Kiwanis clubs to host open house
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
The Noblesville Kiwanis Sunrisers and the Noblesville Noon Kiwanis, nonprofit service clubs striving to better the lives of children in Noblesville, will host an open house to share more about how the clubs serve the community at 6 p.m. Nov. 14 in the green room at Federal Hill Commons, 107 Logan St.
Ayers said many people in the community don’t know what the Kiwanis clubs do, and the open house is a chance to share more about student leadership programs, scholarships and fundraisers that benefit youth in Noblesville.
“Kiwanis is a community service organization that focuses on helping kids and kids programs,” Ayers said. “Hosting an open house gives people the chance to come in and talk with some of our members, and we’ll have a short presentation on pretty much everything we do and help familiarize people with Kiwanis.”
Noblesville Noon Kiwanis member David Burns said the two clubs collaborate well together. He hopes the open house will raise more awareness for the clubs, which he said have seen a decline in membership. He believes that is partially because of people doing outreach events with other organizations.
“We haven’t had as good of membership as they did back in the day,” Burns said. “In the ‘80s, my dad was part
of 100-plus people in his Kiwanis club. Now, we’re probably in the teens. Many people either volunteer through churches or their kids have a lot of programs they do, like sports. I think they just get caught up. That’s one good thing about the open house. It’s a way to get involved and hear new ideas for our community.”
The two clubs often hold separate events and fundraisers and award scholarships for different things, according to Ayers.
Both clubs meet at Ginger’s Cafe at 1111 S. 10th St. in Noblesville for their meetings. For more, visit facebook.com/Noblesvillenoonkiwanis or facebook.com/ NoblesvilleKiwanis.

Council approves proposals
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
During its Oct. 29 meeting, the Noblesville Common Council approved an amendment regarding an interlocal agreement with the City of Westfield and approved a resolution regarding the Finch Creek economic development area.
The next common council meeting is Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. at 16 S. 10th St. in Noblesville.
What happened: The council approved an amendment to an interlocal agreement between the City of Noblesville and the City of Westfield to allow Westfield-Washington Township’s Unified Development Ordinance violations to be filed in Hamilton County Courts.
What it means: Noblesville attorney John Hughes presented the amendment as a request from the City of Westfield. The Noblesville City Court serves both cities. The amendment allows Westfield to file Unified Development Ordinance violations, which contain most local regulations concerning the use and development of land and buildings, including zoning, subdivision, stormwater and natural resource conservation, in Hamilton County Courts rather than in the city court.
What’s next: Hughes said the amendment should not significantly impact the City of Noblesville’s budget, but it depends on how many UDO violation cases are filed. A breakdown of costs and fines can be found at tinyurl. com/y328wny7
What happened: The council approved a resolution regarding the establishment of the Finch Creek economic development area, which will create a tax increment financing area.
What it means: Noblesville Economic Development Specialist Amy Smith presented the resolution to the council. Smith said that in August of 2023, the council and Redevelopment Commission approved an economic development agreement with developer Pulte for the Finch Creek economic development. As part of the agreement, the city agreed to create a TIF area for the project, a geographic area where local governments use a specific method of financing to redevelop or develop properties. The economic development area will contain two allocation areas. One is the Del Webb allocation area, which includes approximately 690 age-restricted single-family units, and the second is the Finch Creek mixed-use allocation area with approximately 450 family units, 100 for-sale townhome condo units and a minimum of 5,000 square feet of commercial space. “We already got the agreement approved, so as part of our obligation to that agreement in the partnership with the developer, we now have to go through this process and set up these TIF districts in order to capture that revenue stream as part of the incentive,” Director of Economic Development Andrew Murray said. “So basically, we are putting property tax payments back into the developers’ hands as an incentive to them.”
What’s next: The bond funds will advance the public’s infrastructure improvements and regional detention. The resolution has been approved by the redevelopment commission, plan commission and the council and will go back before the redevelopment commission Nov. 14.

NHS girls win third consecutive Class 3A state soccer title
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
For Noblesville High School girls soccer coach Mike Brady, the Millers’ recipe for success has three key ingredients.
ACHIEVEMENT
“This program’s success over the last several years is based on a tremendous group of student-athletes, a wonderful and supportive community and a school that values the student-athletes,” Brady said. “Put these things together and you have a winning formula, and then you hope the players perform and, boy, have they performed over the past few years.”
The Millers captured their third consecutive Class 3A state championship Nov. 2 with a 3-1 victory over Center Grove in the IHSAA state finals at Carroll Stadium in Indianapolis. It was the Millers’ fifth state title in six years. Brady said the key was having “a committed group of wonderful athletes who put the team before themselves and worked together to achieve our team goal.”
Scoring goals in the championship were
sophomore Delaney Stone, seniors Atley Pittman and Kaydence Fleck. Pittman, Fleck, Meredith Tippner, Sadie Black, Bella Wyatt, Ashlyn McNitt and Lily Ault are among a big group of senior leaders.
“As a coach, I couldn’t have asked for a better group to lead the program,” said Brady, whose team finished with a 19-0-2 record. “They were as much fun as any group I’ve had the fortune to coach, but when it was time to be serious, they set the tone by showing that hard work and dedication is infectious to the entire team. Tippner and Pittman, as with the rest of
my seniors, took a selfless approach to leading the team. They are truly special players that can’t be replaced and will be missed, But have left a legacy that other players will be able to use to show how one can be a success at what she does.”
Tippner, who has committed to play basketball at the University of Miami (Fla.), led the team with 24 goals, followed by Stone with 14.
Pittman said to win three state championships during her high school career is simply incredible.
“Each year has had its own special meaning,” said Pittman, a midfielder who has
committed to the University of Toledo. “The first one was exciting as it was a success that I had never experienced before. along with the opportunity to play with and learn from the seniors that we had. Following that year, graduating the number of seniors we did, many believed that we did not have a second championship in us. The ability to win when it was supposed to be a rebuilding year was fulfilling. Being able to now call ourselves three-time state champs is the perfect ending to my high school career. To be able to have my last game as a Miller end in a win with my best friends is something I will cherish forever.”
Pittman said a key to this year’s success was the trust that the players had in each other whenever they stepped onto the field.
“Knowing that any player could make a difference was a unique aspect of this team,” she said. “We fought for more than just winning but for each other during every game. This group was truly one of a kind.”
Other seniors commitments include Wyatt, Ohio University; Black, Eastern Illinois and Ault, DePauw

HAND continues mission to create affordable housing
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
HAND, a Noblesville-based nonprofit, continues its mission in Noblesville and surrounding areas to create affordable housing communities for lowand moderate-income individuals, families and senior citizens.
NONPROFIT
HAND recently finished rehabilitating and constructing historic homes on the southwest quad of Pleasant Street. The community is called Plum Prairie, and residents began moving in earlier this month.
“The city acquired several properties years ago for the Reimagine Pleasant Street project,” HAND Executive Director Andrea Davis said. “The city donated three houses to us on historic Pleasant Street, and then we got funding through (Hamilton County’s) Community Development Block Grant Program and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority. We rehabbed two of those homes, and then the third home had some structural issues, so we needed to tear that down and start over. So, we built one from scratch, rehabbed two other homes and created four affordable housing units.”
HAND has begun planning for its next Noblesville housing project, Stoney Creek Duets. The development plan is awaiting
approval, but Davis said the goal is to begin construction in the spring of 2025.
“We have two more projects funded through the state and county,” Davis said. “One is in Noblesville on Greenfield Avenue near Stoney Creek Elementary School. We’ll start by building three duplexes. We acquired about 2 acres, so we’re hoping to build additional development phases there.”
The second project will be in Carmel in collaboration with Prevail, a Noblesville nonprofit that works with adults, teens and children who have experienced trauma.
Davis said the goal for the Stoney Creek Duets is to build 10 duplexes, but it depends how much money the organization can raise and obtain through grants. One way HAND plans to raise funds for the upcoming projects is through a Trivia Night fundraiser at 6 p.m. Nov. 15 at the Delaware Township Community Center in Fishers, 9094 E. 131st St.
“Like any nonprofit, we must do fundraisers to fill in the gaps,” Davis said. “Trivia Night is a purely social, fun evening. We have corporate sponsors who buy tables, but we also have tables for individuals. We also will do a raffle between rounds of trivia. It’s an opportunity to introduce HAND to the community in a fun way.”

Fishers High School cross country runner wins state title
By Ken Severson editorial@youarecurrent.com
Fishers High School senior Sam Quagliaroli ran away from the field — literally.
Quagliaroli won the IHSAA boys cross country individual state title Nov. 2 at the LaVerne Gibson Championship Course in Terre Haute.
Quagliaroli, who was coming off a broken toe suffered during his junior year in track and field, won with a time of 14:46.81 seconds, nearly five seconds ahead of runner-up junior Noah Bontranger of Westview.
Quagliaroli averaged 4:45.4 per mile, recording the fastest-ever time at the course.
“I had a strategy going in. Everybody likes to go out really hard and it’s easy to do that with the big downhill there,” Quagliaroli said. “I was focusing on conserving my energy through the first (kilometer). And going into it I felt good and then felt smooth through 3 (kilometers). That’s where I wanted to throw in a surge and separate myself from the pack.”
Mission accomplished — except for Bontranger, who kept up with Quagliaroli.
SAM QUAGLIAROLI
Favorite athlete: Connor McDavid
Favorite TV show: “Impractical Jokers”
Favorite music group: Pearl Jam
Favorite vacation spot: Martha’s Vineyard
That’s when Quagliaroli said his training paid off and was the difference between first and second place.
“Noah had a great race and I knew it was going to be a dogfight to the finish,” Quagliaroli said. “Fortunately, all the hard work we put in this year allowed me to be victorious and it was awesome.”
Quagliaroli’s win, the second individual

title for a Fishers runner and first in 16 years, caps off a stellar four-year career for the Tigers in which he placed in the top 40 all four seasons at state.
As a freshman, Quagliaroli was 39th overall. He improved dramatically as a sophomore to 18th place and finished third last year.
“It’s super rewarding to see progress and super motivating at the same time,” said Quagliaroli, a former hockey player who gave up that sport to concentrate on running. “When you see the progress, it tells the work you’re putting in.”
Fishers cross country coach Nathan Warnecke said Quagliaroli’s win was four years in the making.
“Sam’s decision to quit hockey was a very difficult decision for him to make, but he knew it was the right decision and (he) worked tirelessly to achieve the pinnacle in our sport,” Warnecke said. “Besides being a phenomenal talent, he is a fabulous leader and example for the other athletes.”
Besides winning the individual championship, Quagliaroli also was named the winner of the Charles F. Maas Mental Attitude Award for boys cross country.
“That award is very important to me,” said Quagliaroli, who will compete for Indiana University next year.
In the team standings, Fishers finished fifth. Bloomington North was the overall winner, followed, respectively, by Noblesville, Brownsburg and Northridge.
“That was great,” Quagliaroli said. “I keep saying this and I mean it — the team medal means a lot more to me than the individual title. I was so happy for them. They fought through a lot of adversity this season and it was so awesome to see them on the podium.”

SPORTS
The Millers finished second to Bloomington North in the IHSAA boys cross country state finals Nov. 2 at Terre Haute.
“Bloomington North was everyone’s favorite going in,” Millers coach Bill Kenley said. “We knew it would take a nearly perfect race to beat them. And we almost got it done, falling behind by just 10 points.”
Noblesville junior John Libs finished seventh among individuals in a time of 15 minutes, 20.6 seconds.
“John has been as steady as a watch this season,” Kenley said. “He’s been between 15:08 and 15:29 all year. His state performance was one of his best due to the pressure of performing on that big stage. He absolutely nailed it. We told him to get out hard and grind through the middle, then use his strength to move up in the last third of the race. That’s what he did.”
The Millers’ four other runners who scored points were sophomore Banner Barnes, 23rd place; senior Ronnie Neal, 33rd; freshman Isaiah Vohs, 46th; and senior Jack Strong, 54th.
Barnes was the second-highest finishing sophomore in the race.
“Neal showed great courage, bouncing back from a rough October,” Kenley said. “Depth was a key. We had five runners under 16 minutes. Most years that would give you a state championship.”
Kenley said seniors Neal and Strong were vital to the team’s success.
“When they ran well this season, we ran well,” Kenley said.

A HELPING HAND
Grace Care Center opens 2024 Choice Christmas Store
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
With the holiday season approaching, times can be challenging for people in need. The Grace Care Center, which offers free services to the community, has launched its annual Choice Christmas Store to assist people who might need a hand during the holidays.
The Grace Care Center, on the campus of Grace Church in Noblesville at 5504 E. 146th St., opened in 2012 when church members identified the need for an outreach center, according to Associate Pastor Nick Pease.
“We provide several services to the community, one being a food pantry,” Pease said. “We also offer referral services, vehicle services to help give families safe and reliable transportation, a mobile pantry and English classes. We also have a thrift store.”
All the care center’s services are open to the public, and Pease said what started as a food pantry has evolved to adapt to the needs of the community. The center recently announced the opening of its 2024 Choice Christmas Store that can help families during the holidays.
“Over the years, we recognized that in the winter months, the need for our services always increased a little bit,” Pease said. “The heating bills are more expensive, the grocery bills are more expensive and then you add the holidays as well.”
Pease said the care center used to receive toy donations and put together a small store where families could choose gifts, but it has expanded in recent years. Now, an online store is up and running, and parents can choose gifts in person from 1 to 5 p.m. Dec. 21 and Dec 22. Pre-registration is required.
Grace Church Pastor of Digital Experience Tyler Bender said the Choice Christmas Store provided more than 10,000 gifts and served more than 1,000 families last year.
“Because we already serve so many families in the care center, those families will receive invitations first to participate in the in-person store,” Pease said. “After those eligible families sign up, we will open up more spots to the community. We
have to (open the store) on a weekend now because so many families come to us, and there’s such a need. We often serve up to 900 families who come to us to utilize the Christmas store. Families come and we have the toys laid out in different areas. Parents get to come in and choose the toys that they get to give their children on Christmas morning.”
The center recently launched a website where community members can donate to stock the store with toys, gift cards and more.
“It is almost like a year-long process of purchasing toys, working with other organizations and doing toy drives,” Pease said. “After doing this for several years, we now have a good idea of what kind of items families are looking for and we try to do the best we can to bring in as many toys as possible to provide for families. The idea is that every parent is going to walk away with three items for their child, typically a large toy, a smaller toy or item and a stocking stuffer. If you have three children, you’re going to walk out with at least nine items that you’ve got to select and pick, that you’re going to be able to provide for your children.”
Fishers resident Miranda McClary, a
mother of three young children, said the Choice Christmas Store and Grace Care Center have helped her and her family in several ways.
“I actually found the care center on Google when searching food pantries, and I have been utilizing the center for about three years now,” McClary said. “It helps me hugely with being able to get groceries in between me and my husband’s paychecks, and it helps us stretch the money for that. It has helped with the car repairs, and using the Choice Christmas Store was a huge load off our shoulders, especially when we were always tight on money. I think it’s one of the best things for everybody to know about. It’s helped us so much, not just financially, but it has given us a community and we are just so confident in what we’re doing now.”
Pease said the mission of the Grace Care Center is to provide “hope, dignity and sustainable change to every friend or any volunteer that engages with it.”
“Especially at Christmas time, I like to think that we provide a little bit of hope for families. And if we can do even a little bit, then I think all the hard work is worth it,” Pease said.
Pease said there are two primary ways
people can support the Choice Christmas Store:
• Purchase (donate money for) specific gifts in the online store. Grace Care Center staff members will then take the money donated and purchase the items to stock the in-person shopping experience in December.
• Donate money using the ‘Shop For Me’ item in the online store. This store item allows donations in increments of $10, $50 or $100, which will then be used to purchase the most needed items for the store.

Another option available for the community through the Grace Care Center is its thrift store, which has clothing items, home goods and more available for purchase. All proceeds directly benefit the Grace Care Center’s services and programs.
“In 2020, we identified a need where people could benefit from getting used, marked-down items,” Grace Church Pastor of Digital Experience Tyler Bender said. “We felt like there was an opportunity there to have it open while the care center was also open. It turned out to be something that we expanded to invite the community to participate in as well. So now, it’s not just open for the care center friends or people that use the care center services, but it’s open a couple days a week to serve the community as well.”
The Grace Thrift Store is open to the public on Mondays and Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. It also is open on Wednesday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more, visit gracecarecenter. us/thrift.

Versatile vocalist Odom Jr. to appear at Palladium
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Singer-songwriter-actor Leslie Odom Jr. is well-known for his Tony Award-winning role as Aaron Burr in “Hamilton.”
“I’m divinely blessed to have found my way into ‘Hamilton’ for lots of reasons, but I think the main one is I found kinship with (‘Hamilton’ creator) Lin-Manuel Miranda,” Odom said. “He’s only a year older than I and so we grew up in a time when it was not strange to like hip-hop, pop and R&B and get into your parents’ old albums, some jazz and oldies. I grew up with gospel music, so when I got this eclectic score, I really understood it. It sounded like an iPod playlist I would have made for myself. Our audiences look like the ‘Hamilton’ audience and they are interested, thank goodness, in a playlist with that kind of variety and range.”
Odom will perform at 8 p.m. Nov. 22 at the Palladium at the Allied Solutions Center for Performing Arts in Carmel. Odom, 43, will perform songs from “When a Crooner Dies,” his fifth full-length studio album, which was released in 2023.
“A live show is a mix of learning, experimenting and trying things,” Odom said. “Over the last decade, some of that stuff has resonated and connected with the audience. We take stock of those things and do what people like best.”
Odom said unlike Stevie Wonder or Prince, he can’t get in a room and write songs all by himself.
“When I’m starting a new project, it’s a chance for me to get together and hang out with my friends, people I’ve developed intimate creative relationships with over the past few years,” Odom said. “They’ve helped me create my sound and find myself in this new area in the music space.”
A lifelong music lover, Odom said it’s gratifying that he has developed fans and supporters of his music.
Odom has been nominated for three Grammy Awards, winning for the best cast album of “Hamilton.” He played Sam Cooke in “One Night in Miami” and was
nominated for an Academy Award for best original song, “Speak Now.”
Odom, who has acted in several TV shows and movies, received a Tony nomination for his leading role in “Purlie Victorious” on Broadway for “Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play.” He made his Broadway producing debut with that revival.
Odom said those fortunate enough to be in the original cast of “Hamilton” all benefited.
“We were a surprise to people, which was a wonderful thing for us,” Odom said.
“As we all went about finding life after ‘Hamilton,’ there were so many new avenues available to us because we were new faces.”
Performing in concerts has become his favorite part of his career.
“But I’m so glad I don’t have to choose,” he said. “I’m glad I get to do a little bit of everything. But if I had to choose, concerts would be the thing I would choose because I can connect with people, which is my favorite thing about this. It’s a conversation. I say the most important thing I have to say and the audience responds.

Sometimes, I get to meet people after the show and we talk about the show and other things, their families and what’s important to them. I get to choose my own material and tell stories that are important to me.”
Odom said his concert tour is an allnew show.
“It’s exciting for me and the musicians that we consistently get to challenge ourselves and incorporate our own evolution into the music,” he said. “I’m not the same guy I was eight years ago or five years ago.”
Odom was included on the 2024 TIME100 list as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world.
“I’m no fool, there are a lot of metrics on how well known you are and how popular you are. There are people much more famous and popular than I,” Odom said. But he is gratified that he has made an impact from his roles, including moments from “Hamilton” and ‘Purlie Victorious.”
“(The stage) is my first love. It’s so dear to me — the importance of a healthy American theater,” he said. For more, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Fitting opera for 50th season
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
“The Barber of Seville” seems an obvious fit for Indianapolis Opera’s 50th anniversary season opener.
PERFORMANCE
“‘The Barber of Seville’ happens to be the opera the company has produced more than any other show,” Indianapolis Opera General Director David Starkey said. “This is a testimony to (composer Gioachino) Rossini’s timeless popularity and perfect connection to pop culture. And in a time of great political rhetoric, why not offer up one of the best comedic shows to break up the division of our country and recognize that music is a great way to bring us all together?”
“After so many years of historic challenges in our country, we wanted to showcase how the oldest and largest opera company in Indiana can present the best productions and events,” Starkey said. “Indianapolis is a world-class city with the best music and classical presentations, and we always rise to the moment for the best celebrations.”
Starkey said the most significant event of the entire season will be the March 22 collaboration with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra at Hilbert Circle Theatre.
“The Barber of Seville” is set for Nov. 1517 at The Tarkington at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Starkey said the opera company has been planning the anniversary for three years.
“The Grand Concert will feature over 15 world-renowned opera stars that will come back and join (Indy Opera Principal Conductor) Alfred Savia and (former Indy Opera Artistic Director) James Caraher and the Indianapolis Opera Chorus,” Starkey said. “This celebration will be the most elaborate operatic event in the city’s history and every artist is a current or former (Indianapolis Opera) performer of the past 50 years.”

Man overcomes catastrophic injuries to help others
By Les Morris zionsville@youarecurrent.com
Jeremy Warriner’s life changed forever on an October evening in 2005 along County Road 240 in Putnam County.
GIVING BACK
While driving home to Indianapolis from his work as director of operations at The Walden Inn on the campus of DePauw University in Greencastle, he was involved in a horrific car accident.
Mon-Fri:
Warriner was traveling 55 mph, heading eastbound toward Marion County, when a 16-year-old — who had possessed her driver’s license for approximately three weeks — traveling northbound turned left in front of him. Warriner’s Jeep Wrangler crashed into a utility pole, at which point brake fluid leaked out of its reservoir and ignited a massive fire.
Warriner was trapped in the burning vehicle for 20 minutes.
He was rescued just before the car was entirely engulfed and taken to IU-Methodist hospital in Indianapolis.
His left leg was completely crushed, and he suffered fourth-degree burns to both of his lower legs. Within a few days of the accident, his right leg was amputated at the knee and his left leg a little above the knee.
His face was so badly mangled that his jaw had to be wired shut. He had a compound fracture to the right wrist. While still at Methodist, he was placed in a six-week medically induced coma. He was transferred to the Richard M. Fairbanks Burn Center at Eskenazi Health but has no memory of it. He didn’t regain consciousness until December.
Warriner was discharged to his parents’ home in Indianapolis shortly before Christmas 2005. He admits his mental state was horrible — so much so that he was in a “world of pain” and suicidal when he left the burn center.
It was in February of 2006 when he said he began to feel better, describing it as an ‘ah ha’ moment.
“What brought that about is when I read the police report of the accident,” Warriner said. “That led to me talking to everyone I could track down from the accident scene.”
Meanwhile, Warriner’s recovery journey at the Fairbanks Burn Center, the sole verified adult burn center in Indiana, was
continuing. The unit is on the fourth floor of the Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital in downtown Indianapolis. It includes 15 private beds; 13 clinic rooms; and two burn operating rooms that allow physicians to precisely control the room temperature to prevent hypothermia.
Warriner endured 38 surgeries before he left the burn unit, not unusual for a severe burn victim where multiple steps are required to remove the burned tissue and replace it properly.
“I prepare them to have upwards of 20 surgeries before they leave the hospital to put them in the frame of mind that it’s not going to be a one and done type of thing,” said Dr. Leigh Spera, associate director at the center.
Today, Warriner lives on the northwest side of Indianapolis with his wife Irena, who he married in 2016. He has five adult stepchildren.
Warriner is busy leading Walking Spirit, an organization he started in 2006 that provides ADA training to organizations and accessible DEIB, or diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, services to businesses and organizations. His services also include public speaking and coaching.
Warriner also is a volunteer at the burn unit, where he is still well known.
“One of the most amazing things to me has been the consistency of the staff over the years,” Warriner said. “There are still nurses and therapists who recognize me and talk to me. That means a lot.”
Warriner considers the efforts of his entire care team -- the first responders, the doctors and staff at the hospital, and certainly the professionals at the burn unit — to have given him a “gift.”
“I could not throw that away,” Warriner says. “I had to figure out how I was going to live this life because I couldn’t throw away the gifts they’d given me.”

The restaurant, which is open daily from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., offers wellness juices, coffee selections, classic and healthy breakfast options, amongst other items. To celebrate, the restaurant offered free coffee throughout its first week in business and gave free First Watch coffee cups to its first 100 customers. (Photo by Jessica Todd)
Inconvenient oversimplification
Commentary by Terry Anker
These handy little devices in our pockets, or pocketbooks, have proven to be game changers. Where we once ran to the phone to see who might be calling, we now ignore with aggrieved nonchalance wondering why the caller didn’t text us instead of causing us to endure their annoyance. Where we used to escape the vagrancies of office chatter, we now have a complete inbox with us everywhere from our daughter’s bat mitzvah to our root canal. And where we formerly opened our garage door by getting out of the car and walking over to it or, for lucky ones, by pushing a remote-control clicker clumsily attached to the visor in the Buick, we’ve downloaded an app. One purchases and installs a device that controls the garage door opener of our homes through an application we load on our smartphone, as if it is an awkward little clicker. It is handy if one has multiple doors and wishes to initiate them distantly. Perhaps we could open the garage for a worker while we sit remotely somewhere else. The
ESSAY
technology spawned by the capitalist system keeps us marching along.
There was hassle in replacing the occasional remote-control battery or in meeting the appliance repair person. Still, the modern age is yet to deliver us from toil. To make the garage door application work, it and its components must be independently updated, the internet and its incumbent technologies (router, providers, modem, etc.) must be functioning, and our phones must be current and connected. Otherwise, we sit in the rain waiting — the no-longer needed, old-fashioned remote batteries were long ago depleted. In our endless pursuit of convenience, just how much inconvenience are we willing to endure? In what ways do we complicate our lives in the name of simplification?
Someone make up my mind
Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
I let my wife, Mary Ellen, make half the decisions in our home. We both agree that this fosters a better relationship and makes for a happier marriage. She told me to say that.
HUMOR
“Dick, I decided to change our next vacation,” she said. “Instead of the Bahamas, we are now going to cruise Antarctica.”
“Gee, don’t you think I should have been consulted on that decision?”
“Everything evens out,” she said. “When you change the oil, you decide on the brand. So, when I change our vacation plans, we are even. For example, I know you have expressed feelings on the milk I bring home from the supermarket.”
“Yes, I prefer 2 percent to 1 percent.”
“See? Now you made another big decision today. A good marriage is based on both of us making an equal number of choices. I have to rush off now and pick up the new car I decided we’re getting for you. To be fair, tonight you can pick out which rerun of ‘Law and Order’ we will watch.”
Quite frankly, I don’t really like making decisions. I hate the pressure. Last Sunday, for example, I was in the kitchen deciding on breakfast. Should I pop an English muffin in the toaster to see if green mold is flammable, or run out to the store to get some fresh bagels?
Bagels, it is.
Which car to take? If I take my car, I have to get gas, but if I take my wife’s car, she’ll ask me to stop at the car wash. And there, they always ask me what kind of freshener I want. Another decision.
I headed for the bagel shop in my wife’s Prius. Nuts. She is also low on gas. Will it be Shell or Marathon? Marathon is usually cheaper, but at Shell I have had more luck with the lottery tickets.
Now, I have 25 lottery tickets to choose
“Quite frankly, I don’t really like making decisions. I hate the pressure.”
– DICK WOLFSIE
from. More decisions. Anything but that stupid crossword puzzle scratch-off.
Which bagel shop? There are three places to buy bagels: Bearded Bagel, Panera Bread and Einstein Bros. I am so stressed out. At Einstein, things got worse. What kind of bagels did I want? Blueberry, garlic, poppyseed and asiago, to name a few. One of each, I said. Did I want a shmear on them? There were 12 choices, which gave me about 144 options, if I bought a dozen. No toppings. Did I want them sliced? Yes, slice half of them. My anxiety was building. Then I stared at the coffee choices. I decide no coffee. I was jumpy enough.
I had a headache. I needed a pharmacy. CVS or Walgreens? This was easy. They are both adept at over-the-counter meds.
I went to CVS and requested something for my throbbing head.
“Bayer, Tylenol, Advil, Motrin, or Aleve?” the druggist asked.
I headed home. It was time to see what my new car looked like.

Blueprint for Improvement: Elegant bathroom upgrade in Indianapolis
Commentary by Larry Greene
When our Clearwater clients were ready to give their guest bathroom a makeover, our team was ready to add fresh style and functionality — transforming the footprint to maximize space, improve flow and add a touch of luxury.
THE BLUEPRINT
• Reworking the floorplan created space for an expanded shower, complete with a sleek bench seat for added comfort and function.
• The custom vanity, finished in a rosemary green, introduces a sophisticated pop of color that pairs perfectly with the room’s gold-toned hardware and fixtures.
• Carrara marble tile conveys timeless elegance while its hexagonal shape establishes a modern, stylish twist.
• A tortoiseshell-patterned mirror and natural wood shelf add texture and organic appeal.
