Barnes Nursery returns to The Great Big Home and Garden Expo Barnes was invited to create a feature gar- ron Garden Center – and through their web- site at www.barnesnursery.com. den for this years IX Garden show. The show’s “movie theme” inspired Barnes landscape designer Steven Coughlin to create a magical, fantasy garden inspired by the wild adventures of “Alice in Wonderland”. The garden is taking multiple crews two weeks to install with specialty plants, garden features and special effects. Don’t miss the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts and the Cheshire Cat! You’ll find the unique checkerboard patio hosting the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, and the croquet match in the formal ‘parterre garden’. This year’s visitor will meet the colorful characters surrounded by unique plantings, and re-live the thrill of Alice’s fantastic adventure in this imaginative and fun show garden! Enjoy an early taste of Spring – you are sure to be entertained! Barnes is selling discount tickets at the Hu-

BEHIND THE BADGE
Snow Emergencies and Parking BY CHIEF MAJOY During snow emergencies the City of Huron Service Department has plows working hard to keep our streets clear for travel. Street Superintendent Dan Hoppe and his crew have done a great job at working around the clock to ensure safe travel during snow storms. The Huron Police Department would like to send a reminder out to those who park their vehicles on city streets. The City of Huron does not have snow streets that prohibit parking during certain levels of snow. However, we do have an ordinance prohibiting parking on a city street for more than 24 consecutive hours. As such, residents are encouraged to move their vehicles off city streets to allow plow drivers the ability to clean the streets. After snow emergencies, Huron Police Officers will be patrolling neighborhoods and identifying vehicles that have not been moved. We will attempt to contact the owners to have their vehicles moved. If vehicles are left continuously they could be issued a parking citation.

BY SHEILA EHRHARDT Huron has lost a wonderful woman, a friend to everyone she ever met, and an amazing cook. And Jimmy, John, Steve, Kathy, Connie and Kim have lost their mother, the matriarch of the West family. Josephine (Meno) West died on Monday, Jan. 24, but the magical memories of how she and her sisters could create absolutely spectacular meals from seemingly very sparse ingredients will always be with me. In recent years she’s gained a good bit of notoriety throughout the area as Josephine, the creator of Josephine’s famous spaghetti sauce and other Italian specialties on the billboard signs in front of son Jimmy’s Huron and Milan Pizza Box eateries. But to her lifelong friends, of which there are many, she was just “Chubby,” a jovial mom who worked from morning to night caring for her brood and always working in the food industry to help her husband, Jim, make ends meet. She worked her culinary magic in the kitchen at The Lodge at Sawmill Creek in the 1970’s. Lisa Wood Hill recalls how shocked the kitchen help was to see her put a pork bone in spaghetti sauce as it was simmering. It wasn’t long before they realized that this was the secret ingredient that gave it such a unique flavor. Bob Salgado, who was a stock boy at the lodge back then, would watch her rolling out the tiny meatballs for Italian wedding soup. “Wouldn’t it be quicker to use tiny pieces of sausage in the soup,” he asked

her one day. “We decided to try it and our guests loved it,” recalled Salgado, now a chef at Sawmill. “That soup is still on our menu and we’re still using Josephine’s recipe,” he recalled. In 1981, Jimmy lured his mom away from Sawmill to work at his first Pizza Box in Milan. “Chubby” and her sister, Caroline Gebelle would show up several mornings a week, mixing up huge pots of sauce used on the pizzas and all the other Italian delicacies that have become such favorites with his customers from around the area. As a newcomer to Huron in the late 1950’s, a good friend, Grace (Maschari) Houser introduced me to her “Eastside girlfriends” and we spent many happy hours together at Josephine’s sister, Caroline Gebelle’s house, sitting around a huge kitchen table, mixing huge bowls of dry ingredients to make hundreds of raviolis, gnocchi and different types of pasta. Another of the Meno sisters, Connie Funk, along with Ann Gioffre and Ellie Ritzenthaler were among the other “girlfriends.” At the end of a fun-filled the afternoon, we’d divvy them up and head home with the makings for many delicious meals. Her hard-working daughters have carried on the culinary tradition, now making and marketing “Josephine’s Homemade Spaghetti Sauce.” It was really a pleasure for me to write the following story for our Chamber newsletter last summer about one of my favorite “Eastside girlfriends.” We’ll all miss you, Chubby.
