LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

The term "jumped the shark" often refers to a TV show that was once great but gradually grew stale, and then resorted to implausible plot twists in a desperate attempt to revive its creative verve. I'm a little worried that you may do the equivalent of jumping the shark in your own sphere. APRIL FOOL! I lied. I'm not at all worried that you'll jump the shark. It's true that you did go through a stagnant, meandering phase there for a short time. But you responded by getting fierce and fertile rather than stuck and contrived. Am I right? And now you're on the verge of breaking out in a surge of just-theright-kind-of-craziness.

Give yourself obsessively to your most intimate relationships. Don't bother cleaning your house. Call in sick to your job. Ignore all your nagging little errands. Now is a time for one task only: paying maximum attention to those you care about most. Heal any rifts between you. Work harder to give them what they need. Listen to them with more empathy than ever before. APRIL FOOL! I went a bit overboard there. It's true that you're in a phase when big rewards can come from cultivating and enhancing togetherness. But if you want to serve your best relationships, you must also take very good care of yourself.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

If you happen to be singing lead vocals in an Ozzy Osbourne cover band, and someone in the audience throws what you think is a toy rubber animal up on stage, DO NOT rambunctiously bite its head off to entertain everyone. It most likely won't be a toy, but rather an actual critter. APRIL FOOL! In fact, it's not likely you'll be fronting an Ozzy Osbourne cover band any time soon. But I hope you will avoid having to learn a lesson similar to the one that Ozzy did during a show back in 1982, when he bit into a real bat -- a small flying mammal with webbed wings -- thinking it was a toy. Don't make a mistake like that. What you think is fake or pretend may turn out to be authentic.

It's after midnight. You're half-wasted, cruising around town looking for wicked fun. You stumble upon a warehouse laboratory where zombie bankers and military scientists are creating genetically engineered monsters from the DNA of scorpions, Venus flytraps, and Monsanto executives. You try to get everyone in a party mood, but all they want to do is extract your DNA and add it to the monster. APRIL FOOL! Everything I just said was a lie. I doubt you'll encounter any scenario *that* extreme. But you are at risk for falling into weird situations that could compromise your mental hygiene. To minimize that possibility, make sure that the wicked fun you pursue is healthy, sane wicked fun.

GEMINI May21–June20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

In the spring of 1754, Benjamin Franklin visited friends in Maryland. While out riding horses, they spied a small tornado whirling through a meadow. Although Franklin had written about this weather phenomenon, he had never seen it. With boyish curiosity, he sped toward it. At one point, he caught up to it and lashed it with his whip to see if it would dissipate. This is the kind of adventure I advise you to seek out, Gemini. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. I don't really believe you should endanger your safety by engaging in stunts like chasing tornadoes. But I do think that now is a favorable time to seek out daring exploits that quench your urge to learn.

If you were a ladybug beetle, you might be ready and eager to have sex for nine hours straight. If you were a pig, you'd be capable of enjoying 30-minute orgasms. If you were a dolphin, you'd seek out erotic encounters not just with other dolphins of both genders, but also with turtles, seals, and sharks. Since you are merely human, however, your urges will probably be milder and more containable. APRIL FOOL! In truth, Sagittarius, I'm not so sure your urges will be milder and more containable.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 Novelist L. Frank Baum created the make-believe realm known as Oz. Lewis Carroll conjured up Wonderland and C. S. Lewis invented Narnia. Now you are primed to dream up your own fantasy land and live there full-time, forever protected from the confusion and malaise of the profane world. Have fun in your imaginary utopia, Cancerian! APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. It's true that now would be a good time to give extra attention to cultivating vivid visions of your perfect life. But I wouldn't recommend that you live there full-time.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 "The national anthem of Hell must be the old Frank Sinatra song 'I Did It My Way,'" declares Richard Wagner, author of the book *Christianity for Dummies.* "Selfish pride is Hell's most common trait," he adds. "Hell's inhabitants have a sense of satisfaction that they can at least say 'they've been true to themselves.'" Heed this warning, Leo. Tame your lust for self-expression. APRIL FOOL! I was making a little joke. The truth is not as simplistic as I implied. I actually think it's important for you to be able to declare "I did it my way" and "I've been true to myself." But for best results, do it in ways that aren't selfish, insensitive, or arrogant.

No matter what gender you are, it's an excellent time to get a gig as a stripper. Your instinct for removing your clothes in entertaining ways is at a peak. Even if you have never been trained in the art, I bet you'll have an instinctive knack. APRIL FOOL! I lied. I don't really think you should be a stripper. But I do recommend you experiment with a more metaphorical version of that art. For instance, you could expose hidden agendas that are causing distortions and confusion. You could peel away the layers of deception and propaganda that hide the naked facts and the beautiful truth.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 "The past is not only another country where they do things differently," says writer Theodore Dalrymple, "but also where one was oneself a different person." With this as your theme, Capricorn, I invite you to spend a lot of time visiting the Old You in the Old World. Immerse yourself in that person and that place. Get lost there. And don't come back until you've relived at least a thousand memories. APRIL FOOL! I was exaggerating. While it is a good time to get reacquainted with the old days and old ways, I don't recommend that you get utterly consumed by the past.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Some Aquarian readers have been complaining. They want me to use more celebrity references in my horoscopes. They demand fewer metaphors drawn from literature, art, and science, and more metaphors rooted in gossipy events reported on by tabloids. "Tell me how Kanye West's recent travails relate to my personal destiny," wrote one Aquarius. So here's a sop to you kvetchers: The current planetary omens say it's in your interest to be more like Taylor Swift and less like Miley Cyrus. Be peppy, shimmery, and breezy, not earthy, salty, and raucous. APRIL FOOL! In truth, I wouldn't write about celebrities' antics if you paid me. Besides, for the time being, Miley Cyrus is a better role model for you than Taylor Swift.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Annie Edson Taylor needed money. She was 63 years old, and didn't have any savings. She came up with a plan: to be the first person to tuck herself inside a barrel and ride over Niagara Falls. (This was back in 1901.) She reasoned that her stunt would make her wealthy as she toured the country speaking about it. I recommend that you consider out-of-the-box ideas like hers, Pisces. It's an excellent time to get extra creative in your approach to raising revenue. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. It's true that now is a favorable time to be imaginative about your financial life. But don't try outlandish escapades like hers.

I had to leave my hometown of Santa Cruz years ago in order to live in a decent and affordable state. My 50-year-old brother lives in his van in Santa Cruz because he only has disability income and Section 8 is a disaster with nothing available for him. Both of us were born and raised in Santa Cruz BEFORE the university and Silicon Valley were around. They destroyed our wonderful fishing village. Very sad. — SHIRLEY

RE: CROP CIRCLES Federal organic standards prohibit planting of genetically engineered crop cultivars as well as use of GE-derived processing materials. Traces of transgenic material may appear in crop loads due to inadequate equipment cleanout and subsequent contact of organic with conventional grains. It is not known to what degree crop contamination occurs via pollen, but in many cases the more likely cause is mixing with GE crops during transport, or from contaminated seed stocks. — DETAILS DETAILS

WELLNESS

SUPERBUG The bacteria known as MRSA is resistant to many antibiotics, but Santa Cruz’s College of Botanical Healing Arts, in collaboration with UCSC chemists, have found that it’s no match for a few powerful essential oils.

The War on Bacteria

any eople think essential oils are simply New Age fodder, used for therapeutic and spiritual healing. There is that. But local clinical trials have found that these ancient remedies, which can interact with human physiology, are also proving effective in killing antibiotic-resistant bacteria—a phenomenon that Thomas Frieden, director of the Center for Disease Control warned last summer could be “the next pandemic.” And not just any bacteria— MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant

Staphylococcus Aureus). Resistant to antibiotics like methicillin, penicillin and amoxicillin, the bacteria plagues hospitals, prisons and nursing homes and is responsible for thousands of U.S. deaths a year. The first time I visited the College of Botanical Healing Arts (COBHA) was about a year ago, when I was invited to become a board member. Walking up the herb and flowerlined pathway, I already had a feeling I wanted to be involved with the institution‚ which is located in a modest one-room classroom

in Live Oak filled with botanical illustrations, charts, several dozen oil vials and an entire wall of neatly stocked bookshelves. Yes, I can do this, I thought. But only if these people embrace science. Several minutes later—after leading us through a calm-down, be-here-now meditation— I surrendered all doubts as Elizabeth Jones, COBHA founder, director and instructor, calmly began hashing out the details of the clinical trials she wanted to conduct on essential oils’ effectiveness in killing MRSA. “One of my student’s grandmother

UCSC partners with local nonprofit to find plant-based solution to a deadly superbug BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

fell and broke her hip, and went to the hospital and immediately got MRSA,” says Jones. Responsible for about 86 percent of all healthcare-associated infections, MRSA most commonly affects soft tissue and skin, leading to pus-filled boils. In more severe cases, MRSA can cause necrotizing fasciitis, or flesh-eating disease, becoming deadly when it spreads to blood and vital organs. According to the Public Health Foundation, 94,360 people are infected with MRSA in the U.S. annually, and 18,650 die from it. But, citing fragmented and severe underreporting, the MRSA Survivors Network believes it’s more like 90,000 annual U.S. deaths from MRSA—an estimation based on statistics gathered by the organization Map MRSA (mapmrsa. org). Vancomycin, the drug most commonly used to treat severe infections of MRSA, began to encounter resistance in the 1990s, just 30 years after it was developed— and the next promising drug may take a couple of decades to develop. “I think that the medical community was lured into a false sense of security with the success of the antibiotics that were developed in the mid- and late-20th century. We kind of got complacent, and in fact a lot of the drug companies stopped their antibiotic discovery programs, because it was really a solved problem,” says Scott Lokey, Ph.D, professor of chemistry and biochemistry at UCSC and director of the UCSC’s chemical screening center. Take the synthetic compound triclosan, for instance, which industrial manufacturers have been adding to products—hand sanitizers, soaps, cleaning supplies, surgical instruments and even toys—for decades, something we’re only now starting to become aware might not be such a good idea. “It turns out that it has a very specific mechanism of action that the bacteria can evolve resistance against,” says Lokey. “If triclosan is in every cleaning product everywhere, then now the hospitals don’t necessarily have an >14

effective product, because everything is developing resistance to it.” He adds that “it hasn’t been tested adequately in humans and it’s not necessarily safe.” It’s an arms race that we’re locked into—bacteria seem to have an intelligence of their own, says Lokey, who recently completed two rounds of testing bacteria against 18 essential oils provided by Jones’ company Elizabeth Van Buren, Inc. “The more compounds that you have that are toxic to the bacteria in a given mixture, the harder it is for the bacteria to evolve resistance,” says Lokey. “That doesn’t mean it’s impossible, it just means that we’re delaying the inevitable. We’re really just buying time.” But Jones believes that, in addition to being safer for humans, essential oils’ chemical complexity may give them an edge on synthetically produced antibiotics, with bacteria less likely to develop resistance— especially in a blend that combines several powerful oils. “Phenol oils like oregano are proving to work the best, because they are the hottest, most fiery of of them all,” Jones says last week over lunch. By “fiery” she means: “They have a benzine ring in them, which is like a six-sided figure with a circle in the middle, and it makes them very hot and fiery—and antiseptic. They are the big guns.” The rounds of testing conducted by Lokey at UCSC helped Jones to rule out oils that weren’t effective against MRSA—like garlic oil and eucalyptus oil—and pinpoint those that were. The phenol-containing oils tested were most effective against killing bacteria, especially MRSA, says Lokey. And impressively so: “So it turns out that thyme and oregano had the lowest MIC [minimum inhibitory concentration]. That means that they killed at the lowest dose—and it was really pretty low. It’s about at a level that you could put in some kind of ointment or liquid and apply it to a surface and it would kill it.” While we know that the phenols are doing something to the bacteria that they don’t like, we don’t know exactly what it is. “But you know we don’t have to know the mechanism of action for these compounds to be

useful,” says Lokey. “I think it was quite a long time before we learned how penicillin worked after it was discovered to be successful.” And the how isn’t stopping Jones, either. Following the trial results, she developed a MRSA defense kit that includes a lotion, Castile soap, and a spray that blends seven different powerful oils ($28 on elizabethvanburen.com). Currently, she is working on perfecting the oil ratios of the lotion—especially because oregano oil can be a skin irritant if applied directly to skin; which is why she’s used it in lower concentrations for the lotion, and higher concentrations for the cleaning spray. “I think everyone who goes into a hospital really should take something like this with them,” says Jones. “I think our health facilities are failing us. The fact is antibiotics just aren’t working, there’s so much resistant bacteria that what are hospitals going to do? Having essential oils that are effective is just vital, for hospitals all over the world.” Dominican Hospital administrators would not comment for this story, but Jones has reached out to the hospital, has met with hospital personnel, and hopes to introduce oil-based hand sanitizers and sprays for nurses, patients and visitors to use at the hospital to help combat MRSA outbreaks. “One thing I can say is that [Jones] is really genuinely committed in making a positive health impact. It’s not just about developing a product and making money for her,” says Lokey. “I can tell when I talk to her she’s genuinely concerned about what’s happenening with the MRSA outbreaks at Dominican, and this is something that she’s really passionate about. She sought this out and she set up the whole collaboration with us and has really been a big advocate.” COBHA hopes to raise funds for further clinical testing, and Jones’ next project is to develop a hand sanitizer. A May Day Flower Festival on Sunday, May 3 will raise funds for COBHA, and includes a dinner catered by India Joze, speakers, and oil distillation demonstrations.

NEWS BLUBBER TROUBLE Young sea lions washing up on beaches in record numbers

MARCH 25-31, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY TOM GOGOLA

Over the past few months, local beaches have been an increasingly vibrant place for the senses. But one of the unpleasant new sights (and smells) are an unusual number of sea lion carcasses—more than ever before, and not just on the beaches of Santa Cruz. Emaciated sea lion pups have been washing up all along the California coast, and while some are still alive, the numbers are overwhelming the few centers equipped to nurse them back to health. The animals being rescued are typically around eight months old, says Dr. Shawn Johnson, lead veterinarian at Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, “and half the weight they are supposed to be.” Sea lions, he says, will typically stick with mom until about their eleventh month. Pups have been rescued from beaches all the way up to Bodega Bay, and the Sausalito base is the only one on this side of Northern California that handles live “strandings”—instances when marine mammals wash up on shore. Long Marine Laboratory, for instance, is a member of the Marine Mammal Stranding Network, but only handles dead strandings, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium focuses entirely on sea otters. “In a normal year, during this time period we would’ve seen zero to three [dead] California sea lions, and we’ve responded to 12 as of today,” says Teri Sigler, Marine Mammal Stranding Coordinator at Long Marine Laboratory. “We’ve definitely seen an increase, but we’re not inundated in the way that the Marine Mammal Center is.” The Sausalito center expects the washups to continue for months to come. For the third year running, pups have been driven out of the Monterey Bay and Channel Island rookeries before being weaned. Johnson blames the rising ocean temperatures, which have been running 2 to 5 degrees Celsius above average, from the Aleutian Islands all the way down to Baja California, despite the apparent absence of an El Niño trigger. The warming trend has dispersed the anchovies and sardines that sea >20

UP IN SMOKE? Santa Cruz company Hood Horkerz created the first ‘smokeable’ clothing line in the U.S., but is

currently caught up in a battle over patents.

High Stakes Local brand pioneered the ‘smokeable suit,’ but a fight over who invented what clouds the future BY MAT WEIR

s with most televised award ceremonies, a central fascination with what the stars are wearing often eclipses those other important details, like who the star in the smokeable suit is, and whether or not he was nominated for anything. Wait, smokeable suit? Yes, at this year’s Grammy Awards, local clothing company Hood Horkerz got some red carpet time and a shoutout. As the media reported on Taylor Swift in an Elle Saab dress, Bay Area hip-hop artist Rappin’ 4-Tay stood out from his entourage in a custom all-white suit with black trim, and the sly smirk of someone who was about

to demonstrate why his made-inSanta-Cruz suit can definitively be called “home-grown.” From underneath each lapel, 4-Tay draws a silicone, tubular “string” wrapped in fire-retardant material. The right string is tipped with glass and a breathing hole, the left ends in a glass bowl packed with a familiar green plant. “I’m the first rapper to blow one at the Grammys, just like this,” he says, before lighting the pipe on the left string and drawing a thick cloud of smoke through the silicone tube on the right string. So, what is 4-Tay wearing this awards season? “Hood Horkerz!” he shouts. “When I told 4-Tay I was going

to make a suit for him, he thought I was high!” laughs Sean Oliver, the 29-year-old Santa Cruz native and creator of the first smokeable clothing line in the U.S., Hood Horkerz. “I came up with the Hood Horkerz idea in 2011 while living in Vermont,” says Oliver. “We went to my buddy’s snowboard shop, where we always smoked, and he didn’t have a pipe. I yanked on my sweatshirt and realized it would be a good place for one.” Unlike many stoners who think up brilliant ideas and then forget them to the smokey ether, Oliver immediately drove to the hardware store and bought the materials for his first prototype. >18

NEWS HIGH STAKES <16 “Later that night, I went to a party and it was a hit,” he remembers. “So I decided to see what I could do. I probably went through 20 or 30 designs that I still have in a box.” In 2012, Oliver returned to Santa Cruz and met up with old friends Brian Collier and Chip Miller— now HH’s graphic designer and shipping manager, respectively. They originally thought about selling apparel to different smoke and clothing outlets around town, customized with each business’ logo. But it wasn’t until a fateful meeting with the late Bob Hernandez (from rapper Kurupt’s crew) at a Los Angeles trade show that Oliver was cut into the world of fashion design. “He was one of the nicest, coolest dudes I ever met,” Oliver reminisces. “He wasn’t one of those dudes who’d help you and want something back. He just wanted to see people succeed.” With Hernandez’s music

industry connections, Hood Horkerz became its own brand, making custom hoodie designs for musicians and celebrities that don’t hide their love for the sticky, green bud, and embrace the idea of being able to keep it in their clothing. Since then, musicians like Method Man & Redman (of hip-hop godfathers Wu-Tang Clan), Tech-Nine, T-Pain, Warren G, RBL Posse, E-40 and many other heavyweights in the hip-hop world have worn or been pictured with the brand’s hoodies—often with their own customized “HH” logo. But not all is chill in the world of smokeable clothing. Almost 1,300 miles away in Denver, Colorado, where marijuana legalization has been in effect for over a year, another clothing company sells hoodies you can vaporize from—think an e-cigarette in the drawstring that a user can “vape” liquid nicotine or concentrated hash oil with. “I saw Sean’s bowl and thought ‘This is pretty dope,’ but there is something you can do better,”

states VapRWear CEO Elvis “Papi” Edwards. “Vape is so big that I thought, ‘I’ll come up with my own idea—a vape hoodie—and sell it.’” Oliver and Edwards met through a mutual acquaintance last year at an April 20 Cannabis Cup celebration in Denver, sponsored by Hood Horkerz. And that’s the only thing both kingpins agree on, right down to who threw the party that brought them to together. But the real question burning at the center of this feud: Who made the first vape hoodie? “Within two weeks of making my first pipe hoodie, I thought of doing a vaporizer,” argues Oliver. “I mean, if you show the hoodie to anyone, the first thing they say is, ‘You should do a vape one’ … We even had two or three prototypes in Denver [at the Cannabis Cup].” But Edwards denies Oliver’s claims that he did bring a prototype—or at least that he saw it. “I’m the one who came up with the vape idea,” he says. It’s an argument that probably would have dissolved in >22

There may soon be a new face at the Homeless Garden Project. A crowdfunding campaign aims to raise $100 to buy the farm a three-foot replica of the Statue of Liberty found online. The man behind the campaign, Matthew McCabe, lived in Santa Cruz for 10 years and plans to move back soon. McCabe and his wife lost their Ben Lomond house to foreclosure in 2008. He understands how quickly circumstances can change. “The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of hope,” he says. “That’s so much about what [the Homeless Garden Project] is doing.” The amount McCabe is asking for covers the cost of

the statue, which features Emma Lazarus’ famous quotation: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free …” McCabe’s hope is that the campaign will far exceed the $100. Anything above that mark will be donated to the Homeless Garden Project. Surprise gifts to the Homeless Garden Project are nothing new, says executive director Darrie Ganzhorn. People donate all kinds of things: money, knitted goods for the store, tools and services such as grant writing. “This is just one more way that people in the community, from all different walks of life, step up and support our work

and make sure it continues and grows.” To donate to the crowdfunding campaign, go to life.indiegogo. com and search “Homeless Garden Project.” CAT JOHNSON

CITY CODE Santa Cruz has joined a network of cities across the country dedicated to providing fast Internet to all communities, Mayor Don Lane announced this month. The city already has a dig-once policy, ensuring that when city workers dig under the pavement into our roads, they’ll lay down broadband pipes while they’re down there. Santa Cruz joining this

Next Century Cities group is a symbol of some exciting things happening in our tech world. You can add to that list the rise of Looker, the data research company which is expanding even faster than the ambitious company had projected when it moved to the top floor of the Rittenhouse building last summer. This month, it announced 400 percent growth in revenue over last year. And resources hub Santa Cruz Works recently launched a new blog, as well as new job-searching capabilities— and announced its first executive director: Nextspace co-founder Jeremy Neuner.

THE PROBLEM WITH PUPS The Marine Mammal Center says rising ocean temperatures are the cause of the unusual number of young sea lions washing up on beaches.

lions rely on, he says. “The sea lion moms are not eating too much themselves, but they are putting lots of effort into finding food. They can’t keep up.” If they can scarcely feed themselves, their pups go hungry. Now the center is scrambling to handle 170 pups currently on site during what’s usually a slow time of year at the world-class animal-rescue center. Johnson says there are usually 10 to 15 animals on site in January and February— sea otters, sea lions, harbor seals. That’s about how many sea lion pups are now coming into the center every week. In early March, there were about 170 in the facility—and more on the way. Almost 1,000 pups have been found stranded this year. The center houses a full-scale veterinarian hospital and necropsy lab on

the site of an old Nike missile base. An outdoor pen finds about eight pups huddled on a heating pad. “We had to buy the heating pads,” says Johnson. “The little ones aren’t usually here this time of year.” Where you’d expect blubbery beasts, you see instead the animals’ ribs. “They should still be in the Channel Islands nursing,” says Johnson. Once the pups get their strength back, they are transferred to a saltwater pool to get them ready for the journey back to the sea. Between 50 and 60 percent of the pups that come to the Sausalito center are released back to sea at Point Reyes National Park. The rest wind up at zoos and aquariums, or they die. “This is normally the slow season,” says Johnson. He says a more typical winter morning would find vets, researchers and other staff catching up on scientific

papers and maintenance projects around the facility. Earlier in the morning, Johnson had a conference call with a biologist at the Channel Islands—and the news from Southern California was not good. “We are bracing to be at or near capacity in a few weeks, and it’s making us all very nervous,” says Johnson. “It’s bad timing.” Volunteers have been called in to the Sausalito Marine Mammal Center, which issued an online SOS for additional volunteers. The center was coming up short on medicine and food, so there’s been a push in fundraising at the nonprofit, whose annual budget is around $6.5 million. Temporary volunteers are put to work in the spacious “fish kitchen,” where they sanitize items used to feed the sea lions. Trained volunteers prepare the food and

feed the animals. For healthier sea lions, there are buckets of fat Alaska herring; sicker animals get a liquid mix of herring, fish oil and water. The center goes through 400 pounds of $1-a-pound herring a day trying to save the stranded pups. The rise in ocean temperatures and scarcity of food isn’t just affecting sea lions—there’s a ripple effect up and down the chain when a “sentinel species” struggles. “It’s very concerning to us,” Johnson says. The health of these apex predators “is a good indicator of the general health of the ocean. If sea lions can’t find enough food for themselves, what does it mean for other [sea creatures]?” he asks.

A somewhat nebulous patent outcome is not going to stop Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smokeable-clothing entrepreneur from hustling forward HIGH STAKES <18 laughter or smoke ringsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;except for one thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have the vape patent, and Sean has the bowl,â&#x20AC;? says Edwards. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the stems and seeds still need to be separated: Hood Horkerz filed for patents on their bowl hoodie and a vaporizer counterpart in April 2013. Both of those patents are still pending. Under U.S. law, Hood Horkerzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patents are not protected until they are granted. VapRWear claims to have a patent on their â&#x20AC;&#x153;dlo3â&#x20AC;? technology (filed in August 2014, according to Edwards), but GTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requests for the patent number were denied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not unusual [for patent granting to take time],â&#x20AC;? explains local intellectual property and patent lawyer Patrick Reilly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The patent office is totally overloaded. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got patents that get issued in a year, and applications I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard anything about in three years.â&#x20AC;? A somewhat nebulous patent outcome is not going to stop Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smokeable-clothing entrepreneur from hustling forward, though. After the Grammys, it seems only natural for the brand to expand into higher fashion, and Oliver says Hood Horkerz plans on dropping a new line of clothing this fall at New York Fashion Week. No matter how big they get, Hood Horkerz will never forget their Santa Cruz roots, which run deep. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started out small and made all of this,â&#x20AC;? Oliver concludes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I just want to help people [succeed].â&#x20AC;?

Here is what clients are saying about All Pets:

“Dr. Cholden and staff are excellent. I called, as a new patient, and explained that my sick dog, Turbo, needed immediate attention and the receptionist booked an appointment that very same day. When I arrived I was greeted with such kindness and caring for Turbo, that really helped to comfort me. Dr. Cholden came in to examine Turbo and was very caring and thorough spending a lot of time to explain everything to me and what was needed to get him back to health. He called the next morning to see how Turbo was doing and later that day to tell me about his blood work. I completely trust him for future appointments regarding Turbo’s healing.”

Owner Dr. Juli Mazi, ND (Naturopathic Doctor) shares the Thrive facility with Dr. Irene Valencia, ND and Dr. Holly Germain, ND, also employing seven other practitioners.

All of the practitioners offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation prior to intake and treatment.

One current program teaches the Circadian Rhythm diet, which involves eating certain types of foods at speciﬁc times of day.

Thrive offers discounted vitamin B12 shots—which aim to increase energy, enhance sleep, elevate mood, and boost immunity—every Friday from 3-6 p.m.

Dr. Mazi advises against drinking large amounts of fluids while eating, as it dilutes digestive juices and prevents full absorption of nutrients. | JUNE SMITH

Best Piercing Studio 1 2

In the last year, the most common piercings at Staircase are the septum, nostrils, and forward helix.

James McDermott opened Staircase 21 years ago, and currently has Alana Paris and Tom Garrison as piercers. Garrison has been working at Staircase for 16 years.

3 4 5

The piercers say they don’t have a favorite piercing to do, but they have a favorite customer to pierce—someone who’s excited about what they’re getting done. Quality of jewelry and employee dedication is important at Staircase. They also pride themselves on making the experience enjoyable.

On stereotypes: “I know a lot of people come into tattoo shops and think it’s a bunch of rough people, but it’s all about quality and fun here. Santa Cruz keeps us going,” Garrison says. | AMANDA EDWARDS

FRIDAY 3/27 SCOTT WELLS AT MOTION PACIFIC Heralded as Dance magazine’s 2005 “One of 25 to Watch,” and recipient of the Isadora Duncan Dance Award for Outstanding Choreography, Scott Wells draws together a multitude of influences into his unique, energetic choreography. This Friday and Saturday, Scott Wells & Dancers will perform at Motion Pacific and offer a workshop for anyone interested in movement earlier in the day—he’s best known for creating explosive, collaborative choreography for non-dancers including skateboarders, jugglers and boxers. With the framework of “why do we dance,” the performance will meld classically trained technical dancers with parkour and other movements not always associated with dance. Info: Workshop at Noon, Performance at 8 p.m., Motion Pacific Dance Studio, 131 Front St., Santa Cruz. 457-1616. $18-$25.

Hot Damn! Hope your liver is ready to party, because the Southern-fried kings of stoner metal are back! Dave “Dixie” Collins, Travis Owen, and Dave “Shep” Shepherd—better known as Weedeater—are unlike any on the scene today. Collins’ voice has the refined sound of someone born smoking Marlboro unfiltereds, yet it

GARAGE/POP

A side project of Allie Hanlon of the Canadian rock band White Whires, Peach Kelli Pop fills the space between bubblegum and power pop. Minimalist instrumentation, a playful spirit, and rough-around-the-edges garage-rock sensibilities drive this band that garners comparisons to underground sensations Hunx and his Punx and

Nobunny. A perfect fit for the red-hot, cassette-friendly label Burger Records, Peach Kelli Pop has a new album titled PKPIII scheduled for release in May. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

LATIN JAZZ

PONCHO SANCHEZ With his thick forearms, calloused palms and trademark beard, Poncho Sanchez looks like he was born to play the congas. For the past 35 years, he’s led one of the most consistently entertaining Latin jazz bands in the business, a talent-laden combo that lays down infectious dance–inducing mambo beats, scorching salsa soul, and tightly arranged jazz numbers. Over the years he’s collaborated with an array of jazz greats, from Eddie Harris and Terence Blanchard to Dianne Reeves and Joey DeFrancesco, but his band doesn’t need any ringers to raise the roof. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. & 9 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $30/adv, $35/door. 427-2227.

grooves are traditional, while the vocals and melodies have a lot of R&B and hiphop elements. They just released their third record this year, and while the first two were self-released, the latest is on popular reggae label Easy Star Records. That’s quite an achievement considering that it’s been awhile since the label signed anyone from New York. Overall, it’s a pretty raw sound, with just the trio of brothers, and their father, who is the manager and bass player. AC

NOW PLAYING AN HONEST LIAR Reviewed this issue. (Not rated) 90 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. CINDERELLA Disney’s live-action reboot isn’t quite as fresh as last year’s Maleficent. The production values are luscious, and director Kenneth Branagh imbues the story with humor, tension, and emotional complexity. But Linda Woolverton, who wrote Maleficent, comes from a generation of women who grew up chafing against the passivity of Disney cartoon heroines. Chris Weitz, the scriptwriter here, provides personalities for both his heroine, and her Prince, but he doesn’t have the same feminist fire; he’s content to tell the same old story in much the same old way. Still, what it lacks in innovation, the film makes up for in sheer loveliness, performed by an engaging cast. (PG) 112 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. CHAPPIE Neill Blomkamp (District 9) has a savvy sense of the sci-fi genre. But this tale of an

indestructible robotic police droid of the near future, imbued with consciousness and stolen by a gang of petty crooks, aspires to be little more than a twisted caper comedy about an innocent inducted into a life of crime. A thriller plot involves a lot of amped-up shootouts between criminals, robocops, and even bigger robots. Blomkamp and co-scripter Terri Tatchell make a valiant attempt to weld these random parts together into one big story, but a lot gets lost in all the mayhem. (R) 124 minutes. (**1/2)—Lisa Jensen. THE DIVERGENT SERIES: INSURGENT Shailene Woodley and Theo James return as Tris and Four in this second installment of the dystopian future trilogy based on the popular book series by Veronica Roth. Hunted by the leader of the Erudite ruling class (Kate Winslet), they race to unlock the secret of their fiercely class-based society. Octavia Spencer, Zoë Kravitz, Miles Teller, and Ansel Elgort co-star for director Robert Schwentke. (PG-13) 119 minutes. (Saved FGB) FIFTY SHADES OF GREY You may not have read the E.L. James book, but you’ve definitely heard of the steamy bestseller about an innocent young secretary and the hunky but troubled new boss who asks for a few services outside her job description. Fun fact: the book was originally written as fan fiction based on the Twilight series. Just sayin’... Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson star for director Sam Taylor-Johnson (Nowhere Boy). (R) 125 minutes. FOCUS Will Smith stars as a slick, seasoned con man who takes on a sexy young blonde apprentice (Margot Robbie), but finds their working partnership complicated by romance in this comic caper adventure from co-directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (Crazy Stupid Love). (R) 105 minutes. THE GUNMAN Sean Penn goes the Liam Neeson/action route in this thriller he also co-wrote and coproduced, directed by Pierre Morel (Taken). Javier Bardem, Idris Elba, Ray Winstone and Mark Rylance costar. 115 minutes.

KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE The comic book The Secret Service is the inspiration for this tongue-in-cheek spy spoof adventure in which a slick op and his team groom a young street kid into a master spy. Colin Firth, Michael Caine, Jack Davenport, Samuel L. Jackson, and Mark Strong star with newcomer Taron Egerton. Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, X-Men First Class) directs. (R) 129 minutes. MCFARLAND, USA In this factbased story set in the farm belt of California’s Kern County, Kevin Costner stars as a newly arrived high school PE coach who helps groom a handful of Latino farmworkers’ sons into a championship track team. Maria Bello, Carlos Prats, and Hector Duran co-star for director Niki Caro (Whale Rider). (PG) 128 minutes. QUEEN AND COUNTRY 30 years after Hope and Glory, the first installment of veteran director John Boorman’s cinematic memoir, comes this wry sequel. A decade after the events of the previous film, its English boy protagonist has grown into a youth conscripted into the Army during the Korean war, which he spends teaching typing on the base, chasing girls, and falling in love with film. Callum Turner and David LandryJones star. (Not rated) 115 minutes. RUN ALL NIGHT Liam Neeson decides to get mad, and even (as usual), as a retired hit-man who goes after his crime lord ex-boss (Ed Harris) to protect his estranged son (Joel Kinnaman). Common co-stars for director Jaume Collet-Serra (NonStop; Unknown). (R) 114 minutes. SPRING Part love story, part horror thriller, this story centers on an American (Lou Taylor Pucci) backpacking along the coast of Italy who’s drawn into a love affair of mythic proportions with a mysterious young Italian woman (Nadia Hilker). Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead direct. (Not rated) 109 minutes. THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL Most of the original cast members return as mature expat Brits getting a new lease on life in India when

the ambitious young proprietor of their residential hotel (Dev Patel) tempts chaos by trying to expand his business and get married at the same time. Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Penelope Wilton, and Celia Imrie head the cast, which also includes newcomers David Strathairn and Richard Gere. John Madden directs. (PG) 122 minutes. SONG OF THE SEA Anyone who loves seals, ancient Celtic folklore, fairy tales or mythology will be utterly charmed by this magical Irish animated feature. Directed by Tomm Moore, whose previous ﬁlm was the lovely Secret of the Kells, inspired by the famed illuminated manuscript, this Oscar-nominated fable combines traditional tales of the selkies (seals who transform into human women on land) with a stunning visual palette, and an endearing tale of a young girl and her destiny. Every hand-drawn frame of this movie is ravishing, so see it on a big screen! (PG) 93 minutes. (****)—Lisa Jensen. WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, co-creators of HBO cult hit Flight of the Conchords, take on vampireobsessed pop culture in this comedy about bloodsucking roommates trying to keep up with the times— trends, technology, fashion, their zombie and werewolf rivals, and their daily dose of nourishment. (Not rated) 86 minutes. WILD TALES Recently nominated for a Foreign Language Oscar, produced by Pedro Almodóvar, this dark satire from Argentina contains six related stories about the pressures, demands, and injustices of modern life and a cast of characters who gleefully give in to the temptation to lose control. (R) 115 minutes. In Spanish with English subtitles. ’71 Jack O’Connell (Unbroken) stars as a young British soldier accidentally left behind by his unit for one harrowing night in the streets of riot-torn Belfast during “The Troubles,” in this intense drama from director Yann Demange. (R) 99 minutes.

Martin Ranch Winery BY JOSIE COWDEN

Martin Ranch Winery, 6675 Redwood Retreat Road, Gilroy, 408-842-9197. martinranchwinery.com.

BED AND BREAKFAST The onset of spring and summer is the time when people start

thinking about taking a trip or two. Already eyeing our lovely coast and redwoods—and checking out reasonably priced accommodation—many are now heading to Airbnbs as an alternative to hotels. I came across a lovely Airbnb recently, which stands out for location and owner friendliness. If you have friends and family coming into town and they need an interesting place to stay, then take a look at this Airbnb called Aptos Forest Retreat. It’s a sweet little guest studio with a private entrance, close to the Forest of Nisene Marks State Park. As well as a choice of delicious breakfast items, guests can also order dinner such as homemade sweet potato frittata, and with wine to go with it. There’s always fruit in the fridge—and couples celebrating an anniversary will find a bottle of Chandon as well. Info: airbnb.com/rooms/3439173.

CABRILLO STAGE I saw the Cabrillo Stage show of “Urinetown” in January—an interesting production with a very talented cast. Last summer’s “Oliver” was absolutely wonderful, and I always appreciate not having to drive over the hill to see quality musicals. So please put Cabrillo Stage’s summer show “Mary Poppins” on your calendars, which will be from Aug. 1-16 at the Crocker Theater in Aptos. “Mid-Life Crisis” will also be playing in August at the Crocker Theater—a very impressive facility with not a bad seat in the house.

pring is here, with even warmer weather on the horizon, so what better time than now to enjoy a fruity floral Muscat? Martin Ranch makes a good one. With its musky, dripping-with-honey flavors, sexy sweetness, and the heady orangey perfume it exudes, Muscat is all too easy to quaff. Personally, I think it’s perfect to crack open when friends and family come over as it provides a refreshing change from the everyday Chardonnay. Serve it with cheese, appetizers and other munchies, and, Bob’s your uncle, you’re all ready to impress your guests. It’s also a classic match with chocolate. And it comes with a screw cap, too, which is really convenient. This delicious 2012 Muscat ($19.95), with grapes harvested from the Santa Clara Valley, is truly a well-made elixir by winery owners Dan and Thérèse Martin. At a private tasting I had last year on their beautiful estate, the Muscat was one of my favorites. And a visit to the Martins’ property is always such a pleasure. As well as tasting fine wines, it’s a fun upbeat experience. They will be open from noon to 5 p.m. on March 28 and 29 for the Santa Clara Valley Passport weekend. Tickets are $35.

The Spring signs Aries, Taurus and Gemini constitute a triangle of force that sets the template for the nine signs that follow and the template for the entire year (Spring 2015 Spring 2016) ahead. Aries initiates new ideas, Taurus stabilizes the new thinking of Aries and Gemini takes the initiating stabilized ideas of Aries/Taurus and disperses them to all of humanity. It is in this way that humanity learns new things, with the help of Mercury, the messenger. As Spring unfolds, three elements emerge: the Fire of Aries (initiating new ideas), the Earth of Taurus (anchoring the ideas of God through Mercury) and the Air of communicating Gemini. These three signs/elements are the Three Spring Festivals. They are the “triangle of force” forming the template (patterns) of energy for the upcoming new year. After these three we then have the soothing, calming, warming, nurturing and tending waters of the

ARIES Mar21–Apr20 You will be called to new action. Reflect upon your resources and what you value. Be practical yet prepare for the future. All values must be noted for you to feel safe and secure. Look back and assess priorities. Then look forward and list what is needed for a protected future. Prayers and mantrams are most important now. Develop a line of light from the heart of the sun to your heart at dawn and dusk. This creates within you love and trust.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 Messages from the mind of God, from Mercury, will be given. Perhaps while asleep or in prayer, meditation or under water (swimming, surfing, in the rain or shower). Quiet reflection, study, nature walks, tending to the kingdoms and daily schedules aid in receiving and hearing inner guidance. The planets work through groups depending upon you for guidance and also through your inner spiritual life. From these a new life structure takes shape.

As you consider what’s valuable and not, you may throw everything away in search of new beginnings. You need new groups that reflect your new thinking. It’s important to retain/remember things from long ago. Original astrological teachings and contacts made then and neglected. Renew them. They heal your wounds and help develop new consciousness. Ponder upon these words. They make sense in your heart.

Two realities appear before you. Resources that have lived out their usefulness and resources needed for the new reality you must help build. We’ve entered a new rhythm and new cycle creating rebirth, rebuilding, realignments and spiritual reassertion. It’s time to be seen in the world, to lead a group and to bring forth your knowledge. Through Cancer, spirit enters matter.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Travel and study bring forth profound change and transformation which will redefine you. A new state of self-identity is emerging. Tend to money and resources held in common with others very carefully. Pare down to basic essentials. You’ve done it before. Plant fruit trees in your garden along with marigolds. In the new world, human builders are to work with the angelic builders (devas). You remember.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Reviewing past finances and all levels of organization brings comfort and order. So you can consider new systems implemented at summer’s end. Talk over ideas with your partner or intimate friends. Being listened to allows a new sense of self-worth to develop. You value

mother (Cancer). Cancer initiates our next season under the hot suns of summer. Planets, stars and signs create the Temple of Light directing humanity towards all things new. March 29 is Palm Sunday, when the Christ, World Teacher, was led into Jerusalem (City of Peace) on a donkey (humility). Palms waving above His head, signified recognition of the Christ’s divinity. Palm Sunday is the Sunday before the Easter (Resurrection Festival). Palm Sunday begins Holy Week, the week of capture, imprisonment, passion, sacrifice, crucifixion, death and resurrection of the christ. All events in the Christ’s life represent events (initiations) that humanity experiences through many lifetimes. We turn our attention to these holy events this week. Their concepts portray and reveal to us greater spiritual understanding. balance in all aspects of your life. Place all goals within the context of harmony and balance.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 You have valuable talents to be discovered. Nuggets of gold in daily life. You understand life’s rhythms and cycles of life and death. You can therefore be a solace to others experiencing crisis and difficulty. These gifts hold a great truth about yourself. Seek deeply for this truth. Here’s a mantram for you: “Let reality, love, forgiveness and understanding guide my every thought. Let truth be the master of my life.”

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Not until you can trust others completely do you allow yourself closeness. Truth and trust is built over time and experience. You seek the truth in all matters. Truth allows you to know when to be loyal and when to walk away. You hold yourself within the same values. You are very careful of compromise, sincerity and honesty. They are your golden shields. Rest more.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Family, home, hearth, foundation and early life influences have been your purpose. Now you must have relaxation, fun and playfulness. Freedom from the past is seeking you. Laughter brings forth freedom, releases playfulness. Continue to realize how valuable and respected the work you’ve accomplished is. Important is not the money you make but ideals and ethics upheld. You too hold a golden shield.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Aries and the last new moon highlight your foundations, upbringing, family, and present home situation. You offer important new ideas to the family, reconcile selfidentity with how you’re living, and understand golden opportunities being presented. Wherever you are you bring beauty and values forth. When considering future endeavors, identify what’s most meaningful? Sprout and grow baskets of grasses for Easter.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Friendship is most important for your identity and well-being. It brings forth intimacy, loyalty and steadfastness. It endures if you tend to friendships with care. Aquarius is acquainted with everyone in their town—like Ariadne’s golden thread linking everyone to everyone else. This is a valuable gift. It fuels your creativity. But only if you are always fair.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Money challenges you. A good beginning is to tithe. Then, be courageous with it. In these times, know that money should be used for education first and then for whatever will sustain you and humanity in the future. Ask someone future-minded for guidance. Make lists of items important to you and needed in times of change. Add home (large, multiple), land, greenhouses, etc. Call forth right timing, right direction, right sharing and right stewardship.
