He knows why birds fly, he can whistle with his fingers in his mouth, he’s really good at putting things back together, and he can tie any kind of shoe or boot. Ask him something, and he always has a quick reply although every once in a while — as in the new book “Maybe Dying is Like Becoming a Butterfly” by Pimm van Hest, illustrated by Lisa Brandenburg — there are things he really doesn’t know. Christopher just liked to hang out with his Grandpa, that was all. When they spent their day together, they did what they enjoyed doing most: they talked about things, this and that and a little bit of the other. So when Christopher found a caterpillar and he wanted to take it home to put in a jar, he listened when Find What You’re Looking For! in the Classifieds. In Print and Online! Call 665-5884 Grandpa said that was a bad idea. If they put it in a jar, Grandpa said, the caterpillar might die. That made Christopher think. He asked if Grandpa thought he might die someday. The answer was yes, someday, Grandpa would die but nobody knew when. “Not even Granny.” Christopher thought some more. He figured he might like to know when he was going to die, so he could hurry and visit the beach or maybe get a puppy. But Grandpa reminded him that he could do those things now, which was probably a better idea anyhow. Was it possible that Christopher might die before Grandpa? Yes, but MMC’s Bede Art Gallery Opens ‘Genres’ Exhibit Featuring Depictions Of Famous Women www.missourivalleyshopper.com The Bede Art Gallery is kicking off its spring season early this year with today’s opening of the exhibit “Genres” by Caiti Ziegenbein.

South Dakota Department Of Agriculture Seeking Summer Interns PIERRE, S.D. - The South Dakota Department of Agriculture (SDDA) is seeking to fill several paid internships for the summer of 2020. “An internship with the Department of Ag is a great opportunity for students to receive practical experience to add to their resume,” said SDDA Secretary Kim Vanneman. “Consider applying today!” The Department is offering internships with the following programs and locations: • Forestry Health, two positions, located in Rapid City • State Fair, Marketing/Events, located in Huron • Plant Pest Survey Specialist, three positions, statewide • Office of the Secretary, Communications and Special Projects, located in Pierre Applicants must be enrolled in secondary education and have completed a minimum of two years, or one year for Vocational Technical Institutes.

Christopher hoped that he and Grandpa might grow old together, but that wasn’t likely, either. It bothered Christopher a little that nobody really knows what happens after someone dies, though Grandpa said he wanted to go “to a place where it rains chocolate.” That made Christopher laugh, and it gave him more questions. Was Grandpa afraid of dying? Was it scary or were there things he might miss when he was gone? Or maybe — just maybe was dying something altogether different …? While it’s a very sweet story and the illustrations by Lisa Brandenburg are gently appealing, “Maybe Dying is Like Becoming a Butterfly” is not the kind of book you’ll want to get for an action-packed kid. It’s just not busy enough. No, this story is quiet, almost a little slow and very introspective, as author Pimm van Hest lets his characters unspool their day without a rush. That unhurriedness would be downright refreshing to an adult who’s reading this book aloud to a little one, if it weren’t for the somber subject — and yet, Pimm’s Christopher doesn’t treat his talk with Grandpa as anything sad. It’s more of a matter-offact learning experience, and the questions asked are framed perfectly — with childlike innocent, unobtrusiveness, and totally without being scary. If your child will be facing this issue with a grandparent this year, be sure to read the info at the back of the book to help parents and grandparents approach this sensitive subject. For the child who needs it, “Maybe Dying is Like Becoming a Butterfly” has wings. the pressures of day to day life and to say something constructive by the way of making fine art,” says Ziegenbein “Art may fill the blank wall in your living room, but it may also be a way you express your feelings; either way, it is incorporated in your daily life.” According to David Kahle, associate professor of Fine Arts at MMC, “Caiti should be very proud of her art exhibition. She worked extraordinarily hard in order to create this conceptual art show. The exhibit is organized in a timeline, beginning with the 18th century and depicts women of distinction who have participated greatly for the betterment of women and their MV Shopper MV Shopper M I S S O U R I VA L L E Y contributions toward the humanities. The exhibition concludes with the depiction of anonymous faces — which, in my imagination, serve as inspiration for others to follow.” All exhibits at the Bede Art Gallery are free and open to the public Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The gallery is located at 1105 W. Eighth St. in Yankton, on MMC’s campus, just off of the Marian Auditorium lobby.
