America's Best Birder?
It might be Nathaniel Sharp, winner of the World Series of Birding. This West Fairlee resident tells how he and his team 'the B.B. Kingfishers' spotted 186 species during a 24-hour South Jersey birdathon. "We hit every spot we could think of," says Sharp, a staff biologist at the VT Center for Ecostudies in Norwich, in the latest edition of "Suds & Science."

Burlesque Liberation
"I like to think of burlesque as a cross between stripping and musical theatre," says Johanna Evans on SPARK! JAM's Upper Valley Arts show with Amanda Rafuse. "The person onstage is in control, creating the story, informing your desires....I felt through burlesque I was able to be the best sexual expression of myself." June's JAM theme is "Liberation" in celebration of Pride Month, Juneteenth, and the liberation of all.

"Now that's what I call a record of all the songs about White River Junction, VT! The wait is over!" Who knew WRJ was such a muse?
