Reanna is a graduate of YHS and USD and is currently an MFA sculpture candidate at the University of Montana in Missoula as well as a co-director of FrontierSpace, a non-profit alternative contemporary art gallery in downtown Missoula. Regarding her exhibit Reanna says, “The sculptures themselves are passive, but the materials are meant to have an unsuspected aggression. By using these pragmatic construction materials, I want viewers to take a step back and consider how they value women and their capabilities.” The exhibit will be on display through July 19 and is free and open to the public. The gallery is open Monday-Friday 1-5 p.m. and Saturdays 1-3 p.m. • The third annual Meridian en Blanc (MeB) fundraiser for Yankton Area Arts People’s Choice awards to be announced at a reception Aug. 5 t GAR Hall.

Lots of kids do; everybody loves a good treat. Other people like biking, puppies, candy and video games, too. You’re unique, but you have a lot in common with a lot of people and in the new book “Lincoln and Kennedy: A Pair to Compare” by Gene Barretta, you’ll see how two great men were alike, a century apart. When you first take a look at Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy, they’re just two ordinary Presidents. Lincoln was a Republican, Kennedy was a Democrat. Lincoln was born in 1809, Kennedy was born in 1917. Lincoln’s family was poor; Kennedy’s was definitely not. So far, so different, right? Not so fast. Both men were military leaders: Lincoln in the Black Hawk War, and Kennedy in World War II. Both were elected to the House of Representatives, Lincoln in 1846 and Kennedy in 1946. They were nominated for the Vice Presidency 100 years apart, but neither won their election. Lincoln and his wife, Mary, lost a child before moving into the White House, and then again after their move. Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline, lost a child before moving into the White House, and then again after their move. Wow, huh? Just wait ... Lincoln absolutely hated slavery, and did everything he could to stop it; that’s why he was a Republican, since that party wanted to end slavery.

Barretta doesn’t try to Jim Crow laws, make things light; he states facts in straightforward, simple and wanted to give language, allowing his illustrations to bring the smiles here.

For them — and maybe even for you — “Lincoln and the cause. In 1963, Kennedy: A Pair to Compare” is a nice treat. Kennedy presented a Civil Rights bill to Congress. Lincoln was shot on a Friday in Ford’s Theatre; Kennedy was shot on a Friday while riding in a Ford Lincoln. Andrew Johnson took over the presidency when Lincoln died; Lyndon Johnson took over the presidency when Kennedy died.
