TOOELE County Citizens, Leaders Pushing for New Water Rights Board FRONT PAGE A1 www.tooeletranscript.com TUESDAY TOOELE Tooele’s Schmalhaus RANSCRIPT takes first at T state See A8 BULLETIN February 19, 2008 SERVING TOOELE COUNTY SINCE 1894 VOL. 114 NO. 79 50¢ County citizens, leaders pushing for new water rights board by Tim Gillie STAFF WRITER Tooele County leaders and proper- ty owners are backing legislation that would make major changes in how water rights policy is determined in the state. Bruce Simon and Tamara Beckstead are backing Senate Bill 85, sponsored by Sen. Dennis Stowell, R-Parowan, which would strip water rights policy making responsibilities from the state engineer and give those responsibili- ties to a board composed of represen- tatives of water users appointed by the governor. Simon, formerly of Tooele, said he sold a five acre plot in Erda for a devalued amount after losing his 16 acre-feet-per-year water right, worth $160,000, to the state engineer. Beckstead, of Erda, said she had her two-acre-feet-per-year water right taken away by the state engineer for non-use a year before the date for “proving up” on the certificate given to her by the state Division of Water Rights. The newly created State Water Rights Board would set fees, make rules, rec- ommend changes in water law to the Legislature, and review final orders of the state engineer. The board will be appointed by the governor, with the approval of the Senate, and consist of seven members representing different groups of water users including agri- culture, municipalities, industry, and wildlife management. photography / Troy Boman “The individual property owner Tamara Beckstead stands on her two-acre lot in Erda with her hands held up in frustration. Beckstead said she lost an acre foot of water (325,851 gallons) because of misinforma- tion she was given about maintaining her rights from the State Division of Water Rights.

  • A Call for Rethinking Cultural Studies
    BEYOND CELEBRATION: A CALL FOR RETHINKING CULTURAL STUDIES Carolyn Lea A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2007 Committee: Dr. Ellen Berry, Advisor Dr. Nancy C. Patterson Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Donald McQuarie Dr. Ewart Skinner © 2007 Carolyn Lea All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Ellen Berry, Advisor This is a polemical dissertation which seeks to serve as an intervention into the theoretical debates and tensions within cultural studies. These debates, which have taken place over the last few decades, have centered on the populist bent within cultural studies, the turn away from the concerns of political economy, and the influence of French theories that emphasize signification, play, and relativism. At stake in these debates is our way of understanding the world and imagining it differently. I argue that the celebratory direction found in much of the work by cultural studies scholars in which resistance, subversion and transgression are located in all things popular has led to an expressivist politics which lacks explanatory power and is symptomatic of a loss of political will. This dissertation critiques three particular directions that exemplify the celebratory turn: claims regarding transgression; claims regarding audience activity; and celebratory accounts of consumption. Chapter one provides an exposition of the debates that have plagued cultural studies, laying the ground for later arguments. Chapter two provides an introduction to reality television which is enlisted as a cultural symptom through which to interrogate weaknesses in theoretical positions (in chapters three through five) adopted by cultural studies scholars and strengths in alternative theoretical legacies.

It uses an assemblage theoretic perspective to understand the process of audience dissipation for an epistemic brand and the role of consumers in that process. In addition, it offers a conceptualization of aggregation of consumers that distinguishes between brand community, consumption communities and audiences and points to heterogeneity within latter. 4 Abstract While a considerable amount is known about how fans of a brand can contribute to the value enjoyed by other members of its audience, much less is known about the processes by which fans contribute to the dissipation of that audience. Drawing on longitudinal data on the America's Next Top Model brand and conceptualizing brands as assemblages of elements with varying capacities, we examine how fans exercising their expressive capacities can, in conjunction with other elements of the assemblage that have salient material capacities, contribute to the dissipation of audiences of which they have been members. Our work advances conversations on consumers’ roles in brand value creation by examining a related but distinct phenomenon: consumers’ roles in brand audience dissipation.

  • XBASE How I Got Over April 22Th – May 14Th, 2011 Simone Aziga
    XBASE How I Got Over April 22th – May 14th, 2011 Simone Aziga At times aggressive, exclusive, essentializing and deconstructionist, the history of feminist art is not something to fuck with. It will always be problematic to use imagery that explicitly references the visceral female body because of its strong associations with the legacy of second- wave feminism and feminist art practice. Simone Aziga’s work, with its use of frilly pinks, piercing needles and flowing fabric resembling fleshy tissue, takes from this legacy. What I am hung up on, perhaps to my detriment, is that I assume contemporary feminist artists must also be angry so as to align themselves with this feminist history and practice. Then again, anger as a tool used to get over contemporary challenges in the third-wave (and beyond) is probably just as outdated as corsets and finishing schools. I don’t want to say that feminist artists should reinforce the stereotype of the angry or hysterical woman, but I do want to say that there are still plenty of issues to be angry about. The social and political conditions in North America have changed drastically since the Suffragette movement in the late 19th century. We are now in an environment that shifts between considerations of gender equality and specificity; where women have won the battles for the right to vote, for access to save abortion and birth control and for the freedom to negotiate between having a family and having a career. However, women still get paid less for the same job, craft is still devalued as ‘women’s work,’ and women artists are still under-represented.

BLACK PUBLIC CREATIVE FIGURES IN THE NEO-RACIAL MOMENT: AN ANALYSIS OF TYRA BANKS, TYLER PERRY AND SHONDA RHIMES, 2005-2010 by DANIELLE E. WILLIAMS Under the Direction of Alisa Perren ABSTRACT This dissertation examines how Tyra Banks, Shonda Rhimes, and Tyler Perry negotiate blackness in terms of racial representation both in their interactions with the press and public as well as in their final product. Banks, Rhimes, and Perry are among the few prominent African American executive producers working in an industry of inequality. Each is the creative figure behind a prominent prime-time television show. This project contributes to the discussion of race and representation in the field of television studies. I argue there is a connection between how Banks, Rhimes, and Perry publicly discuss race and how these perspectives are encoded in America‟s Next Top Model (Banks), Grey‟s Anatomy (Rhimes), and House of Payne (Perry) from 2005-2010.
