Dance Festival Showcases Classic & Contemporary For five days starting Tuesday, July 24, the Nantucket Atheneum Dance Festival again brings internationally known talent to our island for lectures, films, performances, classes, and community events. The festival culminates in two extraordinary performances at 6 pm on Friday, July 27 and Saturday, July 28, in the Nantucket High School Auditorium.

This year’s performances feature 17 remarkable dancers from the American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Houston Ballet, and the Pacific Northwest Ballet. Tyler Angle, Principal Dancer with the New York City Ballet, is returning as Artistic Director for the festival. The dance program includes nine pieces that feature a classic work from George Balanchine as well as contemporary pieces from Melissa Barak, Crystal Pite, Jean-Christoph Maillot, Christopher Wheeldon, Stanton Welch, Pam Tanowitz, and a new work from Alex Goodwin.

In addition to the two evening performances, there will be a free screening of the documentary film Danseur on Tuesday, July 24 at 5 pm in the Great Hall of the Atheneum. The film explores the gender barrier for boys interested in pursuing ballet. Director Scott Gormley will be present for Q & A following the film.

A dance-themed Story & Craft for children ages 4-10 will be held at the Nantucket Atheneum on Wednesday, July 25 at 9:45 am and again at 11 am This program is an excellent primer for the Children’s Performance & Program on Friday, July 27 at 11 am, which gives children an opportunity to see world-class dancers perform and learn about ballet.

Author Makes Science Accessible

FROM NANTUCKET

Ă€

²

Award-winning author Dava Sobel is applauded for her ability to take complex scientific information, present it in a form understandable to most, and to humanize it by depicting the people who researched or observed or discovered it.

This Wednesday, July 25, Nantucket audiences will get to hear Sobel speak about her book The Glass Universe: How the Ladies of the Harvard Observatory took the Measure of the Stars at a lecture in the Nantucket Whaling Museum co-hosted by The Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association (MMA) and the Nantucket Historical Association. Admission is $25, and tickets are available at nha.org or by calling 508-228-1894. A reception and book signing will follow the lecture.

Sobel has worked as a New York Times science reporter and contributed to Harvard Magazine, Audubon, Discover, Life, Omni, and The New Yorker. Her newest book, The Glass Universe, was a New York Times Review Notable Book of 2017. It tells the story of the women who were hired as computers at the Harvard College Observatory from the late-1800s to mid-1900s. The director, Edward Pickering, believed that women were more conscientious and exacting workers. They worked in critical positions in the observatory and contributed to numerous scientific discoveries, including the development of the Draper Classification for stars, a star classification system that was adopted world-wide. As photography developed, the women were able to move away from calculating and began observing the night sky themselves. These women were able to determine what stars were made of, calculate the distances between stars, and categorize the stars. Some of the women went on to discover stars and even teach astronomy at Harvard, following in similar footsteps to Maria Mitchell. The Glass Universe has won critical acclaim.

Sobel has combined literature and the history of science in her books, including Galileo’s Daughter, which focuses on another woman, a nun, and her

Health, Wellness, and Women

July 19-25, 2018

2-HOUR GUIDED WILDERNESS HIKES • • • •

by Suzanne Daub In 2017 a trio of dynamic women on Nantucket—Meryl Bralower, Melanie Sablehaus, and Jeanine Borthwick—engaged with Nantucket Cottage Hospital to spearhead an effort to empower women on the island, visitors and residents, to take charge of their healthcare. “Did you know that 80% of all healthcare decisions are made by women?�

Bralower asked when we met at Corner Table recently to discuss their Women + Wellness program. “Our goal is to empower women to make the right decisions...[we want them] to know what to ask for from doctors.� “You need to know what you don’t know...We want to educate women so they can become more aware of their health and of the resources at Nantucket Cottage Hospital,� added Sablehaus.

Every seat was filled for the inaugural event last summer, and it was followed by more casual and locally-based off-season lectures about women’s health issues.

This year, on Monday afternoon, July 23, the second summer Women + Wellness gathering will be held in Great Harbor Yacht Club. Next week’s Women + Wellness event theme is “Skin, Bones, and the Microbiome,� and it will feature three renowned clinicians from Nantucket Cottage Hospital’s affiliate Massachusetts General Hospital.

Dermatologist Sandy Tsao, MD, will speak on “What You Need to Know as Your Skin Ages.� Assistant Director of the Stanbury Physician-Scientist Pathway, Marc N. Wein, MD, PhD, will talk about “Building Better Bones.� And “Our Microbiome, Ourselves� is the topic that Caroline Mitchell, MD, Assistant Professor, Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Biology, Mass General Hospital, will address.

These speakers were chosen based on their levels of knowledge and ex-

WALKING TOURS

by Dr. Sarah Treanor Bois

Providing Quality Tours Since 1998

Director of Research & Education at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation It’s lightning bug season on Nantucket, and the evening sky is now even more exciting.

Lighting bugs, or fireflies, have been lighting up the evening skies since around the fourth of July (perhaps a friendly competition with the fireworks?).

Just after dusk, many have been treated to their own local light show as hundreds of lightning bugs do their best “flash dance” impression. So what’s going on here? Why now? Why so many? And what’s really going on with those light up bottoms?

Fireflies and lightning bugs are common names for a family of beetles called Lampyridae. There are actually more than 150 species of fireflies in North America, and more than 2,000 worldwide. They generally divide into three groups based on how they attract mates. There are those that blink in quick flashes, those with long, slow glows, and those that don’t use light at all, but communicate by other means such as pheromones (chemical signals).

For the “blinkers,” each species “blinks” in a specific pattern, sort of like Morse code, to communicate with others of the same species. At this time of year, they are looking for mates, with the males flying around at dusk flashing specific patterns to attract females. It’s a dramatic love-dance with the firefly abdomen aglow as he searches for a mate. The females, meanwhile, rest on vegetation and generally do not fly. When she sees a male of her own species flashing the correct pattern, she flashes back. In this way, females have their choice of mates. If she doesn’t flash back, he cannot find her. She can literally “throw shade”!

How do they do it? The glow is actually a chemical reaction known as continued on page 14

I found a one hundred dollar bill. The fates pushed it up through the sand at Nobadeer at seven o’clock in the morning while my Boon Companion was out chasing a water bottle and the seagulls were waiting for me to leave an open bag of potato chips. I touched it as if it was connected to a hook and a long fishing line. But no fisherman reeled me in. I looked around for a Something Natural who may have lost it, and not finding him, I greeted the morning with a spring in my step and a feather in my cap.

I would love to believe that the Karma Chameleon left it for me, as payback for any number of petty annoyances and obstructions of my life. I would love to believe in a just and benevolent Chameleon who looks out for me and sends me tests and rewards. But I know enough about my life, and the lives of everyone around me, to know that I don’t deserve this. If there was a Karma Chameleon looking out for us, the guy riding the back of the Santos truck up and down Dave Street should find one of these every day, Truthfully, the cards were stacked so that I could find that money. In order to find a hundred dollar bill on the beach at Nobadeer, I had to be on Nantucket in the first place. Revere Beach has its own glories and treasures, but it doesn’t have a lot of rich Chads and Stacies who might get careless with that much cash in their pocket. Moreover, at seven in the morning, I am not cleaning the Boarding House of last night’s debris, nor am I mowing a lawn in Shimmo, nor am I driving a Sayle’s delivery truck. I was following a dog chasing a water bottle on a beach. That found Franklin came at the end of a long Rube Goldberg contraption of luck. The Karma Chameleon doesn’t owe me, I owe her. Ben Franklin on the Beach came to me because a long series of blessings led me there.

Either way, I took my windfall into town for an early breakfast. I adhere to the rule of eight. You can sit for breakfast anywhere on island as long as you arrive by eight. If you arrive even a few minutes after, the line will go out the door. Luck remained with me; I parked on India Street and was seated on a picnic table in the alley, next to the dumpster. I could watch the line build out front while I ordered a Thai Scramble.

I was sitting Brotherhood style, with a family from both New Jersey and Arizona. Mr. and Mrs. New Jersey had been coming to the island for decades and owned a house in Cisco. The next generation, Mr. and Mrs. Arizona, had been on island for two weeks with their young son and daughter. Their son sat between his two grandparents, while the daughter sat on her father’s lap.

The Family Arizona had had a wonderful two weeks on-island. Two weeks of swimming at Dionis and Fortieth Pole and playing at Ladies Beach. Two weeks of biking to and from town, two weeks of Cisco Brewers, and two weeks of intermittent internet. The fog and Comcast had kept the business world from impinging on sand and seagrass.

The two children were brown, tanned in the light of four adults that loved them. The young man wore a Toy Boat shirt and helped drive a fire truck beside his plate. His sister helped her father eat scrambled eggs. For her, the highlight of her trip was catching turtles and crabs at the bridge in Madaket.

Grandpa gratefully accepted the bill.

With my freshly found bill in my pocket, I could see why. Here he was, on Nantucket, with two generations. Everyone was healthy. Everyone was continued on page 26

Craft Beer Craze

July 19-25, 2018

Enjoy a Complimentary Tasting!

by Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie

Now is a great time to be an adventurous beer drinker in the United States.

While Americans are drinking less beer than even a few years ago, we are drinking better products that quench our thirst in more ways than one.

A craft (or micro) brewery produces small amounts of beer and is typically independently owned by the brewer and perhaps a few investors, unlike the big beer houses that mass-produce their products and are owned by a corporation. Many of the smaller breweries begin as side projects in someone’s basement or garage with an emphasis on quality, flavor, and brewing technique, and eventually grow their experience and exploration into a bigger space. Craft brews have made themselves approachable enough with their fun names and cartoon-like labels. Their facilities also tend to be familyfriendly and offer a festive beer garden ambiance with food, music, and games for the kiddos. (Dogs, if permitted, must be leashed, however!)

Whether you want to become a craft brew IPA expert, or are just starting to learn more about the world of local microbreweries, here are some insights into a handful of different styles of India Pale Ales available from some of the most sought-after breweries in the Northeast region. Get them while you CAN as their limited, small-batch production numbers and high-quality reputations will have them off the shelves as quickly as summer will be over!

GOOD TIME

Who needs a neighborhood bar when you can have a neighborhood brewery? Finback Brewery is located in the heart of Queens in a residential area.

It is a small warehouse that rolls open the doors not only to the production facility, but also to a small taproom featuring a rotating selection of at least a dozen of Finback’s small batch brews. Their focus is mainly on hop forward (meaning the spiciness of bitterness of beer, not like a bunny…), sour and dark beers. FINBACK IPA is considered a bitter, dank, and hoppy brew. It is made with Chinook hops from the Pacific Northwest, often used in IPAs to provide the bittering quality in the beer, along with great aromatics. Columbus hops also add to this balanced bitterness, along with earthy and faint citrus characteristics. At 7.2% alcohol by volume (ABV), this beer weighs very heavy on

Performances of the Drama Desk-nominated musical Daddy Long Legs continue into mid-August. Daddy Long Legs is the story of an orphan who goes to college in 1908 financed by an unexpected benefactor. The show is fun for the whole family, and stars Brian Krinsky (The Underpants, Constellations, It’s a Wonderful Life) and Lindsay Alexandra Carter, (Juliet in last year’s Romeo and Juliet).

Curtain opens at 7:30 pm for this 2-hour play, and the White Heron Theatre’s Bard Bar opens at 6:30 pm if you’d like a pre-show beverage.

Starting July 24, Daddy Long Legs will run in repertory with Private Lives, a wildly funny classic romp about love and marriage—Noel Coward at his very best.

White Heron Theatre is Nantucket’s only professional Equity theatre company and their productions are performed in the theatre they build at 5 N. Water Street. For details about White Heron Theatre’s entire 2018 season and for tickets call the box office at 508-825-5268 or visit www.whiteherontheatre.org.

pertise as well as for their abilities to keep an audience engaged: these will not be dry, academic lectures. Topics are designed to appeal to a range of ages, and the talks will address actions women can take to help themselves.

Each talk will be followed by a Q&A open to inquiries by audience members.

Last summer’s event was attended by an enthusiastic crowd: “Even the doctors thought it was extraordinary,” said Sablehaus, commenting on the engagement of the audience.

“We want women to know they can take control of their health,” said Bralower, “we want women to be their own advocates as well as advocates for their family members.”

In addition to the public event, the presenting physicians will also meet with Nantucket Cottage Hospital physicians.

July 19-25, 2018

This year’s event will be held from 4:15 to 7 pm on July 23, and tickets are $75 at nantuckethospital.org/womenwellness and include cocktails and light bites. Hospital administrators and event coordinators have secured scholarships for women unable to afford the $75 ticket. Courtney O’Neill, executive director of the NCH Foundation, said that anyone with an interest in attending is encouraged to get in contact with Nantucket Cottage Hospital.

Anyone wishing to sponsor an attendee can click the “Pay It Forward” link on the website and pay for a ticket for someone else.

Nantucket Community Television will film and broadcast the event, making it available to all who wish to view the Women + Wellness speakers on Nantucket channel 18 and on the web.

Both Bralower and Sablehaus expressed the hope that Women + Wellness will help women not only make connections and learn about their own health, but will also “build community’ and be the start of an association of island women who will continue the pursuit of knowledge and advocacy.

bioluminescence. The lightning bug controls the reaction, and thus the pattern, via its light organ. The release of oxygen controls the reaction, so in the presence of oxygen and other necessary chemicals, the abdomen lights up. Without oxygen, there is no light.

There are three main types of flashing fireflies; Photinus, Pyractomena, and Photuris. There are about 15 species of Photinus fireflies in New England: they are small and produce a yellow-green flash. The Pyractomena fireflies are about the same size but produce an amber flash that looks like a campfire ember. The Photuris fireflies are bigger (about an inch long) with a green flash.

In some parts of the world, fireflies will blink in unison as a group. This is famously seen with tropical fireflies in Southeast Asia. It has also been seen in the Great Smokey Mountains, where people gather every year to see the show. Imagine seeing a sea of green blinking fireflies all in unison! Researchers are not positive about why this happens, but the main hypothesis is that they are attracting mates as a group rather than individually.

Fireflies are associated with summer in New England as this is their mating season and the best time to see them. On Nantucket, they typically appear in late June and early July. While it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact date fireflies will appear every year, researchers know that temperature and precipitation have something to do with it. Fireflies love hot and humid weather, so we can understand why the fireflies have been lighting up Nantucket the past two weeks. It’s one consolation for the humidity!

Weather not only plays a role in the when you see firefly flashes, but how many flashes too. On warm and humid evenings, lightning bugs can light up a field as if it were a Christmas tree! But on cooler nights when air temperatures take a dip into the 50s, don’t be surprised if you wait a minute or longer to see a single flash. Why? Fireflies, like most insects, are cold-blooded (meaning they depend on heat from their surrounding environment to help them function), so their activity peaks when temperatures rise, and slows continued on page 15

when temperatures drop.

In many yards across the island, the firefly show has been a treat especially followed by the starry skies; a particular benefit to being 30 miles out to sea. Light pollution in more densely population areas may be a particular threat to fireflies which use light to communicate. The same light pollution affects star-gazing as well.

Pesticide use, habitat destruction, as well as light pollution have taken their toll on fireflies throughout their range. Because they are so charismatic and easy to observe, the Massachusetts Audubon Society is spearheading the citizen science program, Firefly Watch. Along with researchers from Tufts University, this project was started in 2008 and uses citizen observations to help learn more about firefly geographic distribution and population patterns.

If you are interested in participating or learning more about this program, check out massaudubon.org/get-involved/citizen-science/firefly-watch. All you need to do is spend 10 minutes once a week during firefly season observing fireflies in your area. All observations (even “no data) are valuable!

Fireflies around your yard are not only a fabulous evening light show, they help control other insect pests. As larvae, they are predatory and eat other insects, snails, and worms. As adults, they may eat other insects, but mainly feed on plant nectar. To attract fireflies (and other beneficial insects) to your yard, limit or restrict pesticides as well as the wattage of outside light.

It’s best to observe lightning bugs just after dusk. With a little practice, you can learn to recognize many fireflies by their flash patterns. Firefly Watch also has good information on how to differentiate between species based on flash patterns.

Because lightning bugs communicate with light, please don’t shine flashlights or other bright lights near them. It will confuse them and interfere with their nightly routine and possibly their mating chances!

FOR

THE JUNIOR IN

ALL

OF

US

If you want to have a beer that doesn’t offer such a kick, then a session IPA is your answer. This style of beer has a relatively low alcohol content and is therefore suitable for drinking over an extended period or if you just want one to quench your thirst after a long day of surfing the waves of Nantucket. RADIANT PIG JUNIOR SESSION IPA offers the best parts of an IPA, but in a smaller taste package. At only 4.8% ABV, the alcohol and bitterness content is scaled back a bit, but still packed with plenty of citrus, floral, hoppy goodness. This is a blend of milder hop varieties of Mosaic, Falconers Flight, El Dorado, and Centennial. The brewery is inspired by art music, culture and stuff related to NYC, hence the crazy labels! They don’t currently have a brewery space open to the public in the city yet, but a location is in the works for this East Coast style IPA producer.

TAKING

A

DIFFERENT ROAD

Life is full of choices and sometimes we choose to take the road not taken. This is what led one brewery to set up shop in an old abandoned manufacturing building in order to not only make their own beer, but also function as a co-op space in order to help other small breweries get their beer off the ground. Quite apropos since the warehouse used to be the US Baird Building, which manufactured the world-renowned Sikorsky helicopters. For those Grey Lady kind of days when you want a beer

July 19-25, 2018

as thick as the fog, TWO ROADS TWO JUICY UNFILTERED DOUBLE IPA is the road you should take.

This unfiltered, cloudy “New England style Double IPA” uses generous amounts of Hallertauer Blanc, Citra, & Mandarina Bavaria hops. The result is a “juicy,” fully-charged DIPA (8.2% ABV) with notes of grapefruit, pine, lychee, orange & tangerine against a soft malt backdrop.

OUR BACKYARD FAVORITE One of the many great attributes about being a small brewery and not needing a large scale warehouse is they can literally pop-up in the some of the most unexpected of places. Like in the middle of an island, on a large plot of land with nothing much else around near a farm and with the ocean waves near by. This is a short and sweet description of Nantucket’s own local brewery. While they have their well-known year round staples, this year’s newest beer release is guaranteed to beat the heat and have you crushing it in no time. CISCO BREWERS GRIPAH is a refreshing Grapefruit IPA that is tastier than a shandy and more refreshing than that lime in your import beer. This beer is made from a strategic blend of hops, like your grandmother’s secret recipe, using Chinook, Amarillo, Galaxy, El Dorado, and Citra hops. Grapefruit zest and dried grapefruit peel are added during and after brewing to add that citrusy zing that makes it so appealing (5.5% ABV, 50 IBUs). Cisco Brewers is open every day, year-round and is dog and kid friendly - worth the visit while on the island!

As you enjoy these beer selections and more from our featured micro-breweries, we hope you also reveal in the positive side effects that they have to offer of building community and creating good times for the family through a great beer experience.

happy. Luck had granted him a house on Nantucket large enough for his family. Luck had given him enough time to give his grandchildren the pleasure of capturing turtles in the stream in Madaket. His blessings floated about him like fireflies in the musky air of a privet hedge. The only appropriate emotion was gratitude.

Unfortunately, my one hundred dollar bill broke down over breakfast, and, over the course of the day, it became several things that weren’t quite gratitude. My Great Aunt pointed that out to me.

Aunt Mary is 97 years old and remains the only member of her generation who can box my ears when she so chooses. She lives in her duplex on Eaton Street Extension in Wakefield, surrounded by memories, baseball cards, and weapons. Her life is guided by a housecleaner, who has a winking knowledge of her wishes, and two visiting nurses for whom she gets muffins delivered every other day when they visit.

“Why didn’t you call?”

“I didn’t know if you were here.”

“You would have known if you called.”

“True.”

“You and your brother and your families were two blocks away and you didn’t call?”

“Sorry.”

“You should be.”

My Aunt Mary was at my home when my parents returned with me from the hospital. She was the school nurse in my high school, and was in charge of making sure I was truly sick before being sent home. She was the person my mother came to when she got her cancer diagnosis, the one who everyone else used to translate medical speak for “You’re going to die.” She was the person I drove past. Aunt Mary was a hundred dollar bill that I was not grateful for.

Luck comes to us every day. We get something we don’t deserve, whether it be found money, extra time, or a grand slam in the tenth inning. The fireflies circle us every night. We need only stop and breath in the musky air.

Summer Hours: Monday-Saturday, 11am - last call @ 7pm; Sunday, noon - last call @ 6pm Tastings, tours, live music and good times! Kids, snacks, & leashed dogs welcome!

At Cisco Brewers we make all grain beers in our tiny brewery. Located in the same courtyard as Triple Eight Distillery, home of the Triple Eight Vodka, and Nantucket Vineyard, we are the only local producer of fresh beer, delicious wine, and smooth spirits.

Big Beers, Delicious Wine & Smooth Spirits available at all the best island restaurants and liquor stores FREE! in-season shuttle every 15 minutes from Visitor Services starting at 12pm We now have expanded off-street parking past the Brewery on the right.

July 20 is a Free Fun Friday at MMA Thanks to a generous grant from the Free Fun Friday Initiative, all of The Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association’s (MMA) facilities will be open to the public for free this Friday, July 20 At the Maria Mitchell Association Aquarium at 28 Washington Street, visitors can observe and learn about local fish, crabs, and the rare blue and orange lobsters. The Natural Science Museum at 7 Milk Street is home to live animals such as turtles, snakes, and a tortoise and provides insight into the natural history and unique ecosystems of Nantucket Island. The Mitchell House, 1 Vestal Street, where Maria Mitchell was born and raised as a member of a Quaker family in the 19th century, provides visitors with an understanding of how Maria Mitchell’s family lived and how Mitchell became the fiercely independent and educated woman that she was at a time when that was unusual in most of America. The Vestal Street Observatory at 3 Vestal will offer its 2pm-only tour free on this Free Fun Friday. And if it is a clear night on Friday, people can look through the research-grade telescopes to observe the night sky at the Loines Observatory at 59 Milk Street Extension.

Maria Mitchell properties are always free for members but are $10 for a property pass and $10 for Open Nights at Loines Observatory. David Gagnon, the Executive Director of the Maria Mitchell Association said that “On July 20, you can experience, learn, discover, and ignite a passion for science and history as you visit the Maria Mitchell Association’s facilities for free. Free Fun Fridays provides an awesome way to experience the science, education, and fun that the MMA has to offer.”

The Free Fun Friday Program was created by the Highland Street Foundation to increase access and enrichment programs to children in Massachusetts. All of the venues offer free admission to everyone. The program started in 2009 and since then, more than 900,000 visitors have visited the participating venues as part of the Free Fun Friday initiative.

Italian weekend wear at its finest, for him and for her!

Satsuma A5 Wagyu Strip Loin

that you simply won’t see anywhere else, so get to TOPPER’s and try them before they’re gone.

One such dish is the Salt Meadow Lamb (cover photo). This exceptional cut is inspired by lamb raised on the coasts of Normandy, where the floodprone seaside pastures contain distinctly high levels of sodium and iodine.

The lambs raised on these grasses are renowned for their tenderness, as the minerals affect the meat on a cellular level, giving it a fine grain and the ability to retain more moisture. Farmers in Quebec reproduce this effect with a special diet fortified by seaweed. Incredibly juicy and tender, it is served alongside summer beans, sweet roasted peppers, crumbled black olives, and dollops of tart yogurt.

Locally caught and perfectly seared Nantucket Striped Bass shares a plate with slightly charred and superbly tender Spanish octopus, stuffed squash blossom, pickled fennel, and an unreal saffron bouillabaisse. Vegetarian or not, the Potato Gnocchi “Primavera” is not to be missed. The bright, colorful crispness of summer squash, peas, and carrots are balanced by oyster mushrooms and summer truffle butter, while delightfully doughy nibbles of gnocchi soak in the rich stew-like sauce.

Of course we ordered the Lobster, and, of course, it was spectacular.

Poached in butter, it is dreamy and decadent with English peas, hearts of palm, carrots, and a golden madras curry sauce that had us in awe. The sweetness in the shellfish was turned up by the symphony of spices in the sauce.

The star of the evening, the dish of a lifetime and the one for the books, was the Satsuma A5 Wagyu Strip Loin. On the scale used to rate prime beef, A5 is the almost unattainable—the absolute highest possible score a cut

July 19-25, 2018

of beef can achieve. A simple sear melts the marbling of fat into the meat, yielding a spoon-tender sublime steak dinner of the finest kind. And somehow the accompaniments stand up to it. A morsel of short rib ragout in a crisp shell sits atop chanterelle mushrooms, young vegetables, and a generous drizzle of sauce perigueux, a luxurious final touch flavored with Madeira, truffles, and black pepper.

Just as we finished our last bites, the shadows on the table grew longer and the sun began to set. Patrons left their seats, made a dash for the grass to bid farewell to anNantucket Striped Bass other day on Nantucket. When we returned, fresh, neatly folded napkins sat patiently on our placemats, and we decided to discuss dessert.

Pastry chef Giancarlo D’Attili works magic behind the scenes at TOPPER’s. His final courses are thoughtful, unique, and all-around divine. In addition to desserts, the menu offers a wide selection of cordials, fortified wines, whiskies, and more.

The warm, nutty flavor of the Almond Financier is brought to life with luscious, sweet bing cherries, toasted meringue, and a touch of tartness in buttermilk-vanilla ice cream. The Raspberry Napolean reminded us of the fruit that will be ready in our own backyard very soon. The flavor of raspberry sings when combined with Champagne cream and a fresh compote.

The picture-perfect presentation of the Chocolate Parfait tastes even better than it looks. A piping hot steady stream of chocolate sauce is poured over to melt its way through a disk of dark chocolate and onto sinfully scrumptious devil’s food cake, snaps of salt in a candied pretzel crumble and caramel ice cream. But our favorite finisher of the evening is the Rhubarb Flan. Like a sweet stroll through a summer garden, pretty pink and terrifically tart rhubarb compote rests easy on dense vanilla flan. The mint ice cream on the side is something wonderful, tasting and smelling of real fresh mint, nothing like the store bought variety.

TOPPER’s is the place for special occasions, or occasions that you want to make special. This season marks their 30th anniversary — as if you needed a reason to celebrate.

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.
