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:
  2011 Best of Nevada County  9
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!

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 
in providing programs and services to community members with 
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 
management, personal care, counseling, and volunteer support.  
In service to the community, Hospice of the Foothills offers ad-
vanced care planning resources, bereavement services, and grief 
support. 
Thank you for your continued support.  Our entire community 
benefts when you choose Hospice of the Foothills Gift and Thrift.
