Two fishermen are recovering after a chilly November outing on Lake St. Clair turned into a rescue in Harrison Township. The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were called Monday afternoon after a boat capsized near Gino’s Surf on Jefferson Avenue. Firefighters say both men were pulled from the water and treated for a mild case of hypothermia. The close call is a reminder for local anglers that lake water turns cold fast this time of year, and a life jacket can make all the difference.

Investigators are still working to piece together what led to a deadly crash that killed an East China Township bicyclist in Casco Township last Thursday afternoon. St. Clair County deputies say the 39-year-old man was riding east on Fred W. Moore Highway near Mayer Road around 4 p.m. when an SUV heading the same direction hit him. He died at the scene. The 26-year-old St. Clair man behind the wheel was not hurt and stayed to cooperate with investigators. Deputies say alcohol and drugs do not appear to be factors.

Owners of older Duramax diesel pickups in Tuscola County may want to keep a closer eye on their trucks after two Chevy Silverados were stolen in one week. The first, a dark blue 2005 Silverado 2500 with a for-sale sign, disappeared from a front yard near Van Geisen and Purdy roads late on October 25th. On Friday, a blue 2007 four-door Silverado 2500 was taken near Mertz and Wire Line roads. Anyone with information or trail cam footage can call 911 or leave an anonymous tip on the sheriff’s website.

What started as a 14-team tournament in ’17 has grown into one of Port Huron’s biggest hockey events, and organizers say volunteers deserve the credit.
