LOCAL HISTORY
Continuing with this issue, past newspaper front pages will highlight local news and history from Winder and Barrow County. This front page is from
the Dec. 21,1966 issue of The Winder News.
Christmas continued from 1A
out and show Him I can be responsible with my for
tune. I was born in Winder and this is my hometown.
I just want to give back to those who are in need. No
one should have to go hungry on Christmas and no
child should have to go without a gift so I wanted to
do something to reach out to those people who need a
helping hand.”
Many of the gifts were donated in honor of veteran
Bill Gordon, who was killed in a motorcycle wreck in
Winder in July.
"He was a great man with a huge heart who got me
into sponsoring all the (local) AMVET and Military
Riders of Georgia charity events to provide for veterans
and their families,” Whelchel said.
Whelchel has requested that anyone interested in
attending the dinner contact him at 470-422-9608 so he
can get a proper head count.
He also has asked for anyone planning to bring chil
dren to notify him of how many and their ages so he can
have enough gifts on hand.
Whelchel, who opened the tattoo shop in September
2012, said he has worked to reverse a common stigma
associated with the business.
“I worked hard to make it a family-friendly environ
ment,” he said.
“You’re not going to find any drugs or alcohol there.
We have a kids play station there and center it around
families. A lot of times a person or a couple may want
a tattoo and they don’t have anything to do there with
their kids.
“But that’s what we are about here.”
Above all, Whelchel hopes the dinner will not only
serve as a way to feed the less fortunate, but also per
haps the first step toward healing some people or help
ing them overcome their own struggles.
“I’ve had a wonderful journey,” he said. “I’ve had
my fair share of stumbles, but life is wonderful. My
recovery came through a lot of listening, guidance and
prayer.
“It’s His perfect, unconditional love that got me
through. I want to share that message and my story with
everyone who comes (Sunday).
“The best way to keep my serenity and put my faith
into action is to share it with others.”
Braselton continued from 1A
friend with a gun, so he defended him, according to
the incident report.
Digiacomo left the scene shortly after the inci
dent and told officers he was not coming back to
the bar to speak with them.
He also wouldn’t tell them where he was.
A tipster at the bar led officers to Digiacomo,
who was at a friend’s house at Chateau Elan.
He’s currently booked in the Barrow County
Jail.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has ruled
the incident a homicide.
It’s unclear if Ali hit his head when he fell and
the autopsy hasn’t yet been completed.
The case has also been sent to the District Attor
ney’s Office.
This is the second murder in Braselton in the past
few months, an oddity for the town which previous
ly hadn’t had a murder since 2011.
