# Putah Creek

**Putah Creek** (Patwin: *Liwaito*) is a major stream in Northern California, a tributary of the Yolo Bypass, and ultimately, the Sacramento River. The 85-mile-long (137 km) creek has its headwaters in the Mayacamas Mountains, a part of the Coast Range, and flows east through two dams. First, Monticello Dam forms Lake Berryessa, below which Putah Creek forms the border of Yolo and Solano Counties, and then flows to the Putah Diversion Dam and Lake Solano. After several drought years in the late 1980s, the majority of Putah Creek went dry, prompting a landmark lawsuit that resulted in the signing of the Putah Creek Accord in 2000. The Accord established releases from the dams to maintain stream flows in Putah Creek, with natural flow regimes which spike in winter/spring and ebb in summer/fall. The restoration of natural flow regimes has resulted in a doubling of riparian bird species and a return of spawning native steelhead trout and Chinook salmon, as well as protecting the livelihood of farmers on the lower watershed.

## History and name

The true meaning of "Putah" in Putah Creek has been the subject of discussion and speculation. It was originally called "Arroyo de los Putos" (1844) and "Puta Creek" (1845), but the "Puta" form was rejected by the United States Board on Geographic Names, likely because of the resemblance to the Spanish word puta (lit. "whore"). According to Erwin Gudde (1889–1969), the resemblance is "purely accidental". The revised fourth edition of Gudde's *California Place Names* has the following entry:

> **Putah Creek** \[Lake, Napa, Solano Cos.\]. From Lake Miwok *puṭa wuwwe* "grassy creek" (Callaghan; cf. Beeler 1974:141). The similarity to Spanish *puta* "prostitute" is purely accidental. In the records of Mission San Francisco Solano (Sonoma Mission) of 1824, the natives of the place are mentioned with various spellings from Putto to Puttato. In the baptismal records of Mission Dolores an *adulto de Putü* is mentioned in 1817, and the wife of Pedro Putay in 1821 (Arch. Mis. 1:94.81). In 1842 the stream was well known by its name: "I know that the Rio was called 'Putos.'...It is well-known by the name which has been given it" (J. J. Warner, land-grant case 232 ND). The name was probably fixed by William Wolfskill, who named his grant Rio de los Putos on May 24, 1842. In 1843 the name was used in the titles of three other land grants, in one of which the spelling Putas occurs. In the *Statutes* of the early 1850s, in the Indian Reports, and in the Pac. R.R. *Reports*, the spelling of the name is in complete confusion. The present version was applied to a town in 1853, was used in the *Statutes* of 1854, was made popular by the Bancroft maps, and finally was adopted by the USGS.

According to a map created by Eugène Duflot de Mofras, a French naturalist and explorer, and published in Paris in 1844, Putah Creek was once known as **Young's River**, named for the fur trapper Ewing Young, who hunted beaver on an expedition up Putah Creek to Clear Lake and on to the Mendocino County Coast in March, 1833.

The lower reaches of the creek used to sometimes be called **Walnut Bayou**, in reference to the warm and sluggish water and the abundance of California Black Walnut trees on the banks.

## Watershed and course

The creek originates from springs on the east side of Cobb Mountain south of the town of Cobb in southwestern Lake County and flows approximately 130 kilometres (81 mi) to Lake Berryessa. It descends eastward to the town of Whispering Pines, where it turns southeast, parallelling State Route 175. It passes the town of Anderson Springs, where it joins Bear Canyon Creek. North of Middletown, it curves counterclockwise around Harbin Mountain, merging in close succession with Dry Creek, Helena Creek, Crazy Creek, Harbin Creek, and Big Canyon Creek. From Harbin Mountain, it flows east again, joining Bucksnort Creek, then enters Napa County at a confluence with Hunting Creek about 11 mi (18 km) east of Middletown. In Napa County, the creek flows southeast, merging with Butts Creek just before it empties into Lake Berryessa, and the Monticello Dam.

Downstream of Monticello Dam, on the southeastern corner of the lake, Putah Creek leaves Napa County and becomes the boundary between Yolo County and Solano County flowing about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) to the Putah Diversion Dam (PDD), where most of water flows are diverted south through the Putah South Canal to users in Solano County. In this section the creek offers excellent fishing opportunities year round. California Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations require "catch and release" in this section of the stream, as well as the use of artificial lures with barbless hooks. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has developed a safe eating advisory for fish caught in Putah Creek based on levels of mercury or PCBs found in local species. Stormwater runoff from a nearby Superfund site formally known as the Laboratory for Energy-Related Health Research (LEHR), has shown elevated levels of Mercury reaching 500 ng/L entering Putah Creek. While the site has been decommissioned since the late 1980s and federally listed as a National Priority Superfund site by the EPA in 1994, the amount of contamination to the soil, groundwater aquifer, and nearby Putah Creek, continue to be a hazard to the area. This concentration of mercury in Putah creek creates health risks for anything that may eat the fish, as the bioaccumulation of mercury found in the fish passes along the food web to birds and potentially humans. The stream continues east along State Route 128, receiving Pleasants Creek before arriving at Lake Solano where the Putah Diversion Dam diverts flows to the Putah South Canal, carrying water to the residents of Vallejo.

Below Lake Solano, Putah Creek flows 37 kilometres (23 mi) before reaching the Yolo Bypass and by that artificial route, to the Sacramento River. In this section, Putah Creek first receives McCune Creek, then its last tributary, Dry Creek. After the Dry Creek confluence it passes through the town of Winters to reach Interstate 505. From there Putah Creek channel continues eastward, parallelling Putah Creek Road to Stevenson Bridge Road. Putah Creek used to flow near downtown Davis in what is now the UC Davis Arboretum channel, but early settlers redirected the creek south of Davis in 1871, and in the late 1940s the Army Corps of Engineers added levees to what is now the South Fork Putah Creek. A few miles east of Davis, the county line turns south, but the South Fork Putah Creek continues eastward, passing south of Davis to feed into the Yolo Bypass about a quarter mile (400 m) west of the Sacramento Deep Water Channel.

## Dams and diversions

Monticello Dam, a concrete arch dam, is the only major storage dam on the creek. It forms Lake Berryessa, which has a capacity of 1,602,000 acre-feet (1.976×109 m3), making it one of the largest reservoirs in the state of California. The dam and lake are part of the United States Bureau of Reclamation's Solano Project and was completed in 1957. The project's purpose is to provide water for irrigation, though it also supplies municipal and industrial water to major cities in Solano County. About 32,000 acre-feet (39,000,000 m3) is provided by the project annually. An 11 MW hydroelectric plant generates electricity for the Solano Irrigation District, which owns and operates the dam.

The Putah Diversion Dam, or PDD, also constructed in 1957, diverts water into Putah South Canal about 6 miles (9.7 km) downstream of Monticello Dam. The dam is a gated concrete weir structure with an earth-fill embankment wing. It creates the small Lake Solano, which has a capacity of only 750 acre-feet (930,000 m3). The canal is entirely concrete-lined except for a mile (1.6 km) of pipe called the Putah South Pipeline. Most of the lands are below the level of the canal and are served by gravity. Lands above pump water straight from the canal. The canal ends at Terminal Dam, which is made from earth-fill. The dam forms a small 119 acre-foot (147,000 m3) reservoir called Solano Lake. This reservoir supplies drinking water to the city of Vallejo. Most of the canal is operated by Solano Irrigation District, including its headworks.

## Ecology

Steelhead trout (coastal rainbow trout) (*Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus*) and Chinook salmon (*Oncorhynchus tshawytscha*) continue to survive in Putah Creek. Although these anadromous salmonids cannot pass the Putah Diversion Dam, stream resident rainbow trout (the landlocked form of steelhead trout) continue to thrive above Monticello Dam in the upper headwaters and grow to large size in the first few miles directly below the dam.

The ecological centerpiece of the 2000 Putah Creek Accord mandated flow releases from the Putah Diversion Dam intended to secure spawning and rearing flows for spring-spawning native fishes with a natural flow regime of higher winter and spring flows, with lower summer and fall flows, but mandated sufficient perennial flow to support rearing salmonids. The Accord mandated a short three-day pulse to occur between 15 February and 31 March to initiate spawning behavior, followed by a month-long release of elevated flows. Further, the Accord established a schedule of monthly baseline flows designed to maintain continuous lotic (flowing) conditions year-round from the PDD to the Yolo Bypass. In December 2014, the California Fish and Game Commission designated Putah Creek a "Wild Trout Water" and efforts by citizen groups to restore the creek resulted in increased Chinook salmon rearing in the lower watershed. The natural flow regimes simulated by releases from the dams has restored native fishes while suppressing non-native fishes, the latter best adapted to warmer water and stagnant conditions. By increasing releases briefly in winter/spring and allowing much lower flows in late summer/fall, there has been little impact on overall water availability for diversion to agriculture and residents.

An interesting study of the Putah Creek watershed from a bioregional perspective can be found in "Lifeplace: Bioregional Thought and Practice" by Robert L. Thayer

## "Green River"

Putah Creek is also known as the Green River due to the buildup of algae and vascular plants in the late summer. Putah Creek is the subject of the Creedence Clearwater Revival song "Green River" and served as a childhood vacation spot for John Fogerty.

title: Beacon Hill (Branford, Connecticut)

abstract: Beacon Hill, (est.) 130 feet (40 m) above sea level, is a traprock outcrop located 1.2 miles (1.9 km) southeast of New Haven, Connecticut overlooking the mouth of the Farm River 1.2 miles north of Long Island Sound. It is the southernmost notable summit of the Metacomet Ridge which extends from Long Island Sound near New Haven, Connecticut, north through the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts to nearly the Vermont border. Beacon Hill is known for its scenic ledges overlooking a surrounding salt marsh and the greater Sound and for its unique microclimate ecosystems and rare plant communities. Beacon Hill is traversed by several trails, most notably the 28-mile (45 km) Branford Trail. The Shoreline Trolley Museum runs trolley service to the base of the hill.

# Beacon Hill (Branford, Connecticut)

**Beacon Hill**, (est.) 130 feet (40 m) above sea level, is a traprock outcrop located 1.2 miles (1.9 km) southeast of New Haven, Connecticut overlooking the mouth of the Farm River 1.2 miles north of Long Island Sound. It is the southernmost notable summit of the Metacomet Ridge which extends from Long Island Sound near New Haven, Connecticut, north through the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts to nearly the Vermont border. Beacon Hill is known for its scenic ledges overlooking a surrounding salt marsh and the greater Sound and for its unique microclimate ecosystems and rare plant communities. Beacon Hill is traversed by several trails, most notably the 28-mile (45 km) Branford Trail. The *Shoreline Trolley Museum* runs trolley service to the base of the hill.

Beacon Hill should not be confused with Beacon Hill of New Haven, another traprock hill, 2 miles (3 km) to the west.

## Geography

Beacon Hill rises steeply 100 feet (30 m) above the surrounding landscape and (est.) 130 feet (40 m) above Long Island Sound. It is roughly 0.8 miles (1.3 km) long by 0.3 miles (0.5 km) wide. The hill lies within the town of Branford. The Farm River runs along the west side of the hill and a tributary salt marsh extends around the south and southeast sides. U.S. 1 borders the hill to the north and separates it from Saltonstall Mountain. A small rock quarry (Johnson's Quarry) abandoned in 1942, occupies the south end of the hill.

The Metacomet Ridge continues north from Beacon Hill as Saltonstall Mountain. Low outcrops of traprock continue south from the hill to the shore of Long Island Sound and out into the sound as tide-swept rock outcrops and tiny islands.

## Geology and ecology

Beacon Hill, like much of the Metacomet Ridge, is composed of basalt, also called traprock, a volcanic rock. The hill formed near the end of the Triassic Period with the rifting apart of the North American continent from Africa and Eurasia. Lava welled up from the rift and solidified into sheets of strata hundreds of feet thick. Subsequent faulting and earthquake activity tilted the strata, creating the cliffs of Beacon Hill. Hot, dry upper slopes, cool, moist ravines, and mineral-rich ledges of basalt talus produce a combination of microclimate ecosystems on the mountain that support plant and animal species uncommon in greater Connecticut. (See Metacomet Ridge for more information on the geology and ecosystem of Beacon Hill).

## Conservation and recreation

Beacon Hill, open to hiking, picnicking, snowshoeing, bird watching, and other passive pursuits, is isolated from the surrounding suburban areas of Branford and East Haven by salt marsh, riverway, and other wetlands. The hill is steep, with talus slopes in several locations, and offers scenic vistas of Long Island Sound and protected salt marsh from a number of outlooks. Several hiking trails cross the property, most notably the Branford Trail, which loops around the circumference of the town of Branford, passing through a number of scenic conservation areas. *Short Beach*, also a Branford Land Trust property, lies 1 mile (1.6 km) to the south of Beacon Hill along the Branford Trail.

An historic trolley, run by the non-profit Shoreline Trolley Museum, drops hikers and picnickers at a platform at the base of Beacon Hill. The Shoreline Trolley is the oldest running suburban trolley in the United States. Parking for Beacon Hill and the Branford Trail is located on a cul-de-sac at the end of Dominican Road in Branford, less than 0.25 miles (0.3 km) south of U.S. 1 near the East Haven border.

Beacon Hill and several surrounding parcels were conserved by the cooperative effort of the Branford Land Trust, the state of Connecticut, the Town of Branford, and other partners.

# Robert Rolfe, 1st Baron Cranworth

**Robert Monsey Rolfe, 1st Baron Cranworth**, PC (18 December 1790 – 26 July 1868) was a British lawyer and Liberal politician. He twice served as Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain.

## Background and education

Born at Cranworth, Norfolk, he was the elder son of the Reverend Edmund Rolfe and Jemima Alexander, James Alexander, 1st Earl of Caledon's niece and a granddaughter of physician Messenger Monsey. Rolfe, a relative of Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, was educated at Bury St Edmunds, Winchester, Trinity College, Cambridge, Downing College, Cambridge (of which he was elected fellow) and was called to the bar, Lincoln's Inn, in 1816.

Cranworth represented Penryn and Falmouth in Parliament from 1832 until he was appointed a Baron of the Exchequer in 1839. In 1850 he was appointed a Vice-Chancellor and raised to the peerage as **Baron Cranworth**, of Cranworth in the County of Norfolk. In 1852 Lord Cranworth became Lord Chancellor in Lord Aberdeen's coalition ministry.

In 1854, Cranworth was appointed to the Royal Commission for Consolidating the Statute Law, a royal commission to consolidate existing statutes and enactments of English law.

Cranworth continued to hold the chancellorship also in the administration of Lord Palmerston until the latter's resignation in 1858. Cranworth was not reappointed when Palmerston returned to office in 1859, but on the retirement of Lord Westbury in 1865 he accepted the office for a second time, and held it till the fall of the Russell administration in 1866.

## Personal life

In 1845, Cranworth married Laura Carr (1807–1868), daughter of Thomas William Carr (born 1770). The couple had no children.

Lord Cranworth died at his seat, Holwood House, on 26 July 1868, aged 77, after a short illness related to the heat. He was childless and the title became extinct on his death.

# Cecil Dick

**Cecil Dick**, or **Degadoga** (1915–1992) was a well-known Cherokee artist often referred to as "the Father of Cherokee Traditional Art."

## Early life and education

Cecil, born near Rose Prairie, Oklahoma, was one of the pioneers of 20th-century, flat-style painting among Eastern Woodland tribes in Oklahoma. He was part of the Cherokee Nation and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians. During childhood, he spoke only the Cherokee language. He became an orphan when he was 12 years old, and was raised in Indian boarding schools. He attended "The Studio" at the Santa Fe Indian School and Bacone College.

## Career

Dick did not paint on a regular schedule, but only when he felt like doing so. He regularly worked as a draftsman and as a sign painter to support himself. Hence his art work is relatively rare. He also became known as an authority on Cherokee mythology and the written Cherokee language.

Cecil Dick became the first Native American to win the Oklahoma Artists Exhibition at Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa. In 1983 Cecil was honored for his intellectual and artistic achievements with the Sequoyah Medal by the Cherokee Nation. The Cherokee Heritage Association held a 50-year retrospective exhibition of his lifetime work that same year. In 1991, the Five Civilized Tribes Museum in Muskogee, Oklahoma named the "Cecil Dick Master of Heritage Award" in his honor. This award is given out during its annual Competitive Art Show to recognize outstanding paintings in the flat-style.

## Death and legacy

Cecil died in 1992 in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, having spent over 50 years recording Cherokee culture and history in his art. His obituary stated that some of his paintings were in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. C., the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Tulsa's Gilcrease Museum and the Five Civilized Tribes Museum in Muskogee.

In 1996, a group of Talequah physicians donated an original Dick acrylic mural to the Cherokee Nation. One of the physicians, Ed Painter, had commissioned the work in 1960, and hung it in the Tahlequah Medical Center. The mural is 4 feet (1.2 m) tall by 15 feet (4.6 m) wide. Titled "The Curing of the Fever," it portrays Cherokee healing practices before the initial contact with white men.

Native American art experts reportedly appraised the auction value of the mural in the range of $65,000 to $100,000.

title: Pyrrocoma liatriformis

abstract: Pyrrocoma liatriformis is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. Its common names include Palouse goldenweed and smallhead goldenweed. It is native to the northwestern United States, where it is endemic to the Palouse prairie, growing in grassland dominated by blue bunchgrass. It is a perennial herb growing from a taproot, producing one to three stems up to 70 centimeters in length. The stems are erect and hairy. Leaves near the base of the plant are larger and rounder than the leaves connected to the stem, which are lanceolate and hairy. Basal leaves measure 80–310 millimeters long and 9–30 millimeters wide, whereas cauline leaves measure 30–120 millimeters long and 5–20 millimeters wide. The inflorescence is four to five heads arranged in a raceme. Each head is composed of 17–25 yellow ray florets, each 6–14.5 millimeters in length, as well as 35–60 disc florets, each 7–11 millimeters in length. Originally known only from eastern Washington and adjacent northern Idaho, a joint survey by the United States Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management in 2011 confirmed the presence of P. liatriformis in extreme northeastern Oregon. The same survey also found another goldenweed species not previously found in Oregon, the similar P. scaberula, which is native to Idaho grasslands in the Snake River Canyon. The species is classified by NatureServe as imperiled. Since much of the native Palouse prairie has been converted for agriculture, habitat loss is a primary factor threatening this species, along with competition from invasive weeds. It is not listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act.

# Radio Down!

***Radio Down!*** is an EP single by American band The Aquabats, released on November 9, 2010.

## Overview

In early 2010 The Aquabats announced plans to release Hi-Five Soup!, their next studio album, by the end of the year, eventually confirming a tentative release date of November 9. After recording the album independently, the band signed a last-minute deal with Fearless Records, who agreed to distribute the album but suggested the release date be pushed to January 2011 to allow for proper marketing and promotion. Instead, an EP featuring the first single from the album and two non-album B-sides would be released in its place.

*Radio Down!* was issued primarily through digital download, though a limited run of 2000 CDs printed with DayGlo ink was made available shortly afterwards and sold at the band's concerts and through their website.

## Reception

Critical reception to *Radio Down!* was positive. *Alternative Press* described the EP's songs as "infectious" and "danceable", while *The Marshalltown Chronicle* summarized it as "fun synthpop from right start to finish". Sputnikmusic, though criticizing the EP's "overproduced and artificial" sound, awarded it a 3 out of 5 star rating, noting "*Radio Down!* is everything you’d expect from the Aquabats: catchy and smile-inducingly charming".

Upon release, *Radio Down!* debuted at number 10 on the *Billboard* Hot Singles Sales, a chart which measures sales of physical commercial singles.

# Shirley Ulmer

**Shirley Kassler Ulmer** (June 12, 1914 - July 6, 2000) was an American screenwriter.

## Early life

Shirley Beatrice Kassler was born in New York in 1914. After her banker father lost his saving in the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the family moved to California.

## Career

While living in California, Kassler "met picture people" and began working as a script supervisor in Hollywood. She married Max Alexander, nephew of Universal Studios' founder Carl Laemmle, in 1933.

While working on *The Black Cat* (1934) as a script supervisor, Kassler met Edgar G. Ulmer. The two began a relationship after work on the film finished, and Kassler started divorce proceedings while living with Ulmer in the Hotel Christie on Hollywood Boulevard. The relationship angered Kassler's uncle-in-law, Laemmie. He blacklisted Kassler and Ulmer, preventing either from getting jobs in Hollywood. Kassler's final work on a Hollywood film was *Thunder Over Texas* (1934), which she wrote, Ulmer directed, and her then-husband, Alexander, produced.

After leaving Hollywood, Kassler and Ulmer married in early 1935, a few months before Kassler's 21st birthday, and moved to New York, where Shirley modeled hats and Edgar worked as a cameraman for Pathé News. The couple went to Canada in 1936, when they were hired by producer William Steiner to film a thriller called *From Nine To Nine.* The two were paid poorly, making essentially no money after Shirley developed appendicitis and required medical care. Their next project, *Natalka Poltavka*, was more successful, and Shirley played a small role in the film after an actress no-showed.

While living in New York, the couple were encouraged to make films for the large Yiddish-speaking population there. Their first film, *Green Fields* (1937), was a success, leading to subsequent films. Shirley Ulmer continue to worked on scripts for her husband's films, including *The Light Ahead* (1939), *American Matchmaker* (1940), *Girls in Chains* (1943), *Jive Junction* (1943), *Strange Illusion* (1945), and *Detour* (1945).

Ulmer also worked as a script supervisor under the name Shirley Castle for directors such as Frank Borzage, Frank Lloyd, Douglas Sirk, and William Wyler. She also worked as a script supervisor for the TV series *Batman, CHIPs,* *The Lone Ranger,* and *S.W.A.T*.

Ulmer co-wrote novels under the name Shirle Castle, and a 1986 book titled *The Role Of Script Supervision In Film And Television*.

Following Edgar Ulmer's death in 1972, Shirley Ulmer became director of the Edgar G Ulmer Preservation Corporation.

This letter brought together other interested parties including members of the bands Netherworld Dancing Toys and The Verlaines:Graham Cockroft was the first station manager. With a grant from the OUSA of approximately $12,000, the station first went to air in early 1984 broadcasting from the OUSA's former boardroom. The station initially ran on a part-time basis during the university year until the 1986 when it started operating round-the-clock throughout the year. In 1987 Radio 1 shifted into a new annex to the Student Union building which was specifically designed to house the station, the OUSA's offices, and the university's student newspaper Critic Te Ārohi. The station celebrated its 25th birthday at the beginning of 2009. In the station's early years, its 100 Watt transmitter was located on the top of the campus's tallest building, but since the 1987 it has had a transmitter on the top of Mount Cargill, 12 kilometres north of the campus. This gives the station a range which covers much of coastal Otago, from Oamaru to past Balclutha. The changes to become a year-round station operating from purpose-built facilities and expanded coverage were undertaken by the 1986 station manager Chris Lambourne. Radio One can now be heard anywhere in the world as it streams all content in 128 kbit/s stereo mp3 over the internet. The station is run largely by volunteer announcers, with a small paid staff. It runs a wide variety of general interest and specialist shows, many of them catering for audiences not covered by Dunedin's other radio stations, such as The Local which plays only New Zealand content and Overgrown which is New Zealand's only Cannabis Law Reform themed radio show.

# Radio One (New Zealand)

**Radio One** (also known simply as "The One") is a student radio station operating from the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. It broadcasts on a frequency of 91.0 MHz. it is a member of the Student Radio Network group of stations, all of which are run from New Zealand University campuses.

The impetus for the station began with an open letter to the President of the Otago University Students' Association (then Phyllis Comerford) from Alastair Thomson, who had worked on the Waikato University student radio station. This letter brought together other interested parties including members of the bands Netherworld Dancing Toys and The Verlaines:Graham Cockroft was the first station manager. With a grant from the OUSA of approximately $12,000, the station first went to air in early 1984 broadcasting from the OUSA's former boardroom. The station initially ran on a part-time basis during the university year until the 1986 when it started operating round-the-clock throughout the year. In 1987 Radio 1 shifted into a new annex to the Student Union building which was specifically designed to house the station, the OUSA's offices, and the university's student newspaper *Critic Te Ārohi*. The station celebrated its 25th birthday at the beginning of 2009.

In the station's early years, its 100 Watt transmitter was located on the top of the campus's tallest building (the 11-storey Richardson Building, then known as the Hocken Building), but since the 1987 it has had a transmitter on the top of Mount Cargill, 12 kilometres north of the campus. This gives the station a range which covers much of coastal Otago, from Oamaru to past Balclutha.

The changes to become a year-round station operating from purpose-built facilities and expanded coverage were undertaken by the 1986 station manager Chris Lambourne.

Radio One can now be heard anywhere in the world as it streams all content in 128 kbit/s stereo mp3 over the internet.

## The Onecard scheme

In 1986, the station launched an innovative scheme to raise money to support the station - a loyalty card called "The Rad-one Card" (more recently just "The Onecard"). This gave subscribers ("Rad-ones") the opportunity to gain discounts at local stores and events, and to enter on-air competitions in return for a small annual fee. The scheme has been widely adopted by other student radio stations around New Zealand.

# Rajdeep Naik

**Rajdeep Vasant Naik** (born 30 March 1975) is an Indian actor, theatre director, theatrical producer, singer, and politician known for his work in Konkani films, *nataks* (dramas), and *tiatr* (Konkani theatre) productions.

## Early life

Rajdeep Vasant Naik was born on 30 March 1975. He hails from the village of Volvoi, Goa. During his schooling, Naik engaged in one-act plays from the sixth grade onwards and participated in several competitions. This pursuit continued through high school and into college. Naik's theatrical journey began at the age of 11 when he made his debut as a representative of KRS High School, Volvoi in a one-act play competition organized by Kala Academy, under the guidance of Shashikant Anvekar. He maintained an active involvement in both drama and folk dance competitions within Goa. Throughout his academic career, he received several awards and recognition for his abilities, both while attending school and as a student at the Government College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Khandola.

During his time as a university student, Naik held the position of president on the organizing committee for the inaugural student theater festival, 'Rangyatra'. In 1996, Naik completed a Bachelor of Arts degree. He later attempted to pursue a master's degree but had to leave the program after a year due to financial difficulties. Following this, he gained experience as a casual announcer for the Yuvavani programs at Akashwani, Panaji. Also, as the head of the planning committee, Naik played a key role in arranging the first-ever all-Goa student theatre convention for Konkani drama while in his final year of college.

Despite his interest in pursuing a career in dramatics and receiving support at his academic level, he struggled to find a suitable course in Goa. His liking for arts, especially literature and drama, was not matched by available opportunities in his home state. Both his immediate family and extended relatives lacked experience in stage performances and held a pessimistic view regarding the future prospects of theater. However, having a neighbor like playwright and Sahitya Akademi awardee Pundalik Naik in Volvoi exposed him to the world of drama, as he would stay up night after night to watch rehearsals. By December 2016, Naik received a Master of Arts in Konkani and was actively working towards a Master of Performing Arts at Shivaji University. As of 2021, he has obtained two master's degrees.

## Career

Naik is known for his early entry into the industry and subsequent contributions as a producer of *tiatrs*. His body of work includes several acclaimed dramas that have garnered him awards. Naik's works have been well received by the residents of Goa, and he has partnered with the Department of Art & Culture, Goa to arrange the *Natya Mahotsav*, a cultural event. Naik has strived to both promote and safeguard Goan culture and heritage through his artistic pursuits and performances. In July 2021, Naik became the focus of media scrutiny for speaking out against the government's decision to provide a one-time financial aid of 10,000 (equivalent to 11,000 or US$130 in 2023) to artists, deeming it as a gesture that lacked respect for the artistic community. He is also recognized as the chairman of Kala Chetna-Volvoi.

Naik's involvement in the film industry includes his portrayal of a negative character in the Konkani film *Home Sweet Home* in 2014. Due to its significant public demand, the film was re-released in 2016 and sought to bring attention to the problem of unauthorized land acquisition in Goa. In 2015, Naik reprised his lead role in the sequel, *Home Sweet Home 2*, which was widely released across Goa. The film sought to draw attention to the role of politicians in the deterioration of Goa. Another film appearance for Naik was in the Konkani film *7 Dayz* in 2016, directed by Joywin Fernandes. This adventure drama, released two years later in 2018, examines the intersection of politics, crime, and corruption, showcasing their direct influence on the lives of individuals.

In 2018, Naik assumed the role of Vasudev, a member of the Gaonkar family, in the Konkani film *Questão De Confusão*. The film made its debut in Goa during the same year and delved into the intricacies of coexisting religions and their societal significance. The production faced significant financial challenges, necessitating innovative approaches to secure funding. One such method involved soliciting contributions from individuals prior to the film's release, with the promise of either screening the film in their respective villages or providing complimentary tickets, depending on the amount donated. The filmmakers initially underestimated the project's expenses, but as filming progressed, costs escalated, according to Naik. The film was produced by Naik's spouse, Suchita, and he also made contributions by penning lyrics for three promotional songs associated with the film. Naik invested effort in preparing for his role, particularly in comprehending the nuances of portraying a father figure to a young child, despite not having personal experience as a parent. To establish a convincing on-screen chemistry, Naik spent a week alongside a young actor who played his son in the film. However, Naik expressed no difficulty in assuming the role of a husband to Reshma, as their extensive 18-year collaboration in stage productions had fostered an understanding between them. Similarly, Naik had previously collaborated with Anil Pednekar, another actor in the film, which facilitated a seamless working dynamic. It is worth noting that Naik also contributed to the film's production team.

In October 2021, Naik formally joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) during a ceremony held in Delhi, which was attended by Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi. Naik's decision to join the AAP was driven by his genuine belief in the effectiveness of the Kejriwal model and his conviction that it presents the most viable alternative for the state of Goa. The AAP highlighted Naik's admiration for Kejriwal's initiatives, particularly in the areas of electricity provision and job security, which left an impression on Naik. Naik's choice to align with the AAP was motivated by the pressing issue of heightened unemployment and the adverse socioeconomic impact of the pandemic on the local population. Recognizing the AAP as the political party that had demonstrated the most concerted efforts to assist the people of Goa during the pandemic, Naik expressed his satisfaction in joining the AAP under the guidance of Arvind Kejriwal. He emphasized the party's commitment to supporting the welfare of *Goenkars* (residents of Goa) throughout the crisis.

## Personal life

Naik is married to Suchita Narvekar, an entrepreneur and playwright. The couple together, have a daughter, Bhumee.
