A great day for a great big run – $53,000 raised, and nearly 1,300 runners and walkers – a record setting Yorktown 4 for the Fourth yesterday.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Greg Garrison had a heart attack last week. Sources confirm, however, that Garrison is recovering and is expected to be okay. The heart attack happened at Community Hospital North in Indianapolis. He’s 75 years old. Garrison won the Hamilton County Prosecutor position with 57% of the vote in November to defeat Jessica Paxson.
