Third Annual Women + Wellness

by Catherine Macallister “Did we empower you? Do you have new information that you can make better decisions?” asks Melanie Sabelhaus, one of the co-founders, and cochairs to the guests of the 2018 Women+Wellness event. Her questions, met with thunderous applause, show that it is clear the second annual event was a success: a hope for this year as well.

Heading into its third summer, Women+ Wellness aims to provide a comprehensive look at ways that women can control their health and handle the unexpected. The Nantucket Cottage Hospital and its affiliate Massachusetts General Hospital will be presenting this year’s seminar at The Dreamland on Monday, July 22 from 4:30 to 7pm. Attendees can expect two presenters to share on important topics: “What You Need to Know: Women’s Stroke and Telemedicine” and “Living with Serious Illness.” The committee is “very excited to be at Dreamland,” its new venue for the 2019 event. Meryl Bralower, co-founder and chair of 2019 Women+Wellness explained that they have “honed the event…chosen speakers that can appeal to a wide variety of audiences.” Guests will enjoy the audio and visual aspects of this year’s presentation and the fact that the presenters will be visible to everyone.

Additionally, attendees can meet with the guest lecturers as well as Nantucket physicians after the lecture in the Harborview Room for passed hors d’oeuvres and wine.

Meryl Bralower, Jeanine Borthwick, and Melanie Sabelhaus were inspired to start Women+ Wellness in 2017 because they were “motivated to help with effective decision making and provide up-to-the-minute decisions” regarding healthcare. They also wanted to highlight the importance of Nantucket Cottage Hospital’s affiliation with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) by providing access to doctors from MGH who could help to create “interesting

Wop ba-ba lu-mop and wop bam boom! Grab your lettermans, saddle shoes, and leather jackets and prepare to be transported back the 1950s at Rydell High. The cast of Grease can do it all: sing, dance, and act, making them the latest triple threat at the Theatre Workshop of Nantucket. This satirical take on high school life in the 50s will leave you laughing, singing, and bopping along to the classic and wildly popular Grease by Warren Casey and Jim Jacobs.

Sandy (Melissa Brausch) and Danny (Abraham Shaikh) first meet on the beach before senior year of high school, and after a summer romance, they are certain they won’t see each other again. Sandy shares her summer escapades with her neighbor Frenchy (Brooke Sweeney) and the Pink Ladies, while Danny shares his version with his gang, The T-birds, during the memorable Summer Nights. Then they realize they are at the same school, and Sandy, a saddle shoe wearing, demure young lady, sees Danny in his true form: a wise cracking Greaser.

Trying to fit in, Sandy joins the cheerleading team, tries to get in with the Pink Ladies, even tries a cigarette: “Go ahead and try it, it ain’t gonna kill you,” says Rizzo to Sandy, drawing knowing laughs from the audience.

Danny and Sandy attempt to get back together throughout the show, but it can’t happen until they are tested by drama, the desire to grow up, and their impending graduation. Melissa Brausch and Abraham Shaikh make a memorable duo. Brausch’s sweet and ultimately defiant portrayal of Sandy, combined with her strong and clear voice will have you taking Sandy’s side as she tries to find somewhere to fit in. Shaikh nails the “tough guy” attitude of Danny, while also showing off a softer side as he tries to win back Sandy.

Many audience members will remember the 1970s movie version of continued on page 14

Nantucket Beachcombing

July 18-24, 2019

2-HOUR GUIDED WILDERNESS HIKES • • • •

by Dr. Sarah Treanor Bois Director of Research & Education at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation The recent hot July weather has made for some great beach going. Having a young child, I spend a lot of time on the north shore beaches, where the waves never get higher than five inches unless you count boat wakes.

These beaches (Dionis, 40th Pole, Water Tower, and Steps, for example) are great for lazy beach walks and wonderful beachcombing.

Among the flotsam and jetsam of the beach wrack line, many treasures from the sea await. Searching for sea glass is ever popular. However, recycling and a heightened sense of litter, I find more of my son’s “sea glass� are actual shards rather than the smooth, cloudy sea glass of my childhood.

Beyond sea glass, the beach is littered with riches from the sea. Some are common, others rare, and most have some origin with a living thing. One thing is definitely true; none of it is boring! Even the most common of scallop shells have different patterns of growth and colors.

Here are some of my favorite beachcombing treasures found on Nantucket and a little bit about their origins.

Slipper Shell – The common slipper shell (Crepidula fornicata) is usually found in large numbers on the north shore of Nantucket. About two inches or less in size, they can be gray, white, or pink, or a combination. They are usually found stacked on top of each other when they wash ashore. When in a stack, the young on top are male, the bottom is female and the ones in the middle are hermaphrodites. The top males fertilize the slipper shell below and the sexes alternate back and forth to the bottom of the stack.

Sometimes called “Portuguese sweet meats,� slipper snails have been described as “poor man’s scallops.� To get at the meat, slide your finger underneath the muscle (foot) and pinch pulling towards the wider end to free it continued on page 24

Replacing Island NANTUCKET Fun and Folly WALKING TOURS

by Robert P. Barsanti

Providing Quality Tours Since 1998

The carnival used to come here. Sometime in the middle of July, the rides would come over on the freight boat in the middle of the night, assemble at the Steamship Wharf, and then parade out to the field in Tom Nevers. It was not quite the Great Parade of the Elephants through Queens to Madison Square Garden, but if you had children of a certain age, the appearance, construction, and opening of the carnival marked one of the peaks of summer. As the guy with the wallet, I was not a huge fan of the carnival. I could blow a hundred dollars in a half hour in exchange for a bunch of photos and a greasy napkin: five dollars a ride is a steep tax.

Of course, ten years later, I have lost the napkin but I still have the pictures.

And they aren’t worth the hundred dollars they cost, but that’s okay. The smiles on the Trucks, or the Train Station or Sizzler are beaming and fresh. We would push to get out to Tom Nevers by five o’clock to miss the big crowds and then slip out while my wallet still had some bacon in it.

The People of Nantucket welcomed the carnival. All of those folks whom I bounced into in the Stop and Shop in February came out to Tom Nevers for the Fried Dough. We smiled at each other, admired our tans, and walked on in case Amy Poehler was out with her kids tonight as well.

But it hasn’t been back for several years now. The boys are older and are less likely to be entertained on the Gator as they were back then, but the darkness of the south shore could still use the neon lights of a carnival and the swing of the ferris wheel. We have lost the folly of the carnival, and we have replaced it with….a yoga festival?

In our slow progression from One Crazy Summer to a Plutocrats Playground, we have slowly dropped the folly and foolishness and replaced it with focus and fitness. Not too long ago, the events of a Nantucket summer began with Figawi, then Ironman, the Carnival, the Waiter/Waitress race, Airband, then finished with the Madequecham Jam and the Demo Derby. All of those events have been torn out by the roots and supplanted with the hardy perennials of auctions and auditions for Hedge Funders Households. Wine festival, Garden Festival, Yoga Festival, Antique Show: all come with platinum level branding opportunities, velvet ropes, and professionalism. And in that press for sponsorships and investment, we lost the fun and folly. We don’t hand out red cups anymore, just business cards. The Figawi logo has spun its telescope.

Apparently, we know where we are now.

Nantucket has changed...summer has changed...American society has changed. On one hand, the island no longer has the public drunken celebrations of the past. On the other hand, the primary summer events are shielded by hedges, velvet ropes, and valets. The gray-headed grandparents of the island came here when folly and foolishness were at high tide. Their grandchildren can’t leap off the Straight Wharf roof into harbor, they are trying to get externships in China and Costa Rica. They can’t come to the island to paint and wait tables, the rooms they would have rented are on AirBnB for $600 a night.

I suppose this makes continued on page 23

Island artist Kathleen A. Duncombe has long been a part of the Nantucket arts scene, creating and curating and even teaching. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been particularly drawn to island talent, and 25 years ago she opened Made on Nantucket, featuring original art, serigraphs, jewelry, ornaments, and gifts by a variety of Nantucket artists and island craftspeople. This season she moved her shop into a new, larger location down Old South Wharf to #20 and has expanded her offerings of unique gifts and art.

One of the several new lines this summer in Made on Nantucket are exquisite hand-woven shawls and heirloom throws by islander Karin Sheppard of Island Weaves. And who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a one-of-a-kind pochette to complete your summer outfit: youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a selection of hand-sewn leather pochettes for just $100 to $125 in this shop on Old South Wharf.

According to Kathleen, â&#x20AC;&#x153;art isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a canvas: it can be photography, craft, jewelry, textiles,â&#x20AC;? and Made on Nantucket demonstrates that in their stunning selection. In addition to art and items made on Nantucket, she also carries the largest collection of Bakelite on the East Coast and a gorgeous array of Native American turquoise and estate jewelry.

Most of what Kathleen offers is exclusive to Made on Nantucket. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss a visit! The shop is open daily at 20 Old South Wharf; 508-228-0110.

THE Place to Shop for Kids For nearly 30 years, Pinwheels has been known as the premiere shop for kids on Nantucket. Parents shopping there in 2019 once wore the fun summer sets and party clothes they are now buying for their children. This onestop shop for clothing, toys, and accessories offers an ever-changing assortment of carefully chosen stylish and fun pieces for little ones from newborn to age 14, and it is a favorite stop for grandparents and parents.

Located on Centre Street, Pinwheels carries several lines of clothing, including IKKS, Carrement Beau, and Ntuck. The Petit Bateau raincoats have been especially popular this year, and the Ntuck dresses are a great addition to any summer wardrobe. While it may be sad to think of summer ending, the Pinwheels Fall Collection will soon arrive in the store so you can send your kids back to school in style.

This year, Pinwheels is thrilled to also be selling treasures from another island landmark shop that closed last winter: The Toy Boat. The Harbor Collection has just arrived, joining a collection of fairies and fairy houses designed by Loren Brock. In the true spirit of community, this collaboration between longtime island favorites means Toy Boat classics are still available to Nantucket parents & grandparents.

Pinwheels has something special for every child in the family and is located in the heart of Nantucket at 32 Centre Street. They are open MondaySaturday 10am to 5pm and Sunday 11am to 4pm. For exclusive clothing and toy lines, including the former Toy Boat collectibles and toys, add Pinwheels as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;must visitâ&#x20AC;? while shopping around downtown.

How to Get More Out of Nantucket ReMain Nantucket is launching a multi-media campaign designed to encourage people to walk, bike, or ride public transportation into downtown Nantucket this summer. Visitors, seasonal residents, and year-round community members will be challenged to get more out of the Island by experiencing it without a car.

“In cooperation with the Town of Nantucket and their “Getting Around Nantucket” campaign, we want to encourage people to consider arriving on the Island without a car and, if they have one, not to bring it downtown this summer,” said ReMain Nantucket executive director Cecil Barron Jensen. “From riding the WAVE shuttle bus or walking along the historic streets and lanes to traveling on one of Nantucket’s many bike paths, we firmly believe that Nantucket is much more interesting when you’re not behind the steering wheel of a car.”

The campaign also includes collaborations, incentives, and special giveaways in conjunction with the Lodging Association, the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce, Nantucket.net: the Insider’s Guide to Nantucket, real estate offices, and bike rental shops. We are also highlighting and encouraging people to download and try the bike and walking touring app TrACK, available at all online app stores.

“The campaign is concentrated on targeting our community in July and August,” added Jensen. “Ultimately, we’d like to change people’s habits and have them consider coming downtown throughout the year without cars. Now, with the WAVE running year round, there is no reason not to hop on and free yourself from the hassle of parking.”

At the end of the year, ReMain wants to determine the impact of the marketing efforts. “The Nantucket Data Platform will help us evaluate the campaign and measure if we have been successful in reducing the number of cars and traffic downtown this summer,” said Jensen.

ReMain Nantucket’s mission is to strengthen the lasting social, economic, environmental vitality of downtown Nantucket for future generations, while preserving its unique character and spirt. Access to public transportation and bike paths have been central of the work of ReMain Nantucket since its inception in 2008.

Sustainable Wine Selections

TOPPER’S BY WATER

COOL. CASUAL. COMPLIMENTARY. Arrive in style for lunch or dinner aboard The Wauwinet Lady.

Complimentary cruise departing from White Elephant.

Nantucket is home to a plethora of beautiful home gardens and bountiful farm fresh harvests, and summertime is when everything is in full bloom.

Maintaining these fields of plenty takes time, effort, and patience. Keeping it green on our island is more important than ever these days. We must be stewards of the land and carefully choose how we cultivate it for generations ahead to continue to enjoy all of its beauty and splendor.

The same could be said about the life cycle of working on a vineyard, where the grapes are growing and tended to in order to mature to just the right ripeness for picking. How vignerons decide to care for their land not only affect this year’s harvest, but also the health and vitality of the soil for yours to come. Here are summertime selections of sustainable wines for you to enjoy this summer that are also considerate to Mother Earth.

DRINKING STARS A property once occupied by Cistercian monks who planted vines there, the Drappier Family has its roots in this 17th century domaine and the 8th generation currently represents the domaine. Hundreds of years have not diminished the passion behind this Champagne family and what they have done to continue to produce quality wine and soundly take care of their land.

The vineyards of Drappier are located in Urville, in the Côtes des Bar region of southeast Champagne, which is slightly closer to Chablis than to the epicenters of Reims and Épernay and where Pinot Noir dominates as the main grape instead of Chardonnay.

Drappier Carte d’Or Champagne Non-Vintage represents a perfect example of all the aromas of the noble grape variety Pinot Noir, which is at least 80% of the blend. This red grape that produces white juice could be considered a trademark in this region. It not only offers great structure to the wine,

The Brotherhood is a favorite place for over four generations of Islanders! Our newly renovated patio is an oasis in the middle of town.

We use the freshest, natural, and New England sourced ingredients.

programs…that are a little more in depth” with the hope that attendees would receive “more information for healthcare decisions” says Bralower. “We want a lot of community participation,” says Bralower, a longtime summer resident who has worked hard with the host committee to ensure that this event can be enjoyed by all Nantucket residents.

“They are both outstanding,” says Bralower, commenting on the abilities of the two lecturers who will be leading this year’s event. Guest lecturer, Dr. Lee H. Schwamm is the Executive Vice Chairman of the Department of Neurology at MGH and the Director of the MGH Comprehensive Stroke Center and Director of the MGH Center for TeleHealth. He will focus on the importance of telehealth, which enables the Nantucket Hospital Emergency Department to communicate through telemedicine technology with an MGH doctor to determine the next best steps. Guests will learn how crucial telemedical technology is in situations like having a stroke, especially when medical transport may not be immediately available due to weather-related issues. There will also be an opportunity to hear from the Director of the NCH Emergency Department, Faith Frable, who will follow Dr. Schwamm with a few minutes of commentary.

Dr. Vicki Jackson, Chief of the Division of Palliative Care at MGH and the second lecturer, will be covering “Living with Serious Illness,” an in depth look at the difference between palliative care and hospice. For many, this topic can be difficult, but the importance of understanding how palliative care can increase the quality and length of life will help those suffering from chronic or serious illness to understand how they can lead the best life. “It’s about living” says Bralower, hoping that the talk led by Jackson will illuminate audiences on the differences. Like Dr. Schwamm, Dr. Jackson will be followed by a commentary by Nantucket’s own Program Director and Nurse Practitioner of Palliative and Support Care of Nantucket, Dianne Bein, who will comment on Nantucket’s relationship to palliative care.

“It doesn’t have to be you” says Bralower, highlighting the importance of continued on page 13

attending this event, “it can be your husband, wife, mother, sibling.” Knowing what to do in an emergency situation and preparing for health situations at any age is important to being proactive in taking control of your health. With so many discussions about broader topics like stroke care, chronic illnesses and telemedicine, it seemed important that this year’s event be a littler bit different and “not limited,” meaning that wives are encouraged to bring their spouses or family members so that everyone in the household will understand how something like a stroke, may be different for a woman than it is for a man. “Women are the decision makers,” says Bralower, and this year’s event aims to educate everyone so that informed healthcare decisions can be made.

The event costs $75 a ticket, with the option of paying it forward by purchasing an “Angel” ticket: a ticket that will be given to someone who cannot afford to attend. The biggest change that comes for the event this year is its move to become more of a fundraiser. Business sponsorships are encouraged and available at many different levels. Through fundraising and sponsorships, Women + Wellness is hoping to raise enough money to install a “Healing Labyrinth,” a garden that serves to provide a few moments of peace and serenity for patients at the hospital. It is a way for Women+Wellness to become a “concrete part of the new hospital,” a connection that remains at the heart of their mission as they endeavor to highlight the importance of the association between MGH and NCH, bringing “the best and brightest to our little island,” says Bralower. The evolution of Women and Wellness over the last few years has been tremendous and as they continue to grow we hope that they continue to share their passion for informed healthcare and healthcare decisions with all Nantucket residents.

Women+Wellness will be held in The Dreamland on Monday, July 22. To purchase tickets, visit nantuckethospital.org/womenandwellness.

Grease from page 4

Grease with popular songs like Summer Nights, We Go Together, and Greased Lightnin’. You will find yourself humming along, and tapping your feet as the cast delivers each song with vigor. The talents in each individual character, as well as the ensemble work in the Pink Ladies and T-Birds, help to carry this show to new heights. The cool Kenickie (Zach Stark) and the T Birds deliver a spirited Greased Lightnin’ aboard their junk “car.” The T-Birds draw laugh after laugh with their back-and-forth, particularly for their jabs at Roger (Cody Westbrook) and Sonny (Jameson May). The Pink Ladies are a comical and skilled group of women who bring freshness to favorites like Rizzo, Jan, Frenchy, and Marty. Hannah Bonnett plays a powerhouse Rizzo, skillfully delivering a bold Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee followed by an emotional, There are Worse Things I Could Do in Act II. Brooke Sweeney as Frenchy is the sweet, first friend of Sandy, and Sweeney’s portrayal in both vocal quality and believability will have you hoping she changes beauty school plans so she can graduate high school with her friends. Marty (Hannah-Jo Weisberg) is the all-too-grown up Pink Ladies member who has her sights set on life post high school, singing a sultry rendition of Freddy My Love, while donning the latest gifts from her pen pal marine. Jan’s (Liz Erardi) goofy nature compliments and completes the Pink Ladies group.

The best part of this show is the work by all the cast members, some of whom have additional songs that you may not be familiar with if you’ve only seen the movie. On top of the palpable camaraderie between everyone and the comedic moments shared by many cast members, there are also some standout performances. Doody (Tyler Sodoma) performs Magic Changes, which is indeed a magical addition to the top of Act 1, showcasing guitar and vocal skills. Similarly, Roger (Cody Westbrook) and Jan (Liz Erardi) deliver a fantastic and funny Mooning in Act 1, showcasing clear vocal talents and bringing comedic timing that had the audience laughing throughout the whole production.

Powell) is Frenchy’s reminder to “go back to high school,” and had the audience in hysterics as Powell appeared and departed the stage in a cloud of hairspray all while crooning a marvelous rendition of the song. The top of Act II features Born To Hand Jive with Johnny Casino (Nick Wilders) and Vince Fontaine (Joshua Clifton Powell) leading the dance-off between the attendees of the school dance. The power of the ensemble is especially bright in this song, showcasing the talents of characters like Cha Cha (Skylar Wright) who dances alongside Danny (Abraham Shaikh) to win the dance contest. Miss Lynch, played by Annie Travolta (formerly Frenchy on Broadway) has the audience laughing from beginning to end as she pops up to reprimand the unruly T-birds before joyfully joining, We Go Together at the end of the show.

Max Quidley) round out an amazing cast of characters who help bring the Nantucket audience back to the hopping 50s.

Director, Justin Cerne and his artistic team have put together an exciting and talented company that will have you laughing and singing along until the end of Act II. Little touches like Miss Lynch snapping Polaroids and handing them out to audience members at the end, is part of what makes this production memorable and will make you want to come back again. Grease will be playing at Bennett Hall until August 24 and is produced by the Theater Workshop of Nantucket. Tickets are $70 for adults and $42 for children 5-12 years old. While there were some children at the opening night performance, attendees should note that the play includes some suggestive language and adult themes. Tickets are available at theatrenantucket.org.

for a more civil island. The Vice President of Strategic Investment will not bother the police department with noise complaints, other than an early lawn mower or coffee grinder. Mister and Mrs. J. Attorney Esquire won’t put a noise complaint on your VRBO review. Now, the beach parties are catered with white tablecloths and iced wine buckets. We are becoming our Instagram stories; we can make the money go hush. Unfortunately, all of this civility means that there isn’t any more fried dough on island.

I did get my share of fried dough recently in an unusual place: Italy. My Aunt and Uncle took me to a sagra in Gazzo where we celebrated the famous frogs legs of the area. Or other people did. I made due with gnocchi and white wine. A sagra is a well-organized block party each town (or parish) puts on for one weekend a summer. Each night, three things happen at the sagra: a carnival like amusement park opens, dinner is served, and dancing goes deep into the night. At the one in Gazzo, we walked through a “Luna Park” that had a ferris wheel, a tilt-a-whirl, the Gator, and bumper cars. The food was served in a tent the size of two football fields and lined with tables and benches. You ordered your food and wine on a check sheet, waited for your number to be called and then sat down next to somebody else. Afterwards, a band (with accordion) played dance tunes and the couples foxtrotted in a circle until deep into the night. When we left at eleven, the grandparents were still dancing.

They would keep going until the band stopped at two in the morning.

The sagra did not have a “Platinum Patron Level” with transportation to and from, a special table with a special meal, and a velvet rope. As such, they are not monetizing the event properly and are missing an opportunity for full contribution. On the other hand, a sagra welcomes everyone, has a place for everyone, and leaves a happy residue (for all but the frogs).

Nantucket has very few things left that welcome everyone, from hedge funders to hedge trimmers. We can’t have a sagra: no one could make any money off of it. We can no longer just look at each other and be happy to be on God’s Favorite Sand Dune. We can’t wander from midway to ferris wheel to fried dough in one large group of islanders—paying ridiculous prices, but...

Instead of a carnival, we only having the serving, the served, and a velvet rope.

Excellent! Clever & effervescent.

BRAVO! A hit for years to come!

from the shell. Rinse it in the sea and you can eat it right on the beach to the delight of your fellow beach-goers.

Mermaid Toenails (aka jingle shells) – These are the small, often translucent shells that can be shiny yellow, white, or pale orange. The jingle shell (Anomia simplex) is a common intertidal species found attached to rocks, other mollusks and arthropods. It cannot move once it is attached to a substrate.

These are great for children since they are often found with a small hole and can be easily strung onto an impromptu beach necklace. The holes are actually where the valve of the animal was located, but was left attached to the substrate when the shell came off.

Sand Dollars – Instead of being a shell, the sand dollar (Echinarachnius parma) are disc-shaped animals in the sea urchin family that grow to about three inches in our area. Alive, they are brown and covered with velvety hair but when dead, they bleach to light gray or white in the sun and harden. They are closely related to sea stars and actually look like a sea star with no arms when alive. These are less common than the other species, but still found across Nantucket beaches.

Mermaid’s Purses – These rectangular horny “purses” are actually egg cases of the little skate (Raja erinacea), a relative of sharks and rays. They are the most common skate in northern inshore waters, thus, their egg cases are plentiful on the beach. The egg cases are made of keratin, the same substance of which human fingernails are composed. An egg case forms around each individual skate embryo just before the mother deposits the cases on the sea floor. The long, curved projections on each corner of the egg tend to catch on seaweed or other objects, helping to anchor the egg case to the bottom. The horns serve to extract oxygen from the water, and to release waste back into the water. The egg cases are very tough and hard to penetrate, thus deterring predators.

Interestingly enough, initially the egg cases are waterproof because the embryos do not have gills until after three weeks of development. Then small continued on page 25

holes open in the tips of the horns, admitting seawater, and the young skate learns to live as an underwater creature. When the time comes for the young skate to escape, the egg case splits open at one end and the youngster emerges.

Whelk Shells – On the north or south shores you may find channeled or knobbed whelks (the knobbed, Busycon carica, is the most common on Nantucket). These sea snails resemble small conches but are actually a different species. This snail is carnivorous and will drill holes in other mollusk shells.

Sometimes we also find the operculum of the whelk. The operculum is a 1-2-inch oblong photo by Sarah Bois structure that looks like a large, Mermaid’s Purse amber fingernail. It’s actually like the front door for the snail. When completely retracted inside its shell, the operculum fits into the opening, thus protecting the soft flesh of the snail from predators.

The inside of the whelk shell is smooth like porcelain and often has bright orange coloration. A young child I was walking with on the beach many years ago found the winding, center portion of the whelk shell. He held it up and exclaimed, “It looks like the twisty legs of a ballerina!” Indeed it does!

Whelk Egg Case – One of the most common beach finds among the eel grass and sea weed is actually the egg case for the whelk snail. The snakelike structures are difficult to figure out at first. What creature could have made this thing? The long egg case is made up of many chitinous egg cases.

Each egg case (or capsule) holds numerous individual baby whelks. The continued on page 26

shape of the capsule is specific to the type of whelk species, so you may be able to find more than one type. If the eggs haven’t hatched, you may be able to find some miniscule whelk shells inside that have dried up.

Moon Snail Shells – The northern moon snail (Lunitia heros) has a pink and gray shell with a light brown body. Like the whelk, it can retract completely and has an operculum to close its door.

The empty shells often get used by flat-clawed hermit crabs, giving it an extra life. The females produce a “sand collar” which is a structure covered with sand where the snail lays her eggs. These are sometimes seen by snorkelers among the eel grass beds.

Moon snails are one of my personal favorites. They are more commonly found on the south shore of Nantucket, and I spent many a year looking for a “perfect” shell that wasn’t broken. When I did finally find one at Miacomet, I realized that is actually perfect because it was still alive. Holding the 4 inch snail in the palm of my hand for about 30 seconds, the smooth, cool flesh of the snail started to come out of its shell and covered my hand like a big wet kiss from the sea. I set it back in the sand and let the surf take it away.

Like most things from the beach, please leave what is alive. Only take a treasure or two, but leave the rest for all to enjoy.

You can see many of these creatures alive at the Maria Mitchell Aquarium located at 28 Washington Street (mariamitchell.org/visit/aquarium).

it also gives the wine its characteristic notes that it is know for of red fruits, such as red apple skin, along with white peach and quince. Dry on the palate, long on the finish, this should be your go-to bright yellow label wine based on such excellent quality and reasonable price. Pairs well with a perfect starry evening on Nantucket!

WHAT GROWS TOGETHER, GOES TOGETHER The Bourgeois family has been growing wines in Chavignol, located in the Loire Valley of France, for ten generations. They are passionately devoted to the Sauvignon Blanc (and Pinot Noir) that grows in the region. They work on a mosaic of many vine plots, where each is isolated and worked in respect to its terroir and what it has to offer the final blend.

Henri Bourgeois Sancerre â&#x20AC;&#x153;Les Baronnesâ&#x20AC;? 2018 is just one example from their estate that expresses the chalky clay soils on which the vines are grown.

The wine is aromatic on the nose, with hints of passionfruit, citrus and distinctive minerality. The palate is fresh and expressive, with lively acidity and a light chalky finish. Even better is the ease of accessibility being one of very few Sancerre producers that offers their wine in a screw-top format. This region is also home to its famous eponymous goat cheese, making a classic accompaniment to this delicious wine offering, as would Nantucket oysters on the half shell.

We loved the layers of mouthwatering crispiness in the Fried Oyster Po’Boy. It all starts with the perfect toasted baguette. A few strips of bacon at the bottom meet a rich remoulade, fried oysters, and crunchy Cajun slaw.

This southern twist on a seaside staple will have you coming back for more.

Fresh and flavorful, the Blackened Faroe Island Salmon was one of our favorites. SeaBlackened Faroe Island Salmon soned with a smattering of spice and sauteed, it’s served atop colorful carrots and grilled asparagus. It was pristine pink and cooked to perfection.

Great for lunch or dinner and easy on the go, the Turkey Club Wrap is a favorite for a reason. Loaded with thin sliced roast turkey, bacon, tomato, cheese, and greens, it’s wrapped up tight in a verdant spinach tortilla.

Delightful Chicken & Waffle Sliders marry a slightly sweet waffle biscuit with golden fried chicken, bleu cheese, and slaw. There’s an explosion of tastes and textures that you might not want to share and definitely don’t want to miss.

You’ll want to write home about the mushroom demi-glaze poured over the Grilled Rib Eye. Fork-tender and served with rustic skin-on mashed potatoes and crunchy carrots, every bite was better than the last.

butter sauce. This and many other options are made gluten free, so you can indulge while staying healthy.

The Crown has a few favorites for the finale, we opted for the one that just screams summer: Strawberry Shortcake.

Juicy red berries and plenty of whipped cream rest easy on a warm, sweet biscuit.

A healthy scoop of ice cream and caramel sauce sit beside and the Halibut fried mint is more than just a garnish.

Named after a shoal seven miles off the coast of Nantucket, this wellknown spot near the Steamship has served Nantucket in many different ways.

Strawberry Shortcake

Erected in the 1800s, The Rose and Crown was originally a livery stable for keeping horses and carriages. After that it was home to a gas station and art gallery, then in the mid-seventies it transformed into the restaurant we know and love today. Their 40 years of steadfast service is a tradition we are proud to be a part of, and they’d love to have you be a part of it too.

Pork Belly Tacos

Airy onion naan made the Pork Belly Tacos something special. Crisp coleslaw and smoky, succulent pork filled them out and three on the plate was hardly enough.

The first pick for all of us was the Halibut. Seared to a crackle yet pearly white within, it was served with Korean spiced quinoa and a lemon caper

Sustainable Wine from page 27

Love by Léoube Organic Rosé Côtes de Provence 2018 is a lovely dry rosé wine, a staple in the south of France and here on Nantucket. It is a blend of Grenache and Cinsault, completed by a touch of Syrah and Mourvèdre. This elegant rosé had a soft mouthfeel, with flavors of strawberries, hints of pineapple, and red berries. It is well-balanced and generous on the palate, inviting you back for another sip with your al fresco meal overlooking the water.

PATIENCE IS

A

VIRTUE

Just as you wait all year for summer to finally arrive on Nantucket, winemakers do the same in the lifecycle of a vineyard. Seresin Estate is an example of a new world winery with an old world approach where good things come to those who wait. With vineyards located in the sun-soaked heart of Marlborough at the top of New Zealand’s South Island, they produce wine in the most natural way without compromising quality. It is this passion for organics that form the foundation for Seresin Estate. They farm biodynamically, which means that they work in harmony with seasonal, earthly, and celestial rhythms, and are also certified organic. The vineyard floor is carpeted with wild flowers and grasses, and the air is filled with the sounds of the birds and the bees.

While the region is well-known for its white wines, they produce a limited amount of excellent reds. Seresin Pinot Noir “Leah” Marlborough, NZ 2016 had classic Pinot Noir characteristics, displaying a complex nose of red berries fruits, reminiscent of cherries and raspberries. This medium-bodied wine has a supple palate and silky tannins, whilst the natural fermentation adds complexity. Move over California and Oregon, New Zealand Pinot Noir has arrived!

These selections are just a small sampling of winemakers who have chosen to produce wines that represent their unique terroirs and use sustainable practices in their vineyards and winemaking processes. As we choose our summer staples grown and harvested on island, keep these and other like minded wineries in mind to pair with your farm fresh Nantucket meal.

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.

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.
