Holocaust Victims and Survivors Honored by Local Teens

By Quezia Salgado

Terms such as rebellion, attitude, and sarcasm are frequently used to describe the behavior displayed by teenagers. After all, who doesn’t remember that phase of existential crisis, where the entire world seems to be against you and no one can understand your deepest thoughts and feelings? The misunderstood young man or woman resorts then to talking back and disrespecting authority. While there are some who could use tougher discipline, the majority of teens will show themselves to be quite polite, caring, and even interested, if given a considerable amount of attention and opportunity.

It was with this vision that Olympic Heights High School teacher Abbe Snyder, along with other teachers, decided to create a project where they would be able to pay tribute to Holocaust victims, and survivors, on a grander scale than what had been done previous years. All the while they were creating an environment where students would be able to give back to the community through a learning experience.

The project consisted of gathering names of Jews who suffered through the horrors of the Holocaust, and attaching the names to a set of beads made by the students, which would hang in a boxed structure they put together, and then placed on display in a showcase on the school campus.

Holocaust Victims and Survivors Honored by Local Teens

Various sources

Continue from page 1 were used to

gather the 960 names, including the Yad Vashem website database, relatives of the students and teachers, and those of local residents whose family members had either perished or survived the massacre. Snyder remembers that when she explained the project to the students they were very excited: “It was interesting to me how some students chose the names; they either chose their own first or last name. Even more interesting was the fact that some of my students who are from South or Central America and the Islands were able to find names.” The Yad Vashem database offers an option where you can find a person by their age. While

some students chose names of babies and adults, most of them, like 17 year old Natalia, chose teenagers: “I chose a name just like mine, Natalia; she was 16. I didn’t know people could have the same names in other countries; I thought Natalia was a LatinAmerican name.”

Several other teachers contributed to the project, including Michael Klein, who submitted the names of 30 of his parents’ family members who were lost: “Personally this was an opportunity for me to memorialize their names; I teach the Holocaust as a semester course here, so the topic is a passion of mine.” Klein noted how his students are incredibly sensitized when introduced to such aspects of social studies: “The Holocaust is a unique event in history; it is

used in the curriculum not to teach about the story of the Jewish people, but rather as a platform to study man’s inhumanity.”

The purpose for the Holocaust Memorial Wall is to make the students aware of the horrific events that took place in history, and are unfortunately still happening . The students’ feedback speaks to the validity and impact of this project: “Before this project I already talked about the topic, but now that I’ve seen the videos and heard the stories I feel like I have more background information and am able to talk about it more in-depth”, says Juanita Gomez.

Mrs. LeGrand is another teacher who felt it would be extremely valuable for her students to participate in this project: “My mother and father-in-law are both survivors; it was very personal for me.”

LeGrand’s father-in-law, Sam, had written pieces of his story as a survivor over the years, and asked her to compile them into a book a few years ago – a book which LeGrand includes in her students’ reading list: “While my students read Elie Wiesel’s Night, they can also read Sam’s story – a real person they could connect with.”

Although Sam was too infirmed to attend the dedication ceremony, after learning of its success he expressed to LeGrand how incredibly touched he was that these High Schoolers would put in so much time and effort into a project like this, and that he feels that his goal of making sure the Holocaust would always be remembered has finally been accomplished. LeGrand reminded her students that they are the last generation that can say they’ve met and spoken to Holocaust survivors: “They can tell their children and friends about this; they’re a testimony that it was real.”

For one of LeGrand’s students, Stephanie Agassi, the Holocaust wall project was also very personal and important, since both her grandmother and great grandmother were survivors: “My grandmother’s death really took a number on me because we had such a close relationship; I felt obligated to do this because I would do anything for her, even die for her so she could live to see another day.”

Like Sam, Norman Frajman is another Holocaust survivor whose relatives’ names are part of the wall, all 126 of them. Frajman, who was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1929, became an orphan at the age of 12 after his mother and sisters were killed in the camp of Majdanek. Frajman was among the survivors who attended the wall dedication ceremony on April 2nd, and confesses he was incredibly touched. Frajman said the most important piece of advice he can leave for this generation is to: “concentrate on doing away with hatred and bullying; to create a better world in order to prevent future catastrophes and carnage. There is no room for genocide on this small planet that we live on. We must leave a legacy for future generations to learn to live in peace and harmony.”

During the Holocaust Wall dedication ceremony on April 2nd, many Boca residents who are survivors of the Holocaust were present and also stayed after the event to speak to the students about their experiences. Of all the names on the wall, 126 belong to the family members of Norman Frajman, who were brutally murdered by the Nazis. Frajman, who was born in Warsaw in 1929, became an orphan at the age of 12 after his mother and sisters were killed in the camp of Majdanek.

English Students Looking for Host Families in Boca Raton

The Florida Atlantic University Diplomacy Program recently received the Distinguished Delegation Award and the Outstanding Delegation Award for its participation in the 2014 National Model United Nations competition in New York City.

Forty FAU undergraduates represented the university in what is the largest, most prestigious collegiate simulation of the United Nations in the world. This marks the eighth consecutive year that FAU has received a national award in this competition. FAU was the only school in the state of Florida to receive either a Distinguished Delegation or Outstanding Delegation Award.

The six-day simulation included more than 6,000 university students from around the

world. The FAU delegation that received the Distinguished Delegation Award was representing Costa Rica and the delegation that received the Outstanding Delegation Award represented Finland.

FAU’s Diplomacy Program was established in 1996 in order to train students in the art of negotiation, conflict resolution and global problem solving. Annually, the Program prepares students for diplomatic competitions in numerous venues. In addition to more than 30 hours of competition, FAU students visited the United Nations, attended a career fair hosted by international organizations, and attended presentations

by U.N. officials and diplomats.

Top of Their Classes Congratulations to Timothy Sachse, a teacher at Atlantic Community High School, who this week was honored with a William T. Dwyer Awards for Excellence in Education.

Mr. Sachase joined five other visionary teachers Tuesday night to accept the top honors for educators in Palm Beach County.

He is the instructor and advisor for the school’s Eagle’s Nest Construction Academy, which recently completed the second home that the students built with energy-efficient materials. In partnership with the city, local businesses and agencies, the school is able to secure support and donations for state-of-the-art green materials.

The other honorees were, in the elementary school category, Annmarie Muir of Belvedere Elementary; middle school, Barbara Close of Palm Beach Day Academy; senior high, Kendra Huff of Palm Beach Gardens Community High; special programs, Megan LaVogue of Jerry Thomas Elementary; and the George T. Elmore 30th Anniversary Award for Professional Excellence is Tracy Smith, Bak Middle School of the Arts.

Each of the recipients of the award kept up the tradition of terrific work in and out of the classroom.

The 30th annual awards program was

presented by the Economic Council of Palm Beach County and the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County. It is named for the late William T. Dwyer, a dynamic civic leader and highly respected vice president of Pratt & Whitney`s Government Products Division. He was the founding president of the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County and he served on countless boards and committees in his quest to promote excellence in education.

Each recipient received a $3,000 check and a personalized crystal flame award, symbolizing creativity, campus leadership and maintaining high standards.

The remaining 20 finalists picked up a framed certificate and a $500 check.

Each school with a winning teacher will also receive $1,250 for the school to use for educational purposes.

All nominees, finalists and award recipients were honored at the reception and ceremony at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts.

I must also give kudos to five remarkable individuals who were recognized recently as the 2014 African American Achievers in South Florida.

They join the distinguished fraternity of which I am a proud honoree.

This year’s honorees are Marshall Davis, in the category of Arts & Culture; Barbara Sharief, for Business & Entrepreneurism; my dear friend Estella Pyfrom,

the Brilliant bus lady, for Community Service; and James F. Griffin II, Education honoree. Blanche Ely High School senior Kenny Alexis was the recipient of the Jerome Edmund Gray Youth Achiever Award presented by The Jim Moran Foundation.

Pyfrom, of Palm Beach County, runs a mobile learning center for low-income children.

Sharief won for starting and developing home health care company South Florida Pediatric Home Care Inc., which employs more than 600 people.

Davis runs the African Cultural Heritage Arts Center in Miami.

INTEGRETY MOMENTS

By Rick Boxx

Bright Ideas - Sometimes from Unlikely Sources Suggestion boxes at companies are being replaced by online idea-submission systems, according to the Wall Street Journal, a respected business periodical.

These systems not only receive ideas for changes and new initiatives, but also allow employees the opportunity to comment and vote on suggestions from other staff members.

PricewaterhouseCoopers launched an idea-management website that generated 3,300 new ideas. Although the consulting firm has implemented only 140 of those ideas to date, the ones they did put into use have saved the company hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The irony is that too often executives call upon outsiders to evaluate business practices, systems and a variety of other factors that affect revenues and expenses, but fail to consider the insiders that could have the greatest insight. Employ-

ees usually know company products and processes better than consultants, since they work with them every day, yet many organizations never ask their staffs for ideas.

Years ago, manufacturers implemented “quality circles,” through which the employees most affected by production decisions would have input into actions taken and what conclusions were reached. In many cases employee advisory groups contributed significantly to greater efficiency and economy.

It might not be necessary to create quality circles for your organization, but some purposeful way of soliciting and responding to staff input on important organizational and management strategies could pay great dividends. There is a saying that sometimes it is hard to distinguish the forest from the trees, but it might be wise to periodically consult

with those that are most familiar with the “trees.”

The Bible has much to say about this approach to business: Do not be too proud to consult with others. Some executives seem to take the attitude that since they are in leadership positions, they should be expected to have all the answers. There is no rule that says that, and wise leaders encourage staff people to offer their perspectives. Proverbs 12:15 teaches, “The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice.”

Be receptive to views from a variety of reliable sources. There are many ways of soliciting valued counsel regarding business plans and key decisions, ranging from idea-submission systems to employee and team meetings. By taking full advantage of people and ideas available, the likelihood of success

is multiplied. “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed”(Proverbs 15:22).

Value the resources available within your own staff. Often the thinking of consultants is given greater weight because of their presumed objective perspectives. However, good stewardship requires proper utilization of the personnel we have within our companies, including involving their insights in critical decisions and practices. “…

Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household”(Matthew 13:57).

Do not overlook the wisdom of your staff. If you make the process easy and open for all, they may have ideas that save you thousands.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Mere Activity Does Not Equal Accomplishment!

A large number of people, in various realms of society, too often appear agitated, impatient, unavailable to others, and incapable of concluding their tasks in a timely manner. Some of these people even consider the appearance of being busy to represent a status symbol.

While a small minority of those who act in that fashion may offer cogent reasons as to why this is so, most others have no rational explanation for such behavior other than what becomes increasingly obvious to those who know them well and others who examine

them closely, through observing how they function.

There’s no amount of hiding, or pretended justification that can be more eloquent than their obvious, irresponsible modus operandi, i.e. their chosen way of doing things, which produce those attitudes without the anticipated, palpable product!

All the great achievements in human history, all the business enterprises which have impacted and are still influencing the world, came to pass through good planning, realistic timing, and

resolute devotion to good quality in all things, great or small!

Advances in any enterprise never occur by “cutting corners.” Lame excuses will never satisfy a public which can’t reconcile prior promises made with a total, perpetual absence of them beyond the scheduled delivery date. Talking about intentions is not the same as seeing them fulfilled!

A related problem also comes from those who never complete nor deliver what is expected of them. Due to perfectionism, they complete their tasks

but never find them sufficiently satisfactory to be presented. As a result, they continue trying to improve a project, when the way it is more than satisfies the demands of its production.

Devising a plan, sticking to it, and concentrating on the date set for its delivery are the best requisites, and also incentives, to bring each task to completion, free from distractions which would hinder their timely and successful fruition!

Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr. is a Florida resident who, for many years, was a professor at the post-graduate level. He is a writer, a sought-after conference speaker, a man who lived in five continents of the world, having received his education in four of them. When he resided in southern California, he wrote a weekly column for the daily “Anaheim Bulletin,” which was carried for about six years, until he moved to south Florida.

Low-Cost Airline Makes Boca its New Home

By CRA News Service A new era in air travel is coming. Avatar Airlines, which recently moved its headquarters to Boca Raton, will prove that it is an airline “Where Size Matters.” Avatar will be first in a new generation of air travel in the United States.

So, what’s so exciting about a new airline -- and why will it revolutionize the travel industry?

Officials for the airline, which will be headquartered at 20283 State Road 7, said ticket prices will be subsidized by advertorial content which will mean lower ticket prices for their travelers. Fares will be between $19 and $99 with add-on costs for technology access, officials said. Advertisers will help lower the cost of a common airline ticket for customers.

Avatar Airlines will be unlike any other current airline in operation in the United States. President and COO Marvin Ruthenberg aims to build an airline, from the ground up, that will rival anything American consumers have seen to date.

So, what does this mean to the average consumer? Imagine ticket prices that are nearly half as much as any airline in the United States. With revenue subsidies from advertisers that dream will become a reality with Avatar Airlines.

“You won’t find any aircraft being used for domestic flights in the United States that is near the size of Avatar’s proposed Boeing 747s,” Ruthenberg said.

The 747 is considered one of the world’s safest and most comfortable aircraft used in commercial aviation today.

“Avatar Airlines chose the 747 based on consumer confidence, an impeccable safety record, availability and overall capacity,” Ruthenberg said. “The level of training necessary to be certified to fly this type of aircraft ranks its pilots among the most experienced in the industry and the elite of the profession.”

Avatar Airlines is seeking investor capital and governmental approval to jumpstart the operation

FAU ‘Making Waves Gala’ Raises More Than $500,000

By Samantha Neeley

Florida Atlantic University recently hosted the “Making Waves Gala,” a black tieoptional event, with proceeds providing scholarships and support for veterans and first generation students.

The event was held in the Martin F. & Jane Greenberg Foundation Tower at FAU Stadium, Boca Raton campus. Host committee chairs were Marilyn and Jay Weinberg. Cochairs were Mark and Marcie Butters and Marianne Lerner.

“The ‘Making Waves Gala’ was a tremendous success, with more than $500,000 raised for veteran and first generation student scholarships,” FAU President John Kelly said in a news release. “I would like to thank our gala host committee and more than 60 sponsors again for their support, as

well as our volunteers and more than 700 guests.”

The gala spanned the plaza and two levels of the stadium tower, with each level featuring a unique theme. Guests could taste their way across the U.S.A. in the open-air Delray Hyundai Priority Level, which featured cuisine from the northeast, bayou, southwest and west coast regions of the country, as well as live music by Motown band “Memory Lane” for dancing. The Delray Acura Premier Level was transformed into an elegant U.S.O-themed canteen with ice sculptures, a seafood display, and entertainment provided by jazz vocalist Chloe Dolandis ’07.

Highlights of the Americana-themed party included a “halftime” show on the field featuring a video montage, performances

by Dolandis and the FAU marching band, and a spectacular fireworks display; and live and silent auctions featuring a $10,000 Saks Fifth Avenue shopping spree, a stadium suite for 20 at an FAU home football game, a 60-minute helicopter tour, a day of high performance sports car racing at Sebring International Raceway, and two tickets to the Tony Awards in New York City.

Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale Celebrates Easter Service at FAU Stadium

By Quezia Salgado

Photos by Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale’s Facebook

Franklin Graham, the son of renowned evangelist Billy Graham, was the guest of honor at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale’s Easter service on Sunday, April 20th. The event took place at FAU’s football stadium, where thousands of families gathered to celebrate one of the most important days for the Christian community: the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The morning started out with a preservice where Calvary’s media department took attendees on a journey of finding Biblical clues among the crowd, culminating in an interactive conversation with one of the Roman soldiers who was helping to guard the tomb where Jesus was buried.

As Graham took the stage around 9am, he began his sermon telling the story of the blind man Bartimaeus, who was healed by Jesus after calling out to him: “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Graham emphasized that everyone is born into sin

and guilty of it, but that God sent Jesus to earth on a rescue mission to save all.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Graham concluded his message by inviting to the front of the stage those in the crowd who wanted to give their lives to Jesus. Sure enough hundreds heeded to the call and publicly displayed their devotion to God, praying the sinner’s prayer led by Graham himself.

American Fine Wine Competition Raises $80,000 at Charity Wine Gala

Little Mix Kicks off First-Ever Headlining North American Tour in Boca

By Joshua Estrin

Spirits were high, tables set, and awardwinning wines flowing and plentiful as corks popped for a cause. The 7th Annual American Fine Wine Competition (AFWC) Charity Wine Gala featured 30 Winemaker Tasting Rooms, hosted by the winemakers themselves, to showcase the top winners of the Competition which took place in January at FIU’s Chaplin School of Hospitality- with an event record of 766 wines judged. The winners, known to wine connoisseurs as bronze, silver, gold and double gold medalists, were all available for guests’ enjoyment as they dined on a gourmet 5-course feast and danced to jazz vocalist Hilary Cole’s sultry serenades. By the end of the night, more than $80,000 in much-needed funds had been raised to benefit Deliver the Dream, a local nonprofit which hosts retreats that enable families who are experiencing serious illness or crisis to regain strength, mend spirits, and just be families and kids again.

As more than 360 of South Florida’s top business professionals, philanthropists, wine enthusiasts and collectors walked into the courtyard of the Boca Raton Resort & Club, they were greeted by an innovative iPod-generated “bid-pal” silent auction with two hundred baskets of competition wine autographed by their specific vintners. Upon entering the Ballroom, a veritable showcase of 30 winery tasting booths were placed around the perimeter so guests could swirl, sniff, and taste all of the winning medalist wines. Alan Kalter, announcer for The Late Show with David Letterman, served

as emcee and auctioneer for the live auction of 10 rare wine and travel experiences, including a three-day stay at Dumol Winery in Napa Valley which brought in a winning bid of $13,000. Another trip to Puerto Rico sponsored by Don Q Rum, which included a private chef, yielded $6,000 and was specifically donated to a Boston Marathon Victim Fund, One Fund Boston, which continues to support survivors such as Roseann Sdoia who attended. Sdoia tragically lost her leg to the attack last April.

Each year proceeds of the AFWC gala go primarily to one local nonprofit. This year’s gala funds for Deliver the Dream in Ft. Lauderdale were made possible by the generous wine makers, volunteers, and sponsors including Jim Kar from Principal Financial Group, Total Wine & More, Florida Fresh Meat Company, Rod Coleman, Esq. & Associates, Air Around the Clock, FIU School of Hospitality & Tourism, Scott Roberts & Associates, Coventry Health Care, Kaye Communications, and many more.

The American Fine Wine Competition (AFWC) is the multi-faceted brainchild of three notable wine professionals and a way of showcasing America’s best wines to the public, with the goal of raising funds to support local charities and non-profits. From coast to coast, America is bursting with vineyards that produce some of the finest grapes in the world and the competition brings them all together to compete for a great cause through AFWC’s Annual Charity Gala.

International group Little Mix has announced they will kick off their first ever North American headlining tour in Boca Raton set in the Fall of 2014.

Little Mix’s current single “Move” in which Billboard calls a “fantastic new single” while noting the video “harkens back to the glorious days of early-00s bubblegum pop and mixes an appreciation for throwback choreography with slow-motion sultrines.” has amassed over 46 million views. Check out the video here:http://smarturl.it/LMMoveVideo.

In May 2013, Little Mix made US history as their debut album DNA was the highest charting debut for a UK girl group ever, surpassing the Spice Girls record. To date, Little Mix have sold over 4 million records worldwide and have captivated the US with their GOLD certified debut single “Wings,” which has been featured in the hit shows GLEE, American Idol and Dancing With the Stars.

Boca man, 76, Killed in Car-Semi Crash

By Jason Schwartz

A 76-year-old Boca Raton man was killed Monday morning in a crash involving a tractor-trailer and a car on Clint Moore Road, police said.

Irving M. Mangel was killed when his 2014 Hyundai Equis crashed into and became pinned underneath a Freightliner trailer, city police said. Mangel was pronounced dead at the scene. Johnny Ray Arden, the driver of the truck, was not injured.

The crash happened shortly after 6 a.m. between East Rogers and West Rogers circles, west of Congress Avenue and east of Military Trail.

Arden, 69, of Kingston, Tenn. was eastbound on Clint Moore Road when he attempted to make a U-turn, police said. Mangel, who was traveling west on Clint Moore, collided with the trailer. The Hyundai Equus was wedged underneath the trailer.

The road was closed for about four hours as police investigate the crash, which remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call traffic homicide investigator Chris Somers at 561-620-6141, or Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at 800-458-TIPS (8477).

Hubby of Renowned Teen Therapist Arrested on Battery Charge Against Wife

By Jason Schwartz

Police have arrested and charged the owner of a prominent Fort Lauderdale-based rehabilitation and addiction treatment center after he allegedly shoved his wife.

Officers were called to Christopher Walsh’s Royal Palm home for a domestic disturbance on April 11, according to an arrest report.

Walsh’s arrest comes seven months after his wife Karen Corcoran Walsh was arrested and charged with child abuse. That charge was later dropped.

Karen Corcoran Walsh told police that her husband came home from a night of drinking and gambling at the Seminole Casino then pushed her. She also said he had just been “released from rehab in Arizona a few

days earlier, according to the arrest report.

Police charged Christopher Walsh with battery.

Walsh and his wife, a child therapist, are the owners of Inspirations for Youth and Families, an addiction treatment and mental health rehabilitation center for teenagers and families that have been featured on the “Dr. Phil Show.”

A family friend, James Hughes, who is also the CEO of the Walsh’s business, told police he drove Christopher Walsh home from the Seminole Casino earlier that night, according to the report.

The female officers who responded to the Walsh home said Christopher Walsh told them to “F–K Off!” He also allegedly told one of the officers that he was “going to f–k me in the a-s,” the officer wrote.

When the officers tried to get Walsh out of bed, he flatulated towards one of the officer, according to the report.

Karen Corcoran Walsh said that her husband is “out of control.”

Man Charged with Burglary Claims He was Sleepwalking On Monday, April 14 at about 3:15 a.m., Boca Raton Police officers responded to an alarm at the RX Care Pharmacy, 799 East Palmetto Park Road. Arriving officers found the front door smashed, but due to the hurricane glass, entry was not made into the business.

As officers searched the area, they located Julio Montoya nearby. Montoya was wearing a white hoodie, shorts and sandals and denied any involvement in the incident.

Later that day, detectives met with the Pharmacy manager and reviewed the surveillance video. One suspect is seen

at 3:13 a.m., to the rear of the business.

The suspect, who is wearing a white hoodie, shorts and sandals, walks around the entire building. The second suspect is seen at 3:15 a.m., and is wearing a ball cap and jeans. It appears this suspect smashes the front door to the business.

Detectives met with Montoya, who admitted he is the person wearing the white hoodie who is seen on the video but denied trying to break the window. Montoya said he was walking to the 7-11 on West Palmetto Park Road but could not explain why he walked around the business, but said he sometimes sleepwalks.

Bomb Threat Forces Atlantic High Evacuation

By Jason Schwartz

Students at Atlantic High School were forced out of their classes for about two hours after Delray Beach police received a bomb scare Monday morning.

It was not clear how the threat was received but Delray Beach Police sent out a tweet shortly before 9:30 a.m. asking all parents not to go to the school at 2455 West Atlantic Ave. Police blocked off the entrance to the

property and sent students to the stadium bleachers while they searched the school with Palm Beach County Sheriff`s Office dogs.

“The school is all clear!” tweeted Delray Beach police shortly after 11 a.m. “The students are going back inside. Thanks for your patience!” No one was arrested. “The school is all clear!” tweeted Delray Beach police. “The students are going back inside.

Proteststers to Mark False Arrest of Businessman

By Fred Hamilton

Local residents are gearing up to join supporters across the state for a rally to bring attention to what they say was the false arrest and conviction of Wellington black businessman Marvin Williams in Lake County, a region known for inequitable treatment of African Americans as in the cases of slain teens Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis.

Hundreds plan to assemble Saturday, May 3 at 2 p.m., for rallies at Hilltop Missionary Baptist Church, 1273 West 30th St., Riviera Beach; the State Capitol Building, 400 South Monroe St., Tallahassee and the Lake County Courthouse, 550 W. Main St., Tavares, where Williams was tried and convicted.

Attendees are asked to wear a white ball cap, which Williams was wearing on the day in question, as a symbolic support.

A series of shoddy and improper procedures surrounding evidence and cultural bias led to the arrest and later conviction of Williams, following a November 2010 road rage incident.

“We are tired of this state treating black males as if they have no rights, arresting, trying and convicting them regardless of blatant evidence and manipulating the outcome of cases by playing on the public’s fear of blackness,” said Tina Williams, the wife of the accused. “And the attorneys who get these cases try their defendants as if they are guilty from the jump, instead of presumed innocent.”

Williams, 50, is a 1995 Florida A&M University graduate and a member of the 100 Black Men of America, among other civic and professional groups. He was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill. He was convicted and sentenced to three years at the Sumter Correctional Facility. He began his sentence in February 2013.

On Nov. 4, 2010, around 2 p.m., Williams was traveling north from West Palm Beach

to Tallahassee on Florida’s Turnpike in Lake County, when he noticed a gray Honda, two cars ahead, constantly slamming on brakes.

The driver of a red Chevy Cobalt, a woman, between Williams’ car and the Honda, was finally able to pull around the Honda. Once past the Honda, she waved her arms as if frustrated. Williams, now traveling behind the Honda, also became frustrated with the constant braking and passed him on the right.

In what has been described as a five-second exchange, the Honda driver, later identified as Todd McBride, who is white, of Belleview, made angry gestures at Williams as he passed the Honda. Williams responded by pointing his finger at McBride as if admonishing him. McBride began to follow Williams for about 15 minutes, as Williams darted in and out of traffic to evade McBride. Finally, Williams pulled off the Turnpike at exit 296 and stopped on the side of the off ramp. McBride followed him and stopped a few feet behind.

Within seconds, a Florida Highway Patrolman arrived, spoke with both men and informed Williams that McBride called the Highway Patrol and reported that Williams, while driving a few feet in front of him in the right lane on the turnpike, had turned around and pointed a gun through the window at him.

The trooper asked Williams whether he had a handgun. Williams, who has a weapons permit, responded yes and told the trooper the handgun was in the glove box, but he never removed it. The trooper retrieved the

handgun.

When another trooper arrived on the scene, that trooper took Williams’ handgun to McBride and asked whether it was the gun Williams pointed at him. McBride said yes.

Williams was arrested and booked. More than a year later he was tried and convicted.

He hired criminal attorney Cary Rada from Tavares, the Lake County town where Williams would be prosecuted.

Rada had seen his name on the docket and sent him a flyer, his family said. Williams hired him figuring the case would be thrown out: the weapon didn’t match; there were no eye witnesses; Williams was left handed, making it pretty improbable that he could grab a gun and hold it in his right hand, pull it across his body to point it out a window driving at elevated speeds; the accuser never described his white baseball hat as a distinguishing feature and Williams was an established businessman with absolutely no reason to point a gun at a passing motorist.

Williams had no criminal record. He only carried the gun because he was on the road so much.

However, the Williams soon figured out that gun laws don’t apply to blacks. The fact that a black male possesses a handgun automatically makes him guilty in certain eyes.

“You would think with all of that evidence in favor of my husband that they would have thrown out the case,” Tina Williams said.

“But instead the prosecutor persuaded the judge not to allow McBride’s criminal history into the trial. The man had several arrests for

drug possession and even was arrested for imitating a police officer.”

At issue: - The trooper showed the accuser the evidence.

- The gun described by McBride during his phone conversation with Florida Highway Patrol did not match the description of the handgun in Williams’ car. After being shown the handgun, his description changed later to match the gun in the trooper’s report.

When speaking with Florida Highway Patrol, McBride initially said it was a black 9mm or 45 caliber handgun. Although Williams does have a 9mm handgun, it has a black handle with a silver barrel. Williams is left handed.

- When describing Williams to Florida Highway Patrol, McBride described the accused as being an African American male in his 30s or 40s. McBride never mentioned any outstanding features on Williams. Williams, however, was wearing a white baseball cap.

A trooper passing in the southbound lane asked the dispatcher to check with McBride whether Williams was wearing the baseball cap. McBride did not see one.

- McBride’s criminal history was not admitted at the trial. McBride has a lengthy rap sheet, including several drug possession charges and impersonating a police officer as one of his many offenses.

- Contributing to Williams’ conviction was poor representation by his personal attorney, who practices in that area. His attorney did not challenge several key points, including not entering McBride’s criminal history and the improper display of the handgun.

The Williams family is looking for the driver of a red Chevy Cobalt, traveling on the Turnpike, just south of exit 296 in Lake County around 2 p.m. on Nov. 4. 2010, to corroborate Williams’ account of McBride’s demeanor.

Migrants Come Ashore Near Delray Beach

By Jason Schwartz

One dozen illegal Haitian immigrants coming from the Bahamas were taken into custody shortly after they landed in Highland Beach recently.

Authorities captured them as soon after they came ashore in the tiny oceanfront enclave south of Delray Beach.

At around 6 a.m. local police found eight men, three women and a juvenile walking in

the 4600 block of South Ocean Boulevard, according to the U.S. Border Patrol.

Two women received medical treatment on the scene and one, who was seven months pregnant, was taken to Bethesda Medical Center and later released, officials said.

The immigrants were taken to a border patrol office in Riviera Beach where they will be processed.

No boat was found in the area.

Raising $110,000 for Music Education in South Florida Schools

Timolin Cole, Tashad Gardenhire, Rashad Gardenhire & Casey Cole

Twin daughters of music legend Nat King Cole, Timolin and Casey Cole, launched NKCGH to honor the legacy, music and life of their father in 2008 after learning of budget cuts in public schools directly affecting the arts. Since that time, donations in excess of $500,000 have benefited thousands of children with “the greatest need and fewest resources” in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.

The Coles come from a family with a history of musical excellence and charitable giving, with their father a trailblazer in the music industry and mother Maria, also an entertainer, known for supporting multiple causes throughout her life.

Holocaust Horror in Hungary

April 28 is Yom Ashoah on the Jewish calendar. What better time to view “Walking With The Enemy?”

Yom Asoah commemorates the dead of the Holocaust. It also means “never again.”

Hungary in World War II was aligned with Germany through its fascist Arrow Cross Party, but it remained an independent country until the Nazis invaded near the end of the war.

The story is inspired by a true Jewish Hungarian hero, Pinchas Rosenbaum.

In the film, directed, co-written (with Kenny Golde) and produced by Mark Schmidt, the Rosenbaum character is called Elek Cohen, and he is played by handsome rising British-Irish star Jonas Armstrong.

The story begins in Budapest in the spring of 1944. Elek is a university student enjoying a flirtation with pretty Hannah (Hannah Schoen). Their carefree evening in a nightclub is marred by anti-Semitic slurs, and Elek and his friends are ordered out. Nazi swastikas are going up around town and Jews are being ordered to wear yellow stars.

We see the leader of the Jewish community meeting with the head of the Arrow Cross Party, who assures him

if Jews follow certain restrictions, no harm will befall them.

Elek, the son of a rabbi, does not believe this, and actively rebels against the growing anti-Jewish threat. For this he is arrested and sent off to a prison labor camp. Elek escapes from the horrendous camp, but when he returns home he find a non-Jewish family living in his old house. Jews are being rounded up and shipped off. German pressure is being elevated by the sadistic Col. Skorzeny (Burn Gorman).

Elek hatches a desperate plot: when an SS officer is killed, he steals his uniform and impersonates a Nazi officer so he may learn more about the enemy. Elek enlists the help of Swiss diplomat Carl Lutz to obtain Swiss passports to save at least some of Hungary’s Jews.

There is a lot more going on in this film; plenty of cruelty, violence, rape, intrigue and heartbreak, but it made me proud of my Swiss ancestry. I did not know its role in this horrific chapter of human history. I did not know of Pinchas Rosenbaum either, but now I do, and I salute his memory.

DIVORCE FLORIDA STYLE

FAITH

By Mike Gora

By Robert J. Tamasy

Bubble Trouble

Living a Life to Die for The English language has a phrase, “to die for.” This basically means something is good beyond imagining. For instance, “The steak at this restaurant is to die for.”

It is so good it defies description.

Thinking along those lines, have you ever experienced anything you could say was “to die for”? Maybe it was food, a travel destination, or a spectator experience that surpassed your greatest expectations?

What about living a life to die for? For some that might mean immersing in favorite pastimes, such as fishing or golfing, music or traveling. Others might think of a life dedicated to the pursuit of wealth, or professional success and achievement.

Each of those can offer a level of satisfaction, but in pursuing those alone, we might one day find ourselves singing the old song refrain, “Is that all there is?”

Living a life to die for, in my view, is one lived intentionally and purposefully, defined by an unwavering sense of mission. A life in which the person clearly understands who he or she is, why they are here, and feels propelled to fulfill that purpose. Ultimately, a life that influences many people in positive, life-changing ways. When that individual’s life on earth is ended, an enduring legacy remains.

During my lifetime I have had the privilege of knowing a few people like that, but only a few. Recently my longtime friend, David Stoddard, founder of the non-profit I have worked for the past 12 years, went home to be with the Lord.

Dave was one of those rare, larger-thanlife people.

He had several distinctive traits - an ever-present smile, genuine humility, great kindness and generosity, a love for people, devotion to his family, and deep faith in Jesus Christ. The verse, “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain”

(Philippians 1:21) aptly described Dave’s life and his unexpected departure from this life at the age of 60.

When I met Dave about 30 years ago, he was an up-and-coming sales executive with a medical supplies company, on a fast track to becoming its top executive.

It was worthwhile work, but he felt a calling to do more than sell stethoscopes and surgical equipment. So he resigned, accepting a staff role with CBMC. He oversaw the production of a training series called “Living Proof.” Later, following his vision for having an impact for Christ in companies and corporations of all sizes, Dave started Leaders Legacy. In the 14 years he led the organization, thousands of lives were touched through his unique approach to mentoring, executive coaching, leadership development and team building.

He and I collaborated on his book, The Heart of Mentoring. Its subtitle described the mission he pursued: Developing people to their fullest potential. This encompassed not only professional and personal training, but also helping them discover how to relate spiritual truths to every aspect of their lives. At Dave’s memorial service, dozens of people spoke about the life-changing impact he had on their lives. He would have been quick to point out it was God, not him, that did the changing.

The key for Dave, in business and investing in others’ lives, was total trust and dependence on God. He understood apart from Christ we can do nothing (John 15:5) and we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength (Philippians 4:13).

Here’s a question for you: Are you living a life to die for?

Robert J. Tamasy is vice president of communications for Leaders Legacy, Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. A veteran journalist, he has written Tufting Legacies (iUniverse); Business At Its Best: Timeless Wisdom from Proverbs for Today’s Workplace (River City Press); and has coauthored with David A. Stoddard, The Heart of Mentoring (NavPress). For more information, see www.leaderslegacy.com or his blogs, www.bobtamasy.blogspot.com and www.bobtamasy.wordpress.com.

Q Seven years ago, at my husband’s suggestion, we met with a paralegal at her office in West Palm Beach to work out a marital settlement agreement.

We wanted to save money, so we did not want to hire lawyers. We had no children, had only been married for seven years, and both had good jobs. The only property that we had was a nice large house in Jupiter, which we had bought for just over a million dollars in 2004. By 2006, we both agreed that the house was worth about a million five. We have an interest only mortgage of about $600,000.00

We agreed to sell the house on the market, but that I could live in the house for seven years before putting it on the market. We thought it was a good investment. We would share the mortgage and other house expenses.

My husband however retained an option to buy me out after the seven years. The contract did not provide a price for that buyout, but my husband told me that I was guaranteed no less than my equity at the time of the marital settlement agreement.

A couple of months ago my now former husband sent me an e-mail telling me that he was going to exercise his option to buy me out, as the house had been on the market for a year and not sold. I asked, “At what price”, and he said, “Current market.”

I told him he was crazy, he had guaranteed me market value at the time we made the deal. He said that he did not remember, and the contract never said that. We had an appraisal done and the house is now worth $650,000.

My share is now $25,000 instead of

$450,000.00. I want to sell to him at the old market value, because of what he told me. Do you think I can win? Is it worth hiring an attorney?

A. Marital settlement agreements are merely contracts, and the rules of interpreting contracts, generally, apply. As a rule, contracts regarding the sale of real estate must be in writing in order to be enforceable.

Another rule governing the interpretations of contracts is that all of the terms should be interpreted in a consistent manner that makes sense, if possible. In the contract that you describe, there is a missing element, the manner in which the price would be determined if your former husband exercised his option.

However, clearly your agreed attempts to sell the house to third parties by listing it with a real estate broker, calls for the house to be sold at the fair market value at the time of the sale.

Your unexpected problem was cause by the bursting real estate bubble.

You and your former husband both assumed the risk of the market, on sales to third persons, but you want him to bear the full brunt of the market if he exercises his option, by trying to make him buy you out at an old and no longer fair price.

It appears very unlikely that a Judge would find in your favor, based on the contract and surrounding circumstances. There seems to be no reason that a judge would select a fair market value for the option, which would be different from present market value.

Homes Inside and Out

By Joshua Carlson

5 Tips When Hiring a Remodeling Contractor Are you thinking of renovating or remodeling your home? Making the renovations yourself can be more costly than hiring a professional skilled contractor. My father is a General Contractor and I have learned many things when working with him. Not all Contractors are considered the same.

They all have different work ethics and skill levels when completing the job to your specifications.

When choosing to hire a contractor, General or Subcontractor, there are a number of things you should keep in mind in order to avoid many costly mistakes. I am going to share with you 5 important things to be aware of and to follow…

1. Receive at least three written estimates. Make sure they are written.

Within the estimate you should get a quote for what it is going to cost as well as a breakdown of what is included. Most jobs will require labor, materials and permits.

2. Within the contract make sure it states exactly when and what is to be done and how change orders will be handled. Be sure that the contract specifies the contractor will clean up and be responsible for any damages.

Make sure you make the contractor responsible for the proper permits and documentation.

3. Check past client references and the Better Business Bureau. If they cannot

give you references then move on to the next contractor. A true professional can give you names and numbers of past jobs.

4. Make sure that the contractor has the necessary permits, licenses, and insurance. I highly recommend not to hire a contractor without the proper licenses and insurances. If someone slips and falls and they do not have the proper insurance they will come after and sue you. If they do not have the proper license then they will not be held accountable to the state.

5. When paying a contractor make as small of a down payment as possible.

If a contractor asks for full payment then do not hire them. Most profes-

sionals will need a down payment in order to begin the job but do not need to be paid in full at the beginning of the job. Arrange to make payments as the job is completed. This way you won’t lose a lot if the contractor fails to complete the job. Do not make the final payment until job is fully completed and you are satisfied with it.

If you follow these guidelines you will avoid many costly and unnecessary mistakes when renovating or upgrading your home. Some contractors can be intimidating. Remember it is your home and your money. You make the decisions…

Stay tuned for more tips and important information regarding your Home: Inside and Out…

Florence Fuller’s CEO a Recipient of TCIs “Top 10 Women-Led Non-Profit Businesses” Award The Board of the Florence Fuller Child Development Centers, Inc. (FFCDC) is proud to announce that FFCDC’s CEO, Ellyn Okrent, is a recipient of The Commonwealth Institute (TCI) South Florida’s award Top 10 Women-Led Non-Profit Businesses in Florida. Each year TCI recognizes women who have proven to be exceptional leaders in Boston and Florida. Ms. Okrent is one of only 10 women in the state of Florida to receive the award this year. This year’s award ceremony was held on Thursday, April 3, 2014 at the Hilton Miami

Downtown.

“Ellyn is a strong, energetic, and charismatic leader who spearheads this organization with exceptional enthusiasm, passion and forward thinking,” said Bernie Finkelstein, Chairman of the FFCDC Board.

“The Members of the Board are extremely proud and honored to have Ellyn at the head of this organization and continue to support her endeavors as an exceptional leader.”

Lynn University Business Students to Pitch Startup Ideas

Veterans Receive Help At Business Conference

Could the next Uber, Coin or Tesla Motors be incubating in South Florida? Local business leaders will find out when Lynn University students pitch their best new product or business ideas during the finals of the second annual Howard Isaacson Innovation Challenge on April 24. The winner of the contest, which was founded by local entrepreneur Jeremy S. Office, will receive seed capital to further develop their concept.

“When you’re starting a business, knowing how to effectively present and sell your concept is often just as important a factor in your success as having a detailed business plan and financial projections,” said Office, the founder and Principal of Maclendon Wealth Management and managing partner at SJO Worldwide, a venture capital company that specializes in investing in small to medium-sized businesses like the ones students will be pitching. “Students who participate in the Howard Isaacson Innovation Challenge will learn by doing, as they develop, research and pitch a unique business or product to a group of successful area entrepreneurs.”

During the pitch session, teams of up to five graduate and undergraduate students will have 30 minutes to present their business plan to a panel of judges. The judging panel will consist of entrepreneurially minded members of the local business community who will evaluate each pitch based on its creativity and innovation, financial viability, market research and verification, and other factors.

“The Howard Isaacson Innovation Challenge is an important learning opportunity

for our students, helping to prepare them for the next step in their lives and their careers,” said Thomas Kruczek, Dean of the College of Business and Management at Lynn University. “This partnership between the university and one of our successful alumni also allows us to build bridges between the academic world and local business leaders, which further helps position our graduates for success.”

Participants in the April 24 event, which is open to the public, had to clear several hurdles, including submitting a written synopsis of their business idea and making a 20-minute oral presentation of their business plan, before being selected to advance to the final round of the competition. All students participating in the competition will learn to identify new and feasible business ideas, research how those ideas can be brought to the marketplace, evaluate an idea’s financial viability, and develop a workable business model.

“The U.S. was built by innovators who weren’t afraid to take risks. This contest offers students an opportunity to develop challenging ideas and take their own risks,” said Office. “One of our country’s great competitive advantages is our entrepreneurial spirit, and my hope is that this competition will nurture that spirit and help it thrive.”

Office, who earned his Ph.D. in global leadership from Lynn University’s College of Business and Management, established the Howard Isaacson Innovation Challenge in 2013 in honor of his late grandfather and their mutual love of entrepreneurship.

By CRA News Service

Dozens of veterans interested in starting or expanding their small businesses got first-hand help at a free conference at Palm Beach State College on Friday.

“We are committed to bringing more Veteran-owned small businesses into a public-private partnership to help them grow and succeed,” said Joseph Franklin, executive director of the National Disabled Veteran Business Council. “This event is a unique opportunity for veteranowned small businesses to connect directly with government procurement decision makers and business partners.”

The conference was the NDVBC’s premier government event designed to help veteran entrepreneurs compete for — and win — new business.

Rep. Lois Frankel, D-West Palm Beach, told the attendees that she and her colleagues in Washington are working hard to ensure that returning service men and women receive the benefits they deserve.

“Our veterans risked their lives to protect our freedoms and the opportunity for each of us to pursue our own American Dream. When they return home from service, they should also have a fair chance to build a career, support a family, and follow their passions,” said Frankel, who also is the mother of a retired Marine.

There are more than 80,000 unemployed veterans living in Florida. Florida’s veteran unemployment rate sits at 7.3 percent, and the national rate for returning persons in uniform is 6.2 percent.

Frankel and colleagues have established

a Veterans Conservation Corps, aimed at linking vets with jobs restoring and protecting America’s public land and water; and, the Veterans’ Entry to Apprenticeship Act allowing vets to use their education benefits to enroll in preapprenticeship programs.

The sessions were tailored for all stages of business growth.

Participants received information, tools, tips, techniques and how-to instructions to start, build and expand a small business into a life-changing reality. Networking opportunities included business requirements sessions and networking roundtables.

The veterans also learned about getting the veteran-owned business certification needed to compete for federal contracts, outreaching to veteran communities, and targeting networking to discuss government procurement and contracting requirements.

Contractor growth rates are down as the U.S. emerges from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. However, contracting for service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses is increasing at an annual growth rate of 15 percent, organizers said.

There are 26 million small businesses in the United States. Of these, 3.6 million are owned by Veterans and service disabled Veterans. They employ over 1.8 million workers and generate over $1.6 trillion in revenue. VA assists Veteranowned businesses with everything from small business start-ups to large defense contracts.

Mizner Grande Law Firm Protects Distressed Homeowners

Mizner Grande Law Firm always strives to make a difference in the South Florida community, and it takes every step possible to ensure that homeowners aren’t taken advantage of while in vulnerable positions.

One way that homeowners have been abused of late is through quiet title action – something that Mizner Grande Law Firm wants to warn homeowners about and protect them against.

An action to quiet title is a lawsuit filed to establish ownership of land or buildings, and the plaintiff seeks a court order preventing someone else from making a claim

to the property. Mizner Grande Law Firm warns homeowners that because property titles often change hands in real estate, homeowners may be forced to defend their ownership of a property in court.

Mizner Grande Law Firm prides itself on its ability to defend homeowners whenever they are in need against someone looking to take advantage of them. By employing a host of experts in collections with extensive financial expertise, Mizner Grande has never had a client displaced from their home.

Quiet title action is designed to “quiet” any-

one laying claim to ownership of a property title, though it is now sometimes used as a basis to remove homeowners from their property. Because banks typically hold the title to a property until the mortgage is paid, they can take quiet title action against the mortgagee.

Mizner Grande Law Firm is always looking out for the best interest of members of the South Florida community, and wants to ensure that they are made aware of methods that banks can use to take advantage of them. The financial and real estate experts at Mizner Grande Law Firm are sure to

www.bocaratontribune.com

provide any homeowner with the best representation available.

When it comes to defending consumers against those looking to take advantage of them, there is no better option than Mizner Grande Law Firm. Mizner Grande strongly believes that businesses have an obligation to help support and educate the communities that they are a part of by warning against things such as quiet title action that can be used against them, .

Travis Connelly (3-4) was tagged with the loss after going five innings on the mound allowing three earned runs on seven hits with a pair of strikeouts. Bobby Kruse and Bill Mendek both took the mound in relief combining for two innings of one-run ball.

Lynn enters the highly anticipated series with top-ranked and defending national champions Tampa on Friday, April 25.

Lynn Tabs Two on Sunshine State Conference All-Freshman Lacrosse Team

By Olivia Coiro

Lynn University’s first-year lacrosse program continued to make its mark on the record books when Chris D’Angelo and Brian Kiel were named to the Sunshine State Conference All-Freshman Team as announced by the conference office on Tuesday. The duo marks the first two players in Lynn’s history to be honored with conference accolades in the first season of men’s lacrosse for the SSC. D’Angelo is a specialist from Bloomfield Hills, Mich., who won 55 percent of faceoffs at the ‘x’ for the Fighting Knights and grabbed a team-high 82 groundballs in the Blue & White’s inaugural season.

He scored six goals and added three assists to rank fifth on the team in scoring.

D’Angelo scored his first multi-goal game on March 5, when he netted two goals in

Lynn’s 15-9 loss to Notre Dame de Namur and recorded a season-best 15 ground balls against Colorado Mesa on March 30.

Kiel, a 6-foot-5 native of West Babylon, N.Y., led the Fighting Knights in scoring this season. He netted 15 goals while dishing out five assists while playing in all 11 contests. He tallied a season-best eight points in the Blue & White’s first win in program history on March 11, when he scored five goals and added three assists in a 15-3 victory over Lees-McRae. He recorded four multi-goal games and five multipoint games in Lynn’s inaugural season.

The duo accounted for a third of the Fighting Knights’ goals as the Blue & White posted a 1-10 overall, 0-5 SSC record in 2014. Lynn graduates just two seniors and will return 20 members from the first-year squad for next season.

Strikers Fall 4-1 in Carolina The Fort Lauderdale Strikers (1-0-1, 3pts) lost 4-1 to the Carolina RailHawks (1-1-0, 4pts) as Carolina’s Zack Schilawski and Enzo Martinez Photo by Rob Kinnan each scored two goals to keep the Fort Lauderdale Strikers winless in North Carolina and extend the RailHawks home unbeaten streak to 17 games.

The RailHawks first goal came in the 27th minute when Cesar Elizondo beat the Strikers defenders to get into the box and was pushed down by Chris Nurse for a penalty. Enzo Martinez converted the penalty to give the home team the 1-0 lead.

The Strikers tried to even the score just 2 minutes later as Mark Anderson took a shot that was saved by RailHawks goalkeeper Akira Fitzgerald. The save of the match came in the 38th minute by Carolina’s Fitzgerald when Anderson took a shot from about 24 yards out, and the

keeper made a diving save to his left to keep the Strikers out of the net.

Two minutes later, in the 40th minute Carolina capitalized on a misplayed ball

by Strikers defender Justin Chavez and doubled the score on a great shot by Zack Schilawski who beat Nikolov for the 2-0 lead.

After going into the locker room down 2-0, the Strikers came out strong were able to cut Carolina’s lead just two minutes into the second half. Chris Nurse found a ball that bounced around inside the box and put it away in the back of the net for what turned out to be the Strikers only goal of the match.

It seemed Fitzgerald was zoned in to Anderson who had his third shot of the night stopped by Carolina’s keeper in the 53rd minute after a great shot by the forward caused Fitzgerald to make a diving stop.

The Strikers had a chance to tie the score in the 65th minute when Anderson was given a free kick from just outside the box, but Anderson couldn’t capitalize.

The RailHawks regained their two goal lead in the 72nd minute when Martinez received a great ball from Schilawski and beat Oka Nikolov. Just four minutes later, Schilawski all but assured the victory by grabbing his second goal of the night on a great assist from Elizondo, putting the RailHawks up 4-1.

Meyer recorded multiple hits in each game and had a pair of three-RBI outings.

Down Goes Sparta: Lynn Softball Ends Season with Win Over No. 9 Tampa

Lynn University’s softball team split its twin bill with ninth-ranked Tampa on Friday, dropping a close 2-1 contest before pulling off its biggest upset of the year with an 8-4 victory to end the 2014 season.

Lynn had not defeated Tampa since 2006 while this also marked the first home loss of the season for the Spartans. Despite only winning one of the three games Lynn outscored their rival 9-8 in total. With the split, Lynn concludes the year 21-30 overall and 5-19 in the Sunshine State Conference.

Jasmine Campos was able to get the Blue & White offense going early in the second contest of the day, singling home Danielle McNeill to put her team ahead 1-0. Tampa (31-6, 19-5 SSC) responded by plating all of its runs in the home half of the first.

Devin Kochergen was able to knot the score up at four an inning later when she smashed a three-run home run off of Spartan ace Kayla Cox. Her moonshot became the first home run hit out of the Naimoli Family Field complex. The senior from Madera Ranchos, Calif., concludes her remarkable season with the second-most home runs (14) and third-most runs batted in (49) in a season in program history.

Lynn retook the lead in the fifth inning, starting off with a solo bomb from Cherise McEnery. The junior from Cloverdale, Calif., became the second player to hit a home run out of the Naimoli Family Field Complex. McEnry finished the 2014 cam-

paign with 11 home runs, tied for the fifth most in a single season.

The lead extended with a two-run double to right center from Kasey Murray and a RBI single by Kaci Vassallo immediately after. With her 32nd double, Murray moved into sole possession of fifth place all-time at Lynn.

Missy Montgomery (9-10) completed her 16th game of the season, holding the nationally-ranked Spartans to only four runs, all earned. She struck out one and walked three.

Freshman Crystal Cano was among five Fighting Knights who recorded multiple hits in the game, ending the day with a 3-for-4 performance.

In the first game of the doubleheader, the Blue & White surrendered two runs in the opening frame and never could take the lead.

Murray hit her first triple of the season in the fourth, bringing in a runner to cut the deficit to 2-1. The senior from Lutz, Fla., was tagged with the loss after surrendering two runs off four hits in her final collegiate performance. She finished the season with a 9-15 record.

The Fighting Knights conclude their best offensive season under head coach Amy Bellisari. As a unit they cracked the top-five for RBIs (2nd), batting average (4th) hits (4th) and home runs (5th).

Lynn Basketball Signs Two for 2014-15 Season

By Olivia Coiro

Lynn University’s head men’s basketball coach Jeff Price is pleased to announce the addition of Benjamin Berry and Pat Jones for the 2014-15 season. After finishing the regular season 9-17 and 3-13 in the Sunshine State Conference, the Fighting Knights look to have a huge improvement next year with the addition of Berry and Jones.

“We are extremely excited to add both Ben [Berry] and Pat [Jones] to our program,” said Price. “We feel they will address the needs we have from the perimeter with the ability to make threepoint shots. They should both have an immediate impact on our program.”

Berry is a 6-foor-4 forward and native of Mustang, Ok., where he graduated from Mustang High School. He was named the Defensive Player of the Year and First Team All-Conference during his time at MHS. He attended the University of Science and Arts in Oklahoma where he was named Freshman of the Year in the Sooner Athletic Conference.

After transferring to Northern Oklahoma College-Enid he was named First Team All-Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Confer-

ence and All-Region when he shot 49 percent from three-point range and made 56 percent of his shots from the field while averaging a team-high 18 points and 7.5 rebounds a game.

Jones, a 6-foot-1 guard, is a transfer from Johnson County Community College where he was selected to the 2014 NJCAA Division II Men’s Basketball AllAmerica Second Team as a sophomore.

He averaged 20.6 ppg becoming just the sixth player in JCCC history to finish the season with an average over 20 per game.

Jones made 86 three-point shots and 193 free-throws this past season and in his two years at JCCC, scored 843 points and made 114 shots from behind the arc.

“Both guys were very impressed on their visit to our university and just as importantly, we were impressed with them as young men,” added Price. “We look forward to having them.”

Berry and Jones are the first two signees for the 2014-15 campaign. The Blue & White returns all five starters from last season’s squad which suffered a first round loss in the Sunshine State Conference Tournament.

Golf Life in boca

By Stan Moore

Early Release Good players are able to create tremendous clubhead lag, storing energy until the last possible moment, before finally unleashing the clubhead through the ball.

The majority of poor ball strikers lose this lag much too early in their downswing.

They suffer an early hit. As a result whatever power they might have stored in the backswing, is lost with a very weak, slappy hit, and the clubhead decelerating through impact.

Symptons of such an early release can be loss of the angle at the back of the right wrist, the club and right arm virtually forming a straight line;Impact - a scoopy position, the hands either level with, or slightly behind the ball; post impact - the right hand wraps over the left as the left wrist collapses.

Another clue to this fault is that you hit your woods reasonably well, but strike your iron shots poorly - not solid, no divot. If that sounds familiar you can assume you are an early releaser.

You can get away with an early release more with a wood than an iron, because you can sweep a wood shot, but in order to really strike your iron shots crisply, your left wrist must be ahead of the clubhead through impact.

Alegria Edges Valiente 11-10 to Win U.S. Open Polo Cup at Wellington

By Skip Sheffield

The tenth annual Maserati U.S. Open finals at International Polo Club Palm Beach wrapped Sunday, April 20 with a see-sawing, cliff-hanging, sudden-death final match between two equally able teams: Valiente, which had hoped to cinch the coveted triple crown of Polo, and Alegria of Canada. Underdog Alegria pulled an upset victory by making a penalty shot in sudden-death over time to emerge victorious over Valiente, with 11 goals to their 10. It was one of the most exciting, evenly-matched polo games I

have ever seen. It helped ease the sorrow of the recent destruction of Royal Palm Polo Grounds in Boca Raton for the inevitable high-end development.

Polo commentator Tony Coppola, who was announcing his 35th U.S. Open, told us the first U.S. Open was held in Cortland Park, Bronx, New York in 1904. The 100th

Sports

anniversary was played at IPC Palm Beach in 2004 and it has been played there ever since.

Coppola explained polo is more like “hockey on horseback’ than “croquet with horses.” It is a fast, often violent game played on a field 300 yards long and 160 yards wide. During the final match, two players were thrown from their horses, as well as one umpire. Fortunately there were no injuries of man or horse. Sadly, 10-goal, five-time most valuable player Carlos Gracida was killed earlier this year at Wellington.

Alegria is captained by Julian Mannix of Calgary, Alberta Canada, but the rest of the team is from Argentina, which is a world leader in high-goal polo.

There are amazing players on both teams.

Sapo Caset of Valiente, who is from Lobos, Argentina, scored six goals, five of them on penalties. Nevertheless it was teammate Santi Torres of San Inez, California, also with six goals, who was awarded most valuable player.

The winning goal was a 40-yard penalty goal by Hilario Ulloa of Alegria. Ulloa was joined by teammates Julian Mannix, Mariano Aguerre and Clemente Zavaleta in the winners’ circle for the presentation of the U.S. Open Trophy, awarded to winning teams since 1910.

While the high-goal polo season is over at IPC Palm Beach, play continues through May 26 at Grand Champions Polo Club.
