Dance Festival Brings Classic and Modern Performances to Island

by Julianne Adams What began as a one-off evening of dance quickly became the multi-day event brimming with world-class talent known as the Nantucket Atheneum Dance Festival. In 2008, the Atheneum sponsored a performance from Stiefel and Stars, an intensive summer program that was run on Martha’s Vineyard by Ethan Stiefel, a principal dance for the American Ballet Theatre (ABT). “We looked at the landscape here,” says Atheneum Head Adult Program Coordinator Amy Jenness, “and saw that there wasn’t a whole lot of dance.” The event, sponsored to gauge community interest, sold out. The success of the event propelled the Atheneum to invest more energy into the dance world. The result was the Dance Festival, which over the years has turned into a multi-day event featuring classes, discussions, and performances, all from the best talent in dance.

This year, the Festival culminates in two performances (Friday and Saturday, July 25 and 26 at 6pm) with dancers from the New York City Ballet (NYCB) and ABT. Curated by Tyler Angle, the works presented range from classic ballet to new work by modern talent. Angle takes over the role of Artistic Director from Benjamin Millepied, who joins the Paris Opera this September as Director of Dance. Angle has been a principal dancer for NYCB since 2009 and has performed in works from George Balanchine’s Swan Lake to premiere pieces by Mauro Bigonzetti. “My role as Artistic Director first and foremost is to choose the repertory and dancers for the festival,” says Angle. “The real challenge in Nantucket is to appeal to the very educated dance enthusiast crowd and at the same time be accessible, interesting, and enjoyable to the people who may only see this one dance program every year.”

Angle, blending an array of sounds and styles, successfully pulls off this feat continued on page 16

Sail Into Science

by Dr. Sarah Oktay, Director, University of Massachusetts Nantucket Field Station (see www.yesterdaysisland.com for expanded article & notations)

This week’s column is designed to get you outdoors to work with visiting scientists and learn more about Nantucket’s diverse and fascinating plants and animals. For the first time, the Nantucket Biodiversity Initiative is sponsoring a Citizen Science Weekend Friday-Sunday, July 25-27. Scientists from off-island have been invited to join our local experts to locate, identify, and study Nantucket’s under-studied species of interest. Every other year, we feature a Nantucket Biodiversity Week in either the spring or fall in which scientists fan out over the island with citizen scientists and naturalists to count, record, photograph, measure, or observe a variety of life. We held our first Nantucket Biodiversity Week in May of 2004. This year we decided to try something new and hold a shorter week in the middle of summer, when different plants and animals are present. Although we and our citizen scientists are all busier now, we thought it would be worth it to have our many summer visitors involved and to see what we could document in a warmer month.

We will launch the weekend off in style on Friday, July 25 from 6:30 - 8:30 pm in the Dreamland Theater. Researchers from UMass Boston, the College of Staten Island/City University of New York, the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program, Maria Mitchell Association, and the Polly Hill Arboretum from Martha’s Vineyard, among others, will describe what they are hoping to accomplish on-island this weekend and how the public can help. This is a rare opportunity to see science in action and contribute to documenting the types of plants and animals on Nantucket. The researchers here are collecting information they need to make decisions on land management practices, beach use policies, and the results of establishing wildlife corridors and enacting habitat protection.

The full schedule is at the end of this article and can be found along with registration information at www.nantucketbiodiversityinitiative.org. continued on page 13

Love Unleashed

by Robert P. Barsanti Until this year, I have never lived with a dog. I have lived with parents, children, and wives, so I am used to certain duties and responsibilities. I know enough to turn the lights off before I go to bed, hide the Oreos from the boys, and put the toilet seat down. Dogs don’t require that sort of responsibility. Instead, dogs require that you open your life up a few more feet so that they can jump up and sit in the back seat. And then they would like a window open.

You can negotiate with the people in your life. You can look at your kids and let them watch another hour of Thomas the Tank Engine while you nap on the sofa. You can promise to powerwash the house in exchange for an extra hour of sleep. But when a furry, toothed face starts licking you, no promise of dog bones or extra scratching is going to put him off. You get up, you get dressed, and you walk around the yard for five minutes until he finds the right bush.

At least his manipulations come from a clear source. When he drops a slobber-covered tennis ball in my lap, he isn’t looking for me to get him a racket, some lessons, and some white shorts. After it bounces off the piano, a chair, and then comes to rest in his dog bed, he will be back and give it to me again. In the final glimmer of evening, when the Red Sox are squandering base runners, he will approach me on the sofa and settle his head on my feet. After a few moments, and a fetid burst of gas, he will settle his whole body onto me.

Such are the burdens of love. You have to give more than you want to give and take more than you really want to take. But your life swells to let him in.

Unfortunately, the one part of my life that has had to contract comes at the beach. Our dog, Moby, is an energetic, handsome, but intellectually challenged one-year-old puppy who bangs his head on parked cars. Overall, Nantucket is a wonderful place for dogs, as long as they have some sort of tick repellant sprayed on them. Many of the stores downtown leave water dishes out, the banks give treats to the dogs in the backseat, and the dogs attract a fan base near the benches. The one place on Nantucket where dogs have difficulty is at the beach.

Moby has two basic goals at any moment of the day: can I eat it? and will they play with me? When he sees other people, dogs, or slow moving bicycles, he wants to play. When he sees flowers, dead bugs, or sandwich wrappers, he wants to eat. So, going to a beach could be a smorgasbord for both appetites. Other dogs, other children, and other flying things dip into the airspaces over the poor lab's head. Further, every one has snacks and is dropping them in the sand. Chips here, a cookie over there, and, if his nose is right, there are hot dogs in that group two blankets down. And his nose is never wrong.

Guilt has about a five-second delay in a dog. It takes a few moments for the conscience to get up off the sofa and grab the microphone to scream "bad dog!" But by the time that happens, his ears are flapping behind him, his mouth is trailing drool, and his legs are bolting over the sand. Of course, his tail is wagging and his eyes are full of good cheer, but if you just came continued on page 23

TWN Presents An American Classic

by Sarah Teach Saddle up your horses and clip-clop over yonder to Oklahoma!, where the dancin’ is lively and the gals are purdy. You must cross neither the Sound nor the prairie to get to Oklahoma!, because Theatre Workshop of Nantucket is bringing this distinctly American musical to you.

Based on Lynn Riggs’s 1931 play Green Grow the Lilacs, Oklahoma! was first of the many legendary collaborations between Rodgers and Hammerstein. Set in 1906, the story is brimming with the hope and optimism of the early 20th century settlers of the South Central U.S., and really, Americans in general. There’s a reason this musical has been beloved by Americans and performed thousands of times in this country since its 1943 Broadway debut.

The set isn’t elaborately decorated, and it shouldn’t be. As pink sunsets creep across the tawny background, the focus remains on the action. Set designer Eric Schultz gives us a clear blue sky, which lighting designer Sandra Galley transforms to a hazy moonlit evening when the drama speeds up.

Director and choreographer Justin Cerne and musical director Diane Lehman must have taken a cue from Rodgers and Hammerstein in casting singers who could act rather than the reverse. Truly, it is the only way to produce an excellent musical. Who among us has not witnessed a talented actor eke out lyrics in a subpar pitch? The original production of Oklahoma! helped to inspire the creation of the much-needed and now-popular college major musical theatre; and several of Cerne’s actors have degrees in the field. Ted Bushman, who stars as Curly, delivers a flawless performance of the opening piece “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’.” His versatile vocal range melds beautifully with the voice of soprano Becky Sawicki, who embodies

NANTUCKET!

Last week I was fortunate enough to meet and chat with accomplished jewelery designer and shop owner, Victoria Greenhood. It is incredibly refreshing to talk to someone who is so passionate about what they do and where they live. Victoria’s love of jewelry and the island are reflected in the work she produces, and her cozy and sunny shop on Easy Street is the perfect location to display her wares.

Tucked back in a small courtyard you almost feel like you are entering someone’s cottage, and are warmly greeted with a smiling face and walls and cases of sparkling jewels.

Victoria’s love affair with jewelry began at a young age, and really blossomed when she started working with metals and gemstones. She has an amazing eye for design, and really lets the true nature of the stone speak for itself. The clean lines and wearability of her jewelry make these classic pieces that can be passed down from generation to generation while still maintaining their beauty and stylish flair.

I was in awe over the amount of unique and interesting gemstones in her collection, and I can’t stop thinking about a pair of rutilated quartz earrings that I fell in love with as soon as she brought them out of the case (the photo below doesn’t do them justice). Victoria collects gemstones and pearls wherever she travels, and many of her pieces are one-of-a-kind. She gets her inspiration from her gemstone discoveries as well as her customers and their feedback. She is happy to work with an individual’s style and personality to create a custom piece. I, for one, will be dropping hints about those quartz earrings!

If you are looking to expand your jewelry collection, stop in to Victoria Greenhood first and check out her original creations. Friendly and knowledgeable manager Wendy will help you find what you are looking for, or you may even get to meet the designer herself. The store is located at 5 Easy Street and is open from 10am-6pm daily, in season.

Ultimate Guide to Beverages for Your Summer Fete

by Jenny Benzie Advanced Sommelier & Proprietress of Épernay Wine & Spirits Nantucket is full of parties all summer long. Whether fundraising events, small dinner parties, or your annual gathering to thank everyone who has extended courtesies to you throughout the year, there is always a reason to get together on this island. Once the caterer is booked and the guests are invited, it is time to plan which drinks you will serve. With these quick and easy tips, that process will be a breeze. Grab a glass of Miraval RosÊ (maybe a Whales' Tale or Triple Eight Bloody Mary, whatever your choice) and let's get started.

How much will my guests drink? Start by assuming that most attendees will have two drinks during the first hour of the party (since everyone needs to get comfortable and loosen up a bit), and one drink for each hour after that. It may sound like a lot at first, but keep in mind this will eventually balance out for the people who only have one drink throughout the entire event. Besides, most people at parties on Nantucket don't have to drive anywhere when the party is over. In fact, they may even continue the party until long after you have gone to bed.

On average, about half of your guests will prefer vino. It is safe to wager that the other half is split evenly between beer and cocktail drinkers.

This ratio takes into account a person who starts with a Dark and Stormy, then moves on to Whispering Angel RosĂŠ, or vice versa. If you do not plan to serve hard alcohol, then you should budget for more wine drinkers (70%) than beer drinkers (30%). continued on page 47

Katherine Hooker London, favored designer for the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, will be showing her stunning new designs for Autumn and Winter 2014 at Johnstons Cashmere, 4 Federal Street this weekend July 25 to 27 from 10 am to 6 pm, and mid-week by appointment.

“We are thrilled to have Katherine’s 2014 collection here at Johnstons Cashmere,” says shop owner Pam Murphy. “Each piece is stunningly beautiful, with styles to enhance any body type. Wouldn’t we all love to look as immaculately tailored and beautiful as Kate Middleton? And the best part is that they are remarkably comfortable. When I found out Katherine’s cashmere and merino fabrics are made exclusively from our own favorite resource, Johnstons of Elgin, it was obvious we needed to join forces.”

Speaking about her Johnstons collaboration, Katherine Hooker said: “I have always wanted to use cashmere — it’s the most luxurious material, so exquisitely soft and warm. My coats and jackets are designed to be beautiful, comfortable and practical.

Made up in the Johnstons cashmere, they are extraordinary. It’s also important to me as a designer that I know the provenance of, and am assured of, the quality of the materials I use. Johnstons of Elgin are the masters of cashmere, with an extraordinary history and range.”

Katherine’s coats and jackets are beautifully sculpted and infused with a modern edge. Over 150 different fabric swatches of tweeds, silks, linens and cashmeres are available. Color and weave combinations allow clients to match the mood, flavor, trim, lining and even the buttons of their garment exactly as they please. Personal taste is honored at Katherine Katherine Hooker London will return once more this summer the weekend of August 1-3.

Connect Over Coffee

Thai Cuisine & Snack Bar located inside Nantucket Ice 1 Backus Lane Nantucket, MA 02554

by Sarah Teach

Open for Lunch & Dinner

Coffee and Nantucket have mingled like cream and sugar since island native and forty-niner James A. Folger struck gold in creating his namesake coffee giant. More than 150 years later, newly wedded year-round islanders Courtney and Jason Bridges are tackling a venture that would make Folger proud, and their approach is most delicious.

Nantucket’s newest coffee shop, the Handlebar Café, located just steps from Main Street, welcomes patrons who are as comfortable sitting quietly with their iPads as they are banishing their phones for an hour to connect with friends face-to-face. When the Bridges duo first prospected the 15 Washington Street building, they immediately saw that it fit their vision for a true community space. Courtney says, “The roots of a coffee shop go beyond great drinks and munchies; they reach out and bring people together.

Nantucket might be 30 miles at sea, but technology and the open forum of ideas that accompanies it increases our ease and scope of communication.”

The Handlebar is a high-tech café on Nantucket with “coffee, community space, and killer Wi-Fi.” A trend that has been brewing in Silicon Valley for ages, the high-tech coffee shop is especially accommodating to patrons in need of a workspace. At the Handlebar, a daily Wi-Fi password is written on a chalkboard near the register. (Hint, hint.)

Whether you visit the café for work, leisure, or a blend of both, the Handlebar has brewed an atmosphere that’ll keep your eyes open and your spirit sated. Music plays just loud enough. A full bookshelf waits patiently for you in one corner, while an unobstrusive shopping section stands in another. There, you’ll find whimsical coffee-themed goods such as unique mugs (including one made to look like a handful of bike chains), coffee

Top NYC Designer Featured July 30 The Nantucket Historical Association (NHA) is pleased to announce its 3rd annual Antiques & Design Show of Nantucket Designer Luncheon this season will feature top New York City designer Steven Gambrel, on Wednesday, July 30 at 11:30 am at the Great Harbor Yacht Club, 96 Washington Street.

The Designer Luncheon starts with a champagne reception and a multimedia presentation by the designer, followed by a Q & A session. As an additional highlight, there will be a special live auction to benefit the Nantucket Historical Association, featuring one-of-a-kind items and experiences.

“I am excited to give this presentation on Nantucket because I am constantly referencing the idea of learning from local vernacular, and from designing within the long history of a local region as inspiration,” says Gambrel. “Nantucket is certainly a flawless example of an environment’s unique vernacular that has been properly preserved, retaining PHOTO COURTESY NHA the authentic spirit of the place.”

“It is exciting to see the evolution of the Antiques & Design Show of Nantucket,” says Olivia Charney, this year’s NHA Designer Luncheon chair. continued on page 32

AUNT LEAH’S FUDGE

from page 5

Understanding the difference in biodiversity between the Cape and the Islands and the unique ability we have to measure island biogeography, climate change, and the sequestering of gene pools make our island, in effect, a living experiment. Nantucket's physical isolation from the mainland allows for a wide range of genetic, biological, wetland and coastal science, and natural resource protection projects in a relatively closed system. For the past several years, island conservation groups and scientists have banded together to conduct their own research and fund outside research groups investigating our plants, lichens, mushrooms, birds, snakes, ants, spiders, beetles, and everything in between. Some of this research builds upon decades of biological observations and research. We are also interested in recording any detectable biodiversity shifts following hundreds of years of land alterations.

The isolation and geologic history of Nantucket, Tuckernuck, and Muskeget islands have created a cornucopia of distinctive flora and fauna that occupy niches near the geographical and climatological northern and southern limits of their ranges. Many of these species are rare regionally and even globally. In fact, there are more Massachusetts statelisted endangered species on Nantucket than in any other county in the state.

The purpose of the Citizen Science Weekend, and the organization as a whole, is to achieve much more than each of the members organization could do on their own. By combining our resources and expertise, we can entice a variety of scientists and naturalists to come out here and find out what exists on the island before it disappears. Nantucket is unique in its island world, separate from the mainland and therefore able to shelter our trees from Dutch Elm disease and the Asian Long Horned Beetle.

Comparing our species and their development and interactions with other islands nearby or on the mainland can help us understand what to expect in the coming years. For field station directors around the country and land management trusts and conservation groups, biodiversity surveys are cru-

cial in evaluating how to take care of or maintain habitats. Our sandplain grasslands, one of the most endangered habitats in the world, are an example of a very important and rare habitat that is vital to protect.

NBI members have selected 21 specific plots in 21 different habitats in order to coordinate the research conducted and assist scientists in the field that might not be familiar with Nantucket. These plots also allow us to record plant and animal life in the same area over time to document any changes. Each of these ten hectare plots (10,000 square meters or about 2.5 U.S. survey acres) is representative of a different habitat on Nantucket, from salt marshes to sandplain grasslands to scrub oak forest and heathlands.

We ask visiting scientists to perform as much of the research as possible within these plots so that we can maintain a long term database of biodiversity-related changes. These types of measurements are essential for recording, for instance, how global climate change could be affecting the island’s plant and animal species. New for this science weekend, we are expanding our efforts to the new Nantucket Conservation Foundation land at Norwood farms and also doing some projects out at Eel Point and the Linda Loring Nature Foundation to get a handle on the species to be found in that section of the island.

Members of the NBI include: the Linda Loring Nature Foundation, Maria Mitchell Association, Massachusetts Audubon Society, Nantucket Conservation Foundation, Nantucket Garden Club, Nantucket Islands Land Bank Commission, Nantucket Land Council, Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program of Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife, Science Department of Nantucket High School, The Trustees of Reservations, the Tuckernuck Land Trust, the University of Massachusetts Boston Nantucket Field Station and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. These groups do a service for our community by banding together and providing opportunities for citizen scientists, naturalists, educators, the public and scientists to work together. continued on page 15

in the performances, which are distinctive not only for their arrangements but also their mix of dancers from the two companies. “What makes our festival unique is that you would never see the pairings done here,” says Jenness. Angle describes the performances, saying, “The audience will see classical choreography from 1850 or so, and then follow that line up to much more contemporary choreography. Needless to say,” he explains, “the way in which we dance ballet has changed a great deal since the 1800s. I'm trying to show the breadth of work that any one of these dancers can come across in their careers, or just even one week of their careers!” Both performances are held in the Nantucket High School Auditorium, affording all audience members an opportunity to see the dancers’ talents up-close.

The first act leans towards traditional and opens with Bach’s Partita #2 and Emery LeCrone’s 2014 classically informed choreography. As the second piece, Angle chose the BrahmSchoenburg Quartet, which is Brahm’s Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor as orchestrated by Arnold Schoenberg.

The abstract dance is by renowned choreographer and NYCB founder George Balanchine. Finishing the first PHOTO COURTESY KRIS KINSLEY act is Flower Festival in Genzano Pas de Deux, a touching love duet from August Bournonville with music by Eduard Helssted. Dancing the piece are Isabella Boylston and James Whiteside, who will later premiere an excerpt of Lidberg’s new piece. Angle, illustrating the range of the performance pieces, points out that “[v]astly different skill sets are employed to dance these works.”

For the second act, Angle emphasizes modern talent. His first pick is Neverwhere, a 2013 work by Millepied featuring Nico Muhly’s Drones and Viola.

Dramatizing the piece are intricate plastic costumes, as well as lighting by Mark Stankley, the perfomances’ Lighting Director. Following the 2013 work is the premiere preview of Lidberg’s new duet, which Boylston, its soloist and ABT principal, commissioned with her Annenberg Foundation grant. The final feature of the night, Furiant, is a fast-paced duet set to Antonín Dvorák’s Piano continued on page 17

Quintet in A major. Justin Peck, the 26-year-old newly appointed resident choreographer at NYCB, premiered the piece last year at the Young American Grand Prix Gala.

A big believer in live music, Angle has opted for all pieces but Bournonville’s and Lidberg’s to be accompanied by five Juilliard-trained musicians on piano, violin, viola, and cello. “I am very excited that we are having so much live music this year,” says Angle. “First of all because it sounds better in the space and secondly because I am a complete classical music geek.” He explains how the musicians bolster the performances, saying, “[N]othing could be more immediate than watching the musicians’ physical response to their own sounds, which adds another interesting facet to the program.”

The night before the performances, Angle leads a conversation on the performances where company dancers not only demonstrate but also discuss their work. “The lecture/demonstration is a behind-the-scenes look at the dances that are going to be performed the following two nights,” says Jenness. “The Festival really gives attendees a chance to understand what it is that they are looking at.”

“I think we’re so used to looking at things on the screen,” she says. “In a dark room, with other people all experiencing the same thing together—there’s a magic that happens there.” With its intimate settings and discussions, the Nantucket Dance Festival undoubtedly augments the enchanting sensation of live performance.

scoops, cards, and charms, and even some organic, “anti-plastic” beach toys for the kids. The space is breezy on a hot day and cozy on a rainy one.

Though the inside of the Handlebar is beautiful, many summer days on Nantucket urge you outdoors. If you mosey down the smooth-stoned path adjacent to the building, you’ll find yourself in a magical garden, savoring the lingering aroma of fresh coffee. With a grapecovered trellis screening one side of the space and climbing ivy sheltering the other, this lovely little spot may grow into one of the island’s best-kept secrets.

On the front patio, you can unwind on a shaded bench over newly laid brick as Handlebar Cafe owners Courtney and Jason you watch people drift down Washington Street. Boats bob gently in the harbor and ample blue sky embraces the horizon line. Stars and stripes billow outside the nearby American Legion. Though it's been said that the U.S. has trouble emulating the European sidewalk café, the Handlebar isn’t in the duplication business.

Instead, they’re creating something new with a spirit that belongs to all of us: the American sidewalk café, where you enjoy your scrumptious spread however you want.

Of course, a coffee shop must have coffee. Whether you’re itching for an early morning red eye or desiring an evening decaf latte, this coffee bar can handle your order. Jason pulls an espresso and earnestly hands it over the continued on page 31

Love Unleashed from page 6

from Bartletts with a $12 sandwich, how happy can you be with this 80pound and sharp-toothed seagull perched at the edge of your blanket?

So, at the beach, he can’t be off his leash.

Since he can't be off his leash, he can't be in the water. And if he can't be in the water, what is the point of a dog at the beach? He waits with us, in the shade of the beach chairs, pants, and dreams of better days.

Relationships are about give and take. My life expands to take the loving licks that he gives, and it needs to add more things to a summer afternoon than putting Moby in house arrest while we play in the waves.

Sometimes, we need to do what he likes. And what he likes is splashing in the pools and puddles of Squam Swamp with a friend.

We left the cars and dipped into the buggy, dappled shade of that hidden forest. Now freed from his leash and the society of beach sitters, Moby ran circles around us, dipping into the ponds, then leaping over the branches and logs of the woods. He can cut circles, leap, pounce, and invoke the spirits of his ancestors.

It's a fine thing for a dog, and a fine place. Unrestrained and unbidden, he circles us in love, but speeds about in passion. Sometimes the two come together as he and his partner double back on the path and charge us. We slide to the underbrush and let animal passion rush by unchecked.

We know him. We know his ways. And we know that, when we come back to the car, he will sit patiently while we affix the leash one more time and place him into the back so he can trudge his way through the world of feet and leash tugs.

Sometimes, the clearest form of joy doesn’t rise from our own chests and voices, but from the ones we love. Most of the time, love requires a leash. We ask that love sit in civility, pause in politeness, and heel as it is bidden. But that love asks us to be free, to be wild, to run through muddy puddles, to shake off in the middle of the path, and sing out that joy. If our hearts are large enough, we can. We love the things we love for what they are.

all the spirit and spunk of Laurey, Curleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s darling farm girl. Everyone should have an Aunt Eller in her or his life, and local songstress Polly Miller makes a delightful one. Francesca Gallucci is a flirtatious Ado Annie, whose silliness prompts many of the eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laughs. Costume designer Anne

Curly (Ted Bushman) gives Aunt Eller (Polly Miller) a good laugh.

Breeding was smart to stuff Ado Annie into a pink corset over a fluffy, flowery dress. Lots of fathers joke about meeting their daughtersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; suitors while holding a shotgun; Ado Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father Andrew Carnes actually does it. Elloit Russell plays Andrew with a gruffness that almost strikes a fear in you.

Vince Veilleux steps out of his usual hero role and into the carpet-bagging shoes of the fast-talking Persian peddler Ali Hakim. Jason Elliott Brown (who plays Slim) is a fine tenor, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame we only get to hear him solo for a moment. Peter Sendelbach is a suitably unkempt villain as the continued on page 25

counter with a single word: “Taste.” Most of us are accustomed to coffee that is adulterated by minerals and imperfections in the water, but the purity within this little shot glass indicates a flawless filtration system. Courtney is especially fond of their caramel iced coffee, and says it’s been a big summer hit.

Every morning, Wicked Island Bakery delivers fresh breakfast goods.

(Get there early; the scones go fast.) Courtney says, “Some places offer only healthy options, or only full-fat indulgences. We have both. Sometimes you need that buttery goodness that comes from a fresh pastry, and sometimes you’re craving a lighter bite. The common thread in all of our food is deliciousness.” Vegans will love the chia pudding and soy treats; those who don’t play nice with gluten will be pleased with the selection of gluten-free goodies. If you’re jonesing for a cold drink that isn’t coffee, they have a fridge full of bottled waters, organic smoothies, and sparkling beverages.

From the standard (can’t beat an ice cold Coke) to the unheard of (maple water, anyone?), you’ll find your own means to quench that summer day

Connect Over Coffee from page 31

Neither Jason nor Courtney is a stranger to the food service lifestyle.

Jason, a washashore since 1999, brings more than 10 years of Nantucket restaurant experience to the table, and Courtney grew up helping out at her father’s bar in Ohio. She says, “Every time we travel, we seek out the Mom and Pop coffee shop. We’ve talked about opening a coffee shop for years.

When we saw this space at 15 Washington, we looked at each other and had a moment of connection. We were both thinking, ‘This is the place.’”

Even before opening the Handlebar, free time was a luxury for the Bridges family. Courtney just finished her fourth year as a teacher at Nantucket Lighthouse School. Jason works part-time for the Town of Nantucket, and serves as a social media guru through his firm Social Bridge Consulting. The couple founded Nantucket Bike Tours in 2011, and continues to operate the thriving business. Courtney, who is eating a quick lunch on one of the café’s barstools, says, “We like to be busy. We both have an entrepreneurial spirit, which makes it an exciting prospect to own a coffee shop from top to bottom. Both of us got here at six this morning, and we’ll both be here until closing time. It’s like a new baby; you can’t leave it alone.”

In a move that is unconventional for the service industry, the owners have hired their staff based on personality rather than past work experience.

Jason says, “Making a great cappuccino can be learned. Being truly pleasant is built into a person’s core. At the Handlebar, you can count on being served by a staffer who is delighted to make you a vanilla latte as you catch up your afternoon emails, whip up a quick iced coffee for you on your way to work, or serve you some great munchies as you enjoy a leisurely afternoon with a friend. I want the Handlebar to be a staple in the community, where people come to share ideas and add to the collective intelligence of our island.”

The Handlebar is open year-round and seven days a week from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Get to know them better at www.handlebar.coffee, by following the Handlebar on Twitter or Instagram (both handles are @ackcoffee), by liking their Facebook page, or by dropping by 15 Washington Street to get a handle on some coffee.

Guide to Beverages

you have tasted their food before and know that you like it. If not, many caterers offer you a food tasting to ensure that the food served at your event is on par with your preferences. Wine selecting should be the same type of experience. There are a number of wine professionals on the island who can help you decide which beverages will best fit your fete. Your wine pro can also offer sound advice on what temperature the wine should be served, whether it should be decanted, hints on proper glassware usage, and serving tips to maximize your guests’ enjoyment.

As for beer and liquor options, many people find that they like to stick to their standards. But don't be afraid to sample a six-pack to try some new specialty beers or create a signature drink for your party. These are small touches that guests will be sure to talk about and appreciate. Also be sure to have some sparkling water on hand for any designated drivers in the bunch.

Concerned that you may purchase too much alcohol for your event? With these handy formulas, you should feel confident that you have done your due diligence.

Besides, this is the one time that you won't overpay for something that you didn't use. Also, it is possible that you’ll be able to return any unused items that are unopened and undamaged (i.e. label still in good shape and products not exposed to heat).

What this means for you is that once you have done all your homework, you are actually able to relax and enjoy your party. Whether a lobster bake at 40th Pole, your daughter's wedding at the Sconset Casino, or a wine tasting dinner in your home in Madaket, you will feel at ease that you have followed these quick and easy guidelines to perfectly provision the beverages at your event.

from page 9

Here's a simple formula to figure out how much of each libation you would need. A = number of guests and B = guesstimated drinks required per guest (based on length of the party).

Wine: A x B x 0.5 (this is that 50% of people will have wine) / 5 (as in five glasses of wine per bottle) = number of wine bottles needed. This would account for a glass of wine that is approximately 5 ounces. A standard case of wine holds 12 bottles.

Beer: A x B x 0.25 (as in 25% of the people will have beer) = number of 12 oz. beer servings. Beer typically comes in a 6 pack, with a case being four 6 packs.

Spirits: A x B x 0.25 (again as in 25% of the people will have liquor) / 20 (as in 20 drinks per liter bottle) = number of liter bottles needed. Liters are a better value than a 750 ml bottle for liquor and more manageable than a handle (1.75L).

This is just a guideline to get you started.

Remember, these formulas can be adjusted and you know if your crowd prefers one type of beverage to another. Now that you have an idea how much of each beverage you will need, let's narrow it down from here.

What kind of wine will they drink? There are several factors to consider when determining which wines and how much you need each of white, red, sparkling and don't forget the pink (aka Nantucket Reds Juice).

When making your wine selections, consider the time of day you are hosting, the food served, duration, and the overall theme. This is where a sommelier can come in handy. In hiring a caterer, you may have gotten a recommendation from a friend or colleague. Most likely

Featured Restaurant: Arno’s Breakfast & Seafood Restaurant Favorite Breakfast Spot Great for Dinner Everyone knows about the bountiful breakfasts they serve at 41 Main Street in the landmark island restaurant called Arno's Breakfast and Seafood Restaurant—they’re legendary! There’s a constant flow of happy guests starting their days with Omelettes big enough to satisfy the heartiest appetites, deliciously crunchy French Toast with real maple syrup, fluffy Belgian Waffles, perfectly prepared Eggs Benedict, and authentic Huevos Rancheros. It’s no surprise that Arno’s makes the perfect combination of breakfast and seafood: Lobster Eggs Benedict. All are made to order with organic Fried Ipswich Clams eggs and fresh ingredients.

Even the coffee here deserves high praise. If you haven’t had breakfast at Arno’s, you’re missing one of the essential island experiences.

What is not as well-known is that Arno's also serves superb dinners.

From 5 to 9 pm, this casual, unpretentious eatery on Nantucket's Main Street serves a menu that features a wide selection of sparkling fresh seafood, skillfully prepared with fresh ingredients so that even the simplest dishes are impressive.

Jose Carmen Uribe and D a n o v a n Whims demonstrate their creativity and culiLobster Roll nary talents with a classic and deliciously unusual sauces that adorn their perfectly cooked meats and seafood.

This season service at Arno’s is also stepped up. At our recent meal, Oleg, here for the summer from the restaurant world in Miami Beach, gave us energetic and professional service on a level you expect from fancier eateries.

Several starters on the Arno’s dinner menu show true flair, the Arno’s Bruschetta is one. This arrives at table with a delightful char-grilled aroma.

The concept is simple; the execution is spot-on. The bread has just the right amount of toasty crispness to resist getting soggy without being so hard that it hurts the roof of your mouth. The topping of juicy diced tomato, fresh mozzarella, and creamy chunks of avocado is drizzled with balsamic.

Arno’s Bruschetta

Oysters Florentine is a classic showcase for this delicacy. Warm through but not overcooked, the sea-salt flavor of the oysters was enhanced by a topping of baby spinach with touches of garlic, lemon, and cream.

You can enjoy similar flavors in a classic summer dish if you order the Caprese Salad—an illustration of how very well the kitchen here executes simple dishes. The tomatoes are deliciously juicy and sliced very thick. The usual basil garnish adds fresh summer aroma and taste, and the chef showed imagination, too, by serving the salad with some kalamata olives.

Caprese Salad

Fried clams have long been a summertime favorite on Nantucket, and too often they are not quite right. Perhaps a bit overcooked or the breading is too thick, or they arrive cold. Arno’s takes pride in knowing how to do seafood well, and the Fried Ipswich Clams here are just the way they should be: tender, whole-belly clams with a light and crispy breading served piping hot with a very NHA1800YI14Eight_Layout 1 4/18/14 2:58 PM Page 1 nice housemade tartar sauce with hints of citrus.

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

Vol. 44 No. 12 • Our 44th Season!

There are nearly a dozen restaurants on Nantucket who claim to have the best lobster salad or lobster roll on the island. We haven’t tasted them all, but we can tell you that the lobster salad served at Arno’s is very good. Whether you order it to top your Classic Caesar Salad or Baby Spinach Salad or you do as we did and order the New Seafood Tacos England Lobster Roll, you’ll be pleased with sweet, tender lobster meat (knuckle and claw, of course), very light dressed, with just a enough chopped celery for a tasty crunch.

The Lobster Roll is served in a classic split-top bun, buttered and toasted, with a side of German potato salad. It’s a seaside summer picnic on Main Street.

Dinner entrees at Arno’s Breakfast & Seafood Restaurant feature haddock, flounder, salmon, swordfish, halibut, scallops, shrimp, lobster, oysters, clams, and crab. All are well-crafted to show off the fish or shellfish starring in the dish, with accompaniments and sauces designed to enhance rather than mask.

We’re big fans of the Seafood Tacos at Arno’s. Six varieties are offered: haddock, flounder, salmon, swordfish, jumbo shrimp, and halibut, which is what we sampled.

Halibut is nicely seasoned and sauteed, tucked into a warm medium-sized flour tortilla on a bed of cool, crisp lettuce, drizzled with a smoky chipotle aioli, Grilled Norwegian Salmon and topped with slices of avocado, and a chilled relish of tomato, onion, lime, cilantro, and jalapeno. The mix of different flavors and temperatures make these tacos very special. Fried tortilla chips are served alongside with salsa that has a superb back-of-the-throat bite.

The Grilled Norwegian Salmon here is also very good: the salmon steak is cooked through with a slight crust top and botton and a gorgeously moist inte-

rior. It comes apart in big, rich tasting flakes into a slightly sweet ginger-basil sauce.

Even the sides on this entree deserve high praise. The vegetables (a mix of cauliflower, broccoli, and asparagus the evening we dined, but that could change) were cooked to a tasty tender-crispness. The rice is moist but not clumpy and studded with carrot and herbs.

If you cannot decide which fish or shellfish will satisfy you, then try Arno’s Seafood Trio. We Filet Mignon and Lobster Tail usually avoid combo platters: all too often everything is overcooked and the flavors muddled. Not here, though! Each element—swordfish, sea scallops and shrimp—retains its individual flavor and integrity of texture. A pan sauce with lemon and garlic ties them together, and the trio is served with more of the beautifully cooked veggies and mashed potato that is ideal for mopping up the remaining sauce.

Chicken Marsala and Filet Mignon are on the menu for the meat-and-potatoes crowd, but our favorite among Arno’s meat entrees is their pairing of Filet Mignon and Lobster Tail. The lobster is moist and sweet; split to make it easy to pop out of its shell. The beef filet is fork tender and cooked perfectly to temperature. A rich dark reduction is served over the beef and pools lusciously around the mashed potatoes.

Portions at Arno’s are generous, so you’re more likely (as we were) to forgo dessert. If you do indulge your sweet tooth, the dessert choices at Arno’s change frequently, and often feature Key Lime Pie or Cheesecake.

Arno’s is open continuously from 9 am to 9 pm, with lunch sandwiched between breakfast and dinner (great time for the Lobster Roll or the Tacos!). The long hours makes this a great spot to duck into mid-afternoon. You can perch on at seat at the dining bar and connect with friends not so lucky as you to be able to enjoy a cocktail and a bite to eat on Main Street, Nantucket, while you post your vacation photos.

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.
