by Allene Maloney Paul James Porter was born on Aug. 28, 1900 on a farm in Linn County near Enterprise. He was the second of four sons of Charles James Amos and Mary Hanman Porter. After high school, he served in the U.S. Army at Camp Funston, KS during World War I. He obtained a law degree from the University of Missouri at Columbia, then a master’s degree from Northeast Missouri State Teacher’s College at Kirksville.

Mr. Porter began his teaching career in rural Linn County one-room schools and was school superintendent at Huntley, NE for a year and a half. He served as principal at Galt High School for one year, 1932-33, then was superintendent

I Remember Trenton A Glimpse of Our Past for 32 years, retiring in 1965.

During his early years of teaching in Galt, Mr. Porter lived during the summer in Chillicothe, where he had an office (having been admitted to the bar association in 1936) and practiced law with Scott Miller, a leading attorney at the time. He would return to Galt when school opened in September.

He married Vivian Tolle on June 1, 1935. Miss Tolle was born in Galt on Sept. 18, 1913, the youngest daughter of Abraham L. and Hortense Payne Tolle. Her father had been the publisher of the Galt Sun and Herald newspaper and later was associated with the Warren and Gillespie Furniture Store. He became a rural mail carrier in Galt in 1911, retiring on Sept. 1, 1931.

Mr. Porter had been a Galt resident four years and was serving on the utility

board in 1936 when the city applied for a WPA grant to gravel their streets. This was completed by the end of 1938. In December of that year, the Galt School applied for a federal grant to cover the cost of building a separate concrete and brick building to house the new vocational agriculture department and the complete remodeling of a five-room house across the street from the school playground for a new home economics department. They also built an addition to the old building of a new gymnasium and auditorium with a modern stage, study hall and additional classroom.

These projects were completed before school opened in September 1939.

A dedication ceremony was held on the stage in the newly-added auditorium on April 27, 1940. According to an article in the Trenton Republican-

WASHINGTON (AP) — The demand for mail-in ballots is surging. Election workers need training. And polling booths might have to be outfitted with protective shields during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As officials prepare for the Nov. 3 election, one certainty is clear: It's coming with a big price tag.

“Election officials don’t have nearly the resources to make the preparations and changes they need to make to run an election in a pandemic,” said Wendy Weiser, head of the Brennan Center for Justice's democracy program. “We are seeing this all over the place.”

The pandemic has sent state and local officials scrambling to prepare for an election like few others, an extraordinary endeavor during a presidential contest, as virus cases rise across much of the U.S. COVID-19-related worries are bringing demands for steps to make sure elections just four months away are safe. But long-promised federal aid to help cash-starved states cope is stalled on Capitol Hill.

The money would help pay for transforming the age-old voting process into a pandemic-ready system. Central to that is the costs for printing mail-in ballots and postage.

There are also costs to ensure in-person voting is safe with personal protective equipment, or PPE, for poll workers, who tend to be older and more at risk of getting sick from the virus, and training for new workers. Pricey machines are needed to quickly count the vote.

Complicating matters is President Donald Trump’s aversion to mail-in balloting.

With worrisome regularity, he derides the process as rigged, even though there's no evidence of fraud and his own reelection team is adapting to the new reality of widespread mail-in voting.

“As cases of coronavirus in this country rise, it’s vital that all voters be able to cast their ballots from home, to cast their ballots by mail,” said Sen. Amy Klobuchar, DMinn.

A COVID-19 response bill passed by the House in May contains $3.6 billion to help states with their elections, but the Senate won't turn to the measure until late July. Republicans fought a $400 million installment of election aid this March before agreeing to it.

But key Senate Republicans seem likely to support more election funding, despite Trump's opposition, and are even offering to lower a reSee Election, Page 3

BACK ON TOP Thorne, Fries And Richman Win Tourney The 2019 edition of the Riverside Country Club Classic was an outlier. It was a rare instance where Derek Thorne and Evan Fries - along with teammate Chad Richman didn’t find their names at the top of the leaderboard when the event concluded.

The 2020 RCC Classic, however, was a return to the norm.

Thorne, Fires and Richman carded a two-day total of 108 to win the three-man, scramble-style tournament held of the weekend by three strokes.

After shooting a 56 on Saturday, a mark that placed the trio in a three-way tie for third, the team ran away from all challengers on Sunday, posting a mark of 52, the lowest 18-hole total for any team of the entire tournament.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Kevin Molino scored in the seventh-minute of second-half stoppage time as Minnesota United rallied with two late goals to beat Sporting Kansas City 2-1 on Sunday night in the MLS is Back tournament.

The opener of Group D was highly entertaining and switched midway through the second half after Sporting Kansas City was the dominant side early in the match. Minnesota stole the victory with two goals in stoppage time as Kansas City was unable to hold on after going down to 10-men.

Minnesota pulled even in the second-minute of stoppage time after Jan Gregus’ free kick into the penalty area was directed into the net by Kansas City’s Khiry Shelton for an own goal. Five minutes later, in the final minute of stoppage time, Molino’s left-footed shot beat backup Kansas City goalkeeper Richard Sanchez to give the Loons the victory.

Kansas City was reduced to 10-men after goalkeeper Tim Melia was shown a red card

for a tackle on Minnesota’s Aaron Schoenfeld in the 74th minute. Even before Melia was sent off, the Loons had taken control of the match.

Ethan Finlay appeared to pull Minnesota even in the 64th minute but the goal was overturned on video review after Molino was ruled offside.

Schoenfeld hit the crossbar moments later and Hassani Dotson’s open header in the 90th minute sailed over the crossbar.

Minnesota played without star defender Ike Opara, midfielder Osvaldo Alonso and scratched Luis Amarilla after he sustained groin injury in pregame warmups.

Shelton gave Kansas City the lead in the 43rd minute after a goalkeeping mistake by Minnesota’s Tyler Miller. But Kansas City was unable to capitalize on its dominance over the first 60 minutes.

Minnesota (3-0-0) remained unbeaten on the season after opening the year with wins over Portland and San Jose prior to the MLS season coming to a stop in March.

Kansas City (2-1-0) opened the season with a pair of wins over Vancouver and Houston.

UP NEXT Kansas City: Sporting will need to bounce back on Friday as they face the Colorado Rapids in Group D action at 7 p.m. Colorado fell 2-0 to Real Salt Lake Sunday night.

Minnesota: The Loons take on Salt Lake in Group D play on Friday, kicking off at 9:30 p.m.

quirement that states put up matching funds to qualify for the federal cash. “I’m prepared not only to look at more money for the states to use as they see fit for elections this year but also to even consider whatever kind of matching requirement we have,� said Roy Blunt, R-Mo., chairman of the Senate panel with responsibility for the issue. “We can continue to work toward an election that produces a result that people have confidence in and done in a way that everybody that wants to vote, gets to vote."

The pandemic erupted this spring in the middle of state primaries, forcing many officials to delay elections by days, weeks and even months.

They dealt with poll worker cancellations, polling place changes and an explosion of absentee ballots.

Voting rights groups are particularly concerned with the consolidations of polling places that contributed to long lines in Milwaukee, Atlanta and Las Vegas. They fear a repeat in November.

As negotiations on the next COVID-19 relief bill begin on Capitol Hill, the final figure for elections is sure to end up much less than the $3.6 billion envisioned by the House. That figure followed Brennan Center recommendations to prepare for an influx of absentee ballots while providing more early voting options and protecting neighborhood polling places.

Even before the pandemic, election offices typically work under tight budgets. Iowa Secretary of State Paul D. Pate, who's president of the National Association of Secretaries of State, said the group has been calling on the federal government to provide a steady source of funds, particularly to help address ongoing costs of protecting the nation’s election systems from cyberthreats.

For Georgia’s primary last month, election officials spent $8.1 million of the roughly $10.9 million the state has received in federal funds. The money was used to send absentee ballot applications to 6.9 million active registered voters and print absentee ballots for county election offices.

Some of it also was used to purchase PPE and secure dropoff boxes for counties.

Meanwhile, the state elections division has seen a $90,000 reduction for the current budget year as Georgia — like the rest of the nation — deals with a decline in revenues due to the pandemic.

The state’s remaining federal funds will be used to help cover the costs of developing an online system for voters to request absentee ballots, less expensive than sending ballot applications to every voter, and exploring whether installing plexiglass dividers around voting machines could allow more voters in a polling place at one time.

In Colorado, a universal vote-by-mail state, the Denver election office has had to reduce its budget by 7.5%, nearly $980,000. Jocelyn Bucaro, Denver’s elections director, said the federal funds sent this year helped with purchasing PPE and other pandemicrelated supplies.

Iowa similarly spent its federal dollars on mail-in ballots and pandemic supplies, Pate said.

Vote-by-mail veterans and vendors of the equipment, software, ballots and envelopes that will be needed in November say the window to buy them is quickly closing. “Right now, what I’m seeing in most places is just this kind of indecision. What are we supposed to be planning?

Vote by mail or in-person or combination?" said Jeff Ellington, president of Runbeck Election Services, which prints ballots and the special envelopes used to mail them and supplies high-volume envelope sorters.

"Decisions just need to be made so people can start to put a plan into place,� he said.

BlueCrest, a Pitney Bowes spinoff, sells high-volume sorting machines that handle up to 50,000 ballot envelopes per hour. That’s the kind of crunch big counties can expect to face Nov. 3 in states including Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, where Rick Becerra, a vice president at the company, said he’s been talking to officials. The machines average $475,000 each. “I tell them the time is now," he said.

schools. Other guests included Hugh Graham, county school superintendent and Mayor R.E. McCracken of Galt and a member of the Galt School Board. The principal address was given by W.H. McDonald, president of Culver-Stockton College of Canton and former superintendent of Trenton schools.

During his tenure as superintendent, Mr. Porter was instrumental in Galt High School having classes in vocational agriculture, home economics and advanced typing, shorthand and bookkeeping. He taught business law, geography and psychology classes and was the main substitute during the absence of another teacher.

Anyone attending Galt High School between 1932 and 1965 will remember Mr. Porter was noted for slipping up behind a student who was misbehaving (spitballs, passing notes, talking in class or study hall) and pulling their earlobe. In 1970, the Class of 1945 held its 25th reunion at the high school and although Mr. Porter had been retired for five years, he came to the open house. Earl Vencill, a 1945 class member, was proud to point out that one of his earlobes was “slightly longer� than the other, as though it was a merit badge.

After World War II, Mr. Porter worked with Lelan Ryan, county extension agent, and Elmer E. Fick, Farm Service Agency supervisor for Grundy County, to set up an on-the-farm training program for military veterans. Students were paid to attend the classes to study and develop modern farming practices. Galt’s first

class had 28 students. Classes continued for several years and veterans of the Korea and Vietnam conflicts were able to earn “balanced farming� certificates.

Mr. Porter and his wife, Vivian, became parents of a daughter, Paula Sue, in 1947.

She was a 1965 graduate of Galt High School.

Mr. Porter died on Nov. 23, 1981. His obituary stated he was a member of the Presbyterian Church, served on the Galt Utility Board for a number of years and was a member and past master of Trenton Masonic Lodge Godfrey deBouilion Commandery No. 24 KT. He was also a member of Trenton RAC Chapter No. 66, Trenton Council No. 37, Trenton Lodge No. 111 AF&AM and was past patron of Medicine Chapter No. 140, Order of the Eastern Star at Newtown.

He was a charter member of the Galt Lions Club, which was formed in 1962.

Mrs. Porter died on July 3, 1999 in Isabel, KS, where she had moved in 1983 to be near her sister, Mary Tolle Lynch.

The Porters are buried in the Galt West Cemetery.

Betty and Judd Baugher of Trenton were wintering in Florida in 1985 and had signed up for free dance lessons at Clearwater. The dance instructor introduced herself as Paula Porter, daughter of Mr. Porter.

In 1981, when her father died, she was living in Wilmington, DE and when her mother died in 1999, she was living in Ft. Pierce, FL.

CDC, WHO: Wearing A Mask Will Help Slow The Spread Of COVID-19

by Colleen Wouters Missouri Information Corps As Missouri experiences its highest number of positive COVID-19 cases yet, several counties and municipalities have begun encouraging or requiring people to wear masks when going out into the community.

Columbia, a city that recently passed a mandatory mask order, specifies in the city ordinance that “a face mask may be factory-made, or may be handmade and improvised from ordinary household materials.�

Clay, Jackson, Johnson and St. Louis County have all adopted mandatory mask orders that take effect in July, in addition to Columbia, Kansas City and St. Louis City.

Currently, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization both recommend the general public wear cloth face coverings.

If you’re experiencing symptoms or think you might have COVID-19, do not visit public spaces. But if you need to, wearing a face covering or mask can greatly reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Why should I wear a mask?

The latest prediction from the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation

suggests that 33,000 deaths could be avoided by October if 95% of people wear masks in public.

According to the CDC, face coverings help prevent respiratory droplets from traveling through the air and onto others when the person wearing the mask coughs, sneezes, talks or raises their voice.

It’s important to cover up because even if you aren’t feeling sick, you could still be transmitting the virus.

COVID-19 spreads through these respiratory droplets, often from people who haven’t started experiencing symptoms yet.

A 2020 study found that the droplets can “remain infectious in indoor air for hours, and be easily inhaled deep into the lungs.�

Although cloth face coverings aren’t 100% effective as a barrier, “a mask has been shown to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 to other people when social distancing of 6 feet cannot be maintained,� Lynelle Phillips, an MU nursing specialist in communicable diseases, said.

Who should wear a mask?

The CDC recommends people wear face coverings in public and when around others who don’t live in a single household, especially when other

social distancing measures are hard to maintain.

There are some exceptions to the rule, such as children younger than two years old, anyone who has trouble breathing and people with certain disabilities.

For those who are not able to wear a face covering, the CDC recommends a few adaptations and alternatives in addition to taking other preventative measures, which include social distancing, frequent hand washing and disinfecting high-touch surfaces.

What type of mask should I wear?

The CDC and WHO recommend the public wear cloth face coverings, not surgical masks or N95 respirators. “Those are critical medical supplies that should be reserved for health care workers and first responders,� according to the CDC. If you’re able, use a cloth face covering unless your job specifies otherwise. If you don’t have access to a mask, you can easily make one at home.

Though the CDC recommends reserving medical masks for medical professionals, Phillips still emphasized “masks are better than no masks, no matter what they are made

Missouri Investigating Fake Medical Marijuana Certifications JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The state of Missouri is investigating a St. Louis company that it says approved 600 fake medical marijuana certifications.

State investigators say Lou Moynihan, 33, knew or participated in the fraudulent activity that likely occurred through telemedicine visits when the company, WeedCerts, launched last year.

In a Facebook post by Moynihan on June 22, days after the state announced its investigation, WeedCerts said it had alerted the state to the po-

tential fraud in May, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The Facebook post denied any “fraudulent� activity, but in a subsequent unsigned post, WeedCerts said it got “too fast and loose� with the certification process and that it was “not so innocent.�

The state said someone improperly used Dr. Allison Medlin's name to certify patients. Investigators had no indication the doctor knew someone was using her information to sign up patients, according to a state spokeswoman.

RUSSELL LIVESTOCK MARKET 31683 US Hwy. 34, Russell, IA 50238 • Barn Phone (641) 535-6065 Weigh Cows - 10:00 am • Feeders - 11:00 am

Medlin said she only learned someone was forging her signature when a WeedCerts patient called asking for her medical records.

"When I learned of this, I immediately notified authorities who initiated an investigation. I look forward to a timely resolution,� Medlin said in a statement.

Moynihan did not respond to numerous requests by the Post-Dispatch for comment.

No company by the name of “WeedCerts� appears to be registered with the Missouri secretary of state.

Hundreds of patients are now scrambling to recertify and the integrity of Missouri’s medial marijuana patient-approval process is in question.

of. Just wear a mask.�

How effective are masks?

It’s important to note: Cloth face coverings will not protect you from inhaling the virus; rather, they can help stop you from spreading it. Not everyone who has COVID-19 shows symptoms, so wearing a face covering is an added precaution to limit community spread of the virus.

A recent National Institutes of Health study concluded that “wearing any kind of cloth mouth cover in public by every person, as well as strict adherence to social distancing and handwashing, could significantly decrease the transmission rate and thereby contain the pandemic until a vaccine becomes available.�

How do I safely put on a mask?

The CDC has a list of steps to properly put on a mask or face covering: • Wash your hands before putting on your face covering. • Put it over your nose and mouth and secure it under your chin. • Try to fit it snugly against the sides of your face. • Make sure you can breathe easily. • Don’t pull the mask around your neck or up on your forehead. Don’t touch the face covering, and, if you do, wash your hands as soon as you

MISSOURI NEW FISCAL YEAR STARTS budget comes from income taxes, fees and federal funding. A team of individuals from the Missouri Senate, Missouri House of Representatives and the executive branch pour over thousands of individual line items for many months before delivering a budget to the governor for his consideration.

The operating budget for Fiscal Year 2021 totals $35.3 billion. Despite the fact we were able to do some forward thinking last year, the COVID19 pandemic has taken a large chunk of money away from the state, and we have had to budget based on an economy that went from red-hot to severely damaged in a matter of weeks. Because of these challenges, the governor was

After a long road of hard work and incredibly difficult decisions, Missouri has a budget in place for the new fiscal year.

As chairman of the Missouri Senate Appropriations Committee, I have seen firsthand the COVID-19 virus’ devastating effect on our state’s bottom line. Despite the virus’ impact on our state’s spending plan for 2020-2021, I firmly believe the budget in place funds the priorities of our state.

A nearly one-year process came to a conclusion on June 30, when the governor signed the 13 appropriations measures that comprise the budget for the state’s fiscal year, which runs from July 1 through June 30 of the following year. Funding for the state operating

How do I keep my mask clean?

A group of Stanford researcher makes the following recommenda tions: “Treat your mask like your tooth brush. Don’t share it with anyone, and keep it in a plastic Ziploc bag when not in use,â€? said Larry Chu, a Stanford professor of anesthesia and director o the Anesthesia Informatics and Media Laboratory. • When you remove the mask from your face, hold it only by the ear loop or ties so you don’t spread germs. • Always wash your hands afte touching the mask. • You should also wash your cloth face covering in the washing machine after each use.

Other precautionary tips to remem ber Finally, the CDC has emphasized the following: • “Stay at least 6 feet away from others. • Avoid contact with people who are sick. • Wash your hands often, with soap and water, for at least 20 seconds each time. • Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.â€?

forced to veto approximately $11 million in spending and withhold another $448 million Withholdings can be replaced later in the budget year, if rev enues increase, though.

By making difficult decisions and utilizing federal funding, believe lawmakers were able to pass a budget that ensures our government remains open funded and able to serve the citizens of our great state. As we move forward, it is possible the governor’s withholds wi not be enough and further cuts to the state’s 2021 spending plan will have to be made. pray this doesn’t happen, bu we must be prepared for this incase our state’s economy doesn’t immediately bounce back.

Dear Annie: I guess I need to be brought into 2020 on an issue of wedding etiquette. I lived for several years in the Deep South, and it was a common practice to feed your family before attending a wedding, BBQ or other function, especially when you had children. The reason is so that your spouse and kids would not swarm the appetizer table or buffet line and completely embarrass you Recently, I attended a wedding where one woman and her spouse brought their six kids.

Additionally, there were countless other children. There was an appetizer table set up while the wedding party had photos taken, and the children acted like they hadn't eaten in weeks. They also ran, played tag and generally acted like it was a game to see who could take the most from the table. They did not get food and then find a seat to settle down and eat. An 86-year-old man, a family member of the groom, left before the meal as he was concerned someone would make him fall!

There was a cash bar there as well. I, too, left early -- and I am the parent of one of the people being married. The children were already running without

any parental supervision, and I did not think alcohol was going to improve the situation.

Was I wrong to just ignore the hoards of children running through the dance floor and dashing under tables?

I did not know all the people to ask them to control their children, but I also did not feel it was my place -- Confused Southerner Dear Confused Southerner: I'm sorry that you had to experience that. I don't think it matters if it's 1920 or 2020 -- allowing children to take all of the food and run around as if it's recess on a playground is incredibly rude. Their parents should have stopped them and explained that they need to be respectful during a wedding and that it is an honor to be invited, so they should act accordingly.

In hindsight, you should have said something to the parents of the children -- politely and firmly.

Dear Annie: I live in an apartment with my boyfriend, and the neighbor next door keeps coming out of her apartment to investigate who is at our residence. Or she comes out when we have company and rudely interrupts our gathering.

Pandemic-proof bet?

The coronavirus pandemic has ravaged much of the retail landscape — but big chains deemed “essential” have largely been spared.

Costco Wholesale is among those that have remained open, benefiting from panic buying in the early weeks of the outbreak and enjoying consistent demand since.

Apart from a modest drop in April, the warehouse club operator’s sales have risen sharply every month this year.

Last month Costco’s sales climbed 11.1% from a year earlier to $16.18 billion.

The news helped push Costco’s shares Thursday to

an all-time high.

Some analysts expect the stock could still move higher from here.

CFRA Research equity analyst Garrett Nelson recently raised his 12-month price target on Costco to $375 a share from $360. He also lifted his earnings per share estimates for Costco’s current fiscal year and the next. “(Costco’s performance) indicates a resurgence in consumer buying and restocking in June that has positive implications for (Costco) and other supercenter retailers,” Nelson wrote.

DOWN 1 James Bond, for one

ear Annie

She has to know who is there and what we are doing. She purposely eavesdrops on our conversations and has called our landlord. She even called the police, giving false statements that my boyfriend and I were fighting. We have been threatened by the landlord that we have to move out if we don't stop, despite our explaining that there is no fighting.

We don't bother her, and we do not have any other issues with her. We have tried to get along with her. We even told her she does not need to come out every time someone visits us. I have started documenting her actions, and since I get along with all the other neighbors in the building, I am going to get statements from them as well.

She doesn't talk to us, but she continues to come out to investigate.

What is the best advice to get her to stop the unnecessary invasion of privacy? What is my next step? -- Tired of Nosey Neighbor Dear Tired of Nosy Neighbor: Your next step is to talk to her again. Ask her to kindly mind her own business. If she does not, then you can continue documenting her snooping.

Give the documentation to your landlord and save a copy for your records.

You have every right to feel comfortable in your own home and don't need to put up with someone intruding on your personal space.

Two Injured In Area Accidents

Princeton and Chillicothe residents were injured in area accidents investigated by the Missouri State Highway Patrol over the weekend.

Anna Martin, 24 of Princeton received moderate injuries in a one-vehicle accident on Saturday night in Sullivan County. The patrol said Ms. Martin was the driver of a truck that was westbound on Route E, five miles west of Milan and traveled off the right side of the road. The driver overcorrected, causing the truck to then go off the left side of the road and strike a fence before overturning.

Ms. Martin, who was not wearing a safety device, was taken to the Sullivan County Memorial Hospital in Milan for treatment of her injuries.

The truck was demolished.

The accident was investigated by Trooper Brandon Pearson. He was assisted by the Sullivan County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department, the Sullivan County Ambulance Service and the Milan Rural Fire Department.

Michael McKean, 67, of Chillicothe received minor injuries in an accident on Sunday afternoon in Grundy County.

The patrol said McKean was the operator of a motorcycle that was westbound on Highway 6, three miles west of Trenton, when the motorcycle struck a deer that ran into the roadway. McKean, who was wearing a safety device, was taken by the Grundy County Emergency Medical Services to Wright Memorial Hospital at Trenton for treatment of his injuries. The motorcycle received minor damage.

The accident was investigated by Cpl. D.R. Reuter, who was assisted by the Grundy County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department.

Ralph E. Parker Ralph E. Parker, 95, of Crivitz, WI, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, July 9, 2020, at the home of his daughter in Crivitz, surrounded by family and friends.

Visitation will take place at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, July 29, 2020 at the Rhodes- Charapata Funeral Home in Crivitz, with a Masonic service to follow at 10 a.m. The funeral will be held at Faith Presbyterian Church at 11 a.m. with interment and military honors immediately following at the Crivitz Cemetery.

He was born on March 31, 1925, in Los Angeles, CA, the son of the late Ralph and Wilma Axtel Parker. On Dec. 29, 1947, he married Emma Katherine Witten, whom he lovingly called Kay. She preceded him in death in 2013.

Ralph lost his beloved mother at age 11. Within a few years, he and his father moved from California back to his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown in Missouri.

His father married Florence Evans Parker and took up farming again. Ralph proudly entered the U.S. Navy in 1944, after requesting a termination of the automatic exclusion heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d received for working on his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm. He was assigned to repair anti-aircraft and deck guns and ultimately served as a gunnery instructor.

Upon discharge at the rank of gunnery mate second class, he assisted on the farm while attending Trenton (Missouri) Junior College. Thanks to the G.I. Bill, he continued his education at the University of Missouri. After graduating with a degree in business administration in 1950 he began a management career with J.C. Penney. He served various stores in Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska over the next 15 years.

He left Penneys in 1965 to purchase a franchise for the Skogmos department store chain in Onawa, IA, which he owned for five years. The advent of discount stores such as Kmart

led to the downfall of many small businesses such as this.

Ralph moved on to real estate, insurance and banking beginning with the Sloan (Iowa) State Bank. He retired after 16 years as vice president of the Onawa (Iowa) State Bank.

Upon retirement, he and Kay moved to Crivitz to be near many of their grandchildren.

Ralph always endeavored to return something to each community in which he lived through volunteer work and participation in service-oriented organizations. He was involved in a leadership capacity in the Chamber of Commerce in every community in which he worked. Service organizations he served included Kiwanis and Lions clubs, Masonic Lodge, Habitat for Humanity, Community Chest, sheltered workshop, Crivitz Food Pantry, Crime Stoppers and he was a volunteer worker at PET, assembling self-propelled carts for disabled persons. He was equally active and committed in each church to which he belonged. In addition to these many activities, he was a school board member in Onawa, IA; on the real estate board of appeals in Iowa; was a founding member of and volunteer for the Town of Stephenson (WI) recycling center; was on the town hall building committee also in Stephenson; and was a supervisor for the 1990 U.S. Census.

His service to others and commitment to community continued into his 93rd year. He liked

to think that each place he lived might be just a little bit better for his having been there.

He was equally devoted as a husband, father and grandfather, quietly sharing his strength, talents and wisdom with the next generations. His young family took annual camping trips introducing the children to the wonders of this country. He braved camping again when near 90 to share time with his extended family.

After their children were grown, he and Kay enjoyed traveling to different parts of the world, often with friends.

He loved reading to and playing games with his grandchildren. He spent long hours gardening and working in his yard. Golf became a passion after retirement, resulting in his setting a goal in his late 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to golf a score equal to his age â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which he achieved.

He is survived by two daughters, Pam (Jim) Kanikula of Crivitz and Nancy Konegni of Greenfield, WI; a son-inlaw, Kim Konegni of West Allis, WI; grandchildren, Molly (Michael) Arndt of Waukesha, WI, Joshua Konegni (Ricardo Ardila) of Palmdale, CA, Amanda (Joe) Volpentesta of Greenfield, WI, Jon (Brynn) Kanikula of Eagle, WI, Allison Parker (Jeff Roelke) of Eagle, ID and Brad Parker and Eric Parker of Jackson, WY; seven great-grandchildren; one great-great-granddaughter; two sisters-in-law, Neta Witten and Marylin Hoffman of Columbia; and a niece, Virginia Washburn of West Lafayette, IN. He will be sorely missed by them all.

In addition to his wife, Ralph was preceded in death by their son, Alan (Cynthia); his brother, William; and a sister, Elizabeth (Ed) Chase.

Condolences may be sent in care of Pam Kanikula, W9861 Kanikula Lane, Crivitz, WI 54114.
