at any potential threat. Put yourself in a snapping turtle’s shell for a moment:you might take a nip or two of a creature tried to pick you up!

The snapping turtle’s upper shell, or carapace, is crenellated, the margins spiky; three rows of sharp little points run down its middle. The carapace measures 8-12 inches on an average adult, and the turtles can weigh between 10-35 pounds. Long Pond often boasts larger turtles than that, with some as

A Museum of Nantucket Icons

by Catherine Macallister

Jose Reyes

photo by Brian Will

Just a few steps from the hustle and bustle of downtown is the Nantucket Lightship Basket Museum, home to a carefully curated collection of baskets that have become a part of Nantucket history. The rattan, woven baskets are iconic: gaining value and fame and a recognizable piece of Nantucket whether you are onisland or on the other side of the world.

Every year, the museum puts on a special exhibition that tells the unique stories of baskets, weaving techniques, or the weavers themselves. This year’s exhibit, Innovations in Nantucket Basketry: Jose Reyes and Beyond, pays special homage to Nantucket weaver Jose Reyes and his contributions to the history of Nantucket Baskets and his invention of the “friendship purse,” a must-have fashion piece. continued on page 28

Critters from the Imagination of a Local Legend

YOU ARE INVITED TO DO SOME SERIOUS SUMMER SHOPPING! JOIN US AT

DOORS OPEN NOW THROUGH SEPTEMBER HARBOR SQUARE | STRAIGHT WHARF | NANTUCKET

@PERCHNANTUCKET @VERONICABEARD

During an interview we did with artist Clara Urbahn in 1999, she told us that her mother â&#x20AC;&#x153;trained us to look through a window and see everything as a painting...It was a wonderful way to start life off, as if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living in a painting...â&#x20AC;?

Judging from her current exhibition of paintings and one-of-a-kind â&#x20AC;&#x153;crittersâ&#x20AC;? that inhabit the world with her, Urbahnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view of life, in spite of her many challenges, has remained fresh and bright and imaginative even 20 years later.

Tall and furry, some mischievous and others innocent, Urbahnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sculptures are whimsical, playful, colorful, and tactile. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s named each based on his or her character: Ethel, Ruby, Agnes, Elsworth, Bubbles, Homer, and Peaches are a few. continued on page 13

All this week, these magical critters from the vibrant imagination of Clara Urbahn are visiting our world in Robert Foster Fine Art, a gallery at 8 India Street in the heart of Nantucket Town.

Foster describes Clara’s critters as “standing soft sculptures” and explains: “She creates them in her mind, sketches them, and she and her assistant build an armature/skeleton and then begin building around them.” In addition, her Trophy Heads are on display along with her oil paintings. “Her illustrations are magic and amazingly detailed... Clara’s oils are in the same vein as her illustrations, puppets, and critters. They are mysterious and tell a story that draws the viewer in... Her work is in many collections around the world...

You may have seen one in person at the Nantucket Atheneum in the Children’s Section, where kids can read a book while in the comforting lap of one of her Animal Chairs,” commented Foster.

This magical exhibition at Robert Foster Fine Art, 8 India Street, continues through Wednesday, July 17, and is definitely one you do not want to miss!

Comedy Festival from page 3

Stand Up & LearnTM

head against New York’s finest Chuck Nice, Carmen Lynch, and Chris Distefano.

The Nantucket Comedy Festival got its start in 2007. A rash of teen suicides had shaken the island community, and Kevin Flynn was devastated. A professional stand-up comedian, he knew well the healing power of laughter, so he made it his mission to bring some to Nantucket. His vision centered on creating programs for kids using comedy techniques to teach invaluable life skills, but he needed funding. Kevin gathered a group of famous funny friends, and they all donated their time and talent to the first festival in 2008, the proceeds of which helped launch the beginning of the Stand Up and LearnTM workshops for island children.

Stand Up & LearnTM engages students in creative writing, communication, and critical thinking as well as team and confidence building. It is one of the first stand-up comedy programs made exclusively for middle and high school students, and it has been implemented with Nantucket students, The Gateway School in New York City, the Deveraux Glenholme School in Washington, Connecticut, and at the Cape Cod Conservatory. With help from festival goers, these tools will soon be available to help children all around the country.

A community connected by laughter can help ensure bright futures for all of our children. For tickets, more information, or to make a donation, visit nantucketcomedyfestival.org.

it isâ&#x20AC;? says Locke, as she explains the customizable side of her business. Clients frequently bring their unworn jewelry to her and she breathes â&#x20AC;&#x153;new life into dated jewels,â&#x20AC;? making wearable pieces from jewelry that may otherwise be gathering dust in the drawer. Her Signet Rings and Quarterboard Bracelets are two other collections where customers can make something truly individualized by having initials, crests, or designs hand-engraved.

Even some of the larger, more vibrant stones in her collection are carefully matched with delicate metals that make even more conservative jewelry wearers wish that they had a piece from Susanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection. One of her most accomplished pieces sits in the case at the center of the gallery, Opus 1 (pictured right). This gorgeous necklace features sapphires, opals, garnets, diamonds, and a lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head carved out of tigers eye. It has a desert feel while also incorporating elements of the ocean like a small turtle with a diamond tail, and took here more than a year to create. For Susan, the creative process is like that of an artist where her â&#x20AC;&#x153;stones are like paints.â&#x20AC;&#x153; Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take the stones sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working with and spread them out, moving them around: a process that evolves a piece until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finished.

Susanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge of stones and ability to select stones that resonate with each piece she creates is remarkable. She shared some necklaces and rings that feature Paraiba tourmaline, a rare and beautiful stone that â&#x20AC;&#x153;glows from within,â&#x20AC;? and only exist in one mine in Mozambique. Each piece is named or in some cases renamed, as she shares the Cleo Cuff, a gold cuff with a swirl of diamonds in it. Some of her other popular pieces include the Diana Ring, one of the first rings she made for herself and her daughters.

Over the years, the ring has evolved with different metals and is now inlaid with diamonds. You can see the influence of Nantucket in her collections, more overtly in collections like The Nantucket Sign Collection, where some of your favorite Nantucket locations are available on a charm. The subtle influences that come from places like the view of the harbor from Susanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shop window are evident in opals and other stones that have elements of the sea

and sky in them. “I better pay attention to this,” says Locke on first becoming a jeweler. After visiting her shop, I am glad she paid attention to her calling as a jeweler, and you will be too.

Susan Lister Locke’s pieces are not to be missed at her waterfront gallery at 28 Easy Street.

With a catch in her voice, she explains the first time her pieces were shown on Nantucket, at Nantucket Looms, “I never dreamt in my life that I would show,” let alone at a shop like Nantucket Looms which she had long admired.

“That was it, and it still is in many ways.

I wouldn’t be here today,” she says with photo by Julie Almand a smile. It is easy to see why so many people return to her gallery again and again: it is a place where jewelry is given life through the amazing creativity, craftsmanship, and the service of Susan Lister Locke.

Don’t miss the opening reception in Susan Lister Locke’s gallery this Friday, July 12 from 5:30 to 8 pm celebrating the art of Cindy Pease Roe, creating a cleaner ocean.

If the entire island population were to be moved to Fitchburg for a year, our memories of the ocean would grow robust. Our return to the sands would be thunderous and life affirming.

So when you ask a visitor about July, their minds take them back to that afternoon at Nobadeer when the waves were perfect on the sandbar, the kids had fun, and the wine was cold. Sitting in the kitchen back in a snowy HoHo-Kus, they look at the framed picture of the kids and their boogie boards and they wish themselves back on Nobadeer sand. They don’t have similar continued on page 24

thoughts about the Milestone Rotary.

They are right. We don’t have the perspective to see it. We don’t have the right beach stickers to get to Singing Sands or Lucy Vincent. We don’t have to get up extra early to get to Cahoon Hollow or Marconi Beach, nor do we have to fight the green heads up Crane’s Beach. Compared to every single beach in New England, Nantucket’s are a dream. The water is warm, the surf is exciting, and the parking is easy. And if you don’t like one beach, you can just keep going until you find the one you like: this is only true out here.

Life on the beach mesmerizes you. The waves roll in, the tide rolls out.

The tide rolls in, the waves bounce out. Every day, every year, the beach looks the same: sand, wave, air. Surfside Beach looks the same in 2019 as it did in 1919; the people are different as is the land. And it is the land that concerns and worries the islanders. Stop signs, rotaries, and subdivisions won’t affect the beach, but they will affect the people on the beach, where they sleep, how they eat, and whether they will come back. We no longer have Thirty Acres, The Opera House, The Skipper, nor do we have many of the people who dropped their hard-earned money there. We want our visitors to not only enjoy this trip to the island, but the next ten before they buy the house and entertain the grandchildren.

One recent morning I happened upon Boy Scouts from Acton, Massachusetts. Thirty of them pedaled away from the camp, through the rotary, up South Water Street, over the cobblestones, and out to Brant Point Light. The lights still burned on their bikes. They wore “get up early clothes”—sweatpants and t-shirts. Dawn hadn’t heaved herself up from the horizon and the fog line, but the light graced Coatue, Wauwinet, and Great Point. The tide rushed out of the harbor and into the flashing light of the buoys. No planes, no boats, no cars; some of the young men were casting out into the water while others just sat on the beach and watched the day unfold. The scoutmaster told me that they came down every year and pedaled the island.

Acton, I told him, was a pretty nice community and this trip must be expensive. “But it is refreshing here” he said.

Let’s keep it that way.

long as 30 inches. Snapping turtles generally reach maturity at 8 to 10 years and can live up to 40 years or more.

The carapace can vary in color, from green to brown to black; sometimes it is covered with moss. Snapping turtles have a long tail, often as long or longer than the carapace, that is covered with bony plates. They also have a large head, long neck, and a sharp, hooked upper jaw. This hard beak has a rough cutting edge that is used for tearing foodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a built-in steak knife!

Basically any fresh and even brackish water body will have snapping turtles in it on Nantucket. They seek out mud-bottomed, weed-choked wetlands, and are opportunistic feeders, dining on whatever is available: carrion, aquatic invertebrates, fish, amphibians, other turtles, small mammals, snakes, the occasional bird (ducklings usually), and all manner of aquatic plants, which may make up more than half their diet.

Snapping turtles rarely leave the water except during the breeding season, when females can travel great distances in search of a place to dig a nest and lay eggs. Nantucket is a snapping turtleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream with plenty of sandy roads, banks, and hummocks to build a nest in.

One clutch of eggs is laid in late May to June. With powerful hind legs, the female digs a shallow bowl-shaped nest in a well-drained, sunny location.

Over a period of several hours, she lays approximately 20 to 40 creamy white eggs the size of ping-pong balls. After covering her eggs, the female returns to the water, leaving the eggs and hatchlings to fend for themselves. Off-island, turtle nests are often preyed upon by raccoons, skunks, and other mammals absent from our island fauna. Maybe that is one of the reasons for their success on Nantucket.

Generally, hatchlings emerge from their leathery egg in late August through October by using a small egg tooth to break open the shell. When the young hatch, they dig out of the nest and instinctively head to water.

Hatchlings are about an inch long with soft shells, and they must make it to water without being preyed upon by dogs, birds, snakes, or feral cats. When they reach water, the young turtles may be taken by fish and other snapping continued on page 26

turtles. Once the turtles have grown some and their shells harden, they are virtually predator-free (aside from people and cars).

When I was in graduate school, a friend of mine, Tobias Landberg (now at Arcadia University), was working with the National Geographic “Crittercam” program. He was part of a team that would mount turtles with a special camera to track their movements and get an idea of animal behavior deep down in the muck. This was part of an effort to learn about their natural history, but also to educate the public about our common, native wildlife.

Up until recently, turtle species were only regulated when they were endangered. However, for common species like the snapping turtle, when so little is known about its basic ecology, we won’t know if the population is in trouble until it’s too late. It's especially important to protect the animals when so little is known.

In some parts of the country, people hunt and trap large snappers for their meat. In the Midwest and Southern US, there’s even a large commercial market. As the diversity of the island grows, so does the harvest of snapping turtles. Until recently, there were no limits or protections of turtle harvests. continued on page 27

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

Vol. 49 No. 10 • YesterdaysIsland.com

Today, a fishing license is required to harvest snapping turtles and the legal limit is two per day during the season. The season is virtually year-round except during the breeding months of May through mid-July.

Keep in mind, though, that research has shown that only about one-third of turtles in the US are safe for human consumption. Snappers can tolerate a wide-range of water quality. As such, they can concentrate environmental contaminates and toxic chemicals such as PCBs in their flesh and could pose a health concern if consumed in large quantities. That’s great for the survival of snapping turtles, but maybe not so great for human consumption.

Besides hunting turtles for meat, there is, of course, the ever-popular Nantucket tradition of teasing turtles.

I have never really understood why people on Nantucket love to taunt turtles with chicken legs. First of all it’s completely unsanitary. Secondly it’s taming a wild animal, training them to respond to people. Third, it is illegal.

Yes: jigging for snapping turtles without a permit or license is illegal.

Massachusetts now regulates the harvest of snapping turtles. A fishing license is required to fish, and jigging for a turtle is technically fishing even if you don’t plan to eat it.

When I was at the popular turtle dock at Long Pond last week, no one had any chicken. And yet, we counted at least 40 snapping turtles swarming to the dock as soon as they sensed someone (my hunch is via the vibration in the water when we stepped on the dock).

So, why is it so bad to feed the turtles?

• First up, snapping turtles are usually nocturnal. Habituating them to daytime feeding wreaks havoc with their normal sleep patterns.

• Snapping turtles are very territorial. Feeding keeps them in larger numbers in a small area than is otherwise natural. This can lead to disease transmission and other issues seen with wildlife crowding.

• Snapping turtles habituated to people will pursue people for food.

This can lead to turtles seeming more aggressive to people who aren’t feeding them. It can also lead to more turtle deaths as they look for food crossing the road.

• When the summer ends, and so does the daily feeding, the turtles will have to adjust to their natural rhythms and feeding behavior. This can cause a decline in the population as turtles fight for the remaining resources.

Please help keep our snapping turtles wild and healthy. Enjoy them from afar with your eyes. The species may yet survive another 90 million years!

baleen or plastic. With so many new and interesting pieces paired with the current collection, the Nantucket Basket Museum is a site you don’t want to miss.

As part of their commitment to bring Nantucket Basket Weaving to a younger generation, the museum will be offering children’s classes from 9:3011:30 every Monday this summer. Kids from 7- to 14-years-old will learn how to weave Nantucket bracelets and be able to take part in a craft that has been part of Nantucket History since at least the nineteenth century. No prior weaving experience is necessary to take this class. Sign up by calling 508228-1177 or emailing the museum to reserve your child’s spot.

The annual Baskets and Bubbly event that celebrates and raises money for the Nantucket Lightship Museum will take place on Sunday, July 28 from 11am to 2pm, in the Great Harbor Yacht Club. Bid on baskets and other locally made luxury items while dining on delicious food and sipping champagne. Tickets are available at nantucketlightshipbasketmuseum.org. Don’t miss your chance to support the craftsmanship that this island favorite celebrates year after year, and reserved your tickets by July 21. Previews of auction items will be available at 49 Union Street the week leading up to Baskets and Bubbly, from July 23-July 27.

“There is a lot of nostalgia” says Wulffleff of the Nantucket Lightship Baskets and their history. She has big plans for the museum as it prepares to celebrate its twentieth anniversary next year, “I really hope that we can get to the point that people think of us as a real destination.” Consider adding the Nantucket Lightship Basket Museum to your tour of the island, it is a place rich in history and a celebration of the iconic Nantucket Baskets that have remained a part of art and fashion today. The Nantucket Lightship Basket Museum is located at 49 Union Street and is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10 am to 4:30 pm. Memberships are available and admission is just $10 for adults and $7 for ages 6-17.

The greater coastscape, which includes the federally owned Great Point Lighthouse and Nantucket Conservation Foundation land, is a double-fingered peninsula jutting northward between the Atlantic Ocean and Nantucket Sounds is so much more: a blend of sandy beach, rolling dunes, and forest uplands both rugged and serene. The refuge provides multiple habitats for an array of coastal plant and animal species, including heather and beach plum, a maritime oak forest and savannah of red cedar – the largest of its kind in New England – which offer shelter to deer. At the beachfront, watch for horseshoe crabs advancing in extremely slow motion, seals basking in the sun, and shorebirds skittering above the surf line.

Leave only footprints...

Nantucket has some of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in the world. Please respect Nantucket’s fragile environment and the beauty of our island. Clean up your litter, respect private property, and use only designated entry points. In areas where dune reclaimation is taking place, please do not cross the rope or fence barriers protecting the dunes.

BEACH SAFETY •Learn to swim. If you can’t swim an overhead stroke for at least 15 minutes you should not be in the ocean. •Never swim alone. Always swim with a buddy, and swim near a lifeguard whenever possible. •Stay out of the “surf zone” where the waves break at the shoreline. Waves are at their greatest force here, and even a small wave can lift you up and throw you headfirst into the sand. •Never run from the beach into the water and dive headfirst into the waves. Sandbars that cannot be seen from the surface may be present and/or the water may be too shallow.

•Don’t jump or dive into the water from a pier or rock jetty. From a pier or jetty, water appears much deeper than it really is. What looks like 10 or 20 feet of water may only be 2 to 3 feet deep. Diving in could be fatal. The same applies for jumping headfirst into the ocean or a wave from a surfboard – don’t do it! It’s not a risk worth taking. •If you are body surfing or boogie boarding, always keep your arms out in front of you to protect your head and neck. •A rip current will pull you away from the shore, but it will not pull you under. If you’re caught in a rip current, do not swim toward the shore! Instead, swim parallel to the shore, until you’re out of the rip current. Then, swim in to shore. •Never drink alcohol or use drugs at the beach. It clouds your ability to make wise decisions, and that could be fatal! •Take direction from lifeguards at all times.
