Students Shine in First Local ACT-SO Competition
Two Port Huron students are being recognized after making a strong showing at the city’s first-ever ACT-SO competition. Malencia Price earned silver medals in both written poetry and spoken word, while Jamal Waldon took silver in contemporary instrumental music. The event, hosted last Sunday at the Hersey Reinvestment Center, marks a new step for the local NAACP chapter in supporting youth achievement. Organizers say both students plan to attend the national ACT-SO event, as the community now rallies to help fund their trip and grow the program.

Crack Sealing Project
Drivers across Michigan’s Thumb region should expect delays as road work ramps up. The Michigan Department of Transportation is spending about $475,000 to seal pavement cracks on key highways in Lapeer, Tuscola, Huron, and Sanilac counties. Work starts May 11th on M-24 in Lapeer County, then moves through nearby counties, covering routes like M-25, M-46, and M-53. Crews will fix cracks to extend road life and prevent bigger damage. Motorists should plan for intermittent lane closures through late June, depending on weather.
