City of City Manager’s Office 121 W. Calhoun Street Terry Willcockson Woodstock, Illinois 60098 Grant Writer 815/338-4300 ext. 11128 fax 815/334-2269 [email protected] www.woodstockil.gov Memo To: Roscoe Stelford, City Manager From: Terry Willcockson, Grant Writer Date: February 10, 2015 Re: Chester Gould Day Proclamation The February 17, 2015 City Council Agenda includes a Proclamation designating Sunday, February 22, 2015 as CHESTER GOULD DAY in Woodstock. As City Council is certainly aware, Chester Gould is the creator of the world-renown Dick Tracy comic strip who lived and worked in Woodstock for almost 50 years, until his passing in 1985 at the age of 84. During this time, Mr. Gould’s enormous contributions to the community prompted the founding of the Chester Gould-Dick Tracy Museum, as well as the Dick Tracy Days annual summer parade. While no longer quite so prevalent, Mr. Gould’s lasting impact on bringing community pride and joy to the residents of Woodstock cannot be overstated. Since 2007, a local family, Tom Firak and his sons John and Steve, have been diligently researching the life and accomplishments of Chester Gould. Both John and Steve are Film/Video graduates of Columbia College Chicago; John continued his education, obtaining a Master’s degree from Northeastern University with the goal of teaching, while Steve pursued developing his talents by launching his own video/audio company, Ahoj Productions. With the Museum Board’s and Gould family’s full cooperation and approval, the Firaks have conducted interviews, compiled photographs and memorabilia, and shot and edited video footage to create a feature length documentary CHESTER GOULD: AN AMERICAN ORIGINAL. Their efforts were rewarded recently with the announcement that this film will be broadcast to the Chicagoland region on WTTW-Channel 11 on Sunday, February 22, 2015 at 3:00pm. In recognition and support of this wonderful effort, and the lasting positives benefiting the Woodstock community as a result of the film’s viewing for decades to come, the City Administration is proposing the date of the film’s premiere be designated CHESTER GOULD DAY in Woodstock. In addition, the City Administration and Woodstock Celebrates Inc. are partnering to help the Firaks, along with colleagues, friends and family of Mr. Gould, to celebrate this esteemed occasion with a private showing and reception at Stage Left Café, an event to which the City Council is graciously invited. PROCLAMATION Honoring CHESTER GOULD DAY WHEREAS, the fictional detective Dick Tracy, and the comic strip heralding his crime stopping adventures, are an iconic part of American culture, recognized around the world; and WHEREAS, Dick Tracy’s creator, the brilliant cartoonist Chester Gould, lived most of his life in Woodstock, commuting to Chicago daily for years while employed by the Chicago Tribune; and WHEREAS, with a vivid imagination for criminal appearances and actions, Chester Gould offered readers such villainous protagonists as Flattop, Pruneface, Shaky and Mumbles, along with socially memorable characters such as Tess Trueheart, Gravel Gertie and B.O. Plenty; and WHEREAS, through his characters’ pointed representations of good and evil, Chester Gould promoted the most positive moral and ethical values of his era, when bravery, honesty and hard work were justly rewarded, and greed, deceit and larceny were righteously punished; and WHEREAS, during the 46 years Chester Gould created this colorful strip, 1931-1977, society was offered an uncanny glimpse into future possibilities, with devices like Tracy’s two-way wrist radio, caller ID and the magnetic air car depicting technology well before its time; and WHEREAS, aided by his devoted daughter, Jean Gould O’Connell, Chester Gould’s followers created the Chester Gould-Dick Tracy Museum, formerly housed in the Old Courthouse on the Square and continuing as a virtual museum online, as well as the Dick Tracy Days Parade, a Woodstock summer highlight for many years, further celebrating Dick Tracy’s popularity and attracting thousands of visitors to enjoy Woodstock, and; WHEREAS, with the museum board’s and family’s approval, a feature length documentary Chester Gould: An American Original has been professionally produced through the videographic talents of residents Tom Firak and sons Steve and John, Film/Video graduates of Columbia College Chicago, to be broadcast on WTTW-Channel 11 and viewed in Woodstock on February 22, 2015, ensuring Chester Gould’s legacy lives on for generations to come. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED that the City Council of the City of Woodstock, on behalf of all citizens of Woodstock, wishes to proclaim February 22, 2015 as CHESTER GOULD DAY in Woodstock, and to congratulate and commend the Firak family for their creative efforts to commemorate on film Chester Gould’s enduring importance to Woodstock and to the world. APPROVED and ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Woodstock, McHenry County, this 17th day of February, 2015. ______________________________________ Michael Turner, Mayor Pro Tem Attest: ______________________________ Arleen Quinn, City Clerk MINUTES WOODSTOCK CITY COUNCIL February 3, 2015 City Council Chambers The regular meeting of the Woodstock City Council was called to order at 7:00 PM by Mayor Pro-Tem Mike Turner on Tuesday, February 03, 2015 in Council Chambers at City Hall.

  • "Command Performance"
    “Command Performance” (Episode No. 21)—Bob Hope, Master of Ceremonies (July 7, 1942) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Cary O’Dell Bob Hope Soldiers line up for a “Command Performance” performance Radio’s unique “Command Performance” series was the brainchild of producer Louis G. Cowan. Cowan had joined the radio division of the US War Department just prior to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. With the commencement of the war though, Cowan found his job suddenly changed: rather than producing shows for civilians, he now found himself charged with creating programs for thousands of new servicemen stationed all around the globe. So he happened upon an idea. Many new members of the armed forces were no doubt having to quickly and awkwardly adjust to their new regimented military existence, to the myriad of commands and orders they now had to obey. What would happen if, instead of taking commands, they were allowed to give them, at least in terms of entertainment? Similar in nature to TV’s later “You Asked For It!,” Cowan’s “Command Performance” would solicit requests from servicemen the world over and ask them what they wanted to hear over the air. Cowan and his radio staff would then do their best to make it happen for them. From the beginning, to show their support for the troops, performers of all types (recruited via letters and ads in “Variety”) were generous with their time and talents. And both CBS and NBC donated their studios and recording facilities to the production. Even the major unions and show business guilds relaxed their rules in order to do these shows for the war effort (with the caveat that the shows be heard only by military personnel).

  • {PDF EPUB} Dick Tracy the Thirties Tommy Guns and Hard Times by Chester Gould Chester Gould
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Dick Tracy the Thirties Tommy Guns and Hard Times by Chester Gould Chester Gould. Chester Gould is the creator of 'Dick Tracy' (1931), the world's most famous detective since 'Sherlock Holmes'. For 46 years, Gould captivated newspaper readers with his clever mix of suspense, grotesque villains, explicit violence, melodrama and well-documented use of scientific research methods. 'Dick Tracy' was the first newspaper comic strip with a more realistic approach. Its hard-boiled portrayal of violence and well- documented depiction of actual crime-investigating methods made it one of the most popular and influential comics of all time. Gould managed to capture the zeitgeist of the 1930s and 1940s and inspired many film noir stories set in the same time period. He was also a memorable caricaturist, particularly when creating his unforgettable ugly gangsters. Gould proved that comics could tell more mature stories with cliffhangers that kept readers looking out for the next episode. Countless daily, weekly and monthly serialized comics series have followed his path since. Early life and career Gould wasn't destined to become a newspaper cartoonist, though. He was born in 1900 in Pawnee, Oklahoma. His family was descended from original 19th century settlers in Oklahoma. His father was in the printing business, but didn't support his son's artistic ambitions. Among Chet's earliest art jobs were sign and window painting. The magazine The American Boy published his first cartoon during World War I, and he subsequently made editorial cartoons for the Tulsa Democrat and sports cartoons for the Daily Oklahoman.

  • [52] Sunday 10 June 1945 14 AA Command APO 322, Frisco
    [52] Sunday 10 June 1945 14 AA Command APO 322, Frisco Sweetheart; Here I am at the end of a fairly profitable day. Profitable in the matter of work accomplished that is. I did all the layout work for the lettering on the cover of the booklet we’re working on in the office. This afternoon I brought some drafting tools to the tent and then worked the biggest part of the afternoon on a new project I’m started on. I’ll let you know what it is when I finish it and see how it comes out. I think you will agree that it will be one of my best pieces of work till now. That’s all I can say. I downed a few beers this afternoon and evening and found that after three beers I was getting fairly woozy. I just can’t take it anymore. The beer was cold though and this made it quite palatable even though it was Hyde Park beer, not one of the world’s best brews. A fellow who works in the officers mess has some ice in a pail and since Kettler is a 2. good friend of his we all had out beer chilled. Later in the afternoon I knocked off working for a while and listened to Command Performance. Today it consisted of the operetta “The Wedding of Dick Tracy”. The main characters were: Dick Tracy – Bing Crosby Tess Trueheart – Bob Hope Chief of Police – Jerry Colonna Vitamin Flintheart – Frank Morgan Snowflake – Judy Garland Shaky – Frank Sinatra The Mole – Jimmy Durante The Summer Sisters – The Andews Sisters Gravel Gertie – Cass Daley You can imagine from this lineup what kind of program it was.
