*** Communicating change: The emotional journey

*** This issue was assembled in part while in Memphis, Tennessee. I had a very interesting visit to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the Navy’s Large Cavitation Tunnel. I enjoyed dinner at Itta Bena (just above B.B. King’s restaurant) (http://www.opentable.com/itta-bena-at-bb-kings) at Second Ave. and Beale Street (yes, I had fried green tomatoes). My hotel was conveniently located on the Norfolk Southern rail line so I could listen to the locomotives going by all night.

*** From Jake Poinier:

Hi Ned:

It's that time of year — I'm conducting my annual “Freelance Forecast” industry survey, now in its third campaign. The goal is to cultivate and share information that can help improve clients understand freelancers and vice versa. There are two different versions of the survey:

For clients/businesses who hire freelance writers/editors, designers, photographers, etc., the “Client Perspectives” link is:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ClientForecast2011

For freelancers, the “Freelancer Perspectives” link is:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FreelanceForecast2011

As in past years, all participants receive the results of both surveys, and will be entered into a drawing for a $100 iTunes, OfficeMax or STAPLES gift certificate. The surveys close on January 14, 2011.

If you would be kind enough to blurb it again this year in JOTW, I'd be most appreciative. Your readership has always been very responsive.

Thank you, and Happy New Year!

*** Miss Landmine Cambodia Pageant: Provocative Art or Pejorative 'Project'?

by Masum Momaya

From July 2010, this opinion article weighs in on a beauty pageant held in Cambodia for girls and women who had lost limbs in landmine explosions. The author explores gender concerns on the use of beauty pageants as awareness raising tools, the question of whether publicising disabilities through individuals with disabilities enhances their empowerment or agency, and the sustainability and benefits to the disabled of such awareness raising.

Town to Town Tour Adopt-A-Mile

Third annual cross-country ski/showshoe event

Aspen to Basalt on the Rio Grande Trail

Saturday, January 22, 2011

After a one-year break, the 3rd annual Town to Town Tour is back this winter, scheduled for Saturday, January 22, 2011, this time finishing up in charming “Old Town” Basalt. The Tour is a non-competitive cross-country ski and snowshoe event created to bring our community out on one of the Roaring Fork Valley’s great public trails, the Rio Grande, while raising awareness of RFOV and its mission. In 2008 and 2009, more than 360 people, ages 1-80, skied or snowshoed the 18 miles from Aspen to Basalt in this popular community event.

The Tour took a hiatus in 2010 after the downturn in the economy made it difficult to secure enough financial sponsors to guarantee a quality event for the winter. Now, with a ramped-up committee of seasoned volunteers and newcomers, RFOV is planning for another successful event in 2011. A big part of that success will depend on strong fundraising and sponsorships.

“Our goal is to raise $45,000 in sponsorships, to cover all of RFOV’s hard costs (tents, food & beverages, and permits), staff time, and to raise a modest amount for RFOV’s summer trails and conservation programs,” says Development Coordinator Karin Teague. “While this is a big undertaking for us, we see the Tour as a totally unique and much-loved winter event that brings the greater Roaring Fork Valley community together, while giving us an opportunity to educate the public about who we are and the important work RFOV does.”

One of the new sponsorship opportunities RFOV has created is the Adopt-A-Mile program. For $500, businesses or organizations can “adopt” one mile of the Rio Grande Trail, where they can promote their business by engaging skiers and snowshoers with drinks, music, swag, contests—whatever they can dream up—as they pass on the trail.

“Adding the Adopt-A-Mile will bring a fun element to the route, and give sponsors an opportunity to gain more exposure,” says Kathleen Wanatowicz, Tour publicity coordinator. “We developed this program based on feedback from Tour participants—it can be a long event for new participants—so interactive stops along the way will help them along, as well as give sponsors a chance to directly engage with the participants.”

RFOV expects close to 400 participants again this winter. The Tour will begin at Rio Grande Park in Aspen, with an optional mid-course start and refreshment station at Woody Creek. New this year, the finish will be in downtown Basalt, with fantastic food and drink provided by local restaurants. The improvements to the Town to Town Tour will make this great community event even more popular, so mark your winter calendar for January 22, 2011! To become a sponsor, to volunteer, or for more information, call 927-8241 or email rfov@sopris.net.

*** National Rail-Trail of the month:

Trail of the Month: January 2011

New Jersey's Sussex Branch Trail

On an icy January morning, the air is so still you can hear the beat of a hawk's wings in the bare blue sky overhead. Tree trunks creak and groan like an old rocking chair, and winter has put a frozen glaze on the landscape. But you won't mind if you've bundled up for a romp on New Jersey's 20-mile Sussex Branch Trail, where the solitude will have you feeling as crisp as the season.

In fact, winter might be the best season to explore this rail-trail. Its surface is slightly rough and uneven in places, with an off-and-on mixture of gravel, ballast, cinder, dirt and grass. But throw some powder on the ground, and the Sussex Branch Trail becomes a pristine highway of outdoor activity.

New York City is barely 60 miles to the east, yet the change of pace and scenery as you approach northern New Jersey can be startling. One moment you're racing with traffic on Interstate 80. The next minute you're curling through woodlands and farmsteads, winding from Branchville to Byram Township with stops in Lafayette, Newton and Andover. You've traded honking horns for horse corrals and gentle hillsides. So strap on your cross-country skis or hiking boots, or climb up into that saddle, because the Sussex Branch Trail shines when the season shivers.

In terms of elevation gain, you'll notice little advantage starting at either end of the trail, which opened in 1998. You can pick up the path at multiple trailheads and road crossings, or even extend your journey on the 27-mile Paulinskill Valley Trail. But if you're looking for a fitting starting point, head to Branchville, once the western terminus of the Sussex Branch Railroad Company line.

Iron mining first brought the railroad as far north as Andover. Later, a series of creameries drew the tracks farther north into cow country to service the dairy demand. Before the rail line reached Branchville in 1869, those local creameries were limited to producing butter and cheese. After the trains arrived, and with improved refrigeration, area farmers were able to transport their milk to distant markets. The dairy industry quickly took off. By the early 1900s, the Branchville Creamery alone was bottling 9,000 quarts of milk each day, and Sussex County bragged about having more cows than people.

New Jersey's dairy heyday dried out by the 1960s due to increased costs and stricter health regulations. A fire at the Branchville Creamery effectively ended its business in 1962, and other nearby creameries soon closed down as well. Without its customers, the railroad discontinued service in 1966.

Most of the original creameries have disappeared, but some have been renovated for other uses, including one just off the trail a few miles east of Branchville. South of Ross Corner on U.S. Route 206, you'll pass a large building housing several small offices. It was once Becker's Creamery, which operated during the Civil War.

After you cross Route 206, you'll settle into the crunching cadence of your footsteps. Weekdays on the Sussex Branch Trail are particularly peaceful, and you aren't likely to pass more than a few locals walking their dogs. Mostly you'll see signs of the animals that have hit the trail since the last snowfall—deer tracks, tiny paw prints and birds' claw marks—and the long ruts of cross-country skiers. (Black bears are around, but not commonly seen.)

A narrow tree strip hugs the corridor, and the trunk shadows zebra-stripe the snow. And as you approach Lafayette the woodlands grow deeper. A gushing stream ushers you into town, where you'll find several enticing cafés and antiques stores. As you leave the town behind, the pathway doglegs south, backyards peel away, and Highway 15 vanishes from sight and sound.

A series of lakes, often frozen over during the peak of winter, soon opens up to the west. Someone has fashioned an aging, makeshift bench here on the trail; if it's still standing, the spot very much warrants a pause to soak up the scene and listen to the distant honking of Canada geese across the ice.

Shortly down the trail, you'll reach the one break in the corridor: a 1.1-mile detour along the shoulder of Old Branchville/Newton Branchville Junction Road. It's a bit narrow at points, so you'll have to be mindful of traffic. Follow the road as it angles up a hill to the west and becomes Hicks Avenue in Newton. The rail-trail picks up again on your left and leads you to Sparta Avenue. At that intersection, you'll easily spot the kiosk and trailhead across the street on Strickles Pond Road.

From there, the peacefulness of the rail-trail climaxes. Crows caw and flutter in the naked treetops, and their shadows dash back and forth across the trail. You'll pass through rock cuts and steep slopes and notice how elevated the railroad berm has grown. The corridor feels most wild and sequestered along this segment heading through Kittatinny Valley State Park. Then, as if to wake you from a winter dream, the trail comes within range of Route 206 once again as you head into Andover. Lake Aeroflex and the Aeroflex-Andover Airport are off to the east, and you'll feel the vibrations of business life more closely again.

South of Andover, you continue on to the trail's terminus at Waterloo Road in Byram Township (there is a fairly rough and rocky section near Cranberry Lake). When you reach the end in Allamuchy Mountain State Park, you can shake the snow from your boots and shed a few layers. But however you choose to unwind and recharge from your trip, rarely will a thaw feel more satisfying than after a snowy stint on the Sussex Branch Trail.

*** Tenth anniversary observations:

*** Ten years down the hatch:

Good day, Ned! On the occasion of JOTW's 10th anniversary, here are some memories of JOTW and its nedwork:

I was an early-ish adopter of JOTW – back in 2001 or 2002. After doing communication work for years, but without the word “communication” in my title, I was a newly-minted official communications professional, with a still-wet BA in my grasp. A colleague, Irene Monley, suggested I join up. I immediately felt at home with the nedwork, although I've since misplaced my membership card.

Here's what I like about JOTW:

• Quotations – oft irreverent yet relevant, I scour each issue for these gems.

• Musical accompaniment – from the obscure to the sublime. In fact, once you featured my parents' CD, the Ken and Barb Lemons Quartet (jazz classics).

• The suggested, perhaps, maybe policy regarding the submission of t-shirts, hats or other trinkets (size XL). I think I sent you a small model truck once (size Tom Thumb).

• Piracy reports – when I was in grad school, during our international logistics class' discussion of the perils of shipping, I educated the class on modern piracy. Even the professor did not believe me when I said I received weekly piracy reports (but I improved my class standing when I proved it).

• Alternative job opportunities – I like them. I read them every week, even when I don't read the communication jobs because I'm such a happy camper that I'm not looking to change jobs just yet. For those of you who think they should be dropped from JOTW: Get your own listserv if it bothers you. Scroll past it, or close your eyes until the scary part is over.

• Good, old-fashioned American storytelling – I doubt I am the only reader who enjoys the stories about Ned's travels, family, pals, dog, the Navy and the Boy Scouts.

• Humor me – please! Even though I know it's coming, I can still be surprised by the March 32nd issue. I get a kick out of the sass provided by Ned, Mike, Connie, Robert, et al. Keep it coming!

Here's what I don't like about JOTW:

In honor of the start of JOTW's second decade, I'll offer up an old Scottish toast (you'll have to imagine me speaking in a very bad Scottish burr):

Here's to ye

Who's like ye?

No one –

They're all dead.

Here's to ye, faithful Ned! Thanks for the hundreds of emails and thousands of job listings, quotes, stories and quips.

Kind regards, cj

Connie J Mayse, MBA

*** From Kris Gallagher, ABC:

For 10 years, Ned's JOTW has stopped me from feeling guilty.

You see, I used to find out about job openings, but often didn't have any friends or professional colleagues who were interested in the spot. I always felt guilty about clicking the delete button, like I was throwing away a perfectly good sweater just because it didn't fit me. Somebody, somewhere, needed it.

Then along came Ned. (Anybody remember the tune to “Along Came Jones?”) Suddenly, I had a fast and easy way to circulate all those openings to people who were on the hunt. I have no idea if any of Ned's readers have gotten the jobs I've shared. But, I know they all had the chance to try on those “sweaters.” Instead of feeling bad about hitting “delete,” I feel good about hitting “send”. And that is a feeling I've been able to enjoy nearly every week for years.

Thanks, Ned. You're an angel (a tough, hard-nosed angel, but an angel nevertheless).

Kris Gallagher, ABC

*** From Larry Bearfield:

JOTW is 10???!!! Holy crap – no way!! That means that when JOTW was born I was pushing 50… My 3 Grandchildren weren't born yet and even Ferns Country Store had yet to arrive! I think we were still producing OpSki (Operation Ski & Snowboard) back then. I dunno. 10 years is a long time and my mind doesn't recall stuff. That's why we all have you. My hat is off to you Ned – you've persevered… you've put up with the rants…. you've taken the hits.. you've taken your initial kernel of an idea and nurtured it along into something that few understood in the beginning (and some are clueless still). One of the best parts is that I was there at the beginning when we talked about it. It's been fun watching JOTW grow up. But the even better part is that you've refused to grow up with it! Congrats! On to the 10 Years After.

An Essay on JOTW’s 10th Anniversary

An Essay on JOTW’s 10th Anniversary

Mike Sorohan

Ned Lundquist, ABC, recently brought to my attention that JOTW reached its 10th anniversary. He need not have reminded me, for I’ve had it circled on my calendar for quite some time now, in red, with cartoon hearts and exclamation points. I haven’t been this excited since my first Kelly Clarkson concert.

Ten years! And to think, I was there at the birth–and what an ugly birth it was: a prolonged labor; a difficult delivery; a great deal of blood and other fluids; and lots of cursing and screaming (followed later by heartfelt apologies and “I really didn’t mean those things I said about you,” endearments).

If truth be told, the baby was ugly. It didn’t even look like Ned—the font was wrong, for one thing. But Ned didn’t care; he paraded it around the Internet like an overbearing mom on “Toddlers and Tiaras” and insisted that JOTW would fill a niche that, like a Chilean mine, needed a parallel tunnel dug next to it, then be sealed forever.

Ten years later, JOTW has not only fulfilled its mission, it has thrived. If JOTW could be on a Pee-Wee football team, it would be the overachieving quarterback who reaches puberty before everyone else, scoring seven touchdowns a game, leading the defense in tackles and interceptions and handling kickoff duties. If JOTW were a Boy Scout, it would be the youngest Eagle Scout in history. Twice.

Not that there haven’t been growing pains. There was the One-Paragraph Pitch that ran longer than a Harry Potter book (even the person’s name was long). Recently, controversy raged like a Southern California wildfire about whether whimsical non-communications jobs such as “Sewer Technician–Hastings, Nebraska” should be listed. Then there was the Canadian Border Incident, which resulted in JOTW being banned in Saskatchewan for three months. But I digress.

Over the years, JOTW has linked thousands of communications professionals to thousands of job openings. It offers advice for the lovelorn (K.I.S.S.—Kommunicators In Search of Someone); provides career advice to those who ask (thanks in part to a “Dream Team” of handpicked professionals who, when they’re not actually doing what Ned asked them, operate like a Secret Ops Oprah Book Club); and engages in meaningful philanthropy, such as collecting books for a communications center in Ethiopia. And it has alerted us to the dangers of shipping piracy, reminding us that if we ever decide to quit our communication job and buy an oil tanker, we should exercise caution while navigating the Somali coast.

It speaks volumes that many of the thousands of professionals who subscribe to JOTW aren’t even looking for jobs. They see JOTW as a networking opportunity; a chance to keep their ear to the ground about communication trends; a forum to discuss ideas; a source for advice and feedback. Employers have come to rely on JOTW as a front-line resource to reach thousands of engaged, top-notch communicators who knew what “social networking” was before Mark Zuckerberg got out of diapers.

JOTW serves as an agent of change in an era in which change is a constant. It prepares us for change; nay, it insists that change is not something to be feared, but rather, something that should be wrestled to the ground and forced into submission. Someone—I think it was me—once said, “Life is too short to be stuck in a job you don’t like.” JOTW is a tool that empowers us to take a step back and say “I deserve better.” And we do deserve better (actually, I really like my job, but I’m using “we” in a collective, networking sense).

Ned has put together issues of JOTW from all over the world—Ethiopia; India; Korea; Italy; Sweden; Iraq; even Texas. By listing jobs from all over, Ned has shrunk the world and helped communicators expand their possibilities. Why run a listing for a job in Belgium? Well, why not? Haven’t we all dreamed of moving to Belgium and speaking Phlegmish? Haven’t we dreamed of eating fresh Brussels sprouts, instead of settling for frozen?

For 10 years, JOTW has dared us to challenge ourselves, to think outside the box, to think outside the block, to think outside the confines of our current geography and to consider our role in a global context. Sure, we are just one person out of seven billion, but JOTW reminds us that we are the most important person and that we can make a difference—just as long as we remember to put the “l” in “public.”

*** Tenth anniversary observations:

Ned,

You invited reflections upon the 10th Anniversary or JOTW. I offer the following musings for consideration and/or editing.

In the midst of a crisis communications scenario, I met and became friends with a mutual friend, Jim Mitchell. He told me about Ned and his labor of love called Ned's Job of the Week. I subscribed. That was 2003.

The intervening years led to submissions of job opportunities, dialogue with Ned and an unexpected crossing of paths with my father, a retired Naval officer who presents an annual award to an outstanding Chief Petty Officers in honor of an ancestor. Strange but true. (Ned has covered the ceremony commemorating the George Sirian Award and the related cruise aboard the USS Constitution.)

By far, the most extraordinary evidence of Nedworking through JOTW occurred in July 2008. I'd submitted a job to Ned and he included my name and/or city. A long lost friend with whom I'd worked during my ad agency career saw the posting. She wrote to Ned. Ned wrote to me.

“Could I be the same Heather that Geri had worked with in Princeton, NJ so many years ago???”

Yes. It was true.

I received the news on a vacation in the wilds of Canada but could not wait to find an internet connection to confirm that it was me. During vacation, I eagerly sought opportunities to catch up with Geri.

Fast forward to today: A week is not complete without Geri and I sharing our successes, tribulations, news and updates. Today, Geri enjoys a fabulous career as a media relations and PR pro. I found my niche (so far) in government public affairs and marketing. By learning, sharing and, yes — Nedworking — we become better and more valuable to our clients and/or employers.

Moral? Submit. Contribute. Chime in. Participate in the wonders of Nedworking.

Heather Murphy

(It’s what nedworking is all about.)

*** Holiday blessings:

I appreciate the opportunity for a forum to say thanks – for the fact that I am employed, and for the JOTW lifeline to the job market when I thought I would not be, for finding family that I never knew I had and being able to spend time with them, for having wonderful friends to share my joys and frustrations, for the people who share their musical talents with the world and in doing so bring such happiness to mine.

*** From Carter Langston, ABC, 1stLT, USA:

Hi, Ned. And “hello” to my friends/colleagues from the sun-kissed sands of Afghanistan.

I have a few public affairs jobs to share with the network. Despite the confusing titles on a few of the jobs, these positions are about engaging key leaders and measuring communication effectiveness. If I had the confidence that my wife and family wouldn't kill me for being away for another year, I would try to get one of these jobs myself.

Life in Afghanistan: Steak and Lobster night each week is nice, and the Beck's near beer teases the palate. Late night walks in the cold to the nearest latrine stinks, but the men and women who fight the good fight against terrorism each day deserve every bit of the public affairs support that we're providing.

If the community would be interested, I can provide a link to the “News of the Week from Afghanistan.” Let me know.

The contact for the attached jobs is Steven McDonald

I just wanted to let you all know that there’s a position opening up here at AUVSI for a Communications Manager.
