Benefit concert honors late SMMUSD principal
EXPO LINE TOUR:
A sanctuary for sports fans near DTLA
Money will support school construction in Ethiopia BY JEFFREY I. GOODMAN Daily Press Staff Writer
Before Irma Lyons lost her long battle with cancer in 2009, she poured her heart into her job as principal of Will Rogers Learning Community. She wanted desperately for each child to succeed, and she maintained her connections with students and families even as she moved from the classroom into the administrative ranks. “Irma was a visionary,” said Liane Curtis, whose daughter, Jaq Mackenzie, attended the Santa Monica elementary school. “She was all about leaving no child behind. ... She really thought outside the box.”
JAQ MACKENZIE
Lyons will be posthumously honored at a benefit concert Sept. 11 at Genghis Cohen in Los Angeles, where Mackenzie and other musicians will raise money to support education in Ethiopia. The event came together with the leadership of Mary Anna SEE CONCERT PAGE 6

UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica Nurse Goes Above and Beyond
BY JEFFREY I. GOODMAN Daily Press Staff Writer
Editor’s note: With the opening of the Expo Line’s extension to Santa Monica, locals have a new way to explore neighboring areas. The Daily Press will publish a weekly travelogue about what to eat, see and do near each of the stations along the Expo Line, continuing this week at the LATTC/Ortho Institute stop.
In the past you could’ve called Gary Cypres a hoarder, his massive private assortment of sports memorabilia sitting dormant in a warehouse for the sake of posterity and his own enjoyment. He has a game-worn Don Drysdale home jersey from 1965, the Hall of Fame pitcher’s first year in with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He’s got plenty of hardware, including a World Series trophy from 1981. He even owns a handful of dirt and a ball thrown out upon the 1913 opening of Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, where the baseball club used to play. Now that the longtime collector has made SEE SPORTS PAGE 7

Taking a stand in a two-party system Editor:
The right to vote means little unless we have the right to know who we can vote for. Most people don’t know that the Commission on Presidential Debates is a corporation controlled by the Democratic and Republican parties; they have a vested interest in stifling democracy by locking out independent candidates from the debates. In fact, Green Party candidate Jill Stein was arrested trying to enter the room where the debates were held in 2012 — while she was a candidate on the ballot. Stein is the only candidate who refuses to take money from lobbyists, PACs and special interests. Her Green New Deal would get the US to 100-percent renewal energy by 2030 while providing 22 million new jobs at home in America. She would make higher education a right so that we have a stronger work force. She is an exceptional candidate and much of America has never heard of her. The Democratic and Republican candidates would like to keep it that way. Citizens are currently voting against Donald Trump or against Hillary Clinton without any real conviction for the candidate they are ultimately voting for. No one is voting for anybody, only against somebody. The people are shielded from independent parties, from true democracy. They have no idea there is a better candidate on the ballot. Sign the petition at http://www.jill2016.com/openthedebatespetition to allow Jill Stein into the debates, to give us the true democracy America advertises. Don’t let “democracy” become some slogan or ambiguous word like “chocolatey” is used to sell food products that don’t actually have any chocolate in them. I share a lot of people’s fears about “throwing their vote away” by voting for a lesserknown but better candidate. Fortunately, there is a strategy to resolve this fear: the “I’ll vote for Jill if you will” pledge that’s gaining momentum. (Visit http://jdrachel.com/2016/07/21/the-ill-vote-for-jill-if-you-will-pledge-campaign/). There’s a massive pool of voters who refuse to be disempowered. As Pulitzer Prizewinning author Alice Walker once said, “The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” We have the power to save our environment, our education and our political system. You have the power, now be the change.

PRESIDENTIAL?: Trump’s trip to Mexico showcased his vanity and lack of principles. IN GODFATHER III, AGING MICHAEL
Corleone (Al Pacino) complains, “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!” I mention it because that’s how I feel about Donald Trump. Each week I’m determined not to write about him. But then Trump says something so offensive that I’m “pulled back in,” dismayed that he might win in November. (Biting my tongue.) Examples of people Trump has insulted include: a Gold Star family, the parents of the late Capt. Khan; Muslims with “the ban;” Mexicans he called “rapists and criminals; African-Americans by being the Birther-in-Chief; and women he’s referred to as, “Bimbos, pigs and dogs.” As if he’s anyone to talk, Trump frequently belittles women’s appearance. About model Heidi Klum, he said, “She’s not a 10 anymore;” about Carly Fiorina “Look at that face;” and about Hillary, “She doesn’t even look presidential.” An extreme narcissist, Trump actually thinks he’s handsome. (Making me question his eyesight.) But Trump’s doctor says he’d be the “healthiest president ever.” The truth is, KFC/Taco Bowl chowing Trump would actually be the heaviest president since Taft. Also I imagine insulted, are small business owners Trump has stiffed over the years. We can add to that list the “USA Freedom Kids,” dancers who opened for Trump at a January rally. The little girls’ recent law suit is just one of the 3500+ Trump has been in over the last ten years. I would suspect many veterans are also insulted by Trump. First off, he was only against the Iraq War after it was failing. In fact, in 2002 he said, “I just wish we got it right the first time,” meaning he was more of a hawk than Dick Cheney. (Google “Dick Cheney 1994.”) Secondly, draft-dodger, pro-torture Trump never apologized to former POW John McCain for saying, “He’s no war hero.” As it happens, when Trump was asked when was the last time he apologized to anyone for anything, he couldn’t remember. Trump certainly hasn’t apologized for his latest immigration flip-flop. Going from “mass deportation” to possible “legal status for undocumented workers,” Trump changes his policies more often than his underwear. Speaking of immigration, Trump’s modeling agency allegedly coached models, many underage, how to avoid getting
caught. And, over a month ago, Trump promised Melania would hold a press conference about the possibility she worked here illegally. Don’t hold your breath. While he was fined by the IRS, Trump also hasn’t apologized for his $25k donation to the campaign of Florida Attorney General, Pam Bondi. He did so four days after her office announced it was considering prosecuting Trump University for fraud. Surprise, surprise, the case was dropped. Trump brags, “When I call they kiss my ass.” (Does that sound presidential?) Finally, the subject du jour, Trump’s meeting weeks ago with Enrique Peña Nieto, the President of Mexico. During Trump’s speech, he said he considered Nieto “a friend.” But a few hours later he was in a Twitter war with him. Can you say “erratic??” (Alex Salmond, Scotland’s former First Minister, warns Trump is an emotionally stunted “manchild,” so unstable his becoming president “should give us all the heebie-jeebies”.) Amazingly that it went almost unreported but, as Trump delivered his Mexico speech, video revealed he forgot to take a bobby pin out of his hair. (As they say online, OMG!) And I think I know how it happened. Years ago, I saw Trump on CSPAN, hawking a book or maybe it was Trump Steaks. To my bewilderment, Trump revealed he uses bobby pins to hold his locks in place before using hair spray. (Obviously all to hide his bald spots.) Forget taxes, Trump’s not even transparent about his hair. Trump noted his daily “coif job”takes 90 minutes. After his shower, he lets his hair fall forward. “The secret is air drying, which gives it extra body.” (Good grief!) Then Trump shapes his mane into what looks, to me, like a cotton candy helmet. As “Family Guy’s” Seth MacFarlane joked, “Trump is 70 and has hair like Dennis the Menace.” Yet Trump insists he’s a “tough guy.” Retiring NYPD Police Commissioner, Bill Bratton, disagrees. “I’ll bet Trump has never taken a punch to the face.” (If needed, I’d volunteer.) There’s only 58 days left until the election. If Trump wins, as my late mother used to say, “Nothing’s the end of the world.”(Actually, this might.) One thing, if Trump does become Commander in Chief, I don’t think the taxpayers should foot the bill for his bobby pins.

did I end up feeling angry and upset? I put an expectation on the response to my email. I expected that because I was being truthful and kind, the other person would appreciate my way of being and respond in the same way. That’s probably a natural, automatic expectation to have, but it’s still an expectation. It’s an assumption that another human being will behave in a specific way, and we all know what happens when we assume. It would be all fine and good if when life failed to meet our expectations, we just adjusted and moved on. But it’s never like that, is it? An expectation is very rarely free of emotional attachment. So when the person doesn’t respond like we expect (and if you really sit with it, you start to see how unlikely it is that a creature as nuanced as a human being can ever respond in the exact way we expect), we get upset. And notice the weird conclusions our minds come to— Why even bother trying to be honest and open if people are going to be jerks regardless? I collapsed how I felt about my actions into another person’s reactions, and then this other person’s response somehow became responsible for how I felt about my actions and how I would act in the future. But when you take away the expectation and uncoil the action from the reaction, you see the truth: how somebody responds to your lovely email doesn’t have to have any power over you (ever heard the adage, What other people think about you is none of your business?) Keeping your space clear of expectations gives you the room to deal with other people without taking their responses so personally. When I drop the expectation of a specific response to my email, I instantly get rid of all the negative feelings that flooded in when my expectation wasn’t met, and I walk away feeling as empowered as I did when I made the choice to be truthful and kind, free to continue to be self-expressed in the future. So remember: what to expect when you’re expecting is a lot of disappointment and hurt feelings. And to the 4% of you who really are, you know, expecting... Cheers.
YOUR CHOICE

you probably aren’t either— statistically only 4% of you are pregnant at any given time, did you know? But chances are that just like I do, you carry around a lot of expectations. When you consider the concept of “expectation,” you probably don’t think of anything sinister: you expect your alarm to go off, you expect your teenage daughter to be home by 5, you expect your paycheck to appear on your account statement by the fifth of the month. We all have expectations — who cares? I cares. Because I’m discovering that my never-ending expectations are making me very unhappy. I started to notice it last week, when I sent what I thought was a very genuine email in which I kindly declined to participate in a project that was proposed to me. It was a hard email to write. I’ve always struggled with saying no— sometimes it’s easier to just say yes and suffer the consequences. But this time, I finally chose to be honest and forthright, completely certain that the other party would appreciate the authenticity, and that all parties would walk away satisfied. And then I received a response email. All parties were not satisfied. The other party couldn’t care less about my “authenticity,” and made it very clear that my no was received with great anger and offense. And that made me really upset (it’s my party, I can cry if I want to.) I mean, WTF— I finally empower myself to say no, and I do it with all the kindness in the world, and this is the response I get?? This is exactly what I’m talking about—saying no is not worth the ruined relationships! And why even bother trying to be honest and open if people are going to be jerks regardless?? And that, my friends, is how expectations ruin our lives. We all have expectations—the alarm clock, the teenage daughter... I’m sure if you took a moment to make a quick mental list of your expectations, it wouldn’t be difficult. The challenge is recognizing the sneaky ones. In the case with my email, for example, I had no idea I was at the mercy of my expectations. I started out feeling empowered and self-expressed. I was all good when I made the choice to say no. I was solid with the wording of the email. So how

NURSE FROM PAGE 1
at the age of 22 and worked at Santa Monica Community Hospital from 1975 to 1995 and continued to stay within the facility when UCLA acquired Santa Monica Community Hospital in 1995 she has yet to leave. She retires from the medical field next month on October 6, 2016. Terri said, “As a pediatric nurse I work with children and adolescents who have to go through immunizations, screenings and even cancer. I see children coming in day to day, diagnosed with Leukemia, osteoporosis, or some other form of cancer. It can be difficult, almost unbearable for some of these children. My job is to make them feel as relaxed and safe as possible.” This specific job can be very trying and emotionally draining, as many medical workers find it troublesome to cope with the illness or loss of a young patient. K. David Bailey, interim chief nursing officer for the UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica said, “UCLA nurses in Santa Monica have a passion for being the best in the world, and they

share that passion with the entire UCLA Health organization.” The reason Bercier went into pediatrics in the first place was the experience she had with a young two-year-old girl on her first day of nursing school, she saw the fear and terror in this child’s eyes and comforted her. Bercier stayed by her bed when she could and helped with any procedures that took place that day. This was the moment that Bercier knew she was in the right place and she was meant for this career. When it comes to the patients, they love Bercier for her insane dance moves, her smile and how comforting she makes all the patients feel. She doesn’t mind doing whatever it is that will put a smile on their face. Bercier exhibits passion and love for people and felt she could do more. On her own time she decided to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), a healthcare professional specializing in the clinical management of breastfeeding and lactation. She said, “I felt as a mother I have a duty to educate women everywhere on how to breastfeed, and the best way to feed their child whether it be through formula or natural.” Bercier has been in the medical field for many years, a
lifetime for some and agrees that atmosphere in the hospital has changed over the 40 years she has been there. Starting her career doctors would not take much advice from nurses, or ask for an opinion but today everyone in the hospital works together. Every worker has the same goal, to help patients get healthy and out on the streets and back home to live a ‘normal’ lifestyle. Doctors and nurses are constantly exchanging information, and some doctors want more participation and involvement from the nurses, making them feel empowered. Being a nurse can be very rewarding and fulfilling, but Bercier goes above and beyond by volunteering her time to go on medical missions. Traveling with a group of medical personal to a foreign country for the purpose of providing people with medical care to communities with little access to healthcare and or medicine. Bercier wants to not only help people in Santa Monica but also people all over the world. She volunteers with an organization called Project Helping Hands, and has been to Africa, Vietnam, Philippines, and Haiti three times. She has completed six medical missions and has a goal of completing at least ten missions in her lifetime. Her career at UCLA comes to an end next month and expresses the mixed emotions of sadness and fulfillment. She leaves behind wonderful nurses with the advice of being an advocate for these patients. Tears came to her face as she said,“I have worked with many fabulous, smart, and gracious pediatricians and doctors here at UCLA for so long that it will be hard to say good-bye. This place not only gave me a second home but a second family.” She will miss the people, the families and most importantly the children who showed strength, fear, and hope. When retirement kicks in, she does not plan on calling herself a retired nurse, after 40 years of taking care of individuals she feels as if being a nurse is part of her identity. She plans on taking time to herself and traveling, and spending more time with her family. UCLA is thankful for her longterm commitment and dedication to the Santa Monica Medical Center as well as the patients. marina@smdp.com
CONCERT FROM PAGE 1
Noveck, who served as an assistant principal under Lyons. Noveck now holds an executive role with Imagine1Day, a nonprofit organization that aims to improve student outcomes in the eastern African country. Noveck is also a godmother to Lyons’ daughter, Taína, and the two are working through Imagine1Day to build a primary school in Filangur in honor of Lyons. When Mackenzie heard about the plans to celebrate her former principal, she felt compelled to participate. And while the 17-year-old indie pop singer-songwriter didn’t have much extra cash to donate, she felt she could contribute her performing talent to what she believes is a noble cause. “I wanted to raise awareness for the value of education, not just in my community, but globally,” said Mackenzie, a former “American Idol” contestant. “I believe that every child needs an education. And if I can communicate via my music to bring that message out, I’m down seven days a week, 24 hours a day. I want to spread the love.” Mackenzie, who left the Santa Monica-Malibu school district for an independent study track as she pursues a career in music, plays guitar and piano and also writes and produces her own songs. She has released a few EPs this year. She and Taína, who met at Will Rogers years ago, collaborated on a video to support the initiative, with the former providing the music and the latter adding choreography. The evening at Genghis Cohen will feature Mackenzie as well as Drew Chadwick and The Tearaways. Chadwick, 23, a member of pop group Emblem3 who now lives in Los Angeles, is focusing on his solo career as a singer-songwriter. The Tearaways, meanwhile, blend the styles of British pop and California surf music. For Curtis, bringing the concert to fruition was a powerful way to remember Lyons and her impact on others. “We hope that we can help make a difference and show people that there are many ways of giving,” she said. “Tithing one’s time and talent is a great way of raising money. We loved Irma and we love Mary Anna and Taína. Jaq and I feel nothing less than privileged and honored to be able to help.” General admission costs $20 online or $25 at the door.

those and thousands of other items available for public viewing, he is perhaps best referred to as a guardian of Los Angeles sports history. “Through 30 years of collecting,” Cypres says, “I have assembled the most comprehensive collection of Dodger memorabilia known to existence in moveable hands.” Cypres owns and curates the recently opened Sports Museum of Los Angeles, which is located at 1900 S. Main St., near Washington Boulevard. The museum stands south of the Interstate 10 freeway and about a half-mile northeast of the Expo Line stop at LATTC/Ortho Institute. It’s an area that some would consider the no-man’s-land between the many destinations near the University of Southern California and the numerous attractions of Downtown Los Angeles. But there’s more here than one might think. This old neighborhood is home to one campus of Mount Saint Mary’s University, which is accented by the historic Doheny Mansion. Members of the public can make reservations for tours of oil baron Edward Doheny’s former residence, which was part of a gated community of estates in the early 20th century. Also in the vicinity are Los Angeles Trade Technical College and the Orthopaedic Institute for Children, for which the LATTC/Ortho transit station is named. When it comes to food, remember that you’re in an area teeming with students. Jacks N Joe (2498 S Figueroa St.) serves pancakes, coffee and other breakfast items from the morning until early afternoon, while Central Kitchen (325-A W. Adams Blvd.) at the Lorenzo student housing complex highlights its selection of salads, sandwiches and pizzas with live acoustic music on Wednesday evenings.
For something a little more adventurous, head northwest from the light-rail stop to 23rd Street Cafe (936 W. 23rd St.), which fuses Mexican, Indian and American fare on options like chicken tikka masala burritos and samosa sandwiches. But arguably the most intriguing destination near the station is the sports museum, which is open to the public on Saturdays. A New York native, Cypres has devoted his time (and lots of money) to building up his Dodgers collection in the 32,000-squarefoot building. But he has plenty of other keepsakes, including the record-breaking ball from Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak, and he recently unveiled a Rams section to coincide with the pro football team’s move from St. Louis to Los Angeles. The museum features uniforms, gameused equipment, scale models, photos and trading cards, among other mementos. “This is the high temple of sports,” L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti has said. “We have many wonderful museums in Los Angeles and the Sports Museum of Los Angeles occupies a place among the best. It is a truly remarkable, one-of-a-kind facility that should be experienced by all Angelenos and anyone visiting our great city.” Tickets cost $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and students with ID and $9 for children ages 5-12. The museum is free for children under 5, active military members and veterans. For more information, visit sportsmuseumla.com, call 888-540-8223 or email contact@sportsmuseumla.com. The Expo Line now has 19 stations covering 15.2 miles between Downtown Los Angeles and Santa Monica. A regular oneway fare is $1.75 and includes two hours of free transfers for riders using a TAP card. A daily pass good for unlimited rides on Metro is $7 and monthly passes are $100.

■ There’s a famous scene in the movie “Pulp Fiction” where John Travolta’s character jabs a longneedled syringe filled with adrenaline into the chest and heart on an unconscious, drug-overdosed Uma Thurman. She immediately is revived. Would it work? ■ No, for two fundamental reasons: First, if you stick a needle in your heart, you will likely bleed to death from the hole just created. Second, there’s a pretty good chance of jabbing a hole in a lung too, which would cause it to deflate. There is no treatment in modern medicine that requires a doctor to stick a needle directly into the heart.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 9).
By PETER GALLAGHER
Strange Brew
By JOHN DEERING
You’ve learned not to fret over or force the action, and life unfolds beautifully before you. An inheritance will make your way easier. You’ll be challenged by a great teacher in December. You’ll give a top performance and start earning more for your work at the start of 2017. March brings new friends and goals. Cancer and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 11, 13, 3 and 40.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
When the storm nears, the natural response is to take shelter and huddle in fear there until the tumult passes. Why, then, do you feel compelled to chase the dark cloud and poke at it with a stick until it tells you what it’s made of?
You’ll be involved in a mixup. You’ll discover over the course of the interaction that though there is something similar in the two things being confused, they are not the same at all.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Part of you would do anything to make the person you love happy. The other part of you realizes that nothing good comes of spoiling your loved ones. They’ll only take you for granted and become rotten. Limits can be love, too.
You can be considerate and appropriate and still quietly make an unpopular choice. You’re so well-liked that it will be possible to fly under the radar if that’s what you’d prefer.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Which came first, the dream or the memory? They are all swirling together now, motivating you to march forward. Just know that you do not have to avenge the wrongs of yesterday to create a new tomorrow.
You’ll teeter between personal relationships and professional interests. Like a dancer, you’ll balance beautifully as long as you keep your core very strong and your posture pulled up toward the sky.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Getting there is said to be half the fun, but when the vehicle is a thing of beauty, it might be well over the three-quarter mark. Whether it’s better shoes or a better car, you won’t regret the upgrade.
You may find yourself craving more knowledge of, access to and products from the object of your focus. You’re fast becoming a fan, driven to get your hands on more of the thing that thrills you so.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Like a pilot taking to the air, you will review each point in your checklist to prepare yourself for takeoff. This is something you know to do every single time. Leave nothing to memory or to chance.
The more you know, the more you want to know. This is how you tell that your interest is worthy of you! Once you start asking around, new circles open to you. You were meant for this.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You spoke your heart. Your heart changed, and you spoke it again. Each time, you get braver and clearer. Communication is something you can’t get worse at. Communicate often and you’ll communicate better.
You’re getting attention. Publicity will create a greater demand for your product. Be smart. Hold out. The lack of immediate access will drive the price up so you can ultimately sell high.

Jupiter Justice Conundrum The passage of Jupiter into Libra, the sign of social justice, inspires consistent and fair-minded treatment of all. And yet, because we each have a unique chemical and emotional make-up, we each inspire a unique reaction. The bottom line is, if someone is to be your good friend, you have to like who you are when you are with this person.
