I recently received my copy of Malibu Times Magazine and to say

that I am flattered to be featured in an issue with so many talented people

is an understatement. Thank you for including me in such good company. I

am a little disappointed I did not make the cover though. I could have out-

jumped Shwayze if you had only asked. —Andrew Benton, Pepperdine

University President

I want to thank you for a wonderful article. Also, I appreciate that you

showed five of my works of art. I think your magazine is outstanding and I am

proud to be featured in it. —Herb Tannen

You and your team did a great job! Shwayze is floored he made the cover, that was a big surprise. They were on

‘KTLA Good Morning LA’ yesterday and they showed the Malibu Times

Magazine. Thank you again so much!” —Candace Bowen

T H E P L E A S U R E O F F O O D

A friend told me that I am

most happy and content when

I am eating.

I laughed, or smiled, as my

mouth was full when he told me

that, but it’s true.

The sensorial pleasure of eating

envelops me, whether I am biting

into a thick, roast beef sandwich or

dining on a gourmet meal.

And never is food better than

when it is picked, plucked or

pulled straight from the ground

and prepared fresh for a meal.

That’s what many Malibu locals

are doing in their own backyards—

growing mostly organic fruits,

vegetables and herbs. Some

have small gardens that

supplement their home-cooked

meals. Others grow enough sell to

local restaurants and markets as

their forefathers did when Malibu

was truly a rural town.

It’s a calling back to simpler,

healthier times.

Even Malibu restaurants, like

Savory in Point Dume Village,

search locally for fresh produce

such as figs from Vital Zuman

Farms or, as Savory owner Paul

Shoemaker told me, he even

gets fresh herbs from actor-

director Emilio Estevez’s

Point Dume home garden.

This issue we featured some of

these backyard farmers, such as

Kelly Meyer, who is working toward

her vision to bring awareness

about healthy eating to children

nationwide, and Helene Anderson,

whose plethora of fresh garden

fare she serves as dinner to guests

in her backyard through a venture

called Malibu Farm. There’s also

Larry Thorne who returned to his

family roots and started planting

and growing full-time.

We’ve got a lot more to chew

on this issue, from our Holiday

Recipe Contest winner and writer

Melonie Magruder’s vegan holiday

feast to recommendations on great

out-of-town eateries. Also, check

out our Malibu Homemade page,

which features local purveyors of

natural honey, olive oil, and other

locally made products, which

make great gifts for the holidays.

Bon Appétit!

Oscar Zagal, a Mexican-born,

award-winning photographer, is

best known for his integration

of stylistic portraiture and

documentary. Zagal is currently

focused on photographing the

Latin rock movement. Zagal

said, “I ate stink bugs from the

region of Taxco in Mexico when

I was 12. They are considered

a delicacy. I collected them

from the trees, like everyone

else, and ate them alive in a

taco, accompanied with a very

hot sauce, of course. Not my

favorite, ever.”

Kim Devore is an Emmy

Award-winning television

producer who has written and

produced hundreds of hours

of news and entertainment

programming, most recently

for the Travel Channel. “That’s

easy,” Devore said. “Bear Paw

and Moose Nose at a formal

sit down dinner in China while

doing a documentary for CBS.

We had no choice since we

were guests of the Chinese

government. We bailed and

moved to the Oriental Hotel in

Hong Kong before they got to

cat a few days later.”

Melonie Magruder: Wearer

of many hats, Magruder has

run a theatre company in

Paris, published short fiction,

written news and features for

publications in Los Angeles,

and raised three children in

addition to being a regular

contributor to Malibu Times

Magazine. Her first feature

film goes into production

in Paris in 2012.

“As a vegetarian now, I think

back to when I would indulge

in fois gras--that most French

of delicacies,” Magruder said.

“I am a more conscious eater

now and the methods for

producing fois gras dismay me.

I did try fried grasshoppers

once. Salty.”

Noé Montes: Under the

umbrella of Noé Montes

Photography, Montes creates

fine artwork as well as

commissioned work for clients

such as the Los Angeles Police

Department and University

of Southern California.

“The weirdest thing I have

ever eaten is probably fried

grasshoppers,” he said. “I ate

them because some friends

went on a trip to southern

Mexico and brought some back

for me. They actually were

not bad. They tasted like

dried shrimp.”

MacKenzie Ring: Editorial

Assistant Ring is a sophomore

in college who started her

journey into journalism as

an intern with Malibu Times

Magazine. In her spare time,

she tutors homeless youth in

Ventura County and is also a

teacher’s assistant at a high

school in the San Fernando

Valley. “The weirdest thing

I’ve eaten would have to be a

grasshopper. I went down to

city walk in Los Angeles with

a few friends and they were

selling salted grasshoppers in

a candy store and we all tried

one out of curiosity,” Ring said.

“It was pretty gross and I don’t

think I’ll be trying any type

of salted bug out of curiosity

again.”

Photographer Roxanne

McCann is a San Francisco

native who holds a bachelor’s

degree in the classics from

the University of California,

Santa Barbara. She has a large

repertoire of work and her

photography has been featured

in publications such as People

Magazine, In Style and Hawaii

Magazine, among others.

McCann’s fine art photography

is also in private collections

worldwide. She said, “Opihi, the

Hawaiian limpet, encased in

a hard shell, with a muscular

foot that attaches to rocks in

the ocean. I tried it because it

is a delicacy in Hawaii since it

is rarely offered, I accepted it,

noting the rare opportunity to

try this raw mussel, that many

consider a treat.”

CHRONICLING THE SURF LIFE: A Q&A WITH ANTHONY FRIEDKIN B Y R O X A N N E M C C A N N | P O R T R A I T B Y O S C A R Z A G A L


Photographer Anthony Friedkin’s exhibit, “The

Surfing Essay,” is a personal interpretation and visual

diary of his more than forty-five years as a surfer and photographer. It is an exploration of the surfing

subculture, including an inside look at the vibrant and

experimental era of the 1970s, as well as his views of waves as “liquid sculpture, moving

with dynamic force and ethereal beauty.”

Images from Friedkin’s many photo essays are in the

permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum

of Art, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, The J. Paul

Getty Museum in Brentwood, The Museum of Modern Art

in San Francisco and in many private collections around the

world. A major exhibition of Friedkin’s work at the de Young

Museum in San Francisco is scheduled for 2014.

As part of “Pacific Standard Time,” a collaboration of more than sixty cultural

institutions throughout Southern California initiated by the J. Paul Getty Research Center to document postwar

art in Southern California, “The Surfing Essay” opened in September at the

DRKRM Gallery on Spring Street, Los Angeles where Friedkin talked with

MTM about his work.

Q + AF R I E D K I N

MTM: A great deal of the focus in “The Surfing Essay” is on Malibu. What brought you here and contributed to your evident affinity for this town?AF: My parents bought a beach house between Topanga and Big Rock in the 1950s. My father used to take my brother and me to Point Dume when we were very small. Looking over the ocean from the headland, walking in that mixture of soil and sand, we felt such freedom, like we were on the last frontier.

Some of the first pictures I ever took were in Malibu. I got my first camera when I was eight, a Brownie, and started taking pictures of my surroundings, the waves hitting the jetty, the crabs on the sand, and my brother and his friends playing on the beach. And I was relentless, constantly asking my mother to take me to the little drugstore at Las Flores and PCH, by the La Costa Post Office, where Malibu Divers is now, to get my pictures developed and buy more film.

MTM: Your dynamic and sometimes fearsome wave photos are an almost unexpected contrast to your gritty, edgy photos of people. The nature photography of Ansel Adams and Edward Weston can be thought of as defining the genre. Why does your work have a different look and feel than theirs?AF: I shoot 35 millimeter roll film instead of using a larger format like the 4x5 or 8x10 plate film that they used. The 35 millimeter film has a special grain structure and I’m shooting the seascape, not the landscape. My wave photos are unlike Ansel Adams’ historical photographs of Half Dome in Yosemite because the dome itself is there all the time. Although its appearance changes under different light, it’s static. But every wave is unique, like a bolt of lightning. »

U P F R O N T / Q & A

When a wave breaks it releases an insane amount of energy. It could light New York City for a week if it were harnessed. The whitewater moves toward shore, washes up, goes back and it’s gone. It’s a privilege to witness. And that exact wave will never exist again in time and space.”

MTM: How does the power of the ocean inform your work? AF: Waves are fascinating because they symbolize the universe. Most energy moves in waves. We have waves of emotion and delight, there are musical waves and electromagnetic waves. As an artist, I am aware that I use the medium of photography to capture images of waves that symbolize, and in a metaphorical sense, represent the energy in the universe.

MTM: Your wave photographs have a lightness and brightness. When you photographed the people and places surrounding the surf culture, out of the water, did you feel like you were showing the dark side?AF: In the 1970s, when I shot many of these images, there was a sense of freedom: free expression, alternate hippie lifestyles, late nights, beautiful girlfriends, no remorse, no thought of consequences. We were surf warriors, nothing could stop us. No one wanted to acknowledge the harm that could be done by heavy drug use. And Malibu knew how to party! In the old days, in the Colony, there was no waiting for it to be five o’clock somewhere to have the first drink. You could just get up and start the day with a Bloody Mary. In some ways, considering the damage done, it turned dark. But it didn’t feel dark at the time. I was simply a professional photographer documenting

my life as a surfer and my love of the ocean.

MTM: You shot a lot in Venice. Did you surf Venice too?AF: I very rarely surfed Venice. It certainly was territorial, and I was a Malibu surfer. But there was so much going on in Venice artistically and creatively, and my interests were not limited by geography. My photo of the burned out "Pacific Ocean Park Pier" was a symbol of when Venice was so degraded, bombed-out looking, like World War III had taken place. But the surf and skateboard culture was strong in Venice, and many of my Dogtown photos were used in the "Dogtown and Z-Boys" documentary.

MTM: Your photograph, “Robbie Dick – Surfboard Shaper,” has an almost hallowed, religious feel. Did you see that while you were taking the photos?AF: I have always ridden Robbie Dick’s surfboards. He is by far the best Malibu shaper. In fact, the couple of times I came back from Venice with one of Jeff Ho’s Zephyr boards, I was treated like a near traitor by my fellow Malibu surfers. The surfboard shaper is the high priest of surfing, the person who creates the instrument a surfer uses to become one with the wave. I wanted to show my reverence and respect for Robbie, my feeling of awe, when I photographed him.

MTM: In what direction are you going now with your photography? AF: I am using black and white panchromatic film as well as digital and will continue to develop and print in my darkroom as always.

I will continue to work on "The Surfing Essay," photographing waves and chronicling my life.” ✶

Malibu Times Magazine HOLIDAY RECIPE CONTEST WINNER:B Y M A C K E N Z I E R I N G | P H O T O G R A P H Y B Y O S C A R Z A G A L

Sophia Rabanes, author of “Cooking With Mother Nature,

Trendy California Food That Goes Crunch,” has won the Malibu Times

Magazine Holiday Recipe contest with her entry of “Bahamian

Curry Lamb.”

Chef Francesco Velasco of Tra di Noi restaurant in Malibu prepared

the dish following Rabanes' recipe. Velasco judged the finalist’s recipe,

on a scale of 1 to 10, focusing on the clearness/preciseness of the

ingredients and instructions, ease of preparation and delicious factor.

Velasco raved that Rabanes’ recipe was easy to make

and rich with flavor.

While on vacation in Nassua, Bahamas, Rabanes and her

husband "fell in love" with the Bahamian Curry Lamb dish and

felt inspired to recreate it. "My favorite foods are the simple foods

that are nutritious and good for you. In my home, we eat a lot of foods that contain fresh vegeta-

bles and fruits and grains; natural foods, the way God intended, for us to be healthy," Rabanes said.

Rabanes has won a one-hundred dollar gift certificate to

BeauRivage restaurant, tickets for Malibu Cinemas / Hollywood

Theaters and a holiday music mix from Gold Dust Entertainment.

A Holiday Feast Sans the Beast: Delicious Vegetarian Options for your Holiday Meal

B Y M E L O N I E M A G R U D E R | P H O T O G R A P H Y B Y N O É M O N T E S

When I proposed the idea

of having an all vegan Thanksgiving meal this year to my nephew, Diego Bob, who lives in Dallas, he told me, “I think you’ve been in California too long.”

However, what my red-meat-eating Texan nephew might not know is that there is plenty of evidence our forefathers fre-quently relied on a plant-based diet. Guns didn’t always shoot straight and traps didn’t always work. So on those occasions when early Pilgrims didn’t bag

that holiday turkey, they feasted on harvest crops: corn, grains, yams, squashes, root vegetables, pumpkins and dried fruits.

For my holiday meal, I eschewed the idea of making a vegetarian something that looks like a roasted bird (Tofurky any-one?) and went with quinoa for high protein and essential amino acids.

The rest of the menu might not look like a Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving dinner, but it sets a colorful table, it’s delicious and you might be surprised how

quickly your guests will dive into a meatless meal.

All recipes here are courtesy of the sustainable gardeners profiled in this issue, with a little tweaking from me and Chef Mark Brown, a wizard at vegeta-ble prep and currently the exec-utive manager of The Colony Cafe in West Los Angeles.

They’re made even better with great local purveyors of fine comestibles like Malibu Honey and Malibu Olive Oil. Top it off with some great local wines like Casa Dumetz’s viognier or syrah rosé. »

BACKYARD FA R M E R S

B Y M E L O N I E M A G R U D E R P H O T O G R A P H Y B Y O S C A R Z A G A L


Offering more than beautiful vistas, the deep canyons and watersheds of Malibu provide something else: abundantly rich soil for a burgeoning population of back-yard farmers.

In the first half of the last century, dry farming—planting crops that required minimal irrigation, like lima beans and tomatoes, and preventing evapo-ration with mulch—covered Malibu’s slopes. Developers have since moved in and multimillion dollar mansions have replaced tractor sheds, but one would be surprised at the thriving back-yard agricultural community that exists. Where water-sucking lawns once lay, one can find raised beds of pumpkins and fresh garlic.

Many Malibu residents embrace a green way of living, and their backyard gardens have the added benefit of being sus-tainably maintained; compost has replaced chemical fertilizers, and pesticides are eschewed in favor of homespun pest-rem-edies, like sprinkling cayenne pepper around afflicted plants.

Several of these backyard farmers gave us a tours of their gardens and gardening tips for Malibu's unique microclimate. »

Model GardenHelene Henderson grew up in Sweden, a country with a “considerably shorter growing season.” So she takes full advantage of Malibu’s multiple sunny days on her one and one- third acres of backyard devoted to a cornucopia of edible crops.

Amidst a couple dozen chickens, a pig named Arnold, two goats, two Barbados sheep, a colony of buzzing bees, three children—Celia, Casper and Caden—and producer/director husband John Stockwell, Henderson cultivates food: orange, lemon,

finger lime, almond, peach, apricot, pomegranate and Asian pear trees. Three-year old grapevines. Three hundred raspberry bushes. Sugar snap peas, herbs, tomatoes, squash, artichokes, horseradish, rhubarb, lettuces, chard, arugula and asparagus.

“It’s a full-time job,” Henderson said, as she tore off lemon basil leaves whose perfume envelops your senses. “Unfortunately, I have a full-time job.”

Henderson is tall and willowy with curly hair and model looks. She is also a private chef and teaches cooking classes that serve up the results alfresco in

her garden with local wines, a venture she calls Malibu Farm.

She also gardens organically, composts assiduously, rotating her crops and allowing some plots to go to seed and re-sprout annually. We passed one plot with tall, leggy stalks of something topped by fluttery flowers.

“Asparagus,” Henderson said. “I never replant, I just have a regular harvest schedule all summer, then cut everything down in the winter. And it all comes up again in the spring. One plot will last thirty years.” »

Healthy Switch: The Louks GardenJune Louks, a graduate of UC Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design, was working as an architect when she started to experience paralyzing migraines. After seeing little result with a traditional medicinal approach, Louks decided to change how she ate. She switched to a plant-based diet. The migraines disappeared, her energy, patience and memory leaped forward, and she said

she felt “balanced.”

Consequently, Louks and her husband Jeff turned their quarter-acre of sloped backyard into a garden. Four years and tons of compost later, the Louks backyard is a veritable paradise of bursting sweet plums, the crunchiest of cucumbers and unusually ornamental—and tasty—fruits.

“We try to cultivate only drought-tolerant or food-bearing plants here,” Louks said, guiding a visitor through her winding, terraced garden that employs water-capture devices and zero pesticides. “A lot of backyard farming is about multiple-use planting.”

Flowering basil provides flavorful pesto and feeds her bee colony. Purslane, an annual succulent, is basically a weed whose spread prevents soil erosion. It also has a higher level of omega-3 fatty acids than any other leafy vegetable. And it’s delicious.

Louks refers to her towering avocado trees as her “cows.” “They provide the fats and calcium I need,” Louks said. “I get my ‘steak’ [protein] from hemp and chia seeds, and goji berries.”

Strolling through her garden, she pulled samples from trees and vines. There are apples, tangerines and raspberries, as well as peas, calendula and

cilantro that explodes with flavor. She even pinched off some tiny red fruits from what she called her strawberry trees (Arbutus unedo), a leafy, ornamental shade tree with rust-colored bark.

Louks maintains her garden’s health with a massive composting operation on one side with garden clippings, kitchen scraps and dead leaves stacked in huge pits, creating a continually rotating cycle of natural fertilizer.

“Before this, I was spending at least eighty dollars a week just on tangerines and avocados,” Louks said. “This is much more budget-friendly and you can’t compare the tastes.” »

Family LegacyLarry Thorne is a third-generation farmer. His father cultivated sweet corn, tomatoes and melons in fields that ranged from Topanga Canyon to the Ventura County line. Thorne, a real estate broker, returned to his family roots full-time about three years ago after realizing, he said, “I wasn’t really happy.”

“There’s an old joke about farmers and musicians,” Thorne said. “It asks, 'What would you do if you won the lottery?' The answer is: I’d keep on farming

or playing music ‘till I ran out of money.”

Thorne said there is a big difference between fresh veggies pre-1970 and today.

“In the seventies industrial farming came in,” he said. “You got cheap, quick food, but it’s tasteless.”

So a few years ago, Thorne and his wife Laurel started planting strawberries of such sweet, intense flavor, local restaurants immediately signed up for weekly deliveries.

Thorne started planting more on his ten acres on

Bonsall Drive. Berries, lemons, avocados, tomatoes, corn, kale, chard and squashes. And that’s just the summer crop. He likes to hire Malibu High School youth to help him harvest and prepare loaded “farm boxes” each week for a roster of regular customers.

Thorne said novice gardeners don’t need his kind of acreage to start farming. “We’ve got great soil here and a frost-free climate,” he said. “Just stick some seeds in some compost and you’ll have lunch.” »

Educational BenefitKelly Meyer is one of Malibu’s most visible philanthropists and activists. Her schedule doesn’t permit much time in her garden, so she insisted, “If I can do it, anyone can do it.”

Her modest raised beds produce peas, zucchinis, tomatoes and beautiful chard. Never one to ignore a teachable moment, Meyer’s garden got her to thinking about the nation’s childhood obesity epidemic and First Lady Michelle Obama’s campaign, “Let’s Move!”

Meyer launched “Teaching Gardens,” a program to bring raised beds, and raised awareness, to the nation’s youth. She partnered with then principal of Point Dume Marine Science Elementary School, Chi Kim, and others to go into public schools, construct vegetable beds and provide a curriculum on how to farm in your backyard to inner-city schoolchildren who might not ever have seen a radish growing.

“It teaches delayed gratification as well as opening up a great conversation about what is healthy to eat,” Meyer said. “They see where their food comes from.”

Meyer said she never claimed to be a great backyard gardener, even though she loves it.

“I used to garden with my dad,” she said. “Now, I’m more a megaphone for the benefits of home-grown vegetables.” ✶

Chef Paul Shoemaker has some

serious restaurant cred. He earned

his stripes at the Water Grill in

downtown Los Angeles and built

on that experience at world famous

eateries like Alain Ducasse in New

York City and The French Laundry

in Napa Valley. He joined Bastide

and earned his first Michelin star

a short time later.

Now in Malibu, Shoemaker is

living a chef’s dream come true.

His Savory restaurant is close to

his heart and close to his home

on Point Dume. He was married

in Malibu, which also happened

to be the site of his first date. “I

was born and raised in Southern

California and Malibu is like home

to me,” he said. “Now my son was

born here so the connection is even

deeper. Malibu has the simplicity I

look for in my life and in my food.”

Walk into Savory and there’s

no sign of the dark old Dume

Chinese restaurant. The space is

light and bright with clean woods,

simply dressed tables and massive

picture windows, which take full

advantage of the Malibu sun. The

expanded patio makes the most of

close quarters, which were once

cramped and uncomfortable in

the days of fried won ton and soy

sauce.

The menu is fresh and seasonal.

Because it is composed of the

finest local ingredients, Shoemaker

A TASTE OF THE SWEET LIFE AT SAVORY

EATERY


selects and bases his offerings on whatever looks good that

day. During a tasting for MTM’s Holiday Recipe Contest, for

which Shoemaker prepared a reader’s-submitted ginger-snap

cheesecake, he added fresh figs from Vital Zuman Farms

across the highway. “Malibu is a place where beautiful farms

flourish,” Shoemaker said. “I pick my produce very carefully

and design my menu according to what is provided

by Mother Nature.”

The fare is straightforward and simple, but there’s something

for everyone whether you are a meat lover or after

a great plate of greens.

After being named “Best Restaurant Newcomer in Los

Angeles” in the prestigious Zagat guide and winning rave

reviews from picky Los Angeles Times food critic S. Irene

Virbila, Savory is already making a splash.

Many restaurants in Malibu and other beach cities sadly

believe a view and destination are all you need, and the food is

an afterthought. This place prides itself on its kitchen, and it’s

a difference you can taste.

The menu is varied. On Father’s Day they hosted a full-on

barbecue for carnivores. My father devoured what he said was

one of the best burgers he ever had and my husband loved the

sweet, juicy, perfectly cooked ribs. Bouillabaisse with mussels,

scrimp cod and saffron is a fave among seafood fans, as are

the oysters and crab cakes. For a starter to share, you can’t

beat the fennel sausage, onion, burrata and tomato pizza, or

just a classic margarita with a perfectly prepared crust.

The Jidori chicken breast is a standout, spiced just so.

The long beans with peanuts, sesame and chili are a favorite

healthy option for my mom. The broccoli with burrata and aged

vinegar make you appreciate how far a simply prepared local

ingredient can go.

Shoemaker also goes to local winemakers, such as actor-

director Emilio Estevez’s Casa Dumetz label, whose grapes are

grown on his Point Dume property.

Prices are reasonable for the quality and you can have

a different experience almost every night of the week. On

Mondays, he offers pub grub and a chance to check out the

game on the plasma TV. Tuesdays is for wine lovers with

half-off bottles and corkage. Thursdays you can take in the

sounds of live jazz and there’s even a weekend brunch. On

Sunday you can find classic crowd pleasers like huevos

rancheros, waffles with fresh berries or two eggs any style.

The lunch menu is casual with Caesar salads and field

greens. In season, there’s even a light and bright watermelon

soup with Zuma Canyon herbs.

Don’t forget to save room for the freshly prepared desserts.

Black mission figs with ruby port, hazelnuts and Arbequina olive

oil ice cream give a whole new twist on the after-dinner sweet.

Located at Point Dume Village, Savory is a welcome addition

to the neighborhood. It might be a bit far for those close to

town, but worth the drive. One bite, and your taste buds will

thank you.

This is the second piece in a series on addiction and

rehabilitation in Malibu. Last issue, we published statistics

on the rehab business. As we go forward, we will delve into the issues surrounding addiction

and the road to recovery, as well as the business end.

For addicts in rehabilitation

or those returning to a sober world, some of the biggest challenges on the road to recovery pop up as the

rest of the planet is getting ready to celebrate. The holiday season—with

its emphasis on family reunions and festivities heavy with holiday

“cheer” that usually involve alcohol, a general sense of letting go and let-

ting the good times roll—can push emotional buttons that

lead to temptation. We spoke with several

locals involved with the world of addiction and recovery about the

fraught emotional ambiance of the holiday season and how to get

through the upcoming months with recovery goals still intact.

One Day at a Time: T I P S F O R R E C O V E R I N G A D D I C T S T O M A K E I T T H R O U G H T H E H O L I D A Y SB Y M E L O N I E M A G R U D E R | I L L U S T R A T I O N B Y M A R K A L L E N M I L L E R

K R I S K A N C L E R , a former Microsoft

engineer and consultant, first found his drug

of choice, Cocaine, when he was seventeen

years old. He built a successful career while

high, then lost all his clients due to his raging

addiction. He snorted his last line of cocaine

on May 23, 2008, a month after his father

died. “The first ninety days of sobriety are

the hardest,” Kancler said. “I remember

sitting on the kitchen floor holding my hands

under my legs, just concentrating on getting

through the next moment.”

He applied the “one day at a time” mantra

from Alcoholics Anonymous to every

waking minute, willing himself not to make

that phone call to his dealer. The first time

he tried sobriety he made it through the

holidays because he was in a rehabilitation

center, but he relapsed just afterward.

“It was hard because I knew my brother

was out celebrating family dinners and

parties,” Kancler said. “The second time I

went into rehab after my dad died, I just

knew that I had to do this and that the next

holiday season was going to be different.”

Kancler’s friends in rehab soon became

his family and the next Thanksgiving

through New Year’s Eve, he said, was a

success for him.

“We all acknowledged that it was an

incredible gift to experience the holidays

sober,” Kancler said. “It was my first

holiday season in fifteen years not high.

Rehab: Part 2

H E A L T H


This time, I would go to the

bathroom and it was just to, you

know, go to the bathroom.

It wasn’t everyone watching

me and thinking, 'Is he going to

use?'”

But Kancler said he could

only stay strong by completely

avoiding his old friends and

surrounding himself with people

who didn’t use. Sometimes he

stayed home from parties to “talk

to a plant,” reasoning there would

be another party the next year.

“You can achieve sobriety for

good,” he said. “But you have to

change the scenery and people in

your life to live again.”

Going beyond recovery, Kancler

and his twin brother Marc

collaborated to create a program

that would appeal to youngsters

to “make sobriety cool,” Kancler

said. The brothers even changed

their names legally to “Super

Star” (Kris) and “Rock Star”

(Marc). The Rockstar/Superstar

Project works with substance

abuse experts and medical

professionals to reach out to high

school youth in presentations

heavy on glam rock and candid

testimonial from a robust and

healthy-looking Kancler.

Dr. Annie Thiel is a registered

family therapist and clinical

psychologist who has practiced

in Malibu for nearly forty years.

Malibu has its fair share of

“addiction issues,” she said, as

evidenced by the multitude of

rehabilitation and sober living

facilities that have sprouted

throughout the city.

But she said she will not treat

addicts until they have entered

a recovery program, reasoning,

“Otherwise, you are just treating

the symptoms [alcoholism, drug

addiction] and not the problem.”

Holidays present particular

challenges for addicts because

of the memories they dredge up.

“Divorces, separation, death ...

just plain disappointment with

life, they all come up,” Thiel said.

“So in preparing for the holidays,

addicts need to ask for a lot of

support from their families. Ask

them not to serve alcohol. Speak

up. Then the whole family will join

in a celebration of sobriety, not

heartbreak at a relapse.”

Thiel said addicts must literally

live one day at a time. “And when

that day is over, let the worries

go,” she said. “When you are

sober, it’s easier to remember the

things to be thankful for—good

health, loving relationships and

the things that really matter.”

Thiel often refers addicts to a

program called CAST Recovery,

an organization that has seen a

remarkably high percentage of

success. Director of Recovery

Services Jose Hernandez is

a former addict who credits a

long-term “management plan”

as essential to successful sober

living. Whether one week or ten

years into sobriety, Hernandez

said the key to getting through

emotionally laden holidays is

to take care of your spirituality.

“Check with your sponsor [a

fundamental support system

for anyone who has entered a

recovery program] daily, hourly

if you need to,” Hernandez said.

“Connect with other addicts

because there is relief in sharing

that feeling of overwhelming need

to use.”

H E A L T H

“WHEN YOU ARE SOBER, IT’S EASIER

TO REMEMBER THE THINGS TO

BE THANKFUL FOR—GOOD

HEALTH, LOVING RELATIONSHIPS

AND THE THINGS THAT REALLY

MATTER.”-DR. ANNIE THIEL


Hernandez believes addicts

face particular challenges

within a family who might be

less than completely supportive

or who unwittingly makes tense

situations worse.

“Does the family think

someone's addiction should

remain secret?” Hernandez

asked. “Is there resentment

somewhere for old, painful

memories? Are they walking

on eggshells? Will they serve

alcohol, thinking that rehab

means you’re ‘fixed?’ The trick

is to minimize opportunities for

temptation.”

That means regifting those

cases of wine that come from a

prized client. Leave a party early

if you know the alcohol is going

to start flowing. Most of all, have

a plan. “Obviously, an addict

can’t hang around old friends,”

Hernandez said. “But there

has to be a structured relapse-

prevention plan to get through

each day. Keep the phone

number of your sponsor in your

pocket and use it.”

Similar advice is offered

by Amy Williams, a Malibu

filmmaker and sponsor to

those in recovery. Her own

journey to sobriety was long

and harrowing. Williams was

living with five siblings, a

mother working three jobs and

an alcoholic father in the lower

East Side of New York City when

she started drinking to escape

daily beatings she suffered from

neighborhood kids.

Eventually, it led to “every

kind of drug,” Williams said.

“Anything that would make me

not what I was.”

At her lowest point, Williams

said she finally “asked the

universe for help.” A twelve-step

program led her to sobriety—a

process, she said, that was “not

for pussies.”

On the other side of it now,

Williams displays no judgment

toward those struggling with

demons. “In the beginning,

for a newly recovering addict,

everything is new. You’re like

a baby,” Williams said. “So

emotions are really strong.

When you’re angry, you’re very

angry. When you’re sad, it’s

devastating. As an addict, you’ve

submerged your real feelings

for so long that you can’t handle

your own reality.”

The secret to making it

through the holidays, Williams

said, is for an addict to never

be alone. “We’re a society that

drinks alcohol,” she said. “Social

activity equals drinking. So the

trick is to surround yourself with

a tribe of sober people.”

“Families can make it tough,”

Williams said. “They don’t

understand that 'no, I don’t

really want to wake up, hurt the

people I love, go driving drunk

and get arrested.' I can’t help

myself. It’s a disease. They only

see that you have given in again.”

She suggests looking at

the holidays as a time to try

something different. “Go skiing,”

she said. “Go for a walk with

other sober people. And if a

loved one is an addict, show

all the support you can to keep

him away from using. Because

he is not just trying to keep the

holidays cheerful. He is fighting

for his life.” ✶

“YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE

SCENERY AND PEOPLE IN YOUR

LIFE TO LIVE AGAIN.”
