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.

Montezuma hides in remote corner of Solano
/
Bowen, Jerry
[577]
[WAYITWAS-2005-577]
In my last column I discussed the history of a corner of Solano County that few of today's citizens know about or visit, even though it is like time warping into the past.

Where is the 'real' Vacaville?
/
Bowen, Jerry
[19]
[WAYITWAS-2000-19]
In my last column, I stated that it was unknown which blocks of lots in the town of Vacaville were allotted to Vaca and Pena. Well, dagnabbit, that's not quite true. It's just that nobody seems to have written about it that I know of.

Tragic demise of "People of the West Wind"
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[222]
[ECHOS-1995-222]
Stone Age people were the first inhabitants of Solano County. This is known through artifacts found in Green Valley some years ago and dated by archaeologists to 2000 B.C. The next residents that we know of were the Patwin Indians. These people were the southern branch of the Wintun group and they lived in the region for a thousand years or more; some figures are as high as 4,000 years.

Today, when many remnants of our past are disappearing, it is always nice to know that a jewel survived destruction.

The Vacaville Cousins Who Gave Their Lives
/
Rico, John
[922]
[RICO-1979-922]
PERHAPS YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW - Writing about past wars, and especially those bits of news which saddened many Vacaville families, is not what any writer would choose to elaborate on. But from time to time such informative information may be beneficial to residents here today.

Towns vanished when railroad passed them by
/
Bowen, Jerry
[25]
[WAYITWAS-2000-25]
I have always been fascinated by old maps and the potential stories they reveal. Working at the Solano County Archives is especially intriguing because of its numerous old maps. Many of you already know something about the towns that will be described in a series of articles to follow, but for newcomers to Solano County or its history, it won't hurt to get acquainted with the communities that once served travelers and '49ers in the later 1800s. My thanks to James Davis for a suggestion about the town of Cement, which became the catalyst of this series of articles.

Remember When a Day's Pay Was $1.25?
/
Rico, John
[911]
[RICO-1979-911]
LET'S TALK INFLATION - If you noted the following prices in today's newspaper, you would know someone was out on a lark and wanting to have some fun. But, these prices actually appeared in advertisements in The Reporter back in 1932: pound of coffee 19c, loaf of bread 10c, pound of beef stew 9c, pound of bacon 14c, fresh pumpkin pie 15c, head of lettuce 4c, can of olives 9c, pound of butter 22c, bunch of vegetables 2c, a pack of cigarettes 10c, and you could send Junior to the Vacaville Theatre for 10c. That all added up to $1.24.

Aging structures in county spotlight
/
Bowen, Jerry
[727]
[WAYITWAS-2007-727]
Before I launch into this column I need to let several people who e-mailed me with questions know that my trusty old portable computer went up in smoke, and I lost all the questions. So, if I haven't answered you in the last month or so, try again.

Inflation Poses Problem for Vaca Retirees
/
Rico, John
[909]
[RICO-1979-909]
MAYBE, PERHAPS, IF, AND BUT - I don't know how much confidence you can place in learned economists, but nevertheless, some of their utterances make good food for conversation. As a guest of Obie Ladd and his Heart Federal Savings, I had an opportunity to listen to remarks by noted economist, Ezra Solomon, who hangs out at Stanford University, He addressed a large group at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco.
