After spending 31 years as a Lincolnton firefighter, John âJohnny Bâ Barkley now brings the beach to listeners of Gaston Collegeâs WSGE 91.7 FM and Riptide Radio out of Myrtle Beach through the Internet. He really had no desire to become a DJ, but when the DJ who was doing the beach show for WLON left, Barkley was asked to fill in.
âAs a kid, I kind of caught myself playing the radio and Iâd take my cassette recorder and right when I knew the DJ was coming in, Iâd turn it down and Iâd be the DJ,â he said. âI think the first show I did was in 1980 and we developed an audience. Back then we didnât have computers, so everything was live on the air and we used telephones for communication.â
How should we train our youth
Dan Bowser
Several years ago, I remember a lady running for mayor of Gastonia had on her platform a program to have junior police and firefighters in school programs to encourage our youth to develop positive relationships and have a desire to become and befriend these public servants. Her platform encouraged me to help support this issue.
Unfortunately, in today’s world many students are taught they are a victim or they are favored. This type teaching is taught in some schools. They may get this message at home, in the news or from their peers. This is the wrong message to send to our children as it will only grow more racism in Gastonia and our nation.
