In St. Clair County, health officials are weighing a shift away from some birth control services as funding and staffing pressures grow. Medical Director Dr. Remington Nevin recommends ending certain Title Ten contraceptive programs, citing the loss of a key nurse practitioner and rising costs. He says services could instead move to McLaren Port Huron’s residency program, while over-the-counter options are now widely available. At least five positions could be impacted. A final discussion is set for June 17th.

A truck driver heading into Canada is jailed after a major drug bust at the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron. Border officers say they found more than 60 kilos of cocaine hidden in two boxes inside the cab, tucked under a bunk during an early morning inspection last Thursday. The shipment was mixed in with a load of wood pallets and cheese powder from Wisconsin. Police say a K9 confirmed the drugs. The 27-year-old driver claims he did not know the cocaine was there. He remains held in the St. Clair County Jail as the investigation continues.

A heavy rainstorm in Sanilac County led to a rollover crash last Tuesday evening, leaving a 62-year-old Snover man with minor injuries. Deputies say it happened just before 6:30 on Argyle Road near Germania in Evergreen Township. The man was driving a Chevy Equinox when standing water in a low spot caused the SUV to hydroplane. The vehicle slid off the road and flipped into a ditch, landing on its side. He was treated at the scene and released.
