A Woman of Vision

by Dr. Sarah Treanor Bois

FRENCH SOLE FALL 201

Director of Research & Education at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation On Tuesday, September 10, Linda Loring passed away at the age of 99.

An avid animal lover and land conservationist, her passing marks the end of an era. As the founder of the Linda Loring Nature Foundation, however, her legacy will continue.

I’m looking out my office window (a second story picture window which overlooks the LLNF property and Long Pond beyond) and thinking about Linda Loring’s legacy and what it means. Everything I am looking at (from Eel Point Road to the north head of Long Pond up to Madaket Road has been this way for centuries or longer. In so many other parts of New England and the rest of the country, conservation lands are about restoration...restoration from agricultural use and development—restoration of degraded, damaged, or destroyed ecosystems and habitats. Linda’s foresight led to the preservation of this landscape for the enjoyment of others just as it is: the beautiful, wild, windswept heathlands, shrublands, and grasslands that make up the Linda Loring Nature Foundation.

Beginning in 1957, Linda purchased land between Eel Point Road and Madaket Road, one parcel at a time. Eventually she managed to connect it into an impressive 270-acre contiguous tract. She would not sell or develop her vast open property, though many tried to persuade her. Loring's objective was to preserve her land and establish a foundation to help fulfill her dream of creating a nature center on Nantucket.

She started the process of creating the foundation which bears her name in 1999, when the Linda Loring Nature Foundation became a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. In 2007, the Nantucket Land Council purchased the conservation easement on the entire 270 acres on Eel Point Road. At that time,

THEATRE REVIEW

Raarre Deco Period

A Stunning Show with Electrifying Chemistry

Caarr vveed Baak kelite Bang glles some resin washed onllyy at M Maaddee on N Naanttu ucckket

by Catherine Macallister

IRELAND GALLERIES Artist Lorene Ireland

The Theatre Workshop of Nantucket has introduced yet another dynamic show to its repertoire this season. Terms of Endearment is striking from the moment you enter the dimly lit theatre: Bennett Hall transformed from its typical stage set up to “theatre in the round,” an intimate theatre experience that allows you to see the show from every side of the stage. Dan Gordon renders the story beautifully as you learn about relationships, love, and heartbreak during this adaptation.

Terms of Endearment tells the story of a mother Aurora Greenway and her daughter Emma, whose relationship plays out over the course of thirty years.

Aurora is feisty and strong-headed, apparent from the very first moments of the show when she wakes up her sleeping infant Emma, fearing that she has succumbed to crib death. As the play progresses, their relationship is a constant back-and-forth filled with bickering, moving, marriage, births, and eventually death. The push-and-pull between the two is never without love, though, an important piece of this emotional production. The two connect via phone, even when they are far away, sharing details about their lives, Aurora always certain to share her opinion playfully saying things like “You know how much I love having the last word.” Aurora disapproves of Emma’s husband “Flap,” from the beginning, and as she comes to terms with her daughter marrying and bearing his children, she also comes to terms with continued on page 12

View Life Through a Kaleidoscope

by Catherine Macallister Among the shelves, tables, and books in the Great Hall of the Nantucket Atheneum sits a man, pouring over the captain and ships logs of one of the many vessels that departed from Nantucket Harbor over the course of the prosperous whaling era. Peter Panchy is deciphering the loopy writing of the logs of Argo, a whaling ship that sailed from1808-1811. Panchy, a former Nantucket High School teacher is enjoying his retirement and pursuing his passion for history. In my research for various topics about the island I came across Panchy’s name several times, particularly in association with the Atheneum. Panchy’s lecture titles caught my attention first: “Misogyny and Topics in US Society Today,� “A Continuing Conversation on Immigration,� along with many other versatile topics addressing a wide range of issues.

During our meeting, I saw his passion for community, inspired conversations, and the impact he has had on the community since his arrival in the 1990s.

Panchy had never been to Nantucket before he came to teach here twenty-eight years ago. He grew up in Boston, the son of Albanian immigrants—a history that he had the chance to explore later in life. He won a scholarship to Philips Academy in Andover, a prestigious prep school before attending Harvard for undergrad. He later received his masters from Lesley University in Cambridge.

His dedication to serving the community, starting with its youngest members, began early on his career and has only continued to grow as he has moved through his life. Before coming to Nantucket, Panchy worked with a City of Cambridge, in Massachusetts from 1970-1975. He began first at WIC, or Women, Infants & Children’s Nutrition Program, a program that offers nutritional counseling, foods, and support to families in need. He believes in “equal opportunity from beginning,� explaining that a child’s outcome in life

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

September Fates

by Robert P. Barsanti The Fates were drinking wine. The 2:30 Hy-Line left Hyannis fully loaded with brides, guests, and consorts. Once out of the harbor, the swells came broadside at the ferry and rolled it in wind and spray across the Sound. The Fates sat outside, under baseball caps and near the end of the top deck. They got splashed, they got heaved, they got amused. The Fates were good sports, in good spirits, and of good age. Their hats lifted, flew, and were caught and returned. The eyes and smiles flashed, chasing the clouds away.

In September, the Fates smile on Nantucket and hold us in the palms of their hands. The young fill the boats, the streets, and the Box. They come with their friends, their dates, and their children. They have a schedule but no structure. The September sky glows, and the air cools, and the Father of the Bride smiles at the white folding chairs. In our September, there never was a cloudy day.

The ferry ride washes the ticking seconds away. Everyone has come back, and everyone is here for this one day. For the couple, in the May of their lives, the future beckons. For the parents, in their November, the past glows. But for the whole party, time steps back and lets this one weekend sit precious and still under the lapis sky. We are all together now. For a moment.

A wedding doesn’t only unify, it also separates. A wedding in September makes its own time, separate from the march from May to December. September removes all of the wedding guests from the ticking billable hours of the week and places them in our glowing timeless Saturday afternoon. The appointments and the classes stay in that Friday light of morning in Hyannis, while the Fates sail across to a weekend without their phones.

Rehearsal dinner comes on Friday, just as we see how well she has grown and how wonderful you look. Then, on Saturday morning, we sit at breakfast with as much water as we can drink, a baseball hat, and a plan for the day.

The plan has bikes in it or golf clubs or strollers or stores or cigars or spas before the event. The Fates will walk the bricks in “I’m with the Bride” t-shirts and sunglasses, not sure if they should really get that blouse, even if it is on sale.

In September, the ceremony can happen anywhere. The Fates may witness one on the eighteenth hole, at the beach in ‘Sconset, in the churches, at the hotels, or below the lighthouse. Wherever three people can stand, a voice can be heard, and fifty chairs can be set up, two people will declare that they knew love was here to stay.

We dress up and we pair up and we hope that he won’t get up and walk away in the middle of the ceremony when he gets bored with his Paw Patrol.

We remember other ceremonies in other Septembers, when the fog held off and it wasn’t too cold and Momma positively beamed. And we may hold hands at that one moment, and we may go back to that bedroom and think about how lucky we have been, all in all.

Then we dance to music from thirty-five years ago. We Twist and We Shout and We Get a Little Bit Softer Now before we get a Little Bit Louder Now. Someone will request and empty the floor with Uptown Funk until the Dancing Queen brings us all back. Then, in a moment, after a Rebel Yell, we continued on page 23

Upon arrival at the wedding reception, greeting guests with a fanciful signature cocktail that is symbolic of the bride and groom’s courtship is a perfect introduction to what lies ahead. The name of the drink may be in reference to where the couple first met—a Madaket Mystery perhaps, or where they plan to travel on their honeymoon. With tequila being the go-to spirit of choice these days, a refreshing Paloma cocktail is the perfect way to ease into a wedding reception. This easy to make drink is simply equal parts silver tequila, club soda, and grapefruit juice. Serve over rocks, squeeze the juice of half a lime, and drop it in as your garnish.

The key to success of this most beloved cocktail from Mexico is using quality ingredients. 123 Organic Tequila Blanco “Uno” is an excellent choice as your base. It is made by an artisan producer of organic tequilas, made from estate-grown lowland agaves northeast of Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico. This pure agave flavor is brilliant, bright, and clean drinking. It is also important to use the best-tasting mixers to complement the world's finest spirits. Enter Fever-Tree Club Soda, made from soft spring water with a high level of carbonation. While freshly squeezed juice is preferable, Tropicana Grapefruit juice in a smaller size is optimal in a pinch when you aren’t set up to make your own. The more limes the better in my opinion for the icing on the cake with this cocktail here!

SEASIDE SIPS A seaside wedding would not be complete without a never-ending rawbar.

Oysters on the half shell and littleneck clams are easily washed down with a sip of Michel Girault Sancerre “Cuvée Silex.” This limited production wine is 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the Sancerre region in the Loire Valley of France.

It is made by Michel and his two sons in their small family owned winery. Pale straw in color, the wine offers lovely notes of citrus fruits (think grapefruit, lime) and a touch of minerality on the nose. It is crisp and fresh on the palate, as refreshing as the ocean view itself. It will also pair with crab salad with endive and mango, goat cheese and vegetable tartlet, or corn chowder soup as appetizers.

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE No event on Nantucket is complete without offering pink wine, anytime of year. Love by Léoube hails from the classic rosé region of Côtes de Provence in France. This delicious, organic wine is made from a blend of Grenache and Cinsault that give it the pale salmon-pink color, and finished with a touch of Syrah and Mourvèdre to add some structure and length to the wine. This fruity, well-balanced, and generous wine will have you falling in love with it over and over again. Sunset never looked so good on Nantucket until you have a glass of this in hand to enjoy it with! continued on page 26

Vote for Your Favorite Artworks One of Nantucket’s most unique artistic exhibitions is the annual People’s Choice Exhibition, where patrons of the Cecilia Joyce & Seward Johnson will have the opportunity to view and vote for their favorite pieces by members of the Artists Association of Nantucket. “A long standing favorite among our patrons, the People’s Choice exhibition continues to showcase a wide array of styles and mediums, and this year should be no exception,” says AAN artistic director Robert Frazier. “There is no theme per say,” says Gallery Manager, Peter Greenhalgh, but many of the artists strive to bring their best pieces with the hopes of being awarded the coveted gold medallion for their work.

The voting is “open to everyone,” says Greenhalgh, adding, “traditionally they vote for two favorites.” Gallery staff will tally votes and gold medallions will be awarded to those artists who received the highest number of votes.

Typically six to eight works are chosen as winners and receive special recognition during the month-long exhibition. Patrons delight in seeing the “best and brightest work [of members of the Artists Association of Nantucket],” says Greenhalgh.

Artists participating in the exhibition can show one or two works which are typically split between the first and second floors. As visitors walk through the exhibition, they can vote for two favorites on ballot sheets provided by the gallery, making this a truly interactive experience. Voting takes place during the first week or so of the exhibition, so make sure to head on over and check out what this year’s artists have created.

In addition to the People’s Choice Exhibition, new AAN member, Zoe Markham will be the featured artist in the Solo Spotlight Show. Solo Spotlight Artists have the opportunity to share several selected works in a highlighted area of the gallery and Greenhalgh looks forward to sharing Markham’s work with the public, calling her a “very talented young woman.”

The Annual People’s Choice Exhibition opens Friday, September 27 from 6-8 pm in the Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery at 19 Washington Street. Voting is done during the first week of the exhibition during regular business hours, Monday-Saturday 10am-5pm, with a brief closing from 22:30 pm. The exhibition continues through October 21.

Linda donated an initial 5 acres to create the foundation's property. The foundation officially became operational in 2007, with the hiring of Kitty Pochman as executive director. Since that time, the property has increased in size from 5 acres to 108 acres, including additional gifts of land from Linda Loring and an 18-acre tract generously donated to LLNF in 2017 by the Nature Conservancy.

Linda’s passion for the land didn’t stop at the sandplain grasslands, vernal pools, and rolling hills of the land she preserved. Her love of wildlife is legend. No hunting signs dot the landscape as she had a well-known affinity for our local deer herds. Her namesake foundation is considered a wildlife preserve: prioritizing the well-being and conservation of wildlife and their habitats. As such, hunting is prohibited and no horses or dogs are permitted along the trails as these domesticated animals can cause disturbance to native wildlife.

Even though her love for wildlife led her to create the LLNF as a wildlife sanctuary, her primary goal had always been about education and connecting people, especially children, to nature. She envisioned the Eel Point Road property as an outdoor classroom where people of all ages could come and learn about the environment of Nantucket or simply immerse themselves in quiet enjoyment of the natural world.

Since its inception, the focus of the LLNF has been education. Staff work continued on page 11

to connect people of all ages and background to nature. Over the years, the breadth and depth of the organization has been expanded and now focuses on three main areas of work: Ecological Research, Environmental Education, and Land Stewardship.

The landscapes found at the LLNF include the globally rare sandplain grassland and heathland communities which are home to a number of species listed by the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program. There are vernal pools, shrub swamps, and pine forests. Ground nesting birds such as Northern Harriers and Eastern Towhees nest every year.

The Osprey pole is visible from the main office and is monitored by staff and visitors every season for hatch and fledgling success. Hundreds of schoolchildren come through on field trips, nature walks, and other science programming. Vistas of Long Pond and the various wading ducks can be seen from the LLNF offices as well as along the walking trail.

Today the LLNF boasts a research and education program preserving the landscape as a “Living Laboratory� for all ages to enjoy. The property is open to the public (sunup to sundown) and boasts a walking trail with a short and long loop. Programming carries on for all ages, continuing Linda Loring’s original vision of opening the natural world for all to enjoy and explore.

LLNF staff members work to maintain the land, to keep the invasive species at bay, and keep the trails mowed. But it is Linda Loring we have to thank for allowing us, as conservationists, to start with a pristine landscape.

She recognized the unique beauty of these wild lands and the potential danger they were in from development.

We now carry on Linda’s vision and passion for the land as best we can.

This fall, when all six kindergarten classes from the Nantucket Public School come to LLNF (as they do every year) to immerse themselves in the nature that Linda preserved, I hope she will be proud of the wonder that she helped to create.

How can you enjoy this gem of a Nantucket property? Head out to 110 eel Point Road. There is a large parking lot, a kiosk at the head of the trail with maps and information, and an office that has bathroom facilities and a place to fill up water bottles. See all of the programming available at llnf.org.

And please join the staff and Loring’s many island friends and fans for a celebration of her life, being planning for spring/summer 2020 on Nantucket.

the dreaded thought of becoming a grandmother, something she cannot believe she is old enough to be: a humorous moment that the audience enjoyed.

Emma shares in some of her mother’s traits, claiming from the beginning, “I am possible, I’m very possible,” which proves to be something that is tested throughout the ups and downs of her life. When Emma moved away, Aurora is alone, having lost her husband 10 years prior in the show. She finds herself drawn the her astronaut neighbor, Garrett Breedlove, a sort of celebrity playboy whose successful orbit and landing on the moon have led to lifelong fame. Despite keeping tabs on “the astronaut,” via binoculars, Aurora, stubborn as ever, waits five years before taking Breedlove up on an offer of a lunch date and eventually finds herself in his arms. As Emma and Flap’s relationship deteriorates due to infidelity, a horrible health realization comes into play and suddenly there is a time limit on life, and on the daily phone calls that Aurora and Emma share.

The cast for this show is stunning, undergoing a lifetime of emotional moments in a quick eighty-five minute performance that will leave you in awe of their talent. Ellie Gottwald, who plays Aurora, captures the essence of a mother who is stubborn and reluctant but nonetheless supportive of her daughter. Audiences appreciate her dry humor and unexpected colorful commentary during her highest and lowest emotional moments. Brooke Sweeney as Emma is delightful and strong. Her energy and ability to portray Emma even during the toughest emotional moments is impressive, and she leaves the audience in tears during the final scene of the show. John Shea as Garrett Breedlove, is no stranger to the stage and the audience will appreciate the perfect delivery of Garrett Breedlove: a crass yet somehow endearing astronaut who shows his softer side when he’s not cracking jokes like, “I don’t want to lie to about the fact that I’m going to lie to you.” Flap, played by Dakota Dutcher shines in his moments on stage, redeeming his character towards the end of the show when he is most needed by Emma. John Devaney and Leise Crew Trueblood each play a handful of roles, fitting well into this small cast that packs a big punch.

The chemistry between all of the actors is what makes this show particularly wonderful and authentic. The friendship between Emma (Sweeney) and Patsy (Trueblood) feels real as they sit on Emma’s floor listening to records and smoking pot before Emma’s wedding, then as adult women reconnecting after several years apart. The relationship between Aurora continued on page 19

A Stunning Show from page 12

(Gottwald) and Garrett (Shea) is realistic and passionate with humor and, sometimes, regret woven through it. Even the shorter exchanges, such as the terse back-and-forth of Aurora and Flap (Dutcher) or the humorous and threatening debate of Aurora and Garrett versus Dr. Maise (Devaney), showcase the electrifying chemistry of this cast.

Terms of Endearment is made even more brilliant by the creative team behind it. Director Justin Cerne has not only cast well, but the direction of the actors especially in the unique style of theatre-in-the-round make the story more moving. One particularly heartfelt moment is a phone call between Aurora and Emma when they learn of bad news that changes the course of the characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. The two actresses face one another for the first time in their phone exchanges, seemingly sharing the same room while being miles apart.

This is just one example of the effectiveness of how the stage space was utilized to create dramatic moments.

The individual lights that hang above the stage bring through the soft lighting effects of lighting designer Stephen Petrilli beautifully. Peter Waldron, the scenic designer and technical designer, has created a space that easily transforms from one setting to the next, made more creative through the screens in each corner of the stage that help to distinguish certain places: a Renoir for Auroraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room, a pool for Breedloveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. The audience will appreciate the costuming and prop details of Annie Breeding and Casey Boukus and the powerful sound choices of sound designer Sean Ramos, which all contribute to the overall effect of the show.

Terms of Endearment is not to be missed at the Theatre Workshop of Nantucket: it is poignant and beautiful with a cast and crew that tell the story in such a magnificent way that it will leave you in tears by the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end. This show runs through October 5 at 62 Centre Street, in Bennett Hall. To purchase tickets visit theatrenantucket.org or call 508-228-4305.

is dependent on the formative years where nutrition is key. The program “addresses the needs and conditions that place people who are less affluent,” he says and provides “the basic necessities.” Ultimately, the program aims to provide children in the earliest stages of their life, a chance to reach the same goals, especially when there is a financial or nutritional is need involved.

Panchy helped to bring this program to several states.

Panchy’s continued commitment to the people around him didn’t stop when he reached Nantucket: “I love this community,” he explained, “I went from complete ignorance…to love for this island.” Panchy became an integral part of the school system on island, working as a special education teacher, a history teacher, and even serving as principal of NHS from 1996-1999. He worked for the Nantucket Public Schools for 28 years before retiring from full time teaching in 2014 and part-time teaching in 2018.

It is evident that Panchy had an effect on his students and cared about their work. With adolescents there is a “sense of emerging…of energy,” says Panchy, pointing out why he eventually chose to stick with teaching US History for the last several years of his career. For Panchy, it was about encouraging this “energy” to be used towards positive change and preparedness for real life issues. I asked Panchy if he recalled any particularly sharp “teachable” moments over the course of his career, his answer “every moment is a teachable moment.” He notes, “They are all the time…each year you use what presents itself—any event at the school or large in the community—like September 11,” adding “everything connects.” Panchy’s approach broadens the mind, asking students to look at history but also asking then to look at what is happening in the community, an important skill for students who will take on larger community roles as adults.

Panchy took a sabbatical from teaching at Nantucket High School for a year from 2005-2006. He and his family traveled to his parents’ home country of Albania, where Panchy taught at the University of New York in Albania.

“It was a wonderful year of teaching,“ he says, it was an opportunity “to live continued on page 21

in the country my parents were from.” While there, he attempted to “recapture Albanian language” and also had the chance to trace his family back to a “little village in the mountains.” This experience and Panchy’s ability to become a part of Albania and their educational system shows his commitment to being an educator and to connecting to a greater global community.

One of Panchy’s favorite aspects of his career, besides mentoring and teaching, has been the opportunity to participate in development programs.

Panchy participated in the Teaching American History Grant Program, working with Dr. Peter Gibbon, a professor and researcher from Boston University.

The program was “really exciting…newest cutting edge in US History…it was the best professional development that I’ve participated in.” It required work on weekends and summers from 2010-2016, but he had the opportunity to meet authors and learn new techniques through coursework: “It was dynamite.”

At the forefront of Peter Panchy’s retirement are his wife, children, and nine grandchildren. When retired from teaching, it seemed to only make sense that Panchy would find himself a part of a long-lasting island institution, The Nantucket Atheneum. “I love the Atheneum,“ he commented, “it’s such a wonderful asset to our community.” Outgoing Executive Director, Molly Anderson worked with Panchy to set up more lectures with the Atheneum and got him started on the Argo ship log project, transcribing the exact written words so that researchers can easily access the log.

Panchy truly seems to enjoy his work, especially his opportunities to engage with the community during his lectures. They are “lectures,” but Panchy thinks of them as a discussions led by questions and ideas that are brought up by participants based on a general topic. He begins many by asking “What would you like to talk about?” Panchy believes in the idea of community education and uses the lecture as a platform for “historical facts, their opinions, and” he adds with a chuckle “my own opinions.” The most important take away is that the lectures are supported by facts and history. “We no longer talk to one and other, “ he says, everyone is “so polarized...they believe they’re right…why listen to others?” His discussions often get right to the root of problems going on locally, nationally, and globally, and the civic duties we should expect. Speaking to society as a whole, Panchy says “We’ve gotten worse…lost a sense of duty,” speaking to the importance of community and continued on page 22

being “informed to participate.” In some ways it is “my way of working out issues” says Panchy with a laugh, but he is also keen to point out that his topics are “spurred by threats to the democracy.” Panchy encourages community interactions, “if we can get people together,” he says, we can have a “more vibrant community.”

Even in his retirement, Panchy continues impact the community, bringing members together through active participation and listening. A lot of what Panchy hopes to accomplish in his community discussions, applies to the larger US community as well. “There’s been a twenty-year deadlock in Congress,” he says, and we need to “talk and compromise.” Panchy told of a recent lecture discussing misogyny and the clash of opinions among participants—he was speaking from a historical and factual point of view, but still opened the floor to participants to share their opinions. Despite these “clashes,” his sessions are, most importantly, a conversation. With Panchy there are no limits on discussion, “once we limit what people can talk about, we limit our ability to unify,” he explained. Panchy is spirited in his speech, and his lectures undoubtedly draw those who will both agree and disagree on certain points: which seems to be the entire goal of the lectures. He offers an outlet for discussion, informed opinions, and maybe even some new information for those who attend.

A teacher, an historian, a principal, an orator, a father, a husband, and a member of the island community, Peter Panchy uses his experiences and expertise to draw connections between history and the current social, political, and emotional climate to enrich Nantucket. When I asked him how he viewed the world he said “History and our lives are greatly determined by perspective and examining a life or past events…like looking through a kaleidoscope, making that little turn, to change what you see.” I, for one, hope that we never stop making those adjustments to broaden our horizons and bring communities at home and abroad, closer together.

Join Peter Panchy on Wednesday September 25 from 6 to 7pm in the Great Hall, when he will lecture and open a discussion on “Threats to Democracy.”

September Fates from page 7

Moondance until it’s time to Shut Up and Dance. The Fates dance only with each other, they shimmy, they frug, and they bump. But they never do the Chicken Dance. Never.

After the lights come up, we go to the Box and we dance more, drink more, laugh more until it’s one o’clock and there is nowhere else to go other than the beach or the bed, and we remember when we knew love was here to stay.

On Sunday, the Fates wake to a ferry horn. The tides will pull us apart and sweep us to different states and countries. We drink coffee and we promise and we take pictures and we fold the t-shirts up before we say our goodbyes and sail back into our calendars and our phones. The Fates dawdle with their bloodies in that timeless Sunday September bubble before heading back to Brooklyn.

Cool and golden, September remains a fixed point in time. Framed and under glass, we see that the cousins came from California and Henry was so small and Homer looked so cute in his little suit and we didn’t know Ginny was sick then, although Momma said she knew. We still have that dress and we ruined our shoes and we loved those hydrangea outside the chapel on that September day when the Fates had pulled us out of our lives and set us out here, out on this sandbar in the perfect weather. And in that eternal moment, I was holding hands with your heart December is coming, and then another December, and yet another after that. The ferry will pitch and roll through the weeks and months; we are always broadside to a rising sea. The dancers in the wedding party will step back and rest in the still background. The ring bearer will sing his own songs and the flower girl will stand stout in defense and the bills and the checks will churn will ebb and flow. On some nights, however, we remember dancing in September, when the stars stole the night away.

Featured Restaurant: Black-Eyed Susan’s Small Restaurant with a Big Personality

We savor September on Nantucket for the warm and sunny days, for the cool, crisp evenings, and for the ability to finally get a table at Black-Eyed Susan’s.

This popular eatery in the heart of Nantucket Town has been a favorite among locals and visitors for about a quarter-century. Co-owners Susan Handy and Jeff Worster have kept their small restaurant with big personality a vibrant place to dine. Executive Chef Worster’s wellspring of creativity is executed by Chef de Cuisine Todd Edwards in the restaurant’s open kitchen, where guests who score a seat at the counter can watch the show. Culinary creations at Black-Eyed Susan’s combine the exotic and unusual with familiar ingredients in inspired preparations that sometimes stir old memories and sometimes make new ones.

In all the years we’ve dined at Black-Eyed Susan’s, we can count on one hand the dishes we’ve seen repeated. Three of them are the signature plates that Worster and Handy could not remove from their menu without a patrons’ revolt: Whole Leaf Caesar Salad with asiago cheese, Capellini with

tomato, basil, and garlic, and Linguini with Wellfleet Quahogs. All three are available in both half and full portions, so they can start your meal or be your meal. Black-Eyed Susan’s is BYOB, so bring something chilled and sparkling with you, and the waitstaff will be happy to pop the cork and pour.

We started our meal last week the way we always do: with an order of Sourdough Bread and whipped butter. Warm and crusty with soft and tangy crumb, it’s the perfect backdrop for the international flavors to come.

If you want a light, fresh, and healthy starter, order the Mixed Local Greens. The tender leaves are tossed with crumbles of ricotta salata and chopped roasted almonds in a red-wine plum vinaigrette, and fresh plums add a juicy sweetness to the salad.

Just as fresh tasting and summery but with three kinds of crunch is the Crisp Carrot and Napa Cabbage Salad. Chopped cabbage, shredded carrot, and puffed rice are combined with distinct flavors of garlic, Thai herbs, and a kaffir lime-coconut dressing. Cool and beachy with a kaleidoscope of sweet-sour flavors, this salad has a tasty undercurrent of heat.

Very different and a vegetarian delight is the Garlic Chili Broccoli Rabe.

There’s a pleasantly bitter taste to the greens that is smoothed out by a satiny pistachio cream. A squirt of lemon brightens the dish, and pomegranate seeds coated in sesame and cumin add fun pops of juicy, crunchy flavor.

Our favorite starter this trip to Black-Eyed Susan’s is the appetizer they call Smoked Local Cod Pate. The lush, creamy pate is well-seasoned and mounded on a golden brown and crunchy rectangle shaped from creole seasoned hash browns—a delicious contrast in texture and taste. Pickled red onion on top gives the dish a puckery lift and jalapeño remoulade underneath adds just a spark of heat.

Entrees at Black-Eyed Susan’s are playful and experimental and very good.

We started with the Berbere Marinated Chicken, a canvas on which a mix of African spices paints a delectable masterwork. Crisp skin covers the succulent meat that is stacked and nestled in the creamy subtly of parsley potato puree. Spiced cashew crumble adds hints of sweet and a soft crunch, while a Moroccan olive vinaigrette is the punchy sauce.

Simple and satisfying best describe the Szechuan Lamb Noodles. Prepared with ground lamb and plenty of garlic, chili, and scallion, the dish is fragrant and intense. This stir-fry does not have the fiery spice this style of cuisine is known for, but it has heat on the finish that builds with every bite.

We were happy for the tender noodles to cut the heat without stealing the spotlight.

Grilled Wester Ross Salmon entree is named for the salmon farm in Scotland where they hand-feed the fish and use only the best organic aquaculture practices. Firm and delicious, the filet is perfectly cooked: crisped top and bottom and rare in the center. A smoked green chili sauce adds deep flavor with just the right amount of spice, and we love the squiggle of sweet corn crema served overtop. Even the cumin-scented fried yucca cubes deserve high praise in this dish of Southwestern flair.

Very different from the salmon but every bit as good is the Panko Fried Hamachi. Moist and flavorful, the thick fish is enveloped in a deliciously crunchy cloak and set in a pool of Japanese black curry. Snow peas, chopped and sauteed with butternut squash, add whispers of sweetness to the curry.

Chilled wedges of diakon radish add a mild, peppery bite.

We love the rich, deep, dark, dense chocolate Pot de Creme that, served with their freshly baked coconut macaroon and macadamia and white chocolate chip cookie, is a staple dessert at Black-Eyed Susan’s. But even better is their Gelato with Grilled Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla. The gelato flavors are at the whim of the chef and often unexpected—one week in April, they featured a gelato of sweet pea, ginger, and toasted sesame. This week it was banana-coffee-pecan-caramel, with a taste reminiscent of tiramisu. No matter what the featured flavor, the house-made gelato is superb folded into pieces torn from the charred and sweetened flour tortilla.

Savor September (and October) at Black-Eyed Susans!

Blissful Beverages from page 8

NANTUCKET RED When choosing what wine to serve with your main course on Nantucket, it is important to consider what red will pair best with locally caught tuna, fresh lobsters, or perhaps halibut. Think of your wine choice kind of like your pants, with the color of the traditional Nantucket RedsTM from Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Toggery shop as your guide. This leads us to a wine that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overpower the day. Jessiaume Santenay 1er Cru â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gravieres Rougeâ&#x20AC;? is a lovely red Burgundy from France that is made from 100% Pinot Noir. While Beaune, the capital city of Burgundy, is the sister city to Nantucket, the small village of Santenay is located in its outskirts in the CĂ´te de Beaune area. The nose has notes of red and black fruits, with a hint of spice. In the mouth, the wine has silky tannins and flavors of dark cherry, coriander, and orange clove. The structure of the wine pairs well with an assortment of seafood options, as well as being hearty enough to stand up to a perfectly cooked filet as well.

BUBBLY OCCASION A question frequently asked in regards to the joyous festivities of a marital union is whether or not to have a Champagne toast. The purpose of the toast is for the bridal party to extend their well wishes to the new couple and show their support for their union. However, believe it or not, not everyone likes bubbly (gasp!). While you could cut costs by serving Prosecco, a sparkling wine from Italy, or Cava, a bubbly option from Spain, nothing beats the real deal: Champagne from France. In order to make the most of your bubbly without going over budget, consider serving wine from a not-as-well-known small grower producer that will provide a better quality bubble at a fraction of the price of more branded selections.

Champagne Gonet-Medeville Brut Tradition 1er Cru is just the answer for you. Julie and Xavier Gonet-MĂŠdeville are, in many ways, the first couple of French wines. Julieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family is famous for its wines from Bordeaux, and Xavier comes from a long line of Champagne growers in Le Mesnil. They actually met at a wine trade show in France, and the rest is history. This Champagne is made from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from organically farmed vineyards. The resulting product is very elegant, delicate, festive, and easy to drink.

However you choose to celebrate your nuptials on Nantucket, may your troubles be less and your blessings be more, and nothing but happiness come through your door. Cheers to that!

Enjoy a Complimentary Tasting!
