Jeep Run Raises Funds
Jeep lovers turned out for the annual Polar Bear Jeep Run on Saturday at Port Huron Ace Hardware on Pine Grove Avenue. Hosted by the Blue Water Jeep Owners Club, the event featured fun challenges and friendly competitions — all in one spot so spectators could watch up close. Organizers said the fundraiser supported child abuse prevention programs, Safe Horizons, and holiday help for local families. Everyone was welcome to donate or lend a hand, no Jeep required.

Teen Health Clinic Reopens
The Teen Health Clinic at Port Huron High School is open again after a short pause for a full quality review. Under the direction of Dr. Remington Nevin with the St. Clair County Health Department, the clinic passed its checkup and is now back to regular hours. Health Officer Liz King says the department appreciates the community’s patience during the process and remains focused on transparent, high-quality care for local teens. The county’s Board of Commissioners will review the clinic’s long-term plans later this year.

Grant to Boost Riverside Avenue Safety
St. Clair is getting a big boost for safer walking and biking. The city just secured a $209,000 federal grant to fix a dangerous stretch along Riverside Avenue where the Bridge to Bay Trail enters town. The plan adds new sidewalks and crosswalks for smoother, safer travel near the Pine River Bridge. The funding comes through the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments’ Safe Streets Now program, which helps communities build quick safety upgrades. City officials expect construction to start this fall after state review.
