April Koppenhaver and her husband, Charles E. Gaul II, already had a dog, Valentino, when a second canine came into their care. Milo was a rescue dog, so his age was undetermined. The beagle mix had been adopted by a family member, but after more than a decade, Milo’s owner developed allergies and sought a new home for the beloved pet. Valentino and Milo were used to being the only dogs in their homes, so Koppenhaver moved Milo into Mulberry Art Studios, the gallery she founded. Milo quickly became a favorite of visitors. “He was always smiling,” Koppenhaver recalled. “He’d sit there, and you’d hear” she tapped her finger on a wooden counter. “He was thumping his tail to greet people.” Toward the end of his life, Milo
developed cancer, and he died in November 2018. Gaul, who also had serious health issues, died at age 93 on Jan. 5, 2019, shortly before the couple’s 10th anniversary. In working through her grief from the two losses, Koppenhaver thought about how to commemorate Gaul and Milo. Thus, the Charles E. Gaul II and Milo “We Love Our Pets” contest and exhibition was created. The inaugural show last year featured 197 pieces of art related to pets. “There were all kinds of animals and some we couldn’t recognize,” Koppenhaver said. Styles ranged from the serious to the whimsical, including a cat wearing high-heeled shoes. “This was the first time we called for (a range of skill, from) children to professionals. We had refrigerator art next to $750 pieces,” she added. The second annual “We Love Our See Pet-Themed Art Show pg 4

To quote Bob Dylan, “the times they are a-changin’.” After six years in September and two years in May, Schreiberpalooza will be held for the first time in February. Dan Fink, director of marketing and public relations for the Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development, explained that in 2016 and 2017, the music festival that is Schreiberpalooza was held on the same weekend as the Rubber Duckie Race. “It was not sustainable, primarily for staff (members) and volunteers,” he said. “We’ve held it on Mother’s Day weekend in May the past two years and See Schreiberpalooza pg 2
