Artists who created ofrenda altars for the Detroit In-stitute of Arts (DIA) exhibition Ofrendas: Celebrating el Día de Muertos, will talk about their ofrendas on Sunday, November 11 at 3 p.m. in the museum’s Lecture Hall. Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a Mexican tradi-

tion that honors the life and memory of lost loved ones through creating ofrendas, or offerings, set on an altar. The event and exhibition are free with museum ad-

mission, which is free for Wayne, Oakland and Macomb County residents.Members of the Mexican Consulate open the program

with an overview of the Día de Muertos tradition. Then, each artist in the exhibition will give a one-to-two-min-ute talk about the meaning and inspiration of their own ofrenda altar and answer questions from the audience. Additionally, the Friends on Board Foundation, a non-

profit that promotes education, culture and well-being of Hispanics in Michigan, will perform a Mexican folk dance. This is the sixth year that the DIA has worked with the

community to host an ofrendas exhibition. The altars range from 3 to 8 feet tall and are created from a vari-ety of materials, including found objects, papel picado (paper cutouts), artificial f lowers and food, LED candles, sugar skulls, photos, clay, wood and more. The exhibi-tion is on view now through Sunday, November 11. For more information, call (313) 833-7900. The DIA is

located at 5200 Woodward Ave., in Greater Detroit’s Cul-tural District.

Real Ghostbusting at the Dearborn Historical MuseumThe former Detroit

Arsenal at Dearborn-ville is today home to the Dearborn Histori-cal Museum — the circa 1833 Comman-dant’s Quarters, the 1883 McFadden-Ross House, and the 1831 Richard Gardner House, Dearborn’s oldest building out-side of Greenfield Vil-lage.These three build-

ings comprising the Dearborn Historical Museum will be the site of an authentic ghost hunting ad-venture from 7 p.m. to midnight on the evenings of October 27 and 28, as the Museum partners with the Great Lakes Apparition Seekers to search out real ethereal spirits. Participants will explore the museum properties and be

taught to detect ghosts using specialty detection equip-ment, while learning paranormal research techniques. Each of the two scheduled ghost walks is limited to 40 par-ticipants, and costs $40 per person. For more information, call (313) 565-3000, or see thedhm.com.

The DSO this week is pre-senting visiting conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali and pianist Vikingur Ólafsson in a program of Sibelius’ Lemminkäinen's Return, Grieg’s Concerto for Piano, and Sibelius’ Symphony No. 5. This will take place at Orchestra Hall on Thurs-day, Oct. 25, at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, Oct. 27 at 8 p.m. In addition, Icelandic pia-

nist Vikingur Olafsson (pictured) will be giving a solo performance on Fri-day evening at 7 p.m. at the Max that will include works of J.S. Bach and Philip Glass. Those attending the DSO

performance will be able to buy tickets for this singular event for $8 per ticket. For further information,

check DSO.org. Mahler’s Ninth Symphony

is an important landmark in the symphonic reper-toire. As one can expect from Mahler, it is scored for a large symphony orches-tra, and a performance time of approximately an hour and a half. It is Mahler’s last completed symphony. Ac-cording to some musicolo-

gists, there is a farewell message in it, presumably in anticipation of the end of his life (Mahler was suf-fering from a serious heart ailment, which caused his death a year later). Performance will take

place this coming Sat-urday by the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra (Arie Lipsky, Music Director and Conductor) at the Michigan Theater, 8 p.m. For those who are interested, there is a pre-concert talk, usually allowing Lipsky to describe the music to be performed in a manner that makes it understandable to the av-erage listener. For more information,

check a2so.com, or call (734) 994-4801. Michigan Opera Theatre in

cooperation with the UMS is presenting modern day ballet this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. A Letter to My Nephew is the latest dance theater work of company co-found-er Bill T. Jones. It relays the story of his nephew Lance T. Briggs. On the way to a promising dance career, Briggs struggled with drug addiction, leading to pros-

titution and eventually be-coming paraplegic. Jones’ cultural critique is

rewritten for the time and place of every performance and will be unique to De-troit, incorporating refer-ences to local culture, cus-toms and architecture as they relate to world events. Jones’ nephew, Lance T.

Briggs, did make it. Briggs, now 46, is a paraplegic af-ter living, what Jones has termed, "quite a profligate life" as a dancer, model, sex worker and crack addict. Reflecting his nephew’s misery, the piece depicts social and political issues.Highly recommended.

For more information call the Detroit Opera House at (313) 237-7464. The CMSD is presenting

a program featuring Anto-nio Meneses, cello and Paul Galbraith, guitar, on Friday, October 26, 7:30 p.m., at the Grosse Pointe War Me-morial, 32 Lake Shore Dr., in Grosse Pointe Farms; on Saturday, October 27, 7:30 p.m., at the Village The-ater at Cherry Hill, 50400 Cherry Hill Rd., in Canton; on Sunday, October 28,

3 p.m., at Varner Recital Hall at Oakland University, 371 Varner Dr., in Roches-ter Hills. The program is Haydn/Arr. Galbraith: Key-board Sonata in C-sharp mi-nor, Hob XVI:36, Moderato, Keyboard Sonata in E major, Hob XVI:31, Finale: Presto, Schubert: Sonata in A minor, D. 821, Arpeggione Clóvis

Foot Health Today

DR. JAMES SCHELBERG

BOWLING AND YOUR FEET QUESTION: I work in an office all week. Weekends I usually spend with relatives. About the only exercise I get is bowling twice a week in a league, yet lately my feet have been killing me. Could it be the bowling?

ANSWER: Indeed, the foot-work involved in bowling can be painful to the feet. Repeated pounding and sliding, however mild, can cause traumatic shock of toes and heels. Let your Podiatrist help you. He can prescribe cushion soles

PODIATRIST

to prevent calluses and blisters caused by sliding. Orthotic devices can also be inserted in prescribed bowling shoes to restore proper balance and reduce risk of injury.

27th Payne-Pulliam Door Opener AwardsLaydell Harper

The Payne-Pulliam School is celebrating its 27th Annual Door Opener Awards Fundrais-er on Friday, November 2nd at the Roostertail. The non-profit school and training institute has spent more than 44 years giving back to the community by providing literacy training to youth, and young and older adults in the city of Detroit. If you were born and raised

in Detroit or have lived in De-troit for a number of years you are familiar with the Payne-Pulliam School, that is often re-ferred to as the old fashioned looking building at 2345 Cass.Established in 1973, two

young black women Betty E. Pulliam and Freddie M. Lind-say-Payne, saw a need and were immediately on a mis-sion to serve disadvantaged

people and individuals seek-ing individualized training in Business Office, Technology training, Literacy Skills, GED Completion and Job Place-ment.“All our students are gener-

ally past high school age,” said Lindsay-Payne, vice presi-

dent/coordinator.The school, which was ac-

credited in 1978 to offer busi-ness education and granted non-profit status in 1983, has been a Michigan Works! Affili-ate since 1996. “While the word ‘school’ is in

our name, we’re more a train-

ing institution,” says Pulliam. “We have always been funded through various governmental entities. We’ve worked with the State of Michigan and some of their funded programs. Ninety percent of our funded programs have come through the City of Detroit with their employment and training pro-grams. And then we’ve done work with the Detroit Public Schools.” Payne-Pulliam has main-

tained a success rate of over 60% in job placement, a mini-mum 2 grade level increase in reading and math levels for their participants. This year the Payne-Pulliam

School of Trade and Com-merce (PSTC) will service the Food Stamp Employment and Training (Plus) Program, as-sisting food stamp recipients who don't receive cash grants to obtain employment and training that allows them to

gain earnings that will enable them to support their families without government subsi-dies. The 2018 Legacy in Education

Honorees are: Alison Vaughn, President of Jackets for Jobs; Lisa Phillips, Principal, Cass Technical High School; Dr. Arthur I. Bouier Jr., Platinum Care Physicians; Jen Millan Co-Founder and Head of School Detroit Prep; Will Sampson, Associate Vice Chancellor Student Services WCCD; and Evrod Cassimy, Emcee, WDIV Morning Anchor.The 27th Annual Door Open-

er Award Dinner will be held Friday, Nov. 2nd at the Roost-ertail. VIP Reception 6 p.m., Dinner & Awards at 7 p.m. Tickets begin at $150 per per-

son. For information about this year’s Door Opener fundraiser see paynepulliamschool.org, or call (313) 963-4710 or (313) 825-2708.

CINEMA CULTURE

A Review by Paul Arlon

Sometimes, I see a movie that, on paper, seems like a surefire winner. A really respectable cast and a potentially great story idea which takes place in one of my favorite cinematic settings — the wild and untamed American west. What could possibly go wrong

with a movie having a bunch of my favorite attributes? Well, how about...everything.I heard about The Sisters Broth-

ers, and was downright eager to see it. Yee-hah, a shoot 'em up! It's the story of the Sisters Brothers, a pair of rugged paid killers sent to track down an engineer (Riz Ahmed) who has developed an unconventional (and successful) way to mine gold.With John C. Reilly, right, Joa-

quin Phoenix (both pictured), and Jake Gyllenhaal, as an overly pensive and reluctant member of an eventual group of mismatched saddlemates; six-shooters; rode-hard horses, gunfights; gold

prospecting — it was sounding better and better. And, then I saw it.If I could have gotten my money

back, I would have. Except I didn't pay for a ticket.I usually try to give every movie

I see a fair shake. I fully realize that every film is a major effort from hundreds, if not thousands, of skilled men and women, highly educated, schooled in advanced film technologies, and so on. But, however masterfully

trained these filmmakers have been, the single most important talent that the top of the project must have, is that of understand-ing their source material.And, for me, that's the deal-

breaker, here. I was probably expecting too

much — like wanting to see a western that harkened back to the days of John Ford skies with no blurred delineation between the Good and Bad Guys.French Director Jacques Au-

The Sisters Brothers diard, a protege of Hollywood outcast, Roman Polanski, wrote the screenplay with a partner, Thomas Bidegain, and this script plainly begs the question — did these guys ever see an episode of Have Gun Will Travel? 'Cause any one half-hour of Richard Boone's hired gunsmith Paladin slapping leather was as good or as better a satisfyin and complete story than was the two full hours of this drifting almost-western.It doesn't mean that Audi-

ard isn't a good director, and it doesn't mean that he directed this specific script poorly. That's not the case. What he did, he did well.But, if I were to compare the

westerns that I watched in my youth (and still do watch) with this film, The Sisters Brothers, I think it's possible that the film-makers simply lack an inherent connection to this much-fiction-alized American western histo-ry-based source material. That may sound too academic,

but in other words: Audiard didn't grow up with Gunsmoke or Bonanza on his black and white 19" Zenith, every week during the entirety of his youth. And, that might suggest why my idea of what a western should be like, is very different from his.Call this, then, my nostalgia cri-

tique. And to further go all Age-of-Aquarius on this opinion—It just didn't feel like what I under-stand a real western to be. I'm quite certain that this movie

will offer somebody somewhere exactly the western that they want to see. But, it just isn't this particular

cabalerro's cup of sasparilla.
