FAIRFIELD — Councilwoman Catherine Moy said it is time for her to “move up or move out.” In a direct, sometimes toughworded and highly emotional interview Friday, Moy, 60, addressed criticism she has received about calling some of her council colleagues corrupt, claims brought against her by a local cannabis outlet that asserts it has been slandered by Moy, and at least one internal complaint for reportedly passing along rumors about an employee’s personal life to top city officials.

FAIRFIELD — The Solano Family Justice Center Health Fair has grown since it began in 2015, and now has a new name: the Lori Frank Memorial Health Fair. Frank worked for the Solano Family Justice Center and for several years helped organize the event. She died Aug. 18, 2021. “We renamed the health fair in honor of Frank,” said Christina Sinohul, co-coordinator for the event. Members of the community came out Saturday to the fair downtown to learn about health and for some fun. The Solano Family Justice Center opened in

February 2011 to offer victims of child abuse, domestic violence, elder abuse and sexual assault an opportunity to build hope and new futures. The center provides victims and survivors of violence assistance from many agencies located under one roof. There were 70 booths this year that offered information on domestic violence, child abuse advocacy and more. Free dental work was offered, along with vision tests. “The Ambassadors of Music entertained for the whole morning,” Sinohul said. Twenty-two students from the Public Safety Academy come out early in the morning to See Health, Page A12

The Lori Frank Memorial Health Fair was an opportunity for community members to see what Solano County has to offer for health care. One of the free offerings was vaccinations for the flu and Covid, Saturday.

Russia’s escalation won’t turn tide of the war The Washington Post LONDON — Russia’s efforts to counter Ukrainian advances by pounding Kyiv and other cities with missiles and mobilizing hundreds of thousands of reservists represent a significant escalation in the sevenmonth old war, but are unlikely to shift the dynamics of a conflict now clearly tilting in favor of Ukraine, Western intelligence assessments and military experts say. The missile strikes

alone have little strategic value, although they are inflicting widespread human misery and have disrupted lives in cities that have been relatively untouched by the fighting, the assessments say. Since the onslaught began on Monday over three dozen people have been killed and scores more wounded. Ukraine’s electricity infrastructure appears to be the main target, meaning that some residential areas have been plunged into darkness, leaving civil-

ians confronting the possibility of facing winter without power. But conditions on the battlefield continue to favor the nimbler, more highly motivated

and better armed Ukrainian military, which seems likely to retain the advantage over Russia’s lumbering, poorly equipped and exhausted army, at least for the fore-
