The American Red Cross is expected to stay at the St. Clair County Emergency Operations Center on Airport Drive in Kimball, just days after officials said it would leave. Homeland Security Director Justin Westmiller says new lease terms are essentially settled, with final county approval likely before the current lease ends October thirtieth. He says the Red Cross brings vital shelter and mass-care expertise during emergencies, making the partnership worth far more than the roughly three hundred dollars a month in rent.

Port Huron Town Hall kicked off its 72nd season with actress Jennifer Grey, who pulled back the curtain on “Dirty Dancing” secrets before a packed McMorran Place Theater crowd.

Grey also discussed stepping away from dance for more than 2 decades before her 2010 “Dancing with the Stars” win.
