/
Bowen, Jerry
[214]
[WAYITWAS-2004-214]
For years, as Vacaville grew during the nineteenth century, volunteer firemen had pressured the town trustees for efficient firefighting equipment, but with little success. By 1908, Vacaville had two hose carts, a town water system with a few hydrants and chemical fire extinguishers strategically placed around the downtown area.

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 [...]

/
Delaplane, Kristin
[285]
[ECHOS-1996-285]

Unearthing fact and fiction in life of poet
/
Bowen, Jerry
[549]
[WAYITWAS-2004-549]
In my last column we saw that Markham had run away and was gone for about six months and had finally realized his dream to attend Vacaville's California College. During my continuing research about Markham, I found the following in notes supplied to the Vacaville Heritage Council by J. W. Hawkins: The reference isn't noted, but I suspect it came from "The Unknown Edwin Markham" by Lois Filler.

Solano's past heavily influenced by water, its uses
/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[10]
