THIS YEARS FAIR
Sandy Schmidt
From victim to survivor to volunteer, Sandy Schmidt has given over 30,000 hours to
save lives. She believes that every person deserves to live, and to live free from fear. That
belief has driven Sandy, a former victim of domestic violence, to start Women of Worth. Its
a little-known secret that Sandy has volunteered completely, giving more than 3,000 hours
per year for the past 10 years to ensure that women and children have a place to go.
Women of Worth was birthed from Sandys own personal experiences with abuse and
the obstacles she faced when trying to start a new life as a single mother with three young
children. She founded Women of Worth over 10 years ago, operating without government
funding and without receiving a single dime in charity. In 2010, Sandy opened a home for
women and children feeing in fear; a place where they can go to be safe. Sandy knows
personally that when women leave a violent relationship, the risk of fatal injury increases.
She was compelled to open Hettys Haven, a supportive safe-haven home where 12 to 15
women and children can live. Hettys Haven honors Hetty Williams who was shot to death
with a high-powered nail gun by her husband of more than 20 years in Sandys community.
Hettys Haven enables women to build strength, confdence and trust along their journey to
a safe new life.
Sandys passion is to provide a safe way out for victims of domestic violence, sexual
assault and human traffcking. Beyond shelter, Women of Worth offers practical assistance
and support services, including counseling, advocacy, support groups, life skills and
mentoring, assistance with re-entry into the workforce and/or schooling, transitional
housing, and furniture and personal items.
Sandy has rallied the incredible support of her community. The result is that families can
live in safety, renewed hopefulness, and growing productivity free from fear, the threat of
violence and abuse, which creates a healthier community for all.

toni thompSon
Toni Thompson of the Nevada County Food Bank should be citizen of the decade. Toni
puts in so much personal time and care to the Food Bank its almost immeasurable. This
past year they fed more people than ever with fewer funds. Its Tonis forward-thinking that
enables this to work. This past year, the Food Bank acquired a new building that cut down
overhead by a third in these diffcult times. That is huge! She also started a garden to supply
fresh vegetables to the needy. Of course there are a lot of local people who helped Toni get
these things done, but she was the spearhead of it all. Im not the best writer, but I felt you
should know that 200 words is not enough to describe all she does for our community and
her motto is, no one shall go hungry as long as Im here.

Citizens of
the Year
We are proud to honor two
outstanding citizens of nevada
County. both individuals are
leaders in nonprofts in the
area.
When facing diffcult times,
many people would not have
somewhere to turn without the
help of volunteers and nonprof-
its in our community. both in-
dividuals work countless hours
to ensure people are provided
vital services, all while having a
smile on their face.
These highlighted individuals
inspire us all to lend a hand
to those in need so we can all
maintain and improve our great
community. We thank you both
for all of your hard work.
heres what those who nomi-
nated you had to say:
WelCome
to the 2011 Best of Nevada County Publication. The Union is
excited to present this annual honor to businesses, people and
places within Nevada County. The hard work of these individu-
als and organizations help create a great place to live, work and
play.
During the month of January, we asked you our loyal readers
to tell us who your favorites are in the community. To ensure
the integrity of the voting process, ballots were sealed and
mailed to a contracted company Marketing Solutions Group.
MSG is located in Edmond, Okla. and specializes in third-party
database tabulation. Each ballot was entered by MSG and they
then sent us the results.
This year, we had more votes than ever! Over 1,100 ballots
were submitted and ballots not meeting the published criteria
were excluded from consideration. With this large number of
votes, it is truly an honor to be titled the Best of Nevada County.
We would like to thank our readers, winners, runner-ups and
advertisers for making this publication possible. This is the most
successful edition and it would not be possible without your
continued support.
You voted and now its time to see who won!

ping atmosphere.

the current expansion of our seasonal areas: Lawn and Garden,

will enhance your shopping pleasure as well as provide you
with more opportunities to improve your home. We strive to be

to work. We take great pride in being able to serve, to give back,
and to grow with our community. Thank you Nevada County

SECOND YEAR IN A ROW!
SECOND YEAR IN A ROW!
First and foremost, I would like to thank all our loyal patrons
who have supported us over the years. Voting us Best Overall
restaurant and Best Fine Dining restaurant resonates through-
out the entire staff. The cooks love putting out the best food they
can; the wait staff and bartenders love to serve and make your
meal a memorable one; and our steward staff takes pride know-
ing you enjoy the ambiance in a clean setting.
Maria and I always want you to be happy with your experi-
ence whether it be an anniversary, birthday, special occasion
or just a meal. Our Business is truly an extension of our family.
Weve never considered the restaurant as work. It is just what
we love to do, its our lives. We are grateful that you hold Kanes
in such high esteem knowing that we are lucky to live in a com-
munity which has such great dining choices. We are humbled.
We will always continue to put out the best product we can and
offer new and exciting food, great entertainment, value meals,
and partnership with our local businesses to make Kanes your
familys frst choice.
We are so lucky to live in a community that gives us four glo-
rious seasons. A community that supports each other and who is
always there if needed. A small town with such depth, resources
and resolve that I am always awed by the talent and small-town
goodness we enjoy. A destination for many that are not as lucky
as us. I am a fourth generation San Franciscan and that is where
my heart will always be, but there is no place that I would rather
live but here in Nevada County.
Again, we are grateful, appreciative, blessed and certainly
humbled for being voted again Best Overall restaurant and Best
Fine Dining in Nevada County.
With sincere respect,
John, Maria and the entire staff at Kanes

World Class Wine, with a Local Flavor
This year Nevada City Winery is celebrating 32 years of produc-
ing award-winning wines in Nevada County. Were proud of that
accomplishment and were proud of the many outstanding wines,
and the many thousands of happy memories we have produced
over those years.
We have a strong, knowledgeable team of wine professionals
led by Winemaker Mark Foster who came to the winery in 1992.
He immediately recognized the potential for grape growing in
Nevada County and demonstrated the level of quality that could be
achieved through the partnership of nurturing grape growing and
superior winemaking.
Making a great wine once is wonderful. Making great two years
in a row gets you attention. Making great for 20 consecutive years
demonstrates a level of dedication and a commitment to quality
that you know you can trust every time you crack a bottle produced
by Nevada City Winery.
Winemaking recognition demands the ultimate proof be in the
bottle, and Nevada City Winery has blazed an impressive path,
winning Gold Medals, Best Of Class and Best Of region awards at
competitions throughout California. Over the years, Nevada City
Winery has earned Best Of Sierra Foothills awards at the California
State Fair multiple times for Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Zinfandel, and
Cabernet Sauvignon. recently, the Winery won honors for Best
Syrah at a major competition, as well as top honors for Best Caber-
net Franc and Best Barbara in California, at the California State Fair.
Producing great wine doesnt mean we have to be stuffy. Our
tasting room is open daily, offering a comfortable mix of wine-relat-
ed retail and gift products, wine tasting, and wines by the glass that
you can enjoy on our deck in a relaxed and casual environment.
Thank you for supporting us. Nevada City Winery is proud to be
recognized as the best winery in Nevada County.

Best Thrift Store six years in a row!
Hospice of the Foothills Gift and Thrift wishes to thank the
community for voting us as the Best Thrift Store in Nevada
County six years in a row.
Our frst Hospice of the Foothills Gift and Thrift store opened
20 years ago, made possible then and now by our loyal custom-
ers, valuable employees and volunteers. Our dedicated team
of employees and volunteers, many of which are longtime local
residents, put forth a great deal of effort to help you fnd what
you need at bargain basement prices. Last year, 169 volunteers
donated a total of 20,557 hours and this is what makes our fun
shopping experience possible.
recently, Gift and Thrift employees Shelly and Chrissy, work-
ing in the Nevada City store receiving area, found and turned
in an old envelope from 1994 containing $900 in one hundred
dollar bills and unsigned travelers checks! Using real Sherlock
Holmes-style sleuthing, Customer Service Specialist Terry, found
the donor using the copy of the 18-year-old passport also in
the envelope. When the donor picked up their valuables they
requested $200 be donated to Friends of Hospice to beneft the
programs of Hospice of the Foothills. Kudos to all and thank you
for the great way you represent Hospice of the Foothills in our
community.
Your support goes far beyond a purchase
When you make a tax-deductible donation or shop at Hospice
of the Foothills Gift and Thrift, your giving goes a very long way

life limiting illnesses. Hospice of the Foothills offers a Medi-
care certifed hospice program for those with a prognosis of six
months or less. Patient and family centered professional com-
passionate care includes clinical services, pain and symptom

In service to the community, Hospice of the Foothills offers ad-
vanced care planning resources, bereavement services, and grief
