Helping to preserve Solano County's yore
/
Bowen, Jerry
[496]
[WAYITWAS-2004-496]
How the past is used or abused can have an important bearing on how a community or county perceives itself. Preservation and promotion of a county's collective past is a logical goal for any self-respecting people. Indeed, pride in the past is seeing resurgence lately as more and more of our precious history is bulldozed under for redevelopment. It takes dedicated people who aren't afraid to work hard in order to set aside some of our precious history in Solano County for future generations.

Dusty memories and a castle on the hill
/
Bowen, Jerry
[34]
[WAYITWAS-2000-34]
Ghost towns are often the essence of dreams of adventure. They conjure up dreams of tumbleweeds rolling down a dusty street, doors hanging askew swaying in a whimsical breeze and decaying buildings embracing the memories of a population long since gone.

/
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.

Not-so-ancient history from Reporter's pages
/
Bowen, Jerry
[697]
[WAYITWAS-2007-697]
The majority of articles Sabine Georke-Shrode and I have been writing are about happenings well in the past. So, why not write a few items about what has happened that are more recent?

Rush family helped agriculture thrive in local area
/
Bowen, Jerry
[657]
[WAYITWAS-2006-657]
I've often been asked why I think that knowing something about the past is important. Today, most of us don't even think about the fact that all the mistakes and the good decisions made by those who came before us have had a profound effect on our lives.

Historic sites hidden by a veil of the past
/
Bowen, Jerry
[616]
[WAYITWAS-2005-616]
Perhaps in this piece I'll raise an awareness of the rapidly disappearing historic sites that we are losing in Solano County or of those that have already vanished because so little is known about them.

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.
