Jim Krumel: What’s love got to do with it? Plenty
Jim Krumel
If you’ve been married more than seven years, congratulations. You’ve beaten the odds.
That’s the average length of a first marriage in the United States, according to statistics that popped up on the ol’ computer from LawInfo.com, a Web site that’s full of information regarding the state of marriage today.
And did you notice? It’s talking “first marriage.”
More than half of today’s marriages end in divorce, the Web site said. Most people do give wedded life a second chance, but even then, the road to happiness is sprinkled with potholes. Second-timers stay married only 40 percent of the time. For those who give it a third shot, only 27% avoid strike three.

Letter: Where are all the leaders?
After reading Thursday’s article about the mayoral candidates, I must ask where are all the qualified community leaders?
On the Allen Lima Leadership website it states in their thirty year history, more than seven hundred people have taken leadership classes and graduated. These graduates should be ready and willing to help the community. Whether it’s running for school board, trustees, city and village councils, mayor etc. we need qualified candidates.
The only contest that has had any interest in recent history was the Allen County Commissioner race where many candidates were willing to run for office.
