Two ice fishermen were rescued from Saginaw Bay near Sebewaing Township on Monday after falling into waist-deep water. A third fisherman called for help around noon when he noticed the pair struggling to climb back onto the ice. Fire and Police deemed the ice too dangerous for a direct rescue, so the Huron County Sheriff’s airboat was deployed. Within 50 minutes, the men were safely aboard the airboat and transported to shore for medical treatment. Authorities warn all fishermen to stay off the ice.

Port Huron City Manager James Freed pitched the 50-unit Robin Crest development, calling the housing shortage a “critical crisis.” The county-owned lot, last used by AT&T, was set for a $250,000 sale, though its assessed value is $550,000. Commissioners cited rushed timing, property value concerns, and parking needs. Proximity to the wastewater plant also raised issues.
