RUNAWAYS: Ann Arbor
Michigan, The Wolverine State, The Great Lake(s) State, The Mitten. When you think of running meccas in the United States, you don't hear those monikers uttered very frequently. But one day here at Saucony we were looking at elite athlete training hubs and realized that 7 of Saucony's finest spend at least part of the year fine tuning their fitness in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Yes, Ann Arbor. We wanted to find out why this 30 square mile city located 45 minutes West of Detroit has attracted some of our sports' elite, so we met up with them and created a local guide for the best places to run and relax, just in case you find yourself traveling through the beautiful lakes region. Who knows, if you take our advice on where to run in Ann Arbor, you may just find yourself rubbing elbows with Olympians.

Bark for Life Ann Arbor 2013- how we got here!
Bark For Life Ann Arbor (an American Cancer Society canine event) began in 2010, with 25 dogs and 35 people, who came together to have fun with their dogs, and fight against cancer. We raised $565 that year. In 2011, we moved to a larger park, had 11 months to plan, and raised a terrific $5500!!! For 2012, we engaged our dog-loving friends who enjoy running, by adding the Fido 5K Fun Run, moved to an even bigger park, and raised over $16,500!! Now- in 2013, we've improved the 5K by making it the Fido 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run AND Walk, added a Silent Auction and Canine Lure Coursing!!! We cannot wait for Bark For Life Ann Arbor on Saturday, May 4, 2013 at Hudson Mills Metropark. RelayForLife.org/BarkAnnArborMI

Michigan Sandhill Cranes Counted at Dusk, up in numbers
Story by Hannah Ball, video by Tim Jagielo
They come every day around 5 p.m. Hundreds of sandhill cranes with 6- to 8-foot wingspans land on Casey and Jerry Rogers’ property in Deerfield Township on the channel between Bennett and Hoisington lakes. The most recent count by the Audubon Society tallied 501 birds on Oct. 29.
“I thought Jurassic Park landed when I saw all the birds land in September, 11 years ago,” said Casey Rogers. “They look great.”
These gray birds can stand 5 feet in height, with long necks and red featherless foreheads, according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). They’ve been coming to the Rogers’ property ever since they moved there, 11 years ago.
“In the past we’ve had about 800,” she said. “In the evening, you can see a lot them coming in, but they land in different spots in the marsh.”
The birds arrive in the spring, travel farther north, and then return in the fall. “The cranes will leave when the snow comes because they can’t get their food,” she said.
Sandhill cranes prefer wetlands, such as marshes and bogs, much like the junction of Bennett and Hoisington lakes, and feed on frogs, fish, insects, and plant food, like seeds, fruit, and aquatic vegetation.
“And they do this dance,” Rogers said. “They’re amazing dancers.”
This dance is their signature mating dance they do once a year. They will flap their wings, bow, jump, and walk around their potential mate.
“They’re beautiful to watch,” Rogers said.
The sandhill crane population was severely reduced by habitat loss and shooting in the early part of the century, according to the MDNR. However, the population has grown over the past two decades. From 1966 to 2013, the population growth rate has been 10.5 percent a year, according to the MDNR.
Most breeding pairs are found in the Upper Peninsula, but there are breeding pairs near Jackson and Ann Arbor.
The Audubon Society counts the sandhill crane population at the Rogers’ property every year, and found that the population is up from last year.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service coordinates an annual count of the sandhill cranes when they migrate across North America. The two Michigan Audubon sanctuaries are popular destination spots for volunteers who want to help count, according to the Michigan Audubon Society.
At one sanctuary, the Bernard W. Baker Sanctuary in Bellevue, volunteers spotted approximately 3,400 cranes last year in one day.
While a few hundred can barely compare to a few thousand, Rogers said the cranes still attract attention from neighbors and friends. She said they’ve met people who read an article about the birds years ago, and wander around their subdivision looking for the birds.
She happily shows them on her property.
Rogers also wants to invite schools to organize field trips in the area so kids can see and learn about the birds. “I want everyone to enjoy nature as much as I do,” she said.

Wild Weather at Ann Arbor Art Fair
July 19, 2007 - Ann Arbor, MI - Artists and thousands of visitors to the Ann Arbor Arts Fairs had to dash for cover Thursday as emergency sirens wailed, signaling a tornado warning issued by the National Weather Service. Radar indicated that a severe thunderstorm at Whitmore Lake, about 12 miles away, was capable of producing a tornado and possibly headed toward the fair. More than 500,000 people are expected to turn out for the five-day event, which features the work of nearly 1,100 artists and covers about 30 blocks of downtown Ann Arbor on the edge of the Univeristy of Michigan's main campus. The severe weather caused little damage and passed quickly, soon permitting the exhibitors to return to business as usual.
