The board of supervisors declared a
vacancy in the office of the Ringgold County Supervisors due to the death of Lloyd BEDIER on March 19, 2002. According
to Iowa Code, in the event of the death of an incumbent member, the county treasurer, auditor and recorder have to
fill the position by appointment within 40 days after the vacancy. Because BEDIER was an incumbent, his position
will be added to the ballot for the primary election on June 4, 2002. Nomination papers were turned in on March 27
for Wayne KEMERY, Kenneth QUICK and William REES to run for BEDIER'S vacancy. Those turning in papers to run against
incumbent Ethel CAMPBELL were David INLOES and Dianna PETERS.

high school FFA chapter held its annual awards banquet at the high school Monday. Top awards went to Holly MEESTER,
