The Heat is
On in Placer
Kitchens
New Auburn
‘Hot’ Spot
As recessionary pressures push
patrons and profits out the front
door, a line of vendors and
bureaucrats wait at the back
doors of area eateries wanting
more. Don’t think it affects you?
Guess again.

by John McCreadie
As the hot summer temperatures subside, record heat remains
in the forecast for nearly 1,800
restaurants in Placer County as
restaurateurs feel the sizzle of
high fuel prices, skyrocketing
food costs and stiff competition.
In an industry that turns on
butcher-blade-sharp margins
during the best of times, the heat
is definitely on to trim operating
costs and manage runaway food
costs without compromising the
quality their guests demand.
And now, after two years of
absorbing congressionally
mandated minimum-wage
increases, eater ies have to
swallow the biggest increase ever
in Placer County permit fees
levied on food establishments,
which went into effect July 1.
“I think it’s one of the
industry’s worst downturns in a
long time,” says John Lindh, a
local district manager for the
Black Angus Restaurant chain,
which has a restaurant in
Roseville. “Restaurants are
typically the first hit (in a down
economy) and the last to
comeback.”
Owners at eateries throughout
Placer County, both independently owned and chain estab-
lishments, agree this may be one
of the toughest downturns. Most
are seasoned restaurant managers
and have been through these
kinds of dips before, but point to
the triple whammy of a slowed
economy—thanks to the crash of
the local construction industry
and growing fears about the
current economy—combined
with high fuel prices and rapidly
rising costs for food staples,
makes this slump stand out.
“We’ve dealt with these things
independently in the past, but
never all of them at the same
time,” says G. Bric Haley, owner
of the River Ranch Lodge and
Restaurant in Tahoe City and
current board chairman for the
California Restaurant Association.
It was just a few years ago that
restaurants in the county were
flourishing, which brought with
it a boom in new restaurants.
This competition is putting
additional pressure on local
restaurants dur ing the business
downturn. Placer County Health
and Human Services Director
Dr. Richard Burton reports a
50 percent increase in the last
five years on the number of food
facilities his organization inspects.
Tough times in this tough
business—where earning five
Reese Browning, owner of Old Town Pizza locations in Auburn
and Lincoln, feels the squeeze as the cost of his gourmet pizza
ingredients skyrocket, reducing profits.
cents on the dollar can be
considered a good investment
return—is taking its toll. The
X-Mex restaurant in Colfax
shuttered its doors last year and
the Downtown Grill in Auburn
filed for bankruptcy earlier this
year. Baker’s Square Restaurant
in the Bowman Area closed
during the summer.
Add in Placer County’s illtimed and unprecedented fee
hikes which will raise fees
between 70 and 90 percent for
restaurants over the next three
years, and a recipe for restaurant
failure emerges. These hikes,
described by some as a tax
disguised as a fee, will be passed
on to customers as owners say
they see no other choice in the
current economic environment.
At the same time, county health
and safety inspections will be cut
in half from two inspections per
year to just one.
Inflation on the Menu
At the heart of it all, say
economists and owners, is the
sliding economy and rising
inflation. “Placer County has
been hit pretty hard because of
the drop in its real estate and
construction markets,” says Ty
Rowe, owner of Bootleggers in
Auburn.
For restaurateurs, it means
more than just the yeast in their
bread is rising. Today’s inflation
impacts every ingredient in their
kitchens, including key commodities such as flour and butter,
the price of which historically
Local firefighters
received at least two
calls from concerned
motorists seeing flames
in the upstairs window of
the just-opened Oakfire
Grill restaurant, a new
family eatery along
Highway 49 near
Atwood in North
Auburn. In the
evenings, co-owner
Frank Welch turns on his
silk-light window flames
– which he built himself to create the illusion of
oak-fired flames. It
appears to be working.
Shortly after opening
its doors two weeks ago,
the newly re-modeled
building has been filled
with customers looking
to test-drive the new
establishment. “We’re
serving 700-800
customers a day,” says
Welch, an experienced
restaurateur. “This place
is only equipped for
500.” Each day he goes
through 500 pounds of
meat.
While he’s worried
about the economy,
Welch shrugs, “we’re
just thankful to be
surviving.” For the
moment, he has more
immediate problems
coming at him, such as
fixing software glitches
in his new ordering
system and getting his
staff trained on the fine
art of smoking ribs.
At Auburn’s new hot
spot, reservations are
recommended.
About the Cover: Like most restaurant owners in the region,
Jum Soon Kim of Frenchy’s Gold Country Café feels the
pressure of the bad economy. Her recipe to combat
inflationary factors is to keep prices down - despite the hit
to her already thin profit margins - and make sure customers
are happy. She also recently updated her menu, began
providing discounts to seniors, and added a gift shop in an
effort of attract more tourists to her Downtown Auburn café.

What Can
Diners Do?
Continuing to eat out
as their budget allows is
obviously the best way
customers can help
local eateries weather
tough economic times.
There are other things,
too, that can help.
• Credit cards come
with a higher cost of
doing business, which
gets passed on to
customers, and cost
business owners about
three to four percent
of the total cost of a
meal. Paying for meals
with cash helps
provide eateries with a
higher profit margin
and should be
considered whenever
possible.
• Be as generous as
possible when tipping
food servers. As
business falls, so goes
their tip income.
• If you are not happy
with something at a
restaurant, tell the
owner or manager so
they have an
opportunity to make
things right and keep
your business.

industry in Placer County is
holding its own. Health director
Burton reports that county
permit fees are up by five percent
this year, which means more
restaurants are opening than
closing - at least for now.
But as the cooler weather takes
hold and the seasonally slow
holiday time for restaurants
draws near, it’s a sure bet many
restaurant owners will still be
feeling the heat.

of Supervisors ordered an
unprecedented increase in health
inspection fees.With a 4-1 vote,
supervisors opted for a three-year
phase-in approach to up permit
fees by about 30 percent each
year in an effort to eliminate
general-fund subsidies for health
inspections.When fully implemented, the county’s general
fund will be $2 million richer in
2010.
Placer County Supervisor
Bruce Kranz strongly opposed
the hike. “They said this doesn’t
impact citizens, but it does.” says
Kranz. “What we did really helps
the big boys when we should be
focusing on small businesses right
now.”
While some restaurant owners
claim they were too busy
running their operations to
attend the county hearings on
the fee hikes, officials say the
process was fair. Still, most
owners are not happy with such
significant hikes during such
difficult times. “There’s no way
any of that cost can’t be passed

they charge customers on a sixmonth basis, instead of the usual
12-month cycle. That, ironically,
also leads to higher annual costs
for printing up new menus.
At the same time, the invoices
for most ingredients now almost
all come with a fuel surcharge,
which wasn’t there a year ago.
And significantly higher prices at
the pump also impact restaurants
by reducing the number of

Browning. “But it looks like local

COPS & ROBBERS
Sept. 9 At approx. 6 p.m., Auburn Police pulled over a vehicle
on Lincoln Way. What started as a routine traffic stop led to a DUI
arrest.The passenger, a 24-year-old woman from Redding, was
then arrested when the cops discovered that she was wanted by
Sacramento County for an outstanding bench warrant issued when
she failed to appear at Court in their jurisdiction.The pair was
taken into custody and booked into Placer County Jail.
Sept. 9 A couple from Roseville wandered into Auburn and
found themselves in handcuffs by 11 p.m. The man, 25 years old,
was booked into Placer County jail for alleged activities including,
but not limited to, possession of controlled substances for sale,
fraud, and receiving stolen property. His companion, 37-year-old
woman, was booked on charges related to fraud, identity theft, and
possession of controlled substances. “Thank you APD” for sending
a message that we don’t appreciate that stuff being brought into
our neighborhood.
Sept. 12 A 39-year-old woman and a 44-year-old man, both
from Sacramento, were arrested in Old Town when their romantic
night in the foothills turned into an alleged drunken bar-crawl.
They were booked into the county clink for allegedly being drunk

The Other Side of Auburn
by Gary Moffat
Gangs? What Gangs?
As a director of the Auburn
Chamber of Commerce, I
participated in an all-day
“Strategic Planning Conference
2009” last Saturday designed to
examine and prepare for change
in Auburn. In one workshop, the
audience was broken up into
three groups and we were asked
to answer this question, which I
paraphrase: What are the top
three non-business problems
facing Auburn, and how can they
be solved?”
Most of the issues raised by the
group are obvious and pressing:
How do we deal with handling
waste-water and rebuilding an
aging sewer system? How does
the community keep pace with
the rising costs of running the
city? How do we handle
burgeoning growth and the
resulting increase in traffic in our
community? How do we create a
unique identity for Auburn to set
us apart from our neighbors?
Then one participant offered
this: “Gangs. . .we’ve got to do
something about gangs.”
I’ve lived and worked in this
community for eight years, and
while I have observed groups of
kids hanging out in the parks,
kids skateboarding on the streets
and occasional acts of graffiti and
tagging, there is absolutely no
evidence that we have a gang
problem in Auburn.
So, I asked my fellow panelist:
“What makes you say that?”
The answer didn’t surprise me
one bit. This person is a member
of the Downtown Rotary Club
and he was in the audience
during a presentation by
Auburn’s Chief of PoliceValer ie
Harris who exposed in detail our
community’s alleged “gang
problem.”
Since I was not present at the
Rotary luncheon, I can’t
comment on the substance of
Chief Harris’ overview, but I did
sit through a similar dire warning
issued by an Auburn police
detective during a meeting of
local restaurant owners earlier
this year. My response was the
same: “Gangs. What Gangs?”
It was just about a year ago
that Chief Harris sent out a call
for mutual aid to neighboring
police departments because of an

The federal government’s
abject failure to control our
borders, enforce the immigration
laws and the spreading infection
of political correctness in our
universities (“America is an
imper ialist, racist, patriarchal and
greedy country,” says the
taxpayer-funded professorate) has,
over the last several decades,
resulted in the steady erosion of
the once distinct idea of American citizenship. Illegal aliens
have become merely “undocumented.” Some candidates for
federal and state office want to

taxpayers to subsidize the cost of

thereby change the direction of

for American citizens is deemed
racist. Are we becoming less a

in which anybody from around
the world can simply line up and
grab some goodies?
California lawmakers have
gone down the dreadful path of

now, but the debate has been

Flu Season is Coming: Help
Stay Healthy with a Flu Shot
It’s time for a flu shot for
anyone who wants to reduce
their chance of getting the flu. A
plentiful supply of the vaccine is
available from health care
providers and local retail establishments.
Placer County’s Health and
Human Services Depar tment
will once again sponsor low-cost
flu clinics for those in the risk
groups identified below. These
clinics are conveniently located
in a number of Placer County
communities. One clinic,
scheduled for Thursday, Oct.16, is
a drive-through clinic and will
be available from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
at the Gold Country Fairgrounds
upper parking lot on Fairgate
Street, off Auburn Folsom Road
in Auburn.
The federal Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
and California Department of
Public Health recommend that
the following groups receive flu
vaccinations:
• Adults aged 50 and older.
• All women who are or will be
pregnant during influenza
season.
• All children six months to 18
years of age.
• Residents of nursing homes
and other chronic care
facilities.
• Healthcare workers with direct
patient care. New state law
requires acute care hospitals to
offer vaccine to all employees
free of charge.
• Individuals with underlying
chronic medical conditions.
• Individuals who live with or
care for an elderly individual, a
child less than five years of age,
or a person with chronic
medical conditions.
Children younger than nine
years of age getting a flu vaccine
for the first time will need two
doses of flu vaccine. This year in
addition to flu injections, Placer
County has available for those
who meet medical guidelines,
limited amounts of vaccine in
intranasal form.
An updated schedule of the
County’s flu shot clinics is
available on line at
www.placer.ca.gov. Residents can
also call the County’s flu hotline
at (530) 889-7161 to hear a

Some of the questions most
often asked about Sutter
Auburn Faith Hospice.
Auburn Area Participants
Sought For World Run Day
Two charity runs to
coincide with others
internationally
Runners of all ages, skill levels
and abilities are invited to
register for the tenth annual
World Run Day, a charitable
event that celebrates the joy of
running with other runners
around the world.
Hosted by Auburn’s
AdventureHere, the event takes
place on Sunday, Nov. 9 at
Railhead Park in Auburn.
Personal trainer Angela Martin is
spearheading the Auburn event,
which will feature two runs – a
two-miler for ages five and up;
and a five-miler for all fitness
levels. The runs will coincide
with other runs taking place
around the world, with all
dedicated to raising funds for
charity.
“This is a wonderful event that
helps celebrate the sport of
running with others in our area,”
said Martin, “and to know that
we are joining thousands of other
runners around the world who
are dedicated to raising funds for
worthy causes.”
World Run Day was founded
in 1999 with a vision of having
runners worldwide run for their
favorite charities on one special
day. Runners can choose to
participate in any way they wish,
in races or small fun runs, with a
group, their family or even solo.
In 2007, the World Run Day
began to emphasize the event as
a “virtual run” where local runs
are held and the participant’s
registration information and
results posted online. Last year
more than 2,500 runners
participated worldwide.
Registration fee is $15, with all
proceeds from the Auburn World
Run Day events benefit the
Breast Cancer 3-day Walk in San
Diego later in the month. Each
runner receives a World Run
Day T-shirt, a bib number and a
certificate for completing the
run. Deadline to reg ister for the
run is Oct.15.
I am a single woman, living alone, with a
diagnosis of cancer. I hope that treatment will
extend my life, but when I need Hospice, do I have
to go to a nursing home? To be at home with my
own things about me would make my last days
so much better.
To reg ister, contact Angela
Martin at
fitness@adventurehere.com or
call (415) 250-2600. For more
info, visit adventurehere.com.
KEEP UP
WITH THE LOCAL
SCENE
Our goal at Hospice is help people achieve their own goals for
life closure. We often have Hospice clients living alone for
long periods. Our staff visit, and our volunteers often assist
with errands such as shopping. As they weaken, our team
helps clients secure the care giving arrangement they need, be
it at home with friends or privately paid staff, or in a facility.
We will help you find a way to end your days the way you
want.

8:30 a.m. in Department 44, located at 10820 Justice Center
Dr., Roseville, CA 95661.
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting
of the petition, you should appear
at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections
with the court before the hearing.
Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a
contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim
with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by the court within four
months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in
Probate Code section 9100. The
time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the
hearing date noticed above.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file
kept by the court. If you are a
person interested in the estate,
you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form
DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate
assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate
Code section 1250. A Request
for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Arts Contest Folds
After two years of trying to
jumpstart a novel arts contest
where every entrant is a winner,
Auburn publisher Stuar t
Rawlings says the Auburn Arts
Contest will no longer continue.
“We are very proud of the
work we have done,” says
Rawlings. “We introduced the
concept of a contest in which the
categories are unlimited and
launched a beautiful book.
Everyone is a winner.”
Rawlings believes that with
the “present economic hard
times,” contestants would no
longer be willing to pay the
entry fees. “The project is just
not financially viable,” he says.
Rawlings adds, however, that he
and partner Jane Roach will
continue to promote books,
music and art in other ways
through their publishing company, Sierra Dreams Press.
Water Outages and Fees
Placer County Water Agency
(PCWA) officials announced this
year’s annual canal maintenance
outage, where ir rigation and
water transport canals get cleaned
and repaired, will last four weeks
beginning Oct. 19. The agency
also sent out letters reminding
customers that fees are expected
to increase
Dear to Retire Unexpectedly
Placer County’s chief assessor
Bruce Dear surprisingly announced plans to retire Oct. 17
due to unspecified health reasons.
Dear has been at the post for 18
years and leaves it two years short
of finishing his latest term. The
county Board of Supervisors
could name a successor or opt
for a special election.
Lincoln’s Pain in the Ash
Placer County will sponsor a
community forum Sept. 25 to
discuss the Gladding Fire, the
fast-moving blaze that consumed
960 acres and destroyed six
residences and 10 outbuildings in
rural Lincoln. Placer County
Supervisor Robert Weygandt,
who represents the District 2
area, will be on hand to discuss
recovery efforts now under way.
“I have lived most of my life in
the Lincoln area, and I had never
seen anything like the Gladding
Fire. The community meeting
will be a good opportunity to
talk about the lessons learned
from the fire and continue our
education about things residents
can do to help protect their
homes from wildfires.” Residents
impacted by Sept. 1 fire are being
urged by city officials to obtain
clean-up guidelines to ensure
public health. The forum will be
held at 7 p.m. in Mount Pleasant
Hall at 3333 Mt. Pleasant Rd.
