Although the cold winter is off to a warm start, the mild climate isn’t affecting the number of people seeking shelter from the elements.

The La Nina extreme weather response program in Trail is averaging about three individuals nightly in the six-bed temporary shelter housed in the basement of the Trail United Church.

Open seven nights from 9 p.m. until 8 a.m., two outreach workers from Career Development Services (CDS) open the doors to mostly males between the ages of 30 and 50 years each shift.

However, the demographic is constantly evolving from those who are homeless to women seeking shelter from domestic situations, and those travelling through the area for medical appointments with no transportation back home.

Within the Kootenay

Boundary, Grand Forks houses a seven-bed temporary shelter through Boundary Emergency and Transitional Housing Society, (BETHS).

The five-month service averages six to nine people per night, said operational coordinator Steve McGibbon.

Besides Grand Forks, the shelter serves people in Christina Lake, Greenwood, Midway, Rock Creek, Beaverdell and Bridesville.

Last season, the shelter housed over 450 “bed nights” during the Nov. to March period, McGibbon explained, but last month there were already 120 bed occupied, and workers expect December to exceed that number.

It’s usually about six men to one women seeking help through the temporary shelter.

The number one reason for homelessness is the lack of affordable housing, and secondly is the inability for some to heat their own homes, he added.

Here’s what’s happening at

in

Extreme weather response shelter programs are funded through BC Housing with a temporary purpose to provide spaces to individuals and families who are homeless during winter months when sleeping outside could threaten their health and safety.

Those shelters differ from year-round shelter beds in that the latter usually are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and provide three meals each day.

The nearest shelter for the homeless that offers the service 365 days a year, is the Nelson CARES Society’s Stepping Stones for Success, located at 567 Ward Street.

The shelter reached its 10– year milestone on Dec. 10, and the need for the service doesn’t seem to be slowing down. This year often up to 16 beds are occupied in the site’s 18-bed capacity.

Shelters keep homeless warm this winter continued from page A2

As in the temporary shelters, it’s usually more men than women using the shelter, about two-thirds to one-third, says Klee Hunter, the society’s manager of the Affordable Housing and Emergency Housing program.

“But there is no pattern, to say in the winter there are more people and in the summer there is less,” explained Hunter. “Some winters we are packed, some we are not. It’s just impossible to predict.”

As a key element in the strategy to break the cycle of homelessness, the shelters and drop-in centres are disbursed funding to help connect people who are homeless to support and housing services within their respective communities.

In Greater Trail, a joint venture between the Greater Trail Skills Centre and CDS called Getting to Home, was launched two years ago with a goal to end homelessness in region.

“The project well surpassed our ideas and what we had set forth to do,” said CDS spokesperson Gail Pighin. “We are coming to the end of our funding pool and hope to raise funds as well as awareness that homelessness isn’t a problem that occurs in larger cities,” she continued. “It is alive and happening right here in Trail and the surrounding areas.”

The homelessness initiative began with 28 people on the roster in need of assistance, but by the end of June this year, the program has helped 163 individuals from Rossland through to Fruitvale find a place to call home.

“This isn’t just about picking the person up and saying ‘Here is a house for you,’” said Pighin.

“It’s about looking at the dynamics and what has created this situation and how we can help them be in a better place and get the support they need.”

Single mothers, seniors on the verge of losing housing, youth transitioning out of foster care, brain injury clients and people struggling with

We thought we would just get those guys and get them off the street. But it has turned out to me so much more.

“It’s not the guy you see walking around or sleeping under the bridge and other nooks and crannies in Trail,” said Pighin.

“We thought we would just get those guys and get them off the street. But it has turned out to me so much more.”

One week left until Christmas, which sure came quickly.

If you, like me, thought you still had lots of time to buy presents, then you can officially start to panic. In a bid to ease that terror, I have listed some of the new truck products that came out this year.

Smittybuilt has many off-road items for under $50. R.U.T Utility tool is a foldable military style shovel that has a serrated edge and a double position neck. Storage bag included $20.89. U.F.O is a safety light that is actually an emergency flare with visibility up to a mile

with a built in flashlight. It is waterproof and comes complete with a high capacity lithium battery. $25.69. Have you ever hit the trail and do nothing but rub the dust away from your eyes. Trail goggles will come in handy, made from high impact material, three interchangeable lenses (yellow/clear/gray), anti-fog, anti-scratch and only $28.19.

Rigid industries are the makers of popular LED off-road lights.

Many new models have come out lately including curved versions that work perfectly over the windshield. Sizes range from 20” all the way up to 54” and mounting brackets are available.

Price ranges from $924 - $2149.

Is cold weather affecting your battery’s ability to hold a charge? – CTEK has a battery charger kit that regulates how much power it gives to the battery and automatically slows down when fully charge.

It stands by only giving power when required to maintain your battery for a longer life.

For people having difficulty climbing in and out of their truck, power boards that open automatically when the door is opened would be a muchappreciated gift. Close the door and they tuck up nicely out of the way. They are made from carbon steel and have a built

in anti-pitch safety feature that senses pressure to keep the board from retracting on your hands and feet. $1,325.

Snow is coming and what better way to get it off your driveway than a Snowsport plow. It is an easy to install with a front receiver hitch. Self-adjusting and does not require cab controls.

The Snowsport is a quick and easy solution to snow clearing. $1,816 - $2,205.

Winter debris melting from your car can make a mess of anyone’s garage floor. Tapson has garage mats that are designed to keep mud, slush and other debris from depositing on your floor. Easy to slide outside and

- $289.09 - $317.69 Fabtech is a suspension company and is very popular with the off-road community. They have built a unique item that will appeal a wide range of people. It is a 38,000 BTU pro-

Gifts to take the stress out of winter driving

By Bob McHugh

Yes, winter weather has arrived early this year, but there are some clever new products available designed to make life with an auto less stressful and safer in sub-zero temperatures.

Ranging in price from $9.99 to $159.99 these products could also be a great Christmas gift for just about anyone who drives.

Working with its suppliers, Canadian Tire has helped develop some new auto products that address win-

the 36-inch brush retails for $19.99.

Getting stuck in a friend’s snow-covered driveway can be embarrassing, getting stuck on the side of a lonely highway is far more serious!

The Trac Grabber Car Traction Aid ($39.99) is not a replacement for conventional chains, as it’s not intended for highway driving use.

Easy to use and quick fitting, this traction aid is also far lighter and easier to store in a vehicle than tire chains. A truck version ($49.99) of the Trac Grabber Car Traction

ter driving problems. They’re as basic as scratch-proof snow and ice removal tool that’s easier on your car’s paintwork to a compact and light-weight emergency traction aid that could be a life-saver.

The Garant EVA Snowbrush has a bristle-free brush with a foam head that’s less abrasive on vehicle paintwork. It addresses the negative feedback from customers about conventional snowbrushes and it’s sold in two sizes. The 28-inch brush retails for $15.99 and

Aid is also available. Sold in pairs, a Trac Grabber is attached to each drive wheel, similar to a tire chain (but is much easier to use). It’s designed to supply provide enough traction to release a car (stuck in snow or mud) and get it back on the highway (where it should be removed).

Another good auto safety gift idea is the MotoMaster Eliminator Tripod Light ($29.99). This multi-function light has an articulating head with red LED emergency light and fold-put tripod

Mini Booster

legs that extend for additional stability when placed on the road to warn drivers that they are approaching a

broken-down vehicle. It also features a powerful lithiumion rechargeable battery.

Good vision when driving

is very important in cold weather.

Gifts to take the stress out of winter driving continued from page A10

‘‘

Getting stuck in a friend’s snow-covered driveway can be embarrassing, getting stuck on the side of a lonely highway is far more serious!

Bob McHugh

’’

If you have to park you’re vehicle outside overnight, the Subzero ArcticGuard Snow and Ice Windshield Cover ($9.99) is an inexpensive investment. A hook system secures it inside the car, however, users do complain about it flapping in strong winds. You may also consider upgrading your current headlights to SilverStar Ultra Lights ($59.99).

They promise up to 50 percent brighter light with up to 40 percent more downroad illumination than standard halogen lights.

New wiper blades can also

make a big improvement in driver vision and a set of Bosch Icon Wipers cost from $24.99 to $25.99.

This premium dual-rubber synthetic product claims to last 40 per cent longer than other blades.

If you have a fear of running out of fuel, or a friend who does it regularly or you simply want a peace-ofmind back-up supply of gas for a long driving trip, Spare Fuel ($19.99) is a non-flammable gasoline derivative that is safe to store in the trunk. It’s safe to use in all engines that use unleaded

gasoline, comes with filler tube and it can be stored in your vehicle all-year-round.

The most common winter auto emergency is a dead battery. Yes, you could carry a set of jumper cables and hope that you can get a boost from another vehicle, but that’s not always easy or possible. Another solution is the Noco Genius Mini Booster, GB30 ($159.99). It may seem a little pricey, but this compact yet surprisingly powerful lithiumion jump starter pack is mistake-proof and multifunctional. Offering 400

peak amps it can provide up to seven jump-starts on a single charge. It’s also a

seven-mode LED flashlight and it can be used as a portable recharge (USB) dock

for other electronic devices. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc. ca

Keith Morgan Ask Keith’s media contemporaries to describe his approach to anything he undertakes and you will hear such words as “passion”, “enthusiasm”, “energy and “innovation” used repeatedly.

Never in neutral, the Brit-trained news guy drives projects as he would a finely tuned car, adding the options and features along the way to make the experience as good as it can be.

Indeed, Keith is an innovator in developing editorial content for all media platforms and a master at weaving informative and entertaining material of wide appeal into imaginative revenue generation projects.

He launched his journalistic career in 1975 as a reporter for his hometown newspaper in Blackpool, England, moving to Vancouver in 1980 where he began a 32-year-career with The Province/ Vancouver Sun. Latterly he created such highly profitable and readable specialty sections at the papers as Driving and Sunday Homes.

The multiple-award-winner broadened his media experience by authoring two books, making regular TV appearances, hosting talk shows in Vancouver and Kelowna and writing and executive producing The Province Road Test quiz show for prime time TV. Away from the day job, Keith has donated his creative abilities in support of the Coast Foundation’s Courage to Come Back Awards, the United Way and the Christmas Bureau. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Ian Harwood Ian Harwood has been involved in the light truck industry for the past 30 years. His career started with the opening of a small 4-wheel drive shop in the early 80s. This shop was involved in custom fabrication, complete 4x4 rebuilds, and sales of off-road related products.

This would prepare him for his current position as Manager for Custom Truck Parts, one of the largest accessory warehouses in Canada.

Ian started his journalism career in the late 1090s with a column in a national magazine for automotive enthusiasts.

In the spring of 2005 Ian was approached by a local news outlet to write a weekly column. Wilderness exploring, fishing and four wheeling have been his passion since he was a teenager.

Some memorable moments in Ian’s career are flying in by hto the famous Rubicon Trail in Northern California and driving a 2007 Jeep Wrangler out of the backwoods, up a waterfall and out of the trail to Lake Tahoe.

Twas the Night before Cruisemas ‘Twas the week before New Year’s, and all through the car Components were groaning, it couldn’t drive far.

The tow straps were hung by the work bench with care, In hopes that new parts soon would be there.

The poor old engine had ran out of puff With thick smoke billowing, it needed more than a buff.

The transmission was leaking, the engine misfired Leaving me weeping, from these repairs I would tire.

When out on the lawn there arose a low rumble So smoothly it sounded.

No roughness, no stumble.

“I envy that sound,” I said with a mumble.

Just as I’d feared, prognosis: not good.

When a deep voice behind me said “You did all you could.”

As you can imagine, I turned mighty quick, And there by my work bench, stood my old friend Nick!

A bundle of car parts strapped to his back, He went to my work bench, and opened the sack.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to my ride, And fixed it with love, horsepower and pride!

He started the engine and said with a smile, “This car was worn out, it has been a while!

Enjoy your ride, all shiny and new, For it’s not very often that car dreams come true!”

Then his big block exploded with Flowmaster sound, Nick dropped the clutch, the tires shredded the ground. View the video via this shortI heard him exclaim, as he blasted from sight, ened link: http://bit.ly/1upPtK7 “Merry Cruisemas to all, and to all a good night!” “’Twas the Night before Cruise-
