Every four years, the Baker Street Irregulars, the New York-based literary society dedicated to studying Sherlock Holmes, arranges an excursion somewhere in the United States. These events happen outside of the usual BSI Weekend, and like the weekend itself, are open to all interested Sherlockians.<br />
<br />
The first in 2004 took the group to Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania to the locales that inspired <i>The Valley of Fear</i>; then in 2008, the group went to Salt Lake City on the trail of <i>A Study in Scarlet</i>; in 2012, Los Angeles played host to a film-related conference. And in 2016, the group headed to the <a href="http://ciweb.org/" target="_blank">Chautauqua Institution</a> for "The Mind and Art of Sherlock Holmes."<br />
<br />
And this time, we were there! We managed to not only listen to and see some wonderful presentations, but we gave one of our own on the future of our little publication. But in the meantime, we nabbed a few of the speakers and got their stories — stories that went beyond the presentations. We even have some audio (and video clips below) of Philip Carli at the piano during the silent showings of the William Gillette film and Eille Norwood shorts. We even have some breaking news on a newly-discovered silent Sherlock Holmes film — the last one ever produced, in 1929.<br />
<br />
Join us to hear why this hobby is about more than the collective events and publications; it's about relationships.<br />

An Interview with the John H. Watson Society Treasure Hunt Master

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Every August, online Sherlockians can count on the <a href="http://johnhwatsonsociety.com/treasure-hunt">John H. Watson Society Treasure Hunt</a>
taxing their knowledge of the sacred writings. 
Having just ended its fourth annual treasure hunt on September 1, we
interviewed “The Napoleon of Questions” behind the event, Margie Deck.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h4>
<b>I Hear of Sherlock
Everywhere: How did the John H. Watson Society Treasure Hunt get started?  Have you been associated with it since the
beginning?</b></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Margie Deck:</b>
The Treasure Hunt, along with the John H. Watson Society as a whole, was the
brain-child of the late Don ‘Buttons’ Libey. He was a brilliant, enthusiastic,
friendly and kind man.  He conceived the
Treasure Hunt in 2013 as an individual competition. I read a posting he made at <i>Welcome
Holmes</i> about the society and the hunt. My first thoughts were that I wanted to give it a try, and, instead of
going it alone, I wanted to try it as part of a team made up of some of my Sherlockian
friends from <a href="http://soundofthebaskervilles.com/">The Sound of the Baskervilles</a>. I wrote to Buttons asking if the JHWS would consider adding a
team division to the hunt; he readily agreed. 
Our Sherlockian friendship began at that time, and I was fortunate to enjoy
working with him until his passing in early 2015. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first Treasure Hunt was insanely difficult and
wonderfully entertaining. I have no idea
how many hours we worked on it but, in the end, the SOBs prevailed--and my SOB
team mate and best friend, Sheila Holtgrieve, and I were solidly hooked on the
process. I believe that first year two
teams and one individual, the very clever Denny Dobry of Reading, Pennsylvania,
<a href="http://johnhwatsonsociety.com/treasure-hunt/results">actually finished it</a>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Buttons was posting a weekly quiz for the JHWS at that time.
Sheila and I started doing those each week in order to practice for the next
Treasure Hunt.  With Buttons’ urging, I began
a puzzle column for <i><a href="http://johnhwatsonsociety.com/the-watsonian">The Watsonian</a></i>; we discussed quizzing and the Treasure Hunt
process often.  Buttons wrote the 2014
edition of the hunt, and the SOBs earned High Honors that year as well.  <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In late December 2014, Buttons asked me to write the 2015
Treasure Hunt. I declined because I
wanted to be a contestant one more time, and, to be honest, I was a little
nervous about the whole idea. I made a commitment at that time to write the
2016 edition. When he passed away suddenly in March, it seemed only right that
I volunteer to write for 2015. He had previously asked me to do so, and I
wanted to help the JHWS continue. His
loss was a crushing blow for me personally and for the society. It literally
takes a dozen people to do all the tasks he took care of for JHWS. I miss him
every day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wrote the 2015 and the 2016 edition; I’m very proud of the
work. I like to think Buttons would be proud of it as well.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h4>
<b>IHOSE: How have you
seen the treasure hunt change over the years?</b></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>MD:</b> The main
change has been the number of participants actually submitting an entry. We have doubled each year, and I’m hopeful
2016 will be our best year yet in number of competitors. One thing I have loved about the Treasure
Hunt is that it has been an international competition from the beginning.
Having teams from various countries makes our competition unique. In 2015, we
added teams from Canada and the UK to compete with our returning French, Italian
and American teams. This year we added
competitors from <a href="http://www.sherlockholmessociety.in/">The Sherlock Holmes Society of India</a>. I hope the growth
continues.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One change I
instituted is the scoring by points. Each question is, of course, one point unless it has more than one
element, and then each element has a point. I believe in the 2016 edition, questions range from one point to up to
four or five points. I added this simply
to make the hunt more competitive. Holmes said playing the game is its own reward but I think we still like
to win. The points help mix it up a bit.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The other changes in the hunt are in the writing process. Buttons
crafted his hunts with lengthy threads where one answer was required in order
to have the needed information to answer the next question.  The threads were good fun, but I made the decision
to not use them. His threads required
the use of a specific edition of the Canon due to the need for specific page
numbers and word counts. I thought we might have more competitors if any
edition of the Canon would suffice as a reference. Also, Buttons’ hunts required access to a
great deal of the scholarship, including the old and new series of <i><a href="http://www.bakerstreetjournal.com/">The Baker Street Journal</a></i> and <i>The Baker Street Miscellanea</i>. When I was a competitor, I did not have access
to those publications, and I found it difficult to work on the threads without
them at hand. So, again, I hoped to increase our numbers by not requiring that
access.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, I do want to honor the scholarship and I do include
some scholarship questions. When I write questions that require going outside
the Canon, I spend some time on the internet looking for the sought
answer. I do not use a question from
outside the Canon that I cannot find an answer for with an internet search of
some sort.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h4>
<b>IHOSE: Have you
already started working on next year's devilish questions yet?  How far in advance do you start?</b></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>MD: </b>Actually, as
the plan is now, I will be a competitor again in 2017. The amazing Michele Lopez of the <a href="http://www.unostudioinholmes.org/homepage.htm">Uno Studio in Holmes</a> of Italy has
agreed to be Treasure Hunt Master next year. He is a driving force within the Sherlockian community in Italy, and his
team scored High Honors in the 2015 Treasure Hunt, and Honors in 2014. He has written some of the weekly quizzes at
JHWS and I know he is going to be a terrific hunt master.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Asking Michele to write next year’s hunt was my idea; I
think all volunteer organizations need a healthy spirit of rotation in order to
thrive. Taking a break should help my
creative process and keep my question writing from becoming stale; it is also
good to be reminded what it is like to be a competitor. I hope to come back as Treasure Hunt Master
in 2018, or 2019, depending on how things work out.  Should something go awry with our plan, I
will write in 2017 if needed. Hopefully,
I will have plenty of notice as it does take some time to craft the questions. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 2015, I did not know until March, of course, that I
needed to write the hunt, so I had from March 15 to July 31. I finished the final draft about July 20<sup>th</sup>. For 2016, I knew that I had a year to
prepare.  I started drafting ideas in
October, and writing questions in earnest in January; the final draft was
complete around July 1. For my writing
process, I need about six months. I do
not know how long it took Buttons to write the first hunt; I know he did the
second one in a month. I would not be
able to do it in a month.  But then, he
had read the Canon from beginning to end every single year for thirty
consecutive years. He knew his Holmes
and Watson.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The time it takes to finish somewhat depends on the time my
proof reader has available to work with me. 
While I believe Buttons worked alone, I do not want to.  For 2015, my friend, the very astute Melissa Anderson
of the Peoria-based <a href="http://www.sherlockpeoria.net/Hansom_pages/Hansomsmain.html">Hansoms of John Clayton</a>, worked with me, and in 2016, my SOB teammate Sheila Holtgrieve and
I were back working together.   <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h4>
<b>IHOSE: Can you
describe the question making process for us?</b></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>MD: </b>For me, the
first step is, oddly enough, the last question. “What is the treasure for the year?” must be answered first. Once that question is sorted, I spend a great
deal of time just reading. When
something seems interesting to me, I make a note, and then go back to
reading. Like most people I know, I have
a stack of Sherlockian books in the house. I open one at random, read a few paragraphs,
make a few notes, close it, pickup another one and do the same thing. Before long, I have a stack of notes about
things I found interesting from different sources. I take those topics to the Canon, and start
searching for the applicable parts of the stories. I often get side-tracked. I will be reading a story, looking for one
thing based on the notes I made, find something else more interesting, and
start working on it. Once I am clear on the idea for the question, then I start
working on the wording. The question
must not be too easy but it must be answerable. This year I chose a quote from the Canon for the theme, and then crafted
the questions in a manner that reflected the theme.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once I have some questions written, I share them with my
proof-reader. Besides the standard
check-for-grammar-typing-spelling-errors, I ask my helper to apply a three-part
assessment to each question:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<ol>
<li>When you read the question, do you understand what you
are being asked to find? </li>
<li>Do you see something in the wording that gives you a clue
as to where to begin to look for an answer?</li>
<li>Does the answer I have seem appropriate for the question
as written?</li>
</ol>
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If the helper cannot answer yes to each of the three
questions, then I re-write it until she can. One question this year was re-written at least six times. Sheila went one step farther this year and
drafted some question ideas as well; while she didn’t actually write questions,
her ideas were very helpful. Being a
three-year veteran of the hunt, she has some mad quizzing skills and I trust
her instincts. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I have 100 questions written, I read the document out
loud to see if it actually flows. Reading aloud engages a different part of the brain than reading
silently; Sheila and I read it aloud in June, and found two errors that had
been on the thing for months that our eyes simply didn’t ‘see.’ It is an interesting process. I like that you used the word ‘devilish’ when
referring to the questions. As a matter
of fact, Sheila referred to them the same way. I have no idea why I can write them that way.  I just can.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h4>
<b>IHOSE: What was your
inspiration for the mixture questions that were added to this year's hunt?</b></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>MD: </b>The mixtures
idea came from the quote used for the theme—“…that mixture of imagination and
reality which is the basis of my art…”  I was telling someone about the chosen theme, and I said “Here, I go.
I’m going to mix things up,” and the idea for the structure just popped into my
head.  <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h4>
<b>IHOSE: Sherlockian
research and mentions of Holmes in other writer's works have appeared in
questions from time to time.  How far do
you allow yourself to stray from the Canon when making the questions?</b></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>MD: </b>As I’ve noted
before in this discussion, I want to honor the scholarship in a few questions,
and occasionally something really interesting relating to Holmes and Watson
will pop up in another, non-Sherlockian text. When I find something I would like to use, I use Google, or a similar
search engine to see if I can arrive at the information online. If I can, then I start working with the
information to craft a question. If I am
directly quoting another writer, I try to make it very clear so the treasure
hunter can see that he or she has the option of searching for those exact
words. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h4>
<b>IHOSE: Have you had
any upset participants when a ruling didn't go in their favor?</b></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>MD: </b>My experience
has always been positive. Actually I
think the only person ever even a tiny bit snappy about the Treasure Hunt was <i>me</i>; I was fussy with Buttons about a
certain question pertaining to a proper noun in 2014. If anyone were to be
grumpy with me, I would probably write it off to “third-week fatigue” and just
go on. That was certainly the case with
me, Buttons, and that proper noun. I understand it.  I have yet to have a truly rotten experience
with a Sherlockian about anything.  </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For those of us that read <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose56" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brad Keefauver</a>’s blog at <i><a href="http://sherlockpeoria.blogspot.com/">Sherlock Peoria</a></i>, we know that he has had some opinions about the Treasure Hunt,
and, last year, he wrote a piece calling me out a bit for going too far to help
someone with a question about the Treasure Hunt. His words were blunt but he was absolutely
right. I appreciate the honesty.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h4>
<b>IHOSE: What is your
favorite Canonical story?</b></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>MD: </b>Most of the
time, my favorite is "Charles Augustus Milverton," but I like "The Adventure of the Dying Detective" quite a bit, and I have a soft spot
for "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle." I guess that means that I am
unable to name just one. I can tell you
that "The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone" is my least favorite, except for that one line about Watson never
failing to play the game. Love that!</div>

<b>IHOSE: The John H.
Watson Society Treasure Hunt is available all over the world because of online
communication.  What are your thoughts on
the rise of online Sherlockiana?</b></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>MD: </b>In 2003 I
discovered the online group <i>Welcome
Holmes</i>, and it changed my life. 
Talking with Sherlockians from everywhere became an integral part of my
life; when I moved to the Pacific Northwest in 2006, I joined The Sound of the
Baskervilles, and added the fellowship of a local group. I would not want to give up either way of
having Sherlockian friends.<br />
<br />
Now, ten
years later, online communication has exploded and it seems quaint to think
there was a time it wasn’t available. Since BBC Sherlock became a force on the net, I feel happily
over-whelmed by it all. I’ve given up trying to keep up, and as a tiny fish in
vast ocean, I enjoy what comes my way and do not worry too much about the
rest. I have never really enjoyed
Sherlockian pastiche and therefore I tend to pass up the fanfic, and I don’t
participate in Facebook, so I miss a lot. I have made some lasting, wonderful friendships online and I’m grateful
for that. I understand there are some
dust-ups online from time to time between various mind-sets about what
constitutes being a Sherlockian. I stay
out of the fray. I think online
Sherlockiana is a blessing.</div>

Petr Kopl's Sherlock Holmes — A Review

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
"...with the same feverish animation as before" [DYIN]</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVd0S3BNoIKE5Ir6m2nDXDW5zMtVy7eAwl2kOLcAX67KCClQxzXmf_B1aZfTDUtfeda7AvynK7VTlrT4DBcwtt9hhPc84L3DW8i_1evGwxd7J6zIKLle6W3fcrdtjkIaPCpX6OpX_qRhQs/s1600/kopl02_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVd0S3BNoIKE5Ir6m2nDXDW5zMtVy7eAwl2kOLcAX67KCClQxzXmf_B1aZfTDUtfeda7AvynK7VTlrT4DBcwtt9hhPc84L3DW8i_1evGwxd7J6zIKLle6W3fcrdtjkIaPCpX6OpX_qRhQs/s640/kopl02_1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Graphic novel and comic book adaptations of Sherlock Holmes often use canon as a departure point, crafting unique tales that create a properly Victorian atmosphere of high drama.<br />
<br />
Czech artist <a href="http://www.petrkopl.cz/" target="_blank">Petr Kopl's</a> adaptations of <b>"<a href="http://mxpublishing.com/product/9781780926803/A+Scandal+In+Bohemia+%E2%80%93+A+Sherlock+Holmes+Graphic+Novel" target="_blank">A Scandal In Bohemia</a>"</b> and <b><i><a href="http://mxpublishing.com/product/9781780927237/The+Hound+of+The+Baskervilles++%E2%80%93+A+Sherlock+Holmes+Graphic+Novel" target="_blank">The Hound of the Baskervilles</a></i></b> (both translated by Paul and Jana Simpson and released by MX Publishing) are a rare breed of pastiche: integrating the Canon and other Victorian-era references into a great mix that make for an astoundingly fun read.<br />
<br />
One of Kopl's strengths in both novels is his reliance on the original Sherlock Holmes stories to guide his storytelling, making these novels feel very Holmesian in spirit. (It's no wonder that the <a href="http://www.sherlockholmes.cz/" target="_blank">Czech Society of Sherlock Holmes</a> granted him an honorary membership in 2000). His adaptation of <b>A Scandal in Bohemia</b> manages to integrate <a href="http://sherlockholmes.stanford.edu/readings2.html" target="_blank">"The Adventure of the Speckled Band"</a> seamlessly, making it part of the overall story without any artificiality. Although seemingly the most retold Holmes tale in the canon, Kopl's adaptation of <b><i>The Hound of the Baskervilles</i></b> manages a pitch-perfect atmosphere of brooding horror and malevolence.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOECWhkfK_Tlz5BsEzMS3xWso3o08pBIlTpJ6o_E2cHLai-eyiFkJCAv7ZOd1r1njuPrIMwZUixT02YhCO_638AUGekX80MZd9-PqlriyULwVEwq2t9C061MWL2e7c3bS9OGzNNdKhQ4y5/s1600/Kopl+SCAN+scene.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOECWhkfK_Tlz5BsEzMS3xWso3o08pBIlTpJ6o_E2cHLai-eyiFkJCAv7ZOd1r1njuPrIMwZUixT02YhCO_638AUGekX80MZd9-PqlriyULwVEwq2t9C061MWL2e7c3bS9OGzNNdKhQ4y5/s640/Kopl+SCAN+scene.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
What makes both of Kopl's Holmes adaptations work is a strong sense of wit. Despite the slightly exaggerated quality of his art, Kopl never plays his Holmes and Watson strictly for laughs...although there are some legitimately laugh-out-loud moments. Kopl also integrates many clever references to other Victorian literary figures such as Phineas Fogg and a familiar character who got on the wrong train. (To say more would be spoiling). There is only one false note - an appearance by a more fantastic Victorian-era character - but otherwise these are spectacular works of Sherlockian lore.<br />
<br />
(Note: Kopl indicates that these two novels are part of a larger series narrative; however, both of these work very well as stand-alone reads. The third in the series—not reviewed for this article—is "<a href="http://mxpublishing.com/product/9781780928357/The+Final+Problem+%E2%80%93+A+Sherlock+Holmes+Graphic+Novel" target="_blank">The Final Problem</a>").<br />
<br />
With many artists and writers crafting graphic novel adaptations of the canon, there is a diverse range of works for Sherlockian scholars and fans to enjoy. Petr Kopl's "<b>A Scandal In Bohemia"</b> and <b><i>The Hound of the Baskervilles</i></b> are excellent starting points).<br />
<br />
All three of these Holmesian adaptations are available from <a href="http://mxpublishing.com/product/9781780926803/A+Scandal+In+Bohemia+%E2%80%93+A+Sherlock+Holmes+Graphic+Novel" target="_blank">MX Publishing</a>.<br />

You might call them the first couple of the Baker Street Irregulars. Albert ("Inspector Bradstreet") and Julia ("Mrs. Turner") Rosenblatt have graced the Sherlockian scenes as a couple since the early 1970s.<br />
<br />
We had a chance to visit them at their home in New York, where we heard about a little girl named Margie and an unrelated trip to Meiringen were responsible for sparking the interest that led to so many amazing things.<br />
<br />
From arranging the quinquennial Sherlockian dinners at the Culinary Institute of America with Master Chef Fritz Sonnenschmidt, BSI ("Simpson's") to writing <i>Dining with Sherlock Holmes</i>, and providing us with the BSI year-in-review in verse and a second generation Sherlockian, Al and Julie have been sparking plugs for many others. <br />
<br />
Join us to hear why this hobby is about more than the collective events and publications; it's about relationships.<br />
