Governor Mike Pence announced Dec. 29 that the state will invest an estimated $50 million to reconfigure the busy I-465/I-69 interchange on the northeast side of Indianapolis. roads The project is expected to ease congestion, improve safety and reduce travel time in the heavily traveled corridor used by more than 165,000 drivers each day.

“Significant growth in Noblesville, Fishers and the northeast side of Indianapolis has created the need to update our highway infrastructure in the area,” Pence said. ​The project will include b​uilding a high-speed, two-lane ramp for traffic exiting I-465 eastbound onto I-69 northbound. The new ramp would bridge over Binford Boulevard and I-465, while the existing low-speed loop ramp would remain for I-465 eastbound traffic exiting I-69 onto 82nd Street in Castleton. ​It will also include w​idening I-465 to four travel lanes in each direction between the White River bridge and I-69. In addition, two ramp lanes in each direction would run continuously between the I-69, Allisonville Road and Keystone Avenue interchanges for traffic entering and exiting the interstate.

INDOT expects to begin preliminary design of the project in 2016 with construction anticipated to begin in 2020.

Council approves ordinance amendments, rezone The Noblesville Common Council met Dec. 22 for its last meeting of 2015, approving several items. The next city common council meeting will take place at 7 p.m.

What happened: The council introduced an ordinance amending the October-adopted salary ordinance for appointed officials for the City of Noblesville for 2016.

Why it matters: Changes in the 2016 salary ordinance were made to accommodate changes in staff, particularly the change of the 2016 deputy mayor.

What happened: The council approved the 2016 agreement between the City of Noblesville and Firefighters Local 4416.

Why it matters: Between the two organizations, this agreement continues the working partnership that currently exists for the 2016 year.

What happened: The council approved an interlocal agreement with Hamilton Co. Parks for funding of the levee trail.

Why it matters: Noblesville Parks Director Brandon Bennett said the item was simply an agreement to allow Hamilton Co. to encumber funds they currently already of, amounting to approximately $25,000. He reiterated that the agreement was just that and that no city money was being spent.

Noblesville poets contribute to bicentennial book

By Zach Dunkin • news@currentnoblesville.com

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

One might think it would be a stretch for novelist Larry D. Sweazy to switch from writing award-winning Westerns to book writing mysteries. Not so, says the longtime Noblesville resident.

“Most all of my Westerns have really been mysteries or thrillers,” Sweazy said. “Plus, there’s usually a law enforcement element and a crime in most Westerns, so the proSweazy gression from one genre to the other was a natural evolution for me.”

With its release on Jan. 5, Sweazy’s “A Thousand Falling Crows” (Seventh Street Books) sees the author returning to a favorite subject, the Texas Rangers, the brave souls of his award-winning Josiah Wolfe, Texas Ranger Western series.

But instead of being set in the 1870s Wild West, this story takes place in the Depression Era 1930s, when gangsters like Bonnie and Clyde resorted to robbing banks to make a living.

“What I really wanted to explore was the vacuum Bonnie and Clyde left behind and the desperation of the Great Depression and Dust Bowl,” Sweazy said. “It all serves as a backdrop to my main character, Sonny Burton, as he finds a new way of living after losing his job and his right arm.”

This is Sweazy’s 11th published novel since 2009. His writing has won several awards, including the Western Writers of America Spur Award for Best Short Story of 2005 and Best Paperback Western Novel of 2013. He also won the Will Rogers Medallion Award in 2011 and 2012, and was honored with the Best Book of Indiana in 2011 for his Josiah Wolfe, Texas Ranger Western series.

Mary Couch and her 88-year-old mother Alice Couch, of Noblesville, combined with others on a collaborative poem on Indiana State Parks.

There were nine poets who contributed to the poem, including Marlene Million, another Noblesville resident.

The book was released Dec. 4 and there are 59 counties represented by poets. º“Since all poets have their own unique style, we worked to blend our voices together,” Mary said. “My mother and I found the experience a fun challenge and delighted in the finished poem.

Riverview Health CEO and President Pat Fox announces retirement

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Riverview Health’s roots date to 1909 in Noblesville. The hospital on the Riverview Health campus along cover story Westfield Road near the White River officially opened in May 1951, and now, nearly 55 years later, has grown to be a full-service healthcare organization, 15 years of which has been lead by President and CEO Pat Fox. Fox announced her retirement Dec. 28, which will end her 45-year career in the healthcare field.

Born and reared in Chicago, Fox says she started small.

“I started out as a nurse aid in a little, county hospital. I went to nursing school, and I’m still licensed as an RN,” she said. “I worked as a staff nurse up until 1985, when my husband (Steve) was transferred here. I was hired at Wishard (Hospital, now Eskenazi Hospital), started out as a manager and left as their vice president. I was recruited here as chief operating officer in the fall of 2000. The CEO that had been here for 16 years retired, so I kind of followed.”

Riverview Health’s quick and steady growth over the years has occurred in time with Fox’s leading role at the organization, of which she’s been an integral part.

“You know, when I started, Riverview was considered a small-town hospital,” she said.

“Since I’ve been here, from a facilities stand-

Family: Married, two grown children, two grandsons (ages 11 and 13) Education: “I went to nursing school at St. Mary’s on the north side of Chicago. Then I got my bachelor’s in public health administration from (Indiana University) and my master’s from St. Francis in Illinois.”

point, we’ve built the Women’s Pavilion. We’ve built a new emergency room. We’ve renovated almost every department in the hospital – med surg, radiology, the cardiology suites – so physically, we’ve changed a lot.”

Fox said when she started in 2000, there were six physicians working outside the hospital in offices around the county. Now, Riverview operates 55 facilities, 25 of which are nursing homes across the state.

“So 55 office locations, which is really why we rebranded ourselves Riverview Health, because we are much more of an outpatient care system than we are a hospital,” Fox said.

Fox said she believes it was Riverview’s start of its open-heart program in 2002 that spurred the amount of growth Noblesville and Hamilton and Tipton counties see today.

“It took a lot of coordination and really elevated the awareness of the hospital and its capabilities,” Fox said. So from that point on, we really have successfully had great clinical programs. I think we’re really well respected in the community.”

But overall, when looking back at her time at Riverview, Fox said, as a health organization, it’s the partnerships with the community that makes her most proud.

Under her leadership, Riverview Health has partnered with school districts in Noblesville and Westfield to help provide playground equipment, offer health services to employees and employ nurses within the schools and doctors for athletic teams. At the county level,

the organization provides health services to county employees. Other partnerships include Good Samaritan Network of Hamilton Co., Noblesville Main Street, various chambers of commerce within the county, Hamilton Co. Economic Development Corporation’s Invest in Hamilton County initiative and more.

“Our responsibility really is to partner with those community agencies,” she said.

Though she won’t be retiring until at least May, Fox says she will continue to lead initiatives in which she is already involved, two of which include the implementation of two outpatient care facilities – one in Westfield at U.S. 31 and Ind. 32 and the other at the main campus on Westfield Road in Noblesville. “(My retirement date) really is contingent upon when they find my successor. We have engaged B.E. Smith to do an external search.

It’s important to me that we find the right person to lead this organization,” she said.

“There’s a lot of work that we’re doing in building new facilities outside the hospital, so (the May retirement) helps me get those projects far enough along before turning the keys over to someone else.”

What’s next?

After retiring, Fox said she has ideas about what she wants to do with her time but doesn’t plan on leaving Noblesville.

“I’ll continue to serve on boards where it’s appropriate for me to,” Fox said. “I’m a marathoner, and I started running the same year

“Pat has been an active member of Vision Noblesville and other organizations to improve the community. She has made health care in Noblesville and Hamilton County better through her leadership Ditslear and expansion of Riverview Health. I wish her the best in her future endeavors.”

John Ditslear, City of Noblesville mayor ••• “Pat Fox has had a tremendous impact on Riverview Health, courageously leading us through many transitions in healthcare over the last two decades. We’re thankful for her countless contributions to our organization, and we’re proud of her distinguished tenure as president and CEO.” Greg Murray, Riverview Health Board of Trustees chairman ••• “Pat Fox and Riverview Health have been supporters of Noblesville Main Street and our mission for several years as well as wonderful hosts for our Farmers Market. Pat’s consistent vision and Owens leadership by example have shaped health care in our county and undoubtedly left the organization in a position for continued growth. We’ve seen Pat at our Farmers Market and events for years and hope this will continue in the future. Additionally, Pat was instrumental in helping to keep our Music & All That Jazz series as a vibrant feature of downtown. On behalf of our Executive Committee and Board of Directors, we wish Pat all the best.”

Chris Owens, Noblesville Main Street executive director

that I took this job. I had never run before in my life. I ran (the) Boston Marathon last year, so it’s kind of like that’s what I’ve worked all those years for, to do that. I’ve hit my peak there, and I’ve hit my peak here. So, (retirement) will allow me to continue to run. My husband’s been retired for three years. We have plans to travel and do things like that, but we’ve just built a new home in Noblesville, so we plan to stay in this community and be as involved as we can.”

Start good eating habits early Commentary by Andy Dillingham, DO Helping your children establish (and hopefully maintain) good eating habits means starting early, introFamily ducing nutritious foods, modeling good eating behavior and maintaining a home environment that reinforces a healthy lifestyle.

When it comes to healthy eating, it is important to recognize there are a wide range of parenting styles and many acceptable ways to help kids get the nutrition they need and provide motivation to make good choices. The key is to find what works for your family and to foster an environment where your children have access to healthy foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean protein.

It is critical that mealtime not be a struggle for the parent or the child. It is a parent’s job to provide a healthy (and hopefully delicious) meal. It is a child’s choice whether to eat it. The most important thing is to continue offering healthy alternatives, encouragement and reasons why eating a variety of healthy foods will

help him or her grow up to be healthy and strong. When parents start introducing healthy foods early, children are more likely to accept them. Other strategies include eating meals together as a family and serving as a good role model when snacking at home and when ordering at restaurants. If your child sees you making good choices, he or she is likely to follow your lead. Children that embrace healthy habits at a young age are more likely to continue them into adulthood.

Given the wealth of information on raising children (both good and bad) at our fingertips, it is important to use reliable resources. One way to obtain good information is to ask your primary care physician.

I often refer my patients to the websites choosemyplate.gov and healthychildren.org to provide additional guidance.

Home sales up 6.9 percent Commentary by Jim Litten F.C. Tucker Company reports central Indiana home sales are up 6.9 percent year to date, compared to real estate the same time period last year. On a monthly basis, November’s pended home sales in the nine-county region declined 9.6 percent overall. This dip was most noticeable in counties to the north than counties to the south; however, available inventory in the region was also down 6.2 percent compared to last year.

Hamilton County saw an 11.3 percent decline in inventory while the average yearto-date sale price for the county climbed 3.4 percent to $277,124.

• In Noblesville, the average year-to-date home sale price rose 4.1 percent compared to this time last year, increasing to $230,642.

• Inventory moved at a slightly faster pace in Noblesville in November 2015.

Overall, homes sold in 60 days – six fewer days than this time last year.

• Buyers in Noblesville had 320 homes

available for sale last month, which is five fewer homes available than in November 2014.

• Pended home sales have slipped in Noblesville. In November 2015, 83 homes sold – a decline of three homes compared to November 2014.

• Of the pended home sales in Noblesville last month, 10 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 24 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 44 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and five were priced at $99,999 or less.

Five years ago at this time, central Indiana’s pended home sales were down more than 10 percent for the year, and the average home sale price was $150,130. Now, we’re closing in on 30,000 homes sold year to date, instead of the approximately 20,000 homes in 2010, and prices are nearly $35,000 higher.

Dispatches What to do with your holiday bonus – It might go without saying that a little extra cash flow at the holidays is welcome. But what’s a responsible way to handle the extra money and not blow it all at once? One idea is to divvy it up into thirds. Use one third for the past (such as paying off a debt), one third for the future (such as in savings or an investment) and one third for the present (a fun purchase or home improvement project). This system can be applied to any “extra” money you might receive, well beyond the holidays. Source: Reader’s Digest Networking event at District Tap – Who are you? It is a simple question that can be hard to answer. It goes beyond your name, where you were born, where you live, where you work, or who you are related to. Every person is a synergistic entity whose very being is a complex construction of experiences, personality, aspirations and achievements. It takes a closer look at yourself to sometimes uncover the very essence of who you are. Come to a networking event on Feb. 18 for a better idea of your deeper self. A few hours of answering questions about yourself and asking questions about others around you will help you start to bring who you are into focus.

2016 resolutions

FROM THE BA C KSHOP

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The bottleneck will be no more This is one government expense we welcome, as we’re sure our readers in Noblesville, Fishers and Geist did. Last week, Gov. Mike Pence said Indiana would invest $50 million to reconfigure the busy I-465/I-69 interchange/nightmare. It’s about time. INDOT says the project will ease congestion, improve safety and reduce travel time in the heavily traveled corridor used by more than 165,000 drivers each day. It’s another step in modernizing our state’s infrastructure.

The only thing that could top it, we believe, is turning I-465 into an inner belt and creating an outer belt 15 to 20 miles beyond it. As growth continues – and there are no signs it will abate, thankfully – a farther-out artery would make all wheels turn easier well into the future. For more, visit www.in.gov/indot.

••• We don’t “get” a lot of things, and this certainly is among them: Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was spending time last week ripping Donald Trump (R-Billions) and trying to filch as many of Trump’s working middle-class supporters as he could. Last we checked, this liberalism-intoxicated candidate should be going after Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) if he wants to gain the Democratic Party’s nomination for the November general election. There clearly is a load of fodder there, were he to avail himself of it.

Safe passage Commentary by Terry Anker So, Old Man Time has surrendered. Baby New Year has ascended to the throne.

Another year has come; and, yes, still one more has gone. In medieval Europe, a crier would announce the end of reign for one king by declaring his death with the proclamation of the emergence of the following: “The King is dead. Long live the King!”

As a youngster fascinated with stories of Arthur and the chivalrous knights of the round table, the concept flummoxed me.

How could we celebrate the end of one leader with the inauguration of another?

Perhaps it is the wisdom of advancing age, but it makes a bit more sense now.

They were not “rejoicing” in the demise but instead in the peaceful transition from one leader to the next. The crier was reassuring the people of kingdom that, in spite of the loss, we could expect safe and steady passage.

We knew what we had. It may not have been perfect, but we understood and found

comfort there. The future, whether we are optimists or pessimists, is always a bit less clear. What can we expect in this new and unknown year to come? Will it improve our lives and be remembered as the rule of a tremendous and benevolent time? Or, will it challenge us with heartbreak and hardship, only to bring our disdain and ache for its quick passage? Who knows? But, the proclamation has come. The year is gone.

Long live the New Year. In it we invest our hopes, loyalty and good wishes. In it, we pray for joy over sadness, health over infirmity and prosperity over poverty.

All that can be affirmatively claimed is that we have been securely conveyed into the New Year. And, as it presents its opportunities and challenges, they are ours to confront.

Q U OTE OF THE WEEK If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.

– Andrew Carnegie

I made it! I survived the Christmas madness in one piece, and there was only one moment when I thought I might go Cherhumor nobyl on the fam. Low expectations, my friends. I planned for the worst and was pleasantly surprised by the results. With that thought in mind, here are my 2016 resolutions.

1. Write an article about New Year’s resolutions. I bailed on this last year because of the pressure such a list creates. But look at me now! One NYR done!

2. I’ve mentioned a few times that I’d like to attempt a Half Ironman, but that’s just crazy talk. So my underachieving goal for this year will be to beat my brother-in-law in any race, preferably a 2K walk. I’m gunning for you, Scotty J.!

3. I’d like to be less insane about my bedtime. Santa was nice enough to bring me sleeper headphones, a cotton band with embedded soft speakers. I should be able to plug directly into a “Sounds of Nature” meditation playlist and never again hear my children or husband as they annoyingly stomp around downstairs pressing microwave buttons and slamming cabinet doors. I’m not expecting a miracle, so I’ll back everything up with a mask, sound machine and my patented pillow-burrowing maneuver.

God rest ye merry mother.

4. I’ve fallen in to a bad habit of waiting until the last minute to write this column. Somehow the weekly missive continues to tank on the priority list, especially when pit against dance competitions and bathroom breaks. Therefore, in 2016, I pledge to at least begin writing two days prior to my deadline. Seeing as this particular piece is being composed 24-hours post, I’m going to lower my goal to one day. Wish me luck.

5. And finally, for this upcoming New Year, I hope to get on board with a family budget. Maybe it’s my recent holiday spending spree, but my financial anxiety has skyrocketed over the past month.

No. More. Wire. Transfers. EVER! Happy New Year! I’d encourage you to lower all expectations to make 2016 one big pleasant surprise. Peace out!

Two veteran actors play seven roles in ‘The Mystery of Irma Vep’

By Zach Dunkin • news@currentnoblesville.com

Rob Johansen and Marcus Truschinski say they are ready for “The Mystery of Irma Vep.” Is the audience at Indiana Repertory Theatre ready for Johansen and Truschinski?

The two veteran actors will play seven theater different characters, including a lovable werewolf and an Egyptian mummy, in Charles Ludham’s campy play Jan. 12 through Feb. 14 on the IRT’s Upperstage The duo will complete more than 30 quickchange costume transformations, designed by IRT Costume Shop Manager Guy Clark.

“It’s a simple matter of mathematics,” explained IRT playwright-in-residence James Still, who is directing the play.

“When you go back stage and they put you in that particular costume, you know who you are supposed to be.”

Truschinski says the actor’s mind is constantly switching back and forth, character to character to character.

“It’s like the high-wire act that we all want to do as actors,” said Truschinski, who jumped at the chance to reprise a role he had not done since college. “You are going without a net, and when you fall, you fall off badly.”

Is there the occasional misstep in lines? Of course, Johansen said.

“Part of the fun for an audience is recognizing that mistake and saying, ‘I think they screwed up there,’” he said.

“But if something goes wrong, you can go ‘Oh, no!’ or you can go ‘This could be fun.’ Often, if there is a hiccup, that can be an opportunity for something wonderful.”

Part satire, part comedy, part horror, the two-hour play is set in Mandacrest, England, the home of Lord Edgar, an Egyptologist, and Lady Enid, his second wife. Lord Edgar has not recovered from the passing of his first wife, Irma Vep. He blames a werewolf for the death of Irma, who is later discovered by Enid (also attacked by a vampire) locked away in a cell. What follows is an expedition to Egypt in search of the secrets of immortality and a series of hysterical revelations.

In addition to playing Lady Enid, Johanson plays a groundskeeper/werewolf named Nicodemus Underwood, Lord Edgar’s Egyptian guide Alcazar and Egyptian princess Pev Amri,

while Truschinski portrays Lord Edgar, the saucy housemaid Jane Twisden and an intruder.

In order to ensure cross-dressing, licenses to perform this play include a stipulation that the actors must be of the same sex. The show requires a large number of sound cues, props, special effects and quick costume changes. With the help of costumes held together with Velcro and magnets, two dressers will make the magic happen backstage.

“Some of the changes will happen in less than 15 seconds,” Trushchinski said. “You go off stage through one door as one character, come to a station where they rip everything off to a costume underneath, or they put something else on you and then you walk back through another door as another character.”

Truschinski is a full-time actor at the American Players Theatre near his home town of Spring Green, Wis. IRT visitors may recall his role as Sherlock Holmes in last season’s “The Hound of Baskervilles.” Indianapolis resident Johansen teaches acting in the Dept. of Theater and Drama at IUPUI and has appeared in 42 roles at the IRT over the past 20 years.

Truschinski actually has done “Irma Vep” as an undergrad student studying theater 15 years ago at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Although Johansen has never done “Irma Vep,” he has played multiple characters as one of the Clowns in “39 Steps” at the IRT in 2011.

“There are about 60 characters in that one, with only four people in the cast,” Johansen said. “One man plays the leading man, a woman plays three or four roles, then the two clowns play everybody else. I feel like this (“Irma Vep”) is of a similar ilk; it’s like ‘39 Steps’ without the two leading people – just two idiot clowns like us running around.”

“The most fun part about the play for me is that it is live,” Truschinski said. “It is happening. Now.”

The Mystery of Irma Vep Where: Indiana Repertory Theatre Upperstage, 140 W. Washington St. When: Jan. 12 through Feb. 14. (Previews Jan. 12-14).

Last spring, volunteers from the RussianAmerican Culture and Education Center and School in Carmel held a fundraising festival brimming with ethnic food, culture arts and crafts by Russian artisans, Russian music, ballet and folk dance. Organizers were expecting no more than 400-500 people. Three times that amount showed up.

“We ran out of food … we ran out of items to sell … it was very hectic,” said Natalia Rekhter, the center’s executive director. “We didn’t know what we were doing, but we made a little money, and it was very successful” It was so successful that people began flooding Rekhter’s email and the center’s Facebook site with requests to hold, not only

another festival in the spring, but an event in the winter.

“So, we decided to do a Winter Ball,” Rekhter said. “And we still don’t know what we are doing! But we’re all very passionate and excited about it. We know it will be a lot of fun and for a good cause.”

Money raised will go to expanding education offerings at the school and “to a program to help people to integrate into a U.S. life better,” Rekhter said, who estimated there is a community of 3,000 Soviet Union natives living in Central Indiana.

Roasted veggie sandwich platter Commentary by Ceci Martinez Don’t you love winter Fridays? There is nothing better than to kick back with a glass of wine in front of the fireplace with no agenda in mind except dinner. Take a break from Friday’s pizza, and put to good use all the vegetables left in your fridge from the week.

Roasted Vegetable Sandwich is so simple to prepare; delicious, healthy and colorful. You can even serve it as a tray with the bread surrounding the veggies. Kick off the New Year with some healthy foods like this!

Note: There is plenty of room to experiment! You can use Ciabatta, French sourdough baguette or whole-grain rolls. Use your favorite spread: pesto, mayonnaise or no spread at all!

Serves: 4 to 6 Here is a selection of vegetables: 1 small eggplant, thinly sliced into rounds, Handful asparagus, cut in halves, 2 Portobello mushrooms, sliced, Handful cremini mushrooms, cut in quarters, 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut in sliced, 1 medium red onion, sliced, 3 cloves garlic, with skin, Handful Kalamata olives or green olives (optional), olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, watercress (you can also use arugula or spinach), fresh mozzarella (optional)

Roasted veggie sandwich platter works great for New Year’s parties. (Photo by Ceci Martinez)

Directions: Preheat oven to 375F. In a large baking pan, toss vegetables with olive oil.

Season with salt and pepper. Roast vegetables, stirring occasionally, until tender and starting to brown, about 25 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. Hollow out the center of each side of the bread. Brush sliced bread with a little oil, cover with a slice of mozzarella and toast. To assemble, spread both sides lightly with your choice of spread. Carefully lay roasted vegetables mixture and arrange watercress on bottom layer.

Blueprint for Improvement: Creating a magazine-worthy basement Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to achieve a magazine-worthy basement for entertaining with Western style.

1. A large booth was crafted near the pool table as a built-in seating space for guest entertainment.

2. A new bar with reclaimed wood and accent lighting added an additional area for the family and guests to socialize.

3. The new stone fireplace with a mounted TV above, serves as a focal point at the end of the space.

4. The separate workout space was finished to match the rest of the basement style.

5. Finishing touches such as the sliding barn door, industrial light fixtures, and new cabinetry increased functionality.

6. The rustic ceiling treatment, wood flooring, and painted trim finished the Western basement perfectly.

Before Background Info: Located in the Woods at Lions Creek neighborhood in Carmel, this home was built in 2013. For these West-originating homeowners, the basement wasn’t quite feeling like home yet.

Before problems: This previously typical basement lacked the exciting and functional space the homeowners wished for, with the same Western finesse as they were accustomed to in their former hometown. Their basement needed to be more efficiently space-planned, while also adding some cozy finishing touches.

Interior of Pantheon in Rome (Photo by Don Knebel)

Rome’s heavenly dome Commentary by Don Knebel The largest unreinforced dome in the world is also the oldest. Most Americans unknowingly see the lasting influence of travel this extraordinary achievement of Roman architects every day.

In about 126 A.D., Roman Emperor Hadrian completed a temple on the spot where tradition said Romulus, Rome’s mythical founder, had ascended to the heavens, the domain of the gods. The building comprised a dometopped cylindrical rotunda entered through a colonnaded Greek-style portico. The 142-foot diameter of the spherically-shaped dome duplicated its height, so if the dome were turned upside down, its top would touch the floor.

The self-supporting dome was made entirely of concrete, decreasing in both thickness and density further toward the top. The apex of the dome was open, creating a 27-foot diameter oculus ringed in bronze.

Hadrian named the temple “Pantheon,” meaning “all the gods.” The underside of the dome symbolized the heavens. Light streaming through the oculus on sunny days progressed around the polished marble interior.

Drain pipes along the perimeter of the floor collected rainwater falling through the oculus.

Niches along the curved walls held statues of Roman gods and emperors.

Brunelleschi, who designed the famous dome of the Florence Cathedral in the 15th century, was inspired by the Pantheon, which had become a church in 609. But the secrets of the Pantheon’s design had long been forgotten, so Brunelleschi was forced to use reinforcing chains in his similarly-sized dome. When Michelangelo saw the Pantheon in about 1500, its unreinforced dome still intact, he declared its design the work of angels.

Michelangelo and Brunelleschi were not alone in admiring Rome’s Pantheon. Thomas Jefferson mimicked its design for the Rotunda at the University of Virginia. The Pantheon also inspired the domed center section of Jefferson’s home at Monticello, which has been on the reverse of all nickels since 1938.

One of those days?
