The Magic Returns In honor of the new addition to the world famous book series, Nantucket Book Partners is hosting a week-long celebration of all things Harry Potter.

The eighth story in the series about everyone’s favorite wizard, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, picks up 19 years after the ending of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The story follows Harry, now an overworked employee at the Ministry of Magic, and his younger son Albus Severus Potter. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted.

As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

The island festivities start on Saturday, July 30 at 9:30 am with a Harry Potter Story Time with Wendy Hudson in Nantucket Bookworks, 25 Broad Street. Later that evening from 11:00 pm to 12:30 am there will be a midnight release of the new addition to the series. Get your copy of the new book in a Sorting Hat Ceremony under the book tree. There will also be games, giveaways, prizes Butterbeer from ackFresh, a Harry Potter appearance, a costume contest, and more!

On Sunday July 31, fly on over to Cisco Brewery for an adult Harry Potter party with a Butterbeer tasting, costumes, a photo booth, along with giveaways, prizes, and all the rest the brewery has to offer.

Get to Mitchell’s Book Corner at 54 Main on Thursday, August 4 at 6 pm for Cauldron at the Corner, where Professor Trelawney (played by Kathy Richen) will be doing card readings.

Start next weekend off with a scare on Friday August 5 with Grey Lady Ghost Stories featuring a ghost tour with Ravenclaw’s ghost, “The Grey Lady”.

Host your celebration, rehearsal dinner, wedding, or wedding brunch with us!

dinner nightly from 5:30pm bar opens at 5pm

Nantucket

by Design Nantucket Island is defined by its rare beauty and unique history. That beauty is alive in the gorgeous groomed hedges of ‘Sconset to the untamed splendor of the seemingly endless conservation land. Much of this beauty is achieved by design, so in celebration, the Nantucket Historical Association is hosting a week of events called Nantucket by Design.

Starting on August 2, the NHA will honor the highest caliber of creative design across the many fields on display across the island. Nantucket by Design features national leaders as well as local talent, expanding the topic of “design” to include architecture, landscape design, and more.

This week of events is the premier fundraiser for the NHA, with designer lectures, luncheon panels, cocktail receptions, a family picnic, local designer vignettes, work by students from the New York School of Interior Design, and a festive gala at the magical Oldest House property on Sunset Hill. The money raised will allow the NHA to continue the work of keeping Nantucket’s history alive for residents and visitors throughout the year.

The events begin with a VIP John Ike, Thomas A. Kligerman, and Joel Barkley

Finding Common Ground on Taxes

July 28 - August 3, 2016

Page 5

EMILLY BROOKE RUBIN JEWELRY DESIGN

by C. Oscar Olson The word “bipartisan” seems to be more and more a stranger to our tongues in these tumultuous political times. It seems, sadly, in our troubled two-party system, progress is a thing of the past.

A constant encumbrance plaguing our United States today is polarized governance. There’s no doubt the people of this country are restless and worried, looking to the left and to the right for answers and solutions. But for one night on Nantucket, two sides can come together constructively and debate an issue that affects us all: Tax Reform.

At 8 pm on Sunday, July 31, a small group of citizens known as the Common Ground Committee will do just that. Join them at the Unitarian Meeting House on Orange Street for a civil discussion on tax reform, featuring distinguished panelists Hon. Barney Frank and Larry Kudlow. This is a chance to bring light, not heat, to much needed public discourse… without asking anyone to sacrifice principles for the mere sake of agreement.

The Honorable Barney Frank served as a Democrat in The United States House of Representatives from 1981 to 2013.

He also served as chairman of the Honorable Barney Frank

Creative Island Housing Solutions

Sail Endeavor a Nantucket tradition. established 1982

by C. Oscar Olson Every community, especially small-town tight-knit communities like Nantucket, will periodically experience growing pains. Whether they come in the form of a stumbling economy or traffic gridlock, the people must come together to find a solution.

With regards to growing pains, one of the most persistent and biggest issues facing the community has to do with housing. For better or worse, much of the land on Nantucket has been set aside for conservation, making new construction a rare opportunity. That makes housing very limited and, in turn, extraordinarily expensive. It often takes fresh eyes and a new perspective to see through the fog of bureaucracy and building codes, and thanks to a group called the Young Creatives, it looks like positive change is on the horizon for Nantucket.

According to Laura Cunningham, a member of the Young Creatives, they are “a tribe of socially focused and driven young professionals who host events in community spaces that allow our members to share their creative talents.” Using think tanks, members work to overcome some of the biggest challenges facing Nantucket today. And despite their title, they are not defined by age. Young Creatives is a diverse group that shares a fresh, youthful view, and positive outlook common among those of us who are young at heart. They depend heavily on creativity in any endeavor.

Lack of housing for permanent residents of Nantucket is becoming a crisis. This is clear to Laura and the Young Creatives. As a result of this, they have created The Nantucket Cooperative Project, or TNCP. Working as a nonprofit corporation, it is the goal of the NCP to provide affordable housing to Nantucketers under the age of 34.

Honoring an Artist: A Retrospective on David Hostetler When passing by Centre Street, it is hard not to notice the array of eclectic sculptures on view inside the Hostetler Gallery.

David Hostetler’s sculpting and carving career spans over an evolving and successful sixty-one year period.

One can easily see his development of his approach to sculpting the female form. The earliest sculptures are abstract, and then flow into folk inspired carvings to the newly developed stylish model-like forms.

This Friday, July 29, from 6 to 8 pm, Susan Hostetler will host an continued on page 28

Next Time

by Robert P. Barsanti In the summer, you see the most amazing things. I sat on the bench on South Wharf and watched a young man with lime green shorts and a white polo shirt eat a chocolate ice cream while he walked around and stared at his phone. It’s summer and Pokemon is here.

He brought a few thousand friends. Apparently, they all rushed at DU and were bringing their girlfriends for the weekend. I was waiting for an old friend, P, who was coming over the weekend. P. had travelled up from Oklahoma to visit her daughter and her new grandchild in Medfield, then was returning to her island home to revisit a few old friends. We had once shared beers in a jeep and zipped around the island together in the glistening green fields of my youth. Then life sent everyone spinning on, with only Christmas cards between us.

I watched another boatload come down off of that new aluminum tinker toy monstrosity and emerge victorious into the arms of home-owning friends and relations. If I didn’t see every person getting off the boat as another car backed up on Sparks Avenue or Old South Road, I could be a little more warm hearted to young men being welcomed into the arms of young women, old women embracing old women, and old men hugging their golf bags. Everyone who gets off a boat wants to be welcomed, even to a place as chaotic as Nantucket in July. Of course, P was not in the first wave.

For those of us who remember fondly the quiet streets (and fairways) of October, July comes in a mob. But we live in a shop display window and cannot see the street. For everyone on this boat, who just made it through an hour wait to get over the bridge in Bourne, then struggled through the trucks and the rotaries in Hyannis in order to get a boat, they walk out into the salty south-west breeze and breathe clear. They have made it behind the glass and into world of Ralph Lauren mannequins and stylized lobster traps. I waited until they began ushering the workmen up the gangplank, then I left. A text message came for me in an hour, with apologies; “Next time.”

I was disappointed, but not surprised that P didn’t return to me. Lives separate. In America, we travel. We settle into a house with a banker and a paycheck, then when the paycheck wants us to move, we move to a new banker. Once there, we make new friends while we try to keep the old, but family and work conspire to keep us focused on the “here and now,” not on the “there and then.” We need to collect our Pokemon. But when you look in the mirror at the end of the day, you see the person that the “there and then” made. We are a sum of all those who loved us, added up in pencil, written on butcher's paper, and tucked into our wallets. When we forget the sum, we forget who we are.

The older I get, the more appreciative I am for anyone who bought me a meal. I know me, I have been around me for a very long time, and I know what I am worth. Yet, people have bought me prime rib from the Dog Team Tavern, buffalo wings from the Atlantic Cafe, or pan-fried lobster from The Company of the Cauldron. I have reached an age when I appreciate those kindnesses, all of them written up as receipts. But, as our lives separate, we continued on page 29

What Is This?

by Katherine Brooks with MMA Curator & Deputy Director Jascin Leonardo Finger Heads: the King of Denmark.

Tails: the goddess Urania. “A blazing and fiery comet flashes upon us... it is not strange that a slight shudder comes to even an intelligent observer. For how much do we know of them?� –Maria Mitchell This coin is actually too big to flip; it is a solid gold medal presented to Maria Mitchell in 1848 for her discovery of Mitchell’s Comet in 1847. One side of the medal presents a portrait of the King of Denmark while the reverse depicts the Goddess of Urania, muse of astronomy. Urania has a globe in her left hand and a stylus in her right. Above her are the words (in Latin) “Not in vain do we watch the setting and rising of the stars,� while above her are the words “Cometa Visus 1st Oct. 1847,� and the outer edge of the medal is engraved with Maria’s name.

At 10:30 p.m. on October 1, 1847 from the roof of Nantucket’s Pacific National Bank, Maria Mitchell spotted a comet (a frozen mass made of rock and ice that orbits the Sun). Located in the sky at “five degrees above Polaris,� this comet made her famous. For a five-day period after the initial sighting, she observed the comet’s motion, only relaying the data to her father, William Mitchell.

Maria was at first hesitant about sharing her discovery – wanting to be “tolerably sure� that it was indeed a comet. Her father finally encouraged her to let him share the information with the Boston Harvard Observatory. Newspapers were soon spreading the word about “Miss Mitchell’s Comet.�

Margaret Moore Booker explains in her biography of Maria Mitchell, Among the Stars, the importance of spotting a telescopic comet: “The discovcontinued on page 14

FAMILY EXCURSIONS

Nantucket Disc Golf

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

Having a family has allowed me to try fun new things and get out of my comfort zone once in a while. One excursion I went on the other day was disc golfing. Let me start by saying, I am terrible at all Frisbee related activities.

My dog often becomes frustrated with me during a game of fetch. However, disc golf is very forgiving if you are simply playing for fun.

Nantucket has its very own tranquil course tucked back in the South Pasture of the State Forest just off Lover’s Lane, which can be accessed off of Old South Road or down the Boulevard. There is a very convenient parking lot and many walking trails. Yes, this is where I went blueberry picking last week! Once you have parked, a large information board that includes a map of the 18-hole course, the rules of disc golf, information about the sport, and a little advertisement about the Nantucket Disc Golf Open welcomes you. Along the bottom are yellow scorecards with a map and some of the basics. There are also small pencils that should be returned upon course completion.

What is disc golf? It is very similar to golf, in that the object is to complete each hole with continued on page 23

by Amy Jenness In 1890, a group of island citizens said they were concerned about declining morals in the island’s youth: “It is a fact that the moral sentiment of the community is becoming tainted, and to preserve it from entire corruption, these gentlemen have conceived a plan, which, with the support of our own townspeople, who are directly interested, will tend to strengthen the rising generation in body, which means a stirring influence upon the mind, and therefore an improvement, or sustaining of the morals,� they wrote in a letter to the Inquirer & Mirror.

Billiard and bowling saloons had been denizens of Nantucket and ‘Sconset streetscapes since the 1830s, but the prospect of bowling in a tavern made it unattractive to a large part of the island’s population until a group of concerned philanthropists decided to open the Athletic Club.

The club purchased land on South Water Street, now owned by the Nantucket Yacht Club, and opened a complex of buildings in 1905 that included had a performance hall, a library, a billiards room, and a game room. Included in the complex was an 89-foot long narrow building that jutted out over the water atop a set of pilings. It housed a two-lane bowling alley.

By the close of summer 1905, an island-wide winter bowling league had been established and Nantucket enthusiastically took up the sport. The alley featured duck pin bowling and local boys reset the pins. Within a few years, one of the highlights of winter was a competition between island and Brockton leagues.

Beginning in 1909, members of the Athletic Club also competed with ‘Sconset bowlers at a new alley at the Sconset Casino. The casino association, which owns and operates the village’s tennis club and social center, constructed a new building to house a two-lane alley.

In town, the Athletic Club added tennis courts and more buildings. In its first ten years the club shifted between hosting dances, parties, tennis for summer visitors and supporting a thriving winter schedule of bowling leagues continued on page 16

ery of a telescopic comet was considered more important than a comet that could be seen by the naked eye because it allowed the astronomer to see a new comet appear earlier in the sky on its way towards the sun.” And that importance was not lost on people in positions of power around the world.

The King of Denmark, Frederic VI, decreed that anyone who discovered a telescopic comet was to be awarded a gold medal. Between Maria’s original hesitancy toward sharing her discovery and cross-continental communication, the gold medal was first presented to Father Francesco de Vico, the director of the Observatory at the Collegio Romano, instead of Maria. Father Francesco de Vico was awarded the gold medal after he spotted and reported the comet on October 3, 1847. But after months of debate and support on behalf of Maria Mitchell from many well-known astronomers in the United States, the committee finally decided to award the gold medal to Maria, who had spotted the comet on October 1.

Maria Mitchell was the first professional female astronomer in the United States, the first woman to receive the gold medal from the King of Denmark, the first American to receive the medal, and the first woman to be elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

At twelve years old, Maria assisted her father, William, by counting the seconds of a solar eclipse from their sitting room on Vestal Street. Maria had always had a curiosity and aptitude for learning and astronomy.

Maria believed in learning-by-doing. She was well read and taught herself celestial mechanics—a study that allows astronomers to calculate the motion of objects in space—higher mathematics, Latin, German, and in later life, Greek! Maria’s love for books, discovery, and astron-

omy helped her discover the comet that made her famous; she was even hired by the U.S. Nautical Almanac to compute the ephemeris of Venus, which was used as a pseudo “star” for navigational purposes by sailors at sea. Despite her new found attention and fame from her discovery of the comet, Maria remained the librarian of Nantucket’s Atheneum and continued her personal studies and astronomical observations.

The prized medal itself is only brought out to the public once a year—August 1st marks the celebration of Maria’s birthday and the Maria Mitchell Association celebrates with a birthday party along lower Vestal Street which this year includes period music, live falconry demonstrations, astronomy activities, and, of course, the annual opportunity to view Maria’s gold medal.

If you too are intrigued with astronomy and natural science as Maria was, or about the history surrounding the Mitchells, stop by the Maria Mitchell Association for a tour, or celebrate with the MMA staff and interns on August 1 from 1 to 4 pm for Maria Mitchell’s 198th Birthday Party on Vestal Street, just a few steps from the Civil War Monument on Main. This free event is open to all ages.

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.

Bowling from page 13

for island residents.

But the island’s passion for bowling had cooled by 1915 and the Athletic Club suffered financially.

The Inquirer & Mirror noted in October, “Unquestionably interest in bowling as a sport has declined in Nantucket, interest in the Athletic Club has lessened, and time has brought changes which bear weighty consideration...Apparently the Athletic Club has taken a backward step, for this fall its doors are closed for the first time in many years.”

The Athletic Club struggled for five more years until it reorganized as the Nantucket Yacht Club in 1920. The yacht club continued to hold bowling matches for five summers, but eventually replaced the bowling lanes with a boathouse.

The Sconset Casino also felt the decline in bowling’s popularity. In 1918 the casino opened its bowling alley to the public for the first time, but even that couldn't reverse the decline. The Casino sold the building in 1920 to the Coffin family, who moved it across the street and used it for storage.

Eighteen years later bowling returned to Nantucket, this time on Main Street. Nantucket selectmen approved a permit for A. Preston Manchester to open a bowling alley where the restaurant Met on Main is now located. Manchester did need to assure the town that his alley would be soundproofed, however. And once again winter bowling leagues, this time a woman’s and a men’s league, started up in the fall of 1943. Teachers, firemen, Coast Guardsmen, and groups of all kinds formed teams and played one another weekly. Island

teams began to also compete with Martha’s Vineyard teams. Manchester’s bowling alley operated until 1949.

The island’s last bowling alley was opened by Roger Young in 1964. Young, who owned Young’s Bicycles on Steamboat Wharf, opened Mid-Island Bowl off of Old South Road with eight lanes set up for candlepin bowling.

In the fall of 1970, two Nantucket 13-year-olds, Harvey Young and Marcia Mayo, competed well against other Massachusetts kids for many weeks on the Boston television show “Winning Pins.” The Inquirer & Mirror’s “Here and There” column took note. “Nantucket bowlers have continued to bring favorable publicity to the island, as well as proving to those on the mainland that our little island has "good things in small packages," as witness Harvey Young's performance on "Winning Pins are Candlepins" for so many weeks. Now, for a second appearance, comes Marcia Mayo to this Saturday's telecast of the program. Remember to watch — Marcia Mayo on "Winning Pins" at one o'clock Saturday.”

Like the Athletic Club and Sconset Casino before it, dwindling enthusiasm for bowling forced the Mid-Island Bowl to close in April of 1983.

“The bowling alley is closing because of an apparent decreasing interest in roll-offs and gutterballs. Robert Young, owner of Mid-Island Bowl, said there is no other choice but to close. "It hasn't been working," Young said last Friday. "Basically my dad (Roger Young, who opened the alleys) maintained it for years out of the feeling that it was good for the community," according to an Inquirer & Mirror article.

Creative Housing from page 7

Why 34 years of age or younger? According to the Pew Research center, Millennials have surpassed baby boomers as America’s largest generation . Millennials, those defined in 2015 as being between the ages of 18-34, are not only the largest percentage of the population, but a percentage that continues to grow as young immigrants to move into the United States. The middle and working classes are the crux of any community. Young Creatives are bringing to light the fact that this demographic is the most at risk, and helping them stay on the island is a direct benefit to the town and local economy. “We’re going to lose our community if we don’t have affordable housing,” says Justin Taylor, a member of Young Creatives.

To do this, TNCP will utilize donations to purchase and eventually maintain multiple large single-family dwellings and multiple building properties. These houses will provide low-priced group, or communal, style housing for year-round residents of Nantucket. Simply put, members of TNCP donate the equity to the nonprofit they would otherwise accrue through paying rent. Over time this will pay off the mortgage of the property. This sort of structure ensures that TNCP is able to maintain affordable rentals for years to come. In an ideal situation, rent would be around $1,500 a month for each resident: a cost comparable to most other cities and towns around the commonwealth.

Ultimately, this kind of communal living will fill

Art, sculpture, jewelry, handbags, accessories, beachwear, and more!

a void on the island, providing stable housing and eventually ownership to the at-risk millennial demographic. Since 2-3 bedroom homes are currently in high demand, TNCP has plans to purchase larger properties that can house 10 renters or more.

Decision making concerning each of the houses, residents, and the non-profit as a whole will be democratic. Each member of TNCP will have equal voting rights. One member, one vote.

This model has not only been proven effective in other parts of the country, but also in the state of Massachusetts. Our capital city of Boston has been facing a similar housing dilemma for decades. As a result, the Boston Community Cooperatives, or BCC, became a reality. They are also a non-profit formed to help build communities through cooperative living. They depend on member education, neighborhood improvement, and collective action to ensure democratically controlled and affordable residential cooperatives. TNCP is working closely with the BCC and using the success of cooperative housing in Boston as a model for Nantucket.

Though TNCP has not acquired any property just yet, they do have their eyes on one. With any luck, they will be on the path to purchasing it as soon as the funds have been raised. The group needs 10% of the total cost, which will be about $160,000. For now, raising money is being put on the back burner. “We have decided to focus more on securing lenders for now and less on donations,” says Justin. As far as future donations are concerned, the NCP is currently planning a fundraising event in late August. Stay tuned to the Young Creatives and Yesterday’s Island for details on the event.

Disc Golf from page 12

the least amount of strokes, or throws, as possible. Rather than clubs, you use discs that can have different purposes. I purchased a disc golf kit containing three discs from Island Variety. Discs are also available at Sunken Ship, but there is no location here that rents discs for the day. In the kit I purchased were a driver, mid-range, and putter discs. I didn’t think it was entirely necessary to buy a kit, but my husband insisted. It seemed to make a difference for him, but not so much for me due to my unfortunate skill level. Let’s just say that if the object were to hit as many trees as possible, I would have won for sure. Patience and fun are the keys to this particular excursion. There is, of course, the possibility to get competitive with this activity. Overall, disc golf is a healthy, fun, family-friendly recreational sport.

The Nantucket Disc Golf Course is completely free and open every day, all day, all year long since 2013. You can bring your kids and your dogs, just be sure to clean up after both. The disc golf grounds are clear, clean, and very well maintained, though there are no trash cans. Each hole is basically spotless, which makes it easy to spot your disc once it lands, unless it lands in the bushes. If you have to go hunting for your disc, watch out for poison ivy and check for ticks along the way and after you get home as well.

There are many aspects that make this accessible for all levels. The course offers two types of tee boxes. The green arrows lead you towards the closer beginners tee and the gray arrows direct you to the advanced tee, farther away from the hole or basket. All of the holes are marked and have a map of each hole at each tee and wooden arrows attached to trees near the basket directing you to the next hole. Each trail is well maintained and it was so peaceful walking from one hole to the next. You do not have to play all 18-holes and can do what works for you, as long as you are not interfering with other players.

Please keep a few things in mind when you go enjoy a nice game of disc golf. Make sure you use the bathroom before you leave because this course does not have bathrooms. This beautiful course has sun and shade and allows for a leisurely enjoyable experience. As instructed, “Grip it, rip it, and have a good time!”

Stir in corn kernels, potatoes, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a light boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

Remove bay leaf then transfer 2-1/2 cups of the chowder to a blender and blend until smooth. Stir the mixture back into the pot and stir in half and half. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Sprinkle each serving with chives, serve hot.

TIP: sear some bay scallops and “float” them in the center of the soup as an extra special Nantucket garnish!

House Financial Services Committee and was a leading co-sponsor of the 2010 Dodd–Frank Act, a sweeping reform of the U.S. financial industry.

Frank is considered to be the most prominent gay politician in the United States.

Larry Kudlow is CNBC’s senior contributor and former host of The Kudlow Report. As a conservative commentator, articles he writes appear in numerous newspapers, on websites, and blogs around the country.

Writer and editor Gail Russell Chaddock will moderate the discussion between Frank and Kudlow; a discussion sure to be spirited. Organizers promise a “passionate but respectful, informed exploration of important questions shaping the debate over fedLarry Kudlow eral tax policy in this presidential election year.” A question and answer period will be part of the evening.

Common Ground Committee is a citizen-led initiative and nonprofit organization free of agenda or influence. They pursue initiatives which will reveal common ground for finding truth, clarity, understanding, and progress on issues of importance in a civil manner that does not require compromise of fundamental principles. The organization’s focus is fostering healthy, productive public discourse, and its mission is finding common ground.

Tickets to attend this Common Ground forum are $35 and can be purchased at Mitchell’s Book Corner at 54 Main Street, at Nantucket Bookworks at 25 Broad Street, and online at commongroundcommittee.org.

Hostetler from page 8

opening reception for the first in a series of retrospectives to honor her late husband. This first show, “Hostetler Retrospective Early Stage,” revolves around his sculptures from 1948 up to late 1970s.

Born in Ohio in 1926, Hostetler had a close relationship with his Amish grandfather, an influence which has stayed with him throughout his career.

He was raised in a small Ohio town and went on to receive his Bachelor of Arts in Education from Indiana University. He obtained a Master's of Fine Arts from Ohio University. He taught for thirty-eight years as a much appreciated professor and mentor, where he was named Professor Emeritus.

Hostetler’s works appear in more than 25 museums and galleries, including the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ and the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. His pieces grace numerous public collections from Nantucket to New Mexico to the Netherlands.

His American Woman Series gained him national prominence for his graceful, flowing wood sculptures with their simplified forms and hairstyles from the current time period, like in Yellow Dress (1965). This series is from the early 60s, and he initiated the series using indigenous hardwoods (elm, white oak, walnut, maple), then progressed from folk images to stylized symbols in exotic woods (purpleheart, ziricote, and pink ivory). These pieces from this specific time in David’s ouvre are very distinct in comparison to his more recent pieces, which exude modernity in all their sleek, slender forms, like Sensuous Woman.

Three very early sculptures from the 1940s are back for re-sale, including the first bronze casting Hostetler did while he was teaching in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Also included in the exhibition is The Bather brought from our personal collections one of the first painted wood carvings by David. Clearly, this will be a night to remember as the viewer will be able to travel through time observing the most developmental decades of David Hostetler’s career and appreciate his achievements he has made to the art world.

Next Time from page 9

clear our wallets, then we look in the mirror and wonder who that person is?

My mirror has been showing me a strange man these days. The Registry of Motor Vehicle wouldn’t give me a driver’s license because their eye test machine was broken. When I had my eyes tested from a professional, he told me that my eyes were fine, perfect for a man of my age. As long as I wore these glasses, I could pass whatever silly test those bureaucrats had for me. So I got glasses.

The days humiliate you. They bloat you, grey you, wrinkle you, and then bill you for the trouble. You walk around pillar to post, using the same old brain as ever until you look from the sink and see what days were doing while you were filling your Pokedex. I prefer to think of myself as the person reflected in another's eyes, not reflected in the glass. I can believe that I am worth a cheeseburger and a cocktail.

I keep receipts, of course. They keep me away from the mirror and the mundane: they are why I regret that P stiffed me. I suppose the gravity of the past does not attract with the magnetism of family. Or, even worse, does not pull at all. I would like to think that P still holds a few receipts and that I would still be on her “invite” list, but perhaps I am only worth the lie of “Next time.”

These are the days when I want the compound in Pocomo so that I would never have to hear “Next time” again. Then in the heat of August, when the rest of the world becomes sweat-stained and chafed, I would spread out the receipts and invite them. On a long Big Chill week, we could recognize each other again, remember who we are, and write it down for this time, not next.

The years pull our teeth. We smile with close lips, hide, and keep collecting our Pokemon. But the years keep finding us, keep yanking, and keep tugging the “Next times” away. The receipts remain, with memories of long ago meals, companions, and the person that I still am.

Featured Restaurant: Rose & Crown

A Lively Evening of Food & Fun We arrived at The Rose & Crown last week we had our choice of seats. It was early—just before 6 pm— and the after-work crowd had thinned and the dinner crowd not yet arrived. Sean Lee was playing his heart out in the bar and, with the big doors wide open to the sidewalk and inviting, a crowd was gathering to listen and check out the menu. By 7 pm, the place was packed with couples, families, and groups of 20somethings out for a good time.

The bar at the Rose & Crown is an island favorite.

Veggie & Edamame Hummus Plate With several bartenders who are quick, know their craft, and are just sassy enough to be fun, there’s never a long wait to quench your thirst, even with all the seats are filled. All 12 of the beers they offer on draft are craft beers with a summer lineup that ranges from Blue Moon Belgian White Ale to Shipyard Summer Ale. And they often have something new to sample: ask about the Staff Pick of the Week.

Bartenders here can do more than just pull a tap! Their cocktails are creative, flavorful, and refreshing. Try The Nantucket Sipper or the honey infused Island Buzz. After a day in the sun a refreshing Cucumber Girls or Slightly Breezy hits the mark. Even their “mocktails” deserve high praise, from their summery Watermelon Ice Tea to The Virgin Spa Day with cucumber, mint, watermelon, and lavender.

Food at “The Crown” has been a draw for years, with standouts ranging from burgers to steamers, sandwiches to shrimp scampi. Even with a sudden change of chef in June, this landmark Nantucket pub did not miss a step (a testament to the expert management here!). David Capitos, who’d been in the kitchen for years, moved into the position, revised the menu, and is send-

Grilled Lamb Sliders

ing out some of the best pub food on the island.

The summer menu includes more than half a dozen gluten-free choices, though if you do eat bread you’ll be impressed by the bakery-fresh artisan rolls and the brioche buns used for their sandwiches and burgers. Several menu selections are designed to please those who follow vegetarian and vegan diets. The Rose & Crown is one of a handful of eateries on Nantucket that encourage you to bring your kids by offering a Children’s Menu with selections under $8. And they’ll bring free crayons and paper to the little ones without having to be asked.

Bollies

There’s a new “Bites” section ideal for patrons who just want a snack while they sip. We tried every one of these—Grilled Shrimp Toast, Deviled Egg Toast, Smoked Salmon Toast, and Bollies. Each one is just a tasty bite or two, with flavors that appeal to a range of preferences. Standouts for us were the Deviled Egg Toast, a deconstructed deviled egg that’s creamy with chopped egg, scallions, and bacon on a mini toasted Portuguese bun, and the Bollies, an assortment of tiny cocktail rolls, pumpernickle, herb, wheat, and pretzel, hollowed out and filled with goat cheese and pancetta.

Many of the appetizers at The Rose & Crown fit into the finger foods for sharing category. Patrons will be happy to see that the Nachos, Bluefish Pate, and Steamers they love are still served. We adore the new Grilled Lamb Sliders, served three to a plate. The patties are juicy and flavorful as only lamb can be, topped with bacon and melted provolone, with greens and a dollop of chilled tzatziki.

The buns are the mini toasted Portuguese bread buns used with the deviled egg toast.

Also very good and very Grilled Vegetable Sandwich

Vol. 46 No. 12 • Our 46th Season!

Smoked Blue Cheese Cheese Steak

summery is the Veggie & Edamame Hummus Plate, one of the new vegan choices (gluten-free, too, if you skip the crackers). The red pepper, zucchini, summer squash, and eggplant all have a deliciously smokiness from the grill.

Spears of asparagus, blanched and chilled, are tender-crisp, and the sauteed mushrooms are tender and tasty. It’s the garlicky housemade edamame hummus that was our favorite on this plate. It’s good with the vegetables or just spread on a whole grain cracker.

For the Grilled Vegetable Sandwich, Capitos takes the same beautifully grilled vegetables he serves on the hummus plate and stacks them on a fresh parmesan ciabatta roll with a smear of his hummus and some herb mayonnaise. Very tasty and—if you manage to avoid devouring all the hot, crisp, salty fries served alongside—very healthy.

We were happy to see that they kept their sensational Fried Oyster Po’Boy on the menu for this summer, but since we were there to try what’s new, we ordered the Smoked Blue Cheese Cheese Steak and the Braised Short Rib French Dip. Both are hearty and delicious. The Cheese Steak served on a craft beer roll is not even close to the Philly sensation we grew up on, but we like that The Crown kitchen slices the grilled tri-tip a little thicker than chipsteak, and the smoked blue cheese is a nice twist on the classic “wiz.” The French Dip was our favorite of the two. The short rib is deeply flavorful and very tender. The swiss cheese and schmear of garlic mayonnaise add a tasty bite, and the toasted parmesan ciabatta roll doesn’t fall apart but is not so crunchy that it hurts your mouth. Best of all, the “dip” is deliciously beefy, not the watery broth that usually comes with this style of sandwich.

Hangover Burger is our favorite among the trio of specialty burgers served at The Crown. Stacked almost too high (we took off The Crown’s

sweet, crunchy onion rings and ate them separately), this juicy monster with bacon, onion, and three cheeses on a buttery brioche bun is sure to soak up any alcohol left from last night’s party.

In addition to the pub food, at 5 pm every evening The Rose & Crown offers nine different dinner entrees featuring steak, chicken, and seafood, often rounded out by one or two evening specials.

The Roasted Vegetable Risotto is a winner for vegetarians and for meat-eaters. The risotto is creamy with hints of garlic and earthy mushrooms—but it’s delightfully fresh rather than heavy! The asparagus, zucchini, and squash diced and stirred into the risotto hold their flavors and add a nice firm texture to the mix. Juicy, ripe tomato along with chopped scallions add color and freshness to this summer treat.

The Lobster Mac & Cheese (a Crown staple) is a little rich for summer fare, but when it’s this good we don’t mind at all! We’re not sure how the new chef tweaked the recipe, but this dish is better than ever this season. We love the sweet pops of fresh corn kernels alongside spicy circles of linguica and tender chunks of lobster all folded into the luscious cheese sauce.

Airline Chicken Breast

Our only complaint about the chicken entree is its name: Airline Chicken Breast. Nobody loves airline food, and this entree is superb! The statler breast is moist with deliciously crisp, well-seasoned skin. It’s served nestled into a scoop of skin-on mashed potatoes and topped with a creamy parmesan sauce with wild mushrooms, artichokes, and onions. When you cut into the breast a sensational stuffing of herbed goat cheese and pancetta spills out.

Our favorite entree of all is the Grilled Swordfish. It’s marked on the menu as a “Rose & Crown Favorite,” and after tasting it, we know why! The fish is moist, meaty, ocean-fresh, and cooked with a delicious smoky char.

It’s served in a mix of sunny Mediterranean flavors: sun-dried tomatoes, onions, capers, and a very light garlicky lemon sauce. Tucked underneath the fish is a cool salad of edamame, grilled corn, and red onion that adds bright, fresh flavor to the dish. It’s a winner!
