Today: A conversation with Indiana economist, writer and speaker Morton Marcus about U.S. Census data that shows that communities in north Lake County are growing smaller and communities in south Lake County and in Porter County (including lakefront cities like Portage) are growing... and the reasons for the change.
Marcus also talks about what he discussed at a recent public meeting in Crown Point, and he takes a look at the latest Statehouse debate about how to pay for funding road and bridge projects. Morton says lawmakers are missing the point about it.
Purdue University-based state climatologist Ken Scheeringa (a Highland native) remembers the big Blizzard of 1967 in northwest Indiana -- 50 years ago today -- and if we could see another just like it anytime soon.
And Lakeshore Public Radio's Sarah Opat talks with a psychologist about mindfulness meditation and the benefits of it.
