Community the entries into the adult fry bread

Bread Champion of the World.’Äù
Fry Bread Competition Judge Pauly Raphael, 26,
of Peshawbestown,
Mich., near Grand Traverse, marks his comments about
a contestant’Äôs entry on a slip of paper during
judging of the event Saturday morning. Fry bread
both in the Youth, for contestants 17 and under, and
the Adult categories was judged by a panel of
five judges for roundness, color, texture,
taste and oil control.
’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

son, Ross, pictured in the frame on the table, as
she prepares her booth at the 23rd annual Pow Wow in Baraga Saturday morning. ’ÄúHe does
the complicated stuff,’Äù she said. ’ÄúI do the
simple stuff , the kids' stuff.’Äù Doherty
attended the event despite
the fact that she’Äôs still healing from a
nasty fall down her neighbor's basement steps, which
left her with bruises and two broken ribs. ’ÄúI’Äôm
glad to be here,’Äù she added.
