As temperatures drop and you spend more time indoors, it’s important to make sure the air circulating in your home is clean and healthy. Dust, pet dander, and allergens build up in your air ducts over time, leading to poor air quality and increased allergy symptoms.
Don’t forget about your dryer vents! Clogged dryer vents are not only a fire hazard, but they also force your dryer to work harder, increasing energy bills and drying times. Winter is the perfect time to ensure your dryer is running safely and efficiently.

Smith wins Indiana House District 24 seat
news@youarecurrent.com
Former Indianapolis Colts punter and WonderTree Farm in Zionsville owner Hunter Smith (R-Zionsville) is the new state representative for Indiana District 24.
Smith was challenged by Democrat Josh Lowry of Westfield. Smith did not respond to Current Publishing’s candidate questionnaire, but according to his campaign website, hunterforindiana.com, his top priorities are protecting children; empowering parents; and strengthening law enforcement.
District 24 encompasses parts of Carmel, Sheridan, Westfield, Whitestown and Zionsville.
State Rep. Donna Schaibley (R-Carmel) did not seek reelection, announcing in 2023 her plans to retire. Schaibley served in the Indiana General Assembly since 2014.
In the race for Indiana House of Representatives District 25, as of press time Nov. 6 the unofficial results showed Republican incumbent Becky Cash leading Democratic challenger Tiffany Stoner.
District 25 includes Zionsville, Whitestown, rural Boone County and portions of Brownsburg.
Although Stoner earned more votes than Cash in Boone County as of election night, Cash was able to make up for those losses in Hendricks County, leading the challenger by just over 60 votes at press time.

Creekside projects move ahead
By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com
The Zionsville Redevelopment Commission approved two measures last month to bring a new vision center to Creekside Corporate Park.
DEVELOPMENT
Lots 4 and 5 are under contract with Center for Sight, a Carmel-based vision center that plans to move to Zionsville. The buyer asked the RDC for an extension to the closing timeline to complete the due diligence process. The agreement will now include a portion of Lot 3 for retention.
Cornerstone Companies is the developer and contractor for the project. Vice President of Development Jimmy Clark said the new building will be an outpatient facility and the Center for Sight’s new headquarters.
“The building currently is located at 106th and Michigan in Hamilton County. They would like to take their footprint and expand it to upwards of 21,000 square feet,” he said. “In the next 12 to 18 months they would like to expand and build a surgery center to the east that is upwards of 12,500 square feet, with some additional doctor partnerships forthcoming.”
The RDC approved the new closing timeline as well as a waiver of some closing requirements.
A groundbreaking timeline has not been
finalized.
The RDC also signed off on a development agreement for Creekside Corporate Park Lot 2. Petitioner Crider & Crider will purchase the lot for $250,000. Crider & Crider intends to build a 15,000- to 20,000-square-foot commercial office building at the site.
Creekside Corporate Park was acquired by the town in 2015 as a conservation office park, with 38 percent of the property dedicated to woodland preservation. Since 2015, lots within Creekside have been purchased and developed by Group 1001, DK Pierce, Graham Rahal Performance, Rahal Letterman Lanigan and Ducati.

America
Recycles Day
Commentary by Jennifer Lawrence
Did you know there is a national recycling goal of 50 percent by 2030 in the United States?
ENVIRONMENT
The state of Indiana also has legislation setting a 50 percent recycling goal, but with no timeline connected. Currently, the United States recycling rate stands at a little over 30 percent, so we have some work to do in a short amount of time.
To keep focus on recycling and other sustainable initiatives, the United States celebrates America Recycles Day on Nov. 15 each year. It is imperative that we continue to strive toward better recycling to ensure we can protect our natural resources, conserve landfill space and save energy during the remanufacturing process. Tips for proper recycling include:
• Routinely check the list of accepted materials for your recycling service whether at a drop spot or for curbside service. Different haulers accept different materials based on their downstream avenues to recycle materials.
• Place clean recyclables in the bin. Materials contaminated with liquid, food or grease are not readily recyclable.
• Leave your materials loose. The bins can be utilized more efficiently. It also helps inspections to prevent improper materials. Plastic bags can easily jam recycling equipment.
To help celebrate America Recycles Day, the district hosts a plastic bag swap. For every ten plastic shopping bags you bring to the district office, we will swap them for a reusable shopping bag.
For easy counting, place nine bags inside of one and tie closed. For more details, visit the district website.
The Boone County Solid Waste Management District is responsible for implementing programs and educating residents to reduce, recycle or properly dispose of their residential waste.

They are, from left, Hayley Loncaric, Tobias Dollens, Nathan Botkin, Truman Greaves, Prabanjan Jayachandran, Noah Farb and Louisa Santos. Not pictured is Adriel Klopper. The nationwide pool of semifinalists represents less than 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors. More than 16,000 semifinalists were named in September for the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program. The students are academically talented high school seniors who have an opportunity to continue in the competition for 6,870 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $26 million. Finalists will be named in spring 2025. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist level of the competition.

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.”

DRAWING ON SHARED EXPERIENCES
Zionsville family takes part in Indiana arts scene
By Marney Simon marney@youarecurrent.com
A Zionsville Middle School fifth-grader is making her mark on the Indiana art scene.
Nine-year-old Anna Rose Worthington was one of three winners in Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales’ “I Voted!” sticker design competition. Anna Rose’s design was printed on stickers that were distributed to voters at the polls on Election Day.
Anna Rose also was a grade-level winner at the Indiana State Fair this year, with her watercolor on canvas entry, “Fun and Freedom at the Off-Road Park.” She said the piece — featuring a Jeep traveling along a winding road under the moon and stars — was designed to elicit feelings of driving off-road at state recreation areas.
The piece was displayed throughout the fair in the Indiana Arts Building.
For the Worthington family, art seems to be in their DNA. Anna Rose’s parents, Andrea and Partick Worthington, also are artists. Andrea Worthington is a conceptual artist who explores several mediums. Patrick Worthington specializes in photography, particularly urban and rural landscapes.
“I’ve been creating art my whole life,” Andrea Worthington said. “I studied visual arts at Occidental College in Los Angeles and later worked as an art director and creative director at a publishing company, where I produced hundreds of book covers. This experience allowed me to merge fine art with graphic design and storytelling, giving me a unique perspective on visual communication.”
Patrick Worthington studied photography and drawing at the School of Visual Arts in New York.
“My early work was more traditional, but over time, I started gravitating toward abstract landscapes,” he said. “I find a lot of creative energy in exploring how framing and space can distort a landscape, turning it into something more about form and texture rather than a direct representation of nature.”
The couple’s young sons, Cameron, 7, and Elliot, 5, also are budding artists.
The couple said art came naturally for Anna Rose.
“We joke that she’s always been like the character Poppy from ‘Trolls’ — if you leave her alone for five minutes, she’ll have made
an entire art piece,” Andrea Worthington said. “When she was 3, she would draw figures and then cut them out to make her own paper dolls. Now, after school, she’s constantly creating something new, often with cardboard, paint and whatever materials she can find. We make sure she always has supplies on hand and find opportunities for her to show off her work.”
Anna Rose said she’s inspired by the world around her, as well as her own imagination. She said she loves to draw and make figurines out of cardboard, which she often gifts to family members and friends. She said she’s planning a big painting project next.
“I love drawing characters from stories I make up in my head, especially people and animals together. I like using bright colors and creating a lot of action in my drawings,” she said. “I’m inspired by the things

around me. I get ideas from the stories in my head, and I like to draw or make things based on what I imagine. I like animals and people, especially when they’re doing something fun or exciting together.”
Her parents try to encourage and grow that sense of imagination.
“I’ve always encouraged her to be free with her creativity,” Patrick Worthington said. “We keep an easel up at home, and I like to introduce her to new techniques or mediums. We also try to take her to galleries, local art shows and museums so she can get inspired by other artists’ work.”
Anna Rose said entering contests is secondary to simply being a creator. While being recognized is always fun, she said the real excitement comes from sharing what she loves.
“When I started entering art contests, it was fun doing art. I wasn’t trying to win,
A FAMILY AFFAIR
You don’t have to look far to see where Anna Rose Worthington’s artistic talents came from.
Her parents, Andrea and Patrick Worthington also are artists. The couple collaborated for the Indiana State Fair Soybean Art competition over the summer. They were finalists with their mixed-media entry, “The Joy of the Harvest.” The sculpture is a classic gumball machine filled with soybeans instead of candy. Capsules dispensed from the machine contain a handful of soybeans, bridging the gap between agricultural roots and the innocence of youthful delight. The submission won a Merit Award for the Best Use of Soybeans and the People’s Choice Award.
The Indiana State Fair Soybean Art Competition is sponsored by the Indiana Soybean Alliance and the Brooks Lamb Foundation for the Arts, named for a Zionsville youth who died in 2020
in a car accident.
I was trying to do the best design so I would like what I made,” she said. “It feels good when other people like it, too.”
The family also said that people don’t give the Hoosier State enough credit for its expansive and diverse art scene.
“The art scene here is surprisingly vibrant if you look beyond the traditional institutions,” Andrea Worthington said.
“You can find great local art in unexpected places — hotels, cafes, smaller museums and even outdoor murals. The murals are especially exciting; they’ve been popping up in small towns across the state.”
And, they said, even for people who are not artists, the art scene is still for them.
“I believe art is a universal language. For those who don’t think they have an artistic eye, I suggest approaching art with an open mind,” Patrick Worthington said. “Focus on how the art makes you feel rather than trying to “understand” it. Art appreciation is personal and doesn’t require specialized knowledge. My favorite quote from a professor is “make art that matters to you, and it will matter to other people.”
Anna Rose agreed.
“I think it is because everyone can make art no matter what age they are. Even a dot can be art,” she said.

For the family, entering contests is just one way to share their passion for art.
“We believe that art is an essential part of life, enriching our experiences and connecting us to each other,” Andrea Worthington said. “My work in book cover design taught me the power of visual communication, and I’m excited to bring that into our family’s artistic endeavors.”
Patrick Worthington echoed the sentiment.
“Art isn’t just about creating something visually appealing. It’s about exploring ideas, questioning perceptions, and engaging with the world in a deeper way,” he said. “I hope my work encourages viewers to look beyond the surface and consider new perspectives on the landscapes and environments we often take for granted.”

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.

CCP presents ‘Peter Pan’ prequel
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
For Hannah Janowicz, “Peter and the Starcatcher” was love at first sight.
PLAY
“I fell in love with this show after seeing a professional production of it in 2015. I was completely confused during Act 1, couldn’t stop laughing during Act 2 and left the theater crying,” she said. “Any show that can achieve that in under two hours is pretty impressive.”
audience with their imagination.
“I also admire the complexities of the child characters like Molly and the Boy,” she said. “No one is one-note and the character layers reveal themselves over time.”
The Carmel resident portrays Molly in the Carmel Community Players’ production of “Peter and the Starcatcher” Nov. 15-24 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, in Carmel.
“Though the play is a prequel to the story of ‘Peter Pan,’ it holds its own and has the bones of a standalone story,” Janowicz said. “Audiences shouldn’t expect to meet Tinkerbell, Tiger Lily and Captain Hook right away, but rather embark on a different adventure with new names and faces while the contents of a familiar story slowly fold into place.”
Janowicz appreciates that the play has a bare-bones storytelling approach, where actors must create the world and help the
Janowicz said the humor is top notch.
“Adults and kids alike can enjoy the adventure, playful chaos and pop culture references that may or may not be time-period accurate,” she said.
Indianapolis resident Austin Uebelhor portrays the villain.
“Black Stache is a very flamboyant, overthe-top character, which means I get to have fun being as ridiculous as possible,” Uebelhor said. “Often, you have to be careful with overacting as it may affect the character’s believability, but in this case, it works perfectly for my poetic pirate.”
Carmel resident Lori Raffel is the director.
“There are only a couple of short pirate songs, but musicals are not my forte, so I asked Tanya Haas to help with music, Elizabeth Ruddell to help with costumes, my boss at (Prime Life Enrichment) Cindy Schembre to do the choreography and they all agreed to help,” Raffel said.

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. 15-17 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.
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.”
Jeremy Warriner credits the team at the Richard M. Fairbanks Burn Center at Eskenazi Health for the gift of life after they helped him recover from a vehicle accident.

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. 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?”

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.

Inconvenient simplification
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, and 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 has installed 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 re-
ESSAY
motely somewhere else. Good, the 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?
