19 Years Of Meals On Wheels In Wawa!

Mayor Rody and Meals Driver Dave Farago Article & photo by Barb Fisher March is Red Cross Month and the Canadian Red Cross is celebrating "March for Meals".

As part of March for Meals, "Champion Week" invites local VIP's from the community to take part in the day's delivery of meals raising awareness to the importance of the Meals on Wheels program in our own and neighbouring communities. And this month Wawa's Mayor Ron Rody takes the spotlight in the celebration.

I arrived at the hospital canteen meeting area to take a photo of the Mayor and the "Meals" delivery person of the day, Dave Farago. They both were enjoying a great chat, and with their mutual familiarity of many of the meal recipients I'm sure this day's visit brightened up many a senior's memory of days gone by.

The Meals on Wheels program has been serving smiles one meal at a time for nineteen years in North Algoma, and has seen lots of changes since the meal preparation was started at the

Viking Restaurant, and ten years ago moving to the Lady Dunn Health Centre with the added benefit of a registered dietician on staff. This program relies on dedicated volunteers of which currently there are 14 people who help seniors remain independent and to stay in their own homes longer. Seniors, adults recovering from illness, physically or mentally challenged individuals all qualify for the Canadian Red Cross Meals on Wheels program.

Travelling to the grocery store, preparing a nutritious meal, and cleaning up the dishes and kitchen afterwards can be a daunting exercise for a senior; so why not leave the task to Meals on Wheels!

In Wawa, hot meals are prepared at the Lady Dunn Health Centre (LDHC) and follow carefully planned menus that help sustain a well balanced diet, including soup, bread roll, salad and an entree. Of course no meal would be complete without all the condiments and a dessert.

The meals are substantial, with

many people enjoying the soup and salad for lunch, saving the entree for dinner. Staff are happy to provide special requests for those people who cannot eat certain foods. Meals are delivered by volunteers at 11:30 a.m. five days a week, Monday to Friday and the Meal program can be ordered anytime by calling the Coordinator: Darlene Trovarello at 705-856-1964.

Perhaps you know a neighbour or family member who could benefit from this program.

The Red Cross has many ways this service can be provided. For someone recovering from an illness or requires a meal just once or twice a week, this can be arranged. There is a cost for this service, although it is partially subsidized by the NE LHIN. Meals can be billed to a family member who wishes to provide meals for their loved one who may not live in the same town or province. Gift certificates are also available which make great birthday or Christmas gifts for those parents who have everything!

With the current number of volunteers, each driver is required to make deliveries only two or three times a month and most deliveries take about 30 minutes.

The service works well for volunteers who are also employed.

The Red Cross has many volunteers employed as shift workers and others who work for companies or organizations that encourage community service. The demand for volunteers usually grows in the summer when vacations start, and short-term commitments from June to August are certainly welcome. If you feel this pledge can work into your life-style, contact the Canadian Red Cross and join the wonderful team of volunteers - the Heart of the Organization.

Michael Mantha Concerned About Path Ahead For Ontario Health Care

Elliot Lake The Ford Government continues to forge ahead with their roguish changes to Ontario’s health care system despite the outcry from the public and many public health care authorities.

For decades, Ontarians have had access to one of the premier public health care systems in the world. Now, after years of underfunding and cuts by successive Liberal and Conservative governments, Ontarians requiring treatment and care can look forward to languishing for months on surgical waiting lists. In emergency rooms they are waiting for hours - only to be moved onto gurneys in hallways in the midst of an ongoing hallway medicine crisis.

Local hospitals are feeling the pinch on the font lines. Both Sault Area Hospital and Health Sciences North have been operating above patient capacity on a regular basis for years. They are forced to make cut after cut and yet are expected to maintain and even improve services to patients.

Now, it looks like Doug Ford is willing to sacrifice a once great health care system as he schemes in the back rooms to help his wealthy friends by paving the way for private forprofit corporations so they can fill their pockets with public

tax dollars like never before.

“Most Ontarians don’t realize that Ontario spends $62 billion a year on health care,” stated MPP Michael Mantha.

“Unfortunately there are some people who are interested in health care, not because they want to help people, but because they're interested in a nice juicy slice of the $62 billion pie that comes up every year."

On Tuesday night at a town hall on health care, Andrea Horwath shared the NDP’s vision for better health care explaining that Ontario families deserve health care that is second to none. Our health care system should be driven by people, and the care they need and deserve, not by profits and greed.

Horwath stated, “We envision a future where our public health care system better protects people’s health, including things like prescription drug coverage and dental coverage. We envision a future where the promise of high-quality health care in Ontario doesn’t end if the care you need includes medication, mental health supports or if the pain is in your mouth. And we envision a future where no one should have to empty their wallet or rack up credit card bills in order to get the care they need.”

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is reminding anglers that many lakes across the province have significant slush conditions.

You need to plan ahead in order to remove your ice hut on time.

•Ice huts must be removed from certain Fisheries Management Zones (FMZ) in Ontario by a specified date (see table below).

•Conservation Officers encourage anglers to make sure their huts are placed on

the ice in a way that prevents them from freezing into the ice i.e. blocking the skids up off the ice which will make removal easier to do when it comes time for removal.

•Ice hut owners are responsible to remove all debris, garbage etc. from the ice in the vicinity of their ice huts.

•Leaving debris frozen in the ice becomes an environmental and a public safety concern i.e. boaters colliding with wooden blocks, tarps, ice hut parts, etc.

ute to move them, this will show responsible ownership. i.e. packing a trail to the ice hut.

•If ice huts remain out on the ice beyond the specified deadline, the matter will be investigated and may result in charges being laid against the owner(s) of the hut.

1-800-222-TIPS (8477). And visit Ontario.ca/mnrftips to view an interactive, searchable map of unsolved cases. You may be able to provide information that will help solve a case.

REVIEW Review of Proposed Operations: Information Center Algoma Forest 2020-2030 Forest Management Plan The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), Clergue Forest Management Inc. and the Sault Ste. Marie and Wawa Local Citizens’ Committee (LCC) invite you to an information centre. This information centre is being held as part of the detailed planning of operations for the ten-year period of the 2020 – 2030 Forest Management Plan (FMP) for the Algoma Forest.

The Planning Process The FMP takes approximately three years to complete. During this time, five formal opportunities for public consultation and First Nation and Métis community involvement and consultation are provided. The second opportunity (Stage Two) for this FMP occurred on January 16, 2019 when the public was invited to review and comment on the long-term management direction. This ‘Stage Three’ notice is:

With the long awaited warmer weather finally upon us, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is reminding motorists to watch for "standing" or pooling water on the roadways.

The combination of increased temperatures and rainfall can cause large pools of water to form on the roadways. Because the ground is still frozen, the water has no place to go. Road crews do their best to dig snowbanks away to channel water off the roads, but sometimes the water will still pool in low lying areas.

Drivers need to recognize that these pools of water may cause potential dangers to travelling motorists. For your own safety, and for the safety of others using the roadways, the OPP is urging motorists to please slow down, increase your following distances and watch for standing water on the roadways.

Letters to the Editor...

• To invite you to review and comment on - the details of access, harvest, renewal and tending operations for the ten-year period of the plan, and - the proposed primary and branch road corridors and the proposed operational road boundaries for the ten-year period of the plan, and • To request contributions to the background information to be used in planning.

In addition to the most current versions of the information and maps which were available at Stages One and Two of the public consultation, the following information will be available at the information centers: • Summary of public comments and submissions received to date and any responses to those comments and submissions; • The proposed road use management strategies; and • The list of required modifications resulting from the public review of the long-term management direction.

The detailed proposed operations will be available for review and comment at the Clergue Forest Management Inc. office and at the MNRF Sault Ste. Marie District Office at the locations shown below by appointment during normal office hours for a period of 60 days April 16, 2019 to June 14, 2019.

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to The solutions will be published here in the next issue. see how ‘straights’ are formed.

Food Bank Update: March 2019 Wawa Community Food Bank wishes to acknowledge the support of many people over the January to March interval. We have received financial donations and items as varied as eggs, milk, fruit and vegetables, pet food, knitted winter wear, socks and crocheted crib blankets.

Thank you so much to Nancy Donald, Linda Farrington, Lorne Leclair, Lila Peterson, Lorraine Pihelgas, Melanie Pilon, Neil Sager and Catherine Orr-Sager, Klawa Summers and Dr. Dannica Switzer. Additionally we are grateful to our local branch of Algoma District Services Administration Board, our local Lions Club and Northern Credit Union, the Native Healing and Wellness Centre, Wagging Tails Kennel and Wawa Public Library.

The youth of our community are certainly demonstrating their concern for the wellbeing of others with very practical and unselfish methods.

Jordan Chalykoff requested donations to the food bank in lieu of birthday presents.

Michipicoten High School Spirit Council, under the direction of their teacher advocate Kate Morrison, encouraged canned food and monetary donations with a Toonie For A Toque initiative. Students were able to wear a hat in school if they contributed to the fund or added to the huge assortment of non-perishable items.

Saint Joseph French Immersion School provides table ready fruit and vegetables

with regularity.

The grade five/six class of Jennifer Chandor-Hall at Sir James Dunn Public School recently celebrated 100 days of instruction with a challenge to the entire school to compete for the honour of collecting the most non-perishable food items. This competition produced multiple boxes for the benefit of food bank clients.

We offer our appreciation to the students, teachers and administrators for modelling charitable giving in our community.

Thank you as well to those anonymous donors who fill the bin inside the main door of the EDC at 96 Broadway Ave. and to staff and management of Valu Mart for providing a designated cart for donated food items and for their help in so many other ways. Subway also receives our gratitude for the continued contribution of bread products.

Finally, we are indebted to the Wawa Ice Fishing Derby committee for encouraging so many participants to donate their catch to the food bank and to Chayse Penno for his skilled filleting of the many pike and lake trout enjoyed by our clients.

All of the above supporters have helped to ease the severity of this hard and long winter for people facing food insecurity in our town. Our sincere apologies to anyone we may have missed in this listing. Please know that all donations are valued.

INSPECTION Inspection of Approved 2019-2022 Contingency Plan and Approved 2019-2020 Annual Work Schedule for the Magpie Forest The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) and the Wawa Area Local Citizens’ Committee (LCC) advises you that the 2019-2022 Contingency Plan (CP) for the Magpie Forest has been approved by the MNRF Regional Director. The associated April 1, 2019 – March 31, 2020 Annual Work Schedule (AWS) for the Magpie Forest has also been approved by the MNRF Wawa District Manager. Both documents are now available for inspection.

Availability The CP and AWS will be available for public inspection at the Mistikuskahk Resources Inc. office by appointment during the normal office hours listed below and on the Ontario government website at www.ontario.ca/forestplans beginning March 15, 2019, and throughout the period that they are in effect.

Implementation of the CP and AWS will commence April 1, 2019.

Why is a Contingency Plan Required?

The CP is required to enable the implementation of forest operations and extend the existing Magpie Forest Management Plan from 2019 to 2022. This will allow time to produce a 10-year Forest Management Plan.

Scheduled Annual Operations The AWS describes forest operations such as access (e.g., forestry aggregate pits, road construction, maintenance, and decommissioning), harvest, renewal (e.g. site preparation, tree planting), and tending that are scheduled to occur during the year.

Tree Planting and Fuelwood Mistiguskahk Resources Inc. is responsible for tree planting on the Magpie Forest. Please contact Wayne Pawson at 877-561-6614, ext. 224 for information regarding tree planting job opportunities.

For information on the locations and licence requirements for obtaining fuelwood for personal use, or for commercial fuelwood opportunities, please contact the MNRF Wawa District Office at 705-856-2396.

More Information Interested and affected persons, organizations, and First Nation and Métis communities can arrange an appointment at the appropriate MNRF Office to discuss the Contingency Plan and/or AWS. For further information, please contact: Mary Lynn McKenna MNRF Wawa District Office P.O. Box 1160 Wawa, ON P0S 1K0 tel: 705-856-4713 e-mail: marylynn.mckenna@ontario.ca

Legion Appeal Brings Back Memories for Oldtimer John Morrison The Wawa Legion Branch’s appeal for financial assistance (“Lift for the Legion”) has prompted me to think about my association with the local Legion, commencing when I was in public school and the concrete forms for that building were put in place. My Dad (Neil Morrison) took me to the construction site because they said they had a job for me.

I was thin enough that they could lower me down between the 12 inch wooden forms to sweep up all the pine cones, wood chips and construction debris. It’s a good job I wasn’t claustrophobic. I recall some local boys throwing down sticks for me to pick up, until they were shooed away.

When I was 12 – 14 years

old I was bat boy for the Legion ball team in the summer and stick boy for the Legion hockey team in the winter. I bonded with all of them as they coached me in life lessons for many years. I just picked up their bats or fetched hockey sticks for them but I know now that I was given many opportunities because of my volunteering with them.

It doesn’t seem long after that before I joined the Legion ball team at first base. Our league was the Mine, the Plant, and the Legion (town). The Plant and Mine had some pretty good players as they recruited them from out west and gave them jobs to keep them here. We were just the locals with only local experi-

ence, however if WE won, it was free beer after the game!

Eddie and Ellen Kane worked very hard with the youth in Wawa by holding various events for the different age groups. After I turned 21, my friends (Spike Spreng, Mike Jennings, Tom Leveque, Dick McArthur, Nick Krpan, etc.) and I were all “eligible” bachelors, looking for a good time. So Ed and Ellen held Saturday night dances at which we spent a good bit on refreshments. In mid week Ed or Ellen would contact one of us to see if we were going fishing next weekend or dancing. If we said “fishing”, the dance was occasionally postponed till the next weekend.

Over the years the Legion

has been a mainstay for various events – wedding receptions, family gatherings, political speakers, etc. etc., particularly since the Polish Hall closed. Their luncheons and Wing Nights and other occasions have encouraged community fellowship.

While their ranks are shrinking, the Legion is still a major part of our community. They have been working hard to make the Legion Hall wheelchair accessible, almost a necessity as we age and our strength becomes limited. The building is ready to house the lift and now they need $100,000 in order to install it.

It’s such a worthwhile project that it behooves all of us to support it, in honour of

all the times the Legion has been there for us over the years. Donations can be made by e-transfer to ar@wawa.cc, mailed or delivered in person to the Municipality of Wawa, 40 Broadway Avenue, P.O. Box 500, Wawa, ON. P0S 1K0.

There must also be many former residents who have good memories of their own who would be willing to help.

Cheques can be made out to “Lift for the Legion” and any donation over $100 will be publicly acknowledged on a plaque to hang in the Legion Hall. Tax receipts for all donations over $50. We can do it Wawa!

In April, we will change our course times to accommodate working people wishing to learn the basics of Microsoft Word.

Beginning Tuesday, April 2nd, Basics of Microsoft Word will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 p.m.-7:30 p.m. We will explore the ribbon and toolbars, and learn how to create, open, navigate, close and save documents in Word.

about the courses. Computers and laptops are available to use at our centre.

Last Week's Answers

Aries (Mar. 21 - Apr. 20) Plans to make physical improvements may lead to psychological changes, too.

You can make progress professionally. You can accomplish the most if you travel for business purposes. You can pick up some overtime this week.

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) You can make or break your personal relationship this week. Pleasure trips will be emotionally favorable.

Someone you live with could be frustrated and upset. Try to bend to their wishes if you want to avoid conflict.

Taurus (Apr. 21 - May 21) Be careful while traveling.

You are best to move quickly and to get in good with the boss. You need to focus on yourself, not on others. Your temper could get the better of you if you confront personal situations.

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) Make changes to your home that will be pleasing to everyone involved. Don't let the cat out of the bag. You could overreact to emotional situations regarding your relationship. Uncertainties regarding relatives will make situations uncomfortable if you attend a family function.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21) If possible, rely on coworkers to back your objectives, and talk to superiors in order to get approval. Keep an open mind when listening to the opinions of others. A change is as good as a rest. Don't go looking for change. Don't cause a scene, but when you get home let your partner know how you feel and why..

Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Don't let your health suffer because of worry. Talk to someone you trust. Pamper yourself this week. Avoid any petty ego confrontations; they could lead to estrangement if you aren't careful. You will reap the rewards for your kind actions. .

You can complete any projects efficiently, especially if you put the effort in yourself.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) You should put your efforts into creative projects. Try not to donate to organizations if you can hardly afford to take care of yourself. Work quietly on your own. Your ideas may be good, but they aren't necessarily right for everyone.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Drastic financial losses may be likely if you lend money.

There may be opportunities to attend social functions that are linked to work. Someone may be trying to take advantage of you. Do some research if you want to find information that you can apply against the opposition you face.

Pisces (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20) Get involved in a competitive sport that will bring the challenges you thrive on. You will be confused about the intentions of someone you work with. You will have no problem getting along with clients. You mustn't be so trusting.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT AND INFORMATION SESSION THE MUNICIPALITIES OF MANITOUWADGE, MARATHON, SCHREIBER, TERRACE BAY AND WAWA

PROPOSED NORTH SHORE PROJECT The Municipalities of Manitouwadge, Marathon, Schreiber, Terrace Bay and Wawa (the Municipalities) are proposing to construct gas storage facilities (above ground storage tanks and associated vaporization systems) as well as local gas distribution systems (gas mains and service pipes) in each of the five municipalities of the North Shore. The North Shore LNG Project (“the Project”) will include the construction distribution networks (made up of small mains/laterals ranging in Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) 2” to 6” in size, depending on specified loads. The distribution networks will be primarily designed to be 11 located within existing municipal infrastructure (road easements, etc.).

Public consultation with landowners, Indigenous communities, government agencies and other interested persons is an integral component of the planning process. An Information Session regarding the proposed Project will be held in each of the five Municipalities as follows: Tuesday, April 9, 2019 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

As part of the planning process, the Municipalities have retained Stantec Consulting Ltd. to undertake an Environmental Study of the construction and operation of the proposed natural gas pipeline. The Environmental Study will fulfill the requirements of the Ontario Energy Board’s (OEB’s) Environmental Guidelines for the Location, Construction, and Operation of Hydrocarbon Pipelines and Facilities in Ontario, 7th Edition (2016).

It is anticipated that the Environmental Reports for the studies should be completed by June 2019, after which the Municipalities will file applications for the proposed pipelines to the OEB. The OEB’s review and approval is required before construction of the Project can proceed. If approved, construction of the pipelines and storage facilities is anticipated to begin in Spring 2020.

With Jim White

"The Resolutions" A Short Story Series Chapter 9

The next morning at Henry and Alice's place – which we remember is 'payment day' for Henry - is not going to be a normal day for them. Henry got up first, and had another hot shower.

Now he was becoming paranoid about that perfume odor – he was sure he could still smell it on him and throughout the house. After his shower, he put on his bathrobe that was hung on the back of the bathroom door, grabbed the spray bottle of air freshener, and went throughout the house spraying it generously. He put it back in the bathroom under the sink, and went back to the bedroom to get dressed. Just as he came in the doorway, Alice stirred, and flipped the covers off, and gingerly got herself up and sat on the edge of the bed. Henry called out to her “How are you feeling this morning?” She replied with a big yawn, “Oh, not bad I guess – still a bit groggy from that medication. My arm feels a bit tender, but overall I guess I am ok.

Sorry about the trouble I caused you...”

He quickly replied, “No problem. You sure gave me a scare, though. That was some night.”

He paused, and then hesitantly asked, “What were you doing at the store anyway? I thought you were over at Helen's?”

“Yes, I was. But on the way home, I remembered that we needed milk for today. We just had enough for breakfast, I remembered. I also wanted to pick up my Entertainment Weekly magazine. Besides that, it was colder than I thought, so I also wanted to pop in just to get warmed up again before heading home in the final stretch.

It's funny, actually. Just now, I remember seeing that woman turning away from the counter after paying for whatever she bought and heading towards the door, as I crossed the parking

lot towards the store through the window. And...” Alice started to giggle. “The stupidest thought hit me. I have a dress just like that at home. But then the collision as I opened the door to go in, and the feel of the bullet hitting my arm, and the sound of the shot going off and echoing in the store and my ears as the woman rushed by me through the door that was slowly closing behind me... It all happened at the same time, and that thought escaped me, until now.” She stopped chattering away. He could see that she was releasing all the shock, pent-up thoughts and feelings. He wasn't sure he liked this, but then again, it would be good to know where he stood. Once I know how much she knows, I can be prepared for a reasonable reply and explanation. he rationalized.

Then with just a short pause, the next bullet flew out: “The getaway vehicle. I remember there being three vehicles in the parking lot. Let me see now...

Oh, there was a truck parked way down at the end. That's all I remember about it. Don't know the colour, or make. Then there was a small car. Don't remember anything about it either. Shoot.

Then there was another car, maybe a Ford Escape? I don't know. Again I wasn't paying attention to that sort of thing.

It was parked right beside the door, so I bet it was Janine's car. That was who the clerk was last night. Which reminds me, I must call her up and find out how she is making out with this ordeal. She has the actual robbery to recover from. Poor girl.”

Henry quickly interjected that maybe it would be best to leave her alone while she did indeed get her mind around what happened. The police are likely still questioning her too, he added.

She must be stressed, he added.

Henry tried to persuade her. It worked. He took a deep breath of relief that he had stopped that idea in its' tracks. He didn't want

them comparing notes with each other, and them coming up with an idea it was him that did this.

Immediately after that, though, she was off on another tangent.

“The woman robber – maybe she ran off on foot. Hmmm.”

Thinking the zingers were all over, he relaxed. But then suddenly she shot her own bullet: “I wonder if the cops found the bullet. That would help track down the robber, wouldn't it. I should call them and check that out.”

He tried to stop her there, as he told her that they would find it. It was likely on the floor just inside the door, he added. Then he piled on to further discourage her from pursuing that idea, he finished with the comment that the cops here in town are very good at doing their job, so you don't need to bother them with that. She thought about that for a moment before agreeing that he was right.

Finally, there was a bullet that nearly shot him through the heart, figuratively speaking, of course.

“You know, Henry, I always liked that dress. I should get it out of the closet, and see if I can get into it again. I think I have lost enough weight lately that I likely could ...” She started to get up off the bed to go towards the closet. Henry panicked, and went over to her, and pushed her back down onto the edge of the bed, more forcefully than he had meant to. She let out a yelp, and cried out that he hurt her arm. He apologized profusely.

“Sorry. I didn't mean to do that. It's just that I don't want you to get too hung up on that right now. C'mon, hon. Why don't you lay down again, and have another short nap while I fix breakfast.

I think that medication has not entirely worn off yet.” He then relaxed a bit, and more gently got her back laying down. He kissed her arm just below the bandage and cooed: “Kiss and make it better.” She giggled and did not argue with him. Sure enough, she almost immediately drifted off to sleep.

Henry then immediately rushed out of the house into the garage, and got the dress out of the garbage can. He smelled it, and it didn't seem too strong, he thought. But he brought it into the house, and found a bottle of that Febreze air freshener, and sprayed it liberally on the dress.

Satisfied with that, not thinking he had replaced the perfume smell with another that was just as potent. He sneaked quietly into the bedroom, and hung it up in the farthest end of her side of the closet. He thought, “Just in case she decides to look for it.

After today, if she doesn't think anymore about it, I can get rid of it tomorrow. It's garbage day, so that will still be okay.”

(Why he did not just leave it in the garbage can and dispose of it the next day with the garbage as he originally planned, who knows. If she could not find it in the closet, she would just assume that she must of gotten rid of it already. No evidence, Henry.

That's what happens when you don't have a solid plan, and you panic and have to make it up on the go. Oh, Henry.)

He stumbled around in the near dark, except for that glow from the night light, and grabbed his clothes and took them out to the living room and got dressed there, so as not to disturb her. He then went to the kitchen to make some coffee, and got his own breakfast ready. He wasn't sure if she would be up before he left for work or not. But just as the coffee was finishing percolating, Alice appeared, yawning, and moving stiffly. “Oh, you didn't stay asleep long. Want some breakfast?”, he asked.

“No, just a coffee for now. I'll make some toast later.” She sat down at the kitchen table while she waited for the coffee to finish brewing. “I think that I will call in sick today. I still feel a little rough...”, she declared. “Well, yeah. You have been shot, even though it is just a little nick on the side of your arm. At least it wasn't your right arm, that's the one you use for everything. I know I would be stuck if my right hand or arm, or foot too, was incapacitated, for that matter.

I am a right-handed fellow, as you know,” he chided her. They both laughed at how to take that.

Then he asked her: “Do you want me to stay home with you for today. You should be taking it easy, and take care of that arm.

I don't want you doing anything strenuous and get the wound bleeding again. Cuz I know you won't be content to just sit still all day.”

She replied: “How sweet, Henry. But no, I will be fine. It is

time for another pill. That should knock me out for the morning anyway. Then I can have your lunch ready at noon. And the afternoon will be a wipe out too, I expect.” She turned and saw that the coffee was ready. She got up and went over to the counter and poured her cup. She just happened to look at the clock over the stove. She called out: “Oh, look at the time. Hadn't you better get ready for work.” he jumped up and agreed. He went out and started their vehicle, and came back in, dashed into the bathroom, and got finished in there, and came back out, got his coat on, and was out the door. A second later, he popped his head back in, and called out: “I am on my way. See you at noon. Love ya, Sweet Alice of Mine.”

She came out to see him off, and stood at the front window, sipping her coffee, and watching him leave in their black coloured half ton truck. She stayed there for several minutes, watching the neighbourhood as everyone got going too. She mused: “Hmmm.

This is something I don't see myself every day. I am always in the mix heading out. That reminds me, I gotta call in sick.

I think they will understand the short notice. Then I should call Janine and see how she is making out with this ordeal,” she said to herself, completely ignoring her agreement with Henry not to call today. She nodded her head, and declared that it was the least she could do. “I am sure she would do the same, if she was in my shoes. No, just a quick call to ask how she was doing.

No harm in that. Hmmm. I'm getting hungry. Time to make that toast, have another coffee and take that pill. Then sometime today I'm going to try to get some housework done, if I feel up to it.” Now that she was satisfied of what her plan of action was going to be that day, she turned away from the window, and headed out to the kitchen.....

What Henry didn't think about was that she had all day at home alone to think, remember, make phone calls, and have visitors, like the cops....

That Thursday night before he left for his 'appointment', there was a confrontation....
