Putt, Putt, Putt And The Reporter Was Printed / Rico, John [872] [RICO-1981-872]
Frequently people ask me if I find it frustrating in my endeavors to offer this column every week, which I have been doing for several decades. Frankly, at times it does bring me to the brink of total blankness in my attempts to go into a subject which can be of interest to local readers.

Reporter's Writers Now Have Added Chores / Rico, John [896] [RICO-1981-896]
THE COMPUTER AGE IS NOT FOR ME - When I started to set type back in 1924, and doing my small bit to help produce the Vacaville Reporter, little thought did I give to that day in 1981 when Publisher Richard Rico would unwrap a new typesetting system which is not in my bag of endeavors.

1980 - A Year of Demoralizing Frustration / Rico, John [905] [RICO-1981-905]
1980 - A YEAR TO FORGET - In this year of 1980, ringing out the old and ushering in the new simply does not have the gusto of years gone by. There seems to be a definite malaise disturbing too many people.

Finding a Use for Two New Words / Rico, John [898] [RICO-1981-898]
REWRITING THE DICTIONARY - In searching through the many dictionaries we have in the Reporter editorial department, I was a bit disturbed when the words "screwee" and "screwor" were not listed. Perhaps those new words can be found in a book of slang. I went to the trouble of purchasing S. I [...]

Rain in Our Pipes, and in a Bottle of Bud / Rico, John [929] [RICO-1979-929]
A SUBJECT CLOSER TO HOME - Now that President Jimmy Carter has solved the Israel- Egypt controversy, at least for the time being, it may be enlightening to put into print a subject which should be of concern to every Vacaville resident. Let's review our rainfall situation.

Old Time News Writing / Wichels, Ernest [775] [WICHELS-1963-775]
Like women's fashions, automobile bodies and hair-dos, the style of reporting news also changes with the years. In our research the past few weeks, poring over the century-old editions of our Vallejo newspapers, we have gleaned some amusing stories. The most interesting aspect is that the city editor, in the olden days, always editorialized in his reporting. Today no city desk would dare to do so.

Solano County offers many ways to see past / Delaplane, Kristin [387] [ECHOS-1998-387]
But last week's list told only half the story. History centers can also be found in and around the cities of Rio Vista, Benicia and Vallejo. Like their counterparts in the central and northern Solano County, these centers also rely on volunteers to fulfill their missions.

Suisun newspapers face off over charges / Delaplane, Kristin [314] [ECHOS-1996-314]
In 1863, at least two newspapers were being published in Solano County, both located in Suisun City. The Solano County Herald, which debuted back in 1855, billed itself as "the county's official paper." Ownership had changed over the years. In 1863, the man in charge was O.B. Powers [...]
