A 5-year-old Cottrellville Township boy is being called a humble hero after saving his grandmother’s life. Hudson Tenn’s grandmother collapsed at her home in July, and when he couldn’t dial 911 correctly, he put shoes on himself and his 3-year-old sister and walked about three-quarters of a mile for help. He flagged down neighbors, who called 911, then led St. Clair County deputies three miles to his parents’ house. Hudson has received a sheriff’s citation and was honored last week in Port Huron by U.S. Rep. Lisa McClain.

Sanilac County families are being urged to watch for measles symptoms after health officials confirmed the county’s first case in several years. The virus spreads through the air and can linger in a room for up to two hours after a sick person leaves. Early signs include a high fever, cough, runny nose and red, watery eyes, followed by a rash that starts on the face. Anyone who feels sick should call their doctor before showing up in person. Two doses of the M-M-R vaccine offer about 97-percent protection.
