'Tapeworm ticket' hurts intestines of election
/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[765]
[WAYITWAS-2007-765]
My last column looked at local elections in the 1860s and 1870s and their tumultuous proceedings. One of the most memorable elections occurred in 1871, when Vallejo gained national fame for the invention of the so-called "tapeworm ticket." The main information for the events surrounding this ballot ticket can be found in "Recollections of a Newspaperman," written by Frank A. Leach in 1917.

Lonely historic site awaits much-needed help

Bowen, Jerry

[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.

[WAYITWAS-2007-738]
My last column looked at the early years of the Fairfield-Suisun Airbase, a wartime response to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Although the local newspapers did not report much about the activities, local residents were eager to learn more about the "great flying field."

Law was passed closing saloons on election day to quell rioting

Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[763]
[WAYITWAS-2007-763]
Our recent local elections with low voter turnout and disinterested citizens had me look at earlier elections in Solano County. With today's well-regulated and orderly campaign and voting system in mind, 19th century elections read more like a riot.

Great Depression caused hard times in Solano
/
Bowen, Jerry
[825]
[WAYITWAS-2008-825]
Today I saw an interesting front page from a United Kingdom newspaper, The Independent, showing a photo that may or may not be a modern soup line waiting for handouts. The headline blatantly shouts, "United States of America 2008; The Great Depression."
