Bravery comes in many forms. It can be the fi reman saving a family
from a burning home. It can be the athlete testing his or her physical
limits, or the diver testing the depths of the ocean. It can be the
American soldier fi ghting a war in a far off land.
Fourth of July is a celebration of American bravery no matter what
form it takes. Our July cover feature captures what bravery means
through the eyes of Sebastian Junger, the bestselling author who
gained world acclaim with his book, The Perfect Storm, and now
with his latest work, WAR.
Junger put himself in harm’s way as an embedded reporter in
Afghanistan with the goal of understanding the experience of soldiers
in combat. He learned of the complex lives of American troops on the
frontlines, and sometimes their more challenging lives on the home
front after returning from combat. Quite poignantly, our interview
came as Junger publically retired from combat reporting,
a decision catalyzed by the death of his friend and colleague
Tim Hetherington by mortar fi re in Libya this past April.
We also had the opportunity to photograph the members of the
Nantucket Fire Department. While enjoying the bucolic setting of
their job, local fi refi ghters can face grave danger at any moment.
Like soldiers, fi refi ghters are a special breed, often putting the lives
of others before their own.
Lest we forget that today’s Nantucket is the byproduct of a different
kind of bravery, that of whalers who set sail on unchartered waters to
harvest the fuel of the island’s early economy. The courageous acts of
Americans both past and present enable us to enjoy the wonderful life
we have on Nantucket today.
So on this Independence Day, we celebrate the American heroes that
protect our peace and serenity, and who continue to shape our future.
For that we need to take off our hats and salute America’s best on the
Fourth of July.
Best regards,
Bruce A. Percelay

There’s a new big cheese in town…well, actually, two
of them: Ethan and Jed Dupree of Dupree & Company,
Nantucket’s newest artisanal cheese and charcuterie
boutique on Old South Wharf.
The Duprees’ story starts like most on Nantucket: their
family spent summers here and the two fell in love with
the island. From there the brothers’ tale gets interesting.
Jed became a competitive fencer, ultimately sending him
to the Athens Olympics where his team finished fourth.
Meanwhile, Ethan came under the tutelage of Nantucket
wine expert, Michael Fahey, sparking a career in wine and cheese that ultimately
landed him enrolled at Lycee Viticole, a premier wine school in Beaune, France.
After all their travels, the two brothers found their way back to this faraway island to
open what is a truly delightful shop.
Dupree & Company offers a selection of high-end, slightly esoteric cheeses from
around the world. Although having a sweet spot for France, Ethan also recognizes the
small creameries and dairies in Vermont and California that are experiencing a renaissance.
He keeps a variety of saucissons on hand to pair with the cheeses. It’s a lovely setting
to sip wine while you make your purchases and admire the harbor view.
“I love the art of the picnic, the art of creating a table spread,” says Ethan. “One of
my favorite things to do is pack a bottle of wine, some cheese and a crusty baguette,
hit the bicycle and set up shop.” We could all use some more of that joie de vivre.

For those who fall in love with Nantucket, there is something particularly
rewarding about making a permanent contribution to the island. The new
Dreamland Theater offers many ways to literally put your name on Nantucket.
According to Wendy Schmidt, President of Dreamland’s board,
“We have wonderful opportunities for naming gifts to help complete
the Dreamland project, and we are relying
heavily on all ranges of contributions to make
this building a reality.”
One of the easiest ways to immortalize
yourself through the Dreamland is to buy a seat
in the theater. Each of the 330 built-in theater
seats will have a plaque naming the donor.
While $5,000 is a great deal of money, it can
represent a birthday present or an anniversary
gift that will last indefinitely. Schmidt says, “Investing in the Dreamland is a
way of expanding the appeal of Nantucket, not just for summer visitors but
year-round residents.” She also noted that beyond theater seats, there are
numerous larger scale opportunities for naming gifts at the Dreamland, and
that these larger donations will be instrumental in fully funding the project.
A Dream(land) of a gift
Thanks to the hard work of the board and careful planning of the
project, the Dreamland’s goal is to be virtually self-sustaining once the
capital campaign is complete. Here’s your chance to play a role in a
major production before the closing credits.

For over twenty years, David and Christina Wiggins have turned the interiors of some of Nantucket’s most beautiful historic homes into stunning masterpieces.
Written by rOBErT COCuzzO Photography by NATHAN COE
pAIntIng the
in thepASt preSent
he father-daughter decorating duo work as itinerate artists, traveling around the country and often
staying in the homes that serve as their canvases. Here on Nantucket, their dazzling murals and
period paintings revive the true appearance of early American interiors.
When speaking of his work, David is driven to action. He jumps to his feet, and starts waving an imaginary
brush through the air. His eyes glaze a bit as he envisions a room: “When I am painting a mural, I don’t think
that I am doing an illustration. I don’t think that I am doing a picture, or a canvas painting.” His voice flutters
with excitement: “The mural is about the color, the rhythm, and the atmosphere it makes in the room… I want
the mural to look like it grew there.” It’s in these impassioned moments of David gliding around an imaginary
canvas that one begins to appreciate what he is doing: he is leaving a piece of himself on the walls.
Artistically, Christina is the yin to David’s yang. Where David might throw down a strong, masculine stroke,
Christina moves in and softens it with her feminine touch. Where David strikes a free flowing, gestural line,
Christina counters with a precise rendering. Over the course of the production, the two piggyback seamlessly.
Their collaboration has been years in the making, starting when Christina was fourteen years old, painting
closets for her father.
t
David first came to Nantucket at the end of the 1980s when antique dealer Wayne Pratt hired him to paint an
interior in his home. Living in Pratt’s attic, David painted a magnificent mural that quickly won him clients.
He soon became enamored with the island, and bought a home on York Street where he moved his family.
During his early years on the island, David collaborated with artist Kevin Paulsen. Today, the 68 year-old
decorative artist is credited for returning many of Nantucket’s interiors to their true historic appearance.
Before David’s arrival, island homes were decorated in a “slick,” “beachy” style that scarcely resembled
those of Melville’s Nantucket.
David and Christina employ more than just paint to transport a room back to nineteenth-century America.
Their team also consists of carpenters and craftsmen who furbish authentic cabinets and furniture from
old-growth white pine and recycled timber. When given full control over a room, David says, “We can
make a complete environment...the whole room becomes a work of art.”
One only has to enter one of these rooms to realize how right he is. Each achieves a regal aesthetic that
elevates the space to something more than just another room in a home. It is as if David and Christina’s
brush strokes were directed by the subtle murmurs of the walls, drawing out the soul of the space.

t a time when modern style is beginning to edge its way into the Nantucket decorating vernacular, David and Christina Wiggins bring back the past in ways both timeless and timely.

Giving voice to American heroism from land to sea
Few places celebrate Independence Day quite like Nantucket; from the water fi ght downtown to
the fi reworks over the harbor, there is no shortage of patriotism come Fourth of July. Yet so often
forgotten amidst the beach barbeques and cocktail parties are the many young men and women
actively fi ghting to preserve this way of life for us. On a day when we enjoy all the fruits of
being American, it is important to pause and remember those who make our freedoms possible.
It was in this spirit that N sat down with Sebastian Junger. Starting in 2007, the Massachusetts
native—famous for his 1997 international bestseller The Perfect Storm—spent fi fteen months
following an American platoon in one of the most violent regions of Afghanistan, the Korengal
Valley. His New York Times bestseller WAR and Oscar-nominated documentary Restrepo reveal
the lives of soldiers and the impact of combat. During Junger’s last visit to Nantucket, he spoke
at the Atheneum about the heroism of a group of Gloucester fi sherman. Thirteen years later, the
characters have changed, but the theme remains powerfully the same.

he veteran war correspondent
lives up to his tough guy
mystique. He possesses a quiet
intensity. Yet behind his rugged exterior is not
machismo, but a deep level of refl ection.
“No one is born with bravery. You cannot buy
bravery,” he says in a gravelly voice. “It’s a
decision, and everyone has access to that
decision, but not everyone takes it. The ones that
do wind up in platoons like the one I was in.”
Junger was embedded with Battle Company, an
American platoon stationed at a remote outpost
on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Named
OP restrepo after the platoon’s fallen medic,
the crude encampment had no running water,
minimal electricity, and came under fi re daily.
Junger ventured out to this no man’s land not
to report on the war, but to observe American
soldiers.
“I wanted to understand these young American
men. And particularly, why when these young
men come home, why do they miss [the
battlefi eld]?” he explains. “If we understand
what they miss, then maybe we can be more
successful at making a place for them
at home.”
In exploring this question over the deployment,
Junger discovered a side of war far different
than that traditionally held by society: yes,
war can be hell—but it can also be fulfi lling.
“It’s all the things you want in life, except it’s
on a battlefi eld,” he begins. “You want to feel
necessary. You want to be loved. You want to
t

be surrounded by people you know are loyal
to you and in exchange, you will agree to be
loyal to them. You know exactly what your job
is, and if you do it well, you earn everyone’s
respect…you can completely defi ne how you
are seen by your peers. By God, that’s a good
deal for a 20-year-old.”
Beyond daily fi refi ghts, Junger witnessed the
horrors of war fi rsthand. While riding in a Humvee
on patrol, he and his troop were hit by a
roadside bomb. Had the IED been detonated a
split second later, they would have been killed.
When asked if he wears the same emotional
and psychological scars as the soldiers, Junger
says that the soldiers bear much heavier
burdens. “The most painful part about combat
for soldiers in terms of [Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder]— and there are a few different
components— but one is losing their friends,”
he explains solemnly. “They’re just high school
kids. They got body armor, but they don’t have
emotional body armor.” He continues, “The
other terrible, terrible thing is killing civilians
by accident…it tears these guys up.”
“The fi nal thing is the sense of uselessness
when they come back. Out there, you are very
useful. You know exactly what you’re supposed
to do. Your identity is rock solid because it’s a
function of your purpose in the group…nothing
matters except that you be a good soldier…and
then they go back to society and suddenly you’re
judged for your looks, how much money your
dad has got, the whole thing. You come back
from war and you have no purpose.”

Junger contends that supporting the troops must become more than just
a bumper sticker; society must embrace returning soldiers on a human
level, not simply on a rhetorical one. “Give them a hug. Literally give
them a hug,” he says. “Give them a job. One of the hardest things is
coming back to a sense of uselessness. Because they’re 20-year-olds in
the recession, they can’t get work. Give them a job. If there is one thing
you could do, it would be that.”
Junger has been a war journalist for almost 20 years, covering confl icts
in Africa, the Balkans, and the Middle East. This past month, he
formally retired from on-the-ground combat reporting. The decision
was precipitated by the loss of his good friend and colleague, Tim
Hetherington, who was killed in a mortar attack in Libya. Hetherington
co-directed Restrepo with Junger—the two spent months together
embedded in Afghanistan.
“Anyone who goes to a war has made some peace in their mind that
they can be killed…but what you don’t realize is that nobody else in
your life has made peace with that idea,” he explains. “So with Tim,
I am suddenly experiencing the effects of his decision to go the
Misrata, to go to Tripoli Street, and get himself killed. I’ve been
grieving for a month…I started to think what would happen to my wife,
what would happen to my parents, my friends? Time to leave the poker
table. So, yeah I’m out. I’m done.”
Here on Nantucket, Junger’s words draw stark contrast between the turmoil
of the battlefi eld and the peace of the island. Yet when asked what he
would say to someone relaxing on a porch watching a sunset while others
are worlds away fi ghting for that right to peace, he neither preaches nor
condemns. “I live a pretty comfortable life too. I don’t think there is
anything morally wrong with a life of peace and comfort. The good
people of Nantucket aren’t hurting anybody,” he begins. “You’re sitting
on your porch on Nantucket, enjoy your porch, enjoy the sunset. But
really think about how this country, which is such a wonderful country in
so many ways… think about how we’ve dealt with the world in the
past hundred years.”
Many come to Nantucket to get away
from it all and leave the world behind.
Sebastian Junger reminds us that
while enjoying this picturesque
setting, we must also refl ect on our
country both past and present.
On an island where the fruits of
the American Dream are so ripe,
contemplating our country and
honoring those who protect it
are essential in celebrating
our independence.
Many come to Nantucket to get away
from it all and leave the world behind.

Rarely is “modern”
an adjective
employed in
describing a
Nantucket home.
Most folks build
their summer
getaway reflecting
the traditional
coastal cottage
style. From the curb,
this home on Cliff

the mold, but the
inside reveals
a style anything
but traditional.

lean, simple and elegant, the architecture and interior design by Andrew Kotchen and Matthew
Berman of Workshop/apd melds industrial with natural, achieving a contemporary living space in harmony
with Nantucket’s bucolic surroundings. While poured concrete and a cold rolled steel chimney speak
to modern design, thoughtfully placed antiques impart old fashion charm on this room. Solid maple treads soften
the steel single-beam staircase, further accentuating the balance between old and new.

Awash with natural light, the
spacious kitchen and living
room draw upon subdued earth
tones to achieve a warm beach
feel. The room is tied together
with uninterrupted lines that
flow over recessed lighting
and around hanging fixtures.
Kitchen components—stove,
refrigerator, even cabinets—are
neatly tucked away, maintaining
the room’s geometry. Open and
inviting, the kitchen and living
room are perfect for entertaining
guests on lazy summer days.
This open-air lounge looks out upon an
Asian-inspired courtyard. In the spirit of
bringing the outside in, Kotchen and his
team decided to leave the studs and rafters
exposed, making the pavilion reminiscent
of an early 20th century seaside cottage. 46

On the night of July 13, 1846, a massive fire tore through the town of Nantucket. The blaze started on Main Street and then spread down to the wharves where warehouses full of whale oil ignited. The fire burned out of control, consuming a third of the town and leaving
hundreds of Nantucketers homeless, jobless, and utterly devastated. A hundred and sixty-
five years later, the Great Fire of 1846 still lingers in the island’s collective memory.
For Nantucket firefighters, the history serves as a standing reminder of their vital role.

antucket fi refi ghters do not just fi ght fi res. They
respond to everything from bicycle injuries to
heart attacks, car accidents to hazardous waste
spills. They run educational programs on fi re
prevention, and monitor the island’s municipal
alarm systems. Every ambulance dispatched
on the island comes from the fi re station, driven and operated by
fi refi ghters and EMTs. Over the course of a summer day, they may
respond to 20 to 30 calls, averaging between 3,200 and 4,000 calls a
year. All this with a crew of only 18 full-time fi refi ghters.
“We just don’t have enough personnel,” says Captain Tom Holden,
a 27-year veteran of the Nantucket Fire Department. “We run with a
three-man shift, that’s our minimum. That allows me to put one piece
of apparatus out at a time. So the next time I get a call, they have to [call in fi refi ghters to the
station.] They put out a tone, and ask fi refi ghters [who are off duty]…to come back to the station,
get apparatus, and take care of the call.”
As a result, days off are few; at the height of summer, they’re non-existent. Work is always
just a phone call away. More than a job, more than a career, fi refi ghting is a way of life, or as
Captain Holden says, “it’s something that gets into your blood.”
Being on an island, Nantucket Fire Department needs to be largely self-suffi cient, sometimes
requesting the help of other public and private resources. “Within a big enough incident we
use the police, we use the DPW, we use the airport and their apparatus,” says Fire Chief Mark
McDougall. “There are a lot of people that are willing to help out, which is what makes some
of the things that we can accomplish actually doable.”
Yet unlike towns on the mainland, Nantucket does not have any immediate fi refi ghter reinforcements,
what is known as mutual aid. NFD may call upon off-island departments in the event of a
particularly ferocious fi re, but even at their speediest, that
engine will not arrive for at least two hours, and as fi refi ghter
Nate Barber says, “Two hours in a fi re is a lifetime.”
“Say we’re on the Cape,” Barber begins. “They strike an alarm
for a fi re, you’ll have a couple engine companies, a couple
ladder companies, one or two rescue companies, ambulances,
a couple chiefs units and maybe some people to replenish gear
and fi refi ghters. [On Nantucket] if we strike an alarm for a fi re,
the only thing we really know that’s going to show up are two
guys on an engine.”
n

The two men arrive at the scene and
assess the situation, fi rst determining whether
there are any occupants in the building. They
will then take a command position and wait
for support. In addition to full-time fi refi ghters,
call fi refi ghters and EMTs will come to their
aid. Yet even if the whole department were
to respond, each man will likely be doing the
jobs of two or three.
The fi refi ghters depend on one another completely; it’s a level of trust
impossible to fathom in the civilian sphere. “A lot of times, I have to
ask the guys that work for me to risk their lives,” says Captain Holden.
“And they need to trust me that no matter what, I will not let them get
hurt…trust like you don’t understand. If I go down in a building, I know my
guys are going to get me out. And if they go in a building, I’m either going
to go in with them, or they are going to come out with me.”
The fi refi ghters combat the fl ames in 10 to 20 minute bursts, depending
on how quickly they go through their tanks of compressed air. Over
the course of a fi re, each fi refi ghter may breath through fi ve to six
tanks. “You sweat like you’ve never sweat before,” says Barber.
“You’re leaking by the time you get out of there.” Often, immediately
after extinguishing the blaze, a fi refi ghter will drop his gear and then
transport victims to the hospital by ambulance.
The rigors placed on the department’s small crew have produced what
Barber describes as “complete fi refi ghters.” Captain Holden echoes this
sentiment with pride, “The guys that work for me are great. I’ll stack
them against any fi refi ghter anywhere, Boston, New York. They know
what they’re doing, and they do it well.”
Nobody is at fault for short-staffi ng the department; it is a consequence
of a small community operating in stringent fi nancial times. Just as local
teachers or doctors need to make due, so too do Nantucket’s fi refi ghters.
However, Captain Holden’s hopes for the future seem modest relative to
the great losses they may prevent. He would like to go from a three-man
shift to a five- or seven-man. This would allow for more than one crew
to be sent out, putting more firefighters on the scene immediately. He
would also like to have all his personnel become certified paramedics, a
measure that would significantly improve onsite care. Of course, all this
costs money.
“It just comes down to finances,” says Captain Holden. “I’ve worked
for this town for 27 years and for 27 years they’ve worked very hard
at trying to create a safe atmosphere for their firefighters and good
equipment for their firefighters. They’re well aware of the fact that we
could substantially use some more manpower. But I have faith in my
town…we will get there.”
Firefighters have come to represent the resolve of a nation. The image
of three firemen raising the American flag amidst the rubble of Ground
zero is imprinted on the deep fabric of our national consciousness. The
Nantucket Fire Department epitomizes the valor and heroism that we as a
country hold so sacred. Their service is courageous, selfless, and inspiring.

co-friendly design is becoming the bedrock
of building, raising the question: how do
builders balance 21st century green with
18th century charm? Enter Michele Kolb
and Eric rosenberg, owners of the first
LEED Gold certified historic home on Nantucket. LEED, or
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the highest
certification for green building—LEED Gold is the Holy Grail
for eco-friendly builders. The married couple, who also own Kolb
rosenberg Architects and a home furnishing store on Candle
Street called Belongings, are both LEED accredited professionals,
helping them pull off this tremendous accomplishment.
Built in 1747, the Quaker style home at 67 union Street focuses on
function rather than form. The home is a modern twist on traditional
Nantucket, balancing historical with contemporary. Construction took
place over five months, completely reconfiguring the house’s interior
with a 260 square foot addition. The reconstruction revealed the post
and beam structure, reflecting the simplicity of its Quaker architecture.
upon entering the home, your feet move across reclaimed French oak
floorboards. American clay, a natural plaster, covers the walls. All
appliances are energy efficient, including the water-saving washer,
Toto toilet, LED light bulbs, and an eco-friendly dryer and refrigerator.
Amidst the contemporary appliances, a functioning old-fashioned wood
burning fireplace stakes its claim in the family room.
Ascending the stairs, there are three bedrooms containing all-organic
bedding and natural mattresses. Adornments from Michele and Eric’s
store are thoughtfully placed. The attic was removed, opening the rooms
up with cathedral ceilings. True to form, the original roof timbers were
recycled and used in framing other areas of the home.
Michele Kolb and Eric rosenberg’s home proves that there is room on
Nantucket for both green and historic—putting them under one roof is
the real challenge.

Nantucket is a land of hidden gems, complete with streets tucked away so narrowly you can pass them unknowingly for years and houses hidden behind overgrown landscape like secret getaways. Yet imagine stumbling upon an area of the island left undiscovered for decades…as I did recently. Walking just past the forest, down a swampy path and across a pond, I found Nantucket’s smallest secret.

n the cusp of the ocean, an old brick building
stands abandoned. While soot covered
bricks, broken windows and splintered
doors surround the factory, it is a
reminder of times past when whale
oil was unloaded and transformed into
the lifeblood of Nantucket.
I follow the faint aromas of rosa rugosa down a
cobblestone path that snakes between the beautiful pink
blooms to find two long-forgotten stores. Their shades are
half drawn but I can peek through their dusty windows.
Archaic stoves sit collecting dust, perhaps unlit for decades.
I come upon a magnificent station just as a train rolls in.
The locomotive screeches to a stop, lets out a long sigh,
and silence returns. Where in the world am I?

This is the world of artist, builder, and mini model extraordinaire,
Leon Lancaster. Creating log cabins out of twigs, trees out of
pinecones, and landscape out of moss, Lancaster might be
the “greenest” builder around—at least on a 1:87 scale! The
detail of these delightful miniatures is astonishing, a result of
Lancaster’s years as a builder and skill as a craftsman.
“As soon as I stepped off the boat I thought, uh-oh, I’m in
trouble. I really like this place,” Lancaster remembers of his
first visit to Nantucket in 1969. “I didn’t have a job so
I stayed at Flossie’s Flophouse—she charged $15 a week.
Before long, I knew everyone and jobs were offered. I’ve
had a wonderful life here.” After a day working on large-
scale construction, Lancaster relaxes by building his models.
“Aging them is my favorite part of the process,” he notes.
“You would be surprised at how India ink, rubbing alcohol
and a steel wool pad can make something new look decades old.”
“Nantucket is full of multi-talented people,” Lancaster
continues as he casually shows me a shingled replica of a
friend’s home. “But I’m not sure anyone else is making
models in this small scale.” Part artist, part model maker, and
part romantic, Leon Lancaster brings us back to the past in
ways both large and small.

crAFtIngyour Nantucket Home with leslie linsley
“A handmade item adds character to any Nantucket home,” says Nantucket designer Leslie Linsley. The lifelong island resident is the author of Nantucket Island Living (Stewart, Tabori & Chang) and owner of Leslie Linsley Nantucket, an island shop specializing in all things handcrafted for the home. Recently, N asked Linsley to offer some tips on one of her signature crafts, decoupage.

WhAt IS DecoupAge?Decoupage is a French word that means “applied
cutouts.” You can apply the cutout designs to any
surface such as wood, metal or glass. They are useful
and offer a terrifi c way to decorate with a motif that
works with any décor.
WhAt IS the proceSS?Beginning with a printed paper design, cut away all
surrounding excess paper to make a pleasing design
to fi t on a plate. These paper elements are applied to
the underside of the plate so the design is protected
under the glass. The cutout is sealed with my special
fi nish and then backed with handmade paper. I
protect the paper with several coats of the sealer
and fi nally fi nish the rim with gold leafi ng.
hoW cAn the plAteS Be uSeD For DecorAtIng? The possibilities are endless. For example if you
have a very narrow wall area, hang three or four
small plates in a vertical row to create interest.
Plates come in all sizes and shapes so you might
combine a small plate with two other objects on a
coffee table in colors and patterns that work with
your area.
cAn you Serve FooD on A DecoupAge plAte?Yes, because the work is done on the underside of
clear glass and is sealed with a waterproof fi nish it
can be used safely and washed by hand.

“Many people who come into
my shop are curious about the
craft of decoupage, and really
anyone can learn how to do it,”
says Linsley. “My work is based
on nature and each of my plates
is designed with early 18th and
19th century botanicals. Many
of the flowers I use are found in
Nantucket gardens and there is
no better inspiration than the
natural beauty of the island.”

lIvIng SmAll nAntucKetOver the past fifteen years, Nantucket’s housing has been supersized. Like half-pound burgers with half-gallon soft drinks, the size and scale of new housing on the island has continued to grow. But with the national recession, spikes in energy costs, and great awareness of the environment, small is “in.”
estled in the heart of the Historic District, a humble home sits
amongst multimillion-dollar properties. unremarkable in character,
vaguely Greek revival in style, the 1200-square-foot two-bedroom most
likely belonged to a ship hand rather than a captain. New owners, Tina
and Bob Miklos, could have doubled the size of the home, but in a move
counter to the “bigger is better” mentality, opted to reduce the property by
200 square feet. They stripped the house back to its original mid-1800s
form, recovering the elegance of its Greek revival proportions.

ntering the home, the original layout was a rabbit
warren of small rooms, dark and encumbered. With
strategic edits, Bob (who is the founder of design/LAB,
Boston) and Tina made the interior more spacious,
opening each room to natural light, ventilation, and
a view. The stair was rebuilt to allow for normal risers and headroom
clearance beyond the original five feet. The kitchen was moved from the
wing to the front parlor in the center of the house, serving both the
living room and newly built study. By combining the entry hall and
three smaller rooms, the new living room achieves a spacious proportion.
Bob and Tina brought in Karen Fisher of Coastal Vintage Home and Garden
on South Beach Street in styling the interior. using vintage industrial
furnishings and accessories, Fisher gave this old home a touch of modern.
Today, the house efficiently and economically serves all the living needs
of the Miklos family of four, and can comfortably accommodate up to
eight in the event of visitors. It takes Bob and Tina a little over an hour
to clean the entire house at the end of a weekend, and a tiny furnace
keeps the house heated for less than $150 a month. While compact, the
house is uncompromised in its detail and elegance.
The renovation of that forgotten little house on the corner of Mill Street
and Prospect was a labor of love for Bob and Tina. The property has
since been praised by the HDC as “one of the few houses recently done
that is ‘contributing’ in the Historic District.” The Miklos house goes to
show that size does matter…in this case smaller is better.

GardeninGtipsIs your yard summer-ready? Need an area for the kids to play? Or maybe an organic vegetable garden? What about some potted plants on your patio? No problem!In these early days of summer, you may step off your deck and into the dead crunchy
space that a year ago was green and lush. If the whole idea of putting it all back together
seems insurmountable, do not despair—it is still possible to have a beautiful home
garden this summer. To show us how, N turned to some of the greenest thumbs around,
Sean O’Callaghan and Jenne Verney, to share some tricks of the trade.

lAWn & lAnDScApIngView the lawn or grass area as the living room. This is where the dogs run around and the
children play. Do you need wide open fl oor space or smaller areas that are linked together?
Perhaps you need a little nook for some chairs and a fi re pit. “A lawn is an exterior playroom,”
says Sean O’Callaghan of Sean O’Callaghan Landscaping. Here are some tips from Sean on
how to keep your lawn healthy:
1 Irrigation is essential.
The lawn should be
watered according to
the weather.
2 Keep the blades of your mower
sharp. A chef does not use
a blunt knife to cut a tomato,
and nor should you when cutting
your grass. If the blades aren’t
sharp, they will bruise the grass.
3 Monitor. Monitor. Monitor.
A lawn can be temperamental.
You have to treat it
differently week-to-week,
day-to-day.
BeFore: Shade made this space barren
and under-utilized.
AFter: 1 Cut the hedge back and open up the space
2 Edge it out and create a bed area
3 Place mulch
4 Set steppingstones
DecK & pAtIoA deck or patio is an extension of your kitchen and dining room. The
overall design needs to compliment the room that uses it as a vista. The
fl owers and plants chosen should be purchased with the internal space in
mind. “Potted plants are an easy, inexpensive way to dress up your deck
or patio,” says Jenne Verney of Grey Lady Gardens. “You can move
them around, and switch them out seasonally.” Growing herbs in pots
offers both visual ascetics for your porch and culinary benefi ts for your
grill. Jenne shares some easy steps to potting your own herbs:
1 Put holes in the bottom
of your container to
allow for drainage.
2 Fill the container with
half potting mix and
half rich organic
compost. Soil prep is
key to growing
everything from
fl owers to veggies.
3 Buy herbs such as
basil, mint, dill,
cilantro, oregano,
rosemary or thyme
from the nursery.
You could grow them
all in the same pot if
you like.
4 Constantly pinch
back your herbs; do
not allow them to
bloom or go to seed.
Once the herb blooms,
their taste deteriorates.
5 Water them when they
wilt, but do not
over-water.
6 Give them a lot of sun
and enjoy!

rgAnIc gArDenThe fi nal space in the yard is for the actual organic producing
plots, perhaps viewed best as the pantry. raised herb beds are
fl anked by a secluded area for the tomato plants. Sean and
Jenne break down the best way to grow tomatoes:
2 Water depending on the weather, and do not irrigate
overhead. Pouring water onto tomato plants can burn
their leaves and promote fungus problems.
3 Try to plant tomatoes on south facing plots, which
receive the most amount of sun.
4 Pick when ripe.
1 use rich, organic compost. Manure-based compost
is best for vegetables.
rgAnIc gArDen
Thanks to Sean O’Callaghan, Jenne Verney & Kelly Bull
While a beautiful, functional yard can seem diffi cult to achieve,
the right advice is half the battle. All that is left is to roll up
your sleeves, don your favorite gardening gloves and get to
work. Once you pick your fi rst tomato of the season, you’ll know
the juice was worth the squeeze. Of course, if you’re like me, you
can always hire Sean and Jenne to do the heavy lifting.

hIghon Nantucket
Written by roBert cocuzzo
It’s a bird…
it’s a plane…
it’s a…surfer
being pulled 60 feet
in the air by a parachute.
The wind is gusting between 15 and 20 knots, kicking up white caps throughout Nantucket Sound.
Most boaters wouldn’t even leave the dock in these conditions. Suddenly, Davey Blair rips by. He
skims across the surface, hitting the chop with his board in small explosions of spray. High overhead,
a kite billows in the wind as Blair guides it through the gusts. Then in one swift motion, he digs the
heel of his board into the trough of a wave and opens up the kite. TAKEOFF.

n the watery world of kiteboarding,
Davey Blair is a big fi sh. The pro-kiter
from Charleston, South Carolina
dominates magazine covers, movie reels,
competitions, and even a detox drink called
rebootizer. recently, Blair and local
semi-pro Stephen Bartram hit the harbor
to shoot the breeze.
To the chagrin of every local kiteboarder this side
of the Sound, it must be stated: kiteboarding is one
of Nantucket’s best-kept secrets. From Madaket to
‘Sconset, Nantucket wind is to kiteboarders what
powder snow is to skiers. Nantucket is the utopia
of kiteboarding.
Yet before you drop a few thousand dollars on the
gear, beware: it ain’t easy. The sport requires the
balance of surfi ng, the control of paragliding, and
the moxie of any number of extreme sports.
Perhaps that’s why the waters of Nantucket have
been patrolled by a talented handful since the sport
found this faraway rock.

Kiteboarders like Blair and Bartram are progressing
the sport to new heights—literally. A cross between
Blue Angels and Evel Knievel, the two put on a
gripping show.
Bartram whips along the shoreline then shoots into
the air and over the beach. Just as it looks like he is
about to plummet to a sandy injury, he redirects his
kite, and glides back out for a water landing.
Meanwhile, Blair is showcasing his pro status.
His aerials are a mash up of twists, grabs, and
inversions. No matter what the maneuver, his
expression remains the same: cool, calm and
comfortable.Yet most striking is how high he
is getting. Each time he shoots into the air, it’s
nearly impossible to keep him and the horizon in
the same camera frame—most pictures make him
out to look like a trapeze performer hanging
precariously in space.
Then it happens: Blair catches a monster air, catapult-
ing him dangerously high above the surface. The
seconds of airtime tick by like minutes. Blair hits the
water like a piano from a three-story window. A bro-
ken rib later, he emerges from the spray and sweeps
back around for another tack as if it was nothing.
Kiteboarding is a high that most of us will only
experience from the shore—but for Davey Blair and
Stephen Bartram, it’s just another day at the beach.

olD IS neW AgAInThe Nantucket Historical Association’s August Antiques ShowWith today’s growing taste for chic modern design, antiques can seem, well, a bit stale. Yet more and more, top designers are marrying old with new: contemporary couches punctuated by a Chippendale table, colorful art over classic mantels. The goal is to have all the items in the room “talk” to each other, woven together with a common thread.

Sarah Boyce, NHA Antique Chair
or those looking to dabble in this decorative style, the Nantucket Historical Association’s 34th Annual August Antiques
Show is a must. running between August 5th and 7th, the show has earned national acclaim, offering a wide range of
investment grade antiques in one location. The Antiques Council coordinates forty dealers coast to coast, including
modern dealers designed to appeal to younger collectors. And if you are just getting into the game of styling antique with
contemporary, the show presents a lecture from top designers on this often-mystifying art.
Antique show chair, Sarah Boyce, and co-chair, Anne Marie Bratton, are helping infuse a new spirit into the August show. “Anyone
of any age and any budget can start an antique collection,” says Boyce. “Collections can have any theme in any décor, and the
merger of the old with the new can create stunning results.” Olivia Charney, an interior designer and co-chair of the Young
Collectors Committee, echoes this excitement for the new old: “What better way to celebrate the rich history of Nantucket than
incorporating old treasures into a modern lifestyle. It is the perfect bridge between the past and the present.”
The show will offer a wealth of opportunities to learn from such design all-stars as Victoria Hagan, an icon in the Interior Design
Hall of Fame and author of Interior Portraits. Hagan is the show’s honorary chair, and will participate in design panels. There will
also be guided “Ask an Expert” tours at the show and at intimate gatherings in the homes of some of the island’s top collectors.
Clearly, this is not your father’s antiques show, providing a refreshing new approach to one of America’s oldest pastimes.

ere ye! Here ye! read all about it! Nantucket Bank
robbed of $22,000 in gold and silver! Four crewmen
die on the Whaleship Jean. Mad dog killed on Main
Street. It’s all here in the Nantucket Gazette.
Old newspapers are like one-dimensional time machines. They can
instantly transport us to another age and time, providing a vivid feel
of reality perhaps better than any history book.
The island’s fi rst newspaper was the Nantucket Gazette, published
weekly starting in 1816. The Gazette reported on island news as well
as accounts from whaleships, providing Nantucketers with information
from around the
globe. The paper is
an extraordinary window
into the triumphs and
tragedies of the world
almost two centuries ago.
The accounts from Nan-
tucket were fascinating.
A doctor was convicted
of stealing a horse in
town and was sentenced
to fourteen years of
hard labor. Mutiny was
reported on the ship
Potomac after members
of the crew demanded
rum which the fi rst mate refused to give them. A cure was offered
for cholera which turns out to be a recipe for chicken soup.
There was even a personal ad for a woman looking for a man at
least fi ve foot ten who could escort her to balls, theater and “usual
highfalutin times.”
The paper also provided islanders with news from around the world.
Stories ranged from reports of a doomed ship exploring the unknown
zaire river to the royal wedding of Great Britain’s Princess Charlotte
Written by SuSAn BArtKoWIAK
and Prince Leopold. The Gazette was indeed the internet of the day.
In total, Nantucket had fi fteen major newspapers and 26 smaller
publications printed over the past 195 years. Some of our papers had
intriguing titles such as The Madaket Free Press, The Town Crier,
The Cobble, The Harpoon and The ‘Sconset Pump. From anti-slavery
to opposing the paving of Main Street, they covered the island’s
history from different points of view.
No one on the island better appreciates the mystique of old
newspapers than Lee rand, who in 1987 was enlisted by former
Atheneum president Bob Mooney to sort through 24,000 newspapers
that were stored randomly in piles and bundles tied with fi shing
line. utilizing a federally
funded program, rand
facilitated the transfer
of many of the island’s
endangered newspapers to
microfi lm, securing their
safety for posterity.
The Atheneum recently
received funding to
digitalize part of the
collection and it will
eventually be online. Lee
rand hopes all the papers
will someday be made
available online: “Our
island has always had different beliefs, we are one island but we
are not one voice. Nantucket’s citizens have worked laboriously to
have the right voices heard through the years, in different papers and
publications.”
Keeping rand’s efforts alive, N Magazine will be resurrecting the Nan-
tucket Gazette this month. For the fi rst time in nearly two centuries,
islanders and visitors alike will be able to explore the lives of past
Nantucketers. From the whaling captains to criminals to gilded lovers,
their stories will now be reprinted for all inquiring minds to read.

With one foot on the shore and the other in the sea, Eric Savetsky leads an amphibious life. His day job as executive
director of the Nantucket Land Bank is based squarely on terra firma, but let him loose and he is off to the watery depths
of the ocean on a curious and often dangerous pursuit. Savetsky catches sharks and even whales not with hook and line,
but with snorkel and camera.
With its proximity to the Continental Shelf and Gulf Stream, Nantucket is the perfect starting point for oceanic exploration.
Cold water to the north, warm to the south, Savestky’s options truly span the compass: “We see just incredible stuff, whether
it’s out to the east of Nantucket with humpback whales and dolphins, or to the south with fin whales, sperm whales, swordfish,
and hammer heads. The bubbles from normal scuba gear are loud and discourages animals, so I prefer to snorkel.”
Swimming with the
Few people can claim to have swum with the biggest shark in the ocean — but Eric Savestky is one of them.

“It swam up to me and its nose was a foot away. I was thinking what’s it going to do? I had to inch back
to let it go by!” he remembers. “I swam in real tight alongside and filmed looking up its back, and it just
kept doing a big circle, and coming back to me again. Those are the most exciting experiences, when the
animal is curious and interacting.”
Other encounters were not so tranquil, as a friend of Savetsky learned one day. “We had been chumming,
and I persuaded [my buddy] to get in the water with blue sharks all around,” he begins. “This one blue
shark was like a dog, all over him, coming right at him. He was putting his hand out to stop it, pushing it
away. It circled me then headed straight towards him again.”
Despite his friend’s terror, Savetsky couldn’t help but laugh: “I’m with the shark filming as my buddy is
backing up and away, and I’m laughing. I’m sure it was his thumping heart rate. They sense that panicked
electrical activity.”
There truly are a lot of fish in the sea for Eric Savetsky. Amongst other species, his long-term goal is to swim
with a sperm whale. While most of us are a fish-out-of-water with mighty mammals of the ocean, Savetsky
dives in feet first.
any dives under his belt, Savetsky has developed some advice for swimming with large predators: “Try to maintain
visual contact with them, don’t let them come up behind you…keep your skin covered so you don’t have a fleshy look.
Yellow seems to be a bad color with sharks. We’re chumming to attract sharks, and they are in a bit of a state, so don’t
have your hands flapping out or you might be mistaken for a piece of fish.”
Commercial spotter pilot, Wayne Davis, helps guide Savetsky’s boat from the air. Last summer, Davis radioed Savetsky with coordinates for
one of the ocean’s true wonders: a whale shark. Growing up to 41 feet long and weighing up to 79,000 pounds, a whale shark is the biggest fish
in the sea. Savetsky made haste to witness this rare species located three miles to the east of Atlantis Canyon. The shark turned out to be a big
baby — 18 feet long! Shortly after the anchor was set, Savetsky was in the water.

At a time when sectarian violence was rife in Ireland, Dan Rooney—the owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and current U.S. Ambassador to Ireland—and prominent Irish businessman Anthony O’Reilly established The American Ireland Fund.

he goal of the fund was to
promote peace, culture, and
charity in Ireland through
American support, especially
from those of Irish descent.
Thirty-five years later, the fund has grown
to include eleven chapters across the u.S.
and in twelve countries around the world.
Fifteen years ago, the fund found its way to
Nantucket. Island residents Lesley King
and Jack Dunfey moved the AIF summer
event to Nantucket, and so it has been ever
since. Each year, the event honors standout
members of the Irish-American community
and beyond. Past honorees have included
Tim russert, Bill and Hillary Clinton, John
Hume, and Chris Matthews.
On July 30th, local Nantucketers Tommy
and Leslie Bresette will be recognized
for their outstanding service with The
Nantucket Golf Club Foundation. Tommy
is the executive director of the NGCF,
and Leslie chairs the review committees:
Nantucket Scholar, Grant review, and
Excellence in Teaching Award. The
Bresettes credit the generosity of club
members for all the success in helping
enrich the lives of Nantucket children.
The Worldwide Ireland Funds have assisted over 1,200 worthy organizations, raising
over $350 million for this vital work. In this fundraising effort, Nantucket members
contribute generously, sending their local dollars to greener shores around the world.
“We live in what is indeed a small world,” says Steve Greeley, the executive director of
The American Ireland Fund. “The remarkable success in ending the sectarian violence
in Ireland has direct applicability to other conflicts throughout the world.”
With help from Nantucketers like Tommy and Leslie Bresette, the American Ireland
Fund looks to continue its mission to encourage education, empowerment and peace
everywhere from Nantucket Island to the Emerald Island.

Tai Chi masters as old as eighty have bested opponents twice their size and a quarter their age. Here on Nantucket, this ancient martial art is helping seniors stay young and fit.
Art DeFenSeThe Agelessof
On Thursday mornings, Salt Marsh Senior Center transforms into a
dojo. Ladies like Adal Wendelken kick off their shoes and throw aside
their canes for an hour of Tai Chi with instructor Doug Baier.
After a brief warm up, Baier leads the ladies through a series of
postures, calling each out: “Part the wild horse’s mane…tiger washes
face…brush knee twist step…repulse monkey.” The group moves like
synchronized, slow motion dancers, throwing kicks and punches with
purposeful grace.
“There are different styles of Tai Chi,” says Baier. “It is first and
foremost a martial art, but it’s not an art that deals with force against
force…I’ve modified it a bit and teach it for people’s balance.”
Adal Wendelken is the Bruce Lee of the Salt Marsh dojo. She’s been
attending the classes since ‘98, when her grandson Kris Feeney started
the course. Since then she has suffered a stroke and has lost much of
her vision, but still comes every week to work out her Chi. “I made up
my mind that I wasn’t going to give up,” says the 84-year-old. “You do
your best—that’s the attitude.” Baier looks on to his student with visible
pride, “Adal has gone through a number of changes physically, but she
has stuck out the Tai Chi…to us it’s amazing.”
The senior center on Washington Street offers everything from bridge
and quilting to yoga and aerobics, proving that fun and games are not
just for the young and the restless.

WhAt IF there WAS
no hDc?The initials HDC often hit Nantucketers as warmly as the acronym IRS. Architects, builders and homeowners can view Nantucket’s Historical District Commission with the same trepidation as going to the dentist. But at the end of the day, certain necessities of life are ultimately good for us…even though they may not seem so at the time.

he HDC protects homeowners and developers from themselves by rigorously
maintaining an appropriate look and feel for structures on the island. The seven-
member board of elected arbiters of good taste keeps Nantucket’s design in check.
Guided by a document produced in 1995 titled Building with Nantucket in Mind, the HDC
is the last word on how building exteriors are designed, renovated, expanded and painted.
For those new to the island with illusions of building palatial monuments, a trip to the HDC can
become a humbling experience when people realize that they are playing in somebody else’s
sandbox. Many a corporate titan has been reduced to mere mortal status when realizing that the
HDC drives the train.
For those who feel Nantucket would be better off without this architectural watchdog, be careful
what you wish for. Without the Historical District Commission, Nantucket could become a very
different place. Just imagine what life would be like if there were no rules.

“Getting to the top can be a challenge. It should not be one once you’re there.”
“After working with some of the most successful families in the world, we have seen certain
systematic patterns emerge. Creation of wealth and its preservation across time and generations
demand distinct perspectives and approaches, some of which are easy to see but many of
which are simply not apparent. Issues not in full view during the climb to the summit can arise
and become as challenging as those overcome while climbing to the peak.”

The MovienAntucKet
ust in time for summer, the Nantucket Historical Association unveils Nantucket, a groundbreaking documentary
by Emmy Award-winning director ric Burns. Set to run at the Whaling Museum throughout the season,
Nantucket chronicles the island’s rich history from the Wampanoags to the whalers, Quakers to summer
vacationers. The film teems with breathtaking vistas, interviews with the island’s foremost historians and
scholars, and brings to life distant eras through photographs and film from NHA archives.

antucket will soon have an experience that captures, in
a transformative way, its historic essence,” says NHA
executive director, William Tramposch. “ric Burns
weaves the story of this ‘elbow of sand’ so those legions
who will see it at the Whaling Museum will know that this is not just
another sandbar in the sea, that this place has international historic
ramifi cations. The fi lm will catapult viewers into our town armed with a
greater sense of why this entire island is now a National Historic Landmark.”
To bring this fi lm to fruition, the NHA called upon one of the world’s best
behind the camera, ric Burns. The veteran fi lmmaker is famous for his
1999 critically acclaimed series New York: A Documentary Film. He has
been writing, directing and producing historical documentaries for over 20
years, beginning with one of the most celebrated PBS documentary series
of all time, The Civil War, which he collaborated on with his brother Ken.
The NHA’s collaboration with Burns began in 2007 when NHA staff
assisted him in researching and fi lming Into the Deep, a PBS documentary
tracing the history of the American whaling industry from its early roots on
Nantucket. While Burns was shooting, the NHA began to entertain a shorter
fi lm, one devoted to the island’s unique history and beauty. Through hard
work and the generosity of NHA supporters, the dream of producing
Nantucket soon became a reality.
“The story of Nantucket resonates far and wide,” says Burns. “It is so
much more than a summer playground, and my goal with this fi lm is to
offer every island visitor an opportunity to truly understand the global role
that the island has played throughout history.” The Burns crew visited
the island during every festive season, capturing footage from Daffodil to
Stroll. The result is a rare glimpse into the past, present and future of this
special spit of sand.
Kick-starting the Nantucket Film Festival, the NHA and NFF hosted
a special preview gala and screening of Nantucket on June 21st at the
Whaling Museum. Guests enjoyed cocktails on the rooftop observation
deck, followed by a sneak preview of the fi lm and a Q&A panel with
ric Burns, Nathaniel Philbrick and other scholars who appear in the fi lm.
On July 1st, Nantucket premiered for the Nantucket community at a
once-in-a-lifetime special event on Children’s Beach. Nantucketers of
all ages enjoyed an evening of live music, arts and crafts, games, photo
booths, face painting and more! The world premiere of Nantucket
showed on a large outdoor screen under the stars. For those that missed it,
not to worry—Nantucket will show twice a day at the Whaling Museum
all summer long and beyond.
