![]() Event: Iris Dement Date/Time: Wednesday, August 14, 2024 @ 7:30pm Venue: Buskirk-Chumley Theater 114 E Kirkwood Ave, Bloomington, IN 47408 Description: With an inimitable voice as John Prine described, "like you've heard, but not really," and unforgettable melodies rooted in hymns, gospel, and old country music, she's simply one of the finest singer-songwriters in America as well as one of our fiercest advocates for human rights. On her transcendent new record, Workin' On A World, Iris DeMent faces the modern world — as it is right now — with its climate catastrophe, pandemic illness, and epidemic of violence and social injustice — and not only asks us how we can keep working towards a better world, but implores us to love each other, despite our very different ways of seeing. Her songs are her way of healing our broken inner and outer spaces. Her debut record Infamous Angel, which just celebrated its 30th anniversary, was recently named one of the “greatest country albums of all time” by Rolling Stone, and the two albums that followed, My Life and The Way I Should, were both nominated for GRAMMYs.

The City of Bloomington Seeks Community Feedback on Indiana Avenue Safety and Improvement Concepts7/23/2024 The City of Bloomington’s Planning and Transportation Department is calling on residents to provide feedback on initial safety and improvement concepts for Indiana Ave. This initiative comes in response to concerns raised through a community survey, which gathered input from about 250 people about improving Indiana Ave. According to the survey, only 43% of residents feel safe along the Indiana Avenue corridor and less than 20% of bicyclists express a sense of safety.
The project aims to address these safety concerns through two proposed concepts:
Residents can complete a feedback form regarding these proposed concepts via an online survey at bton.in/inave. The survey will remain open until Sun, Aug. 4. The third public meeting for further design review and feedback will take place on Tues, Aug. 13, 2024 at 5:30 p.m. at the Sample Gates. For more information, contact the Planning and Transportation Department at 812-349-3423 or visit the City of Bloomington’s project web page at bton.in/inave. Indiana businesses and residents affected by severe storms and tornadoes on June 25 are eligible to apply for low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration, SBA Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman announced today.
Administrator Guzman made the loans available in response to a letter from Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb on July 17 requesting a disaster declaration by the SBA. Businesses and residents in the declared area can now apply for low-interest disaster loans from the SBA. The declaration covers Monroe and Vigo counties and the adjacent counties of Brown, Clay, Greene, Jackson, Lawrence, Morgan, Owen, Parke, Sullivan and Vermillion in Indiana, and Clark and Edgar in Illinois. “The SBA is strongly committed to providing the people of Indiana with the most effective and customer-focused response possible to assist businesses of all sizes, homeowners and renters with federal disaster loans,” said Guzman. “Getting businesses and communities up and running after a disaster is our highest priority at SBA.” After a fun-filled summer of camps, Constellation is thrilled to kick off the school year with a robust line-up of fall classes, running September through December. With after school, evening, and weekend options for Littles (grades K-2), Kids (grades 3-6), Teens (grades 7-12), and Adults (ages 18+), there is a little something for everyone. As a fresh take on previous class formats, Constellation is excited to offer ensemble-focused classes that celebrate the collaborative and community-building nature of the performing arts.
This fall, each ensemble-based class will be working on material from a specific show or genre. Classes include Treasure Island for Littles, Acting Ensemble for Kids: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Broadway Kids Chorus, Found Footage Filmmaking for Teens, and Musical Theater Workshop: The Broadway Ensemble for Adults, and more. Constellation’s Education Director, Eric Shelley, has seen first-hand the impact of his programming. “Getting a front-row seat to students’ artistic journeys from week to week allows me to witness personal growth of the individual as well as the ensemble as a whole. Whether it’s a class of 1st graders or a class of adults, the communities being built within the walls of Constellation Studios have a strong and enriching collaborative foundation resulting in more confidence, composure, and authentic self-expression across the board.” ![]() Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations (IPBS) announced today that George Walker is being inducted into the IPBS Hall of Fame. Walker served for 45 years as a classical music host and producer for WFIU Public Radio and retired in 2022. Established in 2023, the IPBS Hall of Fame honors outstanding champions of public media with ties to Indiana and the industry who inspire confidence in and from others, work to increase value in people and situations, focus on good, and invest time in purposeful activities. Inductees are selected annually. Walker will be inducted into the IPBS Hall of Fame along with Alan Cloe, former executive vice president of WFYI Public Media in Indianapolis; Bob Ross, American painter and art instructor best known for creating and hosting television’s The Joy of Painting, produced by Ball State Public Media in Muncie; and Harvey Stauffer, host of The Blues Revue on 88.1 WVPE-FM in Mishawaka. “George was a model of consistency across what might have been a record tenure,” said WFIU/WTIU station operations director John Bailey. “We can’t find any evidence that another daily music host in the history of U.S. broadcasting served one station for longer in that role.” ![]() Ivy Tech Community College’s Bloomington campus is offering a free Certified Clinical Medical Assisting (CCMA) training course. The 16-week class will be held July 23 through October 31 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the North Lawrence Career Center in Bedford, Ind. Costs for the training course and certification exam are paid for by a grant from IU Health. The CCMA skills training course is designed to quickly prepare students for work as professionals in multiple healthcare settings. Medical assistants with a clinical background perform various tasks including assisting with the administration of medications and with minor procedures, performing an electrocardiogram (EKG), obtaining laboratory specimens for testing, educating patients, and other related tasks. The course includes in-person instruction and a certification exam administered by the National Health career Association (NHA). In addition to preparing students for entry-level clinical medical assisting jobs, this course is also ideal for students interested in pursuing a future Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) or nursing (LPN/RN) career.
