School Nutrition Director Tracey Morris decided about four months ago to officially hang up her apron April 30 after 26 years with the school system and 38 years in education overall. “I have debated for some time, but I turned my letter of resigna- tion in after Christmas break,” Morris, 60, said. “I have loved being a part of the Cartersville City family and mostly the school nutrition team, but after 38 years in education, you just know when it is time to say ‘See you all later.’” Superintendent Dr. Howard Hi- nesley, who also is retiring this year, said Morris did “an excellent job building and maintaining a strong program.” “During her years directing our food service program, she always made sure the cafeterias had a pleasing appearance; the program returned a profit; and our students and staff received nutritious meals,” he said. Morris’ co-workers honored her and wished her well at a reception Thursday afternoon at the central office, where she received a cash gift from the system.

Cam & Carolina Crash Back to Earth Follow Carlos Medina on Twitter @frontofficelos THE 2017 OFFSEASON Here is Where Championships are Built The Chance to Change Your Franchise Welcome to the 2017 NFL Offseason. This is the point where every NFL team has the chance to significantly alter their upcoming season with shrewd moves in both free agency and the draft. Consider what some of the best team in 2016 were able to accomplish during this point in the season last year: The Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots traded a fourth round pick to the Chicago Bears in exchange for tight end Martellus Bennett and a sixth round draft choice. Bennett would serve as the important #2 tight end in New England and the eventual starter with the injury to Rob Gronkowski. The Atlanta Falcons signed Cleveland Browns center Alex Mack to a contract that made him one of the highest paid centers in the NFL. Mack rewarded the Falcons with an All-Pro season in which he was the perfect piece in creating a solid offensive line. The team also added receiver Mohamed Sanu from Cincinnati who ended up catching 59 passes and four touchdowns. The Oakland Raiders gave a one year deal to receiver Michael Crabtree as he attempted to return from injury.

Being able to vote and have that vote counted are essential to maintaining and preserving our democracy. Voting stands as one of the most important rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizens. The news of recent changes to the U.S. Postal Service’s delivery process, coupled with the Administration’s decision to withhold funding, is alarming and should be of grave concern to us all, particularly with the General Election only months away. While the Postmaster General’s actions to reverse these policies earlier this week were a positive step, we must be vigilant and relentless when it comes to a fair election, especially during these challenging times. The spread of the Coronavirus has already created challenges and uncertainty around our local, state and national electoral processes. We cannot afford further disruption. At our Annual Meeting in June, the U.S. Conference of Mayors passed two critical resolutions supporting safe and accessible elections and voting by mail.

  • Juwann Winfree's Personal Evolution Leads to Broncos Opportunity. by Kyle Fredrickson Denver Post June 17, 2019
    “He was going to rise.” Juwann Winfree's personal evolution leads to Broncos opportunity. By Kyle Fredrickson Denver Post June 17, 2019 Former CU wide receiver took long road to become Denver sixth-round NFL draft pick. Think Juwann Winfree can fly on the football field? You should have seen him on a skateboard. Picture this: A middle school adrenaline junkie rolling down blacktop near the Hudson River in eastern New Jersey. Find a trick, practice like crazy and land it. He’d glide through the air on six-, seven- and eight- stair drops. Fearless. “It was a hobby that I grew to really love,” Winfree said. “I can still kick-flip.” These days, Winfree walks through the Broncos’ training facility with a similar skate swagger. He still craves the thrill but finds it elsewhere. The rookie receiver, a sixth-round pick out of CU, evades defensive backs with kick-flip footwork and sails through the sky to grab deep passes from quarterback Joe Flacco. The rush of a lifetime. Winfree has always sought speed, and sometimes, to a fault. It nearly derailed this dream. “The way this whole process happened to me was so crazy,” Winfree said. “God was truly on my side.” Winfree dropped skateboarding in seventh grade after a football coach’s ultimatum but rediscovered adrenaline in all the wrong places. He chose Maryland among 26 Division-I scholarship offers out of Dwight Morrow High School, and about 16 months after signing day, the program suspended Winfree indefinitely as a result of failed drug tests and check fraud.
