Trustees OK purchase of iPads, computers

‘Rambling thru the Ranch’

School board expected to vote on deployment of iPads June 7 BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District is going to be flush with new technology in the fall as the board approved the purchase of 52 iPads and 240 desktop computers at its May 3 meeting. The 52 iPads will be for teachers, at a cost of $28,818. District superintendent Lindy Delaney wanted to get the new technology into their hands over the summer. On June 7, the board is expected to vote on the iPad deployment for students and they are leaning toward the model of 1:1 implementation at the middle school level, six iPads per classroom at the K-6 level, and 10 iPads for special education. The total cost of the student iPads will be $275,682 per estimates given at the board’s technology retreat last month. Delaney said the technology retreat was very helpful and she believes the district is being thoughtful in its decision to implement the mobile learning devices. “I think we’re moving in the right direction,” said Delaney.

RSF Faculty Association requests salary and benefit increases BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Faculty Association made its initial proposal to the Rancho Santa Fe School board on its new three-year contracts on May 3, requesting increased salary and benefits and a continuation of the board policy to allow faculty children to attend R. Roger Rowe School. Steve Rossier, faculty association representative, said the last three years have been “remarkable” for the teachers, enduring the construction and temporary classrooms and finally mov-

ing into their “beautiful new campus.” He said that teachers have continued to exceed the district’s high standards with additional responsibilities and duties added with no salary increase and “the continued erosion” of their benefits. “From an analysis of our budget, the percent the district spends on teachers’ salaries ranks the lowest of basic aid districts in San Diego, while the percent the district spends on classified See FACULTY, page 26

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RSF Association board briefs May 3 meeting

Buzz: Osuna Ranch property update

BY KAREN BILLING Osuna adobe designation It is the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s hope that the Osuna adobe will soon be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Association’s Osuna Ranch Committee recommended applying for the designation. Kirk Dakan, senior planner, said Association staff looked into the issue to see if there are any undue restrictions or results of having such a designation. “There doesn’t seem to be any real downside to having it on the National Register,” Dakan said. One advantage of the designation is that it gives greater access to grants but Dakan said the Association would likely not be interested in grants. The upside would be the honor of the adobe being considered historically significant by a national organization, Dakan said. “It puts a stamp on the project of having some importance,” said RSF Association President Jack Queen. “I think it’s great.” Applying for the designation does not have a fee and the process typically takes six months to a year. A free plaque is not one of the perks of registration, Dakan’s report said. If the Association wants a plaque they must pay for it but the plaque is not required. ***** 2012-13 Association budget to be mailed The Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved the printing and mailing of the 210213 preliminary budget at its May 3 meeting. Association CFO Steve Comstock said the assessment rates will remain the same for residents: 14 cents per $100 of property valuation with 11.5 cents going to general services and 2.5 cents for open space. The annual member budget hearing will be held Wednesday, May 23, at 9 a.m. in the Association office. After hearing member input, the board will be asked to adopt the final budget at its regular board meeting on June 21. ***** Update on playground During committee liaison reports, Association board member Larry Spitcaufsky said that the new Rancho Santa Fe playground is “still in limbo.” The Association’s trails and recreation committee is still working with one neighbor — due to a deed restriction — to get permission to place the playground at Rancho Santa Fe Field on Ramblas de las Flores. In November 2011, the board granted $25,000 toward purchasing play equipment and tasked trails and rec. with finding a suitable location. The equipment will cater to children ages 2 to 9.

BY RSF ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT JACK QUEEN When the RSF Association purchased the Osuna Ranch property almost six years ago it was for the 27 acres of open space and the historic adobe house. Also included in the purchase was a home located on the south side of the property that was not a major factor in the decision to make the purchase. About two years ago the board decided to sell off the home as we could see no foreseeable community need to use the house. It was felt the proceeds could be better utilized to improve the property and/or make a more strategic open space purchase. The first step in the process was to divide off the house with 3 acres as a separate legal parcel of land and this was completed about 60 days ago. The next step was to identify a local real estate professional to handle the sale for the Association at the best possible price. In order to be fair to all potential participants, the Association’s Finance Committee put together a formal Request for Proposal, commonly known as an RFP, seeking bids that would include: outlining a marketing plan, commission proposal, histo-

ry of experience in marketing similar properties and proposed listing price. All potential candidates were required to be real estate agents that had their main offices in our community. As you can imagine, we had a significant number of RFDs submitted and the proposals were very competitive. Based on the merits of their RFP, the number of applicants was narrowed down to a group of finalists and the actual person selected to handle the listing was chosen by the very scientific method of drawing the Jack Queen name out of a hat. Linda Sansone with Willis Allen was selected as our representative and the list price will be $2,000,000. If anyone has an interest in the property you can contact Linda or one of her associates at 858-775-6356 or LindaSansone.com. In addition to listing the house, other steps of the first phase of the restoration of the Osuna Rancho have been completed. The driveway and entrance have been brought up to Fire Department standards, electrical and other utility boxes are being removed from the adobe and a kiosk is being built to house them and the riding stables has been assessed as to its financially stability by the Finance Committee. As I have been quoted before, the Adobe itself looks worse today than it did six years ago. To date, with little funding, our Osuna Committee, chaired by past Association Board President Ron McMahon, has been hard at work on plans to restore the Adobe itself. As the oldest adobe in California still in its original location, it is being nominated for a California Historical designation and will, as determined by previous boards, be restored to a historical period of circa 1860 so it can promote the understanding and knowledge of the multi-culturally rich Rancho era. This is a very exciting time since once monies from the house sale are received, we can begin to see real progress on this valuable asset that I believe will join the Garden Club, the Rancho Santa Fe School, the Riding Club and the Inn as a center for cultural, education and entertainment activity here in Rancho Santa Fe.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

May 10, 2012

RSF Association board candidates explain why they want to serve dation. If the number of votes needed are received, Putnam and McAllister will fill the board seats being vacated by outgoing directors Jack Queen and Dick Doughty, whose three-year terms expire at the end of June. Below is some biographical information on the two new pro-

This year’s Rancho Santa Fe Association board candidates are Rochelle Putnam and Craig McAllister. Ballots for the uncontested election will be sent out May 10 and are due by 5 p.m. on June 11. While there are only two candidates for two seats, the Association must still go through the election process—75 votes are needed for each candidate for valiName: Rochelle Putnam Years lived in the Covenant: Five-and-ahalf Occupation: Retired (previously in financial services) Community activities: Served on the following RSF Association committees: Roads and Traffic (chair), Trails, Long Range Planning (chair), Broadband (chair), Community Rochelle Putnam Awareness (chair). Also currently serving as a board member of the Rancho Riding Club Awards, honors: 2011 Community Service Award, Rancho Santa Fe. Graduated from Harvard in 1984. 1.) Why did you decide to run for a seat on the RSF Association board? Rancho Santa Fe is a fabulous place to live and I enjoy contributing my time and energy to the community. 2.) What do you think is the most valuable experience and/or skills you would bring to service on the RSF Association board?

Of the committees I’ve served on, the one that gave me the broadest insight into Rancho Santa Fe was the Long Range Planning Committee, which I was appointed by the board to chair. We surveyed the community on a wide variety of topics and put together the Long Range Plan for the Association. This year-long project gave me really valuable insight into what’s important to the residents of the community. I also have an extensive customer service background in financial services; I was a Managing Director for a $2.5 billion firm with budget oversight of $20 million and 250 staff. 3.) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the RSF Association/Covenant? Our biggest challenge is the current real estate market. The decline in property values will impact revenues for the Association and we need to keep a close eye on our finances. We need to make sure that prospective home buyers are aware of the wonderful amenities that the Covenant has to offer, and, toward that end, update and upgrade our website. Additionally, we need to continue working to expand the availability of high-speed Internet access. 4.) What, if anything, would you like to change about how the RSF Association operates? See PUTNAM, page 21

spective board members. They also answer questions about why they want to serve on the board and more. The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Annual Meeting will be held on May 10, at 5 p.m., at the RSF Garden Club.

Name: Craig McAllister Years lived in the Covenant: 15 Occupation: I am basically retired, but am still dabbling in marketing for a couple of companies I am associated with. Community activities: My Craig McAllister primary community activity centers around the Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club. 1.) Why did you decide to run for a seat on the RSF Association board? Having worked on the Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club Board for eight years (being president in 2010/2011), I was ready to try my hand at something else within the community. It was suggested to me by several Association board members that I should consider running for a seat on the board, and that seemed like a good idea. I have had the opportunity to interact with the Association board on a number of occasions, and felt comfortable that I could contribute something to the board.

valuable experience and/or skills you would bring to service on the RSF Association board? Without question, my most valuable experience would be my marketing background. In this regard, I plan on being on the Community Awareness Committee, which will be working on re-doing the Association website. Further, I have already had the opportunity to review the findings of the excellent survey done by the Association’s “Marketing RSF” subcommittee, which was spearheaded by Rochelle Putnam (who will also be joining the board with me in July). 3.) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the RSF Association/Covenant? Perhaps I am biased, but I think the marketing of the Covenant to potential new members of the community is a big issue. As indicated in the above-mentioned survey’s findings, we need to be able to “ensure that Rancho Santa Fe remains a highly desirable place to live.” 4.) What, if anything, would you like to change about how the RSF Association operates? In general, I think that the way the RSF Association runs is actually quite good. I have had the opportunity over the years, as a board member and president of the RSF

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local resident thrives on long-standing role as Padres ball girl BY KAREN BILLING With 15 seasons as a ball girl under her belt, local resident Nina Detrow might be the longest serving San Diego Padre on the field at Petco Park. She’s snagged line drives off All Star Justin Upton, worked the 1998 World Series against the Yankees and has appeared on ESPN’s SportsCenter Top Ten Plays of the Week three times. She estimates she ran closer Trevor Hoffman’s jacket in from the bullpen close to 300 times and worked one 22 inning game where they had three seventh inning stretches. “They pay us but all of us would do it for free,” Detrow said. “I’m so blessed to do it, I’m so thankful.” Detrow is one of a crew of eight Padres ball girls, rotating games. Their job is to help speed up the game—it’s not that the players are lazy but they can’t possibly shag every ball. That’s where the ball girls come in. “It adds a unique female presence to the sport. I’m shocked how many autographs and pictures we take every game,” said Detrow, noting they’re especially popular with young female baseball fans. Detrow has always loved the game, playing softball through high school. She is also a five-time winner in the women’s Over the Line beach baseball tournament held in Mission Beach. Her son Mark is a junior outfielder on the Torrey Pines High varsity baseball team and she has her fingers crossed that she will be a ball girl long enough to see him get drafted and share the field with him some day. Detrow got a kick out of three of her plays making SportsCenter Top Ten Plays over the years. One was that Upton line drive, another was a looper off Sean Burroughs she caught while holding her ball girl stool in her other hand and the last was a line drive off the bat of David Eckstein. Her most memorable game was the 1998 World Series; her father was a lifetime Yankee fan and it was her first season as a ball girl. “We’re not just watching the game, we’re studying every single pitch,” Detrow said. Because ball girls are positioned right in the action, they

Nina Detrow has been a Padres ball girl for 15 seasons. can never take their eye off the ball—Detrow said she’s lucky that in 15 years she’s never been hit and has had no close calls. “The worst is when they put ‘Error-Ball girl’ on the Jumbotron,” Detrow said. “There’s really only been one or two over the years that I should’ve had.” Situated on the third base line in the outfield, Detrow also gets pretty close with the season ticket holders who have seats near her station. “I’ve been friends with so many season ticket holders. One boy I gave a ball to grew up and just got drafted by the Royals. I’ve been to weddings and, sadly, a funeral,” Detrow said. “They become your family every year, they’re the ones that come religiously to every game.” Petco Park brings Detrow a lot closer to the fans than

Qualcomm, where the Padres played until the new park opened in 2004. Detrow loves the new park and that the fans are right there on the field, but she admits it created a different kind of ball girl experience. “It’s scary because we’re so much closer to the action and there’s less time to react,” Detrow said. Ball girls also have the tough gig of tossing souvenir balls into the stands. Detrow said she usually gives priority to children and she gets a lot of birthday ball requests. “Probably the best thing is interacting with the fans and giving a kid a ball. They scream and everyone cheers and I watch them just hold it and stare at it,” Detrow said. “It makes their day, their life even. I’m sad when I don’t get enough foul balls to give out in a game.” A true baseball fan, Detrow works a trip to the ballpark into every vacation she takes. She has visited 15 Major League Baseball parks and was present for the 100th anniversary on April 20 of one of the games’ oldest stadiums, Fenway Park in Boston. She is dying to see the Baltimore Orioles’ Camden Yards and she would love to get down to Miami to check out the flashy new Marlins Park. As someone who’s logged a lot of time down at Petco this season, Detrow tells Padres fans to keep an eye on Nick Hundley, who she said, “is really heating up.” She’s also a fan of Will Venable, Chase Headley, the “newbie” Yonder Alonso and loves infielder Andy Parrino. “I’m excited for Cameron Maybin, personality-wise he’s really fun, and pitchers Josh Spence and Andrew Cashner too,” Detrow gushes of her guys. “All of the Padres are really nice and (Manager) Bud Black has done a great job to create a friendly, accessible team for fans. They make time to sign autographs and everything is really fan oriented. That’s a change all of the ballparks have made and I love stuff like that.” For tickets to upcoming games, visit www.padres.com.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

R. Roger Rowe School to celebrate 20th annual Ocean Weeks The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation is proud to support the 20th annual Ocean Weeks at R. Roger Rowe School. Assemblies in the Performing Arts Center (PAC) will launch the celebration on Monday, May 21, with an original musical by Maureen Cassarino, “A Coral Line,” set design and performances by 8th grade students. During the following twoweek celebration, classrooms and science labs will be transformed into ocean realms, and students will engage in a variety of ocean-related experiences. Fourth graders will create kelp forest wonderlands. Fifth graders will study the open ocean, and the mysterious giant squid while dissecting (and tasting!) their local cousins. All K-8 students will participate in habitat-themed activities over the two weeks, rotating through exciting, hands-on lessons led by teachers at their grade level. In addition to classroom activities, students will take their ocean exploration out into the field with adventures like the second grade’s “Beach Teach” at La Jolla Shores, the 6th graders’ study of renewable resources at the Birch Aquarium at Scripps, and the 7th grade tour of Sea World’s polar seas exhibits. Visitors will include Scripps researcher Ben Grupe, offering middle school students a look at his recent deep-sea exploration off Chile. Third grade students will learn about “Wetlands in Peril” from Scripps research scientist Simon Freeman. The RSF Library will host an “Earth Dome presentation” for all K-6 students, launching their summer reading program. The school will be festooned with an “Under-the Sea” theme for the Ocean Open House on May 30 from 5:30-7 p.m. featuring student artwork and ocean murals. Parents and students will be treated to an ocean-inspired concert, and exhibits will include live ocean animals from Birch Aquarium, an in-

flatable whale from Sea World, and the San Diego Diver will feature scuba programs and equipment. Tables staffed with studentdocents will highlight the habitats featured at each grade level; kindergarten will feature a pond exhibit, 1st grade the rocky seashore, 2nd grade sandy beach, 3rd grade wetlands, 4th grade kelp forests, 5th grade open ocean, 6th grade coral reef, 7th grade polar seas, and 8th grade the deep sea. A demonstration pool featuring 8th grade Tech 21 student-built ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) will be featured, along with a table highlighting the Go Green Club’s sale of waste-free lunch ware. Ocean Weeks are the year-long culmination of an ocean study partnership with the Birch Aquarium at Scripps, incorporating ocean concepts into the K-8 curriculum from UC Berkeley’s Lawrence-Hall of Science and the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. This dynamic, inquiry-based science program where students explore earth, life, and physical science, integrating language arts, music, and visual arts, through the lens of marine science, has been at the core of RSF’s Ocean Week program for the past 20 years. Roberta Dean, a co-founder of the program, and former education specialist from the Birch Aquarium at Scripps, coordinates the Scripps Ocean Partnership. The Scripps Ocean Partnership is supported by the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation through the generous contributions of parents and community partners. Ocean Weeks are an excellent example of how the RSFEF contributes to the differentiation at the Rancho Santa Fe School through exposing and integrating science into our children’s day to day lives. Ocean science will be part of their futures. For more information and a full schedule of events, please visit the Ddistrict’s website, www.rsfschool.net.

Board approves smoking ban at SD County Fair, starts in 2013 BY JOE TASH Smoking has been officially snuffed out at the San Diego County Fair, beginning in 2013. Members of the governing board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which oversees the state-owned Del Mar fair-

RSF Garden Club offers two new lecture series begining in June The Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club will again host two courses through Cal State San Marcos and The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) OLLI provides mature learners (50 years and older) with an intellectually challenging program of non-credit courses taught by local professors and other experts in their respective fields. The RSF Garden Club will host two six -week courses on Thursdays, from 9:30-11:30 a.m., beginning on June 21. Osher Lifelong Learning Institute offers a course titled “The Movie Camera And The Ballot Box: Hollywood And Politics” presented by Professor Jack Williams. From an early date, filmmakers used the media to advance various ideas that involved political motives. American cinema has been used to spread unethical propaganda and to promote genuine enlightenment. At times, individual movies have gone beyond the overt political intentions of filmmakers to create their own unintended ideological consequences. What are the major political themes seen in the movies over time? How has Hollywood responded to the politics offered by rival centers of film making in Asia and Europe? In what ways have recent films reflected, or rejected, contemporary American values? Thursday afternoon from 1-3 p.m., Osher Lifelong Learning Institute offers a second course titled

“The Art Of The Renaissance” presented by professional art historian, educator and metaphysical researcher, Douglas R. Barker M.A. Are you planning a trip to Italy, the Low Countries or Germany? Fascinated by art? Wishing to enrich yourself culturally? Art history can fulfill a number of purposes but the sheer enjoyment of beautiful works of art and architecture and a desire to know more about their origins and purpose is reason enough! In addition, the study of the careers of some of the greatest artists in the history of Western art can provide life-enhancing inspiration and change. Douglas R. Barker will take you on a slide-illustrated journey through European art and architecture from 1350 to 1600. The Osher Institute offers a “requirement free” environment that does not involve examinations or grades, and is open to all interested older adults. Come for the pure joy of learning!

grounds, voted unanimously in favor of the smoking ban at their meeting on Tuesday, May 8. “I was thrilled, I think it’s a wonderful step for them,” said Kathy Lippitt of Rancho Santa Fe, who was one of 11 speakers who urged the board to enact a smoking ban at the fairgrounds. “They’re a credit to public health policy.” The board’s vote means that as of next year, smoking will be banned anywhere on the fairgrounds during the run of the San Diego County Fair, which generally starts in early June and ends around the 4th of July. The ban would not be in place during other events at the fairgrounds, such as the annual horse racing meet. Fair board members said banning smoking during the fair is a priority because the event attracts so many families with children. At this year’s fair, which begins June 8, smoking will be permitted only at one of four designated areas around the fairgrounds, down from five smoking areas during the 2011 fair. Board member David Watson said the panel agrees that smoking is bad, but that fairgrounds staff had said a total ban would be difficult to enforce. However, a number of speakers suggested that with proper signage, advance notice for the public, and training for fairgrounds workers, enforcement wouldn’t be a problem. “Usually smoke-free policies are much easier to manage and communicate than designated smoking areas,” said Debra Kelley of the local chapter of the American Lung Association. “I believe the only thing the fair has to fear is fear itself. I think you’re ready to go smoke-free and it’s going to work.” A number of speakers said a total ban is needed because many people continue to smoke outside of designated areas, exposing children to second-hand smoke. A subcommittee of board members will now work on the details of the new policy in time for next year’s fair. Board vice president Frederick Schenk said the board will make sure the public has plenty of notice about the new policy, and that signs announcing the fairgrounds as smoke-free are prominently posted. Another aspect of the new policy will be enforce-

ment, he said. Most likely, those who light up at the fairgrounds in violation of the ban will be asked to leave. “We’re not interested in punishment, we’re interested in keeping the air clean,” Schenk said The committee will also find at least one location outside the fairgrounds proper, in a non-public area, where fair workers and vendors will be able to smoke. Schenk said this is needed because many workers and vendors live at the fairgrounds in trailers and motor homes during the annual event. Board president Adam Day said a number of people have been coming to fair board meetings since he joined the board nearly four years ago, requesting that the board ban smoking at the facility. He credited those community members for helping to bring change to the fairgrounds policy. Day initially suggested banning smoking during the fair by 2014, but Watson said, “Will it really take two years to implement this?” Watson then made a motion to ban smoking by next year’s fair, which was supported by the full board. Board member Russ Penniman did not attend the meeting. A staff report on Tuesday’s board agenda said antismoking messages will be included in the 2012 fair program and displayed on the video screen in the paddock area of the fairgrounds. Hypnotist Mark Yuzuik, who performs a popular hypnotism show at the fair each year, will also offer three one-hour smoking cessation seminars. Those sessions will be held from 3-4 p.m. each Thursday in the Turf Club, and no reservations are necessary. Kelley, of the American Lung Association, said after the meeting that most of the major institutions in San Diego, such as Petco Park, Qualcomm Stadium, the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park have gone smoke-free, as have every beach and city park in San Diego County, except in the city of Santee. She said smoking also has not been banned at Sea World. She said she was not sure if the fair board would go along with a complete smoking ban, but was gratified by the unanimous vote. “It was great, it was inspiring,” she said.

Canyon Crest Academy’s LitMag Club to hold ‘First Annual Writers Conference’ •E vent is open to Canyon Crest and Torrey Pines students Canyon Crest Academy’s LitMag Club, publisher of the school’s literary magazine, recently announced the First Annual Canyon Crest Academy/Torrey Pines Writers Conference. At this unique free event, local published authors and writing professionals will provide workshops to help students bring their writing to the next level. It is open to students of CCA and Torrey Pines and will be held on Saturday, May 19, from 8:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Michael Gaughen, teacher advisor to the club, notes, “While we often talk of writers needing time and a place to write, how invaluable to have the advice of the professionals who do this for a living. To have access to these people and the wealth of their experience is such a tremendous opportunity for the emerging writer.” When CCA student Devyn Krevat attended the SDSU Writers Conference this January, she thought it would be a great idea to bring a smaller version to the high school. “I learned a lot about writing at the workshops, but even better was how inspiring it was to hear from successful authors.” Krevat asked her English teacher, Stacy Hardcastle, for help in coordinating the event. “So many students see creative writing as an outlet and this kind of workshop will provide inspiration and organization to help students pursue their literary talents,” says Hardcastle. The keynote speaker is Martha C. Lawrence, author of the popular psychic detective Elizabeth Chase mystery series that was nominated for the Edgar, Agatha, Anthony, Shamus, and Nero Wolfe awards. A former

Solana Santa Fe students ‘Read Together’ Solana Santa Fe implemented a peer reading program this school year called Read Together. Fourth, fifth and sixth grade students tutored third graders in reading twice a week after spending time learning the lesson plan and preparing to teach. “Not only were the older children good role models for the third graders, the one-on-one tutoring increased comprehension and fluency for all readers,” said Ali Geise, an instructional assistant at Solana Santa Fe who helped run the program. Christina Silver initiated Read Together four months ago while she worked at the elementary school as an instructional assistant.

Doctor publishes sports thriller involving use of DNA doping BY KATHY DAY Harvey Shapiro has found a new way to feed his workaholic personality – writing a book. The 71-year-old recently published “Morphed.” He calls it a “sports thriller,” revolving around the use of DNA doping in sport and the use of human performance enhancement technologies in daily living. He uses his own experiences – as a physician, a cyclist, a former medical correspondent for NBCSanDiego and a volunteer doping control officer for the 2002 Winter Olympics – to craft the fictional account that asks “How far are athletes or individuals willing to go to win, even to the point of altering their own DNA?” Eric Heiden, the Olympic gold medalist who is now an orthopedic surgeon, writes in the liner notes that “DNA manipulation — a likely next step in performance enhancement — amps up the health issues for all of us. It pits parents against their kids who emulate their idol athletes and tempts us with prospects of its fountain of youth effects. Shapiro opens the doors on the locker room’s inner

‘Morphed’ ■ By Harvey Shapiro, M.D. ■ Available in paperback or e-book at amazon.com, and for Nook, iPad, Sony Reader and Kobo. ■ Book signing scheduled for July 15 at Warwick’s in La Jolla sanctum where sports intermingle with big business and science.” Shapiro’s book goes to places that sound familiar from recent sports news – athletes using steroids, an anti-doping doctor, the Tour de France and a “muscle-altering DNA substance that will not only pass through

Quick Facts Name: Harvey Shapiro, 71, retired anesthesiologist, author of ‘Morphed’ Family: Son Raub, who produces commercials and videos. A brother and sister living on East Coast. Younger son Michael, a drummer, died 10 years ago. ‘Morphed’ is dedicated to him. Distinction: First physician in the country to induce coma in traumatic brain injury patients; Coastal Communities Foundation Award for Community Service in Health; San Diego Medical Society Award for medical journalism; Jules Bergman Award for Excellence in Medical Reporting from National Association of Physician Broadcasters. Interests: Reading, writing, politics, cycling, skiing, working out, and performing arts sprinkled with eclectic music interests, especially chamber music Reading: Always have a few books going and have joined the throng reading “Shades of Gray,” a “news junkie.” Favorite films: “Those that leave me thinking about its characters or social implications... guess that leaves out many Hollywood blockbusters and frat-house humor. Love Sundance and it documentaries.” Favorite getaway: Park City or any foreign country from my bike seat. Philosophy: A smile begets a smile.

the anti-doping system but can also reduce the effects of aging.” One of his characters – and there are many “real characters,” he says – is an aging cyclist who is breaking Lance Armstrong’s records. Shapiro, who timed the release of his self-published work to coincide with the Summer Olympics in London, says he came up with the concept for the story after volunteering as a doping control officer at the Olympics. He lives half of the year – summers and winters – in Park City, Utah, which is where he was when a nurse encouraged him to join the anti-doping effort. “I spent two years training (for the volunteer assignment), sneaking up on people and saying ‘Aha,’ it’s time for your test,” he said. As a physician, he ran a testing station where athletes had to report at the end of their events. “I started thinking, if somebody wanted to cheat, how would they do it,” he added. “They could try to corrupt me, but that wouldn’t work.” As the ideas ran through his head, he started researching substance abuse in elite sports. In 2004, Shapiro was the California Society of Anesthesiologists’ Forrest M. Leffingwell Memorial lecturer and delivered a talk on just that subject. In introducing him, the editor of the association’s bulletin called him “one of the most prominent patriarchs of neuroanesthesia.” He also noted that he had “ventured well outside its boundaries to lend his creative intellect to more distant and, often, surprisingly adventuresome areas.” In that lecture, Shaprio said, “I don’t believe that most sport fans are upset enough (about doping) to respond by turning off their TV sets or staying away from the professional stadiums and arenas. Until they do so, fans are simply fanning the fire and doping is here to stay.” That thought underlies the storyline of “Morphed.” “Almost every time, the technology developed to help patients makes it onto the field as quickly as it gets into the doctor’s office,” he

Harvey Shapiro said in a recent interview. “Along comes the opportunity to win and not get caught … some do it without regard to their personal health.” As a medical student at the University of Pennsylvania, Shapiro had studied the effects of anesthesia on brain metabolism and blood flow. While a resident, he was the first to utilize a medically-induced coma to control intracranial pressure during neurosurgery. Because he had done a neurosurgery residence at the University of Washington and worked as a fellow for two years at the National Institutes of Health Division of Neurological Diseases and Stroke, he had an understanding of both fields that gave him a different perspective on what was occurring in the injured brain. “With CT scans, we had the ability to measure pressure inside the head that we didn’t have four or five years before,” he said, adding that the new technology facilitates the ability to change the way neurosurgery is done. In 1976, he joined the faculty at UCSD, focusing his lab and clinical work on acute brain injury. He became anesthesiology department chair in 1986 and dean of clinical affairs before retiring in 1996. In 1997, his first book,“Managed Care Beware: 5 Steps You Need to Know to Survive HMO’s and Get the Care You Need,” was published by Dove Books.

Retirement hasn’t let him slow down. He skis as often as he can, still cycles regularly, traveling frequently on bike trips to faraway places – including ahead of the Tour de France where he actually witnessed what he believes was a team car providing a doping substance to a rider. Growing up in Philadelphia, he said, his “bicycle took me everywhere.” While he no longer rides competitively, the 71-year-old, who also participated in triathlons, learned from experience about the effects of high-altitude training. While in Park City, his red blood cell count rises, akin to what happens with blood doping. It takes about three weeks, he said, for the level to drop, which coincides with him moving back in the pack of riders he trains with. It’s the same as blooddoping or using EPO (erythropoietin which controls red blood cell production), he said, adding, “But I’m legal because I live there.” He says he knows too many stories about athletes who are “dumb, destitute and desperate” who have resorted to steroid use and ended up on the wrong side of their drug tests. He’s also aware of the impacts on non-athletes and teens who want to be bigger and stronger. “Adults can make decisions … It’s my last Olympics so if I take steroids for four years, it won’t affect my

life,” he said, but kids’ shouldn’t be making those calls. He says he’s hopeful his book might help educate the non-sports book reader who picks up his book. While it is fiction, it’s based on his observations and research. It uses sports to talk about our society, which Shapiro said “demands that these guys dope. No one would watch if there were no records broken and nobody wants to lose.” He’s talked to people who have read his book, which took five years to write, and given it good reviews, he said, but he gets a little frustrated about the process of getting it published. He did it on his own, with the help of friends and family and a few technical advisors like Theodore Friedmann of UCSD, an authority on gene therapy who in 2011 was named chair of the Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RAC) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). One of the challenges, he said, was getting a positive Kirkus review. While authors pay for the reviews, they aren’t always necessarily positive, he noted. “They’re tough. You can either use it or not.” He rolled the dice and Kirkus reviews called his book “a thrilling, nuanced drama that packs an informational and emotional punch.”

Local Planned Parenthood supporters named honorary chairs of anniversary event BY KELLEY CARLSON Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest just celebrated its anniversary — and received a very generous gift. Seven donors — six of them local residents — contributed a combined $350,000 for the organization’s annual fundraising dinner on May 3 at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, according to Keith Limberg, vice president of development. (About 1,500 people attended the event, which raised more than $1 million.) As a thank you, Planned Parenthood named the following people as honorary chairs of the event: • K. Andrew Achterkirchen of Del Mar, a former board member of PPPSW and current board member of Fronteras Unidas Pro Salud, a sister affiliate in Baja, Mexico. The retired electrical engineer volunteers daily in the pre-calculus class at the Preuss School in La Jolla and at the afterschool Barrio Logan College Institute. He has supported PPPSW for about 20 years. • La Jolla residents Rita and Richard Atkinson. Rita has a doctorate’s degree in psychology and is a former PPPSW board member; Richard is former president and regent of the UC system, and former chancellor of UC San Diego. • Former PPPSW board member and longtime supporter Joan Bernstein of La

K. Andrew Achterkirchen Jolla. She is also actively involved with the La Jolla Chamber Music Society. • Paula and Herb Engel of Rancho Santa Fe, who are longtime donors to PPPSW. Herb is a former board member of the organization. Currently, he is president of Marine Group Boat Works, a full-service boat and yacht repair facility that specializes in refits, repairs and new construction of boats up to 220 feet long. • Community leaders Joan and Irwin Jacobs of La Jolla. Irwin is the founder of Qualcomm, and the couple are longtime PPPSW supporters. • Rancho Santa Fe couple Gwendolyn and Jay Meyer. Gwendolyn is a director of Feeding America San Diego, which provides millions of pounds of food to children, seniors and adults locally each year. She is also a director of the

Aqualia Foundation and a trustee of the Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad. Gwendolyn also competes nationally and internationally in horse jumping competitions, and is a director of the U.S. Equestrian Team Foundation. • Christy Walton — a longtime donor to PPPSW, especially for cross-border educational activities — lives in Wyoming, but often visits San Diego. She is the widow of John T. Walton, one of the sons of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton. The group was feted during PPPSW’s 49th anniversary dinner, which featured a speech by Planned Parenthood Federation of America President Cecile Richards. Richards was recently named to the TIME magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world, for the second consecutive year. Other highlights of the program was the presentation of the Champion of Choice Award to Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., for her speech on the House floor defending Planned Parenthood’s funding in 2011; a performance of original monologues inspired by patient stories; and a $49,000 Challenge Match sponsored by the Strauss Family Foundation and the Flaster Family Foundation. Planned Parenthood’s Pacific Southwest branch has been in existence since 1963, and operates 19

Paula and Herb Engel health centers in San Diego and Riverside counties, with future plans to include Imperial County. It aided more than 300,000 patients in 2011, offering services such as cervical and breast health screenings; contraceptive care; and the prevention, testing and treatment of STDs. It also provides educational programs such as Teen Success, which helps support young mothers; offers information and care to migrant populations through its Promotores program; and administers the Gardasil vaccine — which helps protect against the human papillomavirus, or HPV — to young people in Baja California through its mobile health center, lowering the cases of genital warts and cervical cancer. “Planned Parenthood provides services ... that are extremely important to the health and well-being of in-

Irwin and Joan Jacobs dividuals,” said Achterkirchen, who was on the branch’s board from 2004 to 2009 and currently serves on the budget and finance and audit committees. “While Planned Parenthood gets reimbursed for many of the services it provides and the things it does, it some cases, it does not,” the first-time honoree added. “For example, we provide medical services at below cost for low-income individuals who don’t have health insurance and cannot

afford to pay the full cost of the services they receive. Much of the comprehensive sex education we provide is not reimbursed. Our community outreach efforts to make individuals aware of our services is not reimbursed, nor are our communications activities to inform the media about our positions on important public issues. The Anniversary Dinner not only provides an update for our supporters about our activities, but also is the primary fundraising event for the organization. This fundraising is crucial to allow us to continue to do the many important activities for which we are not reimbursed.” Another first-time honorary chair, Herb Engel, also strongly supports PPSW’s mission. He has been involved since the mid-1990s, commencing with the start of his two three-year terms on the board, and he is currently on the budget and finance committee. “I think it’s a strong, well-run organization,” he said. “I like the goals it has.” Herb — who regularly attends the Anniversary Dinner — added that he knows his donations are being well-used. “Paula and I were honored to be recognized for our continued support of such a fine organization,” Herb said.

The ClearChoice team of specialists provides 21st century solutions to people struggling with dentures or bad teeth.

WHY SUFFER WITH DENTURES? For centuries, removable false teeth, or dentures, have been used to replace missing teeth. But denture-wearers report that many undesirable side effects come along with this less-than-ideal solution: Dentures are uncomfortable to wear and often slip or click; they can cause bad breath, and require ongoing and inconvenient maintenance; they often result in a weak bite, a fake-looking smile DQG DQ RYHUO\ DFWLYH JDJJLQJ UHĂ&#x20AC; H[ Care and comfort aside, those with dentures also are prevented from eating many of the foods and participating in many of the activities they enjoy. With todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s science, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply no reason for anyone to struggle with dentures. In fact, many of the problems denture wearers struggle with can be solved in just one day* with the help of your ClearChoice team of dental implant professionals.

Because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re anchored into the jawbone, the fusion of the implant and bone provides stability, just as the natural teeth did. Implants perform and are cared for just like natural teeth! If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re missing some or all of your teeth, dental implants can stimulate the bone, protect against atrophy and help preserve your natural facial features.

Local resident’s life experiences provide mental ‘mini breaks’ in new book BY KELLEY CARLSON When author Patricia Van Gorder penned her new book, “Views from the Water’s Edge,” she was flowing with inspiration. The local resident, who had been writing devotionals for Stonecroft Ministries, wanted to leave a legacy for her children and grandchildren. She also had a desire to create mental “mini breaks” for people in the chaos of the day, influenced by the peace she found through God and the beauty of water. The 436-page “Views from the Water’s Edge” was released March 27, and contains 365 uplifting, short, daily devotions that relate to Scripture. Van Gorder reflects on lessons such as broken relationships, financial crises and patience while tying in her own life experiences. The author has much to draw from over the years. She was born in North Dakota — the third oldest of 10 children — and moved to Colorado at age 9. Van Gorder raised

belief that she could meet her goal. Early last year, Van Gorder completed the manuscript. “(Each devotional is) a snack instead of a fullcourse meal,” she said. “I’d say it’s food for thought.” Van Gorder submitted the manuscript to Tate Publishing, and immediately received a positive response, much to her delight. She selected a cover that featured stones that could be from any number of water sources, such as a riverbed, lake or mountain stream, noting that not everyone could relate to the ocean. For the final touches, Van Gorder traveled to Oklahoma to record an audio of “Views from the Water’s Edge,” which is a free download with the book’s purchase. The paperback publication is now available for $22.99 through www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com. In addition, Van Gorder will be selling the book during a brunch

hosted by the North Coast Women’s Connection from 10 a.m. to noon on June 12 at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, on Lomas Santa Fe and Highland drives in Solana Beach. Van Gorder, who is the featured speaker, will discuss the importance of friendships during a talk titled “The Best of Friends.” The cost is $20 for people who pay by May 29, or $22 at the door. RSVPs must be made by May 29. For more information about the event, call Cindy Luce at (760) 436-5713 or e-mail 2ConnectUs@sbcglobal.net. In regards to plans further down the line, Van Gorder — who served as the Stonecroft regional speaker trainer for six years — intends to continue giving speeches. Along with “The Best of Friends,” she presents another talk titled “From Milk to Solid Food: Nourishing Your Soul in a Single Serving,” based on I Corinthians 3:1-3. The focus of the hour-long talk is “to encourage Christian

women to seek a closer walk with God; to bring a new and exciting reality of His presence,” according to her Web site, patriciavangorder.tateauthor. com. “I outline spiritual disciplines that help women become more mature Christians, and give helpful suggestions for a spiritual diet of solid food.” It wraps up with structured interaction among guests. Furthermore, Van Gorder said she is considering writing a book of children’s stories, a compilation of tales she told her then-2-year-old granddaughter, who is now almost 20. When she is not speaking, writing or spending time by the water, Van Gorder finds joy in traveling; playing tennis; and spending time with her blended family, which includes five children and 12 grandchildren. For more information about Van Gorder’s book or her presentations, go to her Web site or e-mail plvangorder@roadrunner. com.

Expert to speak on the impact of health care reform at May 17 ‘Coffee and Conversation’ event in RSF Congressional advisor and health-care advocate Dr. Robert Hertzka will be the guest speaker at the next “Coffee and Conversation” event on Thursday, May 17, from 8-9 a.m. at the RSF Golf Club. Hertzka will lead a presentation on the new multi-trillion-dollar health care law and how it will affect your life. Most Americans will experience tax changes due to the new health care law, known as the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, which will unfold over the next few years. The rising costs of health care will impact your financial decision-making and portfolio, whether you are an individual or business owner. Many of the highly controversial provisions will not take effect until after 2014, with the real costs of the bill becoming evident in 2014, although billions of dollars in new taxes and fees will take effect sooner. Buried within the contents of the more than 2,000-page bill are trillions of dollars in new government spending, resulting in many new taxes for individuals, business owners, and companies. There is no charge to attend the event. Hertzka’s presentation is part of the “Coffee and Conversation” series sponsored by Financial Advisor Deana Carter. To attend, please RSVP to Deana Carter at (858) 756-1566 or DCarter@CarterFinancial.biz. The Carter Financial office is located in the Rancho Santa Fe village, at 6013 La Granada.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

May 10, 2012

Ideal4aCause seeks to provide ‘daily deals’ while helping others BY KATHY DAY Mordy Levine and his partners acknowledge their relatively new venture in the “daily deals” arena puts them smack in the middle of the next possible tech “bubble.” But the Rancho Santa Fe resident and brothers Jered and Sasha Cherry have confidence that their approach with Ideal4aCause is the right approach. Their concept is similar to Groupon and LivingSocial in that they offer discounted deals at small businesses, activities and experiences, said Levine, a self-described “serial entrepreneur.” And it’s different from others offering daily specials online, explained Sasha Cherry, because they team up only with local small businesses and give up to 20 percent of their revenue to charity. The Cherry brothers, who are professional rock climbers and enthusiastic nonprofit volunteers, run the day-to-day operations while Levine is the “back end” guy. When he’s not pitching in with Ideal4aCause, Levine leads the pharma-

ceutical company Jaleva that is developing a drug delivery system that may allow drugs to be delivered quickly through the skin or even the cheek. It has already licensed out two of its products. Sasha’s background is in print advertising; Jered works with Positive Adventures, an outdoor education and team-building business. Sons of a teacher and defense attorney who grew up in New Hampshire, they did their first effort for a cause when Sasha, now 35, was 8 and Jered, now 31, was 4. “We made ‘Save the Whale’ posters and sold them,” Sasha said. “We donated the money to Greenpeace.” They came up with the concept while all three, who met while rock climbing, were volunteering at a Down Syndrome Action event at Rady Children’s Hospital. Levine said they were talking about how big Groupon is and that it would be fun to do a deal company in San Diego. “They said ‘Make it support a nonprofit,’ which I bought into,” he added.

Sasha and Jered Cherry with Mordy Levine. They know some of the companies in daily deals are going out of business, including a London-based one that recently laid off 250 of its employees. But all three feel strongly that they’re on the right track. They get nonprofits to sign on for a “contest” to see who should be the featured charity that gets the proceeds from particular deals. “If they do well in the voting, they are featured on the site,” Jered said. The beneficiary changes regularly. On May 1, it

was the Women’s Museum of California that would get a donation for sales of Mother’s Day flowers. Others that have already been featured include ARTS – A Reason to Survive, Girls on the Run, Helen Woodward Animal Center, Difference Makers International, Jeans 4 Justice, Cancer Angels and the San Diego Oceans Foundation, among others. Eventually, Jered said, they hope to be writing $1,000 checks to the charities, although they’re not there yet. “A thousand dollars

do a specific product during limited hours,” he noted. They also allow their businesses to run on other sites since they believe they attract a different group of customers, which benefits the business. Jered emphasized that they come from the community level with a focus on sustainability, paying particular attention to whether the demographics are right for the business and the charity. Right now the business is pretty much the Cherrys with Levine’s oversight and experience. They have a couple of interns and a “street team” that helps them out at community events like the recent Earth Fair at Balboa Park. “At some point, we could sure use some more help,” Sasha said. In the meantime, they’ll apply what they call their “rock-climbing mentality to making the Ideal4aCause grow. “We know how to manage risk.” Learn more about the deals at www.ideal4acause. com Learn about Mordy Levine’s company at www. jaleva.com

goes a long way for some of these nonprofits,” he added. The charity shares their email list, which helps them spread the word about deals and about the company. Explaining that their market is the “conscious consumer,” who will opt for a purchase if there’s a benefit to someone beyond themselves, Jered said, “They make a better customer.” The goal is repeat business, added Levine, whose wife owns The Living Studio in Del Mar. “Cause people are more conscious, more affluent and they come back – the extreme opposite of the coupon clipper.” Sasha added that their approach also helps build “a membership with quality people vs. quantity.” It also gives them a way to reach out to the businesses they sign up. Sasha said the businesses – primarily those in the downtown and beach areas at this point — have to be willing to offer a steep discount.” In return, Levine said, they get an opportunity to upsell the customer. “We only ask them to

FACULTY continued from page 1 salaries ranks the highest,” Rossier said. “The percent spent on benefits for teachers is also at the bottom of the county for basic aid. This has occurred while the district has the second highest percent of reserves of any district in San Diego County.” Rossier said that their analysis shows that the district can get through any potential economic challenges, adequately compensate the teachers, and still keep sufficient reserves. In addition to increasing salary and benefits, Rossier said the teachers are also asking that the board policy be renewed to allow teachers’ children at Rowe. The policy was first enacted in 2006 and is renewed yearly. The teachers are grate-

ful for the policy and hope to increase the number of faculty children allowed from 10 to 15. “A principal from a North County school told me a few years ago, ‘There is no more powerful statement of support for teachers that a district can make than to let the teachers’ kids attend their schools’,” Rossier said. The teachers’ initial proposal is a jumping off point for negotiations. Teacher contract negotiations are expected to begin in mid-May. The teachers plan to have the negotiations completed by the end of this school year. The board will not renew the policy allowing the children of teachers to attend R. Roger Rowe School until contract negotiations are complete, so the timing of the contract negotiations is important, according to Rossier.

Leibowitz and his fellow medalists will be honored at May 12 gala celebration on Ellis Island hosted by the National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations (NECO). “As a child of immigrants, whose parents and grandparents walked more than 1,000 miles with barely the clothes on their backs for the opportunity to get on a ship and come to the United States, I can think of no greater recognition for the work we all do for children in need than the Ellis Island Medal of Honor,” Leibowitz said. “I am deeply grateful to accept this honor on behalf of all those brave and selfless individuals who have devoted their lives to serving vulnerable children throughout the world.” Established in 1986 by NECO, the Ellis Island Medal of Honor was designed to pay homage to the immigrant experi-

year’s recipients are read into the Congressional Record. Co-founded in 1998 by Leibowitz and his wife, Kay Isaacson-Leibowitz, the World of Children Award is the only global recognition and funding non-profit that recognizes individuals who are improving the lives of vulnerable

children worldwide. For 15 years, the World of Children Award – which has been hailed by the media as the “Nobel Prize for Child Advocates” – has used a rigorous vetting process to identify the world’s most effective child advocates and provide funding for their efforts to improve children’s lives. The organization’s exhaustive research and vetting of individuals spearheading health and humanitarian initiatives across the global spectrum has been hailed by leading philanthropic organizations. Since 1998, the World of Children Award has granted more than $4.8 million in cash grants and program support to 90 honorees who are the driving force behind organizations serving children in more than 100 countries.

RSF resident details Scripps Health’s history with new book BY KATHY DAY Who better to write a book about the history of Scripps Health as it has touched San Diego than a woman who says she “grew up” at Scripps? And what better title than “Good Company” to reflect the quality of the people who have helped put the organization on Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” list five times, said Chris Van Gorder, CEO of the health system that stretches from North County to South County. “Our history and legacy is very important,” he said last week. “We are the oldest healthcare organiEllen Browning zation in Scripps San Diego, founded by two very generous women — Mother Mary Michael Cummings and Ellen Browning Scripps. I didn’t want to see it lost.” And he also wanted a history book that is about people “because our strength is our people.” So he turned to Rancho Santa Fe resident Sarita Eastman, M.D., a former pediatrician whose mother Anita Figuerdo was San Diego’s first

female surgeon and whose father was a pediatrician. “I’ve occupied nearly every role,” she said, sitting in her home office with a shelf above her computer lined with neatly organized binders for each of the Scripps hospitals and books about Mother Mary Michael Cummings each of the communities where they are located. The second of nine children and the oldest girl, she was 2 when the family moved to a home on La Jolla’s Coast Walk between the original Scripps Hospital and Metabolic Clinic and the ocean. “As an adolescent I went in the operating room with my mom and did neonatal rounds with my dad,” she recalled. During summer vacations, she worked as a research assistant at Scripps Clinic. And after graduating from medical school at the University of California San Francisco, she returned to work at Scripps Hospital. When she married, it was to a member of the Scripps Health family — Brent Eastman, M.D., who is the organization’s chief medical officer and corporate senior vice president.

Juggling academics on tour with Cirque du Soleil

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY MARSHA SUTTON Attending school in a traveling circus is much the same as normal school. Yet at the same time it’s as different as night and day. At Cirque du Soleil, trailers adapted for school are transported from city to city across the continent and are occupied by students who utilize all the curriculum materials one expects to see in traditional educational facilities. Once inside, there is no mistaking the space for anything other than a classroom. There, the students are like other ordinary children – studiously learning math, reading, writing, history and foreign language in consistent, stable surroundings. The difference is that the outside keeps changing. Currently showing in San Diego at the Del Mar Fairgrounds is “Totem,” a visual wonder of spectacular proportions. The show travels with 60 trucks, 120 employees and performers, 60 more family members, and literally tons of production and supporting equipment – including the giant blue-and-yellow Grand Chapiteau tent. Totem tours with 21 children under the age of 18. Eleven attend the Cirque school, and 10 of them are 5 or younger. Three little ones will start school this fall and join the 11 older students, bringing the total enrollment up to 14. Because Cirque du Soleil is based in Montreal, Totem’s three teachers, all Canadian and fluent in both English and French, follow the Quebec curriculum and report in to a pedagogical director regularly. Standardized instructional materials are used, and grade-level assessments are given each year to measure achievement. Patricia Elliott teaches math and science, Julie Grenier teaches English, and Marie-France Roy teaches French, social studies, citizenship, history and economics. Elliott, who has been teaching for 10 years, nine with Cirque du Soleil, said she applied for the job for the opportunity to travel. “And professionally it’s very stimulating,” she said. “You can do projects and you have a lot of flexibility with the activities. It makes it very interesting for us and for the

Teacher Marie-France Roy outside the “Totem” classroom. Photos/Rocky Smolin kids.” Roy has been teaching for 11 years, the last five with Cirque du Soleil. “I’m the oldest one here,” said Grenier, who has been teaching for 20 years – at all grade levels, in both French and English, and internationally. She came upon her teaching career with Cirque du Soleil after seeing the show in Mexico and noticing a young performer. “I said, ‘Hmm, there must be a teacher around here somewhere.’” The biggest challenge, all three teachers agreed, is the widespread differences in ages and abilities. “We spend a lot of time working on lesson plans,” Roy said. “There’s less correcting but there’s more preparation,” Grenier said. “Sometimes they work on the same project but we have different expectations for each of them.” The children learn to work more independently than

Teacher Julie Grenier with young students. students in a regular school, Elliott said. All students have varied schedules, which can change daily. But the subjects are recognizable to any American student: English/language arts, math, science, art, history and French. In the lower school, there are four students, each in grades one through four. The three older students are ages 12, 14 and 17. These seven students come from Russia, Belarus and America. The three youngest students to start this fall are Mongolian, Russian and Italian-Spanish. In a separate school are four Chinese girls, ages 15 to 17, who perform in the show’s startling Unicycles and Bowls act. Perched atop tall unicycles, they balance and flip bowls on their heads. The girls travel with their own teacher but come to Grenier each day for one hour of English lessons. Once the children start school, families choose which language their children should learn – French or English. Most pick French, the teachers said, because the children learn English while on tour in the United States. Regardless of the immersion language, they all learn See CIRQUE, page B27

Fourteen chapters, each written by an expert in the field, are included in a 3-ring binder. In keeping with the mission, IBPF will provide the book free of charge. The Consumer Advisory Board for IBPF felt it was important for people to have an easily accessible “compendium” of information. The binder format allows users to add handouts from their mental health providers and update chapters without having to order a new book. Healthy Living with Bipolar Disorder is broken into three sections: 1. About Bipolar Disorder, including chapters on children and adolescents, suicide, substance abuse, medication treatment, stigma and pregnancy. 2. Healthy Living includes chapters on family life and relationships, nutrition, spirituality and faith, the workplace, college, social interactions and the caregiver 3. Resources, including Medication Charts (English & Spanish), Medication Side Effect Checklist, Mood Chart, Exercise Journal, Food Log, Doctor Contact Sheet, Questions to Ask Your Doctor, and U.S. and International Mental Health Resources. In addition to these information-rich chapters, the book has country-specific chapters written by consumers and professionals from countries around the world. There are currently eight such chapters with more being added weekly. The foundation’s mission is to eliminate Bipolar Disorder through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support services for all affected; and to erase associated stigma through public education. For additional information about IBPF and the book, contact: Ashley Reitzin, program manager, International Bipolar Foundation, 858-764-2496, www.internationalbipolarfoundation.org

De Anza Daughters model period fashions At De Anza Chapter’s recent 78th anniversary celebration held at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club, members and guests modeled period fashions from The Women’s Museum of San Diego. Ashley Gardener, director of the museum and former television news personality, brought clothing based on guest models’ heights and sizes. Gardener showed her great sense of humor and ease with impromptu public speaking as she narrated, filling in with historical details and putting the guest models at ease. The chapter enjoyed seeing about one-third of the attendees wearing the vintage outfits, including handbags, furs, hats and gloves. The Women’s Museum clothing gave the Daughters a glimpse into their grandmothers’ lives back to colonial times. The Women’s Suffrage Movement was illustrated in dress, including an original sign carried during the 1908 California Equal Suffrage Association march. Presently located at 2323 Broadway, Suite 107, San Diego, 92102, the museum plans to relocate to larger quarters in order to display more of its extensive collection. Its goal is to move to the Promenade at Liberty Station or Balboa Park. The museum sustains itself through grants, contributions from the public via memberships and bequeaths. Its mission is to educate and inspire present and future generations about the experiences and contributions of women by collecting, preserving and interpreting the evidence of that experience. De Anza members are from Cardiff, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Leucadia, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and other nearby areas. The chapter was founded in 1934 and has over 100 members. It meets in Rancho Santa Fe. For more information, call Bettybob Williams 858344-6233 or visit http://www.deanzadar.org.

efore a sellout, standing-room-only crowd, the Harlem Ambassadors brought their basketball game and show to San Diego on May 5 in an event sponsored by the Del Mar-Solana Beach Sunrise Rotary Club. The charity event was staged at Canyon Crest Academy to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito and the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation. They played the Rotary Ravens, an enthusiastic team assembled from this area to offer some competition to the visitors. The final score? The Harlem Ambassadors put more balls through the hoop than the locals, and also won over the crowd. They performed their usual slamdunks, ball-handling tricks and comedy routines, plus interacting with the crowd, especially the kids, to leave a long-lasting impression on the attendees. The Rotary Ravens, male and female team, also impressed the audience with their skills, considering the team only met for the first time prior to the game. In addition to San Diego City Council member Sherri Lightner’s “cameo” appearance and Solana Beach Mayor Joe Kellejian, the team included members from the Adult League at the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, teacher/ coaches from Canyon Crest Academy, plus a San Diego County Sheriff’s captain, a San Diego City police officer, a San Diego City firefighter, two CHP members, two Marines and a sailor from MCAS Miramar. The event was made possible by generous support from the following: Kilroy Realty Corp, (San Diego), Lifetime Financial Advisers, Inc. (Encinitas), Tri-iso, Inc. (Cardiff), Hotel Indigo (Del Mar), Clone Duplicating Center (Del Mar), Jerome’s Furniture (San Diego), Smart Self Storage (Solana Beach), Jersey Mike’s Subs (Solana Beach), Rubio’s Fresh Mexican Grill, DoubleTree By Hilton (Del Mar), Sherman Promotions (San Diego) and Lou Oberman (San Diego).

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Dr. He Said, She Said: Passion matures Dear Dr. He Said, Dr. She

Said: I am feeling like the passion in my marriage is gone. We used to have so much physical and emotional passion for each other, and now it’s all very “nice” but not intense the way it use to be. I’m starting to feel we are not meant to be together. Can you please let me know your thoughts? Susan, Del Mar Dr. She: Hi Susan: I think one of the biggest mistakes couples make is to believe that when the high passion/infatuation stage of the relationship fades into a more mature, steady version of the relationship that it means something is wrong. We’ve mentioned this idea throughout our articles but let’s take a deeper look into the phenomenon of infatuation versus healthy/mature love. Most of the intense chemistry during the first part of any relationship is about projection. Projection is how we see others and the world through the filter we’ve developed from years of personal experiences, stories and belief systems that are hard wired into our thinking and feeling selves. When we are first attracted to someone there is usually an element of familiarity about the person or a way they fit into our mindset or filter. When we don’t know somebody but like the “idea” of them, we tend to project (or see them as) someone who we think they are or who we need them to be. The infatuation or highly passionate stage of the relationship feels intense because of the fantasy aspect of who you think that person is, versus the real human being they

Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. (Dr. He) and M’Lissa Trent, Ph.D. (Dr. She) are, warts and all. Projection is la la land where our partner can do no wrong and, if they do, it is overlooked or denied. So when the high wears off and you start to understand who that person really is, the real work of a relationship begins. What also happens in the more mature phase of a relationship is the uncoiling of enmeshment. A lot of people get trapped in the “love addiction” feeling and the discomfort of moving on into unknown, more “grown up” territory is scary. The infatuation/passionate phase is filled with immediate gratification while the more mature phase is the long-term gratification of a mature love where both people are taking responsibility for their own happiness and learning how to balance their own needs while supporting (but not swallowing up) their partner. When the enmeshment phase diminishes and we begin to see our partner as a separate individual, we start to see how they are different from us. If you are one to be addicted to the feeling of enmeshment, then the sense of being separate or “different” will feel threatening, rather than enriching, to the relationship. When couples feel threatened by the differences between them, they start to argue. If couples don’t argue, or resolve differences well

then, again, the relationship feels threatened. Learning to be OK with differences and argue well is a good sign of a healthy relationship. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that the first phase of a relationship is a euphoric, fun and exciting part of life. It is! However, the unrealistic expectation that the passion and romance needs to be sustained at a high level or “something is wrong” is what sets couples up for disappointment and leads to...“maybe we shouldn’t be together.” What couples overlook is that now a possibility of an emotionally deeper and long sustaining partnership is possible...in this next phase. Bottom line: We get into trouble when we try to manage a long-term relationship through the immediate needs gratification filter and don’t upgrade to a long-term gratification filter. Dr. He: Dear Susan, As you can imagine, we hear this complaint very often in our practice working with couples. You seem to be in a defining moment of your marriage because you assume that a lack of intensity must mean something is missing

between the two of you. It is very natural in this after-thehoneymoon-is-over chapter to believe that whatever is wrong with the relationship probably has more to do with what is lacking in your spouse than with yourself. This can trick you into thinking that you must be with the wrong person, which can in turn push you toward that slippery slope of the 50 percent divorce rate that exists in this country. The reality, however, is that the change occurring within the marriage is that you are (as Dr. She points out) growing beyond your need to do the “dance of projection” — which really prevents you from getting what is in your best interest — and needing to be more authentic in how you relate to your husband. What this also does is it puts you and others in this same situation at risk for having an affair. When you think about it, everything that Dr. She wrote about regarding infatuation at the beginning of a relationship is exactly what also happens in an extramarital affair. While you did not ask our advice regarding this topic, Susan, I will just mention here the similarity between the beginning, “juicy” phase of a relationship and the fantasy, “juicy” allure of infidelity. An affair is another

example of projecting fantasy onto someone that you have little familiarity with, who is in effect a “blank screen” onto which it is easy to project all the “positive” things missing in your marriage because your spouse now holds all the “negative” things that turn you off. It is very rare that an affair can represent a genuine, balanced understanding of another person when the only shared reality is a limited, Disneyland experience of what mostly feels good. The mundane drone of life’s daily challenges is avoided by the high intensity of illicit infatuation. This actually is an opportunity for you to do some selfintrospection in order to identify whatever wants and needs you have that you haven’t had the courage to admit to yourself, much less say to your husband. Believe me, risking the vulnerability of talking about your deepest pain, your darkest fears, your brightest hopes, and your highest aspirations will stoke the passion fires once again in your marriage. But the difference is that it will be coming from the maturity you experience when you deal with this lack of fulfillment by changing yourself — rather than by trying to change your husband. Hang in there, Susan. Dig deep and figure out who you

May 10, 2012

really are and what you really need. Sit your husband down, look him in the eyes, and lovingly paint that picture for him. Then let him make a choice about whether or not that picture is something he can live with. Have him do the same thing back to you. You have nothing to lose by doing this. It also gives him the opportunity to step up and become the man he knows himself to be. If he jumps on board, your relationship will change for the better. If he can’t hang with you, then at least you put it out there and didn’t hold back. Best of luck.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Community Concerts of RSF Season finale a hit; Tickets for next season now on sale As the Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe’s season has drawn to a close, Dr. Jack Wheaton has again critiqued the final concert of the 2011-12 season, which was held on Friday, April 13. The quality of this season’s productions as noted by Dr. Wheaton in this and his previous critiques is a great reminder that the 2012-13 season will begin next October. More information on season tickets follows the critique of Christiane Noll’s concert.

BY DR. JACK WHEATON It was a cold and wintry-like afternoon...pounding rain, thunder, lightningstrong winds, etc., but Mother Nature cooperated for Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe’s last concert of the season by stopping the rain, quieting the wind and putting to bed the thunder and lightning. By show time, all the seats in the auditorium were full. My next concern was could this soprano, Christiane Noll, and her piano accompanist, Ross Patterson, keep the audience’s attention through two 45-minute sets. Again, I needn’t have worried. By the end of the concert (we all begged for an encore) the audience was on their feet! The opening number started with the pianist at the piano and a vocalist yet there were no visible signs of the woman behind the voice. What a clever intro. The audience was guessing and fully attentive from the beginning… then Ms. Noll stepped out from behind the curtain and socked it to us with one of the greatest show-openers ever written, “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” from the Broadway-Show “Gypsy.” Then quickly she slipped into one of a favorite operatic arias, “Musetta’s Love Song,” from Puccini’s “La Boheme.” It was like she had two voices — a great, show-voice that quickly morphed into a beautiful operatic soprano. The audience was reeling. We were being mesmerized by Ms. Noll with one great song after another from composers like Mozart (art song), Victor Herbert, and Rogers and Hammerstein. Some of the names of other great song-writers that she honored by singing their best-known hit songs included Rogers and Hart, George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, and Steven Sondheim.

As she jettisoned us along on her musical odyssey we had to catch up. So Ms. Noll launched into the beginning of a verbal biography of her life interspersed with significant songs from pivotal points in her career, such as her endearing career solo debut at the age of 8, “Whistle While You Work” from Walt Disney’s “Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs.” All of this was done in a relaxed, “I love what I’m doing” style... like a great bullfighter, she could look the bull in the eyes and smile. She and her accompanist were having great fun as was the audience as they edged closer to their feet with pure enthusiasm. Two of the favorites were “Send in the Clowns” by Stephen Sondheim and her final number “Ella’s Blues” as a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald. I could take you through the over 30 songs that she and her incredible accompanying artist, Mr. Patterson, performed, but one really needed to be part of this experience. This artist is the best I’ve heard doing as many things as she did in great style and panache. By the end of the evening we had discovered that Ms. Noll was a great operatic soprano, a Broadway show belter, a jazz and blues artist, a comedienne, a story-teller and she could even “scat-sing” up a storm (scatsinging is vocal improvisation)! A woman from the audience asked me afterward what I thought of the show. My answer… “two ears and a tail.” That’s what an inspired audience will award a great bullfighter after an incredible display of artistic excellence. She looked bewildered, but don’t worry, I explained it to her! I hope we see Christiane and her pianist, Ross Patterson again sometime. ***** The 2012-13 season opens in October 2012 with another four spectacular and diverse concerts. All concerts in the coming season are on Friday evening with the same format as in previous years. Tickets are on sale now for season tickets as well as individual concert tickets. Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe is a community service organization and a 501 (c) (3) non-profit.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Week in Sports BY GIDEON RUBIN Baseball: A week that started with Cathedral Catholic extending its season-best winning streak to 11 games ended with the Dons suffering consecutive losses for the first time on the year. The Dons defeated La Costa Canyon 5-4 in a Western League game on May 1 to extend a winning streak that they started back on April 3. But their offense sputtered in league losses to University by 1-0 and 3-1 margins on May 2 and May 4. Hutton Moyer had two hits including a home run and Brandon Nelson added two hits in the LCC game. The Dons lost the first University City game despite a great pitching effort from Brady Aiken, who struck out five and allowed one unearned run in a four-hitter. The Dons wasted another great pitching effort in the second University City game, with Michael Martin striking out nine and allowing no walks in a five-hitter. One of the runs charged to him was unearned. Moyer had two of the Dons’ four hits. The Dons fell to 6-2 in league and 21-5 overall for the season. ***** Santa Fe Christian continued its dominance of Coastal League South play as the Eagles piled on two more decisive victories.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Mortgage consultant Richard Faust returns ‘home’ to Wells Fargo BY KELLEY CARLSON Mortgage consultant Richard Faust has returned to the company that he calls home. He is once again a member of the Wells Fargo team, securing financing for clients who want to obtain a mortgage Richard Faust and shopping for the best rates to ensure the most affordable payments. Faust also negotiates rates and terms with lenders, and works with borrowers looking to buy new homes and refinance existing mortgages. His main focus is on higher-end primary residences, second homes and investment properties all across the country. In addition, he arranges loans in all 50 states, with much of the business conducted out of San Diego County. Faust has become very familiar with the area since moving to Rancho Santa Fe in 1995. Originally from Florida, he moved to Alabama in 1990, and began his postsecondary education at the University of Alabama. While attending college, Faust occasionally visited his parents at their home in Fairbanks Ranch. During his summer vacation in 1992, he met Jason Barry, whose family owns the Barry Estates real estate company in Rancho Santa Fe. The two became friends and kept in touch, even after Faust returned to school.

Faust graduated from the University of Alabama in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in hotel management and marketing. The following year, he relocated to the San Diego area and began working for his friend’s parents, selling high-end residential real estate. However, Faust decided to shift his focus after becoming acquainted with a manager from Northwest Corp. while at a gym. “I thought I would do well in the (mortgage consulting) business,” Faust said. In 1997, he began working for Norwest, which merged with Wells Fargo a year later. Faust said that from 2002 to 2007, he was consistently one of the top producers nationwide for Wells Fargo, working in an office in east Del Mar. However, in 2007, Faust went to Bank of America, where he was employed for about four years. This past February, he returned to Wells Fargo. “I have always considered Wells Fargo home,” Faust said. “I was talking to one of the top guys (there), and his exact words to me were: ‘Welcome home, Richie.’ I felt the same way.” Currently, Faust is in a temporary office, and he is planning to move into a new location in Del Mar within the next couple of months. The office team will include Faust, Bob Fleet, Kevin Serafini and three assistants. “We take great pride in providing the best service possible to clients,” Faust said. “We make it as efficient and convenient as possible (for them).” For more information about Faust and the services he offers, call (858) 922-3092 or e-mail richard.m.faust@wellsfargo.com.

Artist, Realtor team up to create zenlike setting in unique home Farrah Fawcett once lived in home, now for sale BY KELLEY CARLSON By a stroke of luck, Realtor Marla Zanelli discovered artist Kate McCavitt’s colorful paintings one day as she was shopping along Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach. Zanelli went inside Aja Rugs, where the Asian-influenced artwork was on display, and inquired about the painter. She was given a brochure, and although she didn’t buy anything on the spot, she kept McCavitt’s work in her thoughts. Months later, Zanelli was asked by a friend to clean and stage a house he was selling in Carlsbad. “It has a lot of wall space — it’s an excellent home to show art in,” she said. And Zanelli had the perfect artist in mind. Now, she and McCavitt are working together in harmony, creating a zenlike setting inside a residence that sits just across the street from the ocean, with calming views and gentle breezes. Located at 101 Cannon Road in Carlsbad, the four-bedroom, four-bath home contains 3,126 square feet of space, and is on the market for $1.95 million. Among its features is an elevator, a master bedroom with a meditation room, and a downstairs space that can be used as a movie, play or workout room. The residence — which was rented by Farrah Fawcett for a few years in the early 1990s — spans two lots that total more than 12,000 square feet. Twenty-two of McCavitt’s pieces currently grace the walls, and the home buyer has the option of purchasing the art. Among the titled works are “Papaya,”

which incorporates real seeds from the fruit; “Full Moon Lotus,” created with acidactivated rust on iron oxide paint, enabling the color to change over time; “Tic Tac TaoSeparateness-Togetherness,” containing nine moveable 10x10s with art on both sides, all within a 40-inch square wood box; “Winter Moon,” which highlights

cranes — birds believed to ferry the souls of the departed to the heavens, according to Asian myths; “Tattoo Suite,” consisting of four individual squares -each with a mythological creature — combined into one work; and “Entering the Great Kiva,” inspired by McCavitt’s trip to Chaco Canyon, N.M., where ancestral Pueblo people resided. Some of the other displayed paintings are created in the SuiteStickS format, custom canvasses that can be hung horizontal or vertical in which the width/ height ratio is approximately 1 to 4. McCavitt also has some pieces in the house featuring the enso, in which the brushed ink of a circle is created in one movement — an expression of one’s spirit in that moment. The Oceanside resident has been studying oriental philosophy since the 1960s, and learning the art of brush painting since 1988. Formerly the owner of a corporate project management company that handled enterprise voice and data installations, McCavitt gave it up several years ago to pursue her artistic passions on a full-time basis. While she is trained as a Sumie — or “Chinese

Brush” — artist, McCavitt is self-taught in other genres, merging her techniques into abstract mixed media. She tends to use bold, pure colors; strong contrasts; and heavy textural elements. “For texture, I engrave foils — mostly spherical shapes — and paint them with powdered metals mixed with gloss mediums, or layer them with color over the metallic and collage them on,” she states on her Web site, www.bodyofwork. us/. “I also will add gold mica flakes and miniscule glass or metal beads to create a field of contrast.” McCavitt said she did not create any new pieces for the house on Cannon Road, but drew from inventory that was in between being assigned to a new gallery. “My first thought (when Zanelli contacted me) was that my husband and I both have a saying: My art belongs on any walls other than our own,” McCavitt said in an interview. “If we have an excess inventory of art, it’s better where we have other eyeballs on it.” Also, Zanelli — who is with Prudential California Realty in Del Mar — had an ideal clientele base, McCavitt said. The artist had dis-

played her work in homes once before, as she had pieces exhibited in a showcase in St. George, Utah, about four years ago. For Zanelli, who has bought and sold real estate for more than 20 years, it was her first time coordinating such a project with an artist. She had had previous experience remodeling homes, which was noted by the Cannon Road property’s listing agent, Zanelli’s friend Michael Citrin. “He knew I would do a good job in taking on the project,” Zanelli said. It took about two months to modernize the home, which was built in 1991, she said. In the meantime, Zanelli said she is working on a new listing in Solana Beach and would love to have McCavitt’s work displayed. Along with the Carlsbad house, McCavitt’s art can be seen at Aja Rugs, 143 S. Cedros Ave. in Solana Beach, and at Art & Frames, 936 Orange Ave. in Coronado. Open houses to show the house and art are planned from 1 to 6 p.m. on May 20. To make appointments at other times, call Zanelli at (858) 9221341.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

SCRIPPS continued from page B1 He is a general, vascular and trauma surgeon who is renowned for his work in trauma and emergency surgical care. Eastman, who took 20 years writing a book published in 2009 about her mother, spent the last 20 months researching and writing this book that just arrived at her house on May 1 – four days before its unveiling on May 5 at the Scripps Legacy Celebration. Hers is a paperback, but guests at the event were to receive leather-bound copies. Eastman said Van Gorder gave her the liberty to organize the book any way she wanted to. As it came together, it took the form of vignettes and historical photos reflecting not just the history of the organization but the history of San Diego, as well. Her work started by seeking out records from Mercy Hospital, founded in 1890 as St. Joseph’s Dispensary. Led by Mother Mary Michael Cummings, the hospital was operated by the Sisters of Mercy and acquired by Scripps Health in 1995.

A group shot of the nurses in the 1930s Scripps Hospital and Scripps Metabolic Clinic were started by Ellen Browning Scripps in 1924. “I think it’s fascinating that both women set foot in San Diego in 1890, within five months of each other and set the stage for the what the organization is today,” Eastman said. Among her discoveries at Mercy was a ledger from the hospital’s earliest days that she found in a closed room near the medical archives. On the big facing pages, it listed the patient’s name, date of admission, physician’s name, diagnosis, treatment and religion –

including Catholic and non-Catholic (Protestant Christians), Baptized, Jews, Greek Orthodox and even “pagan, heathen and infidel.” After a careful analysis she concluded that the information helped Mother Mary Michael show that they took care of all people, Eastman said. The book touches on such events as the explosion of the USS Bennington in San Diego Harbor in 1905 – that killed 60 and injured 47 — and the role the Sister of Mercy played in caring for the wounded. The city’s reaction and support during the tragedy

was one reason the Navy decided to build a base here, Van Gorder said. Eastman learned things she didn’t know before – that Ada Gillispie, who founded La Jolla’s Gillispie School, was a nurse who “dogged Ellen Browning Scripps to start Scripps Hospital.” The book doesn’t shy away from the internal struggles Scripps Health faced in the 1990s when there were five different chief executive officers in five years or when they were working to merge the cultures of Scripps Hospital with the Mercy Hospital facilities in 1995, Eastman said. She turned often to her husband to get the “back story.” Having been chief medical officer since 1996, he “knew all the nuances and players in the middle of the maelstrom,” she said. “Chris, to his credit, wanted the full and true story. This is not an ad for Scripps Health.” It even deals with the struggles between Scripps Memorial and Scripps Clinic. “They were divorced in the ‘40s and remarried three times,” she added. She describes the book as a “cross section of views of Scripps from all stake-

A patient is transported by stretcher in the 1960s. holders – physicians, nurses, administrators, board members, volunteers and some patients.” She talked to many people around during the mergers and tough times, as well as those who recall the simpler days when Scripps was on Prospect Street in La Jolla. She talked to the founders of Bay General Hospital in Chula Vista, which joined Scripps Memorial in 1986, and to people involved with Scripps Encinitas, which was San Dieguito Hospital until 1978. And the role of The Scripps Research Institute is a piece of the puzzle, too, since it was part of Scripps Health

Eastman said she feels fortunate to have been writing the book “at a time of great hope and enthusiasm” for Scripps Health. She praised Van Gorder for his idea to publish the book. “It was his wish that if we all knew and shared our history, then we would feel like one organization,” she said.

CIRQUE continued from page B3 both languages. If French is chosen as the primary language, they will learn English as their second language. And vice versa. Because performers in Totem come from 20 different countries with their own languages, Roy said most children will become fluent in three languages – French and English from their travels and schooling, and their native tongue from their parents. A different lifestyle Computers play an important role in the educational environment at the Totem school, just as in any other school. Elliott said her students have done podcasts and are currently doing an animation project using technology. Grenier said computers are also used to share classes on-line with other touring classrooms. One advantage the teachers identified is the satisfaction of watching the students grow and develop. “We know the students so well so it’s easy to see them improving and getting better,” Roy said. “It’s so nice to see their evolution.” One student, 17-yearold Nikita Moiseev, who performs in Totem’s Russian Bars acrobatic act, has been traveling with Cirque since the day he was born, with Elliott as his teacher since he was 8. There are the inevitable classroom management issues. But with three or four in a class rather than 30, it’s more manageable, they said. Students have their own challenges. Friends are what the teachers say the children miss most – “especially the teenagers because there are so few of them,” Roy said. “They’re too old to hang out with the young ones and not old enough to hang out with the adults on site. It gets lonely.” “There are people around to be with,” Elliott said. “It’s just figuring out who to hang out with and who does what and who likes to do the same activities as you do. It’s adjusting to that reality and looking outside the box a little more for your friends and activities.” One highlight for the students are the field trips they take at each city. In San

Diego, it is the San Diego Zoo. In Philadelphia, the students visited the Liberty Bell. “We usually choose something educational,” Roy said. School days are Tuesdays through Saturdays and generally start at 11 a.m. Students are in school about 25 hours per week. School is year-round but is not regular because school is not in session when Cirque is on the road. Of the 11 students in the Totem school, five – Nikita and the four girls from China – perform in the show. Born in New York City to Russian parents touring with the Cirque du Soleil show “Alegria,” Nikita was trained in gymnastics at a young age by his father, an acrobatic coach and Totem artist. Nikita, who speaks perfect English and is also fluent in Russian, joined the cast of Totem in 2009 and has been on tour, educated in Cirque schools, all his life save one year when he attended first grade in Las Vegas. Because one of his favorite subjects is computer science, Nikita spends free time with the computer technicians on tour. But he, like other children in the school, suffers the hardship of limited contact with other children his age. “There’s not much social interaction,” he said. “It’s not like being in a classroom with 30 people,” said Francis Jalbert, Totem’s publicist. “Even though it’s not normal and the lifestyle is very different, we try to make them feel that it’s a normal life and to make it as normal as possible.” Jalbert said Cirque touring shows are like a small village where all the kids go to the same school and everyone lives together. No matter the culture or language, the children, he said, belong to everyone. When the tour heads to Boston after its run in San Diego ends May 27, the outdoor landscape will once again change for the children in this most unique of schools.
