Easy-Bake dessert wins award
BY SHARON KOLBET
It’s amazing what you can do
with a light bulb.
With the Christmas cookie
season rapidly approaching, stu
dents living in residence halls
who are short on space but still
craving holiday goodies, can
learn from Lincoln fifth-grader
Shalene Weyers.
Shalene cooks with a counter
top toy known as the Easy-Bake
Oven, and this fall she wowed
judges in the Hasbro Easy-Bake
Oven Baker of the Year competi
tion.
The 10-year-old daughter of
Nancy and Jay Weyers used her
Easy-Bake Oven to design a
dessert called the Triple Banana
Sundae Surprise.
After being selected in
November as a finalist in the
(national contest, Shalene and her
family received a trip to New York
for the final bake-off.
“It was completely unexpect
ed,” Nancy Weyers said.
“I had given Shalene the con
test information this summer and
told her that whenever she said
she was bored she could go and
whip something up in her Easy
Bake.”
After weeks of experimenta
tion and taste tests, Shalene came
up with a recipe that proved to be
a real winner.
As one of five finalists selected
from hundreds of children ages 8
to 11, Shalene was flown to New
York to compete against a 9-year
old from Texas and her Chocolate
Mousse Cake, a 10-year-old from
Washington state rith a "Candy
Clown," a 9-year-old from Rhode
Island who made fruit pizza and a
10-year-old from Minnesota with
a Chocolate Cream Dream.
While Shalene didn't win the
grand prize, she did finish as the
runner-up. For her work, Shalene
received a $1,000 savings bond, a
one-year supply of Easy-Bake
bake sets and $200 in Hasbro toys.
Shalene said she was just a lit
tle nervous during the bake-off,
but her famous dessert turned
out just fine.
Pearl Harbor marks
attack anniversary
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii -
This sprawling naval base drew
silent for one minute Thursday to
mark the time 59 years ago that
Japanese planes attacked the
U.S. Pacific fleet and plunged the
nation into World War II.
A soft mist started falling as
moment of silence began at 7:55
a.rrL, creating a brilliant rainbow
over Ford Island. It lasted until
the American flag was raised five
minutes later over the gleaming
white USS Arizona Memorial
during the Navy’s annual com
memorative ceremony.
“Why do we remember Pearl
Harbor above and beyond all
others?” asked Adm. Dennis
Blair, commander of the U.S.
Pacific Command. “In part,
because we considered it an act
of treachery.
“But did we think we defined
the rules by which others act?
Did we think we could never
be hit at home? This was one of
the great lessons of Pearl Harbor
to Americans."
About 240 survivors, veter
ans, dignitaries, military officials
and guests attended the services
on the memorial that straddles
the battleship sunk in the attack,
a tomb for about 1,000 of its
crewmen.
The surprise attack on Pearl
Harbor and other military bases
on Oahu lasted two hours. The
Japanese military sank or heavily
damaged 21 ships, destroyed or
damaged323 aircraft, killed 2,388
people and wounded 1,178.
“It's very emotional, it truly
is,” said
Woodrow Wilson Derby, an
82-year-old retired math teacher
from San Diego who was a petty
officer on the USS Nevada. “The
bad memories have gone out of
my mind. I’m just glad to be
alive.”
7 had given Shalene
the contest
information this
summer and told her
that whenever she
said she was bored
she could go and
whip something up in
her Easy-Bake.”
Nancy Weyers
baker’s mother
When asked how long it takes
to bake under a 100-watt bulb,
Shalene said she usually allows 10
minutes per cake.
While at the final bake-off
held in the Four Seasons Hotel,
each contestant was provided
with two Easy-Bake Ovens to
work with.
“This makes it go faster, you
can have two cakes going at the
same time,” Shalene said.
