No, to become a chocolatier, one needs a piece of paper, so she took courses through Ecole Chocolat out of Vancouver, BC and attended lecture classes in Chicago IL. Then she pitched in with her two sisters to found Tres Sorelle (Three Sisters) Cioccolato. The ladies scrambled to start a catalog business, working nights wherever they could find freed up cooking space after hours in restaurants like PJ’s in Huron. In 2007, she and sister Jan formed a partnership and took over the Tudor building at Columbus and Monroe in Sandusky. Husband Jeff became her construction engineer as the gals turned the formed flower shop into the place of their dreams. Turn off your Garmin and follow your nose as you enter Sandusky, and you’ll discover a Wonka World of chocolate delights as you enter the door. This is no factory with vats of browns and darks bubbling over. Rather a small kitchen in back produces the tables of individually wrapped, mouthwatering delights out front. No matter the season but chocolate hearts, bunnies, leprechauns and Santas galore stare up at hungry eyes. Dipped strawberries go out the door by the case for young lovers and weddings. Ever try a ganache? It is a high end filling using a couverture chocolate, cream, and a flavoring, usually of either fresh herbs, coffees, wines/alcohol, dried fruits or flowers. They have even worked with Firelands Winery to develop chocolates using their wines and liqueurs. Want to send thank you gifts, birthday or holiday treats? How about having your own customized logos or special labels on the candies? They will accommodate all of these and more. Seasonal shipping can be arranged, except for summer when a hot Fed Ex truck would deliver only brown goo to your door.

Judi stands guard over some of her creations. that engulfs the nostrils when opening the wooden door at Columbus Avenue. Hardly has the silver bell stopped tinkling when you just know you have entered into a different world. When not in the kitchen, Judi can be found doting over Jake, 12, or Emma, a big kindergarten graduate now. She and Jeff live – where else for a history teacher – in Milan right across from the Edison Birthplace in a lovingly restored period home. As a pharmacist at Huron’s Drug Mart, Jeff doesn’t have much time off, but already the couple has traveled to many of those places Judi taught about in her geography classes: Spain, France, Germany, the Czech Republic and Prague, Austria, Hungary, and Italy, along with most of the major islands in the Caribbean and to breathtaking Alaska. Next on the itinerary is a cruise on the Rhone in Southern France. We’re sure it’s just a trip to smuggle in truffles for her business. When she doffs her candy-making cap, she dons her Amish hat and indulges in quilt making. Truly this lady enjoys the cottage industries al la the nineteenth century. Small town Huron and Milan can do that to a body – and we’ll take it any day! Ad multos annos, Judi.

Superintendent Fred Fox has his assistants read from envelopes the messages he intended the class to remember and then commented upon each: Kyle Krueger: Nothing good ever happens after midnight. Kyle Sommer: Don’t drive and text. Then the most important advice from Sarah Phinney: Call home often. Finally from Jesselyn VanBarg: Do what you have to do in order to do what you want to do.

Abby Strbjak led her classmates in the ritual throwing of the caps. The class threw theirs only after Abby had first thrown a single cap in honor of deceased classmate Jordan Smith who had tragically died in a tragic automobile accident in September.
Page 3: As part of the baccalauteate service held at St. Peter’s Church, students lay at the altar the many symbols of their accomplishments, many academic, others athletic or extracurricular. Some see this as the ritual Collection of Junque, but most recognize that here are the many visible signs of what adolescent growth and development is all about - the well rounded individuals that Huron turns out.
Science teacher Roger Blevins delivered the baccalaureate address this year and advised the graduates that they had an obligation to be virtuous, despite how the world might interpret their actions.
Anthony Quinn and Brianna Gorby were two of the many students parading to the stand either to lead a litany, recount memories, or recite poetry or paeans to the parents. Music from chorale groups, the bell choir, and a final tribute, Faithfully by Journey performed by Tyler Krueger, lent a solemn and sacred air to the affair. In thye come, their last march together
Page 4: ARTirondack Chair Auction
To commemorate the Huron Bicentennial, the Planning Committee commissioned a public art project, ARTirondack chairs. Two dozen blank chairs were ordered and used as a canvass upon which various local artists could work their magic with their imaginations. The result was a whole gallery of scenes deliciously just Huron: the Land, the Lake, the River, and Life. Some waxed nostalgic over summers long ago, or beach and river scenes; others featured sports themes or whimsical color palettes that let the mind run ragged. The public is invited to view these chairs all summer at various businesses in town. Then on August 11, at 6 PM at the Nia Center at Kalahari Resort, there will be appetizer buffet followed by a grand auction of the chairs. The publc is invited out to bid and support local charities - all proceeds will go to charities of the winning bidders’ choices. Email kilbury4@verizon.net or jbfoster@barnesnursery.com for further information.
Bernice Taylor Hamler, ‘58, a life-long Huronite, chose the blue heron for her inspiration. A self-taught artist, Bernice has created pieces over the years that showcase the nautical areas of the Huron of her youth and numerous nature scenes. She combines both in her Wildlife of Huron entry.
Her kids left home in the 80’s and Carol Sprankle Lesher, ‘56, has been painting at her home in norwalk ever since. Her chair, Castles in the Sand, evokes the memories of many summers she spent enjoying sun and sand on many of Huron’s beautiful beaches.
