Hi, kids!
“And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke
Where does the time go?
At the end of each year, I like to recognize those intrepid souls who, in my cynical opinion, either contributed to our quality of life – or detracted from it – in some significant way as we proudly unveil the 2021 Barker’s View Honor Roll!
I know, I know – but it remains the only civic honor (however dubious) in Volusia County that our “Rich & Powerful” cannot buy. . .
Whatever.
From our social, civic, and economic elite – the ‘movers and shakers’ and entrenched insiders with infinite power and influence – to us lowly rubes who struggle mightily, eke out a living, and raise families in this weird artificial economy – we all have a vested interest in improving our lot here on Florida’s Fun Coast.
That proposition has become increasingly difficult in an era where elected bodies enact draconian rules, often cloaked as “civility ordinances,” designed to protect the sensitive feelings of our elected officials and prevent substantive public engagement – a time when approaching The Monarchy for redress of grievances is a frustrating exercise in futility – as the important decisions are settled by “staff recommendations” and political insulation committees long before the choreographed theater of a public meeting.
Now, the prevailing ‘Us vs. Them’ mentality has left many rightly convinced we deserve better from those who control our fate – increasingly willing to participate in our democratic process and elect likeminded neighbors – as we work to wrest power from the bloated bureaucracy (and those who control it) and return it to We, The Little People.
Thank you.
You are my heroes.
I honor those who fight the good fight – who persevere, overcome, and make a life here in Volusia County – those who stand for elective office for the right reasons and endure the slings and arrows of harsh criticism and the career civil servants who have devoted their lives to public service – the watchers, voters, and dedicated gadflies who courageously let their voice be heard – and those of us up here in the cheap seats who pay the bills and suffer in silence.
Thank you.
To those hardworking civic activists who fight valiantly to protect our natural places, improve amenities, and enhance our quality of life – from visionary environmental advocates and those who fight for animal rights to beach driving supporters and beyond – your dedication and perseverance is inspiring.
Thank you.
I never lose sight of the fact that cynical blowholes like me do not matter.
As Roosevelt said, the real credit belongs to those “who are actually in the arena” – who spend themselves in a worthy cause – and the grassroots efforts of neighborhood organizations and volunteers form the very backbone of our community.
Thank you.
Six years ago, I launched Barker’s View to provide an alternative opinion on the news and newsmakers in east Central Florida – and I could never have imagined how many of you would take the time to read, welcome a different perspective, and consider these diatribes for what they are – and what they are not.
Thanks to your engagement, this blog continues to open doors and influence opinion – and I appreciate the opportunity to meet and correspond with so many wonderful people – including a few of those powerbrokers and politicians I take to the woodshed – some of whom still have the humility and sense of humor to laugh at themselves and our situation.
While I cannot know the hundreds-of-thousands of you who have visited this site – including readers from some eighty-five countries around the globe this year alone – I appreciate each of you for taking the time to connect with Barker’s View.
Thank you.
Invariably, whenever I meet readers of Barker’s View – you are incredibly kind to me – and take the time to offer your own unique perspective on the issues, point out where we agree or differ, and provide constructive criticism.
Thank you.
To everyone who reached out this year, stopped me in the grocery isle, wrote a note, or sat down next to me on a barstool to solve the world’s problems, pass some gossip, commiserate, share a joke, argue a fine point, or just lend a word of encouragement.
Thank you.
I appreciate that more than you know.
The problem with making lists is you will invariably (and inadvertently) omit someone most deserving and if I have overlooked your contributions, please forgive me – know it was not intentional – and let me know where I fell short. The mistake is mine alone.
While this Honor Roll is not all inclusive, it begins and ends with YOU.
Those who read, contribute, opine, comment, argue, agree, disagree, disparage, elevate, share, offer solutions, moderate a social media site, educate our children, speak truth to power, serve on an advisory board, plan for our future, think and care deeply, offer criticism, further the discussion, serve their community, care for the sick and infirm, save lives, raise the bar, give generously, provide hope and encouragement – political allies and foes alike – who can still be my friend when the heated debate is over.
Thank you.
But most of all, to the faithful readers of Barker’s View – the independent thinkers who analyze and contemplate my often-warped thoughts on the myriad issues of the day – vehemently and honestly disagreeing with my skewed views – and those who share these screeds to provoke a larger discussion in the community, an important exercise that can lead to innovative ideas and solutions to the problems we face.
Thank you.
You are making a difference!
In the coming year, the good Lord willing, I will be here – spectating from the Peanut Gallery – cocktail in hand – a rheumy-eyed witness to the machinations of our local players, powerbrokers, and politicians – providing you, the devoted members of the Barker’s View Tribe, with my jaded opinions and odd perspective on the issues that affect our lives and livelihoods.
Thank you all – and may God bless each of you and this beautiful place we call home.
That’s all for me in 2021, y’all!
Here’s wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!
