Community morns the loss of local photographer Charlie Magee

Kevin Dayhoff October 15, 2009 (I’ll update this later with some more personal anecdotes about Mr. Magee – and some pictures. What follows is my story that I filed earlier with http://www.explorecarroll.com/ – that has not been posted, as yet, on the web site):

Community friends and family are mourning the loss of Charles Francis Magee, 88, of Westminster, who died after a long illness at the Carroll Hospice Dove House late Thursday evening.

Magee was born on his family’s farm in Reese on March 20, 1921; the son of the late John L. and Hilda L. Evans Magee. He was the husband of Madge Brown Magee, his wife of 65 years. He was a 1938 graduate of Westminster High School.

He was a popular and well-know community leader, artist and photographer who struck out on his own in the photography business at the age of 24, after he served in the Navy from 1942 to 1945.

One of his earlier photographs is in the collection of the Historical Society of Carroll County; a gift of Mrs. Betty Smith Yingling, 1992. The photograph, from November 1941, depicts “members of the Ladies Aid Society of the Meadow Branch Church of the Brethren gathered in an unidentified farmhouse room for a quilting party.”

After World War Two, he returned home to start the “Westminster Studio,” in 1945, and joined a rich history and tradition of talented artists and photographers who have chronicled the life and times of Carroll County since an itinerant photographer by the name of J. T. Williams first advertized in local newspapers in 1842.

He located his studio at 39 East Main Street – interestingly enough with phone number “39.” Later his phone number changed to “Westminster 700.” An early phone book advertisement from November 1954 said, “Photographs for every purpose, portrait, commercial … Anytime – Anywhere.”

After 40 years in the business, Magee retired in 1985; but he remained active in civic organizations and as a familiar friend at community events.

He was a member of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, and a member of the Veteran’s Corp of the Westminster Volunteer Fire Department.

According to his family, Magee was also a 63-year member and past president of the Forest and Stream Club, a 50-year member and past Master of the Door to Virtue Masonic Lodge #46, a life member of the American Legion Carroll Post 031, a member of Boumi Temple and the Bee Hive Club.

In addition to his life-long avocation as a photographer, Magee also enjoyed hobbies such as skiing, singing in various vocal groups, model trains, woodworking, hunting, and golfing, according to family members.

Surviving, in addition to his wife, are son and daughter-in-law John H. and Pat Magee of Westminster, daughter and son-in-law Bonnie S. and Jay Evans of York, PA., 5 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.

The family will receive friends at the Pritts Funeral Home and Chapel, 412 Washington Road, Westminster on Monday from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 pm where a Masonic Service will be held in the evening. A private family interment will be held at Krider’s Church Cemetery.

A Memorial Service will be held at St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, Bond and Green Streets, Westminster on Sunday, October 25 at 1:30 pm with the Rev. Marty Kuchma officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Paul’s United Church of Christ or to the charity of one’s choice.

Online condolences may be made to the family at http://www.prittsfuneralhome.com/.

WSJ stipple artist Noli Novak claims Jose Maria Cano has misappropriated her art and that subsequently President Barack Obama “was scammed by the Spaniards and the Czechs”… with the allegedly plagiarized artwork…

UPDATE ON MY "CON EXPO" TIRADE

JOSE MARIA CANO, WHAT EXACTLY IS HE DOING? ... […] ... Now, here's something I found especially appalling.

Please check out this link:

http://www.doxprague.org/en/exhibition?10/about

It reads: "Meeting with Vaclav Havel was the last point of Barack Obama's Prague visit. During this private meeting, Vaclav Havel presented American President Barack Obama - a portrait of the president by the Spanish artist José-María Cano.

"José-María Cano generously offered this painting to Vaclav Havel as a gift for Barack Obama", said Leos Valka, director of DOX, Centre for Contemporary art in Holesovice, Prague. The painting will be exhibited at the Centre from Thursday, April 9. until April 27, 2009. After that, the painting, measuring 210 x 149,5 cm, will travel to the White House. The portrait is created using the encaustic technique of painting with hot wax.

After viewing the exhibition Welcome to Capitalism!, which was on view at DOX Centre from last October to February this year, Vaclav Havel was enthusiastic about the Spanish artist's works. Therefore, DOX Centre's director, Leoš Válka offered President Vaclav Havel the option of presenting President Barack Obama with the portrait and Havel welcomed the idea."

This means a copy of a drawing I made was given as a gift to Vaclav Havel who then re-gifted it for president Obama?! And it's now hanging in the White House?! You can bet your knickers I will do my damndest to let the President know he was scammed by the Spaniards and the Czechs! ;-)))
Dice: "Reunión con Vaclav Havel fue el último punto de la visita de Barack Obama Praga. En el encuentro privado, Vaclav Havel presentó el Presidente americano Barack Obama - un retrato del presidente por el artista español José-María Cano.
"José María Cano ofreció generosamente este cuadro a Vaclav Havel como un regalo para Barack Obama", dijo Leos Valka, director de DOX, centro de arte contemporáneo en Holesovice, Praga. La pintura será exhibida en el Centro desde el jueves 9 de abril. hasta el 27 de abril 2009. Después de eso, la pintura, que mide 210 x 149,5 cm, viajará a la Casa Blanca. El retrato es creado utilizando la técnica de encáustica de la pintura con cera caliente.
Después de ver la exposición Bienvenido al capitalismo!, Que fue en la visión en DOX Centro desde octubre del año pasado a febrero de este año, Vaclav Havel, se entusiasmó con las obras del artista español. Por lo tanto, el director DOX Centro, Leoš Válka presidente Vaclav Havel ofreció la opción de presentar el Presidente Barack Obama con el retrato y Havel acogió con beneplácito la idea. "
Esto significa que una copia de un dibujo que hice fue dado como un regalo a Vaclav Havel, que luego re-dotados para el presidente Obama?! Y ahora cuelga en la Casa Blanca?! Usted puede apostar tus calzones haré mi Damndest para que el Presidente sabe que él fue engañado por los españoles y los checos! ;-)))

Truman on television and German POWs on the farm

EAGLE ARCHIVE By Kevin Dayhoff Posted on http://explorecarroll.com/community/3484/eaglearchive/ 10/04/09

One of the more interesting tidbits of history from October in yesteryear didn't take place in Carroll County, but had an impact upon our farming community — and what television looks like today.

It was Oct. 5, 1947, that the first televised presidential speech took place. President Harry S. Truman took to the airwaves to deliver an address to the nation.

The topic wasn't war, the economy or health care ... it was wheat.

What was so important about wheat? Glad you asked. Barely two years had passed since the devastating war in Europe had ended, and the continent was still in chaos.

I do not watch much of “Top 40” commercial television; however I have come to appreciate David Zurawik’s commentary on the contemporary pop-culture scene on the tube. It is intelligent and informative and keeps me up-to-date without having the dreadful experience of having to watch it.

About David Zurawik Click here for a larger image: http://twitpic.com/la8oe

I've been The Baltimore Sun's TV critic since 1989. My writings on TV and media have appeared in such publications as TV Guide, Esquire magazine and American Journalism Review.

I have a Ph.D. in American Studies from the University of Maryland, College Park, and an M.A. in specialized reporting (on popular culture) from the University of Wisconsin.

I'm the author of The Jews of Prime Time (Brandeis University Press), a look at 50 years of Jewish characters and identity on network TV. I have also been with WYPR-FM (88.1) radio since 1994 and can be heard Thursday mornings at 7:30 doing a weekly "Take on Television" report.
