Interest in gar- dening with native plants, plants that are already adaptedtoCalifornia'sMed- iterranean climate, is grow- ing. Gardening with natives is a sustainable and respon- sible approach to gardening inalow-waterenvironment. In order to help resi- dents learn more about na- tive gardens, Mount Las- sen Chapter, California Native Plant Society will hold Succeed with Native Plants, a horticulture sym- posium, on Sunday, Sept. 14 at Chico Women's Club, 3rd Street and Pine, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 pm. Featured topics will be how to design a pleasing landscape, choose and maintain native plants, create bird and pollinator habitat and use less water and fertilizer. There will also be a question and an- swer session with our ex- pert presenters. There are a number of presenters in- cluding: Susan Kryzwicki, Horticulture Program Chair for state California Native Plant Society and native plant landscape de- signer; Bernadette Balics, owner of Ecological Land- scape Design in Davis, spe- cializing in sustainably-de- signed gardens; Glenn Ke- ator, San Francisco Bay area botanist specializing in native plants and author of Designing California Native Gardens and John Whittlesey, owner of Can- yon Creek Nursery & De- sign in Butte Valley, spe- cializing in use of region- ally adapted plants, and author of The Plant Lov- er's Guide to Salvias Symposium attendees will also have the oppor- tunity to buy native plants from a variety of species chosen to do well in this area. These include gold- enrod, penstemon, white sage, bush monkeyflower, buckwheat, skullcap and more. There will also be a wildflower seed mix, cus- tom blended for the north valley. There will also be a variety of native plant gar- dening books for purchase. The cost for the sym- posium is $35 or $30 for a current CNPS member. which includes lunch. At- tendees will also receive a packet of useful materials. Visit mountlassen.cnps.org has more information and links to online registra- tion or a form to register by mail. HORTICULTURE Symposium to focus on planting while in a drought By John Rogers TheAssociatedPress BEVERLY HILLS You couldn't miss Hollywood talent agent Sid Levin's of- fice in the old days: It wasn't much bigger than a closet and it was sometimes filled with burglars, bank robbers and gang members, all try- ing to break into the mov- ies. These days you'll find ev- eryone from Gulf War vet- erans to a 15-time world arm-wrestling champion there, and Levin didn't bring them in for protec- tion. They're looking to be movie stars, too. In a town where seem- ingly everyone wants to be a star, but few look like James Franco or Scarlett Jo- hansson, Levin is the talent agent who represents the people who look like the rest of us. Some play tough guys because they once were. Or hard-core military types be- cause they were that. "I am kind of the strange guy here in Hollywood," says Levin from behind the desk of his office, which is actually just down the road in adjacent Beverly Hills. "I rep a lot of talented people, but people who are kind of the underdog. But that's OK. I'm the underdog, too." One of his breakout un- derdogs is the arm-wres- tling champion and former juvenile hall guard Dot-Ma- rie Jones. She's been nomi- nated for three Emmys since landing the role of Coach Beiste on "Glee." Although she missed out on a nomina- tion at this month's awards show, he says, he's confident she'll get one eventually — because she's that good. On his desk, meanwhile, is an old-fashioned Rolo- dex with a list of more than 100 names, many of people you've likely never heard of but realize you sort of rec- ognize from somewhere. There's Abdoulaye N'gom, for example. The Senega- lese-born actor who came to Los Angeles 35 years ago with the unlikely dream of becoming a movie star, al- though he spoke little Eng- lish and what he did came out in a thick accent reflect- ing the years he'd spent in Senegal and France. "But Sid said, 'There's just something about you. I know you're going to work,'" recalled the actor who after years of small parts in films like "George of the Jungle" recently played the kindly hotel manager in the Drew Barrymore-Adam Sandler comedy "Blended." Likewise, when Levin saw the square-jawed, no- nonsense-looking Coast Guard Petty Officer Mike Dalager, he says, he knew just what roles to send him after. Dalager's been a cop, a soldier and a member of the crew of The Enterprise in "Star Trek: Into Dark- ness." Not that he always plays the good guy. He was also a Taliban militiaman in "Eagle Eye." "It's definitely a what- you-look-like industry," laughs Dalager, adding Levin seems to know that better than anyone. Levin, 56, himself looks like he could have walked out of a movie about an old- time agent in the mold of "Broadway Danny Rose." He's short, paunchy and, on this day, dressed in slacks and a pull-over blue shirt with a gold medallion hang- ing around his neck. Thirty years ago, the for- mer stand-up comic and singing-telegram salesman put up a shingle in a tiny of- fice at the fabled but then- faded intersection of Holly- wood and Vine. "People told me I had to move because nobody would go there after dark," he recalled of Holly- wood's rougher days. Kids from the even rougher streets of South Los Angeles would, how- ever, especially after Levin got seven of them roles in director John Singleton's breakthrough movie "Boyz n the Hood" in 1991. They had been sent to him by a Compton acting coach named Anthony Bean who was trying to get them away from street gangs. SHOW BIZ Agent gives Hollywood edgy look with 'real' people JAE C.
