Five Michigan farm families will be honored in the Michigan Farmers Hall of Fame on September 20th at the Barry Expo Center in Barry County. Among them is St. Clair County’s Tom Durand, known for advancing corn production and supporting local farmers through leadership roles in state corn organizations. Durand grows corn, soybeans, wheat, black beans, and sugar beets locally. Established in 1982, the Hall of Fame celebrates farmers who excel in agriculture and serve their communities.

Port Huron Police have donated a patrol cruiser to kick off a new public safety program at the St. Clair County Technical Education Center. Starting this fall at Woodrow Wilson Elementary near the city’s Central Fire Station, the program will give high school juniors and seniors hands-on experience in law enforcement, firefighting, emergency response, and dispatch. The cruiser will serve as a “classroom on wheels,” teaching students vehicle inspection, communication systems, and law enforcement technology as they prepare for future public safety careers.
