The votes are in!

The Best of Lewis County contest is one of the most enjoyable annual projects that the staff at The Chronicle works on. Each year our readers participate by nominating and voting for a few regulars and each year there are a few new businesses that get added to the mix. This year we added a “nominate us” and a “vote for us” digital media kit for businesses who wanted to rally their customers to more fully participate. Almost 300 businesses used the media kits. Some businesses put out flyers to encourage votes and Rib Eye even had it on their reader board. Participation was as an all time high. Over 33,000 people looked at the website and more than 12,000 of you voted to determine the winners. We hope you had as much fun with this contest as we did. After weeks of nominations and voting, you have spoken. Here are your winners for The Chronicle’s 2014 Best of Lewis County.

Do you really need to rotate tires? Rotating tires is something that many people do religiously while others put off the task until they notice a problem with the car’s performance. An important component of vehicle upkeep, rotating tires not only extends the life of the tires, but it also helps ensure safer driving. Did you know? Making turns or parallel parking requires the force of the front tires. The front tires wear more quickly than the rear tires. In order to extend the life of the tires, drivers must periodically rotate them.

Wilted Spinach and Sheep Cheese Bruschetta Bread Ingredients: 2 baguettes, sliced into ½-inch slices or 1 country loaf, sliced into ½-inch slices ¾ cup olive oil 2 cloves garlic, split 8 ounces Black Sheep Creamery pecorino, grated ½ medium red onion, sliced into thin rings 1 handful baby spinach leaves 3 small roma tomatoes, thinly sliced 2 small red pickled peppers 10 kalamata olives 10 green olives ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, whole ¼ cup ricotta cheese Directions: Place oven rack 6 inches from the heat source in oven, and preheat broiler. Toast bread. Rub slices with garlic and brush a light coat of olive oil on top. Arrange slices on a baking sheet. Spread a layer of ricotta cheese on top of bread. Lay spinach on top of ricotta to taste.

Sprinkle grated pecorino on top of spinach. Top with your choice of combinations and sprinkle lightly with pecorino. I particularly enjoyed tomatoes and basil, kalamata and green olives, red onion and fresh basil, and green olives and tomatoes. Place under broiler until spinach wilts and cheese is melted. Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. The bruschetta comes out crisp, chewy and soft, all at the same time.

According to USA Today, About 83 percent of adults drink coffee in the U.S., the world’s biggest consumer of the beverage, up from 78 percent a year earlier, according to the National Coffee Association’s 2013 online survey. That’s an average of three cups a day per person, or 587 million cups. The only weak spot: volatile young drinkers, who last year drank less coffee.

The millions of bacteria that proliferate inside of the mouth and contribute to dental caries also can affect other areas of the body. Evidence suggests the same bacteria that can cause plaque and gum disease may lead to cardiovascular problems. According to information from Harvard Medical School, several species of bacteria that cause periodontitis have been found in the atherosclerotic plaque in arteries in the heart and elsewhere. This plaque can lead to heart attack.

Chef’s Night Out Raises Record Funds for United Way By Kyle Spurr kspurr@chronline.com The sixth annual United Way of Lewis County’s Chef’s Night Out on Saturday night had more chefs, more attendees and raised more money than in the previous five years. More than $50,000 was raised at the annual fundraiser at the Lucky Eagle Casino, doubling the average amount raised in the first few years. The money goes toward the United Way and local partner agencies. “It was very successful. We will be over and above what we were at in past years, over $50,000,” Angela French, resource development director for United Way of Lewis County, said. “That number could be a lot higher, but we don’t know yet.” The sold out crowd of 300 people at the Lucky Eagle Casino sampled dishes from eight local chefs. For the first time in the event’s history, two chefs tied for the honor of Top Chef. Darin Harris, owner of

Boccata Deli & Market in Centralia, and Dawn Lawson of Dawn’s Delectables in Centralia, both earned the exact same number of points from the judges to share the Top Chef title. Harris won the title outright last year. “It’s never happened before. It was a dead tie,” French said. “When you added everything together, Darin and Dawn came out exactly the same.” The chefs competed in three categories: People’s Choice, Judge’s Choice and Patron Support, where customers voted prior to the event. Harris won the judge’s choice and patron support categories. The chefs were judged on taste, presentation and creativity of their bite-sized cuisines. “Those chefs worked hard on making some excellent food,” French said. “They are really stepping up. It really opens your eyes to the culinary talent we have in this community that goes unnoticed sometimes.”

Pizza suggestions from owners of Tiki Tap House, Jordan and Cindy Peabody: “The Freak Tiki is a white garlic sauce spin on the classic Hawaiian pizza. Atop the typical Canadian bacon and pineapple toppings, we add regular bacon, macadamia nuts, and coconut. To enhance the Freak Tiki’s sweet and tangy flavors, we suggest you enjoy a pint of Maui Brewing Company’s Mana Wheat pineapple beer or Sun Garden Winery’s German Reisling. Just behind the Freaky Tiki in popularity, our My Thai pizzas offer another departure from “ordinary.” A thai-peanut and chicken pizza, the My Thai is a sure bet for anyone looking for spicy pizza. And since it’s loaded with roasted red peppers and fresh cilantro, the strong flavors of the My Thai pair well with more subdued notes of Kona Brewing Company’s Longboard Lager or Butterfield Station’s Merlot. Those looking for traditional flavors and toppings need look no further than our crowd-pleasing Kahuna Supreme. This classic red sauce supreme pizza is the perfect mix of savory meats and garden fresh veggies. The Kahuna Supreme is strong enough to pair with a stronger beer or wine, such as the Seven Seas Rude Parrot IPA or our house Cabernet Sauvignon.”

Conversations about the beer started last year, Young said, while work on the recipe and logo started in the past six months.

Johnson and Nilsen approached Dick’s about brewing the 12 Man Pale Ale, Young said. “They looked at multiple breweries,” Young said. “(Johnson) likes our beer.” The 12 Man Pale Ale is not seasonal and will be available throughout the year. “We will probably rotate it through our taps,” Young said. “We anticipate a larger push during the football season.”

Pastor

Kyle Rasmussen, Bethel Church, Chehalis Mark Fast, Centralia Community Church of God Mark Wilks, First Baptist Church of Chehalis

Why were you drawn to ministry? “My first choice of occupation was to be a Dentist. Since the 3rd Grade I was intrigued with fixing smiles and giving little kids suckers whenever they came to see me, but that dream changed after I graduated high school. I recognized a call from God to bring restoration and hope to people. The journey to becoming a dentist really prepared me for becoming a pastor. I was fixated on bringing “wellness” to people. Fixing people’s teeth is what I wanted to do, but fixing people’s lives is what God wanted to do. Instead of asking God to join my dream, I joined His.” ~Kyle Rasmussen, Pastor at Bethel Church, Chehalis

Volunteer

Trevor Elliott Jan Nontell Fay Ternan I have many people in my career and community involvement that I look to who have helped Shown here is Jerry Boes and his wife Maretta, Katie Gabbard and me along the Trevor Elliott at the Lewis County Relay for Life, May 2014. way. One that has stands out to me as someone who’s example I try to follow would be Jerry Boes. I serve on the Visiting Nurses Foundation Board, attend Bethel Church with Jerry and consider him a close friend. In my time getting to know Jerry he has consistently shown selflessness and strong leadership. At a young age I am very involved in the community in a variety of ways but I would like to continue to work towards becoming the type of leader than Jerry has been and is currently to this community. ~ Trevor Elliott
