NeighborhoodNews 9 Ardsley Living Notes Neighborhood By Catherine Haley Dear Neighbors, The Ardsley Park Chatham Crescent Neighborhood Association Board of Directors is thrilled to be included in this inaugural issue of Ardsley Living magazine. This is a unique forum for our neighborhood to express ourselves and come together. As residents of this wonderful, historic neighborhood we should all be proud of everything happening here. Some of the main goals of both this new magazine, and the Ardsley Park Chatham Crescent Neighborhood Association, is to increase awareness of events, new local businesses, and any issues which may be uniquely concerning to us in the Ardsley Park/Chatham Crescent area. The APCCNA also sponsors and organizes many events throughout the year, many of which are free and open to all residents. If you have not already attended one of these great events, check out our Annual Oyster Roast next month! You can find more info on this event listed on the advertisement. The APCCNA is 100% supported by membership dues and the generosity of our neighbors. We maintain a shoe-string budget, and try to stretch it as far as possible. Each year we throw several events, including, but certainly not limited to: Music in the Park concert series We invite mainly local bands and entertainers to come out and entertain the community. And, weather willing, everyone brings a picnic and enjoys the music in one of our lovely parks, and hopefully meets a new neighbor or two! Seasonal Movie Nights A family-friendly movie screened outside, usually in Teidemann Park. Great for kids and adults alike! The Annual Oyster Roast Our only event that you have to pay for, but it’s definitely worth it! Once you're in its all free…music, beverage (of the adult and regular variety!), and of course oysters and BBQ! Tickets range from $25 for members to $35 for non-members. Holiday Party Santa, Trolley Rides to see the lights in the neighborhood, snacks, and festivities…a seriously fun evening for all! These events are a hit every year, and we hope to keep doing them for many years to come. In addition to the events that we oversee, there is much more behind the scenes. We have board members who January constantly monitor zoning issues, criminal activity, real estate sales trends, legislative issues, and just about anything else that affects our community. We also are very closely tied to the Garden Club, some of the truly unsung heroes of our neighborhood. The members of the Garden Club have been making our parks, lanes, and sidewalks beautiful for years, in addition to running the Annual Tour of Homes. We also distribute a newsletter to our members via email, but be sure to keep an eye out for portions of our newsletter in upcoming issues of this magazine. The APCCNA Board is very excited to work in conjunction with N2 Publishing to reach a larger number of our neighbors, because as of right now less than 1/3 of households in the community are members. Please take a look at our membership application at the bottom of the next page. Yearly dues are only $35/ household! It gives you direct access to everything happening in your neighborhood, as well as invitations to all of our events. Every membership counts, and helps us do more for our community! If you have any questions, or if you would like to join, please contact [email protected], or feel free to contact me directly at caeisenmann@ gmail.com. Again, please consider filling out the membership application. Our main goal is to make our neighborhood even better and to continue to foster the feeling of community that makes Ardsley Park/Chatham Crescent the best neighborhood in Savannah! Thank you in advance for helping to make our community great!

Cody and AJ own and operate The Mint Green Tag Sale Company, a full-service estate sale business which keeps them really busy. They are brave enough to tackle anyone’s attic even in the Savannah summers! When it comes to music, they like an eclectic mix; everything from Muddy Waters to Dolly Parton. Being small business owners, they have a busy lifestyle and are childfree by choice, though they do enjoy spending time with their niece and nephews. Get to know your neighbors better by having your family featured in the next available issue! Email us at [email protected]. Some of their favorite activities include watching NFL Football, traveling, leadership development and networking with fellow entrepreneurs and small business owners. Cody is a graduate of Leadership Savannah, and AJ is a graduate of Leadership Southeast Georgia as well as Step-Up Savannah's Neighborhood Leadership Academy. Mikimoto and The Commodore walk Cody and AJ daily at McCauley Park down the street from their house. Such good puppies! Since they have such a busy schedule these foodies love to eat out a lot! Some of their favorite restaurants are Green Truck Pub, Moon River Brewery, and Huc-A-Poo's. Because their schedules are jam packed with all the business and civic activities they are involved in, family dinner staples include frozen pizza and take-out. When they aren’t working, they love cruising and are loyal Jacksonville Jaguars fans! Don't laugh; they'll be good one day. Currently their favorite TV shows include Boardwalk Empire and Hell on Wheels. RODYS AUDIO WAREHOUSE VOTED BEST AUDIO/VIDEO STORE IN SAVANNAH AGAIN!

Alston, who is already attending Columbia University, would like to major in English. Isabel also hopes to simultaneously dance for a professional ballet company and go to college. Alston and Isabel have been dancing since the age of three. These days, ballet takes up most of their time, but they both served as acolytes at Christ Church Episcopal in Savannah when they were younger. Both girls are avid readers and enjoy fashion. Their maternal grandmother suggested that Alston audition for the Nutcracker when she was three years old and Alston was a natural from the beginning. She loved performing right from the start and loved ballet. Isabel followed in her footsteps when she was old enough to begin ballet, and also had a natural affinity for ballet. Young Achievers For the past two summers, Isabel has attended The School of American Ballet’s summer intensive program for five weeks in NYC. She has also placed in the top three at the regional level of the Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP), the world’s largest ballet scholarship competition. She has qualified twice to compete at the finals of the YAGP in NYC. Out of thousands of young dancers competing, she was one of nineteen twelve-year-olds from around the word and one of only six American twelve-year-olds to qualify to compete in the finals of the prestigious competition. Meet Alston and Isabel Macgill! By Mary Margaret Macgill Photos: Evelyn Rowell Photography . Josh Japperpics Photography continued... Hey kids – do you want to be the superstar of the neighborhood? All you have to do is ask your parents to email [email protected] and answer some questions in order to be featured in the next available issue! We live in the house that our father, Frank Macgill, lived in while he was growing up in Savannah. We bought the house from his mother, renovated, and moved in. Alston was three years old and Isabel was just a few weeks old. The Macgill family members include Frank and Mary-Margaret Macgill, (married 18 years) and Alston and Isabel Macgill. We have a large, lazy, eleven-year-old orange tabby cat named Gwinnett (after Button Gwinnett, one of the Georgia Representatives who signed The Declaration of Independence) and Wisp, a year-and-a-half-old tortoise shell cat. She is named after Will o’ the Wisp, a ballet from which excerpts are performed by the New York City Ballet. Isabel, who is thirteen years old, is a freshman in high school at Carlisle High School in Carlisle, PA. When she still lived in Savannah full-time, she attended Esther F. Garrison School of Visual and Performing Arts. She left home at eleven to seek pre-professional ballet training. She lived with a ballet teacher outside Atlanta during the week and came home to Savannah on weekends. Isabel now attends Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet in Carlisle, PA. Many consider this one of the nation’s best schools for classical ballet training. Alston (seventeen years old – she just turned 17 in September) attended Oglethorpe Charter Middle School in Savannah and is now a freshman at Columbia University, in New York City. She has lived away from home, attending ballet boarding school since she was twelve years old. She currently attends The School of American Ballet, at Lincoln Center in New York City. This is the ballet school from which the New York City Ballet draws its members. The New York City Ballet is widely accepted to be the preeminent ballet company in America.

I would definitely say that I've put in many hours of hard work and dedication to get to where I am now.” 17 ABOUT LUFBURROW REALTY CO, LLC A Tradition of Trust Alston, who is in her fourth year at The School of American Ballet (SAB), was honored to dance the lead role of Odette, the white swan of the Swan Lake ballet. This performance was in May of 2014 at the school’s annual workshop performance at Lincoln Center. It was the 50th Anniversary of the SAB’s workshop performances and therefore, Alston’s performance was filmed by Live from Lincoln Center and will air on PBS this winter. Alston: “One amazing experience I've had through ballet is getting to perform Odette from Swan Lake in the School of American Ballet's annual Workshop. I performed a pas de deux (step of two) with a great partner on stage at Lincoln Center in New York City. It was such a special opportunity to be selected to perform a lead role, and it was also incredibly fun! NeighborhoodNews Matthew Lufburrow | 912-272-4700 The girls on keeping balance and who they admire: Alston: “Balance is hard to find, but I think its key. I would not be able to only dance all day, no matter how much I love it. I go to school part time at Columbia University, and taking fewer courses makes the workload easier to manage on top of my ballet schedule. I am also sure to make time for my friends and myself.” Isabel: “I try to have a life outside of dance, even if it means just doing one thing with my friends every day.” Alston: “I admire all of my ballet teachers, Veronica Moretti Niebuhr in particular. She's been my teacher and mentor for as long as I can remember. Veronica has always pushed me to be my best and want "more," from my dancing and myself. She's instilled in me such a strong work ethic and she showed me by example what a passion for dance looks like. “ Isabel: “My first ballet teacher, Veronica Moretti Niebuhr, was an inspiration and driving force behind my love for ballet.” Sally Lufburrow | 912-844-0587 Stephen Lufburrow | 912-272-6262 Lufburrow Realty Co., LLC is proud to be the oldest real estate company in Savannah.

By Leah Bell Hi! My name is Rory and I am a Tricolor Cavalier King Charles and I am the definition of “Princess.” The Club has been in existence for many years. While not listed in the 1971 - 73 Savannah Area Council of Garden Clubs, Inc. book, it was re-organized in 1973 under the leadership of Mrs. Shelby Myrick, Sr. I celebrated by 2nd birthday in October! I am owned and loved by Leah Bell. She begged her parents for almost a year until I was finally delivered as a Christmas present in 2012. I arrived in Atlanta via Delta Cargo. I was named after Rory Gilmore, who is a favorite T.V. character of Leah’s. I can also be called “Snory Rory” since I tend to breathe deep when I sleep. I am very talented as well, I can make the leap into my crate for car trips without any assistance and I travel just about everywhere with Leah. During my house breaking time, Leah ran out of puppy diapers and I to borrow her underwear. Very fancy. Leah has been asked if I am spoiled. She prefers the term “well-loved.” I am a very happy dog either way! Do you have a pet and would like to share his/her story? Then email [email protected] to have them featured in the next available issue! Dogs, cats, horses, fish, and any other type of animals are welcome!

Citizens join by being sponsored by a member and attending two meetings. The Club is affiliated with the Georgia State Garden Club whose mission is: Beautification, Conservation and Education. In turn, we are also part of the National Garden Clubs of America with a membership of over 200,000. Their mission is: Education, Resources, and Participation. Each year, The Club joins with the Historic Savannah Foundation and Christ Church Anglican to welcome visitors from all over the country during their house and garden tour. The funds raised by this event are put back into the neighborhood. Previous projects have included erecting the beautiful period light fixtures in our many parks, replacing park benches, installing a pet/people fountain in Tiedeman Park, reconstructing and repairing the pillars at Washington and Bull, Washington and Waters, and Abercorn and Victory. We have also contributed time and funds to further the Victory Drive Project.

[email protected] Meet Jerry Orlikowski What type/year/model is you Motorcycle? Why did you choose that particular bike? 2013 Harley-Davidson CVO Road King (110th Year Anniversary Limited Number Model) I choose this bike because it is a limited issue bike with a 110 Screaming Eagle engine. How long have you been riding and what got you started? I started riding dirt bikes in the 1970s while living in Michigan. When we moved to Savannah in 2009 and the weather was so much nicer and I was now retired, I decided to take a rider course and purchase a street bike. Do you ride alone or with friends/spouse? My wife Barbara rides with me occasionally – mostly we go out to breakfast at the Squat & Gabble over in SC. I have two friends that like to ride and we try to do a 100 +/- mile weekly ride that includes breakfast or lunch. What has been your favorite trip while riding? We have made two trips to ride the Smoky Mountains in Northern GA and SC. The most memorable and exciting ride I have done is “The Tail of the Dragon” at Deal’s Gap. I have included a picture of the t-shirt. That ride is famous in the motorcycle world and “The Tree of Shame” is located there for all the crashed parts of those that failed to successfully make that ride. Do you belong to any motorcycle clubs? No but would love to meet other riders in our neighborhood. Why do you love riding a motorcycle? Just like most other riders – for the freedom and exhilaration it provides. And because I still have the ability and balance to ride at 73. Resident Recipe Any safety tips you would like to share? Always, always be alert and watchful of the cars and trucks that share the road with you. When riding in a group or with a friend use one of the rider to rider communication systems that are available. The cost is well worth it. Take rider courses and do not ride above what you believe your skill level is.

HISTORY Ardsley OF By Stathy Stathopoulos Before the evolution and modernization of malls, shopping centers and the one stop shopping stores, there were the neighborhood convenience stores. Transportation was in its infancy and folks relied on public transportation or simply walked everywhere. Small businesses were located in the heart of neighborhoods which provided the day-to-day necessities and were the lifeline for the folks in neighborhoods. This wonderful old building located on the corner of 48th and Habersham Street is now home to Yia Yia’s Kitchen. This building has housed a variety services for folks in the neighborhood for nearly a century. It was built sometime in the early twenties and has been a staple in the Ardsley Park neighborhood since. Based on stories my father Atha Stathopoulos shared about this building, my Great Uncle Efstathios Stathopoulos who emigrated from Greece was the catalyst to the buildings location. The first businesses housed were Well’s Pharmacy on the corner, Atlantic & Pacific Grocery Store (better known as A&P grocery store) in the middle and the end was a barber shop. Over the years, A&P moved to several locations including 39th & Price then before closing their doors at the corner of Abercorn & Victory. Many businesses have served the community over the years at this location; Phar- macies, grocery, barber shops, convenience stores, church offices, a jewelry store, beauty solon, pet groomer, financial/investment firm, a real estate company and caterer. The most prominent and memorable businesses that I recall (you may as well) operating in this building were Oliver Drugs on the corner and Little “J” in the middle store. Owners of Oliver Drugs, Dr. & Mrs. Woody Oliver, lived above the stores for around 30 or so years. The Little “J” was a convenience store run by Johnny Constantine and was a very popular hangout for the Savannah High School and Charles Ellis School students. My own children have the fondest memories of their Papou (Greek for grandfather) taking them after church on Sundays for slushies there. During the early to middle 1920s, Savannah’s city limits ended somewhere between 50th & 54th Street. Along Habersham Street ran a trolley car from the end of the city to the heart of downtown Savan- nah. Ardsley Park was part of the original Southside until Savannah expanded its city limits to Stephenson Avenue and eventually to the Bull River by the Savannah Mall. When you drive or walk around Ardsley Park, Baldwin Park, Daffin Park and surrounding areas, you will find many buildings that are still standing and operated by small businesses. This is a testament of a time when folks were neighbors and small businesses were a big part of life in the neighborhoods. I recall the stories my father shared with me and witnessing the changes I have seen growing up around the Ardsley Park and Baldwin Park area, it is funny how things have changed but have now come back full circle. Savannah High School was the most prominent high school in Savannah, a fixture in Ardsley Park and where many folks graduated from. The school later closed and the neighborhood was is decline. With rejuvenation having taken place over the years and Ardsley Park This building, owned by my family since it was built, has played a major role in the Ardsley Park/Chatham Crescent providing many services and necessities as a staple within the neighborhood. My goal is to continue the legacy of all the small businesses that have once provided for the Ardsley Park neighbors and all folks of Savannah. Savannah has become very diverse with ethnicities and different cultures, and the emergence of specialty food stores throughout Savannah, however there was the absences of real authentic Greek, Mediterranean and European foods. To me, Ardsley Park with its wonderful folks and other surrounding neighbors exemplifies the true essence of what neighborhoods and small businesses were and have always been about. That is why, we decided to open Yia Yia’s Kitchen in our Ardsley Park building and hopefully bring something special to the neighborhood. Yia Yia’s Kitchen is an authentic Greek, Mediterranean and European bakery deli & grocery store business. We definitely want to thank everyone in Ardsley Park and Savannah for embracing and welcoming Yia Yia’s Kitchen to the neighborhood. Everyone is always invited and welcomed to visit Yia Yia’s Kitchen on the corner of 48th and Habersham St. 26 NeighborhoodNews Ardsley Living January January Ardsley Living NeighborhoodNews 27 Around the town Happenings in Ardsley TailsSpin – owned and operated by Ardsley residents Jusak Bernard and Jeffrey Manley.

Review restaurant Photos by Diane Dodd Photography RUTH’S CHRIS STEAKHOUSE Ardsley Living hosted its first social event at upscale Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, November 3rd. Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse is located at 111 W. Bay Street. It is the largest luxury steakhouse in the United States and is open for dinner to the public as well as private dining managed by Randi Hempel, Sales and Marketing Manager. We had some fantastic fare! The beef skewers were the biggest hit. Each bite was perfectly cooked and deliciously seasoned. USDA prime steak seared at 1800° Fahrenheit with just a touch of butter…..yum. Nobody does steak like Ruth’s Chris! Other favorites were the stuffed mushrooms and chilled asparagus with spicy dipping sauce. Our bartenders were so attentive and very talented at entertaining, creating drinks ordered off the vintage-inspired cocktail selection. If you love wine, Ruth’s Chris is the place to go. The wine cellar boasts over 200 different types of wines, many available by the glass, and will nicely accompany and entrée you wish; steak, shrimp, chicken, fish, lamb or lobster. Ruth’s Chris uses only the freshest and finest ingredients, like USDA Prime Our party was in the Red Piano Lounge and it was cozy and elegant and a great place to make some new connections. Ruth’s Chris is a great place for a group event or gathering or special occasions. Exactly what you would expect from an upscale restaurant such as Ruth’s Chris. All of the residents gave it 5 stars and are looking forward to another visit! Fun Fact: How did they get the name? Chris Steak House was founded on February 27, 1927 by New Orleans entrepreneur Chris Matulich. It seated 60 people, and had no parking lot. In 1965, divorced single mother Ruth Fertel, realizing she needed to earn more money to send her teenage sons to college, mortgaged her house to purchase the restaurant, On her first day, May 24, 1965, she sold 35 steaks at $5 each. Fertel personally took a hand in every part of the business. She had to teach herself how to butcher steak, and despite being just five-foot-two and 110-pounds, would saw up 30-pound short loins by hand until she could afford an electric band saw. She staffed her restaurant with single mothers, saying that they were hard workers and reliable. For many years, Chris' Steak House was the only upscale restaurant in New Orleans with an all-female wait staff. In early 1976, shortly after signing a new ten-year lease on the restaurant, a fire destroyed the building. Fertel had recently acquired a second property nearby to rent out as party space. Within seven days, she had relocated the restaurant to its new location a few blocks 29 away and re-opened it, expanding to 160 seats in the process. The sales agreement with Matulich prevented her from using the original name at any other address, so she named the new restaurant Ruth's Chris Steak House in order to keep some continuity with the previous location. She admitted later to Fortune Magazine, "I've always hated the name, but we've always managed to work around it." Ardsley Living would like to thank Randi and the Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse staff for a great evening!

But if you’re a woman, you must be particularly diligent, for a variety of reasons. And that means you’ll need to know just what to expect from Social Security. Why should you, as a woman, pay extra attention to Social Security? For one thing, women often take time off from their careers to care for children and older parents, so they may accumulate less money in employer-sponsored retirement accounts, such as 401(k) plans. And women still live several years longer than men, according to the Census Bureau. Clearly, then, you need to get the most you can from Social Security. To do so, you will need to consider at least three key factors: This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. Will You Get the Most from Your Social Security Benefits? Deciding when to take your social security benefits is one of the most important retirement decisions you’ll ever make. It will likely be an essential component of your retirement income strategy, so it’s important to determine what factors will determine your benefit amount. Your informed decisions on timing, spousal benefits and other factors can make a significant difference on the lifetime benefits you receive. Lean about your social security options and the effect they have on your overall retirement income strategy. Call or visit today Mathew Cremeans Financial Advisor 444 Johnny Mercer Blvd. Suite C Savannah, GA 31410 912-898-3691 HealthyLiving January Ardsley Living the top benefits of AGE — You can start taking retirement benefits as early as 62, but your benefits may be reduced by up to 30% unless you wait until your “full retirement age,” which is likely 66 or 67. If you delay taking benefits until 70, your monthly benefits may be up to a third larger than if you started collecting Social Security at your full retirement age. You’ll need to weigh a variety of factors, such as family longevity, income from employersponsored retirement plans and your anticipated financial needs, in determining when you should start taking Social Security. Grass-Fed food Article Source: www.healthguidance.org When thinking about nutrition you can get pretty deep thinking about all the factors that ultimately result in how healthy your diet is and how much you're going to benefit from it. The rabbit hole goes as deep as you want it to and if you aren't careful you can get lost in a sea of health advice and quackery. EMPLOYMENT — If you work while receiving Social Security benefits before you reach full retirement age, your benefits will be reduced by $1 for every $2 you earn over an annual limit, which generally increases each year. In the year you reach full retirement age, your benefits will be reduced by $1 for every $3 you earn over the limit before your birthday. But once you reach full retirement age, your benefits will no longer be adjusted for earned income. MARITAL STATUS — As a spouse, you can generally receive Social Security payments based on your own earnings record or collect a spousal benefit of up to 50% of your husband's Social Security benefit. The benefit will be reduced if you start taking it before your full retirement age. To start collecting Social Security spousal benefits, you must be at least 62 years old and your husband must also have filed for his own benefits. No matter how much Social Security you ultimately receive, it’s almost certainly not going to be enough to provide all the income you’ll need. So during your working years, try to contribute as much as you can to your IRA and your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. At the same time, look for other investment opportunities. And when you reach retirement, create a withdrawal strategy that allows you to stretch out the income you receive from your investments for as long as you can. By saving and investing as much as possible during your working years, maximizing your Social Security payments and carefully managing your financial assets when you’re retired, you can help improve your chances of enjoying the retirement lifestyle you deserve. 35 For example, you might spend a lot of time thinking about what you eat, but how much time do you spend thinking about what that ate? Why Grass-Fed? When a cow eats, this provides it with the raw materials its body uses to convert into tissues. Literally cows 'are what they eat', and thus when you eat them, you get more or less nutritional value based on what they had been fed. When it comes to selecting a cow's diet, farmers will pick one of two options. The first is grass, and the second is grains. And the general consensus is that those cows fed with grass will benefit you more in terms of nutrition. Look at it this way: cows evolved eating grass and wouldn't likely have had much access to grains of any kind in the wild. As such, grass will naturally contain all of the things necessary to promote optimal health, and that means that those cows will be better for your health in turn. The Health Benefits of Grass-Fed Beef Cows that eat grass will have a higher content of omega 3 fatty acid as compared with cows fed with grains. Specifically, grass-fed beef contains roughly 2-5 times more omega 3 than grain-fed which could help to reduce blood pressure, arthritis, depression and asthma while also supporting healthy brain function. The content of saturated fat in grass-fed beef is also superior. Grass-fed contains higher levels of stearic acid with lower amounts of palmitic and myristic acid. All you need to know is that this is marginally better for cholesterol. Grass-fed beef is also higher in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Carotenoids for instance (a precursor to vitamin A) are found in high quantities in grass and not at all in grains. Thus grass-fed beef will contain more carotenoids in their tissue which means you'll get more carotenoids when you eat them. Appearance Did you know that you can actually tell whether a steak came from grass-fed or grain-fed beef just by looking at it? This proves just how true it is that 'you are what you eat' and it makes for a good party trick when eating out. The carotenoids in grass for instance are partly what give it its color, which is why a cow that has eaten lots of grass will actually result in a slightly yellower steak. This makes it appear also slightly lighter though you might have to see two sideby-side in order to tell. It's also true that grass-fed steak tends to have a slightly healthier looking glaze on top – you can literally see that the steak is healthier. 36 Ardsley Living January RUTH’S CHRIS STEAK HOUSE 37 January Ardsley Living IN SAVANNAH’S HISTORIC DISTRICT Special Occasions – Birthdays, Anniversaries, Retirement, Graduations Private Dining – Daytime Meetings, Luncheons, Business Dinners, Rehearsal Dinners and more.
