Mercer County
By Shelley Grieshop
Mercer County commissioners this week approved the creation of a Medical Reserve Corp (MRC) to help prepare residents for likely emergencies such as an outbreak of the H1N1 virus.
The MRC is the newest division of the county's Citizens Corps Council (CCC), an organization registered with the U.S. government for aid in disaster preparedness. The MRC will include medical professionals and non-medical volunteers, officials said. [More]

NEW BREMEN - There will be at least one additional well in the community's future as a result of action taken by village councilors Tuesday night.
The 2009 baseball season has been a wild one for Kyle Heyne.
After spending the summer of 2008 playing in the San Diego Padres' organization, moving from Rookie ball to Short-Season Class A, the Coldwater graduate was released early into Spring Training.
Downtown Celina
Wolfy's Pc Wiz has opened in downtown Celina to do computer repairs and eventually offer computer classes.
The business at 121 S. Main St. is owned by Gregory "Wolfy" Robinson of Celina.
Instead of moving to where their jobs were located, a Celina couple has moved the business closer to home.
Armcorp Construction recently was relocated to 8511 state Route 703, Celina, by its president, Tim Rosengarten, and his wife, Mary, who is the company's secretary-treasurer.
