Show page A8 Tuesday, September 12, Davis County Clipper 1995 Avantis Coffee Mouse a place for entertainers w Cherie Huber Contributing Writer Avantis Coffee House at 50 West Gentile in Layton opened in January of this year in the old bank building across the street from Layton National Bank. It has become a place for entertainers to have an opportunity to perform in front of an audience. Comedians, musicians, dancers, magicians, poets and singers have all appeared at Avantis on Wednesday night. To begin with. Sherry Totaro-Rubi- n wanted a place where she could do her own art work and where she would have a place to paint. She also thought the area needed some place where local artists could display their work. She originally thought of Avantis as just an art gallery. When she saw that an art gallery alone would not make enough to cover expenses, she and her sons decided to add food to art and create a coffee house. Now there is a place to get something to eat, a small stage for entertainers and a gift counter. The gift counter has many of the unique pieces of jewelry that Rubin brings back from her trips to California TRAYS FOR SALE: Sherry Totaro-Rubin- , owner of Avanti's Coffee House, uses a variety of ways to show off her talents. She has jackets which have scenes on the back and jewelry she has made, Rubin likes functional art so she creates trays which can be displayed on a wall and which can also be used as elegant serving trays. hand-painte- tax free One-tim- e exemption available ing home because of its age. It may also be in a category or area which will see greater appreciation than your current home. Some long range planning before using your exemption may pay off handsomely. Understanding the ins and outs of the timing can also be important. At least one owner (in the case of couples) must be at least 55 years of age, and have lived in the home three of the last five years (but not necessarily the last three years). e Since this is a exemption, it counts for both parties when used. This is pretty straight forward, but can have some interesting finer points for older persons considering a new marriage. If both are 55 or one-tim- e Because it is a exemption, it makes sense to use it on your most expensive home. Many people own several homes over their lifetime, usually each one larger and more expensive than the last, rolling into their next their gain After purchase. rattling around in a big (and often empty) house with a large yard for several years, a smaller house, patio home or condo has strong appeal. Before deciding to use your exemption, however, check the cost of the next prospective purchase. If its new, you may be surprised at the cost, even though its smaller!

They can exclude a total of $250,000. However, if (A) they marry first and then sell their properties, they will have eliminated one exemption; or (B) one of the couple has already used their exemption, the other partner automatically loses their privilege at the I do. Their tax obligation has significantly changed. As you can see, it pays to check the fine print and follow the details carefully.

But, John Whittaker figured out a way to bring some less fortunate folk into the Fair Family. When the Utah State Fair Director asked the Salt Lake Shelter for help, they sent a group of homeless to apply for jobs which involve everything from painting and gardening to general maintenance and security. job old job back."

Beware of ARMs with big margins in order to prevent your money from being gobbled up at adjustment time. For questions on all aspects of Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) are not all the same, but you cant tell the difference by just looking at ads. Ask a professional mortgage broker to explain the differences. It is dangerous to simply go for the lowest initial rate; you should also look at the index to which the rate adjustments are tied and the adjustment periods options. Do you want a 2, 3, 5, 7. or adjustment? It depends on your circumstance. Be attentive to the maximum adjustment allowed for each period, and the lifetime adjustment cap. Conventional wisdom suggests that you should select an ARM tied to the Cost of Funds Index (COFI) because it moves more slowly than other indexes, such as helping present the 1995 event. Jerry Baker has been homeless since he came to Salt Lake City earlier this summer. He talks about the raw days since his wife died five years ago. With no children to raise, he began to move around the country - landing in Salt Lake City with no place and no money. The Utah State Fair has given him a temporary home. Baker is working night security at the fair, This job is fun, says Baker, and Utahns are very friendly. The fair job has also given him new incentive.
