Powered by Active Network software, the registration system

allows users to browse Fun & Leisure classes online, add them to their shopping cart and pay with a credit card. Walk-in students can continue to register in person by cash or check.

Students can preview the registration site as of March 17 and add classes to their “Wish List.” Classes begin April 14.

The People Close to You By Clay Robinson Sometimes in life we are presented with an opportunity to do something different such as get a very good job or gain a new position that can elevate you from your previous position. When this moment occurs it is extremely important to know those people around you who can have an influence on you or impact you indirectly. New opportunities can be very rewarding for us, but the problem is never good things happening. The true issues are the bad vibes, comments or efforts by others that can help you or cause you to fail. Sometimes those closest to you can and will do or say things that may damage your success. Probably your first wall of challenge is your family. Yes, I said it! Look at your mate, what is that relationship like? If that person is not 100 percent supportive of you and there were problems going on prior to your chance to improve your life’s position, will your rise in life make your mate jealous of you? Exactly what do you think he or she is capable of ? What kind of demands will cause additional emotional stress? Don’t limit your thinking to only your family. Friends are very much capable of giving poor

advice or suggesting things that may not be in your best interest. Now, look at co-workers. If you have been in the work environment for some time and you now have more authority, will someone request something from you that goes against policy? Over the past year I have watched someone who has been dealing with these issues. She was given an opportunity to acquire a profitable business from someone who was introduced to her by a mutual party. Her only requirement was to keep the business going by learning everything she could from the owners over a one year period and put forth ever effort to make sure the business continued to grow. Within the first month of the transition her son burglarized the business and the original business owners where out of their share of the business profits - $6,000. When she confronted her son, he went on a profanity-laced tirade and told her “I hope you fail”. After the incident she revealed to the business owners the poor relationships and parental history she had with all of her children. Needless to say the business owners were forgiving and supportive and allowed her to repay the debt little by little. A few more months into the

transition, with the burglary behind her, she has to contact the business owners once again to inform them of a domestic violence incident that had taken place between her and her boyfriend. This was important because this is someone she asked to bring in as a business partner. He had assaulted her pretty badly and the police where involved, but to what extend I don’t know. During this time she confessed to the business owners that this was not the first domestic violence incident she had experienced with her boyfriend. There had

www.bocaratontribune.com

been several throughout the few years they had been dating. She continues to date that same boyfriend and still wants to take him on as a business partner. In addition to those persons in her life she also keeps friends near and dear who give her poor advice and support her every move to self-destruct. How many times have someone’s negativity impacted your life? Do you keep those who continuously sabotage you close by? If you chose to do so, in the end, you only have yourself to blame.

INTEGRETY MOMENTS By Rick Boxx

Going Beyond What The Law Requires When you think about the rules and regulations that affect you in the workplace, whether they are broad-based laws that apply to everyone or statutes that were designed specifically for your industry or profession, how do you deal with them? Do you comply only to the minimum extent required, choosing to abide strictly to the “letter of the law,” or would you consider the sometimes broader “spirit of the law” – the underlying and sometimes more demanding intent behind it? For years I have consulted with business and professional leaders, helping them to grasp and understand biblical principles that apply to the everyday marketplace. When I began doing this, it became evident that to avoid the danger of not practicing what I

was teaching, I had to do an honest “self-appraisal.” This included examining my life for any past issues that I ignored or had not properly resolved. To be honest, doing this can be humbling and uncomfortable, but I felt it was necessary and important for my integrity as a consultant. I became convicted about a small, unpaid corporate debt from a previous business I had owned. Although the financial obligation was corporate, and legally I had no personal responsibility, God made it clear that He wanted all of my business dealings to be beyond reproach. As a result, I tracked down the business that was still owed money by my former company and sent them a check for the proper amount. The owners were more than surprised – they were

amazed. They called not only to thank me but also to tell me that since the debt had been written off and removed from their financial records, they donated the payment to a local church. Without question, I could have overlooked the unpaid debt. It was a legally constructed corporate entity – a business that no longer existed – that technically owed the money. Since my personal finances were not involved in any way, legally I had no responsibility. That was what the letter of the lawwould have said. However, as a follower of Jesus Christ, committed to living and working with integrity, I could not use that excuse. The spirit of the law, I knew, would have said differently. How could I speak with and advise leaders in the workplace about honesty and integrity if I

were not willing to hold myself to the same standards? In the Bible’s New Testament, Ephesians 5:3 teaches, “But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.” God’s standards – as He reveals in the Scriptures – often exceed the law, but if we are to be effective and credible as His ambassadors, it is essential for us to live accordingly. My purpose is not to put anyone under a guilt trip. However, if God brings to your mind something you have done that should be corrected – or something you need to do – I urge you to follow through on that as soon as possible. Even if it means going beyond what the law requires. You will not regret it.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Keep Your Phobias From Stealing Your Peace! It is wise to be cautious wherever we are. It is equally imperative to be aware of all the evil that abounds in society. It is further necessary to take every precaution against dangers which run rampant everywhere on earth! But that should never reach the point of paranoia! Every human must aim at living cautiously in the world, even if conditions were totally safe and desirable. Nevertheless, the reality experienced by which all humans, is that we occupy an evil space under the sun, anywhere all over the globe. Terrorism is not limited to the areas where it originates; crime of manifold varieties threatens individuals and groups

everywhere; natural and other disasters occur with increasing frequency in most regions of earth! In some ways it’s not easy to lead a tranquil life on account of all these realities. One can only awake every morning hoping for the best, and doing what is necessary to ensure good things to come, albeit much more is left outside one’s control. What complicates matters for some people is that they unnecessarily augment their misery by the phobias they entertain. On account of so much identity theft, often caused by a proliferation of internet users and new varieties of social media,

some people rob themselves of the benefits which those modern conveniences offer! Certain others are hesitant of answering their own phones, fearing that their messages may be heard by others. If they use a computer, they don’t permit the use of the web camera since that would bring undesirable eyes into the privacy of their own home or office, while the curtains at their domiciles are to remain shut all day so that the whole world won’t be looking in! While legitimate caution needs to be observed in all we do, much of the above and more can and should be avoided; it is paranoia at its purest, and it simply diminishes

one’s sense of personal peace, while robbing such persons from the vaster benefits which come from modern technologies, and a life of genuine liberty! As long as we occupy the globe, evil shall also exist, persist, and never desist, due to the human proclivity to all kinds of evil. Yet, notwithstanding all that, one can enjoy new devices, utilize them to the best of one’s ability with every measure of reasonable caution and for legitimate ends only, thus contributing to one’s personal growth and bringing benefits to others!

Boca Raton Woman Makes History as 1st Marine Sergeant Major

By Thomas Brennan & Jason Schwartz A new chapter is being written in the U.S. Marine Corps history as a Boca Raton native becomes the first woman to take over as senior advisor for the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit. Sgt. Maj. Lanette Wright relieved Sgt. Maj. Octaviano Gallegos Jr. as senior advisor for the 24 Marine Expeditionary Unit on March 14 in Camp Lejeune, N.C. The 45-year-old said she wants Marines, both men and women, to embrace the changing face of the Marine Corps and the broadening spectrum of billets women will fill in the future. Selected for her new billet by an array of sergeants major, Wright feels as though her vast knowledge of both MEU and Marine Air Ground Task Force operations make her wellsuited for the role. “I understand this is historic, but this is about being a Marine leader,” she said. “I’m not new to Marines. I’ve been around them for some time ... This boils down to just being a Marine. I’m just honored to have the position.” While a new milestone for female Marines has been etched into the history books because of Wright’s assignment, she said she feels as though she isn’t responsible for opening doors for her fellow Marines. Rather, she feels as though the Marine Corps gave her an opportunity to succeed by leading Marines. Leading Marines, she said, is a calling and one that she loves to continue answering. The opportunity to be a MEU sergeant major, she said, will allow her to expand her leadership and become a better Marine. “I am humbled and privileged to take over this position,” said Wright, who lives in Sneads Ferry, N.C. “I don’t want to make this about a woman’s issue. ...It’s about taking opportunities and serving the Marine Corps at a higher level.” The position of being the sergeant major of the 24th MEU could have

gone to any of the applicants, she said. “The thing about sergeant major leadership across the board is that we all train the same and we all educate ourselves the same,” said Wright, who previously served as the senior enlisted advisor at the Command Inspector General office, 2nd Marine Logistics Group. As one of the female Marines serving under Wright, Sgt. Casey Bone, 22, of Vilonia, Ark., said that whether Wright realizes it or not, she is an inspiration to female Marines who one day hope to reach both her level of experience and her stature within the Corps. “It’s an honor to be with this unit right now,” Bone said. “Not only is it a big deal to have a female sergeant major, but this is my first time working with a female sergeant major. ... It’s always a great thing to see things continuing to get better (for female Marines).” Because of Wright’s service, accomplishments that Bone thought weren’t possible now seem more attainable, she said. Through Wright’s service, she has shown Bone that it is important to always strive for things and never doubt yourself. You can get as far as you want, she said. Her personal decorations include two Meritorious Service Medals, three Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medals, and two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals. For the commanding officer of the 24 MEU, Col. Scott Benedict, it was a bittersweet day, he said. On one hand, he said farewell to a sergeant major he served two years with and who inspired, mentored and molded countless Marines. On the other hand, he welcomes Wright, who he expects great things from, he said. Wright, Benedict said, brings knowledge of MEUs and incredible leadership skills. He added that the Marine Corps demands a lot of its sergeants major but he knows that Wright will step up to the challenge and exceed his expectations. “You don’t get to become a sergeant major without a lot of experience and skills,” Benedict said. “It really is the epitome of a career and having Sgt. Maj. Wright come on board — I’m looking forward to having another two years of outstanding leadership.”

Each student participated in three of the science workshops and one team challenge (egg drop or balloon powered car). “The egg drop competition was really fun because we got to use a real egg and cover it with cotton, straws, and popsicle sticks,” said 5th grader Gia Russel. “We had to cover the egg enough so it did not crack when it was dropped from a ladder.” The hands-on workshops were facilitated by a host of people including 31 students from West Boca Raton High School Science National

Honor Society, teachers and staff from Sandpiper Shores Elementary School, the education coordinator from Solid Waste Authority and parent volunteers. Many of these students were also members of the West Boca Raton High School Science Olympiad team, a handson science competition. Event coordinator Rebecca Zybach said the competition aims to provide students with a variety of activities so they can experience how much fun science can be and yet learn the underlying scientific concepts as well. “Students learn about the states and changes of matter as they make their own ice cream in a bag, or witness the super freezing effects of liquid nitrogen,” said Zybach, a 5th grade science teacher. “They learn about plant and animal life cycles as they experiment with mealworms, human body systems, and the major parts of cells by creating a cell from different kinds of candy. By building electric circuits and making recycled paper, they can better understand the concepts of energy and conservation. It was a great morning of Science for our students.”

Sea Turtle Lays Eggs on Boca Beach A 600-pound leatherback turtle did not let a packed beach stop her from laying eggs. Beach goers rushed to find their cameras Monday after the sea creature slowly moved out of the water to give a rare delivery. Witnesses recall the turtle coming nearly 30 yards out of the water before she dug up a hole, laid the eggs and covered it with sand.

90 minutes later, she was back in the water. Florida wildlife experts called the daylight delivery a once in a lifetime opportunity. The leatherback sea turtle is listed as endangered. The turtles often wait until nighttime to lay their eggs. Typically, sea turtle nesting season runs from March through the end of October.

Municipal News The Boca Raton Tribune

One Dead, One In Serious Condition after Stabbing at “Jimmy the Greek Taverna” Boca Raton restaurant owner, Dimitrious Karaloukas, was stabbed to death on Thursday, March 13 after he posted an employee’s picture on the Internet, according to a probable cause affidavit from the Palm Beach County Sheriff ’s office. The incident took place at Jimmy the Greek Taverna, located in the 8200 block of Glades Road, at around 8 p.m. last night. Tilus Lebrum, 42, is charged with first degree murder. According to the probable cause affidavit Leburn said he killed Karaloukas, 61, “because he took my photograph on March 2 and posted it on the Internet.” Another employee of the restaurant was also severely stabbed and is hospitalized in critical condition at Delray Medical Center. According to the probable cause affidavit, deputies say that they received a call that a man dressed in

a black apron, holding a large knife, fled the restaurant after the stabbing. Deputies caught up with Lebrun nearby. Investigators say that Lebrun told them through an interpreter that Karaloukas had taken a picture of him and posted it on the internet, and according to the deputies, Lebrun was upset about the photograph, “They need to learn how to respect people; I have three kids in Haiti. I know they will suffer but they will survive.” Lebrun allegedly attacked Karaloukas “three time on the left side of his torso and once in the back.” Karaloukas died a short time later. Lebrun is being held in the Palm Beach County Jail without bond on first degree murder and attempted murder charges.

Boca man Accused of Molesting 2 Girls, Declared a Predator

By Jason Schwartz A Boca Raton financial adviser who used his foreign-born wife’s fear of deportation to get away with molesting at least two young girls — including a 4-year-old - has been declared a Sexual Predator, the Boca Raton Tribune has learned. Mark David Hawkins, 52, was charged last September with multiple counts of sexual abuse. As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors dropped the “sex abuse” charge but had Hawkins plead guilty to “battery” and accept the designation as “Sexual Predator.” He spent one year in the County Jail and 10 months of probation with an ankle monitor. The Florida Department of Children and Family Services investigated Hawkins for sexual assault on an 8-year-old girl in 2009. His wife, a 27-year-old Filipina he met online and brought to the U.S.

www.bocaratontribune.com

to marry in 2007, saw the abuse happen, but went back and forth between confirming and denying it, records show. She eventually told investigators that Hawkins, a vice president of investment with Wells Fargo, made a 4-year-old girl perform a sex act on him. He had “disgusting” photos and videos of men sexually abusing children on his computer, according to official records. And, she said, the 2009 alleged sexual abuse actually did happen — something he later discussed during a controlled call with investigators. Hawkins, who formerly served as president of the Boca Raton Pilots Association, met his wife on a website American men use to find Filipinas. In 2007, he proposed to her and brought her to the U.S. on a “fiance visa,” the report said. Two months later, he married her. Records show it was his fourth marriage and her first. A week after reporting the allegations against her husband, records show, Hawkins’ wife filed for divorce. The case is still open. Palm Beach County Sheriff ’s deputies say that they received information that Hawkins had a blog on his computer about molesting young girls. Investigators say that Hawkins had children stay at his home who they allege were molested by him. Deputies say that one of the victims was four-years-old at the time of the alleged abuse.

Punk Musical Rocks Fort Lauderdale

By Skip Sheffield The title “American Idiot” indicates this will probably not be a typical Broadway musical. Punk rock trio Green Day released a concept album called “American Idiot” in 2004. The stage musical version, which won two Tony awards in 2010, makes its Fort Lauderdale debut Tuesday, March 25 for an exclusive run through April 6. Boca Life & Arts

The songs and lyrics of “American Idiot” are by principal Green Day song writer Billy Joe Armstrong. The book of the musical is by Armstong and director Michael Mayer. Orchestrations and musical arrangements are by Pulitzer Prizewinner Tom Kitt (“Next to Normal”). Musical director is by Evan Jay Newman, who also conducts the onstage band and plays keyboards. “I even get to play accordion, which is pretty cool,” said Newman from a tour stop in Toronto. “We have been to the U.K., Asia and now Canada. There are worse things to do than tour the world.” Newman signed on to the second national tour in July of 2012 and has been touring ever since. “Last year I got the chance to meet Billy Joe and his wife Adrian,” Newman exclaims. “He invited us to a

Green Day concert in England and we got invited backstage. `American Idiot’ is a rock opera. It’s pretty hard-edged and very keyed into the punk rock tradition. The transition to a theater audience is accomplished through Tom Kitt’s gorgeous backup vocals and the piano-string combinations. `American Idiot’ is definitely drawn from the teen dilemma in a post 9-11 America. It’s a very critical piece that says just open your eyes and do something.” Tickets are $34.50-$79.50 at the Broward Center. Call 954-462-0222 or go to www.browardcenter.org. “Chess” at Slow Burn March 21- April 5 Closer to home we have the musical “Chess,” opening Friday, March 21 for Slow Burn Theatre at the Performing Arts Auditorium of West Boca Raton High School. “Chess” features music by ABBA

front men Benny Ulvaeus and Benny Anderson with lyrics by the prolific Andrew Lloyd Webber collaborator, Tim Rice. “Chess” opened in the West End of London in 1986 and ran for three years. A Broadway version opened in 1988 but ran just two months. The play has been revived successfully in regional theater companies all over the world. The story centers of two chess grandmasters, one American and one Soviet, who are also fighting over a woman who manages one and falls in love with the other. “Chess” runs through April 5. Performances are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $40 adults, $35 senior citizens and $25 students. Call 866-811-4111 or 954-323-7884 for groups.

Jersey Mikes Holds “Better Living” at Living “Half-Way-There” Party as part of Room Theaters Their Annual Month of Giving

“Better Living Through Chemistry” is a rather racy offering for FAU’s Living Room Theaters. It will be interesting to see how this modern sex farce goes over with an older audience. Actually “Better Living” is a bit more subversive than just a sex farce. If you were to take it seriously you might think the best thing to spice up a stale marriage is a wild fling powered with drugs and alcohol followed by a plot to murder an annoying mate. But you can’t take this movie, written and directed by Geoff Moore and David Posamentier, too seriously because it is played as a bawdy comedy with a wink and a nod. Sam Rockwell is Douglas Varney, a meek and mild pharmacist in the small town of Woodbury in Anywhere, USA (but suspiciously like Southern California). Doug works for his father-in-law Walter Bishop (Ken Howard). Walter is a loutish, domineering blowhard who thinks he knows everything. His daughter Kara (Michelle Monaghan) also has a domineering streak, which has kept wimpy Doug in a submissive state. Doug and Kara’s 12-year-old son Ethan (Harrison Holzer) is out of control; insolent and uncommunicative at home and disruptive in middle school. When Doug’s delivery man Noah (Ben Schwartz) fails to deliver a prescription on time, Doug decided to deliver it himself.

March 21, through March 27, 2014

Elizabeth Roberts (Olivia Wilde) answers the door clad in a slip with a drink in one hand and cigarette in the other. The bill is $180 but Elizabeth has only $20, and her rich husband is out of town. It begins with a lingering kiss on the lips. Mrs. Roberts is one seductive babe and Doug is vulnerable. This is a sex farce, not a morality play. Elizabeth is fond of mindaltering, sex-enhancing drugs, and Doug has the ingredients at the ready. As Doug becomes more reckless, he takes up smoking and paradoxically decides to challenge his fitness-freak wife to a bicycle race. When by chance Doug meets Elizabeth’s husband Jack (Ray Liotta) it dawns on him maybe Jack isn’t the unreasonable ogre Elizabeth painted him. When DEA Agent Andrew Carp (Norbert Leo Butz) pays a visit to the pharmacy, Doug’s situation becomes uncomfortably serious. Sam Rockwell is a versatile actor who can play both milquetoast and wild man in the same role, which serves him well here. Olivia Wilde has the right combination of sex appeal and illicit menace, while Michelle Monaghan’s good girl learns a satisfying life lesson. Stick around for the end and enjoy a famous person cameo that reassures it is all in good fun.

Patrons of Jersey Mike’s showed their support for the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation in honor of National Multiple Sclerosis Education and Awareness Month at their “half-way-there” party as March is their annual month of giving. Last year Jersey Mike’s raised $1.7 million for over 86 local charities. Jersey Mike’s donates 15% of sales in all locations at their half-way-there. Jersey Mike’s is strongly rooted in giving back to the community and looks forward to their annual “Day of Giving” on March 26th in which 100% of all sales will be donated to Multiple Sclerosis Foundation.

DIVORCE FLORIDA STYLE

FAITH

By Mike Gora

By Robert J. Tamasy

The Cost of Investing and Not Investing Two company executives were discussing the considerable cost of training and developing people within their organization. The chief financial officer asked the CEO, “What happens if we invest in people and they leave?” The CEO looked directly at the CFO, paused and then replied, “What happens if we don’t invest in people – and they stay?” A thought-provoking question, right? In most companies, regardless of size, some people are like dead wood – handling responsibilities, striving to meet deadlines and receiving paychecks, but not growing or becoming stellar contributors to the organization’s mission and goals. There might be other factors involved, but often we simply have failed to invest in them We see advertisements and commercials about financial investments – how to increase one’s net worth or savings for the future, especially for those approaching retirement age. However, there is probably no greater investment than to share one’s time, energy and experience with other people, regardless of whether results feel like “success.” It is far better to invest in people and lose some that move on to better opportunities than not to invest and become burdened with people operating well below their potential and capabilities. It can be argued the true mark of a leader is not what occurs while he is in control, but what happens after he leaves. Does the work continue and grow, or does it stagnate or die? A dedicated leader investing in and

developing people that work for his or her organization will leave an enduring legacy, whether those individuals remain with the company or leave for key leadership roles at other places. By contrast, poor leaders leave unstable, even crumbling enterprises when they are removed from the picture, much like a house of cards. Their legacy, often because of selfishness, pride and an unwillingness to invest in others, is failure and futility. During His time on earth, Jesus Christ invested in a handful of ragtag disciples, none of whom would have been voted “most likely to succeed.” Yet when He departed from the earth, He entrusted them with His mission, one that continues to be embraced by countless millions today. Jesus gave His followers simple instructions: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations … teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19). And the apostle Paul, the beneficiary of a long-term investment in his own life by a faithful man named Barnabas, told young Timothy, “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others” (2 Timothy 2:2). Maybe someone invested in you. Whether we lead large corporations, have our own businesses, are managers or even employees in a small department, we each have a unique, significant sphere of influence. Who are you investing in? And if you’re not investing in them, who is?

A Perfect Pair This column is not about divorce, to the contrary. One of my favorite photographs captures two synchronized divers. I call my photo “A Perfect Pair.” Tom and Naomi Shirley, of Broward County, pulled off a similar feat this month when, after 43 years of marriage they passed away, nearly simultaneously, by virtue of heart attacks while he was in the hospital, and she rushing there to see her husband one more time. He was 83 and she 75. My mother and mother-inlaw, 96 years old and 95 will read or see the Shirley’s storey and probably comment on the “youth” of the couple, point of view being everything. My wife’s reaction will be, “Perfect,” and I agree. To leave this earth, as we must, simultaneously has saved the other the angst of grief for the other, magnified by all that has to be done at death. The Shirley’s death ensemble will save their son Troy a decade or so probably watching the failing of one parent or the other physically and/

or mentally. While neither the State nor citizens usually choose the time, place and manner of their deaths in retrospect it is clear that our elders often fantasize a particular exit, surrounded by loving family and painless passing with full cognitive awareness to boot. In the movie Logan’s run the planet upon which Logan lives is running out of space, water, and food causing the “State” to terminate its citizens at age forty for the sake of its society. Your physician knows that the care of the elderly/sick is a cause of great physical pain to our loved ones and great economic strain on the individuals, their heirs and society alike. Certainly we are not at the time to re-invent Logan’s Run but, perhaps, we ought to revisit allowing more choices for the elderly than to just fall apart with pain and cost to their families and society in general. Hat’s off to Tom and Naomi Shirley.

Financial Suicide

As a matrimonial attorney I cannot envision suggesting to a hard working, high earning, and professional husband that the way to defeat the wife in the divorce game was to surreptitiously spend all of your money so there would be none left to divide with the wife. That type of process will have a number of bad results. It will clearly create legal fees to the wife, and her family who will often come to the wife’s aid, virtually spending the wife’s inheritance. While the husband must believe that he can regain his financial position quickly and the wife cannot that is like betting on you in marathon. It might work out, but maybe not. Florida statutory and appellate law has ways to stop the nonsense. A review by the wife’s lawyer and forensic accountant, if she can afford that luxury, will investigate the finances of the husband over time and come up with

the husband’s plan. Proof of the husband’s intent will usually be apparent as his spending habits will have reduced his liquidity through bizarre purchases, money spend on his new lady friend(s). Cash will be leaking directly to the husband with no rational purpose other than stuffing the greenbacks into virtual pillow cases all over the neighborhood and further. This type of activity is often masked by the husband’s accusations of the wife’s infidelity, while he has been a long term hound dog. These types, however, seem to want to have their cake and eat it too and often; after accusing the wife of infidelity he talks her back into bed which, technically, defeats any claim he has made against her for adultery. This syndrome is more popular than it should be and not likely to succeed, but the cost that will result to both parties financially and emotionally will not be worth it.

Lynn Lacrosse Loses to Lenoir-Rhyne 23-4

FAU Softball Drops Series Finale Against UAB The Florida Atlantic University softball team dropped its weekend series to UAB, losing 4-2 on Sunday. UAB took an early lead, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first. FAU (19-14, 3-3 C-USA) answered in the top of the fourth with a Jordan Stovall double to right center that scored Melissa Martinez and Carnesha Thompson to tie the game 2-2. The Owls were able to hold UAB scoreless until the bottom of the

sixth when Megan McGrath hit a two-run homerun to left center to give the Blazers a 4-2 lead. The Owls couldn’t make a comeback, going three up three down in the top of the seventh. Jordan Stovall finished the weekend off strong, going 4-for-7 in the final two games of the series. Amanda Wilson gave up four hits, had four walks and a strikeout, as her record fell to 5-3 on the year.

FAU Baseball Mounts Comeback To Win Series Versus LA Tech

The Florida Atlantic University baseball team completed a late-game comeback in dramatic fashion on Sunday at the FAU Baseball Stadium to beat Louisiana Tech 3-2 to win the series. The Owls (14-7, 3-3 C-USA) fell behind early as the Bulldogs (7-12, 2-4 C-USA) scored two runs in the second on two hits and an FAU error. A stalemate raged on from that point until the seventh inning. With two outs, Mitch Morales, making just his third start of the season, doubled to right center on the first pitch. Freshman CJ Chatham then hit a rope up the middle that was narrowly missed by the Bulldog pitcher Richie Navari to drive in Morales, cutting the lead to 2-1. In the eighth, Tyler Rocklein hit a one-out triple to right center

and was driven in on a single by redshirt freshmanEsteban Puerta to tie the game. Freshman Jose Bonilla Traverso pinch ran for Puerta and stole second, putting the go-ahead run in scoring position.

Strikers Defeat FAU 6-1 Pre-Season Debut

The Fort Lauderdale Strikers defeated the Florida Atlantic University Owls 6-1 in a preseason friendly in front of a standing-room only crowd at FAU Soccer Stadium in Boca Raton, Fla. After a cagey first half, three second-half goals in a five-minute span gave the Strikers an insurmountable lead. FAU went ahead on an early freak goal aided by the wind, but the Strikers responded almost immediately through Chris Nurse. A corner kick from the left took a couple deflections before meeting the head of Fort Lauderdale’s newest signing who applied the finishing touch past the keeper. After going into the halftime interval level, the Strikers found their rhythm early in the second half with goals from Mark Anderson, Darnell King and Manny Gonzalez. Gonzalez’ clever flick over

the defense found Martin Nuñez in space, alone with the keeper. Martin unselfishly reversed the ball to Anderson who buried the opportunity. Darnell King was the recipient of a trademark run and cross from Iván Guerrero on the left, smashing the ball into the net. Gonzalez scored a brilliant individual goal moments later with a laser beam from 30 yards that was destined to fly into the top corner of the net as soon as it left his foot. The crowd gave him a standing ovation for the thunderous strike. Trialist Mitchell Lopes got on the board with a beautiful volley, before Aly Alberto Hassan increased the lead further after scoring a penalty kick he earned. The Strikers next preseason match is against Nova Southeastern University on March 22. The game is free and open to the public.
