introducing the people behind this issue of san Joaquin Lifestyles
Antoinette Tull Having the opportunity to write for San Joaquin Lifestyles is an opportunity long sought? I have been a fan of the magazine for a long time and with each publication wished for the chance to contribute to such a wonderful publication; one that puts forth so much of what our city and community are about! My degree in journalism and public relations are now being used to express the love I feel about where I live and the enduring qualities of the people with whom I am most fortunate to meet!
Michelle Machado Michelle Machado is a lifelong San Joaquin County resident and a University of the Pacific graduate. She was a stayat-home mom for 17 years before becoming a newspaper reporter and editor. Now a freelance writer, Machado is an avid reader of 19th- and early 20th-century literature. She also enjoys gardening, cooking and practicing yoga. “Remaining in the county where I grew up means I am deeply rooted here,” she said. “Its central location also provides opportunities for diverse experiences in the surrounding area.”
Joan Heffernan Stockton is home to me. I came here as a bride (from Manteca!); Michael and I raised our children here. When I explain why I love Stockton, it is always for the same reason. It’s the people. I could never replace the friends we have here. They are pure gold. Writing for Lifestyles is a treat. I love to write, and describing events or places I’ve visited gives me a chance to share the experience and relive the excitement.
Barbara Daly I love to travel, meet new people and explore the great outdoors. Fortunately I get to do all that while writing for Lifestyles magazine. I have to thank Carrie Sass, Lifestyles’ editor for that! She always has her ear to the ground for what’s happening. I’ve enjoyed writing about and exploring Manhattan Beach, New Orleans and Spain. I’ve met amazing people who have contributed to our community. Between these writing assignments and my video production company, Daly Video Services, (www.dalyvideoservices.com), I’m fortunate to share so many experiences with such awe-inspiring people.
Charlene Earley I love writing about a county that is so rich in culture, talent and beauty; it makes my job as a writer that much easier. I was a Stocktonian for almost six years, and have been writing for The Record for over 10 years. My favorite subjects to cover are people, places and things, of which my son says, “nouns, mom, nouns!”

tierra del sol is the latest VHB project. it is the first net-zero energy-efficient affordable home community in the Central Valley. the 22 homes being built in east stockton feature solar systems, energy-efficient appliances and efficient water and space heating. electric bills for one of these homes should average zero dollars. this is yet another aspect of Carol’s vision coming to fruition. “utilities are very expensive. By cutting these costs, families have the opportunity to save for education and other household needs,” says Carol. “We are also protecting the environment and doing our part for our children’s future.” it was Carol’s determination and vision that bolstered her success in the male-dominated world of developers. “i love taking an idea, a vision and seeing it happen,” says Carol. Carol’s visions aren’t limited to the drafting table. Her latest endeavor is called “Bounce Back to Home ownership.” the multi-year financial education program is designed to help those who’ve experienced foreclosure re-enter the housing market. Participants learn how to re-establish credit, create a budget and savings plan. Families begin by selecting a home, then working toward ownership.

Carol hopes the lessons learned from the Bounce Back program will be passed on to future generations with a realistic goal of achieving the dream of homeownership. “i love when i go into a home in one of my established communities and see report cards posted on the fridge. there’s such a sense of pride, of home and family.” VHB is helping shape the hearts and homes of many Central Valley residents. Carol’s vision of reinventing troubled neighborhoods into safe, healthy living environments is providing many families with a proud place to hang a report card. ❑
VHB has built and renovated 1,200 multi-family homes and more than 500 single-family homes in the Central Valley. Carol ornelas was one of 49 leaders selected to participate in the neighborWorks’ Achieving excellence in Community Development program in collaboration with Harvard university’s Kennedy school of Government.

The menu features standard pub fare: burgers, pizza, sandwiches, wings and ribs, and some surprises like the salmon burger, eggplant parmesan, and fresh crab cakes. As if that isn’t enough to close the deal, consider the brewmaster's collection of award-winning beers. He’s always got the classics on tap: his Luna Blanca Golden Ale, the Black Cat Stout, West Coast IPA, and Indian Red Ale. And chances are good he’s got a seasonal brew to delight any beer connoisseur. Is Dad a baseball fan? Of course he is. Sunday, June 19 happens to coincide with an interleague matchup between the A’s and Giants. It’s as if the Father's Day gods have planned it out perfectly. Your game plan? Find the spot at the bar with the best view and knock a few back with Dad while sharing an order of garlic fries. Best. Father’s Day. Ever. ❑

And for over six decades, summer in stockton means enjoying warm evenings and live music in the outdoors, with Concerts in the Park. this year’s program features 13 shows from acts with a range of music styles from traditional concert bands to classic rock. All concerts will be held in Victory Park at 6 pm on Wednesday evenings beginning June 1. Popular requests have called for an expansion of musical styles, and stockton-area musicians have answered the call. Returning favorites include the Valley Concert Band, a 30-piece ensemble performing classic marches, big band standards, and Broadway tunes. the swinging swingaires return with new vocalist tess Waters, and the Caribbean jazz-fusion group tropical nights will be back. Also returning is the always-popular Abba cover group Waterloo. Debuting at the Park this year are rockabilly act Ms. Lizzie and Her Cadillac Kings, Lodi country-western group Would Be Famous Band, and classic rockers summit, who will close out the season on August 24. Jukebox rock group RB/X, italian accordionist steve trucco, Dixie inc. (a Dixie band, of course), and the Art Bregante orchestra round out the program. there’s something for every taste and all ages, so bring a picnic basket, throw out a blanket, and enjoy a stockton summer tradition. ❑

co-owners purchased Vino Piazza, a converted 1940s Lockeford distillery that houses half a dozen
independently-owned-and-operated
wineries, including their own. since then, the business partners have hosted a series of concerts and other events at the piazza. A restaurant lease is close to being finalized. they envision making the 26-acre property of tall, rustic buildings; courtyards; and plazas a destination for more than just oenophiles. “We’d like to bring in a boutique and a spa or a salon,” said Collins, of Modesto. “We’d like to mix it up a little bit.”

“Mixing it up” seems to be what Collins and Fultcher are about: stone Garden is one of only eight African-American-owned or -operated wineries in the united states, according to a recent article in the Record (stockton). “We’re one of few,” Collins confirmed. even their partnership seems a bit unusual. Collins – an 18-year industry veteran – is a wine drinker and the wine maker. Fultcher – a stockton businessman and concert promoter – is a teetotaler and the deal maker. together, they produce and market wines – cabernet sauvignon, white merlot, chardonnay, shiraz and others – that sell for $5.99 to $7.99 per bottle. stone Garden reserve wines range between $12 and $16.

its wines are sold at 100-plus Albertson’s stores in southern California, and soon will be available in Costco and safeway stores. “We go after major chains and do wine in quantity for them,” Fultcher explained. overseas markets include China and the Philippines. For Collins, the venture is a dream come true. “i ultimately wanted to be in this situation,” he explained, “to have my own winery, to do what i love.” Fultcher and Collins seek to provide products that are affordable and accessible to both novice and experienced wine drinkers. “if you’re introduced to the wrong wine, a customer can be turned off forever,” said Collins, who worked

I
’m often asked to pair wines with food.
it’s one of my favorite things to do because it is an opportunity to get creative and think outside the box. And sometimes i get so outside the box i try to find another interesting complement to the meal. sometimes a cocktail is the perfect choice; sometimes a beer is the perfect choice. As an exercise, i picked a food and tried to pair a wine, a cocktail, and a beer. i love pairing drinks with spicy food, so i chose crispy, spicy thai calamari. the heat in the dish comes from a sweet and spicy thai chili sauce that can be enhanced or diffused by the right beverage.

away becomes a challenge. Placerville is an hour and a half away, an easy ride up Highway 50. those who visit tahoe’s south shore probably already know Placerville as a place to stop for a bite. We chose sweetie Pie’s, a rustic restaurant serving a hearty breakfast or lunch. outdoor tables front Main street with seating inside and on an equally rustic
“porch.” the portions are generous and the apple or raisin cinnamon bread satisfies the sweet tooth. Homemade fruit pies beckon to be taken home. Across the street is tortilla Flats for a Mexican food lunch or dinner. Main street is indeed Placerville’s commercial artery. An amazing number of antique stores line the narrow thoroughfare. original art is featured at a number of galleries, and boutiques offer casual wear. Amazingly, there’s a bridal shop with attractive dresses in the window, indicating Placerville has much to offer its citizens, as well as the tourist. there’s even a free stagecoach ride for the children. Driven by cowboy-attired drivers, the coach clops along one block. When it turns the corner, the ride back is at a gallop, giving the riders an unexpected

For the music lovers, the town offers Music in the Courtyard every other saturday, June to october from 2 to 5 pm. Placerville Art Walk occurs every third saturday from 5 to 8 pm. Don’t miss the Placerville Historical Museum, located downtown in a lovely brick building dating back to 1852. photo by uNique aeriography
the lady volunteers i met took me right in to explain the difference between panning for gold and stamp mining, which entailed pounding rock in a large apparatus that allowed the ore to be extracted from the crusted rock. upstairs in the museum are snowshoe thompson’s skis, just back from loan to the smithsonian Museum. in 1856 this norwegian immigrant heard of the difficulties in delivering mail to the Carson Valley when trails were impassable because of snow. He fashioned his own skis and made the 90-mile trip from Placerville to Genoa (now in nevada, then a part of the utah territory). the trip took three days up and 2 days back. He made twice-monthly trips and carried as much as 100-pound packs of mail, arriving on schedule despite formidable weather conditions.

these ladies also explained the origins of the town as a mining center known for its swift “justice.” According to lore, robberies were frequent. After one such crime in 1849, an impromptu citizens’ jury met to decide the fate of three accused. sounding a bit like a mob, the group decided on a guilty verdict, and a voice vote led to the sentence of “Hang ’em,” which they did on a great white oak in the center of town. thus Hangtown was named, and so remained until 1854, when it was renamed Placerville for the incorporation papers, and to gentrify the name for the growing population. today Placerville is still a hub of the Mother Lode, and

yundai Motor Co. has two children.
the first child, the Hyundai sonata, lives in an up-and-coming neighborhood with a lovely wife and two charming children, plays golf most saturdays and dreams of building a wine cellar. the other brother, the Kia optima, stores his power tools in his garage and occasionally visits his family in the adjoining home. He plays at least one extreme sport, watches mixed martial arts religiously and prefers a domestic draught beer to just about anything. the Hyundai sonata and the Kia optima share parentage and the same head-turning design, engineering and production platform – but these automotive fraternal twins differ in nearly every other way.

Kia has fought hard to erase its cheaply made, unreliable stigma. it is a few years the position the Hyundai brand found itself in the early 2000s, before the sonata and Genesis established its place as a serious contender. the sonata has steadily eroded into the market share of rival Honda Accord by offering more interior space and better fuel economy. Hyundai Motor Co. gambled and won by not offering a six-cylinder sonata in its most recent redesign; it created a lighter car with more interior space. Hyundai upped the ante in 2011 by offering a turbocharged four-cylinder model that produces an eye-bulging 278 horsepower. the Kia optima sX features the same engine and transmission as the sonata, but with a stiffer, teeth-rattling suspension that grips the road and laughs at adverse driving conditions. throw in an impressive 33 miles per gallon on the highway and 22 mpg in the city, and the optima has no other competitors. For roughly $30,000, the optima is the only fourcylinder, 278-horsepower, racecar-tuned, over-30-miles-pergallon car on the market. â?‘

rom the moment you walk up to the
massive building, a beautiful pond to your right with two deer crafted out of deer horns, and a camouflaged quad and old-fashioned truck to your left, you know you’re walking into something fun. “We are the number-one tourist destination for the san Joaquin family,” said Jerry Mullen, operations manager of the Bass Pro shops in Manteca since it opened in 2008. “it’s a lot of fun to work here; everyone has a passion for the outdoors.” once inside, you feel as though you’ve walked into a lodge, but with a two-story, life-like redwood tree, split in the middle for customers to walk through. A friendly greeter welcomes you inside the 120,000-square-foot building filled with museum-like (once alive) animals, wall murals and a 20,000-gallon aquarium filled with sturgeon, carp, channel catfish, bass and more.
