The colors of the Promise Garden flowers each hold a meaning: Blue means the person has Alzheimer’s, yellow means someone is caring for an Alzheimer’s patient, purple means loss and orange means support for the cause and vision for the future.
SUISUN CITY — Rhonda Englhardt of Suisun City wore a picture of her mother on the back of her T-shirt Saturday which read, “I walk in memory of Grandma Lori.” Englhardt’s sister, Esther Kalis of Vacaville, also wore a purple shirt and walked with the memories of her mother. Lorraine Egger died in 2014 after living with the disease for about
10 years, Kalis said. “I walk to honor her,” Englhardt said. Englhardt remembers her mother always being cheerful. She was a single mother who raised five children. “I love to walk but also I want to do something for a good cause,” Englhardt said during the Walk to End Alzheimer’s at the Suisun City waterfront. Kalis was not her mother’s caretaker but See Quest, Page A12

Ukraine’s critical energy infrastructure was extensively damaged Saturday as Russian troops delivered another large-scale wave of missile strikes, leaving 1.5 million or more people temporarily without power. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia had launched a “massive attack” overnight, with some 36 missiles fired, most of them intercepted but some that hit their marks. Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is nearing the eight-month mark, and in the past two weeks has been
marked by increased targeting of civilian structures including power and heating facilities, as the Kremlin looks to leave millions of people without electricity heading into winter. A top aide to Zelenskyy said Russia is trying to provoke a new refugee crisis for Europe by driving Ukrainians from their homes. “Whether Putin will be able to implement his plan depends on European capitals’ leaders,” Mykhailo Podolyak said on Twitter.

THANSEN@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET
FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors have scheduled an open meeting discussion Tuesday on the “status of labor negotiations” and to consider approval of those contracts that have had tentative agreements reached by Monday. Those contracts have not been specified. The board has been holding special closed sessions as the deadline for the contract expirations closed in, including a special closed session Friday, the date many of those agreements ended.
The board also is scheduled to receive a request to shift the Revolving Loan Fund Project from the pandemic negative economic impacts category of the American Rescue Plan Act to the revenue recovery category, which would move the business assistance funding into the county’s general fund control. American Rescue Plan Act presentations on one-time employee retention/recognition payments and on Parks and Tourism options also will be made. See Supes, Page A12
