ne of Akron’s most visible, influential<br />
and cultural champions in the early<br />
20th century, <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> matriarch<br />
Gertrude Seiberling also left a beautiful and<br />
very personal legacy in the works of art she<br />
created.<br />
Influenced by this legacy, the <strong>2019</strong> theme<br />
titled Lasting Impressions, celebrates<br />
Gertrude’s passion for painting, which she<br />
discovered late in life and continued to pursue<br />
until she could no longer hold a paintbrush.<br />
<strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong>’s curator has reached deep into<br />
the archives to identify a select collection of<br />
Gertrude’s most enduring canvases of the<br />
estate’s iconic gardens. They are showcased<br />
in Fused, a lush garden gallery exhibited<br />
throughout the estate. Blending her<br />
20th-century style with a contemporary<br />
edge, four well-known local artists were<br />
commissioned to create one-of-a-kind<br />
sculptures to complement the display. The<br />
Art of Gertrude’s Seiberling, the fifth book in<br />
a series on the estate, has also been released to<br />
coincide with the exhibit, and a gallery of her<br />
work is on display in the Manor House.<br />

Dear Friends,<br />
As we’ve celebrated and shared our season of Art, Lasting<br />
Impressions, we reflect on all that Gertrude’s passion for art has<br />
inspired so far year. By showcasing her works throughout the<br />
Manor House and creating a one-of-a-kind metal sculpture exhibit<br />
throughout the grounds titled FUSED, guests have been moved<br />
to visit and have learned to appreciate the talents of Gertrude<br />
Seiberling. Fighting through the wettest spring since the 1800s,<br />
we’ve still seen more tour attendance than last year, welcoming over<br />
14,000 guests. In June, while we pushed through a rainy Father’s<br />
Day Car show, still welcoming over 2,000 guests, the month ended<br />
with a beautiful 24th Annual Summer Gala themed a Chef’s Canvas,<br />
enjoyed by more than 500 leaders and supporters from the community. Finally, in July, <strong>Stan</strong><br />
<strong>Hywet</strong> hosted Off The Vine wine and culinary tasting during a sun drenched Friday evening.<br />
Over 900 guests sampled more than 60 varieties of wine and enjoyed food creations from <strong>Stan</strong><br />
<strong>Hywet</strong>’s caterers and other partners while surrounded by the beauty of the gardens and estate.<br />
We now look forward to the remainder of the season throughout summer, fall and the<br />
beginning of winter, including the return of one of the best exotic auto shows in the country,<br />
the Molto Bella Auto Show. Very different from the iconic Father’s Day Car Show, the 7th<br />
annual show on September 8th will once again feature approximately 400 high caliber exotic<br />
cars, sports cars and rare classics from near and far accompanied by great food, drink and<br />
entertainment. The show benefits both <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> and the Kidney Foundation of Summit<br />
County and is distinguished by the many amazing cars that come together in one place, so<br />
that it stands alone among car shows in the area.<br />
Continuing the celebration of Art, Lasting Impressions, shoppers will be in frenzy at the<br />
fall Molly’s Boutique preview preceding Ohio Mart. As always, the 53rd Annual Ohio Mart<br />
is anchored by over 130 artisans showcased throughout the gardens accented by delicious fall<br />
treats. A fun start to the fall season! Also, this fall, the 11th Annual Murder in the Mansion<br />
season will present “A Brush with Death” for six shows over three weeks in October. The<br />
show will surely challenge your investigative wit as you maneuver throughout the Manor<br />
House interrogating suspect characters to figure out “who dun it”.<br />
Finally, the season will close out the holidays with one of our community’s favorite family<br />
traditions, Deck the <strong>Hall</strong>. This year’s fun theme is “Classic Comic Hero Christmas” with<br />
décor designed to celebrate the nostalgic super heroes and villains from years past. Showcasing<br />
over one million lights, anchored by Dazzle and Gingerbread Land, <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> will showcase<br />
the artistry of the hero comic book era partnering with local comic book shops, collectors and<br />
even Lego®. The Manor House will display scenes in more than 20 rooms throughout the<br />
home providing a fun holiday twist to the theme and creating holiday memories to share with<br />
friends and family while coming together around the warming fire in the courtyard to enjoy<br />
hot chocolate and warm gingerbread cookies.<br />
As we continue to host amazing events, the restoration and preservation of this national<br />
treasure continues. The commitment and progress of the restoration plan funded by the<br />
2nd Century Campaign in 2015, continues in the Manor House as each room is unveiled<br />
after being fully restored and back to life. The next phase of the Tea House and lagoon<br />
restoration will take place this fall as the lagoon is cleaned and restored. The celebration of the<br />
completion of these great works will continue with the community and all of you who have<br />
supported <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> in so many ways. The staff, volunteers and board of directors of <strong>Stan</strong><br />
<strong>Hywet</strong> are forever thankful.<br />
With gratitude for your continuing support and friendship,<br />

GAR presents<br />
Essential Experiences<br />
at <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong><br />
At the core of <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong>’s mission is a robust,<br />
award-winning education program that has evolved<br />
since 2012 in partnership with Akron Public Schools<br />
(APS), and its curriculum specialists. Developed to<br />
be a more lasting and impactful experience than the<br />
traditional field trip, each program takes full advantage<br />
of the estate’s numerous resources. The curriculum fully integrates <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong><br />
<strong>Hall</strong> & Garden’s archives, collections, gardens and grounds; a corps of dedicated<br />
interpreters; and professional staff who are experts creating a unique learning<br />
laboratory for the students.<br />
In 2018, this curriculum caught the attention of GAR Foundation. Centered<br />
on immigration and its impact at the estate and in the broader community in<br />
the early 20th century, the program was selected to become the basis for a new<br />
Essential Experiences initiative by the Foundation. With the Foundation’s grant<br />
support, the program will serve 100% of Akron Public school’s 5th grade students.<br />
Slated to launch in fall <strong>2019</strong>, “Akron: City of Opportunity” will integrate onsite<br />
exploration and inquiry with digital story telling tools to relate the city’s<br />
immigrant past and current cultural communities, like the Bhutanese of Akron’s<br />
North Hill neighborhood.<br />
The education department led a<br />
two-year initiative to honor the<br />
100th anniversary of America’s<br />
entry into WWI, concluding in<br />
2018 with the release of a onehour<br />
documentary, “Lost Voices<br />
of the Great War.” The film<br />
shares stories of F.A. and Fred<br />
Seiberling, Goodyear employees<br />
and the company itself, as The<br />
Great War took over the lives of<br />
thousands of Americans during<br />
that tumultuous time in history.<br />
Education Director Toivo Motter<br />
led the effort in partnership<br />
with the University of Akron<br />
Archives, Akron-Summit County<br />
Public Library, The Summit<br />
County Historical Society and<br />
the MAPS Air Museum. Funded<br />
by an Ohio Humanities grant,<br />
the film was named an “official<br />
partner” of the United States<br />
WWI Centennial Commission.<br />
It won a “Best Community<br />
Partnership” award from the<br />
Ohio Museum Association, a<br />
Leadership in History award<br />
from the Association of State<br />
and Local History, and was also<br />
nominated for a <strong>2019</strong> Regional<br />
Emmy Award.<br />
GAR Foundation awarded <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> & <strong>Gardens</strong> a threeyear<br />
grant that will pave the way for long-term sustainability of this<br />
important mission-driven commitment.<br />

tribute to the late Mel Todaro who<br />
passed away from kidney cancer when<br />
the first show was just a concept.<br />

A Work<br />
of Art<br />
captured during<br />
Gala June 21<br />
The time-honored and uniquely <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> tradition, a<br />
Midsummer’s Night Gala, treated guests to a stunning night of<br />
celebration. From the white-gloved butler greeting guests at the<br />
front door to strolling down the twinkle-lit garden path at the<br />
close of the evening, the soiree was marked with the gentility<br />
and grace of a bygone era. A passion for the arts was evident<br />
and a fitting tribute to Gertrude Seiberling. Artistry abounded<br />
in the form of scenes captured on canvas by local plein air artists<br />
from the Akron Society of Artists, elegantly sophisticated floral<br />
arrangements and culinary presentations. The West Terrace<br />
buzzed with guests anxious to view the summer solstice, with<br />
the final peaks of sunlight dramatically setting behind the treeframed<br />
Overlook. A highlight of the evening was an auction<br />
for 20 guests to enjoy Dinner in the Dining Room, an exclusive<br />
experience in the historic Dining Room of the Manor House.<br />
Guest auctioneer, Dave Lieberth did the honors and awarded<br />
the experience to the highest bidder. Deepest gratitude is<br />
extended to the Gala Chairs, Jennifer and Timothy DelMedico,<br />
presenting sponsors The Lehner Family Foundation and The J.M.<br />
Smucker Company, as well as the many sponsors, over 500 guests,<br />
contributors and volunteers. Their efforts helped raise over<br />
$130,000 in net proceeds to benefit the continued preservation<br />
of this historic estate.<br />
A Perfect<br />
Summer Evening<br />
Off the Vine set a new tone for guests to enjoy a beautiful<br />
summer evening at the Estate. Nearly 900 came together<br />
on July 19th to sip, savor and experience more than<br />
60 wines, curated by presenting partner Heidelberg<br />
Distributing, and tapas-style culinary creations prepared<br />
by <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong>’s catering partners. As guests mingled<br />
throughout the estate,<br />
enjoying live music and the<br />
FUSED art exhibit, many<br />
were overheard saying<br />
they look forward to the<br />
next one! We do, too.<br />
Watch for the date to be<br />
announced in next spring’s<br />

is the new<br />
starting line<br />
for the Akron<br />
Marathon<br />
<strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong>’s gate<br />
was always open to<br />
the Akron Marathon<br />
and for many years,<br />
runners often caught<br />
their first glimpse of<br />
the estate when they<br />
ran through the property<br />
along the 26.2 mile route.<br />
In late 2018, <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> president<br />
Sean Joyce answered a call from<br />
Marathon officials that led to an<br />
important announcement. On<br />
September 28, <strong>2019</strong>, <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong><br />
becomes the new starting line for the<br />
Akron Marathon. So grab your cow<br />
bells and signs and witness runners<br />
from around the world charge out<br />
the Front Gate as they begin their tour<br />
of city landmarks and neighborhoods<br />
on foot.<br />

Inspired by the paintings of Gertrude Seiberling, a<br />
garden installation of 15 one-of-a-kind metal sculptures<br />
comprise this outdoor exhibit. It complements<br />
Gertrude’s paintings on display in the Manor House,<br />
and is part of this year’s theme, Lasting Impressions,<br />
a celebration of her art. <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> staff member and<br />
artist Joe Ott, and three local artists — Mike Ensminger,<br />
Megan Louise Shane, and Kim Thomas —created the<br />
unique metal works. All of the sculptures in the exhibit<br />

Now fans and friends of <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> can<br />
show their loyalty to the estate wherever<br />
they drive, by buying the new State of Ohio<br />
organizational license plate, prominently<br />
featuring the <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> name and logo. This<br />
initiative is a new chapter in the Seiberling story<br />
and the potential for thousands of cars on the<br />
road to celebrate the family’s gift to the people<br />
of Akron.<br />
The license plate makes for a good<br />
conversation starter, and a fun way to generate<br />
awareness of our national historic treasure.<br />
The new marketing tool is the result of<br />
a two-year effort led by Executive Assistant<br />
Carolyn Hritz, following through on a<br />
suggestion made by long-time volunteer, donor<br />
and personal friend of the Seiberling family,<br />
Hugh West. Hugh has a long connection to the<br />
auto industry: his family opened West Chevrolet<br />
in Akron in 1934, and Hugh maintained<br />
ownership until 1988, when it was sold. Several<br />
Seiberling family members were among his<br />
customers.<br />
Hugh and Phyllis West sport the first <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong><br />
plate.<br />
“I know how proud the Seiberlings were<br />
of <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong>. The new license plate is a way to<br />
show our pride in return. We will be promoting<br />
the estate wherever we drive in the U.S.” said West.<br />

In Memory and Gratitude<br />
Longtime Ohio Mart<br />
volunteer, Karen Thomas,<br />
passed away in June<br />
after a long illness. Karen<br />
had many interests and<br />
volunteered for many<br />
organizations, and at<br />
<strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong>, she donated<br />
at least 4,500 volunteer<br />
hours. Karen served on<br />
the Ohio Mart exhibitor<br />
committee for 29 years, and for many years,<br />
was the co-chair of the committee. In this<br />
role, she had the opportunity to meet and<br />
bring many outstanding artists to Ohio Mart.<br />
She is greatly missed. To honor Karen’s<br />
memory, the Ohio Mart committee has<br />
created a special award for exhibitors, Karen<br />
Thomas Memorial Award of Excellence.<br />

THWACK! The gallant and intrepid team in <strong>Stan</strong><br />
<strong>Hywet</strong>’s Collections Department is doing an audacious<br />
job planning this year’s Manor House adventure for Deck<br />
the <strong>Hall</strong>, A Classic Comic Hero Christmas.<br />
Nineteen rooms in the Manor House will be themed<br />
with the stories of classic comic heroes, including favorites<br />
like Wonder Woman, Superman, Spiderman, and Thor.<br />
And while they are slightly outside of the “classic” comic<br />
hero time frame, the Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers are<br />
nostalgic for a younger generation, and part of the display.<br />
To achieve the look, this collaborative effort relies on a<br />
cadre of champion decorating partners.<br />
It’s all about Batman in The Library, fearlessly<br />
designed by Jill Pangas and Renee Campbell, sisters in<br />
their second year of Deck the <strong>Hall</strong> decorating. And look!<br />
It’s Superman in the Music Room! Cleveland designer<br />
Edward Sajovic has created a setting that befits the action<br />
hero that started it all. Superman stands near a Super Tree<br />
of stacked gifts wrapped in primary colors of polka dot<br />
and glittered boxes – with additional boxes in tribute to<br />
Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, Cleveland natives and creators<br />
of Superman. Completing the room are “bang, pow, and<br />
smash” trees, with paper holly leaf garlands accented with<br />
comic strips and red berries.<br />
Local non-profit Akron Makerspace is bringing a<br />
spunky, creative approach to the design of the Tower<br />
and its theme of POW! Kern’s Home & <strong>Gardens</strong>, has<br />
an amazing design planned for the Blue Room with a<br />
Spiderman theme. The superhuman <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> Flower<br />
Arrangers are decorating the Reception Room with<br />
comic book crafts. Christmas decorations and superhero<br />

“Comic books are an art form that aligns with the season theme of<br />
Lasting Impressions. We’re also bringing an element of fun and<br />
whimsy to our Deck the <strong>Hall</strong> décor, using nostalgic stories of classic<br />
comic book heroes. There is certain to be something for everyone.”<br />
- Chloe Wingard, Curatorial Projects Specialist<br />
mosaics made from LEGO® bricks are featured<br />
in the Great <strong>Hall</strong>, created by the very talented<br />
Northeast Ohio LEGO User Group (NEO LUG).<br />
An evening of Deck the <strong>Hall</strong> begins in<br />
the Courtyard where Santa valiantly lights<br />
the Christmas tree each evening at 5:30pm<br />
(Gingerbread Man takes over this noble duty after<br />
Christmas). After the tree-lighting, Santa eagerly<br />
awaits all children and the young-at-heart, so that<br />
they can share their epic Christmas wishes with<br />
him and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in<br />
Rudolph’s Corral. Near Santa are the fanciful<br />
animated shop windows —vintage Akron of the<br />
1920s, and four bakers in perpetual motion at the<br />
entrance to Molly’s.<br />
Comic heroes also land in the Corbin<br />
Conservatory, which will feature a Green Lantern<br />
superhero theme. The Greenhouse wings will<br />
again feature a traditional poinsettia tree, always<br />
popular with guests for a fun and memorable<br />
holiday photo op.<br />
The Birch Tree Allée and the West Terrace are<br />
perfect places to enjoy a winter stroll, illuminated<br />
by an imposing one million holiday lights that<br />
sparkle throughout the estate. Dazzle features three<br />
new songs to captivate guests, and Gingerbread<br />
Land (Playgarden boldly dressed up for Christmas)<br />
promises a new surprise this season.<br />
What’s that<br />
aroma in the<br />
Courtyard? It’s the<br />
HOT! gingerbread<br />
being baked in the<br />
Gingerbread Hut.<br />
Cookies and cocoa are<br />
best enjoyed near the<br />
toasty warming fire, and there’s<br />
also beer, wine and Bavarian pretzels<br />
from the Salty Reindeer to savor. Molly’s Café<br />
sells salads and sandwiches, and Molly’s Shop is<br />
brimming with unique holiday décor and gift<br />
items for all the superheroes on your gift list.<br />
The Golden Age of comics began with<br />
the introduction of Superman in 1938 in<br />
Action Comics #1. Heroic people with<br />
superhuman abilities ballooned into<br />
a widespread genre and lasted until<br />
1950. Popularity waned during the 50s,<br />
after psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, in<br />
his best-selling book, Seduction of the<br />
Innocent, warned that comic books were<br />
leading youth into crime, violence and<br />
drug abuse. The industry recovered in<br />
the 1960s, the Silver Age of comic books<br />
when DC Comics began publishing<br />
revised versions of the 1940s superhero<br />
characters with more of a science<br />
fiction focus. Marvel Comics introduced<br />
characters such as Spider-Man, the<br />
Hulk, Iron Man and others – characters<br />
with more complex personalities, and<br />
more dramatic potential.<br />

Chinese Collar<br />
The Chinese Collar was returned over<br />
the summer and re-installed over the fire<br />
place in the Solarium.<br />
Bell Pulls<br />
The <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> Needlework Guild<br />
is funding the recreation of the five tassels<br />
for the bell pulls in the Great <strong>Hall</strong>, Round<br />
Room, Music Room, Cromwell Bedroom<br />
and Solarium; they are in production at<br />
Samuel & Sons, a New York City company<br />
that specializes in custom fringes, trims and<br />
tassels. Samuel & Sons recreated the piping<br />
and tassels for the light fixture over the<br />
Billiard Room pool table.<br />
K’ossu Tapestry<br />
The K’ossu Tapestry hung on the wall<br />
in the Solarium near the doors to the<br />
Music Room, but was removed and put<br />
in storage in 2015 due to its extremely<br />
fragile condition. As the piece is too<br />
fragile to display for any length of time,<br />
the collections team is working with Jane<br />
Hammond, the textile conservator at ICA-<br />
Cleveland, to have the original tapestry<br />
photographed and digitally reprinted by<br />
Kent State University’s Fashion School<br />
digital print lab. The reproduction piece<br />
The restored<br />
Music Room<br />
reveal took<br />
place on<br />
Saturday, April<br />

included Bill<br />
Babcox, his<br />

other family<br />
members.<br />
Restoration<br />
Update<br />
The collections team has been busy with restoration projects in the<br />
Manor House, part of the $1M Room-by-Room Restoration, funded<br />
by donors to the 2nd Century Campaign in 2015. Here’s a list of<br />
current projects:<br />
will then be hung in the Solarium in place<br />
of the original.<br />
Torchieres<br />
ICA-Cleveland is restoring two<br />
torchieres outside the entrance to the Great<br />
<strong>Hall</strong> off the Linenfold <strong>Hall</strong>way. The fabric<br />
rod and base are being re-upholstered with<br />
silk damask; the repairs will preserve and<br />
stabilize these pieces.<br />
Breakfast Room<br />
Restoration of the Breakfast Room will<br />
begin soon. Many of the original Delft tiles<br />
on the fireplace surround were damaged<br />
by the family’s frequent use, and about 40<br />
tiles are missing due to repeated exposure<br />
to heat. The fireplace surround will be<br />
recreated, and the new tiles will match the<br />
original in design and appearance.<br />
Music Room Reveal<br />
The restored Music Room reveal for<br />
The Babcox family, took place on Saturday,<br />
April 6. This celebratory event included<br />
Bill Babcox and his wife, Patty; and other<br />
family members. <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> is grateful for<br />
the generous donation of $280,000 from<br />
The Babcox Family Foundation for the<br />
restoration of the Music Room.<br />

ARRC takes on<br />
Community projects<br />
After<br />
An architectural rendering of the project.<br />
Portage<br />
Community<br />
Bank project<br />
Before<br />
ARRC is working on the redevelopment of the Westfield Bank<br />
building, purchased in November, 2018 by Portage Community<br />
Bank. Located at Portage Trail & Second Street in Cuyahoga<br />
<strong>Fall</strong>s, this will be the bank’s third location, and first in Summit<br />
County. The current structure was actually four connected<br />
buildings with a non-descript main entrance from a parking<br />
lot. Two of the buildings have been demolished, with the main<br />
entrance repositioned to Portage Trail, creating a more defined<br />
“entry sequence” for customers and employees alike. The<br />
façade is being redesigned in a neo-Classical look that takes<br />
architectural cues from the nearby post office, while matching<br />
the colors of these historic buildings in the neighborhood.<br />
According to Mark Gilles, “We’re taking the desires of<br />
the city of Cuyahoga <strong>Fall</strong>s and the branding of the Portage<br />
Community Bank and blending them together, for a strong<br />
architectural presence in the historic district.”<br />
ARRC is the construction manager and Braun & Steidl is the<br />
architect of record. The grand opening of the restored bank is<br />
slated for fall, <strong>2019</strong>.<br />

Kirby’s Mill at Richfield<br />
Heritage Preserve<br />
ARRC is providing preservation consulting to Braun & Steidl, the primary architect of<br />
the restoration of the historic mill at Richfield Heritage Preserve in Richfield, Ohio.<br />
Inventor Jim Kirby constructed the mill in 1922 to produce hydroelectric power for<br />
his home and workshop. The millwheel was the first of its kind, designed by Kirby<br />
so that its weight rested on ball bearings — it could turn with just a trickle of water.<br />
Founder of the Kirby Vacuum Cleaner Co., Kirby held 200 patents on everyday practical<br />
items including the wringer-less washing machine, a dry cleaning machine, and<br />
window washer. Kirby sold the property to the Girl Scouts in 1937, and it was a Girl<br />
Scout camp until 2014, when it became a community park.<br />
Merriman Road<br />
Residence<br />
ARRC is also working on a kitchen addition at a residence on<br />
Merriman Road, designed by architect Roy Firestone. Since the<br />
goal is to build an addition that matches seamlessly with the<br />
1920s building and the original detail, most of the addition is<br />
being customized to this house.<br />
Greenwood Farm<br />
In the Cleveland suburb of Richmond Heights, ARRC is assisting<br />
with the restoration master plan of Greenwood Farm. Originally<br />
the home of George and Maude Phypers, the 16.9 acre property<br />
is owned by the city of Richmond Heights. The property<br />
includes a 5,500 sq. ft. house built in 1917, as well as a 19th<br />
century barn and cottage. ARRC is working on a proposal for a<br />
master study so Richmond Heights can begin the fundraising<br />
process to restore the building and gardens to support its<br />
continued use as a community center.<br />

About Vintage Base Ball<br />
Vintage base ball emphasizes true<br />
sportsmanship and friendly competition. It is a<br />
“gentleman’s game,” and all players must treat<br />
their opponents and umpires with the utmost<br />
respect. There is no bunting or sliding in vintage<br />
base ball. Uncivil language, ungentlemanly<br />
behavior, spitting and alcohol are also prohibited<br />
at games and are “punishable by fine.” In<br />
addition, safety equipment was not used in the<br />
1860s so vintage base ball “clubs” (teams) play<br />
each other without helmets, catcher’s masks or<br />
gloves. While considerably different, the modern<br />
spectator (a “crank”) will recognize today’s game<br />
at these vintage “matches.”<br />

also learn how to follow your butterfly online<br />
using the Monarch Watch website. Ticket<br />
