City Council members approved the creation of a new parking commission in their meeting last night; Bloomington residents interested in buying solar panels may soon be able to save money by purchasing through the city government; The Department of Natural Resources’ Division of State Parks recently announced that work will begin this fall at Spring Mill State Park to restore a cabin linked to the founder of the Red Cross; Efforts continue to protect migratory species of endangered bats from death and injury due to energy-providing wind farms in Indiana.

FEATURE
Arts advocate Marc Tschida makes hand-crafted, wooden jigsaw puzzles featuring photographic images and artwork specific to Bloomington and South Central Indiana. His puzzles have become so popular, he’s now scaling back his job as a theater company administrator to produce them on a full-time basis. You can view his work at press puzzles dot com and they’ll be available in selected shops and locations soon. Making fine quality jigsaw puzzles is no easy task and, surprisingly, actual jigsaws are not used in the process. Marc joins Michael Glab on this week’s Big Talk to chat about how to make puzzles and his love for them.

VOICES IN THE STREET
This week’s edition ask Bloomington residents if they think Bloomington is an affordable place to live.
