Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

‘Sconset in Trust for the Future by Dr. Sarah Treanor Bois Director of Research & Education at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation Nantucket may only be about 14 miles wide, but there are still people who identify as west-enders and east-enders. Since I live in Surfside and work on Eel Point Road, taking a drive to ‘Sconset for a walk or trip to the playground seems like a holiday. Many have noted the particular charm of ‘Sconset Village as well as the beautiful ocean views along the Bluff Walk. Watching the sunrise from Low Beach you can feel the magic of the east end. There is one organization in particular whose mission is to preserve this historic character while also making life livable for ‘Sconset residents. This is the nonprofit organization, the ‘Sconset Trust. Founded in 1984, the original mission of the ‘Sconset Trust was to preserve open space on Nantucket’s east end. They explicitly wanted to protect smaller parcels in and around ‘Sconset. The mission has since expanded to protect the unique character of ‘Sconset Village preserving not only the open space, but the saving of historic structures and those with architectural significance around the village of ‘Sconset. Many people know the ‘Sconset Trust for the preservation of the Sankaty Head Lighthouse. The ‘Sconset Trust was responsible for the most recent move of the lighthouse in 2007, when they took ownership of the historic structure. But the ‘Sconset Trust cares for more than just the lighthouse. They continue to preserve the historic character of ‘Sconset Village as well as the green belt around the central village. Today the ‘Sconset Trust boasts over 130 acres of land. The most recent purchase was the former Coffin estate now known as Reddick Commons. The property lies to the east of the ‘Sconset golf course (formerly Skinner's). This now 59-acre property consists of freshwater wetlands, shrubs, and

Celebrating an Island Art Icon Celebrate with the Artists Association of Nantucket (AAN) this Friday, June 28 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, when they host a festive reception for Folk Tales to Fine Art: A John Lochtefeld Retrospective. On exhibit since June 3 in the AAN Visual Arts Center at 24 Amelia Drive, the show celebrates the life and artwork of long-time Nantucket artist John Lochtefeld. “This retrospective exhibition in John’s 50th year on Nantucket will delight everyone in the family with his whimsical subjects, where he often uses maritime subjects,� said Robert Frazier, AAN’s Artistic Director. It is an honor to put together this exhibition with a wide range of his work: woodcuts, intaglio prints, watercolors, oils, and sculptures in wood, along with John’s quotable wisdom.� Speaking about his art, John Lochtefeld says, “My work often has the quality of folk tales, but they are my tales.� His art is rich with the images of the unconscious and the fanciful. John Lochtefeld has been painting and printmaking on Nantucket for 50 years and Fair Street has been his home since 1973. Living year-round on Nantucket for 29 years, Lochtefeld can be found six days a week (during the summer) in his studio, working on new paintings or carving one of his wooden sculptures. He displays his art in his Fair Street gallery, Old Spouter Gallery, and in AAN’s Cecelia Joyce and Seward Johnson Gallery. “We are thrilled to host this show of the work of Nantucket icon John Lochtefeld. He has been a talented and steadfast artist member since 1969, and we are lucky to have his artwork grace our gallery walls all these years,� adds Courtney Bridges, AAN’s Executive Director. The exhibition will run through early September 2019 at the VAC Gallery, 24 Amelia Drive. Hours are Monday-Friday, 10 am to 5 pm.

Maria Mitchell, famed female astronomer, naturalist, and educator once said “We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more we are capable of seeing.� Her passion for education has inspired the Maria Mitchell Association as they continue to add more programs to their schedule, including their Science Lecture Series throughout the summer months. The month of July offers a jam-packed schedule of astronomers, scientists, and speakers who will enlighten audiences with everything from space, to osprey to environmental issues. This month there will be a special focus on the environment with regards to plastics and climate change, something that is at the forefront of environmental discussions all over Nantucket. Kicking off the environment-forward discussion this month is Jo Ruxton of Plastic Ocean UK. Her work as an environmentalist and documentarian in the award winning documentary, A Plastic Ocean, available for streaming on Netflix, explores the ways in which plastic has been detrimental to the ocean and surrounding communities. Ruxton will be followed by lectures like “Building Climate Change Resilience on Nantucket and Across the Commonwealth� presented by Undersecretary of Climate Change in MA, Katie Theorhides on Wednesday, July 17; “A Changing Climate a Changing Ocean� on Wednesday, July 24; and “CChange Conversations with Dr.Kathleen Biggins on Wednesday, July 31. With a focus on climate and the impact our choices make on the environment, these talks may inspire our island community to continue on a path of little changes that can make a big difference. Many restaurants and residents have partnered with the MMA and other local groups to pledge support to “Stop the Straw,� efforts to reduce the use of plastic straws across the Cape and Islands. Actions such as pledging support for “Stop the Straw� are one of the many ways the Nantucket community and visitors can learn how to keep Nantucket and our surrounding waters clean and sustainable. Audiences will be able to see the positive ways in which the ocean has been effected by sustainability efforts in Dr. Alan Poole’s presentation, “Ospreys 2019: The Revival of the Global Raptor� on Tuesday, July 30, a unique and exciting opportunity for kids and adults to learn more about the mystery behind this stately bird of prey. Other featured lectures will delve into the vast cosmos with astronomy talks like “The Dark Side of the Universe� on Wednesday, July 10 with Dr. Lindsay King and “Apollo 11: Quest to the Moon� on Monday, July 15 with Dr. Jennifer Levasseur. With every lecture presented at this month’s Summer Lecture Series, audiences will have the chance to engage with new and diverse presenters who will change the way you see the world. Admission to each lecture is just $10, or you can become an MMA member and be admitted free . A complete list of summer events can be found at www.mariamitchell.org.

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

Learning To Be a Nantucketer by Robert P. Barsanti Close friends of mine are lucky enough to live in 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; “We are going to grow the hedge two more feet. You’re swingset is too loud.” 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 multi-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, the people, and the 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 “disorderly walking.” 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 continued on page 28

apparent as we walked through the Hadwen House, which will feature museum pieces that span the eighteenth to twenty-first centuries on Nantucket. Each room contains dozens of sketches, artwork and museum pieces that tell a story about Nantucket. The new exhibition opens this Friday, June 28 and features Decorative Arts, Nantucket’s Architectural Legacy, Melville on Nantucket, and From Slavery to Suffrage: Two Centuries of Political Education on Nantucket. Elias hopes that the Hadwen House space will “expand capacity to show different aspects of island life and history” in a way that is “engaging and fun.” The unique and ornate Greek revival-style house at 96 Main Street stands out amongst its neighbors. Now owned by the Nantucket Historical Association, this stately structure was built in 1846 by William Hadwen, a prominent silversmith turned whale oil magnate. The Hadwen House still reflects an opulence that makes it a unique fixture in Nantucket history. Beyond the structure of the house is the rich history of its former inhabitants. William Hadwen and his wife, Eunice, were proponents of abolition and women’s suffrage and significant members in the whaling industry. The second floor, will tell the Hadwen’s stories alongside many important historical figures like Anna Gardner, Frederick Douglass, Lucretia Mott, and Paul Cuffee. The wellknown history of whaling will be displayed throughout the Melville exhibit, with fresh takes on race relations aboard the Pequod as well as an in-depth look at Moby-Dick in pop culture. Visitors be able to trace Nantucket history beginning with Nantucket’s Architectural Legacy, a room comprised of sketches that have been collected from places like the Smithsonian collection. The Nantucket Preservation Trust’s Michael May has joined Dan Elias in compiling the architectural designs that will be on display. While each exhibit on the second floor could stand alone, they all have a common thread of being able to “tell a story through personalities,” says Elias. “The team that is putting this together is remarkable,” says Elias as we walk past members of the NHA team that have come together to clean, con-

struct, and ready the Hadwen House for the newest exhibition. Special lights as well as temperature control have also been added so that more pieces can be showcased in each of the rooms: some have never before been shown in public. The first floor will feature the Decorative Arts components with clocks, furniture, textiles and china pieces. Many items will be displayed in an “open storage” setting so that more pieces can be displayed at once, a sort of “open arms to the collection” says Elias. Guest curator Dan Elias has spent the last twenty years working with museums, galleries, and contemporary art. Elias also spent the early 2000s as a host on the popular PBS Antiques Road Show. While he has not been a curator for the NHA before, and considers himself the “unorthodox choice,” his ability to find the “space where fine arts meets the real world” is evident. Each exhibit is more than just a photo or object, and instead tells stories in a way that have not been possible before. Visitors will be “pioneers” in the journey to turn the Hadwen House into a place where more of the NHA’s collections can be displayed and enjoyed. “I really like the notion of seeing how people use arts objects to find meaning” says Elias. Visitors will certainly have the chance to interact with many pieces in the exhibition and take away new perspectives on Nantucket history. As if the Hadwen House wasn’t magnificent enough on its own, the sprawling Victorian gardens that are just beyond, are not to be missed. The Nantucket Garden Club is responsible for the beautifully manicured garden that can be enjoyed from dawn to dusk. Among the lush plants, you will have the chance to delight in the art installation sculptures of Seward Johnson. Visitors will have an extra special opportunity to spend time in the gardens during the Afternoon Teas that will be held there beginning this Tuesday, July 2 on select afternoons at 2 pm. Ashley Santos, associate director of marketing for the NHA says, “We wanted to offer our visitors a chance to enjoy tea in the back garden of a Main Street mansion, like they may have done so many hundreds of years ago on a summer day.” Adults will be able to enjoy continued on page 23

grassland habitats. Purchased in 2012, this was a collaborative effort with the Nantucket Islands Land Bank. It is named after the late Perry Reddick who was instrumental in making this deal happen. There is an extensive trail system at Reddick Commons, which is open to the public and regularly maintained. Three different entrances will get you there: one on Burnell Street, another on Plainfield Road, and the main entrance off of Milestone Road. The Milestone entrance has ample parking. It may be right off of our state highway, but Reddick Commons is a quiet reprieve from the hustle and bustle of Nantucket summer. This hidden gem has the feeling of a secret garden.

line well-maintained trails. This is a different ‘Sconset from the rose-covered cottages and privet-lines properties. Preserving this property as a public wild space helps us see the ‘Sconset landscape in its natural state. The trails welcome bikers, walkers, and leashed dogs. ‘Sconset trust is continuing to improve the Reddick Commons experience, adding several benches and making improvements to signage. Meandering along the trails, you'll see native wildflowers, shrubs, small trees, and native vines; perfect habitat for wildlife: deer and rabbits, but especially birds. Part open and part shaded, the trails make for a nice dog walk or a decent ramble among the wooded landscape. You can easily forget that you are on a busy summer island as you stroll into the fog. It is a timeless landscape preserved for the community in perpetuity. Visit sconsettrust.org to download a map of Reddit Commons. Property ownership isn't the only conservation tool, however. The ‘Sconset Trust also holds conservation and preservation easements on private properties. These easements are an important conservation and preservation method to preserve the character of the east end. Easements protect a property for future generations by preventing further development, subdivisions, and restricting some uses. The ‘Sconset Trust was also instrumental in changing some of the zoning for ‘Sconset Village in 2012. The ‘Sconset Trust leadership worked with the Town of Nantucket to change some properties to Village Neighborhood (VN) zoning. This will help ensure the continuation of the village center, preserving some commercial uses. Having some commercial properties serving the neighborhood will maintain ‘Sconset as a village center not just as a Nantucket suburb. The ‘Sconset Trust continues to collaborate with on-island organizations as well as the Town to ensure the character of the east end of the island. Up next, they have their eyes on the 190 acre LORAN property at Low Beach. Formerly a United States Coast Guard LORAN Station, the station was decommissioned in 2010 and currently faces the threat of development. The site is host to numerous rare plant species and would be a welcome asset to the ‘Sconset Trust holdings. For details on the ‘Sconset Trust properties, fundraising events, and how you can support the organization visit sconsettrust.org.

Consistently the Best by Carl Oscar Olson In order for something to be the best, it has to be consistent. Achieving greatness again and again, no matter the challenges of the season, is one of life’s most difficult feats. It is all too easy to receive some recognition then take your hands off the wheel, to sit back and just follow the tide. Consistently hitting the mark isn’t easy, but it’s the only way Dune knows how to do it. Located in the heart of town on Broad Street, Dune is always friendly and fresh. Three distinct dining rooms offer feelings of relaxed sophistication: the evening calls for comfortably lit lounging while dining during daytime lets loads of natural light in through the many windows. The restaurant is complete with a breezy patio area just outside, perfect for food and drink at all hours of operation. We love the new splash of blue in the main dining area, Tuna eye-catching and enhancing the clean, contemporary decor. The restaurant was filling up in a hurry on a Wednesday evening: we were glad we had reservations. We snacked on some warm, subtly sourdough bread with their signature butter topped with pink Himalayan sea salt as we got comfortable with the menu. The first thing we noticed was the abundance of seafood being featured, as it should be on an island. Every dish sounded more tempting than the last, so choosing our starters was proving more difficult than usual. House-Made Burrata seems to be a trend this summer, and Dune has it down better than most. The char on the grilled broccolini compliments the natural bitter note in the fresh cheese, while sweet roasted tomato and rich balsamic bring out a sweeter complexity. Seedy sesame crackers add savory crunch to every bite. Fresh, sweet strawberries surprised and delighted us in the Local Organic Farm Greens as they are an uncanny compliment to the smoked blue cheese. This salad could serve as an entree with loads of lettuce and snap peas all mingling in a bodacious buttermilk chive dressing. The kitchen sent out one of the specials of the evening, another item that makes the rotations House-Made Burrata on many island menus.

But Dune’s Tuna Tartare is the best we’ve tried, with cool, crunchy cucumber and bittersweet green papaya. A coconut lemongrass broth below adds a subtle sweetness to the fresh tuna while the Szechuan peppercorn crackers above bring a bright, citrusy snap. A down-home dish is elevated in the Sautéed Wild Shrimp Tostada (cover photo). A crispy corn tortilla is decked out with succulent shrimp over an avocado crema, piled high with charred watermelon, radish, and cilantro. A chili-lime vinaigrette sets off every flavor, while a sweet potato-citrus puree heightens and brightens each component. We love being surprised by our favorite foods, and the Rhode Island Calamari “Puttanesca” is the best surprise. All of us were expecting the typical battered and fried version, but Dune does it differently. Tender, Tartare white squid is perfectly prepared in a sauce made rich beyond words with pancetta, braised fennel, and fermented tomato. Lemon caramelized vidalias and fried capers add just enough acid, while a sprinkle of migas on top provides a pleasant, airy crunch. Chef Michael Getter has been doing it at Dune since 2009. Renown since his days at 21 Federal and American Seasons, his friendly face is a fixture around town. He has made his restaurant on Broad Street an island institution—a restaurant you don’t want to miss—with help from his professional staff and his long-time Chef de Cuisine Joseph Ranstatler. Throughout the first course we sipped on some summer cocktails (cover photo) brought to life by Dune mixologist Josh. His drinks are dynamic, complex, and original, so join him at the bar for a taste with your dinner or snack on one of the kitchen’s stand-alone sides like farm tomatoes, baby bok choy, or shishito peppers with pomegranate molasses. The Spirit Guide is a clean and easy seasonal sipper we could get carried away with. It mixes Chilean Pisco, lemon/orange oleo saccharrum, Rhode Island Calamari “Puttanesca” and fresh lemon with the

Learning to be a Nantucketer from page 11

was to tour through the families of all who live there. The new visitors would call us “Nosy Parkers� and worse, but they aren’t giving us credit. Nantucketers care about their neighbors. 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 Captain’s table dinner. Their neighbors on the Silver Deck or in steerage just don’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. It’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 visitor’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 Nantucketer’s best quality is a concern for others. He teaches it as best he can. 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 hedges, and serviced by an off-island staff kept in employee housing. Edouard Stackpole saw it in 1961. It will be an island of “caretakers, contractors, gift shops, and lodging houses,� he predicted. 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.
