If museums and historical sites are on your list of things to do,

you’ll find 25 of them throughout Tuscarawas County, including

the Warther Museum, home to more than 64 model trains made

of walnut, ebony, and ivory by master carver Ernest “Mooney”

Warther (1885-2011). Visitors also can tour the Warther home and

view the raised flower beds in the gardens, and check out the But-

ton House where Warther’s wife, Freida, collected and mounted

73,000 buttons. Tours run seven days a week and include a visit to

the Warther Knife Factory, where since 1902 quality kitchen cut-

lery has been made. For more, visit www.warthers.com.

In addition, the area is home to the Performing Arts Center at Kent

State University at Tuscarawas, the Little Theatre of Tuscarawas

County, and the Tuscarawas Philharmonic. Visitors to historic Zoar

Village can revisit the 19th century as this German-style hamlet

abounds with restored private homes, shops, and historic build-

ings. The county is also home to many antique shops and special-

ty stores specializing in local open art, crafts, baskets, and candles.

Another local treasure is the Muskingum Watershed Conser-

vancy District (MWCD), which spans five counties, including Tus-

carawas and portions of 22 others. It drains into the Muskingum

River and covers more than 8,000 square miles, or 20 percent of the

state, making it Ohio’s largest wholly contained watershed. Here

you’ll find ample opportunities for boating, camping, fishing, hik-

ing, hunting, and swimming. For more, visit www.mwcd.org.

If you’re looking for a special dining experience, one of our favor-

ites is Shy Cellars, where you’re sure to enjoy one of its memo-

rable, made-from-scratch meals featuring farm-to-table/field-to-

fork ingredients. The menu changes weekly and the open kitchen

design enables diners to see their meals being prepared. The es-

tablishment also features a unique selection of beers and wines,

including dessert wines. Many of these are available as carryout

purchases in the Shy Cellars Tasting Room. For more, see the din-

ing Spotlight on page 13. And for more on Tuscarawas County,

visit http://traveltusc.com.

If you like to hike, check out the Holmes County scenic trail that

extends from Killbuck in Holmes County to Fredericksburg in

Wayne County. If you enjoy history, the area’s heritage and cul-

tural museums provide opportunities to learn about the area’s

Swiss, German, Mennonite and Amish roots. And if shopping and

dining are among your favorite things to do, check out the area’s

antique malls, auctions, flea markets, and Amish restaurants. For

more, www.holmescountychamber.com.

AmishCountryA little more than an hour from downtown Akron and less than an hour from downtown Canton in Northeast-Central Ohio is the world’s largest Amish commu-nity (about 36,000). Centered in Holmes County and extending into surrounding counties, life here is unplugged—literally; the scenery—working farms and horse-drawn buggies—is beautiful; the shopping unique—think Amish foods, antiques, handmade quilts, and handcrafted furniture; and the attractions captivating.

Did you know?James A. Garfield, (20th President), born in More-land Hills, Ohio, was our nation’s first ambidextrous president. Proficient in Latin and Greek, he used his ambidexterity to write in both languages at the same time. He was also the Union Army’s youngest general at age 30 and the last president to be born in a log cabin. He was assassinated in a Washington railroad station.

Ulysses S. Grant, (18th President), born in Point Pleasant, Ohio, was the first and only president to get a speeding ticket. He was charged $20 for speeding while riding his horse.

Warren G. Harding, (29th President), born in Blooming Grove, Ohio, was the first president to ride to his inauguration in a car and the first presi-dent to speak on the radio.

William Henry Harrison, (9th President), who moved from Virginia to North Bend, Ohio, after the War of 1812, gave the longest inaugural speech of any U.S. president; it was 8,445 words long. He was also the first president to die in office (pneumonia) after just one month on the job—the shortest term of any president.

Benjamin Harrison, (23rd President), born in North Bend, Ohio , was the grandson of William Henry Harrison and was the first president to use electricity in the White House.

Rutherford B. Hayes, (19th President), born in Delaware, Ohio, was the first president to use a telephone in the White House.

William McKinley, (25th President), born in Niles, Ohio, always wore a red carnation in the lapel of his coat or suit. In his honor, the scarlet carnation was adopted as Ohio’s state flower. Like Garfield, McKinley was assassinated, not in Washington but in Buffalo, N.Y.

William Howard Taft, (27th President), born in Cincinnati, was the first president to have a presi-dential car and was the first and only president to become Chief Justice of the United States. His wife, Lucy, was the first lady to graduate from a college—Ohio Wesleyan in Delaware.

Eight of the 43 U.S. presidents were from Ohio (see side-

McKinley—were from Northeast Ohio, which also is home

Shy Cellars

An ever-changing menu with farm-to-table/field-to-fork ingredients makes for an incredible—make that edible—experience. The dining room and wine bar are comfortable yet elegant and intimate. And the creative menu is ad-venturous without being intimidating. The made-from-scratch selections in-clude three-cheese lobster mac and cheese; Shy burgers made with ground steak, pork, and lamb; slow-roasted and grilled prime rib; award-winning steaks; shrimp and grits; the catch-of-the-day; tapas and fondues; and more. Featured dishes change regularly and the kitchen creates special vegetarian, gluten-free, or low-sodium meals upon request. Just make your wishes known when you make a reservation.

Luigi’s

Every city has an Italian restaurant that is cherished by locals. In Akron, that place is Luigi’s, opened in 1949 by Nick and Rose Ciriello. Today, Tony Ciriello, a third-generation Ciriello, and his uncle, Mickey Ciriello, oversee the 190-seat restaurant whose menu relies on home-made basics.

“We make all our own sauces and dough,” says Tony. “We roll our own meatballs, mix and case our sausage, and make lasagna layer by layer daily.” Their secret starts with fresh ingredients and ends with the constant care of fam-ily, which now includes the fifth genera-tion. Mangia!

munications 2016

Q. Why should visitors to NEO attend an Akron Symphony performance? A: The Akron Symphony plays extremely well and remains a large orchestra unlike others that became smaller to make ends meet. We’re often joined by the Akron Symphony Chorus, our Gospel Meets Symphony Choir, and guest artists and organizations. Our programming is especially community-orient-ed, often tied to visual or narrative ideas, making it exciting and unique.

Q: You’ve been music director of the Colorado Springs and San Antonio symphonies. How did such experiences prepare you for your current role? A: Colorado Springs is where I first had the freedom to experiment, resulting in staged plays with the full orchestra performing—simi-lar to projects in Akron. In San Antonio we commissioned Hispanic artists and composers, and established exchanges with Mexican cities. Such experiences help me to think about ways that the Akron Symphony can connect with our community. This year we are undertaking a major initiative supported by the Knight Foundation called Sounds of Akron. Through the downloadable Sounds of Akron app, the community submitted hundreds of sounds to help answer the question, “What does Akron sound like?” Composer Clint Needham combined these sounds with a live orchestral score to create a musical diorama of our city (to be performed April 16). Q. Who are some of your favorite musicians and styles of music?

A. As director of this orchestra, I’ve had the opportunity to lead Broadway shows, dance programs, opera, jazz-influenced works, and American songbook evenings. These experiences have helped broaden my musical taste, which has always been broad. Another example is what I’ve gained from conducting our first-ever Gospel Meets Symphony performance. I’ve learned a tremendous amount from the extraordi-nary gospel musicians in this community, and I’m still learning. I’ve gained an affinity and affection for the tradition, and I certainly know where to turn for advice on gospel music.

Q. Where do you like to go to listen to live music? A. For jazz and nonclassical music: Prime 93, Cuyahoga Falls Sheraton, BLU Jazz+, and the Akron Civic Theatre. In the summer, Lock 3 hosts diverse popular acts. The City of Akron presents outstanding music and dance in several city parks during the summer as well, including Akron Symphony Summer Pops per-formances. For classical music are EJ Thomas Hall, Guzzetta Hall at the University of Akron and the Akron

Art Museum, including outdoor concerts in nice weather. Summit Artspace has intimate and contemporary events. And the Akron-Summit County Public Main Library has a great hall for solo recitals and small ensembles. Plus it has a fine piano.

Q. When visitors ask you to recommend restaurants, what do you suggest?A. My new favorite, Nepali Kitchen, serves tasty Nepali dishes in North Hill as part of the Bhutanese refugee community in that neigh-borhood. The Blue Door in Cuyahoga Falls has great breakfasts and lunches, and now dinners, and some of the best pastry in North-east Ohio. Valley Café, next to Weathervane Playhouse, does a great home cooked breakfast. Prime 93 (formerly Anthe’s Restaurant) has a terrific and varied menu and live music. Crave and 3 Point on West Market are great for lunch or dinner. And Bricco restaurants are go-to spots for symphony patrons and musicians.

Christopher Wilkins may be from Boston, but the heart of this music director,

“Take 5” and share his thoughts on music and the community.
