Brothers with a passion for Georgia
Unique gifts from George and Jack Fontaine create a program in music business and an alcohol education center for UGA students
by Kelly Simmons
Like many siblings, George and Jack Fontaine shared a lot of experiences. Older by nearly two years, George charted courses that Jack often followed. Both brothers attended UGA, but the outcomes were vastly different. Despite the contrast, each brother developed a strong affection for UGA, a loyalty that would outlast triumph and tragedy and eventually induce them to establish separate legacies at UGA.
George Fontaine (BBA 76) came to UGA in 1972, fresh out of military high school in Chattanooga and tasting freedom for the first time. Raised on Lookout Mountain, he grew up cheering for the Tennessee Volunteers until the summer he went to camp at UT and decided he didnt like Knoxville. He chose Georgia instead.
George pledged Phi Delta Theta and became its social chairman, booking bands for the fraternitys house parties and praying people would be sober enough to show up after the football games. By the time he left Athens in 1977 and headed to Houston to work for the family business, he had finished school, gotten married and helped re-launch the Georgia Theater as a music venue.
Jack Fontaine (M 79) enrolled at UGA in 1975. He also pledged Phi Delta Theta. He, too, was a part of the social scene, and it became his downfall. Addicted to alcohol and drugs, he left school after two and a half years to join George in Houston.
Years later, the Fontaine brothers would return to Athens with their teenage sons prospective freshmenin tow. Seeing the campus again rekindled memories and the love each of them held for the school. In the coming months, the brothers left more than their sons at Georgia. They gave extraordinary gifts to UGA that played on their greatest passions.
A simple life
Its a steamy day in June and the Fontaine brothers are eating at a Thai restaurant near their west Houston homes, which are just a mile or so apart. Sweat beads on Jacks forehead from his favorite dish, Tiger Cried, beef with spicy green sauce. George ribs him good-naturedly, something Jack has gotten used to as the younger brother.
They have been business partners since college, first with the family company and now as owners of a successful Red Bull distributorship. Friends as well, they spend a lot of time together outside of work, hunting dove and quail, and cheering the Astros at Minute Maid Park or the Georgia Bulldogs on television.
Though older, George is the shorter of the two, with twinkling eyes and a crooked smile, like his mothers, that his wife Celia teases him about. Jack is leaner and more solemn. Shy by nature, as a boy he spent Sunday mornings in a church bathroom crawlspace rather than go to a Sunday school class where hed been forced to sing a solo.
The teacher caught me talking in class and she made me sing from a hymn book, Jack vividly recalls. It took 10 minutes. I never went back to Sunday school again.
Growing up in and around Chattanooga, George and Jack never wanted for much. The boys great grandfather, John Lupton, was one of three Chattanooga investors who were awarded Coca-Cola bottling franchises in the early 1900s. As sales of the soda flourished the family prospered with bottling plants in Houston, Dallas, Austin, Denver and Phoenix, and later additional markets were acquired in Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville. The family sold the company to Coca-Cola in 1986.
But despite their wealth, the boys greatest pleasures growing up were simple. They hunted, fished and camped on Lookout Mountain, combing the hillside for relics from the Civil War.
One of Georges most memorable gifts from his grandfather was a transistor radio. Just five years old, George would fall asleep with the radio pressed against his ear, listening to Johnny Cash, James Brown and the Beatles. He saw Brown live in concert when he was in 8th grade. Not long after he saw the Allman Brothers.
That was it for me, he says.
Once at UGA, he thrived on the Athens music scene, and booking bands for fraternity parties took him deeper into it. Just before graduation in December 1976, a friend who shared his musical tastes came to him with a bold ideato lease the shuttered Georgia Theatre and turn it into a concert hall. He threw himself into the project, working days selling stereos and albums at a local record store, and evenings and weekends planning for the re-emergence of the theater.
I just loved Athens like no place Ive ever been in my life, he says.
By then he had married Celia, his high school sweetheart, who had moved to Athens after graduating from Tennessee and was teaching at St. Joseph Catholic School. They were there just a few months before Georges family decided he needed to put his business administration degree to better use and he was sent to Houston to work for the family business. His first job was cleaning out beverage displays in groceries and convenience stores.
He and Celia left Athens before the theater opened.
But while George Fontaine had left the music scene, the music bug still had him.
In 1995, he partnered with a friend to start an independent record label. A few years later, the company merged with New West Records, out of Minneapolis. The label had some small artists but soon hooked a big fishDelbert McClinton, who won a Grammy for his first album produced by New West.
He gave us the clout we needed, George says. Soon New West had a cast of well-known artists including Dwight Yoakam, John Hiatt and the Drive-By Truckers.
Addiction, sobriety, then a tragedy
Jack Fontaine often followed in his older brothers footsteps. He too fell in love with the Athens social scene. But the temptations of a college town and fraternity life were too great. He stopped studying and going to class and by 1978 had dropped out.
I was mature enough to be an addict but was not mature enough to handle college, Jack says.
Like his brother, Jack moved to Houston and went to work on the bottom rung of the family business, riding shotgun in a delivery truck to learn the routes and the routine before getting a route of his own. He met Nancy in 1980 and they married less than a year later. He was still drinking and doing drugs when their first son, John, was born in 1984.
His life was unmanageable.
It did cost me college; it almost cost me my marriage, he says.
By 1987 Jack had hit bottom and was willing to ask for help. He entered a treatment center and returned to Houston clean and sober, the addictions no longer a part of his life. His head was clear, his body clean. The time hed spent nursing hangovers or looking for a dealer were put to better usetime spent with family or on his business. When youre not looking over your shoulder, when youre not hampered by unmanageability, youre open to focus, Jack says. The doors open up in front of you. Id never felt better, never been happier, never been as productive.
But alcohol wasnt through with Jack. In December 2000, he suffered the ultimate losshis oldest son, John.
John Fontaine, then 16, got into a car with a friend who had been drinking. The friend lost control of the car and hit a tree, throwing John, who wasnt belted in, to the pavement. He died instantly.
It was an unthinkable horror for Jack and Nancy, who had spent long hours talking to the oldest of their three children about the dangers of alcohol. Dont drink and drive, they had told him. Dont ever get in a car with someone who has been drinking.
The days after the accident were a blur as family and friends moved in and out of the house. Teenage cousins and friends gathered to mourn and celebrate Johna fun-loving boy whose self-confidence was a source of wonder to his father. John entertained sick children as Wilbur the pig in a childrens theater production of Charlottes Web, and at age 11 during a summer fishing trip he chatted easily with an unexpected visitor on deckformer President George Bushwhile Jack, star struck, remained tongue-tied and terrified in the galley.
A timely decision
Just four years after Johns death, and 27 years after leaving UGA, Jack returned to campus with his second son, Harrison, a high school senior who hoped to enroll at UGA the following summer. Jack remembered the demons from his college years and thought about John. How many more students would stay in school if they knew the warning signs of alcoholism and addiction, he wondered. How many more would live to graduate if they knew the dangers of drinking and driving? Wouldnt it be great for these 18-and 19-year olds to know how much better their lives would be in 20 years if they made the right decisions now?
Its what keeps me sober every day, he says. Thinking about what I have to lose.
Jack knew he had to do something substantial for UGA to try and keep kids from going down the same road he had, or worse, ending up like John. After much discussion, he and Nancy decided to endow a new program at UGA to better educate students about the dangers of alcohol.
If I had approached or confronted this personal problem in my early years I would have a Georgia diploma today, Jack wrote in a letter to UGA outlining the gift. In February, UGA announced the John Fontaine Jr. Center for Alcohol Awareness and Education, made possible by a $2 million gift from Jack and Nancy Fontaine.
The gift could not have come at a better time for the university, which has struggled to address the increasing problem of excessive and binge drinking, particularly among underage first-year students. In January, a freshman died after a night of excessive partying on and off campus.
Vice President for Student Affairs Rodney Bennett says the problem likely is more severe than university officials even realize. I dont know that we fully understand the depth of what this work is going to be about, Bennett says. Were so fortunate Nancy and Jack were willing to trust us with the resources they gave us.
It just felt right
In the meantime, George too found that he wanted to give back to the school where his third and youngest, Cartter, is now a freshman. His oldest son and namesake graduated from UGA with a journalism degree in 2004; during George Jr.s senior year, George and Celia made a permanent commitment to the area, buying a 2,000-acre farm fronting the Broad River in Elberton.
I didnt realize how beautiful the land was around that area, George says.
A chance meeting between George and Nashville songwriter Bruce Burch (BSEd 75) led to an even greater investmentthis time in UGA. Burch had been talking to Terry College of Business Dean George Benson about starting a music business program in partnership with the School of Music. Benson agreed it was a good idea given Athens music history, Atlantas growing hip hop industry and the music business in Georgia, which is approaching $2 billion.
They just needed someone to pay for it. George gave the school $500,000 of his own money and $250,000 from his familys foundation to start the certificate program. It launched with 27 students in January and Burch, whos now in Athens, expected 50 more students to enroll in August.
Were very excited about this, Benson says. We think this program not only can help give students a leg up in the industry, but the city of Athens as well.
UGA President Michael Adams praised the Fontaines for recognizing specific needs at the university and doing something to address them. They put their money where their mouths and their hearts are, he says.
For the Fontaine brothers, the gifts are a legacy to the university that they hope will outlast themselves, their sons and their grandchildren.
It just felt right, George says. Reconnecting here with my kids here at the same time makes it even more special.

Topic - Kit for the Alps
Street - on 25 Mar 2014
Well I'm off to the Alps this summer for the first time so have a few questions on kit! I'm going over at the start of July to spend some time learning things, doing some routes and plan on heading up Mont Blanc. What sort of temperatures should I be preparing for?
I've got a pair of Trango Extreme Evo GTX which I've used in the UK in winter and they keep my feet toasty but are they going to be warm enough at 4000m+?
I tend to wear Montane Terra Pants year round in the UK with HH long johns underneath when it gets properly cold. Is this going to be suitable for the Alps or would thicker trousers be better?
For the top half I generally wear a baselayer and R1 fleece with an Atom LT and Rab Stretch Neo for when it's colder/wet and sometimes carry an Atom SV for extra insulation if it's really cold in the winter. I'm assuming this will be OK for the Alps too.

With No Child Left Behind and Standards of Learning tests, Virginia schools have a lot to cover already, but soon educators may have another thing to add to the plate.
A proposal is currently before the General Assembly that, if it passes, would require students to have 150 minutes of physical education classes per week. Some students don't get even half that amount in one week at this time.
Since it was another snow day for Rockingham County Schools, some kinds took advantage of the free time to play outside in the snow. Trina Wiley's two kids were getting some exercise through such play, which is something the schools can offer only a limited amount of in gym class.
"It is very important for them for their motor skills, their cognitive skills, their social skills," says Wiley. "I think when you get older, it helps promote a healthy lifestyle. You get the children used to doing things like that on a regular basis, they're going to continue to do that as adults."
So legislators will be looking at a bill that would require students from kindergarten to 12th grade to have 150-minutes of physical education a week. Keister Elementary physical education teacher Barbara Cavanaugh thinks it is a needed change.
"We just feel like the students need more information given to them for health-related issues and also for physical activity," says Cavanaugh.
However, finding the time in an already crowded schedule to fit in more gym classes may be a challenge.
"It's very difficult right now with the state mandates, with the SOL's and with the No Child Left Behind to be able to fit in all the things in the time that is being asked of teachers now," says Cavanaugh. "The only way that would probably work here would be to add a little bit of time to the school day."
Cavanaugh says about 99 percent of kids look forward to gym class. The state mandates a certain amount of time for the core subjects, but Cavanaugh argues that physical education is also a core area because it's important to have a healthy body.
If the bill passes, it would be phased in and fully implemented by 2013.

A surprise announcement was made Thursday at Webster Jr. High School (WJH) when a teacher was awarded an Abraham Lincoln Fellowship from Horace Mann Educators Corporation.
"Christopher Jackson was the sole teacher from Louisiana to be recognized for this award," WJH principal Elena Black said. "We want to celebrate with him and show him how proud we are of his achievement."
In order to win the award, contestants must submit their resume and answer essay questions.
Contestants are judged by other educators who award 50 teachers with a fellowship to study the life and legacy of the 16th president.
"Fellows will get behind-the-scenes knowledge of the library and museum and enjoy visits to other historical sites such as New Salem, Lincoln's home, Lincoln's tomb, and the Old State Capitol," said Cherie Miner of Horace Mann Educators. "Fellows will also hear from experts on Lincoln's life and the Civil War era. Past topics have included a look at Lincoln the lawyer, Lincoln as president, political cartoons in the classroom, Civil War medical practices, and "Ghosts of the Library."
Jackson's fellowship will include a five-day session at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and museum as well as round trip transportation, lodging and most meals. Fellows also receive college credit.

Here's a survey touting the 10 best U.S. housing markets for 2013.
Some of the usual suspects are there — San Francisco and a whole bunch of cities in Texas, etc, etc.
But there it was, at #8, our very own … Peabody, Massachusetts. You might be wondering: Peabody? Peabody? Yes, Peabody!
The city's certainly doing something right. Look at the population of Peabody over the past century and think about how certain other Bay State cities (like — cough, cough cough — Boston ) have actually lost populations over the past 100 years.
So Peabody it is.
Update – Robert, in the comments section, makes a good point about how this is for the entire metro area surrounding Peabody, something that wasn't clear in the article. But we're still glad Peabody is getting its day in the media sun.
" ***Note that Peabody MA refers to the Essex County metropolitan division, which includes the suburbs north of Boston, with a population of 740,000. "

Corned Beef & Cabbage,Crockpot,when to add vegs+?
- michele cindy Mar 10, 2008 05:36 AM
I've seen a few recipes on line for cooking corned beef and cabbage in a crock pot, some say add the cabbage and potatoes to the bottom of the pot, and place the meat on top, others say to cook it in the juices about 30 min. After you remove the meat
I'd like to cook it slow for 10-12 hours. I'm a real novice when it comes to using a crock pot. Also, I'd like to use beer in the recipe. My corned beef weighs 2lbs. Do I just cover with liquid, or put more in? Looking for any suggestions for the best, full proof preparation of the dish in a crockpot.
I may be alone in this, but i don't like cooking the potatoes, cabbage etc in the corned beef juices. I feel it makes them too greasy - I would just cook the meat in the crockpot ( just cover with whatever liquid you want) and do the potatoes and cabbage on the stove.
I'm going to make colcannon this year - mashed potatoes mixed with cooked cabbage and baked
re: eimac
I'm with you, eimac....I don't cook anything else in with the corned beef because it isn't very good that way and you lose control of the doneness. I usually do colcannon these days, but when I do potatoes and cabbage, I cook them separately. I steam the cabbage and either steam or roast the potatoes.
I'm in the same boat as you, Michele. I'm thinking of cooking corned beef in the Crock-pot and Ive never done it before. I've been Googling recipes and I think I've settled on this one;
You add the vegetables halfway through. We'll see how it goes. Oh, and I think I'm going to sub out some of the water with beer, also.
I add the potatoes and carrots (I like carrots) on top of the brisket when I start and just add liquid (usually beer, but not Guinness - too dark) to just cover the brisket. When it's done I pull it all out and throw in the cabbage. By the time I'm done slicing the brisket and plating the veggies, the cabbage has cooked and is ready to go.
I like to slow-cook it in just enough beer to cover, then finish it under the broiler to crisp up the top; cook the veggies in the broth when you put the beef under the broiler, and they should be done around the same time (although large chunks of potatoes may take longer...).
I think the vegetables would just go to mush cooking 10 - 12 hours. This is what I did yesterday for Sunday dinner. I doubled my recipe for a big crowd, but only used 3 bottles of beer, 2 Killian's Red Ale and 1 bottle Guinness Stout, but you could use any beer.
I started out by putting my corned beef brisket, two 4 lb. corned beef briskets and 3 bottles of beer, in the crock pot Saturday night at 9:30pm. I took them out at 8:30am Sunday morning and added vegetables to the cooking liquid and cooked them for 4 1/2 hours until they were tender. I made the Colcannon right before we ate.
Even though you have 2 lb. corned beef brisket, I would still use the 2 bottles of beer. You'll need plenty of liquid to cover the vegetables later. You will probably need to add a cup or so of water or another bottle of beer to the cooking liquid to almost cover the vegetable. So as they wilt they are completely covered.
4 lb. corned beef brisket
2 (12 fl. oz.) bottles of Killian's Red Ale
Place the corned beef with the juices and seasonings from the bag in the crock pot. Pour beer all around the beef.
Cook on Low 10 - 12 hours, until tender. Mine took 11 hours. Remove beef from crock pot to cool. I let it rest 15 minutes before slicing.
At this point, put 1 head of cabbage cut into wedges, one 2lb. bag of carrots, and 2 yellow onions cut into wedges in the cooking liquid and cook on High for 4 - 5 hours, until tender.
Slice the meat and put it in a 13x9x2-inch Pyrex casserole or equivalent and refrigerate until 40 minutes before dinner. Remove from oven and spoon several ladles of the cooking liquid from the vegetables over the corned beef and warm in the oven for 35 minutes at 325* F.
I like to serve with Colcannon.
2 1/2 lbs. potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 slices bacon
1/2 sm. head cabbage, chopped OR 16 oz. package cole slaw mix
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 c. milk
salt and pepper, to taste (start with 3/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper)
4 Tblsp. butter
Place potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender.
Slice bacon into 1/4-inch slices and place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Scoop bacon out of the pan with a slotted spoon leaving the drippings in the pan. In the reserved drippings, saute the cabbage and onion until soft and translucent.
Drain the cooked potatoes, mash with milk, butter and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the bacon, cabbage, and onions, then transfer the mixture to a large serving bowl. Serve immediately.
NOTE: I've used both the 1/2 head of cabbage and the cole slaw mix. I prefer the cole slaw mix. Much easier to stir with the smaller cabbage pieces and I really liked the little bit of color the carrot gives the potatoes.
I didn't add the cabbage or potatoes, I'll cook them tonight. The corned beef came out SO GOOD in the crock pot. Put it in the pot fat side up, thinking the fat would ouze back down into the meat as it cooked. Simmered on low, for 10 hours, I just covered it in a can of beer, a 1/3 C of water, added a 1/4 C of brown sugar, a bit more whole corriander, peppercorns, & cloves to the pot along with the packet provided, and some small carrots, and an onion. I could have eaten the entire piece this morning. Looking forward to dinner tonight!
re: michele cindy
I'm glad to hear it turned out so good for you. Enjoy your meal tonight.
Cabbage turns into skunky paste in the crockpot. Just boil some salted water separately, poach the cabbage until tender, and serve with the corned beef. Carrots and potatoes would take maybe half an hour at most. Root vegetables like parsnips, turnips, and beets go great with brisket as well.
I cooked two flat corned beef in my crockpot today. I put it in and cooked it for 10 hours high and low. Then at about an hour and a half before eating I put my potatoes and carrots in and put the wedges of cabbage on top about a half our before eating. Then I disassemble by putting the vegetables each in their own dish with some of the juice and then I cut the brisket in slices (against the grain) then I put that in it's own dish with some juice from the crockpot. And serve. It turns out great. And any leftovers stay in the dishes in the fridge.
I would only cook the corned beef on the bottom with celery and carrots on top of that and just barely enough water/beer to cover the meat. I like cabbage sauteed in some butter and oil in a cast iron skillet...maybe add some of the cooking liquid to it. This is what I plan for St. Patrick's day. Set it up in the crock pot, go to the parade and party, come home to the lovely smells, slicing the meat and sauteing the cabbage.

Israel's Attorney General: UN Resolution 242 Says Nothing about Palestinian Entity
UN Security Council resolution 242 says nothing at all about a Palestinian entity, Attorney-General Elyakim Rubinstein said on Thursday, quoted by Haaretz newspaper.
"There was no such entity when the resolution was drafted, and there were no such immediate plans," he said.
Rubinstein was refuting various demands Palestinians have made in recent days about demanding a total Israeli withdrawal from the territories on the basis of resolution 242, said the paper.
He said there is no legal basis for comparing and adopting similar policies as those used with Egypt, Jordan, or Lebanon in the recent implementation of resolution 425.
Rubinstein emphasized that resolution 242 refers to secure and recognized borders. No such borders existed with the Palestinians while borders with Jordan and Egypt did exist, the paper quoted him as saying - Albawaba.com

Miratovac, Serbia
By Marko Djuirca
I had been thinking how cold it was for this time of year to need both my hoodie and my jacket. A cold, strong wind blew over the hills of no-man's land separating Serbia from Macedonia. I stood quietly in total darkness for an hour or so until the border patrol officer, looking through his thermal camera, said: "Here they are, I think there must be 40 of them!"
Every year, the Serbian border police catches more than 10,000 migrants from Africa, the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, who are trying to reach Serbia illegally. They come from Turkey, through Greece to Macedonia and Serbia before they reach Hungary and with it, the borderless Schengen travel zone.
When I decided to follow this story, I had no idea how strong an impact it would leave on me.
Sasha, a policeman, gave me his thermal binoculars and said: "Look to the left, they are ascending uphill, you can see them beautifully, them climbing in a column one by one." I spent a full two minutes looking at total blackness until I could make out the tiny white outlines of people hurrying through the forest. It brought back memories of looking at black-and-white film through a magnifying glass.
"Now slowly behind us, we need to be quiet."
"I'm following you," I told Sasha, and asked how it would be possible for three policemen in the dark, wide, open hills to catch 40 people. We hid behind a bush along their route and waited. Sasha stayed with me in front while the other two positioned themselves to surround the group. "When you hear me scream 'Stop—Police' then you can start taking pictures."
