Caption:
Some 660 minutes of daylight made Wednesday a great day for taking pictures, a welcome promise of things to come for shutterbugs inactivated by days of fog and months of weak winter light. News photographer Jack Stubbs found an unidentified practitioner setting up his view camera and tripod in front of the pillared building at Island Park, then turned his own camera across the shimmering waters of the Huron River to the cloud-backed U-M medical complex to the west.

AADL Talks To: Janis Bobrin

Janis Bobrin
Janis Bobrin

Janis Bobrin came to the University of Michigan in 1969 to study urban planning and quickly became politically active in environmental issues with a particular interest in water resource management. She eventually served six terms as Washtenaw County Drain Commissioner. Since retiring as Drain Commissioner in 2012, Janis has served on numerous regional boards including the Huron River Watershed Council, the Michigan League of Conservation Voters, and Dawn Farm. Janis talks with us about some of the projects she undertook as Drain Commissioner and the many challenges she and her staff faced over the years. She also talks with us about Ann Arbor's ongoing efforts to address the Pall-Gelman dioxane spill and issues surrounding urban planning and density.
