Port Huron Township residents will now enjoy City of Port Huron parks and recreation programs at the same lower prices as city residents. Township officials approved the new partnership agreement last week. The township will reimburse the city for the fee difference, making it easier and more affordable for families to join classes and activities. Residents must show proof of address, such as a driver’s license or utility bill. The three-year deal strengthens ties between the township and city while giving locals better access to popular programs..

Two Port Huron men are facing serious charges after separate parole checks uncovered child sexually abusive material. Sixty-eight-year-old William Harrison Endicott and thirty-year-old Cody Allen Maske were both arraigned in the 72nd District Court. Each man faces two counts of possessing child sexually abusive material and two counts of using a computer to commit a crime. State police say both were on parole when home visits by the Department of Corrections led to investigations. Digital evidence was seized from each man.

A massive sports and entertainment complex is being planned just outside Detroit, with developers targeting Romulus near Metro Airport. The proposed Motown Sports Village would span more than 450 acres along I-94 and could cost around $3 billion. Plans include a large indoor arena, youth sports courts, hockey rinks, hotels, and even a water park and IMAX theater. Backers say the project could bring thousands of jobs to the area and tap into the fast-growing youth sports travel market across southeast Michigan.

Port Huron police say a pickup truck hit a young boy on a bicycle Tuesday at the busy intersection of Gratiot Avenue and Garfield Street. Officers arrived just before 4 p.m. and found the juvenile alert and talking at the scene. He was taken to a local hospital with what appeared to be minor injuries. The driver was cited for running a red light. With warmer weather bringing more bikes and walkers out, police urge everyone to watch for each other and obey traffic signals to keep our streets safe.
