"Fall-ing" in Love with Art in Autumn October is filled with opportunities to appreciate art on Nantucket. Several wonderful galleries will be showing both new and long-loved art. During Columbus Day weekend, Artists Association of Nantucket will host their annual Wet Paint Weekend, and Nantucket Community Music Center (NCMC) will host their famous Pipe Organ Crawl. Several local theatre companies will present special events and plays based around artists. On Friday, October 3, from 6 to 8 pm, a festive reception will be held at the Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johson Gallery, 19 Washington Street. This exhibition will be curated by an AAN guest artist and will showcase works full of autumn hues and hot colors, in keeping with the fall colors found across island moors and in the warmth of the dappled sunlight of the season. “Artists are encouraged to bring in two works, and the design element for the show will include a short explanation of why the artists produced what they did,” said AAN curator Bobby Frazier. A short walk across Washington Street brings you to the Sosebee Studio & Fine Art Gallery, where you can meet the artists and see beautiful paintings, artisan jewelry, and carvings. Robert Foster Fine Art at 8 India Street will host an opening reception on Friday, October 3, from 6 to 9 pm, featuring Rebekah Lea's fine art and jewelry. The show will continue to October 15. A few steps away at 42 Centre Street, Hostetler Gallery will be showing the sculpture of the female form by David Hostetler, alongside serigraphs by Donn Russell, widely collected paintings of Power Boothe, groundbreaking aquatints and mezzotints of Art Werger, abstract paintings of Xanda McCagg, and hyperrealistic photography of Crystal Cartier. One of AAN’s signature art events will infuse the weekend of October 10 to 12 with color, art, and activity. “Over the course of 3 days, 50 artist members continued on page 17

Celebrating a New England Harvest What New Englander doesn't love cranberries? Nantucketers are no exception. Island residents have cultivated cranberries for over 150 years, and today, the island is home to two cranberry bogs, including one of the nation's only organic bogs. In celebration of this tart, tradition-steeped red berry, the Nantucket Conservation Foundation (NCF) invites the community to the 12th Annual Cranberry Festival on Saturday, October 11 from 11 am to 4 pm. The event is held at the 195-acre Milestone Cranberry Bog on Milestone Road. If you have never witnessed the cranberry harvest, then this event is a must for you. You can even watch it all happen while you're on a hayride! Take a tour of the entire bog, either by yourself or with a guide. (Signs at the festival will direct you to the tours.) Already seen the bog? Lounge in the grass and listen to live music by Four Easy Payments, while the kids enjoy sack races, face painting, along with other fun and games. Barnaby the Bear will be on hand to sign copies of his newest book, Barnaby & Wood Lily. Rem the border collie will work with his shepherdess, Jess Pykosz, to herd sheep, and a number of farm animals will be present for a special petting zoo. Car buffs can get an up-close look at antique tractor displays, and history fans will love learning about the early days of Nantucket's cranberry harvest. There will be a raffle, with the grand prize being a 2015 Over Sand Vehicle permit, NCF fleece vest, and Festival hat! After you watch the berry bouncing demonstration, don't forget to pick up some chocolate-covered cranberries by Sweet Inspirations, which will be available on-site throughout the day. You can also purchase fresh island-grown cranberries, straight from the bogs. Organic cranberries from Windswept Bog will be available. All fresh cranberries freeze quite nicely, so it is not too early to grab a pound or two for this year's Thanksgiving feast. Admission is free; on-site parking is $15 per car. To get to the bog, head east (away from town) on Milestone Road toward ‘Sconset. Slightly over four miles from the rotary, you'll see a brown rock on the left hand side of the road bearing the number 220. Continue on Milestone Road for another 100 yards and turn left.

Whalers Then & Now by Robert P. Barsanti When the mighty Nantucket whalers scored their first touchdown of the game, I was sitting at the fifty yard line discussing computer software. We paused in our discussion and watched the Upper Cape Voke tacklers bounce off of the running back until he stood in the end zone triumphant. We stood, we whistled, we applauded, and then we returned to a discussion of pull down menus and interfacing with the Common Core. Whaler Football isn’t really about the football. I don’t remember watching many of the scoring plays unless they had the good sense to come at the lapse of some conversation. The football game was more about seeing and being seen. In the familiar past, when the game was played on Saturday afternoon, you could take attendance from the fifty yard line. Back in the day, when the coaches were the players, the stands would fill and rock. Boxing Bobby would throw his jabs from the front row. Flint Ranney would celebrate each home touchdown with a howitzer shot. The older and the more infirm would drive to the games and park near the concession stands. Up on the hill, the troublemakers would sit on the guard rail near the road and cause mischief while they smoked cigarettes. The one o'clock start gave most of the island something to do on a Saturday afternoon. You could finish a light lunch, walk up to the field, and spend an otherwise profitable afternoon in the company of friends and family, while in the eyes of all who would spit on your grave. The town would gather for the games, trade gossip, watch a few plays, then, in the settling dark, drift off for pizza or burgers. Those games were played in daylight. The opposing team spent the night before sleeping in the gym, came out for the JV game in the morning, then played at one o’clock in the afternoon. After victory or, more likely, defeat, they rode a bus down to the boat, accompanied by a taunting crowd. Then the victorious Whalers would drive through town, honking their horns, and celebrating home field advantage. Either sportsmanship, high gas prices, or civility has marked the end of the fan serenade down at the boat. Moreover, the Whalers did not upset the meals of the palates of the diners downtown. This game began at five o’clock in the afternoon, which gave the referees and the opposing team just enough time to arrive on one high speed ferry, lose a hard fought game, then leave on the next boat. The coaches were back home in time to tuck their kids into bed. The island has changed. The years have worn away the fans. Plenty of great seats remained available in the aluminum bleachers. The oldest fans, as befits their wisdom, sat up against the press box in the lee of the wind. The youngest fans, from the middle and high school, jammed up against the western most edge of the bleachers. The rest of us spread out over the aluminum benches, eased back, and enjoyed the game. The carpenters and plumbers who took Saturdays off to stand at the fence and discuss offensive strategy, as well as their past heroics, cannot take those days off now. We have become a profitable and professional island; building sites are for the day and football fields for the night. The team has changed as well. In the SuperBowl past, the team was manned by names that had been on island for generations. Those names may have been Cape Verdean or Portugese, but they were familiar nonetheless. continued on page 15

THEATRE REVIEW
A Picasso by Sarah Teach Picasso sits alone in a dingy brick basement with the trappings of an interrogation room. Cold concrete floors. Bare light bulbs. A single table flanked by upright chairs, designed for discomfort. But the oddity of this interrogation room is that stacks of paintings line both sides of it. This is no ordinary detention area; something weird is about to happen. Even in Nazi-occupied Paris, 1941, Picasso was busy being Picasso. Singular, sarcastic, misogynistic. His large dark eyes bored into the objects of his gaze with legendary intensity. He was privileged to be an artist whose greatness was discovered during his lifetime rather than after it; and accordingly, he took no issue with being a king of the 20th century art world. But will the king's crown topple if he is cornered in a dungeon by a Nazi officer who aims to either destroy his art or take his life? Theatre Workshop of Nantucket presents A Picasso, a 2005 play by playwright Jeffrey Hatcher, known for his screenplay adaptations of others' works (Tuesdays with Morrie) and also his own (Stage Beauty). Based loosely on real events, Hatcher's story brings us to a time when “Germans are not used to hearing the word 'no.'” Picasso's interrogator arrives: Miss Fischer, whose crisp gray suit and coiffed hair belies any humanity that may lie beneath her Aryan features. The tension heightens almost immediately, and explodes when Fischer admits she needs a Picasso for a formal art burning by the Third Reich. She has called Picasso to the dungeon to authenticate three works that her government has acquired. Of course, the artist is outraged at the idea that his work would be destroyed, and he scrapes and claws to salvage it. Fischer and Picasso do psychological battle, stealing power back and forth from one another, and giving the story several arcs of varying intensities. Five or six times throughout the play, the tension is palpable. The audience falls totally still. We are initially uncomfortable believing that the tension between detainee and captor could be sexual, but Picasso quickly lets us know that he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. He is, after all, Picasso.

A Chat about Nantucket Art Since before she joined the Artists Association in the 1970s, Kathleen Duncombe has been a part of the Nantucket arts scene, both creating and curating and even teaching. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been particularly drawn to island talent, and 20 years ago she opened Made on Nantucket, which is the place to go for a wide variety of art, jewelry, ornaments, gifts, by more than 18 different Nantucket artists and island craftspeople. Last week Kathleen shared with us some of her insights about art on Nantucket. What do you consider the highlight of art on Nantucket? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I became a member of the Artists Association of Nantucket 70s...that was when the Kenneth Taylor gallery was open. The art scene was vibrant, and primarily local Nantucket artists. There was traditional art and there was experimental art â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not as much in the middle, as I recall. Some of the greats were still here and working, and a lot of peoople were experimenting with mediums and methods, and that that was exciting.â&#x20AC;? What does art mean to you? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art is very emotional... Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a form of self expression for the artist, and it gives pleasure and happiness to those who have it and can look at it every day. Art can be very spiritual: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for you, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calming... healing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art is universal: most people can learn in their own way to express themselves artistically. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be gifted to create art, but not everyone will be a great artist... those who can are very fortunate. continued on page 48

Katharine & Betsey Return by Dr. Sarah Oktay, Director, University of Massachusetts Nantucket Field Station (see www.yesterdaysisland.com for expanded article, website links, & notations)
They’re back! Two great white sharks tagged in 2013 have returned to our waters over the past week. Katharine and Betsy were tagged by scientists with the well-known Massachusetts based shark research group OCEARCH (www.ocearch.org/) in August of last year and within a little more than one year have returned to our shores. Although many people are concerned about both the return of the gray seals and great whites, it is important to remember that the great white sharks and many other shark species are apex predators (like humans) which are, as the name implies, the top predator in the food web. In other words, these creatures are the lions of the sea and they help maintain ecosystem balance. If we remove top predators, we would disrupt the delicate balance of the food web. It is a success story that they have returned and despite some high profile incidents between humans and sharks, their return has increased tourism on the Cape. Much of the credit for the love-hate relationship that people feel toward white sharks can be attributed to Dr. Greg Skomal, who has spent the past several years educating the public about the value and beauty of these animals. I have written about the recovery of the gray seal population several times. Back in 2009, I wrote about the types of sharks found in our waters and described the times of year we would most likely see them. In Massachusetts we see a variety of shark species including blue, mako, angel, basking (huge sharks often mistaken for great whites), dusky, porbeagle, sandbar, sand tiger, smooth and spiny dogfish, thresher, sharpnose, tiger, and hammerheads (relatively rare tropical species), and the iconic great white shark (scientists just call them white sharks). In the summer of 2011, I also wrote about Fin 101; how to identify a shark fin and distinguish it from sunfish and dolphins and other finny creatures. A larger gray seal population does attract great white sharks, but it is not like the ocean is teaming with them. I was asked recently how many great whites were in a given area with the person questioning me thinking the num-
ber was in the hundreds. My educated guess was that there were perhaps 2-5 great white sharks within 10 miles of Nantucket. From the OCEARCH website “OCEARCH is a non-profit organization with a global reach for unprecedented research on great white sharks and other large apex predators. In a collaborative environment established by Founding Chairman and Expedition Leader Chris Fischer, OCEARCH enables leading researchers and institutions to generate previously unattainable data on the movement, biology and health of sharks to protect their future while enhancing public safety and education.” OCEARCH has quickly improved the amount of science that can be done and there shark tracking apps and program allow the public to be engaged in a real and wonderful way. For instance by going to the website and zooming in on Nantucket, we can see that Betsy, who was tagged in August of 2013, was just off the coast of Sconset on September 27 at 3:43 pm! It is important to note that Betsy just returned a few days ago, she hasn’t been circling all summer, and these tagging programs help us understand shark behavior while assuring us of when they are or are not, on our doorstep. Katharine just surfaced and a ping was recorded on September 27 at 5:41 am several miles southeast of Nantucket. Tagging allows scientists to follow these sharks as they migrate down to Florida and around to the Gulf of Mexico. During the tagging operations, various scientists are allowed a brief time with the animals (15 minutes max for all onboard work) to take blood and tissue samples. Our ability as scientists to work with live creatures and return them to the wild to observe them naturally has increased by leaps and bounds. Speaking of big and getting bigger: Katharine is the larger of the two sharks, weighing in at 2,300 pounds at the time of her tagging. At that time she was 14’ 2” long, but scientists following her say she has most likely grown since then. continued on page 47

Bubbles & Bivalves by Carri L. Wroblewski BRIX Wine Shop Opening day on Nantucket is sacred. We wait all year long for it—and no, I’m not talking about baseball. As the calendar lets go of the last days of September we impatiently await the start of October—the beginning of family scalloping season. I’ve had my fair share of Nantucket Bay Scallops. Whether it was while seated at a tony table in a Manhattan restaurant or cooked at home, excited by my purchase at the fish monger where I was tempted by him touting, “Nantucket Bay Scallops—the first of the season.” But it wasn’t until last year, my maiden voyage to the sea, that I truly understood the real sweetness of our island morsels. Suited up in my borrowed hunter green waders we drove around in what seemed like circles, down unknown dirt paths to parts of the island I never knew existed. When we arrived at our secret destination, I hopped out of the pickup truck, barely able to keep my excitement corked. We unloaded our push rakes and view boxes, both of which I had little clue how to use. My first lesson came before we even touched the water. The seasoned Nantucketer, willing to give up her time to teach us bay scalloping novices how to harvest these sea treasures, turned to me and said, “Before we go any further I have to set something straight. We are not going “scAlloping” we are going “scOlloping.” With my midwestern accent not doing me any favors, she was serious and made me repeat “scolloping” three more times before we proceeded to the water. I remember that particular day being picture perfect—

warm with the Indian summer sun beating down upon us. Not entirely sure what to expect, we slithered into the water rakes in hand. After a quick tutorial on what to do, off we went to collect our bivalves. Lesson number two: It’s not always as easy as it looks. There’s a reason why it’s a tradition. Why people have “their” special push rakes or a hand crafted gadget someone made them years ago to help harvest their allowed weekly bushel. I raked and raked with little success until I used the view box and a homemade tool whipped up by our guide’s boyfriend, and then it became a game. And a fun one at that. One by one I filled up my basket. By the time we were finished, the sun had set and my waders were filled with cold water. I didn’t care. It was one of the most memorable days I had last year. And it was only then that I fully comprehended not only the sweetness of the scallop, but also the deliciousness of the experience. The next night we ate the fruits of our labor—scallops nestled among ribbons of fresh pasta lightly kissed with butter. My initial bite of that gift from the sea left me speechless. How could something so small, so delicate, deliver that much flavor? To commemorate our success we opened a bottle of Louis Roederer Brut Premier Champagne. It’s no surprise that the Nantucket Bay Scallop, celebrated and sought after, should so easily pair with another of life’s great pleasures…bubbles. Our bay bivalves with their sweet, succulent nuances marry perfectly with the continued on page 16

Eye on Style
by Sarah Morneau
Summer has come to a close on Nantucket, but that doesn’t mean the island shuts down. With the changing of seasons comes a changing of inventory, with stores switching from breezy summer attire to cozy sweaters, outerwear, and boots. Here we list some of the highlights from the stores we featured this season and who will remain open through the fall or year-round: • Now that the craziness of summer is over, it’s time to settle into a season of cozy get-togethers and dinners with friends. Did you know that Bartlett’s Farm at 33 Bartlett Farm Road carries gifts, home accessories, and items for stylish and easy island entertaining? Stop by and pick up some great serving pieces for your next dinner party! • Island Cashmere, located at 32 Centre Street, is the only purveyor on the island of the well known French Sole ballet flats and they have a floor to ceiling wall dedicated to them. These comfortable and stylish shoes are perfect for fall and come in many different styles and colors, so you’ll be sure to find a pair that works for you. • Get ready for the holidays at Cold Noses, the pet boutique located in the Courtyard at Straight Wharf. They have a great selection of Nantucket ornaments that are hand painted and available in a variety of breeds, perfect for the dog lover in your life. • Murray’s Toggery Shop at 62 Main Street has a way of keeping the classic looks they are known for while evolving with the times and constantly changing trends of the fashion world. Just recently they launched a new brand called the M Crest Collection, fine apparel for men and handbags for ladies, all made in the USA. • Sweet Liddle at 40 Centre Street offers a wide variety of fun and eclectic products to browse through, from clothing to home goods to natural soaps and toiletries. The handmade leather bags from Maine really caught my eye, and are one of their best sellers.

Twentieth century artists frame the fall lineup at Theatre Workshop of Nantucket. Showing in repertory with Jeffrey Hatcher's A Picasso is playwright John Logan's Red, which dramatizes a defining period in the life of abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko. A Picasso and Red share the same production staff. Both sets were designed by Peter Waldron and decorated by Anne Breeding and her assistant Karina Meijs; and both offer a highly realistic interpretation of the moments at hand. For the Red set, TWN brought in artistic consultant Miguel Hernández, who gives us the studio of an organized madman: paper plastered haphazardly to the walls, paint cans lined up neatly, chaos swirling with order. We see exposed brick walls in a time before they became fashionable, and paint-splattered everything. Sandra Galley's lighting design breathes life into the red elements of the set, which we do not notice until they are emphasized by light. Rothko, a polarizing artist, painted impressionistic works that appear quite simple to the untrained or misunderstanding eye. Even so, there are plenty of pairs of trained and understanding eyes that also dissent Rothko's work, naming its simplicity a flaw. Some works were improbably minimal, visually (think large monochromatic canvases), but still managed to speak to thousands of people across the planet. Therein lies the artist's genius, according to his devotees. "Order. Method. Boundaries," says Rothko's fictional assistant Ken of his employer's methodology. This playwright's Rothko is filled with a rage that predisposes him to see red in an instant, without much prompting. He also seems to suffer from a form of manic depression. Unlike Picasso, whose creative energy was leeched from those around him, Rothko drew his artistic force from within.

Whalers from page 6
The oddest name on the list inevitably came from the AFS student Vito had “convinced” to kick the extra points and field goals. The current Whalers reflect the rest of the island; they hail from anywhere on the planet. Their families came here in search of high paying jobs, found them, and then enrolled the future linemen in school. Very few of their fathers played for Vito or were hit by an errant clipboard. They don’t know the stories of the 1982 SuperBowl team, nor do they know many of those old heroes. It’s a different island. But it isn’t a different game. The field may have school buses parked at one end, a wind turbine at another, and employee housing down where the burnouts used to go, but the field remains the same one that Tim Ostebo once patrolled. Whaler Football tells the winter story of the island. The island changes, not so much because more and more hedge fund managers buy 15 million dollar houses in Squam, but because poor people come on the late boat, live in a basements and string three jobs together. The children come to the school with “the best that their parents have.” The boys play football, the girls cheer, and the Unimportant People of Nantucket expand to include Caribbean Meat Stew on the menu, right alongside Holy Ghost Soup and Clam Chowder. On Saturday, both teams played a familiar game. Although I have slipped away from Whaler football in the last few years, I remember smaller, undermanned, but well-disciplined teams come across the water to lose nobly to our bigger, talented, and penalty befouled teams. So it happened on Saturday, when the Upper Cape Voke players bamboozled the home team with a fake punt, drew them off-sides, and misdirected them into several long reverses. But, at the end of the game, the larger and more talented home team wore down their Voke brothers and scored on the final play. The Whalers stood victorious in their blue and white uniforms. The boys held their helmets in the air and shouted, the cheerleaders leapt and squealed, and the fans applauded. As we have for fifty years. To the west, the sun set, followed by the barest sliver of a moon. That has been going on for quite a few years as well.

complexity of Champagne or the simple freshness of a sparkling wine. Knowing that I was writing this article, a friend loaned me a great book called Scallop Season by Jim Patrick and Rob Benchley. According to them, approximately 400 scallop species exist yet only 50 of them are fished commercially. But what’s most interesting is that just like wine, scallops acquire their taste based on where they come from. In wine terms, the French word terroir refers to the unique flavors that a growing region imparts on the grapes grown there. The same goes for the sea. Playing off the word terroir, the term merroir was coined, referring to the specific flavors imparted by a particular location or area within the sea. So, not surprisingly, just like Champagne from France is going to have a different flavor profile than a sparkling wine from California, so, too, will a northern bay scallop taste different than a sea scallop. But, back to those bubbles. The Roederer Champagne paired perfectly that night with our pasta dish peppered with the rich texture of the scallops. Made from 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, and 20% Pinot Meunier, it offered up a creaminess with each sip and its refreshing acidity cleaned the palate for the next bite. Though Champagne is fantastic, sometimes the occasion calls for a simpler sip, but you don’t have to sacrifice your bubbles. There are plenty of delicious sparkling wines to fit the bill depending on the preparation of your bay scallops. A scallop ceviche (raw fish and shellfish "cooked" in an acidic citrus juice, usually lime or lemon) is one of the freshest ways to indulge in your prized harvest. Grab a bottle of Jean Francois Merieau’s Bulles, a French sparkler hailing from the Loire Valley. A blend of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay its zippy acidity and subtle hints of citrus will help those scallops melt in your mouth. Another one of my favorite sparkling wines to pair with scallops comes from northern Italy. Ca’ del Bosco Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige is a delicious alternative to Champagne. Crafted from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, and Pinot Nero it comes from 134 different vineyard parcels. An extremely versatile wine, pair a glass of this with sautéed scallops. I’m excited for scalloping this year. Not only does the word “scolloping” roll off my tongue now, I even have my own homemade view box. From my glass of bubbles to yours…cheers!

Art in Autumn from page 3
will spread out across the island to paint in preparation for a live auction on the Sunday of Columbus Weekend. Every piece auctioned off is freshly painted—or wet,” explained AAN executive director Cecil Barron Jensen. This year’s Wet Paint Weekend will kick off at 6 pm Friday, October 10 with a cocktail party at Sylvia Antiques, 6 Ray’s Court. Visitors are invited to meet AAN artist members over a glass of wine. Works of art from the AAN’s Permanent Collection of modern Nantucket art dating back to the 1920s will be on display at Sylvia Antiques. The collection includes works from the association’s founding members and influential artists over the past hundred years. The party is free, but visitors are asked to RSVP at 508-228-0722. Wet Paint Weekend continues on Saturday and Sunday with AAN member artists painting across the island, welcoming visitors who wish to look over their shoulders as they work. Enjoy coffee with artists on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. at the AAN Gallery, 19 Washington Street. The weekend culminates on Sunday, October 12, with a live auction in the ballroom of The Nantucket Hotel on Easton Street. For almost a quarter of century, the Nantucket Community Music Center has sponsored the annual Pipe Organ Crawl on the Saturday of Columbus Day weekend. The audience walks from church to church as featured organists play a short recital on each organ accompanied by a brief talk about the incredible history of each instrument. The recitals are free, but donations to benefit NCMC and organ maintenance are encouraged. The organ crawl offers a rare opportunity to hear in a single morning six notable tracker action organs built and renovated over a span of more than 175 years. In contrast to direct electric action organs, tracker action organs rely on a mechanical linkage connecting the pedal or keys to the valves that allow air to flow into the pipes. The linkage is made of an assembly of slender wooden and leather parts and bronze or brass wire. Precision-made, the parts are designed to last centuries. Organists often prefer the sound and feel of a tracker organ because they have greater control over exactly when the air will enter the valve. But the intricate structure prohibits the console from being moved, and a tracker organ can be more challenging to play. The crawl begins at 9:15 a.m. at St. Mary's Church at 3 Federal Street, and continues to the Congregational Church at 62 Centre Street for a 10 a.m. demonstration and a 10:30 performance in the vestry of that church. At 10:50, participants can enjoy a quick coffee break at NCMC at 56 Centre. Next, it's the Methodist Church at 2 Centre Street at 11:30 a.m. At noon, head to Unitarian Church at 11 Orange Street; and finally, at 12:30, hear the organ at St. Paul's at 20 Fair Street. Feel free to join whenever you want; you needn't begin at St. Mary's. Theatre Workshop of Nantucket continues showing A Picasso and Red, two highly acclaimed plays based on twentieth century artists. A Picasso, based on Pablo Picasso, shows at Centre Stage at 2 Centre Street until October 10. Red, based on eccentric minimalist Mar Rothko, plays at Bennett Hall at 62 Centre Street, until October 11. See TheatreWorkshop.com for showtimes and tickets. White Heron Theatre Company presents a Playwrights' Workshop on October 10, 11, and 12. The public is welcome to drop in and watch rehearsals from 13 p.m on Friday and Saturday, then attend the staged reading at 3 p.m. on Sunday. All Playwrights' Workshop events are free.

• Peter England is celebrating its 40th year on Nantucket, providing their clientele with quality products made in the USA. Their luxuriously cozy knits for both men and women are all hand loomed using fine yarns, Irish linen, and organic cotton. They are located at #3 and #11 Old South Wharf. • Anyone who has spent any amount of time on Nantucket knows how quickly the weather can change, and that’s where the Haulover at 7 Salem Street comes into play. For this season’s cooler temperatures, check out their extensive collection of outerwear for the whole family! • Family owned and operated since 1930, the Nobby Clothes shop at 17 Main Street has been providing islanders and visitors with high quality, name-brand men’s sportswear at a reasonable price. They carry their own Nobby Clothes Shop private label sportswear and their popular line of Breton Reds sail pants, shorts, long-sleeve shirts and caps. • Head on over to Johnston’s Cashmere at 4 Federal Street for this season’s softest knits! They carry cashmere wraps and ponchos that make great transition pieces for the changing season. • Treat yourself to a piece of jewelry made just for you! Custom pieces are what Emilly specializes in, taking into consideration personal style, skin tone, and color preferences of her clients. When you buy from Emilly Brooke Rubin Jewelry you know you are getting a one-of-a-kind piece made on Nantucket by the artist. She is located at 40 Centre Street.

The summer season simply isn’t long enough to feature all the great shops and fun products on Nantucket, so here are a few Staff Picks to add to our list of items you don’t want to miss: • The Cranberry Cheesecake Truffle made at Sweet Inspirations, 26 Centre Street is a confection you’ve got to try. This prize-winning truffle combines the creaminess and flavor of cheesecake with specially prepared cranberries and two different chocolates. Stop by for one and be prepared to go home with a dozen. • Within the G.S. Hill Gallery at 40 Straight Wharf, alongside the stunning paintings by island artist Greg Hill, you’ll find The Nantucket Pearl Company and a selection of hand-knotted pearl jewelry. Appropriate for this column is the Nantucket Must-Have Bracelet—we love the black leather with silver scallop shell clasp, but you can buy them with the island clasp or the Nantucket lightship basket clasp and in a rainbow of colors. Starting at just $50, they make great stocking stuffers (hint, hint).

Picasso from page 7
The script isn't perfect, and has moments of implausibility; but it is still an interesting rendering at an oft-depicted figure. The upshot of the character's personal diatribes is that one does not need to be a Picasso scholar in order to enjoy this play; Hatcher paints the artist's life for us. On the other hand, if you are a Picasso scholar, you will be enthralled by the art references. For example, Hatcher offers a unique perspective on how Picasso may have thought about Guernica, which depicted the Nazi bombing of a Basque town. Biographer John Richardson wrote, "[Picasso] was a vampire in that he took everybody’s energy and worked off that. You would feel drained. Then he would work all night.” Hatcher captured that element of the man, who slowly draws the strength from his detainer like he's pulling a rope that inevitably has an end. Director Kate Splaine describes the story as a “cage match”wherein the characters take turns wielding the upper hand. I felt Fischer held the power the entire time, but the person next to me felt the opposite was true. This play has been performed for almost a decade, but not all actors have been as well cast as they are by TWN. With dark hair slicked back, TWN newcomer Alexander Cook is a handsome Picasso who embodies both the bravado and brilliance of the famous artist. Cook's Spanish accent is quite convincing. Katie Croyle, who we've seen most recently at TWN in Dracula, is Fischer. Splaine cast an actor more young and beautiful than many who have played Fischer in other productions of this play. Perhaps the director wished to coax the situation closer to reality, as Picasso was quite accustomed to interacting with women decades younger than he. Peter Waldron did a great job designing the set. Sandra Galley actually used those bare light bulbs in Waldron's interrogation room, giving them both visual and functional value. Kudos to Anne Breeding and her assistant Karina Meijs for giving fitting outfits to each character. The duo, also responsible for set decoration, brought in works of art that are not explicitly seen, but we still believe they are truly products of the period's masters. A Picasso is approximately 75 minutes, and it flies by. Due to adult content, this is not a family show. A Picasso is playing at Centre Stage, 2 Centre Street, through October 10. Tickets are $30 at TheatreWorkshop.com. See the website for show times.

Red from page 14
(Playwright Logan captures this element of Rothko in a variety of ways. At one point during Red, Ken (Vince Veilleux) asks, "Not so much for small talk?" The great artist responds coldly, "It's small.") Like all artists, Rothko struggled with the balance between making money and keeping his art genuine. As we witness in this play, Rothko was once offered a huge commission for paintings that would hang in the swanky Four Seasons Hotel. He thought they'd be displayed in the lobby, but discovered they were destined for the hotel restaurant. Rothko, evaluating the restaurant's diners the way an animal sizes up another of its kind, mockingly describes their aura like so: "A desperate sound, like forced gaiety under gunpoint." Under Patrick Walsh's direction, it's easy to buy Vince Veilleux as Ken, Rothko's eager assistant, who is an aspiring painter. Veilleux's youthful energy melds well with this role. Sean McGuirk's Rothko begins as unlikeable, unkind. He is a harsh man; and even if we like his art, he's not someone whose friendship we'd enjoy. But finally, the playwright gives us resolution, and the script allows a turn in the way we view Rothko. I wouldn't say he becomes likeable, but he does become less unlikeable. He is tortured; we see that throughout the whole play. But it isn't until the end that we really understand how deeply Rothko cares for his work and how much meaning is packed into it. It's not just red. It is everything. And if we appreciate it, then we become a part of its very creation. Unlike the play A Picasso, which is showing at TWN in repertory, Red requires some background on its artist subject. Those who know nothing of Rothko will not find this play as enjoyable as Rothko scholars. Red runs 90 minutes with no intermission. It is showing at Bennett Hall until October 11. See theatreworkshop.com for show times and for tickets, which are $30. Tickets may also be acquired by calling the box office at 508-228-4305.

Katharine & Betsey from page 11
For comparison, the largest ever recorded great white was 21 feet long; except when you dig deeper and you discover that sharks shrink a lot after death and that it is hard to tell how big they can get, with twenty feet more likely the max. The second shark, Betsy, is also likely to be bigger now (aren’t we all, well, except for those high achievers on the oceanic treadmills). Tagged one day before Katharine, she weighed 1,400 pounds and measured 12’ 7”. The majority of sharks in our waters are gentle giants who would much rather be eating plankton, a sand lance, or other small prey fish. In Massachusetts, there have been four reported unprovoked shark attacks from 1670 to 2012, three of which were fatal, with the last fatal attack occurring in 1936. Except for sport fishing, there are no major commercial fisheries for sharks. Of the 5.7 million pounds of shark landed in the Commonwealth in 2000, 99% were spiny dogfish with a commercial value of $1.3 million. The remaining 1% was primarily makos, threshers, and porbeagles taken incidental to offshore trawl, longline, and gillnet fisheries based in this state. “Friend of the Nantucket Field Station” Massachusetts shark expert Dr. Greg Skomal has worked with both with the OCEARCH team and with Atlantic White Shark Conservancy. He also heads the Massachusetts Shark Research Program for the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries. In 2009, Greg and John Chisholm were the first to successfully tag and track great whites in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean using high tech tags. From www.atlanticwhiteshark.org/research/, the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy website, we learn that: “In the Northwest Atlantic Ocean, the white shark population is estimated to have declined by over 75% in the past 15 years. Cape Cod has become an aggregation site for great white sharks, presenting a rare and incredible research opportunity. “For the first time, modern scientists have predictable access to white sharks in the North Atlantic and the ability to study their life history and ecology over multiple spatial and temporal scales,” explains leading shark expert, Dr. Greg Skomal. “Without a strong sense of how many white sharks exist in this area or how many are being killed, the time to act is now.” Dr. Greg Skomal has been a senior fisheries biologist with Massachusetts Marine Fisheries since 1987, and he is also adjunct faculty at the University of Massachusetts School for Marine Science and Technology. I am also adjunct faculty there, although my research is not as exciting (I do not get to build robots to film sharks underwater). Greg's shark research has spanned multiple fish habitats around the globe. Much of his current research centers on the use of acoustic telemetry, satellite-based technology, and animal-borne imaging to assess the physiological impacts of capture stress on the post-release survivorship and behavior of sharks. He is now looking at remote robot based tracking devices that can follow various tagged sharks including the basking sharks he is studying. You can go to Cisco Brewery and buy some good light beer to support OCEARCH Shark Research. For every case sold, $3 goes to Chris Fischer and OCEARCH. If you scan the shark fin or the image of the OCEARCH research vessel (M/V OCEARCH) it will lead you to an app that shows the locations of their tagged sharks. Last but not least, along the line of fun tidbits of knowledge, Katharine was named in honor of Katharine Lee Bates, a Cape Cod native and songwriter who is best known for her poem and song “America The Beautiful.”

Nantucket Art
Oct. 2-Nov. 19, 2014 from page 10
“And art isn’t just a canvas: it can be photography, craft, jewelry, textiles.” What art do you collect? I have a ridiculous amount of art in my house. Most of it is Nantucket art... I have it because it's work that I truly loved when I bought it. For years I've collected Tom Burke, Jack Brown, Polly & Bobby Bushong, Larry Vienneau... I've tried to get one piece by every artist who's work I like. “Most people buy art because they love it [not as an investment]. I just had a woman come into the gallery here on Old South Wharf who fell in love with a Donn Russell. She said it was the first piece of art she's seen in six years that she would buy.”
Fresh bread!
Can you share a favorite memory of an exhibit in your gallery? “The Resale Shows that I did when the gallery was located on Main Street were amazing. I did one for Ray Dawson and one for Peter & Paul... these were private collections of Nantucket art opened up for sale when the owners were downsizing and wanted to redistribute. The Resale Shows featured pieces that had not seen the light of day in years—classic Nantucket art created by the Old Guard in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s... artists like Maggie Meredith, Katherine Seeler, Donn Russell, and others. People were arguing over the pieces—we had to have a doorman, and the lines to get in went down the street. I’d love to do another. These shows are fun to put together: you see pieces you’ve never before seen, and you meet interesting people.” Where do you think art on Nantucket is headed? Nantucket will always be a place where artists paint and create, and people will always come here to look and buy art because of the tradition of Nantucket, and its history as an art colony. There's a lot of diversity, and I think it's cyclical... Computers have completely changed photography, but there are still artists here using [time-honored methods]...I still create my monoprints the way I was taught in the 60s—I still create my jewelry the same way.

What advice would you give to a young artist on Nantucket? They must hone their craft and make connections with other artists —feedback, both good and bad, is very important. You don't have to be solitary to do art. Learn something every day. Try different formats—during your artistic travels you may come up with different approaches and formulas—don't eliminate possibilities.” What’s ahead for you and for Made on Nantucket? “I’m finishing the ornament for this year, so there will once again be an exclusive Nantucket Stroll Ornament for 2015 that will be sold only at Made on Nantucket. “I’ve had so many people who want to see the Nantucket work that I have outside of the time they are physically here on the island and who want to see what my artists are doing that I’m working on a website. Look for Made on Nantucket to be online this winter. “And I’ll be doing some trunk shows. I've been approached by different people around the country who want me to show my huge collection of vintage bakelite...it’s become known as one of the largest collections in the East... jewelry, barware, kitchenware, martini shakers, bracelets. I’ve liked it since I was a teenager—the color, the design—so I started buying pieces for myself and found so many others who like it, too. You’ll find Kathleen Duncombe in her gallery at 18 Old South Wharf most days after 11:30 am, when she is not teaching.

Featured Restaurant: Black-Eyed Susan’s
A Savory Sensory Experience We’d call it a hidden treasure if it wasn’t so well-known and loved—in fact, during the summer season it can be hard to get a reservation at this small eatery now in it’s third decade. Patrons of Black-Eyed Susan’s are so devoted that they willing wait outside for a table even when it’s cold or foggy or both. We love stepping out of the chill of an autumn evening into the warm, aroma-filled restaurant to be greeted by co-owner and General Manager Susan Handy. Last week, our team perched on the corner seats of the long marble counter and had a prime view of the well-choreographed activity in the open kitchen. Dinner moves fast here, it’s the ideal eatery if you’re going to the theatre or the movies. Don’t be late, because there is always someone who will happily take your seat! Executive Chef and Co-Owner Jeffrey Todd Worster worked closely this season with Chef de Cuisine Todd Edwards to design intriguing dishes that bring together fresh local ingredients with unusual spices, seasonings, and garnishes. In several dishes on the Autumn Menu, they strive to recreate flavors they enjoyed during international travels. It’s a collaboration that brings out the talents of each chef. The appetizers and entrees have distinct layers of flavor that combine for a remarkable sensory experience. We always order soup when we dine at Black-Eyed Susan’s, and we’ve never had the same recipe twice! Other than a few menu mainstays—Caesar Salad, Capellini with Tomatoes, Basil, & Garlic, and Linguini with Local Quahogs, all three available in half and full portions—the menu changes frequently and rarely is a dish repeated. Roasted Pumpkin Soup on the autumn menu is warming and delicious. Unlike many pumpkin soups, this version is not cream-based. It’s built instead from a light broth that is surprisingly hearty and full of flavor, with chunks of pumpkin and carrot, soft and sweet from roasting, and pieces of beef tenderloin with Korean seasonings. There’s a tinge of heat in this soup, calmed by a handful of cool, crisp beach sprouts. A long, thin crostini smeared with kimchi butter is served alongside, but go ahead and order the 1/4 boule of sourdough to mop up every drop. A favorite El Salvadoran treat, Pupusas de Queso, is another tasty fall appetizer. The hand-formed corn cakes are stuffed with cheese, cooked on the open griddle, and served topped with curtido, shreds of boneless ribs, and a a dark, rich red wine reduction with the haunting flavor of Mayan cocoa. We love the cool crunch of the pickled vegetables against the soft corn cake and the moist meat with its deliciously crusty edges. We did hesitate just for a moment before tasting the novel garnish—organic farm-raised, banana fed crickets. They turned out to be fun crunchy tidbits. Go ahead: we dare you! Two very different salads are offered this fall to start your meal. We like the Asian Mesclun Salad, a simple toss of fresh mesclun dressed with a superb clingy vinaigrette of coconut, cashew, sesame, and soy. Morsels of Thai spiced popcorn add festive pops of heat. There’s a spark of heat in the Iceburg Slice with Grilled Cajun Shrimp, too, but the similarity ends there. This salad is a variation on a wedge. Plump, smoky shrimp are snuggled into the tasty, tangy Louis dressing poured over the lettuce. Half an egg pickled in apple cider, slices of heirloom tomatoes, and thin onion rings finish the salad with a kaleidoscope of color and flavors and textures. One of our favorites among the appetizers, tied with the Roasted Pumpkin
Soup, is a warm and crunchy Bacon, Horseradish, and Potato Pancake. Sounds simple...it is simple and simply delicious, especially topped with chilled smoked trout, dill creme fraiche with fried capers, and drizzles of a delectably sweet beet and maple syrup. We enjoyed every bite of each appetizer so much that we could hardly wait to try the entrees! Like the first course, every dish is a preparation we’ve never before tasted, and each sings with flavor. A traditional comfort food meal is fancied up with lean, juicy, and slightly sweet sausages, satiny potato puree, and a luxurious sauce of white bordeaux, dijon, and tarragon with swirls of cranberry gastrique in the Venison and Blueberry Bangers. Who knew this homey dish could be so good? This twist on a British Isles favorite is joined on the menu by Chefs Worster and Edwards version of its Southeast Asian comfort food counterpart. Kai Kaphrao Khai Dao is a stir-fry of minced chicken, basil, chilis, and beans that starts out slightly sweet and rapidly evolves into spicy hot. An omelette filled with jasmine rice is served alongside and mellows out the heat. A drizzle of the phrik naam pla that comes with this adds a salty zing. Cooked like a steak, right down to the finishing touch of maitre d’hotel butter, the Swordfish au Poivre is fantastic! It’s the best swordfish we’ve had in ages: thick yet cooked through, meaty and succulent. The chef adds just enough pepper to add enticing flickers of heat, and every so often you bite into a peppercorn for a burst of it. The swordfish steak is served over a mix of French green lentils and mirepoix in a brilliant romesco sauce with roasted tomato, pistachio, and garlic. This is a dish of pure, honest flavor, and we highly recommend it. The Wild Salmon is also startlingly good. This entree is a montage with a different combination of textures and flavors in every mouthful. The star of the show is the salmon—the moist fish is crusted with seasonings and sesame seeds, and it comes apart in big tender flakes. Tucked underneath are large raviolis stuffed with a sweet mixture of amaretto and butternut squash, savory sauteed wild mushrooms, and thick slices of roasted eggplant lacquered with a sweet chili sauce. A pool of ginger-pomegranate brown butter ties it all together. The two desserts served at Black-Eyed Susan’s are both winners. Their Belgian Chocolate Pot de Creme is intensely flavored: a chocolate dream. It’s served in a demitasse cup topped with whipped cream and surrounded by a trio of tasty cookies: coconut macaroon, macadamia nut, and a sugar cookie. Gelato in various autumn flavors is the second dessert. The evening we spent at Black-Eyed Susan’s, the featured flavor was Apple Pie, with all the warm, homey flavor of that fall favorite in every cool spoonful.
