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.

Murder Trial Delayed Until August
Forty-year-old Jennifer Goodall is charged with open murder after police say she shot 23-year-old Chase Hoyt during a domestic dispute at their 10th Avenue home last fall. Responders couldn’t save Hoyt at the scene. Goodall was heard admitting to the shooting in a 911 call. Her trial, once set for March 3, is now scheduled for August 4, with a plea hearing in late July. The delay allows time for state police to finish a blood pattern analysis critical to the case.

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.
