Donohoe Brings Michigan Folk Sounds
St. Clair County Community College is bringing more live music to Port Huron with folk singer-songwriter Kitty Donohoe performing Thursday, March 19th, at the college’s Fine Arts Theatre. The Ann Arbor artist, known for her Michigan-inspired songs like “Michigan Waltz” and “Great Lakes Lights,” blends Irish, Celtic, and folk sounds. She’s earned a Michigan Emmy and performed alongside folk legends nationwide. SC4 says the free Noon and Night Concert Series celebrates local culture and connects the community through music.

Police Defend Legality of Post
In Sarnia, police say their post naming a local teacher charged with several sexual offences was legal and not under a publication ban. The update briefly came down over the weekend while officers double-checked court rules. They later confirmed the ban only covered bail-hearing details, not the charges or investigation. The 33-year-old teacher remains in custody after being charged with sexual assault, exploitation, making child pornography, and break and enter. Police continue to investigate and urge anyone with information to come forward.

County Appeals Ruling
St. Clair County commissioners are taking their solar power fight to the Michigan Court of Appeals. The board voted last Thursday to appeal a judge’s decision that struck down county health regulations on solar farms. Circuit Judge Michael West had ruled in favor of DTE Energy and Portside Solar, saying the county’s rules were really zoning laws disguised as health codes. Commissioners say the appeal is about fairness for residents, not cost. The Fort Gratiot solar project has drawn community pushback over noise, health, and property concerns. A court date hasn’t been set.

Surprise Tribute Marks Retirement
After a thrilling 70-68 buzzer-beater win over Pontiac Notre Dame Prep Friday night, Port Huron Northern’s boys basketball team stayed on the court — but not to celebrate. To Coach Brian Jamison’s surprise, the school honored him and his wife, Anna, for his upcoming retirement after 27 seasons. Jamison, a 1991 Northern graduate, has led the Huskies to four league titles and a district crown. He’ll finish his career coaching through the MHSAA tournament before following his two sons’ college basketball journeys at Lake Superior State.
