CLAYTON, N.Y. (AP) – The Antique Boat Museum on the St. Lawrence River staged its 50th annual show and auction over the weekend.
The Watertown Daily Times reports that the museum’s first boat show in 1965 featured 18 antique boats and a small exhibition. Approximately 125 antique boats took part in the weekend’s festivities at the museum in Clayton, in the Thousand Islands region along the Canadian border.
In the early 1970s, a permanent museum was constructed to host the annual boat show. It was called the 1000 Islands Shipyard Museum. But in 1990, its name was changed to the Antique Boat Museum.
It features more than 300 preserved boats and thousands of recreational boating artifacts.
The museum’s Raceboat Regatta will take place this coming weekend.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. (AP) – After 75 years, a little-known music publishing business is still chugging along in a nearly forgotten former elementary school in the hills of northern Williamstown.
Housed inside the classrooms and hallways of what used to be Broad Brook Elementary School on White Oaks Road – now the home of Broude Brothers Ltd. – are hundreds of thousands of classical musical scores, many of them published in the mid-to-early 1900s. Some of them rare, some of them facsimiles of the original first editions, and almost all of them are not available digitally elsewhere.
Ronald Broude isn’t sure how many different pieces of music are stored here.
“I wouldn’t even want to try and guess,” he said.
Broude is president of the firm, although he said it’s a “glorified,” title as he pitches in just about everywhere, including driving the delivery truck.
And since there are few dealers in these types of publications, the old school building has become a repository of musical history and knowledge, cataloged and stacked from floor to ceiling, waiting for someone somewhere to seek out that knowledge, possibly to make it audible again.
“This is a last stronghold of paper – we are paper people and book people,” Broude said.
With only a simple website and just 10 employees, Broude Brothers Ltd., publishes, sells and rents these often obscure, sometimes rare classical musical scores, and does not take orders over the Internet. They do all their business by phone. Publications are engraved and edited here as well. As a result, the sales staff has to have extensive knowledge of the music publishing business and all the different editions of all the symphonies by all the composers, and all the different instrument parts of the different scores.
“This is probably the only place in the country you can find any volume listed in the Musica Britannica that you might need,” said Broude, referring to the authoritative national collection of British music.
The Broude Trust, a nonprofit, is also operated out of the former school and publishes specialty collector’s volumes called critical editions. They cover aspects of specific composers’ works for particular instruments and contain a wealth of historical data about the music – where it has been played and by whom, and when and how it may have been changed over the years for different performances.
It is a daily, intensive practice of musicology, says Broude, who is the son and nephew of the two brothers who founded the business in 1929 on 57th Street in New York, across from Carnegie Hall.
The Broude brothers set up a little shop for used books of music, which soon became a mecca for the orchestral musician community. Having a flare for finding rare copies of music, they soon began supplying musicians and orchestras with particular pieces they needed, and later began publishing such scores.
In 1982, a few years after Broad Brook Elementary had closed down, the company bought the 50-year old school building for $750,000, and moved the operation from New York to Williamstown over the next several years.
A member of the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association, Broude said the operation hearkens back to another time.
“We are very much like an 18th-century music shop – we do a bit of everything,” he said.
Their customers are professors, orchestra librarians, colleges, conductors, collectors and musicians – roughly 3,500 of them on the books. As such, Broude Brothers is a hidden gem in the Berkshire County cultural economy.
Tanglewood has dealt with Broude Brothers a few times as well.
“A few years ago,” Broude said, “they needed something that evening, and we had it for them.”
Broude has few worries about the future of his business, as what he sells has been popular for hundreds of years.
“It’s not a question of having something new to sell every year, but having something that’s sold well throughout the years,” he said. “Beethoven ain’t going to go out of fashion.”

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) – Authorities say a tractor-trailer driver has died after he crashed into Tony Packo’s, the Ohio hot dog eatery made famous on M-A-S-H.
Police are still investigating the crash. No one was inside the restaurant at the time.
Toledo Fire Lt. Matthew Hertzfeld says firefighters were dispatched to the scene at about 7:15 a.m. Friday. He says the driver had to be extricated from the vehicle. The man’s name has not been released.
Hertzfeld says the restaurant has significant structural damage to its front and will have to be stabilized.
Tony Packo’s became a household name in the 1970s when actor Jamie Farr portrayed a homesick U.S. soldier in the Korean War who longed for Packo’s hot dogs.
The original Packo’s remains a tourist destination and is decorated with M-A-S-H memorabilia.

NEW YORK (LAPRS) – Graceland is hallowed ground, not only to those who revere the memory of the man who made it famous – American icon Elvis Presley – but also to millions of fans worldwide who still think of Presley as the one and only “King of Rock and Roll.” Interest in authenticated items that belonged to the superstar entertainer, or were worn by him onstage, has never waned. This has led to an extraordinary, first-time event: the Aug. 14, 2014 auction of a famous Elvis collection, to be held on the grounds of Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.
Immediately after Graceland Authenticated’s marketing team confirmed that LiveAuctioneers had been chosen to provide Internet live-bidding services for the auction, the Manhattan-based company started formulating a plan that would combine a trip to Graceland with the formal launch of its new LiveAuctioneers YouTube channel .
A three-person video crew selected by executive producer and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Lilibet Foster traveled to Graceland, where they toured the 1939 mansion’s rooms and grounds, and also viewed items from the auction, many of which were consigned by Australian super-fan Greg Page. (Note: None of the auction items are from the Graceland Archives, which remain the property of Lisa Marie Presley.)
The exciting Graceland videos produced for LiveAuctioneers’ YouTube channel offer viewers a privileged look at highlights to be sold in the Aug. 14 Auction at Graceland.
“During our video team’s visit to Graceland, they interviewed Angie Marchese, who is Director of Archives at Graceland,” said Foster. “Angie spoke about the history and backstories of several key items in the auction – a Tupelo, Mississippi library card with the earliest known Elvis signature, a 1975 Martin D-28 guitar that Elvis gave to one of his bodyguards, Elvis’ signed military-leave pass from when he was stationed with the US Army in Germany, and stage-worn jewelry, including a fabulous gold, diamond and ruby lion pendant. The pendant was one of Elvis’ favorite pieces of jewelry. He wore it during a 1970 visit to The White House, when he met President Nixon.”
Each item in the auction is accompanied by a letter of authenticity issued by Graceland Authenticated.
Over the next two weeks, several additional videos from Graceland will be accessible via LiveAuctioneers’ YouTube channel. Among the topics to be featured are:
• A Private Tour of Graceland – LiveAuctioneers’ team tours the fabled interior of the white-columned mansion Elvis called home, including a visit to the Hawaiian-themed Jungle Room, where Elvis relaxed and enjoyed the company of family and friends; and the Racquetball Building, which is filled with Elvis’ many awards and beautifully showcased stage outfits.
• Elvis’ Cars & Motorcycles – Auction Tip: See Lot 62, the 1977 maroon and silver Cadillac Seville V-8 Automatic that was the last personal car Presley purchased for personal use and the last Cadillac he ever drove)
“If you’re an Elvis fan – and who isn’t – you’ll love the YouTube videos we’ve prepared from our team’s visit to Graceland. It’s a sneak peek at some amazing artifacts and an exploration of the Graceland mansion with the Graceland staff,” said Julian R. Ellison, CEO of LiveAuctioneers.
Ellison added, “I can think of no better way to launch our YouTube channel than through our coverage of the preview and events leading up to the Auction at Graceland. Even today, almost 37 years after his passing, Elvis continues to capture the imagination of fans everywhere. He is an American institution, and LiveAuctioneers is deeply honored to have been chosen by Elvis Presley Enterprises to work with them as a marketing partner for their first-ever on-site auction.”
LiveAuctioneers’ YouTube channel is a professionally produced online entertainment resource whose current and soon-to-be-added shows include The Daily Bid, which focuses on fascinating auction discoveries and other auction-related topics; plus other regular shows about high-profile auction houses and headline-makers from the art, auction and collecting world.

PETERSBURG, Va. (AP) – The U.S. Postal Service is issuing a Civil War stamp depicting the 1864 Siege at Petersburg.
A dedication ceremony was conducted Wednesday at the Petersburg National Battlefield for the new stamp.
The ceremony was held near the site of an underground explosion that took place 150 years ago and created a huge depression in the earth. That led to the battle being named “Battle of the Crater.”
The stamp depicts the 22nd United States Colored Troops engaged in the June 15-18, 1864, assault on Petersburg. The Petersburg Campaign stamp is a reproduction of an 1892 painting by J. Andre Castaigne.
The stamp is part of the Postal Service’s commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, which claimed the lives of more than 620,000 soldiers.

EFFINGHAM, Ill. (AP) – If the walls of the old Effingham County courthouse museum could talk, they would tell of a rich local history. Delaine Donaldson and his group of tireless volunteers want to the give the historical structure a renewed voice, one that will preserve the county’s shared history for years to come.
“It is a grand history that we have to tell in Effingham County, and we are showcasing that,” said Donaldson.
After a lengthy battle to save the historical structure built in 1870-71, the courthouse reopened on Nov. 11, 2012 as a museum. Since that day, the Effingham County Cultural Center and Museum Association has showcased the transformation of the main floor from a functioning courthouse into a functioning museum.
“The thing that I have noticed is whenever people look at our museum, they say, ‘This is really nice,’” said Donaldson. “They say, ‘Who put this together for you,’ and we say, ‘This is all volunteer, we did it ourselves.’ People are amazed.”
First-floor features share the history of transportation through a large model train and roadway display; the prominent history of military service by area veterans; historical figures like Ada Kepley, who was the first woman in the country to earn a law degree; the 1949 St. Anthony’s Hospital fire; Effingham native George Bauer, who helped write the G.I. Bill; and many other stories and displays.
Donaldson and the 50 or so volunteers who make the operation of the museum possible have now set their sights on the second floor of the old courthouse. Donaldson hopes to repurpose what was originally the main courtroom into a meeting area to hold everything from class reunions to wedding receptions.
“We want to make that second floor a place where we can generate funds to run the courthouse,” said Donaldson. “From day one we have had people say, ‘My daughter is getting married. Can we have the wedding in the courthouse?’”
For the last several months, volunteers have been unearthing the original design of the second floor, which was renovated into office space for courthouse officials over the years. Much of the Formica and old carpet from the last major renovation in the 1960s has been removed to reveal the rustic stately beauty of the era.
“This is like archaeology for a building,” said Donaldson. “When we pulled up the carpeting, we could see the cut marks for the curves in the original flooring.”
With significant work needed in the space, Donaldson and fellow volunteer, Jim Lange, approached the Effingham City Council recently to request the city’s financial assistance for the project. Donaldson asked the council for $75,000 in assistance, which would be put primarily toward restrooms on the second floor.
During the council meeting discussion, Mayor Merv Gillenwater expressed optimism about the city’s assistance, but informed Donaldson that that amount of money wasn’t figured into this fiscal year’s budget. Commissioner Matt Hirtzel suggested a multiyear assistance package for the project, which would stretch the $75,000 over several years. The issue is being considered by the council and will come back at a future meeting for a vote.
Donaldson did inform the council that the museum is exhausting all possibilities to generate money for the project. The Effingham County Board pays the utility bills for the museum, which reach over $10,000 a year, and the museum is considering corporate sponsorship.
Ideally, ECCCMA would like to have the project completed by Christmas, but that “totally depends on the cash flow,” said Donaldson.
The expansive second floor is a step back in time and space. Completely open after the recent removal of a drop ceiling and office partitions, a large amount of work is clearly needed.
“We plan on putting the original courtroom back the way it was,” said Donaldson. “From historical records, people in the area were most proud of this space.”
Volunteer carpenters have rebuilt the raised area where the court proceedings were held, said Donaldson. He added that two old banisters, found by a volunteer, will help complete the look.
“We don’t have any pictures of how this looked,” said Donaldson.
Donaldson pointed to the cost of the banister posts, which were priced at $75 apiece for 150 of them, as an example of the cost of the building.
Other work includes repainting the tin ceiling throughout the second floor and refurbishing plasterwork in the dome, which was uncovered when the drop ceiling was removed. Donaldson said Dr. Ruben Boyajian has offered to paint murals of local historical scenes in the large domed area, which reaches to the peak of the three-story building. Hardwood flooring, fire safe doors, a side room renovation for a catering space and many other features are in the works. Donaldson said a contractor assessed the project before volunteers started on it, and the total cost to renovate the space was an estimated $350,000. He added that price will continually be reduced by the massive amount of volunteer hours.
“We are working diligently to showcase this area,” said Donaldson.
As part of his rationale for the city providing funds for the project, Donaldson pointed to the tourism dollars generated in Effingham by the existence of the museum. In 2013, 2,160 people from around the state, country and world visited the courthouse museum. Donaldson said about a third of those who visited didn’t sign the guestbook.
“We had about 3,000 visitors last year, and we are on track to meet that again this year,” he said, noting that mobile displays will be featured on the second floor for regular museum visitors. “People tell us they want to come back and see the museum again when the second floor is finished.”
For Donaldson, who taught history and sociology at Effingham High School for over 30 years, the incalculable hours he and other volunteers have put into the project are completely worthwhile.
“One of the things that sociologists look at is that in a lot of towns across America today, especially in towns along the interstate, is that they all have the same feel to them,” he said, calling the trend “Generica.”
“The thing that is very important is that we don’t do that. We aren’t a generic community. We are so much more than what sits along the interstate exits,” he said.
Having a strong sense of local history and community is also what creates value in locals’ minds.
“I taught sociology for many years, and the thing that I have found in terms of what attracts people to live in a community is that it doesn’t have a generic sense,” said Donaldson. “That when people leave the town, they have a sense they lost something. The courthouse museum helps provide that feeling.”
LONDON (AFP) – A mural by British street artist Banksy which mocks government surveillance has been defaced with spray paint, leaving fans saying Friday they faced a race against time to save the one-million-pound artwork.
The piece, titled “Spy Booth,” depicts three men in trench coats using listening devices to tap into conversations at an actual public telephone box in Cheltenham, southwest England.
It is just three miles from the UK government listening post GCHQ, which was the subject of a series of recent revelations by fugitive former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.
Vandals spray-painted silver and red graffiti on to the elusive artist’s design overnight, but residents have expressed their hope that the piece, valued at 1 million pounds ($1.7 million, 1.3 million euros), can be saved.
Residents have been using toothbrushes and cloth to clean the piece and prevent any lasting damage.
“Spy Booth” had been under threat of removal after interest from an American investor, who wanted to buy the work and transport it from the wall.
But the Save The Banksy campaign to keep the mural in place appeared to have succeeded earlier this week, when Hekmat Kaveh, a local businessman, stepped in to purchase it.
Kaveh said on Friday he was “absolutely appalled” by the vandalism but remained focused on protecting the work.
“It only given me more determination to make sure that we — Save the Banksy — do actually save it,” he said.
“Everybody is just really, really upset,” said Angela De Souza, another member of the campaign group.
“The Banksy is protected by anti-graffiti paint but we are in a race against time because the paint could seep through the layer of protection and ruin the artwork.”
Banksy is renowned for his street artworks, which often use subversive or satirical imagery to tackle subjects such as war, capitalism, hypocrisy and greed.
He also left an artwork on Israel’s controversial West Bank separation barrier.
The artist’s identity remains shrouded in secrecy but he is believed to have started out as a graffiti artist in the southwestern city of Bristol.
DENVER, Pa. – Dan Morphy, president and founder of Morphy Auctions in Lancaster County, Pa., today confirmed his company’s acquisition of Victorian Casino Antiques (VCA), a Las Vegas-based auction house renowned for its sales of vintage gambling/coin-op machines and antique advertising. The purchase adds the Western-states presence Morphy has long felt was essential to solidifying his firm’s reputation as a national auction house.
“We are now a coast-to-coast business,” Morphy said. “Las Vegas is California’s playground and is only a 4-hour drive from Los Angeles. It will be a convenient destination for both consignors and bidders from the West Coast.”
Victorian Casino Antiques’ long-established corporate name will be retained, with the new tagline “a Morphy Auctions company.” VCA’s current staff of 15 employees will continue in their present roles. Additional staff will be hired as the Las Vegas operation expands.
“Morphy’s is a full-service auction house. We sell everything, including fine and decorative art, furniture, antique guns and now, with opening of our newest division, classic cars. Las Vegas needs an experienced auction house that can handle all types of antiques and estate goods in addition to the specialty categories that Victorian Casino and Morphy’s share in common. We will be fulfilling a need in the local community, while at the same time serving consignors from surrounding states,” Morphy said.
Peter Sidlow, 77, has served as president of VCA since 2002 and will continue in that role. Sidlow said the sale of his company to Morphy’s has reinvigorated him.
“I will be working for Morphy’s, now, which is a top-notch organization that I’m thrilled to be part of. But instead of being involved with day-to-day operations as I was before, much of my job, now, will consist of representing the company at shows and seeking out and securing consignments,” said Sidlow. “I’ve been a collector for over 70 years, and because of the many contacts I’ve made along the way, I can bring in some great collections. I know where they are.”
Morphy praised Sidlow and his staff, describing them as “a first-class team.”
“I’ve watched Peter Sidlow for years and have had nothing but admiration for him. He has a vast knowledge in so many categories. Before purchasing Victorian Casino, he built one of the country’s premier classic car collections, for example. Also, I like the way Peter runs his sales. He has a great relationship with his employees, who are devoted to him. If ever there were an ideal merger of business models, it’s the one that brings together the teams and ideals of Morphy’s and Victorian Casino. I’m very confident the blending of our two companies will be an easy transition, because we both do business the same way.”
Morphy said his goal will be to “take Peter away from the nuts and bolts of running the back end of the business and put him on the road so he can meet with clients and talk to people at shows,” adding, “That’s how I changed my own role at Morphy’s Pennsylvania headquarters, and it made a very positive and tangible difference.”
Typically, VCA conducts three to four auctions annually, with each containing an eclectic mix of gambling and coin-op machines; antique advertising, jukeboxes, gameroom items and other novelties. These events draw large crowds of bidders to the VCA gallery, a phenomenon that defies the growing trend seen in most other parts of the country.
“Auctions have gravitated more and more toward the Internet, but we’ve continued to attract live audiences because people view Las Vegas as a destination,” said Sidlow. “They come for the auction, but they stay on to enjoy the many other things you can do in Las Vegas.” Bidders who cannot attend in person will be able to participate in all VCA/Morphy auction events by phone, absentee or online through LiveAuctioneers.
The first Victorian Casino auction jointly produced with Morphy Auctions will take place Sept. 19-21, 2014. The 1,700-lot sale will feature approximately 100 antique and vintage gambling machines from the storied collection of the late William F. Harrah (1911-1978), founder of Harrah’s Hotel and Casinos. The collection was retained by Harrah’s corporation after Bill Harrah’s death and later became the property of Caesar’s Entertainment Corporation. Many of the machines were kept in storage, while others were displayed in Caesar’s executive offices. Most recently, the collection was acquired by VCA, specifically for inclusion in the September auction.
“The Harrah collection we will be selling is relatively small, but the excitement value is very large,” said Sidlow. “The Harrah name is legendary.” Among the collection’s highlights is a 1904 Caille roulette floor machine that may fetch $150,000 to $250,000.
Morphy’s is planning a January 24-25 Coin-Op & Advertising sale at the Las Vegas gallery. The company’s first West Coast Classic Car Auction is tentatively scheduled for March of 2015, also at the Las Vegas premises. Other auctions in the immediate pipeline for the Vegas gallery will focus on antique firearms, and fine and decorative art. All will feature Internet live bidding via LiveAuctioneers.
