Hospital Worker Marks 50 Years
A Port Huron hospital worker has spent half a century keeping the place spotless. Dennis Roberts, of the Environmental Services Department at Lake Huron Medical Center, marked fifty years on the job. Coworkers and friends surprised him with cake, coffee and stories, and he received a gift card and an engraved clock plaque. Hospital leaders say Roberts helps keep the building clean and safe for patients, visitors and staff, and he’s a past Employee of the Year. The hospital hopes he stays on for years to come.

Eagle Rescued Fights to Recover
A bald eagle is fighting to recover just across the St. Clair River from the Blue Water Area. The eagle was found stuck in a tree for hours on Stag Island Monday, with a branch through its wing. Tree climber Justin Nicol sawed the branch off and carried the bird down. Caregivers at a Sarnia wildlife clinic say its chances are guarded, but it is eating well and getting pain medicine. A vet stitched the wing, and specialists are being lined up for more care. For now, caregivers say they are taking it one day at a time.

Trump to Make Historic Visit to St. Clair County
President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Port Huron this Sunday, October 25th, for a midterm campaign rally.
The City of Port Huron announced the visit on social media, saying its team is working to prepare for what it describes as the first presidential visit in Port Huron and St. Clair County history. Preparations are underway at McMorran Place and the McMorran Arena.
If confirmed, the visit would mark a historic milestone for the Blue Water Area, bringing a sitting U.S. president to St. Clair County for the first time.
The rally comes just days before Michigan’s November 3rd election, as campaigning intensifies across the state.
