Sometimes you get lucky.

I’ve used those four words numerous times in describing this paper’s working relationship with our photographer Jessica Brown.

Are you one of those who has been experiencing sleepless nights? Cold sweats? An unusual appetite? Your mind drifting from normal-day activities?

The David Wagner era at Winder-Barrow High School has begun and early signs point toward what can be a successful venture for the man who was a key part of the success enjoyed across town.
