The <strong>Auburn</strong> State Recreation Area Map is a collaborative effort<br />

between PARC and the community of American River experts and<br />

dedicated volunteers who are stewards of the <strong>Auburn</strong> SRA.<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> State Recreation Area*, an<br />

extraordinary recreational, historical and<br />

scenic gem, is located in the Sierra Nevada<br />

Foothills along 48 miles of the North and<br />

Middle Forks of the American River<br />

stretching from <strong>Auburn</strong> to Colfax and<br />

Foresthill. The <strong>Auburn</strong> SRA provides high<br />

quality open space, wildlife habitat and<br />

diverse recreational opportunities deep in<br />

California’s legendary Gold Country. The<br />

American River’s rich cultural tapestry<br />

includes influences from the Maidu<br />

Nisenan Indians, Spanish settlers and Gold<br />

Rush miners. The river was named Rio de<br />

Gold Rush River History<br />

In 1848 the discovery of gold by James<br />

Marshall at Sutter’s Mill on the<br />

South Fork in Coloma, spread a<br />

Gold Rush to the North and Middle<br />

Forks. The “world rushed in” to pan<br />

and dig the precious metal from the<br />

river and canyons. Both the North and<br />

Middle Forks were intensively mined,<br />

and sizeable towns and camps grew up within the<br />

canyons and along the rivers to support the<br />

mining operations. Today, the supply roads and<br />

trails the miners used are the nucleus of the<br />

recreational trail system in the <strong>Auburn</strong> State<br />

Recreation Area. The Gold Rush Mining<br />

Museum is located in the historic <strong>Auburn</strong> Depot,<br />

(see Local Museums) and offers a glimpse into<br />

Placer County’s Gold Rush history.<br />

los Americanos by the Spanish. Today, the<br />

pristine river and canyon trails offer<br />

visitors a variety of recreational activities Mountain Quarries<br />

to responsibly enjoy. Major recreational Railroad Bridge<br />

uses include hiking, mountain biking, The Mountain Quarries Railroad Bridge, also<br />

known locally as “No Hands Bridge,” is the most<br />

horseback riding, whitewater boating,<br />

recognizable historical monument in the Confluence<br />

area. The Pacific Portland Cement Compa-<br />

fishing, swimming, gold panning,<br />

picnicking, and much more.<br />

ny completed the 170 foot long, triple-arch span<br />

Native American<br />

concrete bridge in 1912. At that time it was the<br />

River History<br />

longest concrete arch railroad bridge in the world.<br />

of the many Maidu Nisenan Indian village sites<br />

located a mile up river on the Middle Fork, to the<br />

that flourished along the American River and the<br />

Southern Pacific main line in <strong>Auburn</strong>. In 2004<br />

the Mountain Quarries Railroad Bridge was<br />

added to the National Register of Historic Places.<br />

COMMITMENT TO AUTHENTICITY<br />

Liu Mandarin Kitchen hand-rolls 800-1200 dumplings every day<br />

his has to be your next dining experience in<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong>. Sunny Liu has something special in her<br />

beautiful restaurant in Old Town <strong>Auburn</strong> located<br />

next door to one of the hottest new businesses in<br />

<strong>Auburn</strong>, The Pour Choice.<br />

I was invited one morning to witness just how they make<br />

their dumplings at Liu Mandarin Kitchen. I was quite<br />

surprised at how fast they were at making these, but the taste<br />

was something that I now dream about.<br />

“We make 800-1200 dumplings every day. Hand-made is the<br />

only way,” explains Sunny.<br />

This recipe has been handed down to her from generations<br />

with her father and grandfather teaching her the process.<br />

They come in Pork, Seafood, Beef, and Vegetable. I tried<br />

Sunny’s favorite the Pork.<br />

To say that this is good is an understatement. These<br />

dumplings are perfect, the best that I have ever had in fact.<br />

At first, I didn’t dip the dumpling in the sauce, but when I<br />

did everything changed.<br />

That sauce is so good. I wanted to drink the rest of it straight<br />

out of the dish but thought it would get all over me.<br />

“The sauce is my secret recipe; it’s what makes our dumpling<br />

so good. Customers love,” says Sunny.<br />

If you are looking for something different and have never<br />

been to Sunny’s restaurant, it is worth it. They believe in<br />

hand-making all their food, and often it is made to order so<br />

don’t expect this to be a typical fast food Asian restaurant.<br />

The dumplings alone are worth every minute you have to<br />

wait for them.<br />

NEW CHEF, NEW MENU<br />

We re-visit Tap & Vine<br />

hen we originally did the story on Tap and<br />

Vine in <strong>Auburn</strong> California it was on their<br />

opening night. I decided to come back for<br />

a visit and see what is new since I had heard there was a<br />

new chef and menu.<br />

“My approach to this menu is that good food starts with<br />

good ingredients first and foremost. My style has always<br />

been taking rustic old world preparations and trying to<br />

add something new or modern and put my personal stamp<br />

on the dishes.” explains Chef Thompson<br />

The pricing seems to be on the same plane as owner<br />

Addison Brown hoped to keep it. With large portions and<br />

good quality I can see why this restaurant is still going<br />

strong even in the slow months.<br />

The three main dishes, pictured above, where very good.<br />

Duck Breast with a Pumpkin Mole sauce, Koji aged Short<br />

Ribs, nad a Maple Glazed Fried Chicken.<br />

“Koji is a new ingredient in my arsenal and it’s a lot of<br />

fun playing with it to find new ways to use proteins and<br />

vegetables but I’d say my favorite ingredient overall is<br />

seafood. So many different types of fish and sea creatures<br />

I find a ton of inspiration in. “ explains Chef Thompson<br />

With locally sourced ingredients from farms like Hillview<br />

Farms in <strong>Auburn</strong> they do their best to support local first.<br />

There are 12 beers on tap featuring some local breweries<br />

as well as some of Addison’s favorites. They specialize in<br />

Craft Cocktails that change often to keep it fresh and<br />

creative.<br />

“Thank you <strong>Auburn</strong> for the support and positive feedback<br />

We pushed the edge to offer <strong>Auburn</strong> something different<br />

and we are grateful for the community support.” says<br />

Addison<br />

If you haven’t yet tried Tap and Vine in <strong>Auburn</strong> it is worth<br />

a trip. They did a beautiful job on the remodel of the space


13<br />

to create a warm industrial space<br />

with stained concrete floors and a<br />

stunning bar.<br />

Bio on Chef Thompson<br />

Chef Darren Thompson made his<br />

way through the Sacramento culinary<br />

scene during the farm to fork and<br />

slow food movements, learning from<br />

some of the region’s most influential<br />

chefs. He has been at the helm<br />

of several kitchens from <strong>Auburn</strong>,<br />

Roseville, Sacramento, all the way<br />

to Yolo County’s wine country. His<br />

appreciation for fine ingredients and<br />

mastering technique is what drives<br />

him forward in his career and his<br />

love of creation and nostalgia are<br />

what fill the pages of his menus.<br />

SKINNY CHICKEN PARMESAN<br />

Ingredients<br />

3 chicken breasts halved longways to make 6 portions<br />

2 Tbs olive oil<br />

Spike seasoning<br />

1/2 onion - diced<br />

1 shallot - diced<br />

4 (medium) garlic cloves - crushed<br />

2 cans no salt added diced tomatoes<br />

1 tsp Italian seasoning<br />

1/2 tsp celery seed<br />

1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes<br />

4 Tbsp basil, Chiffonade into whispy slices<br />

1 cup grape tomatoes, slice in 1/3s<br />

6 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese<br />

Directions<br />

Preheat the oven to 350. Cut each chicken breast in half<br />

lengthwise to make 6 equal portions. Season both sides<br />

of the chicken breasts with Spike Seasoning. In a large<br />

skillet - we like cast iron, heat 2 Tbs olive oil and sear the<br />

chicken breasts on both sides. They don’t have to cook<br />

all the way through, but come close. Remove the chicken<br />

from the skillet and set aside. Over medium-high heat,<br />

saute the onion, shallot, and garlic, use a little water to<br />

deglaze the pan. Once browned, add the canned tomatoes<br />

and heat. Add Italian seasoning, celery seed, and red<br />

pepper and heat through. Add the chicken breasts back<br />

into the tomatoes and bake for 15 minutes. Sprinkle<br />

with 1/4C grated mozzarella and broil for 3 more minutes<br />

until the cheese is melted and golden (watch carefully<br />

to prevent burning.) Serve the chicken with the sauce,<br />

sprinkled with basil and fresh grape tomatoes. We love<br />

it over zoodles. Spiralize the zucchini and gently squeeze<br />

with paper towels to remove moisture. The heat of the<br />

chicken and sauce will heat the zoodles. Weight Watchers<br />

THE PEPPER FESTIVAL SPICY PEPPER BEEF SANDWICH<br />

This sandwich is easy to make and even easier to make disappear off your plate. No cooking involved and can be made<br />

in 10 minutes (6 if you’re really hungry). It also features peppers in several forms. There are a few ingredients that don’t<br />

list a measurement since this sandwich really lends itself well to using your own taste. For instance: You’re an adult…<br />

you know how much roast beef you’d like on your sandwich. This recipe makes one sandwich. Use judgement/taste for<br />

more than one.<br />

Ingredients:<br />

• Dutch Crunch Roll - From your bakery. You can also use a Jalapeño-Cheese roll if<br />

you can find it.<br />

• Roast Beef - Don’t go cheap. Go to the deli department and get the fresh, thick, good<br />

stuff. Trust us on this.<br />

• 1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil - You don’t want “experienced” olive oil on this<br />

sandwich.<br />

• Sliced Pepper Jack Cheese - Again, don’t go cheap here. Get the good stuff from the<br />

deli department.<br />

• Crushed Garlic - Crushed garlic in a jar works here, but if you don’t mind making it<br />

fresh, do it.<br />

• Roasted Red Peppers - We like to use Mezzeta’s Roasted Red Bell Peppers. They<br />

are marinated in the jar and are harvested and jarred within 24 hours at their facility in<br />

Napa Valley.<br />

• 1 Tbs Sriracha Sauce - Or to taste.<br />

• 4 Tbs Mayo - Or to taste.<br />

• 1 Tbs Smoked Paprika - This isn’t an ingredient to skip or substitute with regular<br />

Paprika. Go get it on the spice aisle. It really makes the taste of this sandwich pop.<br />

Plus, Paprika is made from dried sweet peppers!<br />

• Sliced Hot Jalapeños - From a jar works great. Check the jar and make sure that you<br />

are buying hot jalapeños. Most jalapeños in a jar at the store are very mild unless it<br />

says hot on the label.<br />

Directions:<br />

1. Mix olive oil, crushed garlic and smoked paprika in a bowl.<br />

2. Add roast beef to mixture and completely coat with mixture.<br />

3. Cut and spread open bread on plate.<br />

5. Place meat onto both sides of bread.<br />

6. Place slices of pepper jack cheese into sandwich to taste.<br />

7. Place red peppers into sandwich to taste.<br />

8. Place sliced jalapeños into sandwich to taste.<br />

9. EAT!<br />

Heat Options:<br />

It’s easy to make this sandwich without its spiciness (but why would you want to?).<br />

Simply cut out the sriracha sauce and any trace of jalapeños and replace the pepper<br />

jack cheese with another type of cheese. The roasted red peppers and the paprika are<br />

mild.<br />

The pepper festival is a new event coming to <strong>Auburn</strong> in June of this year and will be held at the<br />

Gold Country Fairgrounds.

NEVER GIVE UP<br />

Local motivational speaker, realtor, and life coach takes on Spartan<br />

Susan Teixeira has that quality about her. That never give<br />

in, never say I can’t, determination to the end. I heard<br />

about her story of not just getting in shape at the young age<br />

of 50, she wanted to take on the mother of them all. The<br />

Spartan.<br />

Accordingly to wikipedia<br />

Spartan Race is a series of obstacle races of varying distance<br />

and difficulty ranging from 3 miles to marathon distances.<br />

They are held in US and have been franchised to 30<br />

countries including Canada, South Korea, Australia and<br />

several European countries. The series include the Spartan<br />

Sprint, the Super Spartan, the Spartan Beast, and the Ultra<br />

Beast. Spartan Race also has a military series, hosted on<br />

military bases.<br />

Obstacles<br />

Spartan Sprint (3+ miles of obstacle racing, 20+ obstacles),<br />

the Spartan Super (8+ miles, 25+ obstacles), the Spartan<br />

Beast (13+ miles, 30+ obstacles), and the Ultra Beast<br />

(26+ miles, 60+ obstacles – one of two marathon obstacle<br />

courses along with Mudderthon). The obstacles themselves<br />

also vary from race to race. Frequently presented obstacles<br />

can include a fire jump, climbing under barbed wire, wall<br />

climbing, mud crawling,the “over-under-through” spear<br />

throw, rope climb,heavy object carries, “Herculean Hoist”,<br />

“Tyrolean Traverse”, monkey bars, Traversal Wall, Hobie<br />

Hop, Slippery Wall, a zig-zag log jump, steep mud climbs,<br />

tractor pulls, underwater submerging below walls, Atlas<br />

carries, tire flips, stump balances, rope swing, and the now<br />

discontinued Gladiator Arena.<br />

Susan trained every day multiple times a day to train for<br />

this event. Her favorite pictured is her log runs down to<br />

China Bar and back up. In less than six months Susan got<br />

in shape to compete in the Spartan Lake Tahoe and did<br />

quite well. If you are in need of motivation follow her on<br />

facebook for her Monday Motivations.


MY FIRST (AND LAST) CROSS COUNTRY RACE<br />

This past weekend my friend who<br />

let’s just say we need our blog “Stuff<br />

Jeni talks Kim into doing,” Kim and I,<br />

did a mountain biking race at Folsom<br />

Lake. The races are a well-known<br />

series put on by TBF Racing that takes<br />

place throughout the year. Now I am<br />

an Enduro Racer and shuttle lover.<br />

This means I can climb but it is never<br />

timed, or I ride in a vehicle to get to<br />

the top of the fun downhill. Well<br />

back in October, I decided I should<br />

at least do one cross country type<br />

of mountain biking race to help my<br />

Enduro training. That is when I made<br />

Kim sign up as well. Because why suffer<br />

alone? Well, fast forward through the<br />

holidays and Lasik Surgery. Of course, I<br />

have complications which lead to this<br />

Christmas cookie not setting one foot<br />

on a bike. I tried to get a refund, but<br />

it wasn’t worth it with the transfer fee.<br />

Kim and I went for a long grueling ride<br />

the day before the race both wanting<br />

the other one to say, “Hey, how about<br />

we NOT embarrass ourselves tomorrow<br />

and sleep in?” Neither one of us did so<br />

there we were putting our nameplates<br />

on our big bikes in a sea of sleek, light<br />

bikes and spandex the next morning.<br />

The term big bike means we have<br />

more suspension so more bounce and<br />

beefy tires. Nothing light or effortless<br />

going on. Also, we wear flat shoes. This<br />

means we do not clip into our pedals.<br />

Now if you are a cyclist clips versus<br />

flats is right up there with the gun<br />

war. There are very strong opinions<br />

regarding racing in clips due to the<br />

belief it can make a rider pedal stronger<br />

and faster. Well, a pro Downhill racer<br />

blew that theory out of the water when<br />

he won the Enduro World Series in flat<br />

pedals last year.<br />

I can barely coordinate an aerobics<br />

move in the gym, there is no way I am<br />

securing my feet to a pedal, and the<br />

only way out is to think fast enough to<br />

unsecure it when you need it. I like my<br />

face, thank you very much.<br />

Anyway, at the starting line, Kim and I<br />

sheepishly hung out in the back. While<br />

we were waiting a woman recognized<br />

me from MTB Experience. She found<br />

out I was in her age group and I am<br />

pretty sure I saw a light flick on. Like<br />

she was taking me down. I quickly told<br />

her, “This is all you today. We don’t<br />

know what we are doing out in here.”<br />

We started, and she took off.<br />

I was warned it was a bit of a cluster<br />

at the beginning. It reminded me of<br />

2 triathlons I did were you are in a<br />

human blender of people swimming.<br />

Hence giving up triathlons because<br />

life’s too short for that kind of panic.<br />

As soon as we hit the first hill, I passed<br />

three girls. I was pretty shocked by<br />

this but kept on trekking. Then I<br />

caught quite a few people in the first<br />

rocky section. They were trying to go<br />

around. Well uphill be damned, but I<br />

got the downhill stuff. I took the inside<br />

line and zoomed right past about four<br />

people. One was the woman from the<br />

starting line. She yelled out, “I knew<br />

you would catch me on the downhill!”<br />

I laughed and assured her she would<br />

catch me on the uphill.<br />

The rest of the race was spent trying<br />

to navigate the bottlenecking on any<br />

technical section, all the kid carnage,<br />

and passing. I am not aggressive on<br />

the trail, but I got someone on my tail<br />

which really wants to beat me, so I<br />

had to pass. I tried being nice, “Hey.<br />

Hi. Um on your left?” “Oh okay never<br />

mind, how about on your right?” “Oh<br />

thank you so much! Have a great race!”<br />

The kids clipping pedals on rocks and<br />

being clipped in was hard to see. Soooo<br />

many crashes. It seemed everyone was<br />

okay, but there was going to be some<br />

serious bruising.<br />

I came through and Ellen, the chaser,<br />

came not long after me. We had a great<br />

time letting each other know we used<br />

one another to have a great race. She is<br />

a powerhouse and I admire all the long<br />

distance cycling she does. Poor Kim<br />

had to help a girl who crashed pretty<br />

badly. Then she dropped her chain so<br />

had to spend time getting it unstuck.<br />

She still pulled off 1st in her age group!<br />

It was only her but who cares- SHE<br />

SHOWED UP AND FINISHED!<br />

Later when I checked the results, I<br />

realized I was the first female finisher.<br />

For some reason that meant more than<br />

just winning my age group. It meant<br />

this old mom passed all the fit girls<br />

and women out there from the back<br />

all the way to the front. This goes to<br />

show; it’s not always about fitness- I am<br />

very out of shape- it is about knowing<br />

how to ride your bike. I can navigate<br />

my bike and tougher terrain very well.<br />

It makes me happy that I partnered<br />

with Paige Ramsey to lead all our<br />

skill-building clinics, as this is truly<br />

the most important part of bringing<br />

the mountain biking experience to<br />

women. It makes a difference.<br />

Flat pedals and cushy bikes for the win!<br />

Welcome to the American River<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> State Recreation Area*, an<br />

extraordinary recreational, historical and<br />

scenic gem, is located in the Sierra Nevada<br />

Foothills along 48 miles of the North and<br />

Middle Forks of the American River<br />

stretching from <strong>Auburn</strong> to Colfax and<br />

Foresthill. The <strong>Auburn</strong> SRA provides high<br />

quality open space, wildlife habitat and<br />

diverse recreational opportunities deep in<br />

California’s legendary Gold Country. The<br />

American River’s rich cultural tapestry<br />

includes influences from the Maidu<br />

Nisenan Indians, Spanish settlers and Gold<br />

Rush miners. The river was named Rio de<br />

los Americanos by the Spanish. Today, the<br />

pristine river and canyon trails offer<br />

visitors a variety of recreational activities<br />

to responsibly enjoy. Major recreational<br />

uses include hiking, mountain biking,<br />

horseback riding, whitewater boating,<br />

fishing, swimming, gold panning,<br />

picnicking, and much more.<br />

Native American<br />

River History<br />

A RE A M A P<br />

The <strong>Auburn</strong> State Recreation Area Map is a collaborative effort<br />

between PARC and the community of American River experts and<br />

dedicated volunteers who are stewards of the <strong>Auburn</strong> SRA.<br />

The acorn grinding rocks in the<br />

Confluence area are visible reminders<br />

of the many Maidu Nisenan Indian village sites<br />

that flourished along the American River and the<br />

canyon rim. The Maidu Nisenan fished for<br />

salmon, hunted game, and gathered acorns. Both<br />

edible and medicinal plants were collected as well.<br />

Their rich seasonal calendar marked time with<br />

“Big Time” dance ceremonies in the village<br />

round house called the “k’um”. The Maidu<br />

Interpretive Center, located in<br />

Roseville (916-774-5934), provides<br />

programs and exhibits that<br />

illustrate the connection between<br />

the people, their culture, and the<br />

natural world.<br />

Gold Rush River History<br />

In 1848 the discovery of gold by James<br />

Marshall at Sutter’s Mill on the<br />

South Fork in Coloma, spread a<br />

Gold Rush to the North and Middle<br />

Forks. The “world rushed in” to pan<br />

and dig the precious metal from the<br />

river and canyons. Both the North and<br />

Middle Forks were intensively mined,<br />

and sizeable towns and camps grew up within the<br />

canyons and along the rivers to support the<br />

mining operations. Today, the supply roads and<br />

trails the miners used are the nucleus of the<br />

recreational trail system in the <strong>Auburn</strong> State<br />

Recreation Area. The Gold Rush Mining<br />

Museum is located in the historic <strong>Auburn</strong> Depot,<br />

(see Local Museums) and offers a glimpse into<br />

Placer County’s Gold Rush history.<br />

Mountain Quarries<br />

Railroad Bridge<br />

The Mountain Quarries Railroad Bridge, also<br />

known locally as “No Hands Bridge,” is the most<br />

recognizable historical monument in the Confluence<br />

area. The Pacific Portland Cement Company<br />

completed the 170 foot long, triple-arch span<br />

concrete bridge in 1912. At that time it was the<br />

longest concrete arch railroad bridge in the world.<br />

The bridge and connecting rail line were built to<br />

haul limestone from the Portland Cement Quarry,<br />

located a mile up river on the Middle Fork, to the<br />

Southern Pacific main line in <strong>Auburn</strong>. In 2004<br />

the Mountain Quarries Railroad Bridge was<br />

added to the National Register of Historic Places.<br />

In 2014, the bridge was designated<br />

California Historic Landmark #1051.<br />

LOCAL ARTIST WITH BIG DREAMS<br />

Back from college this local artist is quickly making a name for herself<br />

ocal artist Ali Futrell graduated from the San<br />

Fransico Art Institute last May and is quickly<br />

making headway in <strong>Auburn</strong>. Her classes fill up<br />

quickly, and her clients love her.<br />

“I love to teach and do at least one class every month from<br />

sign painting to Rock Mandella,” says Ali<br />

Ali has also taken on some commission work. I got the<br />

chance to meet up with her in her studio space and was<br />

stunned by the use of color and creativity of the paintings.<br />

She first styles a photo shoot then works off that picture for a<br />

much larger, colorful and in-depth piece.<br />

When asked what she hopes for in the foreseeable future she<br />

talked about a space for artists to gather and create.<br />

“Wharehouse style welcoming artist doing workshops,<br />

events, meetings, and studio space,” says Ali<br />

Whether you are into art or not when you meet Ali there is<br />

nothing but gratitude. She genuinely feels lucky to be doing<br />

what she loves.<br />

“I think this comes from my Art teacher in high school. I<br />

would not have gotten into the Art Institute without his<br />

help.” Explains Ali<br />

If you are looking for a local artist, I think you will love<br />

Ali’s work. She can be found online via her Instagram pages<br />

alifutrell.art or she has a booth at most of the festivals in the<br />

surrounding area.

MEET MARIE AN AWARD-WINNING PHOTOGRAPHER<br />

Unique portrait photographer born and raised in <strong>Auburn</strong><br />

eeting that person, you have looked up to for<br />

so long has been truly inspiring for me. This<br />

happened twice within a year. Joe Dondelinger,<br />

the image on my first cover, and now the immensely talented<br />

Marie Clark of Permanent Glimpse Photography.<br />

I have been following her for years on Instagram, and her<br />

portrait photography is breathtaking. Traditional schooling<br />

has not tainted her eye, everything she knows is self-taught.<br />

“When I go into a shoot with a client my goal is to capture<br />

their true-self.” Says Clark<br />

When asked how she decided to do this for a living she<br />

reflected back to her senior year in high school.<br />

“I took my first class on film processing in 1999, the teacher<br />

Kim Brown Morgan awarded me the photography student of<br />

the year that year. I remember having a reflective moment<br />

in the square[at Placer High School] that I was going to be a<br />

photographer,” says Clark<br />

Marie is fantastic at styling a shot. Editorials, or planned<br />

shoots with models, makeup, and styled clothes are her form<br />

of art. These happen to be some of my favorite photos from<br />

Marie. The level of detail and the creativity is stunning, like<br />

using colored smoke and confetti to name just a few.<br />

“Having been trained in film photography, I was completely<br />

uninterested in Digital photography and assumed I would<br />

never need or use one ever in my life. Until, Jason Lee of Lee<br />

photo [a dear friend and wonderful mentor] entered me in<br />

a raffle without my knowing it, my name was drawn for the<br />

grand prize... a digital camera. Never taking a digital photo<br />

class or ever formally learning photoshop or how to handle<br />

digital files I plugged away at years of trial and error and selfencouraging.”<br />

Explains Clark<br />

I feel blessed to have met Marie. She continues to inspire me<br />

to learn something new and try a new technique. Although<br />

portrait photography is not my strength, her creativity is<br />

helping me look at the photos I take differently and to try<br />

something different. Thank you, Marie.

PIECING IT TOGETHER SINCE 1978<br />

Monroe transmission has been helping their customers for over 40 years<br />

onroe Transmission has been a staple in the<br />

greater <strong>Auburn</strong> Area for over 40 years. The<br />

original business started in 1966 but moved<br />

to <strong>Auburn</strong> in 1976 and then to Newcastle in their current<br />

location in 1995. If that is not enough, they also have<br />

another location in Yuba City that opened in 2000.<br />

Walking through the shop, you quickly understand that<br />

there is a level of quality and craftsmanship that goes into<br />

every job.<br />

“Since we have been here so long it’s amazing that we are<br />

now servicing customers grand children’s’ cars,” explains<br />

Barbara Monroe<br />

This is a true family business. Although Bud is retired now,<br />

his sons Don and Dwayne took over the family business. Don<br />

runs the Yuba City shop, and Dwayne with wife Barbara run<br />

the Newcastle shop.<br />

“What makes this special is that we grew up here. Don and<br />

Dwayne graduated Placer High, and I graduated from Forest<br />

Lake,” says Barbara<br />

If that all is not enough, it is quite impressive how long some<br />

of their employees have been working for them. Several have<br />

been with the same company for 31 years. Rich has been a<br />

service writer for Monroe Transmission going on 22 years.<br />

Yuba city, open for just 18 years, has several employees that<br />

have been employed for over 15 years each.<br />

Monroe Transmission does a ton of work for local general<br />

repair shops in the surrounding area as well. If you are in<br />

need of some work done to your transmission look no further.<br />

You will not find a more honest, hardworking and talented<br />

group of people to care for your car.

“This is a great shop! I had Corey and his team at Smitty’s do some preservation work on my<br />

original paint 63 single cab. The quality of work done is beyond any of my expectations. It<br />

had a lot of rust on the rockers, treasure chest floors, outriggers, jack points, battery tray, and<br />

some rear corner spots. The metal was repaired/replaced and blended into the original paint.<br />

Many thanks Smitty’s.” Zach<br />
