Music, Dancing, Fireworks, & Fun

by Abigail Terres Shortly after dawn this Friday, August 7, the transformation begins. In just 36 hours, the decks at Jetties Beach will become a sophisticated stage for a world-class orchestra and the broad, sandy beach seating for the thousands who come to watch and listen.

Saturday, August 8, The Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra returns to Nantucket for the 19th year to perform Boston Pops on Nantucket, an evening of music, dancing, and fireworks to benefit Nantucket Cottage Hospital.

Known as “America’s Orchestra,” The Boston Pops are the most recorded orchestra in the country. The combination of these superb musicians and the the spectacular venue create an unforgettable island experience.

In 1997, Kathryn Clauss, a passionate supporter of the Nantucket Cottage Hospital came up with the idea to bring the renowned Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra conducted by Keith Lockhart to Nantucket as a benefit concert for the hospital. At the time, the idea seemed so large and unreachable that no one believed she could pull it off. Low and behold, with time, effort, a lot of hard work and help from friends, she did it.

Today, the Boston Pops on Nantucket event is Nantucket Cottage Hospital’s biggest fundraiser. “Every year we say to ourselves: ‘Wow, this was the best one yet.’ And every year, it’s true,” says Jason Graziadei, Nantucket Cottage Hospital Public Information Officer.

This year, Michael S. Lorber will chair the event and newsman and summer resident David Gregory will once again host it. Lorber has long ties to the island and is a founding member of the Friends of Nantucket Cottage Hospital group. “As a summer resident of the island, I am honored to serve as this year’s chair for the biggest and best event of the summer,” Lorber said.

As host, Gregory will welcome more than five thousand people to Jetties Beach to hear the orchestra conducted by Keith Lockhart. “I'm thrilled to be continued on page 18

VICTORIA GREENHOOD ORIGINAL GEMSTONE JEWELRY

by Rebecca Nimerfroh Stepping into the theatre to see Into the Woods is like dusting off a mysterious, leather bound book from the attic which, upon opening, immediately transports you to a faraway land full of magic, witches, giants, and fairy tales.

Into the Woods, presented by The Theatre Workshop of Nantucket, borrows from a few of your favorite fairy tales (think Little Red Riding Hood and Jack and the Bean Stalk) and creates a multifaceted tale that will have you clapping in your seat, tapping your feet, and humming the chorus tune all the way home.

The story bePHOTO BY PIXEL PERFECT gins with the introduction of several main characters all tied by a common thread; they are all wishing for a dream to come true. Cinderella wishes to go to the festival that her evil step-family is attending, Jack wishes to keep his cow while his mother wishes that he sell it, and a baker and his wife wish for a child. continued on page 19

Frederick Douglass on Nantucket

by Amy Jenness author of On This Day in Nantucket History, available at Mitchell’s Book Corner

In the spring of 1841 Nantucket banker William C. Coffin traveled to New Bedford to attend an anti-slavery meeting. There he met a 23 year old runway slave named Frederick Douglass who briefly spoke to the meeting. Impressed by the young man’s composure, Coffin invited Douglass to attend a Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society convention at the Nantucket Atheneum that summer. Douglass accepted and on August 11, 1841, at the urging of convention organizers, he rose nervously and addressed the audience. “It was with the utmost difficulty that I could stand erect, or that I could command and articulate two words without hesitation and stammering,� he later wrote in his 1845 autobiography Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, Written By Himself.

It was the first time Douglass had given a formal speech and his remarks so ignited famed abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison’s passion that he rose and addressed the audience. “Have we been listening to a thing, a piece of property, or a man?� he yelled.

The gathering of 500 people shouted back “A man! A man!� “Shall such a man be held a slave in a Christian land?� Garrison then asked. “Shall such a man ever be sent back to bondage from the free soil of old Massachusetts?’ The crowd stood up and shouted “No! No! No!�

After that meeting Garrison invited Douglass to join the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society and travel the country on a lecture circuit. Douglass spent the rest of his life speaking and writing in favor of ending slavery and, in time, his fame and influence would surpass his mentor Garrison.

Named Frederick Augustus Washington Baily when he was born to a slave woman in 1818, Douglass never knew the identity of his white father and only saw his mother three or four times before she died when he was seven. He endured a brutal life as a slave until he was eight years old and then was sent to serve a family in Baltimore. In that house, where his existence was a bit easier, Douglass learned to read and write. He also learned of people – abolitionists – committed to ending the practice of enslaving human beings.

It was in Baltimore that Douglass began to learn of the world and worked to educate himself and his fellow slaves. He read as much as he could and later Douglass credited The Columbian Orator with clarifying and defining his views on human rights.

Douglass taught other slaves to read the New Testament at a weekly church service, a practice slave owners would ultimately banish.

As a teenager, Douglass was sent back to rural Maryland where he worked for a continued on page 20

In The Season of Small Dogs

by Robert P. Barsanti When the nail gun starts next door at seven in the morning, my boon companion starts barking. The workers bang six nails into the dawn, and he barks them out as best he can. Standing in my underwear at the kitchen sink, I scratch his head and calm him. Confused, he looks up at me. Can I not hear that noise? Don’t I know the danger? I know the danger, and I feed him a piece of salami, which settles him almost immediately. The rest of the house remains in their rooms. By the end of the week, or, at most, the beginning of next week, the nail guns will have moved on, but this investment property will be that much closer to vesting. Until then, the nail guns bark at him.

Summer challenges the puppy. He is aggressively friendly. Another dog, a kindly lady, or a bug will set him to running and barking the Song of His People. During the rest of the year, he bounds through friends and familiar faces. With so many dogs on island, most islanders have learned to look at the fast wagging tail and not the barking teeth. However, August is the season of small dogs and worried owners. The eighty-pound puppy comes bounding through the beach grass at her beloved little Princess and Somebody sees him hungry for a Chihuahua snack. Somebody drops her lightship basket and swoops the Princess up into her arms. My boon companion, seeing his new friend plucked into the air, runs up, puts his paws on Somebody, and sniffs the other dog. Then there is the screaming and the running and the accusations safely shouted through the closed window of a green Land Rover. My dangerous and sinister yellow labrador retriever sits in the grass and pants.

So, he wears his collar and a leash for the month. When we walk up Main Street, he sniffs and investigates up until I yank him back into line. The Hub

Mid-Life Crisis Mid-century sculptures meet 21st century paintings and sculptures in this new exhibit at Hostetler Gallery, 42 Centre Street.

Artist and sculptor David Hostetler celebrates his 89th birthday this December; he considers it his 90th year. Featured in this new exploration is a selection of wood and bronze sculptures created from 1948 to 1975 coupled with his recent sculptures and paintings.

This exhibit is a unique opportunity to see the transitions and consistencies of Hostetler’s style. The earlier sculptures are more folk-like in stance and form.

His inspiration was American wood sculptor Eli Nadelman.

There is use of color, which he maintains throughout his career: formal in earlier works, bold and abstract in his newest painted woods. In 2015, in a creative burst he carved 3 woods.

His paintings focus on one image—the IKON. A break from his muted palette, these canvases gleam like stained glass, some have a mosaic quality with bold brush strokes of color. The IKON theme stems from his latest public sculpture commissioned for The Sheffield at 322 West 57th St. between 8th and 9th avenue. A 13 foot tall bronze with his classic Hostetler head shape.

Fearlessly, Hostetler painted 4 canvases with no figure, all abstract color statements with color and texture being the focus.

Historically, many artists grow bolder in late age and produce their best works. The crisis is that David feels there’s not enough time to produce all the images he wants to carve and paint. What would you tell him to deal with this mid-life crisis? Join him in his gallery at 42 Centre Street for an artist reception this Friday, August 7 from 6-8 pm. Show ends Thursday, August 13.

Nantucket Embraces #yeswayrosé

by Jenny Benzie Advanced Sommelier + Certified Wine Educator, Proprietress of Épernay Wine & Spirits While relaxing aprés beach and winding down from the day (or getting ready for the annual clambake), nothing is quite as refreshing on Nantucket than a chilled glass of rosé wine. While some people are still skeptical that any wine in a shade of pink still tastes like the sweet ‘blush’ that used to dominate this wine category, this is far from the truth these days.

Rosé is like the chameleon of the wine world. You can drink it on its own or as an aperitif to open your senses and relax your mind before any mealtime. It is versatile enough to pair with a summer picnic on Nobadeer Beach or drink over the winter as you reminisce about your time here on the island.

The perfect partner for salmon, pork, or any grilled meat, it could even pass for a dessert pairing with a bowl of fresh fruit and tiramisu.

Nantucket embraces Rosé almost as much as they do in St. Barth’s in the Caribbean or St. Tropez in the South of France, where rosé is a part of daily life. You see rosé everywhere here on island in the restaurants and bottle shops. Fortunately, there is a large selection of choices that will be sure to please any finicky palate.

For those of you who are new to the #yeswayrose campaign, you might be wondering what to expect when you get your bottle home or it is poured in your glass at the bar. Typically speaking, the paler the pink hue, the lighter in weight the rosé wine will be. If the wine has an orange or salmon like color, it will have more earthy tones on the palate. Rosés that have a bit darker hue (more similar to a rose flower) are made from darker skin grape varieties, such as cabernet sauvignon, and will have more dark red fruit characteristics with perhaps a small touch of tannin.

Location, Location The Artists Association of Nantucket (AAN) will be hosting Location Location Exhibition, beginning with an opening reception on Friday, August 7, 6-8 P.M. The exhibition will be on display through Monday, August 17 in the Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery, 19 Washington Street.

“Location” is described by South Shore Andrew Collar Wikipedia as the specific position or point in physical space; a geographic position on the surface of the earth. “The AAN Location Location exhibition will do just that by presenting works with an eye to the artist’s favored locations on the island, indoors or out,” said curator of exhibitions Robert Frazier.

“Our organization features more than two hundred artist members, so the spectrum of work and the broad range of mediums will provide a wonderful snapshot into the artists preferred or beloved locations,” added Frazier.

“The Gallery hosts more than fourteen exhibitions between April and December, and Location Location is our eighth of the season, so the number and quality of work continues to get better and better—the talent among our members is truly extraordinary,” said gallery sales manager Peter J. Greenhalgh.

The Solo Show Spotlight Artist during Location Location is Andrew Collar, who will discuss his work during our Spotlight Artist Talk on Saturday, August 8 at 10 a. m. in the gallery, 19 Washington Street.

Generous support of the exhibition comes from Atlantic Nantucket, a lifestyle store.

AAN is grateful to ReMain Nantucket, sponsor of The Solo Show Spotlight Artists.

Location Location will be on display from August 7 to 17 in the Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery, 19 Washington Street. The gallery is open daily, Monday–Saturday 10 A.M.–6 P.M. (closed 2 – 2:30), Sunday 11 A.M. – 4 P.M. The Gallery is located across the street from the Greenhound Building and easily accessible by shuttle bus or bicycle.

Director, University of Massachusetts Nantucket Field Station (see yesterdaysisland.com for expanded article, website links, & notations)

This week I am fortunate to be hosting Andy Revkin for an on-island event to support the Organization of Biological Field Stations (www.obfs.org) in my role as the current President of OBFS. Andy was the science and environmental beat writer for the New York Times for 14 years and currently writes an excellent science blog for the New York Times called Dot Earth (dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com). He has written extensively on climate related issues, including the evolution of the Arctic and the crisis of communication that stymies many scientists as they try to describe their methods and conclusions to a public unsure of the scientific process. Andy coined the term Anthrocene in his 1992 book Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast, in which he wrote, "we are entering an age that might someday be referred to as, say, the Anthrocene. After all, it is a geological age of our own making."

The name evolved into the term scientists use now of Anthropocene (“anthropo” from the Greek word for “human” and “cene” for “new”) to describe the current geologic age as one in which human impacts are causing ecosystem wide change and have become the dominant driver of many earth processes.

Andy reminded me of a group that came here for the 2010 “Living on the Edge” Coastal Communities Conference called Atlantic Rising. Atlantic Rising was a two-year charitable project created by a group of three young Brits (Tim Bromfield, Will Lorimer, and Lynn Morris) who traveled the world showing people what a one meter (three foot) sea level rise would look like on the ground. They took their blog, videos, and other material and morphed it into educational resources for students aged 12-15. I was really impressed by their mission and their ability to viscerally show an average person what sea level rise would look like. They filmed a video with Andy and high school continued on page 31

Actor John Shea Stars as Captain Ahab "An adventure in theatre going. As I left the first performance I felt myself rather oddly shaky and breathless...There is nothing else anywhere near like Moby Dick in the theatre."

— The New York Daily News Written by Orson Welles, Moby-Dick Rehearsed celebrates the enduring legacy of Herman Melville’s masterpiece of American literature and was first performed in 1955 at the Duke of York Theatre in London. The adaptation by Nantucket Historical Assn and Theatre Workshop of Nantucket of this moving two-act play, directed by and starring TWN Artistic Director Emeritus John Shea as Captain Ahab, will alive under the 46-foot sperm whale skeleton in the Whaling Museum’s Gosnell Hall on August 10, 11, 12, and 13 at 7 pm.

Featuring an illustrious cast of community actors, the play evokes the essence of the ocean and turbulent life aboard a whaleship, as Captain Ahab follows his obsession to find the great white whale.

"We are bringing Welles's Moby-Dick Rehearsed back to the halls of the Whaling Museum for the fifth consecutive summer and it has become a Nantucket tradition,” says Marjan Shirzad, NHA Director of Visitor Experience.

“We are thrilled to partner with TWN again and welcome our guests back to this dramatic performance, which features top-notch acting in an unforgettable venue. Audiences should not miss an opportunity to see John Shea as Captain Ahab!"

Moby-Dick Rehearsed performances will run at the Whaling Museum from Monday to Thursday, August 10-13. On closing night, Thursday, August 13, tickets include the performance followed by a cocktail reception and meet & greet with the cast on the Whaling Museum rooftop observation deck.

Doors open at 6:30 pm; performances begin at 7 pm. To purchase tickets for this sure-to-sell-out event, visit nha.org/tickets or call 508-228-1894.

part of this unique Nantucket evening,” Gregory said. “Great mission and great entertainment. It's not to be missed.”

This year’s concert will throw it back to the 1970s as Lockhart and the Pops welcome special musical guest The Australian Bee Gees Show, a multimedia theatrical concert experience that takes a nostalgic trip through the legacy the Bee Gees left behind while celebrating over four decades of the infectious music written by the Gibb brothers. Together for more than 19 years, The Australian Bee Gees Show has mastered the look, sound, and personality of the adored trio, while cementing their reputation as the world’s leading Bee Gees show.

Back by popular demand this year will be the two LED jumbotrons on either side of the Pops stage to show attendees close-up images of the orchestra and to ensure that everyone on the beach has a clear view. Concert buzz on social media will use the hashtag #PopsOnAck As the event approaches, there are still general admission tickets available ($30, children $10). The Pops shop at the hospital at 57 Prospect Street is open Thursday and Friday, August 6 and 7 from 9 am to 4 pm to sell tickets and merchandise. Tickets are also available downtown at Murray’s Toggery Shop on Main Street, at Aunt Leah’s Fudge on Straight Wharf, and at Visitor Services on Federal Street. Tickets can also be purchased at nantuckethospital.org/Pops but need to be picked up in person at the Pops shop.

The Boston Pops on Nantucket concert is the largest single fundraiser for Nantucket Cottage Hospital and all funds generated during the event stay on the island to sustain the hospital’s year-round commitment to the health and wellbeing of the Nantucket community.

Into the Woods from page 5

Through the intervention of an evil witch, these characters are bound together on a journey to first make their wishes come true, and then to deal with the repercussions and consequences of those granted wishes.

Having missed my opportunity to see the recent movie of the same name, I did not know what to expect as I walked into the charming playhouse on Centre Street. The stage was lit in twilight blue, decorated with lush trees, and the sound of birdsong filled the air. As the lights dimmed down and the play began, I was immediately impressed by the range of characters and their powerful performances. While humorous at times, each actor conveyed a character that is complex, with feeling and soul. I felt lucky as I watched that, even though we are on the tiny island of Nantucket, we have such talent amongst us.

Because each character has an amusing new world-twist (Little Red Riding Hood is bratty and doesn’t want anything to do with the wolf, and Cinderella isn’t really that taken with the prince), I quickly became invested in the classic fairy tale characters I thought I had read about one thousand times before, and was curious as to how the story would end. If you don’t already know, the same tales we’ve all heard before are certainly not the same ones we are told at a production of Into the Woods.

There’s a reason why this popular 1987 musical written by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine has been so frequently revived, churning like a water wheel that splashes the audience with humor, passion, and sincerity all the while teaching a lesson like the best fairy tales tend to do. Under the direction of Justin Cerne and musical direction by Jillian Zack, each song and act is a heavy hitter and together, the entire cast unifies to pull off a huge, entertaining feast of characters.

Whether you’re young or old, let this stellar cast take you on a hike that is at times both delightfully funny and touchingly sincere. As on any real walk in the woods, you’ll meander with wonder from start to finish.

The Theatre Workshop of Nantucket production of Into the Woods is running now until August 29 at Bennett Hall, 62 Centre Street. For tickets, call the box office at 508-228-4305 or visit theatreworkshop.com

particularly cruel owner. It took a couple of attempts and two years but Douglass managed to escape slavery in 1838 and headed north, settling in New Bedford, which had a vibrant community of free black people, with his new bride and changed his last name to Douglass.

Douglass’s message was not always well received, but he developed into a powerful and articulate orator as well as a prolific writer. At the urging of Garrison, Douglass published his autobiography in 1845, which became an international best seller.

Fearing he would be captured and returned to slavery, Douglass spent the next two years in England, Scotland, and Ireland. Lecturing against slavery in the British Isles, English admirers of Douglass collected enough money to buy his freedom and in 1847 he returned to America a free man.

Douglass settled in Rochester, N.Y. where he published a newspaper called The North Star and continued to speak against social injustice. He joined the nation’s first suffragettes at their Seneca Falls women’s rights conference in 1848 and spoke convincingly in favor of giving women the right to vote. Based on his remarks, two thirds of those gathered voted to include the controversial measure into the convention’s resolutions.

By the time of the Civil War, Douglass was the most famous black man in America and used his influence to confer with US Presidents. After the war Douglass received political appointments to leadership roles in the Dominican Republic and Haiti and in 1877 was placed on the Equal Rights Party ticket—without his consent—as a vice presidential candidate.

Douglass spoke on Nantucket throughout his life. He returned to participate in anti-slavery conventions at the Atheneum in 1842 and 1843. In 1850 Douglass spoke again at the Atheneum, this time in its new building, the original having burned down in the Great fire of 1846. Douglass and J.C. Hathaway spoke against the Fugitive Slave Law. Passed that same year by the US Congress, the required law enforcement agents all over the country to return runaway slaves to their owners and charged a substantial fine to citizens who aided escaped slaves.

Douglass’ final Nantucket visit occurred in 1885 where he reminisced in a speech about his life as an escaped slave and involvement with the abolitionist movement.

In February of 1895 Douglass returned home from a meeting of the National Council of Women in Washington and died of a massive heart attack or stroke. He is buried in Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, New York.

salon surrounded by exquisite jewelry by Emilly, who is a Nantucket jewelry designer, artist, and ocean pearl specialist. Although her shop has only been on Centre Street for two seasons, Emilly has been living and creating jewelry on Nantucket for far longer. She has summered on the island with her family since 1969, and in addition to her studio, she had shops on Old South Wharf for years before moving closer to the heart of town.

Nearly all the jewelry she shows in her salon was made by Emilly in her island studio. Her rings, earrings, and necklaces feature handsculpted work (Rubin does her own metalwork—all in precious metals), sparkling gems, and shimmering pearls. Her designs are distinctive, not cookie-cutter, and most go seamlessly from day to evening wear. “If you’re spending money on jewelry you love, you should be able to wear it all the time,” she explains.

Rubin emphasizes quality and disagrees with the sale of poor-quality pearls being passed off as superior: “I work with beautiful material, and I’ve had the same two pearl suppliers for 25 years,” she commented. And she creates her unique and original designs using rare Ocean Keshi Pearls, along with South Sea and Tahitian.

“Because I have summered on Nantucket my whole life, I understand what people here want... the unique items they are looking for.” Her salon has a selection of georgeous ready-made pieces, but Emilly is happy to do custom work, taking into consideration personal style, skin tone, and color preferences of her clients. When you buy from Emilly Brooke Rubin Jewelry you are getting a unique piece made on Nantucket by the artist.

Emilly Brooke Rubin Jewelry Design & Sweet Liddle are open daily at 40 Centre Street. 508-228-3214. Follow her on Instagram at sweetliddle.

#yeswayrosé from page 9

If you are looking for a classic French example, look no further than the bar at Le Languedoc Bistro. They pour Minuty Rosé from the well-known Côtes de Provence region in Southern France. The pale honeysuckle pink color comes from a traditional blend of grapes in the area of Grenache, Cinsault, and a small amount of Syrah. This wine is aromatic, light and elegant with crisp acidity, which is key to a quality rose.

Château de Minuty is located on the St Tropez Peninsular, with its vineyards virtually overlooking the Mediterranean. The estate was built under Napoleon III in the mid-1800s. In 1936, the grandfather of current owner François Matton (along with his brother Jean-Etienne) replanted the entire estate and returned Château Minuty to its former glory. In 1955, Château Minuty was one of 23 estates to be consecrated as a classed growth of the Côtes de Provence, the highest ranking of the region.

This wine is bottled in the traditional (and distinctive) curvy shaped bottle that gives it away that it is a classic Provence rosé. In 1931, the ‘Syndicat de Defense des Côtes de Provence’ was created in order to regulate wines produced from this region. As more Provençal domaines who produced quality wines were bottling their own wines (versus being bottled by a negociant who purchased grapes from several growers and then blended a wine to sell), the Syndicat decided to design and copyright its own bottle. The “flute a corset Provençal” is only allowed to be used for domaine bottled wines and only appellation Côtes de Provence wines are permitted to use this bottle.

It is important to note that a wine from this region does not have to be bottled in this bowling pin shaped bottle. Some producers choose to select a traditional Burgundy or Bordeaux shaped bottle instead as these typically fit better in wine racks and refrigerators. Such is the case for the our feature.

Enjoying a glass of wine beachside while watching the sun go down is a Nantucket pastime that should be on everyone’s island bucket list. At The Galley, they serve a rosé by the glass that is also from the Côtes de Provence region, but, it’s from the Hyéres Islands (also known as the Golden Isles) off continued on page 26

Eye on Style

by Sarah Morneau

After decades of occupying the old Lobster Pot building on Easy Street, The Antiques Depot packed up its inventory this spring and moved into a new home on Federal Street. They are now located in the heart of town, in a bright and airy second floor space, perfect for displaying their antiques and collectables.

Head up the stairs on Federal Street and chances are you’ll be greeted at the door by Jack Fritsch or Howard Chadwick, co-founders of the The Antiques Depot. Howard has a life-long connection to the island and Jack arrived here in 1979 as a research biologist. Both with a long history and love of working with antiques, the two took over the former Tiller Antiques shop in 1989 and renamed it The Antiques Depot due to its proximity to the site of the old island railroad depot.

The Antiques Depot is one of Nantucket’s oldest antique shops. They specialize in Maritime, China Trade, and Nantucket antiques, including scrimshaw, decoys, Sailor’s Valentines, and Nantucket lightship baskets. Their well-curated collection also includes a fine selection of furniture, art and accessories from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.

Walking through the door of the Antiques Depot is like taking a step back in time, and I love browsing through their treasures and imagining a family from the past using the set of fine china at a celebration or how the woman’s figurehead once graced the front of a sailing ship. The experience of shopping here connects you to Nantucket’s past.

Jack and Howard are very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable, so if you have any questions or are looking for something in particular, don’t be afraid to ask. The Antiques Depot is located at 23 Federal Street, up the set of white stairs. They are open daily from 10am to 5pm and some of their collection can be seen online at nantucketantiquesdepot.com.

the coast of Provence, not the mainland. Domaine d’Ile hails from Porquerolles Island, which happens to be the biggest of the 3 outlying islands. ‘Ile’ translates to island in French, hence the apropos name of the winery.

But how did a winery end up on this remote island? The current owner is Sébastien Le Ber, whose grandfather bought the island in 1911 and planted vines in order to create fire shields. Sébastian took over the family business from his mother in 1980. The wines are completely organic (no weed killers or other chemical insecticides). The taste of the wines are unique based on the quality of the soils, the location of the islands and the mix of grapes used to make the rosé, which is Grenache, Cinsault, Tibouren (intensely aromatic with an earthy bouquet) and Mourvèdre. Perhaps you have seen Sébastien at the Nantucket Wine Festival where he is an annual luminary!

The second option is Château d’Esclans ‘Garrus’ Côtes de Provence 2013.

What is unique about the presentation of this wine is that the bottle is not uncorked when poured for a guest.

Rather the wine is extracted from the bottle using the Coravin Wine Access System. A thin, hollow needle is inserted through the cork to access the wine. While argon (an inert gas with no effect on the wine) is being pressurized into the bottle, the wine flows through the needle and pours into the glass. The needle is removed from the cork and the cork reseals itself so that you can enjoy the rest of

the bottle at a later time.

The wines of Château d’Esclans are the brainchild of Sasha Lichine, who purchased the midThe château is 1900s century estate in 2006. known for its old Grenache vines, which produce grapes that offer greater concentration of flavor than do younger vines. Garrus is the premiere rosé from the estate. It is produced from vines that are over 80 years old from selected parcels of superior quality. Unlike most other Provençal rosé, this one is aged in oak for almost a year and produced more like a fine White Burgundy than your every day pour. Hence, the current vintage is released more than a year after is it harvested and can be aged for 5-7 years. The bottle is shaped more like an oversized bottle of Burgundy with a larger bottom and thick glass like you would find for a Champagne bottle. Owner Sacha Lichine is another Wine Luminary in recent years to be found around the island during Nantucket Wine Festival.

The #yeswayrosé wine tour doesn’t stop just here. There are numerous other features from varying countries and grape varieties that can be found at different restaurants on island. It can be part of your end of summer project to make your way around the island to do some of your own market research. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and consider this continuing education. Best part is that rosé is a perfect pairing for an Indian Summer as well. Cheers!

I don’t think we necessarily need caution tape to remember that Nantucket, like many other low lying islands, is extremely vulnerable to sea level rise. The recent winter storms over the past three years have drilled into us the need to plan for sea level rise and to prepare for these storms in intelligent ways. The Town of Nantucket developed a Coastal Management Plan (nantucket-ma.gov/281/Coastal-Management-Plan-Work-Group) to set up protocols and an action plan to deal with town owned land in harm’s way from storm surge and erosion that was completed in 2014.

The Cape and the Islands were formed during the Wisconsin Glaciation period when a lobe of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (named the Laurentide after the Laurentian region of Canada where it first formed) pushed rocks and debris south as it flowed over the area. In fact, the ice sheet moved back and forth a few times (advanced and retreated), but essentially it stopped right along the area on Nantucket where we have a few hills on the northern side.

The southern side is mainly outwash plain, or bits of sediment that melted out and stayed there as the ice retreated north as the earth warmed up. The islands became islands as the sea level rose around 10,000-12,000 years ago.

The wind and waves started moving the sand around, redistributing it in storms and depositing it just like a pile of sand in a bucket with some water would do if it were swirled around.

The sea level rise that created Nantucket’s watery moat that separates us from the mainland is continuing at a faster pace. Worldwide, the conservative midrange estimate predicts oceans will rise 18 inches by 2100. As you may have noticed, Nantucket is not very high: Altar Rock is only 100 feet above sea level (fourth highest point) and the highest point, Sankaty Head, just a little south of Sankaty Light clocks in at a dizzying 111 feet. If sea level rise continued on page 32

stayed constant at a rate of almost a foot over the last 100 years, we would have plenty of time to enjoy the island. But it is accelerating, and the loss of marshes and low lying land means storm surges are going to move inland.

The New England area has experienced accelerated sea level rise over the last 500 years from 1 mm per year to 2.5 mm/year (in 1990) to close to 3.0 mm/year now. The most accurate recent estimates for Nantucket can be found at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) sea level online site at: tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends.html. You can see the winners and losers across the nation quite quickly and there are far more losers than winners. Right over Nantucket a yellow arrow pointing up indicates that for Nantucket “The mean sea level trend is 3.58 mm/year with a 95% confidence interval of +/- 0.39 mm/year based on monthly mean sea level data from 1965 to 2014 which is equivalent to a change of 1.17 feet in 100 years.”

Massachusetts includes 1500 miles of tidal shoreline, 78 coastal communities, 681 barrier beaches and 36,000 people live within 500 feet of a coastal shore. Approximately 72% of the Massachusetts shore is exhibiting a longterm erosional trend and this trend has accelerated since 1950. Nantucket has the highest erosion rates in the state, with parts of the southern side losing 12 feet per year on average. Storm generated erosion ranges over periods of hours (tropical cyclones) to several days (northeasters). Although the storm events are short-lived, the resulting erosion can be equivalent to decades of long-term erosion. The actual quantity of sediment eroded from the coast is a function of storm tide elevation relative to land elevation, the duration of the storm and the characteristics of the storm waves. During severe coastal storms, it is not uncommon for the entire berm (dry beach above the normal high water line) and part of the dune to be removed from the beach. The amount of erosion is also dependent on the pre-storm width and elevation of the beach. Repeated small storms can do a lot of damage because the beach is more vulnerable to sand loss. In fact, the cumulative efcontinued on page 33

fects of two closely spaced minor storms can often exceed the impact of one severe storm, as we saw this past spring with the nor’easters “Nemo” in February and “Saturn” in March occurring not all that long after Superstorm/Hurricane Sandy and doing more damage than Sandy to many parts of the island.

Sandy was the second most costly hurricane in the U.S ($68 billion) only surpassed by Hurricane Katrina. So although hurricane erosion can be serious and dramatic, in the long run, it is the northeast storms that do the most damage.

In January, winter storm Juno once again battered the island, taking away a large chunk of the barrier beach here at Folger’s marsh, driving sand all the way to Polpis Road and marking a low lying building with a mud line not far from the one deposited by Hurricane Bob (1991) and others lines left by hurricanes and storms like Sandy, Saturn, and Nemo. These mud and water lines on a beach house that will definitely have to be raised to deal with sea level rise remind me of the heights of children on a door frame. Juno also ripped huge refrigerator sized chunks of marsh vegetation and ribbed mussels out of the marsh and hurled them like bowling balls onto the back marsh. By far the damage to the Nantucket Field station land was some of the most extreme I have seen in the past 12 years. Boston observed 24.6 in (62 cm) of snow, its largest January storm total accumulation and its sixth largest storm total accumulation on record and we had a long period with no electricity on island.

The fact that our sand moves around helps us recover form storms like these as the sand moves offshore to form sandbars and shoals. Nantucket as an island is relatively nimble and able to adapt to change. But most likely within 400-600 years, much of the island will be flooded and only a few high points and higher elevations will still be sticking up out of the ocean. I give a talk about three or four times a year on the effect of climate change on Nantucket. One tool I use in the talk can be found online at flood.firetree.net. It is a pretty sobering wakeup call when you input a 1 meter rise in sea level and see most of Coatue, Madaket, and parts of downtown, Brant Point, and

the marsh edges at the field station under water. So far, most of our marshes have been relatively stable and build up to keep pace with the rising sea level, but higher astronomical tides, more intensive storms which accelerate erosion, and projects which divert the sediment flowing to and along our shores can hurt the ability of the island to adapt to sea level rise. As a coastal scientist, I try to remind myself that I am here right in the teeth of the effects in a perfect location to measure how the island is changing.

Changing perhaps abruptly in midstream to another strange and recent story about the effects of sea level rise and warming temperatures, this past week a story started circulating on the web describing how climate change and warming seas have led to dolphins moving further north up into the Arctic area as sea ice melts. Polar bears are quickly adapting to this new food source. In one instance a bear was observed killing and eating one dolphin and stashing the other one under the ice to eat later! That is an impressive feat that has been seen a few times before when hapless whales get trapped by refreezing ice and devoured by hungry polar bears.

From The Telegraph: “Polar bears have been spotted eating dolphins in the Arctic for the first time ever by Norwegian scientists, who believe global warming could have caused the bears to expand their diet. Polar bears feed mainly on seals but Jon Aars at the Norwegian Polar Institute has photographed dolphins being devoured by a bear and published his findings in the latest edition of Polar Research this month. “It is likely that new species are appearing in the diet of polar bears due to climate change because new species are finding their way north," he told AFP.� As our oceans warm and become more acidic and areas formerly ice covered year round are exposed, stories like this may become commonplace. How humans and other animals adapt to these changing conditions as the Anthropocene progresses will hopefully not be a swan song but a song of resilience.

and other thoughtful businesses leave water bowls out for the dogs, but Princess comes to those bowls as well.

And she remains as tiny, as fragile, and as delicious as ever. He can drink, but carefully. In the winter, my Boon Companion will sit on the bricks outside of Mitchell’s for a few minutes while I re-examine the best sellers. In August, we look through the windows.

He doesn’t like traveling on the boat in the summer.

He gets a special harness and a very short leash. Seven or so potential friends ride the boat with him, but the outside deck is jammed with Lily Pulitzer skirts, Tevas, and rum drinks. A dog cannot stretch out, nor can he wander and sniff the delicious things that are hiding in the corners underneath the seats and behind the trash cans. Inside, he paces at my side, teased by the yappy lap dogs ten feet in front of him, perched on Somebody’s lap. So he barks hello, in that deep, stentorian bass that cuts through conversation and threatens, albeit only licking and sniffing. So we go back outside into the Dark and Stormy crowd.

He cannot go to the beach, just as he cannot go to a butcher shop or a bike race. In the off-season when we pull into the Cisco parking lot, he leaps from the car, sprints to the waves, and looks for his favorite prey, the water bottle. Once found, he holds it in his jaw (like a duck), drops it in a fit of Labrador ADD and has to chase it down the wind. This could go on until the water bottle becomes too crushed for the wind, it blows out to sea, or he runs out of sand. Unfortunately, in August the beach has been set with a buffet of everything a puppy loves: fellow dogs, snacks, and water bottles. Little, precious Princesses rest in the shadows behind Somebody and

nose about in the sand. Other Labs, with better behavior and more skilled owners, leap into the surf after frisbees and tennis balls. To my boon companion, Cisco in August presents every pleasure, temptation, and bright flashy thing a dog could love in every corner of his heart, including, especially, the lip-smacking-yummy dead seagull in the dunes. Better that he spends the afternoon in the cool corner of the kitchen and listens to the barking of the nail guns than be tantalized by seaside heaven.

Nantucket in August remains Nantucket no matter how long the traffic backs up at the Rotary. To find it, you need to leave the pavement and the cobblestones and follow the wind. If you go beyond the Land Rovers and the pretty aqua bicycles, you can find an island with only deer, rabbits, and poison ivy. Off into the heart of conservation land, paths have been cut through moors. They slide past ponds and cranberry bogs, slip through forests of red maple and tupelo, and wallow in cozy mud puddles. Only here can my boon companion lose his leash and cavort through the undergrowth. Now free, he sprints after the rabbits and dives into the scrub pines, then returns with a four foot long stick in his mouth and a very proud tail.

August abides. The sun glows in a cloudless blue sky.

The ocean builds, rolls, and breaks with waves born far out in the Atlantic. The southwesterly wind shakes the bushes and cools us in the afternoon. August arrives with sandy feet and salty hair, then she settles into the shade of the scrub pine. She strolls Cisco and on Main Street, to crowds, parking, and American Express Cards.

She walks through the Westmoor Campus, past the valet parking and the tennis pros. She also graces the glade at the top of rise on the conservation farm property, far from the golf courses, tennis courts, and south shore beaches, where my boon companion emerges from the poison ivy with the bottom half of a finely aged rabbit.

Featured Restaurant: Queequeg’s

We’ll Meet You at The Tree Bar

Crab Cake

Tucked away on Oak Street between Federal and South Water streets, is an in-town eatery where you can show up in shorts, relax, and enjoy great food and cocktails without breaking the bank.

From the outside, Queequeg’s looks small and unassuming. Inside, it’s warm and welcoming, cozy but not crowded. The indoor dining room is familiar to all year-rounders: this is one of the few restaurants open through the winter. Their Red Wine Braised Short Ribs are enough reason for all of us to trek through the cold and the snow to come to Queequeg’s in February. Whale carvings adorn the walls, reminding guests of the Moby-Dick origins of the name of this eatery and giving it a nautical touch without making it touristy.

But it’s August, so barring rain, we want to be outdoors, and the patio o at

Heirloom Tomato Salad

Queequeg’s is the ideal spot to enjoy sunny days, warm evenings, and cool summer breezes. Tables on the patio are close together, and everyone outside is having fun on the evening last week that we dined here. On one side of us is a family group: three generations from the look of it, from under 10 to over 60.

On the other side, a group of Millenials here for a girls’ night out—we know this because they asked us to take a photo for “The Book.” We run into this sort of camaraderie a lot here, and it adds to the fun and casual appeal of the place.

A block long, stretching from Oak Street all the way to East Chestnut, Queequeg’s patio is separated from the patio of its sister restaurant Town by the famous Tree Bar. Built to wrap around a central tree, the bar seats about a dozen guests, usually a good mix of locals and visitors. Expert bartenders at the Tree

Bar are fast and friendly, and this is known as a great place to stop for a cocktail and a bite to eat before or after a movie, a play, or an opening or simply after work.

The dinner menu at Queequeg’s is a single page: you could try everything on it in just a few visits, and you might be tempted to do exactly that! Every dish we sampled was creative and flavorful, with the right mix of classic preparation and new, delicious inspiration.

Skillet Roasted Mussels New England Clam Chowder is a classic— creamy but not too thick, and full of tender clams, potatoes, and onions. All it needs is a bit of ground pepper, which our attentive server, Danny, was quick to offer.

The Crab Cake at Queequeg’s is deliciously different. It’s served as a single cake, large and very thick. The cake is formed from nearly solid crabmeat with just a bit of lemon zest and herbs—with no obvious crumbs and no apparent mayo, it’s a mystery how the it holds together. However the chef achieves it, the result is impressive: a well formed cake that is both dense with sweet crabmeat and delicate. The cake is rolled in panko before being sauteed till top and bottom are browned and crunchy. A brightly flavored lemon aioli sets this dish apart and a cool, crisp, sweet slaw of mango, apple, and papaya adds a final summery touch—you’ll want a bit of both with every bite!

Their version of tuna tartar is a delightful taste of summer on Nantucket. We love that at Queequeg’s the tuna is not smooshed into a tiny cake: Tuna Napoleon

Vol. 45 No. 14 • Our 45th Season!

instead, it’s spread across a plate with crunchy triangles of fried wonton set sideways into it—hence the name Tuna Napoleon. Chef Brian Williams cuts fresh sushi grade tuna into small chunks, tosses them with little cubes of creamy avocado and pomegranate in a blood orange vinaigrette that livens up the taste and adds a tingle of spice Creekstone Farm Grass Fed Sirloin without masking the fresh, clean flavor of the tuna. We love the combination of flavors and textures in this appetizer.

Another sensational seasonal starter is the Heirloom Tomato Salad. The tomato harvest peaks in August, and this salad takes full advantage, showcasing thick, juicy wedges of three different varieties of this luscious summer fruit.

Next to the tomato is burrata cheese and two moist, intensely flavored cubes of compressed watermelon. When you cut into the burrata, its creamy center spills out and mixes with the juices of tomato and watermelon and the sweet of sherry reduction underneath. This salad is simple, straightforward, and very very good!

Some variation of Skillet Roasted Mussels have been a staple of Queequeg’s for several seasons.

The preparation sometimes shifts, but the mussels are reliably good: tender and flavorful. This summer the chef is serving them in a creamy sauce flavored with tarragon, fennel, lardons, and a splash of pernod. After devouring the mussels, we mopped up the sauce with the grilled bread and then asked for Jumbo Shrimp Scampi

August 6 - 12, 2015

spoons.

Three signature dishes on Queequeg’s menu—Red Wine Braised Short Ribs, Jumbo Shrimp Scampi, and Bolognese—are offered in both full and half portions. Each is a patron favorite, beautifully done and delicious. Be warned: if you order the half-portion you may wish you had gotten the full!

We’ve enjoyed the Jumbo Shrimp Scampi at Queequeg’s many times: it’s one of our favorite dishes. The new chef does it just right, with perfectly cooked shrimp, sweet roasted tomatoes, and al dente spaghetti tossed with arugula in a buttery sauce of white wine and roasted garlic.

Sometimes all you want is a good steak, and Queequeg’s is just where you’ll find it. They serve a delectable Creekstone Farm Grass Fed Sirloin that is so beefy and tender that it could take on any tenderloin served in town! Nicely charred outside and a perfect medium rare within, the succulent steak is served over thin spears of grilled asparagus. Soft, sweet caramelized onions are spread overtop the sirloin, with crumbles of blue cheese adding a tasty tang. A classic dark, rich bordelaise is drizzled over the top, and we couldn’t resist dipping the truffled frites, hot and crisp and thin, into the flavorful sauce.

Another stellar dish is Chef William’s interpretation of Chicken Marsala. The emphasis is on the moist and tender chicken, with the deeply flavorful and slightly sweet marsala sauce drizzled over and around, forming a pool of deliciousness underneath that envelopes the mushrooms and roasted fingerling potatoes. Spinach, cooked with lemon and garlic lightens the dish..

Our favorite among the entrees on Chef Williams’ summer menu is the Pan Seared Scallops. When done correctly, these delicate morsels from the sea are sweet and meltingly tender, and the scallops on this entree are cooked to perfection. They’re served on a sucDark Chocolate Lava Cake cotash of sweet corn, and about every size and variety of bean we can think of, from favas to limas. The succotash and scallops are served on an orange reduction that adds a bright citrusy sweetness that enhances that natural sweet flavor of the scallops.

Save room for dessert at Queequeg’s, they don’t offer a huge variety—the evening we dined there were just two—but what they do serve are sensational!

We couldn’t pick a favorite between the Dark Chocolate Lava Cake topped with salted caramel ice cream and chocolate sauce or the Cranberry Bread Pudding, served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting down into a sweet puddle of warm caramel sauce.

Always held the first two weeks in August, campers are led through a unique fitness program in the early morning Jetties Beach sunrise. Not a “boot camp,” [how hard is it to yell at people?]

Tom prefers to call it an “Adult Gym Class, “providing a fun yet challenging workout tailored to each person’s personal fitness level. Cardiovascular drills, strength exercises, plyometric and agility stations, team events and much more. Tom also teaches while he trains, giving fitness, nutrition and motivation tips throughout each and every workout. From the beginner exerciser to advanced athlete, Tom challenges each person to push his or her own personal limits. Camp size limited - register early to reserve your spot!
