An Easter Sunday Message, A Third Chance at Life and the Fate of a Winder Landmark

Here are the top five articles from the week that we think you should read, if you haven't already.


  • A local pastor shares an Easter message.

  • April is National Donate Life Month. Winder resident Nicole Conwell talks about a second liver transplant that saved her life.

  • The city, the downtown development authority and residents all have different ideas on what use the Old Granite Hotel can provide to Winder — if any.

  • Accused cop killer Jamie Hood is in solitary confinement at the Barrow County Detention Center. With that fact in mind, authorities don't believe Hood, who is charged with killing an Athens-Clarke County police officer, is responsible for a message posted to his personal Facebook page last week.

  • Terry Raber, who has served as Carl's town marshal since 2004, was sworn in by Mayor Dave Brock at the town council meeting April 21.
