BEST OVERNIGHT SUMMER CAMP In its 11th year, Camp Soulajoule at Walker Creek Ranch continues to offer an amazing ďŹ ve-day experience for 8- to 12-year-old campers. Set amid 1,700-plus acres of riparian habitat and beautiful bay laurels (soulajoule is the Miwok name for the tree), the camp is an outgrowth of Walker Creek Ranchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-running outdoor education program for Marin students. Fresh food comes from Walker Creekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organic garden as well as local farmers marketsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;deliciously prepared,
the fare is a far cry from the stuff so many of us were served at camp decades ago. Campers participate in a number of activitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;canoeing, swimming, music, community gatherings, etc., all under the direction of the professional naturalist staffâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that are so enjoyable, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how much theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a unique experience, in our own â&#x20AC;&#x153;backyard.â&#x20AC;? As camp director Claudia Lyons says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hiking to the top of Walker Peak, with views of Tomales Bay and the PaciďŹ c Ocean, is life-changingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for all ages.â&#x20AC;? ---------------------------------------------Camp Soulajoule

BEST PET GROOMER
Somebody said to me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the Beatles were anti-materialistic.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge myth. John and I literally used to sit down and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s write a swimming pool.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Paul
Twin sisters Janine Schengel and Melinda Bowser (yes, real name) are a little surprised that their shop, Doggie Styles, has once again been voted Best Pet Groomer in Marin because â&#x20AC;&#x153;we never ask people to vote for us and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote for ourselves,â&#x20AC;? Schengel says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really blown away by it.â&#x20AC;? Her sister adds: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so humbled that people take the time to do it.â&#x20AC;? On the other hand, the sisters know all too well how passionate Marinites are about their pets, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve built their reputation by taking exceptional care of all those pups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love that people here love their dogs so much,â&#x20AC;? Schengel says. Her favorite Beatles song is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let It Be,â&#x20AC;? but of course those are not words of wisdom that work with many dog breeds whose coats need regular professional attention to stay
