COLDWELL BANKER RESIDENTIAL BROKERAGE

Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage was voted best real estate company in Folsom by readers in the Telegraph’s 2017 Best of the Best contest.

The real estate company started their journey in 1906 with the goal of offering honesty, knowledge and competent real estate services, said Heather Tocatlian, marketing coordinator.

“Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage has a history of being the first in the industry,” she said. “Coldwell Banker’s longevity is a result of its commitment to trustworthiness, professionalism and exceptional customer service.”

For Coldwell Banker, it isn’t about winning, it’s about their clients and the community, Tocatlian said.

“We are honored to receive this award and congratulate all the agents that make this office the best,” she said.

Tocatlian personally chose the real estate industry because she is a people person. She is willing to put the time, effort and energy into constantly getting better and more knowledgeable in her field, she said.

“It may not always be easy, but I can’t think of any-

FIVESTAR LANDSCAPE DESIGN TELEGRAPH STAFF

FiveSTAR Landscape was voted 2017’s best landscape design service in Folsom in the Telegraph’s annual Best of the Best contest.

The local landscaping business has been in the industry for more than 35 years and has been successful in their field of expertise.

“From our first conversation with our clients, we keep our motto in mind and strive to create a compliment to our clients’ homes as well as their lifestyle with the landscaping of their home,” said Owner Shamarie Tong.

Tong said she tells each client at the completion of their project, “A referral is our highest compliment!” Tong is proud that so many of the Telegraph’s readers have chosen them as the best landscape design service in the area, she said.

“The best thing about my job is getting to help a client increase the value of their home as well as make their landscape a relaxing and fun place to be,” Tong said. "It’s great to see how excited our clients are when we introduce a new idea through design and then bring it to life.”

THANK YOU! CARTER’S CARPET RESTORATION TELEGRAPH STAFF

Carter’s Carpet Restoration, a family run business based in El Dorado Hills, won the Telegraph’s 2017 Best of the Best award for best carpet cleaning in Folsom.

With 24 years of service in the industry behind them, owner Dean Carter said that his company’s commitment to quality and excellent customer service is what helps them excel – something reflected in the award.

“I think it’s fantastic,” Carter said. “I think it just shows that we’re doing what we should do. We’re giving the customers the best value, giving them the best carpet cleaning there is and obviously giving them excellent customer service as well.”

Customer service is the bottom line for Carter’s Carpet Restoration. This, paired with a unique cleaning technique that allows for faster carpet drying times, is a winning combination in Carter’s book.

“That’s where it starts and end,” he said. “We do steam cleaning, but it’s a super deep cleaning and an incredibly

Carter said that his company utilizes the most powerful cleaning machines on the market, using rotary-extractor technology, which adds extra pressure to the carpet.

“It’s a complete washing of the fiber,” Carter said. “We follow up with a call anywhere from a couple to 10 days afterwards to make sure the customers are still happy.”

Customer service and the human element to the job are the things that keep Carter’s passion alive for his business.

“I enjoy [working] with people,” Carter said. “I enjoy being in multiple homes and [working] with multiple different personalities and people — not staying in one place all day — and just being able to meet new and interesting people everyday. That’s the biggest draw.”

WINNER BEST: THAI RESTAURANT

TELEGRAPH STAFF

THAI PARADISE

Thai Paradise took top honors for another year in a row for best Thai restaurant in Folsom during the Telegraph’s 2017 Best of the Best contest.

Opened in May 2008, owners Alex and Jarunee Fleming started their dream.

“My wife is an award-winning Thai chef and she always wanted to have her own restaurant,” Alex Fleming said.

After a year of searching for the perfect location, they stumbled upon their current place at 2770 E Bidwell St. #100 in Folsom.

“Our recipes are straight from the Royal Thai Palace, with daily lunch and dinner specials,” Alex said. “We offer authentic curries, rice dishes, noodle soups and noodle stir fry bowls. Catering is our specialty, and we are constantly updating our menu to feature fresh, new and delicious Thai dishes.”

Alex said what sets his restaurant apart is ‘simply the best food.’

“Everyone here is friendly,” he said. “I want custom-

ers to come in and be comfortable. I want them THAI PARADISE 2770 E Bidwell St., to experience a Thai Suite 100 experience through our 916-984-8988 food and employees.”

Fleming said a lot of his customers have gone to Thailand and when they come in they say they prefer the dishes at Thai Paradise more.

The Thai restaurant has their second location in Thailand and are searching for their third location, but they haven’t found it yet, Fleming said.

“Please come and try our restaurant,” he said. We invite everyone to experience a little bit of Thailand and to really have an enjoyable experience.”

The local business has been voted the best Thai restaurant every year since they opened.

“We are glad to have the award,” Fleming said. “Making my customers happy is the best thing about this job. If you make people happy they will come back.”

Suite 110 The local business was founded in 1986 by 916-358-8800 Michael and Jenee Compagnone in El Dorado Hills, but in 2013, the company was purchased by Randy Mintz and Raul Borodi. The duo moved the location of the store to Folsom and only a year later, opened their Granite Bay location at 7095 Douglass Blvd.

“Both Raul and I have backgrounds in construction and design, and felt the community needed a local flooring and remodeler committed to quality and service in Folsom and El Dorado Hills,” said Borodi. “Our mission is to provide our customers with first-class service and products at value prices.”

Borodi said the business is more versatile than most retailers, designers and contractors.

“We have retail stores to select products, interior designers to help with color and selections, project managers to work daily on the progress of construction, and craftsmen that are employed by our company to insure the quality and speed of job completion,” he said.

Borodi said they are thrilled about being chosen by their community and clients.

Best of the Best 2017 | FOLSOM | A publication of The Folsom Telegraph

Telegraph readers voted Sutter Club as best local dive bar in Folsom in the 2017 Best of the Best contest and I do not disagree.

I am a regular at Sutter Club and I love it! In the last year, they have updated their tap beer selection to craft beer and I never have a problem choosing a good one.

Sutter Club is a great place to start a night out with friends because it is iconic in Folsom. Everyone knows about it and knows where it is. Prices are good and so are the drinks. It is just a fun place to hangout.

Sutter Club is also a great place to end that night out because they are one of the only places in Folsom that are open the latest.

One of my favorite qualities of Sutter Club is the pool table. Not many places in Folsom have a pool table and on Wednesdays, it is free! Periodically, I will go with my boyfriend and we will play game after game for hours.

SHAPEMASTERS TELEGRAPH STAFF

Shapemasters, one of the newest businesses opened this year, has had nothing but success. It shows as they were voted best weight loss business in Folsom in the Telegraph’s 2017 Best of the Best contest.

Founder Vince Rose said that once he realized he discovered something revolutionary, he knew he had to share.

“This technology was not only going to address weight issues, but save many lives in the process,” he said. “I felt I would be doing the world a disservice by not taking this technology public.”

Years ago, Rose developed a technology that successfully eliminated the communication between cells and organisms on the cellular level.

“I was able to deactivate deadly pathogenic microorganisms,” he said. “It uses light and sounds to disrupt cellular communication between living organisms. When organisms can’t talk, they die because they cannot multiply or replicate.”

This technology has been used in military applications by the U.S. Government in germ warfare control wherever

“Everything in an operating room has to be sterilized before the next patient. If you have an expensive piece of electronic equipment that needs to be cleaned, how do you do so without destroying it?”

Later, Rose started looking for corrective frequencies that could assist his wife with the arthritis in her knees.

“I haven’t been able to find the frequencies to alleviate her problem and relieve her pain, but I have been SHAPEMASTERS successful in finding the frequency combinations that 101 Parkshore Drive, Suite 125 allow cellular restoration within the body for unwanted 916-932-7077 they manufacture fat cells,” he said. store-produced And just like that, Rose invented the first permanent biological weapons, fat loss system – Shapemasters.

WINNER BEST: GOURMET/SPECIALTY SHOP

JULIAN’S PATISSERIE & CAFÉ TELEGRAPH STAFF

The recently opened Julian’s Patisserie and Café is starting out strong in the Folsom community taking home the top award for best gourmet/specialty shop in Folsom in the Telegraph’s 2017 Best of the Best contest.

The local business opened only in December last year and has been the talk of the town since.

“We have always wanted to create our own shop and be able to move back to Folsom with our family,” Owner Julian Perrigo-Jimenez said about him and his wife Ashley. “However, finding work for a pastry chef in the area is tough. We decided the only way to make it work and be home again was to do it ourselves. We sold our home and belongings to make this dream a reality.”

Perrigo-Jimenez said he personally chose the food industry because pastries and food have been a passion of his since he was a young child.

“Nothing seems to bring people together and create joy as much as food does. As a pastry chef, I have been able to be a part of so many special occasions, and to see

nothing but smiles makes this experience worth it,” he said. “I love cooking and I love the creativity that comes with food.”

When creating his masterpieces, Perrigo-Jimenez uses the highest quality of ingredients and everything is handmade, he said.

“For our breakfast pastries, we use a special French butter that gives our croissants that rich butter flavor found in France!” he said. “I laminate and shape all breakfast pastries in house. They are fresh every morning and I think our customers really appreciate and acknowledge the quality of our product.”

Perrigo-Jimenez said he is honored to have won this award from the community.

“This has been such an amazing ride over the last five months, and to see the community give such great feedback really feels like a dream come true! We want to be here forever and raise our children in this community,” he said. “Thank you for this opportunity!”

WINNER BEST: HEATING & AIR

GILMORE HEATING, AIR & SOLAR In 1972, John moved on to manage and help build a new Southern California company, Certified GILMORE HEATING, Air and Heating, into one of the country’s largest AIR & SOLAR 4429 Missouri Flat Road service and replacement companies at that time.

530-344-4330 In 1973, he decided to open his own heating and air company in Glendale, which still operates today under its own management.

In 1979, John opened up the current location of Gilmore Heating, Air and Solar on Missouri Flat Road in Placerville.

While John is not the general manager anymore, he still maintains an active role behind the scenes.

Gilmore Heating, Air and Solar has now grown to more than 70 employees.

Darrin said it’s an honor to take the number one spot.

“Obviously it’s an unbelievable honor to get voted by your customers,” he said.

“There’s really nothing more gratifying than being recognized by those we serve.”

TELEGRAPH STAFF

Gilmore Heating, Air & Solar has been in El Dorado County since 1978. The family-run business took first in multiple categories in the Telegraph’s 2017 Best of the Best contest in Folsom and El Dorado Hills.

In Folsom, the local business took home the award for best heating and air.

Darrin Gilmore, general manager of the company, said what sets his business apart from others in the industry is their focus on their customers.

“My dad is very adamant about taking care of the clients,” he said. “You have to put yourself in the customers’ shoes. First and foremost, you take care of them and they will bless you with more customers and more referrals.”

Gilmore said at the end of the day, the clients’ needs come first.

“Our customer service is excellent. We’ve been extremely successful because of it,” he said.

John Gilmore started his career by designing heating and air conditioning systems for a large residential firm in Southern California, where he rose to the position of vice president of operations.

WINNER BEST: DAY TRIP

WINNER BEST: BANK

AMADOR COUNTY

BY RACHEL ZIRIN

WELLS FARGO TELEGRAPH STAFF

Amador County was voted by Telegraph readers as best day trip for people in Folsom in the 2017 Best of the Best contest.

When I think of Amador, I think of wine. Wine is my best friend.

Now that we have gotten that out of the way, let’s talk about location.

Amador County is about a 45 minute drive from the Folsom area which makes wine tasting that much better. Who wants to travel two hours to Napa for wine? Not me!

Location is only one of many reasons Amador is a great day trip.

Another reason is the quality and amount of wine that is up there.

There is an amazing winery on pretty much every corner and piece of land up there. They greatest thing about these wineries is you will get the chance to meet the winemaker and owners, and they are always happy to talk about their wine-making process.

In the past year-and-a-half, I have come to love Amador wines and the little shops that are nestled around.

I must include that the Amador Vintage Market has some of the best sun-dried tomato tortilla chips I have ever tasted in my life. This is my personal opinion and when anyone tries them, they will know I am not wrong!

All in all, Amador is one of my favorite places in the foothill region, and I am not surprised that hundreds of Telegraph readers believe so as well.

WINNER BEST: HOME-GROWN ATHLETE

BROWNING, ANDERSON VOTED TOP HOME-GROWN ATHLETES

BY MATT LONG

Winners of the best home-grown athlete of the Telegraph’s 2017 Best of the Best contest went to a current professional athlete and one that is on the path to be one some day.

Ryan Anderson helped lead Oak Ridge High School to a state basketball championship in 2005 and after graduating in 2006, Anderson received a scholarship to play basketball at Cal. After two years there, Anderson declared himself eligible for the NBA draft and was drafted by the New Jersey Nets with the 21st pick of the first round in 2008.

Anderson has since played three years with the Orlando Magic, four years with the New Orleans Pelicans and just finished his first season with the Houston Rockets.

In nine years in the NBA, the 6-10 forward has averaged 13 points and five rebounds per game.

Anderson’s counterpart in Folsom was Jake Browning, who is a 2015 graduate of Folsom High School.

Browning was a record-breaking quarterback at FHS,

where he led the Bulldogs to a state championship his senior year in 2014, completing 360-of-524 passes for 5,796 yards, 91 touchdowns and seven interceptions. His career numbers in 46 games over three seasons are 1,191 completions in 1,708 attempts for 16,781 yards, 229 TDs and 40 interceptions.

As a team, Browning led the Bulldogs to a 44-2 record in those three seasons, losing only twice to national power De La Salle in the Northern California title game.

Since then, Browning has continued his success at the University of Washington. As a freshman in 2015, Browning earned the starting job and completed 63 percent of his passes for 2,955 yards and 16 touchdowns against 10 interceptions, while leading Washington to a 7-5 record.

WINNER BEST: COACH; SPORTS TEAM

BULLDOGS, RICHARDSON WIN BEST SPORTS TEAM, COACH IN FOLSOM

BY MATT LONG

Folsom’s Best of the Best sports team and coach come from the same program.

Folsom High’s football team won the Best of the Best sports team, while the team’s coach, Kris Richardson, was voted Best of the Best coach.

“It’s pretty awesome to get that recognition,” the 48-year-old Richardson said. “I’ve been coaching 22 years and sometimes coaches can wear out their welcome, but I still have a great relationship with the kids and the parents. I’m humbled and proud to be a part of this program.

It’s not all about me either. I’ve got 20 coaches in the program.”

The Bulldogs have been one of the top programs in the Sacramento area for the last nine years, compiling a win-loss record over that time of 115-13. Folsom has won five section titles from 2010-2016 and the two years it didn’t win it still reached the championship game. The Bulldogs also won state titles in 2010 and 2014.

Over the last five seasons, Folsom has more wins (56) than any Division I program in the state. St. John Bosco has 54 wins, while De La Salle has 52 wins.

“I’m extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished,” said Richardson, who’s taught at Folsom High since 1996. “You think of all the other high schools in the state, so to have the most wins and be in the elite company of St. John Bosco and De La Salle is impressive.”

To Richardson, who’s been the head varsity coach since 2005, the key to success has been hard work by both he and his staff and of course the players.

“For me, I just show up and work every day,” Richardson said. “I want to be better today than I was yesterday. For the kids, it’s a grind in January and February when we get on them, but the kids have bought in and that’s been the key to our success.”

The Folsom High football team, the Bulldogs, received the most votes for best sports team in Folsom.

Folsom High football coach Kris Richardson was named best coach by the readers of the Telegraph.

WINNER BEST: PLACE TO PEOPLE WATCH

WAL-MART

BY RACHEL ZIRIN

Wal-Mart was voted best place to people watch in Folsom by Telegraph readers in the 2017 Best of the Best contest.

It is no surprise Wal-Mart took first place as it all originates with the website, PeopleOfWalmart.com.

While in Folsom, there aren’t too many interesting folks wandering around, but occasionally, you get lucky and get to have a good laugh.

Personally, I love Wal-Mart because who doesn’t love cheap stuff ? At this point in my life, Wal-Mart is great for snacks and nail polish.

At the Folsom location, there is a Subway inside and, I have to say, they make some good sandwiches – if that is what I am in the mood for that day.

The one thing about the Folsom Wal-Mart is there are little to no people dressed obnoxiously or have no teeth.

Maybe the reason I haven’t noticed is because I am one of them. Hm.
