CHATSWORTH GIRL COOKS UP BIG WIN.


Byline: Diana Peyton Community Columnist

Five-year-old Katherine Wiesbrod has a reason to say cheese - the youngster was a recent finalist in Southern Living Magazine's ``I Can Do It Myself,'' kids cooking contest.

``Katherine's Favorite Grilled Three Cheese Sandwich'' won the Chatsworth resident a $100 award and an all-expenses-paid trip to Birmingham, Ala., with her mother, Kary Weisbrod, last weekend.

``Everyone came home with some kind of award,'' Weisbrod said. ``Katherine was so excited and so talkative, she won the ``most fired-up award'' of the 10 children in the contest,'' her mother said.

The Germain Street School student learned how to cook by observation. ``I can do it myself because after watching my daddy cook, I've become a pretty good cook myself,'' she wrote on her entry form. Her daddy is Ken Weisbrod.

The sandwich she created for the judges was piled with bacon, avocado and a trio of sharp, jack and white cheddar cheeses on sourdough bread.

 in Ventura last week. ``The gift of life is the ultimate gift of Christian charity,'' Miller said to those attending Masses at the church.

``The ministry may be the first of its kind - 150 people offered to be donors after the services,'' he said.

Rodriguez hopes to raise funds for organ recipients to receive interim immune-suppressants for up to 30 days when life-saving medications might be delayed due to a lapse in insurance coverage.

``You can't cheat death, it's going to happen - but in it, lives can be saved, that's one of the reasons why donor awareness is so important,'' the Winnetka resident said.

Donor Awareness Week is April 16 through 22.
