How does one achieve an international following and the admiration of former President Bill Clinton? Argentinian-born Luis Palau has managed to reach people and touch millions of lives with his ability to bring Christ to the masses. He has counseled and consulted with heads of state, sharing with them his message of positivity that transcends economic, political, and cultural lines. In addition to sermonizing for enormous crowds, Palau hosts an influential daily radio broadcast. The broadcast, available in both English and Spanish, reaches 21 million people in more than forty two countries. On Palau’s talent for empathy, Former President Bill Clinton remarked, “what struck me was [Palau’s] genuine sense of concern for every person he came in touch with...that’s something you can’t fake. He’s LUIS PALAU real.” continued on page 12

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket

30 years of Smiles, Toys, and Laughter by Cara Godlesky At the end of Straight Wharf sits a small yet iconic toy store called The Toy Boat. At front of the shop is an antique purple captain’s steering wheel from an old ship. Children line up to turn and spin the wheel, imagining themselves sailing out on the choppy seas. Inside the shop among the selection of classic and handcrafted toys are hundreds of beautiful glass marbles lining the counter top and glittery fairy potions stocking the shelves. The products inside the store come and go, but one aspect LOREN BROCK hasn’t changed: the shopkeeper and owner, Loren Brock, smiling warmly to all the visitors of The Toy Boat. Celebrating 30 years of business, Brock’s toy store is much more than a means of income. She has a passion for children that is demonstrated by her thoughtful decisions of which toys to put in her shop, community events she organizes for the kids and parents to enjoy, and the delight a child’s happiness

At Our Best On the Beach by Robert P. Barsanti You know that the Fourth of July has arrived when someone declares her independence by driving her BMW the wrong way down Main Street, parking on a crosswalk, getting the Sunday New York Times and an Americano, then trying to drive the wrong way up Union. It’s okay, though, because her Dad is a lawyer. Others mark the Fourth of July with the first dip. The dip deflates his tires, races out onto Nobadeer, then drives the Land Rover into the surf. He learns that privilege doesn’t float in the Atlantic nearly as well as it did in the Admission’s office. It takes sharp eyes and a church tower to see America from Nantucket. The moat is thirty miles wide and costs $50+ dollars round-trip. Finding someplace to sleep will cost extra, whether it be for a bed, a room, or a house. The great unwashed have to drop more than a few dead presidents to join our sandy and separate union. On Broad Street, Jackson and Franklin are a lot more welcome than Washington and Lincoln. Life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness cost dear. You can only celebrate the Fourth of July on Nantucket with a thorough drenching of irony. When the country first declared independence, most of Nantucket wanted nothing to do with it. Our best and richest customer was busy lighting her streets with our spermaceti oil. Our ships hosted the Boston Tea Party and were gleefully plundered by the Sons of Liberty. Our leading lady of commerce, Kezia Coffin, invited the blockading British soldiers on island for dinner. Independence for Nantucket meant starvation, lost ships, and empty bank accounts. Not many islanders wanted to ring the bells, read the document aloud, and call themselves “Patriots” in 1776. The modern Fourth of July boasts golf and tennis tournaments in some clubs, regattas in others, and a beach party for the kids. Yet, Nantucket can yet serve to make America great again.

The dictionary definition of “interpretation” is an explanation of the meaning of another’s artistic or creative work; an elucidation; an interpretation of a poem. Artists Association of Nantucket (AAN) is hosting the exhibition Up for Interpretation in the Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery, 19 Washington Street beginning Friday, June 30 with a reception from 6 to 8 pm. “In this general-themed show, we have encouraged our artists to write a short statement about their inspiration for each of their pieces,” said AAN gallery manager Peter J. Greenhalgh. “ In this way, the viewer is given a chance to see the works in a more in-depth manner, and better understand the artist’s vision.” The show will continue through July 10. The Solo Show Spotlight Artist during this exhibition is Mary Emery, who will discuss her work during a Spotlight Artist Talk on Saturday, July 1 at 10 am in the gallery, 19 Washington Street. Also this Saturday from 10 am to 3 pm, the garden of the Nantucket Atheneum will be transformed into an outdoor art gallery. The Artists Association of Nantucket is hosting its annual Sidewalk Art Show in the dappled summer sun of this garden at 1 India Street. More than twenty AAN artist members will participate to discuss art and sell their works. The art show is free and open to the public. 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. “In 1960 AAN took the reins of the event and it is now one of our signature offerings and 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.” “Still going strong eighty-seven years later, it is a great way to meet some of the island’s most popular artists, who are pleased to discuss their art and explain their work process,” said Robert Frazier, curator of exhibitions.

Angling Nantucket by Dr. Sarah T. Bois Director of Research & Education for the Linda Loring Nature Foundation Some may think of Captain Ahab and whaling when they think of Nantucket fishing tradition. However, there is a long history of fishing on Nantucket with many species available to catch (and eat!) today under the right circumstances. Here are six fish species worth your time if you’re out on Nantucket and the best times to go for them. Bluefish - Bluefish may not be everyone’s cup of tea at the dinner table, but it’s one of my favorites on the line. These fighters can really get your heart racing. They’re a great resource to have; abundant, fun on the line, and aggressive, making for great action by boat or beach. Bluefish help carry us through the dog days of summer when the striper fishing can quiet down.

Provisioning All American Style by Jenny Benzie Advanced Sommelier + Certified Wine Educator, Proprietress of Ă&#x2030;pernay Wine & Spirits There is no doubt that summertime is full of entertaining. The weather is warm so you can relax outside, the flowers in full bloom provide perfect table decor, and the relaxed pace is just right for sipping on something refreshing that will quench your vacation thirst. Whether it be a few friends kicking it on the back porch, your annual July open-house fĂŞte at your summer residence, or as a housewarming gift to a new Nantucket homeowner, there are a handful of essentials you should have on hand in order to stock your back bar for any discerning guest. It is always best to stock four key basic liquors to get your party started. These are essential for your most basic cocktail: a combination of spirit with a non-alcohol mixer garnished with a slice of fruit. As we celebrate the upcoming all-American Fourth of July holiday, consider a selection of top-quality American made spirits. These are sure to impress without putting a dent in your summer budget fun, and they something safer to discuss than politics.

PRIVATEER RUM Named after the Privateers who waged battle at sea during the revolution off the coast (and also distilled rum), this rum is made in Ipswich, Massachusetts under the direction of Andrew Cabot. What makes this â&#x20AC;&#x153;True Americanâ&#x20AC;? rum unique and delicious is that it is made from the purest of high-quality ingredients available. Best to get a matching bottle of white (often referred to as silver because it has not been aged in oak), and an amber (sometimes called dark due to the color) rum for different drink recipes. continued on page 16

Palau’s model for attracting new followers was groundbreaking upon development and has since been replicated by many others. At the turn of the millennium, Palau went forward with an “open arms” approach that created a festival-like sense of religious community in place of traditional, stuffier church models. He says of this high energy approach, “We want to attract the un-churched and the seeking; we want them to encounter God. We also want to unite and energize the church community.” This unconventional approach to Christianity has been a great success. Where other ministries are cut and dry when it comes to formality and tradition, Palau has engaged contemporary culture and modernity to help strengthen his cause. Palau’s free festivals include popular music and food, making them family friendly events with a higher purpose. Many have compared Palau festivals to sporting events and music festivals. A description of Palau’s work might be Coachella for Christians. Palau’s books have been published in dozens of languages and include titles such as A Friendly Dialogue between an Atheist and a Christian and What To Do When You Don't Want To Go To Church. Palau’s authentic compassion and sincerity have been admired widely, but what is perhaps most impressive is the accessibility he affords religion. His focus on reaching people in a relatable way that allows religion to happily reside with today’s world is a boon for his many supporters. Spiritual Heritage Nantucket is bringing Luis Palau to the island for a free event on Tuesday, June 29 at 7:30 pm in the Nantucket High School auditorium on Surfside Road. “Spiritual Heritage Nantucket was organized to bring in Christian speakers whose message could make a difference in people's lives," said Ann Furrow, founding board member and past President. "This is a really unsettled time in our world, and people are anxious! Our speaker, Luis Palau, has a unifying message of the love of God and the hope He offers everyone. He is considered the Billy Graham of the Hispanic world and certainly one of America's most prominent Christian leaders.”

Even if you think you don’t like bluefish fillets, try them on the day of catch with a slice of tomato thrown on top before grilling to perfection. The acid cuts through some of the bluefish oils for a delicious fresh catch. And if you know the right people, smoked blue fish paté is the way to go. Striped Bass - This is fish that everyone seems to want; delicious eating and fun on the line. Juvenile stripers, or schoolies, can be found early in the season and are generally fished for from the beach. They whet the appetite for the adults which won’t really come in until the water warms up in early summer. Still, you’ve got to know where to find them. Best by boat, there are always some caught every year off the beach especially around Great Point or along the south coast when the water is warm enough. Black Seabass - I think this fish is a little underappreciated. These bottom fish provide plenty of action when the water hasn’t gotten to the point of striped bass and they are definitely delicious. Many restaurants on-island serve black sea bass, but you can catch your own and wow them at your next dinner party. Fluke (or flounder) - One of my favorite table fare, fluke are bottom feeders and often found along with the black seabass that are a few of the possibilities in early summer. Bonito - These fish kick in right when you’ve had enough of bluefish. Bonito is a mackerel-like fish whose beauty is matched by its speed and strength. It isn’t surprising that it’s a member of the tuna family. It’s a light tackle dream; a hard fighting, fast swimming sportfish. It can be prepared like tuna as well and is just as delicious on the grill. False Albacore - This small sport fish is often a welcome return when it arrives to the Nantucket waters in late August and stick around into September. While not the best eating, Albies are one of the most fun fish on the line. Once boated, check out their cool, iridescent colors before returning them to the water. Albies, which look like mini-tuna, are lightning fast and a fun surface water cath. They may frustrate many a fisherman, but the fight and ultimate catch are worth any challenge. continued on page 15

By late summer, the fishing is on! It’s almost more difficult deciding what species to go for. What a great problem for any angler to have. Of course there are more species than these available in the waters around Nantucket. Start with these, but you never know what you might reel up on the other end. Make sure you know the fishing regulations so you know what the size limits are for keepers and how many you can keep. If you hire a charter, have a talk with your captain before-hand about whether or not you want to keep any fish or just take photos. Then no fish will be wasted. Editor’s Note: Fishing charters on Nantucket will take you where the fish are biting and provide the equipment and knowledge for a fun day on the water. Here are four that we recommend: Albacore: Slip 1010 on Straight Wharf, 508-228-5074 Herbert T: Slip 14 on Straight Wharf, 508-228-6655 Just Do It Too: Slip 13 on Straight Wharf, 508-228-7448 Topspin Fishing Charter: Town Pier, 508-246-6210

The silver rum is smooth, clean and hand-crafted with conviction by doing what is right to create a pure spirit. Perfect on the rocks with a splash of Fever Tree Light Tonic and a squeeze of lime. For the amber rum, it is aged in the maritime climate of New England and cask finished in used whiskey and bourbon barrels for an added depth. There is no added molasses for color, taste or texture as found in most mass-produced rum brands. Mix this with a splash of Farmer Willie’s Craft Ginger Beer (alcoholic) for a little added punch.

Distilled in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, New York City, this urban distillery released their flagship American Dry Gin just a few years ago. Founded by gin enthusiast Steven DeAngelo and his brother Philip, Greenhook Ginsmiths have quickly emerged as American’s premier gin artisans. The use an unique “vacuum distillation” technique to remove air pressure from the copper pot still during distillation. This enables them to distill at a low temperature to prevent the delicate aromas from the botanicals to become too harsh or damaged in the process. This beautifully fragrant gin has delicate aromas and vibrant flavors unlike other London Dry or other styles of gin. Use in place of rum for a piña colada and you will never think of the Caribbean the same again. continued on page 17

WHISTLE PIG WHISKEY The ultimate goal for Whistle Pig Whiskey is to realize a vision of creating a true farm-to-bottle whiskey. Not just All American, but one the finest whiskey in the world that is entirely sourced, rye and all, from its home base from their Vermont farm. Enter their newest product “Farmstock.” Rye Crop 001, as their bottling production of this ethereal spirit is named, takes the best features of their estate whiskey, which only youth can provide, with the richness of their best five to six-year ryes, topped off with the splendor of their 12 Year whiskey. This is made from their own grain, own wood, own water - quite a feat in the world of whiskey production. Best served with neat with only a chilled whiskey rock. And perhaps a cigar on the side.

TITO’S VODKA Now considered a household name, you can mention Tito’s sans the word vodka and most people would know what you are referencing. Distilled in Austin, Texas, this ever popular vodka created a tremendous following for itself by being made from corn versus wheat like most other vodkas, hence making it gluten free. Tito’s rise to fame came as a true American start from scratch, rags to riches story. Tito Beverage (yes, that is his real name) makes his vodka in batches, used old-fashioned pots stills and taste-tests every batch to make sure you only get the best. Available in several different size options, be sure to get the one that meets your needs not only in quantity, but also in shape to display nicely with your other bar selections. This quick list is a great way to get your party started All-American style this weekend. Be sure to stock up on mixers, garnishes and handful of cheese selections to have some nibbles for your event. Be sure to pre-plan for the appropriate amount of people in attendance and don’t forget the ice!

ocean, and more. “Having the chance to speak with the Nantucket community about whales and whale conservation is an exciting opportunity for me,” says Hauser. “As a New Englander with roots stretching back to some of the “Petticoat” whalers, it is a unique honor to be able to add my stories to the Nantucket whale narrative. I hope to share my knowledge, passion, and science of these amazing creatures, and inspire others to feel the same way.” Nan Daeschler Hauser has been the President and Director of the Center for Cetacean Research & Conservation (CCRC) since 1991. Her home base is in Rarotonga, Cook Islands, where she is the Principal Investigator for the Cook Islands Whale Research Project and Director of the Cook Islands Whale & Wildlife Centre, which she built in 2000. The Cook Islands have led the way in whale conservation by claiming a 2 million square kilometer whale sanctuary in the islands’ exclusive economic zone—an achievement in which Hauser played a key role. For almost a decade she was involved with the Ocean Alliance’s cetacean research expeditions aboard the R/V Odyssey. As Founder and Director of the New England Dolphin Outreach Project she has taught on a global level for the Dolphin Research Center, Whale Conservation Institute, and many other non-profit organizations. She is currently on the Board of Directors of the Ajubatus Foundation in South Africa, Te Ara Cook Islands Museum of Cultural Enterprise, and Cet Law in the U.S. Hauser is also a “Woman in Science” at the Smithsonian Institute. Her other field research includes a study site in the Bahamas investigating beaked whales, dolphins, and other cetaceans. Hauser and her team captured the first ever, underwater footage of a rare beaked whale, Mesoplodon densirostris. Hauser’s research has been featured in numerous documentaries that have appeared on National Geographic, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, Smithsonian Channel, ARTE, Munwha Broadcasting, and BBC.

At Our Best from page 7

small island forces everyone to suspend their egos eventually, although it may take a few angry motorists and a rising tide to check the privilege. Main Street, on the Fourth of July, features the great triumph of equality. The street closes to cars early in the day, then the crowds descend for decorated bicycles, baby carriages, and dressed up dogs. After some pie eating and dunking, the squirt guns come out. The Fire Department sets up their reservoir for refilling and the soaking begins. The forces of Capitalism arrive on a private antique fire engine only to be met by the mighty socialist fire hose of the town ladder trucks. The Commonwealth always wins and, no matter how heavy your wallet or how old your lightship basket, we all get wet. Liberty soaks all. At our best, Nantucket embodies the Wharf Rats’ motto: “No seats reserved for the mighty.” In recent years, the private clubs have swung their elbows, but they have only carved out small areas for themselves. The moors and the hills remain open to everyone for walking, biking, or driving. The harbor hosts yachts, trawlers, and kayaks. The beaches don’t require stickers or fees. If you can get out to them, you can plant your towel and claim the same sand. You may have to spend hundreds of dollars to get out to the island, but once here, your pursuit of happiness doesn’t cost much. On the last Sunday before July, the boys and I drove to one of the south shore beaches later in the afternoon. Perhaps twenty other cars were lined up near the shore. The usual island suspects were there: new white BMW All-Terrain beasts, Jeep Wagoneers with fifteen years of beach permits, and beat up Toyota Corollas. Four Jeeps lined up against the beach grass. None of them was the least bit protected; you could go from car to car picking up books, purses, CDs, and even one large brown wallet. Trust goes far at the beach. I parceled out the chairs, bags, and towels to the young men and followed them out. A passing storm had whipped up the surf two days ago and it had begun to slowly subside. Great head-high waves broke on a sandbar one hundred yards out, then rebuilt into something much more manageable before they slammed into the sand. We eased out into the chilly water, bounced around on the waves, and then the young men returned to the warm sand. I stayed in the water for a few minutes more. I recognized the man on the beach next to us. He was often on TV, the subject of envy and pride, and not entirely welcome in Seattle or Atlanta. I caught his eye, he caught mine, and we both looked away. The Great Man neither hid nor proclaimed himself. Instead, he dipped back into his book (Fearless if you must know.) Later, he lay face down on a towel and lightly held the hand of his companion. Nobody bothered him. Nobody snapped his picture and put it on Twitter. Twenty yards to his east, two young men sat next to each other and also held hands. Further down a family of Guatemalans prepared a charcoal grill for their burgers. Their privacy also remained perfect. The only person who violated the Great Man’s trust did it at a computer keyboard later that night. Nantucket, and America, is at its best on the beach. On the beach, we watch out for each other. On the beach, we leave each other alone. On the beach, we trust in our better natures. I would no more take a secret picture of the Great Man at the beach than I would take his wallet from his car. When we fail, it’s because we think we are better than our neighbors on the towels. Then we drive headlong into the surf. E Pluribus unum is our myth and our truth. We are all equal before the sea. formerly

brings to her. Many years ago, Brock came to the island to work for Judi and Greg Hill during her summer breaks from college. She remembers walking down the wharf every afternoon to the old location of Sweet Inspirations, where The Toy Boat currently resides, to treat herself to some type of chocolate delight. When John and Kathy West of Sweet Inspirations decided to move the shop downtown, Brock saw the perfect location open for her chance to start a toy store on Nantucket. At the time, there wasn’t a toy shop that offered more than basic play toys to the children of the island. “There were plenty of places to get beach buckets and games, but there wasn’t anything unique or special that you could really build on,” said Brock. “I thought that was really sad given the history of craftsmanship on Nantucket.” Brock fell in love with the “community feeling” that the wharf provided and knew that was where she wanted to have her shop. Now 30 years later, The Toy Boat remains at its original location. From Brock’s very first days in business, she was extremely dedicated to her shop and the happiness it brought to children. When she first opened The Toy Boat, Brock lived in Vermont where she was a teacher. Brock would teach Monday through Friday, travel eight hours down to the coast and get on the late Steamship. She would work all day Saturday and Sunday, close the store down at five o’clock on Sunday, jump on the 5:30 pm ferry and drive another eight hours back to Vermont. One day, Brock decided she needed to revamp her lifestyle. She gave up teaching and decided to make Nantucket her permanent home. After making her move, Brock realized very quickly that operating The Toy Boat was similar to teaching: Brock selects toys to sell in her store that can teach a child about different parts of the world or Nantucket culture. “All the things I loved about teaching, I loved about the store. They were very parallel to each other,” said Brock. “It gave me the opportunity to sort of educate in a different way. I didn’t have to be in the classroom doing it, but

you can touch children’s lives in many, many ways.” More than half of The Toy Boat’s products are made locally, but the store also has international folk toys. She carries items that are hand-carved, felted, and even made from glass. By having an array of cultural toys in her shop, it presents a teaching moment to expose children to international customs or the historical craftsmanship of the island. “I want every generation to recognize that every culture on this planet has something beautiful and generous to offer, that all the toys in a particular area represent something from their history of the past,” said Brock. “The things that are mass produced may or may not do that.” Brock also holds an annual kid’s craft event, Kid’s Create Crafts. The annual craft shows features crafts made by children that are available to purchase. The craft day aims to educate children on what it takes to gather materials, make and sell crafts, and why handmade items tend to be more expensive. This year’s Kid’s Create Crafts will be held Thursday, July 27 from 3 to 4 pm outside of The Toy Boat. Brock may teach children, but she believes that in many ways adults can learn from how children view the world. Brock observed that kids do not continued on page 27

necessarily hold the same expectations that adults have. She sees a “very open and receptive” quality about children when many adults do not share the same flexibility. Brock also admires children’s ability to live in the moment. “Kids could be crying one moment, but if you show them something and explain something to them, then the next minute they are happy and joyous and ready to move on,” said Brock. “I find that to be one of the most wonderful aspects of the day.” Brock’s allows children to fully live in the moment with her dazzling and creative store. That creativity is extended to the exterior of the shop with her fairy garden. In front of The Toy Boat is a small garden with flowers, painted rocks and shells, and little, handmade homes meant for fairies. “When I was a little girl my grandma taught me how to make fairy houses, and fairies out of flowers,” said Brock. “When I started The Toy Boat and had a little garden outside that was in need of something, we started planting flowers. Every year [the fairy garden] grows and changes, whether I’m here or closed.” The fairy garden is a whimsical destination for children to use their imagination. They can search for all the trap doors around the shop and garden, leave letters in the fairy mailbox, and add their own creations for the fairies to enjoy. “The things that go on the exterior of our building are very important to me,” said Brock. “I think it’s really important for people to have a destination to visit that doesn’t cost them anything. It’s not about anything other than the experience. There’s always something different.”

30 Years of Toys from page 27

But The Toy Boat hasn’t always had shining, happy days. The 1991 No Name Storm, later dubbed the “Perfect Storm,” left The Toy Boat in shambles. Brock was in her first few years of business when the storm came out of nowhere, leaving her with five feet of water on the exterior of her shop and a four-foot waterline inside. The Straight Wharf was much more open than it is today, and the fury of the storm sent water cascading onto the docks and wharf. The flooding started, and Brock hurriedly tried to protect her shop’s inventory by moving products off of the ground and her valuables into her car. Brock parked her car behind the old electricity building and tried to continue to pack up, but the Coast Guard told her she must evacuate. She went back to The Toy Boat to grab her pet cat, who was sitting in the window watching the waves crash ashore. The water rose so quickly that the water swallowed Brock’s car and the harbormaster had to tie it to a telephone poll to prevent it from washing away. Brock was standing in the middle of a hurricane with no car, a flooding shop, and a cat under her rain jacket. She trudged through knee-level water up to India Street to Sweet Inspirations, where the Wests opened their doors for her. Brock and her cat eventually made it home. With The Toy Boat damaged and in need of costly repairs, many suggested she give up her dream and return to teaching. However, Brock didn’t share that idea. “I was determined that this was just the opportunity to change [the shop] and to make it more what I wanted to be, more about handmade things, more about boats, that could perhaps float in the next storm, sort a tongue in cheek,” said Brock. Brock looks at this disaster, and challenges in general, as a ways to revise situations and turn them into something better. “I think the key is getting through it, because at the time you can’t really see past it. Certainly when I was knee-deep in water, I didn’t have the sense continued on page 29

I would be here for 30 years,” said Brock. “But it gives you an opportunity and stand on the edge and say, ‘Which way do I want to go?’ because there’s no wrong answer.” Brock knows she may face turmoil and unwanted commotion but she gains happiness through the joy of the children she sees in her shop. “On the worst days and some little child comes running in and throws their arms around you, it’s pretty hard to be sad,” Brock said. “No matter how bad things are, it’s pretty hard to be sad.” Brock’s way of looking at obstacles is something every one of us could try to incorporate into our lives. If we face a time of loss, try to find the silver linings. Without the bumps, we can’t feel the smooth flow of life. “The clouds just part and that gorgeous ray of sunshine comes shining through and it’s the most beautiful ray you’ve ever seen and there’s tomorrow. I have no problem with the dark, grey, rainy days. That’s just part of it all. You gotta do it,” said Brock. Loren Brock is an inspiration to the children and island community. She aims to “live a life that was of some value of the community” and she has done just that. She provides joy and happy memories to every one she interacts with. Her passion for the children of Nantucket and her shop is something truly beautiful and warming to all. “I couldn’t even imagine my life without children in it, of all ages. There is very little not to love about them,” said Brock. “Still to this day, my greatest joys of The Toy Boat are the kids coming in, and we speak the same language, we really do. I understand them.”

Featured Restaurant: Dune

Where Dinner is a Culinary Event Sometimes during our featured restaurant adventures we try a dish that is so unexpectedly good that it dominates our conversation and haunts our dreams. This happened last week at Dune. When we returned to this downtown restaurant just two evenings later for the same dish, it was every bit as good as the first time. Chef-Owner Michael Getter opened Dune eight years ago, after creating the island’s iconic American Seasons restaurant and cooking at 21 Federal. We’ve enjoyed many fine meals he’s prepared and have come to respect his technique and his broad scope of talent. This is a chef who fully understands the intricate relationship between texture and taste, the interplay of flavors, and how to create exciting and worldly fare from very fresh local ingredients. This season, Chef Getter is sharing the reins with Chef de Cuisine Joseph Ranstatler, who’s been by his side in the kitchen for the past four years. “He’s grown to take a more active role in menu development,” Getter explained, “and his creativity is showing.” We saw it in the variety of preparations and the international influences in appetizers and entrees. Chef Getter’s perfect pitch is still strong and clear, but with now with some engaging new notes for a dinner menu that is robust yet refined. We like Dune’s sheltered patio for outside dining at lunchtime or for a light dinner and cocktails (there’s an outdoor bar at the back of the patio), but the dining rooms inside have an elegant beachy feel that is perfect for Nantucket. The poised and professional staff does credit to the stylish tone of Dune, but if you’re lucky enough to have Bill as your server, your evening will be complete. Offering spot-on suggestions with a warm and friendly manner, he’s living proof that good service can make the meal. Chef Getter emphasizes local ingredients for nearly all his dishes. The Organic ACK Sweet Water Farm Greens is a showcase for island produce— a delicious jumble of tender greens tossed with toasted almond slivers, plump, sweet blueberries, juicy and colorful heirloom tomatoes, and crisp slices of cucumber. The preserved lemon vinaigrette adds a bright backdrop for the variety of textures and flavors in this salad. (Suggested pairing: Cisco Whales Tale) Local reigns supreme again in the Chilled Nantucket Grey Lady Oysters Farmed in the waters around Nantucket, these gems Housemade Mozzarella are as fresh as they

come! How do you improve on something this good? The chefs at Dune highlight their freshness and balance the brine with a melon-champagne shaved ice mignonette with tiny dice cucumber and a dash of basil oil. Makes delicious sense to Pan-Roasted Maine Mussels us! (Suggested pairing: Huber Hugo, Rose of Zweigelt, Austria) Just about every eatery on Nantucket has a version of caprese salad as we head into tomato season — while Dune’s Housemade Mozzarella is not really a caprese salad, it does have those elements and then some. Delicate, milky, tender slices of mozzarella are anointed with basil oil and balsamic vinegar and arranged around wedges of ripe red tomato, melon balls, and a shatteringly crisp slice of prosciutto. It’s the sweet surprise of juicy melon that really sets this apart. (Suggested pairing: a lively Albinea Canali Lambrusco di Romagna) Vibrant in color and in flavor, we highly recommend the Sweet Pea Risotto and suggest you hurry to Dune to order this delight while it’s still offered! Its perfect consistency (saucy not gluey), intense flavor of fresh peas plus a scattering of fresh sweet peas, and lots of tender lobster meat stirred in makes this a dish of big flavors. We love the textural contrast of the salty sunflower seed gremolata and the hints of lemon and mint. (Suggested pairing: Camino Roca Altxerri from the Basque Region) We adore mussels, but Sweet Pea Risotto

rarely are they served as part of a composed dish that is worth finishing. Dune does them just right in their Pan-Roasted Maine Mussels. Perfectly cooked, just till their blueblack shells open, the mussels are served in a hearty broth with slices of sweet sausage, cherry tomatoes, strips of red bell pepper and fennel, and a few chile flakes to add a touch of heat. This is so good that we spooned it up like a soup after devouring the mussels. We suggest you ask for bread to mop up every drop. (Suggested pairing: K Vinters Viognier Grilled Heritage Pork Chop from Yakima Valley) A very satisfying meal can be made from the appetizers at Dune, but then you’d miss the delightfully varied entrees offered at dinner, each with a different flavor profile to please a range of palates. Thick cut and tender, the Grilled Heritage Pork Chop arrives with a nice char. Porcini mushrooms, chanterelles, fava beans, and truffled pork jus add richness and amplify the deep flavors, and pickled blueberries and lemon thyme supply a bright contrast. (Suggested pairing: a Blackberry Caipirinha followed by a Poggio al Tesoro, Sondraia, Bolgheri) If what you’re really hungry for is a great steak, Dune has one— their Grilled Sirloin Steak “a la Corazon.” Supremely tender even when medium rare, this steak is simply served with a chimichurri salsa, hot and crisp yucca fries, and a fresh salad of watercress, picked onions, and queso fresco. (Suggested pairing: start with a Cabron Cocktail and follow with Pascual Toso Malbec) Duck is always a great choice at Dune, no matter what the preparation. We enjoyed it this week as PanRoasted Long Island Grilled Sirloin Steak “a la Corazon” Duck Breast set on an

appealingly crunchy rice cake flanked by roasted baby bell peppers. The scrumptious crisp duck skin is drizzled with honey and strewn with cashews. (Suggested pairing: Talisman Adastra Vineyard Pinot Noir) We rarely order scallops after April 1, but at Bill’s encouraging, we tried the fresh Seared Georges Bank Scallops and found them astonishingly good! Nicely browned top and bottom, the sea scallops were sweet and succulent and served in a vivid gingery broth of coconut and lemon grass made even richer when we broke open the poached egg. Chilled pickled daikon and carrot with thin slices of radish and beans added a tasty contrast in taste and texture. (Suggested pairSeared Georges Bank Scallops ing: a Sazerac or Dr. Loosen Riesling from Germany) The summery Pan-Seared New Zealand King Salmon is a dish of simple, focused flavors. Stunningly fresh, the fish has a sear that gives it a delectable top crust while keeping the interior moist. It’s presented on a tracing of feta cream next to a toss of juicy tomatoes, cucumbers, greens, red onion, and capers in a light vinaigrette. (Suggested pairing: Pretty in Pink Cocktail) It’s a lot to expect for dessert to keep up with a meal so full of flavor, but Pastry Chef Michael Winkelmanis up to the task. His Chocolate Ganache is a geometric treat: a cube of satiny sweet ganache set on a colorful schmear of mint buttercream next to a scoop of mint sorbet surrounded by dollops of dark chocolate. But If you really want to give in to your sweet tooth, order the Warm Brioche Donut. Surprisingly light, the puffed warm donut is rolled in earl grey sugar, filled with tart-sweet lemon curd, and surrounded by a luscious sauce of fresh blueberries. After a satisfying meal like this one, we often like a more savory finish. The Caramelized Mission Figs is a terrific alternative to a cheese plate, our only complaint is that we’d like a touch more of the pistachio cream. YUM! Strawberries & Marscarpone Mousse is a heavenly dessert of torn vanilla pound cake and strawberries four ways (compote, gel, sorbet, and dehydrated) arranged around a light yet indulgent marscarpone mousse. Add a glass of Inniskillin “Ice Wine” to this for a truly seductive finish.
