Current Seasonal Rainfall Is Disappointing / Rico, John [887] [RICO-1981-887]
LACK OF RAIN - ALWAYS A DRY SUBJECT - We are heading for the end of the present 1980-81 rainfall season, and with only the remainder of June in the 12-month period, there's every likelihood the total for the current season can be tabulated among the 11 in the past 80 years when precipitation has not gone over the current total of 15.12 inches.

A Bit Of This And That / Wichels, Ernest [858] [WICHELS-1964-858]
It rained this past week-considerably above November's 91-year average of about 1.80 inches. But earlier Vallejoans saw much more moisture than we've had. November of 1885 had 6.6 inches; November of 1926 a total of 6.2 inches. And 1875, 1892, 1913 and 1934 recorded 5-inch rainfalls in November.

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.

Never Before Was Drought a Vacaville Problem / Rico, John [940] [RICO-1978-940]
THE RAINS HAVE ARRIVED - After two exceptionally dry seasons, rains in substantial quantities have arrived in the Vacaville area. With storms reminiscent of those experienced here in our yesteryear, it is again gratifying to see water standing in open fields, creeks flowing with runoff from the hills and mountains around Vacaville, and storm drains in some sections of the city failing to take care of their chores.

June Was a Hot Month - More to Come / Rico, John [885] [RICO-1981-885]
THERE ARE FIGURES AND MORE FIGURES - Everyone talks about the. weather but no one can do anything about it. That's what has happened here in the month of June. The weather during the past 30 days has drawn about as much front page publicity as did the economic situation across the nation.

Could schools of the past teach us something? / Bowen, Jerry [766] [WAYITWAS-2007-766]
This is the last in a series on the early rules of grammar school education. The subjects discussed were penmanship, bookkeeping and current events, as taken from the 1911 Solano County Course of Study. I'm not so sure that they are still pursued in depth in many of the schools of today to any degree.

Unbelievable? - Too Much Water in Vaca Valley / Rico, John [870] [RICO-1981-870]
Where has all that water disappeared to? Here is a reprint from an 1888 publication referring to the abundance of rainfall in the Vacaville district. In fact, there was an over-abundance, with the excess water causing root rot to the newly planted fruit trees.
