•
A RESOLUTION.OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA COMMENDING KEITH SIKES,FOR HIS SERVICES TO
THE CITY.
The City Council of the City of Azusa does hereby resolve
as follows:
WHEREAS, there exists a wide and seemingly bottomless pit
separating opposing perceptions of journalistic
activities, some in agreement with the observation
that, "Every newspaper editor owes tribute to the
devil", while others are in accord with Will Rogers'
opinion that, "All I know is what I see in the paper",
and
WHEREAS, balanced precariously, treading the often slack and
frayed rope of public opinion,anchored at each end
by the Constitution and Commerce, is the journalist,
carefully proceeding to a destination vaguely defined
as Fulfilled Artistic Creativity, all the while
buffeted by hot spurts of fury blasting him, or her,
from every conceivable direction and angle, and
WHEREAS, into this mephitic arena, catapulted by the errant
hand of fate, fell a winsome, milk cheeked lad,
named KEITH SIKES, from the borean climes of New
England, and
WHEREAS, regardless of personal viewpoint or opinion, all must
acknowledge the miracle of life that unites us as we
pursue diverse paths on this,.our terrestrial habitat,
and •
WHEREAS, this unifying fact of life, viewed through unclouded
and unbiased eyes permits an appreciative view of our
collective values as we, gaining new insights into
teleologic motivation can, in a broade'r•sense, under-
stand the reasons for convergence and divergence of
opinions and deeds. We can, finally, through it all,
celebrate life in its dazzling panoply, and the friend-
ship that emerges, welding us together in an impregnable
alloy commingling our various spiritual and philosophi-
cal differences;
NOW, THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED,: that the City Council of the City of
Azusa, recognizing the innate worth of the contributions to the
enrichment of our society by.the Fourth Estate, commends KEITH SIKES
as a worthy representative of his medium.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 16th day of November, 1981.
