MOAS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ANDREW SANDALL, WAS PRESENTED WITH A CHECK FROM MOAS GUILD PAST PRESIDENT, JOAN HORNEFF AT THE GUILD’S ANNUAL MEETING IN MAY WHICH TOOK PLACE AT THE CICI AND HYATT BROWN MUSEUM OF ART AT MOAS.
Dear friends, It is hard to believe that summer is already here at the Museum of Arts & Sciences! At the Museum, that always means lots of ANDREW SANDALL energy around the building. Our visitor numbers increase and Summer Learning Institute students can be found all over the campus working in their classes. This year we will be welcoming summer visitors and students to the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art for the first time. I am looking forward to hearing their reaction. So far, people seem to love the building now that they can see the inside. They have found so much to explore and the artwork contained has provoked many discussions. The early summer is always an important time for us at the Museum as the staff attends a number of grant hearings and review panels, each of which provides us with vital operating support dollars. These meetings bring together the entire cultural community of Volusia County and are always a great way to meet colleagues from other museums, historic sites, performing arts groups and even festivals. What always strikes me the most is the diversity of cultural organizations that we have in our region. There really is something for everyone. This year the great news was that the field for these grants was stronger than ever with most groups reporting an increase
in attendance, participation and strong public support for the work that they do. I am proud to be leading an organization that is at the forefront of the local cultural community and that is helping our region stand out as a growing market for arts and cultural tourism. The work of our partners in the arts and culture community give both the locals and tourists alike a wide variety of high quality cultural options to experience. It is so heartening to see the sector as a whole bounce back so strongly from the dark days of a few years ago. One of the grant meetings that I attended was for the Volusia County ECHO program, which has been generous in supporting many of our previous construction projects at the Museum. I am very pleased to report that our latest application was approved. We should begin work on the new entrance lobby to the Museum in early 2016. The work will be funded by the Volusia County ECHO program, the Museum, and a very generous donation from our longtime friends and supporters, Elaine and Dr. Thurman Gillespy. Once the lobby is completed, we will have undertaken five construction projects over the course of five years, totaling a cost of nearly $23 million dollars. All of this work has really changed the face of the Museum of Arts & Sciences, truly bringing us into the 21st century. With the rebuilt and reconfigured West Wing scheduled to open in just a few months and this exciting new lobby addition coming a year later, it is an incredibly exciting time to be here at the Museum. We cannot wait to share it all with you!

Volunteer of the Quarter Mary Minnis Mary Minnis was born and bred in the centre of London, England. The first job that she held was at the American Embassy in Grosvenor Square as the secretary to the Ordnance Colonel. She later married her husband, Bert, who also worked for the Embassy. Their jobs moved them to various places such as Washington D.C., Philadelphia and Daytona Beach. While her husband was working for General Electric in Daytona Beach, she received a phone call one day from Jackie Harrison who was organizing a Guild for the Museum of Arts & Sciences, which at this time was a Quonset hut on White Street. The Guild was organized and Mary became the first Recording Secretary. When her husband retired, they continued 6 ARTS ARTS&&SCIENCES SCIENCESMAGAZINE MAGAZINE
their travels throughout the world. Some of the most exotic places they visited included King Tut’s Tomb, which is now closed to visitors, riding horses down the canyons to see the Lost City of Petra, and Antarctica. Now, Mary is a volunteer at the admissions desk at the Museum of Arts & Sciences where she has been volunteering for over five years. Recently, the Museum adopted a new touch screen, computer based cash register. Mary has embraced the new technology and has become very fond of the new system. She enjoys the people that she works with and the guests that she meets each day.

A Unique Look
at Local History Often local history and culture is under-taught and underappreciated in today’s educational system. Past events, activities, people, and places inform us who we are by reminding us of who we once were. One of the great aspects of the collection in the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art at the Museum of Arts & Sciences is its dedication to local history and the artists who made Volusia County their home, or at least drew inspiration from it for their artwork. These beautiful and important local works of art inspire us to be proud of our local heritage and our place in the world.

Sugar Mill Ruins at Bulow Plantation In the painting by Arrah Lee Gaul, Sugar Mill Ruins at Bulow Plantation (ca. 1930), the artist depicts an oil painting showing the remnants of the old historic plantation. Gaul painted all over the world from China to Florida, and visited the state between 1920 and 1964. A bright color palette and broad-brush strokes dominate the work but she does not actually show you the large coquina ruins. Instead she depicts a romantic view of sugar vats, a cannon, a Spanish anchor and heavy metal chains with the blue waters of Bulow Creek barely visible in the background. Bright flowery foliage, classic cabbage palms and the suggestion of a once historical place is the focus of this local scene. Many historians and artists during this time period believed incorrectly that these ruins were once the vestiges of a Spanish Mission. This may explain the romantic addition of the large Spanish anchor and cannon. If you have never been to Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park, it is a must-see day trip to explore the most amazing archaeological ruins in the state. Situated on Bulow Creek and the Volusia and Flagler County line, this amazing historical place was once the largest slave plantation in Florida. Owned and operated by the Bulow Family out of Charleston, it produced sugar cane, molasses, indigo and other agricultural products that would
be shipped out of Ponce Inlet to markets north and to the Caribbean. Charles William Bulow purchased 4,675 acres from John Russell in 1821 for $9,944.50. Russell originally acquired the property as a Spanish land grant holder. After William passed away and was buried in the Huguenot cemetery in St. Augustine, his son took over the plantation and made it one of the most profitable ventures in East Florida.

The events at Bulow were many, beginning with the arrival of esteemed guest, John James Audubon, who spent time at the Bulow Plantation. The famous naturalist wrote fondly of his time at Bulowville and he used it as a base to document local birds. In particular he was interested in the Brown Pelican. In one of his paintings, you can actually see the plantation in the background. During the 2nd Seminole War of 1835,
Bulow was sympathetic to the Seminole cause. James Ormond III arrived as a member of the militia known as the “Mosquito Roarers” under the command of Major B.A. Putnam. The “Roarers” imprisoned the hostile John Bulow on his own plantation as they fortified his home into a barricade. Preparing to fight and protect property against the Seminole Indians during the Second Seminole War which had just erupted, the “Mosquito Roarers” conducted a mission
to the Dunlawton Plantation in current day Port Orange. They engaged the Seminoles in a battle known as the “Battle of Dunlawton”. After the battle, Bulow Plantation was evacuated, including its owner John Bulow. On January 31, 1836 the Seminole’s burned the plantation and John Bulow died a few year later. Continued on page 12.
Club and even the DeLand High School. In his watercolor painting, titled Sampson Hall at Stetson University, 1993, Messersmith captures the University's famous library known originally as Carnegie Hall. The 1908 conservative neo-classical building was designed by John Klutho, the first Florida architect to be admitted to the American Institute of Architects. Steel magnate and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie gave $40,000 for its construction with a matching gift of an equal amount from John B. Stetson. It was later renamed Sampson Hall after a university trustee named C.T. Sampson donated $20,000 for an endowment. The Carnegie Library was changed to Sampson Library and was the first full time library in the Florida University system.
Sampson Hall at Stetson University It is always interesting to read about the unusual lives of the artists from the Cici and Hyatt Brown Collection. Fred Lawrence Messersmith, a native of Ohio, is one artist with a very interesting life story. He became a Second Lieutenant in the army and was stationed in Western Kansas at Liberal Army Air Field, which is now a municipal airport. He became a flight instructor for the heavy bomber known as Liberator B-24, used by every branch of the armed forces. After World War II,
he graduated with a master’s degree in art from Ohio Wesleyan University. He exhibited his art in shows throughout New York, London, Florence at the Ringling Museum of Art, in Sarasota. In 1959, Messersmith moved his family to DeLand, Florida where he took a position as chair of the art department at Stetson University. He painted many local landmarks such as the Ponce Inlet Light House, golf scenes at the DeLand Country
In this beautiful watercolor of the historic building, Messersmith captures the classical style building framed in an idyllic park-like setting showing a clear path to the front entrance of the library where the motto "Education is Power" is depicted above the iconic columns. Messersmith reminds us of an insight at least four centuries old, formulated by philosopher Francis Bacon during the Enlightenment that: “Knowledge is Power!” The next time you are in DeLand, take a drive through the campus and see this beautiful and historic building.
Sopotnick’s Tavern Many people have probably driven past the old deep woods tavern known as Sopotnicks with little regard to its history. Now known locally as the Cabbage Patch, it has become a mecca for visiting bikers. In 1937, daredevils on motorcycles flocked in the spring to scream down the hard packed sand beaches at the inaugural Daytona 200. Sopotnick’s Corner, built in 1936 by Ronald Luznar, has become one of the most famous biker establishments in the world. It was rare for bars and other drinking establishments to cater to bikers. Near the fields where the local farmers grew cabbage, bikers flocked to the establishment because of its open door policy. Once a place for rough and tumble bikers, it has mellowed over the years and is even more famous now for its yearly salacious coleslaw wrestling event. A local artist from Daytona Beach and University of Florida Graduate, Don W. Emery (1947-1992) painted this realistic depiction of the venerable Sopotnick’s in 1960 titled, Sopotnick’s Tavern (ca. 1960). The amazing fact is it looks the same today as it did when it was painted fifty-five years ago. No additions, 12 ARTS & SCIENCES MAGAZINE
color changes, or alterations to the surrounding environment have occurred. The classic white color with black trim still dominates the structure today. Emery places a blue pickup truck in the parking lot. If you look closely at the painting, the stop sign shows evidence of two distinct bullet holes, obviously from someone’s wild night out in Samsula.
Life on the River Harry Louise Freund (1905-1999) was employed as a Works Progress Association painter and became a specialist in murals and American Scene painting, creating images on canvas showing typical American life and landscape in a naturalistic and descriptive style. In 1949, Freund became a professor at Stetson University and taught there until 1967. In his painting titled, Life on the River (ca. 1960), he shows us a dark and mysterious St. John’s River. Two fishermen, framed by a red marker and wood pylon, are departing a dock headed out for a day of fishing on the north flowing river. Most likely these fishermen had high hopes of capturing one of Florida’s most popular freshwater game fish, the Largemouth Bass. Bass live in almost every body of fresh water. They also occupy brackish to freshwater habitats, including upper estuaries, rivers, lakes, reservoirs and ponds. The Largemouth Bass is commonly 12 inches but can grow as large as 24 inches. The St. John’s River has historically been the bass fishing capital of Florida.
The collection at the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art includes the work of many artists inspired by Volusia County. These pieces are an important part of the collection because they are not only images of our history, but reinforce the uniqueness of our area. They showcase cultural history, local customs, and the social diversity of our county, as well as allow the viewer to develop a new appreciation of the landscapes and historical buildings. They show the social context of a community which is an essential foundation for developing and building sense of place.
St. Paul’s Catholic Church, Daytona Beach, FL German born artist Dr. Henry Eugene Fritz (1875-1956) studied in Germany and at Columbia University in New York City where he received a Doctorate in Pedagogy. During his lifetime he exhibited in numerous locations including New York City and Sarasota. He painted landscapes and city scenes in New England, the Carolinas, and Florida. In one of his Florida visits just after his retirement in 1940, he painted St. Paul’s Catholic Church, Daytona, Florida (ca. 1940). Daytona Beach's first Catholics moved to
the area in 1881 and celebrated mass in private homes. A few times a year, priests traveled from DeLand and Daytona and the area became a mission of St. Teresa Church in Titusville in 1886. The Rev. John F. O’Boyle became the first resident priest in Daytona Beach in 1895. In 1925, the Rev. William J. Mullally came to Daytona and built the only Catholic school between St. Augustine and Palm Beach. When the mission revival church was built in 1927, it was the tallest building on the mainland and was the first building to have central heat and air.

"The Burgoyne House", a watercolor painting by Sandra DeArmas Lloyd , is located in the Volusia County Gallery of the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art at the Museum of Arts & Sciences. Charles Grover Burgoyne was born on January 3, 1847, in Fairmont, Virginia, now Fairmont, West Virginia. He fought in the Civil War and after the war, arrived in New York City with 5 cents in his pocket. In 1875, he established the Burgoyne printing business there and through hard work, he was extremely successful. Burgoyne had many employees in his business, including Mary MacCauley, a proofreader, who he married. The painting of the Burgoyne House takes us back in time when Daytona, which became Daytona Beach in 1926, was a small quaint city of fewer than 2,000 people. Charles and Mary Burgoyne traveled here in 1894 from New York City by way of the new Henry Flagler railroad. They fell in love with the city and decided that it was where they would retire. The first house that they had built was a large distinctive beach house with a wonderful ocean view at the corner of Broadway and Atlantic Avenue. In 1896, they began construction on their second Daytona house located on the mainland. This was a Queen Anne style mansion and was the largest and grandest home in the city. The property included most of the block of North Beach Street from Bay Street to Volusia Avenue, now known as International Speedway Boulevard, and Palmetto Avenue. The home was designed by Sumner Hale Gove, a prominent local architect, and was built by
Burgoyne had an outstanding public spirit and a good heart. He paid for all of the street lighting at night for the protection of commuters and contributed money for many civic improvements G.H. Bliven. It was constructed of wood and coquina. Sumner Hale Gove owned a coquina rock quarry and used this long lasting stone in many of the houses he designed. The mansion was decorated with turrets and stained glass windows and locals called it "The Castle". A large artesian well was drilled and a water tower constructed. A bog wall was built along the perimeter at the suggestion of Mr. Gove as Charles Burgoyne had a fear of snakes. The small pieces of rock for the wall’s construction were gathered from the open area west of Daytona, now known as Nova Road, and brought to the construction site by mules and wagons. There were two gates in the wall, one facing Beach Street, and the other facing Palmetto Avenue. The inside of the mansion was furnished with the finest Victorian furniture, original oil paintings, Persian carpets, Tiffany lamps, and elaborate silver tableware. Ornately carved woodwork was used throughout the house. The downstairs walls and ceilings were decorated with murals painted by an Italian artist. In 1897, Charles Burgoyne was elected Mayor of Daytona. He was a lifelong member of the Daytona Elks Lodge, to whom he donated the life size elk statue which was prominently displayed in front of the Elks Lodge on Ridgewood Avenue until recently. He also was a member of the Masonic Halifax Lodge #81. The Burgoynes would host members of both organizations at their home. Although Mary and Charles had no children during their marriage, they had

a great love of children. They contributed the funds to provide every student with milk daily. Each year, the grounds of their home would be alive with the laughter of the local boys and girls attending an annual party. The day would include games, cake and ice cream. Each Christmas all of the school children would receive a box of Whitman's Chocolates as a gift from the Burgoynes. In 1898, Charles had a 65 foot yacht built which had a glassed-in cabin and twin motors. Charles named it "Sweetheart" in honor of his wife. He became a member of the Halifax River Yacht Club and was elected Commodore in 1904. After the election, he was frequently addressed as "Commodore Burgoyne". There were many parties on the yacht as well as frequent Sunday cruises with friends. The yacht, moored at his dock and large boathouse with colorful flags in front of his home, would be decorated every holiday and many of the town folk were invited for boat rides. The Burgoynes were one of the most prominent families of Daytona. They entertained lavishly, hosting many distinguished guests, such as William K. Vanderbilt, William Jennings Bryan, Mr. Taft, a celebrated organist who was the brother of President Taft, as well as many others. In 1912, Charles and Mary had a large music room built on the north wing of the mansion and installed a Wurlitzer pipe organ for their friends' entertainment. Charles Burgoyne could not read or play music, however, the organ could be played as a standard console or

by paper rolls like a player piano. Burgoyne had an outstanding public spirit and a good heart. He paid for all of the street lighting at night for the protection of commuters and contributed money for many civic improvements. In 1914, he built a lighted 10 foot wide paved walkway, the Burgoyne Esplanade, which stretched from Orange Avenue to Bay Street. He has the Casino Burgoyne, a music casino, not a gambling casino, erected on 17,000 square feet of land on the south end of the Esplanade and donated both the Casino and the Esplanade to the city. He also paid for a park pavilion on the Esplanade and free professional concerts for the public that were held at the mansion. On March 31, 1916, Charles Burgoyne suffered a fatal heart attack on the couch of his living room in the mansion. He is buried in a large impressive plot in the Pinewood Cemetery on Main Street in Daytona. Mary Burgoyne had a bronze bust of Charles placed near the Burgoyne Casino. The grieving Mary Burgoyne lived in seclusion in the mansion for 25 years until she sold the property. In January, 1941, she was moved from the mansion into her nephew's apartment complex, the Touraine Court Apartments on beachside, with two long time servants. The mansion, wall, and all of the outbuildings were demolished and removed, and the property was developed and leased out to 20 commercial businesses. Mary Burgoyne died of pneumonia on February 8, 1944. She is buried in Pinewood Cemetery, next to Charles Burgoyne.

While the SJMO is not the only jazz orchestra in America, it is unique. As the only federally-chartered jazz orchestra, it enjoys a position of prestige and importance. As the only such ensemble resident at a museum (one with vast holdings of jazz music and history), it is in a unique position to make the jazz legacy come alive. The Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra educates the public about the history and development of jazz as an art form and means of entertainment. It promotes a greater appreciation for jazz as a valuable American treasure by performing jazz masterworks, and presenting educational activities that inform the public of the character of this music.

About The Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra In 1990, the U.S. Congress, recognizing the importance of jazz in American culture, authorized the establishment of the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra (SJMO). As the national jazz orchestra, the SJMO perpetuates some of the greatest music that jazz has created. Through its 24 years, the orchestra has distinguished itself as one of the crown jewels of the Smithsonian — itself a pre-eminent national treasure.
The National Museum of American History (NMAH) strives to tell the nation’s story in all of its diversity. One of the richest of these is the story of jazz—the most significant music to emerge in the United States and a golden thread that weaves together African, European, Latin, and world music traditions. The Smithsonian operates the world’s most comprehensive set of jazz programs. The Museum is home to 100,000 pages of unpublished music composed by Duke Ellington, the Benny Carter collection, Ella Fitzgerald's famous red dress, Dizzy Gillespie's angled trumpet, Buddy Rich’s Drum set, Benny Goodman's clarinet, the manuscript for John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme, and many other treasures.

OVER AND OUT
BY: SETH MAYO, CURATOR OF ASTRONOMY
Witness the Last Generation of Planetarium Technology: the MS-10 Star Projector When it was finally time to close the old Planetarium in March of 2014, we had to make a big decision about the future of the 26 year-old star projector which had dominated the middle of the domed theater. The many gears, intricate light fixtures, and endless network of wires that composed the weathered star projector (known as the MS-10) was crafted by the Japanese electronics company Minolta (now Konica Minolta). The projector was purchased by the Volusia County School District in 1988 at the cool price of $418,000 - granting the Museum the ability to present the celestial wonders of the night sky to countless audiences.
General Electric (GE) Volunteers standing behind MS-10 from left to right: David Huggins, Lew Dewitt, Roy DeBolt, Jim Kotas (Chairman of the local chapter of GE Volunteers) Opposite: The new home for the old analog star projector in the Planetarium Lobby.
28 ARTS & SCIENCES MAGAZINE
Before the closing of the old Planetarium, we had already set into motion the implementation of an alldigital system for the new facility which has transformed the show experience dramatically. Aside from the significant advantage of displaying the entire universe with a digital system, it was not feasible to re-use the old analog machine due to the extensive repair that would have been required along with a very costly reinstallation. The option to sell the MS-10 was also not worthwhile since its value by 2014 had substantially diminished, and the machine was technically on the inventory of Volusia County Schools and therefore not owned by the Museum.
In light of all this, it was decided that the best option would be to do what the Museum does best: preserve and exhibit the MS-10 as a technological artifact to be remembered as a fundamental tool for our educational mission. To make this a reality, we proposed the idea to the Volusia County School District, who graciously transferred ownership of the MS-10 to the Museum. We then enlisted the mechanical expertise of the General Electric (GE) Volunteers – a group of dedicated retired engineers who, through grants and many volunteer hours, have built many of our hands-on exhibits in the Charles and Linda Williams Children’s Museum. (continued on pg. 30)
In April of 2014, a team from the GE Volunteers spent part of a day dismantling the MS-10 by cutting conduits and wires and determining the plan of action for lifting the projector off its secure base. The Volunteers worked with Hall Construction Co., Inc. of Daytona Beach – the firm that built the new Planetarium facility – to bring in a forklift for the move. The MS-10 was laid onto a temporary custom-built cart that actually bowed slightly, revealing the massive weight of the projector – at least 400 pounds! Just shy of a year after it was moved from the old facility, the MS-10 was placed in its new home inside the expansive Planetarium lobby last March in a bittersweet moment. The GE Volunteers, with support again from Hall Construction, as well as FABCO Steel, designed and built an impressively secure platform and structure for the hefty projector. General Electric (GE) Volunteer, Dennis Montgomery, helps guide the projector down to its new base. Below: The MS-10 being lifted from its original base in the old Planetarium.

Thanks to these great organizations, the MS-10 now stands as a mechanical sculpture for guests to take an upclose look. Next time you come see a Planetarium show, make sure you stop by the projector stand to witness what was part of the last generation of Planetarium technology.
