Tea Party participant honored in Marblehead – Itemlive – Daily Item

MARBLEHEAD Dozens gathered on a cold and wet Sunday morning at Green Street Cemetery to commemorate Dr. Elisha Story of Marblehead, a known participant in the Boston Tea Party.

2023 marks the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, the historical event that involved American colonists dumping hundreds of chests of tea into the harbor in protest of being taxed by the British without representation. The Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum (BTPSM) and Revolution 250, an effort made up by various organizations to honor the 250th anniversary of events that led to the American Revolution, have set out to place commemorative markers on every known participants gravesite by Dec. 16, 2023. To date, 121 markers have already been placed.

Of course, ceremonies such as this one are part of these commemorative efforts honoring those who risked everything to take part in an act of protest that would ultimately define a nation, said BTPSM Creative Manager Evan OBrien at the beginning of the ceremony.

Story was born in 1743, and was 30 years old at the time the Tea Party occurred. He became a doctor and a surgeon during the Revolutionary War, and practiced in and around the area of Boston. In 1765, his practice was broken into during the Stamp Act Riots, and he witnessed the testimony of several people during the Boston Massacre Trial.

On November 29, 1773, Story volunteered to guard the Dartmouth as the East India Company tea was entering Boston Harbor.

BTPSM Research Coordinator Kristin Harris said that finding and researching some participants in the Tea Party were challenging, but researching Story was an easier task.

He was a very well-known historical figure and also a very well-to-do person in society so oftentimes people like Dr. Story, its not that hard because they have a decent record, said Harris. Some of our working class people, its very very difficult because they dont have as much.

Many of Storys descendants were in attendance for the commemoration, including Judith Goodwin OLeary, who called the commemoration a special event.

Of course were proud of him, she said.

William Cloutman was another of Storys descendants who attended the commemoration, and said that he feels a sense of pride living in a town with such a rich history.

One of the gentlemen was talking about pride and the town, and I absolutely feel that, said Cloutman. I am so, so proud to be from Marblehead.

After the Tea Party, Story, according to his pension records, served in Capt. Cogswells company, which responded to Lexington and Concord and was supposedly present in the Revolutionary War battles fought in those locations.

Story eventually started his own practice in Marblehead and married Ruth Ruddock, before marrying a second time to Mehitable Pedrick following Ruddocks death. He had 20 children between his two marriages and after an eventful life, Story passed away on August 27, 1805.

Our hope is that these markers will encourage visitors to remember and reflect upon the deeds of the common yet critically important citizens that are responsible for the formative years of our region and our nation, said OBrien.

He thanked Pam Peterson from the Marblehead Historical Commission, Town Historian Don Doliber, the Cemetery Commissions Cathy Kolbiaka, and Eric Berg from the Philanthropic Lodge of Marblehead, where Story was Worshipful Master, for their efforts in making the ceremony possible. Revolution 250 Coordinator Jonathan Lane gave his remarks before the ceremonial marker was placed alongside Storys grave. A gun salute was performed at the end of the commemoration by members of Glovers Regiment.

THE NOTEBOOK: Stuart Pearce’s tea party was a bad omen for West Ham – Daily Mail

A crazy afternoon at Selhurst Park saw more goals than what the home of Crystal Palace has seen in the entire year prior to West Ham's arrival.

Roy Hodgson's interim appointment couldn't have worked better with the club now all but certain of their Premier League survival as they picked up another three valuable three points.

But that wasn't the case for West Ham who's relegation concerns are now becoming a serious and realistic threat for David Moyes and his squad.

The Hammers are just five points above the drop and erratic performances such as Saturday's 4-3 defeat don't inspire much defensive confidence.

Mail Sport's Kieran Gill takes a look at some of the things you may have missed.

STUART PEARCE'S TEA PARTY WAS A BAD OMEN

Though no longer a coach at the club, Stuart Pearce popped into West Hams training ground on Tuesday to host his annual St George's Day tea party on the veranda.

Rather like Ray Winstone leading a knitting circle or Vinnie Jones teaching a class on the art of floristry, it doesnt seem to fit the Psycho persona we know him for. Since then, West Ham have lost twice 2-1 to Liverpool and 4-3 here to Crystal Palace.

Their predicament is much more serious than a storm in a teacup. Theyre still in this Premier League relegation race and looking over their shoulder.

PALACE'S HISTORIC FORMATION CHANGE

Look at Crystal Palace's average player positions from this frantic first half and you could argue Roy Hodgson uses a 2-3-5 formation a system which was known as the Pyramid and popular in the late 1800s.

Hodgson may be the Premier League's oldest manager but he's not that old! Nevertheless, this is part of modern football where players are constantly on the move, rarely sticking to their starting positions.

HOW'S YOUR TOUCH ROY?

He may be 75 but Hodgson cannot resist trying to control a ball dropping from the Gods. His touch in the technical area drew one of the day's loudest cheers, with Crystal Palace's backroom staff giggling behind him.

SOUCEK'S SLIDING RATING

Player ratings are tricky and Tomas Soucek was all over my sliding scale here. First, he scored a goal.Continue like this, Tomas, and youre on your way to an eight.Then, he cost a goal.Oh dear, down to five you go.

Then, he made a goal.OK, now Im lost.Soucek epitomised this up-and-down spectacle. In the end, Soucek received a safe six.

THE STAT THAT HAUNTS WEST HAM FANS

As anyone who has been in Selhurst Parks away end will attest, its cosy, its cramped, its sweaty. You get to know the fans on your left and right better than you would care to.

West Hams supporters went wild when they took the lead, though they should have been mindful of one statistic in particular.

The team scoring first in this fixture had won only one of the last 11 Premier League meetings. We can now make that 12.

RICE'S RECORD MILESTONE

Declan Rice made his 200th Premier League appearance for West Ham here. Aged 24 years and 105 days, he is the ninth youngest to reach this milestone in the Prem and the youngest since Raheem Sterling in 2018.

How many of his next 200 will be for West Ham remains to be seen.

New Ipswich Planning Board gets extra time to review Silver Scone … – Monadnock Ledger Transcript

Monadnock Ledger-Transcript

Published: 5/1/2023 2:02:10 PM

Modified: 5/1/2023 2:01:43 PM

Jane Elwell, owner of the proposed Silver Scone Teas tea party event business on River Road, agreed to extend the deadline for the Planning Board to render a decision on a review of the site plans, in order to submit more-detailed plans.

Once the Planning Board accepts the plans as complete, ithas 65 days to render a decision by state lawunless an extension is granted by the applicant.

Planning Board Chair Deirdre Daley informed ElwellWednesdaythat the board was not prepared to make an informed decision without more-detailed engineered plans. While a consensus of the board was not taken, Daley brought up the possibility of denying the application without prejudice meaning Elwell could reapply at a later date if the board did not have all information needed to make a decision.

Board members requested plans with more-specific information on the parking lot, including pre- and post-construction elevations, grades, slopes, more information on the drainage, erosion plan, turning radius and the surface or materials that are to be used.

With the possibility of the proposal being rejected, Elwell agreed to extend the hearing past the early May deadline.

A proposal to use a cleared area off of Currier Road, which is part of Elwells property, as a 18-space parking lot continued to be a main source of contention with neighbors to the property, who have protested the businesss approvals through other boards. In particular,the possibility of overflow parking remained a major concern. When approving the variance for the business, the Zoning Board allowed events up to four times a month, with no more than 50 guests at a time. The parking lot accommodates up to 18 cars, with an additional five additional spots in Elwells driveway or garage, as detailed in plans submitted to the Planning Board.

Attorney Nancy Clark, who represents a group of abutters and neighborhood residents around Elwells home, has challenged the validity of the gravel parking lot, as well as the driveway spots. Issues include the parking lot and the spots located behind Elwells mailbox not being paved, and the driveway spots stacked and blocking the garage in defiance of the towns ordinances.

Neighbors questioned where any overflow parking might go. Daley said she had consulted with the Zoning Board on its decisions related to parking, which were to limit the business parking to off-street. Daley said that is the intent, although there is no ordinance prohibiting street parking on the road.

Clark challenged that assertion, noting that the Zoning Boards intent mattered less than what was actually put to paper which she said included all business-related parking, not specifically customers, and should include any employees or people who assist during Elwells events.

Elwell said all her events are by reservation, and she can easily direct people where to park during those reservations, as well as put up and take down signs directing people to parking during eventsto prevent overflow onto the road.

The Planning Board continued the hearing until May 17.

With the decision from the Planning Board still pending, Elwell and the neighbors, represented by Clark, will be before the New Hampshire Housing Appeals Board, to debate appeals of two previous town decisions related to the business the Zoning Boards approval of a variance to allow the business in a village zone, and an approval of a driveway permit for the parking area.

The Housing Appeals Board has scheduled a prehearing conference for the two appeals on May 2 in Concord, with the hearing itself scheduled for May 16.
