FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A resounding cheer from the crowd joined the sound of conga drums and keyboard when Emanuel Gonzalez dropped to one knee and asked Erica Serna to marry him.
When Gonzalez popped the question at the foot of the stage, Serna, grinning from ear to ear, exuberantly accepted.
I think this event is bringing us together even though we may not be family.”
OZZIE RODRIGUEZ
Forsyth Te Ayuda, president
After forgoing plans to spend the day hiking, the Forsyth County couple decided to visit the Latin Festival at Cumming City Center Aug. 2. The venue change gave the couple the perfect setting to make it official.
“It’s our representation, our culture,” Serna said. “Especially at this moment in time, being Hispanic brings a greater importance.”
“Being first-generation Mexican American, it’s a lot to have roots here,” Gonzalez said. “There’s just so much with Hispanic culture.”
Gonzalez and Serna were among hundreds attending the festival, enjoying an afternoon of live music, dancing, food and other festivities. Organized by nonprofit Forsyth Te Ayuda, the celebration raised funds to support local residents in need.
An initiative of United Way of Forsyth County, Forsyth Te Ayuda connects residents with a variety of services from counseling to food assistance to teen pregnancy support, said President Ozzie Rodriguez.

Speeding vehicle tracked after pursuit on Ga. 400
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A 23-yearold Columbus, Ga., man was arrested on reckless driving and fleeing charges after a pursuit with deputies July 24.
The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office said a deputy was conducting speed enforcement on northbound Ga. 400 about 1 p.m. when a vehicle was observed speeding through a construction zone.
A laser device confirmed the vehicle was traveling at 98 mph in a 55 mph zone, the sheriff’s report said.
The vehicle allegedly accelerated after the deputy activated its lights and attempted to pull it over.
The deputy accelerated to speeds greater than 146 mph trying to catch the vehicle, the report said. Deputies lost sight of the vehicle on Ga. 400 at Bald Ridge Marina Road, and the pursuit was ended.
A camera on a deputy’s vehicle captured the vehicle’s license plate and an advisory was issued to other law enforcement officers.
A deputy located the vehicle parked at a Lake Center Parkway motel in Cumming.
Deputies contacted the motel’s manager, who provided a list of room occupants. Deputies arrested the driver, who denied being involved in a pursuit and said he was delivering DoorDash orders.

Deputies investigate burglary at Reindeer Ridge
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A burglary was reported at a Reindeer Ridge home July 27.
The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were dispatched to the home to clear the building and investigate the
reported burglary.
A 50-year-old resident said he received a digital notification that his camera system was disconnected soon after leaving town about 4 p.m. July 26.
The man assumed his internet had gone out and was not alarmed.
He returned about 5 p.m. July 27 to find his garage door opener was not working. After walking around the house, he noticed a rear basement door had been forced in, the report said.
The back door’s glass was smashed, and every room appeared to have been ransacked, deputies said.
A small jewelry case was emptied and a small gold chain was found on the floor in the master bathroom, according to the report.
Property crimes detectives investigated the scene, and deputies canvassed the neighborhood.
The incident was classified as a felony forced burglary of a home.

Alpharetta police said officers were dispatched to the hotel after the theft was reported.
A 34-year-old Taylorsville, Miss., woman said she and her mother returned to their room about 11 p.m. July 16 to find their door open. They had left about 2 p.m.

Couple reports burglary at apartment complex
ROSWELL, Ga. — A Roswell couple in the process of moving out of rental assistance housing reported a burglary July 26 at their apartment off Myrtle Street with more than $6,500 in missing belongings.
An officer said he visited the apartment after the couple arrived to find multiple items stolen, damaged or rummaged through in the common area of the unit.
The victims, a 36-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman, told the officer that they had been moving out for two weeks and were last at the apartment three days earlier.
The allegedly stolen belongings include an Apple iMac, a PlayStation 5, a Google Chromebook, perfumes, security cameras and jewelry. The couple’s loss totals more than $6,500.
While inside the apartment, the officer said there was no visible damage to the door frame or signs of forced entry. Because the internet was turned off and the security cameras were stolen, the officer said he had nothing further to report.

Vandals damage car at Kaolin Court home
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A Johns Creek man called police after finding his car had been vandalized at Kaolin Court the morning of July 25.
The owner said he found his car covered in either sand or flour, as well as eggs. The driveway had been spray painted in blue.
He told police that a mechanic told him the cost to fix and clean the car would be around $10,000. He had no camera footage of the event but said he suspects it may be someone trying to send a message to his daughter.
The man requested to press charges if the individuals were identified.

UPS to sell Sandy Springs office, shift
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — United Parcel Service is shifting employees to Alpharetta and closing a Sandy Springs office amid company-wide changes and building closures.
Jim Mayer, a UPS spokesman, said the shipping giant is executing the largest “network reconfiguration” in its history.
A Sandy Springs corporate campus, 35 Glenlake Parkway, will be sold, and 500 employees will be reassigned to the Sandy Springs headquarters, 55 Glenlake Parkway, or an Alpharetta facility at 12380 Morris Road.
Most of the employees will be moving to Alpharetta, Mayer said.
He praised the move as a boon for Alpharetta.
“The fact that they’ve chosen to expand that presence as part of this consolidation is very positive for our city,” Jewell said.
The shift could infuse new money into the Alpharetta economy, supporting surrounding businesses.
“While consolidations can sometimes result in downsizing elsewhere, in this case, Alpharetta is gaining jobs,” Jewell said. “It signals UPS’ continued commitment to Alpharetta as a strategic location for their operations.”
Alpharetta Economic Development Director Charlie Jewell said UPS is one of the city’s top 10 employers with more than 1,000 workers.

Crisis inspires creation of Johns Creek pet clinic
By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Jason Virdi remembers a sense of dread in the backseat of an Uber as he and his wife rushed their dog Ruby to the vet.
The couple was desperate. An aspiration during a surgery had led to a dangerous lung infection. It was the latest crisis in a string of cascading health issues that began with a surgery complication from a routine spay.
Virdi, who worked in finance at the time, said his mind defaulted to problem-solving. He questioned whether the driver was going fast enough or whether they would be delayed by construction. His wife Elizabeth Ruocco was distraught.
At the hospital, a team of veterinary professionals leaped into action, putting Ruby on oxygen and getting her the emergency care she needed.
“Once we got her there, I felt a lot better,” Virdi said.
Despite the excellent care, Ruby’s condition did not improve. She died about 24 hours later.
The tragedy hit hard but spurred Virdi into action.
In April, he opened Ruby Veterinary Urgent Care with the help of Chief Medical Officer Dr. Melissa Ehrlich.
“I wanted to memorialize Ruby in a way that was more meaningful,” Virdi said.
Ruby Veterinary Urgent Care, 10710 State Bridge Road, specializes in a kind of care that is in short supply, treating cats and dogs suffering from many of the most common ailments.
As an urgent care hospital, the clinic offers top tier expertise and equipment to give owners peace of mind and animals same-day relief for acute issues. It also helps alleviate the burden on veterinary emergency centers, which prioritize life saving care.
Providing care
Owners should think of Ruby
Veterinary Urgent Care as they do traditional human urgent care, Ehrlich said.
The hospital can provide lifesaving treatment, but its specialty lies in illnesses and injuries that require prompt attention but do not pose an immediate threat to an animal’s life.
Commonly seen ailments include ear, eye and skin infections; gastrointestinal issues, such as diarrhea or vomiting; ingestion of foreign objects; neurological issues including trouble walking
and seizures; broken bones; urinary problems; end-of-life care; and more.
A host of capabilities is available on premises, including an X-ray, ultrasound, anesthesia, blood work lab, endoscope, full in-house pharmacy, point-of-care technology and oxygen.
A team of about 10 nurses assist four veterinary doctors, seeing patients the same day they call.
Together, they prioritize investigating health issues and treating their root causes.
For example, dogs that sometimes present with diarrhea or vomiting may be suffering from an endocrine disorder that prevents their adrenal glands from manufacturing sufficient amounts of the hormone cortisol. By running blood work, the team can successfully identify the issue and get the pet the help it needs.
“You provide them a shot, and they start to feel so much better,” Ehrlich said.
Virdi said he decided to offer every employee of the hospital part ownership.
Sadly, Ehrlich said those working in veterinary medicine have suffered significantly higher rates of mental health issues. That’s in part because they often care so much about their work, she said.
“The way we think about it is, if the hospital does well, we want the entire team to do well,” Virdi said.
Top-notch treatment
Before Ehrlich decided to help found the clinic, she worked on the front lines of animal emergency care.
Ehrlich said she loves a calm home life, but at work, she thrives on “organized chaos.”
Since obtaining her doctorate in veterinary medicine in 2008 from UGA, she has realized her passion lies in serving as a kind of medical detective, doing work that requires constant problem solving and quick thinking.
When she worked in the emergency setting, she recalls being inundated with less severe cases that made saving pets’ lives all the more difficult. That’s because until now urgent care centers for animals have been relatively rare.
Urgent care veterinary practices are on the rise as of late, said the American Veterinary Medical Association in 2023.
Modeled after human walk-in clinics, they provide quick relief for less serious problems, often far sooner than general practitioners.

Compassionate team
Providing excellent treatment is just one piece of the puzzle, Ehrlich said.
Making their animal patients and human owners feel at ease is just as important.
That starts with professionals who have a deep and real appreciation for every animal who walks through their doors.
As a child, Ehrlich always wanted a pet.
“I had an emotional connection with animals, and I felt like they understood me, and I understood them,” she said.
After saying no again and again, her parents finally gave in and allowed her to keep a goldfish and then two red-eared slider turtles named Woody and K’tan Tan. When she got older, she adopted her first dog, a golden retriever named Dinah, who was a breeder surrender because of a neurological condition.
“She’s a special little girl,” Ehrlich said. “She loves life, and so I took her home with me because I knew that I could provide her with a home that could care for her.”
That caring mentality extends to the clinic’s design and decor.
Cute wallpapers of happy cats and dogs cover numerous walls. Wide windows allow in ample outdoor light. A special cat-screening room contains comfy beds recessed into nooks for felines to feel safe. Treats of all kinds abound on shelves throughout the clinic.
The team gave special attention to an end of life room where pets can enjoy their last moments with their humans. It features a private exit so grieving owners can leave discreetly. For dogs who are ready to depart, staff have on hand a jar of Hershey’s Kisses.
“Because they can’t have them when they are healthy, we let them enjoy a goodbye kiss,” Ehrlich said.
The clinic may be a veterinary facility, but staff recognize the importance of making owners feel comfortable, nurse Keri Wheeler said.
“I like to take care of the clients just as much as I like to take care of their pets,” Wheeler said. “Everybody deserves to have an understanding of what’s going on.”
Information can go a long way in alleviating owners’ anxiety, so Wheeler and staff try to explain what they are doing in simple, everyday terms.
“When I’m talking to an owner, I speak with transparency, and I’m very honest with them,” she said. “We do a lot of education and hand holding.”
Looking forward
Just months after opening, Ruby Veterinary Urgent Care has already garnered significant attention from local pet owners.
The clinic has won the hearts of many clients, amassing an impressive collection of 40 Google reviews, all of which are five stars.
“The most caring and compassionate vet we’ve ever been to,” said one client who took their senior dog to the clinic. “We genuinely thought it might be the end, and we were heartbroken and afraid. From the moment we walked in, the entire team … treated Sam like he was part of their own family.”
Virdi said he has found immense satisfaction in the hospital’s achievements, and he is now looking forward to the future.
Since Ruby’s death, he has adopted a second bernedoodle, Rosie, and has had one daughter with his wife. But Ruby’s memory will live on and perhaps be carried forward as he hopes to open future urgent care clinics under her name.
“Our aspirations are big,” he said.

About 10 percent of the county’s population is Hispanic, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Rodriguez said much of that substantial population originally migrated to the county to work in its poultry industry or support the 1996 Olympics.
The festival brought together numerous heritages, including people representing cultures from Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and other countries.
Despite their differences, they share much in common.
“We’re very family orientated,” Rodriguez said. “Our culture is keeping close to family, and I think this event is bringing us together even though we may not be family.”
About a dozen businesses and organizations dotted the turf event space with tents and booths, offering information to visitors.
Julie Brennan, secretary for a local chapter of Altrusa International, said her organization was there to support their community. A table under their tent was lined with children’s books, which they eagerly handed out to kids and parents.
Brennan grew up in a Spanish-speaking household and learned English by reading books. She now can recite from memory parts of Dr. Seuss’ ‘Yertle the Turtle.’
“I remember them reading to me out loud,” she said. “I memorized what my mom was reading to me.”
Language can serve as a powerful unifying force, and that is in part why Forsyth Te Ayuda is so important, she said.
Brennan, a Te Ayuda member, said the group has a special ability to work within the county’s Hispanic community.
“In a perfect world, everybody would talk to one another, but they don’t,” she said. “It’s all about connection, communication and moving forward.”

My personal Mount Rushmore of bosses
Maybe it’s a case of wishing I could be heading for Sturgis, South Dakota to attend the annual Harley-Davidson biker gathering. Perhaps it’s more wishful thinking, wanting to visit one of the three states I have never been to (North Dakota and Iowa are the other two).
But more than likely, with all the personal family tragedies of the past few years, there was inspiration to say “thank you” before the opportunity was gone forever.
Tanya Tucker quite poignantly sang “Bring Me My Flowers Now While I’m Living.” It made me reflect on people who made a profound impact on me while I was working in the pharmaceutical industry from 1981 until being “sunsetted” (that’s the term for retiring an old man) in 2024. I was always a believer that compensation was relative, but that the real important elements of job satisfaction was who you work for and who you’re working with.
It’s natural to turn thoughts to bad bosses, be it a Chris, Jim, Jeff or Bob. But, in retrospect, those individuals are irrelevant when it comes to the benefit of interacting with high quality individuals.
My personal Mount Rushmore of bosses
is comprised of four individuals who any of you dear readers have ever heard of. But to me, their impact was invaluable and inspired me to recognize them with a delivery of flowers while I’m still living, even though two of these individuals are no longer living.
So, even though you don’t know of these four individuals, I feel compelled to share what they taught me and why they will forever be in my heart.
My Mount Rushmore of bosses and some random thoughts:
Maurice T. Phipps: Everyone called him “Morry”, and his leadership inspired me to strive to be more than an effective drug salesman. “You have a lot of potential, Tiger,” he once told me. “But you’re not going to reach that potential by staying in Bakersfield.” That was a sobering thought. Leave my hometown where I knew everyone and was extremely successful. Morry taught me to sell by focusing on what was important to the customer. He made work fun. He hired me in 1983, and I soaked up his wisdom like a sponge. He smoked a pipe that he could never seem to get lit. I once marveled that Morry, in his 60s, had been a manager fore more than 30 years, figuring I could never do that job for so long. Amazing that I was a manager for 34 years and I thought of Morry every time I worked with a rep, channeling him with advice that stood a test of time.
Clair Draper: He was friends with Morry and promoted me to a hospital sales rep position which required a move to Portland, Oregon. He was my boss’s boss, but Clair and I formed a special bond that lasted until I left CIBA-Geigy in 1991. At an awards trip, we were at Pebble Beach, where Jack Nicklaus was tuning up the course for the US Open. I had met Jack in my sports writing days, and I asked Clair if he’d like to meet him. I asked Jack if my “dad” could take a picture. Ever gracious, Nicklaus summoned his son and said: “Get in here Dad. Jackie will take the photo.” It’s a prized memory that sits in my office. Clair encouraged me to become a manager and was always there for me.
Steve Logan: He hired me as a manager in 1987, and I got off a plane in New Orleans in early July and was flabbergasted at the humidity. I descended the airplane stairs and was soaked with sweat before I retrieved my luggage. Steve taught me to be a leader, and I needed help. The dysfunctional team I inherited ranked 36th in the country. Unfortunately, there were only 36 teams in the nation. Steve taught me how to get more and build a team. His “You don’t become a good manager until you go through the process of firing someone,” might seem harsh. But it was spot on and making personnel changes led to the team finishing second when I finished with CIBA-
Geigy. It was Steve’s coaching that made me better.
Gary Stone: In 2006, a victim of a mass layoff and in the middle of a job search, I had a phone interview with Dey Labs. Amazingly, Gary was looking for a manager in Atlanta. He had been a trainer and coach when I went thorough manager training. He was an outstanding person who hired me at Dey. Again, it was a team that needed “fixing,” and Gary’s support enabled the team to make great strides. I have always considered getting to work for Gary as a great Mulligan.
Morry and Clair have both passed away. One of my life’s greatest golf experiences was playing in Arizona with them after they both had retired. It was hard to hit a ball with tears of laughter clouding my eyes. I recently called Steve. He’s in his late 70s and is suffering from a heart ailment. Gary is still in the same house he has lived in for 50 years. He leads his golf group, and I’ll bet his golf group feels blessed to have him around.
I know I felt blessed after our 30-minute catch-up call.
