The Sanilac County Election Commission has signed off on recall petitions targeting Worth Township’s clerk and treasurer. Local resident Elizabeth Wineka filed the petitions, claiming Clerk Jennifer Marshall and Treasurer Jennifer Woodruff failed to perform their basic duties. Marshall attended Wednesday’s hearing but didn’t comment, while Woodruff was absent. The commission — made up of Judge Greg Ross, Clerk Leslie Hilgendorf, and Treasurer Trudy Bowers — unanimously approved the wording. Both officials have ten days to appeal before signature gathering can begin across Worth Township.

In Port Huron, recall efforts are targeting Council Members Sherry Archibald and Teri Lamb after their votes changed how the public can speak at city meetings. The petitions cleared a clarity hearing on March 6, meaning signature drives can begin. The changes separate local and non-local speakers and set sign-up rules for public comment. Archibald and Lamb both say they won’t appeal the decision— Organizers have until July 31 to gather 2,427 valid signatures to make the November ballot.

Thousands of tundra swans have touched down near Thedford Bog, marking the return of spring to Lambton County. Each year, the birds travel nearly 6,000 kilometers between Chesapeake Bay and the Arctic, using the wetlands behind the Lambton Heritage Museum as a rest stop. On busy days, up to 15,000 swans can be seen feeding in the fields. Locals can track daily migration updates at returnoftheswans.com or call the museum for viewing times. The museum’s “Return of the Swans” exhibit runs through April 4th.
