We’ve come a long way since the first brick was thrown at Stonewall.

Fifty-one years ago in Manhattan, New York, at the end of June, a riot broke out in Greenwich Village. In the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, the New York City police raided a gay bar called Stonewall Inn. This raid led to six days of protests, some turning violent.

The Stonewall riots were the catalyst to today’s LGBTQ movements in the United States and around the world.

In the years leading up to 1969, queer people saw laws passed that restricted their rights.

Because of these restrictions, many LGBTQ people found solace and refuge in gay bars.

Here, they felt they could be themselves.

Even these spaces were subject to unfair restrictions and laws, though. The New York Liquor Authority shut down establishments that served alcohol to “known or suspected LGBT individuals,” according to History.com. The gathering of LGBTQ people was considered “disorderly” by the New York Liquor Authority, but by 1966 these restrictive regulations were overturned.

Despite the small changes being made by activists, it was still illegal to perform “homo- People gather in Salt Lake City, Utah, for the annual Pride Parade in 2019. sexual acts” in public, such as two individuals of the same presenting gender holding hands queer patrons licenses, but the police were of- employees and people who were not complyor kissing.

an over the head as he was trying to shove her into a police car. She shouted for the crowd to do something, to take action.

The angry crowd of patrons began yelling and throwing things they found on the ground at officers in an attempt to get them to stop. In minutes, a riot was well underway.

Police officers and those they had arrested barricaded themselves inside in an attempt to get away from the violence. The riots escalated as the crowd set the Stonewall Inn on fire; the fire department was called and was able to put

out the fire and disperse the crowd.

The initial riots on June 28, 1969, led to six nights of protest and riots across the city. The Stonewall rebellion was not the beginning of the LGBTQ movement, but it was the catalyst of much bigger change that would come in the following decades.

These riots inspired many to take action and

v

stand up for who they were and the things they believed in. Many prominent figures in the LGBTQ community today took part in the Stonewall riots five decades ago, one of the most notable being Marsha P. Johnson.

In June of 1970, a year after the Stonewall riots, many gathered along Christopher Street where the Stonewall Inn was located

and marched in remembrance of what had taken place just a year before. Today, 51 years later, the month of June is dedicated to pride.

Though our marches look more like parades, we are still remembering what happened early in the morning of June 28, 1969, and the world-shaking events that took place.

Even now, the rights and safety of those in

the LGBTQ community are still being threatened, and pride reminds us to stop and celebrate our individuality.

The result of a three-month national search for the new dean of Weber State University’s College of Social & Behavioral Sciences came full circle with the appointment of Julie Rich as the new dean.

Rich has been serving as the interim dean since 2019 and has been serving as the interim dean since former Dean Francis Harrold stepped down.

Rich started her education at WSU and, according to a WSU announcement, “holds a bachelor’s in geography from Weber State, a master’s from the University of Utah and a Ph.D. in geography from St. John’s College, University of Oxford, England.”

Any time a new dean is appointed an indepth search for the best candidates is conducted. A search committee — consisting of staff, faculty, one student and a member from another college — comes together, creates a job description and begins a national search.

In March, the committee had roughly 30 applicants for the position. The process required each applicant to submit an application with a cover letter, C.V. with references and any relevant materials the applicants decided to provide.

Of the four finalists, one dropped out, leav-

ing three finalists for the position. All three finalists then met with stakeholders of WSU, Provost Ravi Krovi and WSU President Brad Mortensen. The candidates participated in Zoom interviews, visited the campus and gave presentations, which were broadcast campus-wide.

Rich described her time as interim dean as under “the blanket of a pandemic,” which consisted of a a lot of mental and physical stress.

“To reflect back on what we were able to do given all the stresses that were going on in our lives — and that’s everybody: students, faculty, staff. It’s amazing to me that people have the resilience to

be able to pull through during those two semesters that were really tough,” Rich said.

Rich emphasized the importance of having

finding ways to not only survive but to thrive.

Rich doesn’t think we would have made it through the pandemic without hope.

Rich expressed how the challenges the world faced were unexpected, disorienting and sometimes disheartening.

Krovi explained that Rich had the traits

for candidacy which were apparent in Rich’s visions for both the community and the university while she worked as interim dean, especially emphasizing Rich’s leadership and student-oriented duties over the past year.

Krovi said that Rich is a dean who will be student-centered. Her vision as dean is to en-

sure students leave with essential skills. Rich said she hopes to build graduates who are critical thinkers and send them out into the world to forge their own paths.

“The main reason that I am here,” Rich said, “is making sure that through their process of earning their degree that they’re learning,

they’re growing, they are gaining essential skills that are going to serve them well throughout their lives no matter what career path they take.”

The Bus Rapid Transit Line construction continues moving forward. The construction has made its way off the Weber State University Ogden Campus to Washington Boulevard and 26th, 25th and 24th streets in downtown Ogden.

According to email updates from Utah Transit Authority and the Ogden BRT team, work on the BRT station platform has begun. The reconstruction of Washington Boulevard to fit this station hub is underway both northbound and southbound.

Traffic may also be affected in the coming months as new waterlines, pedestrian crosswalks and other updates to traffic flow are implemented.

“To accommodate an Ogden City water line crossing at 26th Street, Washington Boule-

vard will be reduced to one lane in each direction between 24th and 26th streets through June 6,” an email from May 28 said.

Construction on WSU’s Ogden campus continues around the Ada Lindquist Plaza and the Browning Center. Detours to avoid sidewalk closures are in effect on campus for the foreseeable future.

The Ada Lindquist Plaza is getting a reconstructed set of stairs and an additional sidewalk to improve the flow of the BRT. According to a post on the project’s Facebook page, UTA has been working on this project for over 20 years. Some of the earlier models of the plan included a gondola and a streetcar. The post also says the BRT was identified as the most feasible and cost-effective solution during an environmental assessment.

The BRT will provide better connection from the FrontRunner station to downtown Ogden,

WSU and McKay-Dee Hospital. It will also increase transportation options for residents and visitors without contributing to greenhouse gases and air pollution.

When construction began on the WSU Ogden campus, just below the Browning Center, a groundbreaking was held on campus to commemorate the event.

“Bringing a dedicated transit route to campus improves accessibility for students, provides an eco-friendly transportation alternative and minimizes the impact of commuters for our surrounding community,” WSU President Brad Mortensen said.

The BRT construction will continue into 2023, but the timeline and schedule can be subject to change depending on supplies, equipment and weather.

WSU CREATIVE WRITING PROGRAM RANKS #2 IN NATION

By JOSHUA KAMP Section Editor

Weber State University has appeared on collegerank.net as part of their “35 Best Bachelor’s in Writing” lineup. WSU scored No. 2 nationwide for the creative writing emphasis program, an optional supplement to the Bachelor of Arts in English degree.

“There’s a lot of great stuff going on in creative writing right now,” Abraham Smith, a codirector of creative writing at WSU, said.

“That’s why we are in the process of rebranding our program.”

Smith, primarily a teacher of poetry, has been with WSU since 2017 and also teaches the Intro to Creative Writing, or ENG 2250, courses. He and Ryan Ridge have codirected the program for the past three years.

One-hundred-thirty-one students are currently in the program. “It’s always been pretty robust, but this is the highest it has been in 10 years,” Ridge said of the count.

Ridge is a writer of fiction and poetry and

describes himself as “more of an experimental writer.”

“I have taught everything from Intro to Writing up to graduate fiction writing workshops,” Ridge said.

The two came into a program that was already thriving in a number of ways, Smith said, and have maintained the positive momentum while adding some new elements.

Smith began an open mic night that he says is a vital aspect of creating community among writers, as well as expanding upon the Visiting Writers guest speaker series. Open mic night was moved to Zoom because of the pandemic, but Smith said it will be back in person in the fall.

Ridge spearheads Metaphor, the WSU student fiction magazine, and other community projects such as a flash fiction writing contest, the winners of which read their winning pieces at special open mic night events.

According to Smith and Ridge, these two endeavors have paved the way to the program’s success by creating a community environment

and encouraging professionalization in students through Metaphor and guest authors.

“We have been working diligently to help our students as they graduate to move on to the next level, which in creative writing students would be a Master’s of Fine Arts,” Smith said.

In the past two years, five students have graduated from the creative writing program and moved on to top-tier Master of Fine Arts programs across the country, according to Smith.

Riding the momentum forward, Smith and Ridge plan to bring all the elements of the program and larger writing community together in the form of a regional writing center.

“We are still working on the name, but we will be moving forward on that very soon,” Ridge said.

The creative writing department faculty has published over 25 books, held esteemed fellowships, won literary and teaching awards, and routinely performs their work on national stages, a draft of a brochure for the new writ-

ing center states.

Leading the next round of WSU’s Visiting Writers series on Sept. 14 is Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Forrest Gander. Gander won the prize in 2019 for his poetry volume “Be With.”

Smith encourages interested students to “hop into our 2250 and take it from there.”

Students wanting to get involved in creative writing at the university can also “submit to the magazine, but also help to run the magazine,” Ridge said, referring to Metaphor. You don’t have to be a creative writing student to get involved.

The Utah Opera

10 | MyWeberMedia.com| June 8, 2021

The Utah Opera is returning to the Janet Quinney Lawson Capitol Theater for the 2021-22 season.

By MAYKEL VALLADARES

Correspondent

After having to cut their last season short, the Utah Opera is returning to the Janet Quinney Lawson Capitol Theater for live performances in the 2021-22 season.

“One of the things I miss most about live theater is our audience,” Christopher McBeth, artistic director of the Utah Opera, said during a Facebook livestream announcing the upcoming season. “I miss the communal feeling of seeing something spectacular on stage.”

The Utah Opera will start the season in October with Rossini’s “The Barber of Seville.” This opera was supposed to be performed during the 2020-21 season. However, in March of

2020, the Utah Opera had to cancel the show the day before their final dress rehearsal due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I can’t think of a better production to start coming back to live theater,” Sarah Coit, who plays Rosina in the production, said. “It’s so colorful and so much fun.”

Kathleen Sykes, social media manager for the Utah Symphony and Utah Opera, said people on Twitter were upset that no one would be able to see the production. She said she is excited that the opera will finally be able to put on the production for a live audience.

Along with more well-known operas, the Utah Opera hopes to start including more lesser-known and recently composed operas.

In January 2022, the opera will premiere the

1998 contemporary opera “Flight” by Jonathan Dove and April De Angelis. It will be conducted by guest conductor Robert Tweten, with Kristine McIntyre as stage director.

“Presenting contemporary works is both important and necessary for the health of opera and the interests of our patrons,” McBeth said.

“If one looks at the regularly-performed cherished classics, one sees that the music and stories had relevance to their audience.”

McBeth compared “Flight” to Mozart’s “The Marriage of Figaro,” saying that, while both operas are comedies, they also explore real-life issues.

“While it entertains, this opera also shows how the art form can help us understand the people around us,” McBeth said.

Even though live performances are coming back, the season will not be the same as in the past. Seating is limited, social distancing will be enforced and masks are still required during the performances.

After “The Barber of Seville” in October and “Flight” in January, the Utah Opera plans to present Puccini’s “Tosca” in March and Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Pirates of Penzance” in May. Single-performance tickets will go on sale June 15.

Exercise machines are set up on a basketball court in Swenson Gym at the Stromberg Complex.

By MILES SHAW Section Editor

Weber State University’s Stromberg Complex is the home of recreation for Wildcat students wanting to pump iron, shoot hoops, swing a tennis racket, jump in a pool or climb up a rock wall.

Although the complex has had limited hours and activities because of the pandemic, it’s still open to students who want to stay active but away from the summer heat.

“All cardio and weight training areas are available for use and are set up for social distancing,” Matthew Barker, Stromberg Complex facility manager, said. “We are currently not permitting the use of any of our indoor courts for drop-in activities.”

The facility is home to Wildcat Arena, Swenson Gym and pool, tennis and racquetball

“Equipment is being cleaned multiple times a day and face coverings are still required when not actively engaged in exercise,” Barker said.

The climbing wall is currently being used for academic purposes only, but drop-in climbing is available in the Outdoor Adventure and Welcome Center.

Swenson pool is available for lap swimming but must be reserved ahead of time.

Almost any activity is available for Wildcat students looking to become or stay active in their free time.

Classes include tennis, racquetball and basketball among many others.

“The Stromberg Complex is a huge space consisting of two major departments. The College of Education, which I work for, and Campus Recreation,” Barker said. “We work closely to complement each other’s departments with the types of activities and equipment we offer.”

Swenson Gym features a weight room and basketball courts surrounded by a track for running.

“It has been incredible to see the amount and diversity of the people utilizing that equipment,” Barker said. “Students and community of all demographics have been trying out and loving our improved free weight area.”

“As per the guidance from the WSU COVID-19 Taskforce, we will continue our current protocols until at least June 25,” Barker said.

The Stress Relief Center is located on the first floor in room 124, but is currently closed due to the pandemic.

The SRC plans to open for fall semester in August and features massage chairs, inversion tables, a biofeedback machine and reclining chairs among other tools to help students relax.

“I definitely believe that we have one of — if not the best — student gyms in the state,” Barker said.
