In this bittersweet Parisian romance from Cédric Klapisch (The Spanish InnRussian DollsBack to Burgundy), warehouse employee Rémy (François Civil) and research assistant Mélanie (Ana Girardot) have never met, but they live parallel lives—they reside in neighboring apartment buildings, ride the same subway route, and are troubled by bouts of insomnia and depression. Their days punctuated by unfulfilling jobs, they seek meaningful romantic and platonic connection. As they stumble through psychotherapy, dating apps, fainting spells, and family visits, the seemingly star-crossed duo orbit around each other but remain just out of reach. Klapisch spins a delicate “what-if” from their compartmentalization, exploring our increasingly hermetic modern urban life. In French with English Subtitles.

Zoom to a Solarize meeting – Solar Indiana Renewable Energy Network (SIREN), Bloomington, IN
May 28 @ 7:00 pm

Did you know that you can get solar power for less than you’re paying now for your electric bill? Customers of Duke Energy can benefit from net metering until year 2032 and a 26 percent federal tax credit is available for 2020.  The Solarize program is open to residential, commercial and nonprofit property owners in Monroe and nearby counties.

Learn about the performance, cost and incentives for solar energy systems from Solar Indiana Renewable Energy Network volunteers. For the duration on the Covid-19 crisis, all presentations take place online via Zoom. Access codes will be emailed to you when you sign up. You will be able to ask questions of the presenters and the solar company.

You can register for upcoming sessions at www.tinyurl.com/HelpingYouGoSolar

SIREN acts as a technical advisor on a non-profit, volunteer basis. SIREN and its volunteers are not paid in any way. The City of Bloomington collaborates with SIREN on this program to further demonstrate its support for renewable energy. See https://bloomington.in.gov/sustainability/solarize for details. **the city does not subsidize purchases**

The Solar Indiana Renewable Energy Network (SIREN) formed in 2008 to promote an alternative energy model to reduce dependence on coal. Since then, we have continued to help more and more homes, businesses, churches, governmental buildings, and schools become solar powered. By presenting free, public Going Solar programs, and organizing Solarize group-purchase programs in partnership with city teams around the state, we help overcome barriers to adoption of solar in the Midwest by demonstrating its performance, affordability, and availability. If you want to see our culture move away from fossil fuels as a foundation, embracing the possibility of carbon-neutral energy, then join our efforts right here in southern Indiana.

Introducing 2020 for 2020. Let’s be honest—we are all concerned at this moment in time about what the future holds. Understandably, we are thinking about the future of the Brown County Playhouse, trying to ensure long-term sustainability and a bright future.

The Playhouse is a historical jewel that needs to continue the tradition of bringing great entertainment to our visitors and local folks as well for many years to come. So, after much thoughtful consideration, we came up with this idea for two win/win offers that can help us both. Here are two ways to support through this program.

We need your partnership. We need your support.This is our time to shine, working together to sustain and provide for the future of the Brown County Playhouse. There are many memories built through the decades of high-quality, historical performances, and many memories yet to be made. We all have a vested interest in this. Thank you for your support, both in the past and in the future.

“We would like to encourage shoppers who are concerned about crowd size to attend during the first hour as we want to give them the best experience for their situation.” The first hour will continue to be reserved for the elderly and immunocompromised for the next several weeks as the need is evident.”

The market will once again be located on the west side of the courthouse square in downtown Bedford. Customers will be able to park along J Street.

Many vendors accept WIC vouchers for fresh produce. The Bedford Farmers Market has also teamed with IU Health- Bedford to provide bonus vouchers to WIC recipients. The vouchers can be used when purchasing fresh produce.

The basic structure will remain the same, but customers can expect to see changes to each vendor’s displays. The use of pre-packaged options and order pick-up will likely be used more frequently.

The market has adopted the following Market Manners for attendees:

• Do not enter the market if you are sick.

• Make a shopping list.

• Send only one person from the family into the market.

• Wait in your vehicle if lines form.

• No pets will be allowed.
