Regionally Speaking, Wednesday, June 14, 2017

University of Notre Dame

Today:  A conversation with Julie Giorgi of "Promise Porter County."  Beginning this coming school year, the seven Porter County school districts are going to participate in a joint effort to give the families of first-graders an opportunity to be able to save for college, vocational or trade school or other post-secondary educational facility.

Marc Malczewski, Lake County Highway Department Director, joins us to give us an update on all of the major road resurfacing and improvement projects that are underway -- will be starting soon -- or are planned for the summer months.

Lakeshore Public Radio's Dan Clark talked to Chicagoland Popcorn co-owner and President Dwayne Walker about the company's expansion plans.  The family business is in the process getting ready to open a new store across from Lake  Central High School in St. John.

And "CounterPoint" TV host Garrard McClendon and his in-studio guests talk about the issues of the price of body parts and if we actually own our own DNA.

Chris Nolte produces and hosts “Regionally Speaking” aired weekdays from noon to 1:00 p.m. He's also the temporary local "Morning Edition" host.
