On Saturday, April 19, 1958 the Ann Arbor Police Department held a bicycle auction that drew a big crowd of bidders of all ages. The Ann Arbor News took a lot of photos of the event but only three made it into the April 21st edition. The human interest story concerned then eight-year-old Douglas Hehr and his almost-didn't-happen winning bid.
We've published many of the photos that didn't make it into print and hope you recognize someone, maybe even yourself, in one of them. If you do, share your memories with Old News through the Add New Comment feature at the bottom of this blog. Don't forget that you can earn all kinds of cool prizes in the Summer Game when you share your local history knowledge with Old News.
Newspapers have to make tough choices about what photos to publish with articles and how to crop the photo to fit the space available. Old News has a lot more flexibility so we're publishing Mother's Day photos that did and did not make the cut. In one article the photo is cropped but we're publishing the whole picture and perhaps you'll recognize some of the other Ann Arbor High School students.
Although the News usually picked the best photo from a shoot, sometimes we think the others are so darn cute we publish them all. We often don't have names to match the faces and they're too dear to be left anonymous. So if you recognize someone in our Mother's Day photos or have more to add to a story please use the Add New Comment feature to make sure Old News gets the whole story.
Old News has published another trove of photos and articles on the Ann Arbor Police Department that were digitally "ripped from the front pages" of the Ann Arbor News. In June, 1950, Haven Hall was set ablaze by arson. The AAPD investigation led to a graduate student, Robert H. Stacy. Fingered by a girlfriend (who briefly disappeared during trial), Stacy confessed in October, recanted, and was convicted in December, 1950. Many of the photos published on Old News never made it into the Ann Arbor News.
That's also the case with photos involving the murder of nurse Pauline Ada Campbell in September, 1951. The brutal homicide shocked the community and put everyone on edge. It took the AAPD only three days and a good tip to arrest three youths for the slaying. Crowds gathered daily outside the courtroom and legendary News photographer Eck Stanger was granted photo privileges unheard of today.
The Ann Arbor Police Department Online History Exhibit houses hundreds of photos from the AAPD and Ann Arbor News including badges, weapons, and memorabilia from the men and women who were and are the AAPD. We're continually adding to the collection of Ann Arbor News articles about the department, the personnel and policing. There are three full-text histories including Mike Logghe's True Crimes and the History of the Ann Arbor Police Department.
The Ann Arbor Civic Theatre is celebrating 85 years and AADL has launched a new website detailing the history of this award-winning local theater company.
View hundreds photos from the rehearsals, backstages and performances of the plays including never before seen shots from noted photographer Fred Beutler as well as the staff photographers at the Ann Arbor News. The Archive also includes hundreds of posters and programs from plays and over a thousand articles from the Ann Arbor News.
Old News will be adding more programs, photos and documents from the extensive collection at the Civic Theatre in the coming months but we need your help . . . can you identify any of the people in the photos where we don't have names? Everyone knows someone in Ann Arbor who worked in or for a Civic Theatre play, so browse the photos and add your knowledge in the Add New Comment feature. We have identified the lady at your left, that's Gilda Radner.
70 years ago, on April 14, 1945, Ann Arbor News photographer Eck Stanger took this photograph of a service parade in the U-M Law Quadrangle held in honor of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had died two days earlier.
60 years ago, the announcement of the success of the Salk polio vaccine took place right here in Ann Arbor. This momentous announcement followed one of the largest peacetime mobilization of volunteers in American history to undertake the 20th century's greatest public health experiment. Like many other community newspapers, the Ann Arbor News documented the determination of its citizens to fight polio, with feature stories on the afflicted and the swirl of local fundraising efforts to raise awareness, find a cure, and vaccinate area children. Local historian Grace Shackman has written a feature story on Polio in Ann Arbor for our Oldnews site, pulling together dozens of articles and photographs on the history of polio in our community and the announcement of the polio vaccine on April 12, 1955.
Join us on the 60th anniversary, Sunday, April 12, for a special discussion at the Downtown Library with Dr. David Oshinsky, Director of the Division of Medical Humanities, NYU School of Medicine, Professor of History, and author of the Pulitzer prize-winning Polio: An American Story.
On Palm Sunday, April 11, 1965, tornadoes and severe weather tore through the Milan area. Considering that more than 270 lives were lost in the Midwest and 42 in Michigan, it was phenomenal that Milan reported only two injuries and no fatalities. Residents described strange clouds and whistling sounds while the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department reported a collapsed bridge and damage to several businesses. The most typical scenes were crushed cars, damaged homes and destroyed buildings. The News got a first-hand account of the damage to Coldwater from a former reporter. Cleanup began immediately but it was years before Milan fully recovered.
Dating back to the Underground Railroad, Ann Arbor boasts a rich and vibrant history for African-Americans. A wonderful piece about this time in Ann Arbor's history is written by Grace Shackman and can be found here.
There are many African-Americans that created their own piece of history in Ann Arbor. For instance, you can read about Ann Arbor's first African-American mayor, Albert H. Wheeler, first African-American teacher and later principal at Northside Elementary, Harry Mial and his wife, Joetta Mial, Huron High School's first female African-American principal.
O.Herbert Ellis, who passed away last year is notable for being the first African-American to serve on and to chair the Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners. You can read more history and the individuals that created it here.
In the days following the assassination, Ann Arbor held a memorial at Hill Auditorium and Ann Arbor News photographers snapped dozens of photos of townies and students participating in marches and peaceful demonstrations. Here they are, for the first time, from the Oldnews archive.
Halloween Clown
Don't look now, Ann Arbor, but just in time for Halloween, we've unearthed a few frightening photos from our Oldnews vault.
Did you know Ann Arbor had a Haunted Tavern? Or that a roving band of Devil Dogs terrorized Tree Town in the late 1930s?
In 1945, a pirate, some clowns and...a singing cornstalk(?) took over the former WPAG radio station at Main and Liberty, and in 1952 Ann Arbor Civic Theatre conjured up this disturbing scene during its production of The Spider.
We've also exhumed ample evidence that witches, goblins and other monster mites haunted the Burns Park neighborhood in 1951 and 1952. Similar creatures appear in a 1957 JCC Halloween Parade. And in 1964, this vampire stalked Art Fair booths.
So click if you dare, Ann Arbor. You can browse all things Halloween or search the past at Oldnews - your gateway to Ann Arbor's hair-raising history.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
The army officer and alleged collusion in Yemen
03 Jul 2010 01:04 GMT
Lazaro had been due to appear for a bail hearing on Thursday, but a judge delayed his hearing - along with those of four other suspects - until Friday.
The judge ruled that Pelaez, who has US citizenship, can be released under house arrest with $250,000 bond. The remaining suspects were denied bail and will remain behind bars.
Michael Farbiarz, the prosecutor, told the New York federal magistrate judge that he considered all of the suspects to be flight risks.'Sophisticated network'
Global powers still play spy games Video: Confusion over Russian spy network
The group, who were arrested on Sunday in Boston, New York and the Washington area, have been accused of trying to infiltrate US policymaking circles, but have not been officially charged. Donald Howard Heathfield and Tracey Lee Ann Foley, arrested by the FBI at their home after years of surveillance operations, were two of the suspects denied bail. They will remain in custody in Boston pending another hearing on July 16. Al Jazeera's Nick Spicer, reporting from Washington DC, said that Foley asked to be referred to as "person number five" during court proceedings.
"This suggests a legal strategy whereby the accused will say it is up to the US government to prove who they say they are," he said.
"The other thing that the accused asked for was to meet in prison so they could discuss what to do about their children ... there are a number of children involved in this so-called spy ring and some of those are in US federal custody at this point."A court filing said both Heathfield and Foley had claimed to be Canadians, but the former was using the birth certificate of a dead Canadian boy, while a search of a safety deposit box belonging to the latter found photographs of her developed by a Soviet film company.'Extremely thin' evidence
Speaking after the hearing, Peter Krupp, Heathfield's lawyer, described the evidence against his client as "extremely thin".
"It essentially suggests that they successfully infiltrated neighbourhoods, cocktail parties and the PTA [Parent Teacher Association]," he said.A hearing in Virginia was postponed after attorneys for two other suspects Michael Zottoli and Patricia Mills said they had just received new information from prosecutors. Mikhail Semenko, another suspect, had not yet got a lawyer.
Anna Chapman, 28, a tenth suspect, had an earlier bail request denied on Monday.The chances of any of the suspects being granted bail had seemed slim after an 11th suspected disappeared after being released on bail in Cyprus.Cypriot police are now hunting for Christopher Robert Metsos, who purports to be a Canadian citizen.He is accused of being the paymaster for a "deep cover" cell of spies in the US, furnishing them with money and swapping bags covertly with other Russian operatives.Cypriot police 'hopeful'
Metsos was arrested early on Tuesday at Cyprus's Larnaca airport as he tried to board a flight to Budapest but was not deemed enough of a flight risk to be kept behind bars until he could be extradited to the US.
There was no sign of him when Cypriot police rushed to his hotel room on Wednesday after he failed to sign in at a Larnaca police station in terms of his bail."We are disappointed that Christopher Metsos was released on bail following his arrest in Cyprus," Philip Crowley, the US state department spokesman, said.
"As we had feared, having been given, unnecessarily, the chance to flee, he did so."Loucas Louca, the Cypriot justice minsiter, said he was hopeful that Mestos would be rearrested on the island.
"We know his whereabouts roughly from the information we have collected," he said. "We have some information, and I hope that we will arrest him soon."
Police said all exit points from the Mediterranean island were being monitored as was the border with the north of the divided island.

La Mata, on the Costa Blanca in Spain, is an ideal place for a holiday in Spain. The village of La Mata is a typical Spanish village which not only has one of the best sandy beaches in Spain, it also has an excellent street market every Wednesday morning and some brilliant bars, shops and restaurants.
It's hard to talk about La Mata without talking about the excellent beach in La Mata, without doubt, one of the best beaches in Spain is in La Mata - the beach has held the European Blue Flag for several years, for cleanliness, water quality and safety. There a plenty of lifeguards, first aid huts and refreshment kiosks open all day on the beach, and there are sunbeds and parasols available for hire at competitive rates.

"Lovely apartment, excellent quiet location"
Really enjoyed our stay here in June with my 18 month old daughter, husband and my parents. Well equipt kitchen, nice rooms and lovely terrace with BBQ, we enjoyed many evenings dining al fresco. The apartment was not too far from the airport, we hired a car. The urbanisation that the apartment is on is pristine, beautiful gardens and a fantastic pool, we found this to be very quiet. Nice walk down to beach/restaurants and bars. We would definaltly return.

Conveniently located in Bonnyville.Posted Jul 30, 2014
Pros: Good continental breakfast and good comfortable beds.
Cons: Nothing that I noticed
Location: Went for a walk along the lake on the nice path
When booking through the '1-800' number, my call went to Egypt! Was very uncomfortable about the fact the 'call went half way around the world' to book a hotel that was just 2.5-3 hours drive by vehicle. Had to phone the hotel in Bonnyville to confirm my reservation. I am watching my credit card statement for unfamiliar charges. Should have looked up the direct number to the hotel. The end result was a very positive stay.

Close callPosted Jul 21, 2014
the first room smeeled of smoke that entered the ahll way however the second room was in the condition we expected and the only inconvenience was going bac kdown to the front desk to request a different room. The manager did verify our findings and contacted the cleaning staff on their oversight.

I'll totally just go back to my job now, with no loss in enthusiasm or loyalty. It's like nothing happened! Everything is okay. I will continue working for Disney and we'll be best friends forever.

We did get a letter about the security breach, and the offer for 2 free years identity theft protection, so...thanks, I guess? Nothing horrible has happened yet, but as far as I can tell, we don't really have any recourse other than sitting and waiting for bad things to occur. No actionable information provided.
The notice they sent us went out months after they found out about it. Which I'm kind of grumpy about, but at least to some degree makes sense. They don't want to go public with the information until they've locked down as much as they can.
One last gripe: the letter was mostly worded in the "protect our own butts legally and limit our liability as much as possible" sense, not the "we're sorry this happened to your personal information and we want to make it right" sense. Which, I mean, come on. This is an insurance company. That's literally what they do for a living.
The advisory focuses on hardware brands - doesn't mention anything about aftermarket software. Anyone know?
That's an easy fix. Just turn on non-physics time warp for a moment and turn it back off. Bam, no more rotation. Easy as pie.
So far, Valve has become the biggest game distributor in the world by being greedy in ways that end up benefiting individual, common consumers. Their track record is far from perfect, but by and large that's why they have been so successful. It's disconcerting to see them poking their foot in the other greed pools, but if nothing else, they will keep doing The Right Thing (eventually) to try to preserve that image, not because they are glowing pillars of virtue.
It's been fun to watch them teeter about at the peak of their influence, making gradually larger political blunders. I'll be interested to see what monstrous misstep they make that finally wrecks their business. Anyone making bets on how many years out that is?
Magnificent comment. Would that I could mod you up past +5.
10/10 would shed a tear of burning hot wistful nostalgia again.
Well yeah. If you pick randomly from any genre or subculture of music, you're going to end up with unlistenable drek. If you choose something from the top 10% of game music, given an individual's preferences, you'll end up with something pretty good. Also just like any other genre or subculture.
If you've played the game the music is from, however, it might end up being distracting for different reasons. Music forms strong historical associations in our brains, second only to tastes and smells.
"Honey, do you know where we put the city?"
"Pretty sure it's with the keys!"
"It's not with the keys!"
"Did you leave it in the desk drawer?"
"No, it's not there, either! You didn't leave it out in the Honduran jungle again, did you?"
"Try calling it!"
"I can't call it, it's an ancient abandoned city!"
Followed by half an hour of heated argument.
It's interesting to see how Valve his handling being the titan in the game distributors market for several years running. I know that not everything they do is best for the long term health of the industry or their consumers, but this deterring piracy on communication channels they sponsor seems pretty reasonable, and overall they've handled things quite well.
Maybe they can come up with a better way of dealing with it instead of just silently removing messages, though. Maybe wag a finger disapprovingly at the person sending the message and don't even make it look like the message got sent from their end.
I can't decide whether this says more about corporate greed or about the culture of alternative medicine, that these retailers can make such a flagrant mockery of herbal supplements, and apparently get away with it for quite a while.
5 stars, would get caught in time shenanigans again.
Day 35 of insomnia. I only slept for 40 minutes today, with Thync turned up to maximum calming for 6 hours. I still managed to get a few hours of work in with alert enhancement on. Could barely focus. Need more sleep.
I have some guesses about how they're doing their research.
One of my favorite quotes from Alpha Centauri. Glad there are other people out there who like to use it.
They are called computers simply because computation is the only significant job that has so far been given to them.

It's decidedly refreshing to write this Iron & Steel Pinball review, but not for reasons you might think. On the surface it's tempting to think the positive glow is because the tables in the Iron & Steel Pinball DLC are Zen Studios' first two original tables in years. And to be fair, that's part of it. Licenses, even big ones, tend to get tired after a while. But the Iron & Steel Pinball FX2 tables are also two of Zen Studios' best pinball tables in years, which is the real reason for the warm fuzzies. As original … [Read more...]

FCC Net Neutrality Comments from Video Game Industry Stand Alone
The United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) today reversed its Net Neutrality position from last year, redefining its definition of the Internet so the web can be regulated as a utility. In FCC Net Neutrality comments from the video game industry, this would seem to be a victory to U.S.-based gamers. But the industry's FCC Net Neutrality comments seem to be in the minority.
