Three Chinese mitten crab specimens are photographed by the water outside of Copps Island Oysters in East Norwalk, Conn. Thursday, June 18, 2020. The invasive species of crab has been spotted recently in the waters of the Housatonic River. The crabs are a major problem because of their burrowing activity that can compromise the integrity of levees and waterfront construction and rapidly increase stream bank erosion.Tyler Sizemore / Hearst Connecticut MediaShow MoreShow Less

Months after Conair’s former owners sold the Stamford company to New York investors, a member of the Rizzuto family appears to be looking to do the same with his “ranch” on the city’s wooded northern border owned once by a heavyweight boxing champion during the 1920s.
The property known as Star Meadow Ranch was listed for sale over the weekend for $20 million, amid an ongoing stampede by New York buyers for homes and land in Connecticut.

“Yeah, no. I don’t want to talk about that .”
I was calling a friend not about Derek Chauvin but rather about whether or not she planned to get the COVID-19 vaccine. As of Monday, President Joe Biden announced that every American, 16 years and older, is eligible for the vaccine and I was curious how she would proceed.
“I mean, we don’t have to talk about it,” I offered. ”I was just wondering if you’ve made a decision …”
“Nope not going there,” she told me.
