Crawford was also instrumental in establishing Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday as a state holiday and was more recently involved in the May 14 dedication of Harvey Milk Boulevard on 900 South in Salt Lake City. This street, and others named after Cesar Chavez, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., represents the connection of civil rights ideas among coalitions. Referring to how Steinem’s feminist advocacy also brought in views of different ethnicities and sexual identities, Crawford said his work whether it involves those with disabilities, Native Americans, Latin-Americans or African-Americans would follow the same goals as when he advocates for the LGBT community. “Civil rights are human rights,” Crawford said. “I don’t STORM ››continued from front and find my car damaged,” Chiles said. The car had a crushed windshield, large tree limbs resting on the caved-in hood and dents covering the body, but Chiles was thankful that her car was the only thing crushed by debris. She planned to begin the elaborate process of contacting her insurance company and mechanic the next day. As for what she may do differently moving forward, Chiles was confident in one thing. “I’m probably not going to be parking under any trees for a while,” she said with a laugh. Judkins was at home with his family when the storm struck Weber State and the surrounding areas. Judkins and his family live on the road that connects WSU’s main campus to the Dee Events Center, Taylor Avenue. He came outside after the storm and saw that a large tree had fallen in his neighbor’s front yard, nearly hitting a truck parked in the driveway. Judkins said that this is not the homeowners’ primary residence, and, in fact, he barely knows them. That did nothing to stop him, his wife and several other Taylor Avenue residents from getting to work cleaning up the mess. The buzzing of distinguish for any particular reason other than if a group has a pressing need in this state in this community where they have been subjugated and their rights have been abridged. It’s likely that I’m going to end up trying to assert those needs.” Crawford said of Steinem, “I think her presence here is a reminder of how this work overlaps and intersects in a very dynamic way.” Another individual receiving the award is Dr. Rixt Luikenaar, an OB-GYN who, according chainsaws replaced the howling of the wind as they made short work of the downed tree an hour after the storm ripped through their neighborhood. “It’s just the right thing to do,” Judkins said. “We chopped it down, and it only took about 45 minutes.” Things didn’t end quite so easily for Horne, however. The storm surprised her and her teammates during practice, but it passed over them quickly. However, it left an unwelcome surprise. “When we came outside, four of our cars had windshields broken,” Horne said. “Then we came home, and we couldn’t even get inside because the power was out.” Horne lives on campus at University Village, which lost power during the storm. According to Rocky Mountain Power, about 35,000 homes in Davis and Weber counties were without power as a result of the storm. Power was restored shortly after 9 p.m., but many residents had already found another place to sleep. Though brief, the storm left its mark on Ogden and the surrounding areas. Weber State University and its students were on the receiving end of plenty of damage, but no injuries were reported on campus.

Another successful campaign involved working with Mitch Weight, the founder of Sahbu, a non-governmental organization that provides scholarships for African children to study at pre-fabricated schools. At one village in Liberia, the elders expressed their concern over alluvial diamonds present in the nearby floodplains the government could sell the rights to strip-mine the area to a foreign body, who would also relocate the villagers. Patrick helped Weight start Humanitarian Diamonds, an organization that sold diamonds before the ebola outbreak halted exports. The duo gave the proceeds back to the village as well as four others for development. “I really wanted to make sure that people knew what kind of impact he had,” Weight said. “He wasn’t just a fun-loving, energetic, sometimes challenging guy — he was actually making a huge difference in the world with what he did.” The family has started an endowment titled the Patrick R. Parkinson Memorial Scholarship for Journalism at WSU, dric Willingham said, “It is far easier to whisper advice from cover than to risk its merits at the point of attack.” In the words of Crawford, Willingham meant that “There needs to be more courage for individuals to come out and support these issues ... In other words, the more humanity is undermined, the more presence we ought to have as a community.” Comment on this story at signpost.mywebermedia.com which will benefit applicants majoring in communications.
