SAN BERNARDINO - Outside, the February night is dreary and damp. Rain clouds gather on the horizon.

Inside, Roosevelt Carroll oversees "intake" of the night's male residents at the Salvation Army's new Hospitality House emergency shelter.

"They've had a hard time and they need peace and understanding," said Carroll, the shelter's director.

The men outside form an organized line as Carroll does their paperwork.

There is a Clip on charms gentleness - a calmness - about the big man.

"These people need help and I'm here to help them out - to calm their soul," he said. "I know everything's going to turn out OK and I thank the Lord for that."

The Salvation Army's cold weather shelter can accommodate as many as 28 single men each night between October and April 1. The men, who are permitted to sleep on mats on the dining room floor, leave in the early morning before the women and children wake up.

Carroll is on the front line of homelessness, looking it in the face each day. The stories here are gritty, compelling and diverse.

Abuse. Foreclosure. Health issues.

Here, victims of domestic abuse and the bad economy share space with those with disabilities. What they share in common is the need of another chance.

The shelter is a place for second chances, sometimes third and fourth chances.

Tucked into a residential neighborhood a stone's toss from the railroad tracks, the building formerly served as an adult rehabilitation facility.

The newly renovated Hospitality House provides a cold weather emergency shelter to individuals and families who find themselves temporarily in need of refuge.

In addition to the emergency shelter, the facility also serves as a waystation for women and couples looking to turn their lives around through classes, counseling and training.

The 80-bed facility has 21 private bedrooms, with 19 for single women and families and two for full-time staff, as well as a big open activity center for children to study and play.

In all, there is room for 80 to 100 women and children. The women's husbands are also able to stay.

Kathy Brown, women's coordinator, said that while the mothers go to classes, the kids go to tutoring.

"The mothers have seven days to get their paperwork in order to go on the savings plan - they'll need their Social Security, welfare catalog printing papers and EDD (Employment Development Department) to verify their income," Brown said. "Then they give us postal money orders to start their savings and they can stay 90 days."

At the new shelter, which opened Feb. 1, women and families get a seven-day emergency stay before they go onto the payments program, the mandatory savings plan that requires residents to contribute 75 percent of their income - in the form of a money order - into their own account each month, repayable when they leave the shelter.

"While they're here they take classes with the other agencies we work with and can get legal aid, anger management, GED classes, parenting, recovery classes or whatever they need," Carroll said.

Since the mid-'90s, the program has helped resident women and the m

My special thanks to all the nurses, who were so kind to all the patients - nothing was too much to ask them to do, and it was done at once.

RUGBY pundit George Hook unveils his softer side tonight in a film about his trip to Haiti as a volunteer with the Haven charity last year.

Clip on charms

Just three months before the devastating earthquake, which destroyed most of the capital Port au Prince, the Newstalk motormouth joined more than 200 Irish volunteers on a house- building mission in the poorest country in the Americas.

The week-long challenge was recorded by a film crew for RTE.

The film has since had to be updated to take account Thomas sabo charms of the earthquake that claimed the lives of almost 220,000 people.

Hook In Haiti tells the uplifting story of how 260 Irish men and women - skilled and unskilled - spent a week working side by side with locals building houses in Ouanaminthe, a rural part of Haiti on the border with the Dominican Republic. The documentary shows the 68- year-old Hook breaking down in tears as he visits the homes of some of the families who are to benefit from the house-building programme.

During the challenge, the Corkman takes on the self-appointed role of the group's morale booster.

The Haven charity, founded by Cork businessman Leslie Buckley and his wife Carmel, emabarked on their Build It Week on October 25 last year.

Each Prada Replica Handbags volunteer had to raise EUR4,000 and take a week off work to travel to Haiti. The volunteers worked alongside Haven's Haitian workforce with the aim being to build a total of 40 houses within six days. Mr Buckley said: "The blend of Irish and Haitians here on site is fantastic - our two peoples get on incredibly well, despite a distance of 4,000 miles and indeed a language barrier. But the enthusiasm and energy of the volunteers is inspiring." After the earthquake struck the country on January 12, Haven was on the ground in Port au Prince almost immediately.

The charity is building 922 latrines in 10 of the temporary camps set up over the capital to house those made homeless by the disaster.

Haven is now recruiting volunteers to join the next Build It Week to Haiti from April 25 to May 2. Donations to Haven's Earthquake Appeal can be made at or by phoning the office on 01 433 3930.

RECEIVERS have shut down the Lismore Private Hospital and told employees and pat- ients to be out by next week, distraught nurses and pat- ients said yesterday.

Prada Replica Handbags

'Men in suits' entered the hospital on Wednesday, ending months of speculation over the facility's financial situation.

Owners and operators, Daniel Owen and Kerry Ferguson, were unavailable for comment yesterday, despite assuring staff and patients as late as last Friday that the Lismore facility could still 'pay its own way'.

Up to 50 nurses and staff, who haven't been paid for three weeks, have been told they will only be paid from Wednesday and they won't receive their outstanding leave and superannuation entitlements.

"Nurses down there are in tears," said one nurse who rang in late yesterday afternoon asking to remain anonymous. "They don't even know how they will cover their rent and mortgage payments that are due today."

Gina Flemming's ill, elderly mother has been heartlessly ordered out of the hospital.

"The receivers walked in the door and told the everyone to leave by next week," she said.

"What are they going to do? My mother is in the middle of rehabilitation from a serious car accident.

"Are they just going to throw them on the streets and let them get themselves better?

"This is the only place for this form of rehab on the North Coast. It is absolutely unbelievable that this has occurred."

An angry NSW Nurses' Association general secretary Brett Holmes said the situation was an indictment on the owners.

"It is atrocious for patients and nurses to be treated this way," he said.

"I call upon the North Coast Area Health Service to do everything in its power to help these patients and nurses."

The receivers are also winding up Owen Ferguson Health facilities in East Melbourne, Victoria, and Mackay Chanel Replica Handbags in Queensland.

Contrary to yesterday's actions, Morgan Kelly, of Ferrier Hodgson receivers, said it was too early to have a clear view of the future of each facility and that determining the status of employees' entitlements 'remained a high priority'.

"Our key interest is to maintain the highest standard of patient care and to provide a safe environment for all patients," he said in a statement, blaming critical under-capitalisation for the failure of Owen Ferguson Health.

Mr Owen said last Friday that he and his wife still wanted to retire to the Northern Rivers 'if the region would still have them'. Dozens of nurses and patients might not feel so accommodating.

THE credit crunch is affecting people the world round, from farmers in China to householders in New York and Iceland, not just bankers in London, says Rhun ap Iorwerth. He's spoken to those affected at street level in a three-part look at what's happened in the last 18 months in financial terms.

S4C documentary Arian mewn Prada Replica Handbags Argyfwng (Cash in Crisis) traces the history of the financial crash which has affected us all.

It looks at the resulting world-wide recession and offers new ideas on how to manage the economy in the future.

Rhun, co-presenter of BBC's Good Morning Wales radio show, said: The root of everything was our dependency on credit. Financial loans were being pushed through the system like a kind of drug. The drug was duping us to believe that the bustle in the High Street's shops was the sign of a healthy economy.

"But where was the care and leadership of the bankers and managers? Were they hooked on the same drug? The first programme, Y Cwymp, Replica fendi wholesale (The Crash) traces the history of the crash, and investigates the factors behind the chain of events which led to the big fall out in September 2008, when banking giant Lehman Brothers went bankrupt.

As a result of this, the flow of money across the world stopped, which led to the credit crunch.

Rhun, from Anglesey, was BBC Wales political correspondent in Westminster and Cardiff before becoming a presenter.

In the documentaries he goes back to the fall of the Berlin Wall in the 80s, since this was the event which opened the door to a free market across the world.

He also looks at the big economic picture, and also at how we've all contributed to the disaster.

ARIAN YIn the second programme, Y Boen, (The Agony), Rhun visits several countries across the world to understand more about the effect of the recession on the lives of ordinary people, as well as looking at the situation in Wales. He travels to Iceland and to China, where 10 million people are out of work. A new relationship of dependency now exists between China and the United States.

9.35pm, and Rhun will look to days ahead in the last programme of the series, Y Dyfodol, replica balenciaga handbags (The Future), and offers new ideas on how to sustain the planet.

He said: "Filming was spread out over quite some time, though we tended to do it in short bursts. We started filming in Aril 2009 and ended at the Copenhagen summit.

"It is a global look at the situation across the world, and takes a step away from the fiscal policies in Britain.

"We come to several conclusions - we need to learn from what happened in some pretty fundamental ways. The system we took for granted has been shattered."

He believes the future is about sustainability and the green economy.

It's also made him look at his own financial affairs "It makes you aware of the fragility of things," said Rhun, a dad-of-two. "The statistics show we are now a nation of savers, not of spenders."

POLICE in Avon and Somerset have signed up to a scheme to prevent horses that are injured in accidents from suffering unnecessarily.

paper bag printing

The move comes after a horrific incident in Bitton last summer when a horse bled to death because no one could be found to put it out of its misery.

It had suffered Replica fendi wholesale catastrophic injuries after bolting and crashing into a car. Although it could not survive, those at the scene criticised the police for the way they handled the emergency.

They said the officers were unable to find a vet and refused to allow a local farmer to shoot the animal, which eventually died at the scene.

Two local men had to restrain the horse on the ground for 40 minutes to prevent it struggling to get up.

National guidelines had been drawn up more than two years previously to help emergency services in just such cases catalog printing but they appeared not to have been followed in the Bitton case.

As a result of the incident, welfare organisations, vets and the emergency services met at Bristol's HorseWorld and discovered that many 999 call centre handlers were unaware of the Safer Horse Rescues Protocol.

The guidelines include a list of specialist horse vets in each area who can be alerted to such accidents and information on how best to deal safely with an incident. The aim is to ensure the welfare of the horse involved and reassure the public that expert help is on its way.

Clip on charms HorseWorld volunteer consultant Amanda Cranston said: "Avon and Somerset police acknowledging the importance of this campaign is vital and extremely welcome.

"It is, as far as we know, one of the first constabularies to take part and we hope that more will follow its lead."

Brendan James Hartmann's car was stopped at a set of lights about 11.20pm when he heard the vehicle next to him revving.

It was 23-year-old drink-driver James Richardson, who was put on probation when he faced court for the offence on February 8.

Mr Beutel also disqualified the teenager's licence for six months.

This is the first article, full of the excitement and pitfalls of a holiday trip taken on horseback by three men as they trek through Mackenzie Country, the Mt Cook neighbourhood and the Glaciers.

--------------------

APRIL 13, 1878.

[The following description of a three-week holiday trip to Mackenzie Country and the neighbourhood of Mount Cook and the Glaciers, by a party of private gentlemen, has been written for the Timaru Herald by one of their number, and will, without doubt, prove highly interesting to many of our readers. Comparatively speaking, few people have visited the part of New Zealand referred to; and the majority are totally unacquainted with, and have no idea of, the grand scenery to be found around Lake Tekapo and Lake Pukaki; of the wonders of the glaciers; or the majestic surroundings of Mount Cook; and these notes cannot fail to convey a good idea of them.]

Thomas sabo charms

The railway has enabled most persons residing in Timaru to become, in some degree, acquainted with the country on this side of Burkes Pass, so I will not trouble you by attempting to describe the first part of our journey. Our packsaddles and other things went up by train to Albury, and we followed on horseback, leading the packhorse.

There were three of us, namely, a youngster from Christchurch, out for a holiday - a College boy tolerably hardened by football and other outdoor exercises - and Smith, an old South Canterbury settler, while I myself completed the trio.

A single change of clothes, a blanket each with two waterproof groundsheets, alpenstocks, tent and fly and a few billies, one for cooking in, and one for tea, were the principle articles of our outfit.

I had nearly forgotten to tell you about our horses. The packer was a draught mare, able with her load of 120 pounds (54.4kg) to walk easily four miles (6.43km) in the hour. My saddle horse was called an old "screw", but he was nevertheless a Fendi Replica Handbags plucky animal, good on the road, and first class in the rivers. The youngster, let us call him Brown in the future, had a good strong pony, a handsome animal, but shy and fickle as are all her sex, and not easy to catch unless she had a tether rope round her neck. Smith rode a dun- coloured animal called Tartar. He was always up to his work, but was unfortunately of too affectionate a disposition, constantly attempting to get a piece of one as a keepsake, or to put a mark on you with his foot.

We made Fairlie Creek Hotel our place of departure, and on Friday morning, March 8, we put up our packs and got an early start. It was a lovely morning, and we calculated we should arrive at the place we had decided to camp at, over the range, early in the afternoon. We reached Burkes Pass just after dinner, and just as the Tekapo and Albury coach was starting down. At the store we obtained what sugar, &c [et cetera], we required, and passed on. When we got Chanel Replica Handbags to the top of the Pass, about a mile from the township we could see heavy rain squalls passing up the Tekapo riverbed towards the lake, and gloomy forebodings were indulged in.

However, before we had reached the stream that comes out of the hills about four miles on this side of the ferry the sun shone out again bright and strong. I do not know the name of the stream mentioned above, but a curious sight presents itself as you near it. Looking down on your left-hand side the whole plain seems to be covered with the graves of giants. I
