Alfresco Art in the Atheneum Garden FRENCH SOLE SUMMER 2018 This Saturday, June 30, the Artists Association of Nantucket (AAN) will hold it’s first 2018 Sidewalk Art Show in the dappled summer sun of the Nantucket Atheneum garden, India Street. More than twenty AAN’s artist members will be available to discuss art and sell their works. The outdoor art show is free and open to the public. First of the season, but not first ever: founded in 1930 by artist Maud Stumm, Nantucket’s Sidewalk Art Show is the oldest in the nation! Originally held for a few days in August, it was open to professionals and amateurs alike. “In 1960. AAN took the reins of the event, and it is now one of our signature offerings. We are proud to be part of such a historic and popular island tradition,” said Cecil Barron Jensen, AAN executive director. “It predates the Artists Association by fifteen years.” In her book, From Clotheslines to Canopies: A History of Outdoor Art Fairs in America, Kathleen Eaton states that, “the earliest art fairs of record in America that are still in operation began during the start of the Great Depression. The first, founded in 1930, was the Nantucket Sidewalk Art Show—a small local event based on similar street fairs found in Europe.” “With an 88-year history, the sale has quite a following and is a great way to meet some of the island’s most popular artists, all of whom are pleased to discuss their art and explain their techniques,” said Robert Frazier, curator of exhibitions. The AAN Sidewalk Art Show starts at 10 am on Saturday, June 30, and continues till 3pm. To learn more about the Artists Association and their many classes, programs, and exhibitions, visit the website at nantucketarts.org.

Mitchell’s 50th by Suzanne Daub This Thursday, June 28, a Main Street landmark shop, Mitchell’s Book Corner, kicks off its 50th anniversary celebration with a day of local author signings, giveaways, refreshments, and Mitchell’s memories, and the promise of more fun to come! In the day of Amazon, Kindles, prime shipping, and the Internet, it is no mean feat for an independent bookstore to not only survive, but thrive on our island. Two of the people to credit for Mitchell’s reaching the half-century mark are both named Wendy. Mitchell’s Book Corner opened on June 28, 1968, founded by Henry Mitchell Havemeyer and Mary Allen Sargent Havemeyer. But in more recent decades the face of the business was undoubtedly their daughter Mary “Mimi” Havemeyer Beman, who described her connection to Nantucket during an interview some years ago: “Nantucket for me started before I was even born...I am descended, I think, sixteen times from Tristram Coffin, so I have Nantucket roots going back from the beginning...Maria Mitchell’s brother (Henry Mitchell) was my great-grandfather. He had an only daughter, who in turn had a favorite son, who was my father...they were extremely close...then I was very close to my father, so I feel a real line, a real bond, back to that Mitchell level...Maria Mitchell was a real icon in our family...” The Havemeyers summered on Nantucket from the early 1960s, then decided to move to the island year-round and start a bookstore. Mary Havemeyer’s brother was president of Doubleday Book Company, which at the time, owned dozens of bookstores around the country. Mary and her daughter Mimi went to work in two different Doubleday stores “to learn a little bit about what we were doing in this project of opening up a bookstore. I went to work in the summer of 1967,” Mimi explained, “at the store on Fifth Avenue, NY, and commuted up here...It was a little awkward: I was getting paid 60 cents an hour, but my uncle would come and pick me up in a limousine right at the front, whisk me away on the Doubleday plane to come up to Nan-

America Is Hard to See

Sail Endeavor a Nantucket tradition. established 1982

by Robert P. Barsanti The Fourth of July slips onto Nantucket under cover of fog and in a long series of jammed ferry boats. Then, on a someday around noon, we find ourselves stuck in traffic by the high school in front of New Jersey and behind Connecticut. The Fourth is a week when “we have to put our mind on how to crowd and still be kind.” This year, the holiday brings a richer dread. The happy traditions of the water fights, the pie eating, and the fireworks will happen when the rest of the nation is staring at the mirror in wonder, shame, and shock. The wet crowd of white faces will still smile on Main Street, but may God protect the MAGA hat-wearing Patriot and the Honduran dishwasher. Out here, the Fourth of July has always required a willful act of disbelief and an ignorance of history. From thirty miles out, America is hard to see. In the course of human events, Nantucket tried to remain neutral in the Revolutionary War and was, if anything, more inclined to the British side than to the Mainland. The Quakers loved silver more than flags—they would have been in favor of whichever flag would bring in the most silver. At the end of a long war and an annihilated whaling fleet, Nantucketers stumbled and grumbled into the new country. America is not a country so much as it is an idea—and that idea could be a hope or a lie depending on where you sit. “One nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all” doesn’t quite have the same sound in the plantations of Alabama, the slums of St. Louis, or the detention facilities in Texas as it does on our sunny and wet cobblestoned Main Street. Our Fourth of July walks soaking and dripping out of a Rockwell illustration; we mustn’t be fooled into thinking it is that way for everyone, even on-island. We are surviving a hard year. The difficulties of this year are not special; the challenge continued on page 12

ISLAND PAIRINGS

Best Reds for Your All American BBQ by Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie Summertime is finally here and while you are excited to be grilling on your new Weber, the precious sun-filled days on Nantucket are oftentimes better spent not having to cook (or clean up) for yourself. With the abundance of culinary destinations that this small island has to offer, this gives you the opportunity to stay at the beach a little longer, cast your line in the surf a few more times or just relax by reading the new murder mystery by Nantucket author Elin Hilderbrand. Here are some suggestions for the best All American BBQ take-out options available on Nantucket, along with the perfect wine pairing to enjoy while licking your fingers clean instead of having to do the dishes. ANNYE-body who is hungry will agree that Annye Camara of her eponymous Annye’s Whole Foods is THE go-to for healthy eating and lifestyle on Nantucket. Working with her in the kitchen to produce organic lunch specials during the week are distinguished, veteran island chefs Chris Morris and Stephanie Silva. While Fri-yay lunch happens to be an All-American offering with a selection of BBQ ribs served with waffle fries and creamy coleslaw, they also prepare a revolving selection of other bbq essentials including burgers, pulled pork, and fried chicken. These options are great for that last day of the work week lunch or to pick-up early to have for the start of your weekend dinner. Either way, you know that they are made with the best ingredients for your body, soul and in respect to Mother Earth. The planetary wine pairing to match the ethos of such a meal would be Soter Vineyards “Planet Oregon,” Pinot Noir, Oregon 2016. Winemaker and Nantucket Wine Fest luminary Tony Soter, along with his wife Michelle, have a commitment to producing quality wines in a way that treads softly on the earth with an ardent reverence for the environment. Grapes are farmed sustainably and the green winery monitors its energy use and waste during wine production. This wine is loaded with aromas of fresh red berries, cinnamon and a hint of woodsmoke. Raspberry and cherry cola flavors with a tangy acidity greet you on the palate with a long, gently tannic finish. This superb value of a sexy pinot noir comes in a convenient screw-top closure, easy opening for BBQ laden fingers. When you are looking for a delicious burger—and not just any burger— Nantucket restaurant Proprietors Bar & Table is THE place for their Monday burger night. Every week Chef Michael LaScola features a take on his burger creation that never ceases to amaze and always outdoes the week prior. Burger fans flock to the bar early on this day (they open at 5 pm), without even knowing what this week’s concoction might be, to ensure they get one and avoid disappointment when these tasty limited-edition burgers run out each week. Not always knowing the exact components of your burger means you need an all-purpose wine that will deliver with a variety of options. Lucinda & Millie, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendocino County 2016, is an excellent option

More than Just a Pretty Picture Dr. Sarah Treanor Bois Director of Research & Education at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all heard of them. Many of us on Nantucket have seen them hovering over our coastlines and possibly in our backyards. And then there is that buzzing sound. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about drones. Sure, aerial photos of the 4th of July water fight are great, and many real estate agents have been able to showcase a property or two with this amazing technology. However, there are many applications for this tech beyond tourism and real estate. Unmanned aircraft systems have been used for construction, search and rescue, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. Recently, a group of Nantucket scientists, conservationists, and educators delved into using unmanned aircraft systems to map and monitor non-native invasive plants. The Nantucket Pond Coalition, the Nantucket Land Council, and the Linda Loring Nature Foundation teamed up in 2016 with off-island consultant, Ron Fortunato of Trillium Learning, to use drone technology to map non-native invasive plants on some of Nantucketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major ponds. Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst also helped with mission planning and technical assistance for this project. This was a first for Nantucket collaboration, opening the door for a multitude of scientific applications. Surveys were conducted over two days in November of 2016, covering Long Pond, Hummock Pond, and Miacomet Pond. These surveys were targeted at mapping the non-native invasive Phragmites australis (Giant Reed). Because Phragmites causes large monoculture stands along pond edges, this system is a good test of the resolution of the drone technology and imaging. The drone used for this survey was a DJI Inspire 1. The Zenmuse X5 camera is a separate component which captures 16 MP full HD images and records video in 4K resolution. Even in winds, the images are crystal clear; a 3-axis gimbal system stabilizes the camera to respond to different flight and weather conditions. This gimbal is capable of maintaining stability even in 20mph winds, a common occurrence on Nantucket. Another integral part of the equipment is the GPS, which provides accurate coordinate positioning so that the drone knows exactly where to fly. When flying for ecological purposes, the drone needs to fly along a precise, preprogrammed route. To conduct the surveys, the drone is programmed to fly over the pond edges taking a picture every few seconds. At the end of all the flights is when the magic really happens and postprocessing begins. The individual photos are seamlessly meshed together using computer software to create a high definition image of the pond. This image is georeferenced and is ready to use in any GIS software. The tech is ideal for ecological surveys as the starting and ending points of survey transects as well as the altitude can be programmed into the drone. This makes for systematic and constant surveys throughout. Based on the image results from these surveys, the differences in vegetation are clearly visible and the Phragmites stands can be easily distincontinued on page 14

tucket because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be coming for the weekend.â&#x20AC;? Thanks to their connections with Doubleday, the Havemeyers hired a bookstore architect to transform the corner building at Main and Orange from a dark, uninviting menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing store into a bright, welcoming world of books. Henry Mitchell Havemeyer had extensive experience and talent in graphic design and art direction, and he was determined to create the perfect logo for the store. What he came up withâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an oval shape around an illustration of the Charles W. Morgan with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Cornerâ&#x20AC;? written around the borderâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;became a Nantucket icon. Mimi worked summers at the bookstore through college and graduate school. In 1978, after the death of her mother (her father had died in 1975), Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Corner ownership passed to Mimi. Everyone who passed through the doors of Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Corner during the 1980s and 90s knew Mimi as the passionate owner who seemed to always be able to steer her customers to books they would love. Many were convinced she had read every book ever written. Generous, smart, brutally candid yet kind, she was a mentor to many island authors and an stalwart supporter of reading. Just two years before she passed in 2010, Mimi â&#x20AC;&#x153;retiredâ&#x20AC;? after selling the historic building to philanthropist and summer resident Wendy Schmidt. Mimi remained with the store as a consultant until shortly before she became ill. The main goal of Wendy Schmidtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s island organization ReMain Nantucket was â&#x20AC;&#x153;to preserve the character of Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s while greatly improving the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s structure, energy efficiency, and handicap accessibility. We created a flexible open floor plan on the second floor so that...the space can be used for book-selling and to host community events, classes, meetings, author dinners, and more.â&#x20AC;?

A Nantucket resident since 1995 (and summer visitor long before that), Wendy Hudson worked at Nantucket Bookworks before purchasing it in the late 90s from Pren and Patti Claflin. When she heard that ReMain Nantucket was looking for someone to run Mitchell’s, Wendy submitted her proposal, thinking that it would benefit both island bookstores to be run under one umbrella of ownership, and ReMain agreed. Long-time staff member Suzanne Bennett sees some of the same amazing force that Mimi Beman had in Wendy Hudson. Commenting on Beman’s ability to pair customers with the perfect book, she added “Wendy, also, is very good at that.” When Mitchell’s Book Corner and Nantucket Bookworks joined forces in 2012, it greatly strengthened their ability to compete and to differentiate more fully. “For Wendy,” Bennett explained,”it’s been really important for Mitchell’s to keep its personality and for Bookworks to keep its personality.” The stores now can offer a greater selection of titles for sale, have expanded the famous Nantucket Room, and have been adding events and outreach, increasing staff, and partnering more with local organizations. That expansion included the founding of the acclaimed Nantucket Book Festival, which continues to elevate books in the minds of island residents and visitors and provides procontinued on page 11

grams for Nantucket students. Says Hudson “Through fifty years, independent bookselling on the island has seen the rise and decline of chain and big-box bookstores, the rise and flattening of e-books, and the rise and rise of Amazon, yet still here we are. This is due to the efforts of many people over the years who have one powerful thing in common: an abiding love for the special place bookstores have in our community. Above all, credit goes to ReMain Nantucket for implementing the model that sustains the store’s viability. “Going forward, we hope to expand our selections of books in other languages and are exploring models for Community Supported Bookstores to strengthen our base to innovate and evolve while upholding our traditions for the next fifty years and beyond.” “It’s pretty remarkable to consider this core business on Main Street, Nantucket, has been in steady operation for fifty years,” Wendy Schmidt commented. “That means generations... have streamed through the doors of Mitchell’s Book Corner, returning decade after decade to find that perfect book that will enrich their lives, their thoughts, and imaginations.”

of seeing America has always existed. What makes this year different and difficult is that we cannot look away. In 1942, though, we looked away. Granted, Germany and Japan grabbed our attention, but Executive Order 9066 was not the most American of moments. With that piece of paper F.D.R. forced the relocation of 125,000 Japanese Americans to desolate prison camps. One of those camps, Manzanar, fenced in 10,000 Americans in the Owens Valley, on the northern edge of the Mojave Desert and on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada. In the winter, the temperature would fall into the upper thirties and in the summer, the desert would heat into the hundreds. History remembers these victims. Ansel Adams and Dorothea Lange took pictures of the imprisoned families, against the backdrop of desert and mountains. Dorothea, the photographer who captured the Depression so well, captured the tragedy of the removal from homes, the suitcases, the buses, the trains, and, finally, the camps themselves: whipped by wind, drifted in dust, and baked by the desert. She captured it so well that the government buried her pictures for decades. Ansel Adams’ pictures did not get buried. Photographing at the camp, he portrayed the inmates in a heroic light, often against the backdrop of the Sierra mountain range. His subjects look directly into the camera and smile or pose. While it might be propaganda, Adams appears to have been very impressed by those that he met. When he gave the images to the National Gallery, he wrote that the images “show how these people, suffering under a great injustice, and loss of property, businesses, and professions, had overcome the sense of defeat and despair…” In modern America, we identify with the victims. When I read about Manzanar and saw the photographs, I imagined what I might do if I was imprisoned in one of these camps. In the words of the victims, I hoped to show “Gaman” (enduring what seems unbearable with dignity and grace) and “Shikata Na Gain” (one should not concentrate on the things one cannot change). Of course, as a middle-aged white man, this is a generous self-deception. I no more fit among those young Japanese faces than I would fit among the young Guatemalan faces in the cages in Texas. My race and gender puts me on the other side of that fence. At Manzanar, Ralph Merritt also stood on the other side of the fence; he ran the camp. A middle-aged white man, he left a career in raisins to serve the war effort in the Owens Valley, at the feet of the Sierra Nevada. Nobody took his picture and history has forgotten him, save for one oral history project and a garden in desert. But that garden was a remarkable space. The Pleasure Garden in Block 22 began as a project among the imprisoned Japanese, but it became the way to bring the jailed and the jailor together. The jailed left the grounds to scour for trees and flowers to bring inside the fence: the jailers snuck material through the bureaucracy. The Pleasure Garden (in the Mojave) eventually included several ponds, rock gardens, a rustic bridge, teahouses, a waterfall, and roses. Merritt was so proud, he took home movies of it and invited Ansel Adams to photograph it. Before the camps was disbanded, the builders renamed Pleasure Park after Ralph Merritt. Other then Merritt Park, history does not remember him. And the desert has reclaimed the roses. I harbor few illusions about Ralph. I am sure that he was a man of his time, seeped and stewed in the prejudices and small mindedness of a fiftyyear-old white man caught in a great war. But when he was tested, he stood up, burned bright, and illuminated a shadowy and foggy America. Like a more famous American, he “saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering, and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it.” America is hard to see. We hope that it lies out there, where Ralph Merritt left it, beyond the waves and mist: “One nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Best Reds for BBQ from page 7

to pair with your burger of the week. Winemaker Greg LaFollette crafts this red wine from 100% organically grown grapes certified by the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), sourced from family farms and independent growers. Dark berries and cassis on the nose are accompanied with notes of cedarbox and fresh tobacco leaf on the smooth palate. The long, seamless finish will have you coming back for more. Luckily, this wine is affordable enough for you to have two on hand just in case you need to open that second bottle. For Red Sox enthusiasts that prefer to watch the game at home, but don’t want to deal with preparing messy wings, then take-out from The Faregrounds is the answer. This homey, year-round, local restaurant has a lovely outdoor patio to enjoy during warmer weather, lots of big screen televisions to catch the latest game inside at Pudley’s Pub, and a quiet dining room setting is available for large parties and banquets. Get a Pudley Bucket of wings with your choice of sauce. Call ahead or order at the bar and have a drink with Abbott while you are waiting for your food to be prepared to-go. Being able to play well together with your wings is exactly what you will find in Bell Wine Cellars “The Scoundrel” Red Blend, California 2016. Winemaker Anthony Bell, based in Yountville of Napa Valley, creates the most appealing glass of wine in this proprietary blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. This wine offers juicy, bright fruit, and soft, sweet oak that make a wine full of flavor and freshness—perfect for the game and wings to match. Finely grained tannins and mouthwatering acidity perfectly frame the finish of white pepper and a note of cranberry. Bring out the Scoundrel and play ball! After eating a delicious BBQ meal, those of us who crave desserts will need a little something sweet to finish off the festivities. The Nantucket Bake Shop is the perfect solution for a selection of bite-size sweet morsels. Their almond macaroons, freshly baked cookies, and made-to-order cakes are baked daily at this year-round, family-owned bakery, and they go fast in the summertime. Be sure to get there in the morning or order ahead of time to ensure your cookie choices are available. While you’re there, pick up some delicious cranberry granola for breakfast the next day as well! Also keep in mind that they are closed on Sundays. Miss your Nantucket Bake Shop fix when off island? You can have it shipped directly to your door, or that of your family and friends, by ordering from them online. Create your own festive fireworks by pairing your sweet bites with Nantucket Vineyards Sparkling Cranberry Pinot Gris NV. The wash-ashore Washington State Pinot Gris grapes are blended with local Nantucket Cranberries. The cranberries are gently crushed and added directly into a tank with the wine. They macerate together for a few weeks to create a beautiful pinkish hue to the color and an essence of tart cranberry to the flavor. The cranberries are filtered out and the wine is lightly carbonated, then bottled. Voila a spectacular ending to a celebratory day! The benefits of grabbing a meal to go on Nantucket not only include the extra free time you will have available, but also the convenience of dining on your time frame, in the location of your choice and with your preferred beverage of choice for the ultimate experience! Remember this holiday weekend to enjoy responsibly and leave only footprints on our enchanted island.

guished. The drone surveys saved the Nantucket Pond Coalition a considerable amount of money, time, and effort in surveying the pond edges. If done with more traditional methods, a field person would use a hand-held GPS device to walk the perimeter of each Phragmites stand. Generally, that would take several, 8-hour days per pond, plus the need to use a boat for the pondside of the surveys. In contrast, all three ponds, Long, Hummock, and Miacomet, were able to be surveyed by drone in a day-and-a-half.

The data collected will be used to calculate the total area and volume of Phragmites for each pond. These images are also being used as a baseline to compare with future surveys in order to document expansion of populations and the results of possible management. Trillium Learning and local partners also used these surveys as an educational opportunity for the Nantucket School systems. Seth Engelbourg of the Linda Loring Nature Foundation and Emily Molden of the Nantucket Land Council worked with the Nantucket New School, the Lighthouse School, and the Nantucket High School to learn about using modern technology in ecology. Seth has also demonstrated the use of drone technology during the Nantucket Flying Association’s summer programming. The students learned about invasive species, technology applications, and drone logistics. continued on page 15

Beyond the pond surveys, researchers are contemplating the use of drones to conduct land-based surveys for other non-native invasive species such as Japanese Black Pine. Other non-profits are looking to the technology as a tool to provide a better understanding and potential interpretation of their properties. If you are interested in flying drones, check out the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) webpage: it has most everything you need to know about operating drones for recreational or business purposes: www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started. The B4UFLY mobile App helps determine if there are any restrictions or requirements at the location where they want to fly. If you want to fly drones for business, research, or any other non-recreational reason, you MUST receive authorization under Part 107 of the Small UAS Rule. On Nantucket, almost the entire island’s airspace is controlled by the Nantucket Memorial Airport. In order to fly a drone for any reason within the controlled airspace, you must seek permission from the Federal Aviation Administration Tower. See you in the sky!

ISLAND COOKING

Quick Fix by Maryjane Mojer Bartlett’s Ocean View Farm Cooking in my family is second nature, and growing up I thought that it was just something that everyone knew how to do; except for my Dad. It’s not that he couldn’t cook. He just didn’t need to. That man could make a meal out of anything without a pot or a pan, as long as it could include peanut butter. He used it like most people use mayonnaise. Every sandwich he made had a generous smear. He preferred creamy. When I say every sandwich, I mean every one! A favorite was whole wheat bread, peanut butter, bologna (can anyone of a certain age spell that without singing the Oscar Meyer song? I know I can’t!) and Iceberg lettuce. Dad would often have a half a sandwich, all the fixin’s, folded not cut, before dinner. He was a big bread eater, and would usually go through a half a loaf a day. Mom would always make sure there was a bread basket on the table as well, and there were never leftovers to put away. Dinner was always meat and potatoes and a vegetable, and Dad washed it down with a cup of piping hot black coffee. People often think that as a chef and a manager of a market on a farm, I go home nightly and cook amazing and elaborate meals. Though it’s true that I have access to great ingredients, and the knowledge and experience to make some really good food, by the end of the day a peanut butter sandwich (sans bologna and lettuce) is sometimes just the thing. Creating a delicious meal doesn’t always have to be a huge production, and I do sometimes get stuck in the “should” rut, as in, “I should have meat and potatoes and a vegetable along with a bread basket.” Once I let that go and give in to just using good, simple ingredients, it’s actually pretty simple to put a meal together quickly. With a little planning and plotting and prep, creating a delicious and simple meal can be really enjoyable. Cheese and crackers are usually something we put out when we have a continued on page 27

party or company for dinner. Tonight, after a long work day for me and a new trellis project for my husband, we made a very quick and satisfying dinner. I cut a pint of assorted cherry tomatoes into quarters and tossed them with a good pinch of kosher salt, a grind of pepper, and a plug of EVOO, putting them in a 16-ounce mason jar with a lid. I took a small piece of La Casera Samba Italian cheese out of the refrigerator to let it come up to temp, and opened a bag of farm grown mixed greens, pouring it into a large bowl along with sliced cucumbers, diced red onion, and shelled pistachios. While the salted tomatoes were eeking out their goodness and melding with the olive oil, I went outside and watered the pots of plants that I have all over my yard. (I do grow vegetables, though I work on a farm. A story for another day!) After about a half an hour, including a stop at the new trellis to lend my husband a hand, I meandered back into my kitchen. I used a fork to lightly mash up the tomatoes, added a bit more olive oil, (3/4 cup total) a half a teaspoon of dijon mustard and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, put the lid back on the jar and shook it well. Dijon is a magical ingredient. Oil and vinegar may mix a bit when shaken or stirred, but don’t blend and stay blended. Dijon (or most any mustard) is an emulsifier. Blended with the oil and vinegar, it will coat your greens rather than sit or slide off. I tossed my tomato vinaigrette dressing with the salad, and heaped it onto two plates. Generous slices of the cheese layered on top of the salads, along with hefty shards of Red Barn Lavash finished it off. Quick, easy, & flavorful. One of my all time favorite quick dinners is Pasta Putanesca. Last fall, I was given a very special jar of tuna, that was canned and cooked with olive oil and salt. Though this one was home made and really special, there are several brands, Tonnino for example, of great tuna, ready to use. The sauce for this can be done by the time the past is cooked. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta till just done, and don’t rinse! (Rinsing gets rid of the starch. You want that starch to help the sauce cling!) In a large, heavy bottom pot, heat two tablespoons olive oil over medium. Add four cloves of garlic (more or less) thinly sliced. I like to use a truffle slicer to get it really thin.Add two or three anchovy filets, cooking until dissolved. Add two tablespoons of capers, preserved in salt, rinsed and drained. Add a half cup of pitted kalamata olives, roughly chopped. Add a 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes, and a quarter cup of chopped parsley. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer. Add one jar or tin of really great quality tuna. Drain the pasta, toss with the sauce; serve with fresh grated Parmesan.

Featured Restaurant: Dune

Distinctive, Delicious, Dependable by C. Oscar Olson Going out for dinner during the busy season can be challenging. Sure, it can sometimes be a fun and relaxing, ideally delicious experience. But it can also and all too often boil down to stressful, overpriced, and disappointing dining. With all of the alternatives on this tiny island, sometimes the latter is simply an inevitable part of the process. The other course to take is the third option: give up the gamble and choose Dune. Located conveniently on Broad Street in the heart of downtown, Dune is accessible and never stuffy or snobby. Three distinct dining rooms offer feelings of friendly sophistication; the evening brings out relaxing, comfortably lit lounging while dining during daytime invites loads of natural light in through the many windows. There’s also a breezy patio area just outside, perfect for lunch, dinner, and cocktails. The portions are perfect, so you’ll have a hard time leaving hungry; and the prices are so reasonable, your wallet can stay full, too. It’s truly fine dining for all. We walked in during the middle of the week on the earlier side of the evening and the main dining room was already humming. We were seated and greeted by a basket of fresh, slightly sweet bread and soft butter topped with a sprinkling of pink sea salt. We were not too far from the bar — this turned out to be a very good thing. Dune not only boasts a fine-tuned wine list tailor made for menu pairing, but also select beer, mocktails, and a full bar. Best of all, though, is bartender and cocktail connoisseur Lucas Hererra. Just 23-years-old, this is Lucas’ first season on the island, but not his first behind a bar. He hails from Minnesota where he honed his skills in mixology, and his focus is on pre-prohibition style classics with a modern twist. He sent us his favorite four. X Marks The Spot is what Lucas calls a “Patio Pourer,” so belly up to the outside bar because you might be here a while. It combines white and spiced rums, mango, lime, and coconut water to form a brilliant, refreshing, sipper made for the summer months. The Pink Slipper takes a jalapeño infused gin and mixes in lime, pink guava, and a splash of soda. The exotic fruit flavor is unique and satisfying with just the right sizzle. The next two drinks had more of a night-time feel. Hearts of Darkness takes the world famous Sazerac and kicks it up a few notches. Bourbon is enhanced with digestifs Averna and Campari and few dashes of absinthe, bitters, and sweet vermouth bring it home. The Italian ingredients frame the bourbon flavor beautifully while the rest of the mix enhance the herbaceous edge. Lastly was the tequila based Meadowlark. El Jimador Reposado marries Cynar and Pimm’s and is finished with a sprinkle of celery bitters. The liqueurs bring out deep, earthiness and oaky tannins in the tequila that might have otherwise gone overlooked.

Chef and owner Michael Getter likes to keep things fresh. The menu, consisting of about 16 options between first and main courses (plus specials!), is always on the move. For us, it’s just another reason to visit again and again throughout the season. With more than 20 years of industry experience under his belt, Michael knows how to work every angle of the restaurant. A graduate of Culinary Institute of America, he has catered for thousands in a sitting and at just 21 years of age was Executive Chef of island hotspot 21 Federal. From there he took on the role of chef/owner at the always acclaimed American Seasons, received the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for his efforts as a Sommelier, and worked briefly as executive chef of MAX Ultimate Foods, one of Boston’s primer catering companies. His accomplishments have been reported in several prestigious publications such as Bon Appetit, Gourmet, and The Boston Globe. Since soup was atop the menu, we thought it appropriate to start there. The Spring Pea Bisque is poured tableside: a cascade of verdant green, piping hot, and velvety smooth soup blends the bits of chives, lemon, and peas in a bowl together until just a peak of the lavender yogurt protrudes while edible flowers swirl to the surface. There was enough bite in the peas to contrast the smoothness of the soup, and the yogurts adds a bit of creamy brightness to every spoonful. The ACK Sweet Water Farm Greens Salad was the next logical step. A perfect pile of locally grown greens were tossed among cherry tomatoes bursting with sweetness, cool and crunchy cucumber, sweet and spicy basil, migas, and a perfectly tangy, sweet, and slightly bitter preserved lemon vinaigrette. The dressing enriched every bite and brought out the flavors in each piece of produce. Risotto is a cornerstone of high-end establishments like Dune, so our last order from the first courses was the “Cacio e Pepe,” or “cheese and pepper.” The rice was perfect and made extra creamy with pecorino and parmigiano broth. The once delicate flavor of the maitake mushroom is somehow boosted by black pepper, micro arugula, and crunchy pieces of pancetta. One of the specials of the evening was a cool, refreshing Tuna Tartare. Ruby red fish flirted with Asian inspired flavors and a crunch from spiced peanuts and nori. The often intense aspects of the other ingredients were quieted, almost neutralized, as the tuna acted as a delivery device for it all. Just when we thought we were ready for our main courses, Michael sent over what turned out to be one of the highlights of the evening, the Stir-Fry of Manila Clams. Quarter-sized clams were tossed until open with sweet Chinese sausage, ginger, scallions, lemongrass, fried garlic, and herbs. Beau-

tifully balanced, the subtle flavor of the clams still manages to shine through the other bold components. Ramen noodles help soak up the sauce but you might want to hang on to some of that bread I mentioned earlier. Every plate at Dune is a work of art. It is the Grilled Statler Chicken Breast food that dictates the dish and each one is a symphony for the senses. It is impossible not to take a moment to exhale, admire the presentation, and breathe in the aromas offered up. Moving on to main courses, the Pan Seared Wester Ross Scottish Salmon (cover photo) has one of the most perfect flakes we’ve laid eyes on. It’s served medium rare, and you wouldn’t want it any other way: tender and juicy alongside the al dente crunch of pearl onions, baby turnips, and carrots, all served on a bed of creamy green spring pea puree. The razor-thin fennel in the pea green salad and a few dollops of horseradish crema add that essential herbal zip to offset the savory, summery flavors. We were so glad we included the Grilled Statler Chicken Breast, and it just might change your mind about the standard go-to grilling grub. Marinaded in a garlic-sherry vinaigrette, the smoked paprika enhances the flavors from the fire. A sweet pepper relish carries those features further, lemon olive oil brings an indispensable citrus component, the crispy prosciutto sends over some salt, and arugula and sweet peas add some green. The hummus that surrounds it all is so light and airy we think it was whipped. The grilled Angus Sirloin took the word “elevated” to a whole new level. Cooked a perfect medium rare, sliced thin, and stacked high, the steak still proves tender under Angus Sirloin

a sprinkling of crunchy spiced peanuts, smoky charred green beans, and crispy tempura fried yucca reaching well above the table. A roasted poblano crema and emerald chimichurri made every bite a new adventure. For those who like a spicier side of life, try the Sautéed East Coast Halibut. A broth of coconut and lemongrass surrounds the wonderfully white flesh while baby potatoes, mushrooms, spring vegetables, and fried garlic mingle in the mix. The flavors in this dish are so complex yet so focused, and the fish is flawless and sublimely seared.

Grilled Bone-in Pork Chop

Once again Chef Getter thought we were missing something, so he presented us with the Grilled Bone-in Pork Chop. We loved the way soft, subtle apricots were used to compliment the boldness of the meat, while roasted sunchoke, chanterelle, and broccolini added some divine earthiness to the dish. A bacon miso jus kept things moist and enhanced the smokiness of it all. Sweet summer perfection. Dessert is far from my favorite course, but it is essential to save room for it at Dune. We tried a little bit of everything: the Pot de Creme was borderline sinful in its dark, dense, silkiness. It was crying for a cup of coffee, so we didn’t make it wait. On the lighter side was the Vanilla Panna Cotta. Naturally sweet, tart, and light as a feather, it was sized to share but we won’t judge. Dune also offers a range of house-made Ice Creams, Gelato, and Sorbets, too, so those looking for just a taste of something sweet can have their “cake,” too. Coconut Gelato was incredibly creamy with small bits of coconut for texture, Strawberry Sorbet was icy, bright, and vibrant. Chef Getter and Dune pride themselves on freshness and originality. Though the menu is ever-changing, their dedication to keeping produce local and seasonal, fish and meats select and regional, and customers happy and satisfied will never change. You can depend on it!

Leave only footprints... Nantucket has some of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in the world. Please respect Nantucket’s fragile environment and the beauty of our island. Clean up your litter, respect private property, and use only designated entry points. In areas where dune reclaimation is taking place, please do not cross the rope or fence barriers protecting the dunes.

BEACH SAFETY •Learn to swim. If you can’t swim an overhead stroke for at least 15 minutes you should not be in the ocean. •Never swim alone. Always swim with a buddy, and swim near a lifeguard whenever possible. •Stay out of the “surf zone” where the waves break at the shoreline. Waves are at their greatest force here, and even a small wave can lift you up and throw you headfirst into the sand. •Never run from the beach into the water and dive headfirst into the waves. Sandbars that cannot be seen from the surface may be present and/or the water may be too shallow. •Don’t jump or dive into the water from a pier or rock jetty. From a pier or jetty, water appears much deeper than it really is. What looks like 10 or 20 feet of water may only be 2 to 3 feet deep. Diving in could be fatal. The same applies for jumping headfirst into the ocean or a wave from a surfboard – don’t do it! It’s not a risk worth taking. •If you are body surfing or boogie boarding, always keep your arms out in front of you to protect your head and neck. •A rip current will pull you away from the shore, but it will not pull you under. If you’re caught in a rip current, do not swim toward the shore! Instead, swim parallel to the shore, until you’re out of the rip current. Then, swim in to shore. •Never drink alcohol or use drugs at the beach. It clouds your ability to make wise decisions, and that could be fatal! •Take direction from lifeguards at all times.
