Off Track Art Reception for photographer Bob Boner will take place July 18, 2014
Off Track Art Reception for photographer Bob Boner will take
place July 18, 2014
An exhibition featuring photographer Bob Boner will begin
July 1, 2014 and run through August 31, 2014 at Off Track Art in Westminster.
A reception will take place on July 18th, 2014,
from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
“Bob is essentially self-taught, though he admits to
pestering more experienced photographers with “countless questions.” He taught both traditional and digital
photography at WMC/McDaniel College in addition to his regular classes for the
mathematics department.
“Since his retirement in 2007, Bob has been able to travel
to find a wider range of subjects and at home, his growing grandchildren are
favorite models.”
In a recent e-mail Mr. Boner wrote, “I became interested in
photography in 1968 when I lost my wife's camera in a canoe accident.
Fortunately, I didn't lose her.
“I am essentially self-taught in the sense that I have taken
no formal photography classes, but pestered more accomplished photographers
with countless questions.
“A chemist, an artist, and I taught the first photography
class at Western Maryland (now McDaniel) College in 1972. After that, I taught
it by myself, whenever I could, in the January Term, regular semesters, and
summer school, until the college hired a full-time photography teacher.
“With the advent of digital photography, I began teaching
photography again. In 2007 I retired from my full-time position in the
mathematics department after 37 years, but continued teaching photography in
the January Term.
“My photographic interests are primarily nature/wildlife and
grandchildren. My original interest in wildlife was in bird photography. But
since retiring, I have been able to get out west in late fall to photograph
other species of wildlife.”

Artist
Biography
After
working in the corporate world for many years Donna took an early
retirement. In January 2007, she took
her first art class at Carroll Community College. She continued with private watercolor classes
with Felisa Flecker, workshops and classes with Tara Grim, Carolyn Seabolt,
Sarah Abel DeLuca, and Skip Lawrence.
Presently Donna enjoys abstract painting, using acrylics, collage and
mixed media with Ed Ramsburg, who continually encourages her to grow as an
artist.
She
has exhibited at Carroll County Community College – The Great Hall, Carroll
Life Gallery, Circuit Court Building, Carroll County Arts Council, Frederick
Arts Council (FAC), Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center (DVAEC), The
Artists Gallery, FMH Crestwood Gallery, and Frederick County Art
Association. Within this past year, two
of the art pieces have been shown at the Annapolis Statehouse Building. Presently, original pieces and giclees are in
private collections and consigned in a local shop.
When
Donna was in the second grade art class, she remembered feeling the excitement
when painting her first abstract. Now
she is focusing on acrylic, collage and mixed media abstracts - the larger the
canvas, the better. She enjoys
expressing creativity through painting and going to new levels using the
imagination with whatever materials are available. The whole process from beginning to end is
exhilarating! I love sharing my world of color with others.

Big turn out for first annual Westminster New Year’s Eve celebration
Big turn out for first annual Westminster New Year’s Eve celebration
Almost 500 attend a flag raising at the stroke of midnight.

New Year’s Eve celebration
go to “Westminster
Welcomes 2012” by Kym
Byrnes on Westminster Patch: http://westminster.patch.com/articles/westminster-welcomes-2012
At the stroke of midnight New Year’s Day in downtown
Westminster, nothing dropped. Not a brightly lighted ball - or anything, for
that matter.
As the crowd shouted in unison, “five, four, three, two,
one; Happy New Year” - a large American flag was raised on a bright yellow
bucket lift donated by Ben’s Rental. “2012” accompanied the flag in numbers in
bright lights on a homemade four-by- eight Styrofoam backboard powered by a portable
generator.
“Hey, you know, I mean, why not, we’re always looking up in
Westminster…and if anything, we’re patriotic…,” said Westminster Kevin Utz with
a broad grin, as he nodded approvingly at the flag suspended about thirty-five-feet
in the air above Main Street.
With the temperature in the lower 40s, no snow and hardly
any wind, the weather was perfect for almost 500 people who attended the first
annual Westminster New Year’s Eve celebration in historic downtown Westminster
Saturday night.
Lori Graham, who spearheaded the event, had put a great deal
of thought as to “what the heck do you drop” for a new Westminster New Year’s
Eve tradition. Oh, there were plenty of silly ideas, smiled Graham devilishly.
In the end, it was decided to not drop anything at all.
In honor of the troops, the men and women in uniform, coming
home from the Middle East, Graham wanted to honor their service by raising the
flag for the Carroll County New Year’s celebration in the first unit block of
West Main Street. “I wanted a patriotic Westminster family-oriented event.”
The Westminster police and the Westminster street department
blocked-off the area just minutes before 11:30 p.m., Saturday evening, as folks
had already begun to gather.
Westminster Councilman Tony Chiavacci was there, with thirty
folks from his New Year’s Eve party. “I brought the whole party here,” said
Chiavacci as he peered over the crowd. “Great to see everyone here… Give us a
couple of years and look out Times Square,” in a reference to the hundreds of
thousands who attend the traditional dropping of an expensive Tiffany Ball.
New York City got started on its New Year’s Eve celebration
over a hundred years ago - in 1906. This was Westminster’s first year for a
family-community celebration and Graham and city officials and other community
leaders got started on last Saturday’s event, about 100-days ago...
“Just like New York,” said Bernie Stallknecht, from
Hampstead. She was there with her family. “We unusually go the (Baltimore)
harbor. We wanted to support a Carroll County celebration… (This was) just
wonderful. Keep it local.”
“No wonder they came here. New York hasn’t got anything on
Westminster,” added Graham, as families hugged and kissed and strangers greeted
each other with “Happy New Year.”
Westminster Volunteer Fire Department President Bob
Cumberland, watched from the back of the crowd with fire department treasurer
Bob Ruby and Westminster Police Chief Jeff Spaulding – who was busy
coordinating crowd control with Captain Nancy Yeager.
“Happy New Year – be safe in 2012. We’re thankful for all
the community support last year and looking forward to even better things this
year,” said Cumberland.
Ruby, who also serves with the fire police, stopped in the
middle of his greeting to listen to his radio. “Happy… wait a minute. Well,
there goes the first call of the year, shrubs on fire from fireworks… Where was
I? Oh, Happy New Year.”
Utz noted that he was “overwhelmed with the turn-out. We
thought we might just get a few folks – a Westminster crowd - from the downtown
restaurants. But, families came from all over Carroll County,” said Utz.
Long after midnight, Utz, Graham, Westminster Street
Superintendent Larry Bloom, Westminster Administrator of Economic Development
Stan Ruchlewicz and his wife, Pat, waited patiently to dismantle the flag and
lights while families lined-up to have their pictures taken with the “2012”
display.
Ruchlewicz was all smiles as he and his wife clicked-away
with cameras handed to them. “Great turn out for a first time event,” said
Ruchlewicz, a seasoned urban planner and veteran of helping putting together many
events over the years. “Especially for a family-centered event at midnight…”
Mike Johnson, from Westminster, was also pleased with the
event and added, “All traditions have to start somewhere…” as he surveyed the
families having their pictures taken.
Bloom, who is also in charge of the city’s snow clearing
operations, was glad for good weather. “This weather was great for a good turn
out,” said Bloom as he began to unplug the lights.
“This was awesome,” Graham kept saying to no one in
particular. “Just awesome that so many families came out. It’s good to have a
local community event for families right here in Carroll County.”
