The Boca Raton Tribune Your Closest Neighbor

A local nurse who was an aspiring model in 1976 says Bill Cosby gave her pills that made her feel groggy then forced himself on her sexually during an encounter in Las Vegas.

Therese Serigense, then a 19-year-old aspiring model, said while admiring a jewelry case at a Las Vegas Hilton souvenir shop, she caught Cosby’s eye.

“My sister was next to me and somebody came up and put their arm around my neck and said, ‘Will you marry me?’ And I turned around and looked and it was Bill Cosby,” Serigense, now 57, said.

She said the comedy legend invited her to his performance in Las Vegas. She went to the show and when it was over she was escorted to his green room. Over the course of the evening she said the guests left one by one. Soon, the aspiring teen model and the superstar were left alone and then he gave her two pills and a glass of water, saying, “Take these,” she said.

“Because of my nature - I did go to Catholic school where they hit you. You obeyed authorities,” she said. “You did you what you were told. I took the pills.”

Serignese said her next memory was clearly feeling drugged, standing up naked.

“Bill Cosby was behind me, having sex with me,” she said.

Serigense detailed the alleged abuse in a hand-written letter she said she faxed to a Philadelphia police department in January 2005 - almost 30 years after the incident.

Serignese also provided a copy of that statement to The Associated Press. However, the AP could not confirm Thursday that a

www.bocaratontribune.com

report had been filed with the Philadelphia police department.

She also showed WPBF a fax cover letter with a 2005 time stamp.

“There’s no DNA. There’s no evidence.

There was no cameras. There’s no videotaping back then. There’s no proof,” she said.

“It’s just my word against Bill Cosby.”

Serignese says after the alleged rape, she willingly stayed with Cosby in Las Vegas for some time, but could not specify how long or whether the two had sex again during their time together.

She also said she carried on relations with Cosby for years afterward because her mother advised her the famous comedian would take care of her. She said Cosby has given her checks totaling $15,000 up until 1996.

She said they have not contacted each other since.

The allegations by Serignese are similar to that of Barbara Bowman and Joan Tarshis, who were aspiring actresses at the time, and model Janice Dickinson.

A fourth woman, Tamara Green wrote an opinion piece Wednesday for “Entertainment Tonight.” In 2005, Green publicly claimed that she was drugged and Cosby attempted to assault her; Cosby’s lawyers have previously denied they knew each other.

Cosby has repeatedly said that the allegations are untrue. And he has never been prosecuted.

But since 2005, a handful of women have made the claim. This year, those accusations resurfaced.

This report was supplemented with information from CRA News Service.

EDITORIAL

By C. Ron Allen

At 94, Local Icon Stays Connected via Social Media I got a call from longtime private investigator Virginia Snyder recently inviting me to her 94th birthday party.

I’ve known the Delray Beach icon for many years and have celebrated a few of her birthdays. The thing that struck me most about our conversation was that she said she had to call me because she couldn’t find me on Facebook.

Facebook I thought … even a nonagenarian is engaged in technology. Wow! But then, again, this was Virginia Snyder, the former newspaper reporter turned super sleuth who still can be found typing away on one of her two IBM Selectric typewriters at 10:30 p.m. between her time on social media.

While older internet users are likely to stay in the shallow end of the internet activities pool - email and search, Virginia is definitely among the 38 percent of U.S. adults age 65 and older who have jumped into the social media deep end, according to a Pew Internet Project study.

As she has grown old - limited by a stroke, from which she has since recuperated technology has become a refuge, where her world remains vast and challenging and rewarding. She also corresponds with friends on Skype.

“Oh, yes I do,” she said as a matter-of-factly.

“Although I don’t do much of it anymore because I keep forgetting my password.”

With her not being as mobile, she uses social media to satisfy her appetite for information.

“I have to stay on top of what’s happening around me, C. Ron,” my mentor said, referring to Facebook. “I have to know what’s going on in the community.”

She made me aware of so much news around the city. For example, she has been monitoring the case of Melissa Elizabeth (Bean) Daniels, a 41-year-old homeless woman from Delray Beach who was burnt with hot liquid on Aug. 28 and is clinging to life in the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Burn Center.

“I have been following that since it happened,” said Virginia, who made a name for herself among attorneys and other local detectives for many years. “They are waiting for her daughter to give them the OK to pull the plug but …”

As she relayed the information to me, I could hear the eagerness and anger in her voice: Eager because she had the thirst to find Melissa’s coward attackers, and angry because of the heinous act.

If Virginia was still able to walk the streets and “shake the bushes”, I am sure she would. After all, she has worked on more than 100 murder cases, and helped to free six convicted or imprisoned inmates from death row back in her heyday.

The Virginia Snyder I met 30 years ago, when I was a cub reporter, was at this party.

For the next 30 or so minutes, I listened to her reminisce. It was a lesson that many college students did not get after four years.

She spoke about her days as a reporter for the Boca Raton News and the now-defunct Fort Lauderdale News and Orlando (Sentinel) Evening Star. This was not just some wacky old woman with a gripe, as many newcomers think when they hear her name.

She has won seven national, state, and local journalism awards – all in one year – for her investigative work.

Gov. Reubin Askew named her as one of 14 “Outstanding Women of Florida” in 1975 and in 1996, Gov. Lawton Chiles awarded her the honor as one of “Florida’s Finest”.

Her work also landed her on such television shows as “20/20,” “Inside Report,” “Late Night with David Letterman” and “Today.”

It was, however, as a private eye, when she certainly proved her mettle investigating the Delray Beach Police Department.

She was largely responsible for ushering in a new era for the agency - one in which the department has modernized, become more professional, and examined the very real concerns of patronage, racism, and corruption.

Born in Winchester, Va., a small town in that state’s northern Shenandoah Valley,Virginia Artrip Snyder may be nearing 100. Still her memory is alert.

She can recite dates and occurrences with ease. In fact, she reminded me that she was born in 1920, the year women got the right to vote. She recalls being in the inaugural graduating class at Florida Atlantic Univer-

sity in 1964 and earning a degree in government and politics a year later. She also recalls when she became a private detective in 1976, becoming only the first woman in the state to open a private investigator’s agency.

As a reporter, the community activist founded the South County Neighborhood Center at Boca Raton and worked as its volunteer director for three years. The nonprofit social services agency was later renamed the Mae Volen Senior Center. In 1970, she founded “Project You,” a juvenile delinquency prevention program, and helped create the Florence Fuller Child Development Center in Boca Raton and Aid to Victims of Domestic Assault agency in Delray Beach.

Among the attendees at her small gathering was one of her classmates 50 years ago.

“He had just returned from Mexico where he had been studying or learning to be a bullfighter,” she recalls with ease. “I didn’t know that they don’t practice with bulls.

They actually practice with small cows heifers.”

For me, the highlight of the evening was a sidebar conversation between Virginia and a friend about exercising.

“Sex is the greatest form of exercise,” said the self-described cougar, whose husband of 56 years Ross, died four years ago. “And the joy about it is, it’s free. Doesn’t cost you a dime. But at my age, who cares?”

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

You Can Do Better!

Don’t look at things as they are and be satisfied. Rather, look at them as they can become and do your part to bring that into reality! The same also applies to persons with whom you interact. Who they are now should not be viewed with any finality!

They need your encouragement to become all they can be, to excel in all their pursuits, to maximize all their current doings!

I once read of an artist that set up a studio on the first floor of a downtown building of some city. One of the first things he noticed, looking out of his window, was a disheveled town vagabond who daily sat on the street across from his studio, as a beggar.

The artist made that man his first painting

project. He actually drew him not as he then looked but as he, the artist, imagined him to be. Upon its completion, he invited the man into his studio and showed him what he had done. Not knowing who the subject was, the homeless man inquired of the artist, and was most surprised when he was told that it was he, himself. His reaction was significant, for he responded by saying, “If that’s the man you see, that’s the man I’ll be!”

Much that is given to us is not for immediate, personal consumption; most is provided for us to improve: sometimes, for the betterment of the tool or of the situation. Most often, however, it is for our own, personal betterment.

Making excellence your personal goal already empowers you to go after what will bring it to pass! Thus, be a greater critic of yourself rather than of others. Realize the areas where you can improve and proceed to take the necessary steps to make it so.

You need to try and keep on trying whatever will enable you to be who you can be, and do what you are capable of doing! The very idea that you can accomplish it must become an inward belief and attitude with tangible efforts and visible outcomes, even if it may take time to complete, besides some barriers to overcome. As Samuel Johnson declared in his day, “the business of life is to go forward.”

Preparation for life is a daily, moment by moment activity. New challenges come all the time and we need to know how best to respond to them! As Rich de Vos recommends, “You never will discover how far you can go if you don’t start ‘doing it’.” You can confidently leave the results up to God as long as you faithfully do your part!

Ultimately, it is only in the path of obedience that you will understand where you are to go, and to go next! The right doors will open for you when you find yourself in the road God designed for you to traverse under His leading and personal care!

FAU Lands New Athletic Complex With Largest Donation in School’s History

“The Foundation believes Florida Atlantic University — our university right here in Boca Raton — is poised for greatness,” long-time FAU benefactor Dick Schmidt said. “As a community, we understand that to compete at the highest levels, in and out of the classroom, students must have access to premier facilities.”

The 185,000 square foot Complex will feature indoor and outdoor football fields, a wellness center, sports medicine center, new and improved weightlifting rooms, and many other amenities. The total cost for the facility expected to fall within the $45-50 million range.

The Schmidt Foundation has already donated $1 million to the project and has pledged to donate $5 million more in each of the next three years. However, the university is already looking for ways to fund the remaining $34 million.

“We are going to work aggressively as possible to finish fundraising for this project,” said FAU athletic director Pat Chun on funding for the center. “We’re hopeful over the course of the next few weeks or months we’ll have some follow-up announcements.”

The building, which will utilize the first floor of the newly constructed parking garage and the area adjacent to FAU stadium, will replace The Tom Oxley Athletic Center, which the football program has called home since 2001, as the university’s athletic center.

The new complex will also allow all FAU sports teams more flexibility in their practice schedules and study times.

With all 21 FAU sports teams using The Oxley Center, and the lack of an indoor football field, it is very difficult for all the student-athletes and teams to practice without conflicting schedules.

FAU will join Florida State University and University of Central Florida as the only Florida schools to have an indoor practice

facility, which football head coach Charlie Partridge explained is needed because of the frequent thunderstorms that strike South Florida during the summer, causing them to cancel practice, or practice early in the morning.

“We practice in the mornings to avoid the afternoon thunderstorms,” said Partridge.

“The indoor practice field will give us a chance to compete on a national scale as we move forward.”

“I think it greatly affects us as well,” said FAU women’s basketball coach Kellie Lewis-Jay. “When we look at scheduling and being able to get in the weight room at different times, it will greatly impact our day-to-day operations.”

“We’ve outgrown The Oxley Center,” continued Partridge. “This new complex is a game-changer and it changes everything for our student-athletes.”

The plan is to have the complex completed by the time the Class of 2018 are seniors, “We want to move rather quickly,” affirmed FAU’s President Dr. John Kelly.

Kelly, who came to FAU from Atlantic Coast Conference powerhouse Clemson, knows first-hand what a successful football program can bring to a university, “The academic side can benefit greatly from the athletic side,” explained Kelly.

Kelly also believes FAU become a premier academic establishment.

“With a main campus less than two miles from some of the country’s most pristine coastline, FAU has enormous potential and will become an irresistible draw for the best and brightest students,” Kelly said. “We’re going to play to win — and that means in the classroom and on the field.”

“FAU will be recognized as this country’s next great university,” he added.

It’s as simple as that.

“Birdman” is Michael Keaton’s comeback tour de force as the title character, Riggan Thomson. Riggan is an actor and a desperate man. Perhaps that is redundant, because all actors endure desparation.

Like the real-life Michael Keaton, who starred in a couple of Tim Burton’s Batman movies, Riggan Thomson starred as a superhero called Birdman for his ridiculous black bird outfit. He earned tons of money, but in fear of being typecast forever, Thomson walked away from the series.

He hasn’t worked much since; hence his desparation.

In a last-ditch attempt to rescue his career and self-esteem, Thomson has mortgaged his house and emptied his bank account to book Broadway’s fabled St. James Theatre and star in a play based on a Ramond Carver story called “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.” Could he have chosen a more awkward title?

That’s just the start of Thomson’s problems. Then his co-star drops out at the last

minute. The divorced Thomson’s girlfriend Lesley (Naomi Watts) suggests Riggan cast her friend Mike (Edward Norton).

Mike is an ego maniac and self-described “method actor” whose method includes not bothering to read the script.

This is Edward Norton’s best comic performance ever. At times he threatens to wrestle the spotlight away from Michael Keaton.

The star remains Michael Keaton, whose many problems include a drug-addled daughter Samantha (Emma Stone) who is fresh out of rehab.

Keaton utterly debases himself in an increasingly wacky black comedy nightmare.

Just about anyone who has ever had the “actor’s nightmare” will relate to Riggan’s increasing insanity. Mexican-born director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (“Babel,” “Biutiful”) pairs high drama with low comedy, often in the same scene.

Many will find “Birdman” overblown and pretentious, but isn’t that what theater is all about? If you understand that you will love this film. I do.

The Incredible Power of “We”

Mediation: Can It Reduce My Legal Fees?

Recently a friend drew my attention to a comment someone had made on social media. This statement seems to summarize the thinking of many people we encounter in the business and professional world today: “I am working on myself, for myself, by myself.”

Nine simple words, but they reveal a mindset that is very common wherever we go.

In fact, it can be boiled down to an even shorter, even more familiar declaration: “It’s all about me.” We all have heard sentiments like this said in many other ways as well. But what if we change that last phrase slightly and see the difference it makes: “It’s all about WE”?

Years ago, while still an inexperienced journalist, I took a job as assistant editor on a suburban newspaper. During my time there I learned a number of important principles, but perhaps none more significant than what I call “the power of ‘we’.” A senior editor was grooming me for a more responsible position, so I closely observed how he approached his job and interacted with staff reporters. When giving an assignment, or discussing how an article should be written or revised, he always said things like, “Why don’t we check with so-andso...?” or “How can we change this opening paragraph?” Rather than using the more directive “you,” he regularly used “we” to underscore the reality that we were working together as a team.

This was helpful in many ways. The staff members always felt the senior editor’s support. Even when problems arose, they did not feel isolated - “we are in this together” was the prevailing attitude. And they also were reminded that most of the time more is accomplished working in concert with

others than in working alone. This principle is repeatedly emphasized in the Bible as well: Knowing we all have important roles.

Sometimes it is hard to sense the “we” aspect of work when the roles of others seem more valued. However, whether our jobs are visible or not, whether we receive public acclaim for our work or not, our contributions are valuable for accomplishing the overall goals. “The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts, and though all its parts are many they form one body.... Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a part of it” (1 Corinthians 12:12-27).

Understanding we achieve more working together. Have you ever noticed how a task that seems overwhelming suddenly becomes much easier when someone joins you to help in getting it done? “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work” (Ecclesiastes 4:9).

Joining to confront opposition. When the ruins of Jerusalem were being rebuilt thousands of years ago, the builders understood the “we” principle, sharing in both the work and the challenge of fending off those who opposed the enterprise. “When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to his own work.... So we continued the work with half the men holding spears, from the first light of dawn till the stars came out”(Nehemiah 4:15-21).

Working on a common mission. Not only are we directed to work together for God’s purposes, but we also are assured God is an active participant on the “team.” “For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building” (1 Corinthians 3:9).

Q. I have been involved in

litigating a divorce case against my husband for about a year. It seems that every day he invents a new issue to argue about. We argue about what assets are marital or not, appreciation of those assets, alimony, child support and legal fees.

My lawyer has filed a motion to set the case for trial. The judge set trail dates but required that my husband and me mediate the case at lease sixty days before trial. We have to split the mediator’s fees and both of our attorneys have to be at mediation as do our two forensic accountants. By my arithmetic that costs me and the husband about $1,000.00 an hour, each.

My lawyer says that the mediation often ends the case and saves money when you do not think it will; but I don’t get it. Since my soon-to-be ex and I have not agreed on anything issue yet can’t we file motions to waive the mediation?

A.

Mandatory mediation has been part of Florida litigation, matrimonial law and civil law for over the last twenty years. Statistics claim that between eighty and ninety percent of all mediated cases settle before trial. Many cases settle at mediation, and additional cases settle between mediation

and the trial date based upon discussions at mediation.

Settling a case, even as contentious as yours, happens frequently when the parties understand how much more a trial will cost, over and above the mediation. Your judge has an appropriate calendar, giving the two of you the chance to settle your case while not having to work on trial preparation and mediation strategy at the same time.

A month before mediation meet with your counsel and accountants to outline your strategy. Make a list of items that you would agree to compromise with your husband if necessary for settlement. Try to figure out which issues you consider to be you’re unmovable and his, and look for some cracks in your own wall and his.

Look for tradeoffs.

Keep remembering that preparing for trial in a case like yours will cost about five times the cost of mediation. Remember that it is likely that the judge will not agree with all of your positions or all of his positions. Remember that judges occasionally make legal mistakes in his or her judgments will lead to more expense through appeals.

Be a good business woman and hope that he is a good business man and keep the money in your pockets. Mediate, it’s great.

Duch Designs: Beautiful Creations For an Amazing Price

Patricia Duch has been running her small business in Boca Raton for about a year now. While walking by Duch Designs, you may automatically assume that it is only another flower shop. But take a step inside and you will be pleasantly surprised at everything she provides for our city.

Unlike other businesses which only specialize on a small handful of items, she has a wide range. Duch does gift baskets, flower arrangements, corsages, Christmas tree decorations, wedding bouquets, acrylic painting, face painting, balloon art, and more. Instead of having to shop around at multiple locations, you can find most of your needs at her shop. Aside from the ar-

tistic aspects of her business, she is also an event planner and a wedding coordinator.

She can handle small events that host less to ten people to large ones that have over three hundred guests.

“I’ve always loved crafts and making things creatively,” she said. “When I was little, I used to make art for my family as gifts. I’d get wine bottles and glue rice to it and make it colorful, then I’d give it to my mother.

They were nice presents. I have always done it, it’s a gift from God.” She runs a small company where she is the only main employee with a few others on call. When she worked in Paraguay her staff was at fifteen and in New York she had five people working alongside her. She hopes on expanding her office in the future and to employ even more people then in order to provide more job opportunities and to better her store. When asked if she has plans on moving again in the future, she shook her head.

“I love my Boca location,” Duch said. “I did a lot of research before I chose Boca, and I looked to find what was one of the best towns to start a business in South

Florida. This city is always growing and I am so happy I decided to come here. I have zero plans to move. When my shop gets bigger, I want to get a second location. But I’m not leaving Boca. I love it too much.”

Her favorite part of the job is meeting people and interacting with the different cultures as well as making custom pieces that each have its own personality.

“As an entrepreneur, I am free to pursue my passion and be in control of my life,” says Duch. “I enjoy working with and learning from the best people. I learn something new everyday.”

A lot of her pieces have influences from different cultures, and they especially have European and South American ones. She firmly believes in representing other people with her work.

“I find that floral designing is a nice way to make people happy,”explains Duch. “There are all kinds of ways to try to change the

world; to make it better, being a Floral Designer is one way that I can use to bring some warmth and happiness to other people.”

Her flowers come from Ecuador, and they typically last 10-14 days. She is even currently working on a project that involves making a video of people in Paraguay. It will show the process of them making nativity sets by gathering clay from a lake.

“The country is filled with poor people so I want to help my home,” she said. “I want people to see these pieces that they make over there and I want them to buy their work. They are artists as well, even if they aren’t recognized by the rest of the world.”

Duch Designs is located on 141 NW 20th Street Suite B7 in Boca Raton. They are open Tuesday through Saturday and you can reach them at 561-405-6856.

GOP Governors Converge in Boca for Association’s Annual Conference

By CRA News Service

About 30 Republican governors and governors-elects, including the biggest names in the GOP rumored to be considering a presidential run in 2016, were at the Boca Raton Resort and Club recently for the Republican Governors Association’s annual conference.

Among the attendees were Govs. Rick Scott and Scott Walker of Wisconsin who won hard-fought re-elections, Chris Christie of New Jersey, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Rick Perry of Texas, John Kasich of Ohio and Mike Pence of Indiana.

“Winning beats losing…,” said Christie, who passed the leadership reins to another GOP executive. “It’s always good to be here after you’ve won.”

Several governors showered Christie with praise after he helped raise more than $100

million for the group and traveled tens of thousands of miles to campaign for Republican candidates.

The Republican Party boosted the number of GOP governors holding office nationwide from 28 to 31 earlier this month.

The candidates seized the opportunity to repay their gratitude to Christie, who is mulling a 2016 presidential bid.

“In addition to great candidates, I really do believe that the Republican Governors Association benefited by great leadership and the tireless and relentless and cheerful efforts that Chris Christie put forth,” said Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, another GOP governor on the list of potential presidential candidates.

Pence went on to say “the country owes a debt of gratitude to Chris Christie.”

Five of the governors who are potential 2016 candidates participated in what

became a sort of trial run for the coming presidential debates.

NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd moderated the panel with Walker, Pence, Perry, Jindal, and Kasich. The talk touched on immigration reform, the academic standards known as Common Core, and Medicaid health care programs for the poor.

Walker did less of the talking than some of the other potentials seeking a bid for the White House. But he did disagree, civilly but firmly, with Kasich on the wisdom of taking federal money to expand Medicaid health care for the needy as allowed by the federal Affordable Care Act. Walker and GOP lawmakers in Wisconsin rejected the extra money while Kasich used it to expand coverage of the uninsured.

Walker said that “true freedom and prosperity doesn’t come from the mighty hand of the government.”

www.bocaratontribune.com

Kasich countered that “Ronald Reagan expanded Medicaid” and repeated the point for emphasis.

But though the governors sparred repeatedly with Todd, the moderator, they largely supported one another.

“I think there are plenty of us up here that would be a great alternative to anything you’d see from the left,” Walker said.

Kasich paid Walker and the other men on stage a compliment in turn.

“Then you’ve got Walker. He runs for election every week. And he wins them all.

Incredible,” Kasich said, joking about the fact that Walker ran for governor in 2010, then the 2012 recall election, then again in 2014.

They’re all friends now, but they could soon become fierce rivals.

Examine your supply of checks to determine if any have been stolen.

Immediately reporting lost or stolen checks to your financial institution may decrease potential losses. Another tip: Never leave your checkbook in your vehicle.

When you are on your computer, use secure web sites. Look for signs of a secure web site such as a web address that begins with “https” instead of “http” and the display of a “closed lock” in the status bar. Malicious software can make a site look secure even when it is not, so it is always best to type in a web site address whenever possible instead of clicking on links in e-mails.

Limit your access to personal and confidential information on public computers. Remember to log out of online sessions that require you to use a password.

Unauthorized activity can occur if you leave your online session accessible to others.

Assistance to victims of identity theft Contact your financial institution immediately if you suspect that someone has had unauthorized access to your accounts or credit card information. You should also report the crime to local law enforcement.

‘Super Human’ Fish Oil! Ivy league physicians affiliated with Yale University believe their patented 4:1 ratio of EPA/DHA omega-3s are the future of fatty-acid therapy and deliver almost ‘super human’ results.

Prevention Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Omax3® Ultra PureTM, have decided to poor memory, or mood swings, this formula giveaway 1,000 boxes in a massive initiawill help or you don’t pay for it. tive to get consumers to try it.

“We believe one dose of this high performance 1.5g of omega-3 will change your opinion of fish oil with the dramatic results,” says Terry Tormey, CEO of Prevention Pharmaceuticals.

Ultra Pure Formula Equals Safety Some supplements may contain more than just omega-3. And some of that "extra" content you could do without, such as saturated fats, including unwanted omega-6 fatty acids, and toxins like mercury, lead, and PCBs commonly found in fish.

Freezer Test Proves Purity Omax3® was shown in lab tests to be 91% pure, free of bad fats and toxins. You can prove this by freezing your own fish oil. Put a pill of your store bought brand of omega3 in the freezer overnight. Then put Omax3® Ultra PureTM in the freezer overnight.

The difference is clear. The store bought brand will be cloudy, even a solid white. This is caused by the bad fats and toxins solidifying, which your body doesn’t need. Omax3® will remain clear, which equals safety and effectiveness.

Fewer Pills Better Results The patented delivery system gives you 1.5g per serving in just two easy to swallow liquid gel capsules, compared to the 6-12 you would need to take of a store bought formula. This means fewer pills equals greater results, you can feel.

Pharmaceutical Strength You now get the extreme health benefits you deserve and at the lowest possible price and without the fish burps! If you’re worried about cholesterol, painful joints,

Doctor Recommended “As a neurosurgeon I stand behind the breakthrough of the 4:1 ratio of EPA/DHA that makes up Omax3®.

It’s simply the most effective. The pharmaceutically-activated molecule maximizes absorption.

Personally, I use Omax3® to keep my joints pain free as I still run marathons at age 74.

I notice the mental boost. It’s your best antiaging weapon because it protects your heart, brain, and joints all in one pill.”

sports Two from 23: Men’s Soccer Travels to Louisville

The conditions won’t be perfect; temperatures will be in the mid-40s with rain and

wind. But Lynn University’s third-ranked men’s soccer team has been there before

and is looking forward to the chance to win the school’s 23rd national championship.

The Fighting Knights continue on in their quest for No. 23 on Thursday, December 4, at 2 p.m. when they battle Quincy on the campus of Bellarmine University in Louisville, Ky. Fans will have the opportunity to watch the match live at LynnFightingKnights.com or NCAA.com and receive in-game updates by following @ Lynn_Knights on Twitter and Instagram.

Four teams, all-ranked within the top-11 in the nation, remain in competition for the NCAA Division II National Championship: No. 1 Charleston (W. Va.), third-ranked Lynn, fifth-ranked Quincy and No. 11 Colorado Mesa.

This will be the first-ever meeting between the Blue & White and the Hawks. Quincy has gone 21-1-2 overall, defeating Drury (2-1) in the second round and Saginaw Valley State (3-0) in the third round before

needing three second-half goals to top Fort Hays State, 3-2, in the national quarterfinals.

The Hawks boast a pair of dynamic scorers in Jordan Roberts (23 goals, 53 points) and Xhovani Dokaj (18 goals, 12 assists, 48 points). Overall, Quincy has tallied 67 goals in 24 games for an average of 2.79 per game. Conversely, the Hawks have surrendered only 14 goals (0.56 goals-against average).

Charleston and Colorado Mesa squareoff in the first semifinals match at 11 a.m.

Lynn is 2-0 all-time against Charleston, having last met in 1997 when the Fighting Knights finished as the national runnersup. In two matches, the Blue & White has scored 10 times without conceding a goal.

Lynn has never faced Colorado Mesa.

The national championship is slated for a noon start on Saturday, December 6. All games can be watched live at LynnFightingKnights.com or NCAA.com.

Lynn Basketball Tames Tarzans in Historic Rout In their second contest versus each other in a two-week span Lynn University’s men’s basketball team defeated the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez 118-76 in the Sharks Thanksgiving Classic. With the victory Lynn improves to 4-0.

In the rout the Fighting Knights found themselves in the program record books with the most points scored in a half with 68 and the third-most points scored in a game.

The well-balanced attack was lead by Pavle Raickovic and Haki Stampley who each had 15 points. Ben Berry,Fred Landers, Aaron Harrison and Russell Wilson all chipped in double-digit points. Kaleb Clyburn led the squad in assists with five, followed by Berry and Landers with four.

On the boards, Raickovic paced the team with six followed by Wilson with five. De-

fensively Landers had three steals and Cory Thomas had three blocks.

No member of the Blue & White logged more than 17 minutes in the rout.

The Fighting Knights were the first on the board with a pair of free throws from Ben Berry. UPR took their only lead of the one-minute in as a three-pointer from Noel Muniz put the Tarzans up 5-2. Lynn quickly responded with layups from Aaron Harrison and David Johnson, who was fouled and made his free throw to put his team up 7-5.

The full court pressure caused trouble for the visitors in their following four possessions, with three turnovers in the span. The Fighting Knights were able to keep the Tarzans without a field goal for 10 minutes when a Jaime Perez jumper cut the lead to 41-10 with 9:57 left in the opening frame,

Ramon Calderon and Jorge Colon combined for three free-throw points during the dry spell.

The biggest lead for Lynn in the first 20 minutes came with 8:46 left before the intermission when a Pavle Raickovic layup put the Blue & White up 48-10.

Lynn shot 67.5 percent from the field and 87.5 from behind the three-point line. 11 different Fighting Knights scored in the first half with three reaching double-digits.

Led by Fred Lander’s two steals the Blue & White had seven before halftime.

Right out of the break Lynn showed it was not going to slow down, with Harrison collecting a steal within the first minute and another one the following play. The Fighting Knights amassed a 40-point lead off a David Johnson layup that made the score 82-42. Landers, Wilson and Kaleb Clyburn

all chipped in during the 9-0 run that put Lynn up 89-42.

Another three-pointer from Landers put Lynn up 98-46, their biggest lead of the night. The 100-point mark was reached with 8:16 left in the rout off a Raickovic layup.

The total score made the program record books after a Kevin Johnston layup gave Lynn 116 points, fifth-most all-time. Moments later Dante Scholl made a layup to give the Fighting Knights 118, tied for third all-time. The most points in a contest is 120, reached against St. Thomas back in the 1997 season.

For the match Lynn shot 67.6 percent with a 64.7 clip from three-point land. The Blue & White forced 26 UPR-Mayaguez turnovers, scoring 40 points from them.

Lynn Basketball Players Team up With Boca Elementary

By Jason Schwartz

When the opportunity rose for the Lynn University’s men’s basketball team to get involved in the community, Aaron Harrison embraced the chance to read to students at Boca Raton Elementary.

“It’s a fantastic way to start being role models to the kids at Boca Elementary,” Harrison, a senior, said. “It is awesome to give back to the children that support us.

Growing up, many people took the time out of their busy lives to become our role models and we plan to do the same thing with these young kids.”

Harrison and other members of the men’s basketball squad read to students in kindergarten to second-grade in October.

That literacy partnership has morphed into a program where the Fighting Knights are now mentoring the fifth grade boys.

To show their gratitude, Boca Elementary hosted a luncheon for Lynn University on Nov. 20.

The luncheon was not only to thank the team but also to kick off a mentorship program between the college players and fifth-grade boys.

“It was just a phenomenal event,” said guidance counselor Eleanor Craft, who along with

Fighting Knights head coach Jeff Price created the partnership. “Very interactive.

We did a team-building exercise called the human knot that required them to use skills such as cooperation and communication.”

The group also discussed goals, and then the boys asked pre-prepared questions they had written on note cards. Among the questions were, “What does it take to be on the Lynn basketball team?” and “What’s your favorite book?”

Each boy received a Lynn University Athletics backpack, and tables were decorated in Fighting Knights blue and white.

Price, who returned to Lynn last year after he helped start the men’s basketball program in 1993, has a second-grade daughter who attends Boca Raton Elementary.

Mary Jo Braisted, Choice program coordinator at Boca Elementary, said the partnership with the college players is a big deal for her students.

“They love when anyone reads to them, but especially young men from the team,” she said. “Not all our of boys have the best role models, so this program will help fill that gap.”

Price provides tickets to games, so the students get to see the players on the court as well, she said.

FAU Drops Season Finale 31-28

The Florida Atlantic University football team ended its 2014 season with a 31-28 loss to Old Dominion, on a 27-yard field goal as time ran out on Saturday. FAU recognized its 19 seniors playing their final game at FAU Stadium prior to kickoff. “(I’m) obviously disappointed, ending the season with a loss for our seniors, but I’m proud of the way they fought,” said Charlie Partridge, FAU’s head football coach.

“There is no question our kids continued to play with great effort. The bottom line is again, we’re close.”

ODU (6-6, 4-4 C-USA) and FAU (3-9, 2-6 C-USA) were tied 21-21 at the half. The Monarchs did most of their damage in the air, with 174 passing yards through 30 minutes, while 153 of the Owls’ 195 first half yards came on the ground.

The Monarchs drove 75 yards to score on their first possession when Taylor Heinike threw the first of his three touchdown passes to take a 7-0 lead. The Owls responded with a 13 play, 78-yard drive, capped off by a one-yard Tony Moore rush to tie the game 7-7.

After the Owls made a defensive stand, Lucky Whitehead returned a Monarch punt 73 yards to put FAU up 14-7. It was a career long punt return for Whitehead and the first punt return touchdown by an FAU player since November 17, 2001 and the second longest in school history.

ODU tied the game on a 12-yard touchdown pass with 10:13 left in the first half.

The Owls quickly marched down the field to regain the advantage, 21-14. The Monarchs answered with a scoring drive of their own, knotting the game at 21.

The two teams were scoreless in the third quarter, but ODU broke the stalemate with a 68-yard touchdown run to go ahead 28-21 with 11:58 to go in the game. The Owls had driven down the field and were threatening to tie the game when the Monarchs recovered an FAU fumble at the ODU 10-yard line to end the threat.

FAU’s defense forced a three and out, and the offense quickly took advantage, withJaquez Johnson scrambling 11 yards for a game tying touchdown with 5:14 to go on the clock.

ODU ate up the clock on the final drive, going 57 yards in 16 plays to get to the FAU 11-yard line. Kicker Satchel Ziffer then hit the game-winning field goal as time expired.

Whitehead’s night ended with 120 allpurpose yards and a touchdown. Moore, Johnson and Jay Warren, all had rushing touchdowns for the Owls. Andrae Kirk finished with a game-high 12 tackles, two shy of tying the school record for career tackles.
