This year has been monumental, as we have received the highest number of votes since the year 2000! Over 1,000 paper ballots were submitted to us and we had over 2,300 people vote online. That is more than three times the votes received in 2013. 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. The overwhelming support received by our runnerups is note worthy as well. The success of our online voting has confirmed that the citizens of Nevada County truly belong to the digital age. We would like to thank our readers, winners, runner-ups and advertisers for making this publication possible. This is our most popular publication and it would not be possible without your continued support. You voted and now it’s time to see who won! And the winners are …
Quality Work – On Time Thank you Nevada County for voting me “Best General Contractor” for the third year in row. I am very honored and look forward to serving you again in 2014.

Welcome
to the 2013 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 and commitment of these individuals and organizations help create a great place to live, work and play. This year is very special as we celebrate 15 years of this publication. During the month of January, we asked you – our loyal readers – to tell us who your favorites are in the community. We offered the opportunity to fill out a paper ballot found in The Union, and we also added a new online voting component for all categories this year. We utilized Upickem, a contest-engine produced by Second Street. Upickem enabled our readers to enter their votes online, as well as allowed The Union to increase the volume of response. To ensure the integrity of the paper voting process, these ballots were also processed in Upickem in order to consolidate and tabulate the final winners.

yers’ LeafGuard is the only seamless, one-piece leaf protection gutter system in the market. Byers’ LeafGuard works on the scientific principle known as “liquid adhesion.” Rainwater clings to Leaf Guard’s curved hood and drops into the trough, while leaves, twigs, pine needles, and debris roll over the edge to the ground. This means the homeowner will never have to clean or maintain their gutters. Unlike two-piece systems, screens or add-on covers, Byers’ LeafGuard is an integrated system formed from a single piece of aluminum. Seamless construction – along with our heavy, commercial-grade .032” aluminum – gives our gutters superior structural strength. Seamless also means our gutters won’t leak. From our humble beginnings in 1987, Byers’ has grown to become one of the largest LeafGuard companies in the country. We owe our success to

our extraordinary staff. Our people are passionately committed to the principles that guide our company: honesty, integrity, superior workmanship, community involvement, and the desire to exceed our client’s expectations. Since 2001, Byers’ has won California’s WRAP award for leadership in recycling. WRAP (Waste Reduction Awards Program) was created by the California Integrated Waste Management Board to recognize California Businesses that have made outstanding efforts to reduce waste going to landfills. Our guarantee says it all: “Byers’ LeafGuard Gutter Systems is guaranteed to NEVER clog for as long as you own your home, or we’ll clean it for free!” If it clogs, we clean it – end of story. Customers can buy with confidence, knowing that they will never have to clean their gutters again. — Ray Byers, Sr., owner

etwork Real Estate: Integrity and good corporate citizenship The keys to success are unique to every individual business owner. For Network Real Estate owners Bill and Kathy Papola, their 32-year firm was founded on a higher level of excellence that blends professionalism, integrity and being responsible corporate citizens. Bill and Kathy have been long-time Nevada County residents, each relocating from different areas. Bill obtained his real estate license in 1973, and just recently received his REALTOR® Emeritus status from the National Association of REALTORS® for his forty years as a member. In his early career, he was a local ranch and acquisitions broker. Kathy got her license in 1975. She specialized in land in the Chicago Park and Rollins Lake area. Their paths crossed in the late-1970s, and together they set the course for what has become one of our community’s thriving, locally owned companies. The Papolas opened their first real estate
PROFILE
office, Consolidated Brokers, a block from downtown Grass Valley in 1982. That same year, they bought the site at the corner of Colfax and South Auburn that is now Network Real Estate’s corporate office. Today, with branches in Nevada City, Lake Wildwood and in South County plus over 50 REALTORS® strong, Network has its roots firmly in Western Nevada County. While their business roots are in the county, their hearts are in community. The two are deeply involved in a variety of local charities, and are particularly supportive of youth resources. A few of them include Youth in Agriculture, Big Brother Big Sisters, The Friendship Club, 4-H, and Agriculture FFA Education. They have also served on many nonprofit boards. “We are thankful to live and work here, and appreciate the recognition as Nevada County’s best real estate company,” stated Kathy.“Our work inside and outside the office is very gratifying. This really is the ‘best’ county to live in!”

O
nce again…..thank you Nevada County for voting Youngs Carpet One and Sierra Tile & Stone“Best Of”for the 15th time! What an honor! My family has been serving Nevada County since 1972, 42 years, WOW! In that time we’ve done jobs from Indonesia to Hawaii. The California State Capitol to Squaw Valley Ski Lodge… Nevada County schools and hospitals, as well as surrounding counties, and lots and lots of your homes and businesses. We obviously couldn’t have done it without you….couldn’t have done it without my amazing staff. Sales, Accounting, Installation, Management, Warehouse, there are a lot of great people that I would like to acknowledge and thank Sometime we think of ourselves in Nevada County as a tiny part of the world… Here at Youngs we have been honored for some pretty special achievements, on a national scale, over the last year. • Wools of New Zealand. No. 1 in sales of over 1400 stores nationwide
• Vinyl and vinyl plank from IVC. No. 1 in sales of over 1400 stores nationwide. (month of April 2013) • Top 10 nationwide in“Tigressa carpet sales” from Shaw Industries, Shaw is the world’s largest carpet manufacturer. During all this I kept saying to myself ”this is Grass Valley in Nevada County? What were the stores doing in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles??”But thanks to YOU…we did it… The last few years have been challenging for lots of businesses, ours included, but we came out of them stronger than ever. My life dream is coming true….a multi-generational family business. Two of my sons and two of my daughterin-laws are active in the store. My mom used to work here and my two brothers, we would laugh about the little children taking over, not a joke anymore! Could not be any prouder. Again, thanks to all of my friends, customers and employees for the 15th time! — Randy Young, President, Youngs Carpet One and Sierra Tile & Stone

PROFILE
Make your family part of our family
S
wasey’s Hair Center is a family owned hair salon that has been serving Nevada County for twenty six years in our current 530 Brunswick Road location. Swasey’s Hair Center was opened by husband and wife Doug and Kay Swasey, and is currently owned Sandra Mathias, their daughter Swasey’s was opened with the goal of supplying the hard working families of Nevada County, just like themselves, with affordable professional quality hair care. We continue this tradition today by continuing to offer an array of different services to benefit the entire family, from classic to current haircuts and styles to custom perms, colors and natural looking hi-lights, as well as waxing and nail services, all at family affordable prices. We contribute our success not only to the years of experience and expertise, but also to the fact that we strive to help each client find a comfortable
confidence in the way their hair looks and feels. Many of our clients have been with us from the start, creating the bond that we had intended from the start. Watching our clients grow from getting their first childhood haircut to now bringing in their own children for their first haircut, or the young family just starting out to now bringing in their grandchildren; is the legacy that the Swasey family intended to create. It is that strong family bond that blends both client and stylist together at Swasey’s. Swasey’s Hair Center is opened six days a week and offers extended hour appointments when available. Call or stop in for your next salon visit. Thank you Nevada County for voting us Best Hair Salon three years in a row! — Kay Swasey, Trishele Swasey, Dawn Montagne, Nancy Harbert-Stadel and Sandra Mathias

to Z Supply was started with Dan Wheat in 1984. He has since added his son, Danny II, along with his daughter, April, who runs the garden center. Our philosophy is to treat every customer like they are family. Since we are the local Ace Hardware, we take their statement and hold it true.“Ace ...the helpful place.”We carry everything from irrigation, electrical, plumbing to beekeeping equipment to canning to a large garden center. We hold weekly workshops for gardening to irrigation to setting up a drip irrigation system. In the early spring, beekeeping workshops start that flow into the summer with canning and home food preservation workshops. A to Z Supply has four full-time beekeepers on staff along with a master gardener and a certified master food preserver. Not sure how to set up a well or start your irrigation for your pasture? They can draw up plans and give you a bid for free. It is all part of the customer service that we provide here at A to Z Supply. A to Z Supply is located on Ridge Road, between Alta Street and Rough and Ready Highway. Follow us on Facebook at A to Z Supply garden center. A to Z Supply is open seven days a week. So, stop and say hi, check out the garden center, walk the aisles of the hardware store, or just stop to pick up some local honey from Dan’s beehives. A to Z Supply, we are here to be helpful ...

GOLD COUNTRY KUK SOOL WON TEACHER OF THE YEAR TONY REYNA, Gold Country Kuk Sool Won 127 Argall Way • Nevada City • (530) 478-1412 • goldcountrykuksoolwon.com
PROFILE
T
he 2014 Best of Nevada Country Teacher of the year is Tony Reyna. Tony owns and operates Gold Country Kuk Sool Won martial arts school in Nevada City. For the last two decades, Tony has been helping the youth and adults in Nevada County and beyond to improve their self-confidence, health, and personal well-being through martial arts training. Tony’s outreach programs have impacted thousands of students through numerous local school districts. His contributions to Big Brothers and Sisters, as well as sponsorships to at risk children with martial arts lessons, have significantly improved the lives and future of hundreds of local children. His family oriented teaching has brought sons, daughters, moms, dads, and grandparents together, often practicing in the same classes. The safe, fun, and family atmosphere has created stronger communication and personal relationships with all involved. Tony began his training in Kuk Sool Won while serving in the US Air Force. In 1982 he tested for his first degree black belt in Kunsan, Korea. He’s had the unique opportunity to have been taught by over twenty different Kuk Sool instructors and masters. He currently trains under the founder’s eldest son, master Sung Jin Suh. One of Tony’s favorite aspects of teaching Kuk Sool Won is the wide range of ages he instructs. Student’s ages range 2 to 83. He firmly believes that the etiquette, patience, self-discipline, and perseverance that are developed through Kuk Sool training will help all students, regardless of age, in their daily lives. The greatest gift Tony receives is seeing former students in the community, many of which are now bringing their children for training and having them remark how Kuk Sool has helped influence their lives. 2014 marks Tony’s 34th year in Kuk Sool and 20th anniversary of teaching in Nevada County.

Nevada County Fairgrounds 530-273-6217 nevadacountyfair.com Thank you for voting the Nevada County Fair as “Nevada County’s Best Local Event” for 12 years in a row! The support of our customers and our community is overwhelming. We are successful because of our amazing community! The Nevada County Fairgrounds – also known as the 17th District Agricultural Association – was established in 1884, stemming from legislative action in 1859, which authorized the formation of agricultural districts. While the Nevada County Fair has been around since 1938 – with the exception of no Fairs during the World War II years – the first Fair at its current location on McCourtney Road was in 1947. The first buildings on the grounds were built in 1951. Today, recognized as “California’s Most Beautiful Fairgrounds,” with one of the top 10 rural fairs in America, the Nevada County Fairgrounds is situated among hundreds of pine trees on nearly 100 acres. In addition to the annual
PROFILE
Fair, it is home to the Draft Horse Classic and Harvest Fair, as well as the Country Christmas Faire. There is also an RV Park, Lions Lake, rental facilities, weekly events, some of our community’s largest outdoor events, and lots of areas to walk. Additionally, the Nevada County Fairgrounds is an economic, social and cultural treasure for Nevada County. In 2009, the annual Fair contributed nearly $20 million in economic impact to Nevada County, created 200 local jobs, and generated approximately $274,000 in local tax revenue. This year’s Nevada County Fair is August 6 – 10, and activities include on-going live entertainment, carnival rides and games, barns full of livestock, thousands of community exhibits, arena events, and food contests. As always, our community non-profit organizations will be serving an array of fabulous food on Treat Street. For more information or event details, visit NevadaCountyFair.com.
