County council approves funding for Ind. 37 project By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com At its March 2 meeting, the Hamilton Co. Council unanimously voted for a roads $16.5 million funding resolution and interlocal agreement that solidifies a long-in-the-works plan to rework Ind. 37 through Fishers and Noblesville. Both cities and all three Hamilton Co. commissioners have long showed support for the overhaul of Ind. 37 to get rid of all stoplights from 126th Street in Fishers north to the Ind. 38/32 junction in Noblesville, replacing each intersection with a roundabout that would connect cross streets over Ind. 37, similar to the Keystone Parkway improvements. But now, the two cities, county and state say they are ready to work together to build what they say is a solution for current and future traffic and road issues with the highway. “This has been a long time coming, and a lot of work, a lot of collaboration between the City of Fishers, City of Noblesville, Hamilton Co., our council and Gov. Pence and INDOT,” said Hamilton Co. Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt. “This is going to change the east side of Hamilton Co.” “We’re excited about moving this project forward,” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said. “The county commissioners, myself and Noblesville, we’ve been working on this for really two or three years now, and to get it done, and done in a way that I think is very professional, it can really move the entire county forward.” “I’m really excited. This thing has been a team effort from the start, and it is exciting. It’s something that you just don’t see very often,” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear said. “It is essential to have Noblesville, Fishers, Hamilton Co. and the State of Indiana working together to construct a new north-south corridor that addresses a major traffic concern of our growing community.” In the SR 37 Mobility Study summary of project costs, the cost for all nine intersections and the Allisonville Road/146th Street interchange to be revamped is estimated at just shy of $347.5 million. On Dec. 10, the state and governor’s office officially stepped in, vowing to put forth $100 million for the project’s first phase in Fishers – five intersections at 126th, 131st, 135th, 141st and 146th – by July 2018. The second phase will be the remaining four intersections that lay within Noblesville’s city limits – Greenfield Avenue, Town and Country Boulevard, Pleasant Street and Ind. 38/32. With the approval, Noblesville, Fishers and Hamilton Co. will all put forth $16.5 million total. Proponents of the project reiterated during the public hearing that local control and oversight of the project was a huge plus. However,

resolution was approved by the council, who agreed, as part of the plan, to offer up to 50 percent of the funds needed for the effort, not to exceed $250,000 in total. Heirbrandt said it could be up to two years before any ground is broken. There’s a lot of work that has to be done. There’s a lot of meetings that we’re going to have with the public,” he said. “We’re going to probably break (the meetings) down into intersections and have public meetings to get input from everybody and go over the design and try to understand how each business works and what we can do to try and help them during the construction. This is unprecedented in how this is being done.” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness addresses the council. (Photo by Sadie Hunter)
some, speaking as members of the 37 Business Alliance, said they were concerned about how the project would negatively affect the businesses along the highway, citing access issues with the U.S. 31 project through Westfield, later prompting County Councilor Fred Glynn to propose a resolution that would serve as a marketing plan for businesses along the corridor. Glynn said the plan would help the City of Fishers create outreach initiatives to both residents and business owners in the area. The

Flamingos available for second-annual Let’s Flock By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com The second Let’s Flock the Nickel Plate District will see another collection contest of creatively decorated lawn flamingos return to downtown Fishers. “We tried it for the first time last year and there was a huge response. It was a huge hit,” marketing and public relations manager Casey Cawthon said. Flamingos are available for $3 while supplies last at the Fishers Parks & Recreation office, 11565 Brooks School Rd. “People can decorate them however they’d like,” Cawthon said. “Last year we had an Anna and an Elsa (from “Frozen”).

We put them in the Nickel Plate District before the Movie in the Park April 29 and residents can come out and vote on their favorite.” Finished flamingos are due back to the Parks & Recreation office by 4:30 p.m. April

Murch also received a $50 gift card to Market District. Here is Brennan and Casey’s essay: Dear teacher of the month award, Thank you for taking the time to read our email. We just wanted to say we think our teacher (Mr. Murch) is worthy to get the award this month. First of all, just a couple days ago (January 26) he spent so much of his time to organize a project called Stratosphere. We sent up a weather balloon into space and conducted experiments with the launch and then analyzed the data. We just started learning about volume. He brought in his bike so we could calculate the volume of parts of the bike like the tire,

“Chess” is not on the typical list of high school musicals. performance “I think this is the first time, at least in this area, that this version of ‘Chess’ has ever been done,” said Ethan Mathias, a Hamilton Southeastern High School teacher who serves as the school’s musical co-director. Mathias said the show was chosen by the co-directors because it fits the skills of this year’s talent pool at HSEHS. The musical is set during the Cold War with music created by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, formerly of ABBA, and lyrics by Tim Rice (“The Lion King”). The performances will be at 7 p.m. March 10-12 in the high school’s Leonard Auditorium. Senior Lauren Boswell plays Florence, a Hungarian-American. Her family moved from Hungary after their county was invaded by the Soviets. “She is a second (assistant) for an American chess player, but she kind of falls over to the dark side and falls in love with a Russian chess player,” Boswell said. The musical is loosely based on the rivalry

between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky. “The vocal parts of the role are challenging for me, but it’s exciting to test my limits,” Boswell said. Senior Josh Diggs plays Anatoly, a Russian chess player. “It’s my first actual lead role in an HSE drama production,” Diggs said. “It wasn’t hard, but it was interesting to step up. There are more songs to memorize.” Diggs knew this was the role he wanted heading into auditions. “As soon as I saw the concert version on YouTube, I decided that was who I wanted to be,” Diggs said. Senior Sam Adams performs as Freddie, an American chess player. Adams played Emmett, one of the lead roles in the school musical “Legally Blonde” as a junior. “This role is challenging just because last year I had to expand my range to hit some of the notes for Emmett,” Adams said. “I’ve had to expand it even more, and that’s been even harder than it was last year. I’m just trying to condition my voice not to give out midway through rehearsals.” Mathias’ fellow co-directors are his wife Devan, who handles the choreography, and Mary Armstrong, who heads the stage crew.

Hamilton Southeastern High School government teacher, We the achievement People team coach and social studies department chair Janet Chandler was presented with a Sagamore of the Wabash Award Feb. 21. The recognition came as a total surprise to Chandler, who received the award during the school’s We the People team dinner and celebration. “It was an honor,” she said. “I had no idea whatsoever I was getting it.” A former student of Chandler’s, State Rep. Todd Huston, presented her with the award on behalf of Gov. Mike Pence. “It couldn’t have come at a better place — it was in front of her students, it was in front of their parents, at Hamilton Southeastern High School by one of her former students, Todd Huston,” HSE Supt. Dr. Allen Bourff said. “I don’t know that it gets much better than that when you’re recognized by the governor, presented by a former student in front of your students.” The Sagamore of the Wabash Award was established by Gov. Ralph Gates in the late 1940s in response to him receiving a Kentucky Colonel Award from the governor of Kentucky. “The term Sagamore was used by the Amer-

ican Indian tribes of the northeastern United States to describe a lesser chief or great man among the tribe to who the true chief would look for wisdom and advice,” said HSE school board president Karen Harmer, who had done some research on the award prior to the Feb. 24 board meeting. “I thought that was the coolest part of this.” The award is the highest honor the governor of Indiana can bestow to those who have contributed distinguished services in the state.

The boxes are a secure method in which the department can gain access into the home of participants of the WeCare community paramedicine program, who may have a repeated need for fire department response. The systems are similar to a realtor’s key box, but are even more secure and require a key to open, which is locked inside the department’s fire trucks. A Knox Box allows the department to access a patient’s home without forcing entry such as breaking a window or bursting through a door if the patient is unable to get to the door. The Meyer Najem donation will allow department responders to quickly gain access to the residence in case of emergency while the allowing the residence to easily be resecured upon the completion of the run.

Helping Haiti
The Robinson family will stay in Haiti for three to five years. From left, Connor, Kristin, Adam and Samantha. (Submitted photos)
Adam Robinson has visited Haiti multiple times, and he and his family will leave May 17 to stay there for multiple years.
Fishers family moving to Haiti to aid Nehemiah Vision Ministries By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Fishers resident Adam Robinson has traveled to Haiti through Northview Church ministry teams multiple times, but his next trip there will last three to cover story five years. Robinson, a paramedic with the Westfield Fire Dept., will work to develop a prehospital care system for the island and will be in charge of temporary leadership teams traveling to Haiti. “When we were in Haiti, Nehemiah Vision Ministries was at the beginning stages of building a medical center that will have inpatient health care, a malnutrition clinic, operation rooms, labor and delivery, radiology and dentistry — it’s an all-encompassing clinic,” he said. “Being a paramedic, that really connected with me.” On his campus tour of Nehemiah Vision Ministries, Robinson was taken into a warehouse that housed an ambulance that had been donated from America. “When I saw it, it didn’t make sense because they don’t have EMS services in Haiti,” he said. “I asked, and they said someday they have hopes of establishing a prehospital care system. I have been a paramedic for 12 years, and I felt, ‘why not me?”” While Robinson will not be in charge of establishing the
medical center, he will coordinate the short-term mission teams visiting, assisting and staying at NVM from American colleges and churches. “When we get down there, my primary job is going to be a team facilitator. I’m responsible for all short-term teams from the airport to time they leave,” he said. “I’ll be responsible for the logistics making sure they have all they need for the time they’re there.” When he is not assisting teams, Robinson will help the medical director at NVM establish the prehospital care system from the ground up. The infrastructure for a 9-1-1 system is not in place yet in Haiti, and Adam and his wife, Kristin, will need to do some creative problem solving to create one. Haiti is not equipped with an ambulatory service. The United Nations has vehicles for medical care, but Adam said Haiti does not operate on a governmental health care system like the United States. “There’s a need for it. People walk for healthcare or have to pay for transportation and the funds aren’t there to be able to do that,” Kristin Robinson said. “There’s a need to be able to help people.” All healthcare provided to Haitians at NVM is not free, but done at a severely discounted rate. Adam said that Haitians do not want free care; they want to be able to provide for their families.
“It gives them a pride to take care of themselves and families,” he said. “NVM is all about giving a hand up, not a handout. It’s a lot cheaper, but they still have to work for it so they can say they did that for their family.” The Robinsons have two children currently in Hamilton Southeastern Schools that will travel to Haiti with them, and Kristin will home school the children. Adam will continue to serve on the Westfield Fire Dept. until April 3, and the family leaves for Haiti on May 17. Their first year is completely funded, and they need about $55,000 per year to fund their trip. Donations may be made at therobinsonsonmission.com.
Meet the Robinsons Adam, 31; Kristin, 32; Connor, 5; Samantha, 7 Teams planned for Haiti missions: 46 in 2016 that Adam will facilitate, but more can always be added. Family hobbies: Being outside, riding bikes, camping. Children’s feelings for Haiti: “There’s some anxiety about not understanding where they are going to go and what it’ll be like, but they have excitement too about new things and new people,” Kristin said.

Twins Panel recap
FR O M T HE B A C KSH O P
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Buffett shows his brilliance Warren Buffett, billionaire extraordinaire? There is no refuting his financial status. We marvel at his wealth, and we realize we’ll never be in the same rarified air as he. That’s OK. A news item barely surfaced last week about the Oracle of Omaha (or, Democrat from Nebraska), and the mainstream media let it pass without comment, which is why we know he’s a Democrat. If he were a Republican, especially one named Trump, it would have been open season. His mobile-home business foreclosed on more than 8,000 customers in 2015. That’s probably the real “warm and fuzzy” Uncle Warren in action. If he embraces the Democrats, as he has Hillary Rodham Clinton, it’s akin to sleeping with the devil and it calls off the dogs. The mainstreamers won’t give this the ferocity of reporting that a Republican would generate. Think for a moment what would be reported if a Donald Trump-owned mobile home business had done the same, or one owned by the conservative Koch brothers, for that matter. Meanwhile, nary a peep out of Clinton. So, it’s a brilliant move on Buffett’s part. Is this a great nation, or what? ••• Lines of the week: “If you tuned into ABC’S ‘This Week’ the morning after Trump’s tremendous victory in South Carolina, you found George Stephanopoulos promising analysis from a “powerhouse roundtable,” by which I assume he was referring to the table itself.” That’s syndicated columnist Ann Coulter. And this from one of our own, with whom we were talking politics and which losers the establishment is backing. “You can’t control winners; you can only control losers.” Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Courage on reserve Commentary by Terry Anker The ancient Greeks believed it to be one of the four cardinal virtues. Courage – defined as the willingness to intentionally put one’s self into a circumstance that brings great fear, anxiety or reprehension. We honor our heroes for their exceptional fortitude and admire those with the ability to overcome dread with an eye toward the greater good. It appears every day, in ordinary ways. A toddler learning to take those first tentative steps exhibits their own nascent bravery. A teenager, making the right choice in the face of daunting peer-pressure, has it. The elderly man facing his own mortality with confident reserve certainly shows it. All around are moments of personal challenge, and then, ones of personal triumphs. Hamilton Co. Firefighters 4416 and Carmel Firefighters Local 4444 are working to place a memorial on the Court House square in Noblesville to honor those who have lost their lives in serving all of us – reach out to
Tony Murry (HC) or Sean Sutton (Carmel) to help. While this particular effort is in Hamilton Co., these men and women put themselves in harm’s way, on our behalf, when called – anywhere. To overcome real and apparent fear and enter a burning building to the benefit of a stranger, assuredly meets the standard set by the ancients of courage. In remembering this sacrifice and honoring those who have shown such fortitude in the face of adversity inspires us all to find the courage within each of us. One is reminded that the cowardly lion learned that he had it all along if only he’d used it. Do we all have a “reserve” of courage somewhere deep inside that, if tapped, can help us find the strength to overcome the bondage of our own fear?

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK Retirement may be looked upon as a prolonged-holiday or as a rejection, a being thrown on the scrap heap. – Simone de Beavoir
I had the pleasure of participating in a Twins Panel a while back, both as a twin myself and as a mother of humor twins. So I thought I’d share my responses with you, my adoring fan base. ‘Cause who doesn’t wanted to know more about me? 1. “Working full-time, do you ever miss your kids?” No. Nor have I ever. Even when I went back eight weeks postpartum after my first born. I do experience guilt, almost on a daily basis, and I occasionally have emotional breakdowns in my car over whether or not I’m a horrible mom for wanting to spend eight to 10 hours away from short people, but I can’t honestly say I ever really miss my kids. Bottom line? I’m a better mom when I don’t have to focus all of my attention on nutritional lunches, laundry apartheid and choosing which day we’re going to contract pink eye from the Children’s Museum. 2. “With four kids, how do you balance all the activities and still have time for family?” We don’t really. We try our best, but honestly we rarely eat a meal together. With kids in all age groups and at levels where multiple practices/competitions a week are the norm, we are chalking up serious mileage. But studies show that busy, engaged kids are less likely to end up meth addicts or knocked up, so we’re sticking with the crazy. 3. “Do you ever get to spend one-on-one time with your children?” Sometimes, yes. But generally, no. The car usually provides the best opportunity for individual time these days, though with a teenage driver helping out, the moments are becoming less common. And, if I’m not already asleep at my 8:30 p.m., I will occasionally crawl in bed with a kid and chat about his or her day. I’m not super proud of this lack of parental attention, but no one needs therapy yet, so they can’t be suffering too badly. There you have it. Enough “Danielle Wilson” fodder for you to make it through the week, whether you’re criticizing or commiserating. Peace out! Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Great Indiana Songbook celebrates Hoosiers’ music contributions By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Great American Songbook Foundation is doing its part to celebrate Indiana’s 200th year as a state. history The Great Indiana Songbook: Two Centuries of Hoosier Music free exhibit will be on display on the gallery level of the Palladium in Carmel. “With the Bicentennial connection, I think this is going to have a broader appeal than some of our other exhibits,” said Chris Lewis, director of programs for The Great American Songbook Foundation. The exhibit, which opened Feb. 15 and runs through January, features Indiana music legends from Cole Porter to Jackson 5 to John Mellencamp to Axl Rose. “Our official definition for the Songbook is music that will last beyond the time it was written,” Lewis said. “For our preservation efforts, we focus on the Golden Age and we do focus on the standards. But we’re celebrating American music and Indiana has one of the richest legacies of any state I know. It’s pretty remarkable when you think about it.” Lewis said the typical Great American Songbook audience clearly identifies with Hoagy Carmichael and Cole Porter. “But the Gaithers have written more standards and more songs that are in hymn books and they’re from Anderson,” Lewis said. The Gaither Vocal Band, featuring Bill Gaither, will make its first appearance at the Palladium at 3 p.m. June 12 as part of the Bicentennial series. Included in the exhibit is Steve Wariner, a Grammy-winning country singer from Noblesville. “He sent us several artifacts,” Lewis said. “We have handwritten lyrics from him and costumes.” The Wright Brothers are featured in the display. Tim Wright lives in Carmel and brother Tom in Fishers. The exhibit points out that Albert Von Tilzer who co-wrote “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” is from Indianapolis. Some Indiana rising stars displayed are Josh Kaufman, winner of “The Voice” in 2014, and Jon McLaughlin. Lebanon’s Lucas Debard,

An inactive display allows visitors to view music from different Indiana artists. Lewis said a new program called Perfect Harmony, a partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana Chapter will be involved. Regularly scheduled group programs are available for those individuals with earlystage Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. “It’s a music therapy program,” Lewis said. “We bring them in here and show them the exhibit. We use the interactive display. We’ll
have bingo and things that use the brain.” Lewis said they are also in the process of doing an outreach project with assisted living homes. Lisa Lobdell, archivist for the foundation, said there are about 20 Indiana artists on the interactive display. “A lot of people are surprised when they come through, saying I didn’t know this person came from Indiana,” Lobdell said. There is also another TV screen where documentaries or movies can be shown. “We’ve had people literally sit and watch a movie and then pull a chair around and watch the screen,” Lewis said. “You can spend as much or as little time as you want. There are 50 artists represented.”

French favorite: Onion soup
Commentary by Ceci Martinez
Travel to France in your own kitchen with this classic from the French cuisine. According to legend, King Louis XV invented French onion soup when one day all that was left in the pantry were onions, butter and champagne. Serve in style in a ramekin with melted bubbly broiled cheese and you will feel having attained high marks in haute French cuisine! Serves: 5 to 6 Ingredients: 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 5 large yellow onions, thinly sliced, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 2 quarts beef bouillon (for a vegetarian version, use vegetable stock), 1 cup full body wine (burgundy or merlot), 1 bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon sage, Salt and pepper to taste, French bread, 1 tablespoon cognac, Croutons, Swiss and gruyere cheese, 2 ounce piece each, grated Directions: In a large pot heated to medium/high, add oil, butter (1 tablespoon) and onions; cook stirring occasionally until onions look translucent, about 20min. Add sugar, salt and continue to cook stirring frequently until onions caramelize, about 10min. While onions cook, in a separate pot boil stock, add sage and bay leaf. Add flour

Junk King opens in Fishers

NEW LISTING - $509,900
By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com A former pharmaceutical sales executive and a former social new business worker and teacher have brought Indiana’s first Junk King franchise to Fishers. Julius and Jacqueline McQueen opened their Junk King location earlier this year at 9840 North by Northeast Blvd. and offer junk removal services for anything and everything throughout the Indianapolis area. “Nothing’s too small and nothing’s too big,” Jacqueline said. “Everything and anything goes. We get requests for baby grand pianos and hot tubs, and we can even take cars or trailers if we get that request… Anything — boxes, TVs, refrigerators — not only from just houses but also corporations.” Junk King will haul away yard waste, too, and hazardous materials are the only things they won’t take, Julius said. The McQueens’ big red Junk King truck has 18 cubic feet of storage — large enough to haul roughly six pickup truck loads of junk. Their goal is to add a second truck by the end of the year and expand the fleet to as many as five trucks in the next three to four years. And once Junk King leaves a job with a truckload of junk, it isn’t all automatically taken to a landfill. The company recycles or refur-

bishes what it can to donate to local charities and service organizations like the Salvation Army, Goodwill and the Julian Center. “That is one of the distinguishing points between us and some of our competitors,” Julius said. “Sixty percent of what we collect we donate, and it’s to some very good causes.” “I was a caseworker, so I’m always in the mood to help people and to help give things away,” Jacqueline added. The McQueens’ is the 75th franchise location for Junk King, which was founded in and is based out of San Carlos, Calif.

Local doc develops social network for urology patients By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Blending the self-help nature of websites like WebMD and the connecresource tivity of sites like Facebook, one Fishers doctor has developed a first-of-its kind, one-stop shop of a social network designed for urology patients. Dr. David Hall, part of the Urology Associates of East Central Indiana practicing Hall both at St. Vincent Fishers and in New Castle, first began blogging about urology issues after finishing his residency three and a half years ago. “With a lot of urology conditions, no one really knows a lot about them unless you’ve been through it,” Hall said. “But the problem was people would go online and find a whole bunch of crazy stuff, so I started blogging and if a patient asked a question about a topic I’d go home and write a blog about it … more or less just to get people more aware of the urology issues and make it more accepted to speak about them openly and just kind of break down the taboo barriers.” After about a year of blogging, Hall began finding that most patients diagnosed with prostate or kidney cancers or needing a related surgery didn’t have friends or family in their lives who had been through similar situations. “I thought if we could build a way for these people to connect with each other across the country. It’s going to help alleviate a lot of their anxiety around things like, ‘Hey how do you really feel day two after a prostate surgery?’ or ‘What’s the biggest long-term complication after radiation for your pros-

tate?’ or ‘What’s this medication and how badly does it really dry your mouth out?’” Hall said. “I can say it dries your mouth out, but a patient who’s been through that can probably describe it a lot better than I can. That’s how this idea launched, and we’ve tweaked it a little bit, and it’s still not what I want it to look like. We’re testing it, and we have users in four countries and the feedback has been excellent.” The My Urology Doc social network, assessable at myurologydoctor.com, features ongoing discussions between approximately 500 users related to topics including prostate, kidney, bladder and testicular cancer, kidney stones, urinary tract infections and many other urology related topics and information. As the site continues to grow, Hall hopes to add a dedicated software staff to add additional features, like a mobile app for smart phones, for example. “The overall goal is going to be a suite of tools and applications to really be — whether you’re a patient, a urologist or family doc or hospital system — kind of the go-to resource for all things urology,” Hall said.

Beet juice for brain power – Recent studies have shown that drinking beet juice has some amazing and rapid health benefits. Just one glass of the juice can improve cognitive function within 90 minutes of drinking it. Beet juice dilates the blood vessels and therefore increases the oxygen rate to the brain. It can also boost workout stamina, improve digestion and encourage cardiovascular health. Source: naturalon.com

Details make a difference Commentary by David Decker Remodeling your kitchen or bathroom is a big project, but it’s the remodeling little things that make your remodel stand out. Adding carefully chosen details can elevate the level of style in your home, and make your project look like more than just another kitchen or bathroom. Cabinetry Panels Cabinets are functional, but they can also be beautiful! We love taking the detail from a cabinet door and carrying it over to the exposed sides of the cabinetry. This small detail adds a touch of elegance, and turns what is basically a “blank space” into something decorative. Adding Feet You probably don’t pay much attention to the bottom of your vanity or cabinets, but if you add feet, you can bet people will notice. This thoughtful detail gives your fixtures a more custom look, and makes them look more like a gorgeous piece of furniture. Posts, Legs, and Trim You’ve added elegant details to your cabinets, but what about that center island? A well-placed trim, post, or even carved legs

The Louvre Museum in Paris occupies more than 650,000 square feet, has 403 rooms and exhibits more than 38,000 items. travel But some of the 10 million visitors each year are more interested in the number of glass panes in its entry pyramid. The Louvre, a former fortress, was renovated in 1546 as a residence of King Francis I. Francis, a patron of the arts, summoned to Paris a number of Italian artists, including Leonardo da Vinci, who brought with him an unfinished Mona Lisa. Francis eventually acquired the completed Mona Lisa, which hung on the palace walls of a succession of French rulers until 1800, when it was placed in the Louvre, which became a national museum during the French Revolution. The Mona Lisa was stolen in 1911. When it was finally recovered in 1914, the previously little-known painting was an international sensation. Millions of people began coming to the Louvre just to get a glimpse of Da Vinci’s now famous work. By the early 1980s, the Louvre’s crowds were overwhelming its traditional doorways, so Pres-
ident Mitterrand commissioned the design of a new entrance. The winning idea, submitted by American architect I. M. Pei, was a 69-foot-high glass and metal pyramid in the center of the courtyard, allowing visitors to enter through a large underground lobby. Critics immediately pounced on the pyramid design as incongruous with the Renaissance style of the building. Rumors began circulating that Mitterrand had ordered that the pyramid, a shape long associated with the occult, include exactly 666 glass panes, a number often connected to Satan. Dan Brown perpetuated this claim in “The Da Vinci Code.” Today, the Louvre’s pyramid has become as much a symbol of Paris as the Eiffel Tower, itself lambasted when new. Visitors who carefully count the glass panes consistently come to 673.
