CITY CELEBRATION

Hageman Group proposes offices in tech district

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

At its June 18 meeting, the Fishers City Council heard an introdevelopment duction for a new office building, HG Technology, to be built as a Tech Park gateway building by Hageman Group in partnership with the City of Fishers.

The building will be a Class A, multi-story office building at 8939 Technology Way and will encompass 31,000 square feet. The company plans to invest $8.5 million.

Economic Director Brandon Dickinson presented the project to the council. He said the project will serve as a catalyst for more development.

“This would add needed office space to our downtown office inventory,” he said. “We can’t build it fast enough for the demand we have

for people that want to locate their business and talented workforce to downtown.”

The company has 30 months to pre-lease to tenants. If it succeeds, the city will provide $2 million in bond proceeds and $50,000 for utility allowance and waive impact fees to offset development costs. If the company sells the building within its first five years, the profit will be shared with the city.

“I think that’s something that’s new that we think is appropriate,” Dickinson said. “If we are able to put public dollars into a project and it’s successful, the city should be able to be entitled to a share of the fruits of that labor.”

The building backs up to the Nickel Plate Trail and is across from Meyer Najem Construction on Lantern Road.

“Innovation companies are looking for a place to call home in Fishers, and this development provides another opportunity for

growing companies to join the entrepreneurial economy here in our city,” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness stated in a press release.

The council unanimously passed the economic development deal between Hageman Group and the City of Fishers.

For the first time in its 15-year history, Noblesville-based HAND Inc. is housing reaching outside of Hamilton County to create affordable housing options for low-income residents.

HAND – Hamilton County Area Neighborhood Development – is investing more than $2 million in Lebanon in Boone County to acquire 17 duplexes, which will be renovated and transformed into affordable apartments. The rental community will have 33 leasable units on two cul-de-sacs, along with an office for property manager Mark III and a community room open to all residents.

HAND, a nonprofit that addresses housing needs of low- and moderate-income people, families and senior citizens in Indianapolis suburbs, is branching into Boone County to serve a need, according to HAND’s Outreach and Fundraising Manager Andrea Muirragui Davis.

“We know that other suburban communities are facing the same challenges as Hamilton County,” Muirragui Davis said. “Housing costs are rising as the population grows, making it difficult for folks with modest incomes to afford to live in those communities. After

HAND is branching out to Boone County (Submitted photo)

15 years of developing apartments from the ground up, and remodeling three abandoned buildings, HAND wanted to acquire an older property in need of investment in order to keep it affordable for residents.”

The Lebanon duplexes, called Hickory Commons, were built in the 1950s. The renovation project, with funding from the Indiana Housing Community Development Authority and a private loan from Lake City Bank, is expected to take about a year and will not displace residents.

Because of its proximity to Hamilton County and the rising need for affordable housing options, Boone County was a natural place for HAND to extend its reach, Muirragui Davis said.

“Boone County also is experiencing the

rapid population growth that drives housing costs up, so it has similar challenges (to Hamilton County),” Muirragui Davis said.

“Geography also is a factor, given the proximity to HAND’s existing operations in Hamilton County.”

HAND’s Boone County project likely won’t be its last outside of Hamilton County.

“HAND is always looking for opportunities to address the housing needs of low- and moderate-income individuals and families, whether it is in Hamilton County or elsewhere,” Muirragui Davis said. “Although Marion County has a wealth of organizations tackling this issue, HAND is one of very few nonprofits working on housing issues in the suburbs.”

Seniors key to HSE’s boys lacrosse state title

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Southeastern High School boys lacrosse coach sports Scott Beesley knows the key to the team’s first state championship rested with his 13 seniors.

“We had great senior leadership that really bought into what the coaches were preaching,” said Beesley, who has been coach for five seasons. “This group of seniors had been playing varsity lacrosse, most of them since their sophomore year.

We knew they were talented. We weren’t

sure who the leaders were going to be. Definitely, the seniors as a whole and a couple of individuals stepped up. Keegan Logan and Nick Riina were tremendous vocal leaders on the offense and defense.”

Host Hamilton Southeastern rallied from a 14-9 deficit in the third quarter to beat Culver Academy 15-14 in the Indiana High School Lacrosse Association state title game. It was the first time Hamilton Southeastern had reached the final. The Royals had reached the semifinals the previous two seasons.

Hamilton Southeastern (17-6) had lost to Culver 8-7 earlier in the season.

city celebration Mayor talks formation of inaugural Spark!Fishers

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Mayor Scott Fadness isn’t quite sure what the turnout will cover story be for the inaugural Spark!Fishers, the city’s new Fourth of July celebration scheduled for June 30.

What he does know is the event is centered in downtown Fishers and will showcase the city’s culinary and entrepreneurial vibes.

When the city created a committee that reviewed which nonprofits should receive grants, it decided not to invest in the previous Fishers Freedom Festival celebration. That event received $85,000 from the city and in-kind services. Fadness said the goal for Spark!Fishers is to be at that price point or less.

“At some point, Fishers Freedom Festival decided that without that continued level of funding, they didn’t have a desire to continue to move forward with the festival as we knew it,” Fadness said.

“When that discussion occurred, we were

fortunate enough that the parks department’s focus was on tradition-building and community events, and we made the decision internally that we would move forward with the new festival that still celebrated those things in the past everybody loved, but embraced the things our city was known for.”

Fadness said some features of the original festival will remain, such as the parade and fireworks, but the new Spark!Fishers event will focus on the city’s past, present and future.

“We are changing locations and bringing it downtown,” Fadness said. “It will focus on culinary and the entrepreneurial vibe.”

The event begins with a June 29 concert by Sugar Ray and Ryan Ahlwardt. On June 30, the day kicks off with a 5K run at 8 a.m., followed by an opening ceremony and the street fair at 11 a.m. The parade will follow a full day of street fair activities at 7 p.m., with fireworks scheduled for 10 p.m. A rain date for the parade and fireworks is scheduled for July 1.

Fadness said approximately 80 volunteers from the community have been working on the event.

“It’s at the heart of our city, being able to be around all that,” Fadness said. “We would hope the amphitheater would be done at this time, but weather delays really hampered that. We think this type of act belongs in the heart of the city where all this walkability and restaurants are here.”

During the street fair, live entertainment will be featured throughout the day and many vendors will be on-site. One live band, the Naptown Hepcats, is based in Fishers and will be performing in its home city for the first time.

“We are a Fishers band, and we are super excited to be able to perform at a Fishers event, especially one as big as Spark!Fishers is expected to be,” said Spencer Mitchell, a guitarist and lead vocalist for the band. “We are just absolutely thrilled to be able to do this.”

spark!fishers is open to all Among other features, a sensoryfriendly area for viewing the fireworks and for experiencing the street fair will be open.

“There were concerns about making sure the festival was inclusive for everyone,” Mayor Scott Fadness said. “In recognition that fact some folks here in Fishers have special needs, we want to accommodate for those folks so they can enjoy the festival like anyone else.”

Accommodations include a firework viewing area inside the Meyer Najem building, where families can watch the fireworks through glass walls without the noise. In addition, a sensory-friendly area in the street fair will be in the parking lot between Greek’s Pizza and Four Day Ray Brewery. Activities in that area will include bubbles, face painting, a ball toss and more.

Family vacation

o b s e r v ation Know the difference Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Presenting to a large assembly of mostly central Indiana business leaders, the young mayor of the recently ordained City of Fishers, Scott Fadness, outlined a vision for his community and that of the larger body of central Indiana. While at once relaxed, even jocular, he is intensely focused on navigating the threats and opportunities with which he is confronted. One is comforted to expect that even if the challenges prove overwhelming, it would not be for any lack of effort, intelligence or intensity on his part.

In examining the population growth, rising real estate values and other affirmations of the positive direction his citizenry enjoys, he admonished the group with his own mantra — namely to invest oneself in “knowing the difference between what you are doing and what’s happening to you.”

Too often, we revel in the success we might encounter in life, claiming that “we own” all that is good and right. We are making it happen. We are “doing” it. Still, as life turns against us and the winds blow blustering cold in our face, we assert all matter of calamity to be “happening” to us. Surely, sometimes we are correct. Yet, how often did we take credit for a rising tide and refuse blame for a sinking ship?

In our own work, home and family, are we holding ourselves to account for what we can hope to affect and deflecting credit (or blame) for that which we cannot? Is the magic in life not whether we own our actions or not but instead knowing when and how to hold ourselves accountable and when to claim a pass? Fadness reminds us to check not only our hubris but also our humility.

We survived! Twenty-three people, seven nights, one beach house. Compared to previous family vacations, this week ranks pretty high. Here’s why. humor For starters, the “littles” are getting older. Three of my nieces were drowning victims waiting to happen last year, but this summer they can all sort of swim. And more importantly, they can truly be threatened with, gulp, “No iPad time!”

True, my youngest sister still has two kiddos in diapers, and they cried a lot. I mean a lot. But their antics were more than offset by copious amounts of alcohol. Wine, beer, rum, vodka, tequila, even a fifth of Jack, were consumed in vast quantities, making the boxes of SPF 70 we went through look like we were wintering in Siberia. And that’s saying something, as most of us are pasty gingers.

There were no severe sunburns, only one fight (the result of an impromptu Dr. Phil session where one of my nieces told her sister she didn’t like her new haircut), and with the exception of another niece projectile vomiting in a rental car on the way to the airport, no illnesses. We enjoyed sandcastlebuilding, Boogie-Boarding, storm-watching, dominoes, Jeopardy, eating, reading, fishing, original performance, and actual, live, faceto-face, conversation.

At the last night’s dinner, we played HighLow, where everyone shares the best and worst parts of the trip. My dad, who had experienced limited beach time because of a twisted ankle, said it best: “I just like being here with all of you.” Me, too.

Here’s to quality time with family. Cheers!

Peace out.

READER ’ S V I E W Where are students getting guns?

Editor, Early in my career, I was a health inspector. Among other things, I was trained in mosquito (vector) control.

The majority of people believes that pesticides (in forms such as mosquito control trucks) are the best method of vector control. They are not.

The most effective mosquito-control method is to remove mosquito breeding waters, specifically standing water.

You’ll want to look around for anything that contains standing water. Standing water is water that doesn’t move much.

Streams are not standing water so long as the water is flowing. Stagnant water is where mosquitoes breed.

Look for stagnant water in your gutters, in buckets or tires left outside, or even in small containers such as paper cups left outdoors. Then, empty everything that has stagnant water and make sure no more water can refill the same area.

Although you can make significant reductions in the mosquito population by removing stagnant water, if you have

neighbors with stagnant water (such as in uncleaned gutters and downspouts) you’re probably still going to have mosquitoes. Sharing this information with your neighbors may help greatly in reducing the mosquito population in your neighborhood.

I recommend making or purchasing a bat house. Bat houses can be purchased on Amazon or from Tractor Supply for about $18. Just one bat can eat up to 2,000 mosquitoes a night! A small bat house might host 10 bats. Ten bats eating 2,000 mosquitos a night equals 20,000 dead mosquitoes in one night. That is about 600,000 dead mosquitos in one month from just one little $18 bat house.

Mosquitos can, and often do, transmit diseases such as the West Nile virus, encephalitis (brain swelling) and Zika.

They also transmit heart worms to dogs.

There may be many more diseases they transmit that we just don’t know yet.

Lastly, the Indiana bat (myotis sodalis) is an endangered species. We need them.

We need to protect them.

Eggsactly what I thought Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

As an apology to a friend, I sent him a $30 gift card for a breakfast.

We ate together the next humor week. After we finished, the waiter informed us there was still credit remaining.

“You use it,” Jim said before he left.

“How much credit is left?” I asked the waiter.

“The balance is $971.12. That’s a record here. Second place is $13.78.”

“Wait,” I said, “that’s not right. The card was only for $30.”

The manager came over and confirmed I could use the card’s balance.

“Our mistake,” he said, “and we will honor it.”

I told Mary Ellen, and she demanded that I return the card. I wanted other opinions.

First, I emailed my brother in New York.

“Peter, I bought a $30 gift card but they credited me $1,000 by mistake. What should I do?”

Peter’s response: “About what?”

Then I emailed my editor, Heidi.

“Can you help with a situation. I have a $1,000 gift-card from a local breakfast joint, but I only paid for a $30 card.”

Her response: “First, you need a question mark after ‘situation.’ Second, gift card is not hyphenated. Enjoy your free breakfasts.”

Finally, I called my friend, Bob. “Bob, I’m not hurting anyone if I use the card, am I?” “You’d be killing chickens.”

“I’m just eating the eggs.”

“They could have been chickens.”

Bob asked his wife what she would do.

“Cathy agrees with Mary Ellen, 100 percent.”

“Did you tell her what Mary Ellen said?”

“No, why would that matter?”

I did cut up the card. I was looking forward to a three-egg, four-cheese omelet every Sunday for two years, so I’ll be a little down about that — but so will my cholesterol.

Mary Ellen was happy. She said if the café caught their mistake, I’d have egg on my face for using the card. Which was my plan from the beginning.

Common running injuries Commentary by Dr. Joseph Hui Common overuse injuries can affect the hip, knee, lower leg, foot and ankle for runners.

Injuries to the hip typically can be separated by location: sports medicine groin, anterior, lateral and posterior. Injuries to the groin may include labral tears or stress injuries to the femoral neck located near the top of the femur bone.

Physical therapy and a period of relative rest can be helpful.

Anterior or frontal hip pain may be associated with iliopsoas tendinopathy or strain, while lateral or side hip pain is typically associated with gluteus medius tendinopathy. For issues related to tendinopathy, eccentric strengthening and toolassisted soft tissue massages are often helpful. Posterior hip pain is often due to a pinched nerve, either due to piriformis syndrome or from sciatica. Pain from this issue can be alleviated with core strengthening exercises.

Injuries to the knee also can be separated by location: kneecap, joint line, lateral and posterior knee. By far the most com-

mon cause of knee pain from running is from improper knee biomechanics resulting in pain around the kneecap, which is called patellofemoral pain syndrome. Orthotics, strengthening of the knee and hip and cross training.

Lateral knee pain can be caused by a tight IT band, which is attached to the knee and helps stabilize and move the joint. Rolling on a soft foam roller, also known as a OPTP roller, and other forms of soft tissue massages can help stretch and loosen the connective tissue to reduce the pain. Posterior knee pain often results from hamstring tendinopathy. Eccentric strengthening and tool-assisted soft tissue massages can be helpful in this case.

Lastly, for runners older than 40, one common reason for knee pain at the joint line is due to wearing away of the cartilage, also known as arthritis. Transitioning to low impact running and knee and hip strengthening can help treat arthritic pain.

Dr. Joseph Hui is a Riverview Health primary care sports medicine physician. He specializes in management of non-operative orthopedic issues and sports-related injuries.

His office can be reached at 317-867-5263.

dispatches Natural pain remedy – If over-the-counter pain relievers cause you stomach distress, or you just want to try a natural remedy, try white willow bark. It’s a pain reliever that has anti-inflammatory benefits similar to those of aspirin, but unlike aspirin, it doesn’t appear to damage the stomach lining. It can be used as a remedy for relieving the pain of headaches, menstrual cramps, low back pain, osteoarthritis and more. White willow bark is available online and in health food stores in capsule form.

Switch the water temperature from hot to cold several times, holding each temperature for about 10 seconds. The changes in temperature can rev up your blood flow, which can help make you more alert.

Gentry channels Judy Garland again in Magic Thread Cabaret performances

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Katy Gentry has long admired Judy Garland.

“Judy, in my mind, was the music best entertainer to ever live,” Gentry said.

Gentry will perform Garland’s songs during Magic Thread Cabaret’s production of “Katy Gentry is Judy Garland LIVE!” The performances are set for 7:30 p.m. July 6 and 7 and 4 p.m. July 8 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel.

Gentry said the best thing about the 2017 show “Beyond the Rainbow” at Actors Theatre of Indiana was hearing how others remember Garland in the receiving line after the performances. The Fishers resident was one of three actresses to portray Garland at various stages of her life, sharing a most impressive actress in a lead role/professional theatre division in the 2017 Mitty Awards with Annie Yokum, who played Garland in her middle years and an actress from another show, Karaline Feller. Gentry played Garland at age 38 during her famous 1961 concert at Carnegie Hall.

Gentry had previously played Garland in her 20s in the 2007 ATI production.

“The best things that I remember hearing were, ‘Thank you for bringing Judy back to me. I remember seeing her on her show,’ or, ‘I remember seeing her live,’” Gentry said. “People had tears in their eyes telling me this. There is definitely a connection there between her and her audience.”

Magic Thread Cabaret founders Tom Alvarez and Dustin Klein approached her about starting the cabaret-style theater.

The Magic Thread Cabaret debuted in November 2017.

“They would love to feature you as Judy,” Gentry said. “Over the last few months I think it’s become its own entity.

Of course, it’s a dream for me to feature Judy again.”

She will be accompanied by music director and pianist-composer Klein, bassist

Katy Gentry performs as Judy Garland in Actors Theatre of Indiana’s “Beyond the Rainbow.” (Actors Theatre of Indiana/Ed Stewart).

Christian Starnes and drummer Greg Wolff.

“I will be dressed as Katy and talking like Katy, but when we feature the songs, Judy will arrive,” Gentry said. “It’s a performance that allows me to share some of my connections with Judy. Then I go into her (personna) and bring her spirit out in the songs.”

Gentry’s favorite Garland song is “Come Rain or Shine.”

“It captures her entire life in one song in my opinion,” Gentry said. “That no matter what happens we’re going to get through this and sort of press on. We’ll end the first act of the show with that. A lot of the songs are taken from the Carnegie Hall show.”

Klein said he wants to accompany the show from the start.

“I was so honored that Katy asked me to music direct, and I actually sing a duet with her as well. I have also always loved this style of music. It’s my thing, for sure,” Klein said. “We thought Katy would

be a good fit for our cabaret because we had seen her in “Beyond the Rainbow” at Actors Theatre in Carmel, and we were blown away by her talent. Our mission is also to spotlight and give a stage to central Indiana singers and performers.”

Gentry said audience members are enjoying the small, intimate setting The Cat offers.

Gentry, who is known by her married name McCord as a teacher, is starting a new position with the early child program in special education at Hamilton Southeastern Schools for the 2018-19 school year. She previously was in special education in Noblesville Schools. Her husband, Greg McCord, teaches at Hamilton Southeastern Junior High.

Noblesville teens in CarmelFest competition

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Grace Renee Eckelbarger is hoping the fourth time will be the charm in the CarmelFest Has Talent talent show competition.

This will be the Noblesville resident’s fourth consecutive year participating in CarmelFest. She finished third the first two years and was a semifinalist in 2017.

“This year, I’m hoping to knock those judges’ socks off,” said Eckelbarger, who will compete in the 16-andEckelbarger older division.

The age groups have been divided into two instead of three this year with a new category for instrumentals and ensembles.

The competition is set for July 3 and 4.

Eckelbarger, one of five semifinalists in her division, plans to sing “Songs Like This”

by Carrie Underwood.

“It’s a super-fun, upbeat song I think everyone will enjoy,” Eckelbarger said. “I like

in concert

CarmelFest because it gives me the opportunity to share my voice with others. I love, love, love singing, and I believe it’s what I was made to do.”

Eckelbarger graduated from Horizon Christian School in 2015 in Indianapolis. She has been pursuing music by taking classes from an online music program. She also has been working at Carmel Middle School as a child care worker in its Edu-Care program.

Samantha Voegele, a Noblesville resident who graduated from Lapel High School in 2017, also will Voegele compete in the 16-andolder division.

“I entered this competition (previously) and had a blast,” Voegele said. “I was inspired to audition again and perform because I love the atmosphere at CarmelFest. I enjoy performing on stage and entertaining the crowd. I will be performing ‘Unchained Melody’ as covered by LeeAnn Rimes.”

Artist honors fallen deputy

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Ellen Rusk didn’t personally know Jacob Pickett. But when she saw a photo of the slain Boone County deputy with his K-9 partner, Brik, she felt like she painting lost a dear friend.

“I never met Deputy Pickett, but when I saw his picture I knew what a sweetheart he was, and he adored Brik,” said Rusk, a Zionsville resident who was profoundly saddened by Pickett’s March 2 shooting death while in the line of duty.

Moved to help in some way, Rusk reached out to local law enforcement and the Pickett family the best way she could - through her art.

Within a week of his death, Rusk - an amateur painter - began work on a portrait of Pickett with his partner, Brik. Working from a photo she saw on TV during the deputy’s funeral (she snapped a photo of the photo on her cellphone), she created an oil painting on a 15-inch by 17-inch Masonite canvas.

Rusk finished the painting in about six weeks. Declaring it her best-ever piece, she gifted copies to the Boone County Sheriff’s

The painting of Boone County Deputy Jacob Pickett and K-9 partner, Brik, created by Zionsville artist Ellen Rusk.

(Submitted photo)

Office and Whitestown Police Dept.

She gave the original to Pickett’s widow, Jennifer Pickett.

The Whitestown Police Dept. and the Boone County Sheriff’s Office were delighted to receive the unsolicited, unexpected gifts.

“The painting was a beautiful gesture,” said Tanya Sumner, director of public relations for the Town of Whitestown. “You could tell there was a lot of emotion behind creating it.”

‘Annie’ part of memorable year for Cohen Submitted content courtesy of Beef & Boards

It’s only been two years since 9-yearold Sadie Cohen performed in her first production. It was the theater summer of 2016. At the tender age of 7, Cohen played Mary’s Little Lamb in “The Trial of Goldilocks” at Jr. Civic Theatre.

And it was just the beginning.

“This past year has been an exciting year for me,” Cohen said. “I was in the Children’s Chorus of ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ at the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre. I then went straight on to be one of the King’s Royal Princesses in ‘The King and I’ at Brebeuf Jesuit (Preparatory School). I was also in the advanced class at Jr. Civic for the ‘Variety Hour Show’ this past spring and we just performed ‘Emoji: The Musical.’ I was so excited to sing the Matilda solo in the ‘Revolting Children’ scene.”

Now, she is on stage in Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s production of “Annie” as one of the orphans, Ruby. The musical runs through July 15.

Sadie Cohen plays the orphan Ruby on stage in “Annie” at Beef & Boards. The Carmel student is in her sixth production in two years. (Submitted photo)

Why does this soon-to-be fourth-grader at West Clay Elementary School spend so much time in theaters?

“I like performing because I love to sing, act and dance and entertain people,” Cohen said. “It makes me happy and I know it makes other people happy, too.”

That’s not to say there aren’t a few challenges along the way – like dancing.

“I’ve had to work hard at the dancing, but it’s been worth it,” she said, adding her favorite part of the show is the song “Hard Knock Life.”

Her performing career also has included three years with the Indianapolis Children’s Choir. But when she’s not on stage, she enjoys arts and crafts, gymnastics, playing piano, swimming and playing with her pets.

“I also love going to museums and doing fun things with my family, like seeing shows or traveling,” Cohen said.

7/18: Rob Zombie & Marilyn Manson

“I wanted to be in ‘Annie’ because I like trying new experiences and I thought that it would be fun, and I love the show and the movie,” said Cohen, who was selected as a 15-and-under semifinalist for the July 3-4 CarmelFest Has Talent.

Sometimes, when building a new home there are hundreds of decisions that need to be made.

Sometimes, outdoor living when the pressure to make those decisions in a timely fashion (to keep construction on schedule), you will hear yourself say, “It will be just fine.”

Sometimes, with the passage of time, you decide it’s time to rethink some of those decisions.

MASTER BATHROOM UPDATE In this Fishers-area home, the relatively short vanity cabinets with cultured marble countertops were “just fine”. The brass metal-framed small shower enclosure was “just fine.” The cultured marble tub with the bright brass tub filler was “just fine”.

Without needing to relocate any of the plumbing infrastructure, the bathroom that was “just fine” became a space that reflects the quality of finishes and sophistication of taste found throughout the rest of the home and that the homeowners always hoped for.

Installing a frameless glass shower, freestanding tub, furniture-style vanity and lowering a wall transformed what was a tight, compartmentalized space into an open, airy and relaxing space to start and end your day. Pure luxury!

Sometimes, it’s just time to transform your home. Stay home, and be moved.

Oecus Room in Rome’s House of Augustus. (Photo by Don Knebel)

the centermost of Rome’s seven hills, included the cave in which a she-wolf nurtured the infant twins Romulus and Remus. Romulus later founded Rome on Palatine Hill after killing Remus, who wanted instead to build a city on Aventine Hill. Rome, named for Romulus, expanded onto the surrounding hills. In 31 B.C., after Octavian defeated forces loyal to Mark Antony and Cleopatra, becoming Rome’s unquestioned leader, Romans hailed him as the new Romulus.

Octavian acknowledged the connection, constructing a house on Palatine Hill near a hut where Romulus report-

edly once lived. In 27 B.C., the Roman Senate gave Octavian the title “Augustus,” by which he was known when he became the first Roman Emperor. As Emperor, Augustus made the house on Palatine Hill his official residence until his death in 14 A.D. Although contemporary writers thought the house was too modest for Rome’s powerful emperor, it was sufficiently impressive that the words “palatial” and “palace” come from the house’s Palatine Hill location.

Augustus’ palace was apparently destroyed by fire during the reign of Emperor Nero and its exact location was lost until 1961, when archaeologists discovered the buried house and began excavations and meticulous restorations.

The two-story stone house was opened to the public in 2008, highlighting rooms adorned with still-vibrant frescoes. The large Oecus (Banquet) Room and smaller Mask Room display theatrical images, including comedic and tragic masks.
