Another time, it took four hours.“It was a revealing experience because of all the wide open spaces.I came to realize what a little speck of dust I am in the universe.” The day the two finally left Kansas, a cycling friend of Hingston's commented in Marcoux’s guest book: “It’s about Week 7 By Murielle Parkes Record correspondent Mansonville It’s not as if Jacques Marcoux and Charlie Hingston (aka the two crazy-guys-on-a bike) wanted further challenges.What with unseasonable cold, inaccessible camp sites, costly motel stays, and a major shift of objective from “Cycling the US perimeter” to “Cycling a long loop,” the two cyclists didn’t also need to reach Kansas during tornado season.Especially this year, when pundits are reporting “2008 as the deadliest tornado year in the United States since 1998 .and on track to break the U.S.record for the number of twisters in a year.” Most tornadoes form in Tornado Alley - an area typically defined as the region from Texas north to Nebraska and including Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri.“One day there were 200 sightings in Texas,” noted Marcoux.“There was no way of knowing it would be a record year for tornadoes.” Kansas is famous for its twisters.Ask Dorothy of Wizard of Oz fame, who was swept up in one and set down in the Kingdom of Oz with her dog Toto.While the two crazy guys have not been swept away, their visit to the sunflower state has had them in high alert.And watching the weather channel.“every morning and night,” remarked Marcoux.“We modify our route nearly every day now.” Often times, the alternate roads are more circuitous.For example, the two spent 11 to 12 days getting through Kansas.“It was the lengthiest time in any state,” remarked Marcoux.The original plan was to go south through Oklahoma and Texas, explained Marcoux.“However, we turned east instead.” For the next several days, depending on the weather, the two proceeded in various directions — south, east, south-east, north-east, and north.Midwestern vastness can make for a monotonous pedal.“After two days we knew what Kansas was all LOTO QUEBEC Draw results: 2008-05-31 » 02 09 11 26 1 22 3435 Bonus Winners 2 4B 6 228 7,806 135,871 ¦+ B 93,317 I Total sales Next grand prize (approx I Prizes $1,979,983,00 $47,142.40 $1,024.80 $56.70 $10.00 $5.00 $14.350,014 $3,500,000 Hi'IH.WIl Total sales: 14 16 36 37 38 44 ers Prizes I 0 $2,000,000.00 0 $75,000.00 9 $750.00 491 $75.00 121 $10.00 929 $5.00 _____ $757,356.00 L 4161931 Draw results 2008-05-30 ejM7ia 16 24 30 32 34 37 40 EQtra 05 Bonus 3399570 Winners 7/7 0 6/7 4 B 3 6/7 105 5/7 5,995 4/7 129,380 3/7 4 B 119,817 3/7 1,080,410 Total Sales Next grand prize (approx ) Prizes $2,746,226.00 $62,699.20 $1,791.40 $106.60 $10.00 $10.00 Free play $16,058,426 $5,000,000 It's payday with Jour de pave! $2,000 EVERT 2 WEEKS FOR LIFE!

By the end of week seven, the two adventure cyclists had braved severe weather conditions (including tornado warnings), made major directional changes, and lost a full day’s cycling due to a forced stop.Marcoux had chalked up another 550 km to his travelogue for a total of 3,837 km, plus added nearly 4,500 hits (now at 35,955 with 595 pics) on his website, jrnar-coux 1 .googlepages.com.The two are now in Missouri, having spent the last week travelling between Lyons, Hutchinson, Strong City, Emporia and Ottawa (in Kansas) and Har-risonville and Warrensburg (in Missouri).Missouri marks the ninth state for Hingston, and the tenth one for Marcoux.The two are still in Tornado Alley.Hurricane season starts tomorrow [Sunday].Not to worry.The two cyclists intend to play it safe.Weather Ben by Daniel Shelton Today: Cloudy with sunny periods.40 per cent chance of showers in the morning and in the evening.Low 13.High 18.Tuesday: Cloudy with 40 per cent chance of showers.Low 12.High 18.Wednesday: Rain.Low 9.High 14.Thursday: Sunny.Low plus 5.High 20.KNOW MY Xl'j ZM rt rj ZTt/r !:< O O >: I'M aOIU& TO K-AR0UÜD .ALL SUMMER ' The Born Loser WHM WOULD TOU SKY 6 IKY IA05T K£-DttlKlNG QUALITY, Y CHIEF?CALL.IKE.IF YOU THINK OF SOMETHING, OKAY?$ For Better or For Worse Grizwells 60, Age Wg PEAD/ fyiAM,ToTALLy/J| r I’LL TAICÉ THÉ BELT/ FITTlhlG.f @ .V tlL 1-LW * NEVEk 3AY -PREA^T* J \N\-bA, RM7W!

of work or field of interest in the year ahead, situations will begin to develop around you that will offer greater rewards, advancement and recognition.Keep on plugging.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If you spend all your time on imaginary negative thinking, you will be in for a miserable day.You are what you think, so if you want everything to go wrong, keep up those ugly, depressing thoughts.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Let bygones be bygones when it comes to dealing with an individual with whom you had a past unpleasant experience.If you set a friendly tone, he or she will respond in kind.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — If you fail to be generous with associates who have treated you kindly in the past, your self-serving actions will put an end to any kind of amicable relationship in the future.You won’t get a second chance.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — Review your planned modus operandi before you begin a project, or you are likely to end up doing things the hard way.Sadly, that’ll only compound problems you hope to resolve.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — Should negative developments begin to occur, and you start to panic or make a bigger thing out of them, they’ll be too much for you to handle.If you maintain a good attitude, you’ll take things in stride.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) — Be careful with whom you choose to hang out, because you will be judged by the company you keep.When someone in your clique does something wrong, it makes everyone look bad.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21 ) — A decision you made may turn out to be a bad mistake when it proves to cause more problems than it solves.Should this happen, don’t be afraid to unravel your blunder and start anew.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) — Don’t allow anything to draw you off the established course, or you’ll have to retract all that you did and start over again.You may never make up for lost time.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — Remember that even you have limitations, so don’t try to do something for another that you’ve never done before.Both of you could collapse under the weight of ignorance.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — When it comes to unimportant issues, it is wiser to make concessions and appease another who is taking a rigid position.If you don’t, a major brouhaha could develop that’ll cause real trouble.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Follow the old saying, “If you don’t have anything nice to say about someone, don’t say anything.” This will be especially true at work, where co-workers will dub you a grouch and griper.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Impulsive purchasing may provide momentary fun, but it can turn out to be far more costly than you anticipate.If you don’t want buyer’s remorse, take better control of yourself and your wallet.Monday, June 2, 2008 Which count more: points or tricks?By Phillip Alder Tom Stoppard, in his play “Jumpers,” wrote, “It’s not the voting that’s democracy, it’s the counting.” At the bridge table many players forget it’s not high-card points that decide the result, it’s the tricks that count.Look at the North hand.The opponents pass throughout.Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade, and he rebids two hearts.What would you do now, if anything?That South hand, with two aces and a good six-card suit, is worth a one-heart opening.It is (almost always) wrong to pre-empt with two aces.You have 10 points, with which you would usually make a game-try.Perhaps you were tempted to move with two no-trump.But where are you going for tricks?Partner will not have more than 14 points.And with a really good heart suit, he might have stretched a tad to rebid three hearts.With only a single-ton heart, you should pass out two hearts.Don’t look for thin games with a misfit.Against two hearts, West leads the di- North 06-02-08 A A J 5 2 ¥ 4 ?K Q 7 4 A 8 6 3 2 West
