Was Gilmanton’s Herman Mudgett Also Jack The Ripper? History Channel Series To Investigate Possible Double Life of NH’s Infamous Serial Killer

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

of the bestseller “Devil In The White City” by Erik Larsen. H.H. Holmes wasn’t his real name, it was Herman Mudgett and he was born and lived in Gilmanton, NH, before he moved to Vermont, then the University of Michigan - where he

was expelled for stealing corpses, which he used for experiments and for making false insurance claims - and eventually Chicago where his most evil work was done. Starting next week on the History Channel, MudSee mudgett on 36

Say the name H.H. Holmes and you are certain to bring chills to the spine of many who know the history of this most evil of individuals. Holmes is one of the first documented serial kill-

ers and it is believed that he killed as many as 200 during his reign of terror at his Murder Castle in Chicago as the 1893 World’s Fair went on just a short distance away. Holmes’ atrocities became known to many in 2003 with the publication

Jeff Mudgett researches information on his great-great grandfather, Herman Mudgett aka H.H. Holmes. Holmes, who was born and raised in Gilmanton, NH, was the first documented serial killer in America and now there is evidence that he may have also been Jack The Ripper. The History Channel Series “American Ripper” will tell the story of Mudgett’s journey to find the truth beginning Tuesday, July 11th at 10pm. Photo courtesy of History

“The Bedford Boys” At Wright Museum The New York Times best-selling author Alex Kershaw will give a lecture about his book “The Bedford Boys” on Monday evening, July 17. The lecture, which is part of the Wright Museum of World War II’s Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney Education Programs, will take place in the Wolfeboro Town Hall’s Great Hall at 86 South Main Street, Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. The lecture will run from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Admission is $10 for nonmembers and free for Museum members. Great Hall parking is available behind the Town Hall and on Main Street. Please use the back entrance to the Town Hall. D-Day, June 6, 1944: Nineteen boys from Bedford, Virginia – population 3,000 in 1944 – died within minutes of landing on Omaha Beach with the first wave of American soldiers. Three more Bedford boys died later during the Normandy campaign. In all, the small town of Bedford lost twenty-two of its sons. In The Bedford Boys, Alexander Kershaw tells the true story of these twenty-two young men and the friends and families they left behind. To write the book, Kershaw interviewed survivors and relatives and read diaries and letters. Focusing on several remarkable individuals and families, The Bedford Boys recounts one of the most poignant stories of World War II – how one small American town went to war and died on Omaha Beach. Kershaw will share that story with you on July 17th. Kershaw’s book will be on sale and he will sign copies after the lecture. The Wright Museum of World War II is open to the public for the 2017 season on May 1 and will remain open daily through October 31. Museum hours are Monday-Saturday: 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. and Sunday: 12:00-4:00 p.m. The Museum is a not-for-profit educational institution that focuses on the American home front as well as on the war front during World War II. The museum is located at 77 Center Street, Wolfeboro, NH, on Route 28.

*A FLATLANDERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Memories Of Home

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

Ah! Summer is officially here in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire and the area is filling with tourists and summer home owners. Welcome! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for them to enjoy the area as much as we do. I can see it in their eyes as they cut me off on the local merge or tailgate me at 50 miles-per-hour in 30 mile-per-hour zone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get out of my way! Move it! I am in a rush to relax.â&#x20AC;? I do understand, I used to be them. They only have a week to get in all of the relaxing activities they had planned. Time is of the essence. No time for lollygagging. It is also time for us year-round Flatlanders, those of us who are fortunate enough to call this place home 365 days a year, to stop and smell the roses. After all, we did have all of May and June to enjoy things our way and we will have September weekdays as well. In July and August we are given the opportunity to enjoy the next couple of months in a whole new direction. We can experience summer with a taste of our homelands. Take bicycling for instance. I am not a cyclist myself, but I often get a bit envious seeing those who are participating in the activity. The wind in their faces, traveling over beautiful country roads or by a magnificent lake,

powered only by their own motion. Now, with summer here, year-round Flatlanders have the extra added attraction of being able to not only experience these wonders of nature, but also do it while avoiding continuous traffic (including motor homes and big trucks hauling boats with names like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not Yours But Mineâ&#x20AC;?) legions of other cyclists and people walking while staring down at their handheld computers that are used to make phone calls once in a while. (Unfortunately, some of the drivers are as well.) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the city bicycling experience without the tall buildings. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost like being where we grew up (with critters of course). Hiking is also another great outdoor activity that has a new dynamic in the summer for yearround Flatlanders. Having gotten used to the quiet solitude of an early spring hike, maybe a pleasant hike up Mount Major in Alton or, for those a bit more resolute, tackling one of the 4,000-footers in the White Mountains, a summer hike up the same can be a different challenge. In July and August it takes on a new dimension. I like to look at it as an uphill Penn Station during Morning Rush hour. Dodging and weaving, trying to stay out of other folks way while hoping to reach your destination at the planned time. After all, you know your favorite restaurant is going to be busy at lunchtime and you want to make it there in time. A quick look at the view (Wow! Awesome! Beautiful! Okay, Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Go!) then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back down the mountain. Time for the next activity. (The hike alone from

where you parked your car along the side of Rte 11 to get to the starting point of the Mount Major Trail is sometimes enough for some to just call it a day.) Yes, eating out is now an activity to be reckoned with. There is no guarantee your favorite table will be available (even on a Tuesday). You might even find yourself waiting (gasp!) for a table. But, if you are a yearround Flatlander like myself, you just look at it as a day in the old country. If you are lucky you might even overhear a New York accent somewhere in the crowd yell: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting thirty-five minutes and you said a half hour twenty minutes ago.â&#x20AC;? Boating, well I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a boat, but I can stand looking over the Weirs Beach bridge into the Channel on a warm Saturday and see a busy Friday afternoon on the Long Island Expressway. Ah! Memories! All of these things get my blood boiling and often have me longing for the days of my youth and my homeland. (Just kidding!) Have a great summer!! I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll join me and others next Thursday, July 13th for a StorySlam at Pitmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Freight Room in Laconia. It should make for a fun evening and all the proceeds go to benefit the NH Humane Society. If you have a story to share based on the theme â&#x20AC;&#x153;It Seemed Like A Good Ideaâ&#x20AC;? we hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enter your name for a chance to tell it. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a professional, just have a good story. See more details on pages 3 and 45. It is sure to be a good time for all. See you there.!

The Brutal Battle Against Medical Kidnappers BOSTON On the day Boston Children’s Hospital celebrated being named “the number one pediatric hospital in the nation” by Michelle Malkin by U.S. News Syndicated Columnist & World Report, I was interviewing Dana Gottesfeld in nearby Somerville, Massachusetts. Dana is the young wife of Martin “Marty G” Gottesfeld, an imprisoned technology engineer/activist who used his skills to fight against medical child abuse committed at Boston’s Children’s Hospital. “That is so Boston,” Dana observed Tuesday in response to the new ranking -- which is already splashed in multiple gold medallions across the hospital’s website. It’s all about power, prestige and pull in the top echelons of the Bay State’s medical community, many New Englanders have informed me. BCH’s teaching affiliate is Harvard Medical School. The ties between and among influential and wealthy alumni in the realms of health care, politics and the courts are innumerable. It’s a network that’s “practically untouchable,” Dana explained. And like the third rail, those who dare challenge these renowned institutions risk great danger to their freedom and their lives. Dana’s husband, Marty, faces felony charges of computer hacking and conspiracy related to distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks in April 2014

against Boston Children’s and the nearby Wayside Youth and Family Support Network residential treatment. Marty had organized a social media army to knock the computer networks of both institutions offline to protest the medical kidnapping of then-15-year-old Justina Pelletier. Hackers from the looseknit collective, Anonymous, allegedly participated in the campaign. Justina’s plight had become international news in Marty’s backyard. One fateful winter day in February 2013, Justina traveled with her mom to BCH from her West Hartford, Connecticut, home, seeking relief from a severe case of the flu. Ordinary sickness compounded Justina’s rare medical conditions, including mitochondrial disease and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. But those illnesses hadn’t stopped her from participating in school, competitive ice skating and an active family life. Instead of receiving top-notch care and attention at BCH, however, Justina was snatched from her parents and recklessly re-diagnosed with a psychological condition, “somatoform disorder.” She was dragged from BCH’s neurology department to its infamous psych ward, where she was reprimanded for being unable to move her bowels or walk unassisted in her weakened state. At Wayside, she was harassed by a staffer while taking a shower. The physical and mental torture lasted 16 months. The family is now suing the gold medallion-adorned, scandal-plagued Boston Children’s Hospital.

He’s A Republican Now

D o n a l d Trump, the erstwhile Democrat, independent and member of the Reform Party, finally has a fixed partisan by Rich Lowry identity. Contributing Writer The president may be besieged, unpopular and prone to lashing out self-destructively, but all of this cements his bond to his party rather than erodes it. Commentators who ask wishfully and plaintively, “When will Republicans dump Trump and save themselves?” are missing the point: Trump’s weakness makes him more Republican than ever before. It was possible to imagine Trump, with a head of steam after his upset victory in November, cowing swamp-dwelling Republicans and wooing infrastructure-loving, antitrade Democrats into supporting a populist congressional agenda. See malkin on 42 But this scenario would have re-

quired a strong, focused president marshaling his popularity and driving Congress. We’ve seen close to the opposite. Whatever Trump’s true ideological predilections, there’s no place for him to go. Make deals with the Democrats? At this point, Democrats are more likely to cooperate with Sergey Kislyak on an infrastructure package than with Donald Trump. Dump or triangulate away from Republicans? Well, then who would do Russian investigation defense, besides a handful of White House aides and outside media loyalists? Imagine what the Comey or Sessions hearings would have looked like if Republicans had joined Democrats in the pile-on. The need for support on Capitol Hill could well get more urgent if things go badly the next year and a half. If Democrats take the House, Trump will rely on Republicans for an impeachment defense and, if it comes to that, for the votes in the Senate to block removal.

India and USA Expand Friendship UNITED NATIONS—India’s

Prime Minister Narendra Modi returned to the USA not quite knowing what to expect from planned sumby John J. Metzler mit meetings Syndicated Columnist with President Donald Trump. After all while both leaders are known as brash and outspoken figures, the visitor from New Delhi was particularly nervous over trade deficits and immigration. Yet personal chemistry between the leaders of the world’s two largest democracies smoothed over earlier concerns. The Indian/USA relationship has evolved immensely from the days when nonaligned but often Soviet-tilting India was one of those countries with which Washington managed its ties, rather than warmly embraced its relations. But following the collapse of the former Soviet Union, India had lost its chief geopolitical patron and feared isolation, especially facing neighboring China. Starting in the Clinton Administration and especially into the Bush years, the United States and India revived social and economic ties. Following the terrorist attacks on America in 2001, the U.S. redoubled its defense cooperation with India, a country who knew all too well the enduring dangers

of militant Islamist terrorism confronting it’s secular state. In a Joint Communique the leaders “stressed that terrorism is a global scourge that must be fought and terrorist safe havens rooted out in every part of the world.” The USA and India reaffirmed their intelligence sharing, defense cooperation and counter -terrorism ties. Both states warned that Pakistan should not harbor terrorists which have been active in destabilizing Afghanistan as well as Kashmir. Prime Minister Modi warmly intoned, “We consider the USA as our primary partner for India’s social and economic transformation in all our flagship programs and schemes.” Economically too India’s democratic state socialism, copied from Britain, served as a deadweight to the entrepreneurial skills and business acumen of the Indian merchant classes. The old Nehruian “Hindu rate of growth” pegged at a static 2.2 percent has been discarded by successive Indians governments since the 1990’s who have looked to free markets and economic growth as the elixir of long overdue socio/economic change. Finally, a growing Middle class is beginning to offset the undertow of poverty. Mr. Modi’s government has served as a proud booster of India as a global business partner. His trademark economic reforms

are long overdue yet are still stymied by the maze of government red tape and bureaucracy. GDP growth stands at an impressive 7 percent. Business and trade between the two giant economies has boomed

in the past decade. Back in 2006, two-way trade stood at $31 billion with a $12 billion deficit. Last year commerce reached $67 billion. But growing foreign trade deficits

School, Inc. Every year, almost every industry improves. We get more choices — usually better choices, for less money. “But of all by John Stossell the products Syndicated Columnist we make and the services we provide, there’s one that stands out as an exception,” according to the Cato Institute’s Andrew Coulson. “One activity in which excellence doesn’t spawn countless imitators or spread on a massive scale: schooling.” Why not? What can be done about it? These questions are asked and often answered by Coulson’s new PBS TV series “School Inc.” It’s a wonderful three hours, reaching back years to America’s first experiments in education and traveling the world to look at schools in Chile, England, Sweden, India and Korea. In Korea, top teachers make millions Why haven’t American schools improved? The education establishment says, “We don’t have enough money!” But American schools spend more per student than other countries. Spending tripled during Coulson’s lifetime and class sizes dropped. But test scores stay flat. “Schools adopted all sorts of new technologies, from projectors to personal computers to ‘smart’ whiteboards,” says Coulson. “None of these inventions improved outcomes ... (E)ducational quality has been stuck in the era of disco and leisure suits for 40 years, while the rest of the world has passed it by.” The main reason for that is that most schools are controlled by government. Government is a

monopoly, and monopolies resist change. Actually, most of us resist change. We don’t want to give up the way we’ve always done things. Certainly, few of us want to work harder, or differently. We get set in our ways. But when there is competition, we can’t get away with that. If we don’t adopt better ways of doing things, we go out of business. That forces innovation. But government-run schools never go out of business. Principals, school boards and teachers — especially union teachers — have little incentive to try anything new. One of the documentary’s illustrations of this might be familiar because the story was also told in the movie “Stand and Deliver.” In that film, actor Edward James Olmos played math teacher Jaime Escalante. Escalante taught at California’s Garfield High School. The student body was, and is, composed of some of the most “disadvantaged” students in America. Yet more Garfield High students passed advanced placement calculus tests than did students from Beverly Hills High. Escalante was the reason. He was simply a better teacher. Coulson interviewed some of his former students, who said, “Escalante worked as if his life depended on the success of his students.” The results were beyond belief ... literally. His students did so well on the state calculus test that authorities accused them of cheating. They made them take the test again. The students aced the test the second time. What made Escalante a better teacher? One student tells Coulson, “He See stossell on 44

Lower Property Taxes To The Editor: Why? Where would you locate your new home or business? The central NH region is a tourist-based economy and as such becomes more seasonally populated than not. That makes for a need to sacrifice to those who accept this way of life we call Central New Hampshire . . . or “The Lakes Region”. The demographics of our population continue to edge upward in average age, with fewer and fewer young people staying in NH (statewide) when they graduate from either high school or college. Why is that? It’s primarily due to cost of workforce housing. Others assume it has to do with the lack of jobs – wrong. Perhaps the lack of a *variety* of jobs, but not just jobs, per se. Look around you – there are plenty of “NOW HIRING” signs in all sorts of businesses. FruedenbergNOK, Bristol’s largest employer (the school district is 2nd) is eager to attract professional engineering talent and a variety of professional talent in many other areas of specialized expertise. The major contributing factor to the problem that is exacerbated by many other small ones is the fundamental cost of housing. The reason our school population continues to decline is because parents of schoolage children are finding they can give themselves a raise by making the same

money in a greater variety of professions in the South and Midwest by reducing their cost of housing! So, they move. Were we to find a way to lower the tax property burden on home owners, it would attract more residential buyers to the area to take advantage of that phenomenon, produce the need for more goods and services, increase the demand for businesses to support a growing economy, and broaden the tax base. This results in a smoothening of the tax burden amongst a larger local population – stabilizing the student population. And by the way, this action, it should be noted by all, would *also* increase the value of current property owners! There is a solution to this problem, but it will take full-time leadership and commitment to bring it about. I have a strategic plan and it requires far more time and space than we have in this medium to present and explain. But after 10 years of ongoing public service, I’d like the chance to voice it, and to present it. It deserves both a hearing as well as a debate.

Neutralize North Korean Threat To The Editor: North Korea continues to expand its nuclear weapons program and is making progress in developing an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching the Western U.S. It is working on miniaturizing nuclear weapons to fit on ICBMs by early 2018, and it threatens to attack the U.S. with nuclear warheads. North Korea is a virulent Communist country with a closed militaristic society governed by Kim Jong-un, who appears to be unstable and ready to aggressively use his military forces. If North Korea reaches the point of being able to launch ICBMs against us, we might have to launch a pre-emptive conventional strike against their missile sites after beefing up the ground forces in South Korea and putting them on full alert. Hopefully, the Terminal High Altitude Defense (THAAD) antimissile system in South Korea will intercept any missile attacks by North Korea. We will probably have to deploy additional U.S. army, marines and air force units to Japan and possibly Korea and position a number of carrier battle groups off of North Korea prior to the preemptive strike.

Three women, Mrs. Jemima Howe, Mrs. Submit Grout, and Mrs. Eunice Gaffield were residing at Fort Bridgman, probably more like a fortified house than what we imagine as a fort, with their children on the evening of July 27, 1755. They were waiting for their husbands to return from an afternoon of hoeing (cultivating) corn in a nearby meadow, and heard gunshots which caused them to have some concern for their husbands’ safety. Fort Bridgman was in Hinsdale, New Hampshire on the western side of the Connecticut River which is now Vernon, Vermont. Hinsdale is in the southwest corner of New Hampshire. After waiting anxiously for some period of time and eventually hearing noise outside, probably after darkness had come, and supposing that their spouses had returned, they hurried to unfasten the gate to the fort entrance. Instead of their husbands a band of Indians rushed into the building and quickly captured the women and their children and carried them off into the forest. Remember that in 1755 the American colonies were still under the jurisdiction of Great Britain which was involved in a war with France called

The husbands of the women at the fort had been ambushed by a group of twelve Indians as they were on their way home from the meadow where they had been working.

by Tim Moore Contributing Writer

There are dozens of funny acronyms and sayings associated with owning a boat. The title abbreviation of this article, B.O.A.T. stands for Break Out Another Thousand. Some say a boat is a hole in the water you dump money into. Any way you slice it, if you own a boat, at some point you are likely to hemorrhage money into it, as was the case with the new (to me) boat I purchased this spring. What started out as a deal too good to pass up, ended up costing me almost as much as I paid for it. Boats are expensive, but buying a used boat is usually as expensive as it gets. Partly because you take on the task of fixing problems that likely caused the previous owner to sell it, but mostly because now it’s yours and you want to make it home. The 17 ½’ center console I purchased this spring didn’t have much wrong with it. Most of the maintenance and repair was because the boat sat unused for five years, but had previously been well-maintained. There was water in the gas, the carburetors were dirty, and the trailer bearings were shot. Once I worked through the fuel issues, it was time to start the process of setting it up the way I wanted it. I also had to meet certain safety requirements since I plan to use it to guide freshwater fishing clients. I

spent so much time in my local boat supply store that conversations often went, “How many did you bring with you today?” “How many what?” I would reply. “Hundred dollar bills,” they would say with a chuckle. As funny as it was, they were pretty accurate. It’s downright difficult to get out of the boat supply store for less than a hundred dollars. “The only way you’re getting out of here for less than a hundred bucks is if you make two trips,” one employee would laugh-

ingly say. Being a guide boat, client safety and comfort are paramount. The boat requires additional features, such as a fuel shutoff valve, a power blower to vent fuel fumes from the bilge compartment, and other safety features to meet inspection requirements. Once I worked through all the safety items it was onto client comfort. The first thing I noticed is that there were no cup holders, and clients always have something to drink, See moore on 40

across the river. The story of captivity later told by Jemima H o w e and whi ch this account is based on is really a story about human trafficking of colonial Americans in the 18th century. According to Mrs. Howe the three women and their children were taken about a mile and a half away from the fort on that first night. Seven of the children belonged to Mrs. Howe with the oldest being eleven years old and the youngest only six months. The two oldest, daughters, were children by her first husband, William Phipps, who was also killed by Indians. Mrs. Gaffield had one child and Mrs, Grout had three. After travelling a similar distance the next day they waited while six of t h e native Americans returned to the fort to plunder or destroy what was left before returning to the main group to begin on the next day what turned out to be a difficult eight-day hike to a spot where the Indians had left their canoes. Their destination was Canada, where the Indians planned to sell their captives to the French

lake that for some reason they began at the beginning of night in four or five canoes and traveled during a “heavy storm” and “the sound of the rolling thunder was very terrible upon the waters” and the flashes of lightning provided the only means of seeing their surroundings. Before dawn the canoes were brought to shore and Mrs. Howe made a pillow of sand and gravel and lay down with her infant son to sleep while not knowing the whereabouts or condition of her other children. With the coming of a new day it was found that all had made it through the dangers of the previous night and they made it safely to St. John’s. From there they went to a place named St. Francois which was in the words of Howe “the metropolis to which the Indians, which led us captive, belonged.” The chief Sachem and leading warriors of the tribe had a council after which Mrs. Howe said “I was conducted and delivered to an old squaw, whom the Indians told me I must call my mother.” Though Jemima Howe’s baby was considered by the Indians to be their property she was permitted to keep it with her awhile longer, she thought because they didn’t want the care of it. The weather was turning colder and she was wondering how she would be able to endure it if she had to live in the manner the Indians did. She expressed this concern to her “new mother” and repeatedly requested to be “disposed of among some of the French inhabitants of Canada” until finally some of the male Indians took her and her infant child to Montreal with the intention of “finding a market for me there.”

As long as they were in their hands as captives, the Indians considered the women and their children as their property and assigned them to places in their families. It has been suggested that the plan may have been to take the husbands as captives also, and the shot that hit Mr. Howe was

intended for the horse, but that is an unverified assumption. Mrs. Howe felt that some of the captives were treated worse than others, and that her four year old son, Squire, was one who suffered the most. She said “when we stopped to rest our weary limbs, and he set down on his master’s pack, the savage monster would often knock him off, and sometimes too with the handle of his hatchet. Several ugly marks, indented in his head by

the cruel Indians, at that tender age, are still plainly to be seen.” The party eventually reached Crown Point, New York where they stayed a week while some of the captives were taken to Montreal in order to be sold but “they found no market for any of them.” They did, however, give the Howe’s youngest daughter to the governor, de Vaudreuil as a gift.

SPORTS AND STATS An old Peanuts comic strip featured Lucy sharing lots of baseball numbers with Charlie Brown, who finally retorted “Tell your statistics to shut up!” He apparently understood the Mark Twain adage that “There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.” There are ways to present numbers so as to make almost any case, so it helps to have a sense of how to interpret certain statistics. A .350 batting average is generally thought of as excellent. But when that.350 hitter bats only .150 with runners on base, then his value is much diminished. Old-time Yankee second baseman Billy Martin never hit for a high average—except when it really mattered, in big games or in the World Series. As a particularly “stathappy” sport, baseball features more statistics than ever—beyond the traditional batting average and ERA. Now we have slugging percentages, onbase percentages, OPS (on-base plus slugging), GO-AO (groundouts vs. fly-outs) and on and on. There are more pitching stats than ever, such as WHIP (The average number of walks and hits off of a pitcher, hits plus walks divided by innings pitched, H+W/IP). But a recent Sports Illustrated story on ace Red Sox reliever Craig Kimbrel introduced yet another pitching stat: RPMs (Revolutions Per Minute). Writ-

Does Red Sox reliever Craig Kimbrel’s fastball average 2324 RPM? er Tom Verducci claimed that Kimbrel’s fastball averages 2324 RPMs, as compared to the Major League Average of 2225. Seriously? How the heck do they calculate RPMs on a fastball? Anyway, the movie “Moneyball” chronicled how the Oakland A’s used metrics, stats, trends and numbers to build a winning team, much to the chagrin of skeptical oldtimers. Baltimore Oriole manager Earl Weaver was ahead of his time in the 1970s with his use of stats and tendencies to make out a lineup. But if a player seldom gets to bat against left-handed pitching, then eventually his batting average against southpaws becomes an invalid indicator of potential effectiveness. Sometimes the stats and trends and computers just can’t account for intangibles. The Moneyball A’s never did win a World Series, much less play in one. Hilary Clinton never became president, despite all the polling data which seemed to indicate she was a lock. There’s STILL a place for instinct and gut reaction despite all the new statistics that just won’t shut up. 2324 RPMs? Seriously? Sports Quiz What former New Hampshire Governor (and U.S.

Senator) also played Major League baseball in Boston? (Answer follows) Born Today ... That is to say, sports standouts born on July 6 include former New York Yankee second baseman Willie Randolph (1954) and former Giant and Patriot placekicker Matt Bahr (1956).

plans to sell regardless of the offer. -- Roger, Atlanta A: Hopalong Cassidy was the first movie/radio character to be featured on a metal lunchbox. Your lunchbox was probably issued in 1950 by Aladdin Industries of Nashville, Tennessee. Although it is valued in the $500 to $700 range, one sold at auction for $1,200. The artwork on both the lunchbox and thermos is the work of designer Robert Burton. William Boyd, aka Hopalong Cassidy, remains an American icon. *** Q: I have a very old coin, a 2-cent piece dated 1864. I understand that it might be quite valuable depending on whether it has a small motto or a large motto. What does this mean? -- Dorothy,

Oklahoma A: I consulted my U.S. Coin Digest: The Complete Guide to Current Market Values, edited by David C. Harper (Krause Publications, $18.99), and discovered there was a modification of this coin during the year of its issue. The motto â&#x20AC;&#x153;In God We Trustâ&#x20AC;? was changed, resulting in a small motto and a larger motto. The coin with the small motto appears to be much more valuable. I recommend you contact a reputable coin dealer, since value will depend on various factors, including condition and demand. *** Q: I have inherited a Majolica humidor with a bird and fan design. It is about 5 1/2 inches tall and turquoise in color. Is it rare? -- Roberta, Tampa, Florida A: During the Victorian era, pipe smokers kept their tobacco in decorative jars or humidors. Some of the more interesting ones are examples of Majolica, colorful and decorated earthenware that has been around since the ninth century. Herbert Minton, an English potter, crafted a new way to make the pottery and helped revive interest in Majolica during the 1850s. Your humidor is worth about $150 and

have become a lightning rod for the American Administration; Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $24 billion surplus with the USA is shadowed by Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $347 billion in the same period. Significantly, India is projected to become the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-largest commercial aviation market by 2020. American aircraft sales to the South Asian giant are booming. In 2017, the Indian airline SpiceJet announced the order of 100 new Boeing 737â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, bringing its order to 205 planes valued at more than $20 billion and creating 130,000 American jobs in Washington state. Defense cooperation is growing too as the U.S. is helping Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military modernization program, especially for the Air Force. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret that the U.S. views India as a democratic counterweight to Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategic expansion. The U.S. has worked with India to bring peace to conflict-ridden Afghanistan. Modi stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The increasing instabil-

ity, due to terrorism, in Afghanistan is one of our common concerns. Both India and America have played an important role in rebuilding Afghanistan and ensuring its security.â&#x20AC;? As a key member of the United Nations, Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diplomacy holds genuine political clout among developing countries. On the issue of immigration, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generally not known is that four million Indian-Americans live in the USA and over 700,000 U.S. citizens reside in India. For example, the U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley is the daughter of Indian parents. Writing in the Hindu newspaper, former Indian Ambassador Nirupama Rao noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a well calibrated program, Prime Minister Modiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. visit reaffirmed an indispensable partnership.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The visible personal chemistryâ&#x20AC;? was praised by Indian Foreign affairs officials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was one of the most productive of all prime ministerial visits to

On Friday, July 14 Great Waters Music Festival will present “The Doo Wop Project” at the Kingswood Arts Center in Wolfeboro. The Doo Wop Project begins at the beginning, tracing the evolution of Doo Wop from the classic sound of five guys singing tight harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today. Throughout the show DWP takes audiences on a journey from foundational tunes of groups like the Crests, Belmonts and Flamingos through their influences on the sounds of Smokey Robinson, the Temptations, and the Four Seasons all the way to Michael Jackson, Jason Mraz and Amy Winehouse. Featuring current and former stars of Broadway’s smash hits Jersey Boys and Motown: The Musical, the Doo Wop Project brings unparalleled authenticity of sound and vocal excellence to recreate—and in some cases entirely reimagine—some of the greatest music in American pop and rock history. Dedicated to honoring the classics of the past, The Doo Wop Project spans the generations, bringing music lovers of all ages together today. Charl Brown, Dominic Nolfi, Russell Fischer, Dominic Scaglione Jr. and Dwayne Cooper make up the Doo Wop Project’s five-part harmony. They are accompanied by their music director, Sonny Paladino. Each member of the group has numerous Broadway credits attached to his name, including Jersey Boys, Motown: The Musical and Hairspray. Brown received a Tony Award nomination for his portrayal of Smokey Robinson in Motown. While these musicals have clear

“The Doo Wop Project” will be at Kingswood Art Center in Wolfeboro on Friday, July 14th. stars of the show, the Doo Wop Project shares lead vocals and doesn’t have one main singer — something Nolfi said was important to the group. Though their setlist includes songs they’ve sung on the Great White Way, Nolfi said performing as the Doo Wop Project is different; he describes it as “harmony, partnership and fun.” “The main thing about forming this group was so we could be in the driver’s seat and make all the calls creatively,” Nolfi said. The idea for the group emerged after several of the members were working together on Jersey Boys four years ago. They began brainstorming after asking, “What were the [Four] Seasons listening to?” Nolfi said. They then looked to modern artists, such as Bruno Mars and Boys II Men, whose music is influenced by doo-wop. The group sings a number of songs, from the Four Seasons’ “Sherry” to Michael Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel.” But one song Nolfi said the group is “daunted by and enjoys most” is “That’s My Desire,” which was made popular by Sammy Kaye

in 1946. “It’s the closest to street singing, which is how Doo Wop really started,” Nolfi said. “Singing a cappella always makes us fret, but it always goes well.” The show will start at 7:30pm and tickets range from $25 to $55. It is sponsored by Fidelity Investments, TD Bank, Ballentine Partners, Baker Newman Noyes, Green Mountain Communications, The Laker, 105.7 - The River, Northeast Delta Dental, and Avery Insurance Agency. The Great Waters Music Festival is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing outstanding musical performances to people living in and visiting the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Thanks to all who have contributed to this organization, it is able to provide high quality musical performances at reasonable prices. Information and tickets for all performances are available at the office at 54 North Main St. in Wolfeboro, by calling 603-5697710, or online at www. greatwaters.org.

Anyone familiar with The Barnstormers Theatre knows the legend of The Ghost Train, dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;the greatest ghost story of all time.â&#x20AC;? When Francis & Alice Cleveland and Ed Goodnow founded the The Barnstormers, they chose Arnold Ridleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Ghost Train as the first show knowing it would captivate its 1931 audience. Now, even 87 years and several performances later, audience members still

the night in a closed train station in backwoods Maine, not far from the Canadian border. When the travelers are told by the less-than-friendly Station Master the story of the ghost train that runs through there every year on the anniversary of a terrible accident, most are skeptical - until they hear the train whistle in the distance. What happens next is an adventure that will send chills down your spine! Bringing to life The Ghost Train are favorites Frank T. Wells, Jean Mar Brown, Doug Shapiro, and Buddy Haardt, with the talented John Schnatterly, Pam Schnatterly, Shayna Vercillo, Lauren Currie Lewis, Greg Pike, Jason Guy and H. Parker Roberts completing the incredible cast. While it is most certainly a ghost story and all that entails, The Ghost Train is a fun-for-all-ages show that will be an experience remembered for years to come.

The Barnstormers, a 282-seat, professional, Equity theatre founded in 1931, enjoys air conditioning, a hearing assist system and is wheelchair accessible. Thursday through the following Saturday evenings and weekend matinees, tickets cost $13.50 - $36.50 with group rates, ticket packages, and discounts available. Beer, wine and lemonade are available during intermission. Friday night is Family Night with special prices. Check the website for other specials, where to dine and stay, and other Tamworth happenings. Many thanks to our season sponsor, The Haynes

Family Foundation, for their continued support, and to The Tamworth Foundation for sponsoring The Ghost Train. For more information and tickets, visit www.barnstormerstheatre.org or call 603-323-8500.

And that evidence, at least as much as is shown in the first episode, is startling. The first episode starts with the scene of the exhumation of Holmeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body from Holy Cross Cemetery in Philadelphia. It is be-

lieved that it might not even be his; that Holmes pulled off the ultimate deception and he lived while another was buried in his place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was only one way to do that,â&#x20AC;? explained Jeff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We secured permission to exhume the presumed body through the courts, hired University of Pennsylvania archeologists and anthropologists to assist and right now I am on See mudgett on 37

pins and needles waiting for the results of the DNA testing.” Obviously, A DNA match with Jeff would put to rest this first mystery. If the body isn’t Holmes then it would also help fuel the idea of the “Holmes Curse.” “It was simply amazing how many people who were involved in his arrest and trial and alleged execution and alleged burial, either suffered death or terrible misfortune,” said Jeff. “It has always brought a question to my mind, not being a believer in the supernatural, I thought wait a minute, perhaps he isn’t

buried there and these people that had angered him he went back and visited. Another reason why I felt we needed to be sure whether it was him in that grave or not.” According to Jeff, there are two theories on Holmes’s alleged execution. One is that he was hung but he engineered that the rope would break and he escaped and a body was substituted into the box. Jeff’s theory is that a prison guard was hung in his place. “Such a con on the entire justice system would have taken a genius, which he was,” said Jeff. “One newspaper article men-

There is a lot of interesting history in Gilmanton on Holmes. Stories of how he became interested in medicine and dissection, how he liked to torture animals as a child, his failed experience as a schoolteacher in Gilmanton and even the question if he is connected to some mysterious deaths due to drowning and even

poisoning that occurred there when he was a teenager.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, July 6, 2017

The Story Of Ebenezer Mudgett It was devastating to Jeff Mudgett when he first learned about his infamous great-greatgrandfather, but he did find solace in the fact that another New Hampshire Mudgett left a more positive mark on American History. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ebenezer Mudgett motivated the Boston Tea Party with

This historic marker in Weare, NH reads: Site of Pine Tree Tavern where took place April 14, 1772 THE PINE TREE RIOT one of the first acts against the laws of England.

the lesser known Pine Tree Riotâ&#x20AC;?, said Jeff. Ebenzer Mudgett owned a lumber yard in Weare, NH. White Pines were about the straightest tree you could find and were perfect or making ship masts. In order to preserve suitable timber for the Royal Navy, the New Hampshire General Court passed a law in 1722 making it illegal to cut down â&#x20AC;&#x153;any white pine tree of the growth of 12 inches of diameterâ&#x20AC;? or face a fine. In the winter of 1771-72, a deputy Surveyor of the Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Woods found and marked for seizure 270 mast-worthy logs at Clementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mill in Oil Mill (now called Riverdale), in South Weare. He fined the log-cutters from Weare and those from nearby towns where illegal logs were also found. Men from other towns paid the fines, but those from Weare refused. Consequently, the Weare men were labeled â&#x20AC;&#x153;notorious offenders.â&#x20AC;? On April 13, 1772, they galloped into Weare and found major offender Ebenezer Mudgett, who promised to pay his fine the next day. News that they had come for Mudgett flew through town, and a plan was hatched. The following morning more than twenty men with blackened faces and switches in hand rushed into Whitingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room led by Mudgett: Whiting seized his pistols and would have shot some of them, but they caught him, took away his small guns, held him by his arms and legs up from the floor, his face down, two men on each side, and with their rods beat him to their heartsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; content. They crossed out the account against them of all logs cut, drawn and forfeited, on his bare backâ&#x20AC;Ś.They made him wish he had never heard of pine trees fit for masting the royal navy. Whiting said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;They almost killed me.â&#x20AC;? The Weare men were ultimately arraigned and paid a light fine, but their rebellion against the crown, which preceded the Boston Tea Party (1773), helped set the stage for the Revolution.

visiting Gilmanton to get as close as you can get today to the way it used to be in America.â&#x20AC;? The first episode ends with Mudgett and Fox finding some valuable evidence that could put Holmes in London at the time of the Jack The Ripper murders. The second episode takes Jeff and Amaryliss to London. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In London we secured some of the help of some of the greatest Ripper experts alive,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the audience is going to be amazed what we discovered there regarding that connection. When we lay it all out I think there are going to be many people who will change their minds and come around to my way

of viewing it. I am excited about how Magilla Entertainment and the History Channel have produced and presented this.â&#x20AC;? If the first episode is any indication, it is sure to be a wild ride as the search to make the connection takes on new clues. Where will it all lead to will only be discovered when the final episode airs in late August.

The first episode of â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Ripperâ&#x20AC;? can be seen on the History Channel on Tuesday, July 11th at 10pm. To see more on Jeff Mudgett you can also watch his Ted Talks video on YouTube where he presents his evidence on H.H. Holmes and Jack The Ripper connection.

so I added some of those. I added a few tools to make my job as a guide easier and I was on to the new bow mounted trolling motor and side scan fish finder with down imaging. This may not sound like much, but at this point I was already keeping track of expenses in the thousands. Eventually I got everything just how I wanted it The 17’ center console I bought came equipped with downriggers for trolling, so I was off the hook on that aspect. The addition of the bowmounted trolling motor and new fish finder will make it the perfect boat to guide pairs of clients trolling for landlocked salmon and vertical jigging for lake trout on Lake Winnipesaukee, or casting for trophy northern pike in the fall at Moore Reservoir. Now that I am settled in, I love the boat. It goes plenty fast enough, rides dry, and a few test trips with friends proved it to be a fishing machine. I just hope nothing breaks.

“They tried to break us all,” Justina’s dad, Lou, told me at his West Hartford home, where Justina fights to recover from post-traumatic stress and physical deterioration suffered while she was held hostage. But the arrogant, tunnel-visioned torturers failed. Thanks to an aggressive awarenessraising campaign by an eclectic coalition including Justina’s family, the Christian Defense Coalition’s Rev. Pat Mahoney, conservative media personalities and left-leaning critics of the Massachusetts child welfare bureaucracy, Justina was eventually freed and reunited with her parents. Marty G’s DDoS attacks were an instrumental catalyst at a time when Justina’s family faced a gag order for speaking out. “I never imagined a renowned hospital would be capable of such brutality and no amount of other good work could justify torturing Justina,” Marty wrote in a recent online explanation of why he intervened. “BCH calls what it did to her a ‘parentectomy,’ and there had been oth-

ers over at least the past 20 years. I knew that BCH’s big donation day was coming up, and that most donors give online. I felt that to have sufficient influence to save Justina from grievous bodily harm and possible death, as well as dissuade BCH from continuing its well established pattern of such harmful ‘parentectomies,’ I’d have to hit BCH where they appear to care the most, the pocket book and reputation.” On Tuesday, a federal judge in Boston finally set a court date in Martin “Marty” Gottesfeld’s case. After more than a year behind bars without bail (including about 80 days in solitary confinement and a stint in the same detention center as Mexico’s notorious drug cartel kingpin “El Chapo”), Marty now faces trial in January 2018. He was barred from attending his beloved adoptive father’s funeral in April. “It was the right thing to do,” Dana told me through tears as she cradled a Homeland Security storage bag with Marty’s wedding ring. She recently lost her job as a result of her advocacy for Marty. But the couple, who have never

met Justina or her family, will keep fighting medical kidnappings. Relentless as ever, Marty stressed in a brief phone conservation with me the need for state and federal “Justina’s Laws” to protect wards of the state from being used as research guinea pigs by prestigious medical institutions. Both the supporters of Justina and Marty remain aghast at the brutal treatment of their loved ones while the real menaces breathe free. Marty’s message from prison in Massachusetts: “Human rights abuses aren’t just happening in North Korea. They’re here.” Justina’s message from her wheelchair in Connecticut: She hopes her torturers “get what they deserve.” Is anyone in Washington listening? Malkin’s special program on the plight of Justina Pelletier and Marty Gottesfeld will air later this year on CRTV.com’s “Michelle Malkin Investigates.” Her email address is writemalkin@ gmail.com.

In one sense, this suits Trump. He may have a questionable partisan pedigree, but he is a natural partisan -- smash-mouth, heedless of process and norms, willing to make whatever argument suits him at any particular time. There have been many Republicans who have opposed Chuck Schumer before; it took Trump to call him a “clown.” As for congressional Republicans, they, too, don’t have much choice. Whatever their true feelings about Trump, his fate is their fate. First, a president’s approval rating heavily influences midterm elections, especially the campaign for the House. Republicans dumping Trump wouldn’t make him any more popular. Second, such a distancing is not really politically practicable. If Republicans try to skitter away from Trump, their base will roast them.

Third, Republicans want to get some things done legislatively. A poisonous split with the White House wouldn’t help. Trump may be a mercurial and frustrating partner, but he is a partner all the same. Finally, most Republicans -- quite legitimately -- think the Russian controversy is a media-driven travesty. If there were a smoking gun, this posture would probably change (obviously, in that circumstance, it should change). But Democrats are in no position to lecture Republicans on cutting loose a president of their own party when they twisted themselves in knots to defend Bill Clinton after he lied under oath over an affair that violated every feminist principle the party professed to hold. If Trump and Republicans had their druthers, neither would be in quite this position. But this is the reality for everyone. For now, there’s no way out, only through, and through it together.

built a relationship with each student, knew them by name, knew their story. ... Students didn’t want to disappoint him.” The movie made Escalante famous, but he didn’t change. He kept teaching at Garfield, telling students that even though they were poor, “With enough drive and hard work, the sky is the limit.” “The lessons I learned from Jaime, I apply them every day,” a former student told Coulson. “With my children I talk about Jaime and about ‘ganas’ — desire. Nothing’s for free. You have to work really hard if you want to achieve anything.” “Stand and Deliver” has a happy ending, but what happened in real life was no fairy tale. Coulson says, “In any other field, we might expect this combination of success, scalability, and publicity to have catapulted Escalante to the

top of his profession and spread his teaching model across the country.” That isn’t what happened. Garfield’s union teachers resented Escalante’s fame and work ethic. A former Garfield student who now is a teacher told Coulson, “The problem was that Escalante’s classes were big. ... He was setting a precedent, giving the message to the administrator: ‘If Escalante can do it, why not you?’” The union used its organizing power to get votes to oust Escalante as math department chairman. Escalante then quit. Unfortunately, Coulson did not live to see his TV series finished. He died while completing it. “School Inc.” is a wonderful memorial to Andrew Coulson and inspiration to all of us.

REAL STORIES NORTH OF CONCORD

All proceeds benefit the NH Humane Society

@ Pitman’s Freight Room Thursday, July 13th - 7:30pm $15 per person Theme : “It Seemed Like A Good Idea”

Everybody’s got a story... so what’s yours? The StorySlam

is a live storytelling competition in the vein of poetry slams organized by The Moth, a non-profit literary society from New York City, since 2001. Storytellers (slammers) have 6 minutes each to tell a story, based on a theme chosen for the event.

Come and tell your story, or just sit back and be entertained by those who do. 12 storytellers will be selected at random and have up to six minutes to tell their story. Stories can be funny, sad, inspirational or all three, but please, no politics or preaching, we all get enough of that every day as it is. Prizes will be awarded and a good time will be had by all. “StorySlams” are hugely popular events across the country, but very few, if any, have been held North of Concord. What better way to introduce it here than with a benefit for one of the area’s favorite charities? More information can be found on “Real Stories North Of Concord” Facebook page. Those who are interested in telling a story can register in advance by sending their name to realstoriesnoc@gmail.com. (Registering does not guarantee that you will be picked.) Admission is $15 per person for both storytellers and spectators. Seating is limited so call Pitman’s at 527-0043 for tickets. Pitman’s Freight Room is a bring your own food and drinks venue. Pitman’s is located at 94 New Salem Street in Laconia.
