our imagination is the limit when

it comes to Custom Upholstery,

Restoration or Re-designing of fine

furniture. Another home town busi-

ness, Upholstery Works, Inc. was

awarded the task of restoration and

preservation of furniture and furnish-

ings at historic “Taliesin”, Frank Lloyd

Wright’s home and studio in Spring

Green, Wisconsin. They were also

UPHOLSTERY WORKS!

“A LIGHT IN THE DARK” 

TRUSTEE RESIGNS

No, we are not talking poli-

tics. We are talking about

animals. Exotic animals. Thereare enough natural predators

like bears, cougars, coyotes and

the like in our area. We don’t

need alligators and big snakes

as well. Think about this: Amaz-

ing to look at, exciting to hold,

but when they get bigger, con-

Iresigned my position as a

Trustee on the Village Board

on September 15th. My resigna-

tion came just six months after I

was elected by a majority of your

votes. A combination of factors

led up to my decision, including

the issues that have arisen in the

past 6 months; including Fire De-

partment management, new de-

velopment projects and propos-

als for change. On a personal

note, I apologize for my early de-

parture from public office. Six

months ago, you elected me to

represent your best interests andthe interests of the community. I

had hoped to serve as an agent

of change with new ideas and to

promote growth in Lannon. I re-

gret that I was not able to con-

vince my fellow Trustees that

progress was essential to the fu-

ture of Lannon. In light of recent

selected as a Design and Crafts-

manship Award Winner by Up-

holstery Journal Magazine.

Their shop is located in theheart of town at 20549 W.

Main Street. Joe Ilnicki is a mas-

ter craftsman who can turn

your ideas, plans, and projects

into reality. For exceptional ser-

vice, call Joe for an estimate at:

events that have transpired

within the structure of local vil-

lage government, I felt that the

highest standards I set for myself 

would not allow me to properly

represent you on the Village

Board. I stepped down to better

serve you and the community in

a capacity that may be more ef-

fective. We will move forward.

Change is inevitable. We must

get more involved in the govern-ment process to make it happen.

When the opportunity to join

with other progressive individuals

to make this happen presents

itself, I would be honored to rep-

resent you again. We must be the

watchdogs of our local govern-

ment and hold them account-

able. We have an obligation to

ourselves, our children and to the

future of this community to sup-

port those elected officials who

will serve in our best interests. It

was a pleasure serving you and I

sincerely hope that my brief ten-

ure on the Village Board was a

step in the right direction.

sider them sold. When the kids

say, “I think we need a bigger

cage”, I think maybe you need a

bigger brain. How do you sup-

pose an alligator ended up in the

Chicago River? It didn’t migrate – 

it was dumped there (or was

flushed there). Predators eat

prey. The prey can be naturally

occurring or moved into the area

in a U-Haul. Small dogs, cats and

children can be the appetizers

and when the predators get big-

ger, adults can be the main

course. Ask any taxidermist - I

don’t think that we were meantto be the stuffing. Before you

buy a big squeeze or something

with a thousand teeth, consider

the end result. These predators

belong in a Zoo or the faraway

wild. I don’t want to run into

them on the Bugline Trail. Bikes

are not designed for 14-foot

crawling or slithering speed

bumps. I don’t want all thesehungry reptiles roaming about

on my property—they might get

the idea that they can eat all my

yard gnomes. When dealing with

predators I think that it’s better

to pray than be prey.
