This month, 13 local police departments are going all in for a good cause with the 13th Annual Pigs 4 Wigs campaign. Officers from Hazel Park, Fraser, Macomb County, Sterling Heights, and many more, are raising money by skipping shaves, sporting earrings, and painting nails. All funds go to Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan, a local nonprofit providing free wigs and support for kids ages 3 to 18 facing cancer, alopecia, and other medical conditions. Over 22 years, Maggie’s Wigs has helped more than 5,600 children statewide.

Emergency crews from Port Sanilac Fire and Sanilac EMS responded, but the driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The sheriff’s office continues to investigate the accident.

State and local officials met with Port Huron Township residents last Wednesday night to share updates on PFAS contamination at Thompson Pond. The Michigan PFAS Action Response Team said the chemicals, often called “forever chemicals,” were found in surface water but not in nearby drinking wells. The site remains under investigation, though officials believe a thick clay layer is protecting groundwater. Cleanup continues across eastern St. Clair County, including soil removal at a former compost site on Dove Road. Residents are urged to follow fish advisories and stay informed as testing continues.
