At Your Service
Second to more restaurants, the next most wanted shopping addition that residents needed was a hardware
store, according to the details of the 2011 Healthier Barrington Needs Survey. Thanks to John Brown and the Village of
Barrington, we now have a hardware store in town. Brown, who worked in Corporate America for 27 years, was retired.
Yet after six months, he found renewed passion in the opening of Barrington’s Ace Hardware. Brown completed his store plans
with a group of 12 employees, all locals. The official ribbon cutting was on November 13, 2012.
“I’ve been a Barrington resident for 23 years and I’m proud to be able to offer Barrington just what they need and want.
Together, with my friendly employees, we offer Barrington residents an incredible inventory, uncompromised customer service
with a neighborhood atmosphere … and we’re here to help.” Special services and products that Barrington Ace Hardware offers
include: a propane exchange and propane fill station; Craftsman ® tools; screen and window repair; key duplication; Toro ® snow
blowers; Benjamin Moore and Ace brand paint; a 30,000 piece inventory; and the ability to order special parts from the Ace
Distribution Center.
The Barrington Ace Hardware store is located at 906 S. Northwest Hwy. Hours are: Mon-Fri 8 a.m.-8 p.m., Sat. 8 a.m.-5 p.m.,
and Sun. 10 a.m.–4 p.m. For more information, contact the store at 847-304-4325.

BACOG Water Quality Testing Program
We Make Your
Travel Dreams
A Reality
Barrington Area Council of Governments is asking private well owners to complete
an annual water quality test during National Groundwater Awareness week in March.
Homeowners with private wells are responsible for maintaining their own drinking water
quality and septic systems. To ensure safety conditions, each year private well owners
should check for bacteria and nitrates using a well water quality test.
BACOG works with the Lake County Health Department to bring residents access to water testing.
You can pick up a test kit at participating BACOG Village/Township offices for $10 between Mon.,
March 4, and Thurs., March 7. On Mon., March 11, return your water sample to The Garlands of
Barrington, 1000 Garlands Ln., Barrington from 3:30-7:30 p.m. Homeowners that participate in the
water quality test can sign up for annual notifications to re-test, and receive a well and septic guide.
Groundwater hydrologist, Steve Wilson, from the Illinois State Water Survey will offer a live webinar
program at The Garlands of Barrington on March 11, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. The purpose of the webinar
is to help homeowners better understand how to properly care for their water well so that their
water remains safe to drink.
For more information about the event, and to find out which
Village/Township offices are selling kits, visit www.bacog.org or

Finding a Forever Home
Like people, animals have distinct personalities that make them unique. And, like people,
animals can end up losing their way, needing help to find their place in the world. Animals, like people,
have been affected by the economy. At Animal House Shelter (located in Huntley) it has been a
banner time for finding dogs and cats without homes, medical care, or food. The shelter gives the
animals a warm and friendly environment in which to live, addresses their medical needs, and feeds
their hunger. When a family adopts a dog or cat from the shelter, they can count on the fact that
their new pet is happy and healthy, spayed or neutered, and all up-to-date on shots.
Quintessential Barrington, in an effort to help Animal House Shelter, will feature their dogs and cats
here to encourage adoption. Open your world to the unconditional love that a pet is sure to bring.
At Animal House Shelter, a nonprofit, your adoption fee is tax deductible, and the adoption fees are
lower than other options for adding a pet to your family. Learn more about Animal House, a no-kill
shelter for all breeds of dogs and cats, at www.animalhouseshelter.com.

educator, and single mother. Phelps was able to raise three children and simultaneously
have a successful career in education. She is currently the Director of the Education Foundation
for Baltimore County Public Schools.
This year’s honorary
chairwoman will
be Debbie Phelps.
Phelps is a motivational

and her book, “A Mother for All Seasons: A Memoir.” Her work focuses on her own
experience as a single mother and the challenges she faced during this period of her life.
As part of its relief program, FHC provides homes
for families in need. Mothers must work while saving
money and setting goals to pay off debt and fix their
credit scores. This organization helps an average of 18
families per year, and to date, 10 families have received
homes from Habitat for Humanity.
Stonegate Conference & Banquet Centre is once again the location of this year’s FHC gala.

Shine Bright Like a Diamond
BHS-TV Students Win Rihanna’s National Diamonds Contest
By Abe Solberg
“Shine Bright Like a Diamond” is a Rihanna song, but also a mantra for Barrington High School
students. That is what the BHS-TV class was able to showcase, and that is why Rihanna is
coming to BHS. The pop superstar will be visiting sometime in early 2013. Schools around the
country competed to bring Rihanna, attempting to create a unique video that showcases the
many ways their students give back to the community (locally, nationally, and internationally).
The video produced by BHS-TV was selected out of 53 submissions.
Our BHS-TV crew is pictured above. The project was fronted by Peter Chung, a junior, with
help from our teacher, Jeff Doles. Mr. Doles found out about the contest, encouraged us to
compete in it, and he guided us along the way. His unyielding belief in our abilities allowed us
to produce a video worthy of recognition. Making a video takes a lot of time. A five-minute
video can take up to 12 hours just for editing. Add to that more time to schedule, organize,
set up, and film, and a five-minute video can turn into days of work. All work was done at BHS,
though most was done after school. The entire process was supervised by Mr. Doles, who
donated his free time to help us. “The project required the efforts of the entire production
team,” Chung said, “through long hours of work, we created a video to be proud of.”
While it was technically a video contest, the video was only a vehicle to highlight the philanthropic
efforts of the BHS student community. We set out to show where and how BHS
students give back. While we made a quality video, we are not the students responsible for
bringing Rihanna; that credit goes to the countless students who have donated their time,
effort, and money into various causes and have truly made a difference. Without those
students there could be no video. “This win is not just a victory for BHS-TV, it is a victory for
all the philanthropic students and organizations at Barrington,” Catherine Geotze said.
