Save the Manatee
by Evamarie Spataro

estuaries, saltwater bays, canals and coastal areas. Manatees are important to their
ecosystems because they eat vegetation that grows in estuaries. Manatees are teetering on
the edge of extinction due to reckless boat-driving humans. There is much work to be done
and it can be helped with you. Find

Paper Mache Basset
& the History of
Papier Mache
by Jackie Hall
 Jackie Hall loves Papier Mache
and she caught our eye with her life sized papier mache Basset hound modeled after her
Basset named Bunty. So we loved the papier mache version of her Basset so much that she
mailed us a picture of the "original" Bunty, the inspiration for her artwork.
She says, "I have loads of toy Bassets plus ornaments as I get given them for
presents, along with Basset cards! My papier mache Basset has been to quite a few
exhibitions and I often get teased when I am out walking the "real" one as to
which one I am with!" Come see if you can tell the difference and learn more about
the history of Papier Mache!!
