and tell them they were out
of the contest.
Others talked out loud in
their sleep, or grunted and
groaned Gary says. But the
three survivors are sound
sleepers, he adds.
The fifth sitter remaining
was forced to quit when his
legs and feet caused him
pain. A nurse visited and
said that his ankles were
swelling due to poor cir-
culation. The fourtinsitterileft
was disqualified when his
food accidentially slipped
and touched the ground. "He
was horsing around," Gary
explains.
Darling ran the same
contest two years ago. Rain
and cold weather brought an
early winner. Debbie Styles
of Huron Park won after just
65 hours.
Rory says his bike is worth
$2100. Since it's not entirely
paid for, he would like to win
the contest. Because Rory's
bike is the least expensive of
the three, he says he might
consider making a deal with
the others where they share
the prize with him if he steps
down. But Kevin and Terry
are not interested in any
deals.
Rory's mother drives 60
miles a day to bring his
dinner from St. Marys. He
says his family is supporting
him in his bid.
Rory is working as a
lighting technician for a rock
band called Blackler. The
band has told him to take off
all the time he needs.
Because most of his work is
in the evenings, Rory is used
to sleeping in the daytime,
and, spends. much of his time
on the bike sleeping,

the night shift just in case of
a fire.
Lester said the staff will
continue monthly fire drills
and he is certain the training
program will assist the staff
to remain calm during an
evacuation.
Lester explained the
Huronview staff works at
fire prevention. The home
adheres to smoking rules.
Smoking in the rooms is not
permitted. Smoking is only
allowed in designated areas
where smoking residents are
under constant supervision.
Lester cited two instances
where smoking residents
were under supervision
when their clothes caught
fire and staff were able to
extinguish the fire before
anyone was seriously hurt.
Lester said he is confident
that Huronview's staff is
capably trained in fire
prevention, the use of fire
fighting equipment and the
safe evacuation of residents
which reduces the risk of a
tragedy.
Did you know that 5000
Canadians are stricken with
breast cancer each year?
There is a 75 per cent
chance of being cured if
the cancer is discovered in
time. Self-examination of
the breast, once a month,
will reveal any irregularity
and allow you to consult
your physician. immediately.
He learned early in the
contest that drinking too
much caused a problem,
when bathroom breaks only
come once every four hours.
Rory sucks ice cubes to
quench his thirst on hot
sunny days.
Rory says he is smoking a
pack of cigarettes a day,
more than his usual amount.
"And I'm bored sick," he
adds.
Rory says he's only
staying for the money; he's
not interested in getting his
name in the book of records.
His main complaint is not
being able to wash his hair.
"I usually wash it every day.
This really bums me out," he
said.
Terry, who has been
working on a farm near
Ilderton is sitting on her
cousin's bike, She thinks it's
worth about $3000, Terry has
a less expensive bike of her
own, which another cousin
sat on for the first part of the
contest, until he was forced
out.
Terry passed the time
chatting with her sister,
Janet. Janet has erected a
cot beside her sister's bike,
and is even sleeping at her
sister's side. But unlike
Terry, Janet has the benefit
of a heavy sleeping bag at
night.
Terry says she was afraid
of falling off the first couple
of nights, but now she is quite
comfortable sleeping on the
bike. A wishbone hangs from
the handle bars to bring her
luck.
Terry says the time went
by faster when the Darling
kids were around before
school started back. Now it's
pretty quiet during the day.
Terry doesn't smoke,
although she's parked
between Kevin and Rory who
both say they've increased
the number of cigarettes
they smoke.
Terry works on her
cousin's farm, and says they
have told her to take as much
time off as she needs. She's
in no hurry to get back to
work.
• Kevin, whose folks live in
Crediton, just five miles
away, has the most to win by
sitting. His bike is worth
over $6000, but Darling has
set a limit of up to $5000,
Kevin is determined to get
the $5000 to pay off his bike.
For the past two years
Kevin has been living in Fort
Nelson British Columbia, on
mile 300 of the Alaska high-
way, working as a truck
driver.
He bought the bike last
April, and then returned
home this summer for a rest.
He heard about the sit-on-it
contest, and decided to try it.
As soon as the contest is
over, he plans to return to his
truck driving job in the west.
Kevin says his bike is the
most comfortable, With its
wide cushioned seat. He says
he has no trouble staying on
it, and is determined to win
the contest.
Kevin didn't come
prepared by wearing extra
sweaters, and has only a
'leather jacket to keep him
warm at night. He says he
drinks a small amount of
whiskey with hot tea to keep
warm.
Kevin is enjoying all
his visitors. After living in
the west for two years, he is
renewing acquaintances
with old friends who drop by.
But despite the visitors, all
three of them have their
complaints, A soft bed, a
warm bath, and just a
chance to ride those bikes
must look pretty good now,
