THANKS FEDERAL WAY FOR ONCE AGAIN NOMINATING US

BEST OF 2012IN TRAVEL AND INSURANCE

AAA.com 800 JOIN AAA

By RUDI ALCOTT

Federal Way Mirror Publisher

Once again we went about asking the residents of Federal Way who was the best at what they do. This year there were the

usual categories of service, shopping, food, living and night life and a total of 74 awards. In the following pages is the entire list of your winners, handpicked by you. This year saw the addition of several new awards in healthcare professionals, tutor, auto parts, buffet, ice cream, Indian and the reintroduction of deli / sandwich after a three year absence. Dry cleaner, furni-ture store and kid’s clothing were deleted due to limited voting responses in the past. There were three first-place ties, two second-place ties, and two third-place ties

one of which was a five-way tie for third.We received a staggering number of

these submissions in both print and on-line. Some of you, as always, get very creative in your picks and in your answers. For instance, some, when asked the coun-try you were from, chimed in with King and Pierce rather than the US. Apparently these folks want to secede from the union. Perhaps they should move to Boulder, CO; one entry listed FW Automotive as the best adult care center. Apparently their car is really old; an entry for best auto dealer-ship listed the pygmy goats as a selling point. Perhaps they will buy a truck from the same dealer to haul these with. One can only hope they weren’t referring to any of the employees; a number of folks were clearly inebriated when they filled out their picks as they listed the WA State

Liquor Control Board as their favorite wine store. Sadly this occurred in a num-ber of entries. This was not to be outdone by the folks that simply listed Federal Way as their favorite wine store. I suppose when you’re in the need for a good bottle of wine, anywhere counts.

Humor aside, none of this would be possible without the support of you, the reader. Your commitment to filling out the ballots and submitting them is what makes this program a success. The businesses that place as finalists and win these awards take this very seriously. They want to be the best and go to great strides to insure that they are.

We hope you enjoy the results along with the messages from the businesses and groups for which you voted. Thanks for making Federal Way a great city.

The ballots are tallied

Rosemary Clooney tribute 'Tenderly' opens at Centerstage TheatreBy MauReen haThawaySpecial to The Mirror

The solar system's inner two plan-ets, Mercury and Venus, both put on their best evening displays of the year this month. And so does Centerstage Theatre with its production of ‚"Ten-derly: The Rosemary Clooney Song-book," which opens at 8 p.m. Friday, March 16, and runs through April 1.

Two-time Emmy nominee com-poser/lyricist David Duvall and Alan Bryce, the artistic director of Centerstage, both individually auditioned people for the Rosemary Clooney part. They both liked Katherine Strohmaier, who per-formed in "My Way," a Frank Sinatra tribute at Centerstage Theatre, and Laurie Clothier, who is most recently known for her role in "Guys and Dolls" at the Fifth Avenue Theatre. The final decision was to have not only a young Rosemary Clooney, but also an older representation of Cloo-ney that would portray her life with a piercingly honest sentimentality.

I had the privilege to observe a technical rehearsal with Bryce on March 10. I watched choreographer Chris Nardine rehears-ing dance steps and deliveries with both stars. Duvall was setting up music stands for the seven musicians who will help make this event an emotional spin of Rosemary Clooney's style.

The dedication and relentless energy the cast is painting for this concert is intuitive and brilliant. Both Katherine and Laurie have voices as smooth as silk. These people are consum-mate professionals who will have the audience leaving with their satisfying tale of Rosemary Clooney's life.

"Tenderly" is a pop standard published in 1946. It is known for purity in vocal rendition, sincerity in emotional expression, and excellence in performance and audience connection. Rosemary Clooney came into prominence in the early 1950s with the novelty hit "Come On-a My House," which was co-written by David Seville (the father figure of Alvin and the Chip-munks), and produced by Mitch Miller.

She had success as a jazz vocalist and had her own 1956 syndicated television musical-vari-ety show. Her career languished in the 1960s, partly due to problems related to depression and drug addiction. Clooney revealed in her two autobiographies that she suffered for much of her life from bipolar disorder.

Her career was revived in 1974 when Bing Crosby, her "White Christmas" co-star, asked her to appear with him at a show marking his 50th anniversary in show business. In 1995, she guest-starred in the NBC television medical drama "ER" (starring with her nephew George Clooney), and received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series. She continued to record until her death of lung cancer in 2002.

Centerstage's production of "Tenderly" will match the March evening displays of Mercury and Venus. This show will provide real, honest and infectious music that promises to be a gold standard event that could be made-for-TV original.

City Leader

THIRD PLACE | Linda Kochmar

It has been an honor to represent the citizens of Federal Way on the City Council and I truly appreciate being nominated for the Best City Leader by the readers of the Federal Way Mirror. The current recession has been difficult for many of our residents, some of whom have faced foreclosure as a result of a loss of their jobs. Our businesses are struggling and need our help to survive this downturn in the economy. It is in working together that we can move forward to help each other and make our community the best it can be.

–Linda Kochmar

Firefighter

SECOND PLACE | Al Church

On behalf of the men and women of South King Fire & Rescue, we want to thank everyone who voted or participated in the annual Federal Way Mirror’s “Best Of” process. We take pride in being able to serve you every day. Our citizens truly are “The Best”, and we are honored to continue to be there for you 24/7/365.

–Fire Chief Allen D. Church

Cop

SECOND PLACE | Brian Wilson

I appreciate the nomination as well as the recognition of Deputy Chief Andy Hwang. His leadership and outstanding work in the community are making a difference. I believe these nominations are only possible because of the outstanding performance of the men and women of the Federal Way Police Department. This recognition is greatly appreciated.”

–Brian J. Wilson, Chief of Police

Owner and food guru Kabal Gill, with three-plus decades of res-taurant experience, has a genuine passion for cooking and is all about sharing the love. Diners at East India Grill can watch the kitchen

action via a TV monitor.He also enjoys showing people

how to cook Indian food at home. Each week, Gill shares his mouth-watering recipes in a cooking class where the seats fill up fast. On March 10, he whipped up a batch of chicken tikka masala from scratch. This is one of the most popular dishes in Indian cuisine. As the number-one restaurant meal in the United Kingdom, chicken tikka masala has even been called “a true British national dish.”

Throughout this recent cooking class, attendees sniffed concoctions

like curry mixed with cinnamon and a garlic-ginger mashup. His house-blended spices tickle noses and clear sinuses with their intoxi-cating aroma. Guests also sampled Gill’s custom-crafted chai tea while watching the action.

Less than an hour later, dishes of steaming chicken tikka masala were served alongside either rice or warm garlic naan, a type of soft bread cooked in a clay oven. The naan was perfect for sopping up the savory sauce. The tender chunks of chicken bursted with well-balanced flavors.

Chicken tikka masala is the

perfect introduction for newcom-ers to Indian food (see recipe below). It is offered on East India Grill’s daily lunch buffet, which stands apart from typical buffets because of its high-quality made-from-scratch approach. The lamb curry is fall-off-the-bone tender, while mushroom and lentil dishes will satisfy the vegetarian palate. Other tasty items include little fritters called vegetable pako-ras, as well as tandoori chicken, which pops in the palate with bold roasted flavors.
