Reasonable DoubtThe Nantucket Historical Association (NHA), in partnership with Theatre

Workshop of Nantucket (TWN), is pleased to announce their fourth collabo-ration of 2014 with the staged reading of Twelve Angry Men on Friday,September 12, 2014, at the NHA’s Quaker Meeting House, 7 Fair Street.

Originally written by Reginald Rose in 1954 as a teleplay for CBS, TwelveAngry Men is a courtroom drama about the deliberation of a jury over ahomicide trial. At the beginning, all jurors are in agreement of a guilty ver-dict until one lone member, Juror #8, murmurs the question of reasonabledoubt, creating one of the most compelling stories ever to take the Americanstage. Re-written for the theatre in 1955 and adapted as a film in 1957 star-ring Henry Fonda, Twelve Angry Men remains as relevant today as ever,exploring the repercussions of our decisions in life and death.

“We are thrilled to be sharing this historic property with the Nantucketcommunity and our friends at Theatre Workshop of Nantucket,” says MarjanShirzad, NHA Director of Visitor Experience. “The NHA’s Quaker MeetingHouse will provide an intimate, evocative backdrop to a seminal piece ofAmerican theater, and we can't wait to see it come to life through the tal-ented actors of the Theatre Workshop."

Constructed by the Society of Friends as a school in 1838, the QuakerMeeting House is the island’s last surviving meeting house. Purchased fromthe Friends by the NHA in 1894, it was used as the association’s first muse-um until the fireproof building was erected on Fair Street, now the NHAResearch Library. In the 1940s, Quakers on Nantucket formed a worshipgroup, and with the permission of the NHA began to meet informally onceagain in the meeting house.

“TWN is thrilled to be back at the NHA's Quaker Meeting House with thisstunning courtroom drama, which is so well-suited to the historic location,”says Gabrielle Gould, TWN Executive Director and director of Twelve AngryMen. “Following on the success of our collaboration in 2011 of The Crucibleat the Quaker Meeting House, we look forward to exploring this dramaticplay and continuing to bring theater and history together.”

Space is limited. Tickets are $20 per person and can be purchased atwww.nha.org/tickets or by calling (508) 228-1894.


The PerfectMarriage?

by Carri L. WroblewskiBRIX Wine Shop

It’s September, the big crowds have returned home, and once again wereclaim the island after a bustling summer. For all of the entertaining that wehelped other people do in July and August, it’s time for us to kick back, relax,and have a party of our own.

But the key word is relax and after a long summer we want to keep it sim-ple, invite our friends over that we haven’t seen in two months, and catch up.So toss aside your elaborate menus, give the grill a break, and grab somewine and cheese for a simple, yet mouth-watering evening.

But, where do you begin and how do you know what cheese pairs withwhat wine?

Start with one easy question: are they made for each other? One of themost challenging things about pairing wine and cheese together is that thereare so many different types of cheese and so many varying styles of wine.Cheeses can differ in texture, fat content, and flavor while wines have a rangeof acidity, tannins, sweetness, and body. How do you play matchmaker andassure your pairings go off without a hitch? Here are some tasty tips to suc-cessfully marry the flavors of two of life’s most delicious pleasures.

IF IT GROWS TOGETHER, IT GOES TOGETHEROne of my wine consultants in Boston introduced me to this phrase a

number of years ago, and not only do I love it, I reference it often. The easi-est way to think about it is pairing wine and cheese by the region they comefrom. For instance, think about the combination of a fresh goat’s milk cheesefrom France’s Loire Valley paired with a Loire Valley Sancerre or Pouilly Fumé.The acidity, minerality, and grassy notes of the Sauvignon Blanc are the per-

September Brideby Robert P. Barsanti

The wedding party was leaving. On Friday, they had fallen out of the catalogs and arrived at the back bar

on the Gray Lady II. Then, over the course of the weekend, they drifted fromchurch to beach to “Where-O-Where House” to Chicken Box to Inn toDownyflake and points unknown until they coalesced on Sunday night atthe Hy-Line Dock. We spotted the Bride because she was wearing a whitet-shirt that proclaimed her name and she stood in the center of four women.The Groom was still being a good sport, wearing his matching shirt andstanding alongside, carrying two bottles of water.

The Sheriff and I watched the group line up. They were impossiblyyoung, impossibly good looking, and clad in impossibly tight pants.

“Another set of happy customers on their way back home.” He said.They weren’t all that happy right now. The sun glasses had been put to

good use, everyone carried a small bottle of Poland Spring water (possiblyfrom a gift bag) and they weren’t happy with the line. Yet, they posed hand-somely at the very edge of youth. Age had only touched them, with a gen-tle change of color. Strollers, budgets, and diets waited for them. But fornow, they had friends to text, selfies to send and see, and the last swigs ofyouth to guzzle.

I patted the Sheriff on the back. “I hope they tipped their waiters andwaitresses.”

He smiled and walked away.Eventually, the Gray Lady II returned and welcomed the wedding party

back onboard. The bar, I suspected, would not be quite so busy on the wayback. They had a distance to drive on Labor Day evening and CaptainMorgan doesn’t navigate as well as you would think he would. The brideand groom would have to take the t-shirts off sooner or later. I thought ofhim pumping gas in Bourne in his bright white shirt, or the two of them sit-ting down to Big Macs at the Charlton rest stop on the Mass Pike. Someone

The milkweed plants are everywhere, waiting to host one of their prima-ry users, the monarch butterfly. Hundreds of other insects occupy the plantsusing every inch of them for food and shelter. Two years ago I wrote aboutthe sea of milkweeds at the Nantucket Field Station and this year, just asmany, if not more, have popped up. The milkweeds are the only host plantfor the larva of the monarch and scientists believe that one reason for thecontinent-wide decline in monarch numbers is due to a loss of milkweedhabitat in the U.S. Milkweed flowers bloom from June to August, and arevisited by many species of moths, butterflies, bees, and other insects.Milkweed is a shelter and hiding place for other species as well. YellowJackets eat bees and flies which get trapped in the flowers, and crab spidersambush visiting insects. Monarch butterflies, milkweed bugs, and milkweedleaf beetles only eat milkweed and could not survive without it.

For years, September has been “monarch time” on Nantucket. The pasttwo years we have not seen nearly as many monarch butterflies here, whichis a pattern that has been repeated across the country. Researchers tell usthere are three main reasons for this: bad weather including drought andhigh temperatures and storms over the past 2-3 years have literally stoppedthese majestic creatures in their tracks; deforestation in Mexico has reducedthe forest habitat they require for breeding and overwintering; and the useof pesticides, especially in the Midwest, has reduced the population of milk-weeds.

The World Wildlife Fund has been recording numbers of monarchs andthe reduction in hibernation acreage for years. In 2013, scientists recordedthe lowest number of monarchs arriving in Mexico in the twenty years thatthey had been observing them. Monarchs take two months to reach forestsin Mexico as they migrate down through the US from Canada. The easiestway to count them is to record how many arrive to cover every tree in

Mexico. The total hectares of occupied habitat can be easily measured andcorrelates exactly to the population because monarchs need to overwintertogether to survive. That area has shrunk drastically from an average of 30acres in the mid-90s to less than 10 acres today as measured by scientistsworking at Mexican butterfly sanctuaries.

The monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is a milkweed butterfly (sub-family Danainae), in the family Nymphalidae. It is perhaps the best knownof all North American butterflies. It is thought that the colonists were soimpressed by this species that they named it “monarch” in honor of “KingWilliam, Prince of Orange, stateholder of Holland, and later King ofEngland.” Both genus and species name is linked to the Greek mythologytale of Danaus.

The monarch butterfly’s obsession with milkweed plants is a survivalmechanism. Most milkweeds contain cardiac glycosides, which are chemi-cals that affect heart rhythms. The cardiac glycosides are stored in the bod-ies of both the caterpillar and adult in various sections and concentrations.These poisons are distasteful and emetic (causes vomiting) to birds andother vertebrate predators. After tasting a monarch, a predator will associ-ate the bright warning colors of the adult or caterpillar with an unpleasantmeal, and avoid monarchs in the future. The beautiful colors of both the lar-val and adult Monarch are a warning not to eat them; the term for that isaposematism or warning coloration. Certain predators have a high toler-ance level to the chemical defenses produces by monarch butterflies.Species such as the black-beaked orioles and the black headed grosbeaksare common monarch predators that can tolerate an increased level of car-diac glycosides. The flower nectar and pollen does not have glycosides in it,so bees and nectar imbibing insects do not become poisonous. There are a

Honoring LifesaversNantucket’s history is filled with tales of heroic lifesaving efforts by everyday

citizens and those who went above and beyond the call of duty. Honoring thattradition, the Egan Maritime Institute and Nantucket Cottage Hospital are recog-nizing two modern-day lifesavers during the annual Lifesavers Recognition Dayat the Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum on Thursday, September 11.

This year the Nantucket community members being honored are MarthaLake-Greenfield and Collin Perry.

Martha Lake-Greenfield, RN, is the nurse manager of Nantucket CottageHospital’s Emergency Department and head of the NCH Emergency ManagementTeam. Martha brings knowledge, professionalism, compassion, leadership, andcamaraderie to the lifesaving efforts of Nantucket Cottage Hospital, and plays acritical role in preparing the hospital for disasters and crises.

Collin Perry is the head lifeguard for the Town of Nantucket. Perry upholdsthe Nantucket lifeguard motto of “Prevention, Preparedness and ProfessionalResponse.” Due to his leadership qualities, he was recently promoted to the posi-tion of head lifeguard. Perry’s efforts as a first responder to a person in distressin Nantucket Harbor during the early morning hours of August 16, demonstratedthe best qualities of a lifeguard in a difficult situation.

The Lifesavers Recognition Day is an annual event held at the NantucketShipwreck & Lifesaving Museum, and invitations are required. Egan MaritimeInstitute is committed to ensuring Nantucket’s maritime tradition. TheirNantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum is a proud island institution that cel-ebrates the heroism of those brave Nantucketers who risked their lives to rescueothers. Egan’s newest initiative, Sea of Opportunities (SOO) is an unprecedent-ed collaboration between Egan Maritime Institute, Nantucket Public Schools,Nantucket New School and Nantucket Lighthouse School. SOO will bridge themaritime world with today’s young Nantucketers by introducing a maritime cur-riculum that will expose students to maritime careers, trades and sciences.

Nantucket Cottage Hospital is an affiliate of the Massachusetts GeneralHospital and member of Partners HealthCare. Founded in 1911, the hospitalmaintains a deep tradition of providing a full range of high-quality health andwellness services in a safe, compassionate environment.

Eye on Stylenantucket’s

by Sarah Morneau

With 25 years of experience making and selling jewelry on the island and 11years on Old South Wharf, Emilly Rubin took the opportunity at the end of lastyear’s season to make the move uptown from the wharves. Last week’s articlefocused on the Sweet Liddle section of the store, and this week we will take acloser look at Emilly Brooke Rubin Jewelry, the handmade jewelry portion of thestore.

Packing up her two shops and fitting them together logistically into the newand larger location on Centre Street was a challenge, but well executed. You

enter the fun and funky Sweet Liddle from the side-walk and sectioned off with draped curtainstowards the back of the store is the elegant jewel-ry boutique. The space is very much a part of thewhole store but feels separate, with a selection ofEmilly’s gorgeous creations adorning the walls andsparkling within the glass cases.

Emilly’s new and larger workshop is locatedin the rear of the building, just past the jewelry dis-plays, so you can be sure everything is still madeon premise by the artist herself. For a woman whois passionate about what she does, the biggerspace allows for a more personal connection withher clients, there is room to work and to meetcomfortably with her loyal customers.

While there is always a selection of jewelry for purchase, custom pieces arewhat Emilly specializes in. She designs her jewelry for her clients, taking intoconsideration their personal style, skin tone, and color preferences. She has along relationship with her pearl suppliers, meaning prices are reasonable andthe quality can’t be beat. When youbuy from Emilly Brooke Rubin Jewelryyou know you are getting a one-of-a-kind piece made on Nantucket by theartist.

Emilly Brooke Rubin Jewelry andSweet Liddle are open daily in sea-son, and will remain open throughthe holiday season.

The Nantucket Cottage Hospital Pink Glove Dance video was producedby Lisa Frey of Nantucket Event Media, and features NCH staff, cancerpatients and survivors, as well as community members dancing to “Best Dayof My Life” by American Authors next to some of the island’s iconic land-marks, and symbolically waving cancer goodbye.

“As we danced around the island with our pink gloves, it wasn’t aboutthe dancing ability of the dancers as much as it was about the unity of pur-pose in this project,” said Betsey Minihan, the NCH Nursing Departmentadministrative assistant, who choreographed the video. “You never knowwho you are standing next to: the woman who lost her 30-year-old-daugh-ter, the co-worker who you have known for 35 years or the newly diag-nosed—we are all touched by breast cancer in one way or another. If ourvideo spreads awareness in any way, we will have accomplished what weset out to do.”

This is the fourth year of the Pink Glove Dance video competition spon-sored by Medline, a supplier of medical, surgical and pharmaceutical prod-ucts. The competition started because of the overwhelming and enthusias-tic response to the original Pink Glove Dance video, featuring 200 workersfrom Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Oregon, USA danc-ing in support of breast cancer awareness and prevention.

few monarch butterfly imitators like the viceroy butterfly(Limenitis archippus) who employ a defense mechanismcalled Batesian mimicry, in which a potentially tastyspecies attempts to mimic an unpalatable species in anattempt to increase its survival rate.

Milkweedsuse three pri-mary defensesto limit dam-age caused bycaterpi l lars :hairs on theleaves, carde-nolide (bittertasting) toxinswhich form

those cardiac glycosides, and latex fluids. Monarch lar-vae and other caterpillars have developed feeding tech-niques to avoid the latex and cardenolides in the sap. Ofcourse no one feels sorry for the poor milkweed beingpredated upon by caterpillars, but they have developedsome coping mechanisms including learning to growfaster. Data from a DNA study indicate more recentlyevolved milkweed species depend less on hairs and tox-ins (hairy toxins?) but grow faster than older species,potentially regrowing faster than caterpillars can con-sume them. This may help reconstitute milkweeds inareas in which overzealous highway crews have moweddown all the habitat needed for the monarchs as they flysouth.

Monarch butterflies begin their annual migrationfrom Canada and the United States to central Mexico inlate summer with the peak in travelers for our area typ-ically passing through in September around the 8-20.Their trip may be as long as 3,000 miles, an amazing featconsidering their size and the weather they have toendure. No other butterfly manages to make such a longtwo-way trip. Other butterfly species may travel longdistances one way, but the monarch will go south in thewinter in order to survive over the winter months, trav-eling together en masse after making that trip north theprevious spring. There are populations of monarchs inCalifornia, Florida, and Texas that don't migrate, but themajority of monarchs do.

As fall approaches, the monarchs are born that willmake that long trip south, waiting to mate until the fol-lowing spring. They store fat in their abdomens as anenergy reserve for their long trip and to sustain them-selves over the several months of hibernation-like inac-tivity in Mexico. When they first arrive at their winter

locations in November, monarchs gather into clusters inthe trees. By December and January, when the weatheris at its coldest, the monarchs will be tightly packed intodense clusters of hundreds or even thousands of butter-flies. By mid-February these clusters of butterflies beginto break up and the monarchs will begin to gather nec-tar. In the spring they will reproduce and their offspringwill make the return trip to the north, completing thecycle which is in essence a massive multi-generationalrelay race. The original butterfly dies along the way, butthe offspring it leaves behind continues on to the northwhere the cycle will start again in the fall.

Lincoln Brower, a professor of biology at Sweet BriarCollege, has studied the monarch migrations fordecades. He describes the conditions that have createdthis severe drop in population. A severe drought inTexas reduced the nectar available to monarchs on theirtrip south. Fewer monarchs would then survive over thewinter because they were “too skinny”—in other words,their fat reserves were inadequate. The habitat they findwhen they arrive in Mexico is disappearing due to illegallogging. There is no room at the inn, because there is noinn. Last but not least, a combination of drought andheat in the summer and early fall and cold fronts andstorms in the spring thwart the migrating animals.

His research showed in one mountainous area inMexico the populations have been declining for twentyyears: “ The colonies are spread across twelve mountainranges in Mexico, and in the biggest year on record theycovered 21 hectares. Two years ago, that was down to2.89 hectares. Last year, it was down to about 1.19hectares. That's a highly significant trend.”

The World Wildlife Fund report showed that thingswere even worse with the habitat occupied by butterfliesat an all-time low of at 0.67 hectares. In a WashingtonPost interview, Brower commented that a cold front pre-vented remigration north and that last year an entiregeneration of monarchs was lost. Monarchs go throughseveral generations during their round trip migrationand one major hiccup can put a significant dent in thepopulation.

There is not much that can be done about the weath-er, and it is too early to tell if climate change is effectingthe Mexican forests, but we can do a lot about herbi-cides, especially “Round-Up” (glyphosate) related onesthat severely threaten monarch and many other nativeinsects including bees. The herbicide use itself is not theonly culprit, it creates a cascade effect of glyphosate-resistant super weeds and has also led to the creation ofgenetically modified crops to make them resistant toglyphosate. ”These crops are planted in the grasslandecosystems of the United States, where the monarchs domost of their breeding. And normally in that area there

are milkweed growing all over the place on the agricultural fields and theedges of fields and the sides of roads. There are 108 species of milkweed inthe United States — the whole monarch migration evolved in relation toevolution of this milkweed flora,” explained Brower

“Anyway, where they use these herbicides, it kills all emergent seedlingsand all the emergent perennial plants. A paper last year by John Pleasantsof the University of Iowa and Karen Oberhauser of the University ofMinnesota estimated that 60 percent of milkweed has been eliminated fromthe grassland ecosystem. We're not just talking about one species, we'retalking about the entire native flora being eliminated.” .

Solutions for both the Midwest and our east coast migration zonesinclude not mowing roadsides and leaving wildflower zones for monarchsto feast on as they move south. For fields treated with herbicide, leaving awide “pesticide free” buffer zones helps to reduce the amount of “friendlyfire” incidents.

To see these beautiful butterflies, check out Smooth Hummocks areaowned by the Land Bank and Nantucket Conservation Foundation offMadaket Road near the water fountain and Barrett Farm road turnoff or any-where large open meadows and sand plain grasslands are covered withgoldenrod and asters in bloom. According to the Massachusetts AudubonFind a Butterfly website, we should keep our eyes peeled over the next fewweeks. “Aggregations are most regularly seen along the coast as well as inassociation with other leading lines such as river valleys and ridgelines.While each Monarch is an independent traveler, congregations are regular-ly observed especially at the coast and on cold nights at communal roosts.Migrants display highly directional flight when winds are favorable. Underadverse conditions, such as strong southwesterly winds, the migrants mayoften be found nectaring or just "hunkered down" awaiting a change in theweather.” If you get a chance to work with Emily Molden of the NantucketLand Council on monarch tagging, I highly recommend it, assuming wehave monarchs to tag. Let’s hope for smooth sailing and perfect weather forour spectacular migrating guests.

was going to drip the Special Sauce down the front.Then the shirts would go into a bag, the bag would goonto a shelf, and everyone would get along with the restof their lives.

The island does not make it easy to leave inSeptember. The air remains warm, the bluefish are bit-ing, and sidewalks are empty. On Saturday, the beachesand the parking lots are full of the usual Connecticutgeniuses and New York wise men. Then, on Sunday, thelots are half full with rusted out island cars.

Summer remains, like a baseball game going intoextra innings. The fans file out, looking over their shoul-der for one more miracle. The heat will build again, aswill the surf, and the southwest breeze. But the surfersand the kite boarders will be back in Boston andWashington D.C. They will step aboard a boat, like thisone, and watch another perfect sailing day pass as theytoss their pennies and head out past Brant Point. Thewedding party continues to roll, even after all of theguests have left. They stand on the rear deck even as theDJ continues to play.

For many years, I spent the summer off island. Assoon as the crowds started to build for the Fourth of July,I would slip off and head to graduate school in Vermont.Then, in the beginning of September, I would ride one ofthe empty boats back. I missed the clown show thatAugust could become, but I also missed the beauty andgrace of an island summer. I came to the wedding justafter the bride had changed into her regular clothes.

In September, the party has calmed down. The wait-resses and bartenders have cleaned up the tables and

are sitting in a corner. The tent remains, the dance floorhas been swept, and the left over cake slices wait onsmall plates. Most of the guests have filed out beforeSinatra has finished with “The Summer Wind” but thecandles burn, the flowers are in bloom, and wine is stillcold.

In those early days of school, when we were justlearning the student’s names and hadn’t put all theposters up, the heat of summer would loom just outsidethe windows. In those moments, I would put off puttingborders on the bulletin boards and posting my class-room rules so that I could drive out to Madaquechamand ride the empty waves into the shore. I would swimout to the sand bar, ride the wave all the way into thesand fleas, and then swim out again. After enoughwaves had passed, I sat up on the beach, read whateverbook I carried with me, and eventually napped. Nobodytalked to me, saw me, or bothered me. Only one car wasparked in the lot and he left plenty of room for everyoneelse.

The party slowly ends; the bride and groom put awaythe t-shirts and return to the world of credit checks andvalidated parking. The wedding dress goes into storage,along with the tuxedo, the party favors, and even thephotos. In the end, what is left, is each other. Theleaves turn and fall, the frost comes before the snow,and then the stars burn bright and unblinking in aDecember sky.

To live on Nantucket is to have a marital love. Youremain beyond the party and the photos to the bills andthe cold and the hot coffee in mugs in the winter morn-ings before you go to work. To live on Nantucket is topress on through the years, wing-to-wing and oar-to-oar.

fect companion to the tang of the goat’s milk cheese. Another popular region-al pairing is that of Manchego and Rioja. Spain’s most popular sheep’s milkcheese sings when quaffed with a glass of fruity Tempranillo. And for aFrench classic try Époisses de Bourgogne, the decadent and pungent pasteur-ized cow’s milk round that is made in Burgundy, France, where the rind iswashed with a local brandy called Marc de Bourgogne. A traditional pairingwith this creamy indulgence is a red Burgundy (Pinot Noir) from the samegrowing area.

TEXTURE: TWO OF A KIND, OPPOSITES ATTRACTSome of the best pairings can be made when you put together flavor pro-

files that are similar to each other. And yet, contrasting flavors also createinteresting combinations. A rich, creamy cheese like Camembert teamed upwith a rich white wine like Chardonnay can make a seamless match and bringout the best in each other. One of my favorite “opposites attract” combos isthe famous cheese Brillat-Savarin from France sipped alongside a glass ofChampagne. Brillat-Savarin is a triple crème cheese named after the 18thCentury epicure who once said, “Tell me what you eat, and I’ll tell you whoyou are.” Made from 75% butterfat this rich, creamy cheese begs to be pairedwith a refreshing flute of bubbles to help cut through the fat.

TAMING THE TANNINSTannins in wine are the elements that give you that dry, puckering feeling

in the mouth after you take a sip of wine. You find it predominantly in redswines where it can also give you the sensation of bitterness and astringency.But choosing the right cheese to partner with that delicious bottle of red thatyou just opened can be trickier than you think. Because wines have varyinglevels of tannin and acid they can compete with different flavors of cheese.Big, tannic red wines are great counterparts to aged cheeses that have a lotof richness. The tannins cling to the fat and protein in cheese, which in turn“clean” your palate after each bite. On the flipside, pairing a tannic wine witha young cheese can leave you with an astringent flavor and an unsavory after-taste. So if you like your reds rich, try them with aged cheddar, Compté,Pecorino, Gouda, Manchego, or Parmigiano-Reggiano.

FEELING BLUE?Just like in love, sometimes it doesn’t work out. Matching wine with blue

cheese can be one of the most challenging pairings and often one of the mostmismatched. Many of us naturally gravitate to red wine when we get that ripepiece of Gorgonzola Dolce or Stilton, but not so fast. Though some red winescan stand up to the bold flavors of blue cheese, it is not necessarily the idealpairing. Blue cheese tends to be sharp, salty, and pungent. A natural combi-nation is a wine that has a hint of sweetness, so it can balance out the salti-ness of the cheese. Grab yourself a bottle of Sauternes, tawny port, Madeira,or sherry and a hunk of Fourme d’Ambert or Jasper Hill Farms Bayley HazenBlue, and you’ll be all set. Still want to drink red? Amarone is a great go-towine when you’re feeling like a little blue.

The bottom line—wine changes the way cheese tastes and cheesechanges the way wine tastes. The simple introduction of another flavor oneither end can send your palate in a different direction. But pairing themtogether doesn’t have to be complicated and these are just tips, not rules. Sohave some fun, keep it simple, open whatever wine you have on hand, andinvite your friends over for some cheese. After all, no marriage is perfect.

2013 WinnerPatrick Sampson

An island hotel used to advertise that summer on Nantucket “is fiveSeptembers long.” There are many reasons to savor this month here: thesparkling September weather with warm days and cool nights, the calmer pace,the easy parking, and the empty beaches. We look forward to fun local eventslike the Maritime Festival, Halloween on Main Street, live music at CiscoBrewery, and trivia contests at local nightspots. Best of all, we can walk into ourfavorite restaurants without a reservation and get a table or seat at the bar.September on Nantucket belongs to us!

Here are our choices for “Best Bites” of the season: these are our favoritedishes among those we tasted during our Featured Restaurant visits—appetizersand entrees that we’d love to have again. These restaurants are still open dur-ing September, but some will close for the season in just a few weeks, so don’twait to try them! For photos of each of these Best Bites, visit www.yesterdaysis-land.com

A delightful combination of tender meatand creamy indulgence, the cold Rabbit &Foie Gras Terrine was a favorite appetizerearly this season. Juicy wedges of bloodorange brighten the savory terrine, and carrotconfit, mustard seed, hazlenuts, radish sticks,and crisp pumpernickle crumbs add a kaleido-scope of color and a fun crunch. There are somany ways to approach this dish that there isnew pleasure in every bite.

If Chef Patrick Ridge is offering his Veal Sweetbreads the evening youdine at Island Kitchen, don’t hesitate to order appetizer. To us, this dishembodies the wonderful mix of sensibilities at this restaurant: fun and fancy,haute cuisine and casual café. The bite-sized sweetbreads are sauteed andnestled into a light and creamy polenta flavored with blue cheese but notoverpowered by it. A pool of dark, rich veal demi-glaze surrounds thesweetbreads and crispy onion rings are stacked on top.

There’s an entire section called Shareables on the new NIXS menu, andwe recommend the Lobster Knuckle Sliders—four-bite sandwiches sport-ing some of the best lobstersalad we’ve had (heavy on thelobster meat and light on themayo), pickled cucumbers, let-tuce, and a dab of “specialsauce” on sesame buns. Theycome three to a plate: two for you and one to share.NIXS Brew Pub • 15 S. Water Street • 508-680-7342 • nixsnantucket.com

The attention to detail and spot-on technique Chef Thomas WilliamPearson has brought to Brant Point Grill this year is evident in his Fresh

BPG Ricotta. This artis-tic composition builds ona contrast of flavors andtextures. Dollops of soft,snowy-white ricotta are

rich and creamy. Tucked alongside are thin tender-crisp spears of aspara-gus, delicately crunchy slivers of marcona almonds, spoonfuls of blackquinoa, and sweet honeycomb. We like this best in combination: somericotta with a couple of almonds, a little quinoa, and a bit of the honey-comb—creamy, crunchy, nutty, and sweet.

Chef Nimesh Maharjan’s PortobelloTortelli evoked a single word of descriptionfrom our team: WOW! Just the aroma of thisappetizer as it’s set before you is enough tomake you fall in love! The housemadetortellini are large and folded around a deli-cious mushroom stuffing. They’re set on anastonishingly good truffle cream sauce driz-zled with balsamic reduction. Fresh arugulaadds a peppery bite, and toasted shaved

almonds are the final touch. 29 Fair • 29 Fair Street • 508-228-7800

If you like foie, you will adore theHudson Valley Foie Gras Terrine at TOP-PER’S. This appetizer is a savory design ofshape and color. The foie is served in acake on a crust of pain d’epices, “iced” witha white yogurt geleé. Luscious sherry gas-trique is drizzled on the plate, and clustersof apricot in honey and olive oil with bits ofmarcona almonds and little seasonedsocca chips cut the lavish richness of thefoie.

The tasty Steamed Live Mussels at Easy Street Restaurant & SeafoodHouse could be an appetizer or a light meal. The plump mussels werecooked just right, tender, and deliciously flavored by a pool of broth withwhite wine, garlic, onion, tomato, and herbs.

Duck confit appears on Chef MichaelGetter’s menus at various times throughoutthe year, and no matter how he prepares it, it’salways one of our favorites. We adore hisHoisin BBQ Duck Confit, which has got tobe some of the best BBQ on the island! House-cured and slow cooked in classic fashion, theduck is tender, moist, and flavorful. The bbqsauce brings Asian flair to a sweet and tangyAmerican summertime favorite. A chilled, vinegary salad of pickled carrot,cucumber, and snow peas is served alongside with triangles of warm scal-lion pancake. A little of everything in each bite is the way to enjoy this dish.Dune • 20 Broad Street • 508-228-5550 • www.dunenantucket.com

We’re big fans of the Seafood Tacos, newthis season at Arno’s. Six varieties are offered:we sampled the halibut. The fish is nicely sea-soned, sauteed, and tucked into a warm flourtortilla on a bed of crisp lettuce, drizzled with asmoky chipotle aioli, and topped with slices ofavocado, and a chilled relish of tomato, onion,lime, cilantro, & jalapeno. The mix of flavorsand temperatures make these tacos very special.

Fried tortilla chips are served alongside with salsa that has a superb back-of-the-throat bite .

Arno’s Breakfast & Seafood Restaurant • 41 Main Street • 508-228-7001www.arnosnantucket.com

One of our favorite Rose & Crown entrees this season is GrilledMonkfish, which we have not seen on island menus in quite some time. Weforgot how delicious this “poor man’s lobster” can be. Chef James Taylorsure does know how to cook fish: the monkfish is firm, sweet, and moist.Overtop he ladels a mixture of sauteed wild mushrooms and big chunks oflobster meat, all in a velvety garlic cream sauce. Mashed potatoes aretucked under the fish, and a delicious sauté of mixed vegetables is servedalongside.

We can’t decide which we like better at Easy Street Cantina, so we’regoing to feature both their Clams and their Scallops in this Best Bites col-umn. The clams are dipped into a buttermilk batter before being fried justtill the outside is golden brown but the clams are still tender. The scallopsare coated in an egg batter and lightly cooked so they stay sweet and suc-culent.

Easy Street Cantina • Corner of Easy & Broad sts • 508-228-5418www.easystreetcantina.com

Our table favorite at this local eatery (though the vote was very close) isthe Black Tiger Shrimp Scampi. Unlike most scampi dishes, this version

has more shrimp than pasta: big, plumpshrimp that pop with flavor when youbite into them. The buttery sauce has justthe right balance of garlic, white wine,and lemon, and a scattering grape toma-toes and capers add color and morebright flavors. Much to the delight of onein our party who says he doesn’t like to work for his dinner, the shrimp areserved without tails. The Restaurant at Miacomet • 12 West Miacomet Road • 508-325-0335

We’d heard others rave about the steaks served at The Ships Inn, so we triedthe Dry Aged Sirloin “Steak au Poivre” and are happy to report that weagree! This steak is better than steak at many island restaurants who bill them-selves as “steakhouses.” The sirloin is very thick (we forgot our ruler, but we’dguess an inch-and-a-half), cooked exactly to temperature, and butter tender. It’sdrenched with a dark and deeply flavorful peppercorn sauce that has a pepperybite without being too hot. Snuggled alongside the steak is a potato gratin, twocooked carrots, and a bundle of haricot vert tied with a chive. The Ships Inn • 13 Fair Street • 508-228-0040 • shipsinnnantucket.com

We love Chef Peter Jannelle’s Seared Rare Tuna entree so much so thatwe returned just a few days later to enjoy it again! Seasoned with orangeoil and togarashi, the tuna is barely shown the heat, sliced, and servedchilled with a sprinkling of black and white sesame seeds. Alongside thetuna are alternating dollops of pickled ginger aioli and a housemade nuoccham with just enough heat to make you pay attention. The final delight onthis chilled entree is a udon noodle salad with edamame, carrot, snow peas,& wakame. Fifty-Six Union • 56 Union Street • 508-228-6135 • fiftysixunion.com

Our table favorite at this meal was ChefSteven Haverson’s Lobster and Fresh CornRisotto. The risotto is perfectly creamy, and welove the kernels of corn stirred into it that popwith sweetness. Nearly a pound-and-a-half ofbutter-poached lobster meat is the crowningglory on this dish. Rich as it is, we happily pol-ished off every morsel of what surely is (or willbecome) a signature dish for the Breeze.

Breeze Bar & Café • 77 Easton St. • 508-228-4730 •breezebarandcafe.com

The Lobster B.L.T. stole the show among the casual fare selections atThe Brotherhood. The lobster salad is prepared with of chunks of sweet lob-ster claw and knuckle meat folded with a few crunchy bits of celery, a touchof mayo, and a squeeze of lemon. For the Lobster B.L.T., this is served ontop of thick slices of applewood smoked bacon, creamy avocado, and, ofcourse, lettuce and tomato. This sandwich has ruined us for life: we’ll neveragain be satisfied with a plain B.L.T.

BEACH SAFETY•Learn to swim. If you can’t swim an overhead stroke for at least 15 minutesyou should not be in the ocean. •Never swim alone. Always swim with abuddy, and swim near a lifeguard whenever possible. •Stay out of the “surfzone” where the waves break at the shoreline. Waves are at their greatestforce here, and even a small wave can lift you up and throw you headfirst intothe sand. •Never run from the beach into the water and dive headfirst intothe waves. Sandbars that cannot be seen from the surface may be presentand/or the water may be too shallow. •Don’t jump or dive into the waterfrom a pier or rock jetty. From a pier or jetty, water appears much deeperthan it really is. What looks like 10 or 20 feet of water may only be 2 to 3 feetdeep. Diving in could be fatal. The same applies for jumping headfirst intothe ocean or a wave from a surfboard – don’t do it! It’s not a risk worth tak-ing. •If you are body surfing or boogie boarding, always keep your arms outin front of you to protect your head and neck. •A rip current will pull youaway from the shore, but it will not pull you under. If you’re caught in a ripcurrent, 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 drinkalcohol or use drugs at the beach. It clouds your ability to make wise deci-sions, and that could be fatal! •Take direction from lifeguards at all times.
