MAKING BREAD
Michelle Gallon has fond memories of her grandmother. There were the days as a young girl in Kenosha, Wis. – Gallon grew up in nearby Racine – that she spent learning how to bake in the matriarch's kitchen out of old cans because she couldn't afford to go out and buy actual pans. And then there were the days, recently, as the owner of Michelle's Golden Brown Breads when she got to show her grandmother ...

Sticking to hockey pays off for Daniel Costa
RIPON- Ask Daniel Costa about the first time he was exposed to the game of hockey. Go on – ask him. His face slowly gets overtaken by a wry smile and he begins to wax poetic about the dingy rink that he used to haunt as a kid in Modesto. It is the place that planted the seed for what would eventually become a lifelong obsession. It isn't there anymore. And as the owner of ...
She’s prepared family for strife, major disasters
Carolyn Nicolaysen doesn't think that society is going to crumble tomorrow. But she'll be ready if it does. The Oakdale-based emergency preparedness expert has three months of food that she and her family eat on a regular basis stored in case the unthinkable occurs. She also has another year of simple foods – items like rice, beans and powdered milk – ready just in case. And while she doesn't know what or when will cause ...
Light rain greets arrival of spring in Manteca/Lathrop
It's officially the first day of spring. The Vernal Equinox marks the end of the Northern San Joaquin Valley's version of the long, cold and dark winter. And that's music to the ears of Brett Phillips. Phillips – who expected the spring weather that has rolled in and hovered over the Northern San Joaquin Valley to break a week ago – doesn't mind that rain and snow weren't a big part of the late winter ...

Assistant librarian: Books & eBooks go together like stairs & elevators
Rena Wiriaatmadja knows books. She knows authors. She knows genres. She knows themes, elements of style, characters and symbols.

As a Library Assistant II assigned to Manteca, Wiriaatmadja has been taking ...
Sherriff warning Ripon seniors of grandkid scam
Grandparents' spoiling their grandchildren is a time-honored tradition. But according to the San Joaquin County Sherriff's Department, scammers are now attempting to tap into that and bilk unsuspecting seniors out of their money without them ever thinking that they've been had. Instead of an elaborate hoax or an attempt to steal important personal information, San Joaquin County Sherriff Public Information Officer Les Garcia said that the scam works through a simple phone ...
A REAL YO-YO CHAMP
Julian Semenza is an artist. He doesn't spend hours in front of an easel with pastels or oil paints, and it isn't a sketch book that takes up most of his time. But if you hand Semenza a yo-yo – yes, a yo-yo – the Sierra High School junior is absolutely mesmerizing with a quiver of tricks that run the gamut from wild flipping loops to intricate string manipulation that seems downright impossible. Last weekend ...
HE’S THE CHAMP
Sean Sangalang walked into Culver City last weekend with a chip on his shoulder. Or, more appropriately, his rippled, fibrous traps. It had been three years since he last competed in a bodybuilding competition in the Los Angeles alcove, and everything that happened on that day went badly. It was his worst finish since he started lifting competitively seven years ago, and the experience brought the strained relationship with his then-coach to a head. So ...
Are annexations weakening rural fire protection?
Martin Harris isn't necessarily against annexation and growth.

KIDS IN A BOX
If Emmanuel Torres ended up on the street tomorrow, he wouldn't fare so well.
