The Lismore Fire & Rescue had another great turnout for their annual fund raiser on Saturday evening. One couldn’t go wrong with “all-you-can-eat” BBQ pork or turkey! The soft-serve ice cream was a hit with the young and old. If you were lucky enough to win a prize at the event, that was an extra bonus! Cliff Altman introduced Nate Harberts as the newest member of the department. He also announced that Alex LeBrun, Tom Knips, and Adam Diekmann have completed the Fire Fighter 1 training, which is a huge accomplishment. Cliff also noted that the town of Kenneth, MN along with nine sections are part Lismore’s coverage area. The new Lismore Bar owners, Ron and Tamisha, were introduced and given a round of applause. Thank you to all Fire & Rescue personnel for your service! You are appreciated.
“Team Phoebe” participated in the annual Eastern South Dakota Heart Walk on Saturday, August 19, at Falls Park in Sioux Falls, SD. Phoebe Vargas was born with a congenital heart defect in November 2009. She endured three open-heart surgeries, the first one when she was just 7 days old! She had another surgery at four months and the third when she was 18 months old, in addition to several hospitalizations and “way too many” pokes, tests, procedures, and doctor appointments. Phoebe’s mom, the former Jean Lorang (daughter of Ruth and the late Marv Lorang) says her daughter Phoebe, a cute little girl with a “crazy heart”, has taught her family to count their blessings and live each moment to the fullest. Today Phoebe is 7 years old and ready to start 2nd grade at St. Mary School in Dell Rapids, SD.
