BRATTLEBORO — I would like to correct a grievous omission.

As stated in Alyssa Grosso's article, the Vermont Center for Photography is moving to 24 High St. in Brattleboro. Chris Triebert, the longest-serving member of the board of the VCP, is responsible for finding and designing this new space, generating a workable floor plan that meets VCP multiple functions: gallery, darkroom, digital classroom, library, printing and scanning facility, and thrift store.

Chris has raised a huge portion of the money needed for the move.The expanded VCP location would not be a reality if it was not for her dedication, determination and intelligence.

She has worked tirelessly to create an exciting venue for VCP.

What was the bustling industrial center of Bellows Falls a hundred years ago has slowly been converted over the past two decades into an exceptional public park. An area polluted, abandoned, and neglected for most of the past century has been the focus of volunteer citizens working to convert the 8-acre former industrial site into an inviting, environmentally safe outdoor space for the community. But somewhat hidden away and accessed from the village only through the alley-like, narrow Mill Street,

Since I published my Viewpoint in The Commons [“No more secrecy,” Voices, Aug. 11], detailing the various investigations into Robert “Zeke” Hecker's behavior with students over the years and the culture of complicity that gave him ongoing access to them, numerous other people have come forward with stories of grooming and abuse by Hecker and others at Brattleboro Union High School. I have been working with local parents, survivors, and advocates to push for actions from BUHS and the Windham...

Going up

Wednesday, May 12, 2021 — Issue 612

A donation of $10,584.30 has come to the Broad Brook Community Center project toward the goal of adding a lift to the historic building's second floor. Wild Root Arts, the organization that managed the Hooker-Dunham Theater & Gallery from 1999 until 2006, raised the money during that era but failed to find major funding sources because the Brattleboro space is privately owned. The $2.2 million Grange project is now in its final round of construction, a phase that includes installing...
