Council unanimously supports Ind. 37 plan

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com The Fishers City Council unanimously supported the proposed road transfer and interlocal agreements between the City of development Fishers, the City of Noblesville, Hamilton Co. and the Indiana Dept. of Transportation following a presentation on the plan for Ind. 37 improvements by Mayor Scott Fadness at the Dec. 21 council meeting.

The plan, announced Dec. 10, will see Fishers and Hamilton Fadness Co. each pay $12 million and the state pay $100 million to convert several intersections into roundabout overpasses above Ind. 37 between 126th Street and 146th Street.

“I think one of the attractive parts of this for the governor's office was local participation,” Fadness said. “The City of Fishers and the county and the City of Noblesville are going to participate in this project on a unified front.”

The approved agreements between the entities will see control of the proposed stretch of Ind. 37 given from the state to Fishers during construction.

“We know we have a lot of valuable businesses and a lot of great neighborhoods along this corridor and we understand construction can be a difficult time for anyone,” Fadness said. “Within this document, what is unique and really collaborative

is… basically the state of Indiana, the department of transportation and the governor's office is going to relinquish the road, Ind. 37 from 126th through 146th Street, to the City of Fishers.

“That will occur sometime after we get done with the environmental study right before we bid the project,” Fadness added, saying there will still be a two-year design phase before construction. “That road will become just like any other road in the City of Fishers. We will maintain it, we will manage the timing of the lights, we will be responsible for everything you would normally think of for a city road.”

Ind. 37 will go back under state control after the project is complete, but local control during construction will allow residents and business owners to work directly with local elected officials to solve any issues they may face related

During the Hamilton Co. Commissioners meeting Dec. public safety 21, Public Safety Communications Dept. Executive Director Michael Snowden announced that final system acceptance for the new Motorola radio system has taken place.

The project was a collaborative effort between agencies in Hamilton Co. in which the county bonded the cost of infrastructure and the partner agencies purchased their own end-user radios and equipment.

The radio system provides a state-of the-art communications vehicle for public safety agencies, cities and municipalities, public works departments and schools within Hamilton County.

“While there is still work to be done on contingency items, the original contract has been fulfilled by Motorola satisfactorily,” Snowden said. “The system that was designed, built, configured and tested has been in place for 11 months and is working very well. This entire system is a testament to the spirit of collaboration that exists between the various entities in Hamilton County and can be held up as an example of outstanding interagency cooperation.”

Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness was part of the 9-1-1 Executive Board, which provided oversight throughout the project. The Public Safety Board and Radio Technical Committee were also heavily involved in the project, with Snowden thanking members for their time and a job well done at the Hamilton Co. Commissioners meeting.

to the construction process.

“I don't want anyone to leave here thinking that we're not sensitive to the fact that this is a significant construction project and it could cause pain, will cause pain to the residents and business owners along [Ind.] 37 and that's why we fought so hard for local control, so that they know who to call,” Fadness said.

“They know they can call the mayor, they can call one of the council members here, they can call our local engineering department and we're not going to refer them to the state of Indiana. Were going to say this is our issue, we're going to deal with it … We have the opportunity to mitigate the impact on our residents and our business owners and that was taken very seriously and we're going to be very aggressive about it.”

Fishers resident Wickens named national anthem singer of Indy Fuel

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com For Fishers resident and computer programmer Eric Wickens, singing has always been a passion.

He began in high school choir growing up in Anderson and was involved with the Purdue Glee Club during colperformance lege before a suggestion from a community theater colleague eventually led Wickens to opera training and involvement with the Indianapolis Opera Chorus.

Five years ago, he began lending his voice to the Wickens national anthem in an additional effort to get out there in front of people.

“Over the years off and on I've sung for the Indianapolis Ice, the Indians, the Indiana Ice and I had an opportunity to sing for the Pacers a few years ago,” Wickens said. “I saw the Indy Fuel were coming to the coliseum, so I

reached out to them and talked about trying to create a relationship with them.”

Wickens sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before approximately 10 games during the team’s inaugural 2014-15 season and in December the Fuel announced he would be the team’s official national anthem singer for the remainder of this season’s games at Indiana Farmers Coliseum.

JOIN US FOR A

“Eric has quickly become a fan favorite,” Gabe Amick, the Fuel’s director of event presentation, said. “His interpretation of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ is moving and has been a great addition to our game day experience for the fans.”

Wickens’ approach to the national anthem is fairly straightforward, void of extra extended or high notes some pop stars might work in.

“I've found from a lot of folks that end up coming up to me afterwards appreciate it being sung traditionally,” he said. “What I'll do is try to start off with a little quieter tone and then build it up as the song gets toward the end and really build it at the end. People seem to appreciate that.”

Wickens released an album in 2013 titled “Comfort,” a collection of sacred-classical pieces recorded at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in Indianapolis.

He’s also the managing director of VOCE, a professional ensemble performing next on March 25 at St. Joan of Arc Church in Indianapolis.

Meet your leaders: Erin Albert As the Hamilton Co. Leadership Academy approaches its 25th anniversary, Current is highlighting local leaders who have helped build and sustain the program, which focuses on strengthening our community by developing informed leaders. In June, another class of engaged citizens will join the 600-plus graduates already working to make a difference.

Erin Albert, HCLA Class of 2013 Hometown: South Bend Lives: Fishers Works: Indianapolis and Fishers Career: Albert is an entrepreneur, author, pharmacist, attorney and associate professor.

She founded and runs two companies (Pharm, LLC and Yuspie, LLC) and works at Butler University’s College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences as director of Continuing Education and director of the Ribordy Center for Community Practice Pharmacy. Albert also does clinical work as a health outcomes pharmacist at Myers and Stauffer, LC. A co-founder of the Social Media Dames Unconference series, Albert has written several books on pharmacy practice, entrepreneurship, law and regional community

development and contributed to a number of publications nationwide.

Nice to know: Albert is working on a series of Albert children’s books about engaging in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

Most valuable lesson learned through HCLA: “Candidly, some of the biggest lessons I learned … were what the county lacks. One group did its project on domestic violence resources available in the county, and I still cannot believe we don’t have a housing facility for victims of domestic violence. I also learned that we have a long way to go when it comes to leadership diversity. We also could use more diversity when it comes to housing.

While we live in an outstanding county, there is always room for improvement. Diversity demonstrates better outcomes and even higher profits in for-profit businesses, so we need to focus on more diversity in our county to (reach) the next level.

Retired Conner Prairie CEO Rosenthal, photographer Mueller collaborate on book

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It seems fitting that Ellen Rosenthal would lend her knowledge to a book about Conner cover story Prairie just before her retirement as president and CEO. “It does bring some things full circle,” Rosenthal said.

“It really shows the scope of what we’ve done since I’ve been here. I’ve been here 16 years and been running it 12 1/2 years, so it’s a reflection of what we’ve accomplished, plus the heritage of the organization.”

Rosenthal teamed up with photographer Thomas Mueller, a retired cardiologist, in producing “Conner Prairie.”

“I think what the photographs capture beautifully is the magic of this place,” Rosenthal said.

Rosenthal, 63, who retired in December, was instrumental in turning Conner Prairie from a more traditional museum into an interactive history park. Conner Prairie, situated on 850 acres in Fishers, welcomes 360,000 visitors annually.

Mueller has had a passion for photography since he was in his 20s. He trained at the International Center of Photography in New York City and has since displayed his work at several Indiana universities.

Mueller, a 70-year-old north side Indianapolis resident, began photographing on the Conner Prairie property about four years ago. He got the idea while attending a January dinner.

“We were walking toward the Conner house with our lanterns as it was deep into dusk,” Mueller said. “It was a wonderful evening with snow on the ground and I thought, ‘This is a great place to photograph.’”

Mueller approached Rosenthal about allowing him to do a photographic project. Rosenthal said they began asking Mueller to take photos of programs and certain areas of the

grounds.

“After two years, it started to really present an overview of Conner Prairie,” Rosenthal said.

Rosenthal said a gift store employee said visitors were always asking for a book about Conner Prairie.

“I would go out and speak to foundations, groups and potential donors and I always wanted to bring them something that gave them a view,” Rosenthal said. “It started to occur to us that Tom’s photos would make a wonderful basis for a book on Conner Prairie. Then it was a matter of putting our thoughts together and figuring out really what we wanted it to look like.”

Their first approach was a narrative about Conner Prairie with pictures serving as illustrations.

“As it started to develop, I said, ‘No, no, no, this is a photo book,’” Rosenthal said. “This is a book where photos are the center stage. It is really a photo essay. So let’s structure the book with basic segments, but highlighting the photographs. As that picture started to emerge, Tom and I sat down and co-curated the book. It was really fun to put

together.”

Rosenthal said there were things about Conner Prairie even she didn’t learn until putting the book together.

“Almost everything I didn’t know,” Mueller said with a laugh. “Since I was a relative newcomer here, I had to work with a lot of people who work here full-time. To a person, they were incredibly helpful taking me to the right places and giving me information about what I was photographing and what they were trying to portray. What I try to do is create a mood with a photograph and create some emotional response. What the people that work here did was give me a basis for what that emotional response might be.”

Rosenthal agreed the staff’s help was crucial.

“Tom and I had our names on the cover, but everyone contributed,” she said.

Rosenthal said at times they would need expert advice on certain subjects, for instance what was considered a heritage breed — traditional livestock breeds raised before industrial agriculture became a mainstream practice.

“I learned a lot about the history about the pictures we happened to pick out,” Rosenthal said. “As you dig into things you have an obligation to try to be as authentic as possible.”

Just in time The book, which is available for $19.95 in the gift store inside Conner Prairie’s Welcome Center, was released Dec. 12. “They printed 500 copies and the color was six shades darker,” Rosenthal said. “If you are doing a photo essay, you want the photos to be right. That was two weeks before the book signing so we told the printer we had to get them in time.” The corrected books arrived the morning of the signing at the Welcome Center.

“So we were biting our fingernails,” Rosenthal said.

Post office problems

FR O M T HE BA C K SH O P So much for the big rally Things have been pretty darned good in our communities for most of us since the recession withered away. Still, we’ve believed all along that the market would “correct” itself in the not-too-distant future, although do not look to us for financial advice. Now comes the news that Richard Fisher, the former head of the Fed in Dallas, spilled his guts on CNBC recently. In a follow-up report by zerohedge. com, we learn market volatility and comments about China driving such wasn’t the case. “It is not China. … What The Fed did, and I was part of it, was front-load an enormous rally market rally in order to create a wealth effect ... and an uncomfortable digestive period is likely now.” Simply incredible.

••• We’ve waxed here more than once about how out of touch the youth/young adults of America are. While not ours, this observation of young liberal America seems right on point.

“America’s colleges have always been teeming with Marxist professors and 18-year-olds who don’t know how to do their own laundry, but do know how the world should be run, but they’ve now become havens for the world’s most easily offended people,” according to townhall.com. In 2015, they brought us new terms, including micro-aggression, cultural appropriation and safe spaces, among others.

Commentator Mark Steyn might have had the best response of all: “The shrill, little twerps shrieking, ‘You can’t say that!,’ are a far bigger problem than the stuff they object to.”

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Our fuzzles, our tinglers Commentary by Terry Anker Now, to paraphrase the great Dr. Seuss, that we’ve packed up “our presents, our ribbons, our wrappings, our snoof and our fuzzles, our tinglers and trappings,” we turn ourselves back to the more normal operations. During the dark, cold days of winter, the sparkle and good cheer help raise our spirits. In fact, the spirits help raise our spirits, too. Americans drink more alcoholic beverages from December through March – average blood alcohol content per person increases by nearly 50 percent. But we can take comfort that the long nights and lazy days have passed as the sun rises a bit earlier and stays a tad longer. Likewise, holiday vacations and year-end bonuses have come and most likely gone. We now look to the coming warmer weather to indicate the emergence of spring and a new season.

So for today we pass the time obsessed with political candidates and fleeting primary battles. The partisan parties triangulate and reposition with the emergence of rising

and falling poll numbers. The contenders work furiously in a clumsy ballet of words and half-truths to distinguish themselves from each other and from their expected opponents would they advance to the general election in November.

If framed as mutual warriors working to improve the lives of we many Americans, they are friends. If framed as political antagonists (or worse) of the various idiots and scallywags deemed to be scraping for national attention, then, they are enemies.

Are we served better by a process of conflict or one of cooperation? Is our nation better attended by a high contrast of ideas or explicit attempts at reconciliation? Maybe the shorter days during the darker months aren’t the only reason for raising a frosty beer; we’re just tired of the conflict!

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K The mere fact of being able to call your job your passion is success in my eyes.

– Alicia Vikander

Well, it finally happened. That stressinduced meltdown I knew was lurking behind the twinkle lights, cheese humor plates and vacuumed-up tinsel emerged this morning. Read on, my friends, for a tale of going postal.

The Saturday started off fine. At 10:30 a.m. I dropped my youngest at dance and then drove straight to Kinko’s with my oldest for a passport photo. After waiting in line for-ev-er, we got his picture and headed over to the Carmel post office.

Unfortunately, their passport counter was closed, with no signs indicating hours of operation. So we stood in line. Again.

Seven minutes later, I learn it’s by appointment only, made by phone only. Fine. On the way home, I call the exact same post office in which I’d just been standing. Passports are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Not exactly convenient for people who have jobs. The nice man did suggest I try a different post office, which I did.

As I am pulling in to my driveway, I discover that if we can be in line at the Fishers PO by 12:30 p.m., we can get the application processed today. Woohoo! Back across town we go. We arrive at noon, but soon realize that we are missing a key component: a paper copy of his driver’s license.

There are still three people in front of us, so I dash back to the van and head to another Kinko’s. I make two wrong turns and get stuck behind an accident clean-up, but eventually get the damn copy and return to PO No. 2.

At precisely 12:35 p.m., we are called. We hand over his application, photo, driver’s license and copy, social security card and expired passport, as well as my driver’s license. “Birth certificate?” the lady asks.

Huh? “Ma’am, we need proof of his citizenship.” “But we have his old passport,” I say.

“Doesn’t count. Good day. Next!” And just like that, we are dismissed. No passport, no nothin’. I was in full sob mode even before we exited the building, and I cried the entire way home.

Stupid holidays. And stupid post offices.

Peace out.

Grumpy new man!

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My wife told me the other day that my New Year’s resolution for 2016 should be to stop being so negative and grouchy. humor But my humor columns are dependent on those very qualities.

I’ve made a career out of people mistaking my crankiness for wittiness.

I once protested to a couple of Girl Scouts that their cookies were too high in fat and that eating Samoas would shoot my lipids through the roof. Their mothers called and thanked me, saying this was a good health lesson for 9-year-olds. They must not have known I bought six boxes.

I complained about my neighbors’ unkempt lawns and their putting garbage out at the curb two days before trash pick-up. I whined about kids making a ruckus shooting hoops in their driveways on Sunday mornings. Instead of being annoyed, they made me president of the homeowners association.

I’m optimistic about 2016. I’ve already put together my top 10 list of stuff that makes me grumpy 1. I don’t want the clerk to keep asking me if I have a Speedy Rewards Card. I don’t.

2. I don’t want to buy something in a bag that says tear here. It doesn’t.

3. I don’t want tech guys telling me it’s as easy as plugging it in. It’s not.

4. I don’t my wife telling me I can learn to load the dishwasher correctly. I can’t.

5. I don’t want people asking me if I’m the guy who does the weather. I’m not.

6. I don’t want people asking me if my dog, Barney, is still alive. He’s not.

7. I don’t want telemarketers calling to ask if I would like to try a generic Lipitor made overseas. I wouldn’t.

8. I don’t want my wife asking me when I’m driving if I know where I’m going. I don’t.

9. And finally, number 10, just to show you that I don’t end everything on a negative note…

10. I don’t want someone on the phone asking if I mind holding. I DO!

Any Lab Test Now increases testing

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Any Lab Test Now, which provides a variety of lab testing including blood tests, sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy aids tests, allergy tests and much more, has seen an increase in their AIDS/ HIV testing.

Chuck Lehman, president of Westfield City Council and co-owner of the Fishers and Carmel locations of Any Lab Test Now, said that in the past year, there has been an increase of STD testing.

“We are a great resource for someone who just wants to know about their health,” Lehman said. “We would be a great resource for someone who wanted to check for an STD just so they know for self-protection. We don’t ask any questions, we simply say we can do the test, and then they can get the results anonymously.”

Lehman co-owns the two locations with his sister-in-law, Chris Suever.

Any Lab Test Now doesn’t prescribe medications for treatment, although they do have a list of trusted references they can provide patients with.

“HIV testing has risen within the last year,” Lehman said. “In this calendar year we have seen more interest and more activity in the entire range of sexual health tests across the board. We have seen an increased awareness.

Obviously right now there’s been more awareness brought to it because certain high profile people have let it be known that they have issues and concerns about what’s happening in their life.”

Any Lab Test Now does not take insurance

or offer payment plans. Lehman referred to his business as a “point of purchase,” but claimed that since they don’t work with insurance companies, they can keep their costs low.

They also have low test times, as Lehman said a typical STD test only takes 15 minutes.

“We offer a comprehensive STD panel. That includes eight different tests,” Lehman said.

The panel costs $229, which he said, by industry standards, is very reasonable.

Results usually arrive within three to five days and most can be emailed or faxed. AIDS results must be picked up in person.

“We are making a comfortable environment for people getting something done that they don’t necessarily look forward to getting done,” Lehman said. “We are open and friendly and people walk in here for all kinds of things.

People walk in here everyday and nobody knows what the other one is getting done.”

Any Lab Test Now is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Walk-ins are accepted.

Young Carmel actor Wray takes on ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Mitchell Wray likes being busy, but this schedule was hectic for even the 10-year-old Carmel resident. theater Fresh from completing his run as Michael Banks in the Civic Theatre’s production of “Mary Poppins” on Jan. 2, Mitchell began rehearsals for his role as Dill in the Indiana Repertory Theatre’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” a few days later. The performances will begin Jan. 29 and run through Feb. 28 on the OneAmerica Mainstage.

“It gets tiring,” Mitchell said. “Sometimes I wish I had a break, but it’s fun.”

It’s Mitchell’s choice to keep busy.

“We kept asking him if he was sure he wanted to do back-to-back shows,” his mother, Chauncie Wray, said.

His mother said her son plans take a break after “To Kill a Mockingbird.” There might be some auditions, but it will be for shows later in the year.

“I also like rock climbing, so I’ll do some of that afterwards,” Mitchell said.

For now, Mitchell is concentrating on what he describes as a challenging role.

“He’s a troublemaker,” Mitchell said of Dill.

“He does a lot of things he shouldn’t be doing. He’s like Scout’s sidekick. They do a lot of trouble-making stuff together. They’re very adventurous. They’re very curious about things.”

Mitchell said there are some similarities between this role and Michael Banks.

“I loved that, just like Dill, Michael is a troublemaker,” Mitchell said. “In the beginning, they are spoiled rotten, and they turn into the

best kids ever.”

Chauncie said he enjoys singing and dancing.

“He never had a dance lesson in his life,” she said.

Mitchell also was thrilled he got to fly on stage.

“That was on top of my bucket list, so check,” said Mitchell, who wore a harness under his jacket and shirt.

His mother said he sings while he is up in the air.

Mitchell appeared in his first movie “Cross-

roads of America,” which is now in post production. He also appeared in a short documentary about the Reynolds Farm Light Display.

Mitchell is joined in the “To Kill a Mockingbird” cast by another Carmel youngster.

Grayson Molin, 13, will play Jem Finch. Grayson began acting when he was 5 years old.

“It’s one of my new favorites,” Grayson said of the play. “I hadn’t read the book before. But when I got asked to do the role, I watched the old movie version of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ and I really liked it.”

Grayson performed as Henry Cratchit in “A Christmas Carol” and Jonas in “The Giver” in IRT productions last season. This season he performed as Ghost of Christmas Past and Peter Cratchit.

“We’re delighted to have Mitchell and Grayson with us in ‘Mockingbird.’ They’ve both played lead roles on IRT stages, so they are old pros,” said Janet Allen, IRT artistic director. “But the opportunity for them to take on the literary classic roles of Dill and Jem in ‘Mockingbird’ will hopefully be as much of a delight for them as it will be for our audiences.”

Carmel couple plans Food Fest

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Leslie Swathwood and her husband Jason have long wanted to hold a food show.

“We’ve been producing consumer shows for over 20 years,” Leslie entertainment Swathwood said.

“We’ve produced hundreds of consumer events. We just haven’t done this specific show. It’s something we’ve been researching and planning on it for at least three years.”

The Fantastic Food Fest will be held over 75,000 square feet of indoor space at the Indiana State Fairgrounds from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Jan. 16 and 17. The Swathwoods, who have lived in Carmel since 1998, are the owners of Circle City Expos.

“The food scene in greater Indianapolis has changed a lot,” Leslie said. “We finally feel it’s a place where not only the city in the greater area is ready, but the consumers are ready.

Food is very much in demand... We’re looking for people who have a great appreciation for trying different things. They want to cook at home. They want to entertain. They want to try new restaurants. They’re really looking to expand their knowledge.”

There will be 20 live demonstrations at the show.

Among the guests will be Ted Allen, a 1984 Carmel High School graduate who is the host of Food Network’s “Chopped.”

Hugh Atcheson, a judge on Top Chef, and Loreal Gavin, known as “The Butcher Babe,” will also be in attendance. Gavin, who works at Kincaid’s Meat Market in Indianapolis, has been a contestant on Food Network shows.

Indiana Grown serves as a presenting sponsor. Leslie said there will be more than 100 Indiana Grown members who will have exhibits and booths.

Adding color to your kitchen cabinets Commentary by David Decker Colorful cabinets are back in style and one of the most popular design trends. Don’t get us wrong, classic home interior white cabinets are still very popular and something clients frequently request. However, colorful hues in the kitchen are popping up more and more. Bright cabinets can really brighten up the space of your kitchen and can transform otherwise dated cabinetry.

Even just a painted island can liven up a space and add a new look to your kitchen.

Black cabinets are a color option that adds a serious look of sophistication. We’ve seen black gain popularity recently, especially in modern homes. These cabinets usually bring a glossy, formal finish to the room and compliment almost any other accent color.

Another popular interior color, gray, is also becoming more common on cabinets. Less traditional than white but also a neutral option, gray still allows for easy decorating and is available in a large variety of shades.

Another color to consider for cabinets is blue. This is a great option when looking to add a nautical or cottage feeling to your home. The list of blue hues available is end-

less and choosing one for the upper cabinets and a different for the lower cabinets can add interest you may not have had before.

Whatever your style, make your selection carefully. Colors especially seem to come in and out of style quickly, which makes it a little difficult to select a timeless look that features a lot of color. If you are choosing to implement colorful cabinets, you will want to make sure that it does not overpower the

Berlin’s Allied Museum collects and displays items from 1948 to 1990, when the city was divided between east and west. travel The museum’s most fascinating item reflects western espionage activities during the Cold War. The Allied Museum occupies the building and land of the U.S. Army’s “outpost” movie theater, used to entertain troops stationed in Berlin’s American sector until the troops left in 1994.

Located outside the main building are a number of large items from Berlin’s divided past, including an American guardhouse from Checkpoint Charlie, a British Hastings TG 503 airplane used during the Berlin airlift in 1948 and 1949 and a French railway car. A small section of the Berlin Wall stands in front of a concrete watch tower once used by East German border guards. Inside the museum are exhibits from Berlin’s Cold War history, including a display remembering President John Kennedy’s trip to West Berlin in 1963, when he famously declared: “Ich bin ein Berliner” (“I am a Berliner.”).

The museum’s largest enclosed exhibit is

a 22-foot long tube, about six feet in diameter. The metal tube once formed part of a 1,500-foot-long tunnel built by the American CIA and the British SIS in 1953 and 1954. The tunnel originated in the American sector of Berlin and extended east about 1,000 feet underground into the Soviet sector, intersecting 1,200 buried telephone lines. Beginning in 1955, American and British intelligence operatives intercepted more than 440,000 telephone conversations involving the Soviet military.

The interceptions stopped when Soviet intelligence discovered the tunnel in April 1956, creating an international controversy.

The refurbished tunnel section now in the Allied Museum came from the western segment, excavated in 1997. Remains of the eastern segment of the tunnel, discovered in a German forest about 100 miles from Berlin in 2012, are stored in a museum warehouse.
