Phil Grout’s exhibition at Birdie's Cafe Gallery in Westminster ended on January 2, 2011 after a well-received two-month showing.

Grout, an award-winning photojournalist, fine art photographer appeared for the opening of a retrospective show of his work on November 5, 2010 at Birdie's Café 233 East Main Street, Westminster, MD 21157 - http://www.birdiescoffee.com/

The show titled “44/40,” spanned over four decades of Grout’s work, from Vietnam to Africa, Plains Georgia, to Carroll County; and includes almost 70 pieces of work.  (See also: http://www.scribd.com/doc/41131999/Phil-Grout-award-winning-photojournalist-to-appear-at-Birdie%E2%80%99s-Cafe-Gallery-in-Westminster)

An article about Grout’s critically acclaimed show appeared in the Carroll Eagle on November 7, 2010.  The article may be found at: http://www.explorecarroll.com/community/4918/photojournalist-phil-grout-shows-decades-work-birdies-caf/

At that time, Sherri Hosfeld Joseph, the owner of Birdie’s and an artist herself, added, “Phil Grout is one of the greatest photojournalists of his generation.  We are truly blessed as a community that he has chosen our stories to document.  Phil has an amazing ability to find the extraordinary in everyday life - and this show, a retrospective of forty-four years of his work, will leave you awestruck.”

On November 6^th, 2010, Grout published the following notes and anecdotes about his show, the art exhibited and his four-decade journey as an artist: “Phil Grout 44/40 in Light.” http://www.scribd.com/doc/46301381/Phil-Grout-art-exhibition-ends-at-Birdie-s-Cafe-Gallery-in-Westminster-Maryland

January 1, 1971: The latest in the series of efforts to discredit "The Star Spangled Banner"

January 1, 1971: The latest in the series of efforts to discredit "The Star Spangled Banner"

Community Reporter, January 1, 1971.

THE NATIONAL ANTHEM - The latest in the series of efforts to discredit "The Star Spangled Banner" as this country's National Anthem has come from the Artistic Administrator of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, in Washington, D. C. George London, a 50-year-old Canadian vocalist who has made a name for himself in the opera world by singing grand opera parts in the Hollywood Bowl, in San Francisco and in Vienna, Austria, and who also sang the title role in "Boris Gudunov," in Moscow, in the U.S. S. R., has given it as his opinion that "The Star Spangled Banner" is "difficult for most people to sing."

Mr. London may be an authority on opera music, but apparently he possesses weak objections to patriotic airs.

"The Star Spangled Banner" is sung by thousands of Americans in patriotic gatherings all over the country, and apparently not too many who have any talent for singing at all have difficulty in handling this number.

Authorities in the type of music which stirs and stimulates the patriotic feelings, such as John Philip Sousa, the "March King," have given it as their opinions that it is an excellent composition, well-adapted not only for singling, but also for marching music.

We have no criticism of Mr. London's ability in his field, but his field is not patriotic musical composition. Irving Berlin, who wrote "God Bless America," would be a more acceptable critic in this area.

Millions have grown to love Francis Scott Key's stirring version, and perhaps it is not so much the fact that the music is objectionable as it is that the words were inspired during a British abortive attack on Fort McHenry.

After all Mr. London is a Canadian native, and may still have some feeling for the land of his birth, which has pretty close ties with the British Crown.

Veteran firefighter Fred Plunkert was honored for 50-years of service at the December meeting of the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. 1.

“I joined the fire company on December 7, 1960,” Plunkert said later.  “But that wasn’t the beginning of me and the fire company.  When I got out of the service the first job I had was for the fire company.  I was a paid man at the fire department.”

The Westminster fire department has had paid help since the 1920s to ensure full-time coverage to the community for fire and ambulance service.

Plunkert simply explained, “They had a job opening,” when asked why he got involved with the fire service.  He had grown-up on a farm just north of Westminster in was then known as Mt. Pleasant – on Route 97 near the intersection of Stone Road…  http://www.explorecarroll.com/community/5023/plunkert-cited-50-years-westminster-fire-company-responder/
