Lupton Elected Acting Warden

Sunday, 16 December 2012 10:06

For the third straight year, the Mayor of Zorra Township has been elected in as Acting Warden. Margaret Lupton has the ability to assume the responsibilities of the Warden if he's away or unable to act. She's looking forward to attending events on Don McKay's behalf. "Mostly what happens is that if he has a duplication of events on a night and he wants them both covered I attend or if he's away on holidays or on business I try to take his place," said Lupton. County Council elected Lupton in at their meeting Wednesday.
