Today:  Northwest Indiana financial advisor Greg Hammer joins us again, this time to offer some wise financial advice on how to best use a 2017 income tax refund.  He says the average taxpayer got a refund of several hundred dollars and some get back one thousand dollars or more. 

We bring you another conversation from the Welcome Project at Valparaiso University.  This conversation is from a woman who recalls her family life in Gary and how her mother hesitated to move out of the home in which she lived with her husband and raised her children.

We revisit our lengthy conversation with Indiana state Senator Ed Charbonneau (R-Valparaiso), who's worked hard for years to get legislation enacted to better deal with our state's aging water infrastructure.  And we bring back our conversation with "Joshua D,"  a Dyer native who's known for his creation of one of the world's most popular online games.

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.
