Dance Fest Continues with Stellar Program

by C. Oscar Olson It’s time once again to put on your dancing shoes, or better yet ballet slippers, because the 2016 Dance Festival is here. This year’s Festival, curated once again by Tyler Angle of the New York City Ballet, will feature dancers from around the country and world. The American Ballet Theatre, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Royal Ballet, Jessica Lang Dance and the Cincinnati and Pennsylvania Ballet companies will all be part of the show. It is certainly a rare treat to have these kinds of performances on our tiny island. Amy Jenness, Head Adult Program Coordinator for the Nantucket Atheneum, says, “…foremost is always the amazing caliber of the dance that comes here for a few days in July. The Nantucket audience will get a thoroughly professional experience as good as any they will see in a big city.”

This year’s festival has a distinctly contemporary feel, including works by Wayne McGregor, multi-award winning British dance choreographer and Resident Choreographer of the Royal Ballet. Also in appearance will be a masterful piece by choreographer Annabel Lopez Ochoa and two world premiers. Ochoa, half-Colombian and half-Belgian, trained at The Royal Ballet Academy in Antwerp and has been with dance companies around Germany and Belgium. The focus of 9th Annual Nantucket Atheneum Dance Festival is on what is happening currently in the world of ballet. Showcasing some of continued on page 17

Celebrate with Annye!

Annye Camara took the long way ‘round to get to Nantucket Island, but now that she’s been here full time for more than 17 years, it would be hard to imagine our community without her dedication and caring spirit. This Friday, July 22, she’ll be celebrating her 71st birthday in her store on Amelia Drive, and she’s inviting everyone to join her for a taste of what she sells and to help Nantucket Cottage Hospital.

Born in New Bedford, Annye traveled the world with her parents: she lived for several years in Tripoli, “among Arabs who farmed all kinds of red peppers—very beautiful— and I was allowed to ride camels and play with goats, sheep, cows, and (tame) deer,” and in Okinawa, where she became “forever been enamored with all things Japanese.”

After attending college in Colorado and then at Notre photo by Tim Ehrenberg Dame, where she also taught, she traveled back to the East Coast to attend grad school at Northeastern. It

We Came Here Because of Here

Sail Endeavor a Nantucket tradition. established 1982

by Robert P. Barsanti The rain continues to fall.

Heavy rain does funny things to the island; there is no place for all of that freshwater to go, other than the ocean. But before it gets to the ocean, it puddles in the parking lots, cross streets, and old pond beds.

To me, and most of the year-round contingent, rain is merely another annoyance. It keeps the kids inside, closes up the job sites, fills the bars downtown, and leaks in the west facing windows. But for the visitors who count each day as if it was a rosary bead, the rain steals money and time. The family stands downtown in raincoats and shorts, dodging from toy store to ice cream to museum with one furtive eye on the sky.

I remember those days well. When I was green and wild in my youth, the parents brought us on vacation to the Vineyard. In order to prolong our stay and save money, we stayed in a gigantic tent. Bedouin living was fine in good weather. We bopped to the beach in the morning, showered and played softball in the late afternoon, grilled in the evening and fell into a salty, sandy sleep on an air mattress.

But when the rains came, tent living became a precarious, soggy nightmare. You couldn’t touch the sides of the canvas tent for fear of causing leaks. Trenches, dug with admirable energy by my younger brother, had to be redug and fortified, otherwise the water would pool up under the groundsheet. Everything inside the car stayed dry, everything inside the big tent got damp. Everything under the flap filled and flopped with standing water. You haven’t lived until you have eaten soggy cereal in a limp paper bowl on a wet picnic table for dinner.

We spent the rainy days sitting in the main building shooting bumper pool and reading, playing interminable board games inside the damp tent, or driving from one town to the next in search of a cheap indoor amusement. Well within our earshot, my mother often wondered why we ever came.

Among the historic gray-shingled houses of Vestal Street and hidden in the gardens of the Maria Mitchell Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hinchman House Natural Science Museum, sits a whale skull found thirty years ago at Cisco Beach. The bone belongs to a right whale: an endangered species with an Atlantic population of around 500.

Whales, bones and all, are symbolic of Nantucketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whaling history and current conservation efforts.

Between 1750 and 1850, the global oil business was booming and Nantucket was the leader in whaling. Most whaling ships from Nantucket hunted the sperm whale, which at around 32,000 pounds could strike a whaling ship, sending it and its passengers to the bottom of the ocean. The events aboard the whaleship Essex led Herman Melville to write Moby Dick â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a story based on the eighty-foot whale that sank one of Nantucketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest ships. The bones and pieces of history left behind are reminders of the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past and highlight the incredible history and commerce of Nantucket Island. Learning about the past can help us understand the present and prepare for the future.

The Maria Mitchell Association has a permit that allows them to collect both hard (bones) and soft (carcasses) for learning purposes, without this permit it is illegal to sell or possess marine mammal bones. The Hinchman continued on page 25

Family Excursions

Blueberry Picking

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

Nantucket used to be quite the hotspot for harvesting blueberries due to the naturally acidic sandy soil. As the island’s population grew this natural resource diminished. Don’t worry! There continues to be plenty of delicious berries scattered about the island. The best places to look are in the central moors from Polpis to Milestone, especially near Almanack Pond Road, and from Miacomet all the way to the ocean. There are also a few different types of blueberries here. The low-bush berries are in bunches low to the ground and require bending over or squatting down to harvest. The high-bush blueberries are obviously higher and almost look like small trees. The best time to forage for these miniature delectable treats is mid- to late July and the highbush blueberry season can extend to early August.

I have never actually gone blueberry picking until recently. This was not only an enjoyable excursion, but it was rewarding and fitting for all ages. You really don’t need much for this activity. We brought plastic bags to put our berries in, but you could bring any type of container for your collecting. Watch out for poison ivy while you are picking blueberries, and check for ticks during and after as well. You have to venture into the brush to pluck some of these treasures so be aware.

Before we began our harvest, we decided to collect the blueberries in order to make blueberry muffins. There are so many things you can make with the berries you collect from pies to waffles or even just to snack on. If you happen to gather a large amount of blueberries you can always freeze them for another day. If you do freeze the berries, pour them onto a cookie sheet, put that in the freezer, then bag the berries after they are frozen. You can measure as you bag, so you have just enough for a batch of muffins this winter. There are also many health benefits to eating these fresh blueberries full of antioxidants, so the more you forage the better you feel.

We began our harvest in the State Forest off of Lover’s Lane. Turns out, this is also where the Disc Golf course is located. There is a decent sized parking lot that abuts the Boy Scout campgrounds, complete with a bike rack. Upon arrival, you could take any of the surrounding paths, but we chose the path connecting to the disc golf course to check it out. The area and paths were pretty cleared out and along the perimeter there were low-bush blueberries everywhere! In low leafy patches we noticed small bunches of berries, some ripe, some still working hard on turning blue. The blueberries were small, but flavorful and the farther into July we get, I’m sure the size will increase.

After spending a short while focused on collecting, we had at least a cup of blueberries, which was just enough for our muffins. This was a great location to harvest the berries because there was plenty of shade to avoid the direct sunlight and a fair amount of sunny spots too. It was a perfectly peaceful morning for foraging here as well. Blueberry picking is the perfect activity for any kind of day and weather, especially if you need a beach break. This particular excursion is like the gift that keeps giving. First, the harvesting alone is eventful, then you get to make something with your collected treats, and finally you get the privilege of enjoying your bounty. I highly recommend this easy and gratifying excursion.

Maria Mitchell spent the first 11 years of her adulthood living a quiet life on Nantucket, first as a teacher and then as librarian of the Nantucket Atheneum.

But that changed on a clear October night in 1847 when she saw a comet through her telescope and realized she was the first to see it.

The King of Denmark awarded her a gold medal, and Maria was elected into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1848, one of its first woman members.

S u d d e n l y, Maria was catapulted into a new life that would provide opportunities not previously available.

She worked for the government.

She was invited into elite, male ora portrait that appeared in Popular Science Monthly in 1907 ganizations. She travelled in Europe and America. She inspired women to become scientists. And, for the rest of her life she was regarded internationally as a celebrity.

In 1852, The New York Times ran a speech made to the British Parliament

by John Lee, who had just lost to Benjamin Disraeli, in which he urged Disraeli to support women’s suffrage and named several distinguished women, including “Miss Mitchell the astronomer of New York.” The Times took offense at Lee’s geographical inaccuracy.

The allusion to "Miss Mitchell the astronomer,'' is a gratifying national comcontinued on page 14

Whenever friends and family come to visit the island and ask for suggestions of where to go and what to see, the Nantucket Historical Association properties are always on the top of my list. The Whaling Museum is one of my favorites, giving you an in-depth look at the rise and fall of whaling on the island. The museum is also the launching point for two daily walking tours of Nantucket town, one at 11:15am that focuses on the history of the island and the other at 2:15pm that is based on In the Heart of the Sea and continued on page 29

ner, there is no lack of excuses to partake and enjoy a refreshing cocktail concoction. Since it is summer and the sun happens to be out, no better time to also bring the rum out!

Rum is synonymous with island living. That doesn’t necessarily mean that it has to be an island full of palm trees in order to take advantage of the benefits of rum drinking, but an island with a culture of sun, sand, surf, and sometimes a little sailing, fishing, or other watersports.

Mount Gay is a craft rum with a generationslong history dating back to the 1700s, making it the oldest existing rum brand in the world. It is also closely associated with sailing and a preference among sailors.

While you may not be an avid sailor (or even like being on a boat), you can enjoy the pleasures of this rum after the beach at Fifty-Six Union Restaurant in their lovely garden setting. Aptly named the Mount Gay Cocktail, this simple, easydrinking libation consists of Mount Gay rum and coconut water, served on the rocks with a splash of pineapple juice and a lime wedge. Just hum a Jimmy Buffett tune for some added ambiance and continued on page 28

Fun Summer Fare â&#x20AC;&#x153; EARTH LAUGHS IN from page 4

lighting, and a cast well-suited to light summer fare, this is a fun way to spend an evening.

The first stage version of Annie Get Your Gun opened on Broadway in 1946, and some of the dialog and interactions reflect attitudes of that time.

This TWN production uses the book revised by Peter Stone, which attempts to soften some of the prejudices of the original that don't play well today.

While a couple of cringe-worthy lines remain, the acting and singing will move you past to enjoy this fun comic musical. After all, with this play it's all about the score, and this is one of the most acclaimed scores written for stage. The play features some of Irving Berlin's most memorable tunes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No Business Like Show Business,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Get a Man With a Gun,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Get the Sun in the Morning,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything You Can Doâ&#x20AC;? just to name a few.

Sara Sheperd, on leave from Broadway, is making her Theatre Workshop debut in the role of Annie, and she plays the title role with a charming downhome determination and a melodic voice that matches the strength of the character. The joy in her voice reinforces the optimism of Annie. James Benjamin Rodgers' strong, lush tenor and vivid acting makes him a boisterous Frank Butler and believable love interest.

Jack Bulger is no stranger to the stage on Nantucket, and his resonant voice and stage presence gives him credence as Buffalo Bill Cody. We also enjoyed Xalvador Tin-Bradbury's engaging and expressive portrayal of Tommy Keeler opposite Addie Doyle's endearing Winnie Tate.

Annie Get Your Gun is being performed in repertory with Theatre Workshop's production of The Full Monty which opens July 22 in Bennett Hall. For tickets, visit theatreworkshop.com or call the box office at 508-228-4305.

Annie Get Your Gun is being performed at 6pm on July 21, 27, Aug. 2, 4, 10, 17, 20, 23, & 25, with 2pm matinees on August 7 and 14.

pliment; but the additional words" of New York," are worthy the confused ideas of Englishmen, who make the double mistake of centralizing the whole of this country into one focus, and of locating that focus at New-York. In the same way Mr. Webster was introduced at a public dinner in London as "a distinguished member of the upper Senate of New York." Such instances of glaring ignorance are too common.

Friend and confidant to influential scientists and writers, Maria’s life was one of firsts. Born in 1818 and one of 10 children, Maria became the first female employee of the government in 1849 when the Nautical Almanac Office opened. She was hired to compute the positions of the planet Venus. During the mornings she calculated its orbit, in the afternoons she worked at the Atheneum, and in the evenings she searched the sky for comets. She never married and her financial independence and her accomplishments allowed her to travel.

When Vassar Female College opened in 1865 as the first school entirely for women, it hired Maria Mitchell as professor of astronomy. Initially educated by her father William Mitchell and then self-taught, Maria would teach a generation of women seeking a college degree in science. Her students went on to break barriers in American academia and earn the first science Ph.D. degrees for women in the United States.

And she was invited to join the male-dominated American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1850 and the American Philosophical Society in 1869.

Maria encouraged her students to be independent scientists with a healthy mistrust of authority. "We cannot accept anything as granted beyond the first mathematical formulae. Question everything else," she told them.

At the end of her life, despite her accomplishments, Maria was disappointed that working women were not compensated or treated the same as men. Maria and another female Vassar colleague took salary disputes to the administration, claiming they were paid less than half what male professors were paid. Their disputes were never resolved. continued on page 15

Born on an island dominated by the Quaker ideals of equality and a voice for all, Maria grew up knowing Nantucket-born feminist Lucretia Mott and later befriended other women's rights activists, including Mott’s close friend Elizabeth Cady Stanton. In 1873 Mitchell had attended the first Women's Congress, which was also attended by Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone, Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, and Antoinette Brown Blackwell.

That year she co-founded the American Association for the Advancement of Women, served as its president in 1875 and later chaired its science committee. In 1876, at the fourth congress of the American Association for the Advancement of Women, Maria Mitchell presented a paper on “The Need of Women in Science.”

In her speech she said, “Does anyone suppose that any woman in all the ages has had a fair chance to show what she could do in science? The laws of nature are not discovered by accidents; theories do not come by chance, even to the greatest minds; they are not born of the hurry and worry of daily toil; they are diligently sought, they are patiently waited for, they are received with cautious reserve, they are accepted with reverence and awe. And until able women have given their lives to investigation, it is idle to discuss the question of their capacity for original work.”

Maria Mitchell continued her political pursuits and taught at Vassar until 1888 when she left due to ill health. She died the next year in Lynn, Massachusetts.

Even after her death, Maria Mitchell continued to break down gender barriers. In 1923 the Hall of Fame for Great Americans at New York University, which had posthumously inducted Maria in 1905, decided to abandon its policy of segregating the displays of its honorees by gender. The New York Times noted,” While under the consolidation plans, the women's tablets in most cases will be moved over among the men. But Maria Mitchell will have the distinction of having the men come to her. Her tablet, and the bust which stands in the niche above, will remain where they are and will become the centre of the group of scientists which includes John James Audubon, Asa Gray, Louis Agaasiz, and Joseph Henry.

We Came Here from page 7

Like most of my mother’s questions, I only started thinking about it seriously once my hair turned steely. The older I get, the wiser my mother gets.

My memory is only now letting go of her experiments in yogurt making, Transactional Analysis, and garbardine vests. With her dumb ideas getting boiled away in the try-works of time, her wise oil will remain.

Thirty years later and twenty miles to the south-east, other parents must ask the same questions. The intervening thirty years has given us great wonders. Now, instead of bumper pool and cribbage, the kids can watch “Dumb and Dumber” on DVD, listen to their Ipods, text message their friends, and play marathon Halo 2 marathons on the X-Box. In never rains on Super Mario Sunshine. Children are now household appliances. Plug them in, keep them fed and clean, and show them off to the neighbors. My mother’s questions echoes and reverberates in the new millennium of personal electronic amusement parks; “Why did we ever come here?” We could plug the kids in more cheaply at home.

We came here because of “here.” Nantucket has held itself back from the ebb tide of consumers and corporations. As a result, the island remains different from America. Anonymous American life is stuck in Hyannis with the traffic lights. Even with a billion dollars in real estate sales and three local cable channels, we remain the “little town that time forgot.” Everyone who returns to Nantucket comes to find their own lighthouses and channel markers. Cisco Beach, Bartlett Farm, Altar Rock, Great Point, Striped Bass at sunset. Then, with the compass and chronometer reset, they can return to the world of touchscreens, PIN numbers, and Zip Code marketing.

We came here, then, because it wasn’t home. Home has bills, soccer practice, and drive time DJ’s on the radio. Home comforts us in an endless box step: work, kids, store, bed, then slide back to first position. A vacation not only ends the music, it tosses you off the dance floor. For better or worse, there you are with the spouse and the kids looking out a rainy window. Whatever you are going to do, it is going to be different from what you did last week or last month.

Or it should be. The Personal Electronic Amusement Park has its attractions, particularly for the parents. But the kids can watch “Old School” at home while you do the box step. Vacation might be a good time to listen to what the kids are listening to (briefly), drag them to things they don’t want to see, and walk places they don’t want to go. Even in the rain. At the very least, it will give their thumbs something to write.

My mother’s question answers itself. We came here so that my family could become a “we” again. An overweight, over-sugared, bored, and damp “we,” mind you, but a unified group nonetheless. On island, the family goes skating together, goes to the Maria Mitchell Aquarium, visits the Lifesaving Museum, and drives to Sconset for ice cream and a view of the waves breaking on the Rose and Crown Shoal. Off-island, the family spins about on a child’s mobile, circling the circles. On-island, and in the rain, the spinning stops and the strings break. We are left with the only things we really ever have: each other.

Soon enough, the rosary beads and credit line will run out and we will have to return home. As sure as death and taxes, the last day will be one of transcendent clarity and warmth. With the car packed and the kids belted into the back seat, we will drive to the boat and hear, in the far off distance, the breakers rolling into the beach, the golf balls flying off the tee, and the sails luffing in the southwest breeze. Next year, we can enjoy this. Again.

Dance Fest from page 3

the most talented dancers in the world, this year’s program demonstrates that ballet is not a static art form but one that continues to evolve and challenge.

The festival kicked off earlier in the week on Tuesday, July 19 at the Dreamland Theater. Filmmaker Kate Duhamel screened some of her works, specifically those with a focus on dance and movement. Duhamel has been writing, directing and producing independent films for 15 years, and has recently focused her work on dance and movement. She was accompanied by one of her subjects, Isabella Boylston, Principal Dancer at American Ballet Theatre. Duhamel and Boylston took time to discuss their collaboration and the influence of dance in film.

Of the seven choreographers represented in this year’s program, three are women: Melissa Barak, Jessica Lang and Annabelle Lopez Ochoa.

As Jenness puts it, “In the ballet world this is very unusual. Choreography has been largely the territory of men.” Barak hails from Los Angeles and is the founder of Barak Ballet. She danced with New York City Ballet for close to a decade and is currently with Los Angeles Ballet. Since 1999, Lang has created over 90 works for dance companies around the world. She is also a 2015 recipient of the prestigious Bessie Award. On Wednesday, July 20 at 5pm, these talented choreographers talked about their history, vision, and careers at The Great Hall at the Nantucket Atheneum.

If you missed the events on Tuesday and Wednesday, be sure to catch the rest of what the

restaurant and bar Where chic meets casual comfort

Nantucket Dance Festival has to offer. One of the most popular events of the festival is the “Behind the Curtain” lecture/demonstration. This event gives attendees the opportunity to hear artistic director Tyler Angle discuss the program and see the dancers perform excerpts from the evening’s performances. This event will be held on Thursday, July 21 at 4 pm at the Nantucket High School Auditorium.

A program catering to students of ballet, specifically those 5 years of age or older with at least 2 years of experience, is the master class. The class will be taught by festival dancers on Wednesday July 20 at 9:30 am and again at 11 am. On Friday, July 22 at 11 am children of all ages and experience are invited to a special interactive program to be held at the Nantucket Boys & Girls Club Gym, located at 61 Sparks Avenue. “The children’s program gives kids the chance to move around to music and start to understand the basics of dance; keeping time, moving your body through space, and telling a story without saying a word,” adds Jenness.

The festival will culminate in a finale of two nights featuring fantastic performances of dance on Friday, July 22 and Saturday, July 23. The performances will include eight pieces by American and European choreographers, including two new works that will be making their premieres on Nantucket. All of the performances will be backed by live music. Ticket prices range from $45 to $85, with special pricing for senior citizens and children.

For more information about the Nantucket Atheneum Dance Festival and to register children for the interactive classes or programs please call 508-221-1110, extension 107, or visit www.nantucketatheneum.org/dancefestival2016.

House Natural Science Museum has a collection of more than fifty whalebones found along the beaches of Nantucket. The Maria Mitchell Association uses them to introduce and educate visitors about our underwater neighbors.

The whalebone in the garden and the various skulls, jawbones, and vertebrae in the museum collection are representative of the common marine mammal species seen off Nantucket shores. Some of the most common species are gray seals, harbor seals, right whales, humpback whales, sperm whales, pilot whales, minke whales, Atlantic white-side dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and common dolphins.

In 1972, Congress passed the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), which protects all marine mammals. The MMPA was passed because many marine species, like the right whales, were (and still are) in danger of extinction or depletion because of human activities. To help keep the populations at bay, the act prohibits the “take” of marine mammals in U.S. waters and by U.S. citizens (with a few exceptions). The MMPA was a proactive step in the conservation of marine mammals on a national level, but there are current efforts at a local level happening today.

“Today, the global transition from whaling to whale watching is nearly complete, and Nantucket, once a hub of American whaling, stands at the center of a thriving ecotourism devoted to seeing and experiencing whales in all of their majesty and wonder,” stated Wayne Pacelle, President & CEO, The Humane Society of the United States There is an opportunity for us to celebrate our relationship with history as well as our future. The initial application for Nantucket as a Whale Heritage Site was accepted and will include Nantucket Island, Tuckernuck Island, and Muskeget Island of Massachusetts and will extend three nautical miles offshore. Accepted as a Whale Heritage Site (WHS), the WHS status will provide further protection on top of Congress’ MMPA. Nantucket’s non-profits continue to celebrate the coexistence between humans and cetaceans and encourage social and economic sustainability, research and education, and awareness.

Measures are being taken to protect these species. Marine mammals are important to both our past and future. Dr. Tracey Romano, Vice President of Biological Research & Chief Scientist at Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, will be speaking at the Maria Mitchell Association’s Summer Science Speaker Series about beluga whales, the Arctic, and climate change. Like the island’s focus, Dr. Romano values the relationship between humans, whales, and the environment. Dr. Romano’s work is a true testament of how interconnected and interdependent our ecosystems are. Listen to her speak about her research on Wednesday, September 14 at 33 Washington Street, or visit the Hinchman House to learn more about whales and local marine mammals.

The MMA was founded in 1902 to preserve the legacy of Maria Mitchell and to promote her belief in learning-by-doing. An astronomer and natural scientist, as well as an educator, Maria Mitchell shot to worldwide fame when she discovered a comet in 1847. For her discovery, she was awarded a gold medal from the King of Denmark – the first American and first woman to receive the honor.

She served as the Professor of Astronomy and Mathematics at Vassar College from 1865 until 1888. Today, the MMA operates two observatories, a natural science museum, an aquarium, and the birthplace of Maria Mitchell. The MMA conducts scientific research, leads classes and workshops for people of all ages year-round, and welcomes thousands of visitors to its museums and observatories.

Celebrate with Annye! from page 5

By Steve Martin Adapted fr from Carl Sternheim Directed by To Tony A Awa ward-winner Martin Platt

July 22- Aug. 12 at the White Heron Theatre

508.228.2156|whiteherontheatre.org|5 N Wa Water Street

was in Boston, after working with a friend at her bookstore on Charles Street, that Annye decided to take a break from academia: “I had just been accepted to Northeastern's grad school, but I decided that I wanted to be a bookseller— I loved sharing my passion for and knowledge of writing with others—it didn't feel like work at all. Reading had made all the difference in my own life, and encouraging others to read, making recommendations, felt fantastic!“ Annye and her husband went on to own a series of bookstores in the Midwest, and when they sold their Books and Co. in Ohio in 1992, it was the second largest bookstore in the country. Ready again for a change, she moved to New York City to take a job as director of marketing at Workman Publishing, then a division of Simon and Schuster.

It was birdwatching that brought Annye to Nantucket Island. “My family had come to the island for visits, and as an adult I began to visit with friends to birdwatch. Like so many others, I loved it immediately!”

During one of these visits, she noticed the health food store on Washington Street was for sale. “I imagined a life here, which, while not selling books, would connect me with customers, and be of service in the same way I felt being a bookseller had been. I also felt that I could have more time to birdwatch and get my kayak out on the water...It was quieter then, remember?”

She bought the store in 1999, and now, 17 years later and located at 14 Amelia Drive, Annye’s Whole Foods (known to most simply as Annye’s) is an island institution. It’s the place to go for a great selection of quality grocery items (including the island’s largest selection of gluten-free items and a range of Asian and Indian foods), wine, vitamins, supplements, herbal & homeopathic remedies, beauty & skin care products. Annye sells local & regional organic produce and carries fresh herbs and offerings from Nantucket’s own Pumpkin Pond Farm. Every day fresh bread is flown over from Pain d’Avignon, and throughout the store are foods which meet nutritional needs for wheat-free, gluten-free, and vegan diets.

Annye’s love of animals has led her to include a line of human grade food and treats for your best friends, along with pet supplements to provide nutricontinued on page 27

tional support for joints, skin and coat, digestion and the immune system.

Every evening, Annyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen staff oven roasts chickens so her busy customers can pick up an easy meal for the family, and they prepare hot lunches and soups daily. New for this season are Souping soups, which Annye describes as â&#x20AC;&#x153;different from juicing in that we use vegetables which have more fiber & less sugar... I have the arugula and avocado soup for breakfast most mornings. And Nadine's watermelon chia soups (now that we have watermelons), is a big favorite.â&#x20AC;?

In a nod to her life before Nantucket, Annye has installed a Little Free Library within the store, which she describes as â&#x20AC;&#x153;great fun and connects me to readers, still.â&#x20AC;?

Annye is in her store seven days a week, but somehow she finds time to volunteer with a number of island organizations. Perhaps all the healthy eating has given her an extra boost of energy?

A keen supporter of animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rights, Annye is involved with Cattrap Nantucket, modestly describing herself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;only one of several volunteers for whom Carol [Black] is an inspiration.â&#x20AC;? She is one of the founders of the Nantucket Book Festival, which she co-chaired twice, and is president of the Nantucket Book Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, it's a continuation of bringing writers and readers together, much was I did as a bookseller. And that's worth every single minute of effort I devote to the organization.â&#x20AC;?

And sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serving her first term on the board of The Trustees of the Atheneum with the same enthusiasm she brings to each of her endeavors: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's exhilarating to be part of something so important to the whole island... it is incredible, almost, how many programs and initiatives take place there, under [Molly Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s] direction. The staff are devoted and creative. I feel privileged to be asked to serve with them. I love librarians! Librarians made all the difference in my life when I was young; librarians and teachers are so vital in our lives.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely in character of Annye to celebrate her birthday this Friday, July 22, by giving to her customers and by donating 10% of her proceeds on that day to Nantucket Cottage Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising campaign for Nantucketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new hospital.

Stop by Annyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s between 9 am and 6 pm to explore her store, taste samples of her tasty wares, and wish her a very happy birthday! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Suzanne Daub

you will feel like you are in the Caribbean instead of New England.

For another uncomplicated and well-known rum drink, there are numerous variations to the traditional ‘Dark ‘N Stormy.’ Where dark refers to dark rum, most commonly Gosling’s Black Seal Rum from Bermuda, the stormy is in reference to ginger beer, a naturally sweetened, carbonated, non-alcoholic beverage, served over ice and garnished with a lime wedge. A mixologist twist to this theme can be found at The Seagrille by the name of (using your best Southie accent) “dACK + Stormy.” This recipe calls for Old Monk Rum, an Indian Rum that is aged for a minimum of eight years and has a distinct vanilla flavor, which is mixed with Tuck’s delicious, not so sweet House-made Ginger Beer and fresh lime. Please keep in mind that this drink can be consumed rain or shine.

After a long weekend on Nantucket and while you are at the airport but not quite ready to leave this magical paradise, take advantage of one last rum drink to round out your island vacation. Staying with the Caribbean theme with rums from the Leeward Islands, Crosswinds Restaurant offers a refreshing rum drink to enjoy before your safe travels back to America. Take time to stop and smell the coconuts with a Crosswinds Cooler. This liquid refreshment is a blend of tropical fruit juices and the creamy, smooth Cruzan coconut rum, which hails from St. Croix, in the US Virgin Islands. Cruzan Rum claims the distinction of "the most honored rum distillery in the world" and has been in operation for more than 250 years.

No matter where your island hopping and rum sampling adventures take you, keep in mind this is just a beginning collection of favorite rum-based drinks. Stay tuned to for learning more about a selection of rums that are too good to be mixed and perfect for sipping on their own.

Historical Walking Tour from page 11

gives you the background of whaling and the story of the whaleship Essex..

I checked in at the front desk of the Whaling Museum for the 11:15am tour, and met the group on the benches outside of the museum where the tour began. The guides wear microphones as they are conducting the tour, which was very helpful as the summer traffic rumbled by and excited children gathered for ice cream. Our guide on this particular day was Susan, who through the course of the tour proved to know her island history, and spoke passionately about it.

From the Whaling Museum, the tour moved down to the harbor where we were able to imagine a harbor of the 1800’s with grog shops, brothels, and a railroad. Susan passed around pictures while describing the way of life back then, helping us visualize what things used to look like. As the sun sparkled off the harbor and sailboats bobbed on their moorings, it was interesting to think about a different time period and how things have changed through the years.

The tour continued on to the next stop at the bottom of Main Street, where we learned about the Great Fire, before making our way to the Nantucket Atheneum. The historical commentary, cobblestones, and architecture along the way between stops helps drown out the hustle and bustle of town around you. We also stopped in front of the Pacific Bank at the top of Main Street before heading to two of the Historical Association properties.

We stopped and sat at the old Quaker Meeting House on Fair Street, women sitting on one side and men on the other, just like they used to do back in the day. The grand finale was a visit to the Hadwen House, which has been closely restored to the original. The glimpse inside this historical house was impressive, and one you’ll only get through this tour.

I learned so much in the hour and a half that this walking tour took, and it really helps you appreciate the town of Nantucket and the people and events that shaped the island into what it is today. This tour and the In the Heart of the Sea tour run daily, rain or shine, and are available on a first come, first served basis. The walk is not strenuous and stops several times, just wear comfortable shoes and be sure to mind the cobblestones! Check in at the front desk of the Whaling Museum on Broad Street.

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