USS ARIZONA

PHOTO OF ARIZONA AND SLIGHTLY BEHIND THE MISSOURI WHERE THE END OF THE WAR DOCUMENTS WERE SIGNED.

MEMORIAL WALL WHERE MORE THAN 1700 NAMES OF THOSE KILLED ARE LOCATED. ALONG WITH THEIR SHIPMATES WHO HAVE PASSED ON AND HAVE HAD THEIR CREMATED REMAINS INTURNED WITH THEIR FELLOW SAILORS..

FULL VIEW OF THE USS ARIZONA AND THE MEMORIAL

Today is December 7th. At about 8am on December 7th, 1941 the Japanese Navy launched a sneak attack at Pearl Harbor . More than 2400 Americans were killed in that assault, that left the Pacific Fleet in shambles, with only a hand full of vessels afloat. All the Battleships were either Damaged beyond restoration like the USS Arizona which has become the memorial of America’s entry into World War II. Most all aircraft at the Army and Navy fields nearby were destroyed.

In honor of those great Americans we ask everyone to say a silent prayer for those that lost their lives, and those precious World War II veterans living and those that have passed. These are Americas true heroes. For these Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, Army, Cost Guard many of which are in their late 80′s and 90′s literally saved America and the World as we know it today. We all owe them so very much.

During our Friday night broadcast of Griffin’s semifinal round win in the AAAA state football playoffs, we at WKEU AM-FM announced that we would look into the possibility of adding the Lamar County AA championship game to our broadcast scheduled for Saturday, December 14. However, after thinking the matter over, we have come to the conclusion that sometimes it is better to take a financial loss than to potentially jeopardize a longstanding friendship so we will abandon our plans to cover the AA final from the Georgia Dome.

WKEU AM-FM was granted broadcast permission by the official voice of Lamar County football, WBAF in Barnesville, to carry the game, but in the light of the fact that the station is owned by longtime friend Paul Pleoner we could not in good conscience broadcast the game knowing it could take away so much as a single listener from WBAF.

We regret any inconvenience our premature announcement may have caused and we sincerely hope you will join us on WKEU AM-FM, www.wkeuradio.com, or on your smart phone devices for every play of the AAAA state final this Saturday when the Bears tangle with Carrollton. The game, from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, is scheduled to begin at 5:30. Our broadcast, commencing with the Griffin Bears’ Tailgate Show, will be on the air to paint the scene for the contest beginning at 3:30.

Tickets for the State Championship Game for Griffin vs Carrollton will go on sale Tuesday in the main lobby of Griffin High School from 9:00am till 3:30pm. If you purchase tickets at the school they are $18.00 each,  you can also purchase tickets at the gate and are $20.00, or online from ticket master for $25.00 each.
WKEU encourages Bear Nation if you plan on purchasing tickets at the school to do so as soon as possible due to Griffin having an allotment of 4,000 tickets. The allotment is in one section of the dome. Lets show our support of the BEARS and sell out our allotment.

We will start the BEARS Tailgate show at 3:30pm with kickoff scheduled for 5:30pm. WKEU will broadcast the game on AM 1450, 88.9 FM “The Rock”, on our live stream at www.wkeuradio.com , and on our free app for all smart phones. To download our app just go to your app store and search WKEU Radio.

GO BEARS!

City Solid Waste Department Schedules Canned Food Drive

Dec. 3- The City of Griffin Solid Waste Division will be collecting canned food to donate to the Salvation Army during the week of Dec. 16-19. Residents across the city can donate by placing their non-perishable canned food items in a bag. That bag should then be placed on top of their RECYCLING BIN.

“I’m very appreciative of those people who have donated in the past and want to thank them for helping our community with their contributions,” said Central Services Director Phil Francis.

Donated items, along with recycling and refuse, will be collected on regularly scheduled pick-up days during the week of Dec. 16.

The City of Griffin Board of Commissioners held their regular schedule meeting Tuesday night.

The board recognized Commissioner Shaheer Beyah for his service to the City of Griffin from 2010 through 2013. Chairperson Joanne Todd presented Commissioner Beyah with a plaque for his service not only to the City of Griffin but to his district as well. Commissioner Beyah stated ”he had enjoyed working with this Board of Commissioners and I will be back”.

The commissioners recognized Chuck Smith, Supervisor in the Street Department, as the October 2013 “Strongest Link” award recipient. He was nominated after the city received a letter from Cindy Duncan. The letter read, “I just wanted to let you know that I received a call a little while ago from Chuck Smith, one of your employees with the Street Department. He was calling me to inform me that one of his workers found about 13 pages of my Mom’s personal medical information next to a Liberty transport van somewhere there in Griffin. It appears the transport people must have dropped the information as they have transported her from Brightmoor nursing facility to the Orthopedic doctor there near the hospital.This information is obviously VERY highly sensitive as it contained complete medical instructions for my Mom as well as social security information and contact information for both me and my brother, as well. I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate Mr. Smith going to the effort to contact me to let me know he found this information. Not only that, but he personally offered to take the information to Brightmoor for me.His actions are above and beyond what anybody should expect of an employee and I do hope you recognize him for this situation. It could have caused a huge problem for my family if it had gotten into the wrong hands.Thank you so much, Cindy Duncan

The “Strongest Link” Award is given monthly to a deserving employee who has demonstrated excellent performance and productivity, loyalty, professional pride and other noteworthy accomplishments. The recognized employee receives one day off with pay, a gift certificate from a local restaurant, a “Strongest Link” plaque and the symbolic “chain” they will be the custodian of until a subsequent employee is recognized.

The Commissioners approved: to amend the City of Griffin’s Fiscal Year 2013-2014 Operating and Capital Budget to transfer one Yard Waste position to Residential Collection and eliminate three remaining Yard Waste positions.

GRIFFIN BEARS                          56

GRIFFIN BEARS STATE CHAMPIONS

Following what has been a hugely successful year in region play. The Griffin Bears took their undefeated record into the final game of State Championship play off action at the Georgia Dome on Saturday December 14 th, 2013. The Bears took the field at 6 pm, and took on the Carrollton Trojans. The Trojans struck early with two touchdowns. The Bears battled back to take control of the game, and never looked back. The Griffin Bears were victorious by a final score 56 to 35. This Bears team has become now a legend in sports history. Coach Steve DeVoursney had instilled in his team the integrity, pride, and price of hard work and  what it takes to be Champions. This team will forever be remembered as a class group of Great athletes that realized what it is to have bonded friends from this Championship. They will all be forever brothers, and honorable men that others will aspire to be. The Rock 88.9 FM and WKEU AM 1450 Broadcast crew and all our staff has considered it an honor to have broadcast each game this season.

We all join to wish each team member the very best in years to come but your dedication, support of fellow players, and your dignity and honor will be a beacon for others to follow. To Coach Steve DeVoursney we say thank you Griffin and Spalding County are indeed better because of your work with the School System, and our children as you have given them the direction for success in the future.

When the Bears loaded up to travel to the Georgia Dome, Coach DeVoursney had his team stop at the First Assembly Church and pray for their fellow man and team members for their safety and a good game without injuries. This speaks volumes of a dedicated Coach, and what he means to our community and children. The first out right State Champion ship since 1942 is now history for Griffin and Spalding County. We can all take a lesson from this great team that NEVER gave up when the chips were down, but fought every second in every game. This is what has made them State Champions. Thank you Griffin Bears for a life time of memories, and the great reputation you have given this community. When you stop and consider the future of America with young men like this great Griffin team coming on line lead by Coach Steve DeVoursney and his staff the future of America will be in very capable hands.

We were able to get some pictures from behind the scene of the 2013 State Champs The Bears before and after the game. WKEU would like to thank Coach Steve DeVoursney for allowing us to be in the back ground to capture time that will live on forever with these pictures.
