Maria Mitchell: A Starlit Legacy FRENCH SOLE FALL 2018

by Carl Oscar Olson The night sky above Nantucket is not like most places. Celestial bodies seem to shine differently here, thirty miles out to sea and surrounded by the dark waters of the Atlantic. We are far enough away from big city light pollution, and the air is clearer. On a clear night, this island boasts some of the best stargazing human eyes can behold.

It was one of those clear island nights a little after 10 pm on October 1st in 1847. Maria Mitchell was alone, perched atop the Pacific National Bank on Main Street. where here father was a cashier. While families, friends, and neighbors in the houses below were settling in for the evening, Maria was sweeping the sky with her family’s tiny telescope. She spotted a blurry object that was not noted on any of her star charts: she had discovered a comet, a singular event that would change not only her life but the world as a we know it.

Three months after her discovery, Mitchell published the notice of her discovery in Silliman’s Journal, now the American Journal of Sciences, under her father’s name due to her fear of gender discrimination by the scientific community. A month later she submitted her calculations of the comet’s orbit, memorializing her as the original discoverer of what became known as Miss Mitchell’s Comet. She was honored and celebrated that year at the Seneca Falls Convention, the world’s very first convention centered on women’s rights. By 1850, Mitchell became the first woman to be elected fellow to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Frederick VI, the King of Denmark, was a fellow fan and advocate of astronomy. He decided to award a gold medal to discoverers of new comets,

THEATRE REVIEW: FOOTLOOSE

Playful and Wildly Energetic

10 India Street

DINNER 6pm to 10pm closed Sunday

by Suzanne Daub

BREAKFAST 7am to 1pm I’ve never seen the movie Footloose, so I didn’t know what to expect from the current Theatre Workshop’s stage adaptation.

What I got was an entertaining evening and a story with more substance than many musicals I’ve seen. Thanks to a talented and charismatic cast, skilled directing by Justin Cerne, and fabulous choreography by Molly Cerne, the play is energetic and fast-paced, lively and loud, suggestive and bawdy — overall, it’s a fun and wild ride.

Kyle McClellan as teen outsider Ren leads the charge. He’s expressive and tireless and light on his feet, a delight to watch — and the boy can sing!

McClellan has several scenes in which he proves his acting chops as well.

He is sincere and convincing when Ren has his chat with the Reverend after losing at the Town Council meeting.

Brittany Lacey as female lead Ariel is confident on stage and gives herself completely over to the role of the rebellious, sulky teen who truly cares.

When she and Ren talk about their dreams one night on a railroad bridge, the audience buys it. And in the scene when she leads the campy song “Holding Out for a Hero,” she nearly has the audience on their feet.

Joel Bauman keeps everyone smiling at Willard’s slow innocence and sense of wonder, the perfect foil to Ren’s city-smart charisma. Delightful in singing “Mama Says,” he has the expressive face and comedic timing required for this type of humor.

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

Native Habitats

by Dr. Sarah Treanor Bois Director of Research & Education at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation For people and plants, Nantucket can be a formidable place to call home.

Only the hardiest souls can endure the wind, salt spray, and isolation all year, but those that can are rewarded with the summer sun and temperate shoulder seasons. Our well-drained, nutrient-poor, sandy soils have created highly specialized habitats known for sparse trees and drought-resistant grasses, shrubs, and wildflowers. The diversity of life native to Nantucket are a special lot and should be reverenced as such.

Residents and visitors delight in the coastal grasslands, windswept moors, and pristine beaches. These are just a few of the native habitats to explore. Don’t let its size fool you: From kettle hole ponds to hidden forests, Nantucket is host to a treasure trove of habitats and a diversity of native flora and fauna. While much of this land is open to the public for a walk, ride, and to otherwise enjoy, these places offer more than just beautiful vistas and recreation. They are significant areas of conservation and species protection.

In a recent report, the New England Wildflower Society used botanical data, historical records, and cultural information to assess the current status of the New England flora, highlighting “Habitats in Trouble.” It should be a badge of pride for Nantucketers that two of the five habitats highlighted as “at risk” are prevalent on Nantucket and already under protection; the sandplain grasslands/heathlands and estuarine marshes.

SANDPLAIN GRASSLANDS

AND

HEATHLANDS

Nantucket has some of the largest expanses of intact sandplain grassland and heathland habitat. With much of this landscape lost to development up and down the Atlantic coast, almost 90% of the world’s sandplain grassland occurs on Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, Cape Cod National Seashore, and a slice of Long Island. We know these habitats for their Black Huckleberry, sweet Low- and Highbush Blueberries, fragrant Northern Bayberry, and Little Blue-stem grasses rolling in the winds. These plant communities are host to continued on page 15

Sunday broke into a red sky at morning. At five in the morning, the sun poked through a hole in the fog over Monomoy and lit up the Pacific Bank on Main Street. I thought I was alone on Main Street for this singular sight, but the D.P.W. truck rounded the corner, started emptying the barrels and re-lining them with plastic bags.

The workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hour comes at five in the morning. They come into town.

Some come in from the harbor; you can see them, like crabs, walking in the shallow harbor water from the boats, with back-packs of dry clothes over their heads. They are biking into town in work shirts, prepping for breakfast, baking the rolls, and hoping off the steps. On my early morning drive out Milestone Road, a young woman in a Bartlettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shirt was striding down the Bike Path, miles from the farm.

Afterwards, by six in the morning, the dogs are out. Boys and men are following the puppos from post to bush, in search of the right spot to make their mark on the world. The runners catch and sing to the sun, two by two in righteous exercise. The old men have gathered around a table at the Downyflake, eating the usual and waiting for their coffee to be refilled. Then, at seven, the grandparents lead the sleepy children to the muffins and coffee.

By that time, the workers have punched in and have moved into their third hour of work. The D.P.W. have emptied the trash cans in Sconset before the first tennis ball is served. From there, I imagine, they head to the beach.

So much depends on a yellow pickup truck, loaded with garbage. They move with deliberate speed, never stopping, from barrel to barrel, full to empty, corner to corner. They worked in accustomed silence; nothing needed to be said. The same route and routine day to day, month to month, year to year.

They are essential. Not many will come to town for the fantastic Bistecca Ai Ferri if the streets had several daysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of rotting garbage. Nobadeer has a whole different atmosphere with a week of beer cans and pizza boxes heaped up. Realtors, innkeepers, and surf instructors all depend on a yellow pickup truck making its rounds in the morning.

Telemarketers are not essential. Neither are corporate lawyers, hedge fund managers, public relations consultants, and realtors. If we suddenly eliminated all of those jobs, the nation would take little note nor long remember what the Bridgewater Fund did or what the three key rules for brand management are. On the other hand, if we fire the trash collectors, we would hire them back by noon.

Yet, our island has made some strange economic decisions. The grand whirling Zoroasters of Capitalism have decreedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and we have acceptedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that the people with the most important jobs get paid the least. Teachers, trash men, nurses, and the parking lot attendants of the Steamship all have jobs that are essential, but we pay them all less than the Sommelier at the Great Point Yacht Club. The more important you are to the general welfare, the less you will make. If you work an essential job, society puts a job satisfaction total on your paycheck. Somehow plumbers have figured out how to monetize this. When your need for a plumber is overflowing, they show up and continued on page 13

STYLE

“Style Is Who You Are”

by Suzanne Daub There seem to be few fashion rules that cannot be broken these days, but how do you make a statement and still dress well?

Ray Maurice at Haberdashery of New England has the answer. As Ray puts it “Fashion is what you chase; style is who you are.”

When he opened Haberdashery of New England, Ray Maurice was one of the first to break out of the rigid style mode for men. Forty years later, he is still dressing them in beautifully designed clothing that is refined and effortlessly cool. Now he is introducing ICON, his new exclusive line of apparel.

Born and raised in Maine, Ray was making statements of style at a tender age and became one of the youngest buyers for a well-known retailer. Also an accomplished musician, for a number of years a career in rock and roll (his band Phoenix playing first in local clubs and later filling much larger venues) competed with what was fast becoming a career in fashion.

In 1978, Ray opened his first store in Maine, specializing in men’s apparel with a look that he describes as European Resort Casual. Within two years of opening Haberdashery of New England, he expanded to include women’s attire and soon had more than one store.

In 1982, he opened on Nantucket in a location on Centre Street, moving later to Main Street, and his reputation for carrying high quality men’s and women’s apparel continued to grow. Haberdashery of New England became very much a part of Nantucket. His clients love the fine fabrics, the smart-casual styles, the relaxed ambiance, Ray’s attention to detail, and Eva’s gentle humor and attentive service. With all tailoring included in the purchase of a garment, the fit is always perfect. continued on page 26

Students will design one of the two firstfloor rooms at the NHA’s Oldest House property, and will create concepts, source furnishings from local Nantucket shops, and create a space fitted for modern living while still preserving the essence of this historic property. Students will then discuss their work and creative visions with visitors.

ISLAND PAIRINGS

BYOB Picks

by Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie While Nantucket has a handful of places for a quick grab-and-go coffee paired with a Morning Glory muffin, sometimes you are in need of a hearty breakfast. Whether it is to clear your head from the night before or get your read for the day in front of you, start off your day with a delicious breakfast from Black-Eyed Susan’s. This small, elegant eatery is open bright and early at 7 am and serves until 1 pm. You can order your choice of an egg scramble, omelette and Black Eyed Susan’s best. Don’t forget to share an order of their Pennsylvania Dutch Cakes for breakfast dessert!

What makes it even more fun is that it is a Bring Your Own Bottle establishment. You are probably thinking that this would be amazing for dinner, but who doesn’t enjoy a mimosa with their brunch? Bring a bottle of Pasqua Prosecco to mix with your orange juice there. Prosecco, being a perfect combo of a fresh and lively flavor with a well rounded and balanced bouquet, is suitable for every dish and occasion. This is a sparkling wine made from grapes of the Glera variety grown in the Province of Treviso. Here one finds ideal climatic conditions and soils for obtaining a wine with unique characteristics. It has a brilliant straw yellow colour, with greenish highlights; its nose is fruity and rather intense and it is fresh and well-balanced on the palate.

For those of you who prefer to leave the drinking until after noon (except on special occasions), you can create your own little outdoor dining experience with a sandwich from Something Natural just a few yards out of town on Cliff Road paired with a dainty half bottle (or can) of wine to split. The piled-high sandwiches are fresh and made to order on a variety of choices of bread that are baked on the premises every morning. Don’t forget to get a selection of homemade cookies as well. Better yet, just buy a tub of the cookie dough so that you can bake the cookies at home anytime you want!

An easy way to enjoy a sip of wine with your sammie at the beach is to go with a can of wine. Yes, wine is now canned as well as bottled! Grab a koozie and a refreshing drink of Lar Kan Napa Valley Wine. Made by Winemaker Sean Larkin, he knew no one of sound mind would put an ultra-premium Napa Valley heavy hitter wine into a beer can, so he did! Now you can enjoy the same full-throttle, heavy hitting drinking pleasure of his bottled wine but in a hand sized 375 ml can, which is equivalent to a half bottle of wine. This Sauvignon Blanc delivers a bright mineral nose with creamy tropical fruit on the palate.

If red is your choice of color, the Merlot is bursting with ripe black fruit, chewy tannins and a cocoa-dusted finish. Get them while you can!

With all the fabulous seafood options to eat on Nantucket, it is no wonder that there is an outstanding sushi restaurant on island. The skill and craftsmanship that goes behind producing a top-grade sushi roll should be left to the experts at Sushi by Yoshi and brought to your table for dining pleasure. Touted as Nantucket’s only authentic Japanese restaurant, their complete menu is available for take-out and they can cater your next small to large event as well.

They are also conveniently open seven days a week, year-round as well.

Sushi has a variety of toppings and fillings, so one would think it might be hard to pick a universal wine to pair with such diversity. The key here is to pair it with something that will compliment the most flavors, instead of being

is always a good idea

Footloose from page 5

Jo, and Urleen, work well together, expressive and talented in their singing, dancing, and acting abilities. They were great performing “Somebody’s Eyes.”

Timothy Booth played the part of the brooding Reverend Shaw Moore expertly, with the skill to make the audience empathize with his character’s bitter reaction to losing his son and his fear of losing his daughter without ever turning against him. And the very talented TWN regular Sarah Fraunfelder perfectly portrays Ren’s mother Ethel with sympathy and strength. I loved the duet “Learning to be Silent” she sings so expressively with the Reverend’s long-suffering but stalwart wife Vi, played by Caitlin Lester-Sams.

Kudos to the director and choreographer for a tight production and to Scenic Designer Peter Waldron for making the stage seem large enough to depict the many scenes of Chicago and Bomont with his suggestive sets. Angela Carstensen’s many costumes perfectly evoke the 1980s. Sean McGinley does a superb job with the audio so the music rocks the audience without blasting anyone out of their seats. Audience members were tapping their toes in time to the many familiar and infectious tunes throughout the play.

Footloose is fun and playful romp—perfect summer theatre—you’ll leave TWN’s Bennett Hall with a smile on your face and a song in your heart. Don’t miss it!

Theatre Workshop of Nantucket’s Footloose is playing through August 25. For tickets call the box office at 508-228-4305 or reserve a seat online at theatreworkshop.com

Yellow Pickup from page 8

negotiate the value of their work immediately. And you pay with a smile on your face and a flourish on the check.

The end result of our cock-eyed capitalism has been fish slapping us all summer. Over this island, advertising executives, bankers, and management consultants are waking up to a late morning brunch while the early morning workers have been slipping away to less foggy environments. We need to hire cops. We need to hire nurses. We need to hire teachers. We need to hire firefighters. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to hire Client Success Managers and Curators at jewelry stores. In five years, Nantucket will have one old cop, one old fireman, and a crowd of sommeliers, diamond curators, and Client Experience Consultants staring at a rotting dumpster in an alley.

My son and I have been touring colleges over the summer. Almost all of the schools we have visited have included a stop in the Career Services Office but not in the gym or in the cafeteria. The school wants to connect its graduates to careers seamlessly; the catch phrase is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Design your Future.â&#x20AC;? They have counselors appointed for each student during freshman year, which will put them in global, research, and internship opportunities. Every single Dad on the tour loves the miasma of money and satisfaction that gets pumped out of these buildings. Including me.

I doubt that they offer any externships to the D.P.W. But they should.

A moment of cold reflection ruins the happy hubris of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Design Your Future.â&#x20AC;? Your future comes to you in quiet moments of luck and hard decisions made at the kitchen table in the early morning. By the time we hit forty, we realize that we are living a future we did not design. Perhaps it is better than we hoped, perhaps it is worse, but it is almost definitely not what we imagined when we were 21. Life drops you off the table. Every forty-year-old knows that bouncing is a much better skill than soaring.

Even if he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really â&#x20AC;&#x153;Design his Future,â&#x20AC;? I do want my son to have meaningful work. Meaningful work is a job that can be explained to a sixyear-old in the moments before recess and snack time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mommy helps cure sick people.â&#x20AC;? Or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daddy cleans the trash from downtown.â&#x20AC;? If Sunday night is not painful, you are doing meaningful work. If you can talk straight for ten minutes without screaming about what you did today, you are doing meaningful work. If you are mending the world, you are doing meaningful work.

If his work comes on the back of a D.P.W. truck at five thirty in the morning, so be it. The world rests on his shoulders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a man is called to be a street sweeper â&#x20AC;Ś He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.â&#x20AC;? Far better than the hedge funds.

Native Habitats from page 7

a number of regionally and globally rare species as well, including the Eastern Silvery Aster, Nantucket Shadbush, and the spectacular New England Blazing Star, among others.

While plants are the cornerstone for ecosystems everywhere, sandplain grasslands and coastal heathlands support a diversity of life found in few, if any, other locations. Northern Harrier hawks and Short-eared Owls hunt and nest in the grassland/shrub mix. Grasshopper sparrows eat, sleep, and nest on the ground – impossible to do off-island where skunks, raccoons, and other nest predators are about. Grasslands and heathlands are host to a multitude of insect fauna including at least 19 rare species. This includes important pollinators, dragonflies, butterflies, and moths.

WHAT’S

BEING DONE?

Nantucket was ahead of its time in creating so much open space, and, in doing so, it created some of the best examples of sandplain grassland and coastal heathland on earth. We are lucky to be on the side of preservation and maintenance rather than restoration and reclamation seen in other areas.

Aside from development, lack of management and fire suppression have been the primary threats to these early successional habitats in other areas.

Nantucketers have become accustomed seeing smoke in the heathlands along the south shore during the shoulder seasons. These spring and fall management burns are one way these habitats are maintained. Mowing, tilling, and harrowing are other tools in the toolbox used to improve grassland habitat.

Non-native invasive plants such as Spotted Knapweed, Scotch Broom, and Black Swallowwort also pose a threat to native landscapes. Organizations like the Invasive Plant Species Committee of the Nantucket Biodiversity Initiative organize plant pulls in sensitive areas and promote native plantings on private and public properties.

support native species: • Visit a sandplain grassland and heathland property and see it for yourself. The island’s south coast is the place to be for these habitats with many Nantucket Conservation Foundation and Nantucket Land Bank properties open to the public. The Linda Loring Nature Foundation offers weekly plant and nature walks on its heathland/grassland Eel Point property. And Nantucket Walkabout guide Peter Brace has some tours that include them.

• Support your favorite island conservation organization. Many of these organizations work hard to acquire, maintain, manage, and study these important habitats. Help their cause for your own enjoyment of these amazing places.

• Plant native where you can. What we plant in our yards determine what will populate our yards. This small effort can help increase native bird and pollinator diversity including bees and butterflies.

too far of a reach in any one direction. Enter Sake, which is alcoholic beverage made by polishing rice to remove the bran (think of it akin to removing the skins from wine grapes) and fermenting the core just like you do grape juice for wine. Akishika Shuzo “Bambi” Sake is packaged in a glass one cup for a perfect sized serving of 180 ml. Compact, dry, clean and even, this super approachable “deer” of a beverage has flavors of rice, oatmeal, wheat and a touch of nougat. It is typically served chilled, but you will see the flavors come to life as you let in warm in your glass jar throughout the meal.

Perhaps your day has come full circle and you would like to have an intimate dining experience without having to do the dishes or clean up anything after. Centre Street Bistro is your choice for charming American bistro that offers your choice of seating from a cozy, rustic dining room to an in-season outdoor terrace. The food here at this year-round restaurant is pure and honest, creative yet uncomplicated and unpretentious. Owners Tim and Ruth Pitts met after attending culinary school and both honing their skills on island. Be sure to enjoy their famous baked goat cheese tart as they invite you to dine with them at this classic Nantucket restaurant destination that also happens to BYOB friendly.

With so many menu choices available, a safe bet would be the wine-drinking friendly option of a lighter style red. Baron De Ley Rioja Reserva is a lovely Spanish beauty mainly made from the Tempranillo grape. It is aged 20 months in new American oak casks, and then aged even further in bottle for two years before being released. Traces of toffee and wild herb nuances are followed by a red berry fruit mix on the palate with a soft, supple finish. The aftertaste will linger well with the memories of your delicious dining experience.

On the rare occasion that you happen to not finish the bottle of wine with that you brought with you, it is always generous to leave a little splash for your server to taste at the end of their shift. It is also recommended to take an extra bottle (or can) of wine with you just in case your first bottle is not up to par or perhaps you meet new friends and want to share a toast to the good life on Nantucket with them!

His loyal customers were devastatedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; so much so that they came up with a plan. With one foot out the door, Ray agreed to meet with Jonathan Raith at his new building on Easy Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Robert Young introduced us.

here: we come in early and have our morning coffee on the porch...it’s becoming a gathering place.”

Though there are many classics in Haberdashery of New England, Ray has never sold “the same old” styles. After years of researching fabrics, considering styles, and traveling to Italy to create his brand, they are ready to launch ICON— classics with a twist.

“What we are creating, people will find nowhere else!”

Clothing that stands the test of time and is fun to wear.

Ray showed us his Ultimate Biker Jacket for women, crafted in supple leather and sporting the classic #10 zipper with added design elements like padding and quilting. The jacket is light yet substantial with clean, crisp, flattering lines. This is a biker jacket destined to become a favorite piece in your wardrobe.

Eva also modeled an ICON coat that is perfect for women with a certain sense of style: every detail of it carefully designed, from the Zelander wool to the Cobrax snaps and fine lining. It unifies aesthetics and practicality. “When I say this is the best coat you’ll ever put on your back, it’s true,” said Ray. At Haberdashery of New England at 14 Easy Street, you’ll find clothing of quality—pieces that are fun to wear, that you’ll put on time and time again— styles that stand the test of time.

and though he died in 1839, his son, Christian VIII, carried on his wishes.

After some debate and procedure, more than a year later, Maria’s gold medal finally arrived on Nantucket.

Mitchell was born on August 1, 1818 in the town of Nantucket. She was the third of 10 children and was raised a Quaker, a religion practiced by many islanders of the day. She started her learning at a young age and attended Elizabeth Gardener's Small School. At the age of 9 she moved on to the North Grammar School. Two years following the founding of that establishment, her father built his own school on Howard Street, which Maria attended not only as a student, but also as a teaching assistant to her father.

Learning was always encouraged in the Mitchell household. Maria’s father taught her basic astronomy using his personal telescope, a spark that would start fires in mind and around the world in the years to come.

Thanks is also due in part to the religion under which she was raised.

Quaker values held equality between the sexes high, especially when it came to intellect and education. Furthermore, Nantucket’s global importance as a worldwide whaling port meant that the wives, sisters, and daughters of sailors were often left for months, if not years, while the men of the house were at sea. Household and business affairs were the sole responsibility of the women on Nantucket, a fact that fostered an air of independence and equality for island women.

In 1856, Mitchell left her position at The Atheneum as the island’s first librarian and went on to travel the country and the world. In 1865, she became the first professor of astronomy at Vassar College, and was named director of the observatory there. Thanks in part to Mitchell's work at the school, Vassar College enrolled more students in mathematics and astronomy than Harvard University for more than 20 years.

Since the world tends to forget, many efforts have been and continue to be made to ensure Maria Mitchell lives on. She has been inducted into the United States National Women’s Hall of Fame, and in 1989 was named a National Women’s History Month Honoree by the National Women’s History Project. She was the namesake of a World War II Liberty Ship, The S.S. Maria

Mitchell, and New York’s Metro North commuter line has a train named for her, “The Maria Mitchell Comet.” The internet search engine Google even paid tribute with a “doodle” on her birthday in 2013.

The most important act of memorialization is without a doubt the creation of the Maria Mitchell Association. Founded in 1902 by former students, family members, and admirers, their mission for well over a century has been to preserve the legacy of astronomer, naturalist, librarian, and educator, Maria Mitchell. She saw the magic to behold in science and the world around her and was always an advocate of the hands-on approach to learning. The MMA carries that torch today by fostering all of the sciences on island.

The MMA is proud to offer programs, museums, and other learning experiences for people of all ages with two observatories, a natural science museum, an aquarium, and a wide variety of history related programming throughout the year. All provide an approachable avenue that make the sciences both fascinating and fun. One simple motto – “Explore, Educate, Enjoy” – captures the essence of the programs and activities.

This year, the MMA is celebrating the 200th birthday of Maria Mitchell all season, with festivities at a number of locations throughout the summer.

This Wednesday, August 1, is Maria Mitchell’s birth date, so the MMA is planning a day filled with fun and science. A parade in honor of Maria Mitchell begins at 12 noon on Wednesday, August 1st. Kids of all ages are invited to line up and march from the Atheneum at 1 India Street to Maria’s birthday party on Vestal Street where there will be live music from Mitchell’s era, falconry demonstrations, live animals, astronomy activities, face painting, sidewalk art, refreshments, and more. At 9 pm, the MMA will host one of their Open Nights at the Loines Observatory. Throughout Maria’s birth day, all will be admitted free to all of the sites and museums in the MMA network.

Before and after the birthday party on August 1, stop by the Visitor Center on Federal Street for a “Walking in the Footsteps of Maria Mitchell” walking map and a commemorative enameled pin. Watch for the Pop-Up Science Carts listed in our calendar of events, and visit the aquarium, museums, observatories, and the Historic Mitchell House, the location of Maria Mitchell’s birth.

A full list of Maria Mitchell Association sites, classes, workshops, and events can be found at mariamitchell.org.

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

Featured Restaurant: Saltbox tavern + table Unwind & Enjoy at a New Island Favorite

by Carl Oscar Olson We all have one of those goto spots. Maybe it’s down the street or around the corner, in your hometown or vacation destination. It doesn’t matter who you are, regulars and first-timers alike feel right at home right away, and that’s why they keep coming back. On NanBurrata tucket, Saltbox Tavern & Table is the place where everybody knows your name.

New this season, located away from the hustle of town and conveniently near the airport and WAVE bus stops, Saltbox is just plain comfortable. From the spacious indoor dining room, breezy patio, and two fully stocked bars indoors and outside, it is the place to be while on-island. You’ll be greeted by smiling staff and the happy hum of conversation before bellying up to their from-scratch menu, daily buck-a-shuck, and did we mention cocktails? (cover photo) The classic Mudslide is perfected, so dive in to a delicious dance of rum, Kahlua, and Irish cream that is so sweet and satisfying. The Spicy Senorita is something different, mixing watermelon juice, ghost pepper infused tequila, and fresh lime. It’s fresh and fiery, bringing out a savory side of your favorite summer fruit.

The Tuna Tartare

crowd favorite at Saltbox is the White Sangria, a citrus-forward, fruity, and refreshing remedy for those hot days of summer.

Everything that comes out of Chef Jermaine Scarlett’s kitchen is made inhouse.

There are no shortcuts or timesavers, and you can taste the difference.

The starters are all Grilled Romaine sized to share, but they’re so good you might not want to.

Fresh, milky Burrata is served atop a bed of romaine and arugula, drizzled with tangy balsamic, skirted with juicy grilled peaches and warm, toasty bread. The flavors all speak for themselves but when combined they create a sumptuous, seasonal treat. The new classic Steak and Cheese Egg Rolls (cover photo) are undeniably fun finger food, served sliced with a horseradish mustard sauce for dipping.

Deliciously cool Tuna Tartare comes with fresh fried wonton chips that were still warm. Flavors of soy and sesame sing with just the right sizzle of spice in every bite combined with crunchy cucumber cubes and creamy avocado.

perfect spheres of Arancini were well sauced with an eye-opening fra diavolo. Peppered with parmesan, the crispy fried shell on the outside gives way to creamy, rich risotto inside.

The flamekissed flavors of the Grilled Romaine make it an easy favorite for us. Two whole Lobster Mac & Cheese hearts are lightly charred on the outside and juicy within, drizzled with a classic Caesar dressing, parmesan, and thick cut crispy bacon. We added tender, perfectly grilled shrimp to make it a meal.

After those five fantastic first courses, we couldn’t wait to see what our entrees had in store. Lobster makes everything better, so the Lobster Mac & Cheese (cover photo) was a no brainer. Simply one of the best cheese sauces we’ve tasted boasts creamy English cheddar that coats every inch of this dish. The shells of pasta scoop it all up so every bite has a burst of goodness, and the garlic bread is ideal for mopping up what’s left behind.

16 oz. Ribeye

serves as a stuffing component, soaking up all the succulent sauce.

Six jumbo sea scallops, shrimp, and a huge helping of lobster made the Seafood Bowl easy to love. Served over al dente linguini and a fragrant coconut cream sauce, the attention to every detail in this dish was apparent.

Every morsel of goodness was perfectly prepared.

You can’t go wrong with a steak, and the 16 oz Ribeye was just right.

It’s served bone-in and cooked to perfection, then covered with a blue cheese compound butter that melts right in to the meat. The pommes frites alongside are golden brown and beautiful while the green beans and carrots added an essential fresh crunch.

If you still have room for dessert, most of the options are ever-changing at Saltbox. That means you can be sure that they’re always fresh, made daily, and based simply on what’s fresh and available. On the other hand, for more reliable sweets, you can always depend on freshly flavored Sorbets and Ice Creams like mango, raspberry, or blood orange.

Summer strawberries are abundant in our garden, but we can’t quite get enough. Strawberry Shortcake was a welcome surprise at the end of our meal. Sugary, ripe red berries rest on featherweight angel food cake that acts like a sponge to the juicy red sauce spooned on top. Lucky for us, our favorite coffee confection Tiramisu was on the list. Dusted with cocoa and drizzled with chocolate, it was rich and moist and the perfect finale. Both were decked out with fresh whipped cream, making for a picture-perfect finish.

If you’re tired of the beaten path and the same old spots, then maybe it’s time to try something new. Get to Saltbox Tavern and Table for a fun, refreshing, and reliable island eatery.

Chicken and Waffles

A Nantucket take on the southern staple, Chicken and Waffles had our mouths watering. Deep fried and decadent, it’s gravy smothered and served with lightly sautéed carrots and zucchini. The waffle is well seasoned and

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.
