Betrayal of this kind is the worst kind, The Bible says it is like destroying one’s own flesh. Truly it is The damage isn't done to just our partner but to ourself as well Myth #3; People have affairs because they aren't in love with their marriage partner. Being in love does not protect people from lust. Sex outside the marriage is not a very loving thing to do and it may be downright hostile. Falling out of love is no reason to betray your mate. If people are experiencing a deficiency in their ability to love their partner, it is not clear how something so hateful as betraying him/her would restore it. Affairs may happen when one mate is avoiding turn- ing points in life. Things such as parents dying, childrén leaving home, job success or job failure, any situation in which they must face a lot of reality and grow up. Myth #4: People have affairs because they are oversexed. Get this straight, affairs are about secrets. The infidelity is in the dishon- esty. Oh yes, affairs generally involve sex, at least enough sex to create a secret that seals the secret alliance, This makes the relationship tense, dangerous and exciting. Dr. Pittman says, “Most affairs consist of a little bad sex and hours on the telephone.” Depression leads many people to this secret dangerous activity. It is like a drug that can lift you out of your win up to $50,000. Seniors’ Fall Lottery. It's lottery time again It’s a win-win situation.

PRESENT YOU PHARMACARE CARD AND SAVEII Little jus JA CHARTERS For The Castlegar Sun It's 3 a.m. and I can’t sleep. I had dinner last night with a young policeman and his wife. It is a job which he has wanted all his life and he loves it, but it was obvious he was upset by more than an early awakening yester- day-morning after a late night- shift. Therefore it didn’t take long to find that he was particularly riled by the vagaries of the law, which has more holes than a fish- net. The legislators who weave them and some of the jurists who interpret them. The burr under his saddle on this particular occasion was the outcome of a piece of police work the previous evening. “We had a frantic call from a couple in Calgary,” he said “Their 14-year-old daughter had run away from home, and after some weeks they had had a tele- phone call to say that she was working as a prostitute in the slum section of the city of Van- couver.” Using photographs and descriptions they had received, he and his partner consulted with some of the older prostitutes in the area who suggested they check a certain sleazy hotel. This they did. The clerk, initially uncooperative, admitted when faced with the possibility of ‘con- tributing to juvenile delinquen- cy’, that she did live at the hotel. “He didn’t know she was so young,” he claimed.

Big price to pay. Myth #5: Affairs are ultimately the fault of the partner, He or she is not sexual or emo- tional enough to meet the others needs. Many people do believe infidelity is the answer to an imperfect marriage and therefore, it's the part- ner’s fault. Blame the other guy! Another trick for avoiding personal blame is to blame the marriage itself. It was too early, too late or too soon after some event! Or the partner is too old, too tall, too ethnic, too smart, too experi- enced or too inexperienced! This is both a cop out and a dead end. Note: One marriage partner can make another miserable, but can't make the other unfaithful. Maturity requires that people behave appropriately, however they feel, and they take full responsibility for their actions. The biggest lie in the world is “I can't help myself.” tice in the justice system man’s face twisted in scorn, “She was 14, and she looked 12, for Pete’s sake.” Anyway she was out working but he agreed to inform them when she returned He did. They went back to the hotel and bichon oe the girl and her pimp, who pfotested in all innocence that he had no idea she was so young. She had told him, he said, she was 18. In any case, the girl told the police she wanted to go back to her parents Back at the station where the social workers were waiting, they made arrangements to put her on a bus back to Calgary. Because it was too late in the evening, she was put in the charge of the social workers until the morning. The next thing he heard was the social worker telling the girl, “You don’t have to go home, you know. They can’t make you. You can go anywhere you want.” Whereupon the girl changed her mind and decided she wanted to go to Vancouver Island. Our policeman was livid “What did you go and do that for,” he yelled. “She's a child. She doesn’t know what she wants. Not only have you wasted all the time and cxpense we've had in finding that kid, you've left the parents, who didn’t have any time to come and get her, with nothing. And you have made it possible that she will be the next murdered prostitute to be found lying in a back alley or in the woods.” ESCAPE TO ParApise! with BiestaWest id Victorio* MAUI 7-Nights 14-Nights from——_froen — 558 1349 1689 4 GLOBE reonal service. taxes.

He probably got to go, too. “And talking of murder,” said my friend, “did you hear what happened to the two brothers in the city who kicked a guy to death? He was so badly smashed that he was unrecognizable. The two youths were arrested and charged with murder. One pled guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter. At his hearing, the judge said he had read the poetry the young thug had written while in custody and was so impressed, he felt the would-be poet could be rehabilitated. He sentenced him to two years probation.” Alice would feel completely at home in this Wonderland. In the meanwhile, don’t yell_at that social worker. You could be charged with verbal assault and end up in the slammer. Just mur- der her and get probation. Hope- fully, for the same price, you could include a few lawmakers and judges. Reality can be worse, it seems, than the nightmares found in sleep.
