Hi, kids!
“And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke
Where does the time go?
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 2022 Barker’s View Honor Roll!
In coming weeks, the annual Halifax area rubber chicken banquet season will be in full swing.
That time of the year when various chambers of commerce, political organizations, and exclusive civic clubs dress up in their finery and bestow honors and accolades on all the right last names while We, The Little People sit in gridlocked traffic wondering how in the hell anyone could take credit for…this.
However dubious, the Barker’s View Honor Roll remains the only prize in Volusia County that our “Rich & Powerful” cannot buy!
No, this honor is reserved for you – all of you – from the gilded Halls of Power to the thousands of strapped families trying desperately to find safe and affordable housing on a warehouse workers wage.
From our social, civic, and economic elite – the ‘movers and shakers’ with outsized influence – to us lowly rubes who struggle desperately to eke out a living and raise families in this weird artificial economy – we all have a personal stake in improving our quality of life here on Florida’s fabled Fun Coast.
That proposition has become increasingly difficult in an era when elected bodies are little more than elaborate rubber stamps – malleable marionettes who enact rules to prevent substantive citizen engagement and interaction – a time when addressing The Monarchy for redress of grievances is a frustrating exercise in futility as the important decisions are predetermined by influential insiders and laundered through political insulation committees long before the choreographed theater of a public meeting.
Don’t take my word for it.
Take time out of your busy workday to attend a meeting of the Volusia County Council – approach your elected officials on the dais of power – and see if they acknowledge your physical presence, let alone answer your questions. . .
As a result, the prevailing ‘Us vs. Them’ mentality has many rightly convinced that we deserve better from those who control our fate and are increasingly willing to speak truth to power.
Thank you.
You are my heroes.
I honor all who fight the good fight – those who stand for elective office for the right reasons and endure the slings and arrows of harsh criticism, the administrators and career civil servants who have devoted their lives to public service, the watchers, the informed voters, and dedicated gadflies who so 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 struggle valiantly to protect our natural places, improve amenities, preserve our unique traditions, keep our history alive, and enhance our quality of life – from committed environmentalists and those who fight for animal rights to beach driving supporters, smart growth advocates, and beyond – your dedication and perseverance is inspiring.
Thank you.
I never lose sight of the fact that the opinions of cynical blowhards 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 – the grassroots efforts of neighborhood organizations, the philanthropists who give so generously, and the volunteers who form the very backbone of our community.
Thank you.
Seven years ago, I launched Barker’s View as one man’s soapbox, a place to vent my jaundiced spleen and provide an alternative opinion on the news and newsmakers in Central Florida – neither always right, nor always wrong.
I could never have imagined how many of you would take the time to read, welcome a unique perspective, and consider these diatribes for what they are – and what they are not.
Thanks to your engagement, this blog continues to open doors, shine a light, and influence opinion – and I appreciate the opportunity to meet and correspond with so many wonderful people – including a few of those “power brokers” and politicians I take to the woodshed – some of whom still have the humility and sense of humor to laugh at themselves and our collective situation.
While I cannot know the hundreds-of-thousands of you who have visited this site – including readers from some 87 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 Barker’s View readers – 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, provide constructive criticism, and give suggestions for future content.
Thank you.
To everyone who reached out this year, stopped to chat in the grocery aisle, wrote a note, or sat down next to me on a barstool to discuss the world’s problems, pass along 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 – it was not intentional.
Please 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, participate in politics, educate our children, speak out, campaign for public office, serve on an advisory board, plan for our future, offer criticism, demand accountability, serve their community, care for the sick and infirm, risk their lives to save others, raise the bar, give generously, provide hope and encouragement – political allies and foes alike – anyone who can still be my friend when the heated debate is over.
Thank you.
Most of all, to the faithful readers of Barker’s View – the independent thinkers who analyze and contemplate my warped thoughts on the myriad issues of the day – and those who further 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!
The Good Lord willing, in the coming year, I will be here – spectating from the Peanut Gallery – cocktail in hand – a rheumy-eyed witness to the machinations of our local players, power brokers, and politicians – providing you, the devoted members of the Barker’s View Tribe, with one man’s jaded opinion on the important issues that affect our lives and livelihoods.
Thank you all. May God bless each of you and this beautiful place we call home.
That’s all for me in 2022, y’all!
Here’s wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!
