Marion Tourism
Diane Watson, the Executive Director of the Marion Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, stopped by to talk about everything Marion.

The Bureau is running the Amazing Treasures II contest this summer. You can win some great prizes just by visiting Marion "treasures" this summer. If you visit at least three, you can enter the prize drawing.

Big things coming up in Marion include the county fair, dog shows, Popcorn Festival, and so much more.

You can get info on Amazing Treasures and events in the area by visiting the Bureau website at www.visitmarionohio.com.

Marion Shooting
Yes, it's true. Marion County Commissioner Josh Daniels shot his wife. Reports say he thought she was an intruder. Luckily Josh appears to be a bad shot and his wife is going to be ok.

WDCM and Marion Online received a copy of the 911 call, but unlike many other media outlets who played the recording, we have chosen to not. There isn't anything news worthy on the recording and it only serves to sensationalize the story. And let's face it, it's sensational enough already.

You can visit www.mariononline.com to read more about the story. A decision on possible charges is expected this week.

Decide To Be Married Day
Getting married is very much like going to a restaurant with friends. You order what you want, then when you see what the other fellow has, you wish you had ordered that.

Here are some other things that marriage means:

• Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering.
• Marriage is not a word; it is a sentence.
• Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
• Marriage is when a man and woman become as one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
• Marriages are made in heaven. But so again, are thunder and lightning.
• Before marriage, a man yearns for the woman he loves. After marriage, the 'Y' becomes silent.
• Do not marry a person that you know that you can live with; only marry someone that you cannot live without.
• Man is incomplete until he is married. Then he is really finished. Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his bachelor's degree and the woman gets her master's.
• Then there was a man who said, "I never knew what real happiness was until I got married; and then it was too late.
• A happy marriage is a matter of give and take; the husband gives and the wife takes.
• When a newly married man looks happy we know why. But when a ten-year married man looks happy - we wonder why.
• Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.
• It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up with the same boss.
• A man inserted an 'ad' in the classified: "Wife wanted." Next day he received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing: "You can have mine."
• When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: either the car is new or the wife.

Weather Kid
Today's Weather Kid from Epworth Preschool & Daycare was Caden. I completely botched his name when he called. I'm sure by the end of the summer I'll start remembering them better.
