  • Downtown Closures Continue by Tim Gillie STAFF WRITER
    FRONT PAGE A1 www.tooeletranscript.com TUESDAY TOOELETRANSCRIPT G-ville Legion pounds out 21 runs ULLETIN See A10 B JulyJuly 20,20, 2010 SERVING TOOELE COUNTY SINCE 1894 VOL. 117 NO. 15 50¢ Downtown closures continue by Tim Gillie STAFF WRITER Three stores have closed on one block of downtown Tooele in recent months, with two other store fronts on the same block unoccupied and now for sale, slowing what appeared to be a revival for downtown. Tooele City officials claim the closings are part of the normal business cycle. The closures provide a reason to search for new stores for downtown, but it’s not a crisis, according to Mayor Patrick Dunlavy. “Of course the city is interested in the health of busi- nesses in the city, but closures happen during good as well as bad economic times,” Dunlavy said. “This is a normal process that has been exacerbated by the current state of the economy. We will continue to look for and encourage more stores to locate downtown.” The Tooele Overstock Store, which opened at 5 N. Main in October 2009, closed in the middle of June. Anything Cute, a non-profit thrift store that supported the New Hope House at 33 N. Main, closed this month and the space is for lease. Sandee Julz, a clothing, accessories and jewelry store located at 19 N. Main Street, has a large for lease sign in their front window and will close July 30, Maegan Burr Carlson Miller Brands employee Nate Seal unloads a truck at Zacatecas Market on the corner of Main and Vine streets in Tooele on Tuesday morning.

  • Dallas (1978 TV Series)
    Dallas (1978 TV series) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the original 1978–1991 television series. For the sequel, see Dallas (2012 TV series). Dallas is a long-running American prime time television soap opera that aired from April 2, 1978, to May 3, 1991, on CBS. The series revolves around a wealthy and feuding Texan family, the Ewings, who own the independent oil company Ewing Oil and the cattle-ranching land of Southfork. The series originally focused on the marriage of Bobby Ewing and Pamela Barnes, whose families were sworn enemies with each other. As the series progressed, oil tycoon J.R. Ewing grew to be the show's main character, whose schemes and dirty business became the show's trademark.[1] When the show ended in May 1991, J.R. was the only character to have appeared in every episode. The show was famous for its cliffhangers, including the Who shot J.R.? mystery. The 1980 episode Who Done It remains the second highest rated prime-time telecast ever.[2] The show also featured a "Dream Season", in which the entirety of the ninth season was revealed to have been a dream of Pam Ewing's. After 14 seasons, the series finale "Conundrum" aired in 1991. The show had a relatively ensemble cast. Larry Hagman stars as greedy, scheming oil tycoon J.R. Ewing, stage/screen actressBarbara Bel Geddes as family matriarch Miss Ellie and movie Western actor Jim Davis as Ewing patriarch Jock, his last role before his death in 1981. The series won four Emmy Awards, including a 1980 Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series win for Bel Geddes.

The young girl in the painting is Deshpande’s daughter. It’s an intimate scene Deshpande imagined one day in the car, but it’s also slightly sinister, made all the more so by Deshpande’s other inspiration for the painting—a nightmare in which she witnessed a child falling to the ground (that child is rep- resented by Raggedy Andy). “I’m an impulsive painter,” says Deshpande. “Once I have an idea in mind, it’ll only take me a few hours to complete the underpainting.” D eshpande says she’s grateful for a class ABOVE: The Fall (oil First, though, she sketches the initial drawing she recently took with The Artist’s Magazine’s on linen, 16x20) in pencil onto the canvas.
