ISLAND CASHMERE

32 Centre Street | Nantucket | 508 228 7611 For nearly three decades we have been asking the question, “Where’s Waldo?” Let’s celebrate the 30th anniversary of the search for that distinctively dressed traveler by bringing it to life on Nantucket.

Join us on the hunt for Waldo starting Friday, July 1 with Find Waldo Local, a community wide Shop Local scavenger hunt. Hosted by Mitchell’s Book Corner and Nantucket Book Works (Nantucket Book Partners) throughout the month of July, hundreds of children from all age ranges are expected to participate. Last year was a huge success, so there’s no doubt this year will be a hit as well.

Come by Mitchell’s to pick up your packet and find out where to begin the hunt. Then, stop by each of the 20+ participating businesses listed in the packet during the month of July, most of which are in walking distance of downtown. If you can find Waldo, you get a stamp on your passport. The goal is to get a stamp from each of the participating businesses.

Then, on Friday July 29 from 10 to 11 am, join us at Mitchell’s for an allWaldo extravaganza. Bring your completed passport and enjoy games and prizes, giveaways and refreshments. There will even be an appearance by Waldo himself!

Astronaut Visits EMILLY BROOKE RUBIN Nantucket JEWELRY DESIGN

NASA Astronaut Daniel Burbank will be a special guest at the Nantucket Red-Tie Soirée on Sunday, July 10 from 7 to 10 pm at the Sankaty Head Golf Club, a fundraiser for Maria Mitchell Association (MMA).

Astronaut Burbank will speak with guests about NASA and his experiences living and working on the International Space Station. He will be joined by this year’s MMA astronomy interns who are taking part in the National Science Foundation’s Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU).

The MMA has hosted astronomy interns for more than six decades.

The MMA will also have telescopes on hand for guests to observe the night sky.

“We are all very excited to have Astronaut Burbank join us for this special evening. I know our guests will be enthralled with the opportunity to meet an astronaut and to learn about NASA and the future of space exploration. His visit will help to excite a new generation of scientists ready to carry the torch of exploration forward,” says Dave Gagnon, Executive Director of the Maria Mitchell Association.

Selected by NASA in April 1996, Burbank reported to the Johnson Space Center in August of that year. He worked technical assignments in the Astrocontinued on page 13

The Deference E MILLY BROOKE RUBIN of Consideration JEWELRY DESIGN

by Robert P. Barsanti

At the corner of Pleasant and Main Street, near the Three Bricks and in the shadow of the Hadwen House, a Silver Yukon took the privilege of making an unsignalled right turn in front of me. I slammed on my brakes and touched the horn as she startled. I backed up. She backed up, smiled, waved a considerate apology, and went on her way to her tennis lesson.

You can make whatever lesson you would like from our encounter. One, she was on her phone--flinging angry birds or snap-chatting or directing a drone strike in Pakistan--so she didn’t nudge her directional or see an ugly blue Volvo station wagon far below her hood. Two, the streets on Nantucket were designed for horses and carts ladened down with barrels of whale oil, not Orca-sized cars. Three, I shouldn’t leave the house to go and get donuts on a July morning. If I insisted on a dozen sugar-covered Downyflake specials, I should bike for them, save the environment and my waistline.

All of us were wrong, in one way or another. The truly righteous are living underground and eating lichens, all the rest of us have to make do with out venal sins as best we can.

July creeps at us in a line of cars. Nantucket is a delightful place, and we have let far too many people know it. We have sold them houses that we built in pastures and farmyards, and now, in the heat and humidity of the twenty-first century, all of those taxpayers, employers, and clients come for the rest that we promised them. Nobody should be surprised.

Living, and driving, on Nantucket requires an entirely different set of skills and attitudes than the mainland prizes. Off-island, you drive isolated in your car. You follow the instructions spelled out in sign or, in truly difficult moments, in that little blue book you got from the Registry when you were sixteen. A traffic cop always exists to instruct you, whether he is in front of you or not. The roads are wider, with better signage and turning lanes; a direc-

Chronicling Life on Nantucket

by Amy Jenness More than 100 years after the first white people settled on Nantucket, the French-American writer Hector St. John de Crevecoer visited and recorded his perceptions of island life in his influential book Letters From An American Farmer. Published in 1782, the book was the first European bestseller written by an American and featured the first example of an author attempting to define what it means to be an American.

De Crevecoer divided the book into “letters” and wrote it in an unusual structure that still has historians debating whether it is a novel or a memoir.

When de Crevecoer writes about Nantucket in five “letters” he adopts the tone of a travelogue full of newsy narrative that reflected his admiration for the island, which was thriving as the capital of whaling at the time of his visit.

Who would have imagined that any people should have abandoned a fruitful and extensive continent, filled with the riches which the most ample vegetation affords; replete with good soil, enamelled meadows, rich pastures, every kind of timber, and with all other materials necessary to render life happy and comfortable: to come and inhabit a little sandbank, to which nature had refused those advantages; to dwell on a spot where there scarcely grew a shrub to announce, by the budding of its leaves, the arrival of the spring, and to warn by their fall the proximity of winter…Had this island been contiguous to the shores of some ancient monarchy, it would only have been occupied by a few wretched fishermen, who, oppressed by poverty, would hardly have been able to purchase or build little fishing barks; always dreading the weight of taxes, or the servitude of men− of−war.

De Crevecoer would be by no means be the only popular writer to feature Nantucket. For centuries writers have been fascinated by “customs at Nan-

What Is This?

by Katherine Brooks Maria Mitchell Association Have you seen stones inscribed with these messages?

“Northern Extremity of the Town’s Meridian Line” “Southern Extremity of the Town’s Meridian Line” These two stones are located near the Pacific National Bank and the Fair Street Quaker Meetinghouse in downtown Nantucket. The stones date back to 1840 and have been a standing mystery since the 20th century.

Forgotten amongst the cobblestones and other relics that create historic Nantucket, the true purpose of the stones remained a mystery to scientists and towns people alike, the meaning of their purpose lost over time.

The mystery of the meridian stones was solved in 2002 by a team of Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association researchers.

Theories of the stones’ original purpose included rating chronometers (accurately timed clocks taken aboard ships to help determine longitude while out at sea) for whaling ships, and even a theory that the stones had no practical use at all.

If you took a guided-tour of Nantucket and walked past those stones before the 2002 investigation, you would hear tour guides tell a numcontinued on page 16

FAMILY EXCURSIONS

NANTUCKET

Beachcombing This summer season, you are sure to spend lots of time on the beach. My family likes to stay busy while we’re on the beach, so we always come prepared with plenty of activities. One of the easiest and most enjoyable activities is beachcombing. I’m sure you do this without even realizing it.

Beachcombing is simply searching the shores for items of interest. I find myself collecting seashells each time I go to the beach. There is always a shell or two that piques my interest and I just have to bring it home.

There are countless beaches on our little island and they all have treasures just lying out on their shorelines waiting to be found. My favorite beachcombing spots are along the North Shore. The north shore beaches are protected by the Nantucket Sound and are typically calmer shallower beaches. Walking along these shorelines reveal assortments of shells, smooth stones, and even colorful sea glass. Beachcombing along the South, Western, and Eastern Shores are possible too. If you search near the water, the waves may present a bit of a challenge so I’d stick to the dry sand for searching. But if you like a challenge, please be cautious of the waves.

While beachcombing, it is important to be prepared. It may sound easy enough to just walk along the beach and stuff seashells into your pockets or carry them by the fist full, but there are better ways. A bucket and shovel are the most useful tools while combing. Let’s be honest, these are beach going essentials you can find almost anywhere on Nantucket. It’s helpful to put a little ocean water into your bucket and drop your treasures into a salty bath as you go. This helps keep the sand off and makes taking the shells home much easier. Water shoes can be very handy too incase you want to wade in over rocky areas or step on some sharp shells. It would also be helpful to bring a plastic zip-lock bag to allow the travel home clean and fragrant free.

Remember to wear sunscreen! continued on page 29

In a large skillet over medium heat add olive oil. Once the oil is hot add in sausage and begin to brown. Make sure to break up the sausage as it cooks.

As the sausage begins to brown, add in shallots and fennel. Continue cooking until the vegetables start to soften and the sausage is no longer pink.

Add in garlic and cook until fragrant. Pour in the white wine and cook down half way, then add in chicken stock and stir to combine.

Place clean raw clams on top of mixture, slightly pushing them into the stock. Cover and let cook for about 8 minutes or until completely opened.

Discard any clams that do not open.

Carefully remove the opened clams from the dish and add cream to the sausage mixture. Cook for 5 minutes and either add the clams back to the dish for serving or divide clams equally between bowls and pour the hot sausage/broth mixture overtop.

This Friday, July 15, the Artists Association of Nantucket will open their Summer Small Works Exhibition with a festive opening reception on from 6 to 8 pm in the Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery, 19 Washington Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The small works exhibition is a perennial favorite for artists and customers alike,â&#x20AC;? said gallery sales manager Peter J. Greenhalgh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each artists may bring in six works no larger than 11 x 14, so the gallery will be resplendent with vibrant works in oils, watercolors, acrylics, woodcuts, and photographsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all emphasizing the diverse and varied talent of our members.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just accepted close to twenty new artist members into the AAN fold, so we are looking forward to their involvement, and the small works show is a wonderful way to welcome them as they exhibit along side our more established artists,â&#x20AC;?

The Solo Show Spotlight Artist during Summer Small Works is Sharon Woods Hussey, who will discuss her work & techniques during our Spotlight Artist Talk on Saturday, July 16 at 10 am in the gallery, 19 Washington Street.

Husseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artwork and jewelry designs are inspired by the unique beauty of the island. Her love of nature and the incredible beauty of the unspoiled vistas on this windswept isle are the primary focus of her work. She is largely self-taught and considers her art a challenge to capture Nantucket's personality on canvas.

Summer Small Works will be on display from July 15 to August 1 in the Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery, 19 Washington Street, a stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throw from Main Street. The gallery is open daily, Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Saturday 10 am to 6 pm (closed 2 to 2:30), Sunday 11 am to 4 pm.

tucket,” as de Crevecoer called island life.

Frederick Douglass, a runaway slave famous as a writer and speaker in the mid to late 19th Century, wrote about his first visit to Nantucket, the place where he made his first public speech in 1841. His anti-slavery treatise, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, published in 1845, solidified Douglass’ role as an important voice in the abolitionist movement and had sold 30,000 copies by 1860.

Famous for his macabre short stories, the only novel ever written by Edgar Allen Poe was The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, in 1838. A young Pym stows away aboard the Nantucket whaleship Grampus and has many adventures that include a shipwreck, mutiny and cannibalism. Reviewers were not kind, the book did not sell and its failure marked a turning point in Poe’s career. He went to work as a magazine editor and began to focus on writing the short stories he would later become known for. But his one novel did have a strong influence on the writers Jules Verne and Herman Melville. And, scholars note many similarities between Poe’s and Melville’s work.

Melville was a crewmember on two Nantucket-owned whaleships in his youth, but never visited the island when he wrote his novel of the sea MobyDick, published in 1851. Yet, he situated the doomed crew on a Nantucket ship called the Pequod under the leadership of Nantucket Quakers. Melville devoted Chapter 14, aptly named “Nantucket,” to describing the island and its characters. He wrote at length about the island’s remote location, flatness, lack of vegetation, extreme amount of sand and concluded, “Nantucket is no continued on page 15

Illinois.” One year after Moby-Dick’s publication Melville visited the island for the only time. He travelled with his father-in-law, stayed one night and met astronomer Maria Mitchell and surviving Essex whaleship captain George Pollard.

Lillian and Frank Gilbreth brought their large family to Nantucket every summer and lived in a Brant Point cottage made by joining two lighthouses together. The Gilbreth’s, who worked as efficiency experts, had 12 children.

Their hectic life was chronicled by two of their children in the popular book and film Cheaper By The Dozen, published in 1948. In 1949, a camera crew from 20th Century Fox arrived on island to capture scenes for film version.

Nantucket youth were shot playing baseball and tennis dressed in the styles of the 1920s. An updated version of the film was released in 2003.

Robert Benchley, famous as a writer, humorist and filmmaker in the 1930s and 1940s, began summering with his family on the island’s east end in ‘Sconset. Benchley’s son, Nathaniel, captured Nantucket’s quirky characters in his novel The Off-Islanders, which was adapted for film as the popular “The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming!” And Nathaniel’s son, Peter Benchley, wrote the blockbuster book Jaws in 1975, which was also adapted for film.

Although they never wrote a story set on Nantucket, two American literature giants - Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck - both spent time on the island. In 1910 Hemingway visited for a month with his mother Grace when he was 11 years old. Mother and son stayed in a guest house on India Street and Ernest, born and raised in the midwest, learned about whaling and swam in the ocean for the first time during is Nantucket visit.

In 1951 writer John Steinbeck and his family rented a house in ‘Sconset owned by Peter Benchley. Steinbeck liked it the island and his writing profited. “I never knew a place with more energy than here,” he wrote in a letter to a friend. In the morning Steinbeck worked on his book East of Eden and went swimming or fishing in the afternoon with his family.

Noted writers who more recently have called Nantucket home include journalist David Halberstam, New York Times columnist Russell Baker, diarist and composer Ned Rorem, historian Nathaniel Philbrick and novelists Nancy Thayer and Elin Hilderbrand.

ber of stories and theories about the meaning of the meridian stones.

So what are they actually? A meridian line is a line that indicates, â&#x20AC;&#x153;true northâ&#x20AC;? (where the North Pole is geographically), as opposed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;magnetic north,â&#x20AC;? which is aligned with the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magnetic field. If you were to use a compass â&#x20AC;&#x201C;or pull out your smartphone and open your compass app â&#x20AC;&#x201C;that compass (digital or physical) would show you magnetic north. The stones were measured and placed accordingly to create a line that demarcates true north.

The two stones were erected by William Mitchell, a prominent astronomer, teacher, and surveyor on Nantucket in the early 1800â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. He was also the father of the first American woman astronomer, Maria Mitchell.

These stones were important for surveying work and were among the first established in the U.S. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; quite some time before an act of Congress required states to establish them. Knowing the angle between the stones was important for surveyors and mapmakers who needed to translate between their compass readings and directions on a map. Or, perhaps in the case of William Mitchell, creating exact property lines and translating between both cardinal and magnetic directions to keep the housing and land measurements consistent.

As the team of Maria Mitchell Association researchers began the search for the truth about these mysterious stones, they found public documents from 1840 Nantucket Town Meetings, which indicated that the stones were most likely used as an instrument for public use. The stones have thin lines, which indicated to scientists that the stones might have been used for measuring, and could be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;compass stone.â&#x20AC;? The team took measurements of the stones through two different methods, and both concluded that the stones were slightly misaligned, which was a curious discovery from a technical observer such as William Mitchell. From public records and documents, measurements, and research, the Maria Mitchell team concluded that the south stone had been removed and replaced for construction and paving projects two separate times.

dicates that the stones were likely not replaced accurately, accounting for the misalignment to true north.

What do these stones do now? The stones are historical artifacts and serve as a symbolic monument of astronomical and geographic advances in the early 1800s. The meridian stones are unobtrusive; perhaps you have even passed by the stones without even noticing them. The stones act as a reminder of how integrated our knowledge of the land is with our knowledge of the sky; and of how we take for granted the tools available to us for navigation.

“Meridian markers are reminders of an important period in the history of Western civilization, during which people were learning how to precisely measure the local territory and, eventually, the whole planet.”

–Vladimir Strelnitski (Maria Mitchell Observatory Director Emeritus) The next time you are in Town keep a lookout for these stones and take a minute to orient yourself to ‘true north.’ If you are interested in learning more about Nantucket or the astronomical and geological happenings around you, join the Maria Mitchell Association for fun-filled activities, which connect the past with the present and space with land. On July 20th you can even meet Vladimir Strelnitski, one of the prominent scientists to solve the case of the mysterious meridian stones, and hear one his most popular lectures on the phenomena of polar lights at the MMA Summer Science Speaker Series.

The MMA was founded in 1902 to preserve the legacy of Maria Mitchell and to promote her belief in learning-by-doing. An astronomer and natural scientist, as well as an educator, Maria Mitchell shot to worldwide fame when she discovered a comet in 1846. For her discovery, she was awarded a gold medal from the King of Denmark – the first American and first woman to receive the honor.

She served as the Professor of Astronomy and Mathematics at Vassar College from 1865 until 1888. Today, the MMA operates two observatories, a natural science museum, an aquarium, and the birthplace of Maria Mitchell. The MMA conducts scientific research, leads classes and workshops for people of all ages year-round, and welcomes thousands of visitors to its museums and observatories.

Beachcombing from page 9

I recently took my three-year-old nephew beachcombing down on the Brant Point beach. This isn’t really a swimming beach, but it has tons of shells. Perfect for some combing. It is called Brant Point beach because of the

Brant Point lighthouse, which happens to be the second oldest established lighthouse in North America. Most people go to Brant Point for a little fishing or to watch the boats ebb and flow into the harbor. As my nephew and I methodically collected seashell after seashell, we discussed potential projects to 4805 Toppers Endless Afternoons YI July 7_TOPPER'S 6/21/16 1:33 PM Page 1 continued on page 32

Digginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Clams from page 10

Preheat the oven to 450F Wash the clams and steam them in boiling water just until the shells open. Discard any clams that do not open. Remove the clams from their shells; reserve the shells. Rinse the clams in the broth and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic, and red and green bell peppers. Cook, stirring often, until soft.

Add the bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until heated and fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the breadcrumbs, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, chopped parsley, salt, paprika and pepper.

Place 12 clam shells on a baking dish. Lay a clean steamed clam in a shell and spoon the stuffing mixture on a top, sprinkle with cheese, and dot with butter.

Bake the stuffed clams until the crumbs are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately arrange on a platter or warmed individual plates. Serve with the lemon wedges and fresh dill.

Consideration

signs, and wave thanks to the kind souls who let me through the intersection.

Driving, and living, on Nantucket requires interaction with everyone else, not isolation. The great irony of island living is that you come out here to get away from everyone else and find yourself more tightly connected to others than before. If you want to get away from everybody, you probably should move to Manhattan and enjoy the privileges of an anonymous city.

In the isolation of the mainland, you can operate safely and politely within rules, either clearly expressed or implied. You don’t stare. You don’t point. You don’t man-spread on the subway bench. Out here, without the benefit of clearly expressed rules, we have to get by with consideration. Consideration happens when you see yourself in other places, at other stools, behind other wheels. To be considerate requires the Atticus Finch set of footwear; you have to walk around in someone else’s flip-flops (or heels) for a while.

Unfortunately, we live in an age of privilege. Those of us who have seen the winds of winter feel that we have the privilege of ownership and residence; we know things and we know people and we are known. In a phrase: “We live here.” At the same time, many of our visitors feel that they have the privilege of money and birth. They have bought a membership in the Nantucket Club and, as the ad said, “Membership has its privileges.”

Privilege, in short, is about assessing how you are different from other people, while consideration acknowledges that you aren’t all that different after all.

Privilege asserts while consideration defers. The island, small and jammed as it is, forces you to remember that we are all brothers from another mother, whether we are the Millennial on the beach or the Boomer on the Adirondack chair. Both are on top of the sand for this one moment, enjoying the July sun. Better than the alternative.

from page 5

tional isn’t as crucial when you have pulled over into a special lane and slowed to a stop.

More to the point, your car is even more isolated and isolating than it used to be. Almost every car has been sealed into silence, and then filled with the digital companionship of Beyonce, Kanye, or Golden Earring. With Bluetooth, you don’t even have to listen to the radio. The car will play your same favorite hundred songs over and over again without interruption from someone else’s taste or algorithm. Casey Kasem waves at you from the sidewalk, and the traffic is updated on Waze. Our cars are extensions of our phones; soon some genius will hook up our blinkers to an app and the connection will be complete.

Unfortunately, Nantucket roads and drivers look back on the nineteenth century fondly. They require more attention than our phones can afford and the rules that govern. Islander Interactions don’t follow the rules and privileges that either the algorithms, your father, or the State Police recognize. Driving on Nantucket requires not only keeping your eyes on the narrow streets, but on the eyes of everyone else behind the wheel. Can she see me? Will she let me go? Did she put her phone down?

I have found that the best safety device on island is an open window. If the driver and passenger windows are open, the fog won’t build up on them, and I can connect to the world. I can hear the bicyclist heaving behind the hedge, the mother with her jog stroller, and the cement mixer lumbering up the road. More importantly, I can signal to the other cars. With my window down, I can gesture the bicycle to pass in front of me, point out which of the five roads I will be taking at the five way stop

Beachcombing from page 29

create once our beachcombing was complete. I mean, what are you really going to do with all those fantastic finds once you get them home? I suggested making a sailor’s valentine. Him, only being three, naturally had no idea what I was talking about, but happily agreed.

A sailor’s valentine is an ornate and detailed design made entirely out of seashells. They were brought home by sailors and given to their loved ones.

There are examples of these beautiful creations in the Whaling Museum and in shop windows throughout town. While beachcombing, in order to create a sailor’s valentine, it is helpful to have an idea or potential design in your head when you begin your collection. Keep in mind: when you are combing with young children, there is no plan! Go with the flow. Which is what I had to do with my little guy as he threw everything and anything into his bucket.

Once our collection was complete, we went home and washed, sorted, and dried our shells. I cut out an octagonal shape out of cardboard and we began carefully placing our shells onto the surface. After squeezing many of the shells onto the sailor’s valentine, with no rhyme or reason, I went back and carefully glued the seashells down using a hot glue gun, but any superglue would work. It honestly did not look all that bad! I may have to try this again with some older children and see what creative designs they come up with.

So the next time you spot something special while wandering along the ocean shores, comb away and get creative with your kids. Something as simple as collecting shells at the beach can turn into a fun event ending in a homemade souvenir and make meaningful memories with your family.

Happy beachcombing!

Books & Publications On This Day in Nantucket History

by Amy Jenness available at Mitchell’s Book Corner and The Whaling Museum Gift Shop Quirky & fascinating stories that shaped this island

Nantucket is much more than beautiful beaches and sailboats. One day at a time, author Amy Jenness offers up quirky and fascinating stories of the people and events that shaped this remote island. On August 11, 1841, Frederick Douglass made his first antislavery speech at the Nantucket Atheneum. The Great Fire of July 13, 1846, devastated the island, forcing residents to rebuild what they lost. On December 5, 1981, a nor’easter stranded nearly two thousand visitors and forced seventeen pilot whales to come ashore. Read a story a day or month at a time. Celebrate an entire year of Nantucket history. ON THIS DAY IN NANTUCKET HISTORY is available for sale at Mitchell’s Book Corner and the Whaling Museum Gift Shop.
