By Mark Mirko Verified| WSHU Public Radio@ It’s a snowy winter morning and Connecticut oyster farmers Kim and Gretchen Granbery are setting out for their last harvest of the year. The couple owns and operates Leetes Island Oysters. They start their oysters from seed in the wild in Branford’s Hoadley Creek. The oysters are then moved to the Thimble Islands to age for three years. Since travel by boat is difficult when this inland estuary freezes, this is the pair’s last trip of the winter.

By Chris Polansky Verified, Mark Mirko Verified| WSHU Public Radio@ Following Tuesday’s drive-by shooting in Hartford that claimed the lives of a young mother and her infant son, violence prevention advocates – who are all too familiar with gun violence – say it’s time for a change. Janice Hill and other members of Mothers United Against Violence gathered near the scene of the shooting that killed 20-year-old Jessiah Mercado and 4-month-old Messiah Diaz. Hill lost her son, Alford Grayson, in a 2015 shooting. This week’s news brought back painful memories.
