Don’t think it affects you? Guess again. 2 • Placer Sentinel • Friday, Sept. 26, 2008 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. Photo by John McCreadie. FEATURE 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.

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. ▲ • Try patronizing several of your favorite restaurants instead of going to the family favorite on each dining excursion. 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 on in the current economic environment,” says Mike Frampton, owner of The Melting Pot restaurants in Sacramento ‘Supersized’ Fee Hike and Rocklin. “We’re being The latest hit to restaurant squeezed on all sides. Some will business owners came from be squeezed out.” Placer County officials earlier For now, the restaurant this year when the County Board remained stable. Not any more. “Flour has more than doubled in price in the last six months,” says Reese Browning, co-owner of Old Town Pizza with locations in Auburn and Lincoln. Rising food costs mean higher meal prices, which often brings the negative effect of herding customers out the front door. All of the restaurant owners interviewed for this stor y report raising menu prices—albeit reluctantly—in the last year. Many are reviewing the pr ices 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 tourists moving about on Placer County highways. “I believe the number of tourists is down,” says Browning. “But it looks like local business is up.” PLACER BLOG Latest Auburn Car Dealership Folds 4 • Placer Sentinel • Friday, Sept. 26, 2008 Maita Ford Driven Out of Business by Poor Economy, a Struggling Automaker, and Customers Seeking Smaller Vehicles On Sept. 1, the Volkswagon of Auburn dealership dissolved its manufacturer dealership agreement after being sold and quietly morphed into a service center and parts retailer for Volkswagon By John McCreadie and Audi vehicles.

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 SAVE A TREE 8 • Placer Sentinel • Friday, Sept. 26, 2008 Subscribe Free Online at PlacerSentinel.com BE THE NEXT HERB CAEN WANTED: Smart and prolific volunteer writers for Auburn’s best community newspaper WE SAY Yolo County Superior Court for trial, so no final decision has been made.

The state appellate court cited federal law, which says that an illegal immigrant cannot receive a benefit unless the same benefit is extended to all U.S. citizens without regard to Califor nia residency. AB 540 of 2001 conflicts with that federal law. As laws like AB 540 are considered throughout the country, this ruling could have national implications in stopping other states from enacting laws that give taxpayer-subsidized benefits to illegal aliens over American citizens.

Illegal aliens have become merely “undocumented.” Some candidates for federal and state office want to force hard-working citizens and taxpayers to subsidize the cost of health insurance for illegal aliens in addition to the free public education that we already provide. Requiring that school children in America learn English they say is demeaning to other cultures. Ensuring that our precious right to vote – and thereby change the direction of government policy – is reserved for American citizens is deemed racist. Are we becoming less a country and more like a cafeteria in which anybody from around the world can simply line up and grab some goodies? California lawmakers have gone down the dreadful path of eroding the meaning of American citizenship for quite a while now, but the debate has been rejoined by an unlikely source.

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 recorded message. Flu shots cost between $10 - $20 based on income. There is no charge to MediCare members with Part B who can show their MediCare cards and who are not enrolled in an HMO plan. NEED MORE BUSINESS?

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 [email protected] 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.

(PG-13) PlacerSentinel.com Blog Calendar Continued from page 5 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.

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.
