Rolex 24 in Photos: A6/A7 Campus Safety Recognizes Lieutenant Norm Kenaiou

Lt. Jaime Gonzalez Campus Safety and Security Bicycle thefts on our campus are a problem we take very seriously at the Safety & Security Department. A thief typically finds an easy-tocut cable lock on the target bike, if it’s even locked at all. It’s one of the major reasons we started the LeaseA-Lock program many years ago. We try and educate our students on how the program works through the University 101 classes, resource fairs, placing flyers on residence halls, and by using our Student Crime Prevention Practitioners to promote the program. Our Lease-A-Lock Program has prevented numerous bike thefts, but we cannot stop them all from happening, as some students are not taking full advantage of this program. The good news is that at the time this article was written we’ve only had one stolen bicycle since the beginning of 2016. The reason was that the stolen bike had a cable lock and not the Kryptonite U lock type we recommend. Protect your bike or motorcycle with this program. Call or email Jaime Gonzalez for details. Campus Safety & Security would also like the ERAU community to know one of our day shift officers, Lt.

Norm Kenaiou. He’s been with our Department a little over three years. Norm is bilingual and served as a police officer for the city of Daytona Beach for 27 years. He brings a great deal of experience to our Campus Safety & Security Department. Speaking of bike thefts, he recently prevented two this year by apprehending the suspects and alerting the Daytona Beach Police Department. Both suspects were turned over to police and issued trespass warnings from our campus. His vigilance and alertness prevented the theft of these two bicycles and protected our students and their property. Here are some of the crime statistics for the City of Daytona Beach in the district where our campus is located. From the dates of 1-10-16 to 1-23-16 there were thirteen stolen vehicles, most of which were left running, unattended, or with keys left in the ignition. Of the twenty-eight cars were broken into recently, twenty-seven were left unlocked. So make sure you always lock your vehicles, whether on or off campus. Pay particular attention, especially when refueling your vehicle. Never leave your vehicle running or with your keys inside. It only takes seconds for someone to jump in and take your car. Remember, it’s always in your interest!

Summer A Study Abroad to Canary Islands: Be The Change! Janet Tinoco Professor, College of Bus. How does a summer full of adventures and memories sound? The Canary Islands Summer A Study Abroad Program (May 25 to June 24, 2016) is all you need to have a once in a lifetime experience. Dr. Janet Tinoco and Prf. Ray Sanders will embark on this journey with ten ERAU students. The students will have the opportunity to learn and work side-byside with fellow college students at the Universidad Europea de Canarias in Tenerife, Canary Islands. The Canary Islands are part of Spain, but lie close to Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. They were once considered the gateway to the New World, active in international trade and the last stop for Christopher Columbus before he embarked on his journey to America in 1492. Tenerife, one of the main islands, has near-perfect sunny year-round temperatures, letting you enjoy one of the most unique landscapes in the world: tropical rain forests, the active El Teide volcano with its barren surround-

ings, sunny beaches, and historic colonial villages and metropolitan cities. Tenerife also boasts the El Teide Observatory, a key element of the astrophysics research in the Canaries. The island was also the site of the worst airline disaster in aviation history, where two Boeing 747s collided on the runway at the Los Rodeos Airport on March 27, 1977. 583 people died as a result. The Canary Islands “Be the Change” summer abroad program features up to nine (!) undergraduate credit hours or 3 graduate credit hours in a length of one month. The courses offered are HU399 Spanish Art, Literature, and Culture; EC299/399 Essentials of Economics/ Special Topics (Substitution for EC 200 or EC211), and BA399/699 Be the Change: Developing the Leader in You. Professors from our island host university will teach HU399, which allows a wonderful interaction with those who live and work in the Spanish Colonial island villages and towns. Learn salsa! Mimic the unique ancient island language of whistling! Sip wine at the

local wineries! New this year will be general education economics courses taught by Prf. Sanders and a new leadership course taught by Dr. Tinoco. Plans including working with the Spanish university on a community service project, visiting the observatory, sipping wine at local wineries while developing your own leadership styles, and getting two gen ed classes finished!

Megadeth: Dystopia Richard Acquist Production Mgr., WIKD If there is one thing that can be said about Megadeth, is that it the band has had an interesting career. In its 33 year run, Megadeth has had multiple lineup changes and some lackluster albums (such as Risk). The release of Dystopia, the band’s 15th album, brings a return to form for the Thrash giant band. After the release of their 14th album, Super Collider, the subsequent departure of their then-drummer Shawn Drover and lead guitarist, Chris Broderick, it did not look good for lead singer Dave Mustaine and Megadeth. If there’s one word that could describe Dave Mustaine, it is tenacious. There were rumors that he might enlist the help of former band mates Nick Menza and Marty Friedman, which would see a return to the classic Rust in Peace line up from the 80’s. Those rumors were put to rest when Mustaine announced that Kiko Lou-

rerio, Angra’s guitarist, and Lamb of God’s drummer Chris Adler, would be playing on Megadeath’s newest album. The riffs in Dystopia are as intricate as they are amazing. Dave Mustaine and Kiko Lourerio do not mess around on this album. Both deliver an amazing performance, and the solos on this album are pretty good. The addition of Chris Alder brings a new feel to the drum sound of Megadeth this album. His fills during the down periods and the foundation he keeps while the guitars are shredding away give testament to his prowess behind the drum kit. When it comes to the songs themselves, Megadeth does not disappoint. The politically charged ones such as “The Threat Is Real”, “Post American World”, and “The

Emperor”, really stand out above the rest. Other songs, such as “Poisonous Shadows” and “Fatal Illusion” show off the versatility of Dave Mustaine and crew. There is one cover song in the bunch, which is “Foreign Policy” by Fear. This songs fits very well into the whole theme of the album - that everything is slowly falling apart in front of everyone’s faces. All in all, this is a Thrash album through and through. Dave Mustaine made a positive decision when he hired Kiko Lourerio and Chris Alder to help him and his long time bassist, Dave Ellefson, to perform on this album. Dystopia proves that Megadeth is still a force to be reckoned with in the metal community. Fifteen albums under their belt and Megadeth is still going strong.

Megadeth: Dystopia

have plenty of time on your own for hiking, sailing, whale watching, snorkling, scuba diving, dancing, and shopping throughout the islands. Transportation around the island is easy and inexpensive. Space is limited, so we encourage you to start applying now for an unforgettable study abroad experience. This session includes island excursions, apartment lodging

with pool and maid (!) service, transportation to/ from the university, books, and insurance for $4372. Tuition is only $3993 for NINE undergraduate credit hours or 3 graduate credit hours. The deadline is rapidly approaching. So, join us in Summer A! Swim in the lava pools, dance the night away in the rich club scene, sip wine at the Bodegas Monje winery, go scuba diving, hike the

rainforest, or sunbathe on the beaches. Find yourself in the Canary Islands. Contacts for this study abroad are: Prf. Ray Sanders (raymond. sanders@erau.edu), Dr. Janet Tinoco (tinocoj@ erau.edu), or daytonabeach.erau.edu/degree/ study-abroad/.

Men’s Basketball Falls at Rollins, 97-93, Despite Barnes’ Best Efforts Michael Pierce ERAU Athletics Dalton Barnes scored a career-high 31 points and Ognjen Miljkovic added 20 but the Embry-Riddle men's basketball team came up short as Rollins held on for a 97-93 victory on Saturday afternoon. The Tars improve to 14-6 with the win while the Eagles fall to 11-8. Barnes was efficient in scoring his 31 points, connecting on 10-of-17 field goal attempts, including 4-of-7 from behind the arc, while converting

7-of-9 free throws. Dillon Graham chipped in 16 points, five assists and a team-high six rebounds, while Reed Ridder had six points and a team-leading six assists. Rollins held a slim lead through the first 10 minutes of the contest before a Miljkovic three-pointer sparked an 8-0 ERAU run that put the Blue and Gold in front for the first time, 23-21, with 8:50 to play in the first half. The Tars regained the lead just 70 seconds later and stretched the advantage to double-fig-

ures (46-36) just prior to the half and carried a 46-38 lead into the break. The Tars continued to carry the momentum early in the second half, eventually pushing the margin to as many as 14 points (74-60) with 10:17 left on the clock. Rollins still held a 12-point lead (8876) with 4:36 to play and looked to be in control of the contest. But the Eagles mounted a furious comeback over the final minutes led by Barnes, who scored 21 of his 31 points in the final 10:09 of the game.

Barnes made a pair of free throws and followed with a triple on the next possession to trim the deficit to 88-81 with 2:43 left. A Barnes tip-in made it a five-point game (90-85) with 73 seconds to play and two more Barnes free throws cut it to just two points (92-90) with 29 ticks left. Daniel Kielsing calmly knocked down a pair of free throws with 11 seconds left to make it a 93-92 game, but the Eagles couldn't draw even as the Tars made their free throws and escaped with a 97-93 win.

Rollins’ Win 71-57 Against ERAU Women’s Basketball Michael Pierce ERAU Athletics The Rollins women's basketball team built on a strong second quarter performance to top Embry-Riddle (6-13) 71-57, on Saturday afternoon at Warden Arena. The Tars, who shot 44.4 percent from the field, shot 64.3 percent in the second quarter, outscoring ERAU 24-7 in that period to improve to 9-9 on the year. "We didn't show up in the first half, offensively or

defensively," ERAU Head Coach Lisa Nuxol-Wilson commented. "We didn't stick to our game plan. We aren't going to get better at playing more consistently if we don't start games focused and ready to compete every possession." Both teams struggled to start the game and at the end of a low-scoring first quarter, the Eagles held a 9-5 lead over the host Tars. The second quarter belonged to the Tars who went on a 15-1 run to open up a 20-10 lead. ERAU only trailed by seven with

5:02 left in the frame, but nine turnovers and 20 percent shooting by the Eagles helped Rollins take a 29-16 lead into the locker room at the half. The Tars continued to build on their advantage through the next two quarters and led by 24 points (60-36) early in the fourth. The Eagles outscored Rollins 21-11 in the final 7:12 of the contest, but it was too little too late as the early deficit was too much for ERAU to overcome.

The Eagles had three players finish in double figures, including Sabrina Whiting who had a team-high 15 points. Mercedes Jorge earned her third double-double of the year with 12 points and 14 rebounds, while Lauren Ellenberger added 10 points, six assists and four steals, and Taylor Cyphers contributed eight points and eight boards. ERAU Women’s Basketball returns to the ICI Center at 5:30 p.m on Feb. 3 to host Tampa.

ERAU Baseball Takes Season-Opening Series From Palm Beach Atlantic with Saturday Split Ryan Mosher ERAU Athletics The Embry-Riddle baseball team moved to 2-1 on the young season on Saturday, claiming the series from visiting Plam Beach Atlantic, with a doubleheader split, winning the opener 6-1 before dropping a slug-fest in the series finale, 18-12. The Eagles' pitching held the Sailfish to just one run in Saturday's first game before the visitors exploded for 18 runs in the get-away game to salvage one win in the three-game set. Game 1 - ERAU 6, PBA 1 Kenny Burkhead scattered eight hits over 7.2 innings of work in his season debut, limiting the Sailfish to just one run as the Eagles scored five in the first inning en route to the 6-1 victory to lay claim to the series. Back-to-back one-out hits in the top of the first gave PBA its first run of the season when Sean Visconti doubled home Bobby Bren-

nan, but Burkhead, making his first start since mid-February of 2015, held the Sailfish to just one run, getting a strikeout and fly out to end the inning. The Eagle offense gave their starter all the runs he would need with a five-spot in the home-half of the first. Tobias Moreno began the inning with a single before Liam Goodall tripled to right-center to tie things up at 1-1. After Enderson Velasquez gave ERAU a 2-1 lead with a base hit up the middle, driving in Goodall, PBA starter Matt Picucci struck out Jonahan Camp, but Joshua Garcia singled before Matt Jacobs clobbered a pitch over the left field fence for three runs and a 5-1 Eagle lead. Burkhead got the first of four double plays from his infielders in the second, and after a scoreless top of the third, EmbryRiddle added its final tally of the contest when Garcia singled down the left field line, driving in Camp who had

doubled to right-center earlier in the frame. Burkhead was great at working out of jams for the entirety of his outing, but the Eagles couldn't score any more runs against Picucci or the two relievers Phil DiLandro and Sam Shields as the game went scoreless from the fourth inning on. Burkhead came out for the eighth inning and got two outs before Troy Naab made his collegiate debut in relief, striking out Peter Rivera with two men on to send the game to the bottom of the eighth. Naab worked around two singles in the ninth before punctuating the victory with a strikeout of Julian Bilodeau to end the game. Burkhead (1-0) walked three and struck out three on 114 pitches in 7.2 innings while Naab registered three Ks in 1.1 of relief. Jacobs' lone hit was the three-run homer, as Moreno finished 3-for-5 and a run and both Camp and Garcia collected two hits each.

Game 2 - PBA 18, ERAU 12 The series finale was a wild affair as the two teams combined for 30 runs and 28 hits while the Eagle defense was sub-par, committing six errors that led to 11 unearned runs. Nick Dearing got the start for the Eagles, and found himself behind 5-0 after two innings as PBA got on the board with one run in the first before a four-run second, highlighted by a home run from Hakeem Rhodes. ERAU got right back into the game over the next two innings, scoring its first run in the bottom of the second on a Jacobs ground out that scored Camp from third, and after Dearing set the Sailfish down in order in the top of the third, the Blue and Gold tied the game in the bottom of the frame. Moreno was hit by a pitch before Garcia singled through the right side, setting the table for Velasquez who doubled over the center fielder's head for two RBIs. Camp and Goodall wore

pitches in their next at-bats to load the bases as Jacobs got his second RBI with a fielder's choice to short. Kyle Zirbes tied things up with an RBI single to right as Camp scored to make it 5-5. ERAU scored three more runs in the fourth to take an 8-5 lead, two runs coming off a Garcia single up the middle, followed by a Jacobs single through the left side, bringing in Moreno, Dalton Hughes and Velasquez, respectively. A rare scoreless inning in the fifth preceeded the sixth where PBA chased Dearing from the game and eventually scored six runs in the frame to go back in front, 11-8. Two errors in the inning hurt the Eagles, but the offense responded by again tying the game with a threerun effort of their own in the home-half. Jacobs, batting with runners at first and second tripled to right, pushing Camp and Velasquez home before Zirbes singled to short to knot the game at 11-11.

The tie was short-lived however, as PBA produced another six-run inning in the seventh, taking a comanding 17-11 lead, thanks to four hits and two more ERAU errors. The Sailfish tacked on a run in the eighth before Goodall accounted for the final ERAU run with a single through the right side, scoring Velasquez, but the Eagles would get no more, dropping the game, 18-12. The loss went to Joey Swinarski (0-1) in 1.1 innings of relief, while Dominic Monda (1-0) earned the win out of the pen for PBA. Zirbes went 3-for-5 with two RBIs, while Jacobs collected five RBIs on two hits. Both Garcia and Velasquez recorded two hits and two RBIs while Velasquez scored four runs and Camp touched home three times. The Eagles host NAIA member Florida Memorial at Sliwa Stadium, Feb. 5-6 with a game on Friday at 6 p.m. and a doubleheader at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
