os __ Castlegar News _wne is. 1986 Queen Rearing course at college Techniques for the propa gation of queen bees was the subject of a two-day work shop June 4 and 5 at Selkirk College in Castlegar. Organized by Holly Ride- nour of South Slocan, region- al bee - inspector with the provincial Ministry of Agri- culture, through the college's Continuing Edueation de- partment, the Queen Rearing course attracted seven bee- keepers from across the Selkirk College region. The course was taught by John Gates of Vernon, who is attached to the Special Crop Apiculture program of the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture and Food. During the workshop the beekeepers — mostly com. mercial honey producers, to- gether with a few avid hob- byists — learned how to introduce bee larvae into specialized comb designed to induce the hive to rear them as queens. “The advantages to rear. ing our own queens are that now we can reduce the risk of importing disease along with the queens coming from United States apiaries,” said Peter Wood of South Slocan, who keeps bees as a hobby. “Also, rearing your own queens is much less expen- sive than importing them.” The workshop attracted two participants from South Slocan, three from Grand BEE WORKSHOP... .

In her report, Richards said that the association ser ved an average of 194 people per month from April 1, 1985 to March 31, 1986. Castlegar and District Home Support Services Association employs between 50 and 60 home support workers each month. “We are very proud of the calibre of our workers and of their interest in and devotion to their clients and our org anization,” Richards said “They are always willing to take training and have shown to us and I'm sure to many of their clients that they are very special people doing a very good job for our cli ents.” She went on to say that on-going training is an im portant part of the society. Richards said that Heather Brady, training committee chairman has been instru mental in planning monthly training sessions in conjunc ‘Answer to Sunday, June 15 C: tion with the Home Support Workers Guild meeting. Subjects covered during the year included: AJcoholies Anaonymous, Hospice (pael iative care), Al-anon, Nutri tion, Diabetic Care, AIDS, Older Person in Crisis. Many home support work ers also attended further seminars which included: Hospice, Mental Health Ser vices for the Elderly and Congress 86, which featured many aspects of service to seniors. In May, home sup port workers attended a seminar on gerontology, as well as initial and upgrading courses in CPR. Richards said attendance at training seminars has been “exceptional.” She attributed this to Heather Brady for obtaining appropriate and interesting topics, instruc tors and teaching materials, as well as to the keen interest of home support workers to better prepare themselves for services to the clients. Home care has increased in the last year and Richards said it appears it will increase more in the coming year. The service is mainly to people who are convalescing or ter minally ill. She added that in most of these cases, specially trained home support work ers are needed. “We are looking forward to a hospice program becoming a reality in our community in the near future and we will be a part of their team in‘the care of terminally ill clients,” WORRISOME OLD TAILOR, FACING TOUGH TASK, KNEW HE HAD HIS WORK CUT OUT FOR HIM WHY NOT HOLD A Panel discussion at NEC The West Kootenay National Exhibition Centre is presenting the panel discus- sion “Are Current Feelings of Western Alienation Valid?” at 7:30 p.m. Monday at the Centre.

CMHC reviews insurance OTTAWA (CP) — Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. has undertaken a major re- view of mortgage insurance, a program that has made the dream of home ownership a reality for hundreds of thou. sands of families over the years. The future of the program itself is not in doubt, and any changes in the cost of mort- gage insurance to homebuy- ers are likely to be minimal. However, Housing Minis- ter Bill McKnight says he would like to explore the idea of the federal housing agency sharing with others some of the risks that are inherent in the program. One possibility is having provincial governments as well as large resource in dustries take on some of the per cent of the value of a mortgage so that banks, trust companies and other mortgage lenders would share some of the risks. McKnight says lenders who know their money is fully costs of providing mortgage i to b s in single-industry resource towns. McKnight poses the ques- tion this way: “When you look at a 25-year mortgage and if you look at a mineral resource that may play out in 15 years, how can we insure beyond the life of the town?” Another possibility is writ- Pp d may scrutinize loan applications less carefully than they should, “and that may lead to sloppy lending practices.” Mortgage insurance guar- antees lenders that they won't be left holding the bag if buyers default on their mortage payments.

Many of the beneficiaries of mortgage insurance are young families who are buy- ing homes for the first time. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. handles the vast majority of the mort- gage insurance written in Canada. It has more than $37 billion worth of insurance in force and wrote new policies on 158,280 housing units in 1985 alone. Basic premiums for home. buyers range from one to three per cent and are nor- mally paid off over the life of a mortgage. If the premium is in the two-per-cent category and the mortgage is $50,000, the cost of mortgage insurance is $1,000. At current mortgage rates, that would add roughly $9 a month to a family’s housing payments over 25 years. McKnight says he doesn't expect to see major increases or decreases in premiums as the result of any changes in mortgage insurance, but there obviously be small changes either way depending on the options chosen. For some of the options, the impact on premiums is almost impossible to assess. One option under study, for example, would be to write insurance for the term of th emortgage rather than the entire amortization per- iod. Instead of paying a fixed rate over a period ‘of 25 years, the rate would change every five years when a mortgage is renewed. Pre- miums would go up or down depending on the cireum- stances at renewal time. Another option would be to do away with individual mortgage insurance con- tracts altogether and have Canada Mortgage and Hous- ing Corp. strike package.
