Today:   Old Lake County Courthouse managing director Carrie Napoleon joins us to talk about the upcoming east-side patio project ans the commemorative "legacy bricks" that will be used on the project.  Crown Point city employees saved the bricks from previous construction projects and put them in storage.  We also bring you a report from NPR's Audie Cornish, aired last week on "All Things Considered," on the podcast made by Steel City Academy students about the proposed solid waste processing and recycling facility to be built across the street from the school.  Cornish spoke to the students who voiced their concern about the Maya Energy LLC facility to Gary Common Council members and city officials.

We also have a remembrance of Holocaust survivor and historian Eva Kor, made by Indiana Public Broadcasting's Stan Jazstrebski, who was on a tour of former eastern European concentration campus.  He speaks with some of the people who were also on that tour, ten years ago, who fondly remember Kor. And Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra conductor Kirk Muspratt talks about this summer's concert series that begins on July 20 at Cedar Lake.

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.
