3/30/21 at 5Pm From Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission Transit Corridor Alternatives Analysis – Business Plan Emails received between 03/24/21 – 3/30/21 at 5pm From: Joseph Schultz <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2021 10:57 AM To: Transit Corridor <[email protected]> Subject: Congratulations on plan Upton Sinclair once wrote something to the effect of: "It is difficult to get someone to understand something when their paycheck depends upon their not understanding it." After poring over the information on your website, it is clear that you people are truly unable to imagine how truly ridiculous an electric rail system is when the real needs of Santa Cruz citizens are addressed. I am sure the "right" people, including yourself, are making and will make tons of money off this boondoggle. Concentrated benefits for the few always trump the diffuse costs for the many. If there was money to be made opposing this madness, we might see a robust debate of pros and cons. Alas, the "common good" is for commoners, and commoners have little place among the august deliberations of our betters. The system works! Regardz, Jozseph Schultz India Joze Restaurant From: Liz <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2021 10:42 AM To: Regional Transportation Commission <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Draft Business Plan for Electric Passenger Rail on the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line Released Good Morning - Who identified the electric passenger rail as the locally preferred alternative and how was that completed??? Are you referencing that sham of a survey that was sent out by the friends of the rail trail? All questions on that survey steered the question taker toward a train. The only way to understand what the county wants is to put this to a countywide vote. In doing so you would also need to explain exactly how much this train will cost - including the prohibitive costs to redo the tracks. Who is going to pay for that? Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission Transit Corridor Alternatives Analysis – Business Plan Emails received between 03/24/21 – 3/30/21 at 5pm You work for us. You are not listening to the majority of the county who want a coastal bike/walking trail. Put this to a county wide vote once and for all! From: Donald Schwartz <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2021 10:57 AM To: Regional Transportation Commission <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Draft Business Plan for Electric Passenger Rail on the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line Released Insanity From: Eric Schmidt <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2021 11:51 AM To: Regional Transportation Commission <[email protected]> Subject: Comments for April 1 RTC meeting I speak as a driver, a (mostly former) bicyclist, and a lifelong train enthusiast and user. I have followed the development of the rail corridor for years, perhaps decades at this point. There have been times when I was able to embrace almost every option on the spectrum including ones that put rail at the core of the development. Over time, it has become clearer and clearer to me that while there MAY be some moment in a distant future when rail would be handy, it is far more likely that other transportation options will be far better at addressing mass transit needs then, just as they are now. More importantly, waiting for such an unlikely future is folly. Enough. Build the Greenway now! We have the opportunity to create truly brilliant greenway and it is perfectly obvious that such an approach to the corridor’s development will be far less expensive, promote healthier lifestyles and will probably enjoy MORE usage than the dubious Rail-Trail development. Please embrace a plan that separates pedestrians and pets on leashes from bicycles and e-bikes so that the trail really can be a safe alternative to using a car, biking in traffic, or playing dodge ‘em on West Cliff. Please also keep these continuous rather than diverting bikes down into Capitola. While hills are a welcome part of fitness exercise, they have little place in Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission Transit Corridor Alternatives Analysis – Business Plan Emails received between 03/24/21 – 3/30/21 at 5pm bike commuting and mixing cars and bikes on congested Capitola streets would just be a frustration and danger for all. Not only is the Greenway the best solution for the foreseeable future, it’s actually the only realistically affordable solution. So why are we dithering away this important opportunity for our community AND the ancillary real estate development that can come with it? Eric Schmidt Westside Resident of 30 years From: Martha Vega <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2021 1:15 PM To: Regional Transportation Commission <[email protected]> Subject: Fwd: Draft Business Plan for Electric Passenger Rail on the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line Released Good afternoon Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission, Just got this information from your office. On a personal side, I am so excited to see this draft plan for an electrical passenger rail. You brought me memories of how we (we in the community in Pajaro and Watsonville) obtained a petition and voted for this back in 1997, as well as had community meetings in Pajaro. We heard wonderful stories of how the passenger rail used to exist in Pajaro. Look forward to having this. Wishing you luck on your presentation. Let me know if you would like to speak in favor of this as a resident of Watsonville. Blessings, Martha From: Lee May <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2021 1:52 PM To: Regional Transportation Commission <[email protected]> Subject: Trail, NO Train Hi- I oppose a train on the coastal right-of-way. Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission Transit Corridor Alternatives Analysis – Business Plan Emails received between 03/24/21 – 3/30/21 at 5pm We can’t afford it and all studies show that it will be underutilized and a financial sink hole. Please build the trail and forget the train. Thanks Lee May Aptos resident 831-251-5077 From: david allen <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2021 1:53 PM To: Regional Transportation Commission <[email protected]> Subject: Re: RTC Passenger Train / Greenway (a train is not financially feasible) Hi, As a longtime resident of Santa Cruz County, i want to voice my opinion about not wanting a passenger (or any other kind) of train. It will be way too expensive, dangerous to pedestrians (many of which are children on bikes), and bad for the environment. I just don't see how this is even still being considered. Please do the right thing and make this for pedestrians and cyclists only. Thanks, David Allen 831-239-4842 From: Charles Bruffey <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2021 2:05 PM To: Regional Transportation Commission <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Draft Business Plan for Electric Passenger Rail on the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line Released For God's Sake! Give up this liberal fantasy of a train in Santa Cruz! It will never happen! Nobody wants it but a few crazy extremists! Stop wasting money!!! Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission Transit Corridor Alternatives Analysis – Business Plan Emails received between 03/24/21 – 3/30/21 at 5pm From: Brunelli, Brian T MD <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2021 2:12 PM To: Regional Transportation Commission <[email protected]> Subject: Draft Plan for Train on Rail Corridor I just read your draft plan calling for trains on the rail corridor. Train is never going to have any significant impact on transportation in our tiny county. You have not found funding for your plan, and the county has zero appetite for increased taxes for a train that will have no riders. Please, use common sense, abandon 19th century thinking, and give up on the plan to build a choo choo train on the corridor. Please, build an affordable multiuse trail on the corridor and rail-bank the tracks. You can do this now, making a huge impact on the wellbeing and transportation needs of our community. Thank you. Brian Brunelli Aptos, CA From: Jessica Hansen <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2021 2:12 PM To: Regional Transportation Commission <[email protected]> Subject: No rail train Please put a decisive end to the proposed passenger train along the coastal rail trail. It is not wanted, will be a financial debacle and ruin our coast line communities. Sincerely, Jessica Hansen Capitola resident From: Jonathan Longsworth <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2021 2:31 PM To: Regional Transportation Commission <[email protected]> Subject: NO TRAIN: greenway solution favored by a DECISIVE majority -- Build our multi-use trail now! RTC Commissioners must not accept the findings of the Transit Corridors Alternatives Analysis (TCAA) as currently presented. Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission Transit Corridor Alternatives Analysis – Business Plan Emails received between 03/24/21 – 3/30/21 at 5pm We need to stop the ongoing million-dollar RTC studies with clearly biased conclusions. It’s time for action instead of studies. Exhibit: • Lack of public support for a train — The only large-scale gauges of public opinion (10,000+ Greenway petition signers; Measure L in Capitola; the election of Manu Koenig—with this crucial plank of his platform) show minimal if any real support for a train. • Conversely there is widespread, essentially universal support for a trail. • Complete absence of a trail-only study — While millions have been spent studying a passenger train, the RTC has never done a study focused on a trail alone.

    Directed by Michael Donald Edwards, OUR BETTERS Opens March 13 at Asolo Rep "A more devious Downton Abbey." – NowToronto.com (SARASOTA, February 5, 2015) — Before there was Downton Abbey, there was Our Betters, W. Somerset Maugham's fiery romantic dramedy about the invasion of sly social-climbing American heiresses into British society. The fifth play in the third season of Asolo Rep's five-year American Character Project illuminates a sect of wealthy, early 20th-century American women who yearned for the pomp and circumstance – and parties – of the British nobility. Directed by Asolo Rep's producing artistic director Michael Donald Edwards, Our Betters opens Friday, March 13, 2015 at 8pm and runs through Sunday, April 19 at Asolo Rep, with previews Wednesday, March 11 and Thursday, March 12 at 8pm. In early 20th-century England, broke British aristocrats desperately needed money to maintain their ornate estates, and wealthy American women desperately wanted -more- Our Betters Page 2 of 7 the prestige of marrying well. After marrying a baronet, American hardware heiress Lady Pearl Grayston appears to have everything a girl could want – a posh title, a throng of adoring lovers, and the crème de la crème of British society, including a princess and a duchesse, at her beck and call – but she wants more. When Pearl's little sister, Bessie, crosses the pond to join her sister's enviably glamorous life and find a noble husband of her own, she is unprepared for the scandal that is about to erupt behind closed manor doors. “Brimming with dynamic and passionate women of position, prestige and wealth, Our Betters reveals how they prevailed in a society with limited options for women," said Michael Donald Edwards.

Series Outline IX. Box List 1 111 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH William Somerset Maugham was born in 1874 at the British Embassy in Paris, France to Robert Ormond and Edith Mary Maugham, who had both spent most of their adult lives living in France. Maugham's hardships began early on as he was born with frail health and an understated stature, and without the good looks of his mother. fu January of 1882, Edith Maugham died of Tuberculosis, and from this trauma, Maugham was never to fully recover. Two years later, Maugham's father died of stomach cancer and subsequently, he was sent to the rather alien country of his ancestors to live with his father's clergyman brother, Henry MacDonald Maugham, at the vicarage in Whitstable. A stammer in Maugham's speech soon developed; likely as the result of being forced to speak English rather than the French that he preferred. Life with his uncle and aunt was stable, but lonely, and it was at this age that Maugham's love of reading began to bloom. From May of 1885 to July of 1889, Maugham attended King's School in Canterbury, which was a nightmare he would never quite forget. Deciding to forgo a future with the Church, Maugham escaped to the University of Heidelberg from 1891-92, where he was to discover and embrace Schopenhauer, Ibsen, and his own homosexuality. After a brief stint studying accounting in Kent, Maugham decided to pursue a medical degree at St.

  • Oscar Wilde and His Legacy: British Commercial Comedy 1892-1930
    Oscar Wilde and His Legacy: British Commercial Comedy 1892-1930 by Sharon Louise Klassen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Sharon Louise Klassen, 2019 Oscar Wilde and His Legacy: British Commercial Comedy 1892-1930 Sharon Louise Klassen Doctor of Philosphy Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Oscar Wilde’s successful 1890s works were something new within Victorian comedy. He reinvents a theatrical comedy tradition dominated by a combination of farce and French-inspired well-made plays, creating more psychologically complex characters than the usual stage types, repeatedly adjusting or blending comic forms to disrupt audience expectations, and emphasizing forgiveness and reconciliation over revenge or poetic justice. This dissertation considers how Wilde’s unique approach to comic writing is both reflected and adapted in plays from 1900-1930 by St. John Hankin, Somerset Maugham and Noel Coward, revealing shifts in what it means to behave badly when values are rapidly changing. The analysis considers how these plays were affected by contemporary conditions of theatrical production, which are often neglected in scholarship on the plays as texts. The first chapter considers Wilde’s shrewd assessment of the consequences of courtship practices and the double standard beneath a veneer of manners and cleverness in Lady Windermere’s Fan , A Woman of No Importance and An Ideal Husband. The work continues with an examination of The Importance of Being Earnest , particularly its ii connections to Wilde’s stories for children, the form of farce and recent scholarship about play.
