Thompson caught the woman as she fell and tried to help her, butshe had a fast recovery when paramedics arrived and refused medicalattention. Then Thompson realized his wallet was missing. Hesuspects the woman had something to do with it.

"It could have been a teamwork thing," said Thompson, adding thathe believes the woman was in cahoots with someone else in the crowdthat gathered around her. "It's just catching the person off guard— the element of surprise."

Thompson, who was carrying his wallet in his back pocket, admits hehas no proof.

"You're in a place ordering some food," he said. "The last thing onyour mind is somebody falling out...I wasn't really aware of whatwas going on behind me."

Thompson, a 51-year-old contractor who fixes up apartments, said hehad just paid for some food at the counter when the woman beganfalling. "I went to grab her so she didn't bust her head on thefloor," he said.

For five to ten minutes, the woman laid on the ground. Her eyeswere closed and she appeared to be losing consciousness, Thompsonsaid.

Paramedics soon arrived and the woman's condition rapidly improved,according to a police report.

"When the ambulance showed up, she all of a sudden was OK and readyto go," he said.

Thompson only had about $20 in his wallet, and has already replacedhis driver's license, he said.

But the next time he helps a woman in distress, Thompson said, "I'mgoing to make sure everything I have is secure."

Born and raised in Vancouver, Gudewill and Matheson, both 29, metnot here, but during a work stint in New York, where they wereworking wallet in marketing and finance. Canucks tend to stick together,and meeting in the bars of Manhattan, the two realized they hadmuch in common.

Both loved B.C. and wanted to apply their Madison Avenue and WallStreet business skills to something they felt passionate about.

"Whenever we came back from New York, we would bring friends fromback east who would be mind blown from what they saw . . . theboating, the fishing, the wildlife."

Having grown up with summer cottages and sailing in the GulfIslands, they realized that introducing the region to a luxuryclientele held much promise. Numerous business plans and muchresearch later, Exposure was launched in late 2007.

The company offers nine customizable itineraries, from grizzly bearwatching and golf tours to scuba diving with six-gill sharks offHornby Island. To get a glimpse into what their customers mightexpect, I joined them aboard one of their signature trips, a fewdays sailing on the 400-ton, 115-ft. Pacific Yellowfin.

A fully refurbished ex-U.S. military expedition yacht, the PacificYellowfin comes with a hefty price tag: Try $55,000 for a weeklongcharter, or around $9,000 a day. For that, a minimum of eightclients can expect to be treated like rock stars, which mightexplain why recent guests include members of the rock band PearlJam.

Four staterooms glisten with polished mahogany, in stark contrastto the functional outward appearance of the vessel. Private chefCatherine Cafiti, who heads the kitchen of one of Whistler's toprestaurants in the off-season, prepares B.C-based dishes that havewowed both guests and food critics. No wonder a culinary cruisestarts at around $16,000 for three days, with everything from fineB.C wines to sword-opened champagne included.

The diesel-powered Yellowfin also comes with a wealth of toys,including speedboats, mountain bikes, kayaks, scooters, a jet ski,fishing, and a well stocked CD, book and DVD library. Onshoreexcursions are encouraged, and five-star picnics greet the end ofhikes, rides and paddles.

According to Nick and Cory, the aim is for guests to relax andforget about the outside world, and if they can't, well, each clockon board is set to a different time to help. Whether it's sailingamong whales in Desolation Sound or anchoring in a quiet SaturnaIsland bay, it's hard to remain stressed about anything when"snacks" include rare sesame ahi tuna and Caesars with freshlygrated horseradish.

DNR cuts may affect your wallet

tuzi — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 09:31:17 +0200

Enjoy your staycations at Illinois state wallet parks this year becausenext year they probably will cost you a lot more.

Camping fees went up this year — costs for sites offeringelectrical service doubled — and don’t be surprised ifnext year you have to pay to get into parks and don’t besurprised if you have to pay more to fish and hunt.

According to a legislative staff analysis, the Illinois Departmentof Natural Resources’ core state funding from the generalrevenue fund was $127 million in 2003, the last year before Gov.Rod Blagojevich got involved with budgets. General revenue was $67million in fiscal year 2008 and would have gone up to $70 millionif not for Blagojevich’s most recent round of cuts. Instead,funding will be down to $51 million.

In 2003, about 2,300 people worked for the DNR; today it’sdown to about 1,700.

Jeff Lampe of the Peoria Journal Star recently reported that themost recent DNR cuts would mean 163 more jobs lost.

“I do know that the General Assembly’s budget as passedwould have begun to reverse some of the precipitous cuts to DNR ofthe past seven years,” said Anders Lindall, public affairsdirector for the American Federation of State, County and MunicipalEmployees Council 31. “But regrettably the governor acted tocut funding for DNR staff even below last year’s levels inevery key area. ... All these divisions will take further cuts tofront-line staff if the governor’s vetoes are notreversed.”

The governor’s latest cuts could close Wildlife State Park, a2,000-acre zoological park near Peoria.

Adriana Colindres of the State Journal-Register in Springfieldreported that the park lost $828,200 in state funding — abouthalf of its operating costs. Unless the governor has a change ofheart or unless the General Assembly overrides the governor’sveto, the park’s future is in jeopardy.

FORT WALTON BEACH - A marijuana dealer had $900 in his wallet whena teenager robbed him at gunpoint, deputies say.

Tykia Lajuan Alloway, 17, of Cypress Street, is charged with armedrobbery, grand theft, and resisting an officer without violence,according to the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office.

Alloway called the victim to "see if he could get some weed"earlier this month, a deputy wrote. When they met, Alloway pulled apistol and asked the dealer and his girlfriend to hand over"everything they had."

That included an unknown amount of marijuana, the $900 and a $200cell phone, according to his arrest report.

Alloway was arrested Monday after a street gang-related fightaround 4th Avenue and 8th Street in Shalimar, lawmen said. He waswalking away from the scene "soaked in sweat" and refused to talkto a deputy, claiming "I don't have to tell you (expletive), I'm ajuvenile," according to the report.

Another fighter identified Alloway and his name matched the one onthe armed robbery warrant.

How does Apple's iPhone 3G compare with...

iTunes computer software that transfers the programs to a dockediPhone or iPod Touch, or directly via 3G or Wi-Fi.

I went nuts loading a loaner iPhone and iPod Touch with software(much of it free). Apps include ones for accessing the Flickr photosite, Facebook social network, TypePad blogging service, Twittermicroblogging service and the Google suite of Web services. There'sfun stuff, too, like a lightsaber simulator and other games usingthe accelerometer to turn the iPhone into a motion-sensitive gameconsole. You will definitely want to try Nintendo's Super MonkeyBall.

APPLE'S NEW E-SERVICES

To make its mobile Internet gadgets even more useful for averageowners, Apple is rolling out its MobileMe suite of Internetservices (subscription required). The goal is to make personalinformation — mail, schedules, contacts, photos, files andthe like — a breeze to access and update anywhere.

That is why there are on-screen switches to activate mail, calendarand contact syncing (Web bookmarks, too) on the iPhone and iPodTouch. Likewise, MobileMe content is viewable in a browser on acomputer, as well as in desktop apps like Microsoft Outlook on a PCand Apple Mail on a Mac. Changes in one place are quickly reflectedeverywhere.

Apple's MobileMe headquarters on the Web is elegant and easy tonavigate, but a bit sluggish and prone to viewing problems (themail interface looks jumbled on small PC screens, for instance). Itfaces stiff competition from Google's Gmail and Calendar, which aregreat. But Apple does a swell job with contacts, has gorgeous Webphoto albums that can be easily updated on any device and includesa generous 20 gigabytes of mail and file storage in its $99 yearlyfee.

If your workplace has Microsoft Exchange — server softwarefor centralized scheduling, contact management and mail —you're in luck. The iPhone and iPod Touch have Exchange support,meaning you can tap into your work info anywhere. I had full accessto my Pioneer Press e-mail, calendar and contacts after punching ina few simple settings.

Bags and jewelry

tuzi — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 09:09:22 +0200

Dave Burgess designs bohemian-style handbags that areenvironmentally friendly, functional and aesthetically pleasingaccessories for the hippie at heart. His handbags are available inan array of rainbow colours accented with delicate formations oftropical flowers sewn into the fabric. These rootsy handbags areideal for carrying your sunglasses and cell phone, going to thebeach or for a long drive on a lazy Sunday, or, for that matter, aclever alternative to the conventional paper gift bag.

The 40-year-old Burgess came up with the idea for the fashionablehandbags while sketching. I always sketch ideas. I was sketching abag and I started to build on it. I mean, you cannot reinvent thewheel so this is my version of a handbag.

He explained that the raw materials include burlap, leather,paints, rivets and a nylon string. The burlap fabric is the baseof the bag cut from a pattern. Its not dyed but comes in a varietyof colours. I used leather to trim and decorate the bag. I alsocreate different varieties of flowers from the leather likehibiscuses, anthuriums, chrysanthemums which I then hand paint invibrant colours and stitch to the bags. Then I run lengths of nylonrope through holes to make a pull string.

Once he has all of the necessities in place, its just a matter offollowing the pattern and letting everything flow: When I have allof the patterns cut out then I assemble the bags and attach theflowers. Thats where skill takes over and everything flows. Theprocess may be somewhat monotonous, but Burgess is pleased with thefinished product.

Most of his handiwork comes out of his workshop at his parentshouse in Belmont. But from time to time he works out of hisTrincity home, making use of his familys helping hands.

Burgess has channelled 20 years of experience in arts and craftsinto a creative career. He studied Non-Precious Jewelry Design atthe John Donaldson Technical Institute.

I always loved art. I started out making mostly copper jewelry.Through sketching and trial and error I experimented with it as ahobby. Eventually it became a business. I always knew that I wantedto own my own business, but I had to find my niche.

His full-time job as an investigations clerk left little time forhis other pursuits, so he resigned and continued to work on afreelance basis while focusing on his business.

His company called Burgess Exclusive Leathers produces handmadehandbags, earrings, necklaces, hair clips and sandals. Hisintricately detailed handicrafts are sold at novelty shops acrossTrinidad including Apodoca at Crews Inn, Sapadilla in TrincityMall, Geopa at the Falls of West Mall, the NEDCO store in thePiarco International Airport and the souvenir shop at the NormandieHotel.

Burgess Exclusive Leathers also exports items to Grenada, Antiguaand St Lucia. I really love the whole Caribbean effect of brightcolours and beautiful flora and fauna. But I try to create thingsthat people can identify as indigenous to Trinidad and Tobago. Toput the stamp on our own country, Burgess said.

Burgess dreams big and hopes someday to take his business to higherheights: I want to go as far as I can go. Eventually, I want tomanufacture in a large way. I want my products to highlightTrinidad and Tobago in a positive light.
