Three Reasons to See Harry Shearer

Political satirist, impressionist best known for his voices on The Simpsons, and host of public radio’s Le Show, Harry Shearer comes to UCSB’s Campbell Hall on Sunday, March 4 at 4 p.m. He’s a hilarious must-see, and here’s why:

With the draft EIR scheduled for release in less than a month, Santa Barbara County Parks Commissioners gathered on 2/22 to hear the details of the two primary proposals to protect the erosion-plagued shores of Goleta Beach.

Law and Disorder

Undersheriff Kem Shemwell reported to the county supervisors on 2/27 that the governor’s office is no longer pursuing the strategy of collaborating with regions such as Santa Barbara to reduce recidivism by building local prisons, in which inmates in the final year of their terms would receive help in transitioning into civilian life.

Much like the Comedy Central program it is based on, Reno 911!: Miami provides plenty of moments of inspired hilarity, great improvisation, and a lot of jokes that fall flat. The film is deliriously witty in short bursts, but it is also wildly inconsistent-again, like the television series.

Beach Walkin’

Get your heart rate going while taking in beautiful scenery during a beach walk from Haskell’s Beach to Naples and back on Saturday, March 3. Sponsored by members of the Naples Coalition, the three-mile roundtrip route takes about three hours to complete at a leisurely pace, so wear proper attire (shoes, sunhats, sunscreen, etc.) and bring your own water and snacks.
