09.22 From Our Readers

E D I T O R’ S L E T T E R

When writer Ryan Patrick Hooper pitched Sam Richardson for the cover of our Fall Arts Preview issue, I have to admit, my first thought was, “Who?” After Ryan rattled off a list of Richardson’s credits, including acting on and writing for HBO’s Veep, co-starring on Apple TV+’s new series The Afterparty, and, of course, co-creating and starring in Comedy Central’s Detroiters, I put his name to his face and knew we should include him in the feature … but the cover? That’s usually reserved for household names like Dave Coulier, Tim Meadows, and — going way back — Jeff Bridges. But then, Ryan and I agreed: He’s going to be the one we feature before he’s a superstar.

Indeed, in the couple of months since we made the cover decision, we learned Richardson has a role in the sure-to-be blockbuster Hocus Pocus 2 and in July was nominated for an Emmy for his memorable role as Edwin Akufo, the Ghanaian billionaire who tried to lure away Sam Obisanya, on Ted Lasso. Success has not come overnight for the Detroit- and Ghana-raised actor, who started off in Detroit’s and Chicago’s comedy scenes and is well known to many locals, but it appears that his will soon be a name and face everyone recognizes.

Richardson’s interview (page 28) is just one component of our Fall Arts & Entertainment Preview package, our first featuring exclusively in-person events since 2019. I can’t tell you how good it feels to have this feature — and the arts — back. While Detroit’s venues found innovative ways to bring the arts to the public through pandemic shutdowns and restrictions, and were praised for their efforts — referring to programming by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Detroit Opera, The New Yorker declared, “Detroit is dominating American musical life at the moment” — nothing felt better than a return to normal. For me, that moment came in December 2021, when I went to the recently reopened Fisher Theatre to see Hadestown and enjoy the magic of the theater with a (masked and vaccinated) crowd of like-minded musical theater lovers.

This issue also includes the return of another September staple: the fall fashion feature (page 38). This year, the focus is color trends, espoused by richly hued looks and bold silhouettes. Our own art department provided some of the bright colors you’ll find in its pages. Check out our Behind the Scenes section (page 14) for more about that.

In addition to all the events listed in our Fall Arts & Entertainment Preview (page 32), make sure you check out the Detroit Auto Show (page 60) and Detroit Month of Design (page 58) this September — and of course, tune in to the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sept. 12, to see Sam Richardson pick up his first statuette from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

From bubblegum pink to icy blue, we chartered through the palettes in our local hardware store, selecting the shades would pair best with this season’s bright hues. “Most of the time, the art directors stand on the sidelines, but with this feature, our art team can be seen on each and every page,” says creative director Lindsay Richards. “The art team painted every canvas and every piece of acrylic to bring this vision to life.”

WHAT ARTS EXPERIENCES DID YOU MISS MOST DURING THE PANDEMIC, AND WHICH ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS FALL?

Nicole Frehsee Mazur

Rachel Idzerda

Kate Townley

“I started my career writing about music, and through my early 30s I’d typically see multiple shows per week.

That slowed down once I had kids, but my husband and I still made it a point to go to as many concerts as we could — until COVID. Thankfully, we’re back at it: In the past couple weeks alone, we’ve seen Tedeschi Trucks Band and Elton John, with more on deck.”

Nicole Frehsee Mazur is a bornand-bred metro Detroiter who spent 10 years in New York, Denver, and Chicago before returning home a few years ago, to raise her family. Her work has appeared in Rolling Stone; O, the Oprah Magazine; Maxim; and more. She was the editor of Hour Media’s 2019 Metro Detroit Baby and Beyond.

“One thing I definitely missed was the energy of being surrounded by people enjoying themselves at a music concert or festival without worry. I’m looking forward to attending an outdoor concert or two and eventually attending more art-related social events again.

As someone who already worked largely from home pre-pandemic, finding that balance is crucial to not feeling too isolated!” Rachel Idzerda is a commercial, editorial, and portrait illustrator based just north of Toronto. She has worked with many brands and publications, including Starbucks, General Mills, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Globe and Mail, and Variety.

“I missed going to concerts.

Listening to music is always great, but there’s nothing like seeing a live performance. This fall, I look forward to going to art galleries that would’ve been closed during the pandemic and sharing those experiences with other people who appreciate art.” Kate Townley is a content writer for the nonprofit organization Bold.org and a board member for Michigan State University’s chapter of the online magazine Her Campus. Currently a student at MSU, she is pursuing degrees in both astrophysics and journalism, with the goal of becoming a science journalist.

ANNIVERSARY

THE SCIENCE FICTION OF ‘ROBOCOP’¬Thirty-five years after the release of the Detroit-based action flick, much of the once-imagined tech has become a reality

BY KATE TOWNLEY

artificial intelligence we have today is advanced but in different ways than depicted in RoboCop. LOCATION TRACKING

IN JULY OF 1987, RoboCop came to theaters, depicting sci-fi that seemed more fiction than it did science. With cyborgs, handheld tracking maps, memory recording, and killer robots, the film was a sensation, presenting a downtrodden version of Detroit’s future alongside the amazing technology that same future could offer.

Now, just over 35 years after the film’s release, we’re finding that much of the film’s futuristic technology isn’t actually that far off. While we may not be able to resurrect people as cyborgs and memory-wiping is still considered highly unethical, there is complex, experimental technology being developed now that rivals that of RoboCop. Movies like RoboCop have helped inspire scientists who have in turn worked to bring that fictional technology to life. As Rob Spence — a documentary filmmaker known as the Eyeborg (more on him in a minute) — says, “Wild imaginations create these things no one thought was possible.”

And just like that, here we are, 35 years later, turning technology from RoboCop into a reality.

Here’s a look at some RoboCop tech that’s no longer a fantasy.

18

H OUR DE T R O I T.C O M

018_UpFront.Film_HOUR0922_528858.indd 18

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

The AI we see in 2022 is able to serve society by doing things humans cannot, but it is vastly different from RoboCop’s ED-209 — a hulking robot designed to either stop bad guys or blow them to smithereens. The AI represented in RoboCop is more computer-like than brain-like. One of the primary conflicts in RoboCop comes from the fact that the ED209 performs humanlike functions but lacks humanness.

“With machines, it’s difficult to get human nuances,” says Kevin Warwick, a leading researcher on AI and cyborg technology. The

RoboCop has a locator device in his armor that allows his creators to track him. This is done on a small, handheld map that serves as an active GPS locator. While GPS was technically available to the public starting in 1983, the first handheld device didn’t come out until 1989 — and that looked more like a clunky calculator. The GPS on our phones today can do something far more similar to that in RoboCop, allowing maps to track people’s movements. The tracking devices in the film are even shaped like modern-day smartphones!

CYBORGS

A cyborg is someone who is part human, part machine. Cyborgs akin to RoboCop are a long way off, but with people today carrying implanted chips that allow emergency information storage, electronic payment methods, electronic

keys, as well as things like surgical additions that help people experience unique senses, our world is home to many such cyborgs. Today’s cyborgs are still more human than they are technology, primarily using cyborg technology as an aid rather than an enhancement.

THERMOGRAPHIC VISION

Modern thermographs work very similarly to RoboCop’s thermographic vision, the only difference being that our thermographs aren’t a part of the body and cannot see through walls. However, it turns out there are other ways to detect heat signals.

A pioneer in the world of a new artistic field called cyborg art, Neil Harbisson is colorblind, but because of an antenna implanted into his skull, he is able to hear the vibrations of different colors, including infrared.

“It’s a way of transforming technology into senses,” Harbisson says. In that way, he is able to sense infrared radiation, though in a different way from RoboCop.

HEADS-UP DISPLAYS

RoboCop’s eyes are equipped with a digital heads-up display — which gives digital information corresponding to the world he’s observing — that allows him to identify targets, among other things. His digital eyesight is incredible, but this technology is not yet realistic for modern times.

Ocularist Phil Bowen says that eye transplants are decades out, and that’s not even factoring in the digital enhancements.

RECORDING MEMORIES

An incredible feature RoboCop has because of his digital sight is the ability to record his experiences from a first-person point of view. Spence, the aforementioned filmmaker, lost his right eye as a child.

Known as the Eyeborg, Spence has a unique prosthetic eye that houses a small video camera. He can’t see from that eye, but it can capture footage from a first-person point of view that then connects to other devices.

In Like a Lion, 82,000 Out Like a ???

The approximate number of Detroit households that signed up for discounted internet access through the $7.17 billion federal Emergency Connectivity Fund since its launch in 2021, according to the FCC. Almost 70 percent of students in Detroit didn’t have access to the internet at home in 2019, according to the most recently available data reported by The Detroit News.

62%

The share of public school teachers in Michigan who are over age 40, according to MI School Data, a reflection of school districts’ struggle to hire younger teachers for a job with starting pay of around $37,000. There are 26 disciplines on Michigan’s critical shortage list, including physical education, art, music, elementary education, language arts, psychology, and social studies.

$700

million

The amount approved by Detroit’s school board for construction efforts.

The sum includes $281 million to rebuild five schools, $296 million for renovations, and $128 million to expand pre-K, reopen shuttered facilities, add onto existing schools, and demolish or sell some vacant buildings, according to Chalkbeat.

Will a fortified defense give Dan Campbell the bite he has promised?

BY JERRY GREEN

COACH DAN CAMPBELL’S one-year pass has expired. His warning to the rest of the NFL that the team is “going to bite a kneecap off” was clever and challenging. It achieved national publicity and recognition. But three victories plus a tie did not accomplish much to satisfy the hungry multitudes.

Still, Campbell did earn another season of favor with his attitude as a rookie head coach. He impressed with the combative nature of his athletes.

Since the April 2022 NFL draft, when the Lions fortified defense and offense with vaunted Aidan Hutchinson and mercurial Jameson Williams, there has been unstinting praise for the selections. A variety of league handicappers lauded the Lions as “vastly improved,” “sleepers,” and “interesting” with the addition of their two first-round picks.

In most other years, the Lions’ draft performances were condemned as dubious. And that mediocrity was reflected in the results.

Brad Holmes — without the grooming from Bill Belichick — has managed two superior drafts in succession as general manager. He has earnestly been trying to build the Lions from an abyss.

That abyss is now 65 years old.

It was at least 40 years ago that this cynic doomed the Lions to a 2-12 season on a broadcast on WJR. I had not yet left the studio when the telephone rang, and I was chastened by a critic.

“At least let us start 0 and 0,” said William Clay Ford, the club owner, with a justified shred of advice.

Nonetheless, predictions are an annual folly.

Hardened by negativity since 1957, I step forward this year with caution. I figure the Lions must be improved. But I cannot ride the glory bandwagon, and I am a professional journalist who lacks a fan’s optimism.

I figure the Lions remain a work in progress.

The legitimate target for this season ought to be a record of 8-9, maybe 9-8. They could, with a decent offense, provide a ripple of hope for the postseason.

Hutchinson proved that he is championship quality as last season’s leader at the University of Michigan. The Lions have acquired an accomplished pass rusher who should have immediate impact as a pro on a needy defense.

DETROIT LIONS REY DEL RIO/GETTY IMAGES

019_UpFront.Sports_HOUR0922_529716.indd 19

Here’s hoping we see more postgame photos like this one. 

“You can never tell for sure,” Campbell told sportswriters while raving about Hutchinson in the preseason. “His DNA says that he’s going to do everything he can to be successful, and he’s got enough ability and enough strength … to go out there and help us win some games.”

Yet the road from Michigan Stadium to Ford Field is crammed with speed bumps.

The offense offers a secure blocking line and a bolstered receiving corps built up by Holmes’ drafting of Williams and free agent signing of wide receiver D.J. Chark. A year ago, the receiving department was threadbare compared with playoff teams’. Unsung rookie Amon-Ra St. Brown became a star and was, in my opinion, the Lions’ best story of the season.

Professional football is a team game — a team game that focuses on individuals. Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, and, oops, Matthew Stafford.

The precious quarterbacks!

Jared Goff will eternally be known in Detroit as the quarterback who succeeded Stafford, who became the Super Bowl LVI champion in his first season of escape from captivity.

Goff enters the 2022 season with a bull’s-eye on his back.

And to me, the Lions’ success or failure this season, when victories and defeats are added to 0-0, hinges clearly on Goff.

MADE IN MICHIGAN

DOWN UNDER DELICACIES

On the other side of the globe, a metro Detroit native uses his culinary talents to make incredibly unique dishes

BY SCOT T ATKI NSO N ILLUSTRATION BY RACHE L I D ZER DA

SITTING IN HIS OFFICE in a hundredyear-old building in the center of a botanical garden on the other side of the world, chef and metro Detroit native Justin James is sharing how he ended up there.

After a career in some of the highest-rated restaurants in the world, he’s now chef of Restaurant Botanic in Adelaide, Australia — called “a revelation” by The Australian, which gave it a five-star review, and named South Australia’s Restaurant of the Year by Gourmet Traveller, among other accolades — and stretching his culinary creativity to the max. Sitting in the middle of a 51-hectare botanical garden, the restaurant is designed to feel like it’s an extension of its surroundings, from its decor to its menu.

With a special agreement with the Adelaide Botanic Garden to harvest from the garden, James and his team use the gathered ingredients to make the restaurant truly unique — on and off the menu.

Speaking with Hour Detroit in the Australian autumn, he mentions that leaves are scattered on the floor of the restaurant, bringing the feeling of being out in the garden indoors.

Then there’s the food, influenced not only by the garden but by Australian culture.

James’ “Garden Trail” menu features ingredients foraged from the Botanic Garden, such as the paperbark in which abalone is smoked with boab, Geraldton wax, and sea urchin hot sauce.

James says he emulates a technique taken from Aboriginal culture, using the bark of the paperbark tree to “wrap fish, throw it in the fire with steam in there,” he says. “It comes out to the guests in the bark, and you open it up.”

James grew up in Oxford, Michigan, and always loved cooking. By the time he was 13, he was cooking his family’s entire Thanksgiving meal. He went to college unsure about what to study and took classes in engineering before deciding to follow his true passion and attending the New England Culinary Institute in Vermont.

From there, his career skyrocketed. He was quickly working at high-end New York restaurants like Blue Hill, which has been named among the 50 best restaurants in the world. After that, he made his way to other fine-dining restaurants in Arizona and Florida before deciding that to be a truly great chef, he needed to travel.

“Well, where’s the farthest place in the world?” he remembers asking himself. He chose Australia in part because his dad had traveled there. He was also chasing down other restaurants on that top-50 list and knew of one in Melbourne: Attica. He got a job there and within nine months was the executive chef. He later moved to Copenhagen to work at Noma, once rated the best restaurant in the world, but after about a year, he started to miss that laidback Australian lifestyle.

That led him to Restaurant Botanic in 2021, where he’s letting his curiosity and creativity wild and, it seems, having the time of his life.

STUDY BREAKS

Intriguing findings from researchers across Michigan

By Steve Friess HOT OCEAN ONCE COVERED AMERICA: Our continent was partially covered some 95 million years ago with a shallow sea about as warm as that found in modern times in the tropics, according to a study in the journal Geology. Geologist Matt Jones, a former University of Michigan postdoctoral

20

researcher now at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History, and coauthor Allison Curley used a method of analyzing 29 well-preserved fossils of oyster shells to determine the temperature of the water they once dwelled in back in the Cretaceous Period, one of Earth’s hottest eras. “These data indicate that the North American interior during the peak of the Cretaceous greenhouse was as warm as the hottest conditions

in the modern-day tropics — imagine the climate of Bali, Indonesia, in places like Utah or Wyoming,” Jones says. The waters, known as the Western Interior Seaway, could reach temperatures as high as 93 degrees Fahrenheit.

The fossils studied came from sandstone and shale outcrops in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona.

STOPPING BAD BACTERIA: Researchers at Michigan State University say they

have identified a new way to inhibit the production of proteins that are believed to play a role in causing Alzheimer’s disease, tetanus, botulism, and food poisoning, among other ailments. The findings, published in the journal eLife, are the result of work led by MSU biochemistry and molecular biology professor Lee Kroos, who says of the laborious research, “It was like putting together a 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzle without knowing what it looks like.”

SPEEDING UP 3D PRINTING: Anyone who has spent any time trying to make something with a 3D printer knows it takes an agonizingly long time. In some cases, in fact, it can take days. But new software developed by University of Michigan mechanical engineering professor Chinedum Okwudire promises to cut that lag in half by addressing one of the main causes of the need to print slow: the vibrations created by the machine

while it’s making objects.

Okwudire says his program, known as FBS, enables the machine to compensate for the vibration. “Say you want a 3D printer to travel straight, but due to vibration, the motion travels upward,” he says.

“The FBS algorithm tricks the machine by telling it to follow a path downward, and when it tries to follow that path, it travels straight.”

The software is marketed

by Okwudire’s company, Ulendo, and U-M has an investment in the firm.

DOCUMENTARY

TUNED OUT

The latest film on the Flint water crisis is making headlines, but in Flint, people have had their own story told to them enough

BY SCOTT ATKINSON

NAYYIRAH SHARIFF was half an hour late to Flint: Who Can You Trust?, a documentary chronicling the Flint water crisis, when it premiered in the Flint area in May. A new variant of COVID-19 was on the loose, and after two years living as a “hermit,” they were hesitant to leave the house. But as a local water rights activist and being prominently featured in the film, they figured they ought to go.

Four months later, they still haven’t bothered to go back and watch those first 30 minutes.

“It was somewhat traumatic, reliving some of that stuff,” Shariff says of watching the film.

They’re not alone in their hesitancy to finish the film — or watch it at all. There were only between 20 and 30 people at the local showing, Shariff says, and a handful, like Shariff, were in the movie. I spent a day wandering around Flint to hear residents’ thoughts on it, but except for Shariff — even after a couple of social media posts — I couldn’t find anyone who’d seen it.

Narrated by Alec Baldwin, Flint was created by British filmmaker Anthony Baxter, who offers a fairly comprehensive overview of the water crisis’s many facets. The movie has received widespread attention and mixed but ultimately positive reviews.

But in Flint, the reaction appears to be neither positive nor negative: It’s all but nonexistent.

— from the latest on the Jan. 6 hearings to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s resignation — these four progressives take more time than they ever get on TV to sort it out. While the show is national in nature, the presence of McQuade, now a University of Michigan law professor, and Atkins Stohr, a nonpracticing lawyer with a lengthy history covering the Supreme Court as a journalist, means that Michigan issues, such as the Gov.

Shariff, still exhausted from the crisis (they had lost their ability to yell, they say, from complications from the water), says one question that continues to haunt them, and that they cannot answer, is, “What does justice look like?”

It’s a good question. Even if or when the trial restarts, and even if a former governor and his underlings see jail time, what would that mean for the people of Flint? Even with a possible sense of closure, other difficult truths remain. Some residents are still waiting for their lead service lines to be replaced.

Fall/Winter 2022 Report: Detroit Edition

Couture bridal gowns, influences from global-trade folklore, and nods to ‘60s British television characterize the season’s collections from designers with local ties

BY RACHAEL THOMAS

Multicolor balaclavas, art deco neckties, butterfly rings, studded belts in bright green and purple, creepers, and funky badges round out the collection.

CEDI COLLECTION

Detroit native Cedi Johnson traveled from his Washington, D.C., home to the Ritz Paris in the City of Lights to present his fall/winter 2022 collection during Paris Fashion Week earlier this year. Johnson says his collection, AbsoFab, represents his four-decade career in the fashion industry. “I wanted to showcase every element of design that I’m known for, like comfy knits, couture evening dresses, and even the tailored suits and jackets,” Johnson says. Indeed, each look that went down the runway was a moment.

AbsoFab features stunning designs including a black and white floral drop-sleeve blouse and slacks paired with cherry red gloves; a head-totoe silver metallic look comprising a hooded tent top, leggings, and a handbag made with vegan crocodile leather; and a velvet green kimono with a train and a print of Frida Kahlo encompassing the entire back of the garment. The jewelry was also handcrafted by Johnson and consisted of pieces from his collection Nutz & Boltz.

ANNA SUI

For her fall 2022 ready-to-wear collection, New York-based designer and native Detroiter Anna Sui marries 1960s mod culture, 1920s art deco, and 1980s newwave music. Specifically, Sui aimed to capture the outfits, performances, and energy of Ready Steady Go!, a 1960s British pop/rock TV concert show that hosted The Beatles, The Who, The Kinks, and other popular artists of the time (and for which the collection is named). “Everyone wanted to see what Cathy McGowan was wearing, and then they would try to make it themselves,” Sui told Vogue earlier this year, referring to the show’s host, who was known for wearing clothes by British fashion designer Mary Quant and rocking a Vidal Sassoon haircut. Sui’s take on that period includes faux fur outerwear in hot orange, purple, and zebra print; paillette dresses in purple and black; tweed jacket and skirt sets; schoolgirl dresses; leather pants; and striped, floral, and neon tights.

This season’s designs include maxi dresses with high necklines and puffed sleeves; plaid blazers and wide-leg trousers; chunky knits; and printed headscarves. As with her fall 2021 ready-to-wear collection, this season’s color palette — comprising gray, brown, blue, black, and red — is muted with hints of brighter colors (seen on an orange puffer).

Her designs range from sleek silk bridal gowns to modest dresses made with vintage floral-print cotton to a stunning, floor-sweeping gown made with brocade and lamé.

“I love playing with silhouettes in my designs. [I] created each gown with a completely different skirt silhouette,” Kolis says, adding that she incorporated A-line, dirndl, exaggerated loose fit, and dropped waist silhouettes into the collection. The color palette — which featured soft shades of ivory, white, gold, blue, pink, and purple — achieved the elegant look and feel she envisioned.

Can’t live without: The five cone-shaped, matte black pendant lights over the table were designed by Tech Lighting. “We [dim] them down; they create cool little halos that are reflected on the table,” Werner says. 

Room with a view: “Our architect made sure we’d have optimal views based on the way he positioned the home — which is on 6 acres — and this room,” Werner says. Through the windows of the space, which is about 25 by 16 feet with 13-foot ceilings, one can see the sun rise behind the home. The big draw is the expansive woodland area, which features old oak trees among a mostly hardwood forest. Motor City Landscaping in Rochester Hills oversaw the landscaping and outdoor lighting. 

Comfy & cozy: A down-filled sofa, Eames chair, custom Berber rug, large ottoman, and pillows with an organic pattern round out the look. “I told Cheryl I don’t like orange, and the pillows have orange in them,” Werner says with a laugh. “Cheryl said they’re rust and that I need to bring the outside in with that pattern. I now love them! They’re not too loud and not too muted.” 

Fire it up: The couple adores their woodburning fireplace — as do their pug, Phoebe, and Persian cat, Chowder. “We love natural fires. It’s messy, but you can’t beat it — the natural heat, the smell, and the feeling it gives you,” Werner says. Matte black tiles from Ciot in Troy surround the fireplace and tie in with the window framing. 

Open-door policy: The room’s hard-wearing glass and aluminum doors, designed by Nestro, were created by Weldwork in Royal Oak. “They open inward toward the sunroom,” Werner says, “and they echo the look of the space’s dark aluminum-frame windows [by Quaker Windows & Doors] and the transoms.” 

Table talk: A long table with a wood veneer comes in handy for meals and games.

The chairs, from North Carolina-based furniture store Hickory Chair, are upholstered with wool fabric featuring a chevron pattern. 

Tile style: For the floors, the couple chose “Sassy Graphite” porcelain tile from Cercan Tile in Troy, which “wasn’t in our budget,” Werner says. “But Cheryl said, ‘You have to do it; it will look like glass!’ She was right.” 

SHEILA AND ERIC WERNER had always wanted a space in their home where they could enjoy Michigan’s four seasons within a window-wrapped retreat. Like many folks, they looked to Instagram for inspiration. Unlike most folks, however, the Werners drove nearly 200 miles to see it in real life.

“We’re hard-core about architecture and design,” Sheila Werner says with a laugh.

That room — in a model home in Ontario — “was the first time I really saw the ‘industrial loft’ look incorporated into a custom home,” Werner says. “It gave a very modern urban vibe while still having a feeling of living in a warm and inviting home.”

Find Your Groove A local online store offers home decor with a retro look

BY BRYANNA VITALE PHOTOGRAPHS BY REBECCA SIMONOV

IF YOU CAN’ T FIND SOMETHING that fits your own unique style, make it yourself. Madison Koster did just that when she created Mooju Rugs.

Through her online business, the 25-year-old sells her own creations of groovy rugs, mirrors, wall hangings, and prints. After just two years, her products are being sold at national retailers including Nordstrom and Urban Outfitters.

Koster — a local photographer who received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in advertising design and photography from the College for Creative Studies in 2019 — was inspired to start Mooju Rugs after she bought her first house in Redford Township and started designing its interior. Her goal was to decorate her home in a way that represented her personal style, which is influenced by the vibrant decor of the 1960s and ’70s. As she shopped for furnishings, Koster quickly realized there was a lack of available products that suited her taste. Undeterred, she began to create her own rugs and wall hangings. At the same time, she was sharing her designs on social media and found that others loved her work as well. Mooju Rugs was born soon after.

Koster found early success when Nordstrom discovered Mooju Rugs and asked her to do a pop-up collaboration with them, providing an opportunity to have her pieces sold in select stores across the U.S. and Canada. She then pursued her “dream” of one day selling her rugs at Urban Outfitters. Upon reaching out to the retailer, she was asked to design an exclusive assortment of mirror wall hangings — the collection sold out after just a few weeks.

As a self-proclaimed maximalist, Koster enjoys incorporating dynamic colors and shapes into her designs. Some of her bestsellers include flower-shaped mirrors in colorful cow prints; the Creamsicle Canyon Rug, which features a swirled design in various shades of orange; and her vibrant egg-shaped rugs.

“It’s a super physical art,” Koster says of her rug-making process, which takes about eight hours. “You need to know how to use the tufting gun with your whole body. You have to really be in control.” A do-it-yourself gal, Koster taught herself how to make all the rugs and mirrors she sells by watching online tutorials. She uses primarily wool for its durability. To produce the funky flower and Detroit art prints, Koster partners with local print shop Apricot Press.

“I’m someone who likes to keep myself challenged,” says Koster, who values the independence that comes with running her own business. “My favorite aspect is that there isn’t anyone telling me I can’t do something. If I want to try something, I can just try it.”

Sam Richardson’s education includes stints at University of Detroit Jesuit High School, Wayne State University, and Chicago’s Second City.

Today he lives in the Los Angeles area.

I

t’s not fair to call Sam Richardson a rising star anymore.

The 38-year-old actor from Detroit has firmly stationed himself in an orbit of fame that many creatives can only dream of.

You see, Richardson doesn’t have to explain or justify his day job to family and friends anymore.

What a relief.

“Sometimes, I’m amazed,” Richardson says, speaking from his cluttered home office in Los Angeles.

“I’m, like, a legitimate TV actor. I’m a legitimate movie actor.”

He’s also “excited, grateful, thankful, fulfilled” — all words he uses to describe his current place in the ever-evolving atmosphere of Hollywood. It’s part of the abundant yet humble charm that Richardson radiates on screen (or even through an hourlong Zoom call).

“I don’t have to explain to my parents what I do anymore. My aunties have seen the work. I didn’t have to try and convince them to come see my play.

No, my movie comes on in the airplane. There’s a trailer for my next movie in the movie they’re going to see,” Richardson says, laughing.

He’s paying the bills with his talents, but there’s

a sense of wonderment in his eyes when it comes to the fact that he’s actually doing this thing he’s already dreamed of — and people are watching. Not just his family, either. And not just fans. Richardson was recently nominated by the Television Academy for an Emmy for his work on Ted Lasso.

“I was so happy to be on Ted Lasso and work with all those incredible performers. To receive my first Emmy nomination was the cherry on top of the cake.”

He adds another word to describe his newfound stardom.

“It’s bewildering,” he laughs.

There’s no confusion, however, about how Richardson went from doing improv at Detroit’s now-defunct Second City outpost to being hailed as this generation’s Tom Hanks by Chris Miller, an A-list Hollywood producer-director (The Lego Movie, 21 Jump Street).

And to carry a comparison like that, there’s still so much more to build, Richardson says.

“Artists are imitators, but we are also creators.

You don’t want to just create in the image of someone else,” Richardson says. “I want to be the next Tom Hanks. I want to be the next Jamie Foxx. I want to be the next Sam Richardson, and I want that to be its own category.”

A R I S I N G S TA R Since he was 8, Richardson had his sights set on performing.

Growing up, he split his time between Ghana and Detroit; his father is a successful restaurateur from the Motor City, his mother the daughter of a Ghanaian chief who relocated here. He graduated from University of Detroit Jesuit High School on the city’s northwest side, where he took theater and later flirted with studying it at Wayne State University.

Instead, he chose learning and performing improv on that tiny stage at Second City, which used to hold classes and performances at the now-Detroit House of Comedy downtown.

It’s an art form that’s still near and dear to Richardson’s heart.

“I’ve done a movie where we had the premiere in a football stadium, and that’s terrific, but playing in a two-person improv show in a full 100-seat theater is thrilling,” Richardson says. “That’s what started it for me.”

He flashes back to a time when he was just a

In a lot of ways, that’s where Richardson stands right now in Hollywood. A major motion picture out this month. The second season of an acclaimed show dropping next year. A wave of projects in development or on the horizon.

But he’s still got that giddy excitement in his voice when he talks about the projects he gets to work on, like stepping onto the set of a sequel of a movie he loved growing up, or receiving a letter from Tom Hanks himself, or being recognized at an event by an A-list actor — a moment when Richardson realized his career was starting to blast off.

“I went to a party a couple years ago and this guy came up to me and was like, ‘I’m such a big fan. Nice to meet you. I’m Ewan,’ and I was like, ‘Yeah, you’re Ewan McGregor, man!

Are you kidding me?’” Richardson laughs. “I absorb entertainment, so being a part of that is an interesting thing. In the same way I absorb them, they absorb me as well. That’s one of those moments where I realized this was all crazy.”

That’s not to say he isn’t realizing how normal it’s all becoming for him and his career — and what’s next for him. When talking to Richardson, you can see the wheels turning in his head as he thinks about his future. It’s like a skill he picked up from his improv days — staying two steps ahead, but staying in the moment, too.

“I want to take more control,” Richardson says. “I think I’m a trusted person in comedy, but I want to be a trusted person for all audiences — where the viewing public trusts me to entertain them.

“I’m building that.”

Each year, more than 300,000 people enjoy art exhibits, concerts, food trucks, and more at Arts, Beats and Eats.

When then-Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson reached out to Jon Witz in 1998 to help organize a culinary event in Pontiac, Witz responded with a broader vision. The owner of Jonathan Witz & Associates marketing firm, Witz believed offerings like an art fair, concerts, and family activities could draw the community together in a bigger way.

Now, Arts, Beats, and Eats — celebrating its 25th annual event — is attracting more than 300,000 people each year and this September will feature 200 musical acts.

“The size and scope of the event have changed dramatically,” says Witz, now Festival Owner and Event Producer of Arts, Beats, and Eats. In 2010, the event moved to Royal Oak. While the art exhibits, rock concerts, and food trucks were initially all in the same space, now the festival separates art, creating “a more relaxed and uninterrupted art experience,” Witz says.

Today, Arts, Beats, and Eats has more food trucks than ever, and “the quality of national music has improved dramatically,” Witz says. Last year’s event featured Stone Temple Pilots, Gin Blossoms, The Guess Who, and Thornetta Davis.

This year’s lineup will include Flo Rida, 311, Boston, and Fitz & The Tantrums.

Popular community events, like the Zumbathon and Family Days (where children with autistism and their families receive a one-day access pass), are also returning. This year’s Arts, Beats, and Eats is expected to raise over $300,000 for nonprofits.

Detroit native Vinnie Dombroski, lead singer of Sponge and longtime performer at Arts, Beats, and Eats, calls the festival “the end-ofsummer celebration.”

Soaring Eagle Arts, Beats, and Eats will be open from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. Friday, Sept. 2, through Sunday, Sept. 4, and 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. Monday, Sept. 5.

HUNGRY FOR SUCCESS DETROIT NATIVE ALEX ENGLISH RETURNS FOR HIS SECOND SEASON WRITING FOR SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

After a night spent telling jokes back in his hometown of Detroit, Alex English is hungry for some damn pancakes.

“I’ve literally been coming here since I was a kid,” he says, sitting in a booth at The Original Pancake House on Woodward Avenue in Birmingham. “I applied to work here like, so many times,” he adds with a laugh. “I keep giving them business, and they don’t want me.”

They might keep him as a customer, but they missed their chance to have him serving pancakes.

The Detroit native now only visits when he returns from New York, where he makes his living writing for Saturday Night Live.

This fall marks his return for his second season

to SNL after what he calls a successful first year.

Newbies don’t always get their ideas on the air, but one of his original ideas — a sketch called “Nice Jail” that featured Willem Dafoe — made the cut.

“It was great. It went really well,” he says of that first year. “I mean, I was scared as hell.”

Despite his success on the late-night show, English’s focus is stand-up — a career he fell into by accident. After graduating from college in 2012, he moved to New York with no other goal than earning enough money to pay rent. Waiting tables and working temp jobs, he attended an open mic night with a friend. Not planning to perform, he told some jokes on the fly — and was invited back.

That led to more open mics, which led to some paid gigs, which led to getting an agent, which led to writing for TV shows like The Rundown with Robin Thede, The Fix, and National Lampoon Radio Hour — and, after three attempts, SNL. He spent this summer touring with and opening for Colin Jost, with the hopes of, in time, getting his own TV special. Being among a group The New York Times called “The Queer Young Comics Redefining American Humor,” he may be on his way.

“My stand-up is so special to me,” he says. “It just continues to grow.”

Keep your eye out for where Alex English lands next — he’s hungry for a lot more than pancakes.

Opening on Detroit’s Cass Corridor this month is the womenled Detroit Public Theatre’s new home at Third Avenue Garage.

D E T R O I T P U B L I C T H E AT R E :

NEW SEASON IN A NEW HOME COURTNEY BURKETT, ONE OF THE THEATER’S PRODUCING ARTISTIC DIRECTORS, TELLS US WHAT TO EXPECT THIS FALL

L

BY RYAN PATRICK HOOPER

Like a lot of great plays, it’s taken years for Detroit Public Theatre to find a stage of its own. This month, that will change as the homegrown company run entirely by women opens its very own doors to the public for the first time.

Detroit Public Theatre will launch its eighth season inside its own digs at the historic Third Avenue Garage in the city’s Cass Corridor, joining a busy block that includes the Selden Standard restaurant and the popular Barcade. It will be Detroit Public Theatre’s first season outside of its former home, Robert A. & Maggie Allesee Rehearsal Hall at the Fisher Music Center, where the Detroit Symphony Orchestra performs.

Its building dates back to 1927 and has been updated with state-ofthe-art amenities. The black box theater will seat about 200 patrons per show and have seating designed to move around and accommodate each production’s unique set designs. A new lobby, box office, and bar called the Green Room will round out the additions to the space.

But what are fancy new accommodations without shows to match? Detroit Public Theatre will open its latest season with Mud Row (Sept. 21-Oct. 30), written by Tony-nominated Detroit playwright Dominique Morisseau, who also serves as the company’s executive artistic producer. The play tells the story of two sisters forced to confront their shared heritage after one of them inherits their grandmother’s house.

“It’s got some really interesting things to say about inheritance, legacy, and place and how we are defined by our homes and the places we live,” says Courtney Burkett, one of three producing artistic directors and co-founders of Detroit Public Theatre. “It’s really interesting to be opening a new space in Detroit and to have that conversation about who these buildings and the overall community belong to.”

It’s rare in almost every industry to see women running the show (all three producting artistic directors are women), and “theater is no different,” says Burkett, who adds that diversity on stage and in the offices of independent theater is growing but not quite where it needs to be yet.

But starting Detroit Public Theatre from scratch nearly a decade ago has allowed Burkett and her team to play by their own rules.

“One of the great things about building this company from the ground up is that we don’t have to do things the way they were always done,” she says.

In addition to Mud Row, Detroit Public Theatre will also stage Noura by Michigan-born Iraqi American playwright Heather Raffo starting on Nov. 6.

TRUSTED ADVISERS Q&A Q: What should I look for in a diagnostic lab that specializes in urine analysis and COVID-19 testing?

A: The best labs offer premium toxicology services for rehabilitation centers or pain clinics that need to test their patients, companies looking to determine the status of a potential candidate, and trucking companies looking to certify drivers.

The first thing to do is make sure the lab is approved by Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments(CLIA), which regulate laboratory testing and

require clinical laboratories to be certified by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services before they can accept human samples for diagnostic testing.

Also, make sure the lab can guarantee specialized knowledge along with a personalized approach, ensuring expedient analysis and accurate results.

Find a lab that provides exceptional customer service and rapid turnaround time,

and offers the most advanced software for reporting to the clients and to the state.

Prism Lab, LLC is Michigan’s premier lab dedicated to functional medicine diagnostic services. It’s an all-in-one diagnostic lab that can identify most drugs of abuse in urine, hair, and oral fluid. Its CLIA medical lab specializes in urine analysis and COVID-19 testing, and its procedures are the gold standard in laboratory medicine.

Q: What’s the most effective way to secure my cannabis business?

A: Cannabis security is quite complex. Which license you carry will help determine what works best for you. At a minimum, Securatech recommends a fully alarmed site with access control and a “smart” surveillance system.

In addition, depending on your license and location, remote video monitoring and security guards could be necessary.

The best advice is to find a

company that’s reputable and has experience in the industry. Just because a company has installed alarms and cameras doesn’t mean it understands the cannabis industry and how to secure it.

In addition to the security, it’s important to have an IT company that provides your organization with a secure online information structure and works hand-in-hand with your security company.

Securatech is Michigan’s premiere security company. It’s been in the forefront of cannabis security, and was involved in getting the first licensed facility active. Since then, Securatech has secured well over 200 licensed cannabis facilities. It offers a multitude of cutting-edge security services and products from the leaders in business and home security.

to people seeking alternative healing. And it was those experiences that led to the introduction of The United Green, a cannabis-specific staffing agency focused on providing more health options to people across the United States. The full-service company specializes only in the cannabis industry, with a client base in grow / processing facilities, provisioning, lab testing centers, and secure transport.

“Today, we hold a continued

belief in the healing effects of CBD and THC,” Petersmark says, noting that The United Green recently surpassed its 4,000th hire. “Our passion for promoting the benefits of cannabis is seen in the continued success of The United Green.”

Ranking in the top 1 percent of cannabis staffing agencies nationwide, The United Green is full of young business professionals fueled by a passion for helping others.

Q: Why cannabis?

A: “My call to cannabis manifested through witnessing the comfort it brought to my late family members during their battles with cancer,” says The United Green’s Craig Petersmark.

“I was moved by the relief it provided during some of the toughest moments for my family.”

Petersmark says his personal experience motivated him to increase awareness of the many medicinal benefits cannabis provides

Q: Does CBD work in conjunction with Pilates?

A: “When it comes to a whole health practice, the Pilates method encompasses a great deal,” says Ron Jegadeesh, Pilates instructor, physical therapist, and owner of Pilates Fitness & Physical Therapy Center in Southfield.

Developed by Joseph Pilates after World War I for use by injured veterans, the Pilates method recommends that movements be augmented by getting plenty of sunshine and fresh air, bathing

ExpertQ&A.fp.HD.0922 V4.indd 1

the body and cells with oxygen via blood circulation, and living with vigor and zest. These days, that vigor and zest increasingly includes the addition of CBD, as Pilates practitioners and studios are discovering its many benefits in conjunction with movement.

CBD is a cannabinoid that doesn’t get users high and exhibits no signs of dependence potential.

For students who routinely experience pain, CBD can help

reduce inflammation after exercise, support healthy sleep cycles, and deliver a sense of calm. Whether taken as an oil before engaging in Pilates or used as a salve to melt away any post-movement discomfort, it’s showing amazing potential — especially among people with arthritis.

Don’t be surprised if the next time you take a Pilates class, your instructor recommends trying a CBD product!

A monthlong celebration of Detroit’s design legacy

You can trace the roots of Detroit’s design legacy to the sleek exterior of the automobile and towering art deco skyscrapers, but it’s grown to encompass so much more in the decades that have followed. Since 2011, the city has hosted Detroit Month of Design — a monthlong celebration that brings together exhibitions, tours, workshops, interactive displays, keynote speakers, and a lot more. This year’s programming (Sept.

1-30) will feature more than 80 events with programming focused on design strategies with the capacity to strengthen community

Highlights include Detroit Gucci Changemakers Exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit on Sept. 8.

Many events are free and open to the public, so consider this a front-row seat to where design in Detroit is heading next. Some events require advance registration or ticketed admission. For a full calendar of events and details, visit designcore. org/month-of-design.

LAST CHANCE

Tunde Olaniran’s universe is worth orbiting at Cranbrook Art Museum

It’s been over a decade since Tunde Olaniran arrived triumphantly on Michigan’s music scene. Hailing from Flint, Olaniran has always had a catalog of strong visual elements to complement their operatic voice and stark electro-pop production.

Their collaboration with the Cranbrook Art Museum, however, is the grandest pairing of visual art and music I have seen from this talented artist — and it’s closing this month (Sept. 25). Olaniran’s Made a Universe arrives in three parts. In a screening room, you can view a sweeping, 25-minute short film

that marries a sci-fihorror narrative with Olanrian’s own music, complete with set pieces designed and built by a murderers’ row of Detroit artists.

Those same set pieces help make up the physical exhibition space that patrons can walk through — you can watch the film and then literally step into the world you just viewed moments before. The third gallery brings together a selection of works from the Mott-Warsh Collection in Flint, one of the largest private collections of Black contemporary art in the country, including works by Kehinde Wiley, Nick Cave, and Carrie Mae Weems, among others. It’s one of the best examples of art jumping off the screen and into the

gallery I’ve seen in metro Detroit.

General admission is $10 for the entire museum.

For details and more information, visit cranbrookartmuseum.org.

LIVE ENTERTAINMENT

Two downtown entertainment forces combine for live shows

There’s a wave of investments and changes at the Hollywood Casino at Greektown (formerly known as the Greektown Casino).

New restaurants, renovated hotel rooms, new cashless options for gamblers — but still no dedicated space for live entertainment, a staple at many casinos. To solve that problem, the casino has teamed up with Detroit’s Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts just an eight-minute walk away to bring about 40 live shows under the “Hollywood Greektown Casino Presents” banner.

Highlights in September include former Late Late Show host and comedian Craig Ferguson (Sept.

16), the funk and soul of Tower of Power (Sept. 29), and comedian George Lopez (Sept. 30).

For more details, visit hollywoodgreektown. com/entertainment.

ON MY PLAYLIST

The infectious power pop of Nick Piunti and the Complicated Men

One of the most consistent elements of Michigan’s music scene is the straight-ahead power pop of Nick Piunti and his band, the Complicated Men, who hail from Grosse Ile. If you still find yourself enraptured with Elvis Costello’s This Year’s Model or Big Star’s #1 Record, you’ll find a musical home for yourself with Piunti’s latest album, Heart Inside Your Head, released earlier this year. From the perfectly crisp opening chords of “My Mind (Plays Tricks on Me)” to the anthemic “One of the Boyz,” it’s clear Piunti is one of the most capable songwriters in the state and is certainly not afraid of making sure there’s a solid hook for every chorus he writes.

Listen to their latest album, Heart Inside Your Head, anywhere you like to stream music. You can buy it directly from the artist at nickpiuntimusic. bandcamp.com.

THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN

How Paul Glantz grew Emagine Entertainment into one of the nation’s biggest theater chains

BY NICOLE FREHSEE MAZUR PHOTO BY BRAD ZIEGLER

IN 1989, PAUL GLANTZ was a young certified public accountant on the hunt for additional business opportunities when he and a friend decided to purchase a movie theater in Clarkston. The venue was small — just a single screen and 265 seats — but somehow, the pair landed on an industry list of the largest U.S. theater operators, albeit in 365th place. “We were tied,” Glantz laughs, “with a lot of others.”

Thirty-three years later, Glantz is back on Boxoffice Pro’s Giants of Exhibition list — but this time he’s at No. 9. “I couldn’t have envisioned this when I started the company,” says the cofounder and chairman of Troy-based Emagine Entertainment, which owns and operates 28 theaters across Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Minnesota. “It’s gratifying to think that the hard work and teamwork that’s gone into building this business has brought us to this point.”

Indeed, it’s quite a feat for a man who, until four years ago, considered owning a growing slate of luxury movie theaters his “avocation” — a hobby to nurture on his off-hours as the chief financial officer of a local insurance business. Why’d he keep his day job for so long? “Being an accountant, I’m a little risk averse,” he says.

It looks like the risks are paying off, even amid unprecedented challenges for the film industry — everything from the proliferation of streaming services and online distribution to, of course, the COVID-19 pandemic. Emagine has weathered them all, sliding into the Giants of Exhibition’s top 10 with the addition of seven new locations in 2021 alone. “We had a pretty simple philosophy going through COVID,” says Emagine CEO Anthony LaVerde. “It’s the Warren Buffett adage: Be greedy when others are fearful and be fearful when others are greedy. We chose to be greedy.”

Still, Emagine didn’t escape the pandemic unscathed. First, there were the state-mandated shutdowns of movie theaters, which prompted Glantz to sue Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in June 2020. (He lost.) Then there were the other losses: $46 million between April 2020 and March 2021, and most of Emagine’s workforce, which plummeted from about 1,100 people to 15. “We had to save every dollar we could,” says Glantz,

 Paul Glantz poses in the lobby of Birmingham’s Emagine Palladium, one of Emagine Entertainment’s 28 theaters scattered across the Midwest.

who nonetheless covered health care costs for his laid-off employees. (All full-time employees are eligible for family health insurance, as well as other benefits and perks, such as free movie screenings.)

But thanks to some help from Emagine’s investors and Glantz’s relationships with various regional banks, the company raised enough capital to not only pay its bills but also facilitate growth.

Without that infusion, Glantz says, “[I] would not have the privilege of operating a business of this magnitude today.”

When it comes to knowing what moviegoers want, Glantz, who grew up in Redford Township and now lives in Lake Angelus, has always been somewhat of a visionary. He was quick to embrace what he calls “paradigm shifts” in the industry, like digital projection and stadium seating — Emagine was the world’s first chain to convert to 100 percent digital projection in 2005 and also opened Michigan’s first all-stadium-seating theater.

“I think it’s incumbent upon businesspeople to try to anticipate how to enhance the guest experience,” he says. “With moviegoing, it’s a relatively easy process. I look at it and think, ‘What would make this better?’”

The answer: heated leather recliners that can be reserved before showtime, bars serving local craft beer, brick ovens that churn out fresh pizza — delivered to your seat, of course — and soda fountains that let you order from your phone. “It’s all about providing the best out-of-home experience you can,” LaVerde says. He knows Emagine is competing against the comfort of one’s own couch, but he says it’s not a zero-sum game: Movie theaters and streaming services “can both win.”

For Emagine, “winning” involves targeting underserved markets, whether that means locales

with existing theaters that need a refresh or communities that lack upscale theaters altogether.

Detroit is a prime example of the latter, but Emagine is working to change that. In 2018, the company partnered with hometown rapper Big Sean to develop an entertainment center in the city; locations are currently being scouted.

In a constantly changing industry, Emagine is also investing in alternative content, which accounted for more than 5 percent of the company’s revenue last year. In December, Emagine debuted a Vegas-style sports-gambling lounge at its Royal Oak theater, and it hosts live music every weekend at the Birmingham Palladium. “[We] realized early on that our venues could be used for things other than viewing feature films,” says Glantz, who tested the concept at his Birch Run location in 1998 when he secured a digital projector “the size of a rowboat” to show the Stanley Cup playoffs.

But back to the present. With Emagine’s four consecutive quarters of profitability and a 2022 film slate that includes several anticipated blockbusters (such as the sequels to Minions, Thor, Black Panther, and Avatar), Glantz is optimistic about the future. His company is back up to 900 “teammates,” as he calls them, and he’s looking to expand beyond the Midwest. “I’m not at liberty to talk about it, but there are plans afoot,” he says.

He even occasionally has time to enjoy the perks of his role, like popping into one of his theaters to catch the latest flick.

“It’s not a straight trajectory upward; it’s been a bumpy road,” he says of his decades in the movie business. Still, it beats working in insurance. “You don’t realize how much better life is going to be,” he says, “when you only have one job.”

AUTO

AUTO SHOW REBOOT The North American International Auto Show is back, in a first-ever indoor/ outdoor format. But first, some history.

BY RONALD AHRENS

IF WILLIAM METZGER, who died in 1933, could return to Detroit in September and mosey around the auto show that he co-founded 123 years ago, he would need to have a few things explained.

Metzger, the first sales manager for Cadillac Automobile Co. in 1902, would be pleased the brand is still around, unlike Oldsmobile, another outfit he was involved with. But in sizing up the Cadillac Celestiq show car, he would ask why anyone is bothering to produce electric cars again — and especially Cadillac, a gasser company to its core.

Besides the previously named endeavors, Metzger had already opened the city’s first car sales showroom at 254 Jefferson Ave., and one of his lines was the Waverley Electric. This buggy-full-ofbatteries was produced in Indianapolis until 1916, and then Waverley Co. faded out. By that time, the young auto industry was on its second generation of electric cars, but after 1920, gas engines prevailed.

Of course, when his head stopped spinning, Metzger would be told that lithium-ion battery chemistry was developed in the 1970s and today’s governmentinfluenced industry is staking everything on converting over.

On his continuing tour of the 2022 North American International Auto Show — open to the public Sept. 17 to 25 in Huntington Place — Metzger would remember 1899, when he and hardware store owner Seneca Lewis leased the Light Guard Armory and organized the Tri-State Sportsman’s and Automobile Association. The Armory, a castle-like bastion at the corner of Larned and Brush streets (a site now occupied by the Millender Center Apartments), hosted the Michigan Light Guard’s drills, but it also offered the large auditorium for public events.

“Ceremonies of an impressive nature were held in the Light-Guard Armory,” historian George Catlin wrote in 1923. Another writer reports that besides big-game trophies, the first exposition featured four cars. The Tri-State Sportsman’s and Automobile Association reprised its expo in each of the next two years, even adding a dog show. In 1902, with five car dealers now in the city, a bigger expo was held; Metzger still

The Details: • The show takes place Sept. 17-25.

Visitors may expect a wide range of vehicles with traditional exhibits but should also look for several “active tracks” — still being defined at the time of this writing — inside Huntington Place. Outdoors in Cadillac Square, expect several “dynamic activations.”

Renderings show food trucks and dining space amid tabletennis setups and game courts. Also look for ride-and-drive opportunities on the downtown street course for the 2023 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix.

• On Sept. 14 and 15, Industry Tech Days and AutoMobili-D, presented by the Michigan Economic Development Corp., will feature more than 80 technology companies, Tier 1 auto suppliers, startups, and universities.

Panel discussions will emphasize trends in mobility and electrification.

• On Sept. 16, there is a black-tie charity preview with headline entertainment; tickets are $400 each or $700 for a pair.

dominated it with three electric brands, two steamers, and three gassers.

The Detroit auto show went on through the decades at several locations, including the Michigan State Fairgrounds. There was a 12-year hiatus during and after World War II. The show moved to Cobo Center in 1965. Then, in 1989, the North American International Auto Show made its debut there with a much grander attitude. But the NAIAS was suspended in 2020 because of COVID-19. It was set for a restart with a revised format in June 2021, but this idea was scotched. Last December, Michigan lawmakers approved a $9 million grant to aid the auto show’s reboot. Now, after a 44-month hiatus, it’s set to coincide with late-summer weather and the traditional start of the new car model year rather than its previously established calendar slot each January.

Metzger would be comforted to see other brands familiar from ancient times: Ford, Lincoln, Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Chrysler, and Dodge. (Representing overkill beyond any rational thought, the GMC Hummer EV might make him decide to retreat to the afterlife.) He would also be agog at the show’s interactive features and the emphasis on technology, especially where it concerns EVs and autonomous mobility. This thrust is represented in the show’s busy new logo, which not only adopts a trendy green and blue palette to represent “clean energy pathways and transformative technologies” but also reintegrates the previous spirit-of-motion figure and prominently adds “Detroit” to reflect the celebration of community.

French-inspired Bar Pigalle opens in Little Paris

Bar Pigalle, a Frenchinspired restaurant with a Midwestern twist, has opened in The Carlton Lofts in Brush Park, a fitting location considering the neighborhood’s old nickname of Little Paris.

Mixologist Travis Fourmont and sommelier Joseph Allerton, who met at the gone-but-not-forgotten Roast, joined forces on this new restaurant, which features interesting takes on French bistro fare such as Coney-style steak frites and French street tacos with vadouvan hummus.

The cocktails are equally as creative and unique, including the Byrrh and Tonic, with Byrrh Grand Quinquina, a fortified red wine with quinine, an

interesting substitution for gin. 2915 John R St., Detroit; 313-497-9200; barpigalle.com

Ima raises the bar with new izakaya concept

Local noodle favorite Ima has been slowly growing over the years, and now it’s expanded its Midtown home base with its takeover of the former Gold Cash Gold space. The izakaya (the Japanese counterpart to the pub) has some of Ima’s staples, such as chicken karaage, rice bowls, and udon, but now offers dishes like Mini Kurobuta Pork Sausages and Tsukune Chicken Meat Balls from the robata (charcoal) grill and Chilean sea bass and New York strip. 2100 Michigan Ave., Detroit; imaizakaya.com

Mushroom-focused boutique opens in Midtown

The Mushroom Hub is planning the grand opening of its first U.S. location this month on Cass Avenue. The shop, which has another location in Windsor, offers all types of mushrooms from frozen and dried fungi (such as dried wild Bosnian porcini and frozen chicken of the woods) to fresh maitake and lion’s mane. And the kingdom is growing: Another location in Royal Oak is coming soon.

For a pick-me-up

Forté Coffee Brian Maynard discovered good coffee in 1982, when he tried 100 percent Arabica for the first time. That inspired him to start a mail-order coffee company, which he ran for a few years before trading in his beans for a steady paycheck and benefits. After 27 years in the marketing field, it was time to get back to coffee. In 2018, he founded Forté Coffee, which sources single-origin coffee, offering classic espresso-based drinks like cappuccinos, macchiatos, and flat whites, complemented by housemade cookies, brownies, scones, and muffins.

Houndstooth With its big-city energy and globally inspired menu, Houndstooth packs a lot of style into its space. Siblings Cheyenne and James Galbraith launched a Kickstarter campaign in 2018 to bring the restaurant to the vibrant Arts District of the city; the menu features locally driven small plates and entrees with a curated wine and beer list and unique cocktails. They set a goal of $40,000 and raised more than $50,000 in two months. Dishes like Skrei Cod with piquillo shito, plantain, and peanut maafe and Bay Scallop Aguachile with salsa verde typify the creative yet approachable fare.

DRIVING DOWN Orchard Lake Road, I pass by a Wendy’s, a Taco Bell, and a McDonald’s before turning right onto Inverness, leaving behind the typical scenes of suburbia and entering a 5-acre farm oasis in the middle of metro Detroit.

A dark wooden rustic barn comes into full view, complemented by raised beds with crops bursting from the earth, all sorts of wild plants from berries to chives, and three tall greenhouses painted with colorful scenes of vegetables.

Owning a restaurant was a longtime dream for Nicole and Tim Ryan, whose other business — Ryan Construction Inc. — builds restaurants (many of them the fast-food variety). After finding the perfect spot in Sylvan Lake, just a few miles from their West Bloomfield home, Nicole says, “We started thinking about it. We thought we could put a barn up. We could have our own farm and use the farm to produce what we cook in the restaurant.”

68

SYLVAN TABLE 1819 INVERNESS ST., SYLVAN LAKE; 248-369-3360; SYLVANTABLE.COM DINNER DAILY; BRUNCH SAT-SUN

As the vision started to take shape, Nicole discovered the Antique Barn Co., whose owner, Donald Polaski, travels the country saving old barns and giving them a new life. “It was in line with how we wanted to operate,” Nicole says. “We want it to be sustainable and to be respectful of our environment.” Polaski found the 300-year-old barn in Maine and brought it to Michigan in early 2019. It would take the Ryans’ team about two years to transform the bones into the restaurant, which opened in June 2021.

Even though it feels grand and vast when you step into the stunning space, Sylvan Table is homey, welcoming, and inviting. In the early evening hours, natural light bathes the barn. The view from the loft is among the best in the house, where you feel a little bit tucked away but still close to the action.

The expansive bar in the center of the restaurant is a convivial spot brimming with energy as diners

sip on cocktails like the Can You Dig It? with beetinfused tequila and the crowd-pleaser Love Grows with Valentine vodka, Aperol, grapefruit juice, and rosemary syrup. The glass-roofed solarium, with its wood-burning fireplace, has a romantic feel to it, especially when the sun goes down and the candles are lit. But it’s not just a special-occasion place for date night; I saw intergenerational families and groups of friends all sharing space.

Executive Chef Chris Gadulka says his challenge is to make sure the food matches the vibe and that he and his team deliver. Gadulka, who studied at Schoolcraft College under the tutelage of master chefs and has worked at several restaurants around metro Detroit, including Tribute, has a straightforward philosophy to cooking: Let the food speak for itself.

The heart of the restaurant’s cooking is the massive wood-fired grill and the wood-fired pizza oven that create some of Sylvan Table’s instant classics, like the trout and flatbread.

Meals begin with an amuse-bouche that provides a glimpse of the well-balanced and composed dishes to come. On both evenings I went, a single slice of cucumber, lightly pickled but still crisp and fresh, welcomed us. We tried the flatbread, a spicy iteration with soppressata and crushed Anaheim pepper tamed by creamy lemon-thyme ricotta, and the bone marrow, a very generous portion with three bones but sadly not enough bread to spread the unctuous marrow on. (Side rant: Why are there never enough carbs for appetizers, whether it’s marrow or guacamole? End rant.) On another occasion, my dining companion and I tried the campagnolo, with housemade charcuterie like an

outstanding pork rillette and local goat cheese, but to be honest, the best part of the plate was the perfectly pickled carrots and onions — simply prepared ingredients that spoke for themselves.

For my entree, I opted for one of Sylvan Table’s mainstays: trout with ginger black rice, shiitake, leeks, and baby beet. The trout has been one of the most popular dishes since the beginning. Gadulka says they sold out on the first day in three hours, so he called his purveyor and said he would need double the amount. The next day they sold out again and Gadulka said he needed more, and the purveyor’s reply was he couldn’t fish the Au Sable River anymore for the restaurant because they’d have to overfish to meet their demand.

It’s not hard to see why, because it’s a showstopper. The trout is seasoned with herb oil, salt, and pepper, cooked over the wood-fired grill, and served whole. Gadulka says he is working with an Indigenous community in the U.P. to source the rice to go with the trout, another way Sylvan Table tries to showcase Michigan’s flavors on the plate.

On another evening, I went for the other staple, the Chicken Under a Brick. Normally, chicken breast to me is as exciting as cold plain oatmeal, but here, it is cooked to charred perfection, again simply seasoned with salt, lemon, and fresh herbs to accentuate, not complicate.

The shareable sides change often to reflect what’s in season. When I visited in late spring, it was peak ramps and fiddlehead ferns season. Our server said a few of the staff members foraged the Michigan treasures recently. The fiddlehead ferns were sauteed with garlic, salt, and butter — no more, no less, letting the greens proudly show off their unique charms of being sweeter than asparagus and grassier than green beans. The ramp dish was a bit busy, with a large portion of cranberry hummus and sumac overpowering the ramps. With the season so fleeting, I would have liked a more edited dish — i.e., more ramps, less filler. The ramps were sauteed perfectly, however.

Desserts are a must. Even if you are not a sweets person, you won’t want to miss the creative and whimsical dishes that punctuate the end of the meal. There were three choices and it was difficult to decide which tempting treat to get.

By the time you read this, it will be September,

 Some of the produce used in Sylvan Table’s dishes comes from its onsite farm. The restaurant itself is housed in a 300-year-old barn that was transformed

by Ryan Construction, the owners’ other business.

so it’s likely that will mean apple crisp made with fresh local apples. My dining companion had it in spring, featuring apples that were put into storage and tucked away for that time of year, and thought it couldn’t get better. So, I’m guessing you won’t be disappointed. I went for the AB&J Panna Cotta, which is the most elegant and sophisticated peanut butter and jelly sandwich I’ve ever had. With rye bread-infused ice cream, blueberry gelee, and almond butter, the panna cotta showcases the kitchen’s craft and skill perfectly.

“Locally sourced food” is a buzzword that many restaurants throw out to market themselves, but Sylvan Table is truly living the farm-to-fork ethos — even with something like marshmallows. Sylvan Table’s farmer, Rick Rigutto, planted on-site the plant used to make the confection, Nicole says. It’s this type of experimentation and creativity that excites her.

“We probably won’t source marshmallows elsewhere,” she says. “It’d be a fun thing to have on the menu for a week, … homemade marshmallow from the marshmallow plant that we grew.”

Michigan is the country’s second most agriculturally diverse state, but it sometimes doesn’t get the same love as the frontrunner, California. At Sylvan Table, the team is showcasing the very best of the state’s delicious bounty.

CAN-DO ATTITUDE

Make the fruits of your labor last all year long

HAVE MORE CABBAGE, apples, corn, pears, and peaches than you know what to do with?

There are different ways to preserve foods at home, including freezing, canning, or drying to extend their shelf life, says Ghaida Havern, a food safety educator covering metro Detroit at Michigan State University Extension.

Freezing is the easiest and most convenient preservation method, Havern says. She recommends using moisture-vapor-resistant freezer containers and materials such as plastic freezer wrap, freezer paper, and heavyweight aluminum foil when storing in the freezer. To freeze food properly, place food in the coldest parts of freezer and leave space around packages so cold air can circulate.

Drying foods is one of the oldest methods of preservation, Havern says. In the past, the process has depended on the sun, but today it can be done with electric food dryers, which combine gentle heat with air circulation to remove moisture without compromising flavor and texture.

Canning will depend on the type of food you want to preserve. “The water bath, electric water bath, and atmospheric steam canner are all designed to safely process high-acid foods such as fruits, tomatoes, pickles, jams, jellies, and other fruit preserves,” Havern says.

When it comes to preserving lowacid foods such as vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood, pressure canning is the only way to go, she says. The process entails placing jars of food in 2 to 3 inches of water in a pressure canner and heated to a temperature of at least 240 degrees Fahrenheit.

One of the most common mistakes Havern sees people make is “using a random recipe they found online.

We only recommend using researchtested recipes.”

Peach Jam Yield: About 4 half-pint jars

Ingredients:

3c ups frozen peaches, thawed and crushed (about 30 ounces) 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 ½ tablespoons powdered pectin 3 cups sugar

Directions:

Sterilize canning jars. Drain peaches, reserving juice.

Crush peaches and combine with reserved juice. Place 3 cups of mixture into a saucepot.

Stir in lemon juice.

Stir contents of pectin

package and measure 2 ½ tablespoons of the pectin.

Measure sugar and set aside. Stir powdered pectin into the prepared peaches.

Bring to a full boil over high heat, stirring constantly. At once stir in sugar. Stir and bring to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down.

Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat. Skim off foam. Pour hot jam into hot jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace. Wipe jar rims and adjust lids. Process 5 minutes in a boiling water bath.

BLUE LL AMA’S

PORK CHOPS

P H O T O BY K AILEY HOW E LL

Ancho chili marinade Ingredients:

6 12-ounce bone-in pork chops Citrus brine (recipe follows) Ancho chili marinade (recipe follows) Chimichurri sauce base (recipe follows) C harred pineapple chimichurri (recipe follows)

Citrus brine

4 ounces sugar 4 ounces salt 8 cups water 3 ounces cider vinegar 1 lime 1 lemon 1 orange 6 sprigs of oregano 4 garlic cloves 4 sprigs of thyme 4 bay leaves 1 ounce black pepper Note: 1 ounce is equal to approximately w2 tablespoons

Directions:

In a large container, combine sugar, salt, water, and vinegar, and whisk until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved.

Cut the lime, lemon, and orange in half and add them to the container with the water mixture. Add the oregano, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and black pepper. Place the pork chops in the brine and marinate overnight.

1 pound dry ancho chilies 1 ounce rosemary 1 ounce thyme 4 ounces diced garlic 2 ounces honey 2 ounces extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 ounce diced roasted tomatoes

Rehydrate the ancho chilies by placing them in a bowl of hot water (enough to cover) for 20 minutes. Once done, remove all seeds from the peppers — if you don’t remove the seeds, the sauce will be bitter.

Place all ingredients in a blender and mix at high speed. If you would prefer a smoother consistency, add a little bit of water while blending.

Remove the pork chops from the brine and smother them in marinade. Let them marinate in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours.

After 2 to 3 hours in the marinade, your pork chops are ready to cook. Bring your grill’s temp to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cook pork chops for 9 minutes on each side or until the inner temp of the pork chop hits 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will give you a very juicy pork chop. Once done, let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

Chimichurri sauce base ½ ounce chili flakes 4 ounces cider vinegar 7 bay leaves Pinch of salt

Charred pineapple chimichurri

1 fresh pineapple 3 ounces extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to brush on the pineapple before grilling Salt to taste 4 shallots, finely diced 1 bunch of cilantro 1 bunch of parsley

Cut off the pineapple skin and cut the fruit into large segments. Brush them each with oil and season them with salt. Place on a grill and cook until they have a nice char.

Set them aside to cool. Once cool, cut the pineapple into medium-size (1/2”) cubes. Add the shallots. Place everything in a mixing bowl and add the 3 ounces of olive oil.

Rinse the cilantro and parsley bunches with cold water and pat dry. Pick the leaves from their stems and chop finely. Place the chopped herbs on a sheet tray lined with a paper towel to dry.

To finalize the chimichurri, mix together 2 ounces of the chimichurri sauce base with 4 ounces of the pineapple mixture. Add the chopped herbs. From here, it is up to you whether to add more chimichurri sauce base to the mixture. Doing so will bring a more acidic flavor to the dish.

Assembly:

Use a knife to cut the bone from the pork chop, and then slice the meat length wise.

Place on a plate. Drizzle chimichurri over the meat and place the bone atop the pork chop slices for presentation.

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

MADE IN MICHIGAN, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 20

Let’s start basic: Why do you love food so much?

With cooking, there’s that idea of being really creative. There are five tastes on the tongue: salty, sweet, sour, umami, and bitter. How [do] you balance those out? Like Sour Patch Kids, they’re sweet and sour.

Coffee with sugar in it is bittersweet. So there are all these little things that you can really just start playing with. Then you’ve got temperature and texture. You can add freshness or rawness, spiciness. It’s an endless possibility to create something new.

That’s one, but two, we all need to eat. And there you can have instant gratification — most of the time, hopefully [laughs]. Somebody eats it and smiles or is like, “Wow, that was delicious.” There are not many things in the world where you can get that kind of feedback right away.

You’ve used that creativity to come up with some unique dishes. Tell me about that.

Bunya bunya is a native pine tree, the world’s largest pine tree. Therefore, it creates the world’s largest pine cone. They fruit every three years. I’ve been here for a year, still waiting for the pine cones to fruit. But I’m stepping over these dead branches and saying, “Hell, surely these have flavor.” So I picked up all the branches and made ice cream with [them]. We set the ice cream of dead branches on the dead branch, and then you eat [it].

And ... what does that taste like?

It’s like rich mahogany. A roasted chestnut flavor is the best way I can describe it. It’s just f---ing delicious.

You’ve traveled all over the world as a chef. Why choose Australia?

It’s beautiful to live here. The lifestyle is very good. It kind of has this slow pace.

And then I looked at the restaurant — it’s in the middle of botanic gardens — and I was like, “This is a world-class setting. All it needs is someone to spearhead it.”

How does being an outsider to Australia with its unique flora and fauna affect how you prepare food?

People come in and say, “Hell, no one’s even thought about using the branches the way you’re doing it.” I think the way I would describe it is, people that are here kind of have blinders … and I’m like, “Wow, these are new flavors and things I’ve never tasted,” and I’m just using my past experiences, obviously professionally but also personally, to create new ideas. I think it gives me an upper edge sometimes being an outsider coming in.

And I mean, how fun is that?

It’s pretty fun.

Executive Plastic Surgery, PLLC

Shaher W. Khan MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon H

eather, one of Dr. Shaher W. Khan’s many patients to come from out of state to have breast explant surgery from one of the nation’s leading plastic surgeons, says she dealt with breast implant illness, a serious and painful condition, for years before meeting Dr. Khan.

And Heather has a message for others experiencing this very real and serious condition: “If you’re feeling sick, it’s important to get them out and to feel good again,” she says.

“I had implants for four years and I was sick for three years. A year after I had my implants, I started having severe joint and muscle pain and inflammation. I was extremely fatigued. My life was horrible.”

Heather didn’t have to wait weeks or months to start feeling better. Within three days after her explant surgery, she said the pain was gone and she was already experiencing more energy.

Dr. Khan, double board-certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery as well as general surgery, is the founder of Executive Plastic Surgery, PLLC in Novi.

Well-respected by patients and medical professionals alike, Dr. Khan believes patient education and realistic expectations are key to the success of any surgical procedure. He takes the time to get to know his patients and to understand their goals, and he provides the latest information and options, allowing each patient to make the best decision regarding surgery.

Dr. Khan has become a leader and advocate for women such as Heather, who suffer from breast implant illness. A large and growing group of women have experienced adverse health effects, termed “breast implant illness,” which are attributed to the implants in their chest. Since 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has received more than 350,000 incident reports involving breast implants. France has even gone so far as to ban macro-textured and polyurethane implants, over cancer concerns.

Dr. Khan says there are a lot of variables involved in breast implant illness that need to be defined and researched better, but the women who experience this illness are clearly sick and in pain.

“I’ve seen patients so sick from breast implant illness that they arrive in a wheelchair because they can’t walk,” he says. “And this is the illness that we continue to learn and define so that hopefully, the vast majority of the plastic surgeons are in agreement that it does exist and it is a reality, and we can do more research so we can offer our patients the absolute very best.”

Dr. Khan stresses that no two patients are alike, and what happens to one patient can be very different from what another patient experiences.

“There are patients who come in with only three sets of problems on the breast implant illness questionnaire and some with more than 50,” he says. “The most important questions to ask are did the patient recover from her breast

ExecPlastic.FP.HD.0922.indd 2

implant illness, is she free and void of the many symptoms of breast implant illness, and can she have a good quality of life and health?”

Dr. Khan says that during the surgical procedure, it’s very important to remove the implant and the capsule as one system, which is known as EN BLOC removal. “It’s a difficult procedure to perform because the capsule adheres to the ribs and the intercostal muscles, which are in close proximity to the lungs,” he says. “This requires a surgeon with experience in the procedure and in thorax wall reconstruction. The goal of the surgery is the removal of the implant and capsule, and to check for any abnormal fluid and or any abnormal masses.”

1959

IF ONE HAD TO ASSIGN A TITLE TO THIS IMAGE, “Detroit’s Confluence of the Old and New” would be as fitting as any. The city’s architectural landscape was changing after World War II, particularly as the new Civic Center buildings sprang up. Old structures were beginning to come down, and fresh faces were replacing them. In the foreground is the spanking-new National Bank of Detroit building, which opened in September 1959. At 611 Woodward Ave., it replaced Detroit’s first skyscraper, the Hammond Building, erected in 1889 and demolished in 1956 to make way for the 14-story NBD building, now called the Qube, part of the Quicken Loans empire. Before the Qube, it was named Chase Tower and, preceding that, Bank One Center. There are two throwbacks to the 19th century here: the Michigan Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument (1867) on Campus Martius, and to NBD’s immediate right, Old City Hall (1871), the latter of which would meet the wrecking ball in 1961. In its place came Kennedy Square, supplanted by the One Kennedy Square building. Pictured also are some of Detroit’s most notable skyscrapers, both then and now: the Penobscot tower (1928) behind NBD, with the Dime Building (1912, now Chrysler House) to the right rear of the Penobscot. At left rear is the Guardian Building (1929). Across Woodward is the facade of the First National Building, NBD’s original home, built by Albert Kahn in 1922. Kahn died in 1942, but the firm bearing his name, Albert Kahn Associates, which still thrives today in the city’s New Center, designed the new NBD structure. Although some have criticized the often sterile, unornamental style of post-World War II architecture, there are some notable exceptions, and this is one. It’s a marvel of modernism, with a checkered window pattern of white marble and glass. W. Hawkins Ferry, author of The Buildings of Detroit, also praised how thoughtfully it was situated. “The building was set back 40 feet from the street to make way for an esplanade shaded by a double row of trees. The two-story main banking room is faced by a glass wall, which is recessed behind a colonnade.” —George Bulanda
