Braselton to mark 100th anniversary

BY CAMIE YOUNG Staff Correspondent

A boy’s dream to start a grocery store more than 100 years ago is just the beginning of the history of one of the most sought-after cities in Georgia.

So the new Town Green next to Braselton Brothers Store is the logical and sentimental choice to celebrate Braselton’s 100th birthday this weekend. The celebration is schedule for 2 to 10 p.m. Saturday with food trucks, activities, music and fireworks.

“The Braselton Brothers Store is central to our identity,” said Bill Orr, Braselton’s mayor. He is only the second mayor to serve the 100-year-old city who was not named Braselton, so he knows how

Inmates, canines prepare each other for second chances

erika.wells@gwinnettdailypost.com

A former Gwinnett County jail inmate did not think he would step foot back into a detention center after he regained his freedom about three months ago.

But Simon Fine, 26, of Snellville again found himself among inmates inside the walls of the Lawrenceville facility Monday.

This time, Fine made history.

Fine became the first former inmate to reach current inmates through the jail’s closed circuit TV system, said Shannon Volkodav, a sheriff’s office spokeswoman.

He returned to share his experience with Operation Second Chance, also known as the Jail Dogs program. The program allows men behind bars to prepare rescue animals for adoption.

Gwinnett’s Fortune 500 CEOs share stories behind success

BY ERIKA WELLS

erika.wells @gwinnettdailypost.com

The CEOs of three Fortune 500 companies in Gwinnett shared how they became and remain successful — with hard work, passion and a sense of humor.

11Alive TV anchor Shiba Russell led the Gwinnett Chamber’s panel discussion with Asbury Automotive Group President and CEO Craig Monaghan, AGCO President and CEO Martin Richenhagen and WestRock CEO Steve Voorhees. The event took place at the Infinite Energy Forum in Duluth.

“All of you have a great sense of humor,” Russell said. “You have to have a great sense of humor and be able to smile and work through things — don’t take yourself too seriously, which is easier said than done.”

The executives said they have been able to grow their companies as times have

changed, but not without a few challenges along the way.

Monaghan led Asbury, one of the largest automotive retailers in the U.S., in 2015, but was unemployed for a year after leaving his position as CFO of Sears Holdings Corp.

“I kept going,” he said. “I stayed motivated because I had a family to feed. I was too young and had too much energy.”

The Lehigh University graduate had previously served in the U.S. Army and

earned an MBA from the Wharton School of Business of the University of Pennsylvania. He has served at the top of companies including AutoNation and iVillage.com.

The businessmen said staying on top involves long hours and team effort, but also believing in delegation.

Voorhees leads WestRock, the paper and packing company in Norcross that he said has tens of thousands of employees.

“I have a strong responsibility for those people to be

successful,” he said. “They need support.”

Before a major merge, Voorhees was CEO of RockTenn, where he served in several leadership roles.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in economics and mathematics from Northwestern University and a master of business administration from the University of Virginia Darden School of Business.

Voorhees said when he was young, his father taught him a lesson about being employed. He had grown tired of his first job, which was on a newspaper route, and told his dad he would quit.

“My dad got so annoyed with me,” Voorhees said.

“He said do not even think about quitting a job because a job is so valuable.”

Each leader said they use social media professionally rather than in their personal lives. They have teams that manage the accounts, which keep them informed about what is going on across the

world.

In 2004, Richenhagen became president and CEO and chairman for AGCO, a Duluth-based company that designs, manufactures and distribute agricultural equipment.

He said social media helps his company solve issues such as customers problems, but he prefers to talk directly to people — including his family.

“When you go out to eat, you’ll see four people are sitting at a table. Everybody is working with their smartphone and not talking.

When I have dinner with my family, it’s illegal for anyone to be online or on their cellphone,” Richenhagen said as the audience laughed.

He said social media also allows companies to stay transparent.

In the past, Richenhagen has served in various positions for companies including Forbo International SA in Switzerland and CLAAS KGaA mbH in Germany.

He said he is inspired by

professionals like Robert Spano, music director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Richenhagen said Spano allows different people to work together to create music.

“He leads a world-leading orchestra,” Richenhagen said. “He does it in harmony, which is also required in business.”

Richenhagen graduated from the University of Bonn in Germany. In 2008, Richenhagen was named honorary professor to the faculty of agricultural machinery at the TU Dresden, Dresden University of Technology in Germany.

He encouraged attendees to never give up, but to continue learning everyday.

“Learn new things, meet new people, go to new countries,” Richenhagen said.

“Don’t just say I graduated from business school, now I’m done. Be prepared for the rest of your life.”

The execs said their companies are hiring mostly for specialty-skill positions.

County commissioners agreed to accepted a $2 million Georgia Transportation Infrastructure Bank grant from the State Road and Tollway Authority on Tuesday to help pay for some of the project’s right of way acquisition.

“This state grant provides matching funds for the federal dollars that are already in place for the right-of-way acquisitions at (state Route) 324 interchange on I-85,” Gwinnett Transportation Director Alan Chapman told commissioners on Tuesday.

Although officials are preparing to move forward with right-of-way acquisition, construction of the $19.5 million interchange is still about two years away.

It will give drivers who live between the Buford Drive and Hamilton Mill Road exits another option to get on and off the interstate.

LOCAL BRIEFS Police make second arrest in fatal hit-and-run Gwinnett police on Wednesday released the name of the victim in a deadly Aug. 7 hit-andrun, which may have been caused by two men driving illegally in Norcross.

Richard Grant, of Norcross, was arrested Friday after police learned another driver was involved in the late night wreck that killed Floridalma GodinezChavez, 47, of Norcross, police said.

Police responded to a call and found the woman dead on South Norcross Tucker Road in unincorporated Gwinnett at about 9:30 p.m.

Grant reportedly ran over Godinez-Chavez while testdriving a GMC truck after she had been hit by Carlos Hernandez-Tecata, 44, of Lilburn. Hernandez-Tecata was arrested later that night after he allegedly struck her with his truck while she was trying to cross the road.

Grant was charged with homicide, felony hit and run and driving on a suspended license. He had an outstanding warrant unrelated to this incident.

Hernandez-Tecata faces charges of vehicular homicide, hit and run and driving without a license.

Police did not explain how they concluded that Hernandez-Tecata was the first driver or how the men were located.

Enrollment in Cops: Two black Gwinnett schools males rob Marriott closer to forecast Gwinnett police are lookAs expected, Gwinnett County Public Schools enrollment grew this week as the district grows closer to its forecast.

It was the second of five enrollment counts that the district uses up to what it considers its most accurate on the day after Labor Day. This week’s number was 175,918, which is 4,811 students more than were counted in the first count on the second day of school, district spokeswoman Sloan Roach said.

Harrell receives ACCG Legislative Service Award State Rep. Brett Harrell was honored during the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners meeting earlier this week for this work to defeat proposed increases for truck weight limits on Georgia roads.

Harrell, R-Snellville, received the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia Legislative Service Award from ACCG Associate Legislative Director Todd Edwards and Gwinnett commission chairwoman Charlotte Nash.

“This past year, Rep. Brett Harrell stood strong as opposition to House Bill 411,” Edwards said during the presentation. “House Bill 411 had many reiterations … but at the end of the day, what it would have done is increase the truck weight limits on our roads from 80,000 pounds to 84,000 pounds with a 4 or 5 percent variance so it would have been raised essentially to 88,000 pounds.”

Harrell serves on the House Transportation Committee where he voiced his opposition to the truck weight increase. Edwards explained that higher

Fine participated from September 2010 to July 2012.

On Monday, he shook off nervousness to stand at a podium in front of more than a dozen inmates in a room at the jail. Fine spoke live on camera.

“This program changed my life,” he said. “It gave me the opportunity to take a moment and get out of head and heal; to focus on other things.”

Fine had served time at the jail before being transferred to prison after he reportedly caused an accident while drunk driving. Afterward, one of the victims died, he said.

Fine said he eventually apologized to the victim’s family, but his mistake consumed his thoughts while he was locked up.

He got depressed and reached the lowest point in his life before signing up for the Jail Dogs program. It boosted his spirits while he took time to forgive himself, and his canine companion stuck with him 24/7.

“The dogs had been ravaged and without any type of love,” Fine said. “But they still show you love.”

He encouraged inmates to look at life from a different perspective and adjust their mindset.

“This life is not for you,” Fine said. “Let this be your last time in jail; your last time talking to someone through Plexiglass. Today is the day to change and better yourself.”

The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office and the Society of Humane Friends of Georgia started the program in 2010. Since then, more than 200 dogs have been rescued, trained and taken in by new families.

Female inmates began to work with cats in a separate housing unit in 2013.

The sheriff’s staff screens and chooses which inmates participate and connects potential adopters with the dogs.

The Society of Humane Friends of Georgia provides financial support for the program, vets adopters and assists in training efforts.

The volunteer-driven program is funded through donations — not tax dollars, Volkodav said.

She said the inmates train the canines, but the animals teach their handlers so much more.

“They learn accountability and positive reinforcement,” Volkodav said. “They learn how to react to bad behavior in a positive way.”

Adam Walden, 30, said he when got Sheeba, an approximately 3-year-old American Bulldog, he could smell her from across the room.

Walden said she had mange after being confined to a cage for an extended period of time, and nobody wanted her.

But Walden somehow connected with her. He has served about six months, but Sheeba has stayed by his side for the last five.

“She helped bring back morals and values in my heart that had been gone for a long time,” he said before holding up a treat so Sheeba would show off her skills.

Fine said he would not be the person he is today if the program was not available.

He said it gives the inmates purpose while serving time.

“You all have value,” he said. “You are important to somebody. You can’t change the fact that you’re here.

While you’re here, make things count.”

Excited about the future, Fine was set to travel to Arizona to spend time with his mother. He said when he was incarcerated, he promised to visit her after he got out.

Fine intended to keep that promise — just like he hopes to keep the promise he made to himself to continue to inspire others with his story.

Braselton

•From Page 1A important that storefront, which now houses other businesses, is to the city.

“It represents the historical backbone of our community of the past, present and future.”

Once a farm between Gainesville and Athens, the land was settled by William Harrison Braselton and his wife Susan Hosch. In 1887, their youngest son John Oliver Braselton wanted to open a country store at the age of 8.

His first storefront was lost to a horse and buggy accident, but later his brothers Green and William Henry joined the business, and the trio erected a brick building in 1904 in the cur-

rent location that became a central hub of activity for north Georgia area.

Orr remembers stopping at the store while he drove from his family’s home in Oakwood to the University of Georgia when he was a student.

“I was aware of the store and interested in the history but I failed to stop except for sustenance while attending UGA. It was small town to me between Winder and Oakwood. Little did I know that it would one day be my home,” he said.

The Braselton brothers not only brought commerce to the city, but they also created an electric utility, a mill and other amenities, such as allowing the store to house the Chamber of

The town was officially incorporated in 1916, and it remained a thriving small town for much of its history.

This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 4.93 mills, an increase of .243 mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 4.687 mills.

The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $260,000 is approximately $25.27 and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with a fair market value of $550,000 approximately $53.46.

“Citizens agree that the understanding and the harmony which have marked the triple management of the business through the years have, through the kindly neighborness (sic) of the brothers, been extended to the entire community,” the Jackson Herald wrote in a 1951 edition. “Probably no village in Georgia could more truly be described as ‘one big happy family.’”

Braselton is still a small town, but it has experienced tremendous growth in recent decades.

The city gained a certain amount of notoriety in 1989 when a group of investors — including Academy Award-winning actress Kim Basinger — bought much of the acreage from the Braselton Brothers hoping to

turn it into a tourist destination. While that venture failed, Braselton is home to one of Georgia’s most well-known resorts, Chateau Elan, which features a winery, championship golf courses, a health spa, a luxury hotel and event space, not to mention a neighborhood with milliondollar homes.

It is also home to Road Atlanta, a racing venue that brings Petit Le Mans and other events to the area.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Braselton’s population doubled from 1990, when it had 418 residents, to 2000, when 1,206 called it home. In the next decade, the town at the juncture of Barrow, Gwinnett, Hall and Jackson counties became even

more of a destination. By 2010, the population had quintupled to 7,511. Nearly 10,000 residents live there today, based on a 2015 estimate.

As a sign of the growth, Northeast Georgia Medical Center opened a hospital in the city last year.

“We are in the midst of unprecedented growth,” Orr said. “We have a historic opportunity to shape our town amidst this growth driven by our communities inviting citizens.”

The Braselton town council has worked to make sure that its history is preserved amidst the rise of subdivisions and shopping centers.

The Braselton Brothers location along Ga. Highway 53 remains a center of city life, including the location of the annual Christmas tree lighting and Independence Day parade. The new Town Green promises it will remain a special landmark for future generations.

“We have a challenge to manage the growth so that we preserve our history as a great place to live, work and play,” Orr said, adding that the town council’s efforts to revitalize the downtown area has re-energized businesses. “There is a lot of opportunity in Braselton.”

Shingles likely not cause of lasting pain

Dear Dr. roaCh: In April 2014 I had an outbreak of shingles — right hip, leg and foot. I got the shingles vaccine in 2010, but apparently it did not work. My doctor prescribed Neurontin. The following month, I was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma, and for the next year, I received six rounds of chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and rituximab) followed by 20 radiation treatments. The treatments were successful, and the cancer is in remission.

While that is a true blessing, I am now suffering from constant pain in my right foot and have been for over two years. I have done everything I can think of to get relief. I have had X-rays, an ultrasound and a nerve conduction study; I have been examined by a neurologist, a podiatrist, a spine specialist, a chiropractor and an acupuncturist; I have taken Lyrica, used topical creams, received laser therapy and spinal injections, and used a TENS unit. Nothing has helped. I take 10 mg of Percocet three times a day, which does give me some measure of relief but the pain never goes away completely. There are days, even with the Percocet, where the pain can be debilitating. The neurologist told me that in his opinion, I do not have “typical” neuropathy; he believes I suffer from chemotherapyinduced nerve damage and that most likely the condition is irreversible. I hate to think I have to live with this condition for the rest of my life. Do you have any suggestions or an opinion that might lead me to finding a solution to this condition?

— I.P. ansWer: The constant pain in the foot could very well be a neuropathy: I think it is the most likely explanation based on what you’ve told me. I also think your neurologist is correct that it is likely to be related to the chemotherapy, especially the vincristine, which is well-known for causing permanent neuropathy in a proportion of those who use it. I suspect that without the chemotherapy, your post-herpetic neuralgia (the term for neuropathic pain following shingles) would likely have gone away.

However, the damage caused by the Zoster virus increased the likelihood of damage due to the chemotherapy. At least, that’s my opinion about how you may have acquired this pain syndrome.

Your neurologist has tried many of the common therapies for neuropathy, but there are some people in whom nothing works. I don’t have an answer for your continued pain. My experience is that the doses of gabapentin (Neurontin) needed sometimes are much higher than most doctors are comfortable giving. In the study that got gabapentin approved for post-herpetic neuralgia, the most effective dose was 1,200 mg three times daily.

Unfortunately, this dose has significant side effects, and it may take months of slowly increasing the dose to get there.

Retiring couple makes touchy choice Dear amy: My husband and I are retired in our mid-60s, in relatively good health and financially independent.

Our two adult children, who are in their early 40s, live in neighboring Midwestern states. Both hold professional jobs.

Our son, “Chad” is married, a doctor with young children, and doing quite well.

Our daughter, “Carol,” is single and a well-paid university administrator.

Carol is unhappy with her job, and has been actively looking to move to the West Coast.

We’re planning to move near Chad within the next two years.

Carol has said that she wants us to live with or near her when we get older. She’s always been closest to me, has struggled with low selfesteem and anxiety and is somewhat of a hypochondriac, which I think can partially be attributed to stress and depression.

I believe her worries about not having a boyfriend or husband are causing her to project her insecurities onto us.

I would always be available to help her out, whether she’s single or married, or has kids of her own, but in my “golden years,” quite frankly, given a choice, I’d rather live by our son, who is more emotionally stable.

He’s also our legal representative, and we want to enjoy being around our

Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson grandchildren.

I’m afraid about hurting Carol’s feelings, but I feel we need to let her know our plans about moving to be near her brother. My husband and I had recent health scares, which is creating more of a sense of urgency.

Our kids are not especially close, so I doubt they’ve discussed this with each other.

Should we talk to them together, or separately?

What would be the best way to tell Carol that we love her, but given her uncertain situation, we plan to live by her brother?

— Making Choices Dear ChoiCes: “We love you, but given your uncertain situation, we plan to live by your brother,” puts your choice squarely in “Carol’s” corner — as if your choice of where to live is somehow her fault or responsibility.

The decision of where to live in your elder years is up to you. It is completely your responsibility. If your decision causes your daughter

to feel ignored or neglected by you, please remember that your job is not to take care of your capable and successful daughter for the rest of your lives. It is natural to worry about hurting her feelings, but you are not responsible for managing her feelings — she is.

Make your plans like the capable adults you are. Let your daughter know in person or by phone. Present your plan in a positive, no-nonsense way. Don’t fill in any details about why she is an inadequate caretaker, but say to her, “This is the best option for us, and of course we’ll continue to visit you and welcome visits from you as long as possible.” If she wants or needs to be near you, perhaps she would consider relocating, too.

Dear amy: I am a 19-year-old woman. I left home a year ago to live with other relatives, because I have a secret.

The secret is that I am bisexual.

I wanted to tell my parents, but they found out that my cousin is gay and started to make derogatory remarks about him.

My family is my life, but I know that if I told them about me, our relationship would be over.

What should I do?

— Hopelessly Lost Dear Lost: You see your sexuality as a “secret,” while I see your sexuality as “your business.”

Have your folks discussed their sexuality with you recently? Or ever? If not, then you should not feel compelled to discuss yours with them until you feel ready.

Being in a serious relationship might compel you to come out to them.

You will be ready to disclose this when you finally feel confident that you either don’t care about your folks’ reaction, or you are able to state, “I’m not ashamed and I won’t apologize for being who I am. I hope you’ll be supportive.”

If/when this happens, your parents might surprise you.

Dear amy: I’d like to thank you for a small moment in your response to “Concerned Sister,” who was worried about her sister being dominated by future in-laws.

You objected to the term “man-up” when referring to the man’s need to be less passive.

— A Fan Dear Fan: I also loathe the currently popular phrase, “pull up your big girl panties.”

world Kocijancic to take on vacant EOC presidency RIO DE JANEIRO — Slovenian Janez Kocijancic will take over the presidency of the European Olympic Committee (EOC) after Patrick Hickey stepped down following his arrest earlier on Wednesday, the EOC said.

“According to EOC statutes, EOC Vice President Janez Kocijancic will assume the role of acting EOC President effective immediately,” it said in a statement.

Hickey was arrested during an early morning raid in a beachfront hotel in Rio de Janeiro in connection with an investigation into illegal resale of tickets at the Olympics.

Turkey to release 38,000 prisoners for penal reform ISTANBUL — Turkey began freeing 38,000 prisoners on Wednesday, after announcing a penal reform that will make space for tens of thousands of suspects rounded up over last month’s attempted coup.

The reform was one of a series of measures outlined on Wednesday in two decrees under a state of emergency declared after the July 15 failed putsch during which 240 people were killed.

The government gave no reason for measure, but its prisons were already straining capacity before the mass arrests that followed the coup.

Western allies worry President Tayyip Erdogan, already accused by opponents of creeping authoritarianism, is using the crackdown to target dissent, testing relations with a key NATO partner in the war on Islamic State.

Angrily dismissing those concerns, Turkish officials say they are rooting out a serious internal threat from followers of a U.S.-based cleric.

North Korean ambassador defects to South SEOUL — North Korea’s deputy ambassador in London has defected with his family to South Korea, making him the highestranking Pyongyang diplomat ever to flee the isolated regime for the democratic South, South Korea said on Wednesday.

The Unification Ministry in Seoul declined to say when or how Thae and his family arrived, nor how many relatives accompanied him.

Thae defected due to discontent with the regime of Kim Jong Un in North Korea and for the future of his child, ministry spokesman Jeong Joon-hee told a news conference. It was not clear in Korean whether Jeong was referring to more than one child.

The announcement came a day after media report that a high-profile North Korean diplomat, later identified by the BBC as Thae, had defected.

world&nation Trump shakes up campaign team

By Steve Holland and Emily Flitter Reuters

Republican candidate Donald Trump overhauled his struggling presidential campaign on Wednesday, hiring the head of a conservative news website to bolster his combative image but raising doubts about whether he can boost slipping opinion poll numbers.

Trump announced he had named Steve Bannon, head of the news website Breitbart News, as campaign chief executive officer, a new position. He also promoted senior adviser Kellyanne Conway to the position of campaign manager. She is expected to travel with Trump and advise him on the road.

The shake-up combines Bannon, a conservative flamethrower, with Conway, a measured, datadriven analyst who has the ability to broaden Trump’s appeal to women and independent voters.

It offers Trump’s team a chance to let him return to the “let Trump be Trump” style practiced by former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski in defeating 16 rivals for the Republican presidential nomination for the Nov. 8 election.

Lewandowski, ousted in June, said on CNN

Steve Bannon, head of the news website Breitbart News, was named to the new position of campaign chief executive officer. Bannon, a conservative flamethrower, was referred to by ousted Corey Lewandowski as “a street fighter” like himself. The campaign statement announcing the changes touted a Bloomberg Politics article that branded Bannon “the most dangerous political operative in America.” (Special Photo: Carlo Allegri)

that Bannon was “a street fighter” like himself.

The campaign statement announcing the changes touted a Bloomberg Politics article that branded Bannon “the most dangerous political operative in America.”

Whether this style will work in a general election campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton is unclear, coming at a time when he largely has been unable to extend his reach beyond white middle-class voters who pack his rallies

by the thousands.

The appointments amounted to a demotion for Paul Manafort, who was brought on as campaign manager this year to professionalize Trump’s campaign but has struggled to get the New York businessman to rein in his freewheeling ways.

Trump finds himself behind Clinton in national polls and in many battleground states, potentially facing a big defeat that could also cost Republicans congressional races.

Conway and Bannon may prove to be opposing forces in Trump’s campaign. Conway is analytical and numbers-driven and often offers a more pragmatic approach to winning campaigns. Bannon likes to push the limits of polite conversation and revels in taking the fight up a notch, strategists say.

“For Steve and I, we also recognize that we are different when we say we have different styles, but we have one vision,” Conway told reporters.

people Rowling returns to Potter’s world with new ebooks British author J.K. Rowling is delving back into the world of “Harry Potter” for a series of short ebooks with new stories about some of her characters from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Pottermore, the digital publishing and e-commerce world founded by Rowling for fans of the boy wizard, said on Wednesday it would be releasing three short ebooks starting Sept. 6.

Called “Pottermore Presents,” the series is a collection of Rowling’s writing for Pottermore.com, as well as new stories about characters including Potter’s potions master Horace Slughorn, Hogwarts headmistress Professor Minerva McGonagall and Ministry of Magic bureaucrat Dolores Umbridge.

Hiller, acclaimed ‘Love Story’ film director, dies at 92 LOS ANGELES — Canadian-born director Arthur Hiller, who spent more than a decade mostly working in television before a career in feature helming that included “Love Story,” “The Americanization of Emily” and comedy “Silver Streak,” died Wednesday. He was 92.

“Love Story,” based on the bestseller by Erich Segal, was an enormous box office hit in 1970 and was nominated for seven Oscars, including best picture. Though many critics dismissed the movie as too sentimental, it is No. 9 on the AFI’s list of the most romantic films of all time.

Hiller served as president of the Directors Guild of America from 1989-93 and of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences from 1993-97. He received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 2002 Academy Awards ceremony.

The film also stars Cecily Strong, Beanie Feldstein, NBA player Blake Griffin, Xosha Roquemore, Chris D’Elia and Deon Cole and Cummings.

“The Female Brain” follows five couples struggling through various stages of their relationships, whether it’s finding the right romantic balance, parenting, overcoming commitment issues, expressing emotion or simply admitting to being useless around the house.

A morphine alternative with less overdose risk?

By Lisa Rapaport

Reuters

Scientists are testing an experimental medicine that’s designed to have the painkilling power of morphine without some of the dangerous side effects that can lead to overdose deaths.

The compound is so new it doesn’t have a name, just a number. It’s only been tested in mice, and it needs years of additional

Must read animal studies before researchers can even start trials to see if it works safely in humans.

But initial results in mice suggest the new drug might be less addictive than morphine and other opiate painkillers and avoid a side effect known as respiratory depression that results in overdose deaths, scientists say.

That’s because the compound activates nerve-cell surface receptors responsible for morphine’s painkilling effects without activating receptors involved in controlling breathing or in releasing the pleasure-related chemical dopamine.

So unlike opiates, the new medicine might not trigger a surge in dopamine, a brain chemical involved in emotions like addiction, pleasure and pain, said Brian

Shoichet, senior author of a paper on the new drug published on Wednesday in Nature.

“The dopamine circuit is one of the primary reward circuits in the brain, and its over-activation leads to repeated seeking of the reward stimulus - in this case, morphine (or related opioids),” said Shoichet, a researcher in pharmaceutical chemistry at the University of California, San Francisco.

“This ultimately becomes addic-

tion,” Shoichet added.

Another potential advantage of the new medicine is that tests so far in mice suggest it may not turn on cellular signals that suppress breathing, a leading cause of overdose deaths.

Globally, an estimated 15 million people are addicted to morphine and other opiates, according to the World Health Organization.

About 69,000 people die from overdoses of these drugs each year.

Black success should matter We keep hearing that “black lives matter,” but they seem to matter only when that helps politicians to get votes, or when that slogan helps demagogues demonize the police. The other 99 percent of black lives destroyed by people who are not police do not seem to attract nearly as much attention in the media.

What about black success? Does that matter? Apparently not so much.

We have heard a lot about black students failing to meet academic standards. So you might think that it would be front-page news when some whole ghetto schools not only meet but exceed the academic standards of schools in more upscale communities.

There are in fact Thomas whole chains of Sowell charter schools where black and Hispanic youngsters score well above the national average on tests. There are the KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) schools and the Success Academy schools, for example.

Only 39 percent of all students in New York state schools who were tested recently scored at the “proficient” level in math, but 100 percent of the students at the Crown Heights Success Academy school scored at that level in math. Blacks and Hispanics are 90 percent of the students in the Crown Heights Success Academy.

The Success Academy schools in general ranked in the top 2 percent in English and in the top 1 percent in math. Hispanic students in these schools reached the “proficient” level in math nearly twice as often as Hispanic students in the regular public schools. Black students in these Success Academy schools reached the “proficient” level more than twice as often as black students in the regular public schools.

What makes this all the more amazing is that these charter schools are typically located in the same ghettos or barrios where other blacks or Hispanics are failing miserably on the same tests. More than that, successful charter schools are often physically housed in the very same buildings as the unsuccessful public schools.

In other words, minority kids from the same neighborhood, going to school in classes across the hall from each other or on different floors, are scoring far above average and far below average on the same tests.

If black success was considered half as newsworthy as black failures, such facts would be headline news — and people who have the real interests of black and other minority students at heart would be asking, “Wow! How can we get more kids into these charter schools?”

Many minority parents have already taken notice. More than 43,000 families are on waiting lists to get their children into charter schools. But admission is by lottery, and far more have to be turned away than can be admitted.

Why? Because the teachers’ unions are opposed to charter schools — and they give big bucks to politicians, who in turn put obstacles and restrictions on the expansion of charter schools. These include politicians like New York’s “progressive” mayor Bill de Blasio, who poses as a friend of blacks by denigrating the police, standing alongside Al Sharpton.

The net result is that 90 percent of New York City’s students are taught in the regular public schools that have nothing like the success of charter schools run by KIPP and Success Academy.

That makes sense only politically, because it gains the money and the votes of the teachers’ unions, for whom schools exist to provide jobs for their members, rather than to provide education for children.

If you want to understand this crazy and unconscionable situation, just follow the money and follow the votes.

Black success is a threat to political empires and to a whole social vision behind those empires. That social vision has politicians like Bill de Blasio and Hillary Clinton cast in the role of rescuers and protectors of blacks from enemies threatening on all sides. If politicians can promote paranoia, that means bigger voter turnout, which is what really matters to them.

That same social vision allows the intelligentsia, whether in the media or in academia, to be on the side of the angels against the forces of evil. That’s heady stuff. And a bunch of kids taking tests doesn’t look nearly as exciting on TV as a mob marching through the streets, chanting that they want “dead cops.”

Black success has very little to offer politicians or the intelligentsia. But black children’s lives and futures ought to matter — and would, if politicians and the intelligentsia were for real.

The game of beach burkini bingo WASHINGTON — Once upon a time, a scantily clad lass padding down a beach might cause a riot — at least of eyeballs eager to extend the sidelong glance.

Today, it’s the fully clothed woman who overheats the passions in France, where three towns have banned the burkini.

Leave it to the French to criminalize modesty.

Latest to the ban-wagon is the Corsican village of Sisco, where three Muslim families and a group of local teens recently got into a row when one of the Muslim men became upset as a tourist photographed his burkini-clad wife.

The next day, riot police were needed in a nearby town to quell 200 protesters who stormed a housing area of mostly North African people, shouting “this is our home.” The precise cause of that flare-up wasn’t known.

Did a burkini do it?

No clue, according to local authorities, but Sisco is banning the ultimate cover-up, anyway, to “protect the population.”

Back on the mainland, the mayors of Cannes and nearby Villeneuve-Loubet also have banned burkinis. Two Muslim associations unsuccessfully challenged the Cannes ban but have promised to appeal the lower court decision.

Atlantic City, women were also required to wear stockings pulled above the knee with their swimsuits. When young women protested the stocking law, it was the League of Women Voters that urged strict enforcement.

While beach patrols searched out bathing suit violators, they also scouted for their ogling male counterparts, described in a newspaper story of the time as “bald beach lizards.” One brave woman, novelist Louise Rosine, went to jail rather than cover up her knees with stockings.

It was “none of the city’s darn business,” she said, whether she “rolled ’em up or down.”

We’ve come a long way, baby. And along the way, with few exceptions, we’ve found it possible to allow people to don (or not) their apparel as they wish. Some schools may ban message-emblazoned shirts.

And we dutifully shed our jackets, scarves and shoes during security checks.

Hispanic students uplifting this teacher CHICAGO — Like millions of children across the country, last week I went back to school.

After 10 years of being away from the classroom, I’m teaching high school students the same age as my own children.

Lots of things are the same as when I last taught, and others are quite different — such as the technology used to teach, plan lessons, give assessments and enter grades.

But what is most surprising by far is something I hadn’t anticipated: the diversity of the Hispanic students at my school.

In 2012, the Pew Research Center’s Hispanic Trends Project reported that about a quarter of all pre-K through 12th-grade public school students were Hispanic. But I hadn’t seen with my own eyes what that really looks like.

I’m teaching in a middle- to upper-middle-class community in a suburb of Chicago that saw an approximate 30 percent increase in its Latino population since the 2000 census. And within the cohort of Hispanic students, most of whom have dark hair, olive skin and parents of Mexican descent, there are large numbers of kids from Hispanic and non-Hispanic white (and black and Asian) families who seem to come in two types: the semi-visible and

Diegos or Marias — I should have known that from my own family.

Like myself, my two cousins are half-Mexican, half-Ecuadorean. One married a woman from the Philippines and their two boys take after their mom’s side of the family. My sons Esther look like my husband’s white Cepeda family and carry clear-as-day Scots-Irish first and last names. the hidden.

My other cousin married an Though the school is about African-American woman, and 43 percent Hispanic, my classes their daughters are mixtures of include semi-visible Hispanic both their backgrounds. students. What I mean by this I imagine all our kids’ is that they have names such as teachers’ eyebrows went up Kevin Gonzalez, Todd Chavez, when they looked at our clan’s Madison Vargas or Kaylee demographic data.

There will always be social me. Of course, not all of the stratifications in high schools, Latino students are brown-eyed but when groups of young

people who have parents from a mixture of ethnic and racial groups gather, they seem to tend toward being able to relate to each other’s similarities, not their differences.

Throughout the course of the day, kids who look like they might be purely European break out native-level Spanish language skills when immigrant parents walk into the room.

When we talk about news items involving racial issues, students will chime in with tidbits about their diverse demographic family constellations that inform discussions that might otherwise veer into taking sides or us-versus-them mentalities. Even the cafeteria tables are pretty well integrated.

This is all unscientific observation, but it’s still uplifting.

Demographic shifts often are characterized sensationally — news headlines typically shriek about rising minority populations with thinly veiled terror about reverse-supremacy and “The End of White America.”

But if the rest of the country’s shift to majority-minority is as cosmopolitan as it is in just one American suburb, things are looking up.

TCHASE ITLE

SUPER SIX FOOTBALL

GRAYSON’S CHASE BRICE

PHOTO: KYLE HESS

Intangibles are what separate Grayson QB

By Paul Thomas

THE BRICE FILE

paul.thomas@ gwinnettdailypost.com

With a roster full of as much talent as any high school in the country, expectations will be sky-high for Grayson this season.

The weight of those expectations will fall on quarterback Chase Brice, who has started for the Rams since he was a freshman. He’ll have to play the role of distributor as well as locker room therapist at times with only one football to go around.

“Just talking to (my teammates) all the time,” he said of how he plans to handle it. “Just joking with them, make sure their spirits are up. It sounds funny, but a lot of them know they’re not going to get as many touches as they want every game and so they’re going to make the best of it with whatever touches they get, whether it’s 5, 10 or less.”

Brice is also adjusting to a new head coach for the Rams. The last three seasons he’s played under his uncle Mickey Conn, who left in the spring to work for Clemson.

Name: Chase Brice Position: Quarterback Height: 6-foot-2 Weight: 195 pounds College choice: Clemson Place of birth: Savannah Role Model: My dad Favorite restaurant: Carraba’s Favorite store: Nike outlet Favorite teachers: Chris Blair and Rob Patton Favorite subject: History Number of text message I send in a month: 250? I’m not sure, not a whole lot.

Superstitions: None Life’s dream: To have no regrets in what I pursue.

Best player in Gwinnett County not on my team: Archer linebacker Quinn Miller

Grayson is now led by Jeff Herron, who runs a wing-T based offense.

When Brice was growing up, the Rams ran a similar scheme, but the past two years they went to a spread offense that featured Brice’s ability to pass the ball.

Brice said the adjustment has been fine and that

Grayson will have elements of both offenses this fall.

“I’ve done the wing-T since I was 7 years old, all the way through freshman year and then sophomore and junior year we kind of went to the spread wingT but we still go to it,” he said. “We’re doing the best of both worlds, the wing-T is rolling and obviously the gun is rolling too. I’ve got both offenses down pat.”

Rivals.com rates Brice a four-star prospect and the No. 10 pro-style quarterback in the country. This summer he was invited to the Elite 11 finals, an annual competition held by Nike and former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer to rank the best high school football signal callers in the nation.

Brice threw for 2,708 yards, 29 touchdowns and just nine interceptions last season. He completed 65 percent of his passes as the Rams reached the state semifinals.

Yet Brice’s on-field acumen is not what has impressed Herron most this offseason. What’s stood out to him about his 6-foot-2, 195-pound quarterback is his leadership. He said that

Brice has been a huge help with the transition to a new offense, new coaches and new teammates, including several high-profile transfers.

“First of all, he’s really talented,” Herron said.

“There’s no question of that. Every time I’ve had the opportunity to watch him this summer I’ve been more impressed with him. He has a real grasp of the offense, he’s a good leader, works to improve. I’ve been around quarterbacks with a lot of talent. I’ve seen some this summer at other schools.

But I think what’s going to separate Chase is he has the intangibles, too. With the talent and the intangibles together, I think he’s got a really bright future.”

That bright future likely will play out at Clemson.

Brice committed to the Tigers last December in what seemed like a straightforward decision. Clemson began recruiting Brice earlier than most colleges and Conn and Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney played together at Alabama (that’s how Conn ended up as a senior defensive assistant for the Tigers).

There was one problem — just days earlier Clemson had flipped five-star quarterback Hunter Johnson from Tennessee. The Brownsburg, Ind., product is rated the No. 1 pro-style quarterback in the country.

Even with another Elite 11 quarterback on board, Brice still decided to push his chips all in with the Tigers.

“They just kept pursuing me and pursuing me harder than any other school that was interested and it was a special feeling,” Brice said.

“Plus I loved the coaching staff, I loved the atmosphere of Clemson. When Hunter committed, he flipped kind of out of nowhere and I was like, ‘Man, this is probably the school I want to go to.’

I just thought wherever else I go they’re going to get the best guy in (the Class of 2018) to try to compete with you, they’re going to have a great guy in the ’16 class, you might as well go where you’re going to enjoy college even if you’re not playing football.

“Best of both worlds, I’ve got football at Clemson and the college at Clemson. I’m just happy about it.”

“It was a really neat thing to be a part of,” Curran said. “We were all excited when we got invited to the Corky Kell Kickoff, because that’s your chance to play in the same stadium as the Falcons, so it’s just like living your dream as a child before it actually happens.

GAC must push on without Mills The last time I spoke with Davis Mills he was smiling and laughing at his photo shoot as one of the Daily Post’s Super Six selections.

He spoke less than two week ago with excitement about his senior football season, about being a leader and about how Greater Atlanta Christian’s young players were ready to step up. Just a few days later, Mills and his team were thrown for a major loop.

Mills, rated as one of the nation’s top quarterbacks, faces surgery for an injured knee that will keep him out at least three to four months. The Spartans will have to play on without their five-star recruit, likely for all of this season. He could attempt to come back early, possibly for the U.S. Army All-American game, but there’s also no

Will Hammock need to risk anything with the Stanford commitment’s bright future.

“We’re trying to look at it optimistically,” GAC head coach Tim Hardy said of Mills’ recovery.

That’s all the GAC players can do at this point — stay positive around Mills and pray for a speedy recovery. It’s safe to say Mills will still be around the program to provide leadership, he just won’t be throwing missiles around the field or running for any

touchdowns.

Some new faces also must emerge as leaders and key players, particularly on an offense that only returned four starters from last season’s state semifinal team. Without Davis, only three are back. Only one of those is a senior, wide receiver Harrison Sloan.

Sloan is now the only skill position player back who took significant snaps last season and his teammates in the other spots are young, but also talented. The line should be solid, too, a comfort for new starting quarterback Jonathan Rose, who debuts Friday against Lovett.

Rose, a projected starter at linebacker who took spring snaps at quarterback just in case he was needed, doesn’t have to be Mills — most college programs would have a tough time

replacing Scout.com’s No. 1 quarterback nationally.

Rose just needs to play steady, not turn the ball over and get it to GAC’s other playmakers. His athleticism running the ball is a plus and he throws the ball pretty well, too.

Most importantly, his coaches and teammates have confidence in him, a great sign for a team that still plans on another deep playoff run. “(Rose) is a senior and he’s a competitor,” Hardy said. “He played quarterback earlier in his career and played receiver recently. He played Friday night (in the scrimmage) against Woodward and did well.”

Will Hammock can be reached via email at will. hammock@gwinnettdailypost.com. His column appears on Thursdays.

front,” he said. “Every day is a new day to learn. Pat (Gamble) is doing a great job leading us and I’m doing what I need to do.”

The Yellow Jackets need Kallon to step forward and play well. He showed a lot of progress last year when Adam Gotsis was injured and Jabari Hunt-Days quit the team, moves that forced Kallon to play.

The defensive line has had a few nagging injuries, primarily with two-year starting end KeShun Freeman being banged up.

With Gamble entrenched at one tackle, Kallon is trying to hold off challenges from redshirt freshman Brentavious Glanton and sophomore Kyle CergeHenderson.

Special teams issues Coach Paul Johnson called out punter Ryan Rodwell, saying the senor needed to be more consistent in his kicks.

“Ryan has to be more consistent,” Johnson said.

“He’s very capable. He’s just got to be consistent.”

Rodwell has been the starting punter the last two season and averaged 40.2 yards in 2014 and 39.3 yards in 2015. He punted 45 times last season and had eight kicks longer than 50 yards; he booted a 59-yarder against Clemson.

But the unexpected shanks seemed to come at the least opportune time.

“He’ll hit two or three good ones and one not as good,” Johnson said. “He has ability because he can hit them the right way with power. He’s got to do it consistently.”

Johnson said placekicker Harrison Butker has been fine this preseason. Butker tried a 60-yarder in Sunday’s practice; it was long enough but was wide.

Johnson said a “myriad” of players have been tried on returns and said it was too early to speculate who would get a chance to replace graduated return specialist Jamal Golden.

Americans advance to water polo final The U.S. women’s water polo team beat Hungary on Wednesday to reach the finals at the Rio Games, where they will look to become the first women’s squad to win back-to-back Olympic gold medals in the sport.

The Americans faced their first deficit in Rio when Hungary went ahead 2-1 in the first quarter,

but the world champions regrouped and used tight defense and superior firepower to secure a 14-10 victory.

In Friday’s gold-medal match, the United States will face Italy, the gold medal winners in 2004, which beat Russia 12-9 in the other semifinal.

France wins dramatic jumping final over U.S. France won its second team show jumping gold medal ever and its first in 40 years on Wednesday in a dramatic final round of competition featuring eliminations, last-minute horse swaps and rails toppling down.

The United States took silver after Olympic veteran Beezie Madden withdrew due to an injured horse, meaning the United States started with only three riders and was not able to drop its worst score when Lucy Davis knocked a rail down for four penalties.

Germany claimed bronze after an adrenalinefilled jump off to break a tie with Canada.

Destiny Beckham (two hits, two runs, RBI), Jahne Bowen (two RBIs) and Hannah Turnbull (two hits) led the offense.

Emily Kable (1-0) allowed just three hits in the shutout win against Forsyth Central.

Michels had two hits and two RBIs for the Panthers (3-1). Morgan Schultz, Kirsten Buchanan and Megan Gibbs all had an RBI. North splits twinbill SUNWANEE — North Gwinnett run-ruled Dacula 9-1 in five innings and then fell 5-3 to North Forsyth on Wednesday in the Hawk/Bulldog Invitational.

Rollins leads U.S. sweep of hurdles Reuters RIO DE JANEIRO — Brianna Rollins of the United States won the 100 meter hurdles in a time of 12.48 seconds on Wednesday, leading compatriots Nia Ali and Kristi Castlin in the event’s first ever Olympic podium sweep.

Ali was clearly in second place when she crossed the line to take silver in 12.59 but Castlin faced a nervous wait before it was confirmed that she had taken bronze in 12.61.

Britain’s Cindy Ofili, also born in the United States, pushed Castlin right to the line but lost out on a

medal by two hundredths of a second in 12.63.

The U.S. sweep was all the more remarkable given world record holder Kendra Harrison and 2008 Olympic champion Dawn Harper missed the Games after failing to make the cut at the U.S. trials.

U.S. beat Brazil to take beach volleyball bronze American beach volleyball duo Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross came from a set down to beat Brazil 2-1 and clinch the bronze medal at the Rio Games on Wednesday in front of a hostile crowd.

Walsh Jennings, the

sport’s most successful player ever with three gold medals, dominated at the net during the second and third sets as the Americans overpowered Brazil’s Larissa Franca and Talita Antunes 17-21, 21-17, 15-9.

For Walsh Jennings, it was not the fourth gold medal she had cherished, but she leaves Rio having lost only one Olympic beach volleyball match during her stellar career, Tuesday’s semifinal against Brazilian pair Agatha Bednarczuk and Barbara Seixas.

Walsh Jennings made six blocks during the match, four of them coming in the

final set, as the American showed her experience to keep cool in front of a partisan crowd that booed every U.S. serve, and loudly cheered the early Brazilian lead.

Jamaica’s Thompson secures sprint double Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson completed a memorable sprint double on Wednesday after storming to victory in the women’s 200 meter final, blowing away the field with a season’s best run of 21.78 seconds.

American Tori Bowie, who won a silver medal in the 100, grabbed bronze.
