The Shawnee News-Star
In spring of 2020, the vehicles of area residents filled the parking lot of SSM Health St. Anthony – Shawnee, headlights lit to show support for healthcare workers as the country was reeling from the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, over a year later, Oklahomans are invited to honor health care workers, essential workers, first responders and others impacted by the pandemic with a moment of silence Monday as the country continues to battle COVID-19.
The moment of silence, scheduled for 10 a.m., Monday, May 10, is being observed during National Hospital and Health Care Week.

It happens to the best of us!
I ll be the first to admit that my car isn t always the cleanest. There s usually a bag or two of trash, some unopened junk mail, some food crumbs, and lots of dog hair floating around in there. When it gets too gross, I ll do a pretty intense deep clean, but sometimes I find things I don t expect.
Last Sunday, the weather was so nice that I decided to clean out my SUV. It was a long, cold winter with lots of snow, so it had been several months since it had been touched. After getting out the vacuum to clean up the carpet, I pushed back my driver s seat, where I discovered a whole rotting onion. It hadn t started to smell yet, but it did start melting into the floor. It must ve rolled out of a grocery bag at some point, but I have no idea how long it had been there!
