In St. Clair County, health officials are weighing a shift away from some birth control services as funding and staffing pressures grow. Medical Director Dr. Remington Nevin recommends ending certain Title Ten contraceptive programs, citing the loss of a key nurse practitioner and rising costs. He says services could instead move to McLaren Port Huron’s residency program, while over-the-counter options are now widely available. At least five positions could be impacted. A final discussion is set for June 17th.

Drivers across St. Clair County should expect delays this week as multiple road projects began Monday. Crews are working in Casco, Clyde, Columbus, Cottrellville, Kimball, Lynn, and St. Clair townships with a mix of lane closures and full shutdowns. Several roads, including Rabidue, Turner, and parts of Yale and Vine, will fully close for culvert work. Roundabout construction shuts down Shea Road in Cottrellville. Other areas will see intermittent lane restrictions for paving and maintenance. All work is weather dependent, with detours posted where needed.

After eight seasons, St. Clair girls soccer coach Cliff Freeland is stepping down, closing a run that turned the program into a statewide contender. The former St. Clair basketball player built the team on effort and toughness, leading the Saints to a 110-31-19 record with six district titles and three league championships. The team climbed three conference divisions under his leadership and never posted a losing season. Freeland leaves behind a program now set to compete at the highest level in the MAC Red.
