ANN ARBOR, MI – From a baby being killed in a crash while on a bike ride with its mother, to the University of Michigan stating it would lose millions without sports in the fall, a lot has been going on in the area.
Here are some headlines you might have missed this week.
Baby killed by car while on bike ride with mother
A baby was killed while on a bike ride with its mother in Ypsilanti Township on Wednesday, Aug. 12.
Rescue crews were called at 7:25 p.m. to the area of Lakeview Avenue and Hearthside Drive for a reported crash between a car and a bike.
The mother, a 35-year-old Ypsilanti Township woman, was heading west on Lakeview Avenue, towing the one-year-old in a baby trailer, when they were struck by a vehicle.
University of Michigan stands to lose at least $56.6M from canceled fall sports, officials say
The University of Michigan athletic department could lose $56.6 million if the university is unable to host any athletic events due to the coronavirus pandemic, officials said Tuesday.
And that’s without television and other media revenues factored in.
Officials from the Big Ten and college football leaders have reportedly canceled the fall sports season and will attempt to play in the spring. While there are still many unknowns — like whether other fall sports will be canceled — it would still be a massive blow to Michigan Athletics if they are unable to have any fans in the stands.

Deputies discovered one person in the fight had been stabbed, one had been shot and another had been run over by a car fleeing the scene.
Here’s how Ann Arbor’s back to school plans differ by grade levels
As parents look to make decisions on which learning format they’ll choose for their children this fall, Ann Arbor Public Schools has broken down what school days will look like under each format and grade level.
After announcing it would start the school year virtually last month, the district released three videos Sunday, Aug. 9, analyzing how students will engage with teachers and other students under each of its learning options for the fall: A2 Student Link, A2 Classroom Connect and A2 Virtual+ Academy.
Super Bowl champion, former Olympic wrestler say late UM athletic doctor preyed on young Black men
Dwight Hicks and Airron Richardson consider themselves “Michigan men.” They were elite athletes at the University of Michigan — Hicks in football and Richardson in wrestling — and played their respective sports at high levels even after graduating from UM.
Those Michigan men spoke at a press conference Wednesday morning to tell their story of how they were sexually abused by late UM athletic doctor Robert Anderson, and, more importantly, to show how Anderson specifically preyed on young Black student-athletes.
University of Michigan students can purchase tuition insurance in case they withdraw from school
University of Michigan students have until Sept. 10 to apply for tuition insurance in case they withdraw from school due to physical or mental health illness or injury.
The university has offered tuition insurance in the past, but the plan was dropped by Dewar Insurance Company four years ago because of low participation by students, UM spokesman Rick Fitzgerald said.
However, UM worked with the insurance carrier well before the onset of the novel coronavirus pandemic to bring back the offer to all registered students on the Ann Arbor campus for 2020-21, Fitzgerald said. While not available to them this year, the insurance might be offered to Flint and Dearborn students in the future, he said.
Ann Arbor restaurants try to balance fears of worker safety and economic survival
Many Ann Arbor restaurants are trying to find a delicate balance of how to stay safe, but also stay open.

Meanwhile, restaurant workers are still pleading with Washtenaw County officials to close down restaurants amid fears of personal safety.

Downtown bars and restaurants will be able to expand seating into the streets through September.
City Council on Thursday, Aug. 6 approved the extension in an 11-0 vote for businesses to provide outdoor seating during the coronavirus pandemic until Sept. 21, or until the number of customers is no longer reduced by the state, according to the resolution. Street closures will last from 2 p.m. on Fridays through 8 p.m. on Sundays.

From scrap to treasure: Ann Arbor man shares passion of restoring old motorcycles
Patrick West inspects the antique machine in front of him. He sees a part missing. The paint is damaged, and, before he dismantles it, he’s trying to figure out how authentic he can make this machine look through restoration.
For about 30 years, West’s labor of love has been restoring old motorcycles in his garage. From race bikes to ones produced prior to World War II, the 70-year-old Ann Arbor resident has restored about 10 bikes, with some projects taking years to complete.
