The Bloomington Songwriter Showcase presents original songs by Rick LeDune, Steve Boller & Bill Headley.
Join friends and community members who are working for a national health plan, Medicare for all.
Cari Ray’s songs sound authentic because they are. Born into a musical family and raised on a rural Indiana farm, her musical roots were planted in bluegrass, blues & southern gospel. And while her style lands solidly in the Roots/Americana category, flavors of her early influences peek through in her songs. The Cash-esque “Red Line” will take you rattling down the tracks with a jilted lover while the ballad “Lighting” will stir you with a story about passionate love with poor timing. Whether relaying triumph or tragedy, her songs have a universal quality that allows the listener to effortlessly drop into the story and live it for him or herself.
After winning a GRAMMY for his soulful ballad “Walking in Memphis,” Marc Cohn solidified his place as one of this generation’s most compelling singer-songwriters, combining the precision of a brilliant tunesmith with the passion of a great soul man. He’s a natural storyteller, balancing the exuberant with the poignant, and able to distill universal truth out of his often romantic, drawn-from-life tales.
Cohn followed up his platinum-selling debut with two more releases in the 1990s, at which point TIME magazine called him “one of the honest, emotional voices we need in this decade” and Bonnie Raitt declared, “Marc is one of the most soulful, talented artists I know. I love his songs, he’s an incredible singer, and I marvel at his ability to mesmerize every audience he plays for.”

At The Venue we are constantly on the look out for new and engaging artists and their art. From our first exposure to the wire mesh sculptures of Bonnie Shanas, we knew we had found something very special.
Bonnie studied sculpture primarily in Israel, before returning to the US and her home in Cherry Hill, NJ. In her artist statement for The Venue Bonnie has written:
“As a student of psychology and an enthusiast of human nature, I have always been intrigued by underlying allusions and the universal body language. The genuine truth expressed through the subtlety of the unspoken gesture is my inspiration for sculpture of the human form. Through these images emerging from a cloth of wire, I hope to capture and share these intimate yet universal expressions. The unimposing transparency of the material intended to offer a moment or a memory, which each observer can make his /her own. ”

The DNR will once again stock Spring Mill Lake in Spring Mill State Park with rainbow trout.
The 26-acre lake has a history of rainbow trout stockings. However, in 2006 the DNR stopped stocking Spring Mill Lake because it had become filled with sediment and public access and interest in fishing was limited.
A recent dredging project removed the sediment, and park staff rededicated the lake last year. In the works are a new boat ramp, boat rentals, fishing docks and fishing education programs, according to Mark Young, property manager.
Anglers must have a trout and salmon privilege stamp if they intend to fish for or harvest rainbow trout. Stamps can be purchased anywhere fishing licenses are sold. The inland trout program is funded through this stamp. The daily bag limit for trout is five fish per day. Minimum size limit is 7 inches.
Spring Mill State Park is 3.5 miles east of Mitchell on State Road 60 in Lawrence County.
With Gen Kelsang Demo, Resident Teacher

A Presentation by Jennifer Pearl
The algae-induced tap water ban in Toledo, Ohio. Widespread fish deaths in Long Island. A dead-zone the size of Connecticut in the Gulf of Mexico. America has a mounting water crisis. Our cities are facing persistent drinking water contamination stemming primarily from nutrient pollution, which is excessive phosphorous and nitrogen washing into bodies of water. Sources include sewage, manure, agricultural runoff, storm water, and wastewater.
On Tuesday, beginning at 5:30 p.m., The Venue will host a presentation by Jennifer Pearl, Jennifer is a China-focused public affairs strategist specializing in policy, strategic communications, and partnership and program management. Her Master’s is a dual degree in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs and East Asian Language and Cultures. She has extensive experience in guiding teams to achieve impactful partnerships, smart policy, and international business success in healthcare, higher education, trade, and poverty alleviation.
While living and working in China, Jennifer was able to observe the extensive use of Chinese biogas toilets and digesters, and recognized that they could play a critical role in improving our infrastructure to address our water challenges. In her presentation Jennifer will explain how biogas toilets can effectively harness sewage sludge and manure to produce methane for electricity and slurry for fertilizer. From a liability to an asset. From a big part of the problem to an even bigger part of the solution.
