Meet your teacher: Traci Schaefer Grade/school/subject: 4th grade at White River Elementary Special professional accomplishments/ experiences: I’m very proud to have been a member of the Noblesville Teachers’ Forum my whole career. I have served as a building representative, vice president of membership and I am currently serving as treasurer. I am also very excited to serve as the Project Lead the Way lead teacher for White River (Elementary).

Why you became a teacher: I honestly believe that the desire to become a teacher started in elementary school. I had so many fabulous teachers. My fifth grade teacher, Dave Welch, stands out as the most influential. He made learning such a memorable and empowering experience. I continued to have a positive learning experience as I continued through my years. I also had a love of working with children. It seemed like a natural choice to become a teacher. I want my students to have the same love of school that I had growing up.

Goals for your students: My goal is to help prepare my students with 21st century skills. They need learning skills such as collaboration and communication. They need media and information literacy skills. They also need life skills, such as flexibility and initiative.

I also truly want to foster a life-long love of learning, and my main goal is to help them to simply, “Be Nice and Work Hard.” That Schaefer is our motto in 4th grade this year!

What advice would you give for parents: I would advise parents to be involved. Check your child’s backpack. Check the school website, and read emails from the teachers. Encourage your students to complete their work to the best of their ability and complete it on time. If they are struggling with school, teach them how to go to their teacher for help.

What makes Noblesville Schools special: I am a proud graduate and employee of this school system. I lived in another school system when my children were younger, and I did everything I could to move back to Noblesville so that my children could attend school here. I am impressed on a daily basis with how hard our teachers work and how much they care. I feel we are small enough to still have a small community atmosphere but big enough to offer many varied classes, sports and extra-curricular activities. I love working for Noblesville, and I am proud that my kids will all be Noblesville graduates, too!

Choosing change in 2016

Commentary by Kristen Boice

People often want to know how to change someone else. They want to know what to say or do to get someone counseling to “see” what they need to change. The painful truth is you can’t change anyone else. You can only change you. It starts with getting honest with you and stepping into courage.

Making a change is a brave choice to look within and do the work to begin healing. If we continue recreating the same patterns, nothing will change. Working on yourself is the most empowering work you will do. It can begin with some basic steps.

1. Get clear about what you want to change. Ask yourself some key questions. What do you want in your life?

What do you want to be different? What do you need to heal from the past so you can live in the present? How do you want to feel? What do you need?

2. Explore your expectations of yourself and others. Expectations most often

will lead to disappointment and hurt.

They can sabotage the change process.

3. Identify your daily practices. Write out what your daily practices are going to be in order to maintain the change.

For example, you might say three things you are grateful for, journal, pray, walk ten minutes each day, set boundaries and reach out to a friend.

4. Build a strong support network. Work on building positive and supportive relationships.

It’s a sign of strength when we can ask for help. Isolating will often keep us feeling stuck.

5. Don’t give up. Sometimes we take two steps forward and then a few steps back. You matter. You are worth it. Keep doing the work. It will pay off. Breaking old patterns takes time and commitment. Practice self-compassion.

You can only change you. It starts with getting honest with you and stepping into courage.

Lap-band surgery turns county public safety official’s health around

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carl Erickson knew he had to do something to turn his health around for both himself and his family. cover story The 6-foot-8 Erickson was closing in on 400 pounds and needed a cane and walker at times to get around because of knee problems.

“In one month, I had 27 injections in my back just to stop the pain,” said Erickson, the deputy director for Hamilton Co. Emergency Management, based in Noblesville. “They couldn’t fix it. They said the only thing that was going to fix it is if you lose all that front weight because your body isn’t designed to carry that.”

So Erickson chose to have lap band surgery in August 2013 through Community Health Network. The lap band is an adjustable silicone band placed around the top part of the stomach during a surgical procedure to treat obesity by reducing the amount of food consumed.

“Even today there (are) times when I’m bored or stressed, I think, ‘I could eat a whole pizza right now,’” Erickson said. “Then I know, ‘No, you can’t eat a whole pizza right now.’ It keeps me in check. Food is totally different to me now – it’s fuel.”

Erickson, a 46-year-old Cicero resident, now weighs 240 pounds.

“The pain and not being able to interact with my kids was the driving force that I had to do something,” said Erickson, who is married with two daughters. “I couldn’t go for walks and get on the floor and play with them. I could get on the floor, but I couldn’t get back up.”

It was affecting his work as well, because he said the only thing that would stop the pain was heavy-duty pain medication, which he couldn’t take on the job.

“I couldn’t take (medication) driving a county vehicle,” Erickson said. “The only time I could take it was when I was home. I took it to help me cope and deal with it. It wasn’t a good lifestyle. I wasted so many years. Now I’m able to go to work, concentrate and stay on my feet. I feel like I’m a better employee.”

With the lap band, he was down as low as 217 pounds in 2014, but found that he looked too gaunt at that weight. A simple adjustment to the lap band allowed Erickson to eat a little

more before he felt full.

A year before his surgery, Erickson saw Dr. Keith McEwen, medical director for Community’s Outpatient Bariatrics at Hamilton Surgery Center in Noblesville, about the lap band surgery for the first time, but then backed out.

“I don’t know if it was fear, but I thought I was going to do this on my own,” Erickson said.

During that next year, he gained 20 more pounds.

Erickson realized he needed help and returned to Dr. McEwen.

In November, Community Health Network recently McEwan marked its 10th anniversary of conducting lap band surgeries.

Before and after Erickson’s surgery. (Submitted photo)

“I’ve really focused on doing this adjustable band ever since as an option in place of gastric bypass and gastric sleeve, the more mainstream procedures,” McEwen said. “This was attractive to me because of the safety, and it’s fully revisable. Other things could come along in 10 years and the band could be removed at that point. The surgery to me is somewhat of a minor thing. It’s a big thing for the patient, but it’s a fairly minor procedure.

We’ve had no mortalities in 10 years of doing these.”

McEwen said in the first year after the surgery there are monthly follow-ups to help people adjust to the lifestyle changes.

“The bands are adjustable, as far as tightening the band mainly to control hunger,” McEwen said. “Food still tastes good (after the

surgery). But you are going to eat a smaller portion.”

Previously worked for the Hamilton Co. Sheriff’s Dept. as a corrections officer for five years, reaching the rank of sergeant. Had also been a volunteer and then a part-time, paid firefighter in Cicero. Erickson and wife, Melody, have two daughters, Layla, 3, and Allie, 1.

What is you favorite thing to do to relax with family: “Going for walks and going to the park. That’s our favorite thing to do. I’m able to be engaged and participate.”

Whose story ‘rings’ truest?

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it stuck us that there are true, overthe-top romantics in our midst. By that, we mean gents that do more than the old getdown-on-one-knee deal to beg/propose. (We do that simply to get the TV remotes from our spouses, by the way.) Some guys really go all out, expand the boundaries of creativity and really stretch to propose to what they hope will be their bride-to-be. And so in recognition of those that really know how to push the envelope in this category, we’ve created The Most Romantic Marriage Proposal contest. Every couple has a unique story, as no two are alike, but we (and our readers) want to know what over-the-moon proposal you offered or, in the case of a bride, was presented to you.

The grand-prize winner, as determined by online voting Jan. 27 through Feb. 1 at www. youarecurrent.com, will be awarded a John Hardy limited edition, pink-sapphire bracelet, courtesy of Moyer Fine Jewelers. The first runner-up will have dinner for two on the house at Prime 47-Carmel, and the second runner-up will win a $100 gift card from Kroger of Carmel to use on flowers, chocolates or, perhaps, ingredients for a romantic, home-cooked meal.

(Thank you, sincerely, sponsors!) All submissions will be posted, and then we’ll let our readers decide who wins what. Send your story to our editorial director, Sophie Pappas, at sophie@youarecurrent.com. The winners and their respective entries will be announced and published in the Feb. 9 edition of Current.

We’re eagerly anticipating the submissions to see who really has the corner on creativity.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Good enough Commentary by Terry Anker When is good enough, well, good enough? Every one of us holds an internal standard that allows us to call an assigned task complete. Some will obsess over every detail to a point of absurdity well beyond any hoped for return on the effort. Others will walk away with the job better described as half-started than as half-done. Is there a benchmark that we can identify to measure a duty finished?

Some of us come to know the principle outlined in software development (I’d argue that it applies to almost any start-up organization or nascent product) that the work is done when a consumer market decides enough value is created by the invention in its currently “incomplete” form to justify its cost and to therefore buy it. To continue to expend resources that do not increase the value to the customer in proportion to the required increase in price is bad business.

It seems simple enough.

Yet in our personal lives, so many of us obsess over the minutia of our daily

routines, ever mired in detail and “improvements” that could scarcely show a return in the quality of living were we to be around in 1,000 years. Don’t misunderstand.

Excellence matters. We exist in a competitive world with an ever increasing interpretation of perfection. But, are we deploying our attentions to the specifics that matter to those that we care about around us?

Or, are we indulging in our own vanity in assuming that “our” perfection will suit anyone else?

It is a thorny challenge. Seeking distinction through hard-work and innovation is virtuous. We should celebrate it. But also, knowing when to stop expending resources on something that is ostensibly as good as it is going to get, likewise, is virtuous.

The trick is to reconcile the two.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK A man’s character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation.

– Mark Twain

Get your mooches up, people! Football may be winding down but competitive dance is just getting started. Woot, humor woot! Yes, it’s true. I’ve reached the point in every dance mom’s life where she actually looks forward to the dressing room drama, the bedazzled bootie shorts and the crazy cacophony of hundreds of tween-agers yelling “Nail it, Kaylie!”

How did this happen? Believe me, I ask myself this question daily. I’m not particularly girly, nor did I grow up in this world of jazz hands and faux Kardashian lashes. I’d always dreamed of watching my kids from the basketball stands or natatorium seats, or even the frozen tundra of soccer sidelines. Never, at least up until three years ago, had I imagined I’d be packing Dream Duffels full of sequenced costumes and make-up remover, fishnet tights and bun makers and heading off to local hotels for 36-48 hours of dance competition. And happily, I might add.

In truth, my first year of wading through contemporary marshland with my youngest daughter was almost my last. The time, the money, the stupid judges . . . and all for watching my precious little angel on stage for maybe seven minutes, total. I could barely handle it. But she clearly has a passion for this, and I could easily see that behind the occasional tears and forgotten bling earrings, she was learning grace and confidence and how to persevere under pressure. Big stuff for an 11-year-old.

And I’ve improved, too, especially in the coping arena. I’ve learned how to squash my sometimes critical but always competitive nature and focus instead on how much fun she is having and the wonderful friendships she is making. I also know that, with the right attitude, a good book and a pair of high-quality ear plugs, the weekends can be rather pleasurable.

So get ready for some unbelievable tales of tacky parenting and outrageous toddlers, my friends, for rarely does a dance season disappoint. And you can count on me to deliver the juice freshly squeezed as I dive headfirst into the crazy. Can’t wait! Peace out.

ATI breaks from normal fare by presenting ‘Sweeney Todd’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

This performance comes with a warning: this is not your normal Actors Theatre of Indiana fare. cover “We’re known for more uplifting and light-hearted shows,” said Don Farrell, one of the ATI founders, along with Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins. “People walk away with a little tap in their step.”

That’s not likely to be the case with “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.”

“This one has very mature themes. It could be even considered an R-rated show,” Farrell said.

No nudity, Farrell assured, but it is the tale of a murderous barber bent on revenge.

“It’s a musical thriller,” Farrell said. “Stephen Sondheim has to be one of the most brilliant writers, really ever.”

Farrell will play the title character.

“It’s a dream role for almost every male actor,” Farrell said. “If you ask actors, ‘What are your dream roles?’ nine times out of 10, Sweeney Todd will be listed among those roles for any actor on the musical theater stage.”

Farrell previously performed in “Sweeney Todd” twice before as Anthony Hope in two other productions. “‘Sweeney Todd’ is very rich with layers and layers of subplots,” Farrell said. “You could make an entire college course just analyzing this musical.”

Collins, who will play the beggar woman, is also major Sondheim fan.

“Sondheim is probably one of the most brilliant composers of the 20th and 21st century,” Collins said. “His shows are extremely difficult and complex and a challenge. For an actor, it’s wonderful to do a Sondheim show because of the challenge and the great satisfaction of getting over those hurdles.

“I can’t emphasize enough how special it

is for actor to do a Sondheim show. You don’t see a lot of Sondheim shows around here because his work is so complex and so difficult that some theater companies don’t want to do it; they don’t think the audiences will understand it. ‘Sweeney Todd’ is in the top five of the greatest musicals ever written.”

This is Richard J Roberts’ fourth time directing a show with ATI. He previously directed “My Fair Lady,” “The 39 Steps” and “The Musical of Musicals.”

“It’s definitely a challenging and complicated show and one that doesn’t get done very often for that reason,” Roberts said. “The fact that we’re doing it with a small cast of 11 is part of that challenge. Sondheim music is more complicated than average music. It’s also more beautiful and exciting than the av-

erage music.”

Roberts is confident the talented cast will pull it off.

“They’ve put a lot of work in on their own, so they arrived the first day of rehearsal really well prepared,” Roberts said. “We have some really talented high school kids. That’s one of the things that I’m most excited about.

When they first contacted me about directing the show, I said I wanted to have actual kids playing the kids, which people don’t normally do. We found these amazingly talented high school kids. So I’m really thrilled they are part of the show.”

The three high school students appearing in the show are Franklin Community junior Caleb Wertz (Tobias Ragg), Crawfordsville senior Elizabeth Hutson (Johanna) and Herron junior

Johnna Tavianini, an assistant professor of musical theatre voice at Ball State University, will provide the musical direction.

“She has taken a score that is usually done with a 20-person orchestra and scaled it down to five,” Farrell said.

TOTS to present ‘Skylight’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The decision to present “Skylight” was easy for Theatre on the Square Artistic Director Lori Raffel. theater “Theatre on the Square chose ‘Skylight’ for one reason: Bill Simmons,” Raffel said. “I have watched Bill on stage in Indy theatre for years and worked with him at the Phoenix Theatre. He is a treasure, and the opportunity to work with him was just too wonderful to pass up. He brought with him Gari Williams to direct, and that clinched the deal.”

Simmons performed at TOTS for several years, then moved on to Phoenix Theatre, Indiana Repertory Theatre and others.

The play will run on weekends from Jan. 22 to Feb. 13 at the Christel DeHaan Main Stage.

“Skylight,” written by top British playwright David Hare, won the 2015 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play.

Other cast members include Sarah McGee and Tyler Ostrander. McGee, who lives in Carmel, is making her TOTS debut. Raffel is a board member of Carmel Community Players and has directed there for nearly 10 years.

McGee has been in several productions that Raffel directed at CCP at Clay Terrace.

17777 Commerce Dr. Westfield, IN 317.399.7918 timsshootingacademy.com Bill Simmons (who plays Tom), Sarah McGee (who plays Kyra) and Tyler Ostrander (who plays Edward) will be on stage in “Skylight.” (Submitted photo)

The plot revolves around Kyra Hollis (McGee) receiving two unexpected visitors at her London home: first the boy she used to nanny (Ostrander), then from his father and her exlover, Tom Sergeant (Simmons), a successful restaurateur whose wife has recently died.

The two attempt to rekindle their once passionate relationship, only to find themselves locked in a battle of opposing ideologies and mutual desires.

“I hope that people take away from this play that even when the circumstances are stacked against you, there can be second chances for all of us,” Raffel said.

Blustery day? Enjoy these soups Commentary by Anna Skinner

winter

Being in the throes of winter, there isn’t anything much more comforting than sitting in a

clam chowder

warm restaurant to get out of those winter winds and enjoying a nice, steaming bowl of soup. I made it my mission to tour Hamilton Co. and search for the best, soul-warming soups offered by local restaurants.

Is it ADD or a vision problem?

Clam chowder from Langton’s in Carmel.

(Photos by Anna Skinner) Get it at Langton’s, Carmel First up is Langton’s clam chowder. The chowder was served piping hot and there was no often common problem of too much potato and not enough clams. The chowder was dense and heavy enough to be a meal if so decided. Not only was the soup phenomenal, but the option of ordering it in a rosemary bread bowl made in house awarded this the perfect winter choice. The bowl had a nice, baked crust on the exterior, with plenty of airy bread on the inside to absorb the chowder.

Braised beef chowder

Tomato basil soup from Rosie’s Place in Noblesville.

Get it at Rosie’s Place, Noblesville Being winter, tomato soup is a favorite of cold and sleepy people. Rosie’s Place offers a variety of homemade soups each day. The day I happened to wander in, their soup of the day was tomato basil. The soup was the perfect blend between thin and thick with just the right portion of tomato chunks. I slurped it down without waiting for the steam to abide, it was that good. Their soups do differ daily, so call the café at 770-3322 to clarify what the soup of the day is.

They offer unique and tasty soups all the time, and the beef chowder was no exception. The creaminess of the soup was perfect for the chilly day, and the beef practically melted in my mouth. The chives on the top were a nice, colorful touch. The menu changes daily, so be sure to check out their Facebook page, and learn what they will be offering so you’re not surprised.

Tomato artichoke soup from Café Patachou in Carmel.

Get it at Café Patachou, Carmel When I wandered in Café Patachou in Clay Terrace on the morn of New Year’s Day, soup was the last thing on my mind. As you would expect, I was yearning for some greasy breakfast food to start the year off right. Yet when I learned the French café served a thick tomato soup with artichokes – of all things to pair it with – I had to try it. There was absolutely no absence of parmesan cheese or croutons to add a little crunch to the thick soup, and the thin strips of artichoke were not too overbearing and added a unique touch. Must I say, it was the perfect breakfast. Bon appétit.

This past Christmas, we celebrated the holidays with all my family at the Iberostar Quetzal resort near Cancun, Mexico. Fantastic trip and for sure our favorite travel memory of 2015! A highlight was the food. We were in food heaven. Not only was it delicious to the palate, but dishes were works of art. I am sharing a dish that recreates those special memories from our recent trip. Note: You can assemble enchiladas ahead of time, refrigerate or freeze (up to a month).

Serves: 5 (makes 10) / Time: 50 minutes Ingredients: 10 oz. diced green chiles roasted, such as Hatch or Anaheim, 1 tablespoon butter, 6 large garlic cloves, finely chopped, 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, 3 cups lowsodium chicken broth, divided, 10 corn tortillas (6 1/2 to 8 in. wide), 2 cups coarsely shredded Monterey jack, divided, 2 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken, sour cream Directions: Preheat oven to 400F. Heat oil and butter in a large pan over medium heat.

Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.

Stir in cilantro, chiles, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring for 3 minutes to mix flavors. Add 1 1/4 cups broth and simmer until reduced by one-

third, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare tortillas: In a small frying pan, bring 1 1/2 cups broth to a gentle simmer. Working with one at a time, briefly dip tortillas into broth to barely soften.

Transfer each tortilla to a large baking sheet. Do not overlap or tortillas will stick. Divide 1 1/4 cups cheese equally among tortillas and top each with shredded chicken, dividing evenly. Wrap tortilla around filling and transfer, seam side down to baking dish. Pour chile sauce over enchiladas, and top with remaining cheese.

Bake until cheese is bubbling and browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with sour cream.

Pizza joint finds downtown spot

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Phil Lothamer wanted to open his South of Chicago Pizza and Italian Beef restaurant in Noblesville for one year. dining His mission? To find a spot near the downtown square. Finally, he did, at 56 S. Ninth St. “It was a great opportunity that presented itself,” said Lothamer, who is a co-owner with Bob Jaeger.

Lothamer noticed a sign indicating the building was owned by Matteo DiRosa, coowner of Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano, just one block to the north on Ninth Street.

“Matteo had designed the location for a restaurant to go in,” Lothamer said. “So I met Matteo. We were able to strike a deal and get in there.”

The restaurant opened in September and has between 12 and 15 employees. Monday through Friday there is a lunch buffet from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We do a great crowd from the courthouse, the firefighters and the police officers and all the other administrators, such as lawyers, that work in the area,” Lothamer said. “So we’re pretty busy.”

The restaurant seats approximately 50.

Co-Owner Phil Lothamer with General Manager Jeremie Smith. (Submitted photo)

There is a full bar.

“We were the first restaurant to apply for the (Riverfront Redevelopment District’s) three-way alcohol permit,” Lothamer said. “So we’re able to serve beer, wine and spirits.”

IU Health preps for disasters

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

IU Health is making certain its hospitals are prepared for a variety of disaster situations.

More than 1,800 associemergency ates from IU Health North in Carmel, Saxony in Fishers and Tipton have completed the mandatory Alert-Lockdown-Inform-Counter-Evacuate, or A.L.I.C.E. training session. Then smaller groups took part in active shooter drills in November.

“We had approximately 60 take part in an active shooter drill at IU North with the Carmel SWAT Team,” said Garry Kimble, chief of police for North Central Region for IU Health. “Then we had 25 or 30 take part in an active shooter drill at IU Saxony with the Fishers SWAT Team.

I really wanted the staff to recognize the sound of gun fire and realize they only have seconds to react when they hear that sound.”

The shooter used blanks to simulate the gunfire, Kimble said.

Doug Market is the safety officer for North, Saxony and Tipton.

“Part of my duties are to coordinate the emergency management program,” he said.

“For us, it’s kind of a committee. It’s not like me being this dictator.”

Market prefers to call it preparation for

Regular disaster drills—like the Active Shooter Drill shown here with Carmel Police at IU Health North—help prepare hospital associates to safely care for patients during challenging times. (Submitted photo)

out-of-the-ordinary events such as a network failure.

In August, the hospitals prepared with a training exercise for both severe weather and hazardous material.

“Annually, our hospitals do hazardous vulnerability analysis. It takes literally hundreds of scenarios, and we go through a risk assessment on those,” Market said. “We then look at what our top five risks right now. So severe weather in the Midwest, particularly tornadoes, always ranks really high up there.

Decontamination also ranked high on our risk assessment. Three times in 2015 we’re drilled for that.”

Blueprint for Improvement: New outdoor living space with fireplace Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to achieve a space large enough for the whole family to enjoy year round.

1. A new, larger deck was added and created a space that was more feasible for entertainment and family enjoyment.

2. A roof was built over the new deck to protect the space from the weather.

The new roof needed to appear as part of the original design of the home.

3. The new addition needed to allow ample natural lighting into the home without obstructing the backyard views.

4. A fireplace was added to allow the space to be enjoyed on cool evenings or winter months.

5. New outdoor furniture, wood ceiling, and a TV above the fireplace finished the look and created a very homey feel.

Before Background Info: Built in 1991, this home is located in the Windemere subdivision in Carmel.

The homeowners have lived there for four years but their home lacked the outdoor space they desired.

Before problems: The current outdoor living area consisted of an exposed deck that offered no protection from the weather. The homeowners wanted to enjoy the outdoors all year without having to worry about the weather. They desired a larger area that would bring the inside out and create a more enjoyable space the whole family could enjoy.

St. Isaac’s deadly domes

Commentary by Don Knebel

The golden dome of St. Isaac’s Cathedral dominates the skyline of St. Petersburg, Russia. The massive church, said travel to be the third largest domed cathedral in the world, was built at an enormous cost in both treasure and human life.

St. Petersburg’s largest cathedral, located near the Neva River, honors St. Isaac of Dalmatia, the patron saint of Peter the Great, born on the saint’s feast day. Designed to accommodate up to 14,000 standing Orthodox worshipers, the church was built from 1818 to 1858 on the order of Tsar Alexander I, who considered its predecessor unworthy of a great city. The building, mixing classical Greek and Russian elements, was designed by Auguste de Montferrand, a Parisian architect who died just after the project was completed.

The church takes the shape of a Greek cross, with four bronze pediments resting on a total of 48 56-foot-tall columns, each carved from a single piece of red granite. Statues of Jesus’ disciples stand on the corners and apex

of each pediment. A 72-foot-diameter central dome, covered with 200 pounds of pure gold, is surrounded by four smaller domes. The walls of the one-acre interior of St. Isaac’s are adorned with murals and mosaics above columns of semi-precious stones. A magnificent stained glass window, rare in Orthodox churches, portrays the resurrected Jesus.

Construction of St. Isaacs cost about 25 million rubles, worth perhaps $150 million today.

The cost also included 60 workers killed by the mercury used in gilding the domes.

In 1931, the Soviet government replaced the dove of the Holy Spirit descending from the heavenly scenes beneath St. Isaac’s central dome with a Foucault pendulum and renamed the building the “Museum of Religion and Atheism.” With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the dove has returned and church services have resumed on special occasions.
