Thank You JMA,
But I Am Only Doing My Job
Everybody likes to get accolades, especially when they do something
special or nice. It is not false modesty when I say; "1 am only doing
my job." That is what I was recognized for. If that means I have made
a difference in the lives of the people that read or contribute to the
paper, icing on the cake.
The problem with being recognized for acing what you enjoy and
what you have dedicated yourself to, is once the applause dies down
you're still doing the same job, but now with a question ever present
in the back of your mind, am I doing it well enough?
My other problem in being singled out is there are many others in
the community who are doing more than their job, and have for years
without recognition. They may move from club to club and in and out
of organizations bringing with them an energy and dedication to tasks
that was missing, then moving on quietly. Those are the people who
need the recognition. They are the ones that without their nose to
the grindstone attitude, things just wouldn't get done. They are the
ones who not only deserve the recognition, they deserve to have .their
names in lights on a marquee. Some do it for the self satisfaction,
some for the pats on the back by those that have noticed, other
because they know that they have the skills and don't want them to
go away.
There are also the casual volunteers who show up for a specific
project when asked. Who don't complain about the weather, or early
hour, they just want to help, to make a difference. This group is not
seeking accolades or remuneration, they enjoy and relish the feeling
they get from helping.
We in the back country have that spirit of volunteering, it's how we
get things done. People just seem to gravitate to areas they have
expertise or a deep interest in, and do the job. It's how we keep a
fire department together, how breakfast at the legion can always
be a fund raising event. It's why the Banjo Fiddle contest/Bluegrgss
festival is approaching its fortieth year or the Melodrama has run for
over 50 years. People in the community step up. They do it out of
pride, they do it for family, they do it for fun. My point is, they do it.
There are a lot of folks who have lived in these parts many more
years than I, some go back generations, who not only understand
this, they were raised to do your job and know that someday the credit
would find you. If not immediately then down the road.
Today we seem to live in a world demanding instant gratification,
immediate recognition, praise is heaped on for the simplest of
accomplishments. If it isn't, then you may have harmed that persons
psyche, stunted their development, doomed them to a life of
mediocrity.., what a load of crap!
Life is about working toward goals and always keeping your head
up, not about how much praise you can garner. Praise comes to
those who earn it, not demand or expect it. There is a person here in

I others (actually there are dozens). They do for others without asking

Being selected as Merchant of the Year is an honor, lappreciate /
that. I have enjoyed the congratulations from friends and other - PIS iacos &95
business owners, who all seem to think that what I do is important for
the community. 2018 Main Street • 760 765 4600
What I think is important is this community, and The Julian News is
the "Community's" paper. That is what I have set as a goal, to provide
the community with a vehicle to communicate. Those that think it I
have some hidden agenda of swaying opinion to reflect a particular
philosophy have not paid attention to what we have been doing for the
past six years and are not just mistaken, they are wrong.
The opportunity is here for every member of the community to
get their event in the paper, to make sure that their pet project is
exposed, to vent their frustration or sing praises. I told the gathering
at the Merchant Association Dinner that this is the Julian News and
as long as I am involved will always be Julian first (followed closely
by Cuyamaca, Santa Ysabel, Warner, Ranchita, Shelter Valley and
Sunshine Summit). All I ask is that you follow a simple rule. Keep it
local.., local events, local people, local issues. Because if you submit
it, I will print it (as long as it makes deadline-Fridays by noon).
That is my job.
