“It was like a dream come true. A blessing to get the opportunity to sign and further my education and baseball career,” Hanford s Felix Bravo said after signing his National
Sunflower Biennial exhibition opens this week
By Gary Demuth
Layna Kinnaird believes her painting about imperfection is full of imperfections.
That’s why the Salina Central High School junior was surprised that her painting “What’s Wrong with Your Skin?” was chosen as one of the representative pieces in the 2021 Sunflower Biennial exhibition opening this week at the Salina Art Center.
“I’m really excited, but I wasn’t expecting this one to get in,” she said. “It’s not one of my favorites because I wanted to spend a little more time with it.”
In other words, Kinnaird is being a perfectionist about a painting that celebrates imperfection. Her painting, which she created with gouache paint and Swarovski crystals, is a portrait of an African American man with vitiligo, a skin disease that creates white blotches on the skin.

Reagan Ciabattoni
Rock it old school back to 1960: “She’s a mean motor scooter and a bad go-getter.” That describes Reagan when the ball is dropped between the lines, but otherwise she is just the nicest kid. Just don’t cross sticks with her. Reagan was named the 2020 Player of the Year in Delaware Division I field hockey, helping Cape to its ninth state title in the last 10 years. A cage fighter with a mask, Reagan plays defense when the other team gets a corner and charges the ball with no regard for life or limb, for herself or the shooter. And on offensive corners, her high-ball hitting and backhand slapping are legendary. Her goals are always heard before seen, like thunder and lightning. Reagan joins Jacki Coveleski, Tiara Duffy, Tess Bernheimer, Alia Marshall and Cami Smith as Vikings who’ve earned Player of the Year. Reagan will play club ball this winter and in the spring help out the girls’ track team.
