Redwood Hwy., Cave Junction E-mail: aprilsaromahome@cavenet.com Ehrman gets council seat By one write-in vote, Russell Ehrman is the win- ner for Position 4 on the Cave Junction City Council. Results of the Nov. 2 write-in candidates were announced last week by the Josephine County Clerk’s Office. Ehrman received seven votes; his closest “opponent” was Cassandra Schreiber, who got six. Ehrman replaces Sandi Lund, who resigned several weeks ago. She and her hus- band, “T,” will leave Cave Junction in January after his retirement from Three Riv- ers School District. He is music director at Illinois Valley High and Lorna Byrne Middle schools. They plan to live in Gold Beach. At the beginning of next year, Margaret Miller, who won the Nov. 2 election for Position 2, held by Tony Paulson, will vacate the Po- sition 4 seat, which she’s been holding during the in- terim. Paulson was elected mayor, and will take that seat in the new year. Cohabitation has multiple problems It takes about 1,000 hours to really get to know someone; love at first sight is a fallacy. False intimacy is lust, and in essence practicing divorce. A girl has to con- vince a guy that she is his friend before she can con- vince him of anything else. Here are some facts about cohabitation: *Married families have approximately 20 percent more income. *Aggression occurs much more often in cohabi- tating households. *Identities change when people become sexually active -- men and women experience more depression when living together. *Adultery is a leading cause of cohabitation break- ups. *Some 40 percent of live-ins never marry. *Of the 60 percent who do marry, the divorce rate is 50-100 percent higher than for couples who did not live together prior to marriage. *Some 5 percent of children born to cohabitators will see their parents split up before age 16. *Serious child abuse occurs most often in cohabi- tating households.
