Today marks the 64th anniversary of Chief John MacDonald's passing.

On October 12, 1962, Chief MacDonald lost his life while protecting his community. He was directing traffic during our high school's homecoming football game when he was struck and killed.

Chief MacDonald was a dedicated law enforcement officer who served the St. Clair City Police Department and this community. He made the ultimate sacrifice while doing something police officers do every day, putting themselves in harm's way to protect others.

We will never forget his service and sacrifice. His memory lives on not only through the St. Clair Police Department, but also through the memorial that stands in his honor, the six-foot statue at the Fallen Heroes Memorial in the park along S. Riverside Ave. north of Clinton Ave.

Let's take a moment to remember Chief MacDonald, his service, and the sacrifice he made for the people of St. Clair.

With the growing popularity of electric-powered bikes, it's important for parents to talk with their children about the laws and safety rules that apply to the bike they ride. Not all electric bikes are the same, some may legally qualify as e-bikes, while others are considered electric motorcycles and require registration, insurance, and compliance with motorcycle laws. Taking a few minutes to understand the difference can help prevent citations, reduce the risk of crashes, and keep young riders safe. Before your child rides, make sure they know the rules of the road and where their bike can legally be operated.
