Market Street Mercantile opened its doors at 8 W. Market St. in Wabash on Saturday, Oct. 22, and has something to offer for nearly every member of the family, according to Lori Thornton, owner.
 
Formerly Lost Treasures in Tyme, the new business model better adds to downtown Wabash growing market, Thornton told The Paper of Wabash County.
 
“I just moved across the street and changed name and I’m carrying some of the merchandise that I had before, but I’m going a different direction as well,” she said.

A body farm has popped up on Heartland Career Center’s campus and the center’s Criminal Justice youth are on the case.

Since Tuesday, Oct. 4, HCC students have been conducting “death investigations” on 13 piglets at the center’s observation space, the Body Farm, as part of receiving a dual-credit, two-year pathway to an associate’s degree in law enforcement and conservation law enforcement through Vincennes University.

The area allows students to monitor the piglets as the specimens experience different rates of decay due to various factors including location, clothed or naked and if it was wounded, according to Leroy Striker, Criminal Justice Instructor.

Joan Haag likes her candy.
 
As a youngster, every time the family would stop for gas on a cross-country car trip to California, she would always go into the gas station under the guise of needing to use the facility. In actuality, she was craving a candy bar.
 
After several of these “bathroom trips,” Haag’s father, Jim Vice, told the family that no one was to leave the car on the next gas stop.  However, she insisted she needed to use the facility, and her father eventually relented. Of course, she headed straight to the candy counter and he bought her candy.

The country is watching Wabash, Deluxe official says
By Joseph Slacian
 
People around the country have fallen in love with Wabash.
 
That was the word Monday, Oct. 17, when Deluxe Corp. Chief Brand and Communications Officer Amanda Brinkman and others involved with the Small Business Revolution returned to Wabash to essentially bring closure to the SBR contest the community won earlier this year.
 
Deluxe Corp. sponsored the Small Business Revolution, which offered the winning community of an online vote a $500,000 makeover. The Minneapolis-based firm used half the money to help six local businesses with both material and non-material support such as advice and business lessons. The other half was used to help improve the downtown area.
