A Port Huron hospital worker has spent half a century keeping the place spotless. Dennis Roberts, of the Environmental Services Department at Lake Huron Medical Center, marked fifty years on the job. Coworkers and friends surprised him with cake, coffee and stories, and he received a gift card and an engraved clock plaque. Hospital leaders say Roberts helps keep the building clean and safe for patients, visitors and staff, and he’s a past Employee of the Year. The hospital hopes he stays on for years to come.

President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Port Huron this Sunday, October 25th, for a midterm campaign rally.

The City of Port Huron announced the visit on social media, saying its team is working to prepare for what it describes as the first presidential visit in Port Huron and St. Clair County history. Preparations are underway at McMorran Place and the McMorran Arena.

If confirmed, the visit would mark a historic milestone for the Blue Water Area, bringing a sitting U.S. president to St. Clair County for the first time.

The rally comes just days before Michigan’s November 3rd election, as campaigning intensifies across the state.

St. Clair County parents can now skip the trip to the health department for school vaccine exemption paperwork. The county launched an online process for the non-medical exemption form. Parents complete the required education online, then receive their certification by email to give to their child’s school or program. County families submit one request per child. Health department staff are still available to answer vaccine questions at no charge. Visit scchealth.co, or call 810-987-5300.
