Always in the Back of Our Minds

Faux Fur from

by Catherine Macallister What first caught my eye when I began to learn about the Harvey Foundation was an ad: A woman running on a foggy day, her race number pinned to the front of her shirt, making the sign of a heart as she ran by the camera. In a single photo, the Harvey Foundation captured not only their impact on the community but the love that is felt by the Nantucket community for the amazing family behind the foundation.

Before the official founding of the Harvey Foundation, a scholarship fund and the Run for Robin was organized after the passing of beloved community member, Robin Harvey, who died after being struck by a car on Nantucket while training for the Boston Marathon. In an effort to bring the community together in a positive and healthy way, the family began a scholarship in Robin’s honor: “We started really small, with a scholarship…the Robin Harvey Athletic Scholarship,” explained Adriene Lombardi, founder of the Harvey Foundation and one of Robin Harvey’s daughters. Every year, a golf tournament is held to raise funds for the scholarships given to graduating seniors. So far, The Harvey Foundation has given about $75,000 in scholarship money— an impressive feat that not only honors Robin’s memory, but also provides Nantucket students with support as they continue their educations.

From the scholarship fund came the Run for Robin and now the Harvey Foundation: “I wanted to make something more…and had a non-profit in the back of my head,” says Lombardi. Lombardi credits the Nantucket Community Foundation for helping her follow through with her vision to make the Harvey Foundation a nonprofit, while allowing her “to keep it close, and do it on our own terms as a family.” Lombardi, a seventh grade English teacher at Nantucket’s Cyrus Pierce Middle School, had limited experience with the inner workings of a non-profit when she first began; now she operates with a Board of Directors and a group of volunteers who have helped to create and run the continued on page 10

Island Arts Festival

by Kathleen A. Duncombe, Jeweler

From Friday October 4 to Sunday October 13, Nantucket will celebrate the ample artistic, music, and cultural talents that are part of our island during the 25th annual Nantucket Arts Festival. The Nantucket Arts Council produces the event every year and is the island’s leading arts advocacy organization since 1973.

Festivities begin Friday, October 4 at 6:30pm in the United Methodist Church with local jazz group Trio à la Française performing before the opening reception of the festival’s themed visual arts exhibit, Re-Imagining the Real: Shifting Our World View. This exhibit displays work by artists who may have not had opportunities to show their work previously in island galleries and will be open to the public daily throughout the Nantucket Arts Festival.

A special exhibit of recent paintings by residents of Our Island Home who take part in art classes taught by island artist and teacher Kathleen A. Duncombe will be on display throughout the festival in the Greenhound Building on Washington Street, just one block off Main Street.

Other Arts Fest highlights include the Manhattan Short Film Festival at the Nantucket Atheneum that will screen selected short movies on Friday, October 4 from 7-9pm. Check out Nantucket’s own Shorts Festival showing two hours of short films made by local amateur and professional filmmakers on Saturday, October 12 in the Nantucket Dreamland at 4pm. Tickets can be purchased at nantucketdreamland.org.

Short concerts, talks, readings, dance and theatre performances, will be held every day during Arts Fest: check the Calendar in this publication for locations, dates, and times.

A festival favorite, The 28th Annual Organ Crawl, takes place on Saturday October 12, beginning at 9:15 am in St Mary’s Church at 3 Federal Street and ending at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church at 20 Fair Street. The “crawl” is five miniconcerts in five different churches, coordinated so that festivalgoers can attend one or all of the concerts. “It’s a really unique experience,” says Todd Richard, Operations Manager at the Nantucket Community Music Center, where the

Colors of Fall

2-HOUR GUIDED WILDERNESS HIKES

Director of Research & Education at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation The crisp change in the air happened recently and the heat and humidity have finally broken on Nantucket. We are in the golden months of fall where the days can still have a summer quality—warm enough for boating, biking, fishing, and even a swim – while the nights are cool making sleeping easier.

Those of us fortunate enough to still be on-island this time of year are relishing the kids being in school, the diminished traffic, and the beautiful fall colors. While we generally think reds and oranges in New England, there is truly a rainbow to behold in nature on Nantucket. Get out and enjoy it before this rainbow of autumn color gives way to the browns and white of winter.

Red – Black Huckleberry (Gaylusacchia baccata), is one of the first native shrubs to show fall colors. Even in September, the yellowish-green leaves begin to transition to a bright red. As a dominant shrub of the heathlands of Nantucket, there is plenty to be seen across the landscape. Driving along Milestone Road, the bright red leaves of Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) and Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) can be seen climbing up the pine trees lining the State Forest...the one time these evergreens get to “dress up.�

Orange – Monarch butterflies abound this time of year as they emerge from their chrysalises readying themselves for their journey south. Early October is a great time to witness gatherings of monarchs in Madaket as they set off west from the island before going south. Take a walk in the Nantucket Land Bank’s Smooth Hummocks Coastal Preserve. The monarchs are busy bulking up on nectar for their long journey. You’ll see them flitting from flower to flower. They are particularly abundant on goldenrods.

Yellow – The goldenrods of late summer and early fall are not to be beat in New England. Nantucket boasts some 15 species of goldenrods. They range in shape from the flattopped flowers of the Grass-leaved Goldenrod (Euthamia caroliniana) to the showy spikes of the Canada and Elliot’s Goldenrods (Solidago canadensis and Solidago latissimifolia). The Seaside Goldenrod (Solidago sempervirens) is a showstopper with a nodding, golden plume like a wand across

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

Celebrating the Cranberry Harvest

by Catherine Macallister One of the most highly anticipated events of the Fall is just around the corner.

The Nantucket Cranberry Festival is celebrating its 16th year at Milestone Cranberry Bog, where you can learn all about organic cranberries and how they’re harvested.

“People come to Nantucket specifically for the Cranberry Festivals,” says Grace Hull, Director of Marketing and Communications at the Nantucket Conservation Foundation, adding that the festival is “about celebrating the cranberry harvest,” with food, fun, and games.

Head down to Milestone Bog on Saturday, October 12, where cranberries have been cultivated since 1857 across 50 acres of land. The bog is the oldest continually operated farm on-island and The Nantucket Conservation Foundation is the largest certified organic cranberry grower in the United States. The Larrabee Family has been managing cranberries for the last three generations. The Nantucket Conservation Foundation works to preserve the history of Nantucket by “…permanently conserving, maintaining, and managing natural areas and habitats and to encourage an appreciation of and interest in the Island’s natural resources.” Additionally, the Foundation works to preserve the surround wetlands and forests of the bogs, so keep your eyes peeled for the wildlife that may be around for the festival.

Starting at 11 am, head over to Milestone Cranberry Bog off of Milestone Road. You can be a part of the harvesting action through the interactive cranberry bog experience, where you can throw on waders and head into the bog.

You can learn all about how they harvest cranberries at the bog and go on 20-minute self-guided tours. Two cranberry experts will be available to answer any questions and share fun facts like: Did you know that cranberries are almost 90% water?

This festival is family-friendly, with sack races, face painting, and tugs-owar, as well as a ropewalk bridge put together by the Scouts of America.

Local music group 4 EZ Payments will entertain and performances by Nanpuppets and a visit from Barnaby Bear are also on the docket for the day.

Tasty treats will be available for purchase from a variety of island restaurants, everything from bbq to cranberry treats. Additionally, fresh organic cranberries will be available for purchase.

Admission to the Cranberry Festival is free, with parking costing just $20 per car. Ultimately, the Festival is “about community outreach,” says Hull, who is looking forward to the event. The Cranberry Festival is one day only on Saturday, October 12, 2019 from 11am to 4pm. Join the Nantucket Conservation Foundation at Milestone Bog to celebrate the cranberry and its rich agricultural history on the island.

The land forgets.

It will forget the children that ran on it. It will forget the builders who put up the summer house. It will forget the golfers driving over the rise and watching their balls roll down the fifth fairway. Eventually, even, it will forget the golf balls lost in the scrub pine and brush. The land forgot the Wisconsin Glacier, the Wampanoag hunters, the farmers, the fishermen, and the lifesavers.

The ocean forgets the land.

In October, people are leaving. They leave for the winter, they leave for a job, they leave for school. But they leave, time twists around on itself, and they are flung into a more solid life of rock and oak. They won’t forget.

I sat on the gadgetless grass under a blue Sunday sky, at the edge of the bluffs. Sometime back in the 1880s, when ‘Sconset Bluff was the edge of a farm, 25 yards of it skidded into the Atlantic. Should that happen this winter, Baxter Road, a dozen houses, and four file cabinets of legal filings would be forgotten in a rolling brown surf. Amid Instagram videos, Jim Cantore live shots, and artisanal debris washed up on Low Beach, the island will remain.

These days, when I come out here, I look west, over the golf course, the moors, and to the spires of town. The land is written in pencil, not pen. It gets erased, reconsidered, and redrawn before it is erased again. Even in my small time, this view has grown houses, deep forests of scrub oak and pine, and sand roads. The edges are sketched rough and gray, the few lines bend and warp.

The golfers have dwindled as the days have shortened. A foursome in two carts have paused at the fifth tee, hit their shots, and are rolling under the sunshine. They zip across the grass like deer, dart in and out of the high grass, pause for a moment, and then move on. I have loved the purposelessness of golf. Golf adheres to the laws of physics, but also to the rules of old men. The white balls rise, fall, and roll, but everything else seems created in a treehouse.

What if I hit 2 balls? What if I just kick the ball around? What if I don’t hit any?

The true rules of golf are the rules of consideration. At this time of year, we know each other and we are known. I do not want to leave this stretch of grass, this hole, in worse shape than when I found it from the gang in front of me. I will replace my divots, I won’t hit into people, and I will place the rake in such a way so that it might stop an errant shot from going into the sand. My amusement will not hinder your amusement. Cooperation is encouraged. I will look for your lost golf ball, I will tend the flag so you can putt, I will retrieve your sand wedge from the green side bunker on the second hole. If at the end of the day, I have won or lost a dollar, what does it matter? In this fleeting now on the forgetting land, the bright October day could be worse spent than together on a golf course.

The island reveals itself in October. The leaves fall, the moors redden, and the beaches empty. Without the shrouds of leaves and the late summer sun, our lit windows entertain the street. The crowds no longer hide us; we can no longer shop happily. It is Just Us. We look for our living in the common world, and we need stock-boys, dishwashers, and house cleaners.

Who we are cannot be separated from where we are from. We are the golfers on the land that will forget us, beside an incomprehensible ocean. We live in the flash, in the moment of grace given to dry sand. Unlike those from hills and mountains, we have seen the world dissolve into water or get bought and broken by dollars. To us, the permanence blows wet and cold. continued on page 29

Fresh Festivities with Sustainable Nantucket

by Catherine Macallister How important is it to know where your food comes from and who made it? Sustainable Nantucket is a local non-profit organization dedicated to growing sustainable foods on Nantucket through a number of community programs. They operate under the mission: “To preserve the community character of Nantucket while sustaining its economic and environmental vitality.”

They have been a part of the Nantucket community for nearly two decades, shifting towards more of an agricultural focus about six years ago. Their popular Farmer and Artisan’s market has been a Saturday morning staple for the last 12 years and they work with people of all ages, including youngsters in their Farm to School Program. Diverse programming and a commitment to creating a sustainable food source program on island has propelled them to host popular events such as the NantucketGrown™ Food Festival.

The NantucketGrown™ Food Festival is in its fourth year and runs Friday through Sunday, October 18 to 20. It is three days of events that perfectly capture what it means to be part of sustainably-sourced foods on Nantucket, whether you are a grower, a chef, or a consumer. This year’s events start with an opening reception at the Nantucket Yacht Club and close with a Brunch Throw Down at Proprietors Bar + Table. A number of top chefs and growers will be presenting at ticketed and non-ticketed events. Participants will get to sample food and drinks from places like Cisco Brewery, The Beet, and 5th Bend Oysters as well as more than ten local restaurants. It is a “celebration of the locally grown food movement on Nantucket,” says LeAnne Richard, the Office Administrator and Development Associate for Sustainable Nantucket. Marketing Manager, Cavel Mattison adds that the festival is “about preserving the seasons bounty.” She also hopes that visitors and residents will have the chance to “sip, savor, and explore” the local culinary and growing scene on Nantucket.

Harvey Foundation. They reach out in the community as “needs pop up,� adjusting where needed to best address what the community requires. “It’s all about community,� Lombardi emphasizes, something that is especially clear under their mission: “to empower and assist the pathfinders of education, athletics, and community service.�

The fifth annual Run for Robin will be held on November 3, 2019—this is the biggest event that the Harvey Foundation organizes. This year’s run is at a new location: the run will start at the ‘Sconset Casino, go out to Sankaty Lighthouse, and return to the Casino. The funds raised help to power the other programs that the Harvey Foundation focuses on throughout the year. Special care is taken to ensure that as much of the community is involved as possible: “It’s the end of summer, people are gearing up for winter,� she says, “and it’s between sport seasons [for the students],� giving the community a chance to be together in a healthy way. Using some of what is raised from the run, the Harvey Foundation is able to provide books for their Book Boost Program, sports equipment for the GearUp program, and gifts for “graceful giving� throughout the year.

Their commitment to the community sports programs comes from a lifetime spent working with organizations like the Nantucket Boys and Girls Club and school sports teams. Lombardi and her sister were active participants, and their mother Robin was a coach. “We’re a basketball family‌and we’re a little competitive,â€? says Lombardi, referring to her childhood and the mostly playful competitive spirit she shares with her sister Kari. Growing up on Nantucket, the Harvey family frequented the Nantucket Boys and Girls Club. “It was my sisters idea,â€? says Lombardi, who explained how the March Madness 3v3 fundraiser at the Nantucket Boys and Girls Club came to be. There is a need for a place like the club,â€? says Lombardi, and the 3v3 basketball game provides community service opportunities and a fundraiser that raises money for participants of the Club’s programs. Last year’s event had more than 65 volunteers, and they were able to raise partial funds to purchase a new eighteen-wheeler for the club, which helps to transport students both on and off the island. Additionally, the Harvey Foundation hosts GearUp at the beginning of each sports season, a chance for kids to get free gear for sports like cleats, shin pads, and baseball gloves, essentials that are not provided for kids. Families can reach out to the Foundation or “people will reach out for someone on their radar,â€? and kids and their families are able to drop by the Nantucket Boys and Girls Club and pick up the items they need. Last season, about 125 pairs of cleats were given to students, all made possible by donors and funds raised continued on page 11

through the Run for Robin. The “athletics� portion of the mission statement of the Harvey Foundation is accessible to kids of all ages, whether you are running in Run for Robin or getting your first pair of cleats for a program at the Boys and Girls Club.

The Books to Boost program helps support a summer “booster� program that is offered to children who are entering kindergarten and may need a “boost of skills.� Through fundraising efforts, mostly from the Run for Robin, the Harvey Foundation purchases books, workbooks, crayons, and flashcards for kids in the booster program. Every child enrolled in the program gets to take a bag of books, encouraging them to build their own library. “We include bilingual books too,� says Lombardi, who says the ultimate goal of the program is to “drive home importance of literacy at home.� Kids from other grades in the Nantucket Public Schools have also gotten the chance to connect with the community through a Pen Pal Program.

Students in a kindergarten class, third grade, and middle school class each get the chance to write to Nantucket community members throughout the year. In the past, nurses, police officontinued on page 14

cers, the elderly, and board of selectman have volunteered, writing back and forth with students, culminating in a meet-and-greet ice cream social at the end of the year. This is the Harvey Foundation’s fourth year running this program, and they not only build community connections for students but also provide the writing and mailing supplies for the kids involved The M.E.A.L program is one that Lombardi is particularly excited about. M.E.A.L, or Meaningful Eats in Adolescent Lives, is the newest facet of the Harvey Foundation. It provides an opportunity for a group of about 45 students to prepare and share a meal together. The group meets at least once a month, even participating in activities outside of the meal: last fall they went scalloping and most recently they attended the TWN’s production of Grease.

Lombardi and high school English teacher Elizabeth Reinemo are the facilitators for the group, “putting their feelers out for kids who may need a little extra TLC” or for kids that might be a good fit for any number of reasons. The goal is to bring together students and kids who “may not usually chat with each other” and provide different and meaningful experiences. There are “mentor opportunities and life skills,” available to the kids involved, as well as the continued on page 15

chance to genuinely connect with their fellow community members through policies like their “no cell phone rule,� building the importance of connecting verbally and through eye-contact. Great Point Properties has helped immensely, donating money for grocery bills each month so that the cost of the program is deferred. As the program continues to grow, Lombardi hopes that next summer they will be able to “help high schoolers find summer jobs,� as they have found that “kids need help navigating� the job market. “We find a way to make it happen,� says Lombardi, a statement that not only rings true for the M.E.A.L. program but through outreach in the community as well. “If a family has experienced a tragedy, we try to do something,� says Lombardi, whether it is taking the children in the family out for an activity or preparing meals and dropping them by. The Harvey Foundation stands by their slogan, “it’s all about community,� showing time and again that they are ready and willing to help the Nantucket community if they can.

The entire founding of The Harvey Foundation has been “very organicâ€? says Lombardi, “we’re in it to help in small ways that we can...It has evolved,â€? she says, “and we don’t want to take on more than we can handle‌we’re taking care of what’s important to our mission and our island and really the youth of our island.â€? At the heart of their mission is an ever-deepening sense of community and opportunity to give back in any way to help out, especially the youth community. What followed the tragic passing of Robin Harvey was an outpouring of love from a community that felt the impact of such a tremendous community member, “our year round community has taken great care of us,â€? says Lombardi, whose question then became “what can we do to give back?â€?

The Harvey Foundation has only grown in its outreach over the last five years, strengthening the goals behind its core tenants of education, athletics, and community service. The non-profit has never been about being the biggest on the island, but rather doing everything they can to give back to their community, especially the year-round community. It’s about “ the mission, along with the woman who is inspiring us‌.’what would Robin do if she were around,’ is always at the back of our minds.â€?

Keep an eye out for an upcoming Brunch event at the SeaGrille that will benefit the M.E.A.L group and their monthly meetings. For more information about events, volunteer opportunities, and information on how you can donate to this community foundation visit harveyfoundationnantucket.org.

the sand dunes. The large fleshy leaves, while functional at retaining water in sandy and salty conditions, are almost like banana leaves. One of my personal favorites is the fuzzy grey goldenrod (Solidago nemoralis) which flowers later in the season than most of the other goldenrods. Not just beauties to behold, goldenrods are extremely important nectar sources for many pollinators: a patch of flowers will buzz with activity.

Green – The monarchs aren’t the only game in town. The sandplain grasslands and heathlands of Nantucket are known as home to a suite of bright green caterpillars. Both the Io moth (Automeris io) and the Cecropia moth (Hyalophora cecropia) caterpillars are seen this time of year. Both caterpillars feed on a variety of woody plant species. They are busy feasting before they pupate and become moths. The adults of both species don’t eat, so it’s a last meal of sorts before their transformation. Watch out for these creatures, though: guard hairs on their backsides pack a punch, described as a long-lasting stinging nettle. These creatures are better seen and not touched.

Blue – The small, waxy berries of the Northern Bayberry (Morella caroliniensis) are finally ripe. These tiny berries (which are actually nutlets) are an important food source for migratory birds like Tree Swallows and Yellow-Rumped Warblers. The gray/blue “berries” hold on into the late fall and early winter as long as they aren’t eaten and are, thus, an important resource as other late summer fruits are gone. The Bayberry’s waxy coating has also been used traditionally to make and scent candles. Remember that you have to look for the female plant for the berries. Bayberries are dioecious, meaning there are male plants and female plants with only the females bearing fruit.

Not to be outdone by fruits and flowers, our native grasses have wonderful color as well. Little Blue-stem grass (Schizachyrium scoparium) is the dominant and defining grass of our sandplain grasslands. This bunch-forming grass can grow up to two feet tall on Nantucket. In the fall, the feathery seeds show a wave of blueish purple stems in the autumn breezes.

Purple – Nantucket is ablaze in purple in the fall. From the state-listed New England Blazing Star (Liatris scariosa var. novae angliae), the multitude of fall asters, and delicious beach plums (Prunus maritima), purple is an easy color to spot around the island. Late Purple Aster (Symphyotrichum patens) is common this time of year with purple ray flowers and yellow disk flowers at the center.

The leaves are rough, clasping the stem like little cat tongues. Other purple asters commonly seen are Flax-leaved Stiff-aster (Ionactis linariifolia), New York American-aster (Symphyotrichum novi-belgii), and Wavy-leaved American-aster (Symphyotrichum undulatum). The pollinators are attracted to the purple hues in flowers and wildlife (both human and animal) love the purple fruits. The birds are delighting in the abundance of fruit as they pack on the calories for their impending migration. Arrowwood’s (Viburnum dentatum) delicate lacetop flowers of summer now give way to juicy, dark-purple fruit. Not palatable to humans, these berries are picked off quickly by our avian friends.

Get out and enjoy the rainbow of color while it lasts. Trails abound on all our island conservation lands. The Linda Loring Nature Foundation runs plant and nature walks the third Friday of each month, the next one is Friday, October 18 at 10am. Meet at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation, 110 Eel Point Road to explore what’s flowering, what’s fruiting, and what’s crawling among Nantucket’s grasslands and heathlands.

Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Island/Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nantucket

Vol. 49 No. 20 â&#x20AC;˘ YesterdaysIsland.com

Oct. 3-Nov.13, 2019

The Winners Are...

After twenty-five years of holding a Nantucket Photo Contest, 2019 was the first year that only one photographer brought us prints, all other entries were electronic. Our 2019 photographers live in fourteen states across the USA and Brazil, with most residing in the northeast, and for the first time in more than 15 years, both our first and second place winners are local Nantucket residents.

We received only a few shots of Nantucketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many picturesque festivals and only two winter photos were entered this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go shutterbugs, get out there and shoot some photos for us of Cranberry Festival, The Cold Turkey Plunge, Christmas Stroll, and Nantucket in January and February!

Susan Fairgrieve took first place this year with her stunning photo of the Easy Street Basin. This peaceful island scene would make a gorgeous framed print (how about it, Susan?). Our second place winner is Jason Graziadei for his captivating shot of an approaching summer storm at Brant Point.

The festival was the “brainchild” of former Executive Director, Michelle Whelan. It embodies the core tenants of Sustainable Nantucket while encouraging attendees to focus on the connections between sustainable growing practices and delicious and healthy options available here on-island. The first year that Sustainable Nantucket hosted the Food Festival, there were about 24 events—a number that has since been reduced to be more carefully curated. “It’s about quality over quantity,” says Richard, who is excited about this year’s events and the ways in which the festival has evolved over the past few years. “Nantucket is known for fine dining,” says Mattison, “now you get the chance to meet the growers, farmers, chefs, and producers who make those magical experiences possible.”

The bulk of the events are on Saturday, October 19, starting bright and early at a Fermenting Workshop in the Hayloft at Bartlett’s Farm. Patrons will work with Chef Quang Tran from Nantucket Prime learning about techniques and processes and will be served a continental breakfast. Festivalgoers can also head over to the upper level of the Nantucket Culinary Center, where Chef Michael LaScola will present a demo and tasting called Root to Top. The demonstration will discuss how and why you can use every part of a vegetable, from skins to tops, to provide a waste-free, delicious meal. At 2:30 pm, the Barn at Cisco Brewers will be the site of a Behind-the-Scenes Cocktail Class and Barrel Tasting with Carl Sutton and Randy Hudson. “Not many people get to see it from the inside,” says Richards of this exclusive event, which she is certain will be a hit. Cisco Brewery will also be creating a special brew for NantucketGrown™ that will be available during the festival. The Farmto-Table Lunch with Chef Chris Morris is a favorite of the festival. All of the food is prepared at the Community Farm Institute, and it’s a great opportunity to get a tour of the farm and meet local farmers. Saturday closes out with another feast at PPX events, The Farm-to-Table Dinner that will showcase apples prepared three ways by Chef Kyle Daley.

There is something for everyone during the festival, even the kids. Head out to the Joyce N. Furman Youth Garden from 9 to 11 am on Saturday for the free Family Fun Day where families can explore the garden and learn gardening facts from Calin Duke, the Farm-to-School Manager. Children can learn how weather affects gardens and participate in fun crafts like creating a lavender eye pillow. The Educational programming for NantucketGrown™ has been provided in part by the Community Foundation of Nantucket’s ReMain Nantucket Fund.

From 9 to noon on October 19, Sustainable Nantucket will hold a Pop-up Mini Market at the Nantucket Culinary Center. Local apiary owners and beekeepers will share honey samples and honey to buy, and you will have a chance to learn more about beekeeping on island and how you can get involved.

The closing event on Sunday will feature a “ShACKshuka Brunch Throwdown” held in Proprietors and hosted by Chef Michael LaScola and four other chefs who will compete to present a fabulous brunch complete with raw bar and drinks. The name “ShACKshuka” is a play on Shakshuka, a dish of poached egg, tomato sauce, and spice made in a number of variations. There will be several seatings for the event: tickets were available at press time, but the event is expected to sell out.

Sustainable Nantucket and the NantucketGrown™ Food Festival are a large part of how Nantucket is trying to change the landscape on locally sourced and foraged foods. By buying locally, you have the opportunity to know exactly where your food comes from and what was used to grow it.”

Locally grown farming is what communities are doing,” says LeAnne Richard, adding that she is “happy to have the choices we have,” but that it would be great to have even more involvement in creating a sustainable source for food on Nantucket.

Interim Executive Director Dr. Tom Richard is “excited for the future of Sustainable Nantucket…and overjoyed to be a part of it.” He hopes that as Sustainable Nantucket grows they will consider expanding their mission statement: broadening their appeal and hopefully partnering with other local groups that have similar missions. “We need to be more supportive of each other,” Dr.Richard says, hoping that organizations will move forward toward a common goal of preserving this “precious piece of real estate.” Whether you are attending the NantucketGrown™ Food Festival or looking to be a part of Sustainable Nantucket, there are plenty of options available to begin your farm fresh journey on Nantucket!

To Be A Nantucketer from page 8

To be a Nantucketer is to be connected, to be known, and to be remembered. Not always for the good and not always for the bad. We cling to each other in the weekday weather. To be a Nantucketer is to be known for mundane myth and rare history. This was the guy who swam across the harbor so the cops wouldn’t arrest him for drunk driving. This was the woman who left her family to come here. This was the girl who decided to stay and work when everyone else left. We are the people who are left. In the end, it is Just Us. And when we leave, we take this. The land will forget us, but we will not forget the land. It will be at the base of our lives, beyond words, and under the heart. When others ask us, we can smile, shake our heads, and tell a story that they might believe. But they don’t know the gust of the northeast wind, the sound of the Nobska, or the smile of Rocky at the Chicken Box. Wherever we stand, we look to the tide.

Off-island, we search for our golf course. We look for the consideration, for the cooperation, for the distant intimacy of grass. Out in a world where a thousand faces pass you in a day, the crowd is running through, passing in a digital bubble, and gone into the bright throng. Nobody knows you; anonymity blesses before it condemns you into a mob of marathoners.

But, unlike the rest of the world, an islander has a room of their own, where the waves break, the wind whips, and the scrub pines shake. Out here, we know your name. Out here, we know what you have done. Out here, we remain glad to see you.

Best Bites of 2019

by Carl Oscar Olson Though I’ve never been much of a sports fan, there are plenty of things in life that I am passionate about. That being said, eating has always come naturally to me, and if there was one fantasy list I could compile it certainly wouldn’t be an imaginary, make-believe football team. No, it would be a list of the finest food Nantucket had to offer during the 2019 season. And here it is: the Best Bites of 2019.

The Brotherhood of Thieves 23 Broad Street • 508-228-2551• brotherhoodofthieves.com

Proprietors Bar & Table 9 India Street • 508-228-7477 proprietorsnantucket.com

A creamy sweet Lobster Bisque displayed the wonderful versatility of the Brotherhood of Thieves. Brimming with big chunks of tender lobster, it was served piping hot and blanketed by a flaky puff pastry. The consistency of this seaside staple was perfect: not too thick but bursting with bold, buttery flavor.

Full disclosure: we were on the fence about ordering the Crispy Greek Smelts. Not unlike anchovies, these small, finger-sized fish are fried whole. Served atop a spread of garlic aioli and topped with parsley, they were easily our favorite dish of the evening. Every bite offered a delicate crisp and the essence of the sea, then magically melted away in our mouths.

Brant Point Grill 50 Easton Street • 508-325-1320 brantpointgrill.com We love the charred smokiness of the impressively tender Warm Grilled Octopus with andouille sausage. Plated with creamy fingerling potatoes and refreshing fennel, this dish was a work of art and so were the flavors.

Rose & Crown 23 South Water Street • 508-228-2595 • theroseandcrown.com

Our favorite dish at the Crown was a new one: the Grilled Peaches and Burrata Salad. The mild spicy crunch from fresh arugula was made for the enhanced sweetness brought by warm grilled peaches. Creamy white burrata tied it all together and could make it a meal.

Dune 20 Broad Street • 508-228-5550 DuneNantucket.com

We love being surprised by our favorite foods, and the Rhode Island Calamari “Puttanesca” was the best surprise. Each of us was expecting the typical battered and fried version, but Dune does it differently. Tender, white squid is perfectly prepared in a sauce

made rich beyond words with pancetta, braised fennel, and fermented tomato. Lemon caramelized vidalias and fried capers added just enough acid, while a sprinkle of migas on top provided a pleasant, airy crunch.

Saltbox Tavern and Table 16 Macy’s Lane • 774-333-3814 saltboxack.com

At Saltbox, we loved the cool, creamy contrast of goat cheese against the earthy Stuffed Portabella. The mushroom cap was piled high with arugula, tomatoes, onion, peas, and garlic packing plenty of flavor with no need for meat. We love being surprised by vegetarian options, and this are one we’d come back for.

The Ship’s Inn 13 Fair Street • 508-228-0040 shipsinnnantucket.com

There was no disagreement among us about the Boneless Beef Short Ribs being the star of the show at Ship’s Inn. Tender beyond words and topped with crispy fried onion, this heartiest of meals shares the plate with a mild horseradish spaetzle. And don’t underestimate the power of a garnish, because the aroma from the sprig of fresh rosemary added the perfect touch.

TOPPER’S at The Wauwinet 120 Wauwinet Road 508-228-8768 wauwinet.com

We were glad we went with another one of Chef Zachary’s suggestions at TOPPER’S, because the Grilled Block Island Swordfish was one succulent steak. The gorgeous grill marks sat proudly atop sweet roasted tomatoes, creamy chickpeas, and pickled fennel. Acidity was provided by preserved lemon and an olive vinaigrette tied it all together.

Black-Eyed Susan’s 10 India Street • 508-325-0308 • black-eyedsusans.com

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 was perfectly cooked: crisped top and bottom and rare in the center. A smoked green chili sauce added deep flavor with just the right amount of spice, and we loved the squiggle of sweet corn crema served overtop. Even the cumin-scented fried yucca cubes deserved high praise in this dish of Southwestern flair.

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

Company of the Cauldron 5 India Street • CompanyoftheCauldron.com • 508-228-4016

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 added a second dinner seating on Wednesday evenings (Buttermilk Fried Chicken Night) to meet demand, so try it while you can.

Sophie T’s Pizza 7 Dave Street • 508-325-6265 sophietspizza.com We recommend the Pig Vicious Pizza, its thick layer of cheese studded with savory roasted garlic and sage along with an impressive amount of prosciutto, diced ham, crumbled sweet Italian sausage, and bacon. The aroma turned heads as this meat-lover’s delight was brought to our table.

cod, and french fries. Every component is cooked to perfection, and it comes complete with plenty of tartar and cocktail sauces plus a side of slaw that is a unique mixture of lightly dressed and shredded carrots, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and kale.

The Beet 9 South Water Street • thebeetnantucket.com • 508-680-1857 Poke is growing in popularity, and for good reason.

The dish centers on raw seafood, usually tuna or salmon, combined with rice or other grain, vegetables, sauces, and seasonings.

They are versatile and crowd pleasing, but the best one we’ve had was The Hokey Pokey at The Beet.

Ruby red sesame ahi tuna mingles with al dente brown rice and quinoa, creamy avocado, jalapeño and a sweet soy ginger + basil aioli. Crispy wontons add to the fun and every bite is something new.

Fifty-Six Union 56 union Street • 508-228-6135 • fiftysixunion.com

Our first choice at Fifty-Six was the Roasted 1/2 Rack of Colorado Lamb. Coated in a 3-mustard herbed panko crust and roasted to perfection, it’s served with broccolini and perfectly complimentary minted tabouleh. So tender that knives were an afterthought, it’s all meant to be mopped in an impossibly rich Bernaise. To tie it all together, Wendy thought we’d enjoy pairing it with a bottle of her own reserve of Papillon, an inky and aromatic Bordeaux blend from winemaker Orin Swift. The wine bursts with ripe red fruit and finishes delightfully dry.

The two were truly a match made in culinary heaven.

Easy Street Cantina Corner of Easy & Broad Streets 508-228-5418 easystreetcantina.com The fan favorite Fisherman’s Platter is a seaside spectacle that feeds a few. It’s piled high with fresh fried scallops, shrimp, whole clams, thick-cut

Nantucket, no doubt, has more fantastic dining options on such a tiny island than anywhere else in the world.

Though some of our Best Bites for 2019 are seasonal dishes and not served in October or November, we’re confident these restaurants offer dishes equally good for Autumn.

Island Arts Festival from page 4

idea for the crawl first started. “It’s a tradition and part of the island’s fabric and music history,” says Richard. Nantucket is unique in its collection of organs: a rare Thomas Appleton organ in the United Methodist Church to the newly restored, Bigelow Organ at St. Mary’s. The five organs are regularly incorporated into services at each of the churches and the organists for the Organ Crawl are current or former organists at the churches. They will select songs from their repertoire and each will perform a short 25-minute concert.

The final four days of the festival, October 10-13, the Artists Association of Nantucket is hosting its annual Wet Paint/Fresh Works Weekend. During the week leading up to this, artists will be painting en plein air around the island— giving the public the opportunity to watch them work at their easels.

Thursday, October 10 from 5 to 7 pm, AAN will hold a reception in one of the island’s oldest intact fish houses—the Mitchell-Andrews Fish House at 4 Old North Wharf—to open its three-day Collector’s Showcase. “This is a special chance to purchase a piece of your very own art from a remarkable collection, which will feature works a number of AAN artists including Donn Russell, Fritz Eichenberg, Linda Zola, David Lazarus and William Petit,” explained AAN’s artistic director Robert Frazier.

Sunday, October 13, the final day of the 2019 Nantucket Arts Festival, AAN holds it’s annual Wet Paint Auction and Benefit Dinner. Newly created works will be sold during a live auction in the Nantucket Yacht Club on South Beach Street. The preview, from 3 to 5 pm, is free and open to the public. The live auction begins at 5 pm. Tickets for the dinner at 6:30 pm are available at nantucketarts.org.

The Nantucket Arts Festival offers chances to discover new crafts and art.

The event is a collaboration between the Nantucket Arts Council and members of the Nantucket Cultural District.

The Nantucket Arts Council is a non-profit organization that supports and encourages a collaborative community of the visual, performing, and literary arts through education, grants scholarships and events. For more on the Nantucket Arts Council, visit nantuckerartscouncil.org or call 508-325-8588. The Nantucket Cultural District embraces the heart of the island’s wealth of arts and culture through a range of public programs.
