And the Winners Are...

When we started our annual Nantucket Photo Contest more than 25 years ago, all the entries arrived via the US Postal Service except for two or three dozen hand-delivered by excited participants. This year, after two decades of widespread Internet access, only one participant mailed in prints to be entered in the contest — all the rest were emailed to our contest address: ackphotocontest@gmail.com.

More than 950 people emailed more than 1,000 images to be considered. Entries came from several foreign countries and 26 states, from Washington State to Washington DC; from New Hampshire to New Mexico.

Photos of Nantucket in all seasons were submitted. There were quite a few photos featuring foggy days, some of sunsets and sunrises, surfers and sailors, glamour shots, fishermen with their catches, photos of kids enjoying Nantucket and of dogs frolicking in the sun and surf. We received more roses than hydrangeas and more hydrangeas than daffodils.

Jerry Daub, who launched the very first of our Nantucket Photo Contests and who cast the tie-breaking vote nearly every year, left us this April. All our judges missed his insightful and incisive input, his ability to see beyond the basic shapes and colors to the details and composition of each shot, and his decisiveness.

With Jerry’s spirit in our hearts, we announce this year’s first place winner is William Valaitis of Norway and Nantucket for his photo of the violinist who entertained hundreds through the season every evening on Main Street. We couldn’t break the tie for second place, so we decided to award two second place prizes, both to Nantucket residents: Kate Olson for her shot of the fisherman and Elizabeth Kelly for her photo of the Boat Basin at sunrise.

You can see these winning photos in this publication and at nantucket.net/photos/gallery.php along with many others that deserve honorable mention. To the many amateur photographers who did not receive a prize or honorable mention: don’t give up, there’s always another chance to win – we’re already accepting entries for the 2019 Nantucket photo contest at ackphotocontest@gmail.com.

Night Watch in the Whaling Museum Celebrating 20 Years as Nantucket’s Best Resource for Outdoor Living 9 Wampanoag Way | 508.228.1961 | arrowheadnursery.com

At night the museum comes alive. You can hear the bleating of thousands of sheep gathered for the Shearing Festival. You can faintly hear the shout “thar she blows” and spouting of a distant whale. The portraits whisper of days gone by, and, if you are very still, you can smell the scent of fire in time to sound the alarm. echoes History through the hallways and up the staircase that reaches the rooftop observation deck. Island children have experienced this, and now you can, too.

The Nantucket Historical Association (NHA) will host a special public Night Watch overnight experience at the Whaling Museum on October 27.

This family event is designed for parents and their children ages 8 to 11.

Participants will experience a seven-hour program involving crafts, games, exclusive access to the Whaling Museum’s permanent and temporary exhibitions, and the opportunity to learn about life on a whaling voyage. Visitors at Night Watch will sleep in designated exhibition spaces within the museum.

An evening snack, continental breakfast, and a gift bag will be provided.

“This program, originally created for Nantucket school children, has been so popular, we decided to open it up to the public,” says Amy Durbin, NHA Manager of Education. “Night Watch can be enjoyed by both islanders and off-islanders interested in learning about Nantucket’s role in the wider world.”

Check-in for Night Watch is 6:30 to 7:00 pm on Saturday, October 27 and check-out will be at 8:30 am on Sunday, October 28.

Tickets, which must be purchased in advance, are available at nha.org or in the Whaling Museum for $75 per person ($65 for NHA members).

Summer Hours: Monday-Saturday, 11am - last call @ 7pm; Sunday, noon - last call @ 6pm Tastings, tours, live music and good times! Kids, snacks, & leashed dogs welcome!

I spent the weekend in New Hampshire, a long way from home. On the way up, the swamps and wetlands were punctuated with burst of red and yellow, but once at the lake, the hills and mountains remained a deep photosynthetic green. Sailboats crossed Winnipesaukee while a small, top-heavy ferry tooted its way into a small dock. The slips still held most of the motorboats of summer. Overhead, three levels of clouds meandered over each other.

One of my aunts had come to the end of a full and well-loved road, and we were sending her home in a rare gathering of the clan. I have reached an age when I only see my uncles and cousins at memorial services. When we once clustered in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, we have now exploded across the country in streaks of jobs, bills, and children. But for this moment, we have returned to a porch, and a buffet and a bar overlooking the southern end of the lake. At that golden moment, so far from Nantucket, they thought my pants were salmon colored, a man in a suit and unbuttoned tie came up to me. “Say,” he said. “Is that house on stilts still out there on the beach?”

Our island is everywhere.

You can’t see Nantucket from the mainland, unless you use memory or imagination. If you have never crossed the Sound, Nantucket is a slideshow of calendar photos, dinner stories, and Yelp reviews. It is a promise and a question. When you step off the ferry, the image that pops into your mind becomes superimposed on the reality that appears before you. Things have changed and are not where you were told they were, but the sketch fills in with the new reality. Perhaps it is for you, perhaps it is not.

But if you have lived on the island, you will never be quite the same. The island that I remember is the island that I moved to. Cyrus Peirce School still stood, the India House served brunch, and downtown hummed and smelled

Why Fire?

by Dr. Sarah Treanor Bois Director of Research & Education at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation There has been a long tradition of fire ecology on Nantucket. While the amount of fire the Wampanoag used to alter the landscape is unclear, our Native American predecessors most likely used fire as a tool for clearing brush to support agriculture and other activities.

The modern equivalent of “controlled burning” started in the 1980s with Bill Patterson and Peter Dunwiddie, among other ecologists and land managers. It was informed and in coordination with the Nantucket Fire Department, but with little to no training in wildland fire involved.

Today’s controlled burns are generally called “prescribed fires.” A prescribed burn is the controlled application of fire to the land in order to accomplish specific land management goals. Today the Nantucket Prescribed Fire Program works diligently within a limited window of opportunity to meet Nantucket’s conservation and land management goals. The Nantucket Prescribed Fire Crew is a group of trained individuals of varying skill levels lead by highly trained wildland fire professionals. The Nantucket Islands Land Bank (Nantucket Land Bank) currently leads the prescribed fire crew on Nantucket, which includes on-island personnel from multiple organizations as well as professional burn crew personnel from off-island.

Why fire? Nantucket is known for its open grasslands, heathlands, and the majestic middle moors. These habitats, termed Sandplain Grasslands and Coastal Heathlands, are what ecologists call Early Successional Habitats.

Classic Nantucket examples are found all along the south coast of the island: Smooth Hummocks, Head of the Plains, and Ram Pasture. These habitats are highly valued not only for their beauty, but for their biodiversity and association with a number of rare and endangered species.

Maintaining these grasslands requires disturbance in order to limit shrub and other woody vegetation encroachment. Historically, wind, salt spray, sheep, and the occasional fire created and maintained these habitats. Today, continued on page 17

SIPS

The White Elephant in the Brant Point neighborhood on the outskirts of town is home to the Brant Point Grill. Known affectionately as “BPG,” the restaurant is located directly on the picturesque Nantucket harbor overlooking Children’s Beach and the Steamship Authority ferry dock. Their food menu consists of delectable dishes by Chef Tom Pearson, featuring tender Pineland Farms all natural steaks, fresh fish, a lobster dinner, as well as a late night bar menu and an outstanding Sunday brunch.

The adjoining bar at this upscale hotel eatery offers the same menu and libations available in the main dining room, along with a special BPG Bites menu featuring more casual fare. The bar is convivial and fun, a great place to escape from downtown and feel like you are the guest on vacation, especially when they have live music at night. Be sure to sip on the Nantucket Mule from their list of specialty cocktails. This tasty (and easy to make at home) local rendition of a Moscow Mule comprises just a small handful of key ingredients. Take a tall glass and fill it with ice. Add 2 ounces of Triple Eight Cranberry Vodka, which is made from local cranberries and hence the gorgeous cranberry color. Top with equal parts Ginger Beer and Cranberry Juice, then garnish with a lime wedge.

No extra charge for the breathtaking views of the harbor!

Luckily, there are numerous locations that do remain open for those who enjoy the lush taste of food and lucid pace of island dining that is available to us this time of year.

The festive flavors of fall are also translated into the creative craft cocktail lists found across the island. From cranberries on the harbor to seasonal takes on classic drinks, there are numerous locations on Nantucket open and ready to receive you with warm hospitality.

Modern chic meets casual comfort in the heart of historic Nantucket at Dune Restaurant. Located amidst the hub-bub of Broad Street, this upscale eatery features refined New American fare by Chef Michael Getter and his team. The changing menu showcases an innovative selection of the finest in seasonal local produce, fish and meats from regional farms and select purveyors.

Make sure to return numerous times in the next few weeks to sample all the splendid seasonal creations on this list! A highlight from these selections is Autumn Leaves Fall. This tells it like it is, not just in the name, but also in the warm flavors, yet crisp finish the drink has to offer. In a shaker, add ice, 2 parts local Triple Eight Organic Vodka, one part St. George Pear Brandy (made in California from Bartlett Pears), and a splash of lemon continued on page 15

ISLAND COOKING

Fall Fresh

by Maryjane Mojer Bartlett’s Ocean View Farm

Visit Nantucket before+ after you visit Nantucket,

Most fruits and vegetables are available year round in any grocery store.

Sure, there are displays that are seasonal: corn in the summer, asparagus in the spring, apples in the fall. Yet all of these can be found when they are not usually in-season. Ask anyone who has tasted a cantaloupe on an August morning, just harvested and still warm from the sun, to compare that to one that was shipped hundreds of miles, picked green and hard as a rock. Fresh and local is best, and picking and eating fresh produce in-season will show you how things should truly taste and smell.

When the first head lettuce comes in from the field, you can smell it before you see it. It’s hard to describe what green smells like, but once you’ve taken a deep breath, and inhaled that mixture of sweet grass and chlorophyll, any cellophane-wrapped head of iceberg will forever fall short. Fresh Iceberg from the field, chilled for a bit in the cooler. has so much crunch and so much watery goodness that each bite is a surprise. The aroma of just cut herbs are full of promise and purpose. When we cook and when we eat, we use all of our senses: the feel of the knife in our hands, the surprising heft of a small, but dense tomato, the sound of the sizzle as we slip the chopped onions into the pan, and the aroma of each unique ingredient as they begin to come together for the final dish.

As each season fades and a new one begins, I find myself craving what comes next.

I’ve had my fair share (and then some) of corn and peaches this year, and I am now counting down the days until apples and winter squash arrive.

Finding the seasonal stars of the show is always an adventure. I start pouring through recipes and cookbooks in anticipation of what to do with that first Delicata of the year, and dreaming about Butternut Bisque or an Amber Cup Smoothie.

Last year, I began what I’m sure will be a lifelong love affair with heirloom apples. Somewhat naively, I ordered four or five varieties for the farm based primarily on their names. Hubbarston Nonesuch, Black Gilliflower, Ashmeads Kernel, Duchess of Odenberg—I thought they would be a fun addition, add a bit of interest to the fruit display. I had no idea.

Heirloom apples, or heritage apples, bring history to the table. These are continued on page 16

Nantucket Grown Four days of food, fun, and education, the NantucketGrown™ Food Festival celebrates what is fresh, local, and sustainable from Nantucket growers, farmers, fishermen, and food producers. This year the festival runs from October 11 to 14, with nine special events. Tickets to all events can be purchased at SustainableNantucket.org At the beginning of the “off-season,” the NantucketGrown Food Festival offers a chance to experience the real Nantucket. The festival opens Thursday with a special intimate multi-course dinner prepared by Chef Greg Margolis in the Nantucket Culinary Center.

The popular Farm-to-Table Tasting will be held Friday from 5-7 pm in the Nantucket Yacht Club, where Nantucket chefs are paired with farmers or small food producers to highlight the best of the season’s bounty. Attendees will sample creative dishes by a dozen local chefs. Libations will be provided

by Nantucket’s own Cisco Brewers.

After the tasting, Woody Tasch will give a free talk at the Yacht Club entitled Slow Money and Nurture Capital: A New Vision of Food, Money, and Soil.

Saturday, October 13, brings a free honey tasting, free scallop shucking demonstration, Farm-to-Table Lunch, Cocktail Creations demo and tasting, and a Sustainable Sushi talk and tasting.

The festival ends Sunday with a morning of free family fun in Sustainable Nantucket’s Joyce N. Furman Youth Garden on First Way, and a Bloody Mary Brunch at 11 am in the Nantucket Yacht Club. Sunday evening, Sustainable Nantucket Partner Proprietor’s Bar & Table is hosting their annual Hogtoberfest, a thoughtfully prepared multi-course dinner, encompassing nose-to-tail preparations from locally raised small farm animals and wine, beer, and cocktail pairings. Reserve your seat for Hogtoberfest by calling 508-228-7477.

Sustainable Nantucket is cultivating a healthy Nantucket by building a more locally-based and self-reliant food system, and a stronger island economy. In addition to the Food Festival, regular programs include: the seasonal Saturday Farmers & Artisans Market, the NantucketGrown™ Campaign, and the SN Community Farm Institute. SN’s Farm to School program offers island children hands-on, lifetime lessons in nutrition, agriculture and environmental stewardship in the garden, farm fields, classroom and cafeteria.

vaguely of diesel. When I think of home, I travel back to that year. Then, when I am off-island, even though I know the island is now private clubs, Land Rovers, and Cisco Brewers, my mind brings back the dark, the diesel, and the dead. They still serve Cheddar Cheese Soup in my home.

The road back from Winnipesaukee is lined with towering oaks. We drove up and down the hills, among the strip malls, used car dealerships, and meat markets of New Hampshire, and passed under oaks hundreds of feet high and years old. The woods stretched off, just beyond sight, into hills and darkness.

The horizon was cluttered.

If you had a life on Nantucket, you took it for granted. After a while, it became invisible. You get used to everything on this tiny sandhill, and, then when you are away, the world seems weird. Once, I came off-island for errands and became bewildered by Staples. How could there be so many different types of folders? Superstores exhausted me. Everything cost less, but the choices befuddled.

You drive through traffic lights and stop where you shouldn’t. You get bored driving more than ten minutes and the traffic moves impossibly fast on Route 6. It gets too cold, and your sinuses hurt in the dry air. There are too many lights at night and too many noises during the day. Then you get used to it.

But you don’t, not entirely. If you have lived on Nantucket, you look for friendly faces in every room. Back home, you can walk into the boardroom at the Sankaty Club and know someone, even if it is just among the waitstaff.

Oct. 4-Nov. 14, 2018

Grocery shopping is a social act, extended by any number of conversations and tactical evasions. Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they know what you are buying and why. When you live on Nantucket, someone is always taking attendance. They know what you are eating, what you tipped the bartender, and where you spent the night. And they may know even more than that.

Off-island, you can cut class. Nobody recognizes you, marks you present, or assesses demerits. On-island, you are caught in the net of community, but off-island, you slip that net into a vast current. When the state police stop you, your automotive sin remains the business of you, the hat, and the insurance company. Your friends, your boss, and classmates don’t tug on your arm in the produce and commiserate. Sinner and Saint walk up and down the mall, invisible to each other. Anonymity frees you to be the person you always wanted to be: anonymity strips you of the person that you have always been.

Eventually, the sun set in New Hampshire. The roads we drove had few cars, businesses, and houses. Our headlights lit the dark in front, but disappeared behind. On a route we may never drive again, we passed as if we were crawling along the bottom of the ocean. Above us was only darkness and wind. Inside, we listened to the Red Sox and thought of home.

We are always headed back home. We measure time in Steamship schedules and calculate whether we can still make the late boat. We compare prices in the stores. We look for familiar faces. We wonder what they are doing there now. Are they sitting on benches in front of the Pacific National Bank? Are they walking along the Sconset Bluff? Are they sitting at the Tap Room?

Home remains where it has always been, just over the horizon and into memory. The cobblestoned streets, the fog, and the surf are there still, just out of sight. The surf roars, the air tastes of salt, and the old voices are murmuring.

If you once lived on the island, every evening you start back home.

No need to rake any leaves after enjoying this beverage!

MID-ISLAND MANHATTAN The Seagrille Restaurant has led the way for the mid-island restaurant scene on Nantucket for more than twenty-five years. Their eclectic menu of inventive seafood and meat dishes lures locals, and seasonal summer residents alike, to this welcoming institution owned and operated by EJ Harvey and his family. It is known as the place where locals go for great fish and excellent seafood. Besides offering a classic venue and delicious menu, the Harveys are also committed to giving back to the community of Nantucket through the Harvey Foundation founded in honor of Robin Harvey, the matriarch of the family, and other charitable endeavors.

With two full bars, one recently renovated inside the dining room and the other on the patio with a must-see collection of bourbons, they feature hardto-get craft beers on draft, a well procured wine list and an eclectic cocktail list featuring modern takes on some classic concoctions. The Seagrille Barrel Aged Manhattan is a complex drink and not easily replicated at home. The exact proportion of ingredients for an individual serving is a secret, as this is made in house in large batches then aged for 3 months in a 5 liter barrel. It consists of Barrel Rested High West Double Rye (from Park City, Utah), Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, Tuaca (an Italian brandy), Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth and Rhubard bitters. The easy part is that it is topped with a Luxardo Maraschino cherry (or two, if you like).

Nothing like being on an island far out at sea for a big city drink like this!

DESIGNATED DRIVER

The Wauwinet Inn, set alongside the inland waters of Nantucket Bay on the other side of the island, is home to the acclaimed restaurant TOPPER'S. This is a favorite foodie (and wine) destination that taps into the island's rich supply of fresh ingredients from land and sea. Here you can dine on oysters that are harvested so close to the inn that you can see the oyster beds from the shore. The elegant restaurant offers upscale East Coast American fare and has a Grand Award winning wine list from Wine Spectator, a distinction held by fewer than 100 restaurants in the entire world!

Topper’s beverage program is unique in other ways as well in that they offer a creative spin for those who don’t partake alcohol, but enjoy a good ‘cheers’ with their dining companions. Labeled as “mACK-tails” on the menu (enter your best Boston accent here), again local fresh ingredients from the island, and their very own herb garden, are used to continue with the theme of the food being offered there. Bogged in Basil is a delightful, basil-infused cranberry purée that is mixed with refreshing lemonade. It is served in an elegant hurricane glass that makes you feel as special as others who may be consuming wine instead.

If you can’t decide who will be your designated driver to this far away location, take advantage of the free shuttle from the White Elephant Hotel!

Wherever your drinking adventures may take you to explore the many nuances of the fall, savor this beautiful time on island as you celebrate the season. Now is an opportune time to reconnect with friends and acquaintances that you haven’t seen for awhile as you toast to the bounty of the season and all it has to offer.

the kinds of apples you want to sit with, enjoying each bite, considering the flavors. Holding one of these little beauties in your hand fills you with an intrinsic need to know more about them and why they are so treasured. From the first glance and touch of the skin, some tender, some leathery and russeted, to the sharp but subtle crack when you plunge your knife in and slice one open, each step reveals a nuance or treasure.

Heirloom apples, like any heirloom fruit or vegetable range in size, shape, color, texture and taste.

Lamb Abbey Pearmain is a dear little delight of an apple. These are small enough to hide in your hand and have a lovely bright blend of sweet and acidic with a hit of pineapple. The skin is not unlike a Macintosh with a green background and a reddish blush. Perfect for eating out of hand.

Maiden’s Blush is a deep red with a crisp white flesh. Think about a Granny Smith. Imagine taking a bite...there’s a crunch, for sure...bright, sharp tang that gets you right in your cheeks. Crunch, yes; crisp, no. Now think about a Honey Crisp. A fresh one, picked within the last few days. Now that’s crisp. It has a snap that’s discernible from a crunch. Maiden’s Blush has a lovely, crisp snap. It’s a bit dryer than other apples and is perfect for dehydrating. Squat and round, it’s an American apple dating back to the 1700s.

Any experienced pie maker will tell you “Spies for Pies.” Northern Spy apples, dating back to the mid 1800s are true pie apples. These are on the larger sid, and are good for eating out of hand as well as for baking. While it does keep well, and has that wonderful rush of apple goodness when you bite into it, I prefer it with a buttery crust and a slab of cheddar instead.

sugar content, this is a true cider apple, producing a thick, shiny, sweet nectar when crushed. The skin is leathery and russeted. Think of a Russet or baking potato—that’s what it looks a bit like. Kind of scaly, not terribly attractive, but it sure does the job of protecting and preserving the sweet, sugary flesh.

20 Ounce Apples are just what they sound like: big two-handers. Dating back to the 1850s, 20 ouncers are a great baking apple, fine out of hand and great for sharing.

I have three favorites from last year—well, maybe four—but Honey Crisp makes the list every year. Don’t think that you know what a real, fresh Honey Crisp tastes like until you’ve either picked your own or had one that’s been picked within the last week or so. This is a perfect example of seasonal star power. The Honey Crisp that you can get year-round now in any store seems to be on an entirely different plane than the fresh Honey Crisp from local orchards in the fall. No comparison whatsoever.

Aside from my old standby, I’m smitten with Zabergau Reinette, Blue Pearmain, and Rhode Island Greening. Zabergau Reinette is a German apple.

Small, sugary sweet with a distinctive walnut finish which becomes more prevalent as it ripens, these apples are great for sauce, baking, and cooking.

In his essay Wild Apples, Henry David Thoreau wrote about Blue Pearmain: “For I do not refuse the Blue Pearmain, I fill my pockets on each side; and as I retrace my steps in the frosty eve, being perhaps four or five miles from home, I eat one first from this side, and then from that, to keep my balance.” Blue Pearmain are tart, filled with flavor, reminiscent of a wild apple.

I think that Rhode Island Greenings are a favorite not so much because of their flavor, though they are tasty, but because of the lore associated with them. They are supposed to be the original fruit from the Garden of Eden.

Apples and pears are the perfect addition to any and all autumn meals.

Like all fresh produce, enjoy them at their peak. Be brave and try them all!

Why Fire? from page 7

mowing, brush hogging, and grazing are just some of the tools used to create disturbance. Fire, however, has an ecological “natural” history and can be more successful in reaching the ecological management goals.

When a mower or brush hog mows over an area, all vegetation is cut equally. The results will be a uni-typic landscape as tall as whatever height the mower blade was set. When fire moves through an area, some plants (or “fuel” as they are called in fire ecology) burn faster or hotter than others, creating a mosaic effect. This results in patches of unburned vegetation among varying levels of burn across any unit.

Unburned patches can also act as refugia for plants, insects, and animals.

The mosaic effect creates a habitat that is more diverse in plant heights, ages, and species. Fire can also produce some patches of bare soil. These patches are suitable sites for germination of many grass and wildflower seeds.

In addition to ecological and management goals, planned burning reduces fuel loads and can prevent future unplanned wildfires.

People may not realize that a significant amount of planning goes into prescribed fire. Years before a fire ever happens, a prescription is written for each potential “burn unit.” A burn unit is the particular acreage to be burned.

It is often defined by boundaries such as a road, a mowed break, or a water feature such as a pond edge. Burn units are also put on a rotation, generally every 3 to 5 years on Nantucket, so that the area has a chance to recover before being burned again. Rotating when specific units are burned allows plants and animals to return to previously burned areas.

The prescription is a document which states the management goals (fuel reduction, ecological biodiversity, etc.), as well as the conditions under which this particular unit can and cannot be burned. It has information on wind directions, wind speeds, humidity, time of year, and many other factors. If any of these conditions are unacceptable on the day of a planned burn, they are considered to be “out of prescription,” and the burn will be postponed.

Trained professionals write these prescriptions in collaboration with the landowners and the ecologists on staff. The document also has to be approved by local fire authorities.

It is only when all of the items in the prescription come together at the right time that a fire can happen. On the day of the burn, the burn boss starts with a “test fire.” This is a time when there is active fire on the ground and the leaders can see if the fire is behaving as expected. In addition to making sure everything is safe, ecological goals must be met.

Prescribed fire is conducted under the leadership of one or more experienced and certified prescribed fire leaders using professionally trained burn crew members. The training involved for prescribed fire is the same as that for wildland fire. In fact, some of Nantucket’s Prescribed Fire Crew members have been on wildfires in the western and southwestern US. Some training has been conducted on-island, but many individual crew members have travelled off-island to Cape Cod, Plymouth, New York, and beyond for training opportunities.

The Nantucket Prescribed Fire Crew leaders work closely with the Nantucket Fire Department to ensure the safety and protection of surrounding resources. Nantucket Fire Department crew members are often on-site during the burn and many have participated as a training exercise. continued on page 26

IRELA AN ND GALLERIES Artist Lorene Ireland

Nantucket Burn Program is limited in its capacity to burn. Research shows that growing season burns (fire generally during the summer) have the greatest ecological benefit to reducing woody shrub cover and promoting grassland and forb growth. However, Nantucket is not allowed to burn between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The 2018 Nantucket wildfire season runs from October 1 to November 16. Permitting for this window has been obtained from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. During that short time, the Nantucket Islands Land Bank Commission plans to burn Head of the Plains (south and west of Sanford Farm) and Smooth Hummocks (east of Cisco & west of South Shore Road) given proper weather conditions.

Fire is a natural management tool for effectively reducing woody shrub encroachment and promoting grassland and wildflower growth. Many heathland species bloom and grow profusely after a wildfire and some species require fire for germination. Wildlife such as deer and rabbits can run faster than the fires burn, and small mammals and reptiles seek shelter underground. Overall, the resulting sandplain grassland and heathland mix are beneficial to the entire ecosystem.

If you see smoke on the horizon, report it to the Nantucket Fire Department: they will know if the Nantucket Prescribed Fire Crew is burning on any given day. For safety, stay away from active fires, even if being conducted as part of a prescribed fire event. If you have questions about the prescribed fire program, call Eric Savetsky at the Nantucket Land Bank: 508-228-7240.

Featured Restaurant:

Best Bites of 2018

by Carl Oscar Olson You might say the staff at Yesterday’s Island have it made. Nearly every week during the Summer season, we are treated to not only the best dining on Nantucket, but often in the state and country as well. After each fantastic meal, we pass the review on to you in our Featured Restaurant section of the paper. We tell you not only where to go but what to order when you’re there - sometimes before it’s too late!

Every year as fall grows nearer, we like to boil the best from around the island into the culmination known as ‘Best Bites’ - a list of our favorite food from Madaket to ‘Sconset. So get your pen, belly up, and bring your appetites, because here are the Best Bites of 2018.

Proprietors Bar & Table 9 india street • 508-228-7477 • proprietorsnantucket.com

It’s traditional but predictable to begin a meal with bread, and with so many people watching their carb intake, why not switch things up?

For starters and anytime after at Proprietors Bar and Table, pick the Pig Ear Fries. We still find ourselves craving these thin sliced, deep fried strips of salt and spice.

thing from across the pond.

The Grilled Langoustines at Ship’s Inn are a European standard uncommon to plates in New England. saltwater These cousins to the crayfish were served with strips of salsify, a crisp white root not unlike parsnip, and a tomato basil beurre blanc.

sandbar 4 Bathing Beach road • 508-228-2279 • jettiesbeachbar.com

Oysters by the ocean is one of life’s simple pleasures.

Sandbar, offering buck-a-shuck daily from 35pm, know the bivalves well, a fact that no doubt made their Grilled Oysters one for the books.

They were warm and creamy with a smooth shallot butter to offset the brine, and 6 were not enough.

surfside Beach shack surfside Beach • 508-228-2921 • surfsidebeachshack.com

Before the sun sets on summer, we like to squeeze in as many chances to eat outside as we can. We found an old favorite with a new twist at Surfside Beach: The Surfside Beach Shack test-driving it’s new taco truck. We would have tried one of everything if we could, but our favorite still holds the crown for our favorite lobster dish of the year. The Lobster Quesadilla combined warm, sweet lobster with bright, tangy goat cheese and was topped off and turned up with a cilantro lime crema and mango lime salsa.

The ship’s inn 13 Fair street • 508-228-0040 • shipsinnnantucket.com

One thing we are all spoiled on, 30 miles out to sea, is seafood. The North Atlantic offers a bounty to choose from, but it’s always a treat to try some-

Fresh bread!

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

There is lots of fine dining downtown, and one spot the does not disappoint is Dune.

Their menu is always changing, and the food is always fresh and local.

One of our and Chef Getter’s favorites earlier this summer was the Stir Fry of Manila Clams. Delicate, subtly sweet quarter-sized clams still

Vol. 48 No. 20 • Yesterdaysisland.com

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

shined through the bold flavors of Chinese sausage, fried garlic, ginger, scallions, and lemongrass. When the clams were all gone, a bed of ramen noodles helped soak up what was left of the succulent sauce.

Brant Point Grill 50 Easton street • 508-325-1320 • brantpointgrill.com

With colder weather around the corner, it’s time to hunker down with some slow cooked classics, and the Veal Osso Bucco at Brant Point Grille would fit the bill. This generous piece of meat is cut across the leg, bone in, and we can verify it’s spoon-tenderness. It sat a top a luscious parmesan polenta, but the cherry on top was the bone marrow gremolata in the middle.

Fifty-six union 56 union street • 508-228-6135 • fiftysixunion.com

This year was once again one of the warmest on record, and when we wanted to stay cool but fill up we headed to Fifty-Six Union and ordered the Seared Rare Tuna. Ruby red fish was dusted with 7-spice then barely seared. It was sprinkled with sesame seeds and served alongside asparagus and udon noodles tossed in a tahini sauce. Dollops of pickled ginger aioli and nuoc cham, an asian style garlic-lime sauce, livened things up and made every bite interesting.

TOPPEr’s at The Wauwinet 508-228-8768 • wauwinet.com

5-star dining calls for a 5-star entree, so when we went to TOPPER’S at the Wauwinet the Satsuma A5 Wagyu Strip Loin called to us. It’s the best of the best for beef, and a simple sear was all it needed to melt the marbling of fat into the meat. A sprinkling of sea salt sets it off, and it was matched with compliments of young vegetables, chanterelle mushrooms, and divine drizzle of sauce perigueux, a luxurious final touch flavored with Madeira, truffles, and black pepper.

saltbox Tavern and Table 7 Macy’s Lane • 774-333-3814 acksaltbox.com

Salads don’t usually make the list, but the flame-kissed Grilled Romaine at Saltbox was unforgettable. A few minutes on the fire brought out an intense, juicy flavor in the lettuce while a classic Caesar dressing and thick-cut bacon could make it meal. They offer add-ons if you want a little more, and the tender, perfectly cooked shrimp were certainly a bonus.

Oct. 4-Nov. 14, 2018

rose & Crown 23 south Water street • 508-228-2595 • theroseandcrown.com

We all need a place to relax and unwind, to comeas-you-are and be treated like a local. We’re always thankful Nantucket has the Rose & Crown, and we’re always thankful for their tap list and their Nachos. They come piled high with nary a chip un-cheesed, fully loaded with fresh tomatoes, jalapenos, and red onions.

Take them as they are or add a little extra; we recommend the house favorite ‘crack chicken’. It’s slow cooked in a secret blend of sour cream and ranch until it melts in your mouth.

Downyflake 18 sparks Avenue • 508-228-4533 • thedownyflake.com

Some of our favorite fare is served up every day at diners across the United States, and we boast one of the originals on Nantucket: The Downyflake.

For over 80 year they’ve been leaving patrons pleased with breakfast and lunch, and this summer dinner was added to the list. It was more than clubs and melts, too. The Steak Frites boasted Bernaise sauce perfection and showed us all what this little standby can muster.

Easy street Cantina Corner of Easy & Broad st • 508-228-5418 • easystreetcantina.com

Everyone has a place for fresh, fried seafood in their heart, and Easy Street Cantina is the place to get it. While you’re there, try the tacos. And the breakfast options, which are served all day. Don’t forget about the burgers, either, because theirs was our favorite of the season. The thick beef patty on the ACK MAC is decked out with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and of course your favorite ‘special sauce’. Served on a buttered toasted bun alongside golden brown fries dusted with house Nantucket Spice, it’s everything a burger should be.

Black-Eyed susan’s 10 india street • 508-325-0308 • black-eyedsusans.com

Downtown favorite Black-Eyed Susan’s is known for their wide open kitchen and dynamic, eclectic menu. There are flavors for every palate, but our favorite was the Seared Atlantic Halibut. This dish is full of savory flavor. The well-seasoned and perfectly cooked fish is bathed in an onion-bacon dashi with tender slices of fingerling potatoes and grilled asparagus that tastes delightfully of bacon. Wasabi sprouts as garnish added a verdant crunch.

We hope you join us on our restaurant adventures around Nantucket.

Though some of the dishes mentioned here are no longer available, there are no doubt other island eateries offering the same spectacular styles. Will you be the one to find them?
