The City of Port Huron is reminding families to clear winter decorations from Lakeside Cemetery by March 31st. Cemetery crews will begin removing leftover items on April 1st, including anything that doesn’t meet rules. Only flowers and patriotic flags are permitted on grave sites year-round. City officials say removing non-conforming decorations helps keep the grounds safe and respectful for visitors. Details and full cemetery rules are posted at porthuron.org/lakesidecemeteryrules.

Authorities in Cass City moved fast last Thursday morning after learning of a threat aimed at the local high school. Around 8 a.m., the Tuscola County Sheriff’s Office joined Cass City Police at the Jr./Sr. High School to investigate. A 19-year-old student from nearby Gagetown was later arrested in connection with the threat. Investigators then searched his home, seizing several firearms as part of the case. Law enforcement says there’s no ongoing danger to the school or the community, but the investigation into the student’s actions remains active.

Ice breaking on the Black River in Port Huron started today. The city moved the start back a day to give crews more preparation time. Drawbridges along Military, Seventh, and 10th Streets will lift as an ice-breaking tug heads from the river’s mouth to the I-94 bridge. Traffic will stop while the tug works through thick ice, and residents are urged to stay off the river. With temperatures climbing into the 60s this weekend, officials hope the effort helps prevent spring flooding.
