VOTING IN ARKANSAS Alyce Kowal of Lakemoor, who has been a judge at our local elections for many years, received a letter from former Lakemoorites Ann and Paul Starzyk, now living in Prim, Ark. Ann had known of Alyce's worry about the correctness of procedures regarding elections, and the many hours of preparation that went into this public service. Well, Ann voted for the first time in Prim, and couldn't help but compare the rules there with Lakemoor. She was handed a piece of paper in a local store, given a pencil, and finding no booth for privacy, proceeded to check off her preferences using the top of a can of vegetables as a board. She never was able to verify how correctly the votes were counted or what procedures the officials un derwent to insure an honest election. Ann was amazed at the disparity in the election and appreciated 'he dedication of Alyce and her ilk more than ever. It is good to know that our judges go through training and are competent and thorough. LAKEMOOR INSIGHT Several Lakemoor residents have expressed dissatisfaction with ar ticles written in this column, saying that not all views were expressed Of particular dissension was the column regarding the problems with Fritz- sche Industrial park, and the sewer connections. Connie O'Rourke, for mer trustee of Lakemoor, recalls the many long hours she and other of ficials spent in trying to come to an agreement with BUI Fritzsche. The current dispute is now in court, where valuable money and time is being spent for no one's benefit except the lawyers. We live in a small community where feelings often take precedence over right. In appealing to the intelligence of all parties concerned, there was a hope for solutions that could prevent the waste of money, energy and community division.

June 24 - Lakemoor Village meeting, 8 p.m. June 24 - McHenry Nunda Library Board of Trustees open meeting, 7:30 p.m. at the library on Lily Lake road. HORROR OF TORNADO Edye and Joe Fitts, former residents of Lilymoor, now living in Marion, 111., wrote to Louise and Don Hipwell describing the recent disaster in Marion. Quoting from Edye's letter: "About this holocaust! Joe and I were driving right into this thing when I saw it coming - raining houses, birds, cars and people at will. We had no protection at all - too scared to pray, just thinking 'please hurry and get it over with'. "Joe backed our car away as far as he could and we took shelter in a doorway in town - everything else was locked. It is best described as a prehistoric monster out on a spree- breathing things in and out, planting its feeffhere and there, and swishing its tail behind It seems all the beautiful old well kept homes were completely demolished or partially ruined, which is worse. All the old shacks that should be burned are still standing. "My sister-in-law in Shawnee Village was wiped out. They managed to go back and get a few clothes. It Is so sad watching people picking through the ruins looking for a few things to salvage. My niece was in the "Taco Gringo" where she was working and was thrown out intoa field. She was so badly mangled that she had to have her leg amputated-and she is only 19 years old. "Enough of this gruesomeness...We have been under curfew, 8:90 at night for almost a week. No one is allowed in town except officials." We give thanks for Edye and Joe's safety, and sorrow with those who were affected by loss of life, limb and possessions. Sharing in the terror of a tornado with one who has been there, makes us realize how vulnerable we mortals are.
