She graduated from Hood River Valley High School in 1974, then attended Oregon State University for four years before starting a ca- reer that included many years as a writer, humorist, professional public speaker and newspaper columnist. At age 50, Vikki was diag- nosed with Parkinson’s dis- ease. After many dark days spent coming to terms with her diagnosis, her natural comic optimism and irrev- erence began to surface and she started writing on her blog about the funny side of living with Parkinson’s. Described as “Er ma Bombeck meets Michael J. Fox,” “Shake, Rattle & Roll With It” is a collection of Vikki’s hon- est – and hi- larious – es- says about the ups and downs of life with a chronic ill- ness. She shows us how to laugh at ourselves by first laughing at her. Vikki un- abashedly shares with us her most embarrassing moments in her battle with Parkinson’s. Vikki says, “Right now, there’s no cure for this dis- ease, and that can be very frightening to a Parkinson’s John Forrest Marker, 77, passed away surrounded by friends and family Jan. 15, 2015, at his home in Mount Hood, Ore.

The Hood River Valley Speech and Debate team took 15 competitors to the Glencoe High School Tour- nament on Saturday, Jan. 17. Senior Dakota Bickle won first place in Impromptu Speaking and senior Lucas Campos-Davis took third in Radio Commentary. Fresh- men Katelyn McAllister and Ruby Patterson made it to the final round in Poetry. Bickle said, “It was a lot of fun. I got four topics and the one that won me was about inconvenient truths — the things that we face in our daily lives we don’t want to, jobs and things like that. It was my strongest speech of the day. “It’s only my second year in Impromptu, so I still have a lot to learn,” Bickle said. “It does take a lot of knowl- edge of historical back- ground and literary refer- ences you can pull up, but as well as being quick on your feet you have to know a lot about current events. It is definitely a fun event.” Campos-Davis’ talk was on “video games as therapy tools.” “I’m better with prepared speeches, and this is the only event when we are not judged on how you hold yourself and look because the judges are in the room but turn away so they don’t see you, as if you’re on the radio,” Campos-Davis said. It’s his second year in the event but his first with this particular speech. McAllister’s set of four poems included “The credit card reported. Jan. 14 — S.W.
