holesThe Farmers’ Almanac is predicting a hotter than normal summer. Throughout the Gold Country, temperatures are startingto warm up. Plus, the first day of summer is June 20. Yep, time to go some where to cool off.The foothills are a gold mine when it comes to swimming holes, especially with the increased rain from last season.
Caution is in order, however, anyone who regularly reads the local papers knows that the river takes few lives each year.
Please be safe, as the water can not only change from one season to the next, but from day to day.
Now to find a cool spot. After polling a few locals, here is a list places to take a dip this summer.
While this is not a complete list, it has options to fit families, teens and nature lovers.

AMERICAN
RIVER
CONFLUENCE
NO-HANDS
BRIDGE
Confluence and NoHands Bridge
This is a popular spot where the
Middle Fork of the American River
and the North Fork come together.
And, it’s not far from Auburn. Water
levels here are more consistent since
it’s controlled upstream by Lake
Clementine.
Getting there: From I-80, take High-
way 49 South toward Cool. Go 2.8miles and find a place to park near
the bridge. There will be trails from
the parking areas to the river.
Local tips: There can be many people
here during the hot days of summer,
but there is a lot of beach area to
accommodate them. Oh my darling Clementine: Upper Lake Clementineis an idea swimming area for families.
——
Confluence influence: The Confluence is a popularspot to take a dip and it’s close to Auburn.
Clarks Hole
Formerly Auburn’s municipal swimming pool. In the
1900s there were concession stands and lifeguards. Today,
it is still a popular spot for picnics and swim parties,
however, there are no lifeguards. The pool, surrounded by
rugged cliffs is just above the Middle Fork of the Ameri-
can River joins the North fork.
Getting there: Park at the confluence and walk around
the green gate to the steep fire road. After hiking less than
a quarter of a mile, pass Stagecoach Trail and go 40 steps,look for an unmarked, but well-used narrow trail on the
right. If you’re with children, hang onto them as there are
steep drop-offs. As the trail desends, it will go under Fores-
thill Bridge and pass a small waterfall. The trail ends after
a climb down some large boulders that surround the pool.
Local tips: This can be crowded in the afternoon, arrive
early if you like swimming with less people.
Upper Lake Clementine
Most kid-friendly swimming hole on the American River,
water is slow moving. There is a ranger station in the area
that enforces the no alcohol or dogs rules. There are small
beach areas to set up camp.
Getting there: From I-80 take Foresthill Road, go about
six miles and turn left on Upper Clementine Lake Road.
Take this is a dirt road 1.5 miles.
It will end at the lake.
Local tips: This is safe spot for familiesand the dirt road to this
swimming hole keeps the
popularity down.

WATER SAFETYTIPS
Before you go, keep these recom-
mendations in mind:
It is best to swim in designated are
supervised by lifeguards.
Always swim with a buddy; do noallow anyone to swim alone. Even
a public pool or a lifeguarded beac
use the buddy system.
Ensure that everyone in the family
learns to swim well. Enroll in age-
propriate swimming and water
courses.
Never leave a young child unat-
tended near water and do not trus
a child’s life to another child. Teac
children to always ask permission go near water.
Have young children or inexperi-
enced swimmers wear U.S. Coast
Guard-approved life jackets aroun
water, but do not rely on life jacke
alone.
Establish rules for your family and
enforce them without fail. For exa
ple, set limits based on each perso
ability, do not let anyone play aroudrains and suction fittings, and do
not allow swimmers to hypervent
late before swimming under wate
have breath-holding contests.
Even if you do not plan on swim-
ming, be cautious around natural
bodies of water including ocean
shoreline, rivers and lakes. Cold te
peratures, currents and underwate
hazards can make a fall into these
bodies of water dangerous.
If you go boating, wear a life jacke
Most boating fatalities occur from
drowning.
Avoid alcohol use. Alcohol impairs
judgment, balance and coordinati
affects swimming and diving skills
and reduces the body’s ability to s
warm.

Rollins LakeThis lake is at an elevation of 2,100 feet near Colfax. The lake has asurface area of 900 acres, with 26 miles of shoreline. This
is a great lake for boating and water-skiing with many coves and longstretches of open water. Fishing can be done from a boat or the shore for
a wide variety of trout and warm water species. There are four camp-grounds for day or overnight use.
Cost is $8 per vehicle (up to four persons). Walk-ins are $1.50. After 4p.m. Monday-Thursday, prices are reduced to $4 day use.
Local tips: For families the Long Ravine does not permit alcohol on thebeach, plus Beach Hut Deli has slide. The Peninsula Family Camping
beach area does not permit dogs, but there are two separate designatedpet swim areas.
Emigrant Gap /North Fork, North Fork campgroundFor the more adventuresome, this is a 45-minute drive fromAuburn, plus a 20-minute difficult hike to the swimming hole.But it is beautiful. There’s a 20-foot waterfall that drops into a30-foot hole and a 15-foot waterfall drops that into a 25-foothole.
Getting there: From I-80, take Laino Road exit, turn ontoTexas Hill road. Take this all the way down to North ForkCampground. The entrance to the trail for the waterfalls is atthe back of the campground. Ask any camper where it is.
Local tips: Kids not recommended. Wear good shoes as thetrail is rough and even the most experienced hikers slip. Anddon’t wear sunglasses in the pools, waterfalls can easily claimthem.
Look Mom no
hands: Many localsenjoy the water
under No HandsBridge.

Sometimes an odd combination can have the sweetest results. For
brewery and taphouse, Cool Beerwerks, their expansion of Kuru Su-
shi and Poke Bar became a peculiar combination that satisfies flavor.
Kuru, which mean cool in Japanese, was introduced as a restaurant
in November 2015.
“We are a fusion of Japanese and Hawaiian food,” said owner Ro-
chelle Robello.
It was unclear to customers that Cool Beerwerks had a menu, so
they decided to give their restaurant a name.
Not everyone would think to pair beer with a Japanese or Hawaiian
cuisine. However, Cool Beerwerks Asian spin on classic pub eats hasbeen bringing in curious customers and contented regulars.
According to their website “Cool Beerwerks is a micro-brewery spe-
cializing in authentic handcrafted ales and beer for the discerning
beer connoisseur.” However, they have expanded their uniqueness by
including items on the menu such as a “Highway 49” sushi roll and
deep fried cheesecake. The most unique menu offering has to be the

pairing with a hand-crafted brew is one your taste
buds will remember.
“I personally have not heard of any other brewery
that serves sushi,” said Robello.
It sets them apart from any other brewery in the
area.
A new style of food that has recently been intro-
duced into the restaurant business is the Poke Bowls
“It’s a very new concept to the restaurant industry,”
Robello commented.
The fresh fish is laid on top of a bed of rice and
lightly dressed, resulting in a mouthful of tropical
fun. The best part is that each bowl can be cus-
tomized based on preference. The fish options are
interchangeable as well as the dressings.
The beer selection pairs really well with the seafood
delicacies. The blonde ale, named “The Golden Drag-
on,” is an example of a perfect pairing.
“It’s nice and light,” said Robello.
It was important to Cool Beerwerks to incorpo-
rate more of a family atmosphere. They are not
just a bar. There is much to be experienced at Cool
Beerwerks and Kuru Sushi and as they get ready to
celebrate three years being open, be sure to stop by
to have a taste of the numerous and delicious items
on the menu. ◆

PLACER NEVADAJUNIOR GOLF TOUR
PGA Golf Pros, Phil Green and Jason Harringtonat Placer Nevada Junior Golf Tour, have the will-fulness to spread the love of golf to kids through afun instructional program. PNJGT’s primary focus
is developing golf skills from the very beginner to theadvanced golfer. They develop the individual child tobecome a golfer, but not on the competitive side. Thekids traveled the course on a Sunday without a scorecard in hand. And to give the more novice playersa chance, a best ball is played so the kids can movethrough the holes with their group.
There are several competitive junior golf programsthat the Director Green wanted kids to fall in lovewith the game instead of the competitive aspect. Golfcan be a stressful game and that’s why PNJGT setstheir intentions on just having fun. It’s a great atmo-sphere for the kids to be involved in because golfers
meet new friends while picking up new skills. Anaverage of 20 to 25 golfers participate on Sundays fornine holes of golf at either of the three courses, Au-burn Valley Golf Course, Black Oak Golf Course, andDarkhorse Golf Club. Each hole is modified wheregreens are set up 100 yards to the pin, making it lessdaunting than the hole standard 300 yards.
Players are given instruction at Home On The Greenrange and golf course instruction. Each seasonal ses-sion costs about $150. There are opportunities to playall year long with the four different PNJGT seasons,which has attracted youth golfers to take part in theprogram from Truckee in the winter months.

The most special dogs (or cats) are the ones that
we develop a special rapport with.
RAPPORT: (noun) A close and harmonious
relationship in which the people or groups con-
cerned understand each other’s feelings or ideas
and communicate well.
We develop a wonderful relationship with our
pets when we find a way to communicate with
our hearts. You’ve seen it. Your dog simply
looks in your eyes, and stares at you, patiently
waiting for you to look back. Sometimes, your
dog wants a treat. Other times, your dog sees
you crying and puts his head in your lap to offerconsolation. In each circumstance, there is an
exchange of intelligence.
We don’t always understand just how intelli-
gent our pets are. Many folks talk “baby talk”
to their pets, and are satisfied with the simple
companionship of master and child. Others, talk
to them as if they are equals. In most cases, the
animals respond with equal, or even superior,
intelligence.
As you build respect and trust, animals reveal
many things, including emotions that you didn’t
know were possible. One of my clients lost a
beautiful dog, named Crocker due to cancer this
last year. I came to the house to sit with the
other dog, Scooter, about a week after Crocker’s
death. It was the first time that I had come to
this home when there was just one dog, rather
than two. When I walked into the room, Scooter
sadly walked up to me. I knelt down. He put his
head on my shoulders, and cried for the longest

time. Knowing the dog, I knew he was trying to tell me about everything that had
happened. I cried with him.
Often, there are gaps between what one or the other are trying to convey and
understand. Some dogs learn tricks easily, while others seem to be impossible to
train. I’ve learned that each dog has their own frequency of understanding.
As a professional dog sitter, I visit with many different types of dogs and cats. To
be successful, I’ve had to be confident in my manner with these animals, as well
as be respectful of their territory. I also have to be clear that I am no “push-over”.
After a visit with my clients’ pets (which is usually for a week at a time), my client
ask me, “What did you do to my dog? They behave, now!” My answer is simple:
“I’m a drill sergeant.” Dogs are creatures of habit, and respond well to consistent
rules of conduct. I don’t allow dogs to jump on me, and I don’t allow random
barking. If the doorbell rings, and the dog barks, I respond with a simple ,“thank
you,” check the door, and acknowledge the dog for trying to warn me of a poten-
tial intruder (i.e. mailman, salesman, axe murderer, etc.). And that’s the end of it.
When I take the dogs for walks, I insist that they “heel.” At every crosswalk, I have
them sit and wait for the command to allow them to cross the street with me.
You don’t have to be mean, to be strict. I talk with dogs, as I would with anyone
else. There is a certain honesty in talking with dogs intelligently. I don’t talk down
to them. There is a playfulness in our conversations. I ask them if they would
like to go out and look at the squirrels, or if they enjoyed the meal I prepared for
them. There is also the physical interaction. I play fetch, I rub their bellies.
Training a dog is not magic. It is simply a matter of supporting consistent behavio
that puts an animal in comfortable, secure place. With proper training, and posi-
tive encouragement, pets develop good behavior, as well as quality social skills. ◆

THE SWEETEST LOLLIPOP TRAILWRITTEN BY MARY WEST ▼ PHOTOS BY MARY WEST

35/60 JUNE 2016
Looking to enjoy some wide openspaces away from the crowds? Let me share with you the sweetest lollipop trail my friend Jason introduced me to on a recent 5K
fun run he organized. It is worth the short 7 mile drive past the crowded North and Middle Forks of
the American River Confluence area in Auburn to the rolling hills of Cool, Calif.
I have been hesitant to share much about the trails in this area because many are unmarked and
I have gotten myself lost wandering around chasing butterflies and daisies. Recently several new
signs have popped up in the area thanks to an Auburn State Recreation Area Volunteer group
known as the Canyon Keepers. Several volunteers placed signs to help sort out the maze that is
known to many simply as Olmsted or Knickerbocker.
Park in the vehicle lot next to the Cool Fire station off Highway 49. This is a fee area. From the
parking area you can see the grass covered hills bending in the breeze beneath majestic oaks that
dot the wide open landscape.

CANYON KEEPERS
Canyon Keepers meet the
first Tuesday of the month at
the Canyon View CommunityCenter at 471 Maidu Drive in
Auburn at 6 p.m. Learn more
at CanyonKeepers.org
Across the street from the fire station is
the Pointed Rocks trail head. The wide
flat trail parallels Highway 49 for ¼ mile
before turning west into a small cluster
of oaks that canopy the trail a short
distance as you make your way to the
first signed intersection of Ranch Road
Trail and Olmstead Loop. Stay straight on
Ranch Road. Soon you pass a small pond
and a variety of wildflowers around old
foundations from abandoned home-
steads.
Every few yards the vista changes and
may make you believe the sky is simply
bigger out here. Stay on the trail as it bends to the south. Take a seat under a tree
on a random rock and take in the green grasses, butterflies, wildflowers, and the
peace and quiet.
If you have time, wander along the path, but if 3 or so miles is enough for you,
look for a fork in the road on your left headed uphill to the east. The hotter it gets
the more snakes you may find sunning themselves on the hot dirt of the path; be
aware. At the top of the hill you will find the loveliest pond with a grinding rock
begging you take a seat and enjoy the song of the red-wing blackbirds that call
this area home. Follow the pond to the north that brings you back to the signed
intersection of Ranch Road Trail and Olmstead Loop. Turn right to return to the
parking area.
Take plenty of water. Much of this trail is exposed to the sun so a hat and sunscreen
will make the hike more comfortable. This short hike is only one of a dozen trails in
the area. These are multi-use trails so if you do wander there is usually a friendly
equestrian, runner or mountain biker to get you pointed in the right direction. ◆

And they love a quality dessert.
“Friends and neighbors kept telling us that ice cream was
the one business Auburn was lacking,” Bernadette said.
“Frozen yogurt isn’t the same.”
It took about nine months for the couple to renovate the
Lincoln Way space from a pet supply store and office into
bright and cheerful ice cream and candy shop.
The shops are named after the Allens’ three young grand-
children, whom may one day take over the business.
“Wouldn’t it be wonderful?” Bernadette said.
The ice cream side of the store is painted a sunny yellow
with arches and a large mountain mural. The blue in the
water matches the blue in the checkered tablecloths.
On the other side of the wall is a long, narrow candy
shop filled with glass cases full of chocolates both dark
and milk. Above the candy hangs a crystal chandelier the
Allens hand carried from France 10 years ago. It’s beenin a box in the attic all this time, waiting for the perfect
home, Bernadette said.
“We modeled the candy shop after the candy stores in
Belgium,” she said. “They’re like jewelry stores … the win-
dow displays are a work of art. You can’t pass by without
going in.”
The duo also put a lot of research into what kind of de-
liciousness they would offer their customers. They spent
a long time talking to an experienced ice cream maker in
Florida, and on his advice decided to have their own icecream recipes concocted for them at a factory in Sacra-
mento. They also offer fruit ice, a treat that’s popular in
Florida but has yet to catch on in California.
“It’s like Hawaiian shave ice … made with real fruit,” Ber-
nadette said. “There’s nothing artificial.”
The ice cream shop also offers dessert crepes and parfait
as well as a rotating variety of cupcakes, cookies and
brownies made by Auburn staple, Cathy Bianchi of Gim-
mie Cake Too.
“We’re always open to suggestions from customers,”
Bernadette said.
For example, one day recently a customer ordered a root
beer milkshake and then offered the staff a taste of the
results.
“Now it’s on the menu,” Bernadette said.
The fudge comes from a candy maker on the East coast,
and the chocolate comes from a different candy maker in

Minnesota. Some items, like hand-dipped strawberries, are
made in the store.
The shop has been slowly gaining a base of loyal custom-
ers, the owner said, and she imagines it will grow as the
weather warms. Because the Allens are situated between
two popular Auburn eateries — Awful Annie’s and Joe
Caribe’s — word is spreading.
“People come in with their to-go boxes, and say, ‘I’m so full,
but I’ll be back,” Bernadette said. “And they do come back.”
Debra Montgomery was one of those customers. She
noticed Samantha’s after having lunch at Awful Annie’s
and returned a few days later with her grandchildren, Kateand Jacob Bruggert, whom she picks up from school once
a week.
“They asked if we could come, and here we are,” Montgom-
ery said. “It’s so darling; I hope it’s successful.”
The Allens hope it’s successful, too, and if Auburnites fol-
low Bernadette’s philosophy for a happy life, it will be.
“I lost my sister to cancer,” she said. “I asked the doctor,
‘What can I do (for prevention)?’ He said, ‘Eat ice cream
and be happy.’ Those words remain with me.” ◆

Occasionally I get a craving for a dessert so decadent that only something with chocolate, chocolate,
and more chocolate will satisfy.
Cupcakes are an easy treat to satisfy any craving and I absolutely love making them. They are less
hassle than baking an entire cake, you get a perfect ratio of frosting to cake, and as an additional
bonus you feel a lot less guilty eating three cupcakes than eating three whole pieces of cake. Plus
they are a simple and just plain cute dessert. Any dessert you can eat with your hands is a bonus in
my book. I decided to make Chocolate Bailey’s Irish Cream Cupcake and they were divine. The extra
sweet liquor frosting was perfectly paired with the bittersweet chocolate cake. It was a very rich
dessert and one was definitely enough. I made them special for my mother-in-law’s birthday and
they were a hit with the entire family.

These lighter-than-air cookies are a mouthwatering treat to have as a dessert or pair with tea and coffee. They may take over three hours to
make, but believe me it is worth it. Luckily most of the time the meringue is sitting in an oven or in a mixer. The difficult work is almost done
for you. Just mix and place in the oven. The hardest part is waiting to satisfy your sweet tooth.◆

Eating healthfully can be sometimes be
a great challenge. As the days get longer,
we tend to get busier and for myself
personally, I know that making lunches
ahead of time can be difficult, especially
on days where I am pressed for time.
These Mason jar salads are an easy grab
from the fridge. The best part is that
once they are sealed and stored, they last
up to five days! The trick is to put the
dressing on the bottom followed by any
toppings you desire and lettuce last. This
keeps the lettuce from getting soggy.
Whatever combination or salad concoc-
tion you chose is up to you. There is no
wrong way to make a salad. Add morenuts if you like a crunchy texture or
seasonal fruit to make it sweet. Fill your
jar to the top and make ahead of time to
have a healthy lunch or snack that you
can “grab on the go.”
4 egg whites
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

SHOP LOCAL
PlacerGROWN farmers markets are in full boom with an abundance of
seasonal fruits, vegetables, breads, and much more. PlacerGROWN has
six outdoor markets, including the new location at High Hand Nursery, tochoose from within Placer County. Shopping for fresh locally produced
items can be done nearly every day of the week.
Carol Arnold, CEO of PlacerGROWN, has seen an uptick with people choos-
ing to shop farmers’ markets for their weekly groceries. Produce grown
from local farmers are rich in flavor, bursting with color, and nourish the
body with fresh nutrients. Going to the source for food enables the con-
sumer to know what’s in the foods as opposed to purchasing growers out
of the area. The farmers are generally the sellers at the farmers’ markets
and are typically very knowledgeable in their products.
Arnold has said that PlacerGROWN has had the crop-to-table outlook
since the beginning of Placer County’s strong agricultural farming indus-
try. She added that “it’s a way of life, it’s how you live” when referring to
the abundant availability of eating either from your own garden, shopping
at a fruit stand, or at the farmers’ markets.
Arnold said there has seen a slight change with this year’s summer
vegetables as some have hit the stands a bit early. Cucumbers and stone
fruits popped up at Roseville Farmer’s Market in May. This year will be an
exceptional year for stone fruits like apricots and peaches that will rotate
varieties as they ripe over the summer.

Talk about multiple personalities! Justin Rupple flies through
impersonations faster than you can say James Earl Jones.
He is a talented comedian. A talent for which he was well-re-
warded during a recent appearance on Dana Carvey’s “First
Impressions” television show. Rupple snagged the winning
number of votes and earned $10,000.
Winning anything is a real coup for a comedian. It’s not like
acting or singing, where trophies are awarded multiple times each year. “It’s rare
because comedy is so subjective,” said Rupple. “When you crown a comedian, or give
them a prize, it means a lot.”
And about Dana Carvey? “He was great,” Rupple said. “He just wants to make other
people shine. He continues to do that for comics every day and I’m eternally grateful
for it.”
Rupple is also an actor. He recently finished filming “Operation Chromite” with Liam
Neeson, who he also impersonates, although not during filming.
“I don’t know how a comedian lands that job, but I’ll take it,” Rupple said.
Neeson did come up with new impersonations for Rupple to do. “Anybody but him,”
Rupple said. “The rule was that I wasn’t allowed to impersonate him because if I did
an Irish accent it would affect his American accent in the film.”
Rupple plays “Alexander Haig,” the fifth lead in “Operation Chromite.”
He has also been on “Scorpion” and “Comics to Watch” on CBS, “Partners” on FX, Fox
and Lifetime. He also hosted the “2015 Divas Day Out” in Reno.
Bring on the comedy
Rupple got his start doing impressions on college radio. He would impersonate teach-
ers and administrators. “I got in trouble for it,” he said.
He studied broadcast journalism and sociology. “If you’re keeping track at home, that’s
a degree in how to tell jokes to people,” he laughed.
Rupple’s favorite impersonations are all the Seth MacFarlane voices. He cites “Family
Guy and “American Dad,” and actor Vince Vaughn, among others. “And now I’m doing
a Ryan Reynolds impression that’s a lot of fun,” he said. “I like staying on top of what-
ever new voices are captivating America today.”
Rupple performs over 80 impersonations, along with 15 original characters.

radiate. It feels like you’re on a rollercoaster
with all of your friends and at the end it’s
just as exhilarating.”
And each standup performance is unique.
“Because it will never happen like that

Being a new dad
only adds to the
mounds of material
of this noteworthy
comedian, host,
voiceover artist and radio personality.
Jamie Kaler is also a former U.S. Navy lieutenant.
Now, that’s something you won’t hear many
comedians say.
He is best known for his starring role as Mike on
the TBS show “My Boys” and as host of “America:
Facts vs. Fiction” on the American Heroes Channel.
Kaler has also appeared on “Friends,” “Will and
Grace,” “How I Met Your Mother,” “Parenthood,”
and “King of Queens,” as well as feature films and
commercials. He is the spokesman for the current
Ford Motor Company commercial campaign.
Kaler had his own radio show called “Kaler” on
SiriusXM, and is a contributing lifestyle writer for
Disney’s Babble.com.
His standup act sometimes follows a theme along
the line of why we push to keep up with social
media. “Why are we trying so hard to get all this
done,” he said. “It won’t be remembered in three
generations anyway.”
His jokes “appeal to people who are family people,”
he said. “Who have one night out a month, have a
babysitter … . Those are the people who I reward.”
Kaler knows a lot about these families. He and his
wife have two little ones. He joked that he’s taking
more standup gigs solely to get away from the
kids.
But as many comedians who have honed their
comic skills, Kaler appeals to many. And he’s an
interactive comedian.
“I kind of go where the audience goes,” he said. “I
make sure everyone has a good night.”
By that, Kaler said every show is a little different,
but with the same premise: “How to be happy in
life.”

“Part of the specialty of the farmers’ markets
is when you have small farms, varieties come
and go, which add to the joy of shopping,”Arnold said.
If people have access or chose to buy freshly
picked produce, they would have a whole
different relationship to vegetables.
This season the market seems to be providing
summer varieties early. The Natural Trading
Company was the first of the local farmers to
offer first cherry tomatoes in May.
The Newcastle based farm sells their local-
ly grown goods to three farmers markets
weekly. Tess Sullivan of Natural Trading
Company said they have been growing and
selling produce for the past 21 years. They’ve
added eggs to the markets which produced by
pasture raised hens.
Sullivan said that Natural Trading Company is
a one-stop shop for many of their customers
because of the varieties of produce they offer
as well as their fresh eggs.
Eating locally produced becomes a way of lifewith options like the farmers markets. Small
farms like Natural Trading Company go to
great lengths in supplying nutritious produce
with using sustainable techniques, picking
produce just hours before delivering to the
market.
“We take tending our soil very seriously.
It’s not just about purchasing organically
produced food, we nurture our soils, so that it
last for generations to come,” Sullivan said. ◆

WRITTEN BY NEW CAR TEST DRIVE ▼ PHOTOS ARE SPECIAL TO FOOTHILL MAGAZINE
The Chevrolet SS is a full-size four-door sports sedan with one
engine, a huge 6.2-liter V8. There’s really only one competitor to
the SS, and it’s a worthy one, a Dodge Challenger with a 392 cu-
bic-inch Hemi. There is also the 707-horsepower supercharged
Challenger Hellcat, but that’s in a tire-smoking world of its own.
The SS is Chevrolet’s first rear-wheel-drive sedan since the 1996
Impala, which lives today as a front-wheel-drive car. But it’s not
the Impala that the SS has evolved from, it’s the 2008 Pontiac
G8 that was developed Down Under. GM sent engineers from
Detroit there to work on that car.
In Australia, GM calls itself Holden. There, the throaty Com-
modore SS is seen as the last muscle car, prestigious and high
profile on those long flat highways. Despite the lack of corners,
and the low speed limits enforced around the cities by Big
Brother cameras, the Australian-built cars have always handled
better than the American-built ones (just as the Australian V8
Supercar Series blows NASCAR off the track when it comes to
road course execution and excitement). The SS benefits fromits Australian experience, mainly in the excellent balance from
52/48 weight distribution, and carefully developed multi-link
rear suspension.
Another thing about the SS: it’s a cop car. It’s refined, and it has
style, but a strip search will uncover a Chevrolet Caprice PPV
(Police Patrol Vehicle). The Blues Brothers never had it so good.
With only the big V8 engine, the SS isn’t intended to be a big
seller. Chevrolet appears to build it just because it can, and to
keep its tradition alive. Also to keep enthusiasts happy (as if
they couldn’t be happy with the stunning Corvette and dazzling
Camaro SS). And perhaps to make the folks at Chevrolet happy
to see it here.
That V8 is a 415-horsepower version of the previous-generatio
Corvette LS3 engine (70 horsepower less than the Hemi engine
in the Dodge Challenger). It comes with a solid 6-speed manua
transmission (truly old school in a full-size sedan), or a 6-speed
automatic that unfortunately isn’t up to the task. It accelerates
from zero to sixty in 4.7 seconds, and sounds nice doing so, a
burble at zero and bark at sixty. Beefy Brembo brakes, Magnetic
Ride Control dampers, and 19-inch forged aluminum wheels
with Z-rated tires are standard. Cops need that stuff.
The SS hasn’t been crash tested, because it is low volume. It get
an EPA-rated 17 miles per gallon Combined city and highway
driving, with either the manual or automatic transmission;
that’s 15/21 mpg City/Highway with manual, 14/21 mpg City/
Highway with automatic. However, the manual avoids the
$1,300 gas guzzler tax, don’t ask us why.
Driving ImpressionsWe wouldn’t enter the Chevy SS in an Australian V8 Supercar
race, but the Aussie and visiting Detroit engineers did a true-
blue fair dinkum job in building a chassis that’s a cut above
the standard. It’s not easy to get cornering balance out of a
rear-wheel-drive car with a big heavy engine in front (although
Cadillac engineers did it, without Australian help, in the CTS-V)
Final Word
If you want a 21st century muscle car, and you’re not a MoPar
man, the Chevy SS is all there is. That’s not bad. But go for the
manual transmission, and work with it. Stay true to the dream.◆

MEADOW VISTA
SPECIAL TO FOOTHILL MAGAZINE
For a town or village to have a sense of com-
munity, it must have occasions to meet and
places to congregate. Meadow Vista has had
its schools, churches, parks and businesses
where people have gathered to socialize,
worship, learn and conduct business. The
beautiful parks and schools have provided
meeting places for outdoor activities, but
for decades our citizens have felt a need for
a central meeting place with a recreation
building where both old and young could
meet. Since the 1960s, various organizations
in Meadow Vista have raised funds for the
construction of a community center.
• 1943 - Meadow Vista Friendly Neighbors
Club is formed and a need for a meeting
place was recognized
• 1947 - Auburn Area Recreation and Park
District (ARD) was formed
• 1950s - Meadow Vista swimming pool is
built
• 1960s - Meadow Vista Garden Club began
raising funds for a clubhouse
• 1970s - Various community organizations
held fundraisers and raised enough mon-
ey to purchase 2.1 acres adjacent to the
pool park. The Meadow Vista Community
Center (MVCC) Corporation was formed in
1972. When it was later determined that
the site wouldn’t support a proper septic
system, the land was sold and the proceeds
were invested. Celia Lyman Broadwell and
Joe Chevreaux joined the ARD board and
advocated the purchase of a 23-acre park in
Meadow Vista.
• 1980s - The Meadow Vista Park was devel-
oped with beautiful picnic areas, ball fields, a
lovely pond, tennis courts, restrooms and a
playground.
• 1990s - A Park and Recreation Master Plan
was developed in 1993, including a planned
$250,000 for the construction of a com-
munity center in Meadow Vista. This would
have been partially funded by the Landscap-
ing and Lighting District (LLD) proceeds. In
1995, the ARD Board voted to eliminate theLLD, therefore efforts to raise funds were
renewed. In 1996, ARD Board members
officially designated the hillside adjacent
to Meadow Vista Road as the building site
for the community center. The MVCC board
begins twice monthly meetings with Michael
Phillips as chairman, Celia Broadwell as vice
president, Bruce Broadwell as corresponding
secretary and Gil Jaramillo as treasurer. Other
board members were Marge Riboni, Brenda
Starbird and Erv Morgenthal. Architect KevinKellogg led negotiations with ARD for the
long-term lease of a building site at the
Meadow Vista Park. In 1998, attorney Curtis
Spoul negotiates a formal legal agreement
with ARD which made ARD and MVCC quasi
partners in the operation of the community
center. In 2008 ARD and MVCC, with the as-
sistance of attorney Alex Constintino entered
into a land lease agreement which changed
the quasi type partnership into a land lease
to MVCC for $1 per year for 50 years, MVCC
has prepaid the lease for the full 50 years.
The MVCC board decided that the communi-
ty center should not go into debt and would
be built as donations were received, this is
the reason it took so long for MVCC to be
able to open at least this one room today.
Several fundraising projects were initiated,
including the ongoing sale of engraved brick
pavers and park benches. Several annual
fundraising events were instituted to benefit
the Community Center fund, including Okto-
berfest, the Kid’s Fishing Derby, a Classic Car
Show, and a runn
