City notes

As we work our way into 2014, it never hurts to look back and reflect on the year that's passed.

The city is happy to support the "Bears to Beijing" trip -- if you're interested in donating, visit the schools' website.

Mayor Don Leach, Vice Mayor Debbie Johnson and I reflected on 2013 and looked ahead at the next 100 years, with the help of Superintendent Paul Imhoff.

Lastly, we presented the 2013 Community Awards:

Chuck Nutter of Nutter Hardware and Handyman Services won Business of the Year. Upon reading the nomination forms, it's not hard to see why.

Two main reasons emerged: During the extended power outage two years ago, Nutter Hardware remained open for business, operating with cash sales, handwritten notes and loaning out items. Likewise, Nutter Handyman Services assisted with volunteer labor during the construction of the Barrington Welcome Playground.

Chuck Nutter practices what he preaches -- customer service and doing the right thing.

This year's Community Enrichment award went to the Barrington Welcome Playground executive committee and the Leadership UA Class of 2013.
