HARVEST DAY PROCESS The process starts by cutting down 20-foot tall stems, called bines, from the hopyard. The team stacks the bines in a wagon and delivers them to the harvester machine. Bines are tied to a suspended conveyor belt and pulled into the machine one at a time. It separates the hop cones from the bines and they fall into collection tubs. The team loads large pallets of hops immediately onto a refrigerated truck bound for a processing plant in Wadsworth. This cycle continues throughout the day until the entire yard is empty.

POST-HARVEST At the processing plant, the hops get dried and pelletized like guinea pig food and placed in large commercial grade ziplock bags for cold storage. Second Sons delivers the processed hops to the brewer.

HOPYARD PREP AND CARE Later, the team removes twigs, leaves and other leftover debris from the yard. The rhizomes, or roots, stay in the ground and go dormant. The team keeps the soil clean (free of weeds) and consistently moist until sprouts show up in the spring. While the plants grow, Bryan sprays protective treatments to avoid fungus and insect issues. A hop sample gets sent to a lab in Wisconsin to measure the alpha acids â€“ something thatâ€™s important to show the brewers and solidify a harvest date.

Canton Lifestyle | October 2020

ARTICLE ALISON MATAS | PHOTOGRAPHY TERRY FRAVEL

Play on at 1899 Indoor Golf AT 1899 INDOOR GOLF, IT’S ALWAYS A PERFECT DAY TO PLAY 18 HOLES. That’s because you can golf the world’s best courses year-round — without ever leaving Stark County. The area’s premier indoor golf experience offers virtual access to more than 70 championship courses, along with upscale bar food, handcrafted cocktails and live music. Brian Lindenbaum, co-founder of 1899 Golf and managing partner of the Canton-area location, brought the concept to Belden Village two years ago, after seeing research about the popularity of golf in Ohio and the impressive skill level of the players. Across the state, the average handicap of Ohio players is the lowest in the country, and the average amount of rounds played is among the highest in the country. Despite the winter weather, Ohio ranks fifth in the nation, coming in just behind Texas. “People in Ohio love golf and play a lot of it and Canton didn't have any indoor golf solutions,” Lindenbaum said. The name 1899 is a nod to the year the first public golf course, Ottawa Park in Toledo, was established in Ohio. But while 1899 Golf embraces the history of the game, it also treats its customers to the most progressive software in the industry. All the courses are powered by TrackMan technology, which is used by the world’s top players and coaches to track impact and ball-flight factors, such as speed and carry. The technology also brings dozens of simulated courses to Stark County golfers. Some of the favorite courses to play at 1899 Golf are Muirfield Village in Columbus, The Old Course at St. Andrews Links in Scotland and PGA National in Palm Beach, Fla. And more courses are coming. “There are a few very exciting courses in the pipeline we hope to have this winter that will no doubt get the most play,” Lindenbaum teased. For those looking to improve their skills, the accuracy of the TrackMan equipment can help. So can resident PGA professional Tony Adcock. Adcock has taught golf in the region for 25 years and offers one-hour lessons at 1899 Golf. CONTINUED >

The feel inside 1899 Golf was designed to be “cocktail lounge meets country-club casual,” with lots of wood, dark green and brass. With five simulators and a bar area, there is plenty of space for large groups to take over for the night in a socially distanced manner. Groups looking for more privacy can book the simulator hidden in the VIP speakeasy. To go along with its world-class courses, 1899 Golf also serves up elevated bar food, local beer, wine and craft cocktails, making it a great date-night option for golfers and non-golfers alike. “We have a lot of regulars that just come for our food and cocktails and never swing a club,” Lindenbaum said. The Canton kitchen was recently revamped to allow for new menu items. One of the most popular items lately has been wings, coated in a choice of flavorful dry rubs. Lindenbaum recommends the signature wing with a cinnamon chipotle rub for the delicious combination of heat and sweet, although you can’t go wrong with one of 1899’s flatbread pizzas, or the new charcuterie board. At the bar, the staff at 1899 Golf serve up a rotation of Ohio craft beer and golf-themed cocktails made with handsqueezed juices, thanks to mixologist and bar manager Kate Lewis. (Think “Inverness” and “Double Eagle.”) The whiskey, scotch, tequila and Mezcal menus are extensive. Can’t choose? You can order a flight instead. And if you don’t drink, don’t worry about being left out — the staff will invent a special “mocktail” just for you. For people who are looking for more than great food and golfing, 1899 Golf also features live-music events, wine and bourbon nights, and movie nights for kids, complete with 14-foot movie screens. 1899 Golf in Canton is one of two locations in the state. Lindenbaum is excited about opening a third and fourth spot somewhere in Ohio next year. “We've seen the community really embrace 1899 and spread the word to their friends and family,” Lindenbaum said. “It has been amazing to see the growth in rounds played and foot traffic in general.” The Canton location of 1899 Golf is at 4700 Everhard Road NW in Jackson Township and is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Expanded hours are available upon requests. Reservations to play can be made at 1899golf.com. Clubs are available on-site for rent if needed.

TELL US ABOUT PJ’S AND THE CONNECTION TO

The stories they tell about different recipes and where they came from creates a bonding experience through food. In the late 70s, I was in Finland to run the Helsinki marathon. One woman, related to a gentleman I was traveling with, cooked us dinner on a wood-burning stove. She made salmon that we caught earlier in the day in the river behind her house. She wrapped it in cheesecloth and poached it in broth with fresh dill. While she cooked, she recounted her story of what she went through during the war. I don’t know if it was the flavor or the memory, but it was that good. In those moments, the meal becomes magical. WHAT’S THE BEST-KEPT SECRET ABOUT PJ’S? Our chicken sandwich. We make it with chicken thigh. People are so caught up with the chicken breast and white meat that they’ve forgotten the taste of the dark meat. We’ve had a lot of people respond positively after they eat the sandwich. WHAT’S THE MOST ABSTRACT INGREDIENT YOU’VE EVER WORKED WITH? I had the hardest time trying to master working with conch while living in the Caribbean. It’s an art form that requires a slow poach, but it’s easy to overcook and make it tough or rubbery. You can use it in soups, toss with pasta, or use it so many other ways.

THE SUMMIT CHURCH PARTNERS WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND BUSINESSES TO CREATE NORTH CANTON CARES PANTRY

Canton Lifestyle | October 2020

WHEN THE SUMMIT CHURCH WAS GIVEN A BUILDING FREE AND CLEAR IN NORTH CANTON, THE MISSION WAS TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. AFTER A FEW YEARS OF DOING VARIOUS COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS, THE CHURCH WAS GIVEN THEIR GREATEST GIFT - NORTH CANTON CARES PANTRY. The Summit Church, located in Green at the time, was approached by a man with an unbelievable offer. It was 2014 and a Southern Baptist church located on Pittsburg Avenue in North Canton would be closing. This man offered Summit Church that building free-andclear. After accepting this tremendous blessing, the church had a mission to pay it forward. “When we first walked through the door of the new building, our number one question was, ‘How can we serve this community?” said, Jeff Dayton, pastor of The Summit church. They started by providing free breakfast to teachers in the school district and building relationships with people within the community. Eventually, they got a big opportunity after providing Thanksgiving meals and Christmas gifts to children in the school district. The Care Team (Sue Orzak and Judy Demarco), requested a meeting with Jeff to discuss a possible partnership. The Care Team wanted to do a large-scale pantry and Jeff was on board. The only detail to nail down was where would all the food and products be stored? Then a somewhat unusual partnership between the North Canton City School District, The Summit Church and Shale
