Clark quit his job as community relations person for Plymouth public schools in May to campaign full time. Canvassing one of the largest geographical districts in Indiana (touching 20 counties, including the southern half of Kosciusko) has been a daunting challenge. But Clark said he's making an impact. "I haven't raised a lot of money because I don't believe in raising a lot of money and trying to win the election.I'm trying to build trust with the people, and to do that, you've got to go one-on-one with them," Clark said.

Atwood Tire Cleanup Scheduled

ATWOOD -ÊA $4.5 million contract was signed by the state to clean up the largest waste tire site in Indiana, G&M Tire Recycling, near Atwood.
