Selector-turned-deejay Tony Matterhorn.

The STAR is asking the public to decide who are the 'best' of 2006. We have come up with a list for a few of the categories for the year past. This is by no means exclusive, but we had to stop somewhere. Now, it's up to you to decide who you think is the best.

Call The STAR between January 17 and 24 and vote for your winner. Call 1-888-843-7827 between 4 and 5 p.m. No calls will be accepted before or after this time. The winners will be published in a special 'Year in review' edition of The STAR on Friday, January 26, 2007.
