By JOHANNA MILLER

or 20 years the Bicycle Film Festival (BFF) has been celebrating bicycles through art, film and music. Originating in New York, it has popped up in 100 cities across the globe, from Paris and Tokyo to Istanbul and Mexico City.

And now the festival is coming to Santa Cruz County.

While the pandemic prevents organizers from holding in-person events, BFF will offer a virtual version of the festival hosted by two local organizations: Community Bike Collective (CBC) and Bike Santa Cruz County (BSCC).

CYCLE

Film festival to raise funds for two local bicycle organizations

“In a year of a global pandemic, economic strife, a contentious political period… the bicycle boom worldwide is optimistic news to celebrate,” BFF founding director Brendt Barbur stated in a press release. “We hope to offer a positive respite from all of this for people.”

The festival will be held June 11-20 and feature a curated list of short films for Santa Cruz County audiences. The festival is meant to be enjoyed by everyone, from avid cyclists to brand new riders and everything in between.

“It’s a way to celebrate all things bikes, and everything they can do

for a community,” said CBC President Kymberly Lacrosse. “I think we realized that during the pandemic—bikes are a way to get to work, to exercise… They offer freedom, are good for the environment and bring people together. I think Covid has made [that] message more poignant.”

The films selected for the Santa Cruz festival include topics such as: Jim Denevan, a Santa Cruz artist and chef who creates “land art” by bicycle; a bird’s-eye view of the Black Lives Matter protest ride in New York; the story of a young woman and her bike in Iran, and more.

“Expect films that are inspiring… that are rooted in the arts, about personal expression, and that represent experiences of bikes all over the world,” Lacrosse said.

The festival will act as a fundraiser for CBC and BSCC, who now share a space in Watsonville. CBC is a volunteer-run nonprofit aiming to provide access to quality bikes for youth, and offer them a safe, healthy experience through the sport. BSCC’s mission is to promote safe bicycling through advocacy, community building and education.

Together, the organizations are fundraising for a matching grant from the The Outride Campaign, launched by the Specialized Foundation, which aims to bring awareness of the benefits that cycling can provide to youth with ADHD. The funding will go directly to support youth programming, including the upcoming summer Bike Camp.

Fernando Avalos, 16, has been involved with CBC for two years after a friend introduced him to the program. He said he appreciates the support and open-mindedness of the organization, declaring “they would never leave a person behind.”

“Riding makes me feel more appreciative of myself… it expands my imagination, to go as far as I want,” he said. “To ride a bike, you need to have a clear mind.

Your mind has to be on-point. Your body has to be stiff one moment and then flexible. After every ride, I feel amazing.”

CBC and BSCC are still looking for additional sponsors and promotions.

They are offering bulk tickets, where a sponsor can buy a large amount of tickets to be gifted to local youth.

Individual tickets are offered on a sliding scale from $10 to $30.

VERSATILE PLANTS Herbs such as tarragon can be an attractive addition to any landscape.

Productive plants grow well in local climate

By KATE RUSSELL

f you grow nothing else, grow herbs.

Most herbs require a lot of sunlight and good drainage. They grow well in containers, are resilient, productive and attractive.

Any of these herbs can be grown in your landscape: • Basil loves our hot summers and grows easily from seed.

Pinch stems off where two leaves emerge to stimulate multiple stem growth. Avoid overhead watering.

• Chives can be grown on a window

sill or outdoors. The onionscented flowers are edible.

Chives should be planted 12-18 inches apart and will spread.

• Cilantro grows easily from seed. Plants can reach 18-24 inches and should be spaced 10 inches apart. Transplant cilantro seedlings gently to prevent them from going to seed right away. Unless you want those seeds, known as coriander.

• Dill creates lovely 2-4 feet ferny fronds. Place plants 12 inches apart. As a biennial, dill takes two years to go to seed. Those

seeds can be used in cooking or allowed to generate new plants.

• Mint loves shady, moist spots, and can grow in full sun. Mint spreads fast, so containers are a good idea. Start mint from seeds, tender new growth, or rooted stems.

• Oregano grows best in poor soil with good drainage. They need very little water and grow easily from seed. Don’t expect much flavor at first. It takes time and hardship for oregano to reach its full potential. Leaves should be harvested after flowers appear.

• Parsley is a nutritious, biennial kitchen mainstay. It has a taproot, so containers should be deep. Parsley can be grown in full sun or partial shade.

• Rosemary grows best from cuttings placed in rich soil and watered lightly and frequently until established. Rosemary plants can become quite large, so plant accordingly.

• Sage prefers rich clay loam and can reach 3 feet wide and tall.

Sage needs plenty of nitrogen, so feed regularly. Harvest leaves before the plant flowers for the best flavor.

• Tarragon has shallow, spreading roots, making it a good container plant. Only after leaves are dried does the scent emerge. Tarragon can reach 2-3 feet. It prefers a little shade during the hottest part of the day. Propagation is easiest through root division.

• Thyme comes in upright and trailing varieties, and in several different scents. It can be difficult to grow from seed, so start with a seedling or cutting. Thyme performs best if left alone. It grows well in containers. Thyme can reach 12-18 inches and should be placed 18-24 inches apart. Since thyme grows slowly, weed control is important while young.

Whether you create a formal knot herb garden, collect a bunch of containers in a sunny spot, or start with one herb and grow from there, herbs have a place in your landscape.

n celebration of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History’s (MAH) 25th anniversary, the RedBall Project, a global art installation that has been to more than 30 cities since 2001, is coming to Santa Cruz County.

And now, after a countywide search by MAH staff and sculpture artist Kurt Perschke earlier this year, the exact locations of the installation have been decided.

RedBall Project has been dubbed “the world’s largest-running street art work.” The sculpture is a ball DESIGN DEPARTMENT measuring 15 feet in diameter and weeklys.com weighing 250 pounds. It is wedged into random alleyways and on street corners, famous bridges and along picturesque beaches.

“On the surface, the experience seems to be about the ball itself as an object,” Perschke said in a press release. “But the true power of the project is what it can create for those who can experience it.”

During June 8-13, RedBall will make its way through Santa Cruz County, starting at the Santa Cruz

Municipal Wharf. On June 9 it will move to the Del Mar Theater on Pacific Avenue, then to the Esplanade Park Bandshell near Capitola Village on June 10.

On June 11, the ball will roll into South County and be installed at the Cabrillo College Downtown Watsonville Center. It will then move back to Downtown Santa Cruz on June 12, this time at the MAH itself, before ending up back at the Wharf on June 13.

Visitors can come see and discuss the installation from 11am-6pm each day.

“The RedBall Project is a great representation of the spirit and vision of the MAH, which for 25 years has pushed beyond its four walls to be out in the community,” MAH Executive Director Robb Woulfe said in a press release. “It challenges us to reimagine familiar spaces and, like the MAH, meets people where they are to create new connections.”

LLAPINGACHOS Cheesy potato pancakes, Ecuadorian-style.

By SARAH RINGLER

L

lapingachos are traditional Ecuadorian Potato pancakes. According to southamericatotheworld.com, the name comes from the native Quechua language with “llapin” meaning smash, and “gacho” meaning to fry. They are easy to make with two main ingredients: potatoes and achiote oil.

In Ecuador, the commonly used potatoes are called Papa Cholas, a red skinned potato with a creamy yellow flesh, similar to our simply called red potatoes. Since potatoes were first farmed in the area of southern Peru and northwest

Bolivia around 4,500 years ago, it’s not surprising that they traveled north to Ecuador. The popular potato is now eaten and grown around the world with China growing 27 percent of the world’s potatoes, although per capita, northern and eastern Europe have the highest production.

The second main ingredient, achiote oil, may be unfamiliar to some people. It comes from the seeds of a shrub that is native to South and Central America; the name comes from the Aztec, or Nahautl word, for shrub. It has a subtle flavor but its main characteristic is its brilliant red color often used in the past as lipstick or body paint. You can buy the oil or the seeds, sometimes called

annatto, in most Mexican markets.

The seeds can be used to make the oil by sautéing two tablespoons of seeds in one cup of good quality olive oil. When the olive oil turns bright orange, remove it from the stove. Cool, strain the oil in a sieve and place it in an air-tight jar.

The recipe is pretty straightforward but the first time I made it, the potatoes were too mushy and the patties did not stick together. Let the potatoes cool until they dry out.

Llapingachos fall in the comfort food category. Cheese and potatoes go well together and the achiote gives these pancakes a special flavor. And plus, when the family asks what’s for dinner, it’s a lot of fun to say “llapingachos!”

2 pounds red potatoes 1 medium white onion, chopped 1/2 pound queso fresco or Monterey Jack 1 tablespoon achiote oil Salt and pepper to taste Vegetable oil or lard for frying First, chop the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes on low heat until they’re tender in around 20-30 minutes.

While the potatoes are cooking, place a frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon achiote oil. When the oil is hot, add the diced onions. Cook the onions until they’re soft and golden.

Once the potatoes are done, drain them. Let them cool until they firm up. Peel them. Next, mash the potatoes to a smooth consistency and add the sautéed onions. Mix until they’re well combined. Then add salt and pepper to taste. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and set aside. It should stand at room temperature for about an hour and a half.

The cheese can be cut into quarter-inch cubes and added to the potato mixture, or cut in slices and stuffed in the middle of the patty.

Slightly wet your hands to avoid the potatoes sticking to them.

Form a ball about the size of a small lemon in your hands. Flatten the ball into a patty about a halfinch thick. Place the patties on a baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until they’re firm to the touch.

Heat a griddle or skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add about a tablespoon of vegetable oil. When the vegetable oil or lard is hot enough, place the patties on the griddle.

Fry the patties for around 2 minutes on each side. You’ll know it’s time to flip them over when they start turning a nice golden color. Also, the cheese will get soft and warm.

Llapingachos are best when served immediately but can be kept warm in the oven. Makes about 10.
