Congratulationsto the BEST!
Welcome to the 2009 Best of Nevada County publication. The Union Newspaper is honored to present this
unique opportunity to recognize the people, businesses and places in our community who make it a wonderful place to live, work and play!
For several days in January, we printed our Best of Nevada County 2009 ballot in the newspaper asking you — our loyal readers — to tell us your favorites. To ensure the integrity of the voting process, ballots were sealed, sent to a contracted company and tabulated off-site. Duplicates, reproductions and other ballots not meeting the strict published criteria were excluded.
This year, just like the past, the response from the community was outstanding; demonstrating how important each of these businesses that are honored throughout the publication are to Nevada County. As our county has flourished, so has community interest and the title of “The Best” has become increasingly competitive. Although we do have some repeat winners, we would like to welcome those who have risen to the top for the first time! Each recipient contributes to the charm of our community.
We would like to thank our readers and advertisers for making this edition possible and for being paramount to its success.
And the winners are ...� | 2009 Best of Nevada County | The Union

Eskaton Village is so proud to be voted “Best Assisted Living Facility in Nevada County” for a sixth year. We take this honor
seriously and are always trying to provide the best services possible for our residents.
Eskaton is dedicated to creating an environment that allows residents to get the most out of life, offering Independent Living apartments, Assisted Living apartments as well as individual patio-home ownership for nine years now. The Village sits on 42 acres covered in tall Ponderosa and Cedar trees, located conveniently right off Ridge Road.
Eskaton (headquartered just outside Sacramento, in Carmichael) has the experience of delivering healthcare and housing for older adults since 1968. As a non-profit, Eskaton answers only to its residents, not to stock-holders. Affordability, innovation, collaboration, education and compassion are Eskaton standards as it endeavors to transform the aging experience.
In the Lodge, the apartments in independent living and assisted living rent on a month-to-month basis. A variety of services are included in the monthly rent: utilities, meals, basic cable TV, housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and the fitness center with work-out room and beautiful, large indoor swimming pool. The exciting new program, Faces of Fitness, premieres in March—residents make their own physical and mental fitness goals, and Eskaton professionals will work closely with them to achieve their potential.
Offering everything from yoga, meditation, twice-daily water aerobics, Zumba (yes we said, Zumba) flexibility and strength training, Spanish classes, creative writing, computer classes, billiards, and the list goes on and on. Residents rave, “There are just too many activities to choose from!”
Join us for concerts, lectures, movie night in our very own theatre, or any of the other fun activities. Visit the Lodge and see first-hand what all the buzz is about!
Eskaton Village would like to say Thank you to all the Village residents and everyone in the community who has recognized Eskaton as the Best in Nevada County again in 2009!

good times await Residents at Quail Ridge Senior Living. Quail Ridge has been providing compassionate, loving care
to seniors in Nevada County for the past 10 years. Residents become family members and the staff treats residents just like their very own parents and grandparents. Thank you for voting us Best Alzheimer’s caregiver.
Quail Ridge offers a variety of care from independent assisted living to memory care. Programs include a plethora of activities like Tai Chi exercise, happy hour with live entertainment, and specialized classes to improve memory. Quail Ridge believes in caring for each resident as a unique and beautiful person.
Our memory care environment offers many options for comfort and creativity like gardening, music therapy, sensory therapy, and art
therapy. Quail Ridge has a packed social calendar filled with fun events all year long like “Heroes for Hospice” (charity event for Hospice of the Foothills), an annual themed Anniversary party, and socials for every holiday.
Above all, the staff at Quail Ridge is exemplary. “I’ve never felt more at home thanks to all the caring staff that go above and beyond to help me everyday,” said one resident. “The Med-Aides make me laugh when I take my pills, and it is easier to get them down,” said another resident. “I would not place my mother’s care in the hands of anyone else,” said one of the resident’s daughters.
Thank you again Nevada County for recognizing the people who make a difference at Quail Ridge, our tremendous staff-this award is dedicated to them!

After growing up working at his father’s independent pharmacy, david dokimos always had his sights on
owning his own pharmacy. In december 2004 that goal was realized when he and his wife Kelly, a grass valley native, opened dokimos East Main Pharmacy located in grass Valley. A little over 5 years later they are the proud recipients of The union newspapers Best Pharmacy for the 3rd year in a row!
dokimos East Main Pharmacy was opened with the goal of always putting the customer first. They strive to provide a fast, easy and professional pharmacy experience without the frustration of long lines and long prescription waits. Their friendly and courteous pharmacy staff is always readily available to assist the customers.
due to the fantastic community support for the pharmacy, Kelly and david were able to open a second location in September 2007. dokimos Nevada City Pharmacy is located next to SPd on Zion Street in Nevada City and is the only Pharmacy located in Nevada City.
In addition to a full service pharmacy both locations offer a fantastic gift selection with many unique items. They also offer competitively priced over the counter items, as well as cards, jewelry, candles and much more. Customers of dokimos pharmacy are able to refill their prescriptions thru the pharmacies web site as well as the 24 hour refill line.
Being locally owned and operated, david and Kelly feel it is important that the pharmacy give back to the community and support local schools, chambers and non profits.
david and Kelly would like to thank their amazing staff for their excellent work that has helped earn the pharmacy this award. david and Kelly, along with their staff would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all their customers and to Nevada County for all for their support!
Both locations are open Monday thru Friday 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, Saturday 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. They accept most insurances and provide local delivery.

Fast, prompt reliable service!Locally Owned
NORTHERN SIERRA PROPANE, INC. has served grass Valley and Nevada County customers since January of 1990 from
their office and shop located at 13120 John Bauer Avenue (near the airport). Edward (Ed) Rogers started delivering propane from a small office using one delivery truck, and has grown his business (four trucks) using the motto “Fast, Prompt & Reliable Service.”
Northern Sierra Propane (NSP) has expanded into Placer and yuba counties, and now serves over three thousand customers using sixteen employees to assure their accounts are well and timely served. NSP measures its success in volume (gallons) sales, and is now delivering in excess of 1,500,000 gallons to their friends in their operating area.
Service is the key to both the growth and success of NSP, and in addition to their base product (propane) they supply and install tanks to contain the product at customer sites. deliveries are scheduled to assure product is available timely, and every effort is maintained to keep the cost of product in line with the current economy. An even payment program is in place, which allows
our accounts to spread their costs over the full year regardless of how often product is delivered.
Propane is supplied for heating, water heating, and other applications using gas. Essentially it is classified as used beyond the limits of natural gas service, and is both clean and temperature controlled.
The office is open Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00am and 5:00pm. However, telephone service is twenty four hours a day to assure timely service. Every employee is dedicated to providing our customers with their propane needs and related service in a prompt and friendly manner.
The rewards received and the success of our business is proof that Northern Sierra Propane is a welcome business in our community. Northern Sierra Propane would like to thank their valued customers for voting them the Best of Nevada County in 2009.

Roxanna
The year was 1960 when two brothers, King and Pete Aguilar opened the doors of A&A Air Conditioning
Heating and Sheet Metal. Their idea was to bring the experience and quality of union sheet metal journeymen from the bay area to their new home in grass Valley. Fifty years and three generations later, A&A is still owned and operated by the Aguilar family. Located at 763 South Auburn Street in grass Valley, A&A offers a wide variety of heating and air conditioning products and services, custom sheet metal fabrication, duct cleaning, factory rebates, tax credits, and HERS (duct) testing. If a problem arises with your heating system, or if you want your system to be maintained by the best of Nevada County (as voted by the union readers for 5 years) A&A has the friendly and helpful staff who is factory trained and certified to ensure you get best possible service available.
The biggest impact to hit the HVAC industry in the last few years has been the federal tax stimulus. Since its conception, A&A has helped many homeowners and businesses maximize their federal tax credits while taking advantage of seasonal factory rebates and incentives from utility companies. These incentives make the cost
of a high efficiency system very economical, especially when coupled with competitive financing options. As a result, homeowners are saving greater amounts of money on utility
bills with the new energy efficient equipment. A&A states that the federal tax credit for energy efficient equipment is scheduled to cease by the end of 2010 so homeowners may want to consider a new system this year.
One of the unique strengths of A&A is that its full computerized sheet metal shop fabricates a variety of affordable custom sheet metal products. From sluice boxes to kitchen hoods, to ornamental copper trim, A&A can fabricate just about any custom sheet metal project.
Extensive residential and commercial HVAC experience has allowed A&A to excel in identifying the heating and air conditioning solutions in homes and in commercial building. It is the only HVAC company in Nevada County with a mechanical engineer on staff. As a result of providing great service and quality installations, A&A is humbled to receive the Best Heating and Air Conditioning Company by the union readers for 5 years and would like to thank everyone for their continued support for the past 50 years.

Thank you, Nevada County!Serving Nevada County for 16 Years
gold Country Kuk Sool Won has once again been voted Best Martial Arts School. The school is owned and operated by
husband and wife team, Tony and Lila Reyna. 2010 marks the 16th anniversary for gold Country Kuk Sool Won. Nevada County’s premiere family arts center attributes its success to serving the community, building lasting relationships, and providing the finest quality martial arts training.
Kuk Sool Won is a traditional Korean martial art. This comprehensive system covers an extensive variety of techniques and martial arts methods, but it is not merely concerned with the physical methods of physical self-defense. Kuk Sool Won includes the study of healing techniques, the development of internal power, and physical conditioning. The three most important aspects of Kuk Sool Won training are etiquette, patience, and practice.
Chief instructor Tony Reyna states, “The popularity of martial arts has grown dramatically in recent years. Parents and families are seeking ways to slow down in today’s fast paced world, and martial arts practice is a wonderful way to achieve a healthier body, mind, and way of life. Martial arts is a great way for kids to get
some exercise. Physical benefits include: increased flexibility and strength, enhanced coordination, motor skill development, aerobic conditioning, and body toning.
In addition to the physical benefits of martial arts, mental powers of concentration, self-discipline, and self-control will significantly improve. Through consistent training and progress, parents often tell us of big improvements in their child’s self-confidence and self-esteem. Memory skills are enhanced through repetition training. Students develop “Jung Shin” a Korean word meaning, “total focus of the mind and spirit on what you are doing in a given moment”. This concept may then be applied to schoolwork, sports, hobbies, career and family.”
Chief Instructor Tony Reyna has studied and taught Kuk Sool Won for 29 years and is currently testing for sixth-degree black belt. Lila Reyna is currently testing for third-degree Black Belt, specializing in women’s self-defense instruction and is award-winning author of “Quiet Mind, Warrior Spirit.”
gold County Kuk Sool Won would like to thank their valued team of martial artists in training for voting them the Best of Nevada County in 2009!

Art’s Cedar Ridge gas and Automotive Service was established in April 1985 and for the last 25 years the co-
owners, Art Harris and Bonnie Bridge, have been dedicated to the community and their customers. There has never been a time when a friend or neighbor was in need of fuel or a repair on their vehicle and Art or Bonnie didn’t come through for them.
Art Harris was born in Tennessee. He is one of 12 children who grew up on a farm where hard work and honesty is an everyday occurrence. After graduating from high school, Art joined the u.S. Navy where he served for two years in Vietnam. Art then came to grass Valley and has been a big part of the community ever since.
Bonnie Bridge was born in Lindsay and moved to the area in 1977, later meeting Art in 1979. They became partners in 1985. Bonnie is also a huge part of our local community and understands the value of customers. She was part owner of
the Holbrooke Hotel for 10 years and has sold real estate for the past 32 years with Paul Law Realty.
Art’s Cedar Ridge gas and Automotive Service has been voted The union’s best, 5 years in a row, which Art and Bonnie would like to thank all their loyal customers for. Their customers have been a big part of all their successes for a long time and with out them Art and Bonnie would not have achieved this award. For this Art and Bonnie are sincerely thankful to their customers.
Art and Bonnie are looking forward to serving this community for years to come.
