Dr. Sarah Oktay Returns to Host “Rising Tides” “Rising Tides,” a documentary that explores the topic of coastline erosion, will be screened this Monday, June 25 at 6 pm in the Great Hall of the Nantucket Atheneum on India Street. Dr. Sarah Oktay, who served as one of the film’s consultants and has a cameo appearance in the production, is returning to the island to host the event and will lead a brief discussion following the screening. Admission is free and refreshments will be served. Dr. Oktay, who directed the UMass Boston Nantucket Field Station for 13 years, is a highly regarded leader of the environmental community nationally. She is currently Director of Strategic Engagement at the University of California, Davis Natural Reserves System. “Rising Tides” features some of the country’s most at-risk coastlines in Florida, North Carolina, and Southern California, and abroad in France, the Philippines, and India, as well as interviews with experts from environmental, scientific, business, and government circles. According to the film, the increasing frequency of such strong storms that cause damage and threaten lives demonstrates the realities of climate change and rising seas. Many coastal communities, for whom the impacts will be devastating, have been fighting against vanishing coastlines for years with mixed results, often having no choice but to abandon properties and move buildings. Adding to this conversation are the conservationists and scientists who feel the coastlines should be left alone for a multitude of different reasons. “Rising Tides” shows what has been done in the past with coastal erosion, what is being done now, what worked, what didn't, and what the coastal areas can expect in the future. The film screening is being co-sponsored by the Nantucket Coastal Conservancy, the Nantucket Atheneum, the Nantucket Civic League, and the Madaket Residents Association.

Opening this week in Hostetler Gallery, 42 Centre Street is an exciting exhibit curated by filmmaker Rajko Grlic` that is perfect for pairing with the Nantucket Film Festival. In “Cinematic Exposure, Scene One,” a very special exhibit by the collaborative duo hazart, has combined their devotion to the masters of cinema with their love of photography to produce an impressionism of movie memories. By capturing sequences and scenes of films they admire, hazart has found a method through which they can paint with the moving light of movies and create something both new and nostalgic; familiar and unconventional. Featured artists hazart have been working and creating together for fifteen years. After meeting at university, the friends began a joint effort towards creating unique works produced by a common goal, complimentary tastes, and commitment to knowledge, craft, and technique. While their background is predominately in filmmaking (writing and directing), photography has been a constant part of the team’s partnership through the years. Using the tools and insights gleaned from years on sets of motion pictures and episodic series, hazart struck out on their own, writing and directing five short films in just a few years — which have been seen around the globe—all while developing longer form works and discovering their artistic voice in photography and fine art. The artists describe their work as a “capturing technique”: “The idea of being able to mix our love of impressionism and cinema was exciting and our literacy in photography put us in the position to first unmask, and then expand to our own method, the techniques of Schulman and Sugimoto... we put our minds to work and came up with a capturing technique and post flow that yields images we are eager to share. We are excited to contribute another chapter to the rich body of work and philosophies of those artists who have come before us. By being distinctive, and editorial with our decisions to focus on sequences, we want to capture how movies unfold in our memories; not as entire pieces but as fragments and segments that fold flat, neat and beautiful, ready to unpack when they surface into our consciousness.” Don’t miss this intriguing exhibition at Hostetler Gallery all week!

ISLAND PAIRINGS

Toast to Film Fest by Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie Festivals are aplenty in the summertime of Nantucket. Almost every weekend you can find the island full of luminaries and experts of a certain craft, along with budding enthusiasts who wish to meet and greet the people who have somehow influenced their lives. The Nantucket Film Festival, celebrating its 23rd year, has used Nantucket as its home to promote the cultural awareness and appreciation of the art of screenwriting in the world of cinema. Numerous films have been inspired by or produced on the island. The people of Nantucket have also been open to receiving and viewing independent films that entertain and often times push you to consider important forthright social issues. No matter your genre of choice in film, here are some brief insights into a handful of movies being featured at NFF this weekend, along with a beautiful rosé wine for the perfect match.

A BEAUTIFUL DAY

IN THE

NEIGHBORHOOD

Many of generations have been avid fans of the late, great television show Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. While the show was aimed primarily at preschool aged children, it was appropriate for people of all ages. One of the many things Mr. Rogers was known for was the daily ritual of routine upon entering his home. He would take off his overcoat to hang in the closet and put on his zippered cardigan sweater, followed by donning his famous blue sneakers. Whether it was a visit to the “Neighborhood of Make-Believe” or meeting people in his own neighborhood, Mr. Rogers was always calm, pleasant, and just himself. Be sure to check out the documentary WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR to learn more about his life and great influence. Mr. Rogers was a longtime summer resident here on Nantucket, with a home on the western side of the island on Smith Point in Madaket. Mr. Rogers would have agreed that Madaket is a wonderful place to catch an alluring summer sunset. The beautiful colors in the sky are reminiscent of the pale pink hue found in the new release of Nantucket Vineyard’s Dry

Well-Kept Hedge

Sail Endeavor

by Robert P. Barsanti Close friends of mine are lucky enough to live at one of the right addresses. As a result, nine months out of the year they have no neighbors within a well struck two iron. In the summer, the street is a hive of activity. They tell a funny story of the new Nantucket. As the story goes, a new owner was visiting the house next to them and stopped by for a conversation. It was very brief; â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to grow the hedge two more feet. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re swingset is too loud.â&#x20AC;? My friends related this story to me with a smile, and I returned the favor. I have gotten used to this sort of behavior in May and June. The visitors come to look at their million-dollar sand and immediately establish a fortress of rights and privileges. They will park here, they will keep the music up loud, and they will mark off where they want the hedge to go. The well-kept hedge symbolizes all that these people see. It marks their property line with a thorny wall. It hides the house, people, and view behind a natural barrier. The height of the wall indicates the depth of the checkbook. A neat, thick, healthy, and impenetrable hedge requires a lot of care. Care is measured in dollars. Inside these green walls, presumably, the visitors can now watch television in peace. The final step in building a house on the new Nantucket seems to be encircling it in a hedge. Hedges are nothing new out here, but they are the opposite of what Nantucket was. Nantucket has never been a private place. All of those Quakers were forever checking on each other for â&#x20AC;&#x153;disorderly walking.â&#x20AC;? Those in-town houses were built tight to the street so that they could see everyone on the street and, conversely, everyone could see them. Good fences did not make good neighbors out here. Walking up Fair Street on a warm summer night was to tour through the families of all who live there. The new visitors would call us â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nosy Parkersâ&#x20AC;? and worse, but they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t giving us credit. Nantucketers care about their neighbors. Visitors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The visitors come to the island with the belief that they have paid for the Gold Deck and should get all the privileges due them, including the drink cart and the Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s table dinner. Their neighbors on the Silver Deck or in steerage just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter. Cutting in line at Stop and Shop has no consequences to a visitor. They just get back inside the hedges sooner. The beauty of the island has always been that visitors never last too long out here. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an island; the people you snub will serve you soup or will come out to unclog a toilet. You will need the good humor of the folks in steerage sooner than you think you will. The visitors quickly learn that the way to get the plumber to come to your house quickly is not to cut him off in the check out line. The visitors either learn this or they leave and go to the Vineyard. They love hedges over there. Another friend has a neighbor who loved his lawyer. The neighbor sent over a legal Cease and Desist order to prevent my friend from picking the blueberries that grew between them. My friend laughed and sent over a pie. That winter, one of the visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skylights collapsed under the ice. Instead of laughing at the misfortune, my friend called the owner in New York, recommended a contractor, and plywooded the hole himself. During the next summer, they were barbecuing together. The Nantucketerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best quality is a concern for others. He teaches it as best he can. continued on page 21

Osprey, (Pandion haliaetus) also known as Fish Hawks, are abundant on Nantucket this time of year. Their calls are familiar along most ponds and wetlands. Their nesting platforms dot the landscape all around the island. While these majestic birds of prey are now a fixture of early spring and summer on the island, that was not always the case.

ROAD TO RECOVERY If we go back 40 years or more, the story of Osprey is a very different one. Like many birds of prey around this time, their numbers were suffering in large part to DDT and other pesticides. This pesticide was widely used throughout the U.S. and would bioaccumulate through the food chain and be stored in the fatty tissue of the bird. These chemicals were later shown to significantly reduce reproductive success. In New England, and along the Atlantic Coast, the breeding population of Osprey was reduced to 10% of preDDT levels. In 1973, DDT was finally banned and legislation was passed protecting these birds. However, this only protected the birds in the U.S. Shooting of Osprey was another significant factor in their decline. In the 1970s and 1980s, many shooting deaths occurred in the Osprey overwintering grounds in Central or South America. New regulations and education have significantly reduced shootings throughout the Osprey range, however, shootings still occur at fish farms and other areas where Osprey are seen as a pest species.

...

AND

TODAY

At present, Osprey on Nantucket are a common sight. In fact, their return from overwintering grounds marks the unofficial beginning of spring. Individuals begin to arrive from Central and South America in mid- to late March and immediately start courtship and nest construction. Most of the time the nest miraculously survives the winter, so the Osprey build on top of the old nest. In the wild, they use dead trees as nest sites. However, since we tend to remove dead trees for safety reasons, we humans now construct nesting platforms for the birds. This also helps them avoid telephone lines, another surrogate for dead trees. On Nantucket there are more than 30 nesting platforms. In a 2016 count, there were 28 nest sites and 16 active nests (eggs laid). The platforms come in a variety of sizes, but generally they are old telephone poles put up with the help of National Grid cherry picker trucks. A flat platform on top offers a good spot for adding sticks and other nesting material. Osprey have high site fidelity and are loyal to their mates, meaning that they go back to the same nesting site yearly with the same mate. The male typically arrives first and begins adding nesting material back to the nest and defending territory. Depending upon time of arrival, Osprey will lay 2-4 eggs sometime between April and early May, with hatching occurring in late May or early June. This year, at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation, the Osprey nest visible from the office has already hatched young. While we can’t always see the chicks within the deep nest, the behavior of the adults has gone from incubating to continued on page 22

Celebrating 50 Years

This year marks the 50th Anniversary of Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Corner, and they are celebrating throughout the season. On Thursday, June 28, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll kick-off the fun with a day of local author signings, giveaways, refreshments, and Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memories. Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opened its doors at 3pm on June 28, 1968, and according to Mimi Beman, daughter of the founder Henry Mitchell Havermeyer (grandson of Maria Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger brother): â&#x20AC;&#x153;That memorable first day of bookselling on the corner of Main and Orange Streets was the beginning of a fascinating journey of learning, of triumphs, of a multitude of mistakes, and of growth.â&#x20AC;? The journey continues with owner/caretaker Wendy Hudson at the helm. See the calendar in this issue for events on June 28, and pick up next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s issue for more about this island icon.

Many come to Nantucket in their youth and get sand in their shoes, staying for years when they first envisioned only a summer. Not many of those end up like Kim Corkran: as much a part of Nantucket as Nantucket is part of them. Born and raised in Maryland, Kim first traveled to Nantucket in 1974 for a summer job at the Harbor House as a front desk clerk and switchboard operator: “It really was a switchboard back then, with all the plugins!” That summer she met and began dating Bruce, whom she later married, and they moved to Nantucket year-round in 1980. “I worked at various hotels, then at the dock with Bill Sevrens...

I started working in their marketing department out of Nantucket...It was fun and relaxed, but very busy. It was before 9.11...before the fast ferries...more people were flying. “My job evolved into donations and sponsorships on Nantucket.

Rosé 2017. The wine is made from a mélange of 56% Grenache, 39% syrah and 5% mourvédre, a typical blend used for making delicious rosés in the South of France. The grapes are sourced from the Rogue and Applegate Valleys in Southern Oregon, then “washashored” on island for their final phases of production. This crisp wine has notes of red apple skin and bright cherry. Best served chilled with take-out lunch from Centre Street Bistro and a sign of sunshine

THE

SPOTLIGHT

Summer romances are a “shore” thing to find on Nantucket, and while many of them end up in wedded bliss, not every relationship should make its way back to the shores of the mainland. TEN THINGS WE SHOULD DO BEFORE WE BREAK UP will be celebrating its world premiere this weekend on Nantucket. The storyline is “After Abigail, a single mom of two, becomes pregnant following a one-night stand with Ben, the unlikely pair try to make a go of it.” The movie stars Christina Ricci and Hamish Linklater and was directed by Galt Niederhoffer. It seems that everywhere you turn these days, you can find a list of what you should be doing paired with any life event. The perfect pairing for a “to-do list” of this length should be a magnum size bottle of Commanderie de Peyrassol Cotes de Provence 2017 en magnum/1.5L. The fruity flavors of a blend of cinsault, syrah, and grenache are nicely sharpened with a touch of mourvédre. Its

appealing rosy appearance then leads to an aromatic nose of gooseberry, raspberry and a touch of minerality, followed by a crisp, silky finish. You might need an extra large popcorn sans butter with this large format!

SHORT

BUT

SWEET

A short film is any motion picture that is not long enough to be considered a feature film and has a running time of less than 40 minutes. For those of you with a short attention span, this may just be your calling! Short films are often screened at independent film festivals, such as the Nantucket Film Festival, and have a low to no budget at all. They are often personally funded, or sometimes with the help of a sponsor, and an excellent way for filmmakers to gain experience or showcase their talents in hopes of future funding. MOTHER, MOTHER is one of many short films featured this weekend. The ever-brief synopsis is about a mother who takes an overnight getaway. The short film is directed by Robert Machoian and Rodrigo Ojeda-Beck, who met during film school at California State University. Short films demand short bottles to ensure the wine is finished in a timely fashion with the rolling of the movie credits. Miraval Cotes de Provence 2017 375ml is the apropos pint size bottle needed for this such endeavor. Even more so, this winery and vineyard are owned by filmmakers Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie and the site where the couple was wed. The red grapes of cinsault, grenache, and syrah are joined with a touch of the white grape rolle, which is the secret ingredient to toprated rosé wines of the region. This pretty pale pink wine has intense aromas of fresh red fruit and continued on page 20

SETTING BOUNDARIES Navigating family relationships can be hard. Feelings are easily hurt, lines are constantly blurred and everyone has an opinion. To make it even more exciting, let’s throw in a road trip. In the movie BOUNDARIES, the mom Laura (portrayed by Vera Farmiga) and her son Henry (Lewis MacDougall) drive her estranged, pot-dealing, carefree father Jack (Christopher Plummer) across country to live with the sister after being kicked out of a nursing home. Director Shana Feste takes us on a family journey with some unusual curves in the road that make you feel like your clan may be somewhat normal after all. In order to deal with all the personalities present in this narrative film, the perfect wine for helping to set and maintain boundaries is Pascal Jolivet “Attitude” Rosé 2017. Pascal Jolivet is well known for his whites from Sancerre and across the river in Pouilly-Fumé. However, he wanted to create a high quality Loire collection of wines from the valley itself and not just from a specific area. This rosé wine is a result of this reflection and his aptitude in working with the region and corresponding grape varietals. Made from dominantly Pinot Noir with a splash of Cabernet Franc and Gamay Noir, this wine offers a unique sensual color due to the direct pressing of the grapes. This medium bodied wine is flesh with ripe fruit flavors and a pleasant minerality on the finish. Attitude, raw oysters and the ocean are a tantalizing trifecta! One of the amazing things about the world of movies is that there is a genre for everyone. From comedy to drama and many themes in between, we can often relate to the characters on the screen or simply be entertained by them. This is also true in the world of wine, where there are wines in many price points, from different regions and a vast array of grapes, making your pairing possibilities of the two endless. Each is special in their own right based on the many factors that make it what it is as a whole. As Mister Rogers always said, "You always make each day a special day. You know how: By just your being you/yourself.” Cheers to that!

Well-Kept Hedge from page 7

I am afraid we have too few Nantucketers these days and are putting up too many hedges. Those two close friends have both sold their lottery tickets and have moved on to the woods of western Massachusetts and Vermont. Dozens of others look around, listen to the realtors and sell while they can. If history is any judge, many of them will regret giving up what they had. However, the island that they had has drifted into the past. The island of the future could be an island of more and more exclusive clubs, where the richest of the plutocrats whittle down the membership lists into a platinum razor’s edge of greed and jealousy. Each club will be its own green fortress, walled by photo by Alice Breed hedges, and serviced by an off-island staff kept in employee housing. Edouard Stackpole saw it in 1961 when he predicted: It will be an island of “caretakers, contractors, gift shops, and lodging houses.” Even he couldn’t see the money getting so steep as to buy up the lodging houses as well. If Nantucket is to remain distinct from the Hobe Sound-Aspen axis, we need to fight those hedges. The wheeling flock of seagulls will always circle for the next best thing. When the island is appropriately parceled off into hedged-in squares, they will move onto the next open space and parcel that off in thorns. Our fortune doesn’t come so much from the beach as from each other. As long as we keep looking out for each other, we will be Nantucketers no matter how high the shrubbery gets.

The chicks will photo by Vern Laux fledge in late July and early August. After fledging, the chicks stay with the parents for 2-3 months. This is a great time to observe these amazing birds as there are parents, fledglings, and juveniles flying all around the island. The Osprey’s diet is 99% fish, so that is why we primarily see them active around our ponds, harbors, and shorelines. They have excellent eyesight, enabling them to spot prey in water from high above. Unlike many other species, Osprey are able to completely submerge themselves underwater when hunting for prey. Because of this, they have very dense plumage that keeps them from getting soaking wet when diving. They also have specialized nose valves that prevent water from getting up their nostrils when they dive. As soon as the Osprey hits the water, the valves close immediately. In order to reduce drag while in flight, Osprey have adapted to rotate their fish prey to be parallel with their bodies. This minimizes the force of wind and makes getting back to the nest easier and faster, as it is more aerodynamic. Osprey have two toes that face forward while the other two face continued on page 23

backward, allowing them to hold the fish more efficiently. Spicules on their talons act like barbed hooks allowing them to tightly grasp the wiggling fish. Just like the tourists who flock downtown in the summer, when it starts to get cold in September to November, our Osprey migrate hundreds of miles back to Central and South America. While none of the Nantucket birds are currently tracked, many individuals from along the Atlantic Coast have been outfitted with radio transmitters and/or GPS trackers to aid researchers in understanding more about Osprey migration patterns. Through programs like Animal Tracker and Movebank (movebank.org), you can track migration of Osprey and other species in real time. Unfortunately, many Osprey that had been tracked for multiple seasons were lost in the intense hurricane season of 2017. Multiple storms which ravaged Texas and Puerto Rico hit while Osprey were moving through these regions on their way south. New transmitters are being placed on birds this season, and we will be able to keep track of a new class of Osprey. There are many places around Nantucket where you can view Osprey and their nests from a safe distance. The Linda Loring Nature Foundation has three nests visible on their property and often has a spotting scope trained on the most visible nest. The Nantucket Conservation Foundation has multiple nests on their properties, most notably Sanford Farm and Eel Point. The Nantucket Land Bank hosts the Jackson’s Point nest in Madaket, which is easily visible by car from the end of Massachusetts Avenue. photo by Toby Sackton

lent service is, was, and should always be. The attention to detail is unsurpassed and undeniable, managing to ignore trends yet remain on the cutting edge of cuisine. Excitement was in the air as our main courses were presented. The Medallions of Medallions of Cod Cod takes a simple seaside staple and shows everyone what it could be. Flaky white fish flecked with herbs and grill marks rested on dollops of celery root puree alongside grilled asparagus and sliced eggplant. Fresh summery smells and flavors were aplenty. The Vegetarian Risotto is so rich and complex, we could hardly believe it was meatless. Surely there must be some kind of pan sauce at play? Seasonally crisp and colorful flavors are enhanced with mushrooms and leeks, but the decadent white truffle butter makes it a meal. Boneless Beef Short Ribs are a comfort food favorite for many, and we loved experiencing the upscale version. A generous, spoon tender Vegetarian Risotto portion awaited us on a gentle horseradish spaetzle, a kind of German gnocchi. The horseradish is dialed down to a point where one can actually appreciate the flavor without the often harsh, eye-watering burn. It makes the perfect compliment to the savory short ribs, while thin cut crispy fried tendrils of leek add an aromatic and earthy zip. Our finale, the Dover Sole, was not only the table favorite but is also a Chef’s choice. There are two options for the preparation: grilled with a beurre blanc sauce or sautéed with a meunière. The meunière popped with lemony brightness and a burst of capers and fresh parsley, and the tomato was so fresh and sweet it took the dish to the next level. Two stacked fillets of sole provide enough to share, but we didn’t have an easy time doing so. The thin sear on the fish hides pristine flaky flesh, and we were pleased with

the pair of potatoes as they were a nice device for soaking up the sauce. As you might have assumed by the name, a fine dining experience is only half of what Ships Inn has to offer. The island’s prized, historical landmark also provides all of the classic comforts, modern conveniences, and more at a most convenient location. Not only is it located just two blocks from Main Street, they boast a breakfast buffet served daily, plenty of street parking, air conditioning, beach chairs and towels… The list goes on. We don’t always plan ahead for dessert, but you’d be crazy not to at Ships Inn. The restaurant is renown for their Soufflé, an amazing airy end to a meal that can take the duration of dinner to prepare. We ordered both the divinely decadent chocolate and the French classic Grand Marnier soufflés before deciding on our first course. The desserts are presented tableside with a drizzle of creme anglaise: and they leave the pitcher of this light, pourable vanilla infused custard on the table so you can add more as you go. It adds just enough weight to the cloud-like soufflés. The chocolate was incredibly rich with an intense dark depth. The Grand Marnier had a hint of orangey citrus and was a refreshing Strawberry Rhubarb Cake contrast. Cool, refreshing flavors are usually my first choice for after dinner delights, so the Key Lime Tart and the Strawberry Rhubarb Cake definitely delivered. A buttery crumbly crust held the smooth and sweet tangy lime tart, while the bites of hot, cold, sweet, and sour kept us coming back to the cake. Ships inn has been pleasing patrons for more than a century and we’re sure that the current restaurant, now in its 28th year, will continue serving our island with its consistent and classic character and an unbeatable upscale experience.

She was the one who arranged the many customer appreciation days at Nantucket Airport, organized Christmas parties at Our Island Home, and spearheaded many other community service projects sponsored by Cape Air. But she didn’t stop there. “My first volunteer job was at the NHA — making prints from their collection of glass plates. Then Mimi Young had me sit at the nurses station (at Nantucket Cottage Hospital) and answer phones,and through that volunteering and Mimi, I got involved with Friends of Nantucket Public Schools and met so many people...That’s the beauty of Nantucket: you can be as busy as you want or just sit back and relax...” During her more than 25 years on-island, in addition to her day job, Corkran also volunteered (sometimes leading the charge) at Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce, Nantucket Cottage Hospital, MSPCA, the Artists Association, and the Nantucket Historical Association. Through sponsorships and volunteering, Kim found herself at the center of many island favorites: Daffodil Festival, Christmas Stroll, Nantucket Wine Festival, Nantucket Comedy Festival, and the Nantucket Film Festival. She laughed and added “It’s afforded me an opportunity to schmooze and Kim at the Nantucket Wine Festival booze with the best of them.” “I grew up in a family that was always very involved in nonprofits — it was ingrained into me to give back through volunteering. Plus there were many people who were very persuasive in their asks,” she smiled. “I find Nan to be very generous and love that the organizations partner and help each other.” While she found her work with every island organization very fulfilling, it is the NHA that is very close to her heart. “I truly loved working with the NHA and was on the board when the NHA was dreaming of redoing the Whaling Museum. I was president of NHA during their centennial year—1984, when the NHA turned 100—and we did the fete...we closed Main Street, dressed in period clothing, and celebrated. It was a huge undertaking but really fun. The Town really got involved, too. That year, my mother said “you know you should do an event a month,” and so we did. That was when the Festival of Trees started...My Mom made me do it!” This May, after 24 years with the airline, Kim Corkran retired from Cape Air “It’s time for my next chapter...I absolutely loved this job: it enabled me to travel all our routes. And on Nantucket, I loved it because for so long I was asking people for things and now I could give things... It was a fun flipflop. The company is very generous. It’s been a great ride. “I’m going to give myself some breathing room; see my friends, go to the beach, spend time with family—I’m giving myself the summer off! Looking forward to doing things that I haven’t had time for...I might pick up basketweaving again — hopefully it will all come back to me.” Corkran plans to divide her time between her family home in Maryland and the home where her heart is, Nantucket, where she plans to visit at least once a month, “Even in the winter — I love it here in the winter.” She’ll definitely be back this December: the Nantucket Historical Association has asked her to be honorary chair of the 2018 Festival of Trees. When asked what advise she would give to people just starting out in business on Nantucket Island, she recommended networking: “Join the Chamber of Commerce, take an interest you have and VOLUNTEER... Embrace whatever comes your way.”
