SC4 names Dion Cox
St. Clair County Community College has tapped longtime Skippers alum Dion Cox as the new head coach for women’s basketball. Cox, who spent over 10 years assisting the men’s program and once played for SC4 himself, now takes the reins of a team he knows inside and out. College leaders say Cox’s deep ties to the community and commitment to student success made him the perfect choice. The Port Huron native says he’s excited to shape a winning culture while helping players grow both on and off the court.

Two Hurt in ATV Crash
Two ATV riders from Cass City were hurt Saturday evening in a crash at North Van Dyke and Seeger Roads in Greenleaf Township, just north of Sandusky. Deputies say the pair, ages 63 and 62, tried turning left and failed to yield to a northbound Volkswagen driven by a Wisconsin man. The ATV riders were thrown from their vehicle and taken to Covenant Hospital in Saginaw with non‑life‑threatening injuries. The driver of the car wasn’t hurt. Alcohol may have played a role, and neither ATV rider wore a helmet.

Parking Rules Stall Homes
Sarnia’s new zoning draft could make supportive housing far harder to build, even as demand keeps rising. The issue is parking rules that may force projects into council hearings, where several housing plans have already been delayed, cut back, or turned down. City data and recent projects show the pattern clearly. A 50-unit George Street supportive housing proposal was scaled down, then rejected, and now heads to the Ontario Land Tribunal in May. More than 900 households needing affordable housing, plus hundreds more facing homelessness.
