IT’S BEEN A BIG YEAR FOR BILLY HOWELL FORD LINCOLN

By Kimberly Bond The family-owned business, which opened on September 26, 1977, just celebrated their 46th anniversary in September.

“We’ve worked with three generations of drivers now,” said Bill Howell, the current dealership President and son of the original owner Billy Howell.

“We’ve helped customers find vehicles who are now grandparents. Now their grandchildren are coming in for their first vehicles.”

“Our customers have become our friends and family,” he added.

A FIXTURE IN THE COMMUNITY When Billy Howell purchased the dealership from Roy P. Otwell back in 1977, it already had an impressive history. Founded in 1910, just two years after Ford released the famous Model T, it was one of the first Ford dealerships in the region. Billy Howell worked for Ford Motor Company 18 years before he purchased the dealership that was in downtown Cumming where the government offices are currently located.

The dealership moved to its current location (1805 Atlanta Hwy, Cumming) in December of 1988. The

46,000 square-foot facility is situated on eight acres of land in the heart of Forsyth County. The Howell family has continued to operate the thriving dealership over the years. Many of their loyal employees know Ford vehicles in and out, having worked there for more than 30 years. Billy Howell sums up their success in two words, “Our People”.

SERVING THE COMMUNITY As a nine time Best in Forsyth award-winning dealership, what’s the secret to Billy Howell Ford’s success?

COVER SPONSOR: BILLY HOWELL FORD It could be partially due to their extensive selection of Ford and Lincoln vehicles, Featherlite trailers, Factory Trained Service Technicians, or maybe it’s the Collision Center and Quick Lane team that make vehicle maintenance and repair much more manageable and convenient.

However, Billy Howell Ford’s dedication to giving back to the Forsyth County community is definitely another factor in their success. For decades, the dealership has made it a priority to support local schools, non-profits, and charities.

Howell is one of the founding members of B.A.D.G.E., (Benevolent Association Dedicated To Giving To the Employees of Forsyth County Service Organizations) a non-profit that provides financial support to deputies, firefighters, police officers, and 911 Center team members. B.A.D.G.E. helps with unexpected medical expenses, education costs, and other needs to care for these brave men and women and their families.

For the past 12 years, Billy Howell Ford has hosted a First Responder’s Lunch/Dinner to commemorate the anniversary of 9/11. Several local restaurants and students from five culinary high school programs joined together to serve meals to hundreds of local first responders from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the dealership. Employees even delivered meals to first responders who could not leave their posts at the courthouse and jail.

“It’s an opportunity for us to serve those brave men and women who risk their lives for us every day.” said Brenda Howell, Business Development Manager at Billy Howell Ford Lincoln and daughter of Billy Howell.

The Howells are also involved in many other local non-profits such as CASA, an organization that provides advocates in the court system for at-risk children, Bald Ridge Boys Lodge, and Indian Friends Right to left: Bill, Cecelia, Billy, Matt, Leo, Brenda

COVER SPONSOR: BILLY HOWELL FORD of Atlanta, a non-profit that facilitates relationships between businesses, service providers, and members of the local Indian community.

ADAPTING TO CHANGING TIMES In light of the dealership’s longevity in Forsyth County, the Howells know that businesses must adapt to continue to provide great service. A growing and more diverse population, new technologies, and busy schedules all motivate the dealership to make changes that better serve the community.

One example is Billy Howell Ford’s Mobile Service Vans.

These vehicles provide repairs at the customer’s home or work for maximum convenience. The dealership also offers pick up & delivery service for their clients.

“We anticipate that up to 40% of our business in the future will be mobile or virtual,” shared Bill Howell.

A NEW DIRECTION FOR SALES New leadership on the sales side is also making a differ-

ence. Matt Howell, Bill Howell’s son, has recently taken over all Sales – new and pre-owned. Matt also oversees a multicultural team with multiple consultants fluent in Spanish, Korean, and other languages.

“Customers will always experience a friendly smile and a wonderful experience with knowledgeable consultants and service technicians.,” said Bill Howell.

Finally, for the first time since the pandemic impacted logistics nationwide, inventory is becoming available again, giving customers improved choices, including better access to popular electric vehicles. Brand-new level 3 electric chargers will also help customers interested in trying out an electric car or truck.

“A whole lot has changed since 1977. The one thing that has not changed is that we still believe in our coworkers and being the best in the industry and servicing the best customer base in the world,” declared Bill Howell.

Billy Howell Ford is ready for the next 46 years!

A holistic approach TO YOUR WELLNESS

by Sudie Crouch Health & Wellness columnist Oftentimes when we go to the doctor, the first thing they ask is what symptoms we’ve been experiencing.

They check for a fever, blood pressure, and run blood work to find out what may be going on with other levels.

Those are great ways to determine if we have a virus or other illness.

However, health and wellness does not mean just the mere absence of disease. It can mean a lot of things actually, with one of the definitions meaning a balance in all areas of our life.

From a holistic perspective of wellness, many practitioners use an assessment tool called the Wheel of Wellness.

The number of areas on the wheel can vary depending on the scope of the practice, but for the most part, there are eight: social, physical, emotional, occupational, spiritual, intellectual, environmental, and financial.

By having clients explore each area and indicate how satisfied they are in each area, it can help wellness coaches and other practitioners to see where there may be some areas the client wants to work on.

Each of the areas are interconnected, so when one area is out of balance or low, it can spill over into another area.

Think of the person who is stressed and unhappy in their job (occupational).

They may not have time to reach out to friends or family, so their social connections are also off.

The stress may be causing them to feel anxious, depressed – which may further affect their social connections.

It can lead to emotional eating, which can cause weight gain and possibly other health concerns. The stress can have a tremendously negative effect on

their body as a whole. It’s clear how one area being out of alignment can impact those others.

Yet, bringing one area a bit closer to alignment or registering higher satisfaction can also help shift the others too.

If an individual’s spiritual area is a bit higher, they may practice meditation to help them release some of the anxiety or to feel more grounded. Practicing gratitude can have a positive affect on our overall health and well-being and this is where that practice would fall.

Having a higher score in this area may also mean they have a solid social network to reach out to, which can help their emotional well-being as well.

One area that many may not realize that’s having an impact on their well-being is their environmental segment.

Are there nearby places to enjoy nature? Our area is rich in natural beauty with the mountains, lakes, and rivers, but not every area has these options. Having a safe space to walk, whether for exercise or for necessity can also fall under this area. This goes beyond just our natural resources too. A person’s environment can be their home or work space. Is it safe? Is it equipped with things they may need to make it more accessible if needed? Is the area too loud, bright, etc?

Sometimes, it may be a matter of decluttering a space to make it more inviting and usable; other times, it may mean finding a different space altogether.

When approaching your own well-being, you can use the wheel to check in with yourself at different times to see if one of those areas may be off and throwing the rest of your overall wellness out of balance. If you see you’re out of balance in the social area, what can you do to make new connections? If you’d like to strengthen your intellectual area, what are some new things you can learn or try?

Exploring our well being from a holistic, whole-being approach can help us find more balance in our lives, which can lead to healthier outcomes that may enrich our lives.

There is a quote that is often attributed to shamanic practices, where if someone is sick and visits the medicine man of the community, the first thing that is asked is: When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?

While that quote doesn’t just mean those things in a literal sense, it shows how our health and well-being are connected to more than just what we eat and how many steps we may take each day.

NEW ICE CREAM PARLOR BRINGS

‘a taste back in time’

TO THE CUMMING CITY CENTER Photos and story by Sabrina Kerns skerns@forsythnews.com A popular ice cream parlor serving up handmade treats and “a taste back in time” is now open at the Cumming City Center.

Juke N Jive held its ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, Sept. 1, nearly a week after its grand opening. The 1950s-style parlor invited customers to travel back in time to try some of its selection of more than 30 different ice cream flavors.

Owners Russ and Debi Yorke said they were both more than excited to finally be opening the doors to their location at the City Center. For them, seeing customers come in for the first time has been a surreal experience.

“I have to pinch myself,” Debi said. “Is it real? Has it finally happened?”

Debi and Russ say it has been even more exciting to see customers coming into the new location who have tried the ice cream before, either at the original location in Braselton or at their ice cream truck which makes frequent stops at events in Forsyth County.

And even as the couple settles into

the new location at the City Center, they already have plans in a couple of weeks to open a third location in Hoschton.

“We have been very busy,” Debi said, laughing. “But it’s God’s timing. Everything has just been perfectly done.”

In each location, customers will feel as if they were transported back in time as the parlor is decked out with decor straight from the 1950s. Neon lights, bright blues and pinks and even a jukebox in the corner make the parlor at the City Center a unique experience.

What makes it even more unique are the sweet treats themselves.

Not only do servers offer up more than 30 different handmade ice creams, with dairy-free and sugar-free options available, but they also offer a variety of other desserts like fudge, popsicles, bread pudding, cakes, pies, cobblers, hot chocolate bombs and more — all of it handmade by Debi’s sister.

“We use all natural flavors and colors,” Debi said. “All of our colors, everything comes from plants like purple carrot, beets, spirulina. That’s part of what makes our ice

cream so good.”

Although they just opened, Debi and Russ said they have already had hundreds of customers come in, a huge line of people forming out of the door and onto the sidewalk at the City Center during their grand opening on Saturday, Aug. 26.

So far, Debi said their cookies and cream flavor has been a crowd favorite, but other flavors include banana pudding, lavender honey, chocolate trinity, watermelon, peanut butter explosion and many more.

Juke N Jive will now be open every Monday-Thursday from 1 p.m.-9:30 p.m., every Friday from 1 p.m.-10:30 p.m. and every Saturday from 12 p.m.-10:30 p.m. It is located at 441 Vision Drive in the Cumming City Center.

Pages of Philanthropy:

How Your Local Library Nurtures Community Giving “The best thing to do with the best things in life is to give them away.” — Dorothy Day

by Leslie Marinelli From the Ancient Greek word philanthropia, the term philanthropy is defined as “a love of humanity.” Today, philanthropy means generosity in all its forms and is often equated with giving gifts of time, talent, and treasure to help make life better for other people.

I might be biased, but when I think of an organization that improves quality of life— and for free, no less—I can’t help but think of Forsyth County Public Library (FCPL).

FCPL plays a vital role in nurturing community giving by fostering an environment of learning, connectivity, and social responsibility. Here are a few ways your library and philanthropy go hand-in-hand: Expanding Community Reach through Innovative Programs Not everyone can easily get online or to one of FCPL’s four (soon to be five) locations to enjoy all the free library materials and resources. To meet the needs of our community beyond our buildings, we have an Outreach Team dedicated to extending the Library’s reach.

The FCPL Outreach Team visits thirteen senior and assisted living communities a month to deliver books and our innovative Golden Hour with the Library enrichment programs. During these monthly visits, seniors experience multi-sensory stimulation through images, songs, games, object interaction, and interesting facts about each pro-

gram’s topic.

FCPL’s Mailbox Books program offers homebound library patrons the convenience of receiving and returning books and other items in a postage-paid mail pouch at no cost.

The Library also offers bookmobile services throughout the county. FCPL’s Bookmobile currently has twenty-three designated monthly stops, fifty-percent of which are in underserved areas of the county.

In addition to our regular monthly stops, the Bookmobile also partners with a number of community entities including: • The Place of Forsyth’s Mobile Food Pantry • CASA of Forsyth County • Forsyth Community Connection • Georgia Highlands • Forsyth County Head Start FCPL also maintains five book displays with key partners throughout the county. These displays offer free books for children and teens, as well as preschool enrichment packets that include practice worksheets and information on Library services and programs. One of our newest locations is located in the WIC waiting area at the Forsyth County Health Department.

HUNDREDS SHOW UP TO GIVE A LOCAL FOSTER CHILD A BIRTHDAY TO REMEMBER

By Sabrina Kerns skerns@forsythnews.com A line of race cars, monster trucks and motorcycles paraded through a Forsyth County neighborhood to give a foster child the first and best birthday party of his life.

Ashley B., who has been fostering the five-year-old boy for about seven months, said he brought up during another child’s birthday earlier this year that he had never had a birthday party of his own.

So when his birthday rolled around this month, they had a small party with family and friends to celebrate.

“He was so excited,” Ashley said. “He was like, ‘This is the

12

|

November 2023

best day of my life!’”

Little did he know, though, that Ashley had also reached out to a friend and local electrician, Anthony Ariondo, to set up another little surprise — a drive past their house in Ariondo’s race car.

“Our little guy is obsessed with cars. He thinks a Jetta is a race car, so he really just loves all cars,” Ashley said, laughing.

Hearing this, Ariondo decided to ask some of his friends and others in the community to see if they could get involved and bring their own cars for the little boy to see on his special day. Ashley and Ariondo also posted on social media, putting feelers out for anyone who might be interested in stopping by.

“And it just took off like wildfire,” Ashley said. “It blew my expectations out of the water and Anthony’s, too.

He set it all up, and more and more people just kept saying, ‘We’ll be there.’”

The next day, more than 130 cars and 30 motorcycles filled the Cumming City Center as drivers readied to head to the neighborhood.

Even more community members came out to help lead the parade to their house, direct traffic and set up birthday decorations — all to see a smile on the boy’s face and give him a birthday he will never forget. And Rita West Photography, who opened a studio at the City Center earlier this year, came out to capture the surprise celebration on camera.

Ashley and her family set up chairs outside of their house where they sat with the boy as each of the cars and motorcycles drove by, with each driver stopping to say hello and drop off a gift for the birthday boy.

“They were handing money out of their windows,” Ashley said. “Someone brought vintage racing stuff. Some people offered him experiences like touring race car warehouses and a go-kart experience. Somebody [mes-

saged] me yesterday, offering me a toy racetrack set that they had with their kids.”

Others handed him toys and vintage Hot Wheels cars, but Ashley said his favorite gift ended up being a Waffle House hat that he put on his head and didn’t take off for the rest of the day.

“He thought that was the coolest thing,” she said.

With each passing car and each gift, Ashley and her family became more and more astonished by the huge act of kindness that she said one can really only find in Forsyth County.

“It’s the most moving thing,” Ashley said, tearing up. “Sometimes with fostering you can kind of feel like you’re on an island because you can’t really share much about what’s going on. It can be a little lonely.

“So to have hundreds of people, with 24 hours’ notice, stop what they’re doing and come out to care about a kid that you care about and you know deserves to be cared about …. All of my neighbors who were here and my friends, we all just kept looking at each other and crying. It’s just so moving, really.”

During the parade, some driv-

ers stopped to share their own stories with Ashley of living in foster care or fostering a child, and many more have messaged her in the week since to thank her for making sure the boy had a special day.

To her, though, it was really the community that gave him that special day. And after the parade was over, she made sure he knew that.

“I told him, ‘Every single one of these people who just drove by and all of the people who came by tonight came out because you’re special and they want you to know that you’re special,’” Ashley said. “And he went, ‘Wow, I didn’t know that!’ It was so sweet.”

Even over a week later, he is still amazed by all of the cool cars, motorcycles and trucks that he got to see that day. And now anytime he sees a race car out on the town, he immediately points to it and yells out, “I bet they came to my birthday!”

And Ashley hasn’t forgotten it either.

“It was the most rewarding thing that I’ve ever gotten to experience,” she said. “Just seeing everybody rallying around a little kid who deserves it.

“I will remember this for the rest of my life.”
