Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Theatre Adventure – Laura Lawson Tucker and The Traveling Troupe 10/22/25
Q: How did Theatre Adventure originally come to be and what few moments defined its early days?
Laura explains that it started from an idea to include Elijah, a child with cerebral palsy, in a shared storytelling experience, which evolved into a full program with support from community figures and the Wright partnerships, eventually becoming an independent nonprofit in 2019.
Appeal of VT and NH Water Quality Certifications for Hydropower Facilities
Q: What can communities do to stay involved?
Communities can read the draft environmental impact statement, attend upcoming public hearings, submit comments during the open period, subscribe to CRC newsletters for updates, and support the appeal through donations and membership.
Appeal of VT and NH Water Quality Certifications for Hydropower Facilities
Q: What is the core issue with the water quality certifications that CRC is appealing?
The core issue is that the conditions are not sufficiently specific or enforceable; they rely on after-the-fact plans and do not adequately address habitat protection, sediment movement, and climate-change related risks, which could affect long-term river health and community recreation.
What’s New with SYNC? 5/7/25
Q: What services is SYNC currently offering, and what are the plans for expansion?
SYNC currently runs a peer-to-peer parent support group and educational sessions with expert speakers at a host site, plus childcare and sensory materials. Looking ahead, they want to extend services to older children and expand outreach to outlying rural towns, possibly incorporating virtual options to improve access.
Info About The Gathering Place 2/21/25
Q: How is the program funded and how can families access it?
Funding is primarily through Medicaid, with some private payment options and a sliding-fee scale; families can visit the center, schedule a tour, or contact the office for more information and potential transportation arrangements.
