For this month’s issue of 400-The Life, we focus on the diversity of people who live within our great county.

Forsyth is a county brimming with a wealth of wide-ranging ideas and cultures, thanks to the many varied backgrounds of the people who call our corner of the state home.

In this edition, you’ll find stories that cover this topic — and cover it well.

Reporter Kelly Whitmire examines this notion by interviewing spiritual, civic and government leaders to ask them why people of all varieties have decided to live here. In another one of Kelly’s stories, he looks at the impact of international businesses in and around our county and why Forsyth has become a target for more than 70 businesses operating here but originating outside the United States.

Alex Popp, a new reporter to 400-The Life and Forsyth County News, interviews a local woman who works at a Mexican restaurant in Cumming. She discusses how dedication and hard work helped to make the American dream come true for her. Hint: It involved sacrifice, perseverance and the love and support of her family.

Alex also provided one of his favorite recipes for this edition: Murgh Makhani, or Butter Chicken. I’m sure you’ll agree that his love of Indian food comes through in his writing as he describes how to prepare this famous dish.

We hope you’ll enjoy this and all the stories in this edition that celebrate all the different people and Stephanie Woody cultures that make our county great.

GROWTH

in recent decades means

NEW, DIVERSE CULTURES call Forsyth County home

O

Story by Kelly Whitmire

ver the last few decades, the population of Forsyth County has exploded, and that growth has brought new people and new customs to what was formerly considered a rural area outside Atlanta.

According to census data, Forsyth County had slightly fewer than 28,000 residents in 1980 and, as of 2016, the population was estimated to be more than 220,000.

That level of growth has brought an increase in the number of diverse people, religions and beliefs in the county.

“I think all the different diversity brings a more interesting community together,” said Forsyth County Commission Chairman Todd Levent. “I think everyone has something positive to bring. I think all the different cultures make it definitely a more interesting place to live.”

Rabbi Levi Mentz, with the synagogue Congregation Beth Israel and Chabad Forsyth, said the local Jewish community is relatively young. In 2016, the first synagogue opened in the county and the first Hanukkah menorah light-

ing took place at The Collection at Forsyth.

“As an established community, we’re only about 19 months old. We’re very, very young,” Mentz said. “There have been Jews that have lived in the county, but as an established Jewish community, we’re not even two years here.”

Mentz said despite the relative youth of the group, he was impressed by how fast it had grown and the commitment of the local Jewish community.

“It’s been incredible. The Jewish community has been unbelievable — really grassroots of everyone coming together in the most wonderful way. I can tell you that the connections, love, embrace and the caring for each other, the sense of responsibility for our Jewish community, the way it’s been demonstrated here is incredible.”

He said the community is planning to host Hebrew classes, open a Jewish day camp this summer and build a new community center.

‘People that are our own’

‘All about the cultural exchange’ Also in south Forsyth, the Ahiska Turkish Community Center, which is being built on Technology Drive, just off McFarland Parkway, is expected to hold many events this year to educate the community about the center and the culture of Ahiska Turks.

“The main idea is we are expecting to be busy with the community service,” said President Kamil Nufarov. “We are planning to do bake sales ... as well as we are planning to do a festival where you can come and try Turkish foods and listen to Turkish music [and] bring the family to learn more about Turkey.”

Nufarov said the community also has plans for garage sales, Turkish language classes, cooking classes and more in the county in the coming year.

“It’s all about the cultural exchange, I think,” he said. “We’re all united. We’re all good when [there is] diversity and we can come together and kind of share our values. I think that will be a very powerful event for the community.”

Ahiska Turks, also called Meskhetian Turks are an ethnic group from the area around the border and the country of Georgia, which were dispersed in 1944 by forced deportations from the USSR. Nufarov said more than 100 Ahiska Turkish families live in Forsyth County.

Nufarov said the families have been well-received by those living in the county.

“We love Forsyth County for all the reasons and the security,” he said. “We love the schools, we love the people and everybody welcomes us. We feel very comfortable.”

Similarly, Mentz said local Jewish families had been accepted as part of the community. He said the group also believed it was their job to make the county even better.

“We believe that we don’t live in a bubble,” Mentz said. “What that means is that by divine providence we were placed in north Georgia. We were placed in Forsyth County. It’s a blessing. We’re absolutely lucky and so blessed that we’re here, and the locals in the county should know how honored we feel to be part of the blessing of Forsyth County.

Gude said the local Indian community has also had positive experiences in Forsyth County.

The annual Greek Festival touts itself as Forsyth County’s largest ethnic event and offers traditional Greek food, dances, music and merchandise.

“It is great actually,” Gude said. “Now, we are involved with some churches and some of the schools ... there is a Temple on James Burgess Road in Suwanee. We are involved in the schools and get support from the other community. It’s very good.”

Levent said having more events and more groups of people living in the county meant there was more to do and a more interesting local atmosphere.

“It’s just not the same-old, same-old all the time,” he said.

“Whether you go to Greek festivals or you go to different festivals [that] different religions put on or people from other countries put on, it’s always an interesting thing to go visit and learn about. And it makes for a better a community.”

In south Forsyth, another group is finding ways for Asian and Indian members of the community to get more involved.

Recently, the Forsyth County-based Atlanta Namaste Lion’s Club was officially chartered by Lions Club International.

President Ramesh Gude said the club gave a chance for its members to get involved with local projects “The people ... do their work and they go home and they don’t much get involved with the local community and they don’t know what is happening around,” he said. “This kind of operation, we get to interact with people that are our own with the clubs.”

Gude said the group is made up of Indian and Asian members.

He said that Lion’s Club is popular in India, where the organization did a great deal of work helping the needy.

This year, Naresh Aggarwal of Batala, Punjab India was selected as the first Indian to serve as International President of Lions Club International.

“It is very popular back home. We do a lot of services in India,” Gude said. “They help serving, mainly medical, like poor people with disabilities. They will help them with glasses, cataract operations ... the people with diabetes, they’ll help.”

Gude said the local organization wants to follow that lead and raise money to help those in need in Forsyth County and metroAtlanta.

Granados: sacrifice and dedication key to American dream Story by Alexander Popp

THE LIFE | March 2018

ayra Granados is a perfect example of how dedication and hard work can make the American dream come true.

Her secret to success: sacrifice, perseverance and family.

“When I see myself now, I can’t believe the struggle that I went through. The sleepless nights, the rush home to prepare for tests, giving up weekends … it’s all been worth it,” Granados said.

Over her life, Granados has taken on an extraordinary amount of responsibility.

At 25, she is a mother, a graduate student of psychology at the University of North Georgia, a server and cashier at Los Rios restaurant in Cumming and the daughter of immigrants from Mexico.

Ten days after she graduated from West Forsyth High School, she gave birth to her son, Jason. But she said that having a newborn didn’t stop her from pushing forward in her career. Granados started at Georgia Perimeter College when Jason was only 3 months old — balancing work, school and family the best that she could.

“My child kept me going, I just knew that he needed the best of me, and I knew that I needed to sacrifice some weekends, some nights. But at the end of the road it’s going to be worth it,” Granados said.

She said it was always very important for her to go to college and graduate, because her parents never had that opportunity.

She started at Georgia Perimeter College, but transferred to Brenau and then University of North Georgia, looking for the right college.

When she transferred to UNG in 2015 Granados said she knew that she had found the right place.

“I loved the Dahlonega campus,” she said. “The staff develops more of a friendship relationship. That makes you more comfortable to ask for help and get involved. So I guess I found it more like a home.”

Granados graduated from UNG in 2016 with an undergraduate degree in psychology and became the first person in her entire family to graduate from college.

“It makes me proud, because my dad immigrated to the country when he was 16 years old, and he didn’t have the opportunity to go to school like I did,” she said.

Her dad, Salvador, emigrated from Mexico with big plans of moving to Chicago. Instead, her family made Forsyth County their home.

“He and his family in Mexico sacrificed everything to come over here and give us a better life,” she said “I wouldn’t have done it if they hadn’t been there.”

She said that even with the support of her family, things looked dark for a while in the beginning while she figured out how to balance her life.

“Jumping from one work to another, and then after that getting home late and doing homework. At times I felt like it was going to be forever. But I did it, and my parents and him were my motivation to keep going,” she said.

“From my point of view, the long hours she has put into college and work are just the type of person she is,” said her 29-year-old brother, also named Salvador Granados. “She’s the type of person who will sit at work while it’s slow and be doing her school work, and then being up at 5 to go to college. “ “So yeah, she’s a very dedicated person. When she gets something in her head, she’s gonna get it done,” he added.

When Granados graduated college in 2016, she said it made her a sort of hero to her family. Suddenly she had young relatives looking up to her.

“It makes me proud, because I’m the role model of all my immediate family, my nieces, my cousins and my son especially.”

Her son, Jason, is now 7 years old and attends Sawnee Elementary just like she did. She said that she hopes he will follow in her footsteps by graduating high school and going on to get a college degree.

She said that if she has learned anything it’s that anything is possible with enough hard work.

“You can do it ... you just have to sacrifice and dedicate yourself,” she said.

Granados is in her second year of her master’s program and will graduate sometime in 2020.

She says that after she graduates, she hopes that she can land a corporate job, but until then she’ll take the opportunities as they come and give them her best.

International business is

booming Story by Kelly Whitmire

F

orsyth County is home to all types of businesses, and it appears the county is becoming a target for businesses originating outside the United States.

“We’ve been very fortunate that there are a lot of international companies that are located in Forsyth County, and I think it just adds diversity to your economic base,” said Robert Long, vice president of economic development for the Cumming-Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce.

Long said investments from other counties allowed the companies to keep afloat during economic hardship, which benefited the county.

“During the Great Recession back in 2009, 2010, Forsyth County rode it out pretty much better than any other county in Georgia,” he said. “I think part of that was due to the number of international businesses in our community.”

He said there are more than 70 international companies operating in Forsyth and many had a unique trait for interna-

tional companies.

“We actually have 74 international companies, and of those, one of the things we’ve found, which is a little unusual, is that quite a few of them have a headquarters function,” Long said. “So, this might be their one and only facility in the U.S., so by default, it has a headquarters function.”

Long said international companies are interested in Forsyth County for the same reasons people move here: the location, good schools and high standard of living.

Doug Keith, vice president for large drives for Siemens Industries Inc., said the German-based company has operated in Forsyth County since 1989 and continued to do so because of what the county offered.

“While I can’t comment on why the site was originally chosen back then ... today, what keeps us in the area is an educated workforce, for sure, a very business-friendly environment where people like to live,” he said.

Long said the majority of international business came from Germany, though the county is getting more interest from companies in Asia.

“Germany kind of leads the pack.

Of those 74 international companies, over 20 of them are German,” he said. “Once you get beyond that, we obviously have a variety [of businesses from] Korea from Switzerland, France, Sweden.

We’ve had some good activity from Asian projects last year.”

Though Germany makes up about 20 percent of businesses, Long said those companies tend to be larger and employ more than half the locals working in international companies.

Keith said workers in Forsyth County serve in a variety of roles and the company serves those in a range of industries, including oil and gas, minerals, mining, chemicals and infrastructures for cities and rails.

Butter chicken a smooth, savory taste of India

By Alexander Popp

I

love Indian food. Well, to be perfectly honest, I love all food, but something about Indian cuisine keeps me coming back for more. The cuisine is full of intense flavors, galaxies of spices competing for taste bud dominance, and the savory meats and veggies that defy comprehension.

Anyone who has tasted a masterfully prepared Chicken Korma over basmati rice, a warm piece of buttery fresh Naan bread or a mouth scorching vegetarian samosa will tell you that Indian cuisine is worth coming back to again and again.

For my money, I say that nothing can beat the creamy yet savory taste of the classic dish, Murgh Makhani, also known as Butter Chicken.

If you haven’t ever ventured into the world of Indian cooking, this dish will be a perfect introduction, mixing the spice of garam masala and cayenne pepper with cream, yogurt and savory tomato sauce.

The traditional recipe from my early 80s Indian cook book, “Classic Indian Cooking” by Julie Sahni, calls for chicken cooked in a tandoori and a few other things that we are going to substitute for flavor and fun.

For this dish, I chose to mix the best parts of the classic Indian cookbook recipe with another quicker recipe from allrecipes.com.

|

THE LIFE | March 2018

Murgh Makhani (Butter Chicken) Ingredients • 2 tablespoons peanut oil (separated into two portions: one for cooking the sauce, one for cooking the chicken) • 1 finely chopped shallot • 1/2 of a chopped medium size white onion • 1/2 cup firmly packed, minced fresh coriander leaves (also known as cilantro) • 2 tablespoons butter (un-melted) • 2 teaspoons lemon juice (fresh or bottled lemon juice) • 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste (You can find this in some specialty grocery stores, usually in a small glass jar or can. But if you can’t find any, you can make your own by taking three large garlic cloves and about an inch of fresh ginger, pressing them with a garlic press or mincing them finely, and blending them in a food processor with a half teaspoon of oil) • 2 teaspoon garam masala (separated into two portions like the peanut oil.

You can find this in the spice aisle of practically any grocery store) • 1 teaspoon chili powder • 1 teaspoon ground cumin • 1 bay leaf • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper • 1 pinch salt • 1 pinch black pepper • 1/4 cup plain whole fat yogurt • 1 cup half-and-half • 1 cup tomato puree • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Even though the recipe has a lot of ingredients, it looks more daunting than it actually is.

1. First, you want to start out by gathering your dry and wet ingredients, chopping your shallot, onion and cilantro, and cutting the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil in a large sauce pan, over a medium-high heat. If you are using roasted peanut oil like I do, you’ll know it’s time to start sautéing when the oil starts getting fragrant. It will smell exactly what you would imagine roasting peanuts to smell like.

3. Sauté your shallots and white onion until they are soft and beginning to brown.

4. Stir in your lemon juice, butter, ginger garlic paste, 1 teaspoon garam marsala, chili powder, cumin and the bay leaf. Stir the mixture gently while the mixture cooks for one minute, until the spices start getting fragrant.

5. When you start really smelling the spices, add in the tomato puree and cook for two minutes while stirring.

6. Stir in the yogurt and half and half, reduce the heat to low and let the sauce

simmer while stirring frequently for 10 minutes.

7. The allrecipies.com version says that at this point you should remove your sauce from heat while you prepare your chicken, but I like to do both at the same time. Based on your skill level, the 10 minutes of simmering is plenty of time to knock-out the chicken preparation.

8. Like with the sauce preparation, you will need to heat the second tablespoon of peanut oil in a larger, heavier skillet with the heat at a medium level. Add the cut chicken thigh pieces and cook them until they are lightly browned.

9. When the chicken thigh pieces are lightly browned, reduce your heat to low and sprinkle the second teaspoon of garam masala, season with a pinch of cayenne. Stir until the chicken is coated thoroughly.

10. Now that the meat is fully seasoned, but still slightly under done, add it to the sauce and continue simmering until the largest piece of chicken is no longer pink.

11. Finishing this dish is simple. Remove it from the heat and stir in the coriander leaves (cilantro). Serve over basmati rice or another preferred grain, and make sure to have a lot of Naan bread on hand for cleaning up left over sauce.
