Amy Courtney: Freewheelin' Farm
No full textShareholders in Freewheelin’ Farm’s community supported agriculture program enjoy an unusual perk: delivery by bicycle-drawn trailer. Freewheelin’ founder Amy Courtney, a 1997 graduate of UCSC’s Apprenticeship in Ecological Horticulture, strives to produce fresh, healthy food while minimizing her environmental footprint. Courtney started the farm in 2002 with almost no motorized vehicles, incorporating used equipment and recycled materials wherever possible in the farm’s operations. She and her current farming partners, Kirstin Yogg and Darryl Wong, still haul all of their CSA shares by bicycle six miles into Santa Cruz.Courtney’s work as a farmer springs not only from a love of land and plants, but also from a commitment to social justice, community health, and cultural vitality. She majored in community studies as an undergraduate student at UCSC; before founding Freewheelin’ Farm, she worked with school gardens, Santa Cruz’s Homeless Garden Project, the United Farm Workers and the AFL-CIO, and an agricultural extension program in Cuba. Freewheelin’s website places the farm “at the forefront of the growing movement towards community renewal, addressing issues of environment, health, and social equity in a simple and delicious way.” The Freewheelin’ farmers have begun collaborating with “Food, What?!”—a youth empowerment program based at UCSC’s Life Lab Garden Classroom. Other cultural and educational initiatives at the farm have included an annual community art show, yoga classes, and cooking instruction with Zen Buddhist priest and Tassajara Bread Book author Edward Espe Brown.Courtney’s long, low house sits on the original Freewheelin’ acre, a stretch of cultivated land between the Coast Highway and the Pacific Ocean in northern Santa Cruz County. The house and land belong to Courtney’s friend and mentor Jim Cochran—proprietor of nearby Swanton Berry Farm, and the only organic farmer to have signed a United Farm Workers contract. Sarah Rabkin interviewed Courtney there on the late afternoon of January 16th, 2009: a day of clear blue skies and brilliant sunshine that heated Courtney’s southwest-facing living room—with its large windows looking over the ocean—to a tropical warmth. Courtney and her two farming partners were poised on the brink of big changes: they had just signed a lease for an additional parcel of land, multiplying the farm’s acreage eightfold, and they were laying plans to ramp up Freewheelin’s 40-share CSA to a membership of 100
Courtney Angela Brkic 11-10-2004
No full textBrkic reads "Stillness" (1:57) from "Stillness: and Other Stories". Interviewing Brkic are Anne Panning and Ralph Black of the SUNY Brockport English Department. Native to Washington D.C., Courtney Angela Brkic studied Anthropology and Archaeology at William and Mary in Virginia. She studied abroad in Zagreb, Croatia on a Fulbright Scholarship working with women after the war in the mid-1990s. She worked in Bosnia Herzegovina as a forensic archaeologist, in Zagreb, Croatia as a translator, and at the Hague giving summary translations at the International War Crimes Tribunal. In 1999 she returned to the US to pursue her MFA in fiction at New York University under the auspices of a New York Times fellowship. Brkic's work has been published in journals such as The Alaska Quarterly, Third Coast, and Zoetrope. At the time of filming she was working on translating Antun Branko Simic's poetry. In 2003, she published "Stillness: and Other Stories" and in 2004 published "The Stone Fields: An Epitaph for the Living". The conversation begins with the background of where the stories came from for "Stillness: and Other Stories". Brkic talks about the family history which drew her back to the parts of the world her father had fled due to political unrest. She talks about how the tone and the stories in "Stillness: and Other Stories" themselves aren't fiction but the characters in these short stories are. Panning invites Brkic to speak about her work with refugees and post war populations and what that was like for her. She also spoke about how it influenced her fiction and nonfiction work. She spoke about how her poems and stories seemed to be better when time had passed between her experiences and when she wrote about them. The approach of using temporal distance to her advantage while writing invited an array of critiques and commentary. Brkic spoke about the different criticisms she's received for her work and talked about how they may be justified in their own way. She also voiced that some of those critiques were complimentary, even if they weren't necessarily meant to be so. Panning and Brkic talk about the UN and the view with which Brkic wrote her UN based character. They spoke with familiarity of the jaded attitude of UN workers when entrenched in a humanitarian crisis while also doing little or nothing to help the population in distress. Brkic ends the interview by reading the preface of "Stone Fields" an Epitaph for the Living" (46:06)Archived web conten

No full textPhotograph of two Black students Samuel and Roger Courtney tarred and feathered While at the time this incident was described as hazing incident carried out by University of Maine a modern interpretation, by scholars such as Karen Sieber, Humanities Specialist at the McGillicuddy Humanities Center, was that this was actually a racist attack.
Sieber has featured this incident in her, Visualizing the Red Summer database and archive on the topic of the Red Summer of 1919, a term given to a nationwide wave of violence against African Americans that year.
