Then we'll get some sobering news - and maybe a little spark of hope - as we touch base with the CT Center for Economic Analysis. We'll get the latest low down on jobs and household income growth, how they are being impacted by the pandemic, and how legalized cannabis could go far toward propelling Connecticut out of the sorry economic state we're find ourselves in right now.

Finally, we'll hear from the Beardsley Zoo's lead educator on MonarchWatch - and learn a little bit about this important environmental partnership that puts everyday folks like you to work helping protect and sustain the world's endangered Monarch butterfly population.

After celebrating National EMS Week earlier we'll circle back with an EMT who you'll see running through Shelton for 24 hours next weekend to help raise funds for a new Echo Hose Co. ambulance.

Then we'll bring you some advice for folks who are aging in place while facing COVID-19 restrictions with our sources from Assisted Living Services, and the CT Association for Healthcare at Home.

Then it's time for some exciting news from the Aspetuck Land Trust - which just completed a key farmland preservation project, along with an update on the group's green corridor initiative and how everyone can be part of it.
