By Land & By Sea By land & by sea, join Egan Maritime for two unforgettable evening programs with American Troubadour Bill Schustik. On Thursday, August 15, at the Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum, Schustik will take patrons on a musical adventure into the soul of New England and the sea. Then, on Friday, August 16, as part of Egan Maritime’s Nantucket Sounds sunset sail series, he will play traditional folk music that weaves storytelling, rich history, and theatrical performance together aboard Tall Ship Lynx.

American Troubadour Bill Schustik is best known for his sensational baritone voice, ability to play multiple folk instruments, and deep passion for traditional American lore. Egan Maritime is excited to have him at the nation’s first museum dedicated to lifesaving history as well as onboard the iconic, historic Tall Ship. Both venues provide the perfect stage to be enchanted, captivated, and entertained by a seasoned performer & renowned folk musician.

Egan’s Manager of Maritime Education, Evan Schwanfelder, commented, “Bill has the ability to transport patrons to America’s maritime past and take them on a thrilling adventure through his music and theatrical performance.

We are excited to have him perform, by land & by sea, in two different settings; it gives people the chance to experience his traditional folk music at two unique, authentic, and historic venues.�

Don’t miss the opportunity to hear folk musician and troubadour, Bill Schustik, perform at the Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum and aboard Tall Ship Lynx. Tickets for Schustik’s performance at the Museum on August 15 are $40 ($30 for Egan Maritime members). Refreshments and libations will be served.

Doors open at 5:30 pm; the performance begins at 6 pm. Tickets to hear Schustik onboard Lynx are $75 each. Patrons are encouraged to bring snacks and beverages to enjoy while under sail (BYOB). The boat launch to Lynx leaves at 5pm from Waypoint Marine and is included with the ticket price. To purchase tickets for either program, call 508.228.2505 or visit eganmaritime.org.

The mission of Egan Maritime Institute is to inspire the appreciation and preservation of the island’s maritime culture & seafaring legacy. They offer a splashy variety of family-friendly, maritime education programs. In 2019, Egan is celebrating thirty years of service on Nantucket, thanks to the support of our loyal donors, members, and patrons. To learn more visit eganmaritime.org.

A Spine-Tingling Concert To Be Held Tuesday, August 20

by Suzanne Daub According to Eva-Maria, it is all because of the piano.

Eva-Maria Tausig has been an integral part of the Nantucket Musical Arts Society for decades, and her excitement was palpable as she described the last NMAS concert of the 2019 season: a two-piano duo featuring internationally-known musicians Vivian Choi and Fei-Fei Dong, scheduled for this Tuesday, August 20. “This is going to be marvelous! We have two wonderful musicians who also happen to be good friends and will love to play together.� “A two-piano duo has not been done successfully here in 40 years...[the last time] the performers were wonderful, but the piano needed to be burned... We tried to get other pianos that would match the one we had [a Steinway donated in the mid-1980s in honor of Crystal and Leeds Mitchell by their son], but we really struck out...�

That is, until now: “The second piano [for this concert] was left to the Congregational Church by our friend Adie McAuley, herself a good pianist, and that Steinway has been rebuilt this last winter by the same people who had been taking care of our piano for years. “We have permission to use it, and it will be moved very carefully on Monday, August 19 to the front of the main nave, to sit nestled close to the Mitchell piano. There they will be tuned to each other in preparation for our very special concert on Tuesday evening.�

Tausig described what is so special about a two-piano duo: “You’ll hear something that is hard to imagine. No two pianos have exactly the same continued on page 14

NANTUCKET WALKING TOURS Providing Quality Tours Since 1998

H The Original Nantucket Ghost Walk H Nantucket Swim Across America will hold its eighth annual swim next Saturday, August 24. This annual open water swimming event brings more than 500 people to Jetties Beach at 8 am to either volunteer or dive into the warm waters of Nantucket Sound. Since 2012, the Swim has raised more than $2 million for cancer treatment and patient care on Nantucket Island.

This year’s target is to raise over $400,000; donations are being accepted now at swimacrossamerica.org/nantucket.

The Swim is a driving force behind the oncology and palliative care services which are now available at the Nantucket Cottage Hospital. A new infusion center, the Erwin and Stephanie Greenberg - Swim Across America Infusion Center, opened to rave reviews this year. Cancer treatments at the Cottage Hospital are on the rise and now record more than 425 oncology visits a year. World-class cancer care is provided by Massachusetts General Hospital oncologists at the Cottage Hospital. There is also a full-time oncology nurse practitioner, Ugne Aleknaite, on-island. Summer and year-round residents can get infusion and chemotherapy without leaving Nantucket.

Proceeds from the Swim also support the palliative care mission of Palliative and Supportive Care of Nantucket (PASCON). Dianne Bein is the nurse practitioner and program director who leads the palliative care service delivery and assists patients faced with serious illness. “The demand for palliative care services is rising nationally and Nantucket is no exception. We leverage a terrific corps of professional staff and volunteers to provide care. PASCON could not do this without the tremendous support from Swim Across America,” said Dianne Bein.

The Swim offers a number of options for swimmers. “There is a kid splash, a one-quarter mile, a half mile and a mile swim for all levels of swimmers. It is a moving morning, and you get a great breakfast sandwich generously donated from Island Kitchen to top off the swim,” said Co-director Jim Pignato. There will also be a Swim Across America team of 12 runners entered in the Falmouth Road Race that will raise more than $10,000. This Saturday, August 17, fourteen intrepid swimmers will traverse the island’s North Shore in a four-mile swim from 40th Pole to Jetties and will raise more than $80,000 alone in this marathon event.

There is still time to sign up for the August 24 swim and join in on this exciting event. Co-Director Jill Roethke noted, “There is an easy on-line registration process at swimacrossamerica.org/nantucket. This event represents the best of Nantucket; our beautiful water and our community, caring for one another. I don’t think there is a better way to cap off your summer.

You will walk away from the event knowing that you have helped a fellow islander.”

NANTUCKET SHIPWRECK & LIFESAV VING MU USEUM 158 Polpis l i Roadd | Memorial M i l Day D thr h oughh Columbus ol b Day D

Not far from the Hyline docks and just behind the famous Straight Wharf Gazebo are the wide wooden steps that bring you into Perch Nantucket. This store is large and open, carrying some the island’s trendiest clothing. Laurie O’Connell, owner and buyer for the company, is primarily based out of their other location in Colorado, but is visiting the island and took time to sit down and tell me all about her exciting endeavor that began Perch seven years ago.

Laurie has been traveling to Nantucket summers since her college days, and eventually returned to vacation for many years. She worked in New York City fashion for 10 years and opened her first Perch clothing store in Vail, Colorado, a natural step for the owner who has an eye for fashion. She shares: “A customer came in within a couple weeks of opening and said ‘This would be a great store on Nantucket’,” first planting the seed of what is now Perch Nantucket at 2 Harbor Square. “The dream manifested itself,” says O’Connell, who was finally able to bring Perch to Nantucket three years ago. Perch got its name from the Vail location, as they are located “up on a ‘perch’ above the street,” but the name is so unique and perfect that it fits its newest home on Nantucket, perfectly.

“All the women in town love what we’re doing” says O’Connell, a statement evidenced by the bustling shop. The store itself is designed for an “experiential shopping visit,” complete with a large sitting area that allows for shoppers and their friends and family to enjoy the Perch space. The store remains professional in terms of sales staff, who cater to customers and help them to cultivate wardrobes they will love, “it is a pleasing customer experience,” explained O’Connell. While they provide a top-notch shopping experience, they also have fun and build important and memorable shopping relationships: “we like to chit-chat” says O’Connell, with a laugh.

Perch caters to the “multifaceted woman,” it could be “a mom who is working professionally and raising kids or working on herself.” The shop itself carries a mix of fashion-forward items, offering stylized modern work wear or cute swim suits, and beach clutches with clever phrases like “Sea You.” There is a wide variety, and O’Connell appreciates that her store has been cultivated to have “something for everybody.” The store is “multigenerational, with moms, daughters, and grandmothers all shopping together.”

From start to finish this is a relaxed and personalized shopping experience that will make you and all of the generations in your family Perch shoppers for life.

This trendy shop features several lines of contemporary clothing including Veronica Beard, Tanya Taylor, rag & bone, and L’AGENCE, to name a few.

This summer Perch and Veronica Beard have partnered to host an exclusive collection of Veronica Beard shoes, clothing, and goodies in the main shopping area of the Perch store. Veronica Beard is a clothing company based out of New York City, owned and operated by “The Veronicas,” a sister-inlaw duo who share a first name and a passion for clothing. They bring a unique and innovative style to their line, one that reflects well in the clothing that O’Connell has curated for Perch. Shoppers can count on a look for any continued on page 25

The Salvation of a Nantucket Sunset

by Robert P. Barsanti Even at 6 pm you can find sandals at the beach. They remain paired and herded at the base of a dune, or underneath the Rosa Rugosa, or at the foot of the stairs. All the brands are represented, from Nike to J.J. Newberry’s to L.L.Bean to Thrift Shop.

I am not of the flip-flop tribe, so I cannot speak for their customs. I would like to believe that these people wear their flip-flops from their cars, over the rough and rocky parking lot, and to the beach, where they surrender them at the first kiss of sand and then proceed to a towel and the rolling Atlantic. But, when I come here in the evening, or, perhaps, February, some of these sandals are still nestled up under the stairs or wedged under the bushes, hibernating until July. I suppose some people just leave their sandals at the beach, and then change into them at the base of the dune, so that they can cross hot sand.

I don’t know if this is common at other beaches in America. I haven’t noticed it happening in Wellfleet, Hawaii, or Gloucester, but I haven’t travelled the length and breadth and can’t speak as an authority. But, I think many summer visitors have a proprietary view of “their� beach. Those beaches have better sand, or better waves, or less seaweed, or, frankly, more friends.

Oh, they know that “Schneidies� or “Fat Ladies� or “Airport� are not, per se, their beaches, but they are the ones that they go to if they have a choice. But in the winter, when they are stuck in the long parade to Hartford on I-84, those are the beaches that they see. For them, their worn flip-flops are membership cards; they belong to this strip of sand. Membership, as we remember, has its privileges.

One of those privileges comes at sunset. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth—whenever it is a damp drizzly November in my soul— continued on page 16

“Same Place, Different Gift�

YOU ARE INVITED TO DO SOME SERIOUS SUMMER SHOPPING! JOIN US AT

DOORS OPEN NOW THROUGH SEPTEMBER HARBOR SQUARE | STRAIGHT WHARF | NANTUCKET

@PERCHNANTUCKET @VERONICABEARD

Stop by The Love Shack on Old South Wharf and check out all of our new LOLA designs!

As I settled into one of the comfy leather chairs he sells on the upper level of Don Freedman’s downtown shop, ready to chat with him about his 40th season on Nantucket, one of his many regular customers stopped by to introduce Don to his son. “He’s the third generation,� said Bob, “I used to come in with my dad, and I’ve brought my little guy with me this summer.� “We always find something interesting and fun here,� added Kristin, Bob’s wife, “we’ve bought a weathervane, jewelry boxes, clocks, a decanter...our son is eyeing the telescope...this is the best place to find a gift for the man who has everything. You’ll find something here that he doesn’t have.� “We’ll see you again a year from now,� Bob said as they departed, “same place, different gift.�

Don Freedman first opened a store on Nantucket in 1979. At that time he was in a 200-square-foot shop on Old South Wharf, selling unique items of home decor, whimsical metal sculptures, and gorgeous tapestries. Now, 40 years later, he is in a 1,200-square-foot shop in the heart of town at 14 Centre St. “We’ve seen some monumental changes to the island in the past 40 years,� said Don, “when we started, we sold a lot of cute novelty items...tastes changed, and we changed with them...now we sell items with more sophistication and character.�

It’s clear that Don Freedman loves what he does and enjoys working with his customers—you can see it in the creativity of his designs and in his dedication to the shop. “We’re here as long as 12 hours a day, 7 days a week,� he explained. “At 81 years of age, I couldn’t be more comfortable with the store with my situation... we’ve been recognized across the country, in Architectural Digest, Veranda Magazine, and the New York Times. This September, Don Freedman will be honored locally when the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce gives him their Legacy Award.

But it’s the people and the work more than the accolades that Don considers rewarding: “It’s so nice to have loyal customers who have become friends...It’s hard to believe that we’ve been here 40 years: we must be doing something right!� — Suzanne Daub

Art in August with AAN

Join the Artists Association of Nantucket (AAN) as they continue to celebrate the rich and vibrant history of art on Nantucket throughout the month of August. Exhibitions, a sidewalk show, and an annual meeting round out a month of exciting events, workshops, and classes available at this community organization that recognizes and celebrates the visual arts on Nantucket.

This Friday, August 16 from 6 to 8 pm, the AAN will host an opening reception for their Artist/Patron Exhibition that will run in the Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery until September 2. This show features the best works by members of the AAN and will be juried by AAN board president Katie Trinkle Legge who has a “vast knowledge of island art,” says artistic director Robert Frazier, and “will review assorted works in oils, acrylics, watercolor, photography, mixed media, and ceramics for recognition or awards.” Visitors to the gallery will have the chance to see an exhibition that has been part of the AAN for 70 years, and is considered one of the “high points of the gallery season,” says Frazier. Solo Show Spotlight Artist, Kathleen Van Lieu who will talk about her work in a free event at 10am this Saturday, August 17 at the downtown gallery.

Dating back to the 1930s, this Sidewalk Show initially began with artist Maud Stumm, and has evolved into a community event that is now hosted by the AAN. Next Saturday, August 24, head downtown to the Atheneum Garden from 9am to 2pm, where more than twenty AAN members will display their work be available to talk with visitors. The show is open and free to the public.

A Short Tale about Long Pond

by Dr. Sarah Treanor Bois Director of Research & Education at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation

4 India St, 2nd Floor • 508-228-8509 thegallerynantucket.com representing 30 master artists

According to Wampanoag tradition, Nantucket was formed when the giant Indian, Moshaup, dumped the sand out of his moccasins at the end of a long day. The sand from one moccasin became Martha’s Vineyard and the sand from the other became Nantucket.

Today we know that Nantucket was formed by the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the last glacial stage. Where the glacier stopped its southward progression is what we call the “terminal moraine” full of glacial till. Beyond the moraine is the outwash plain. As the glacier receded, the meltwater flowed off the moraine at various points. The remainder of those water flows is what we see today as Nantucket’s long ponds: Miacomet, Hummock, Long Pond, and Madequecham Valley, among others. These ponds are all oriented north to south, sometimes connecting to the ocean.

Long Pond, on Nantucket’s west end, is a 132-acre tidally restricted brackish pond dominated by fringing wetlands. It is particularly interesting with three distinct sections: an upper pond to the north, a lower pond that is long and narrow, and a ditched marsh which eventually leads to Madaket Harbor and the ocean.

First of all is the north head of Long Pond. It is best viewed from the Linda Loring Nature Foundation property on Eel Point Road. There is no direct pond access there, but the overlook from the walking trail is a quiet place to watch the osprey fish for white perch from the nearby roost. This is a great spot for winter duck viewing, as the pond edges freeze. Snapping turtles regularly nest in the sandy banks of the paths and paper roads to the east. With only one occupied house on the whole of this portion of the pond, there is actually little human activity or input. The only public access to this portion of the pond is found along Madaket Road, across from the infamous turtle dock.

“Turtle Pond” is actually just one dock along the main portion of Long Pond. Only a culvert connects the north and south parts of the pond. Animals (such as turtles) can pass through, but the culvert is small for significant water exchange. I recently wrote about “turtle pond” and about the negative associations with feeding turtles (yesterdaysisland.com/ode-to-an-unloved-or-overlovedcontinued on page 27

Mission Completed In front of the thousands gathered at Jetties Beach for the annual Boston Pops on Nantucket concert, Nantucket Cottage Hospital capital campaign chairman Bruce A. Percelay announced the successful completion of the hospital’s $120 million fundraising effort to build the island’s new healthcare facility. It marked the culmination of the largest community hospital fundraising campaign ever conducted in the United States.

“Big dreams come true on this little island and tonight is no exception,” Percelay said from the stage. “I’m thrilled, and somewhat relieved, to announce that as of 7:30 p.m. last night we have reached our goal of $120 million in our capital campaign for the new hospital.”

The 23rd annual Boston Pops on Nantucket event was a celebration of Nantucket’s first new hospital in more than 60 years, which opened its doors February 20th. Built entirely through private donations, the 14-bed, 106,000 square foot hospital completely replaces the island’s former facility constructed in 1957. The Pops concert was also highlighted by the announcement that NCH President and CEO Dr. Margot Hartmann will be retiring from her position after 10 years of dedicated service to the hospital and the community.

“This is a bittersweet evening for me as these are my last few weeks as President and CEO of Nantucket Cottage Hospital,” Dr. Hartmann said from the stage. “I will leave this role with my heart full and confident in the fact that our hospital is well positioned for the future with an amazing staff, strong leadership on the Board, and an incredibly generous community. I want to thank all of you for your wonderful support and I will look back at this experience as one of the most challenging and rewarding times of my life.”

A video recorded by Governor Charlie Baker and played during the show opener congratulated Dr. Hartmann for her years of service and Percelay on leading the fundraising. The hospital’s main building will now be known as the Percelay Pavilion in honor of his wife and his children William and Charlie who were born on the island, and the family’s $10 million lead gift.

Last Saturday’s concert opened with a stirring rendition of the National Anthem by The Voice winner and Massachusetts native, Brynn Cartelli, who was discovered on Nantucket. The Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra and conductor Keith Lockhart opened with the main act of the evening and were joined by The Spinners. The event was capped by an elaborate firework display and raised more than $2 million for hospital operations.

MUST DO!

Regardless if you are a first time or returning visitor to Nantucket, this restaurant must be on your “to do” list. Offering three dining areas, the original restaurant has a distinct ambiance - tavern style, that echoes the old New England whaling days. The Brotherhood is a favorite place for over four generations of Islanders! Our newly renovated patio is an oasis in the middle of town.

We use the freshest, natural, and New England sourced ingredients.

Come see us for lunch or dinner!

Because Nantucket is an island, performers cannot arrive the day of the concert: â&#x20AC;&#x153;What if the boat is cancelled?â&#x20AC;? So they arrive the day before, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and that is the reason for our Meet the Artist â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very informal eveningâ&#x20AC;? and a rare chance for music lovers to meet and talk with performers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sometimes have a very interesting discussion on the music.â&#x20AC;&#x153; The free Meet the Artist session featuring Vivian Choi and Fei-Fei Dong will be held this Monday, August 19 at 5:30 pm in the Great Hall of the Nantucket Atheneum on India Street.

Tausigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excitement is infectious, and she hopes that this final 2019 NMAS concert is well-attended by all ages, saying classical music â&#x20AC;&#x153;brings the most diverse groups of people together with a common experience and a common language. Music and the emotions it elicits do not depend on the spoken word, so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to have a vocabulary in common. You can sit next to someone from anywhere in the world and have the same spine-tingling experience when you hear a great soprano or pianist or violinist.â&#x20AC;?

Tickets to Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concert are $25 ($10 for students) and are available at the door the evening of the concert or in advance at the Antiques Depot, 2 South Beach Street.

I find that it is high time that I go to the beach and see a sunset. Now, I understand that searching after sunsets is the sort of thing that plein-air artists, twiggy poets, and TED Talk speakers might do, but an island sunset comes in a different flavor, for a different audience. I try not to hang out with those sorts for obvious reasons.

When the sun sets on Nantucket, it descends into the straight line of the horizon. The sun does not slip behind the Adirondacks, then bathe the mountains and valleys in a golden Alpenglow. And it does not descend between the building in New York for Manhattenhenge and illuminate the cabs and town cars. Out here, the monuments of earth and man are tucked away: the sun dips into the infinite horizon, the straightest thing I see all day.

So, when you come to Cisco in the evening, pass by the communion of sandals, and settle yourself on the beach, you witness one of the most mundane and monumental events of the day. On one hand, the sun is setting every second: somewhere across this great globe, the sun is dipping below the horizon. Nothing in the world is more ubiquitous than a sunset (other than a sunrise).

Yet, I don’t spend much time on the infinite, be it mathematical or otherwise. Always, something is in the offing, out there between the horizon and life. Roads, hills, buildings, and heavy brush clutters up the view. You spend an extra ten minutes in the grocery store, fifteen at the bank, and twenty on the phone, and then it gets dark fast. The infinite gets mucked up with bills, bodies, and balderdash. And it doesn’t matter. The infinite will always be there, that’s what it says on the label. And the infinite sunset will glow when the sandals, the beach towels, and myself have all been ground up into dust.

Out here on Cisco Beach, you can make time to clear everything from the offing and leave yourself clean, in the presence of geometry. The mathematics are brutal. Time dips second by second, degree by degree, into the glowing horizon. No word, no structure, no mountain will hold it back. The mathematics are also liberating. With the gradual inevitable, the planets and then stars emerge into the purpling dark. Venus, Jupiter, Sirius, the zodiac, and then, finally, the Milky Way. Nothing burns up problems and poetry like the application of geometry.

We keep time throughout the day, following the beat of clocks and cannonballs, but the slow creep of a sunset strips our clocks down to the primordial tick. Sunsets make time, so we have to make time for sunsets.

Yo-Yo Ma speaks about making time for culture. If you make time, you change the angle at which you look at life. If you make time, you can feel in charge. If you only keep time, or mark time, you are waltzing to someone else’s downbeat.

To be out at Cisco, in the gradual tick of time, is to stare down the well of infinity. On the stage of water, tides, moon, and stars, one island of human life (and their sandals) weighs about as much as the microscopic water bears that wash up on the sand.

The one part of a vacation that will reset your life are the hours when the sun sets and the Milky Way rises. If the leaky window in Tom Nevers and the lack of lemonade in the refrigerator still seem important after the galaxy appears out of the ocean, you may need to spend the night.

occasion, knowing that they are shopping sophisticated and elevated lines, and can enjoy the special opportunity to shop Veronica Beard this summer.

What has been most popular at Perch this summer? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lots of denim and lots of cashmere,â&#x20AC;? says Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell, with brands like Minnie Rose, Kule, and Duffy giving more casual looks an edge. Veronica Bear jeans are a must, with a variety of flattering cuts bearing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Secret Skinny Pocketsâ&#x20AC;? great for any season. Dresses have also been popular this summer: check out Zimmermann, Tanya Taylor, Camilla, and Alexis for a dress that will add a fabulous flair to your wardrobe. Heading into Fall, it is important to think about building a wardrobe that can easily transition between the seasons: a Veronica Beard Dickey Jacket is a staple that every woman needs in her wardrobe. The jackets come in different styles, textures, and fabrics but bear a unique transitional piece that will make them a standout in your wardrobe: an interchangeable â&#x20AC;&#x153;dickeyâ&#x20AC;? that can be switched out from day to day, outfit to outfit.

One of the most unique aspects of Perch is their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Curate Programâ&#x20AC;? that gives customers the ability to build a style profile based on style and color preferences and then have hand-selected items shipped to them. They can keep the items they love and return any items they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Customers love it,â&#x20AC;? says Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell, who finds that some of her shoppers are â&#x20AC;&#x153;starved for time.â&#x20AC;? The Curate Program takes the stress out of shopping and gives you a personal stylist to choose the best clothing options for you. She even goes so far as to cater to on-island clients, delivering to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sconset or Madaket when a client needs something for a last-minute engagement. Going above and beyond defines hospitality on Nantucket, and Perch is no exception, offering exceptional service to all customers and clients. Knowing that you have a reliable and professional sales associate who will help you look fabulous creates an important bond. From what Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell shares, their clients are incredible, â&#x20AC;&#x153;cross-sectionalâ&#x20AC;? even, visiting all three of her stores from Nantucket to Colorado to finding the perfect pieces to complete their wardrobe.

Long Pond species). This part of Long Pond is known for its sizeable snapping turtles, but many other creatures call it home; blue crabs, white perch, ribbed mussels, hickory shad, just to name a few.

From here, the edges of Long Pond are lined with non-native invasive Phragmites australis (common reed or Phragmites). These tall reeds block watershed views and physically alter the pond edge habitat. Phragmites can tolerate brackish conditions and can be habitat for nesting birds like the Redwinged Blackbird. The monoculture the Phragmites creates, however, leaves little room for anything else.

The Nantucket Pond coalition has facilitated several Phragmites management projects on the Long Pond watershed. The initial project was around Massasoit Bridge. The success of this project led to additional phases at White Goose Cove and at various points along Long Pond funded primarily by abutting homeowners.

Moving south away from the turtle bridge, Long Pond is bordered by the Nantucket Landfill to the east. To the west, a portion of the pond takes a sharp turn. Here, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Madaket Ditchâ&#x20AC;? begins, connecting Long Pond to Hither Creek and ultimately to Madaket Harbor. This ditch was first dug in 1665 as a cooperative agreement between the English settlers and the Wampanoag as a means of more efficient fishing for herring and eel spawning. This cooperation used the Wampanoag fishing weir, but people from both groups fished and shared the spoils.

The ditch and the connection to Madaket Harbor keep Long Pond brackish. This is the only ocean connection the pond has. The ditch runs through 50 acres of saltmarsh, which serve as a nutrient sink for the pond. The marsh intercepts an appreciable amount of nutrients before they reach the creek and the harbor. The ditch flushes four times a day with the tides. It is estimated that is takes 76 days for the whole of Long Pond to turn over completely via tidal exchange. continued on page 28

Beyond the ditch, Long Pond meanders south, narrowing and widening along the way. It is bordered to the east by the Nantucket Islands Land Bank.

The Massasoit Bridge crosses the pond at a narrow spot where it seems little more than a stream. Further south, the pond is bordered by the Nantucket Conservation Foundation on the southeast side and the Madaket Land Trust property on the north west side. Access to the pond at this end is best accomplished via Starbuck road off of Madaket road.

Overall, Long Pond benefits by the abundance of conservation land and open space directly bordering it. These lands mitigate for the potential high impact inputs of the development in other areas of Long Pond. These developments bring septic tanks and green lawns: all direct sources of nutrient loading to the pond. The other major potential impact is the Nantucket Landfill on the eastern shore. Capping and mining the landfill seem to have reduced nutrient loading into the pond from this source, but sampling by the Town continues.

To improve water quality, the Town of Nantucket (TON) recommends active land management aimed at decreasing nutrient quantity entering our ponds. The TON continues to annually sample water quality and sediment at various points of Long Pond, Hither Creek, and Madaket Harbor. It also recommends that homeowners follow the Best Management Practices for Fertilizer Use on Nantucket Island. These recommendations were put in place to help improve our water quality by reducing the loss of soil nutrients from excessive, incorrectly timed, or inappropriate fertilizers.

Another step in improving overall water quality is to maintain septic systems and replace when necessary, hooking up to TON sewer system when possible.

Finally, the TON is exploring the idea of eventually replacing the culverts throughout Long Pond to increase tidal flow and, therefore, flushing of the system.

On Collecting

by Gene Ingalls My role as curator of Fine Contemporary glass for The Gallery at Four India is a challenging and rewarding experience, but as a collector I am totally consumed. Collecting has been nothing short of a labor of love and has added joy beauty to my life.

Collecting for me and for so many others is a lifelong passion, it’s seeking out something that fascinates, stimulates your mind and senses and adds something special to your life.

Collecting fine contemporary glass for me began in the fall of 1998. Just by chance I was browsing in a gallery in Boston when I came upon a piece

by Toland Sand. It was just so beautiful and fascinating and radiated so much color and beauty I had to have it. That piece changed my life.

Most collectors will tell you that collecting is an evolution, you find beautiful pieces and sell beautiful pieces. It takes years for tastes and likes and continued on page 32

Featured Restaurant: Company of the Cauldron

The Legacy Continues

by Carl Oscar Olson Compared to the world outside, Nantucket has a way of moving slower through time. Change does visit here on occasion; it meanders when it does. Moseying down the dunes and over the cobblestones like a shadow, unnoticed. And sometimes when we finally look up to see, it’s too late.

Fields and forests are demolished and developed, long loved locales are knocked down, bought out, or boarded up.

Though there are some who keep pace with the march of time. Those who counter the gradual onslaught, the experienced and bold who brace for it, who hold tight to what they can until time moves on. Chef Joseph Keller is holding on to Nantucket and serving a new generation of diners while he does it.

Some would say a lot has changed since Keller first came to Nantucket, but not him: “The island is still the same, and so am I!” He was just 17 when Club Car named him sous chef, and from there he went on to be chef at Cliffside Beach Club and later the Woodbox. After leaving the island and opening the world famous French Laundry in California among many other ventures, Keller returned to Nantucket in 2017 and bought Company of the Cauldron.

“There was no negotiation,” he says. The restaurant was on the market for 2 years, and he knew right away it would be a good fit. Simply considering himself a custodian, he’s working for more than money.

He knows the island and cares for its people, and the respect he has for both is obvious.

Ivy creeps up the brick red facade of the India Street location, invoking the same mysterious drama as the deCroque Madame

lightfully dark interior. Take a walk through the kitchen and step outside to reveal tables in a lush secret garden, a surprise even to those of us who had dined here before.

We began brunch with a full-bodied French press, enough for all of us, and fabulously fresh Company Popovers. They arrive hot out of the oven with a shiny crust and light, airy interior. They’re perfect as they are, but get even better with butter and Grandma’s Raspberry Jam (cover photo).

Nothing says Sunday morning like mimosas, and Cauldron has you covered (cover photo). They have a few to choose from but we played it safe with some recommendations. The Watermelon Mimosa was pretty in pink and opaque, made with Nantucket Nectars strawberry watermelon, fresh fruit, and Champagne. Our favorite was the Company Mimosa: it gets its pinkish-amber hue from sparkling Rose and Sauternes, the velvety fortified wine mellowing the edge of this otherwise acidic libation.

Shaded by a tree considered big by Nantucket standards, we eagerly

awaited our plates to come from the kitchen. Chef Keller stands by his recipes at Cauldron—they are all tried and true and tested by time. He follows the freshness of his ingredients, so check back often to keep up with what’s new.

For those who like a more basic breakfast, the CroqueMadame is the dish for you.

It’s an egg sandwich elevated with Serrano ham and Gruyere between buttery brioche, served sunny-side up with a marvelous mornay sauce. The seasoning sticks to the fries on the side, which are perfect for Belgium Waffle cleaning the plate.

For the kids and the kid in all of us, the Belgium Waffle is your best bet. It’s plate-filling and powdered with sugar, featuring your favorite fresh berries. The real maple syrup is served warm, flowing freely into every facet and fold of this gorgeous golden standby.

The Maine Lobster and Maryland Lump Crab Au Gratin was a shellfish-lover’s dream. Served in a light cream sauce piping hot with parmesan, it was luscious, creamy, and complex. The large pieces of lobster and crab don’t get lost in the sauce, and a side salad made for the perfect pair.

Don’t be daunted by the size of the Quiche Lorraine: it’s creamy and rich but light as a feather with a golden brown crust and aroma that fills the air.

The filling changes regularly, and so does the dressing on the side salad.

Ours came clinging to a tangy dijon vinaigrette, seasoned so nicely Quiche Lorraine there was no need for salt and pepper.

Three succulent Jumbo Prawns (cover photo) share the plate with poached egg perfection atop Cheesy Grits, and every bite is a different experience. The seafood is tender and toothsome while the grits add luscious texture and taste, break the yolks to bring out the best in every component.

It takes more than three days to make our favorite Buttermilk Fried Chicken with Belgium Waffles. After brining for half a week, the meat takes on a fresher edge with a lift from lemongrass. It’s juicy beyond words with a golden crunchy crust to match the sugar-dusted waffles, and warm

maple syrup ties the two together. Keller recently added a second dinner seating on Wednesday evenings (Buttermilk Fried Chicken Night) to meet demand, so try it while you can.

Just when we thought we were finished, Chef Keller sent out his three brunch desserts for the day. All of the choices were Main Lobster and Maryland Lump Crab Au Gratin chocolate, and we were very happy about that. A classic Cupcake speaks for itself: light and fluffy, tall, dark, and delicious. A pair of Bouchons bring a darker, denser side to the finale, while a velvety smooth Chocolate Pudding contrasts with creaminess. All three were topped with a Chantilli whipped cream, coming with the complimentary flavor of real vanilla.

All the chocolate is sourced from Peru and made by Keller’s own chocolate company.

Known as extra virgin, the secret to K+M Chocolates is the use of olive oil.

It adds a lush and luxurious dimension to this dark delicacy.

As we reflected in the dappled shade on the perfect pace of our meal, we were already Chocolate Pudding, Cupcake, Bouchons making plans to come back. It’s hard to imagine a better, more relaxing end to the weekend and beginning to the week than brunch with Chef Keller at the Company of the Cauldron.

dislikes to grow and mature and solidify.

Glass objects are not inanimate objects without life, they grab, they pull you in, they excite mind and visual and tactile senses. Not a day goes by I don’t see something unique or different in one of my pieces be it in it’s form, composition, technique or color, texture. Often you see a completely different interpretation of a piece simply from changing light.

The origin of today’s fine contemporary glass is attributed to Glass Art by Toland Sand Harvey K. Littleton often called the father of contemporary glass. To own one of his pieces (which unfortunately I don’t) would be amazing.

My advice to any collector is to collect and buy what you love, what’s beautiful to you, what moves you when building your collection.

One of the most amazing things I experience when looking a piece of glass, is that this amazing thing of beauty began as silica sand. Then, when combined with various materials, manipulated by various techniques, manipulated by unique talent and applied imagination, you have ever changing symphony continually producing spectacular results.

As I build the glass collection at The Gallery at Four India, I’ve been selecting unique pieces for an eclectic selection of the best artists working today in a broad range of techniques. Many of these artists are represented in my private collection such as Toland Sand, Petr Stacho, Jiri Karel, Tomas Brzon, Timothy Stover, Andrej Jackab, and many others.

The Gallery at Four India Street is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm.

Leave only footprints...

Nantucket has some of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in the world. Please respect Nantucket’s fragile environment and the beauty of our island. Clean up your litter, respect private property, and use only designated entry points. In areas where dune reclaimation is taking place, please do not cross the rope or fence barriers protecting the dunes.

BEACH SAFETY •Learn to swim. If you can’t swim an overhead stroke for at least 15 minutes you should not be in the ocean. •Never swim alone. Always swim with a buddy, and swim near a lifeguard whenever possible. •Stay out of the “surf zone” where the waves break at the shoreline. Waves are at their greatest force here, and even a small wave can lift you up and throw you headfirst into the sand. •Never run from the beach into the water and dive headfirst into the waves. Sandbars that cannot be seen from the surface may be present and/or the water may be too shallow.

•Don’t jump or dive into the water from a pier or rock jetty. From a pier or jetty, water appears much deeper than it really is. What looks like 10 or 20 feet of water may only be 2 to 3 feet deep. Diving in could be fatal. The same applies for jumping headfirst into the ocean or a wave from a surfboard – don’t do it! It’s not a risk worth taking. •If you are body surfing or boogie boarding, always keep your arms out in front of you to protect your head and neck. •A rip current will pull you away from the shore, but it will not pull you under. If you’re caught in a rip current, do not swim toward the shore! Instead, swim parallel to the shore, until you’re out of the rip current. Then, swim in to shore. •Never drink alcohol or use drugs at the beach. It clouds your ability to make wise decisions, and that could be fatal! •Take direction from lifeguards at all times.
