Several students at Eastside Catholic are getting a whole new experience this year.

For the � rst time, the Sammamish school is o� ering a Mandarin program for its middle and high school students.

“It’s such a powerful language especially with China’s economy growing,” said instruc-tor Monica Lo, who has 44 students enrolled in two Mandarin classes. � ey are learning everything from how to speak and write the language to the importance of Chinese holi-days and traditions.

Lo said her students have caught on to the language fairly quickly — noting it’s not as hard as some perceive.

“I know the writing system can be very intimidating, but there’s really not much gram-mar movement, so there’s no conjugation of nouns and verbs like in Spanish and French — there’s no masculine or feminine,” she said.

Senior Eugenia Gisel said she has studied Spanish, but this is her � rst experience with Mandarin.

“� e culture is so interwoven with the lan-guage and the characters have stories behind them and that just gives such an extra depth that some languages lack,” she said.

For freshman Frank Norwood the class drew him in because it was so di� erent.

“It’s just a lot of fun because I’ve done Span-ish the last couple of years and it was kind of too mainstream,” he said. “I thought, Manda-rin, it’s very di� erent and it could open more doors later in life, so I thought I’ll give it a try.”

Freshman Giuliana Sercu is one of the few in the class with a history with the language. She spent the last two years at Forest Ridge School in Bellevue, one of the few Eastside schools to o� er Mandarin.

“It’s fun to perfect what I’ve learned before and also watch other people learn the language and help them,” she said.

Forgoing their valentines, about 25 lovers of Lake Sammamish State Park showed up at the King County Library System headquarters on Feb. 14 to discuss forming a non-pro� t Lake Sammamish State Park friends group and advocate for the ailing park.

“State Parks is in deep doo-doo,” said Peter Herzog, partnerships and planning

program manager at Washington State Parks.

State funding for parks has decreased since 2003 from $60 million to $13 million in 2011. Herzog doesn’t expect any general fund money for state parks in this year’s state budget.

In addition, the Discover Pass, which provides access to state parks for $30 a year or $10 for a daily permit, has only brought in half the expected revenue. � e program was projected to bring in $67 million between 2011 and 2013. As of June 2012, it

had earned about $15.7 million. Lake Sam-mamish State Park hasn’t had any major improvements since the ‘70s.

Lake Sammamish State Park manager Rich Benson said he’s hopeful a new boat launch, which is shaping up nicely, will be completed for the busy summer season. However, it took 15 years to get it done.

And, Herzog added, $1.8 million in capi-tal projects are in the works for this sum-mer including beach restoration at Sunset Beach, which will be funded in part by the Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account and state capital funds, at a cost of $1 million. � e additional $1.7 in capital projects will be funded from ALEA and Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program grants.

But it’s not enough. John Floberg, executive director of the

State Parks Foundation, said the state-wide non-pro� t support group has mostly funded projects to enhance parks. But the need, he added, is there to operate on a much larger scale.

A good example is the “Friends” group formed to serve Bridle Trails State Park, 482 acres sandwiched between Kirkland and Bellevue. Ken Hite, president of the Bridle Trails Park Foundation, which formed in 2002, said it now pays 50 percent of the operating cost of the park.

Audience suggestions for improvements included Issaquah City Council member Eileen Barber advocating educational youth activities. Another citizen proposed promoting historical and cultural elements into the park, including the Snoqualmie Tribe which has immense history in the area. One woman advocated for pet con-trol, while another thought an o� -leash

park for dogs would be appropriate.Former city council member Dave Kap-

pler would like to see lifeguards brought back, and more emphasis on wind powered cra� like sailboats.

Incorporating some commercial devel-opment was even suggested, including a high-end lakeside restaurant, something Lake Sammamish lacks.

In the end, � ve people stepped up to be the interim leaders of this new “Friends” group: Dave Kappler, Connie Marsh, Deb-bie Bertow, Chris Kovac and Jim Berry. � e � edgling group did not set a date yet for its next meeting.

It’s not official, but Der-rick Capdeville is certain his students will hold the record for Washington’s largest ice cream sandwich after Thursday.

“I’m personally confident this is biggest the state has ever seen,” he told a group of 30 kids on Tuesday dur-ing the IMPACT winter break program at Beaver Lake Middle School.

Capdeville, a coordinator for the after-school pro-

gram, said the whole winter break week was dedicated to setting records, whether as individuals or teams. The largest of those records was the ice cream sandwich.

“We were like, what can we do that’s record break-ing,” Capdeville said. “We asked the kids what they were thinking. They love sweets, they love all that stuff.”

Under the direction of Jill Meitzel, students started constructing the cookie dough Tuesday us-ing 18 pounds of sugar, 15

pounds of butter, 27 pounds of flour, 9 pounds of choco-late chips and 48 eggs.

Given the option of play-ing a game or prepping, the kids who chose the kitchen said it was an easy choice.

“I’ve only seen ice cream sandwiches about this big,” said sixth-grader Cindy Xiao, holding her hands in small square. “I’ve never seen a huge one.”

Gwen Meldon, a Pine Lake Middle School sixth grader, admitted she doesn’t even like ice cream.

“It’s not as much about the product, it’s more for doing it,” she said. “It’s fun.”

The end product, which was completed Thursday after the Reporter’s dead-line, was expected to be 2 feet wide, by 8 feet long. It was scheduled to hold 20 gallons of ice cream and enough dough for 2,400 one-ounce cookies.

Asked if it would be hard to eat the final product after putting all the work into it, seventh-grade Pine Lake student Rachel Rosewater didn’t think so.

“What’s the point of making something without eating it,” she said.

Work, wine, WOW and welcome are making the news in Issaquah and Sammamish. All of them are big pluses for the community.

Let’s start with work. Today, in the center pages of � e Reporter, is a look at more than two dozen businesses that bring us a wide variety of goods and services. We’re calling attention to them in our “Spotlight on Business.”

Too o� en we take business in our community for granted. We expect the stores or shops to be open when we need something. But that only can happen if they survive and prosper. Which means, of course, that we have to frequent them with our dollars.

Investing locally is one of the best returns on our dollars. � e taxes we pay for these goods help support government. � e rest of the money goes to provide the jobs that we all need for a prosperous community.

Ah, wine. Yes, the Wine Walk returns to downtown Issaquah on March 1, giving us the second in a four-month e� ort to beat the winter blues. � ere will be eight wineries pouring and numerous shops and stores stay-ing open from 6-9 p.m. � e variety of wine is just what we need at what o� en is a dreary time of the year.

� e WOW factor takes us to Sammamish where the city has approved two agreements with the YMCA for the Sammamish Community and Aquatic Center. � e $30 million project got a “thumbs up” in a November vote. � is deal should provide another top-notch ame-nity for Sammamish.

Last, but certainly not least, is a welcome – if that’s we can call it – to Ron � iele, who is stepping up to become Issaquah’s school superintend from his post as associate superintendent.

As School Board President Brian Deagle aptly noted, � iele “has the proven track record and positive rela-tionships to seamlessly continue the major initiatives that we have in place.”

Issaquah has a suburb school system. With � iele taking charge, it will be in good hands.

It’s been a tough year for public health. � e U.S. is facing a particularly harsh in� uenza season, but this virus repre-

sents only one problematic pathogen.Another is the bacterium Bordetella

pertussis, the causative agent of pertus-sis (whooping cough). In December,

Vermont declared a pertussis epidemic. Last April, so did Washing-ton state.

Both of these infec-tious diseases have vaccines that can help keep them in check. However, as I discuss in my new book, Science Le� Behind, myths surrounding vaccines

live on to this day – like zombies that just refuse to die – preventing otherwise re-sponsible people from getting vaccinated.

� e in� uenza vaccine is hounded by the myth that it will give people the � u. With the injectable vaccine, this is biologically impossible because it uses dead viruses; with the nasal spray, mild symptoms may develop because it uses weakened (but live) viruses.

Yet, the myth persists, probably due to two major misunderstandings. First, the word “� u” is used colloquially to refer to anything from a bad cold to food poison-ing (o� en called “stomach � u” or “24-hour � u”). But the in� uenza virus does not cause these maladies.

Second, the in� uenza vaccine isn’t perfect. � e CDC estimates this year’s concoction to be 62 percent e� ective. � at is because multiple in� uenza strains circulate in the population, but the vac-cine only covers three of them – picked in advance by epidemiologists who predict which strains will pose the biggest threat each season. Additionally, your body

needs about two weeks to mount an im-mune response to the vaccine, meaning you are vulnerable to infection during that time period.

� e pertussis vaccine is hobbled by what, in retrospect, may have been a poor decision about 20 years ago. � e old vac-cine (DTwP) used whole-cell pertussis. It could certainly cause a fever, but there were also unsubstantiated claims that it caused neurological damage. Because of that, a new acellular pertussis (DTaP) vac-cine was created.

� e problem, though, is that current evidence strongly indicates that the new pertussis vaccine does not provide as long lasting immunity. � erefore, the com-bination of children who receive a less e� ective vaccine and an adult population who o� en neglects to get their pertussis booster shot (Tdap) is probably driving the uptick in pertussis cases.

Is there any chance that public health o� cials will switch back to the old vac-cine? Probably not. In an e-mail, Univer-sity of Washington epidemiologist Je� Duchin wrote, “Returning to the [DTwP] vaccine that causes more side e� ects would not be successful if it were not ac-ceptable to the public.”

But, a thoughtful, scienti� cally minded public should ponder that possibility. It may very well be that the risk of using the new, less e� ective vaccine outweighs the risk of side e� ects from the old, more e� ective vaccine. In other words, we must decide if we want more fevers or more cases of pertussis.

In the meantime, please do your civic duty and go get your � u shot.

Time to dispel vaccine myths

WHY WENEED GUNS

Regarding Jared Oh’s Jan. 28 letter, he does not understand that sane, law abiding citizens need to keep and bear modern military small arms so they can be called up by the governor in emergencies to augment the Washington National Guard, or by the King County Sheri� to aug-ment the police (reference Federalist Paper no 46 and USC 10 Section 311).

While this possibility seems far fetched in this age of free elections and the rule of law, history teaches us otherwise. Banning so-called assault weapons and high-cap magazines would degrade our collective abil-ity to defend our homes, our communities and our free state.

Charles Winters, Issaquah

A VICIOUS ATTACKIt appears that Jared Oh

� guratively stepped into a hornets’ nest of rabid, guns at any cost writers. Rather than understand this, they chose to go o� on vicious, sarcastic, personal attacks instead of calmly and ratio-nally discussing the content of his letter.

It really does show the contempt, disgust and vitriol these writers have for someone who does not agree in lockstep with them. Our democracy is not in danger from such opinions, especially discussions and suggestions as Oh stated.

You would have thought Oh called for overturning a tyrannical government through armed insurrection to get this reaction, which is ironically what all these staunch Second Amend-ment supporters wrongly believe they have a right to do.

It is truly a sad day, not because of Oh’s comments, but because rational, open discussion on this issue without personal, reaction-ary attacks cannot occur as demonstrated by these writers.

high school to have a Chinese language program. Eastlake offers French and Spanish, while Issaquah offers the same with the addition of Japanese and American Sign Language.

With census results showing Chinese residents to be one of the highest minority demographics in Sammamish and Issaquah, and the increased level of dealings with the United States and China, Lo said it only makes sense to have the language offered in schools.

“For every occupa-tion it will be very useful, especially if the kids are thinking about going into engineering or internation-al business or marketing, anything along those lines,” she said.

the non-profit would start asking for loans to main-tain the 60,000 square-foot facility.

He was also concerned about businesses in the pri-vate sector losing business, or completely going out of business.

“I’m like the guy standing on the platform yelling at the train that went by,” Curley said. “I’m all for the Y. I love their whole idea. I just don’t think it necessarily fits what we’re trying to do up here.”

Others, like council member John James, had small concerns, like all the furniture and equipment being new.

“The intent is that it will be new,” Parks Director Jessi Bon assured him. “I

would also ask you to keep in mind that the YMCA is interested in selling memberships and I don’t think they’d do so well if they couldn’t compare with their competitors.”

Mayor Tom Odell said he first began work-

ing on the community center project three years ago when he joined the council. He was pleased to see the project become more reasonable in price, virtually cut in half from the original consultant’s presentation.

“I think I’d probably find a half of dozen, a dozen points I might want to take minor issue with, but I feel very strongly that this is an excellent package and I want to commend the Y and the city staff,” he said.

Here are the highlights of the operating agree-ments reached on Tuesday:

• The city-owned build-ing will be leased to the YMCA at $1 per year for 25 years.• The YMCA will man-age the facility, provide programs and cover all operating expenses. • If both parties agree, the lease could be extend-ed to 50 years.

• The city will serve as the lead on design and construction. • For the first 18 months, residents may join free of charge. After 18 months, they will receive a 75 percent discount on joining. • Meeting space will be available at no charge for Sammamish-based com-munity groups.• Exhibition space will be available for the Sam-mamish Arts Commission and Sammamish Heritage Society.

The Issaquah City Council won’t take an official position on I-90 toll-ing. But council members and the mayor have five points they want the Washington State Department of Transportation to consider:

• The state should use a portion of the revenue from tolling on I-90 for improvement of the I-90 corridor;

• A portion of the toll revenue should go to mass transit;

• There should be equity for all users of the I-90 corridor with no exempted population receiving public benefit at no cost;

• The city opposes the tolling of off-ramps and on-ramps in Issaquah, noting that would be inequitable unless every on or off-ramp from an interstate was tolled across the state, and

• The city is requesting that when the WSDOT holds public meetings in the future, they also be held in Is-

saquah. The recommendations came as a

smaller than expected crowd showed up at a public hearing to discuss toll-ing I-90.

Issaquah resident Michael Beard, who was one of the applicants for the council seat vacated by Mark Mullet, did not think the letter was represen-tative of the public perception.

“I’m asking you to represent us,” he said. “It’s a serious amount of money.”

Kristi Tripple, representing Rowley properties, asked the council to sup-port only tolling on the bridge, not the on and off ramps into Issaquah.

Issaquah resident and business owner Connie Marsh added, “You add tolls and you increase barriers we’ve long tried to eradicate.”

Marsh said many of her customers come from Seattle, and are finally over the notion of Issaquah being a “bar-ren wasteland.” People on both sides of Lake Washington won’t want to venture across if it’s going to cost them more money.

Council member Tola Marts said he thought it was too soon to be tolling.

“This is very weird, because we’re not getting a new and better bridge,” he said.

Marts said putting more taxation on taxpayers is a bad move, but he still supported the letter to DOT.

Council member Josh Schaer, chair-man of the Council Transportation Committee, said that with Washing-ton’s gas tax among the highest in the country at 37.5 cents per gallon – and possibly going up by 10 cents – driv-ing around the lake to avoid the tolls would cost as much, and take a heck of a lot longer.

Since it is necessary to complete the 520 bridge, Schaer suggested perhaps tolling only at peak times, or maybe even directing some of the lottery funds to transportation.

“Everything should be on the table,” Schaer said.

Staff writer Linda Ball can be reached at 425-391-0363, ext. 5052.

issaquah takes stance on i-90 tolling

The Issaquah School Board Feb. 13 unani-mously voted to hire associate superintendent Ron Thiele to succeed outgoing superintendent Steve Rasmussen when he retires from the district on June 30.

“Ron has the proven track record and positive relationships to seam-lessly continue the major initiatives that we have in place,” said board presi-dent Brian Deagle.

The action authorized the school board to begin contract negotiations with Thiele, who will officially be hired once the board approves the contract at an upcoming business meeting.

Thiele has almost 25 years of educator experi-ence, eight of which were as a classroom teacher before becoming an administrative leader. He came to the Issaquah School District in 2001 as principal of Issaquah Middle School. He be-came executive director of elementary and middle school education in

2004 and transitioned to associate superintendent in 2008.

Bellevue College has received approval from the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges to develop two new bachelor’s degree pro-grams – in Nursing and in Information Systems and Technology.

When the two programs o� cially begin classes in the fall of 2013, this will raise the total number of four-year degrees o� ered at BC to � ve.

BC has proposed two more bachelor’s degrees, in biological and environmental technology and in data analytics; if approved by the state, they could be o� ered as soon as 2014.

Childbirth is o� en painful and always unpredictable, but postpartum recovery doesn’t have to be. To help new moms, Swedish/Issaquah is o� ering Postnatal Body � erapy by Bavia.

“Most parents prepare extensively for the birth of their baby. � ey attend childbirth preparation classes, talk to family and friends, and develop comprehensive birth plans. However, few focus on the immediate post-partum period and all of the associated challenges like breastfeeding di� culties, hormonal changes and sleep deprivation, just to name a few,” said Wendy Colgan, manager of Obstetrics and Pediatrics at Swedish/Is-saquah.

Services include so� candlelight, soothing music and aromatherapy combined with gentle massage, eucalyp-tus steamed foot wraps and heated temple treatment.

� e services provided by Bavia combine massage, imagery and aromatherapy to assist new moms with a successful transition to the postpartum period.

More information, including pricing and pre-order services, is available at www.swedish.org under Pregnancy & Childbirth Services. To learn more about Postnatal Body � erapy, visit www.Bavia.com or call 855-242-2842.

A public hearing Feb. 28 may give Timber Ridge at Talus more skilled nursing beds at the Brianwood Health Center and at the same time retain the ability to take patients from outside the 184-unit independent living facil-ity.

Timber Ridge is de� ned as a type “A” CCRC (continuing care retire-ment community). � at means it can’t accept patients directly into skilled nursing a� er � ve years of opening. It faces a May deadline to change its arrangement.

A solution may come in the form of Horizon House, a CCRC facility in downtown Seattle that in 2005 closed, or banked, 56 skilled nursing beds. It still can bring them back into use, but must to so by the end of this year.

In doing the research on care facili-ties, Horizon House found there has been a decrease in nursing home beds over the past seven years, particularly in East King County.

At the same time, Grant Linacre, the administrator for Timber Ridge, says an aging population is expected to increase demand for such facilities.

Timber Ridge felt the need to con-tinue operating as it has the past � ve years, Linacre said.

“In the past � ve years we feel we’ve been providing service at a very high level. We want to keeping that nursing bed supply in circulation,” he said.

By making use of the Horizon House beds, Briarwood would be able to continue to accept new patients from outside Timber Ridge into the skilled nursing beds.

� e project would be implemented in two phases; the � rst would be the transfer of the Horizon’s 36 existing beds to Briarwood, and the second phase would add 20 beds when Tim-ber Ridge expands.

Timber Ridge, Linacre said, has always intended to grow. He added the hope is to break ground on Phase II this year. He said phase II will con-tain independent, assisted and skilled nursing, where the extra 20 beds will be housed. Linacre said Timber Ridge now has 184 independent living units.

Because Horizon House in the past has shown the need for the beds, it doesn’t need state approval for the Timber Ridge move. However, anyone can request a public hearing if beds are going to be unbanked and one was requested by Issaquah Nursing and Rehabilitation.

“As a long time member of the health care community I wanted to be sure I could ask questions along with the public,” said Issaquah Nursing and Rehabilitation Administrator Lisa Stubenrauch.

She added that when she found out about the proposal, it was such short

notice that she decided a public hear-ing would be in order so everyone’s voice could be heard.

Liz Tidyman’s parents are residents of Timber Ridge

“� is a� ects elderly people,” Tidy-man said. “It seems to me that Timber Ridge wants that revenue — it’s a higher revenue stream to take people outside of the CCRC. I’m not saying I have concerns, but the fact is there will be a public hearing, and some-times the public review and comment hearing can bring up issues.”

“We’re really proud of the care we give, we don’t see this as a big change in the way we do business,” Lina-cre said. “We just see this as way to continue business as we’ve been doing business.”

� e hearing is at 1 p.m., Feb. 28, in the large meeting room in the King County Library at 10 West Sunset Way in Issaquah.

The following information was compiled from city of Sammamish and Issaquah police reports:

neaR diSaSTeRAn Issaquah woman

scared she wouldn’t get her

clothes to the dry cleaner in time escaped a potential explosive situation Feb. 2.

The woman, who thought she might be 1 minute late, pulled into a parking spot at 6100 East Lake Sammamish Parkway and accidentally stepped on the gas in-stead of the brake. Her car crashed into a metal rack full of 20-pound propane

bottles. The rack was heavily

damaged, but Eastside Fire and Rescue determined no propane was leaking.

The driver reported pain to her face, which was hit by a deployed air bag. She was also found to have a driver’s license which ex-pired one month previously.

dOG dOOedA Sammamish man

called police Feb. 13 to report that his neighbor just dumped dog feces all over his front yard, then threat-

ened to smear the waste on the caller’s house and the caller himself.

The caller said he had a confrontation with neigh-bor in July of 2012 after he approached the man’s son about not picking up his dog’s waste. The neighbor didn’t like the caller telling his son to pick up the mess and made threats to dump dog poo in his yard and smear it on his home in the 23000 block of Northeast 22nd Street. Nothing hap-pened for six months and the caller was concerned the man held a grudge for so long. Police advised the caller seek a protection order.

YOUnG LOGGeRS?Issaquah police respond-

ed to a call of a juvenile cutting down a tree in the early afternoon Jan. 31. Police located a small tree, approximately 3 inches in diameter that had been cut. A witness reported he saw several young males cutting down trees, but as he ap-proached they fled on foot.

TRaiLeR STOLenAn Issaquah business

owner called police Jan. 31 to report someone stole a trailer valued at $7,500

from his property in the 900 block of Fifth Avenue Northwest.

Thieves used a padlock cutter to remove locks at three different locations on the trailer.

BOTTLe TOSSedPolice were called to the

Sammamish McDonald’s the evening of Jan. 25 after someone reportedly threw a beer bottle at one of the windows on the north side of the restaurant.

Teens in the restaurant identified the suspect as an Issaquah High School student and said he fled the area on foot. The window wasn’t broken.

CRanK CaLLeRA 17-year-old Samma-

mish girl called police Jan. 19 to report a harassing phone call she received on her cell.

The girl said the caller indicated he was with the American Cancer Society, then began asking inappro-priate questions, like “what is your bra size?”

Police performed a search on the number, but results came back empty. The area code was from Rhode Island. Police pro-vided safety tips to the girl.

WiRe THeFTSThieves made off with

three big copper wire hauls Jan. 31 in Issaquah.

Police received two reports of wire theft in new construction sites, one in the 3000 block of Northeast Harrison Drive valued at $5,000 and two in the 1600 block of 14th Place Northeast, valued at $15,000.

eGGinGA Sammamish woman

called police Jan. 26 to report that her daughter’s car was egged at some point during the evening. It ap-peared the car was hit with between six and 10 eggs. Police advised the woman to clean the car off quickly before the egg dried.

The victims were unsure of who would want to do this to the car.

aTTeMPTed FRaUdA Sammamish woman

called police Feb. 11 to report a man in West Africa requesting $700 to rent a home in Redmond. The woman, who was in contact with the man through emails, said she became concerned it was a scam and stopped communicat-ing with the man.

� ere’s no doubt that small businesses are a driving force in the American economy. And because they feel the shi� s in the economy so acutely, the insight of small business owners can provide a real-time picture of what’s going well and where potential problems lie.

� e semi-annual Bank of America Small Business Own-er Report explores the concerns, aspirations and perspec-tives of small business owners across the country, revealing messages of both optimism and caution.

Hopes are high among small business owners for a pro� table 2013 - more than half of those surveyed said they anticipate their revenue will increase in the next year. And most small business owners also feel they are in a good position in regards to capital, with 70 percent saying they have what they need to run their businesses e� ectively.

In addition to revenue, small business owners were op-timistic about hiring and sta� ng in 2013. In a challenging job market, 31 percent of small business owners say they plan to hire within the next year, which is good news for those seeking employment. A mere 3 percent said they had plans to reduce sta� numbers.

� e optimism revealed in those numbers isn’t the whole story. Pragmatic concerns about the outlook of the econo-my are still on the minds of many business owners. More than half said they have concerns about the e� ectiveness of government leaders, commodities prices, health care costs, the recovery of consumer spending and the strength of the U.S. dollar.

Despite those concerns, small business owners are not considering changing career paths. On the contrary, two-thirds of small business owners say they don’t regret their decision to go into business.

When it comes to keeping their own � scal houses in order, many small business owners admit they look for outside guidance – and only 29 percent ranked themselves as “very savvy” when it comes to managing their � nances. To make those critical decisions and plans, they rely on accountants, other small business owners, bankers and � nancial advisors. – Brandpoint

Cloud computing seen as productivity boost in 2013Small businesses seem optimistic about

increasing sales and hiring in 2013 and are looking to squeeze more productivity out of limited time, sta� ng and resources.

For these reasons, � nding the right busi-ness tools that can grow with you but also work well with the tools you already use are essential to helping your business focus on what you do best – serving your customers.

Having the right tools – such as business-class email, online meetings, remote access to documents, shared calendars and shared contacts – to create, collaborate, connect and help manage day-to-day tasks can help cut costs and increase productivity.

Naturally Me, a small company in Durham, N.C., that makes natural beauty products, uses Microso� O� ce 365 to hold regular-Web conferences.

“I downloaded the trial version and fell in love,” says Chaundra Smith, founder of Naturally Me. “I had no hesitations moving Naturally Me to the cloud because it’s from Microso� , so it felt safe and secure.”

Kevin Lisota, CEO and co-founder of � ndwell, a real estate startup in Seattle, makes comprehensive use of Microso� Exchange Online for its shared calendars, support for multiple email boxes and mobile messaging. “Our agents need to be able to send and receive email on all sorts of devices from anywhere they happen to be,” Lisota says. “� e sync capabilities of Exchange Online mean that I can easily enable my employees to get email on all their phones and computers from any Web browser.”

Imagination Yoga, a small, family-owned business in Portland, Ore., teaches a “kindness-based” curriculum instructing children on yoga concepts and storytell-ing to spark their creativity and get them exercising.

“Like most small businesses, we thought that the tools available with a service like O� ce 365 would be outrageously expensive and impossible for us to attain on our own,” says Jon Hopkins, co-founder of Imagina-tion Yoga. “But that’s de� nitely not the case with O� ce 365, which makes everything easy to set up and use at an a� ordable price.”

Having the right tools to improve com-munication and collaboration can make even the most challenging things, such as increasing that bottom line, seem more manageable. A cloud-powered small busi-ness is more nimble and prepares you to adapt to changing business needs – now and in the future. – Brandpoint

Microsoft is offering a 90-day free trials of Office 365 are available through the end of February.

Seven big trends for small businesses to watch in 2013Today, if you tell someone you’ll be in

touch, he or she may not only ask when, but how. Modern technology has dramati-cally changed the way we communicate.

Check out these leading trends set to amplify in 2013:Trend 1: Look to the clouds

Everyone is talking about cloud tech-nology these days, which basically means remote computing, leveraging the Internet. � is is great news for small and medium-sized businesses because cloud-based systems provide a plethora of tools, save costs and minimize maintenance. Online cloud services commonly used by small businesses include Skype, Dropbox and Google Docs.Trend 2: Era of social media

Social media’s growth continues to

boom. It’s cost e� ective and connects you to customers in ways never before pos-sible. Use Youtube, Twitter, Facebook and blogs as part of your business’ social media program. � e relationships you can build with key customers and the feedback they provide is invaluable.Trend 3: Workplace is everywhere

Technology enables people to stay con-nected and work from virtually anywhere, meaning the terms “o� the clock” or “away from the o� ce” are going extinct. Whether you’re working from home, at the o� ce, or in a co� ee shop, it is vital to be accessible at all times, especially if you run a small or medium-size business.Trend 4: Video conferencing grows

Traveling is costly and time-consuming. Video conferencing is a low-cost way to

meet with customers, prospects and suppli-ers from virtually anywhere with computer and Internet access. Common video con-ferencing resources include Skype, ooVoo and Cisco WebEx, making it easy to com-municate with individuals or groups.Trend 5: Apps keep things moving

Apps are not just fun and games – many are made speci� cally for the mobile o� ce, making on-the-go work easy. Plantronics Instant Meeting app, for example, allows one-click access to conference calls from a smartphone - no need to remember long conference codes and leader PINs when you’re out and about. Trend 6: Talk just got cheaper

Long distance phone calls to employ-ees, customers and prospects can quickly increase a phone bill. Internet-hosted

phone systems are becoming more popular because they are low cost, � exible and low maintenance. Skype is a good example of a voice-over-Internet service that allows individuals to communicate through video, voice and instant messaging using a headset.Trend 7: Devices talk among themselves

� ink how much more e� ective your communications would be if all your devices worked together. Fortunately, that now is happening and the technology trend is aptly called Uni� ed Communications (UC). It delivers voice, email, SMS, video conferencing and document sharing into a single interface so that you easily can relay any or all of your data to others. – Brand-point

Business News Briefs

Press release contact: Craig Groshart • [email protected] • 425-453-4233

Newsworthy: Press releases read like news – not sales or marketing promotions. If they read like advertising, editors will ignore them.Concise: Keep press releases short, just one or two pages, if possible.Catchy: Write an interesting lead that gets to the point, and fast. Everything of critical importance should be in the headline and the first paragraph. If it doesn’t pique the reader’s interest immediately, don’t expect anyone to wade through the rest.Jargon-Free: Your press release should be easily understood by anyone reading it. Get rid of unnecessary jargon.Current: Include the release date or “For Immediate Release” at the top of page one under the contact information and write “NEWS RELEASE” IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER. Targeted: Know your audience. Instead of sending your press release to a wide audience, develop a targeted list of the journalists and publications that cover the subject matter and are likely to be receptive by the readers.

Orderly: Write “more” at the bottom of the first page if there are multiple page. Use END, or -30- at the end of the last page, even for one-page press releases.Actionable: Include a contact name with telephone number and an e-mail address.

Responsive: When reporters contact you, respond promptly. The reporter who calls you may be working on a story for tomorrow’s paper or writing an article for an online news site that will be posted that day. If you call back too late, you won’t make it into the story.Attachments: Include a photo caption, sources, contact and a release date.

Timely: Take deadlines and lead times into account. Newspaper need copy daily, and wire services and Web sites can generate new copy hourly.Distribution: The Reporter Newspapers prefer you email your press release.

Follow up: Reporters receive numerous press releases on a daily basis. If you decide to follow up with a phone call, tell them immediately the topic of the release and the exact date you sent it to them.

For the � rst time in school history, Eastside Catholic is home to a state champion wrestler.

Sophomore Matt Iwicki won the 3A title at 120 pounds for the Crusaders with a 5-0 decision over Kiegen Schauer of Mount Spokane on Saturday to cap a near-� awless season.

A third-place � nisher at last year’s Mat Classic, Iwicki opened the tourna-ment with a 16-0 technical fall over Zack Moore of Hazen before winning an injury defeat over Lin-coln’s Avery Meyer. Wil Treadwell of Prairie had been unstoppable in his � rst two matches, winning by tech fall and pin, before meeting Iwicki, who won the match by fall in the third and � nal round.

A� er the disappoint-ment of missing out on a state title as a freshman, Iwicki said the feeling this year was unparalleled.

“My dad was right there in the corner,” he said. “Just

being able to hug everyone and cheer, it was a great feeling.”

Schauer took three deci-sions before being domi-nated in the title match by Iwicki, who collected a laundry list of accolades and trophies including Metro and district cham-pionships on his run to the program’s � rst individual state title at Mat Classic.

� e EC sophomore was dominating this year, suf-fering only a pair of defeats all season, and said the mo-tivation for this year began as soon as the � nal whistle sounded on his semi-� nal defeat in 2012.

“� ere was a lot of moti-vation from my coach, my dad and all my training partners,” he said. “A� er that loss, all I wanted to do was place as high as possible.”

Between prep seasons, Iwicki competed for Eastside Wrestling Club in Freestyle and Greco tournaments, qualify-ing for Nationals. He will take the same approach this time around and said training for the club season

begins next week. But even with an extensive resume that includes tournament wins against top competi-tion from around the state and region, Iwicki said the chance to bring a title back to Eastside Catholic and Sammamish stands out.

“I was glad to do that for my school and my team,” he said. “I hadn’t felt anything like that before.”

Skyline senior Sean McAlhaney made the most of his � nal state tournament with a third-place � nish, the highest among his teammates. A� er losing his � rst match by fall, McAl-haney stormed back with � ve straight wins to take third place at 220 pounds in the 4A bracket. A� er a 15-6 win kept him alive, he earned two more decisions and a pair of pins, including one early in the � nal round of the third-place match over Shaq Reed of Lake Stevens.

Nate Swanson lost both of his matches in the 106 pound bracket for Skyline, as did teammate Justin Ma-nipis at 113. Issaquah junior Torre Eaton also dropped a

pair of matches at 113 and Jordan Hamilton did the same at 120. Joseph DeMat-teo went 1-2 for coach Gus Kiss and the Spartans at 126 and Louden Ivey lost both of his matches in the same bracket for Issaquah. Sky-line junior Tristan Steciw � nished the 4A tournament 1-2 a� er an opening round win.

Joey Gurke made it to the quarter� nals with a pair of wins on the � rst day, including a 10-2 deci-sion and third round pin of Richland’s Pryce Seely. Gurke dropped his � nal three matches to end the tournament in sixth place at 138 pounds for Skyline.

Eastlake’s Eric Harper won his � rst match before being sent to the consola-tion bracket, where he ripped o� three wins in four matches to claim � � h place for the Wolves at 190.

Matt Solusod was 1-2 at 220 and Jonathan Norris ended the tournament 2-3 for Issaquah to claim eighth place.

Another year, another pair of state championships for Edward Kim.

� e Eastlake junior added two more titles on Sat-urday at King County Aquatic Center at the 4A state swim and dive championships, taking the 50 free for the second time in his career in a time of 20.11 seconds

and the 100 � y in 48 seconds even. Both were improvements upon his preliminary times and each was more than a second in front of the second place � nisher.

Issaquah � nished the day sec-ond in the team scoring behind champion Kamiak. � e Eagles were bolstered by the � nishes of their relay teams, including the state champ 200 free relay team of William Matsuda, Gabe Flor-

sheim, Henry Pratt and Spencer McColloh.Not to be outdone, Skyline brought home a cham-

pionship from KCAC as well, as senior Max Levy dominated the 1 meter diving competition with a � nal score of 463.50, more than 50 points in front of his clos-est competitor.

Nussbaum, Florsheim and McCulloh teamed with Austin Melody in the 200 medley relay, � nishing third in a time of 1:37.57. Eastlake’s team of Kim, Kuroshe Mahak, Markus Zimmerman and Jackson Berman was seventh in the A � nal.

Melody also made his way into the championship � nal of the 200 IM, � nishing the day sixth. Nussbaum was in the B � nal of the event as well for the Eagles. Florsheim earned his best individual � nish of the day in the 100 � y, where he was sixth.

Berman and Skyline’s Alec Raines swam in the B � nal of the 200 free.

While Kim stormed to the title in the 50 free, Mahak was also in the A � nal and ended the race in sixth in 22.39. Pratt and Florsheim swam the consolation � nal in the event for Issaquah.

Paul Jett of Skyline and McCulloh both swam in the B � nal of the 100 free as well.

Eastlake’s team of Mahak, Zimmermann, Kim and Berman was good for third in the 400 free relay, � nish-ing in 3:15.05.

Issaquah � nished the day fourth in the team scoring, with Eastlake ninth. Skyline ended the meet 16th.

Kim takes 2 more titles, Levy makes splash

It’s a Date� ings to do in Issaquah and Sammamish

Jasper Kitty is a large, black cat who is approxi-mately 6 years old and has a non-stop personal-ity.

Jasper is a curious boy who loves exploring and playing with the laser pointer. He’s been put on a diet recently due to his size but is starting to slim down. He would be a good � t in a home with no dogs or children. Jasper needs a mellow place where he can chill out, relax and express his unique purrsonality.

Jasper Kitty is up for adoption at Purrfect Pals Cat Shelter’s o� site adoption center at the Issaquah Petco location o� of Gilman Boulevard, near the new Trader Joe’s.
