DIANES STRANDBERG * : : Stall Writer: ‘He’ ‘sno Robin Hood, buta représentative ion aBc, citizen's. group wants to hear any, complaints local residents have about the country's'lending institutions. -° As well, Larry Whaley says he is willing to listen to those with debt problems, “Maybe there are some people who are having debt .problems right’ now: and they. might. need some counselling,” Whaley said in an interview Tuesday. He added that the main purpose of his visit to Castlegar is to “get people's opinions or experiences on the way, in which ‘the credit industry treats people.” : The 98-year-old father of five is ‘vepresenttag the. Commission on Ethnics in the Credit Industry and he will be conducting public hearings at the Catholic Church Hall.’ in Castlegar between 10. a.m. and 4 p.m. tomorrow (Thursday), - The in las month, and since then V ‘Whaley and two of his colleagues have collected 100 written submissions from people with complaints about the credit industry. And he hopes to eventually present these complaints to representatives of both the federal and provincial governments and the Canadian Banker's Association with the idea’ of instituting ‘a code of ethics for the credit industry, “Because the bankers seem to believe that their policies are not hurting anyone, the commission: would. like to deliver a very clear message to the government in B.G., after the election, the federat government. and the Canadian Banker's Association that their ‘policies are hurting people. The way to do this of course is to get these experiences in writing,” Whaley explained. Whaley launched his bid to introduce a code of ethics into the industry after nearly seven yeats as a debt counsellor with the provincial Ministry, of Consumer and Corporate Affairs left him angry with the way lending institutions treated their customers. The straw that broke the camel's back took place recently when Whaley was trying to counsel-a couple facing foreclosure on a mortgage. The husband had been out of work for 18 months and couldn't afford to make the mortgage payments. % “The obvious solution was to keep‘ the family in the house, reduce the monthly payments and reduce the’ interest rate,” Whaley said. Instead, the loan company threatened foreclosure unless the man's father would mortgage his clear title house, The father would then have to pay the couple's mortgage payments. “They (the loan company) weren't satisfied with their ability to destroy one home, they wanted ta be able’ to destroy both homes with the one ‘debt,” Whaley declared. He was so concerned about the policies of the loan companies that.he.asked for a leave of absence from his job as debt counsellor to begin a three-month tour of Canada to try to get enough evidence to substantiate the call for change. Consumer and Corporate Affairs did not grant him the léave of absefiGe so it’s like Whaley won't have a job when he gets home. Meantime, his colleagues, who were to accompany him on the tour, were forced to return to Nanaimo when funds ran out. -. “The ion is by but the donations have not Kept pace with the costs.

ROSE'S RESTAURANT SPECIALIZING IN = RUSSIAN COOKING CELEBRATION The Public is Cordially Invited To the official popening of Maranatha Court Family Housing. 601, Sth Street May 7th at.10 a.m, ‘OPEN HOUSE AND REFRESHMENTS Unique housing project opens y By CasNews Staff A ribbon-cutting ceremony will mark the official _ opening this weekend of Maranatha Court, one of the most unique housing projects ever constructed in Castlegar. The non. profit housing Project built by the Castlegar will provide low-cost rental accommodation for a mixture of disabled people, senior citizens, families and single people. And it will be on display following ceremonies slated for 10 am. this Saturday at 610-8th St. behind Castlegar Primary School. “I's on schedule and it’s on budget,” announced the elated president of the association. Inga Lamont said in a -recent interview that the housing project offers 34 units of one, two and three-bedroom apartments. And she called it, “a first in B.C." because of the mix of family residences and for singles, and retired people. “The idea of the whole thing is to have a family unit where we have older people and young people, families, and teenagers, that's what life’s all about anyway.” explained Lamont. Each unit comes complete with fridge, stove, carpeting a storage area and large closets. And the units are well insulated with double walls six inches thick separated by a mix of liquid concrete and insulation. About half of the units have been rented out at monthly rents of between $390 and $415, not including utilities. The more expensive rents are charged for second-floor apart- ments with private entrances and patios. And while the rent will pay off the mortgage purchased through Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp., Lamont said the association hopes to break even eventually. Then any profits that are accrued will be used for upkeep and to lower the rent. “It’s strictly a non-profit project and we are allowed to build-up profits, but then we have to use that profit to lower the rents,” she noted. ~ _ The project got underway about two years ago when the Castlegar Pentecostal Church became aware of a need for low-cost housing in Castlegar. And with a loan from Morgaard Trust in Vancouver, which was backed by CMHC, the $1.8 million housing project became a reality. Lamont says the association hopes to have all the units rented out by the end of June and interested applicants can Reserve your tablenow for Mother's Day dinner at our fine restaurant where we'll be having special entrees: ©S- - pecially for the great eccasion RECEIVE A pow 1 "Open 4p.m. to 9 p.m., Sun “en Reservations phong 9365-60 FIRESIDE OOM § V 5 MOTHER'S DAY DINING AT THE RIVER! “Your Green and Triple Bean Salad Macaroni and Potato Salad Vegetable and Waldorf Salad Bread and Butter Pickles, Olives and Relish Tray Assorted Cold Cuts Decorated Salmon Roast Tom Turkey with Stytfing Baron of Beef Au Jus Oriental-style Shrimp Scallops Breaded Prawns Filet of Sole Garden-Fresh Vegetables - in a Cheese Sauce Scalloped Potatoes — Mushroom Rice Fruit and Cheese Tray Assorted Desserts $1 15° Children under 8: $5.00 Reservations: 364-2616 bord House of the a YOU'LL ENJOY OUR.
