Envisioning How to Live with Sea Level Rise

September 2-29, 2021

Page 3

by Suzanne Daub Envision Nantucket in 10 years. If you’re optimistic, you’ll be imaging our island with sea levels a foot higher than they are now.

Now envision our island community 30 years from now, with sea levels more than 3 feet higher. What can we do? How do we live with rising seas?

Envision Resilience: Designs for Living with Rising Seas is an exhibit that does just that: it presents visions of possible futures on Nantucket. Presented by ReMain Nantucket upstairs in the Thomas Macy Warehouse at 12 Straight Wharf, this exhibit is the culmination of months of study, discussion, collaboration, and design called The Envision Resilience Nantucket Challenge.

Five teams of graduate students from University of Florida College of Design, Construction and Planning, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, University of Miami School of Architecture, The School of Architecture at Northeastern University and Yale School of Architecture were tasked with creating visually impactful designs showing adaptations and innovations that will enable coastal communities to imagine what our future with sea level rise and climate impacts may look like. The Challenge focused on three areas of Nantucket around the harbor: Brant Point, Downtown, and Washington Street and The Creeks.

The teams of students worked for months with local and regional advisors who have expertise in conservation, public works, real estate, architecture, historic preservation, natural resources, art, marine biology, fisheries, civil engineering, science, and transportation. Virtual lectures were held each week during the spring 2021 semester—each of these lecture is posted for free public viewing at envisionresilience.org/speaker-series. Because of Covid restrictions, none of the students was able to make site visits to Nantucket during the semester. Instead, insights and narratives of Nantucket residents helped give context and inspiration. Teams were not required to follow island zoning or HDC regulations: the designs produced are meant to show “principles and pathways” rather than to propose solutions. They are meant to continue the conversation, not end it—to “illustrate that a future with more water doesn’t have to be anything less than continued on page 11

It Was Meant To Be

by Suzanne Daub

If you know the meaning of ACK, either you love Nantucket or you’re a pilot.

It was her love of Nantucket that inspired artist and photographer Susan Fairgrieve to start ACK 4170TM four years ago in 2017.

Susan and her husband first visited Nantucket in 2000: “My husband and I would always go to The Vineyard. When a friend suggested we visit Nantucket, we thought we’d give it a try. We did, and we never went back to The Vineyard!”

For the next 16 years, Susan and Scott visited Nantucket early summer and autumn—during the “shoulder seasons.”

“We stayed in different parts of the island, exploring and spending a lot of time on the water. Scott loved to surfcast. We loved the beauty, the beaches, the coast...And we used to sit on a bench on Main Street, watching the people go by and dreaming of when we would live here.

“One day during a Nantucket trip in September of 2012, Scott bought a laminated chart of Nantucket and spent the evening studying it. The next morning, he said ‘I have a surprise for you. Bring your camera: we’re renting a boat,’ but he wouldn’t tell me what he had in mind. Out by Great Point, he cut the engine, took out his rod and cast. Suddenly seals started popping up all around us. That was my surprise! I took out my camera and started shooting.”

That island trip was Scott's last, he passed that December. continued on page 21

“Guiding Light” for NCH

by Suzanne Daub

One of the first questions newcomers to Nantucket ask (after do people live here in the winter? and are there schools on Nantucket?) is often “does Nantucket have a hospital?”

The answer, of course, is a resounding YES. And thanks to years of dedication, determination, and dollars raised by generous donors and local residents, in February of 2019 Nantucket Cottage Hospital’s new facilities opened to patients.

Thanks to an unprecedented $120 million capital campaign, the largest in Nantucket history, the new hospital was built entirely through private donations: debt-free, using no taxpayer dollars.

One of the very enthusiastic, energetic, and devoted volunteers who helped make the vision of a new hospital a reality is global philanthropist Melanie Sabelhaus. Her relationship with NCH goes back more than a decade. In 2012 and 2013, Melanie was the chair of Boston Pops on Nantucket, and she has been a member of the Board of Trustees and Chair or co-Chair of the Marketing and Development committee since 2018. She was also a founding co-chair of the popular annual Women+Wellness event. For the past two years, with COVID-19 resulting in the cancellation of Pops (the hospital’s largest annual fundraiser), Sabelhaus has worked tirelessly to raise significant funds to close the gap. Hospital staff considers her “a guiding light” in planning for the 2020 virtual Pops celebration and this year’s televised Pops show.

Melanie discovered Nantucket Island 37 years ago. “I lived in Darien, Connecticut, and worked in Manhattan. My friends asked me ‘where do you summer,’ and I said ‘I don’t summer,’ but I asked them ‘where do YOU summer?’ They all told me Nantucket. I told my husband Bob ‘let’s visit,’” Sabelhaus explained. “We came for a weekend with the kids and fell in love with Nantucket!”

The Sabelhaus family first stayed in guest houses, then began renting homes for the summer. “We purchased our first home here in 1997…I consider it [Nantucket] my home. I enjoy Naples, but my home is Nantucket… When you land on Nantucket you are overwhelmed by the sense of community. I’ve discovered friends from around the world who vacation here.”

Sabelhaus’ first foray into volunteering on Nantucket was with the Nantucket Historical Association’s Antiques Show. “Volunteering has always been a big part of my life: I learned it as a young girl from my parents. Dad was a steelworker and Mom was a homemaker… My Dad used to call it the three T’s: your time, your talent, and your treasure… My parents were very involved: they didn’t have a lot of treasure, but they gave their time and their talent,” said Melanie. “My Dad told me he wanted to lead a life of significance in service.”

Sabelhaus names Ellen Johnson Sirleaf as another inspiration—“I met her once, and it changed my life! I live by her quote: ‘If your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough.’”

After the NHA Antiques Show, Sabelhaus became an NHA Trustee, and in 2011, she was recruited by Maureen Hackett to become engaged in the hospital.

“Maureen asked me to be chair of the Pops for my first assignment, and you don’t say ‘no’ to Maureen!”

She accepted the assignment and got to work. “I had chaired many big events and galas…. I’m all about making it all-inclusive and forming big committees, so when she told me there were only three people on the committee, I immediately brought on 28 women—we all know the power of women!

“Our first meeting was so powerful with great ideas, and we had a great comcontinued on page 23

Gift of September

Sail Endeavor

by Robert P. Barsanti Labor Day has crept upon us, tardy and idle. It slips up after the great tide of summer tourism has turned. Nobadeer has opened up, the waves are available at Cisco, and the surf fisherman can reclaim Madaket. Across the island, the traffic has eased. The weekdays remain crowded with pickups and vans, but you can make left hand turns on the weekends.

The retired will happily accept the gift of September. Without the requirements of meetings, punch clocks, and classrooms, they enjoy warm water, crowds of bluefish, and empty golf courses. At night, the restaurants have tables. In the morning, the lines for the donuts are short. Of course, it takes some good fortune and a better investment banker to take your September on Nantucket, but if you can, there may be no better place to do it.

Labor Day has also, traditionally, been the high point of the “Staff Dinner” season. In the familiar past, employers would reward those staff members who made it through the vagaries and vandals of August into the smooth waters of September. They would take them out for whale watches or buy them expensive dinners or throw a beach party. In my early years working in the bars and dance houses of the island, the staff dinner was a way to insure that those faithful, trustworthy, and sober workers would think about you next May and come out for another season of dishwashing and house painting.

The primary audience for these dinners wasn’t the college junior who made his way out here with ten frat brothers, but the surfers. The surfers may live onisland, may share an apartment with three others, and may be available next May when the season opens. Better to have a good report with the lineup off of Nobadeer than a pleasant mention in some college newspaper.

The staff dinner faded away, but it is making its way back into favor. Store owners and contractors have re-learned lessons that had slipped: quality workers are very rare and the customers can be virulent and painful. Add Covid to the mix and we have a summer like this one, where the island has plenty of visitors but not enough workers. We have the Day, but we don’t have the Labor.

Our plan of “Let’s Grow Faster, and it will all work out” seems to have hit a snag. On one hand, the island did more than a billion dollars in real estate deals

by August. On the other hand, we don’t have enough nurses, teachers, cops, firemen, lifeguards, or D.P.W. workers. We have become the libertarian paradise, where the pot holes grow, drunks can speed, and the hospital is a blood pressure cuff and a helicopter pad.

Moreover, since Covid, people have a different idea about the way that they spend their waking hours. I came to teaching in the hazy glare of “Find something you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your lives.” It meant that I was finding something to love at ten o’clock at night over the essays, on Saturdays in front of the photocopier, and over the summer in one desk or another. I didn’t have time to work because I was so busy with my “love.” Perhaps spending all that time arm-deep in photocopiers wasn’t the healthiest thing for me.

Work, especially out here on God’s favorite sandbar, has spread to fill as many continued on page 28

by C. Oscar Olson We love this time of year. As September rolls in, the crowds thin, the ocean is still warm, and the sun shines down on the long and lingering last days of summer. What’s more, it means we can score a table at a much-loved island eatery: Black Eyed Susan’s.

For more than 25 years, co-owners Susan Handy and Executive Chef Jeff Worster have been serving their patrons comforting breakfasts and high-end dinners in their cozy eatery in the heart of town. One of the only breakfast boutiques left downtown, the restaurant rebrands and transforms in the evening to bring patrons a fine dining experience to remember.

With seats at the bar back on the menu this year, you can watch the magic happen with wide open views of the kitchen. For just $5 per person you can bring the beverage of your choice to toast.

The menu is eclectic but not overwhelming, with a concise selection of four starters and four mains plus

three signature dishes available in half- and full portions. Utilizing fresh, local ingredients whenever possible, every dish is beautifully plated, entrees paired perfectly with the accompaniments on every plate.

With the heat in recent weeks, we were pleased to see some cool appetizer options to compliment the hot island evenings.

We started with a cool and creamy Chilled Cucumber and Yoghurt Soup. Bursting with the fresh herbal aromas of parsley and dill, we were basking in its freshness before it even hit the table. Two rounds of warm falafel swim in the middle, adding a crispy contrast of color, texture, and taste.

On the spicier side of starters were the Kimchi Buffalo Wings. Glistening red with a drizzle of misoblue cheese over top, the skin is still crisp and wellsauced with a kimchi-spiked buffalo. We loved the continued on page 26

beautiful,” as Cecil Barron Jensen, executive director of ReMain Nantucket stated. She described one of the goals of The Challenge and the resulting exhibit as a way to “engage the Nantucket community to think expansively and creatively about coastal resiliency...we knew people would be afraid and intimidated, so we wanted to give people something resilient to envision when they think of Nantucket with sea level rise.”

Each of the five teams focused on the same three area of Nantucket, yet their designs and proposals are very different and include visions for housing, aquaculture, transforming streets and sidewalks, moats and seawalls, parks, lowland retreats, living shorelines, floating docks, an electric tram system, and more. The students did an impressive job creating proposals that retain sense of place, keeping the essence of Nantucket as they encourage residents to learn to live with water.

“The variety of projects impressed me. We live it: we know what it’s like on Washington Street or Easy Street when it floods. A part of me wanted them to just give us the solutions, but they gave us much more,” Jensen commented.

“We were blown away by the work done: we are inspired!” added Claire Martin, project manager at ReMain Nantucket who guided the Envision project. “The students had a visionary outlook of what our future could be. They really thought outside the box about how we can learn to live with water and possibly benefit from it.”

Visitors to Envision Resilience: Designs for Living with Rising Seas may want to see the exhibit more than once to absorb all the information presented. The exhibit is free and open daily from 10 am to 5pm through mid December. Additional events are being planned in conjunction with other

island organizations concerned with climate change and sea level rise. On September 9 and 10, Nantucket Preservation Trust is hosting a two-day virtual event Rescuing History: Nantucket in Response to Rising Seas. Later in September, the Nantucket Conservation Foundation is offering Climate Change Awareness Walks, and ReMain has announced a morning roundtable discussion on September 27.

“When we first envisioned this project, we saw it as an interactive challenge with our community. To measure change, we conducted a baseline study in January 2021. We will run a second survey in January 2022 to measure the change in attitudes among the Nantucket community, under the notion that it will have been the work of many organizations and initiatives impacting attitudes,” Martin explained. “By presenting forward thinking images of a Nantucket future with more water, we wanted to impact people’s way of thinking. What will you do to make a difference? How will you reduce your impact on this beautiful, pristine environment? Can you imagine ways to be more innovative with your landscape and house designs? Anecdotally, we achieve this goal each time a community member comes through our exhibition...Since our July 2 opening, we've had more than 1,000 guests through the exhibition.”

This impressive exhibit at 12 Straight Wharf that resulted from a challenge now gives rise to the next challenge—as Jensen asked during the public presentation in June: “What are YOU going to do to be more adaptive in the face of sea level rise?”

“In spite of the urgency, it [adaptation] cannot happen all at once: it’s not one big fix and then we all go home happy. It’s a new way of living and thinking that will be with our children for a long time to come.” — Alan Plattus, Director, Yale Urban Design Workshop and Professor of Architecture and Urbanism speaking at the presentation of Envision Resilience: Designs for Living with Rising Seas .

September Is Climate Awareness Month

by Dr. Sarah Treanor Bois, PhD

Director of Research & Education at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation

Blue Beetle 12 Main Street

clothing, jewelry & accessories open daily 508 228 3227 BlueBeetleNantucket.com

This September, Nantucket is once again celebrating Climate Change Awareness month. However, few people on Nantucket need to be made aware of climate change: erosion on the south and east coasts, storm surge, and coastal flooding are regular enough events on-island that the conversation has moved from awareness to how much and when.

What people might not be aware of is the extent of climate change in the near term. By 2030 (just 9 years away) Nantucket is predicted to have between 1 and 1.6 feet of sea level rise (intermediate to high scenarios). By 2050 we expect to see 1.7 to 3.5 feet. Are you prepared for that much water? Keep in mind, sea level rise is the height of water at calm seas. Sometimes called a “bathtub model”: these predicted water levels represent water at mean high tide. It doesn’t take into account additional storm surge, wave action, or other weather conditions.

For the second year in a row, Nantucket Island officially recognizes September as Climate Change Awareness Month. “We, the Select Board of the Town of Nantucket in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, do hereby officially proclaim the month of September, 2021, is ‘Climate Change Awareness Month’ and do hereby encourage all residents to learn more about the threats of climate change and sea level rise and the planning efforts underway to increase community resilience.”

Climate Change Awareness month is a great way to learn more about future predictions and what various groups around the island are doing to either mitigate for these changes or how they’re learning to live with water.

With so much going on around coastal resiliency, sea level rise, and climate change, it may be difficult to sort through all the different events, news, challenges, and exhibitions. For a one-stop-shop on all climate change related events around the island, check out acklimate.org. Their programming calendar comcontinued on page 47

“I was working in our garage on a hot summer day and thinking about Nantucket. When I went inside to cool off, I had a sudden inspiration—from Scott, I think —I sat down at my computer and created the logo. ACK = Nantucket... 41 70 for the island’s latitude and longitude (abbreviated) ... I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with what I had created, but I knew it was meant to be…a sign from above guiding me to our happy place.

I trademarked it.”

Susan had hundreds of photos from trips to Nantucket she had taken with Scott over the years, and as a photographer and graphics professional, she knew she had the raw materials for an island business.

Instagram came first: in 2016, Susan started posting her island photos, branded with the logo she designed at @ack4170 They met with an immediate response! For years, Susan had been making and selling card sets and her photographs wholesale to shops around the country as Coastal Collection. With her Nantucket endeavor, she “flipped the switch” from selling her work to shops to buying work from other small makers to sell in hers. Initially it was online only.

By spring of 2017, she had built a website selling her photographs and card sets, along with branded pillows, towels, glassware, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and cutting boards—all crafted by small makers. That same year she returned to Nantucket for Daffodil Festival, and, to launch the site, Susan handed out hundreds of handmade Daffy corsages with her ACK 4170TM logo on button. As with her Instagram, ack4170.com was instantly popular. “I realized that I really could open a store here,” she explained.

A physical shop on Nantucket was a goal from the start of the ACK 4170TM venture. She had explored possibilities in January of 2017 (a few months before launching her website), but the shop space she negotiated fell through. At the end of 2017, the owner of the space she had wanted to rent reached out to ask Susan if she was still interested. “I said YES, packed up and left for Nantucket. It was meant to be!”

From the day she opened her doors to this summer of 2021, Susan has expanded her ACK 4170TM offerings, still featuring small makers. “It’s so rewarding working with ‘the little guy,’ as I once was when I sold my work to shops. And it means what you see in my store, you won’t see elsewhere on Nantucket, she explained.”

Susan still creates items she sells. Her photographs can be purchased framed or as sets of cards, and her decoupage shells are very popular (you may see her on Nantucket beaches early in the morning and at sunset gathering the shells she transforms ). “I’m always looking for and finding new makers whose products I can carry. I love working with them: many have become friends.”

Popular this season in ACK 4170TM are her shells, baseball caps, candles, and her ACK 4170TM totes and her “shuck it” bags. Every week Susan Fairgrieve brings in new products to feature, so many of her patrons visit her shop on Federal Street several times a month.

bination of people. The way the volunteers set it [Pops] up and then break it all down is magical…Chairing this event was one of the joys of my life UNTIL the night before…” Melanie paused for a moment, remembering… “it was pelting rain and the stage was struck by lightning. Pops was cancelled.”

With predictions for continuing severe thunderstorms, this was the first year the Boston Pops on Nantucket was cancelled. Because part of the event had already been set up, the Pops committee went ahead with the few aspects of the fundraiser they were able to preserve. “It was disappointing due to all the work that went into it,” said Sabelhaus. “We had debriefs after: that helps the event improve every year...we talked about what went well, what was needed, what does the community want.”

Because of the cancellation, Sabelhaus agreed to chair Pops again for 2013.

“The next year we had 7,500 people dancing on the beach together…Bottom line: the small core group of 3 that made this happen all these years was expanded… opening up networks… to include people with different spheres of influence: year-round people and seasonal residents…. It’s important to me to be engaged.

I’m a recruiter. People will support what they help create. This is a community hospital and we want community involvement. This is YOUR hospital.”

After two years of experience with this major fundraiser, Sabelhaus decided that Nantucket Cottage Hospital would be her main endeavor here. “THEN I met Bruce Percelay,” she said. “Bruce Percelay rocked my world! He’s another recruiter… from a $50 lemonade stand to a 10 million gift from the Percelays, we raised the money for the new hospital. What the Percelays were to me, I want to be for others: a role model.”

After chairing Pops, Sabelhaus worked to build a strong Marketing and Development Committee for Nantucket Cottage Hospital. She has stepped down from that role, but she continues to participate as an NCH Trustee.

It was just a year ago that Nantucket Cottage Hospital became even more vital to Melanie Sabelhaus, in a very personal way. “My husband Bob was diagnosed with cancer. His doctors at Johns Hopkins said they eradicated it, so we came home to Nantucket to relax and recover [from treatment]. But he became so ill here that his island doctor—Dr. Diane Pearl—said there was a serious situation, and we had to fly him off.

“We watched the 2020 Pops online together from his hospital bed… Dr. Pearl was a wonderful quarterback, talking to Johns Hopkins, coordinating everything.

And when Bob said ‘Melanie, I’m ready to go home,’ Nantucket Cottage Hospital made it happen… My lifeline was NCH. I was surrounded by all the support I needed here. That hospital was the center of our universe. My husband would say ‘I’m so grateful’: he would include the hospital in his prayers every night.”

Sabelhaus would like Nantucket Cottage Hospital to be in the top three of everyone’s donations and contributions. “I believe in the mission of NCH, I believe in the leadership – Gary Shaw, Dr. Diane Pearl… We need everybody on this island to engage: this is our community hospital. There are opportunities to volunteer and to be on committees.” She emphasized that every donation counts and would like to encourage residents who would have purchased tickets to the Pops concert this year to donate that money to the hospital at nantuckethospital.org/donate. “Please join us in donating what you can. We’re grateful—your donation matters.”

And next year, Melanie added, “will be our biggest Pops ever—we are celebrating the 25th next year. It will be the biggest and boldest …and we will do everything it takes to be safe and secure.”

Fun on the Water You’ve come to an island, of course you want to have fun on and in the water around Nantucket! Nantucket Harbor is calm, beautiful, pristine, and in-season it is filled with impressive yachts of all sizes.

There are a number of seasoned captains on Nantucket whose boats can be hired for charters: most sell invidual seats so that you can head out on the water with others, and all can be hired for private small groups. Whether you choose a one-hour tour or a longer fishing trip, all ages will have fun on the water.

Here are four Staff Picks for boating, fishing, seal cruises, whale watching, sailing, and more!

You can sail aboard Endeavor with Captain James Genthner. Nantucket’s longest operating sailing charter, Captain Jim has more than 35 years of experience sailing around Nantucket. Novice and experienced sailors can help the crew set sail or relax and enjoy the ride past Brant Point Lighthouse, through the jetties, and into Nantucket Sound.

Guests are welcome to bring refreshments. Captain Jim built Endeavor, and he’s happy to share his knowledge of traditional boat building. You can sail with them at 10 am, 1:30 pm, 3:30 pm, or on their coveted sunset sail by calling 508-228-5585 or visiting endeavorsailing.com With Blue Moon Charters (cover photo), you’ll be sailing aboard a classic 70foot luxury yacht with Captain Kent Murphy, First Mate Jacquie, and Second Mate Sandy the sailing dog. They offer multiple sails a day, from their 90-minute Morning Sail around the Harbor and the Sound (complete with coffee or a virgin mimosa) to a Late Afternoon Sail that will take you past Brant Point Lighthouse and continued on page 25

the breathtaking nature of the Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge area. You can bring your own beverage & toast the sunset on their Sunset Sail, a “once in a blue moon experience.” Book your sail at nantucketbluemooncharters.com or 508-241-SAIL. If you’re looking for something different, contact Shearwater Excursions. Wit two vessels— Shearwater and Minke—the Perkins family and crew offer ice cream cruises, seal cruises, whale watches, fishing trips geared for youngsters, cocktail cruises (for 21+), and more! Some trips are for private charters only: others welcome individuals. If you’re on-island for one of the dozens of September weddings, you might want to consider a Cocktail Cruise for your wedding group when they arrive and a Weekend Recovery Cruise for the morning after the party. Visit shearwaterexcursions.com or call 508-228-7037 to book a trip.

Family fishing trips make memories that will last forever! Captain Fred Tonkin of the Herbert T has more than 40 years of experience sport fishing around Nantucket, and he knows the best areas and methods to catch those Blues and Bass. All tackle, equipment, and bait are supplied— and lessons, too, if needed! He’s great with all ages, and will clean and package your catch for you to take home after your trip. Trips on the Herbert T are 2.5 hours long, and he offers per-person rates as well as private charters. Departure times are 7 am, 10 am, 1 pm, and 4 pm. To book your fishing trip, call him or his wife Bonnie at 508-228-6655 (daytime) or 508257-4176 (evenings) or visit fishnantucket.net.

Enjoy your time on the water around Nantucket, and remember: September 19 is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, so drop your “g’s,” substitute ye for you and me for my, and begin every comment with arrrr and a scowl.

tangy bites of pickled celery throughout. With a slowly growing spice that gets better with every bite, these might just be our new favorite finger food.

Another first with some fire was the Bartlett Farm Tomato and Sweet Corn Salad. We see a lot of Bartlett’s terrific tomatoes on menus this time of year, but Black Eyed Susan’s take was a welcome change of pace. Served in a bowl Isaan style, the dish is reminiscent of ceviche with a refreshing zip of citrus and spice.

The lime and chili bring out the best in every component.

A salad certainly doesn’t have to be simple, and the Organic Mixed Greens proved that to be true. Enjoy a bed of mixed local greens dressed in a peach lavender vinaigrette below fluffy, white ricotta salad. The flavors of every ingredient come through, no one element overpowering another.

Though the menu is ever-changing at Black Eyed Susan’s, there are a few old reliables that never go out of style. Crunchy, cooling, and doused in a delicious dose of dressing, the Whole Leaf Caesar never disappoints. Slice from the heart of romaine and savor the cooling crunch peppered with rich asiago in place of parmesan. Save the crouton spear served alongside to soak up the luxurious broth below the Linguini con Le Vongole. Toothsome linguini wraps around a generous portion of tender clams in this seaside staple. For more pasta perfection, try the Capellini. The freshness of the red sauce is undeniable: rich, sweet, and savory all at once.

The entree end of the menu boasts a balanced selection of surf and turf to please every patron. Just like the starter side, we enjoyed one of each option. A deliciously different take on pork, the Soy Braised Heritage Pork Chop was spectacularly spoon-tender. Served atop a classic fried nasi goreng rice, it’s bursting with incomparable savory succulence and complemented by the sweetness of marinated cherry tomatoes.

We loved the meaty flake of the Steelhead Trout, but the brilliant romanesco sauce below really stole the show. Much like a milder salmon, the fish was cooked to a perfect medium rare and served with chunky, garlicky crushed potatoes, vercontinued on page 27

dant parsley, and red sorrel. The crunch of nutty almonds in the sauce added interest to every forkful.

Pounded thin and pan fried to a crisp, the Free Range Chicken Milanese was a crowd favorite. Its crispy crunch is contrasted by a grilled sweet stone fruit panezella salad, roasted shallots, and creamy mozzarella. Calvestrano olives bring the brine to every bite.

There was another taste of the deep in the Swordfish. The swordfish steak was thin but still sublimely succulent, served over Latin-inspired frijoles blancos that were awesomely al dente, tomatillos, and sweet Fresno chilis. Tortilla strips added a tasty crunch. We only wish we had begged Chef Worster for the cucumber guacamole recipe.

The desserts were both a sublime, simple, and satisfying end to our meal. A decadent and dark Pot de Creme was a cup of happy. Silky and luxurious, it’s topped with a dense dollop of fresh whipped cream and served with two cookies: white chocolate chip and a coconut macroon. The Gelato changes regularly, but we were knocked out by the Salted Caramel. A balancing act of salty sweetness, it was creamy beyond compare. Served with a toasty cinnamon sugar-dusted tortilla, the char on which adds another dimension to this decadent grand finale.

Previously, I had only been to Black Eyed Susan’s for breakfast. Home to the best hash and eggs on-island, I had been looking forward to this dinner for the entirety of summer. Needless to say my expectations were so far exceeded.

Everything on the menu dazzled and surprised, and I cannot wait go back with friends. Head over to India Street and grab a table while you still can, because dinner at Black Eyed Susan’s is not one to miss.

waking hours as it can stain. The reality of an expensive island meant working three jobs to pay for one life. The economy of land and sand accelerates far beyond our ability to keep up. But as that life on-island has become more fantastic and unrealistic, the sprinting pace begins to lose its allure. And the foothold out here has become less secure no matter what we earn.

In that space, where the future gallops past at the investment speed of Goldman Sachs, perhaps the wisest family investment isn’t in power tools, but in surf boards. Our hands could hold toys instead of tools. Our days could have more hours that aren’t (or shouldn’t) be billable. If we drop one client and pick up one surfcasting rod, everyone in our lives will thank us for it.

Today, in the masked and distant era that we now live in, workers seem to be taking a more sensible approach to the workplace. Some sandwich shops are closed on Sunday, and other stores are closed by five in the evening. The “End of the Season Sale” is coming around Labor Day this year, not Halloween or Christmas. All this free time means the lineup has a few more surfers and the Broad Street restaurants have fewer servers.

After all, Labor Day celebrates the victory of the carpenter, the millworker, and the waitress. Working people, at the cost of blood and pain, won eight-hour workdays. In that victory, a balance was famously struck: “Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest, eight hours for what we will.” On-island, we have given up that victory in exchange for another yard, another building plot, another tip. And that won’t be enough.

Labor Day comes every year, with it comes the gift of September. The water remains warm, the tuna are feeding, and the bicycle paths have emptied. Nantucket enters that special time when the warmth of the summer remains in the water and the air, while the busy-ness of the summer has shifted to the highways and airports of the mainland. The retirees, who worked hard for most of their lives, are enjoying the back nine. Perhaps, for once, we should learn from our elders, close the shop, and wet a line.

I think we all could agree that today would be a good time for a nice dinner.

Climate Awareness Month from page 14

piles the climate-change related events from organizations throughout the island.

Some of the month’s highlights include free guided walks by both the Nantucket Conservation Foundation and the Linda Loring Nature Foundation. All with specific discussions and tours of climate change impacts on-island.

The Envision Resilience Nantucket Challenge, a project of ReMain Nantucket, is hosting the results of the challenge in an exhibit called Envision Resilience: Designs for Living with Rising Seas at the Thomas Macy Warehouse building at 12 Straight Wharf through December. The beautiful historic space features images and information from the various academic teams who worked to envision possible future solutions for living with water in Nantucket’s downtown areas. Project designs were broad in scope and included ideas like making Washington Street a walkway and bird sanctuary and re-creating saltmarsh habitat in that area. Others focused on multi-use housing and buildings that changed with generations and additional sea level rise. Some ideas included more nature-based approaches like increasing protective saltmarshes and adding aquaculture resources. Students reimagined the steamship dock while also thinking about public access, commercial endeavors, and housing. The exhibit is free to visit.

Envision Resilience is also hosting workshops and talks (even beyond September) further highlighting living with water in our community. September 27 at 10am, they are hosting a roundtable/coffee conversation titled Climate Change and Conservation: Resilience in Landscapes. NCF’s Dr. Jennifer Karberg, Dr. Sarah Bois (yours truly) of LLNF, and Emily Molden from Nantucket Land Council will discuss climate change impacts on Nantucket and how our conservation lands and open space help mitigate these effects. “The conversation will explore how these three local experts see the impacts of climate change on the island of Nantucket, from our coastlines and harbor to freshwater ponds and wetlands, to our grasslands and forests.” It’s a great opportunity to learn what various organizations are doing as well as an opportunity to ask questions and participate in the conversation.

September is also the month when Nantucket’s Coastal Resiliency Advisory Committee (CRAC) will be previewing the draft of the Coastal Resiliency Plan from town consultants Arcadis. The CRAC has two monthly meetings which are open to the public. Drafts of various aspects of the plan are also available for viewing. The CRAC meeting recordings have presentations by Arcadis on their predictions and proposed solutions for each area. They can be viewed on YouTube at youtube.com/playlist?list=PL49sKqpy7VAiUk-g5h2jIuAn_2jqocI2L. The committee and the consultants are still interested in hearing from the community.

Constituents are encouraged to send comments and concerns via the questionnaire/form at townofnantucket.typeform.com/CoastalResComms.

The CR plan goes into detail about the vulnerable areas throughout the island. It then details specific actions recommended. Solutions include raising roads to protect them from flooding, nature-based solutions like restoring saltmarsh and eel grass beds, and adaptations to public piers and docks.

The most dramatic solutions are needed in the most vulnerable areas. Shortterm solutions for the downtown involve raising Steamboat Wharf and Straight Wharf, as well as adapting buildings and infrastructure for coastal flooding. The most dramatic and arguably necessary solutions suggested are in the long-term solution for downtown. Various scenarios are proposed, but, basically, all involve a surge barrier protecting the downtown harbor. A flood gate could be closed during storms to further protect our downtown resources. With the downtown as our lifeline to the mainland, the strategies focus on protection. However, there is an alternative on the table which allows for flooding and saltmarsh migration.

The focus with this long-term strategy is more about relocation of buildings and resources. If you have thoughts about these plans and want to share with CRAC and the consultants, fill out the comment form mentioned above . The committee wants everyone to participate and would like to hear from all corners of our community. This is a plan for the entire island.

It’s a complex problem, and it will take many types of solutions and voices to be resilient. We are fortunate our small island is looking ahead, being innovative, and trying a multi-pronged approach.
