Father-Son Duo Invigorates Island Music Scene

by Julianne Adams “It’s nothing that’s been done here before,” says Nick Ferrantella. “It’s deeply rooted in the community.” Nick is speaking about Island Vibes: The Nantucket Music Collection, the latest musical project born in the underground studio he built ten years ago. Island Vibes, as Nick’s son and the album’s producer Victor Ferrantella describes, is “very eclectic.” With 150 artists featured on the two disc’s 40 songs, the album crosses genres and decades. From pop rock to acapella, with songs recorded in the past few months and as far back as the 60s, Island Vibes represents as wholly as possible the Nantucket music scene. This project, begun in earnest in January, has been in the works for quite some time and would never have been possible without the seasoned musical expertise of the Ferrantellas.

Nick Ferrantella’s foray into the music world began around age 12, when he started to learn drums. A Nantucket resident, Nick began playing at dances and parties on the island. In high school, his musical pursuits became more serious and he formed The Dionysians with his friends. They performed mainly at Thirty Acres, a long gone but much loved bar. Nick describes the impact Thirty Acres had on his career and the island. “My influences were really based in the Cape Verdean style music because Thirty Acres was owned by Cape Verdean people,” he explains. “[The bar] had a Cape Verdean style that kind of morphed into rhythm and blues. That was the very beginning of the music scene in Nantucket.” Nick notes that although there was a small jazz and piano world during the summer, “The Dionysians was the first rock band on the scene.” continued on page 12

Family Days Offered this Week at Two Museums Visiting a museum with young children can be a challenge. That's why the Nantucket Historical Association (NHA) and the Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum have set aside special days for families to visit and enjoy their properties in a way that works for those with little ones.

The NHA will host Family Adventure Day on Sunday, July 13 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Oldest House, located at 16 Sunset Hill. Families can journey into Nantucket’s past through an interactive exploration of the historic 17th century property. Visitors will learn about colonial lifestyles by making aromatic herb sachets, painting their own faux wood-grain boxes, decorating flying discs, and more. There will also be delicious summer refreshments that the whole family can enjoy. Admission is $5 per child and free for accompanying adults. Additional adults are $5 each. All ages are welcome.

Family Day at the Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, July 16. Museum personnel will give special kid-friendly tours of the property. Children can participate in indoor and outdoor activities such as lighthouse crafts, a scavenger hunt, and maritime games and music. They can also play on the museum’s newly constructed play structure for kids, which includes rope rigging and a new breeches buoy swing. The swing lets riders know exactly what it would have felt like to be saved from a shipwreck via this oft-used rescue device. Admission is $6 for adults, $4 for ages 5-17, and free for those under age five. Retired and active duty military members' families are always admitted free to the Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum. A second Family Day will be hosted by the Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum next month on Wednesday, August 13.

It's not every day that a museum invites parents and kids to explore its space together. Take advantage of one or both of these great opportunities to enjoy a museum alongside your children. For more details on these and other programs offered at the Nantucket Historical Association or the Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum, visit nha.org or nantucketshipwreck.org.

COACHING AT THE CORNER

The gentle glowing of fireflies that surround me at the UMass Boston Nantucket Field station is a welcome summer sight. I was surprised when a group of students from Worcester was shocked and delighted to see these creatures. Light pollution in the larger cities makes the subtle glow of fireflies hard to distinguish, and our dark skies allow us to view these beauties easily each summer. I wrote about fireflies a few years ago for Yesterday’s Island (yesterdaysisland.com/2011/science/9.php/), and have learned a bit more about them since then. I am especially curious as to when exactly they first light up each summer; their pyrotechnics seem to coordinate with humidity and temperature, and inquiring minds want to know.

Fireflies, also known as lightning bugs, are neither flies nor bugs but are beetles (Order Coleoptera) from the family Lampyridae, which is a pretty straightforward name. There are a lot of differences between true bugs and beetles, and we will save that for another column this summer, just trust me on this……fireflies are not bugs. The larval form and larvae-like females (larviform) of some firefly species are sometimes called glowworms to distinguish them from the winged forms. There are about 2,000 firefly species!

These insects live in a variety of warm environments, as well as in more temperate regions, and are a familiar sight on summer evenings.

Fireflies love moisture and are native to the more humid regions of Asia and the Americas. In drier areas, they are found around wet or damp areas that retain moisture. Some fireflies are strictly crepuscular (love this word; sounds both creepy and muscular, like an athletic zombie) creatures which means they are primarily active during twilight as opposed to nocturnal (true night-time loving) and diurnal (daytime) animals.

The life cycle of most firefly species takes two years. A few days after mating, which occurs in the spring, a female lays her fertilized eggs on or just below the surface of the ground. The eggs hatch 3-4 weeks later and the larva feed on worms and slugs by injecting them with poison and slurping them up (yum!). In the United States, fireflies may persist in the larvae stage for 1-3 years. Fireflies overwinter (some species for several years) during the larval stage. Some do this by burrowing underground, while others find places on or under the bark of trees. After several weeks of feeding, they pupate for one to 2.5 weeks and emerge as adults in late spring early summer. The adult firefly's life span lasts only a few weeks, during which reproduction is their main goal. Fireflies can grow to a size of one inch (2.5 cm). Not all adult firefly species glow, but most of the larval forms do. The ones on Nantucket appear to be the most active at twilight.

Fireflies get their name from the bioluminescence coming from a lightproducing organ in the beetle's abdomen that contains a substance called luciferin (a substrate) which when combined with luciferase (an enzyme), ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and oxygen reacts chemically to release enercontinued on page 17

Drive Like Mike

by Robert P. Barsanti Six of them were standing in the middle of a sand parking lot near Fat Ladies Beach. Mom was wearing a mom-like swim suit, but everyone else was wearing something from some company that made competitive yoga outfits. There were sunglasses, and bags, and chairs, and a cute little cooler that could hold two wine bottles and six diet busting grapes. The sun was bright, the air was clear, the surf was roaring, and I am sure the six of them had a wonderful day and would soon have an equally wonderful night.

But they would not move.

I was behind the wheel of a fifteen year old Toyota without a shock absorber and with a belt that stayed together for the children and screamed loud enough for everyone to know. My reverse lights glowed with demoniac lust in their sunglasses. My boon companion rolled down the window and asked them, politely, if they would move so we could back out. With apologies and embarrassed smiles, they shifted over to another part of the sand parking lot where they promptly blocked a Jeep from entering.

The six women did not intend to be rude. They did not spot the rusted, green, wailing hulk of a car and decide that the only way to keep that beast off the beach was to shun it. Nor do I think that they were so chuckle-headed as not to believe that they were in the way. Instead, I believe that the world that the six of them were in somehow excluded everyone else. They were in a bubble of their own.

I have been off-island long enough to know and understand these bubbles. You can’t walk down the central passage at any major mall and not isolate yourself and your companions from everyone else. You don’t make eye contact, you avoid bumping into people, and you act as if you are not aware of anyone else’s drama. Standing in the Food Court at the Galleria, you want to create privacy by not looking and not listening. If Mom and Dad instructs their son “to eat the goddam pizza with a knife and fork” the last thing son, father, or you need is to offer correct dining tips.

Ahab Returns The tides have coursed Nantucket whaleship Pequod back home. In a collaborative effort between the Nantucket Historical Association (NHA) and Theatre Workshop of Nantucket (TWN), the staged reading of Orson Welles' Moby-Dick Rehearsed, will return to the NHA's Gosnell Hall on July 14-17, and August 11-14, 2014.

The play, which was first performed in 1955 at the Duke of York Theatre in London, celebrates the enduring legacy of Herman Melville’s masterpiece of American literature.

Theatre Workshop's adaptation of Welles' play comes alive under the 46-foot sperm whale skeleton in the Whaling Museum’s Gosnell Hall. Featuring an illustrious cast of community actors, the play evokes the essence of the ocean and turbulent life aboard a whaleship, as Ahab follows his obsession to find the great white whale. "‘Back and extended by popular demand’ are the six words that sum up the 2014 production of Moby-Dick Rehearsed,” says Gabrielle Gould, TWN Executive Director. “To have TWN Artistic Director John Shea back as the indomitable Ahab, and also directing the production, is sure to bring this beloved performance to new heights for its fourth year.” Marjan Shirzad, NHA Director of Visitor Experience, says, “Audiences have never seen Ahab quite like this!"

After three summers of sold-out July performances, a second theatrical run has been added in August. Moby-Dick Rehearsed will run at the Whaling Museum July 14–17 and August 11–14, 2014. On both closing nights, July 17 and August 14, attendees will enjoy the performance followed by a cocktail reception and meet and greet with the cast. All performances will begin promptly at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. To purchase tickets for this sure-to-sellout event, visit nha.org/tickets or call 508-228-1894.

How Terroir & Merroir Can Make You Happy

by Jenny Benzie Advanced Sommelier and Proprietress of Épernay Wine & Spirits Nothing makes your mouth zing, lips smile and heart warm than the perfect food and wine pairing. Just like your yoga practice, it takes a lot of time and effort to get it right. Luckily, there are some classic go-to pairings that are part of the core foundation of this practice.

Since it's summertime on the island, let's start our practice with a refreshing, crisp, dry white wine: Chablis. We aren't talking about the Carlo Rossi jug kind that labels itself “California Chablis� in an effort to ride the coattails of this famous wine region. We are talking about the real deal made from 100% Chardonnay in Burgundy, France. In France, the law dictates that wine is named after the place it originated and not the grape varietal, as is seen on most American bottles.

Located a little over 100 miles southeast of Paris, Chablis is a small village that has given its name to a larger wine growing region. This area is considered the northernmost wine district of Burgundy, although the climate and characteristics of Chablis more closely resemble that of Champagne. Champagne is located about 30 miles away; and Beaune, sister city to Nantucket and the heart of Burgundy, is 100 miles south.

Vineyard classification in Chablis is designated by the governmental agency in charge of wine-related issues. Village level wines come from grapes grown lower on the hillsides and can be a blend of several different vineyard sources. These are the least expensive and considered everyday drinking wines. There are 40 vineyards in the region that can be designated Premier Cru. These wines, while not inexpensive, prove to be the best quality to price value ration. These can age for a few years or be consumed young. Vineyards to look out for: Vaillons or Montmains. Grand Cru is the highest level of vineyard classification. It contains only seven different continued on page 16

Atheneum Summer Speakers

TOPPER’S BUBBLE BRUNCH

by Julianne Adams

Enjoy Sunday Brunch overlooking the Bay while sipping a bubbly cocktail.

For almost a decade, the Nantucket Atheneum has played host to a number of illustrious men and women through the Geschke Lecture Series. The Series began in 2005 when the Atheneum received a grant from the National Endowment For The Humanities, a pivotal turning point for the Atheneum.

Amy Jenness, Head Adult Program Coordinator, writes, “The grant helped establish the Adult Programs Department (which hadn’t existed before) and refocused the library’s goals to include cultural and educational programs for the island.” The Series received its name from the Geschke Foundation, whose donation to the project matched the National grant. Today, the Geschke Series continues to play a central role in fulfilling to the Atheneum’s community aims.

Purposefully eclectic in its speakers, the Series actively strives to cover a broad variety of topics. As Jenness explains, “Our goal is to bring speakers here who represent the best and brightest in their field. We hope to inform and inspire our audience by giving them access to people who offer them new perspectives and cutting edge information.” Past participants have included Jill Abramson (former executive editor of the New York Times), Dr. Susan Hockfield (former president of MIT), and David Gregory (political television journalist).

Given the standard of speakers, it is unsurprising that the entirety of the summer community is regularly attends the Geschke Series. “Last year we had a Harvard astronomer [Dr. Robert Kirshner] who attracted a lot of kids, which I loved,” remarks Jenness. Most attendees are “over a wide spectrum of age and experience. No expert knowledge required.” The audience, too, is an active part of the talks. The 40-minute lectures are typically followed by 20 minutes of Q & A, a period in which the audience can interact with the established and noteworthy speakers.

This year, the Series once again offers an impressive roster of speakers

Gifts from the Sea

by Leah Mojer For the last few weeks, all I can think about is fishing. I have been blessed with some very patient fishing friends who have taken me under their wing and very patiently shown me the ropes, (ahem lines and lures) and even their most precious fish spots. I have gone 9 times this season with nothing to show for it but a couple missing lures and a bruised ego. That will change I’m just sure of it!

Luckily, we live in a place where the fruits of the sea are bountiful whether you catch, dig, rake them up, or buy them from one of our many awesome fish markets. Nothing is closer to seeing god than slurping a quivering pearlescent oyster, still pulsing with life. The clean mineral flavors complimented with fresh brine just has no contender. Here’s a few fun and unique ways to prepare some of Neptune’s finest.

For a few years after high school, Nick studied and played in Boston and, for a winter, California. Then he returned to the island. Back home, Nick met Corky Laing, George Gardos, and Gary Ship, whose band was about to change from Bartholomew Plus 3 into Energy. Nick says, “They made a great impression on me.” Lasting musical and personal bonds were formed—years later, Ship became the godfather to Victor.

The trio gained traction and the attention of Felix Pappalardi, a Cream producer, writer, and sometimes player. In 1970, Laing replaced drummer N.D. Smart in the recently formed band Mountain, which consisted of Pappalardi, Leslie West, and Steve Knight. Another new addition to Mountain was Nick Ferrantella, who began working as road manager that same year.

And so began the wild ride of touring with rock bands. For ten years, Nick worked as a tour manager for the same management company but a variety of bands. At the time, bands were constantly changing. Nick began with Mountain and followed Laing and West as they formed West, Bruce and Laing with former Cream bassist Jake Bruce. A few years later, The Leslie West Band, sans Bruce, came into being and added a few members, including guitarist Mick Jones. In between the group changes, Leslie West released an album, The Great Fatsby (1975). Two artists featured on its tracks were Mick Jagger and Nick Ferrantella. Mostly, though, Nick stayed behind the scenes.

When Jones founded Foreigner in 1976, Nick became their tour manager. For four years, Nick was on the road with the massively popular band.

In 1980, things changed. “I loved touring, but near the end it got tiring,” Nick says. During a period when the band was off the road, Nick, now married to Nantucket-native Linda, had a change of heart. “The island in me was calling me back,” he says. “My career did end on an up-note with them.”

There was still a lot of music left in Nick, though. When he returned to the island, he started his successful landscaping company Ferrantella Landscaping and raised his sons, Victor and Ben, both of whom are, of continued on page 14

Vol. 44 No. 10 • Our 44th Season!

Drive Like Mike

the driver’s eyes, the intersection flow like a fat man’s aorta. In the best of summer times, the four- and fiveway stop signs slow to a crawl; the only way to make them worse is to put a policeman in the middle to direct traffic.

Consideration does not require white gloves and whistles. Instead, you need to pop the bubble, roll down the window, and yank the earbuds out. Instead of ignoring everyone around you, you have to consider them and imagine what they want. You can’t let your daughter sit in the middle of Main Street while you politely let her tantrum blow away. Instead, you need to look up at the Miles Reis trash truck waiting on lovely Desdymoana and swing her up on your hip. Even if your American Seasons dinner was Olympian, you don’t get to saunter up the Center of Centre Street. Follow in the footsteps of The Great Diners who came before you and use the sidewalk. Dumping your empty beer cans in the sand means someone has to clean up after you.

Nantucketers don’t do rules well. We trespass on other people’s land, we drive on the beaches, and we build things we shouldn’t. But we try to use consideration. We try to look at the people washing dishes, driving taxis, or walking down the beach and think, for a moment, what it must be like to be in their shoes.

Because, more often than not, we have been in their shoes.

A local contractor, of some repute for his skills and his hair, is known for his driving. When you “drive like Mike,” you let other cars into the intersection, you stop for the pedestrians, and you drop the two fingered wave on just about everyone you pass. You drive, in short, as if you were being paid by the hour and had already clocked in. But he smiles as he waves and we smile back. Because we see and we notice and we appreciate it.

from page 7

Our electronics make the bubble portable and battery powered. On a bike or on a bench, we stare down at Candy Crush, drop the bass, and wait for our good friends to “like” the selfie in the street. Like a paper toilet seat cover, the bubble protects and sanitizes. Many times in the messy parts of my life I would like to be protected and sanitized; walking through the Stop and Shop at mid-day on the Fourth of July helps me really appreciate the whiskey tenor of Jimmy Buffet in Hawaii.

Off-island, the key to understanding every other person arises from imagining everyone in a car on a wellconstructed and signed road. We all drive up Elm Street until the light turns red, when we all stop. We slip into the turning lane if we want to take a left turn across traffic. We keep within ten miles of the speed limit. We “use yah blinkah.” And we drive around in sealed bubbles that won’t let in a bird song, a police siren, or the roar of a crashing meteor. Should we hear anything outside the 68 degree, tinted bubble, we turn up Beyoncé and continue on.

Nantucket does not follow American driving laws.

We have no stop lights, we let the hedges and azaleas cover the street signs, and we won’t repaint the roads because it costs too much. As a result, Nantucketers have a much simpler driving code: consideration. In order to drive this way, you have to look at the eyes of the other drivers, you have to signal out the window, and you have to wave. In July, when the roads are cluttered with American drivers who are trying to follow nonexistent rules, all of the intersections are ceased with idle and still cars. By August, when the rule book is back in the glove compartment and you can see the whites of

course, musically inclined. Victor began piano at age six and in his mid-20s picked up the guitar. Ben, as Victor tells it, “learnt drums by watching” and also took on guitar. After college, the brothers, along with cousin Michael Stefanski and friend Chris Beamish, formed Sweetmeat and the Silverfish.

Conveniently for the band, a recording space was located right below half the band’s family home.

In 2002, Nick produced the soundtrack for the documentary The Last Call, about the bar Bosun’s Locker that shut its doors in the 1970. After working on the soundtrack in the Vineyard and seeing the new software of the studio, Nick had an idea. “I saw Pro Tools [an editing software], and thought, ‘Oh, I could do this. I could build something.’” The studio didn’t spring up overnight though. “It took a while for me to conceive and actually have it built.”

In 2005, Garden Rock Studios opened its doors. Located below the landscaping offices, the recording studio is securely soundproof. Showing the space, Nick explains, “These two rooms are floated. They don’t touch any other part of the building.” No sound vibrations get in or out, meaning artists can focus and those nearby won’t be disturbed.

Initially, the studio functioned mainly as a space for experimenting, especially for Victor and Ben. With its soundproof walls and collection of instruments, the recording studio doubles as an excellent rehearsal space.

“In the beginning, this was more of a project studio for us,” Victor explains.

“It was a dream to have.” The studio was a place for them to learn. “In that environment,” Victor says, “you really hone your skills.”

In the studio, the Ferrantellas could polish their skills, not only as a musician but also as producers and sound engineers. “We spent a lot of time figuring out how to use the software,” Victor says. Recording with his band Sweetmeat, Victor found his musical interests developing. “We played all original music and in that I found my passion for producing and making music. I found a real enjoyment out of working with somebody’s song, recording it, and making it sound as good as it can,” Nick says. “It was a lot continued on page 15

“That took me to the next level,” he says. His father described the course,

Garden Rock Studios which Victor completed remotely, as “very intense.” Nick gained his studio education during his time in the industry. “From my years in the business,” he says, “I was involved in probably 18 or 19 albums, where I sat there in the studio with the producers and the engineer, and the band leader. So much of that I absorbed: what it takes to produce, what a producer really does. So now I’m able to apply those skills.”

Very quickly, Garden Rock turned into a space for other artists. “We had people knocking on our door all the time to come and record,” Nick says. continued on page 33

vineyards, all of superior quality. These are by far the most expensive and can age effortlessly for 10 years, as they typically see some barrel maturation. Some excellent producers include Christian Moreau, Dauvissat, and Joseph Drouhin.

The terroir, or combination of special characteristics of the area that create a 'sense of place,' are a huge influence on the style of Chablis. The cool climate of the region helps to create crisp wines with more acidity and less concentrated fruity flavors than Chardonnay grown in warmer climates. In comparison to other white wines made in Burgundy, Chablis stylistically sees little to no oak with minimal barrel fermentation. These wines are also very mineral driven, due to the Kimmeridgian limestone and chalky soils. Millions of years ago, this area was an ocean floor; and today, it has many sea fossils. This eventually developed into a mineral-rich soil, which makes for these distinctive chardonnays.

For those that say they don't like Chardonnay, this is the wine for you to try. The color of the wine should be clean and clear. Younger wines will have green and platinum highlights when looking through the glass. As the wine ages, the color will become lightly golden in color. You will discover hints of green apple, tart citrus, and lemongrass with striking minerality that is sometimes described as flinty or like crushed rock. The most distinctive quality to the wine is the high amount of acidity, which is determined by how much your mouth salivates when you take a sip of the wine. This sharpness, while on its own may seem harsh, is a perfect pairing with foods that can cut through that acidity and balance the taste of the wine.

Perhaps all of this combined is the reason that chilled Chablis and oysters are such a magical food pairing. Nantucket is home to several local oyster farmers who are practicing aquaculture. In the same concept of growing grapes, the oysters here are 'aquafarmed' to perfection and influenced by the 'merroir' of where they are raised. Oyster growth is influenced by its production, much the same way as grapes grown in a certain region.

Whatever the farming practice, it is best to eat the oysters clean or with just a squeeze of lemon in order to taste this 'sense of place' where they are grown. Farmed oysters from Nantucket are one of the most sustainable seafood options out there. They can actually improve the quality of oceans and bays as they feed on particulate matter and nutrients that might otherwise pollute our waterways. The oysters’ shells can be recycled in your home garden or into the harbor to form 'oyster reefs' as is done here on Nantucket by the Town's Natural Resource Department. continued on page 25

gy in the form of light. This chemically-produced light, emitted from the lower abdomen, may be yellow, green, or pale red in color, and has a wavelength from 510 to 670 nanometers. The eggs, larvae, and pupae of members of this family are often luminous as a way of signaling to predators that they are not tasty and can be mildly toxic. Firefly larvae even flash like the adults in response to gentle stimulus such as tapping them. A firefly's glow is an extremely efficient process, converting 90-100% of the energy to light instead of heat. The average incandescent light bulb only converts 10% of its energy to light, wasting the rest as heat. Their bioluminescence produces a cool light that does not burn your hand or the creature creating it.

It makes sense for the larvae to glow as a protective measure. So why do the adults glow? Well, just as one would think, they do it to pick up a date (or a meal, as we'll see below). Around dusk, the male takes to the air and flies over and around vegetation, flashing its species-specific code. The female, usually perched on vegetation, responds by mimicking the signal a few seconds later. After five to ten signal exchanges, the male will have homed in, and mating takes place. Aspects of male flash patterns are also thought to be affected by sexual selection. Female fireflies have been shown to prefer certain characteristics of a male's photic signal (such as increased flash rate) and respond preferentially to males that possess these "sexy" signal components. Where this light dance goes horribly awry for one of the pair is when it involves the female of the genus Photuris, a large eastern U.S. Species, who is the “femme fatale” of the firefly world. She is capable of mimicking the flash code of other species and thus lures in many different males – not for mating but for eating!

Males from a few species, such as Photinus carolinus in the US found in the Smokey Mountains synchronize their flashing. Scientists are not sure why they do this, but they think this helps them attract mates in masse and then leave the sorting up to the females.

We know the larvae eat slugs and worms using their B Movie skills to continued on page 18

track other insects via slime trails and inject poison in them in order to subdue and eat them. Adults typically feed on nectar or pollen, though scientists believe that some adults might not eat at all. This Tufts University web site shows you everything you might want to know about how fireflies make their flash and how to induce that flashing behavior using nitrous oxide (ase.tufts.edu/biology/Firefly/).

Fireflies are a relatively unexplored topic for entomologists and in many areas of the world where fireflies were extremely abundant, like the Mae Klong River in Ban Lomtuan, Thailand there is some worry that firefly populations may be crashing. Pesticide use, habitat destruction, and light pollution from nearby cities which can confuse and distract fireflies trying to mate have been listed as some of the possible causes for the reduction in firefly numbers observed worldwide. How big of a problem is this? How many bugs have we lost? No one seems to know. Researchers have had difficulty finding enough scientists to study the short-lived (as adults), delicate, and sometime elusive creatures. Citizens to the rescue! This is an excellent example of a subject that citizen scientists can help illuminate (sorry, easy pun). The Museum of Science in Boston has started the Firefly Watch in conjunction with scientists from Tufts and Fitchburg State. you can become an observer by logging in at legacy.mos.org/fireflywatch and add data to the national database. You can even determine the species of Photinus fireflies by the timing of the flashes, which vary between males and females.

The chemical magic that goes into a firefly’s abdomen may help scientists detect abnormal cells! From www.firefly.org/facts-about-fireflies.html: “Fireflies are medically and scientifically useful: The two chemicals found in a firefly's tail, luciferase and luciferin, light up in the presence of ATP. Every animal has ATP in its cells in amounts that are more or less constant—or should be. In diseased cells, the amount of ATP may be abnormal. If the chemicals from fireflies are injected into diseased cells, they can detect changes in cells that can be used to study many diseases, from cancer to continued on page 23

muscular dystrophy. But that's not all they're used for. Electronic detectors built with these chemicals have been fitted into spacecraft to detect life in outer space, as well as food spoilage and bacterial contamination on earth.”

If glowing were not bad enough, when attacked, fireflies shed drops of blood in a process known as “reflex bleeding.” The blood contains chemicals that taste bitter and can be poisonous to some animals. Because of this, many animals learn to avoid eating fireflies. And it is important to know that you should never feed fireflies to lizards, snakes, and other reptilian pets.

The relatively limited amount of light pollution and pesticide use on island means Nantucket should be an ideal place to study them. To attract fireflies (and wildlife and other beneficial bugs) to your yard, cut back on pesticides and outside light. One of the reasons why summer, although chilly, can be enchanting on Nantucket is our limited light pollution, which makes it easy to pick out these glowing beauties which have been around for a couple of weeks. But scientists still are not exactly clear on what triggers these guys to start flashing every summer. About a week and a half ago, when the nighttime temperature was at least 68 degrees, we had a light show of displaying fireflies. And last night, July 6th, the twilight temperature was 19 degrees Celsius (66.0 degrees Fahrenheit), and I could see at least a dozen fireflies flashing away. Keep your eyes open and enjoy these summertime wonders.

NEW ENGLAND'S BEST ART GALLERY! Yankee Magazine, April 2014

SCIENCE UPDATE: In recent news, it appears that a glowworm species which is part of the beetle Family Phengodidae is responsible for beheading and killing the millipedes on Tuckernuck! Here is a site showing one actually inside a millipede: http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2010/09/24/glowworm-10/! The burnt out remains I found with my junior rangers on Tuckernuck indicate that a glowworm species is likely one of the millipede assassins. We will be checking again this summer.

Terroir & Merroir from page 16

Whether you love them on the half shell or crispy and fried, another great thing about oysters is that they provide you with a host of health benefits of which most people are unaware. For starters, they are low in fat and calories, yet high in protein. They are an excellent source of many essential vitamins and minerals including iron, brain powering omega-3 fatty acids and calcium. They provide a high dosage of zinc, and are thought to be the aphrodisiac mineral that will keep your Vinyasa flow going.

And with farmed oysters, forget about the myth about not eating oysters in months that don't have an ‘R.’ Oysters that grow wild typically spawn in the summer months, making them thin, somewhat milky and less tasty. With modern aquaculture techniques, the oysters are derived from seeds and don't spawn, so the flavor of the oyster you are looking for only matures with time as the oyster continues to develop in its shell. The meaty brininess of an oyster screams for the minerality and acidity that is found in Chablis wines.

Hopefully this summer you will try this classic pairing for yourself. After sharing your practice of eating a couple dozen Nantucket oysters and polishing off a few bottles of Chablis, you can practice my favorite pose and perhaps the most important part of yoga: shavasana.

[Editors Note: If you’d like to try Jenny’s recommendations, stop by Epernay at 1 North Beach Street between the White Elephant and The Nantucket Hotel for a bottle of wine, then head over to Oyster Crackas on Toombs Ct. off Old South Road for fresh oysters they farm in Nantucket waters.]

Combine 2 cups water, clam juice, basil, lemongrass, lime juice, fish sauce, and salt in a stockpot; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until well flavored, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine cilantro and butter in food processor; mix until cilantro is in tiny flecks. Set aside in a small saucepan.

Pass liquid in stockpot through cheesecloth-lined strainer. Return to stockpot over medium-high heat. Add clams (use a bamboo steamer if desired); cover pan. Cook until clams open, 10 to 12 minutes; discard unopened ones.

Melt the cilantro butter. Transfer the clams to a serving bowl, and strain the broth through a cheesecloth-lined strainer.

Serve clams with lime wedges, broth for rinsing off sand, and butter.

I love using the grill with shellfish. The high heat ensures quick cooking and minimizes flavor and moisture loss. This couldn’t be easier or more fun to prepare plus it is a real show stopper when the steaming packages are opened.

up the edges of each foil square to form a shallow bowl. Divide clams and pancetta mixture, with its liquid, evenly between foil bowls. Top each with 4 tomato halves. Bring the 4 corners of each foil packet up over the clams like a hobo sack; twist ends together and crimp edges to enclose.

Place foil packets on grill. Listen for the juices to begin bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue cooking 4 minutes more. Transfer packets to a large platter and serve immediately, taking care to keep your face away from the steam when opening.

I can’t over state how much I love the flavor of fennel with fish. The pair is such a great match, and the addition of orange is over the top delicious.

COD FILLETS

POTATOES

AND

FENNEL

1 T olive oil 1 small onion, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 fennel bulb, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (reserve fronds for garnish) 1 pound russet potatoes, peeled, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) chicken broth 2 T tomato paste 3 strips orange zest, 1/2-inch-wide Coarse salt 4 boneless cod fillets, (6 ounces each) In a 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic.

Cook, stirring frequently until onion is soft, about 7 minutes. Add tomato paste; stirring to combine. Add fennel, potatoes, chicken broth or water, and orange zest; season with salt and pepper; stirring to combine. Cover, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Season fish with salt and pepper. Place on top of vegetables in skillet; reduce heat. Cover; simmer until fish is opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes.

Serve with chopped reserved fennel fronds.

Okay, so this next recipe is not fishy, but the addition of sea salt makes the chocolate and cherry combo really pop. Plus seafood is so low in fat that dessert is well deserved after!

CHOCOLATE-CHERRY BLONDIES

WITH

SEA SALT

2-2/3 C all-purpose flour 4 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp fine salt 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature 2/3 C granulated sugar 1 C packed light-brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 C semisweet chocolate chips 1 C dried tart cherries Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

In a large bowl, using a mixer, beat butter and both sugars on high until pale and fluffy, 3 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture, and beat until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips and cherries.

Press mixture into a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan. Sprinkle with Sea Salt. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 28 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.

whose work was central to some of the most pivotal political events of recent history. Baker wrote for the Washington Post for almost 20 years, where he helped break the Monica Lewinsky story and was the first US reporter in Afghanistan after September 11. A regular contributor to PBS’s Washington Week, Baker co-wrote Kremlin Rising: Vladmir Putin’s Russia and the End of Revolution in 2007 with his wife, journalist Susan B. Glasser. Baker continues his landmark career as the White House correspondent for the New York Times.

In addition to the Geschke events, the Atheneum offers the Constance Laibe Hays Memorial Lecture on August 6. Begun in 2006, the annual event honors Constance Laibe Hays, a New York Times reporter. The year after her 2005 death, her family and friends created the event “to support the work of both new and established writers.”

This year the event has two speakers: Stephen Shepard and Lynn Povich.

Husband and wife, both are award-winning journalists with impressive careers. Shepard served as founding dean of CUNY Graduate School of Journalism after working as editor-in-chief of BusinessWeek for over 20 years.

In 1975, Povich became senior editor at Newsweek—the first woman to do so.

After serving as editor-in-chief of Working Woman and managing editor for MSNBC.com’s East Coast content, Povich now serves on the boards of Women's Rights Division of Human Rights Watch and International Women's Media Foundation.

Because these speakers are so highly sought after, the Hays and Geschke events are all ticketed ($25), unlike most Atheneum events. Jenness explains, “The money raised from those two [series] goes back into [the] budget to pay for next year’s programs. In addition, the lectures from both series draw a larger audience than what the library can hold and are held off site.” Lecture tickets may be purchased at the Atheneum Box Office in the garden along India Street and online at www.nantucketatheneum.org Spread throughout the summer, the Geschke and Hays lectures grant the island community a thrilling chance to hear prominent thinkers share their stories and ideas.

Island Music Scene from page 15

The studio started recording and producing tracks for local musicians. The Shep Cats and Eelgrass were early Garden Rock clients. Over the years and through word-of-mouth the studio has grown to produce a spectrum of projects, musical, and otherwise. Pulitzer finalist and Nantucket resident Nathaniel Philbrick recorded an audiobook at Garden Rock, and comedic actor Will Arnett has popped in for voiceover work.

The studio’s most recent project, and its biggest yet, is Island Vibes: The Nantucket Music Collection. “We conceived it years ago but we actually brought it to a head in January,” Nick says. With the commitment made, the father-son duo quickly started recruiting tracks from artists. The response was fantastic. Originally planned as one album, the project expanded. “All of the sudden it was boom: doubledisc,” says Victor.

Island Vibes consists of 40 songs performed by 150 artists. Of the 40, Garden Rock produced and recorded 26 while artists supplied finished tracks that up the rest. Across the various genres on the compilation, all the artists have one thing in common: Nantucket. The artists are either locals or spent time on our island and gathered inspiration from it. While about half the songs were recorded in the past few years, the oldest one goes back to 1965.

Bartholomew Plus 3 performs the track, which was produced by Felix Pappalardi. The song, a throwback to the beginning of Nick’s music days, helps make Island Vibes into what Victor describes as “a time capsule.”

The aim of Island Vibes is to bring attention to the studio and the Nantucket music scene. “The goal of this project,” Vic says, “is to first and continued on page 55

The view is spectacular, even on a cloudy day! From the top of the bell tower, you can see in all directions: a panorama of town, the harbor, moors, hills, beaches, and the ocean. The enclosed 92-step climb has several stopping points for resting and a museum level with historic photographic displays. A visit to the Tower should only take a half-hour, but you’re welcome to stay as long as you’re enjoying the view.

Vol. 44 No. 10 • Our 44th Season!

July 10 - 16, 2014

Featured Restaurant: Fifty-Six Union

It’s Always This Good at Fifty-Six We were just a few bites into the first course when Jesse, the newest member to join our team, turned to the rest of us and asked: “Is the food here always this good?”

We don’t always know what to expect when we go out to eat on Nantucket, the experience can be radically different from one season to the next — sometimes from the start of the season to the end, when staff is tired and ready to close for the fall.

But when we dine at a restaurant owned by the chef, the difference is unmistakeable. We can see the care taken with every aspect of dining, service, ambiance, cuisine, and cocktails. Dining out should be a full sensory experience, and when the owners are in aprons and truly care about their guests, the experience is one you want to repeat.

This is how it’s done at Rocket Greens Fifty-Six Union—it’s no surprise to us that this restaurant just steps from the heart of downtown Nantucket has so many loyal patrons!

We don’t think of Fifty-Six Union just as chef-owned, we think of it as family owned. Chef Peter Jannelle runs the kitchen, often assisted by son Andrew; Wendy Jannelle is everpresent, handling front-of-the-house and staff; and son Blair frequently tends bar and sometimes serves.

Whether you’re seated in one of their stylish dining rooms, outside on the sheltered patio adorned with flowers and colorful lanterns, or at the special Table 56 in the lush garden, the ambiance at Fifty-Six is playful, fun, and festive. We consider the cuisine Fine Dining, but the feel of the place is casual—a place where you can relax and have a good time.

Melon & Proscuitto

If the weather is chilly our favorite seats are at the bar in the main dining room. But the weather last week (after the tropical storm) was warm and summery, so we opted for a seat on the patio, as did many of their other guests (if you’d like an outdoor table, we recommend that you request it when you call for your reservation).

Chef Jannelle changes his menu with the seasons, and the summer menu includes dishes that are deliciously fresh, light, and perfect for July. New to the menu is a beautifully composed salad of Rocket Greens. The tender, peppery arugula is anointed with lemon and olive oil, drizzled Escargot Bourguignonne with balsamic, and tossed with toasted pine nuts. Slices of dried tomato and dabs of fresh pesto circle the dish—we did a little tossing ourselves to mix these in for rich, mellow flavor. The broad shavings of parmesan served on top did little for the salad, but that’s only because we pounced on those and devoured them before we dug in with our forks.

Another newcomer to the Fifty-Six menu is a spectacular Melon & Prosciutto appetizer. Behind the simple name is a rather complicated procedure; Chef Jannelle compresses large slices of fresh watermelon with melon juice, lime, basil, and a sprinkle of smoked sea salt, and lets it marinate.

When it emerges, the watermelon is a deep ruby red with delightfully intense flavor. On order, he cuts the melon into chunks and arranges it with slices of salty proscuitto, crumbled goat cheese, and dribbles of balsamic.

Grilled Quail The result is fresh, clean, salty, juicy, creamy, and very, very good!

Among the warm appetizers, we love Chef Jannelle’s Pork Dim Sum, house-

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

Vol. 44 No. 10 • Our 44th Season!

made with a lucious Asian pepper coulis, his classic Clams Casino, and his Escargot Bourguignonne. We had decided this night to keep to his new dishes, but could not resist the escargot. The half-dozen little morsels are tender, wonderfully garlicky, and the addition of a bit of habanero gives them a little extra heat.

Another suberb starter is the Grilled Quail. Plump and meaty for quail, the little bird is butterflied and grilled and served with a slightly sweet marsala demiglaze, spiced pecans, and quenelles of chevre. This dish we like best alternating a forkful of quail dredged through the demi and a forkful with some chevre.

A couple of patron favorites are always among the entrees at FiftySix Union: their flavorful Fifty-Six Burger on a toasted brioche bun, a version of Steak Frites, and Vegetarian Gnocchi their Javanese Spicy Fried Rice, which is a sure-fire hit among all who love the tingle and taste of a very well done spicy dish.

Every menu at Fifty-Six includes a vegetarian dish that is tasty enough to appeal to omnivores as well. Vegetarian Gnocchi has just been added to the menu, and we found this dish to be full of deep flavors and a variety of textures: housemade potato gnocchi, firm black beans, a tasty mix of wild mushrooms plus a grilled portobello, cauliflower, zucchini, fresh tomato, broccolini. It’s topped with shaved manchengo cheese that melts deliciously into the mix.

We love Chef Jannelle’s superb Grilled Berkshire Loin of Pork. The boneless chop is thick and succulent with just the right amount of char to give it a summery cookout flavor. The pork is served with a cool pineapple chutney with just a spark of heat, and a deliciously compatible sweet potato mash with hints of maple syrup.

Salmon at Fifty-Six is always a good choice—no matter how Chef Jannelle prepares this fish, it’s always delicious. For summertime, he is dusting the salmon with freshly ground black pepper and searing it Grilled Berkshire Loin of Pork

Page 49

till the edges are crisped but the interior is just cooked through.

The salmon comes apart in big, moist flakes.

It’s presented on Israeli couscous, “pearls” the tossed with tiny dice of carrot and bell pepper and a luxurious roasted shallot hollandaise, which adds a delicious richness to this summery dish.

Seared Rare Tuna Our table favorite on this summer menu is the Seared Rare Tuna—so much so that we returned just a few days later to enjoy it again! Seasoned with orange oil and togarashi, the tuna is barely shown the heat, sliced, and served chilled with a sprinkling of black and white sesame seeds. Alongside the tuna, for dipping, are alternating dollopsof pickled ginger aioli and a chunky housemade nuoc cham with just enough heat to make you pay attention. The final delight on this chilled entree is a udon noodle salad with edamame, carrot, snow peas, and wakame.

Desserts, too, are noteworthy here. If you’ve run out of room, then their Selection of Ice Creams is the best choice. The three scoops we enjoyed were Mango, Basil, & Myers Rum then Green Tea, Ginger, & Ginger Liquer and last but not least Black Cherry, Habanero, & Jack Daniels — flavors so intense they sent shivers of pleasure down our spines. New to the menu, the Profiteroles are fabulous for summer dessert: scoops of Makers Manhattan Villa Dolce Gelato between discs of light pastry.

If you prefer something sweeter, then their justifiably named Famous Toffee Sundae will do the trick. Their Candied Bacon S’More will ruin you forever: you just can’t match this confection of applewood smoked bacon, marshmallows, milk chocolate, and graham crackers in any s’more you’ll cook over a camp fire.

By the time we finished the last scoop of ice cream and the final bite of s’more, Jesse knew the answer we gave to the question he asked at the beginning of our meal had to be true: yes, it’s always this good at Fifty-Six.

Island Music Scene from page 33

foremost make people more aware of what we do, which is produce, make music, and record local artists. And the second thing is the make people more aware of the size of the music scene here.” Having been involved in the island music world for years, Nick and Vic can assuredly attest to the changes it has seen. “I think more than ever it’s the biggest music scene that we’ve ever had,” says Victor. Nick agrees and goes on to say, “I think we’ve been a big part of that growth because people know that if they work on a song they can come in and record it.”

With Island Vibes, a whole smattering of artists came to the studio, which was a pleasure for its owners.

“From this project we’ve met a whole number of artists I didn’t even know Victor in the studio were here,” says Victor. The album was a chance to collaborate with new artists and gain exposure to different genres. It was also a chance for listeners to become involved. To raise funds for the project, Garden Rock turned to Kickstarter.

Through the donations received on Kickstarter, as well as private donations and personal funds, Garden Rock has been able to record, produce, design, and distribute the album, intended for a July 15 release. In celebration of the community project, a release party has been planned for the same day from 1-7 PM at Cisco Brewery. Of course, there will be plenty of music provided by album participants.

July 10 - 16, 2014

Page 55

Nick and Victor have pre-released one track, for which Victor filled in on percussion, alongside bassist Erik Wendelken and Jacob Anthony Butler on vocals, guitar, viola, and cello. The song, “The Downeaster ‘Alexa’,” is a cover of Billy Joel’s 1990 track from the perspective of a down-on-his-luck Long Island fisherman. Butler sings the melancholy tune, which mentions Nantucket, with touching and heartfelt sweetness.

Victor often finds himself stepping into the recording room. Percussion, keyboard, guitar, flute—he’s done it all and has multiple instrument credits on Island Vibes. His brother, too, has often stepped up to the plate when there’s something missing. Vic describes Ben as an “on-call drummer.” His other job is giving advice. Nick says that Ben “has a good ear for production… When he does come in he always has something constructive to say.”

Ben lives in Boston and, as his father proudly tells, just graduated summa cum laude in Management/Finance from BU. Even off-island, Ben contributes to Garden Rock. “When he’s not here,” says Victor, “I’m always sending him mixes and he’ll give me his fresh ear advice, which is, to me, invaluable.”

Aside from contributing his musical talents to Island Vibes, Victor continues to record his own music. In October 2013, Victor released the album This Place. A mix of electronic and acoustic rock, the tracks flaunt his various skills as a musician, producer, and sound engineer. The latter two, though, are where Victor’s main interest lies.

For Victor, production and engineering is a fascinating experience that is constantly evolving. “When someone comes in, you never know where it’s gonna go,” he says. “It’s a lot of playing by feel, experimenting until you find what works.” In the studio, Victor tries to help artists make their work to sound live. “We’re trying to capture something really rare,” he says.

When reflecting on the success of Garden Rock, father and son look to each other as the source. “It got a life of its own mainly because of Victor and his skills,” insists Nick. Victor credits the vision of his father against his own technical perspective. “If it weren’t for my father, none of this would be possible.” Either way, Garden Rock has been a rewarding, collaborative experience that has no end in sight. “It’s a serious, addicting hobby,” jokes Nick. After the release of Island Vibes, Nick and Victor plan to continue doing what they’ve been doing all along: playing, writing, recording, and producing.

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.
