Then the kids received a lesson disguised as a treat: a Tootsie Roll. Trent instructed the children to chew the candy like chewing tobacco and try not to swallow any of the chocolate. After a few minutes, the students realized that it is impossible to spit out all the "juice.” Some of it slides down the throat, caus ing throat cancer. “I didn't realize how much you swallow until 1 tried it," Trent said.

"It's money," Caton said. State to hold three job fairs in Gwinnett Co.
