Wichels, Ernest
[852]
[WICHELS-1964-852]
It is difficult for most of us, living in the year 1964, to realize the advantages we possess over those available to Vallejo residents or Mare Island personnel just a hundred years ago. We take our freeways, radio and TV, dial telephones with direct connections to New York or Hawaii, automobiles, airplanes, etc., for granted.

Lonely historic site awaits much-needed help
/
Bowen, Jerry
[830]
[WAYITWAS-2008-830]
It lies on a windswept knoll above the confluence of the San Joaquin River and the Sacramento River. Slowly but surely, giant windmills move stealthily ever closer to the deteriorating wood shell covered adobe. Mold on one of the interior walls appears as a small sinister-looking waterfall from a leak in the roof.

Drivers of today, 1926 much the same
/
Bowen, Jerry
[119]
[WAYITWAS-2002-119]
Transportation seems to occupy a lot of space in newsprint today. High insurance rates, drunk driving, overcrowded highways and the huge number of cars on the road all seem to be a big problem.

Old Church Structures
/
Wichels, Ernest
[855]
[WICHELS-1964-855]
Solano County has many old and revered churches. No one (or two, or three or more) columns could justly describe all of them. Some of these churches still serve large and growing congregations; some simply stand as markers of a gracious era a full century ago.

Wichels, Ernest
[781]
[WICHELS-1964-781]
Like Santa Claus, the editor of an historical column has many helpers. Hardly a day passes that I do not receive some information which helps to bridge the gap between the past and the present.

Denverton was once known as Nurse's Landing
/
Bowen, Jerry
[33]
[WAYITWAS-2000-33]
Every day thousands of travelers and strung-out commuters zoom past a road sign on Highway 12 that points to Denverton Road not far from the Western Railroad Museum. Should you choose to leave Highway 12 here, a fading and dusty street sign on this quiet road greets you declaring this to be the "Rio Vista-Denverton Road." An old ranch, a couple of newer structures and a bridge over a swampy waterway are all that occupy the quiet lane.
