Port Huron shoppers looking to stock the freezer have a new option this week. A traveling meat truck from Backyard Butchers is parked at Clark’s Liquidation and Bins, at 10th and Lapeer. The truck is selling 20 ribeye steaks for $39 while supplies last, plus deals on crab legs. All of the beef is American. Buyers can pay with cash, credit, debit, or EBT. The truck stays in Port Huron until everything is sold out.

A 16-year-old Amish boy has died after a farm accident in Sanilac County, north of Brown City. Michigan State troopers from the Caro Post say it happened around 4:45 p.m. Monday on Stimson Road. Investigators say the teen was baling hay when one of his horses got spooked and the wagon flipped, trapping him underneath.

Newcomers Aubree Mayhew of Fort Gratiot Township and retired Foster Grandparent volunteer Julie McCoy of Port Huron round out the field. The board guides St. Clair County’s largest school district.

Canadian border officers stopped more than $13.8 million in illegal tobacco and nicotine products in August, and three big busts happened at the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron, Michigan. On August 11, officers seized 2,796 kilograms of nicotine pouches worth $2.9 million. Two loose-leaf tobacco loads followed, one on August 14 and another on August 20, each worth about $2.7 million or more. Officials say the money from illegal tobacco often funds organized crime, so each seizure cuts off its money.

A 65-year-old Tuscola County woman is $309,000 dollars richer after a lucky night at Bottom’s Up Bar in Bad Axe, where she turned a few dollars in Club Keno winnings into a Michigan Lottery jackpot. The woman, who wants to stay anonymous, used her small Club Keno prize to buy a Fast Cash ticket. She asked the bartender to scan it, and a fellow bar patron double checked the amount on the Lottery app, which confirmed her big win.
