office.

“Tt seemed like Castlegar was a
weak spot. We couldn’t offer the
best personal service to our‘cus-
tomers here because they always
had to drive to Trail,” Linda

explains,

‘The final decision to open a
branch office in Castlegar was
made in January after Dave
attended a Bob Proctor motiva-
tional course in Trail.

“You can do anything-you
want,” was one of the things

Dave learned. He applied that .

to his and

started planning the expansion
with his partner and wife, Gail,
and the staff.

“Also, we think the timing to
open an office in Castlegar was
critical.”

Location, personnel, what
equipment, and what kinds of ser-
vices would be offered, were just.
some of the ‘ions that

had to be dealt with.

The question of location was
answered when they found their
present location at 1434
Columbia Avenue, right beside
Gabriel's Restaurant. Gabriel Fer-
reux, the ‘owner of the office

block, was most helpful. He

painted the entire office and
ed the floors.

Gabriel has been wonderful
about getting us getting settled
in,” Linda says ly.

Finding the right person to
manage the new office was easy.

include Castlegar. Pictured beside him is Linda Anderson, an employee who previ-

on the selection of paper, the right

job.”

‘Deciding on equipment and
services was another story. Would
Hall's in Castlegar be “just.a
store front” and all the prep work

* would be done in Trail still?

“No. We decided that to pro-
vide the best customer service we
had to be very accomodating and
offer these services right here,”
Linda continues from behind her
neat desk. The office is bright and

thermal faxes, the Canon fax uses
plain bond paper. Old thermal
paper faded quickly but bond
paper is permanent. Another big
plus is that it has the capability of
sending photos in half-tones. It’s
also faster.
“It scans the image first and
;Puts the image into the mem

‘then it automatically dials the

‘number you are sending it to,”
"Linda says.

Anyone can use the fax to send
or receive. A monthly payment
plan is available for frequent
‘users and the cost very reasonable
at $2 per page to send and $1 per
page to receive.

“And when your fax comes in

: we phone you immediately so
you can pick it upr ” Linda contin-

ues.
Behind the’ fax is a brand-new

as 10 cents per copy.

Linda!s extensive five-year
experience in the business is
invaluable for customer's requir-
ing basic design needs, typogra-
phy, layout, and eameracready
artwork.

“But we don’t design logos or
menus. If a customer requires
type of artwork we sub-contract:it
out to one of the local designers! I
do the typesetting on my Mac and
basic design. From here I send-it
to our office in Trail for the final
printing,” says Linda.

“And the turn-around time is
fast,” adds Dave.

In the Trail office Gail Chartres
manages the four presses current-
ly in operation. The three offsét
and one letter press machines are

‘operated by experienced press-

men to deal with the large volume
of work.

Great service and flexible per-

Welcome

In other word, if you move but
“keep your home-and’ start ‘renting
it out, you may continue to desig-
Nate it as your principal residence
for up to four years. (Note that
you - or you and your spouse -
may have: only one principal resi-
dence at‘atime.) °°?

That means that taxable capital
gains clock starts ticking only at

i ‘the end of the four years. Qf your

_ employer transfers you, the four-
year period is extended indefinite-
ly ‘provided you move back home
/apain before selling.)

~. As the four-year rule can also

‘stapply when you move into home

you have been renting out, again
you can'minimize any taxable

‘ capital gain (and -possibly .claim ‘”
the capital gains exemption) - ‘or

However, this’ break is avail-
able only if you move into the
home before selling. It wouldr't
apply if you bought a place to reht
out and then, without ever moy-
ing in, sold. ‘

Karen Long, of Revenue Cana.
da's public affairs division, went
into more detail, providing the
technical references in the Incone
‘Tax Act. t

She used the case of the
woman who bought a house in
1987 as a rental property while
continuing to live with her mother
in mother’s home. In 1990, the
daughter gave her tenant notice
and moved into her house. {

“Assuming the woman didn’t
claim any depreciation - capital
cost allowance (CCA).-.on her
revenue property and had no other
principal residence, she would
have no capital gain to declare at
any point,” Long said...

Subsection 45 (3) of the tax act
allows a taxpayer to elect to delay
reporting | the capital gain until ie
Property is sold.

. Af that election is made, the tax-
payer ma y_then also elect under
Fangioph 34 (@) (ii) to designate

‘the property as her principal resj-

dence for up to four years even
though it was being rented.

If there is no subsequent change
in use - that is, she continues to
live in the place as her principal
residence until she sells it- the tim-
itation concerning principal resi-
dences under paragraph 40 (2) (b)
will result in a zero capital gain. :

“That means the woman won't
have to report capital gain when
she moves into her place after rent-
ing it out for three years,” Long
said.

“When she eventually does
sell, she will report a gain - but
the calculation (for tax purposes)
will be nil.

“However, if the taxpayer hadn't
moved into the home and so hadn't
converted it to personal use; then
the four-year election wouldn’t be
available. In theis case, she’d sim
ply report the full capital gain when
she sold the place.”

Of course, if prices drop, then
you might not want to avoid or
even defer reporting a capitl loss.
You could use the loss to offsét
other capital gains. :

Also, if you claimed deprecia-
tion (CAA) before 1985, you
must report “Recaptured CCA”
when you do change use from
rental to principal residence.
claimed CCA after 1984, then
you must declare the capital gain

Lawyers representing AIDS-
stricken hemophiliacs are target-
, ing a-> subsidiary of the
Rhone-Poulenc Rorer pharmaceu-
tical company as one culprit in
transmitting the deadly virus
through blood product injections.

The legal strategy against
Armour Pharmaceutical Co., a
suburban Philadelphia-based
blood producis company, was
shaped here at the annual meeting
of the Association of Trial
Lawyers of America, the nation's
largest personal injury bar group.

“It's a hotbed of litigation,”

David Shrager, a Philadelphia
lawyer who heads ATLA’s AIDS
litigation committee, told
Reuters. :

A spokeswoman for Rhonc-
Poulenc Rorer Inc., U.S. arm of
France’s Rhone-Poulenc SA, said
the company does not comment
on pending litigation. But she
said Armour, a subsidiary, was
not found to be negligent in two
previous cases,

Ammonr pulled its blood clot-
ting medicine off the market in
Britain in 1986 and in the United
States and Canada in 1987 after
some hemophiliac users tested
positive for AIDS antibodies.

But lawyers who sue Armour
are faced with the difficult task of
proving that their clients were
infected by a product sold by

that Armour was aware of it.
The 65,000 members of the
based ATLA are

responsible ‘for some of the

The group also has members i in
Canada and abroad.

Their efforts have.resulted in
the complex litigation over
asbestos, the Dalkon Shield
intrauterine device and the hor-
mone drug DES (diethylstilbestrol).

During the last five years
about 20 AIDS-related cases have
been litigated to a verdict and
while hundreds more are now
pending.

These involve AIDS transmit-
tal through transfusions, blood
product injections and individuals
infected with the virus, including
health-care workers. .

In this year's meeting, a com
mittee of about 100 lawyers from
the United States, Canada and
Britain gathered behind closed
doors to share confidential infor-
mation on their cases against
Armour and others. i

Shrager, whose firm special-
izes in high-stakes personal injury
suits, has spearheaded litigation
on behalf of hemophiliacs.

He has already filed 10 law-
suits against Armour - most on
behalf of Canadian clients - and
said he has a number of other
cases he is ready to file for
British plaintiffs.
