His local links account for two of the 12 courses available for play in Roseville (five), Lincoln (three), Rocklin (two) and Granite Bay (two).

Velazquez swung her way to the state meet. For boys, Del Oro and Granite Bay of Placer County’s Sierra Foothill League have qualified full teams to NorCals four times in the past three seasons. Granite Bay won a state golf title in 2012. The numbers translate across the leaderboards of elite junior golf tournaments, as well. The venue may change, but Placer County prestige doesn’t and Wright knows why. “The fact that courses in the area provide access to young people allows high school and college programs in the area to thrive,” Wright said. “Some areas will have courses so busy

that they cannot accommodate juniors to golf for lower prices.” “Here in Placer County the competition allows for juniors to golf frequently. The Rocklin Golf Club and Morgan Creek Golf Club both have two high schools that utilize us as their home course.” The competition also makes for plenty of motivation when it comes to service and scenery. “We can’t afford to lack in service or course condition,” Wright said. “We have to maintain an excellent course and provide excellent customer service to stay competitive.” That competitive nature seems to rub off on the Placer County clientele.

Do you like to race bicycles? How about going over waving hills and into banking turns? If so, then Oak Creek BMX wants you. Located at 648 Riverside Ave., Roseville, the American Bicycle Association-affiliated track was opened in 1985 by Bruce and Linda Minton, and the track designed by ABA designers has been in the top 2 percent of tracks in the nation. “The track is compacted but smooth as sand,” said Bruce Minton. “It sticks together. We also have shade — no one else has shade.” They accept all age groups to race, from 1-year-olds all the way up to seniors who just haven’t grown away from racing bikes. The cost to practice at the track is $5 and $10 to race on race day. With a clinic

Three parks in Rocklin feature spraygrounds, said Karen Garner, public affairs and economic growth manager for the city. Memorial Park, located next to Rocklin’s City Hall, has a long history with the city, according to Garner. “The inclusion of the interactive water feature was the result of input received from the public at several community forums held in 2000,” Garner said. “A grand re-opening was held on July 9, 2002, making it one of the first, if not the first, interactive water parks in the area.”

At Kathy Lund Park, children can stay cool with the many arches and tunnels that spray water, as well as water that jets up from the ground. Roseville’s biggest water feature, according to city spokesperson Pam Allen, is the spray ground at Vernon Street Town Square, which opened during the summer of 2013. Water shoots up from the ground at the town square’s spray ground. “Vernon Street Town Square is a great place to enjoy the water, as there are a few tables with umbrellas for parents to sit or to enjoy a quick snack,” Allen said. “Plus you can walk to several local restaurants for a bite to eat.” Story time and Wee One Wednesdays are available May through October, Allen said, which feature child-friendly activities on the town square stage and throughout the square. Roseville also has three public pools, and two of them feature water slides, according to Allen.

hen a walk around the neighborhood just won’t do for your pup, dog parks are a fun way to get exercise and socialization. Luckily for dogs in Roseville, Rocklin and Lincoln, there are five dog parks to choose from. Roseville has three dog parks that range in size between 1.5 and two acres, said Pam Allen, a spokesperson for the city of Roseville. A dog run is also located at Saugstad Park (100 Buljan Drive). Each dog park in Roseville has something different to offer users, according to Allen. “Marco Dog Park has a large kiosk built by an Eagle Scout that is used for displaying a variety of dog-friendly activities,” Allen said. “Bear Dog Park has separate large and small dog areas with canine play equipment in each area.” Hughes Dog Park has both a general use area and fenced training areas, Allen said.

Sara Anderson visits Hughes Dog Park with her golden retriever, Baker, six times a week. She said she prefers Hughes because it’s “quiet and less busy.” “He can focus more,” said Anderson, who also talked about how visiting the dog park benefits Baker. “It tires him out and is really good for socialization and manners, since he’s so young.” Some etiquette to consider while at the dog park, according to Allen, includes bringing in a healthy and vaccinated dog to play. “Do not take your dog off of the leash until you are in the park and all gates have been closed,” Allen said. “Pay attention to your dog and how it interacts with others, and pick up after your dog. Ensure that your dog responds to voice commands.” Rocklin’s sole dog park is located within JohnsonSpringview Park, according to Rocklin’s public affairs manager Karen Garner. Garner said the main force behind the 1.5 acre-park was the nonprofit organization Rocklin Residents Unite for Fido (RRUFF). RRUFF founder Vicki Bottini Curtis said the park features Continued on next page

Each area has a watering station, said Curtis, and the large dog area has a sprinkler in the middle so the dogs can cool off on hot days. Lincoln also has a dog park, said Lincoln recreation supervisor Kristine Pelzman. It’s located in Auburn Ravine Park and is two acres. Auburn Ravine Dog Park has a separate area for small dogs and large dogs, according to Pelzman, as well as shade structures and picnic tables for owners. Lincoln’s dog park also features several water spigots for filling dog water bowls, according to Pelzman. Kiddie pools and large tubs are sometimes available to fill with water to give the dogs a place to cool off.

T HE BR EWS A B O UND BY TOBY LEWIS GOLD COUNTRY NEWS SERVICE

he craft beer business is booming and looking to “hop” in on the action are several South Placer breweries that have sprung up in recent years. “The renaissance of brewing is on the West Coast, and I want to be part of it,” said Brett Ratcliff, brew master at Roseville Brewing Company. Here is a short list of some places to find great homegrown craft beer throughout the South Placer region.

Roseville Brewing Company

Ratcliff got his start in the brewery business as a home brewer, using a professional pilot system he received from his wife as a gift. He has since developed a talent for creating several different styles of beer, including wheat ales, stouts and much more. Operating under the “Iron Triangle” label, a nod to Roseville’s long-standing railroad history, the brewery features a taproom with modest bar, several tables and a flat-screen TV. There is also a small retail shop with Tshirts, growlers and pint glasses for sale.

Out of Bounds Brewing

This is one of South Placer’s newest breweries, conveniently located in an office park off of Taylor Road near downtown Rocklin. “We really thought there was a deficiency in great craft breweries up here in the north Sacramento area,” said co-owner Anthony Brown. “Our plan was to open up a craft brewery that showcased Eng-

lish brewing methodology.” Head brewer Bruce MacPhee comes from Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Ore., where he honed his craft for more than a decade. MacPhee uses only whole-cone, dry-kiln hops in all of his beers, varieties of which span from India pale ale to chocolate porter, red ale, oak-aged stout and more. The refurbished space features high wooden ceilings and a 200-year-old ponderosa pine bar top reclaimed from the San Martin Gold Mine.

Goat House Brewery

Goat House Brewery is a family-owned business that embraces a “farm-to-glass” philosophy, operating out of a big red barn on the Placer County Wine Trail. The Goat House tasting room has captured the area’s history and character by reusing local materials and working with Placer County artists and suppliers. By growing hops onsite, the brewery also showcases the flavor profiles of its beers in manner designed to help make the Placer Valley part of an ag-centric region. Current beers on tap at Goat House Brewery are Jagged Little Pils, Bodacious Belgain Blonde, Dirty Redhead and Darkside. The brewery is at 600 Wise Road in rural Lincoln. Tasting-room hours are 2 to 6 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. ~Jon Schultz contributed to this report.

Shady Coffee and Tea

There is nothing technology and strong commitment to art can’t accomplish, and the baristas at Shady Coffee and Tea prove it every sunrise, using an iPad and their own two feet to offer the convenience of a drive-thru while making handcrafted drinks that blast beyond commuters’ expectations. But if Shady is competing with fastserve coffee chains on the drive-thru front, its enthusiasts are quick to point out the café’s alterative mood and laid-back energy are the very definition of coffee culture. Shady is owned by Shelly Williams and managed by Kenny and Breanna Davis. While many of the top coffee draws in the region partner with bean roasters in the Bay Area, Shady is working with Entimos Coffee Roasters and Mast Coffee Roasting, both from Sacramento. “We want to support the local roasters as much as possible,” Kenny Davis explains. “And both of our roasters bring a lot of good quality control. They’re striving for the same thing we are: They’re finding the perfect notes through roasting profiles and then we, in turn, are trying to produce good extractions while brewing or pulling espresso shots.” Creating coffee profiles is a freestyle method of roasting that allows the crafts-

man behind the flame to locate the best natural characteristics and flavors out of series of different roasting attempts. It’s a very technical process, and Shady’s management goes to great pains to teach its baristas the proper water weights, coffee grams and extraction methods to make sure the full impact of the profiles isn’t lost. Shady’s ability to turn around guru-level espresso drinks isn’t only thing generating buzz: The café’s tone is barebones and bohemian — a warm, cave-like comfort zone that keeps the most artistic personalities in Roseville hanging out there. Every Friday night, Shady offers an acoustic open mic, hosted by David Albertson, bassist for the band Humble Wolf. Shady has become such a second home to musicians that it’s nearly synonymous with Roseville songwriting and performing. In August, the café also started a bi-monthly Jazz Night on Wednesdays. The evening that christened the jazz feature lured in numerous passersby who heard the snappy, pulsing sounds. Jayson Angove is both a barista at Shady and a well-known local musician and sound engineer. He thinks Shady’s combination of cool milieu and upper-end coffee has made it a way station for talented individuals. “It seems like every time we do an open mic, we have new musicians coming in that are really phenomenal,” Angove says. “It’s pretty much good music all night long in a place where you can grab really great coffee.” In the tradition of great indie superior houses, Shady’s baristas are also on a firstname basis with many of their customers. For Kenny Davis, the calm familiarity locals feel inside the café is part of why it stands apart from cookie-cutter corporations with low-quality beans. “The chains buy the cheapest beans they can, and they price things in a way that makes it tough for coffee farmers to really make any money at all,” Davis remarks. “A lot of bean farmers don’t even drink their own coffee, because they can’t afford to. We pay five times for our beans what the chains pay for theirs, but it gives fair trade to the farmers, and our customers get a top-quality bean. Between that and the social, friendly atmosphere we have, and I don’t see it as a competition — we’re just a completely different option.”

LO C A L C O LO R O N D I S P L AY BY ANDREW WESTROPE GOLD COUNTRY NEWS SERVICE

sk an aficionado in Lincoln, Rocklin and Roseville about the local art scene, and they may each paint a different picture. But whether they describe a competitive and dynamic market or a burgeoning niche, they’ll each mention a favorite gallery. In Lincoln, the hub of the scene is dominated by the aptly named Art League of Lincoln, incorporated in March 2012 as a nonprofit organization to champion art education and tourism. The League opened its own proprietary art center on Sixth Street in August 2013, at which it regularly displays the work of its members, and was voted “Best Unique Business” by readers of the Lincoln News Messenger that year. According to local connoisseurs, Rocklin’s art gallery scene is small and growing, as the curators of many small galleries have come and gone over the past few years. A staple of public exhibition since 1998 has been the Ridley Gallery at Sierra College, which displays work from artists both local and international, some of whom are faculty members, alumni or current students, Mondays through Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. When co-curator Gayle Rappaport-Weiland helped open Gallery iQ on Midas Avenue in July 2013, she said another gallery in the city would be a “tremendous asset.” “I feel it will inspire and enrich Rocklin, because we really lack galleries in Rocklin, and it’s very important for our local econo-

Sherry Hein of Carmichael admires the work of several local artists on display at Rocklin’s new Gallery iQ. Photo by Anne Stokes my, for education of the community and just sharing of the arts to have galleries in a community,” she said. In an arguably more competitive market, Roseville boasts a diverse array of canvas and craft by local exhibitors, from professional photography galleries and frame stores to oil paintings and prints at Tuscany Gallery and painted and ornamental eggs at Eggstra Special. A cornerstone of Roseville’s art scene is Blue Line Arts, which has exhibited works by regional and national artists for more than 45 years, five at its current location on Vernon Street, at which different curators maintain three galleries, one of which is reserved for work by children. Fair Oaks resident Kathleen Mazzei, operations manager at Blue Line Arts, said the diversity of the organization reflects its clients. “(The local art scene) is always changing and growing,” she said. “We consider all of Placer County, just because we work closely with different organizations the arts are in — Auburn, Lincoln, Rocklin … There are tons of artists in our area that apply to every single one of our shows.”

HIT THE DIRT! Trails aplenty throughout Placer Valley For those looking to take the path less traveled — or even the path most traveled — options abound in this area. Some favorite hiking trails include Miners Ravine Trail, which runs along Dry Creek from Folsom Road to Harding Boulevard in Roseville. The easy, nearly twomile train takes about an hour to hike, and also welcomes bikers. The South Branch of the Pleasant Grove Creek Trail wind for about three miles starting at Horncastle Avenue in Roseville. According to EveryTrail.com, the trail is “fairly level” and takes one to three hours to traverse. Roseville is also home to Dry Creek Trail, a 1.7-mile trail between Roseville and Antelope; and Maidu Regional Park offers a trail that loops through the interior of the park, offering the chance to check out artifacts of an ancient Maidu Indian village site.

PLACER’S LIVE MUSIC SCENE

ive music is a popular commodity in the Placer Valley region. With no shortage of restaurants, bars and lounge cafes to choose from, visitors looking for either dinner and a tune or a musical night out at the pub are likely to find one if they consult locals. Enrique Ortiz, general manager of Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que on Lonetree Boulevard in Rocklin, said his restaurant started booking both local and traveling talent through a talent agency when it opened in 2006. On Saturdays at the restaurant’s Flying Pig Lounge, which serves hickory-smoked barbecue and a full bar of margaritas, martinis, beer and wine with a side of live jazz and blues from 6-10 p.m., Ortiz said he can usually rely on a crowd. “We always have a full bar on Saturdays, knock on wood,” he said. General manager Chris Sullivan of Dillian’s Bar & Grill in Lincoln tells a similar story. He said Dillian’s has been doing strong business for the past eight years on the second and fourth Fridays of each month, when it books live rock ’n’ roll or country artists, and members of the bands and the audience have become regulars over the years. The restaurant has also started booking live acts for Tuesday nights. “We get bands from everywhere,” Sullivan said. “The Tuesday-night thing is something we’ve only been doing for about six months,

Photo by Philip Wood and it’s starting to take off a little bit, I guess. But the live bands have always done well. We have a pretty good following here.” One of the hottest spots for live music is Old Town Roseville’s collection of vintage bars, many dating back from the 1920s. The Owl Club is the most seasoned of these venues, having operated continuously for nearly 100 years — even when it was a secret “speakeasy” during the Prohibition era. It maintains its classic Art Deco look from that time period. Today, the Owl Club remains one of the top stages for regional rock bands, including Guitar Head, Humble Wolf and Hero’s Last Mission. The Owl Club is located at 109 Church Street.
