’ÄúI don’Äôt need to prepare. Eating comes naturally to me,’Äù quips Fry Bread Judge Janice Shalifoe of KBIC as she gets ready to help judge the annual Fry Bread Competition Saturday morning. After plenty of fun and kidding, much at the expense of Shalifoe, the judges chose Daanis Chosa, 13, of Zeba, winner of the youth contest. Daanis was also named the 2001 Miss Keweenaw Bay. Tom Marshall of Whitehall, Mich, operator of Rose’Äôs Food Stand, finally found the winning recipe. After entering and receiving only honorable mention the past two years, his fry bread won the adult competition Saturday, making him the ’ÄúFry Bread Champion of the World 2001.’Äù
