Fire department merit commission meeting — The City of Westfield Fire Dept. Merit Commission will meet at 7 p.m. Sept. 17 at the Westfield Public Safety Building, 17535 Dartown Rd.

Brooks, others talk school safety at roundtable event

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Parent education, distributing correct information during a crisis, mental health and school safety were among the topEDUCATION ics U.S. Rep. Susan W. Brooks addressed during a School Safety Listening Session Aug. 24 at Noblesville City Hall. The event attracted school and public safety officials from Noblesville, Westfield, Carmel, Sheridan, Zionsville, Hamilton Heights, Alexandria and other local communities.

The session was a follow-up to an April 9 listening session. Brooks said the Aug. 24 session drew approximately double the attendees of the April event, which she attributed in large part to the enhanced focus on school safety following the May 25 shooting at Noblesville West Middle School that injured two, teacher Jason Seaman and student Ella Whistler.

Roundtable topics included the importance of informing parents on when and which drills are practiced in the schools so they can follow up with their children.

“A lot of us (parents) grew up with fire drills and so forth, but the active-shooter drills which have been going on for quite some time now, many parents didn’t go through that and don’t understand it,” Brooks said.

Westfield Washington Schools Director of HR and Safety Chris Baldwin spoke on how WWS keeps parents informed.

“We just made it a point. Our plan is after every single drill we do now, that we are going to communicate to the parents at home, that this drill occurred and here are the major aspects we covered in that drill and ask that they review that with their children at home,” Baldwin said. “Every single time we are overcommunicating that information.”

One reason Alexandria Community Schools Supt. Melissa Brisco attended was to learn the

best way to respond if an emergency happens.

Brisco said she thought she could learn a lot by hearing from Noblesville Community Schools Supt. Beth Niedermeyer.

“I wanted to learn from Beth because she did a fantastic job managing a really horrible situation last May, and she’s learned some lessons from that, and I would like to learn from her,” Brisco said.

Niedermeyer spoke on the importance of internal and external communication within a school during a crisis situation.

“The most important thing is getting information out as fast as you can,” she said. “On May 25, we sent out 13 communications to our parents, but it still wasn’t fast enough.

Because of social media, everyone with a cellphone was able to get information out quickly.

In terms of looking at our entire communication systems and making sure everything is interfaced with all of our communication standpoints so when an event happens, a teacher can immediately push one button and contact goes out to the office, to the police, to first responders, so everyone has that systemic information all at one time.”

A downside to social media is that rapid information is not always factual.

MSD Washington Township Chief of Police Brian Clouse said a third-party vendor might be a future option for sending accurate communication.

“That piece is critical because social media is going to beat you to it, and disinformation is the wrong information,” he said.

Brooks established the listening sessions and is co-chair of the Congressional School Safety Caucus, where she meets with local schools and law enforcement leaders to discus new and innovative methods for keeping schools safe. For more, visit susanwbrooks. house.gov.

The first part of a conference series hosted by Prevail of Central Indiana will take place from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Sept. 13 at Noblesville City Hall, 16 CONFERENCE S. 10th St. Prevail provides services for those suffering from domestic abuse. Its conference, Breaking the Cycle, will feature speakers from the Prevail Speaker’s Bureau sharing their experiences and providing information on how others can help break the cycle of violence.

The Prevail Speaker’s Bureau began in September 2016.

“I have nationally spoken on the area of sexual assault for the last 10 years probably, and I know how healing it is, but also how much it helps others in our community,” Prevail Assistant Director Michelle Corrao said. “It helps first responders re-

spond well. It helps people who are in the audience who are survivors and inspires them. You can turn a lot of that bad into something really good, and I recognize that.

So, with that, we have seen so many success stories at Prevail that I thought, why don’t we build a speaker’s bureau where we can mentor and support those who really want to speak out?”

There are 20 members on the speaker’s bureau. The Breaking the Cycle conference is the first of three conferences. The next two conferences are planned for February and September 2019.

The event is free, but Corrao is asking attendees to RSVP by email at michelle@prevailinc.org. She said teenagers are welcome but presentations may be graphic.

“These are people who have been through traumatic events in their lives who now are speaking out because they want to make a difference,” she said.

Proceeds will benefit specials teachers at OTES, which include music, gym, library, art and STEM teachers. Any extra money will be placed in a philanthropy fund to benefit a charity within the Westfield Washington Schools district.

“We are helping them (specials teachers) grow in providing new projects and learning tools. We will be providing them with some money to do that,” Keller said. “Any extra money will be put into a philanthropy fund and given to a charity in the Westfield school district because Westfield has given back to us so generously through the years.”

Sixteen restaurants will be featured, and a gift card-pull will benefit the Westfield Youth Assistance Program. Participants will pay $10 to pull a gift card ranging in value from $10 to $50 to one of the night’s participating restaurants. The 78’s will perform

Surrounded by parked planes and helicopters, more than 170 people dined together for the second straight year CHAMBER at last month’s Westfield Zionsville Chamber Luncheon.

Tracy Phillips, executive director of the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce, said the two chambers began collaborating on the luncheon last year because there was so much crossover membership.

“We have many (people) who are members of both chambers,” Phillips said. “There are so many similarities between our chambers, our towns and our schools.”

Indianapolis Executive Airport and First Wing Jet Center hosted the event, opening up one of its hangars for the dining experience. Missy Estabrook, event coordinator for Westfield Chamber of Commerce, said seating was ample in the large space.

“It was a good chance for people to come out and network in a lunchtime setting,” Estabrook said. “Lots of people had never been there before and said it was really cool.”

The luncheon featured a prominent keynote speaker, Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Doug Boles.

“It was the perfect venue for Doug Boles to speak,” Phillips said, noting that Boles is used to the loud noise at the race track. “At one point, a jet went by the open doors of the hangar where we were having lunch.

Doug had to speak a little bit louder and he didn’t miss a beat.”

“As it got louder and louder, he got louder and louder,” Estabrook said. “It didn’t bother him. He was in his element.”

Boles touched briefly on some IMS history

and spoke about ways to engage a younger audience in the digital era. But his speech focused heavily on applying the concept of IMS — how it was founded and what it provides for the city of Indianapolis — to smaller towns and cities like Zionsville and Westfield. The IMS founders were businessmen, not racecar drivers. They envisioned the track as a way to showcase Indianapolis and bring people to the city.

Boles commended the chambers for the work they do to improve the quality of life and commerce in their respective communities and challenged the audience to think of new ways to make them great places to live.

Palomino Ballroom, an event center in Zionsville, catered the luncheon. Sundown Gardens, a Westfield garden center, provided table decor.

“The staff at the Westfield Chamber are phenomenal to work with,” Phillips said.

“They are good friends and colleagues.”

Each chamber made a basket of prizes from member businesses. Westfield attendees entered one raffle and Zionsville attendees entered a separate raffle. At the end, the Westfield winner won the Zionsville basket, and the Zionsville winner won the Westfield basket.

“It gets the Zionsville crowd to this neck of the woods and the Westfield people over to Zionsville,” Estabrook said.

Phillips and Estabrook agreed that the relationship between the two chambers will continue.

“Business has no boundaries, and this is an opportunity for our members to crosspollinate. That was the genesis of this luncheon,” Phillips said. “I think we’ll keep doing this for a long time.”

WWS breaks ground on renovations to intermediate, middle schools

By Noah Alatza news@currentinwestfield.com

WESTFIELD INTERMEDIATE Students and staff returned to aSCHOOL dif& RENOVATIONS ferent educationalADDITIONS environment on the first day of school last COVER STORY WESTFIELD WASHINGTON SCHOOLS month with $23 million in major construction upgrades to Westfield Middle School and Westfield Intermediate School under way.

THEDirector SKILLMAN CORPORATION WWS of Operations Joe Montalone emphasized the district is doing everything it can to minimize potential noise from construction during Montalone classroom time.

“Building administrators are working with on-site project managers to make sure it is impacting student learning as minimal as humanly possible,” he said.

Montalone said most ofWESTFIELD the initial work SCHOOL will be done on the newMIDDLE gyms at WIS and & house RENOVATIONS WMS. The new gymADDITIONS at WIS will two gymnasium courts. The new gym at WMS can be configured WESTFIELD to houseWASHINGTON two courts.

SCHOOLS WMS currently has two single gyms. WIS and WMS will keep their original gyms in addition to the new gyms. The pool space at the middle school will be renovated into an orchestra and performing arts area.

THE SKILLMAN CORPORATION “Once we get the steel up at WIS and WMS by this fall and get it capped around, they can work inside during the winter,” Montalone said.

Representatives from the district’s construction contractor Skillman Corp. and Indianapolis-based CSO Architects have been meeting with administrative teams in each building since summer 2017.

“We are in daily communications with our site manager and the building staff about what activities they are doing,” said Victor Landfair, vice president of Skillman Corp. “A majority of our work is K-12, and we are very comfortable working Landfair around school buildings.

We have procedures and policies in place to avoid any issues, but the key is good communication, and the bottom line is that education is always going to come first.”

Westfield Middle School

Multi Purpose Instructional Facility — The renovated old east gym that will now be a Large Group Instruction building, four classrooms and a percussion area.

Classrooms — This area will hold eight newly constructed classrooms, raising the total to 21 new classrooms and increasing student capacity from 1,200 to 1,600.

Montalone said Skillman Corp. and CSO have been key players in overall construction guidance.

“Skillman and CSO are very important groups to have at the table when we are looking and talking about safety and security of buildings,” he said. “They embed the most in the industry standards and best practices.”

Landfair said WIS and WMS will see visible additions this month. Bidding for the high school project began last month.

“For the (high school) we are targeting fall break to start and get boots on the ground,” Landfair said.

Landfair said there will be a reduction of parking in the short term, but work will begin after football season to preserve spots for games.

When renovations are complete at the high school, WHS will accommodate a capacity of 3,100 students. New additions, which include 35 new classrooms, will add space for 1,000 additional students. More classrooms will be created through renovation within the existing building. WHS also will have a new atrium at its entrance and a new production lab and band hall.

Westfield’s $90 million referendum, passed in 2017, allocated funds to expand

Incoming Westfield High School senior Carly Stuart said she is not concerned about the construction project taking place during the school year.

“Even though I won’t be at the high school at the time it’s finished, I cannot wait to see the final outcome,” Stuart said. “I Stuart know the community and school district has worked hard to bring this together.”

However, she said she is worried about limited parking space and the growing number of student drivers.

Student Impact Executive Director Danyele Easterhaus, a mother of four, said the school district has done a great job delivering information on the timeframe.

Easterhaus Easterhaus said she was mainly concerned about her freshman daughter, who has special needs.

“It’s always an issue when you have construction in school and it comes with the all the sounds and all the chaos, so I am a little more concerned with my freshman,” she said. “The addition of chaos could hinder her daily schedule, and that concerns me a little bit, but my assumption is they have thought through that well.” and upgrade all of the district’s buildings.

The high school’s renovation and expansion is expected to top $42 million.

Other district-wide renovations cost nearly $24 million. Funds will be allocated to elementary schools first, then building maintenance. Construction on the intermediate and middle schools will be finished first with a completion goal of December 2019.

The high school’s renovations are projected to take one month longer. Full completion of all district buildings is set for July 2020.

Fantasy showdown

O B S E R V AT I O N Wise old birds Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Among scores of both legitimate and suspect lines, we divide ourselves by race, gender, religion and age. Even more, we are segregated by others — marketing firms, corporations, institutions, politicians and governments — masterful in making us aware, if not obsessed with, our various forms and flavors. So, as we march into a new dawn of interest groups and identity politics, where is the guidebook that will help us know the difference between a sparrow and a swallow?

Alas, the notion of human variability is a bit more contested. Lines blur and various constituencies are locked in battle as to which can claim each of the contested subgroups as their own. Labels fly. Aspersions are cast. Still, most of us struggle to rise above the chatter hoping to make sense of it all.

Our children stay children much longer than in generations past. Still, they behave more like adults. Working, or not, fails to correspond with possessions. Maturity, or not, fails to correspond with procreation.

Intelligence and diligence, or not, fail to correspond with expectation. Have we lost sight of what it means to be an adult? Or, is the onset simply delayed a bit? Yet, even if we can attempt an answer here, do we expect to cherry pick the good and leave behind the bad?

The young (or youngish) are not to blame alone. Verified chronological adults abandon their families to “find themselves.” And maturity only loosely corresponds to age.

Without the onset of responsibility, can adulthood ever be achieved? Perhaps, we’ll know when we’re older.

As you may recall from last week’s column, my dance mom days are over, or at least on pause. My youngest decided to take a break from competitive HUMOR dance and has left me without an expensive, all-consuming role to fill. I still have another daughter in color guard, but she can drive and so can her friends, reducing me to the occasional French-braider or post-practice DQ financier.

Therefore, since work, four teenagers, a bald husband, a perpetually messy kitchen, the dog and the cat are clearly not enough to keep me busy, I am pledging my newly acquired free time to fantasy football domination. That’s right, men of Midnight Madness, you are officially on notice!

This will be my fourth season as the sole woman in an all-male league. My “Game of Thrones” shout-out team, “The Girl Has No Name,” has slowly but surely been rising in the ranks and is poised to break into the top four come playoffs. And now that I can completely devote my substantial and uniquely maternal skills to each weekly matchup, I’m confident I will reign supreme.

I am, after all, a veteran dance mom. I can easily pinpoint true competition amid a multitude of posers, discern between real injuries and carefully crafted drama, and recognize when the best course of action is simply to walk away from the emotional child in the dressing room. Translation? I know whom to start, whom to bench, and whom to trade (and when to use whom versus who!).

Rest assured, I will keep you posted. My fantasy football travails may not be dance theater, but they should prove entertaining.

Peace out.

READER’S VIEW Time for a change in the 5th District Editor I haven’t met Susan Brooks. She doesn’t hold very many pubic meetings or discussions with her constituents. In fact, she usually holds what she calls “listening” sessions, which are one-on-one, instead of holding open town hall-style meetings where many people can meet and discuss issues with Brooks. She is not very available to the citizens of the state she represents.

I have met Dee Thornton, however. I met her in her campaign office in Carmel, where she was available to speak to anyone who walked in. We talked about politics and about issues, and I made the decision that she will be the candidate for whom I vote in November.

Susan Brooks votes in line with Trump’s position 98.9 percent of the time (projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congresstrump-score/house/). Trump didn’t even get 98 percent of the vote in Indiana, so Brooks’ failure to seek out her own opinions and those of her constituents on issues disturbs me.

I want to vote for a candidate who

thinks independently about issues and does not simply follow the party line.

Dee Thornton thinks for herself. She supports raising the minimum wage; she laments the $5 million that have been diverted from Indiana’s public schools to charter schools and opposes vouchers for religious institutions. Thornton supports the Second Amendment but would like to reinstate the ban on assault weapons, ban bump stocks, raise the gun purchase age to 21 and strengthen background checks on those who wish to purchase weapons. She believes that climate change is real and supports national legislation that protects the environment.

I agree with Dee Thornton on these issues, and our current representative has done nothing to support any of these concerns. I know the person for whom I will vote in November — and I will vote.

I’m voting for Dee Thornton.

It’s time for a change in the Fifth Congressional District. You can find more Dee Thornton information at deethorntonforcongress.com.

Connor Prairie features ‘Black Pioneers’

Dancing with Our Stars to raise money for Meals on Wheels at Hamilton County

editorial@youarecurrent.com

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Julie Booth knows she will have mixed emotions when Dancing with Our Stars arrives.

“I am both looking forward and nervous for FUNDRAISER it,” Booth said. “I absolutely love to dance but I know once I am out there with all the eyes watching, my adrenaline and nerves will kick in. I tend to put high expectations on myself and want so badly to do well that it overpowers my ability to relax and have fun. I want to have the mindset of just have fun with it and enjoy the experience and learn from it.”

Booth will participate in Dancing with Our Stars from 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 6 at Embassy Suites by Hilton in Noblesville. St. Vincent is the presenting sponsor for the event, which benefits Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County.

Among the participants are Zionsville resident Kristi Lee, cohost of “The Bob & Tom Show,” and Chris Jensen, Noblesville Common Council member who is running for mayor in 2019.

Booth, an owner and managing director of aFit, which is focused on providing information technology, said dance instructor Rob Jenkins has worked with her to incorporate a statement about the evolution of women from mostly being worker bees in the ‘80s to being in leadership positions and owning businesses.

“Being someone who has often been the only, or one of very few, women in a room full of men ever since my engineering degree at Purdue to owning my own business, it makes this especially personal to me,” Booth said. “We have come a long way yet still have more to do.”

Booth eagerly accepted the challenge to participate.

“When I was asked, I thought, ‘Wait, I can help a worthy cause and dance at the same time? I am so in,’” she said. “I love to help others. My mom used to volunteer for Meals on Wheels many years ago. Knowing I am helping people is a big deal. And I just love to dance, so it is the perfect combination.”

Booth has danced routines in front of small audiences in Darren’s Ballroom showcases and ballroom competitions.

“No one watches ballroom competitions. I do them to challenge myself. And showcases have a very small audience and are not competitive at all,” she said. “So, the amount of people at this venue, having it be a DWOS format, and that I learned a brand new difficult dance in a short amount of time, all makes this much harder than anything I have done before.”

Riverview Health Chief Financial Officer Brenda Baker, a Noblesville resident, has attended the event the last couple of years.

“It will be great to be a part of it,” Baker Baker said. “I am just a little nervous about the performance. (Dance instructor) Suresh (Nair) is amazing, and I know that he will help me through it.”

Dance instructor Rob Jenkins with Julie Booth have been rehearsing since June.

(Submitted photo)

Baker served on the board of Meals on Wheels for seven years.

“It is an amazing organization that fills a need in our community,” Baker said. “I also occasionally deliver meals and have seen firsthand the impact that Meals on Wheels has on the individual clients.”

Derek Burton, a Fishers resident and Meadow Brook director of community relations, is eager to participate.

“I was nervous in the beginning, but my partner has helped me get past that feeling,” Burton said. “I am all about trying new things.”

Burton Mike Wickham, a loan consultant for Caliber Home Loans, said he is fortunate to help a good cause while having fun.

“I am very much looking forward to this event to help the cause for Meals on Wheels along with having some video footage of me dancing for my 4-year-old twin boys to get a good laugh,” said Wickham, who has been a spectator at the Wickham event for a few years.

Denise Abshire is another participant from McCordsville. Other dancers from Carmel are Michael Rothenberger and Anne White.

Other participants are Tom Ferrara, Fishers, and Indianapolis residents Dani Aleksa and Beth Cook.

Tyszka makes Indiana debut

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As the mother of two children younger than 2 years old, Brynn Tyszka had to take time off THEATER from the stage after moving to Carmel from Rochester, N.Y. in 2016.

“I’ve been craving it,” Tyszka said.

Tyszka is making her Tyszka Indiana debut in the Actors Theatre of Indiana’s “A Comedy of Tenors” Sept. 7 to 30 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

Tyszka was directing, choreographing, teaching and acting in Rochester.

“Farce is one of my favorite forms because I’m a naturally fast person,” she said.

“I love physical comedy. I like the challenge of making exaggerated characters real. In theater, we only tell stories of best and worst days. Farce is that on crack. It’s the best and worst day for people that are highly dramatic.”

Tyszka is excited about her character’s Russian accent.

“I love accents, and I have not done this one yet,” Tyszka said.

This is the Indiana premiere of the play.

Darrin Murrell, from Parker City, directed ATI’s last farce, “Unnecessary Farce,” in 2016.

“I’m always drawn to farce and comedy,” Murrell said. “I’ve had a long connection with ‘Lend Me A Tenor,’ which this play is a sequel to it.”

Murrell Murrell said he worked with the playwright of both plays, Ken Ludwig, in Chicago in the early 1990s. He also had good friends who were involved in the world premiere of “A Comedy of Tenors” in Cleveland in 2015.

Murrell said he is fortunate to have an amazing cast that will carry the production.

Westfield resident Don Farrell, one of ATI’s three co-founders, has a dual role of Tito and his doppelganger Beppo.

Farrell said it’s a great way to start ATI’s 14th season.

“You can lose yourself for two hours in hysteria,” Farrell said.

CCA Gallery to celebrate 40 years

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Westfield artist Elaine Wolfe takes great pride in her long association with the Center for Creative Art Gallery.

ART “For any business to last 40 years means you have to be doing something well,” said Wolfe, who does acrylic and watercolor paintings. “We’ve always had a group of artists who were willing to work together for the betterment of the good. There have always been enough of the older (members) around that we can mentor the younger artists. It’s always been a nice atmosphere at CCA. We’re happy when we sell, but we’re happy when a fellow artist sells something.”

Wolfe, 78, joined the gallery two years after it opened in Broad Ripple.

CCA Gallery, which moved to Carmel Arts & Design District in 2015 after 13 years in Zionsville, will celebrate its 40th anniversary from 1 to 4 p.m. Sept. 15 at the gallery, 111 Main St. Wolfe has been in charge of collecting former members’ artwork for what is called a Hall of Fame display.

co-op. Their membership fees pay the rent.

“In Zionsville, we typically had 25 artists,” said Indianapolis resident Gail Wiener, who is in her third year as CCA president. “This is a bigger space, so we are able to fit more in.”

Indianapolis resident Carol Clendening won the gallery artist contest, which was voted on by more than 250 visitors. Her painting, “Backwoods Secrets,” was made into a poster to commemorate the anniversary and is now on sale.

Pi’s Figgy Piggy pizza exudes sweet notes from the goat cheese and fig jam toppings.

(Photo by Anna Skinner)

Pi

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: Inside Sun King Spirits taproom and distillery, 351 Monon Blvd., Carmel What to get: Figgy Piggy Price: $12 Anna’s take: Pi is one of four restaurants inside Sun King Spirits, a taproom and distillery that features the emerging concept of food halls, where multiple eateries — each with different menus — are housed in one establishment. Upon entering the distillery, guests can be seated and browse menus from all four restaurants before choosing one. Guests also have the opportunity to sit upstairs or at the bar.

From Pi, I chose the Figgy Piggy. Pi’s pizzas are personal-sized that also can be shared. The Figgy Piggy consists of mozzarel-

la, goat cheese, fig jam, mushrooms and prosciutto with a heap of arugula in the center of the pie, all atop a thin, crunchy crust. The pizza is baked in a wood-fired oven, which creates a lightly charred crust. The goat cheese brings forth sweet notes that mellow the pizza and complements the fig jam and saltiness of the prosciutto. The arugula provides a fresh, nutty flavor that tops off the pizza. The crackle of the crust complemented the richness of the overall dish.

Because the dish is so rich, with a hint of

tartness from the jam, I recommend sharing it with another person and ordering one of the other pizzas, such as the Pineapple Express, which includes pineapple, ham and sea salt, and a meat lover’s pizza, among other varieties.

Suggested pairings: A pint of Osiris Pale Ale ($5). The beer makes a good pairing because it it’s a paler, hoppy beverage with a slight acidity that cuts the richness of the prosciutto on the pizza and harmonizes with the greens.

Behind bars: Matcha Bird Get it at Sun King Spirits, Carmel Ingredients: • 3 oz. passionfruit juice • .5 oz. matcha honey • 3 oz. Live Proud vodka • Mineral water • Sumac sugar rim Directions: Shake with ice and pour into glass with a sumac sugar rim. Top with mineral water.

Tibetan Parliament in Exile in McLeod Ganj, India. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A parliament without a country Commentary by Don Knebel In all but one of the world’s democracies, the parliament meets within the nation’s borders. The exception is Tibet, whose parliament meets hundreds of TRAVEL miles from the land it claims to govern.

In 1950, 15-year-old Tenzin Gyatso became the 14th Dalai Lama, making him the temporal leader of Tibet. In 1959, during a failed revolt against Chinese control, the Dalai Lama and a small entourage escaped to India, where the Indian government allowed them to establish a Tibetan government in exile in McLeod Ganj, a former British military town in the mountains of northwest India. Thousands of Tibetan refugees, often traveling by foot through Nepal, joined the Dalai Lama in McLeod Ganj, now known as “Little Lhasa.”

While still in Tibet, the Dalai Lama had advocated that Tibetans become selfgoverning. In 1960, he formed the Tibetan Parliament in Exile, with its home in McLeod Ganj and its members elected by refugees from the three traditional provinces of Tibet and from the four schools of Tibetan

Buddhism. In 2011, the Dalai Lama formally relinquished any role in the exile government, leaving control entirely to the elected representatives.

The single-chamber Tibetan Parliament in Exile is the legislative branch of the Central Tibet Administration. Although claiming authority over the entire lands and people of Tibet, the exile government focuses most of its attention on the needs of the approximately 125,000 Tibetan exiles, 100,000 of them in India, who pay voluntary taxes and receive in exchange a green book similar to a passport. Holders of the green book can then receive health, education and similar services provided by the Central Tibet Administration. In 2014, the Tibetan Parliament in Exile, with between 43 and 47 members, moved into a newly refurbished home in McLeod Ganj featuring a large portrait of the Dalai Lama.

DISPATCHES Driving on empty — Consistently driving your car with low fuel can cause damage to the fuel pump. The electric fuel pump is actually cooled by the gas in the tank. If you frequently drive around with low fuel, the pump may not be cooled enough and may fail. An occasional low gas warning won’t hurt anything. Just be sure not to be a repeat offender or you may pay at the repair shop later.

Wine with Mexican food — Pairing wine with Mexican dishes can be a challenge.

Many Mexican restaurants only offer beer or margaritas. If wine is on the menu, how do you choose? Since Mexican restaurant food can be heavy, the trick is to go with a lighter wine. Prosecco is a crisp, refreshing wine that goes well with most Mexican dishes. Pinot grigio is another light wine that’s very versatile with Mexican food.
