Businesses, nonprofits and other organizations in Redmond who are looking to become more sustainable now have a program they can join to help them achieve their goals.
The Eastside Green Business Challenge (EGBC), which kicked off at the end of 2011, is a free program for local organizations and seven Eastside cities including Redmond that helps participants improve their “triple bottom line,” which includes profitability, environmental impact and social impact.
The program is run by the Eastside Sustainable Business Alli-ance (ESBA), an organization that works to support local groups who are adopting sustainable business practices. ESBA provides train-ing, resources and networking opportunities in order to increase environmental, economic and social prosperity in the region.
ESBA Founder and Director Paul Andersson said with the ris-ing cost of oil and other resources, it is easy to separate businesses that are heavily dependent on these resources from the ones who are not. He said the former are not serving their stakeholders well, which is why it is important to look at sustainable alternatives.
“I think it’s crucial,” Andersson said.
EBGC is one way organizations can do this.
On Tuesday, a workshop and training session was held at the Lake Washington School District Resource Center in Redmond to introduce the EGBC to the Red-mond community.
Tom Hinman, Redmond coordinator for ESBA, said Mayor John Marchione has supported the program and is encouraging busi-nesses to look at their environmen-tal impact and see how to change and improve that impact over time.
The EGBC gives businesses a structure to do this.
The program — which cur-rently has about 74 participants, with five to 10 from Redmond — has an interactive framework
Program helps business owners improve their bottom line
The weather forecast may call for gray skies and overcast for the foreseeable future, but brighter days are in store for Redmond’s Anderson Park at 7802 168th Ave. N.E.
Now through June 3 the park will play host to Artificial Light, an art installation by fiber artist Suzanne Tidwell.
Since last Saturday, the Sammamish resi-dent has been fitting knitted sleeves around trees at Anderson Park with the goal of outfit-ting 50 trees by March 8. Tidwell said she uses a “hot color palette” in colors that represent light for the brightly striped sleeves, which have also been called “tree socks” and “tree cozies,” to create a “sun” with each tree.
“The brighter the better,” she said.Tidwell said Artificial Light is a way to
bring a bit of color into the community dur-ing the drab Northwest winter days.
Peggy McMahon agrees.“It brightens up the winter,” the Redmond
native and longtime resident said.McMahon and her friend Karen Drew, who
both live in the Emma McRedmond Manor apartment complex across the street from An-derson Park, were out walking late Wednes-day morning when they came across Tidwell while she was working on her art installation.
The three women struck up a conversation about the project with McMahon and Drew questioning Tidwell on her work process as well as offering compliments.
“It sure is different,” McMahon said. “I like that.”

that allows organizations to track their progress in
seven categories: energy, waste, water, employees and outreach, materials, trans-portation and innovation.
Participants fill out a survey for each category to see where they are doing well and where they need
to improve. They can set goals and can monitor their progress with an online program that calculates numbers for their carbon footprint, energy usage and other factors.
“Large to small, any business can participate,” said Andersson, who gave a brief presentation on the EGBC at Tuesday’s event.
Participants will be scored on their efforts and awarded points. The participants with high scores in the various categories will be recognized and receive awards at the
end of the year.Andersson said the goal
for the program’s first year is to get 100 businesses to participate and save 10,000 metric tons of carbon diox-ide and $2 million collec-tively among participants.
Tuesday’s event also had a panel of representatives from four organizations discussing a few of their sustainable business prac-tices. The panel consisted of Keeney Office Supply gen-eral manager Steven Sterne, HDR Inc. (an architecture firm) Green Team com-
munity and environmental planner Sharon Wright, Pa-gliacci Pizza co-owner Matt Galvin and Cascade Power Group Chief Executive Of-ficer Chuck Collins.
Panel members discussed strategies that included reusing materials, switch-ing to compostable and recyclable materials, creat-ing programs and activities for employee involvement and supporting fellow local businesses.

Drew added that having such a public art display is also a good way to get people talking and build community as people will start asking their neighbors, “Did you see (the Artificial Light instal-lation)?”
Cathy Heidener also ap-proached Tidwell while she was working Wednesday morning.
The Bothell resident works at Serial Knitters Yarn Shop in Kirkland and just happened to be driving by Anderson Park. She said knitting has become trendy but a lot of people tend to just knit scarves, which can be a bit utilitar-ian. Heidener said seeing Tidwell’s installation shows people how fun and creative knitting can be.
She added that while most people driving or walking by will enjoy
Artificial Light for its visual appeal, people who knit or do any other handcraft will also recognize the work that went into the project.
“It’s a fun nod to the craft,” Heidener said.
Tidwell said her favorite part about Artificial Light is getting to talk to passersby while she works on the installation. She said she especially enjoys hearing from longtime residents who share sto-ries about how the area’s history.
Jessica Lambert, founder of Venues for Artists in the Local Area Eastside (VALA Eastside), said getting the community to connect with art and artists like this was one of the goals of Tidwell’s installation.
Lambert helped bring Tidwell and Artificial Light to the City of Redmond, presenting the artist and installation to the Arts Commission. She said Tidwell was a good fit for the city because nature plays such a significant role in Redmond and Tidwell
integrates nature in her art.“She’s a fiber artist,” Lambert
said. “Instead of using paintbrushes and canvases, yarns are her brushes and the world is her canvas.”
While Artificial Light is making its debut in Redmond, the instal-lation made its first appearance in Sammamish in December 2010.
Tidwell said the City of Sam-mamish had cut down a group of diseased trees located at a busy intersection in town. However, the trees were not completely removed and what remained were these roughly 20-foot-tall tree stumps. No one knew what to do with them so Tidwell petitioned the city and asked if she could knit sleeves for the stumps. It took about six months before she received a response and while she was approved, the project was met with resistance in the community
because she described the city as a world of beige and creams in contrast with the bright colors of Artificial Light.
“It’s just a very restrictive community,” Tidwell said. “They didn’t feel like (Artificial Light) belonged there.”
Instead of being discouraged by this response, Tidwell loved it. She said as an artist, not everyone will like what you do and it’s better to have people love or hate your work rather than feel nothing at all.
“It’s kind of great that I got that response,” she said about the resis-tance in Sammamish.
Artificial Light has also been installed in Seattle’s Occidental Park and City Hall Park.

Ives needs to quit hindering business growth in city
Former Mayor Rosemarie Ives needs to stay retired, and quit hindering business growth in Redmond.
She has been a major growth killer to our city for too long. She began this job-killing assault on Redmond when she chased Nordstrom’s out of the Redmond Town Center, and she continues her assault on the old Group Health hospital site. Just like trees, busi-nesses need a clear field to grow in. I would gladly trade 1,000 medium-sized businesses in Redmond for 3,000 smaller businesses. The same should be done with the trees.David J. Levesque, Redmond
Sustainable Redmond should drop its lawsuit
I am a longtime member of Group Health and would like to respond to the Sustainable Red-mond group petitioning the court to save trees.
Group Health is not in the business to sustain trees for the community. It is in the business to provide the best health service it can for the entire region, the best doctors, facilities, equipment and research for better treatment.
Anticipated funds from the sale of that vacated property have been tied up since a previous developer backed out of a deal on the last day of 2007.
Now after long study and work with the Redmond City Council, a new plan has been accepted. It ap-pears to have many benefits for the community, such as construction jobs, future jobs in retail and hotels, taxpayers to help with city service costs and others.
Sustainable Redmond and its “friends” should drop their lawsuit, let Group Health use proceeds from the sale of this land to improve the health care they provide and then they could all buy a couple of trees from the Big Tree Nursery and plant them on their own property.Jack Stahlheber, Redmond
Court appeal not a viable option for most people
I am writing in reference to the Jan. 6 Redmond Reporter article “Council sticks to decision on Overlake plan (Group Health).” This is the article that describes the current City Council’s decision to allow a developer to eliminate more than 1,100 trees in Overlake for a mixed-use development, even though the citizens have voiced their strong objection.
While we certainly value our natural resources here in the Pacific Northwest, the thing that was most disturbing about this article were
the comments made by Council President Pat Vache.
Vache remarked that people can appeal the decision through the Washington state’s King County Su-perior Court. Unfortunately, most of the public affected by Mayor Marchione/Council’s decision do not have the viable means to take such reactive measures that far.
The approach with the most common sense is for Mayor/Coun-cil to proactively accept citizen input instead of hiding behind the complexity of the court system to justify their decisions.
While the views of these citizens go unheard without going through the Superior Court, Vache and Mayor Marchione continue to demonstrate that the only voices they listen to are from the busi-ness development community that continues to nourish them.
Marchione continues to receive strong political support while Vache continues to benefit from the flat Business Head Tax for his business (he voted for twice), which accord-ing to 2007 estimates was half of the equivalent of the Bellevue tax.
Like spoiled milk, Vache was best served years ago. Having curdled on the council from 1981 to 1989, and then again in 2003, Vache’s expiration date has come and gone. Fortunately, he is up for re-election next year and hopefully the citizens of Redmond will replace him with someone else — that is if their ap-peal of the Overlake development decision to the Supreme Court isn’t taking too much of their spare time. Jim Robinson, Former Redmond City Council member
Neighborhood is not the same anymore
I live in what used to be a quiet family neighborhood.
Kids played in the street, parents walked their kids to school, walked their dogs, chatted on street corners and waved hello as they passed.
We knew the cars that be-longed and the cars that didn’t. We watched out for neighbors, strang-ers and each other.
All those things still happen on a daily basis around here: Kids and parents slide down a hill during
snow storms, neighbors take each other dinner or call to check in, strange cars are noted, unknown faces are searched and memorized.
But there’s an edge to all of it now. Our innocence has been lost, thrown away and departed.
Our quiet family street with children and pets and an occasional coyote or raccoon has transformed into an ongoing episode of COPS, Redmond style. Car prowls and thefts; speeding cars with loud engines and louder music at all hours of the day and night, police and aid cars at least once a month, and now, a gunshot and a fatality in our once peaceful neighborhood. Lives, peace, trust and families are now shattered.
What can we do? After speaking to the Redmond Police Department I learned we have options. We have recourse. We have help!
Some things I learned:Neighbors who call regarding
suspicious activity including cars that don’t belong on the street, “strangers,” and suspected illegal activity are the best resource for the police department/narcotics task force. If you suspect something is wrong, call it in.
Call 911 if an activity is taking place right away even if it’s not an emergency. Dispatch will send an officer to investigate.
Police are required to notify the owner of the home if a tenant commits a crime(s) in owner non-occupied homes (the owner of the home doesn’t live there).
Numbers to call:• Neighborhood Resource Officer
(Education Hill and other parts of Redmond): Officer Julie Beard (on duty after noon), (425) 445–0116
• Neighborhood Watch: Jim Bove (425) 445–2545
• Eastside Narcotics Task Force (Bellevue, Redmond, other Eastside communities): Tip Line, (425) 452 – 4289; Email tip line, [email protected]
It only takes one person to get involved to make a difference. Make that one person YOU! Don’t let your neighborhood be altered by the reality of crime and possibly death. Paige Norman, Redmond
Time for changes at intersections?
I almost died recently. I’m 52, active and healthy, with
three children in college and a hus-band who loves me. I almost died, and I would never have known what hit me.
What I did was stupid, I’ll admit it. But let me start at the beginning.
After work, I headed to Gold’s Gym on Union Hill Road. There was no parking there, so I parked at Kohl’s, on the other side of 178th Avenue Northeast. I noticed that several people parked at Kohl’s were running across the street to Gold’s, to avoid the traffic light at Union Hill, and shook my head at the risks people will take, in the dark. I crossed at the light.
After class I left Gold’s, returned to the light, and began to cross when the lights turned green.
That was my almost fatal mis-take, because I didn’t notice that the west-bound left-turn arrow was also green. Fortunately, the left-turning car saw me, and stopped in the intersection before turning left across my crosswalk. But that wasn’t how I nearly died - my leash was actually much shorter than that.
As I became aware of the car waiting to turn left, I simultane-ously became aware of the sound of a large engine directly to my left, in my lane. You see, there was also a green right arrow for northbound vehicles in the curbside lane, to turn east onto Union Hill Road.
There’s no reason the truck should have seen me, in my dark pants and jacket, walking into the street directly in its path while it had a green arrow. But it did and it stopped. I never even saw it; the magnitude of the danger didn’t strike me until I was across the street, and by then it was gone.
I’m going to guess that this has happened to others. The light turns green; often people start moving without noticing that an arrow is also lit. That’s usually recover-able, because there’s time to see your error. But the other arrow is dangerous. Merely stepping into the street, when all the lights are green, can put you directly in the path of a fast-moving vehicle, with no time for anyone to react.
Green lights and a green arrow have a different impact from red lights and a green arrow, in terms of the mistakes or decisions people will make. And that arrow for northbound traffic is invisible to the pedestrian, yet it’s the most important fact of all.
There’s a risk-benefit problem here. The northbound right-turn arrow is very dangerous, invisible to pedestrians, and not necessary. I hope my survival might influ-ence change, so a tragedy can be avoided.Dana Good, Redmond

GETTING THE FULL TREATMENTFluoride treatments during regular professional cleanings make sense for adults because adults can still get cavities. This is especially true at the root surfaces and under crowns, which become exposed as adult gums recede. Particularly susceptible to cavities are root surfaces because they lose mineral faster than enamel does. With this in mind, higher concentrations of fluoride provided by topical treatments may be needed for adequate protection. It should also be noted that many adults take certain medications and have medical conditions that cause dry mouth, which is a condition that increases the risk of cavities in adults. Fluoride makes teeth more resistant to acids produced by bacteria and helps remineralize tooth surfaces already under attack. Getting too much fluoride can be as harmful as getting too little. Your dentist will assess the need for fluoride on an individual basis.

AGE BEFORE DUTY? Does stress reduce life expectancy? To find out if stress plays a role in shortening the lives of people burdened with major responsibility, researchers looked at the life expectancies of all the U.S. presidents (excluding the four who were assassinated) and compared them with how long they actually lived. One might assume that the aging effect of serving as U.S. president would shorten the lives of these prominent Americans if one were to compare before and after pictures during their terms in office. Researchers found that, despite their noticeably graying hair and deepening wrinkles, 23 of the 34 presidents who died of natural causes lived longer than expected. It seems good health care trumps visible signs of aging.
P.S. The president longevity study mentioned above provides further evidence of the benefits of “successful aging,” which entails disease avoidance, maintenance of high mental and physical function, and social engagement.
PETERS CREEK RETIREMENT/ASSISTED LIVING hopes you found this topic to be both interesting and informative. The health and well-being of our senior residents are priorities to us.

...WONDERFUL WORLD OF PETS
You go to the vet, and they put Spot on
the scale. Uh, not good. You real-ize that Spot’s ribs have mysteriously vanished. And the vet gives you “the look.” You know the one. It’s time for the lecture - and you’re ready with your de-fense: “I’m just feeding the amount it says on the bag!”
Reality check. Everything on that bag - the striking wolf/mountains/show dog photo, the intense colors, the gigantic letters scream-ing “Grain free. You are scum if you feed your dog anything else" — is de-signed to sell you dog food. Lots of dog food. Those label recommendations are for some non-existent, hyperac-tive, metabolically inefficient dog. They are not made for a dog anyone actually owns, and certainly not for your dog.
Save some money and feed your dog less.
“He doesn’t even eat all his food!”
Well, if he doesn’t eat it all, and he’s still overweight, you’re feeding too much for Fido’s metabolism and amount of exercise. The only way to lose weight is to ei-ther eat less or exercise more.
“All he eats is dry food!”You know, if you were
going to try (perhaps for a strenuous hiking expe-dition) to pack the most calories into the smallest storage space possible, you’d create dry dog food. Think of it – no filler, no fiber, no water, just good healthy
high protein and fat ingredients, packed into an ef-ficient high calorie low volume kibble. Canned food — largely water and blessedly over-priced — is much
less likely to be overfed.“She just eats a few treats
a day!”Seriously, how big is
Fluffy’s stomach? For a toy dog, it might be the size of a half-dollar. Maybe 10 kibbles a day is a full ration for your Chihuahua. Maybe those two dog biscuits for a 6-pound dog are the equivalent of 20 cookies for a 150-pound person.
“We cut back and he’s still not losing weight!”
Cutting the calories enough to main-tain weight is hard. For a dog to lose weight, they must eat even less.
It is cruel and unfair that some dogs — and people — gain weight on air. Labs and bea-gles are especially “easy keepers.”
Unfortunately, this type of metabolism often coexists with a perpetually ravenous appetite - you cannot fill up a lab.
For these desert island survivor dogs, some type of diet/low-calorie dog food, perhaps with added raw veggies, may be the only way to provide the required nutrients within the limited calories that he can ingest. On the other hand, a dog continuing to gain weight in spite of heroic efforts may indeed have a medical problem like hypothyroid-ism or Cushing’s disease. It is worth discussing with your vet.
“We can’t get her to exercise!”
For those of you with porky dogs, one effective weight loss plan is “Fetch the food.” Forget the bowl. Toss each kibble indi-vidually down the hall and make them run for it. They get exercise. You get bored, which makes you far less likely to feed ANY extra!Dr. Terri Hartung is a veterinarian at Redmond-Kirkland and Redmond-Fall City Animal Hospitals.

Redmond High sopho-more Eric Klassen added his name to his family's storied tradition of diving success with a fourth-place finish at the 4A state dive meet last Saturday at the King County Aquatics Cen-ter in Federal Way.
Klassen was in third place after the preliminary round on Friday with 269.75 points, and despite one failed dive on Saturday – of which the circumstanc-es were out of his control – the 10th-grader was able to hold on to fourth with a total of 335.45 points.
Head coach Julie Barashkoff turned in the sophomore's dive sheet to the WIAA about a week in advance, but some numbers apparently got switched in the data entry process.
Long story short, one of Klassen's dives did not match what was on the sheet, so although he per-
formed it brilliantly, it was scored as a failed dive.
"The dive I wanted to do, they did not have written down on the sheet, or in the computer program … so they didn't give my the points on my dive," recalled Klassen, who took the misfortune well. "I'm happy. I just wanted to get top five this year, and I made my goal even with a failed dive, and that made it all the better."
South Kitsap senior Jesse Labeda-Sutton, diving with a broken wrist he sustained earlier in the week, won the competition over Skyline's Max Levy, 391.55 points to 388.50.
IN A KLASS OF THEIR OWNKlassen has two older
brothers, Phillip and Max, who had done their share of damage in the state dive competition over the years.
Phillip, who missed most of the season with a back injury, placed third last year as a sophomore, with Max
winning it all back in 2009 for the Mustangs in his senior year after previously placing third and second.
The youngest Klassen said that it was difficult at first diving without his brother's support.
"It was a little different not having him there," said Eric, whose older brothers were cheering him on from the stands last Saturday. "I wasn't uncomfortable, but I just wish he could have com-peted. He was going to have a great season ahead of him."
Having coached all three Klassen boys, Barashkoff noted that there is a com-petitive fire burning among them when they step up on the diving board.
"As far as brothers go, they're really close and en-courage each other through
the competitive relationship they have," she noted. "It might have been Eric's time to step up, be in the spotlight and have free reign of the board, and he did."
STATE MEMORIESIn the pool, one Mus-
tang was able to qualify for Saturday's finals.
Nicholas Kodati, swim-ming the 100-yard butterfly, placed 10th overall with a finals time of 54.04 seconds.
Though the 400 free relay squad – and freshman Xavier Graham in the 200 IM – finished a heartbreak-ing 17th, one spot out of the consolation heat on Saturday, Barashkoff said that the ex-perience of swimming on the big stage at the Aquatics Cen-ter was a priceless moment
for her swimmers, some of whom had never even set foot in the facility before.
"It was fantastic," Barash-koff said, recalling the excite-ment of her lone senior, Drew McWhirter. "He's not a club swimmer and only swam high school, but he was so excited to be a member of the state team, happy to be there. It was fun to watch and see things through his eyes."
One thing is for sure – the Mustangs will only get faster next year as nearly everyone returns, and with the team's lethal one-two punch of Phillip and Eric Klassen, the sky's the limit for the squad next season.
"We're looking really good, with (the Klassens) and the leadership with all our juniors returning," Barashkoff said. "I'm looking forward to it."

EASTLAKE’S ALLEvA SHINES AT STATE MEET
Zach Alleva, a Redmond senior who swims for Eastlake, had a fine state meet, placing fourth
in the 100 freestyle in 48.32, and posting an All-American
consideration time of 58.06 in the breaststroke for second place
behind Kamiak’s Liam Sosinsky (57.45). Alleva also swam a leg
of the Wolves’ 400 free relay, which placed second by .04 of a
second behind Kamiak, (3:14.51-3:14.47) and the 200 medley
relay, which placed third.

For the Bear Creek School boys’ basketball team and head coach Scott Moe, the opportunity to cut the net down every year at Chief Leschi School in Puyallup is getting to be old hat.
Last Saturday night, the Grizzlies polished off their record third straight 2B Bi-District Tournament title, and fourth in five years, with a 48-36 win over La Conner.
The Grizzlies (21-2) will now take on Wahkiakum in the one-game Region-als round at 8 p.m. Feb. 24 at Mount Vernon High School. With a win on Fri-day, the team will advance to the 2B state tournament in Spokane for the third consecutive season.
“They’re very big, very good, and battle-tested,” Moe said of the Wahkia-kum Mules, located in the southwest corner of the state, where Moe drove 350 round-trip miles to scout on Monday. “We’ve been working hard this week and hope to crack their 3-2 zone. It should be a fun one on Friday night … we’re going
to play hard, play well, and take it to ‘em for 32 minutes.”
LADY GRIZZLIES HOLD OFF TACOMA BAPTIST
The fourth quarter wasn’t pretty, but the Bear Creek girls’ team did just enough to win, holding off Tacoma Baptist to take the Bi-Dis-trict championship, 34-30.
The team will now ad-vance to play in the Region-als round against Toutle Lake on Saturday at Mount Vernon High School, at 6 p.m. With a win, the girls will earn a berth to the 2B state tournament at Spo-kane Arena next weekend.
Bear Creek basketball teams claim district titles, aim for state berths

PCC and the Burke Museum present “Hungry Planet”
PCC is partnering with the Burke
Museum of Natural History and
Culture to present “Hungry Planet:
What the World Eats.” Hungry
Planet examines how people from
different countries and cultures
feed their families. The exhibit
also features “Salish Bounty:
Traditional Native American Foods
of Puget Sound,” which explores
5,000 years of traditional tribal
diets, as well as the revitalization
of native food traditions. The
exhibit currently is on display and
runs through June 10. During
that time, PCC Cooks will provide
weekend tastings, PCC staff
will offer nutrition lectures and
programs on food production
and distribution, and more. For a
full list of dates and details, visit
pccnaturalmarkets/r/1194.
Going vegetarian one meal or more each week can improve your personal health and the health of the planet by reducing the amount of energy and finite resources farmers use to raise livestock. Even better, going meatless weekly also can taste great with the help of hearty recipes that don’t skimp on flavor.
Why Monday? Leading public health schools including Johns Hopkins, Syracuse and Columbia say Monday is the best day each week for a fresh start, to form and stick with healthy new habits.
Why meatless? Those same public health schools say going meatless even once a week may help reduce your risk of chronic conditions like cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity. Reducing demand for meat also can help conserve precious resources such as the fossil fuel to operate all the machinery used to grow livestock feed and the fresh water used to irrigate all those crops. When you do eat beef or lamb, they strongly recommend meat from
grass-fed herds, free of artificial hormones and raised on pasture rather than in feedlots.
Kick off your Meatless Mondays with this delicious recipe for Black Bean and Yam Quesadillas. Then find even more hearty vegetarian recipes in PCC’s Recipe Database: pccnaturalmarkets.com/pcc/recipes/taste/meatless-mondays You might be surprised how delicious beans, grains, tempeh and other meat alternatives can be.
Meatless Monday: a growing movementBlack Bean and Yam QuesadillaServes 1 (2 quesadillas)1 teaspoon olive oil, plus extra for spraying 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 1 clove garlic, finely chopped 1 teaspoon Mexican seasoning (available wherever bulk spices are sold) 2 teaspoons water 1 cup grated yam (about 1/2 medium yam) 1/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained Salt and pepper 2 corn or wheat tortillas 1/3 cup grated cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese Your favorite prepared salsa
Heat the oil in a medium, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes or until onion is soft. Add the seasoning and water and cook 1 more minute, stirring. Add the yam and beans, stir. Cover and cook for about 6 minutes until the yam is tender but not mushy. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to a bowl.
Place tortilla in a skillet; spray with olive oil. Turn over and spray the other side. Add some of the mixture to half of the tortilla, top with some of the cheese and fold tortilla in half. Cook in a skillet on each side for about 2 minutes, until cheese melts and the filling is warm. Repeat with other tortilla. Serve with prepared salsa.
