Display at Olde Towne Gallery
Camden ceramist Jeanne N. Henry, recent Georgia Southern grad, has a flair for beautifully designed functional pottery. She likes to share a love of her art by making it useful as well as decorative, and her work will be displayed at Olde Towne Gallery, 304 Osborne Street in downtown St. Marys throughout July. Come in for a latte at Cedar Oak Cafe and leave with a handsculpted mug or pot from the gallery.

A little something you can do to help with the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico...
The Audubon team in the Gulf has asked the St. Marys EarthKeepers to help spread the word that the preservation and upkeep of green spaces is vital at this time - as is supplying bird food. Millions of migratory birds pass through the affected Gulf area on their way to nesting and breeding grounds across North America and they will seek areas of safety. It is thought that our region will see an influx of these species. (The brown pelican, roseate spoonbill, American oyster-catcher, reddish egret, red knot, royal tern, snowy plover, seaside sparrow and clapper rail are of particular concern).

(The Canadian government also requests that people be particularly alert for such species as the loons, the piping plover and others who may have ingested toxic ingredients in the Gulf and are then found in GA. Legal international action against BP is underway for the criminal violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act).

Please alert the Coastal Georgia Audubon Society (912-638-3986) or The Louisiana Chapter (225-768-0820) with any reports of deceased, unusual or suffering birds. Fill your feeders if you have them - milk cartons can be used to create them if you do not - and watch carefully.

I know that we all wish to be more proactive during this disaster, but small things can make a profound difference to so many species in peril.
