A Port Huron Township mother is set to be sentenced Friday for the 2018 death of her 3-year-old son. Amanda Maison, 34, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and faces a 9 a.m. hearing in St. Clair County Circuit Court. Her then-boyfriend, 29-year-old Maurice Houle, was sentenced last month to 31 years to life for killing Matthew Maison. An autopsy cited blunt trauma and asphyxiation. The case went unsolved for more than 8 years until investigators reopened it in ’25.

St. Clair County commissioners have delayed a decision on an outside investigation into workplace complaints against Health Department Medical Director Dr. Remington Nevin. The Human Services Committee voted last Thursday to table the matter until October, giving corporate counsel time to review complaints and gather more details from the Michigan Nurses Association. More than 1 hour of public comment preceded the vote, with nurses and residents again demanding a third-party review. Commissioners say the issue returns to committee in October.

Lambton College in Sarnia has agreed to let a private developer run its new student residence and collect rent for 99 years, with the building becoming college property only once that term ends. Records show Tilbury Capital and its partners are financing the 311-bed project, valued near 50 million dollars, while the college has already committed more than 16 million dollars toward construction. The old residence will be demolished next year, and the new building is set to open in September next year.
