CASTLEGAR NEWS, July 10, 1983 Number of affairs on the increase MONTREAL (CP) — It took a broken ankle and a trip to the hospital for Alan Harrison to confirm what he had begun suspecting two months earlier — his wife was having an affair with his best friend, Gene. Six years ago, Harrison‘ recalls, his wife Sarah called home from the hospital after breaking her ankle in a car accident. “I'm not alone,” she told her husband of seven years in a strained voice. “Gene is here and he's badly injured.” Harrison (not his real name) rushed to his wife's side where she confirmed she had not gone shopping as in- tended but had gone to meet the man she had been having an affair with for the past year. “I was furious with her,” Harrison said in a telephone interview from his home in Oshawa, Ont. “Not only for her infidelity, but also because she had de- prived me of my best friend.” But the Harrisons’ experi- ence with an extra-marital affair isn't unique. Marriage counsellors say extra-marital affairs are on the rise, and they affect as much as half of all marriages. “The increase has a lot to do with accessibility,” says Oshawa marri: married women on the work force, more spouses travell- ing on business trips, greater family mobility, and a higher tendency to escape financial stress and family worries with sex. But Marlowe, who counsel- led the Harrisons, also says he thinks more people are disclosing their affairs to their partners. Disclosures are often used to indicate something is amiss and, thus, to leave a possible opening for amends, he says. Alan Harrison says he and Sarah consulted Marlowe on his insistence. “Angry though I was at Sarah, I thought I still loved Telephone 365-5210 business direcToRYy New: insertions, ‘copy changes ond cancellations for the Castlegar News Business Oirectory will be accepted up to 5'p.m., July 9 for the month of August.

Sarah went along with the idea, she says, mainly to ease the strain of day-to-day liv- ing. LOVED DEEPLY “At that point, I deeply loved Gene (but) I couldn't visit him in hospital . . . be- cause his wife, who now knew about our affair, stayed with him constantly,” says Sarah, who admits that be- fore the accident she would have left her husband for Gene had he been willing to do the same for her. “I decided to wait. I guess I was convinced he would come for me. E: T realized Keith Marlowe, who spoke recently in Ste. Marguerite, Que., at a conference of the Canadian Association for the Treatment and Study of Families. Marlowe says accessibility is being influenced by such factors as an increase in SunFest it wasn’t going to happen, and through counselling, I began to put back the pieces of my relationship with’ Alan.” The stages of comune te to MOROSO, MARKIN & BLAIN CASTLE TIRE LTD.

By DIANE STRANDBERG Staff Writer In this day and age when the only things a person can be sure of are death and taxes, a seven per cent sales tax on restaurant meals should come as no surprise. But the provincial government's move to charge sales tax on meals costing more than $7 caught local restaurateurs unawares. “They should have let us know a couple of days before so we could have got used to the idea; so we could train our girls. But they didn’t, complained, Columbia Steakhouse manager Roger Barroca in an interview Tuesday. And that was the reaction of most restaurant owners and managers interviewed by the Castlegar News. Although they accepted the government's decree with varying degrees of equanimity, most agreed the new tax would be costly, time consuming and involve extra Ulaeiaies Wong, owner and manager of East Gate Garden, says he's having difficulty re-programing his ~ CASNEWS FEATURE REPOR | a . (of tax) it’s the Not so, Barroca. The new manager of Columbia h is angry that the tax would be imposed just All this bookkeeping gets to be a real hassle,” Wong said. And he says he's not happy with the idea of keeping all the sales slips in case the taxman comes to audit. To Gabe Ferreux, owner of Gabriel's Restaurant, the new tax means more people will be asking for split bills so they aren't charged tax on items they didn’t eat. This, he explained, puts an added strain on the waitresses. But he took the news of the tax change philosophically. “After a month it will be just like all the other taxes; you just put up with it.” as the restaurant industry is feeling its way out of the recession. Last weekend, wheh he started applying the tax he found many of his customers were angry at having to pay the surcharge. “Last weekend was a hell of a deal because all of the customers were mad,” Barroca recalls. As far as he’s concerned, the new tax will mean more headaches as well as possibly fewer customers. “I’ve been in the business 12 years and I know it's a Sales tax surprises restaurateurs hard business. This tax is going to chase customers are Barroca said. “The girls are all upset because they don't understand how to calculate, which means more money and more time to go ahead and calculate it. “They make mistakes and it costs more money. Not everyone's an accountant,” he commented. Over at the Monte Carlo, manager Jojie Sideco isn’t too worried about how the tax will affect her business because most meals are under the $7 minimum. “Well it hasn't really affected us,” she said. “We don’t do much in the over $7 bracket.” Although the Restaurant and Food Services Asso- ciation is advising its members to ignore the tax, Castlegar restaurateurs aren't heeding the advice. None of the locals have received formal notification from the provincial government on tow to apply the tax, but all say they are complying with the new law. that became effective last week. Says Sideco: “As far as the government goes, you'd better do as you're told.”
