SHARE Caribbean Meal Slated March 30 The Caribbean Meal scheduled for Wednesday, March 23, at Peace Church in Yankton has been postponed by the SHARE volunteers until next Wednesday, March 30, from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. “The weather really interfered,” Distribution Team Leader Trinity Clark said. “We kept hoping to serve that wonderful menu, in spite of the weather forecast. But when school was cancelled, we knew we had better cancel, too.” “We don’t have a good relationship with the weather,” Outreach Team Leader Veronica “Roni” Trezona said. “We had to completely cancel the soup kitchen before Christmas due to weather and participation really suffered at another meal.” Set as a benefit to buy more meals for those who can’t afford it, decreased participation really hurts. “It hurts not only those in need, but the volunteers who put in long hours during the meals,” Trezona added. VERMILLION — Art.Write.Now.Tour 2015-16, a traveling exhibition showcasing more than 130 original pieces of art and writing by teens from around the U.S., including a Brandon native, is on display at the University of South Dakota John A. Gallery. The artists won the 2015 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Their work is also currently displayed at the Crazy Horse Memorial. Both exhibitions are free, open to the public and run through April 1. The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards is the country’s longest-running and most prestigious scholarship and recognition program for creative students in grades 7-12. In the 2015 program year, more than 300,000 works of art and writing were submitted for adjudication at the regional level in the awards’ 29 categories, which include poetry, painting, architecture, short story, fashion design and more. These emerging artists’ and writers’ works were first adjudicated regionally, then again on the national level by leading creative professionals. Notable past Scholastic winners include Stephen King, Robert Redford, Andy Warhol and Truman Capote. Alums who now work at USD include photo professor John Banasiak and Michelle St. Vrain, interim director of University Art Galleries. Jacob Boomsma graduated in 2015 from Brandon Valley High School in South Dakota and has one of the 130 pieces on display at USD, a digital photograph titled, “A Fast Food Nightmare.” “I felt very accomplished and proud of myself and optimistic for my future with photography,” said Boomsma, who’s studying graphic design and photography at the University of Minnesota Duluth. The Art.Write.Now.Tour 2015–16 and the Scholastic Awards are presented by the nonprofit Alliance for Young Artists & Writers and the tour is funded by the support of Scholastic Inc., The National Endowment for the Arts and Blick Art Materials & Utrecht Art Supplies.

This Kid Is Born To Run “The Quickest Kid in Clarksville” by Pat Zietlow Miller, illustrated by Frank Morrison; © 2016, Chronicle Books. 40 pages ——— BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER You are the best kid … at something. You can run the fastest. You can jump the highest. You’re the best skipper, the best hopper, or the best dancer. But what if there was somebody better than you? See what might happen in “The Quickest Kid in Clarksville” by Pat Zietlow Miller, illustrated by Frank Morrison. Alta was the fastest runner in Clarksville, Tennessee, and everybody knew it. She wasn’t as fast as Wilma Rudolph, but Alta was close and that made her dream. What, she wondered, would it be like to have three Olympic gold medals hanging around her neck? Would Wilma bring her medals to the parade she’d be riding in? The parade was tomorrow; Alta and her friends were even making a banner for it. And then some girl Alta had never met before came “sashaying” over with the brand-spankingest, whitest shoes Alta had ever seen. She said her name was Charmaine and her shoes sparkled — they were just made for running. Alta’s shoes had holes in them but shoes can’t tell who’ll win a race. Not even Wilma had the best things, at first. Alta challenged Charmaine to a race — and won. Charmaine challenged Alta to another race — and Charmaine won. Alta was sure that was because Charmaine tripped her. Or because Alta’s toe was poking out of the front of her shoe, which really made her sad because Mama said those shoes had to last … On parade day, while Alta and her friends were finishing the banner, Charmaine came by, strutting “like she’s queen of the block.” Alta wasn’t having any of that; she far preferred to remember that Wilma Rudolph, the fastest woman alive, was coming to town to be in a parade. Maybe she might even see the banner, and she might wave. As Alta started to run to the parade route with the banner, she suddenly realized that the banner was heavy and awkward. It wrapped itself up and caught the wind. It was long, too. There’d be no way she’d get to the parade in time. How would she ever make it? Who likes to lose? Nobody, that’s who, but there are times when losing isn’t a bad thing. Sometimes, it means winning and “The Quickest Kid in Clarksville” shows your child how that works. There’s a lot of sass and attitude inside this book, and charm all over: author Pat Zeitlow Miller’s main character has scads of it, in fact, but it’s a confident boldness that kids just can’t miss. Thanks to artwork by Frank Morrison, the fierceness never leaves Alta’s face, even when her new adversary steps into the ‘hood — a frenemy who’s surprisingly equal to Alta — leading to a show-down, an ultimate olive branch, and an ending that’ll make you smile. If your kids are curious, Miller also includes a page on the real Wilma Rudolph, putting this book into further prospective. That may be too much info for younger readers, but 5-to-8-yearolds might find “The Quickest Kid in Clarksville” to be the best. www.missourivalleyshopper.com ww www.missourivalleyshopper.com ww BULL SALES www.missourivalleyshopper.com Visit the Wour Web site at e f ng Selling by r www.missourivalleyshopper.com Private Treaty b?
