New Life Christian Academy is inviting the community to its annual Celebration Banquet on March 5th at Alexander’s in Marysville. The evening honors student growth and school achievements while raising funds for long-overdue campus updates. Last year’s event transformed the school’s computer lab—now used daily across all grades. This year, the goal is $50,000 for new classroom flooring, shelving, and learning tools. Doors open at 6 p.m. with dinner and a silent auction, followed by the program at 6:45. Tickets are $20.

The Port Huron Police Major Crimes Unit and Michigan Corrections officers made surprise visits to 25 parolees across St. Clair County last Wednesday. Fifteen followed their release rules, but ten were caught violating parole. Two had warrants in Sanilac County and were arrested. Five had phones seized for suspected sexual material, one had drugs, and another was caught with guns and alcohol. Police say more charges could follow once evidence is reviewed by state investigators.

A winter parking dispute is stirring frustration in Ira Township. A homeowner near Meldrum Road and Dixie Highway says ice fishermen using a nearby lot have brought traffic, litter, and safety worries to his doorstep. He wants the township or property owner to block access before someone gets hurt. But other neighbors say the crowds don’t bother them. The lot’s owners say they’re fine with ice fishermen parking there as long as visitors stay respectful—and so far, police say there’s been no trouble.
